THE 1968 TIGER Pitkin High School Pitkin, Louisiana Carefully gathered within these pages are our treasured memories of classmates, teachers, activities and all that has been a part of our active school days. We have tried to provide you with a deeper understanding of the true character of Pitkin High School and of the people with whom this book is concerned. Do your best today and you’ll have no regrets tomorrow has been our motto. We have chosen as the theme of our 1968 Tiger the key, not simply a key but a special key. It is the key that closes the door upon ignorance and opens the door upon en- lightenment. Our faculty possesses this key which has opened to us the door to learning and straight thinking. To future graduates, may this present a challenge to do your best work ... never to abandon your search for knowledge and truth. Now we present to you the 1968 Tiger.” May it always bring you the fondest of memories. - Senior Class of 1968 With many a smile But never a tear We hope you’ll agree It’s been a good year.” - E.

In Memory of Most everyone knows someone who stands out in his mem- ory as one to be admired and emulated - one who is a hard worker, who does his own and a share of the hard work of others, who never complains, who actually en- joys hard work, who always sets the finest Christian ex- ample for everyone. Such a person we remember Mrs. Marie Pittman to be, and for this reason we, the Senior Class of Pitkin High School, dedicate this memorial to her for her loyalty, friendliness, and aid to all around her. (Philippians 4:13) MRS. MARIE PITTMAN ... from our Superintendent MR. CURTIS BRADSHAW If you had the opportunity to choose, you could not have selected a more exciting period than we are in now. A very few years ago none of us dreamed that man would circle the earth in 90 minutes, prevent polio, send television pictures through the air or alter the educational processes. We know it is necessary that we change education to keep abreast of the times and meet the demands of our modern society. This yearbook highlights some of the changes, and gives you, the student, a keepsake of the most endearing period of your life. It will be- come more valuable to you in the years ahead. 1 wish to extend warmest personal regards to each person represented in this yearbook. ... from our School Board Member MR. ELMO DAVIS My humble thanks to each student, teacher, employee and patron who has helped make this school year an outstanding one. May I extend to each of you a bright and peaceful future. Thank you for allowing me to be your school board member.

And no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop At late or early hour. To lose one's wealth is sad indeed. To lose one's health is more. To lose one's soul is such a loss That no man can restore. - Selected Tiger Staff ASSIGNMENTS EDITOR--------------Dianne Pinchback CLASSES EDITOR---------------Marvin Haymon SPORTS EDITORS......................Jack Bass Robert Maricle ACTIVITIES EDITOR............Fred Thompson ORGANIZATIONS EDITORS--------Elaine Bamburg Billy Joe Dixon COPY EDITOR.............................Jeanette Clark Junior Assistant-------------Norma McCollough PHOTOGRAPHERS....................Donald Cloud Ruby Dickens Junior Assistant--------------- Linda Perkins BUSINESS MANAGER...........................Riley McCullough Junior Assistant------- - -James Harold Mancil ADVERTISING MANAGERS..............Jerry Deters Pollie Johnson SUBSCRIPTION MANAGERS--------Patricia Lambright Donnie White TREASURER..................................Kathy Pollard ART EDITOR - - - - — - -Linda Thompson Selling ads for 1968 Tiger.
