This was a joyous occasion, not only for the school, but also for the parents and the Parish School Board who worked so hard for this achievement. In recognition for their work, we, the Johnson Bayou Annual Staff of 1966, wish to dedicate the REBEL to the Cameron Parish School Board. iMM PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Completing a successful year involves the coopera- tion of everyone that is remotely connected with the school, school board member, faculty, student body, and athletic association. To those aforementioned, I wish to express my sincere thanks. All expressions and deeds, regardless of how small or large, that contribute to the welfare and harmony of the scholastic program would come under the heading “Co-operating with the school program,” This is the kind of school and community that you and I are proud to be a part of.
