Tomahawk Editorial Staff Starting during the summer and continuing through No ' emher, the business staff solicited ads from business firms to provi de funds to publish the 1966 Toriahaw ' k. Later during the school year, members of the business staff took subscriptions for the annual. Soliciting names for the booster page of the Tomahawk was also a project of the business staff. Since the staff was responsible for the layout of the advertising section, members began planning the layout after all ads had been turned in and recorded. After this layout was combined with the editorial layout, the annual was sent to press and the business staff began preparations for next year.

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.

It is the purpose of the Quill and Scroll Society to honor those students who exhibit out- standing achiet ' cment in fulfilling their responsibilities as members on either of the annual ' s two staffs or on the newspaper’s staff. iMembers, who are tapped into the club each year during the month of March, must ha ' e serced for at least one year on a journalism staff and must rank in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing. Through the Quill and Scroll, mem- bers are encouraged to consider a field in journalism as a possible profession.
