| Marilyn BIRCHENOUGH received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1976 from Nicholls State University, majoring in computer science. For 29 years, she worked as a computer programmer, the field that caught her interest at the tender age of just 12.

And we should be grateful - Marilyn was able to construct our Riverdale web page. Marilyn�s most vivid memories of high school include Daryl Juron singing our class song on Senior Day, our ring dance in the patio, all the bomb scares (remember that!) and being the first class to go from wearing skirts to pants. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
