DEDICATION A deviation from tradition................. A casual inspection of previous editions of the Acorn indicates a traditional practice of dedicating the yearbook to a member of the faculty. This, we believe, is a commendable gesture. The Acorn staff this year, however, felt that there are members of the OTHS family who, although they have never signed a grade slip or disarmed a water pistol foter, have contributed much to our school and to that area of education that is outside the realm of textbooks and test papers. It is, therefore, with sincerity and pride that we dedicate the 1956 edition of the Acorn to Mrs. Dorothy Dalbey who day after day has listened dry-eyed to many a woeful tale about headaches, missed busses, and lost books; who has conducted private study halls in the office for those students who found the regularly scheduled study periods restraining to their social desires; and who, in spite of the hundred daily tacks that are routine to a school secretary, has always managed to return the next day for another onslaught on her nerves and patience; and to Joseph McVey, Fred Montgomery, Wilson Hazelbaker, Layton Liggett, and Hershell Trinnie McPherson who, with a combined total of over a half century of service to OTHS, have invited many to ride their busses and a few to get off; who have worked with the faculty during this trying period in order that school might continue with a minimum of hardship on all of us; and who, despite the demands of the student body, faculty, and public, always give their best - - and with a smile. - - The Editor
