THE CHIEF 1976 Anacoco High School Anacoco, Louisiana Volume XXVIDedication Byron Elton Farris was born and reared in Anacoco, Louisiana. He attended Anacoco High School until graduation. "Bo” participated in several high school activities includ- ing varsity basketball. Byron entered the U.S. Army in 1944 and served as a member of the 100 Infantry Divi- sion in Europe. He chose the military as a career and faithfully served his country until his retirement in 1966. Mr. Farris returned to Anacoco and was elected as a member of the Vernon Parish School Board, Ward II, in 1970. Since that time, Mr. Farris has expended much time and energy in assisting the schools of Vernon Parish. The Annual Staff, Sponsors, Anacoco High School and Anacoco Community dedicate the 1976 CHIEF to Mr. Farris in appreciation for everything he has done for Anacoco High School. 5Mr. Cunis Bradshaw Spring Semester It is a pleasure to have this opponunity to com- mend you on the fine work you have put fonh to pro- duce this outstanding yearbook. The many events you have recorded here serve as a review of your activities during this past year. In a very shon time this same record of events will become beautiful treasures you have stored in a book of memories. May this school year have provided you with nec- essary skills to become a better citizen of tomorrow but, most of all, may it have instilled in you a great love, for this, your Alma Mater. My very best wishes to each of you for many years of good health and happiness. C. Creighton Owen, Superintendent Vernon Parish Schools Fall Semester My congratulations to the yearbook staff and spon- sors for the efforts they have made in making this publication so informative. You, the students for whom this work is intended, will find its value increases with each passing year! It is a priceless record for your parents and will become the same for you in the next decade. I commend you on your accomplishments and may these experiences bring both satisfaction and honor to you in the years ahead. Sincerely, Cunis Bradshaw Superintendent Retiree Mr. C.

The most ads ever sold provided for the enlarging and new looks in the yearbook. With many tedious hours spent drawing layouts, taking pictures, and writing and typing copy the book began to take place. Motivated by their advi- sors, the 1976 CHIEF staff finally finished their task.

A song is practiced many times before the polished touch is acquired to meet Mr. Dixon’s approval. Only then does the hard work seem worthwhile. 46Special Music Chosen by audition at the beginning of the school year, Special Music students, have rehearsed primarily after school for con- certs, festivals, and rallies held throughout the school year. Quartets, trios, and solos are all to be practiced many times before they are ready for festival. Many hours of hard work and the memory of the success last a lifetime.

They attended every game to support and cheer the team on to victory. They never gave up their support and were pulling the hardest for the Indians, both in victory and defeat. Their time spent in practicing, making posters, and encouraging more school spirit have to class the cheerleaders as the No. 1 GROUP. SHERRY FARRIS, REGINA MARTIN.
