Dedication We, the Johnson Bayou annual staff of 1963, wish to dedicate the REBEL to you, the citizens of this community. We are deeply indebted to you for sup- porting our school activities wholeheartedly during the school year. Without the support and the encouragement of this community, without the faithfulness and the help of our parents, we would not have had such a success- ful year. To our parents who have toiled with us on the road to success, to our friends who diligently cham- pioned our cause, we are grateful. Administration The real workmen OUR PRINCIPAL MR.
