BOW AND ARROW Has Campaign Against Smoking Shayne Arrowood Joyxe Davis Co-Editor Co-Editor As typists, Carol Bailey and Sandra Furr prepare all copy that goes into the newspaper. Comprised of second year newspaper journalism stu- dents, the Bow and Arrow staff wrote news and sports stories, features, and editorials to keep the student body well informed of current school acti ’ities. Staff members began work in the summer selling ads and continued work- ing throughout the year, editing eight issues of the news- paper. During the year the Bow and Arrow undertook two major campaigns. Early in the year the paper competed in a nationwide health contest sponsored by the Tuberculosis Society. In conjunction with this contest, the paper printed set’eral articles on emjihysema and conducted a poll through- out the school on smoking. Then, the week of February 14-18, the newspaper initiated a campaign promoting safety. Mike Comhs, Roberta Brown, and ISlaucy Lyerly construct posters during the safety campaign. Page Trventy

Snow Fails to Hal Betty Blythe Marsha Springs Eilitor-iu-Cliief Assistniit Editor Allowing nothing to impede their progress, members of the Tomahawk editorial staff were determined to create a yearbook which would meet the high standards of past award-winning annuals. In the fall editors and assistants made plans, revised plans, and sometimes re- vised again. Unexpected holidays created by winter snows found staffers at school working steadily, though constantly plagued by a fear of such terrible terms as “deadlines” and “dead headlines.” After months of fren- zied activity, however, the 1966 Tomahawk finally went to press, and staff members could only await the return of the yearbook in which they had endeavored to fully tell the West High story.
