Deadlines Create Pressure Cooker Environment Jeff Mize and Charles Elliot type the popular gossip column wtiicfi fiurts feelings but sells papers Kerry Jones and John David Huie clip articles to paste on lay-out sheets. Mr. Tolbert and Mikey Smith enjoy storage space before being ousted by Mrs Nolen ' s reading class. Much liquid paper is required when proofreading lay ' sheets The Wetotem workroom is a refuge for study hall escapees, the sick, the hungry, the weary, and some who want to work on the paper. Supposedly there are assignments, deadlines, and a beat for every staff member to cover, but that ' s not the way it works. Most staff members have a fair idea of what they are supposed to do, but they usually try to find someone else to do it when press time comes. Somehow deadlines are met, but the copy has to be begged, bor- rowed, or stolen. As it turned out again this year, Mr. Tolbert carried much of the workload. There were many Wednesday nights when he stayed at the school until 2:00 or 2:30 a.m. typing articles to meet the deadline. Then he had to take the layout sheet to Culman where it was printed. Finally, in order to get the papers to school on time, he had to get up at 4:30 a.m. on Friday mornings and go back to Culman to pick up the papers. too Mickey Latta.

9 President The Student Government Association had a very active year, led by the first female president since 1 963. The SGA once again sponsored the yearly homecoming dance after the big game. Although everybody was wet, there was a good turnout for the dance. Student Council members worked hard taking up money and ribbons at the door and especially cleaning up afterwards. Many fund-raising projects were Initi- ated, and some proved successful. Valo- grams and the new Christmas-grams always sell well. Everybody thinks the more they send the more they ' ll get! The penny-drop was held to boost class points, but It really damaged some classes ' point standing more than it helped. One of the most important things the SGA did this year was the Blood Drive. Held March 31 , many pints of blood were donated to the Red Cross. April 22nd was CRAZY DAY. Students took the title very literally, and for fifth and sixth periods that day, not only were games played, but mud, water, eggs, and flour was slung. Results were as follows; seniors — 1 st place; sophomores — 2nd place; eighth grade — 3rd place; juniors — 4th place; freshmen — 5th place; sev- enth grade — 6th place. More than likely, that ' s the last CRAZY DAY Oneonta High School will see for a few years. Rusty Moore.
