Who Are They In the hustle and bustle of going fo and frorn classes, there were those bright faces and outgoing personalities thar stood our in the crowd. Just a simple “Hello” or “How was that test?’ doesn't seem fo hold much significance by itself, bur those considerate gestures made marks in our minds. When the time came to choose who would be voted Mr. and Miss O.H.S., School Favorites, or Sweethearts and Beau, such things were recalled. These prestigious fitles were voted to those students who showed outstanding leadership abilities and personality. Differ- ent qualifications for each honor singled out the one who deserved thar position. Mr. and Miss O.H.S. were chosen by the faculty. The teachers looked for lead- ershio, academic standings, and citizen- ship in the senior nominees. Mr. O.H.5. was Richard Willlamson. He was a true leader in everything in which he partici pated. He gained the respect of all who met him in a courteous friendly manner. Miss O.H.S., Missy Gardner, an intelli gent person with a bright personality, was a leader in school and eagerly par- ticipated in any event or activiry de- signed to promore her school.

Jamming to the bear, senior “Cool Cat’ Bruce Wilprit and his date, Linda Arterberry, enjoy the dancing. We've Got Tonite! Junior Carole Eaves welcomed us alll After hectic weeks of planning, juniors began final preparation for the Prom April 28. Early Friday afternoon they hur- ried to their respective tasks: some fo Tyler to pick up tables and chairs, others to the Community Center to begin the tedious job of decorating. Sometime after midnight, they packed up their jamboxes and tapes and left. As we stepped inside and saw the white gazebo covered with plants, we knew it was going to be a beautiful prom. Stars hung from the ceiling and the walls were covered with a deep blue paper sprinkled with silver stars. A dainty glass and a convenient program book were set at each place for souve- nirs. to the festivities. When Senior Skip Stanger stood and gave the return, he stuck in a sly reminder of the ‘‘After prom activities!”’ Next, juniors Sally Stroud, Kristen Hamil- ton, and Susan Sudweeks read the Prophecy, entitled ‘“‘Friday the 18th.” Their light-humored, slightly roasting, short st ory proved very entertaining for everyone. Then, seniors Dianne Ferga- son and Missy Gardner rose from their candle lit tables and read the Wil. After the shock and amusement of the Prophecy and Will wore off, every- one relaxed with refreshments and dancing. Jr.Sr. Prom 27
