what is a yellow jacket? In 1970-71 the Yellow Jacket was more than an insect withh an enormous stinger. Osbourn's journalism staff demonstrated that point when they named their newspaper Yellow Jacket . With Mrs. Maxine Crane as a hard-working sponsor, the staff surged into a year full of news. Peggy George, the top editor, headed a large group of talented students. Their motto: Work! The 13 newspapers (who ever said that 13 was an unlucky number?) that they distributed this year required work. But not all this work was writing—along with imaginative layouts and skillful journalism was included an active business department. These business and advertising people were seldom as recognized as the writers, but they certainly deserved much credit. To enhance their skill, the staff even attended the newspaper clinic in October. Of course, Osbourn students well knew the excellence of their school newspaper before, but they still felt honored when the Yellow Jacket earned first place from the Southern Interscholastic Press Association. SI PA, an association of 270 schools, judged school publications from 16 states—cheers for the Osbourn Yellow Jackets! 18
