Parent Teacher Association Standing: C. Minkiff, W. Creighton, D. Perkins. Seated: Maj. G. Russell, J. Potter. S. Martin The Pickering PTA has tried to realize its mandate of providing students with the opportunity to fulfill their potential through a united effort of parents, teachers, school staff, and community leaders. Our students have provided a common band for direction, inspiration and strength. Over 150 members of Pickering PTA rallied to promote the educational sequence, health, safety, social development, and growth of our students, school and community. What a marvelous spirit of cooperation, dedication and pride. The association has sponsored a music recital, band concert, drug educational program, and a presentation of the culture of Middle East countries. Also, the PTA supported special holiday functions for elementary grades and conducted a success- ful fund drive. As in the past, monies were expended for scholarships, school improvements and supported school - sponsored organizations. Many wonderful opportunities exist for Pickering School and its development wil continue to require support from all of us. I, along with the PTA officers, feel proud and honored to have served during the 1976-77 school year. Our prayers and support will continue as Pickering strives toward new horizons. rj C , K. Gerald E. Russell President Pickering School PTA

EDITOR'S MESSAGE Being editor of the 1977 Red Devil has been a great experience. I have learned the real meaning of hard work, an have enjoyed the opportunity to work with the people of our staff. This has given me a better understanding of the co-operation it takes to compile this book. But the one great lesson I learned was how it feels to know that in 10. 15, or 25 years we can all look back and say, We made this 1977 yearbook. The feeling of satisfaction is something to be proud of. To all the members of this 1977 Annual Staff, I give my thanks for much hard work, and to the sponsor, Mrs. Pelt, my appreciaton for time and patience. Tammy Cleveland, Editor 2 Ray Royalty, Assistant Editor, and I check pictures against photo log.

Dedication Mr. John C. Littleton has taught for over 19 years. So faithful was he, that he returned to Pickering High School after graduating from here in 1944 and after successfully seeking a B.A. Degree from McNeese St. University. Through his faithful dedication to a teaching career, many young people have been influenced to better themselves and are grateful to such a man. Mr. Littleton is presently the pastor of Canaan Baptist Church. He is married to the former Faye Haymon. They are the proud parents of four boys, two who are graduates of Pickering High School and two who are still attending school. Mr. Littleton is also a grandfather of two grandchildren. The students and the community have considered it a pleasure to know him.
