Current social, academic, and athletic events were covered as well as per- tinent school issues. Tiger Tales rolled off the press in the graphic print shop under the watchful eye of editor-in-chief, Linda Lindbloom, and co- editor, Mike McLaren. Issues hit the press on topics like the Junior College Referendum, the Christmas Coronation of Miss Alpha Omega, and the Homecoming Week. Special holiday issues conveyed the festive spirit with car- toons, features, and interviews of the season. Tiger Tales staff rushed to meet dead- lines. Reporters scouted up stories, editors planned pages, and the editor-in-chief pasted down the layouts. Tiger Tales produced eigh- teen issues for the '66-'67 school year.
