Editor's Message Memory is a fragile thing-- A bee’s honey and its sting! Newton With the passing years you will turn through these pages and recall scenes you saw, things you heard, and words you read. You will realize how your days at Leesville High were filled with memories you will cherish forever. They will produce honey” and stings”. Because many of our students are military dependents who come and go, the rest of the student body must make them feel welcome. It takes “harmony to help these people be a part of UH.S. Changing principals at mid-semester re- quired the efforts of all students to keep Lees- ville High a better place to work and play. Harmony” helped us through the transition. Harmony between the academic and extracur- ricular helped us make a bigger and better name for L.H.S. Our candidate for a state Beta office placed in the top three, our Speech team won first in state, our musical groups rated high at festivals, our students won top honors at literary rallies, our athletic groups re- ceived recognition for a fine job, and one of our fac- ulty members was appointed to a State Advisory Council. Throughout the 1966 Wampus Cat you will see how Harmony Reigns At Leesville High School Through The Help Of The Students And The Community” for 687 students. It has been an honor and privilege to edit the 1966 Wampus Cat. I hope you enjoy the pictures and writings, and may relive the honey” and stings”. May God bless and keep you. Linda Johnson Editor 4

Harmony Reigns at Leesville the Students and Our churches provide the spiritual enlightenment that each of us needs. Religion in- stills in us the desire to work with others and teaches stand- ards for all of us to live by. Mrs. Curry Ford presents David Smith, student body president, and Mr. Kimble Marler, world history teach- er, with American flags. The flags were donated by the Pilot Club of Leesville and were given to the So- cial Studies Department. Mr. T. L. Berry, Mayor R. J. Fertitta, Gen. Kelsie Reeves, Commanding General of Fort Polk, Senator Speedy Long, and Mr. Cutris Bradshaw tour Leesville High School. Because so many of the students at LHS are military dependents, our schools function more efficiently due to the interest displayed by officials of school, city, and Fort Polk.
