WILLIAMS STAFF AT WORK Mickey and Sharon assign pages Think we'll meet our deadline? 3 Ronnie Carlson, business manager DEDICATED To Mr. Robert Simkins, we the Rodeo Staff of 1961 dedicate this yearbook. To those of us who have come under his supervision, he has been more than a teacher. He has been our friend and companion. We shall never forget the many times he has devoted his evenings to help us meet that deadline on the Panther Parade, and his sincere interest in our progress. His behind the scene” work did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Because he is leaving, as we are, at the end of the year, this is our last way, and our only way to say Thank-you . . . thank-you . . . 5 SUPERINTENDENT ERICK K.
