The 1962 Red Devil Staff Sarah Hoyt, Editor HOME ECONOMICS COTTAGE GYMNASIUM ADMINISTRATION OFFICERS SCHOOL BOARD OFFICIALS Elementary Principal MR. L. REID MIDKIFF Supervisor of Vernon Parish Schools MR. A. L. TEMPLE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE A school's progress is not measured altogether by high quality classroom teaching and the results obtained therefrom. A school annual and other activ- ities well done, are also indicative of pupil growth and progress and their val- ue cannot be overlooked. The annual staff and their assistants are to be congratulated for the skill, the time, and patience they have applied in preparing the 1961-1962 year- book. Sincerely, Dae Hinson Principal SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE I wish to commend the staff and sponsors of Pickering High School for their contributions and effort involved in compiling and editing this yearbook. As you review the many activities in which you have engaged during the academ- ic year, they may point out pleasant memories and visible marks of progress and improvement. It is hoped that this record may serve for many years to verify by print and pictures the experiences that you have enjoyed during this school term and help you find inspiration to continue worthwhile activities. My best wishes go with each one of you represented in this publication. Sincerely, Curtis Bradshaw, Superintendent Vernon Parish Schools MISS CLOMA GERTRUDE BARRON Librarian English MRS.
