Smiles and laughs are some of the reasons why Mary Dean Sanders and Danny Dunn fleftj and Terry Prater and Tammy Whittinghill were named as the Most Happy-Go-Lucky and Most Friendly couples. 5003 Emp : Two Seniors Sweep 'Superlative' Honors J A definition of senior superlatives might be students who .best repre- sent the senior class in certain cate- gories. The 1978 OHS seniors felt that three students in particular repre- sented a wide range of categories. Jackie Mayfield and Tom Roy cor- nered the market on the superlatives by being the first students to win three categories each. Terry Prater was elected to receive two superlative ti- tles. The multiple award winners came after a policy change by Student Council. ln the past when a student had won more than one title, the win- ner took the category of his choice and the other titles were passed along to the runners-up. J 'The Best Leadership titles went to Jackie Mayfield and Terry Prater. Jackie and salutatorian Bleckley Dobbs were named as the couple that were Most Likely to Succeed. Bleck- ley was also a National Merit Scholar. Most Bashful went to Debra Peay and Scott Plain., 1 Two musically inclined students Senior Superlatives were named as the Most Talented at OHS. Tom Roy, who served as the president of Chorus, and Glenda Dahlquist, who led the OHS band as the drum major. Tom was selected to receive the Best Looking award along with Kathy Kelly. Terry Prater and Tammy Whit- tinghill were named as the Most Friendly seniors as Terry received his second title. Girls' basketball player Janice Johnson and basketball, football and baseball star Mark Rickard came away with the Most Athletic title after the votes were counted. Mary Lois Shown and Robbie Holder were the good-natured recipi- ents of the Biggest Flirt title. The Happy-Go-Lucky couple elected was Mary Dean Sanders and Danny Dunn. Jackie Mayfield and Tom Roy closed the voting by being named as the Best All-Around seniors. The fi- nal superlative fit the two after they had already won two other categories. By Judy Kirk Love, love, love, according to OHS seniors, is best expressed by Biggest Flirts Mary Lois Shown and Robbie Holder. x g A A .
