T HE . . . who are seldom heard of or seen but who have become a genuine part of Menard High School, we pay tribute here with deep sincerity and gratitude. This silent but active group composed of Mr. Quinton Barnidge, Mr. Mike Betar, Mr. M. J. Bize, Mr. Jules Boniol, Mr. J. C. Slim Chenevert, Mr. A. M. Cicardo, Mr. Sam Damico, Mr. Robert Smith, Mr. Douglas Van- dersypen, Mr. Archie Villard, and Mr. Leroy Villard, have held fund raising activities throughout the year for the benefit of the school. Better known as the Alumni Association's 6'Special Events Committee they have put their all into Menard and asked nothing in return. It is, then, with great pride and gratitude that we dedicate this 1965 issue of the MENARDIAN to the Special Events Committee. May God bless and keep them with us for many years to come.

E? if-I K , 25 -wfgzilggg Over the past years, lVlenard's campus has de- veloped into an ideal habitat for all the activities which take place throughout the year. The school cafeteria which provides many good meals for the famished students, also serves as a suitable meeting place for the Motheras Club and other organizations. Our so-called rec hall, which consists chiefly of the canteen, laundry, water fountains, and vend- ing machines, proves itself to be most appreciated on cold winter days. Many handball games are thoroughly enjoyed by both students and faculty and the volleyball and basketball courts serve as year-round entertainment for the student. At the close of day the boarders report to the dormitory where they rest in preparation for another day's work. Of course, the main building consists primarily of classrooms, some of which include the Typing room and the Biology and Chemistry Lab. Also the library, Brothers' residence, and the school office combine to form the center of school life. 8 Development of mind and body is the objective achieved by our modern system of education. A capable faculty is at the core of any adequate high school curriculum. The ability to capture the stu- dents' interests and to hold them is a great asset. The faculty member spends his entire career giving of himself to his students and his school. In the classroom, his ability to relate his knowl- edge and to interpret his experience to the student. Through his ability to guide, he hopes to help stu- dents grow toward maturity. He also shows his ability by supporting Menard High School teams and activities, and by directing his extracurriculuin with enthusiasm. But above all, his ability enables him to offer friendship to the students, thus helping to create an atmosphere of warmth and security. It is the faculty who puts into the educational building block of Menard High School his ability to make it not just a building but an edifice of learning. FACULTY Administration Sets MONSIGNOR H. CLINTON TEACLE Monsignor Teacle is the superintendent of educa- tion for the diocese of Alexandria. He is well aware of all the modern techniques of teaching and sets goals to be achieved by the faculty. His help goes not only to the faculty, but through them, to the individual Menard student. Monsignor is a graduate of Notre Dame Univer- sity and is notable for his intelligence and reserved method of instructing. As superintendent of educa- tion the needs of the students and faculty are of first importance to him. MOST REVEREND CHARLES P. GRECO, D.D. Though the Bishop has an active part in the Vatican Council, he has kept the Menard students well-informed of their spiritual and moral needs. Probably the greatest interest is shown in his plan for the new Catholic High School, which is under construction. He has done all in his power to fulfill the dream of the new Catholic High School for the students. His great wisdom and experience is shown at the Ecumenical Council which he attends along with the numerous association meetings concerning Church busi- ness. His attendance at these sessions has been greatly responsible for the information to the whole diocese, including and especially to Menard. fx .

The purpose underlieing our broad curriculum is to instill in us a desire for knowledge that will fol- low us through future education, into future ca- reers, and into our everyday lives. ln our search for knowledge the classroom is our laboratory, teachers, our guidesg and our own inquisitiveness, our inspiration. It is this inquisi- tiveness that leads us to seek additional knowledge through outside reading and study, and to explore the uwlhyisn behind principles. We recognized, in plowing through the four year academic program of high school study at MHS, the minute size of our limited information in comparison to the vastness of man's learning. Through our steady progress we soon see the actual proof of the axiom Wllhe desire for knowledge in- creases ever with the acquisition of itf' It is the academic curriculum that shows the worth of a school-its worth in uquenchingv the studentis thirst for knowledge. s ,,,,.,.,r.w..,.... so P ss?

Menard's first year religion course gives a basis for good Catholic living and prepares the stu- dent for a further development in the following year's Religion courses. During the Sophomore year it is explained how the sacraments and commandments should be used to help us live better Christian lives. Emphasis is hased mainly on the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, in Menardls junior year. It also gives the student a more detailed ex- planation of how the Bible can be used in our daily lives. Through the use of syllogisms the Seniors prove Godis existence by the use of reason. Also in the Senior course, Father Damiens instructs the Senior student in a preparation course for marriage. Religion is taught not as a science or a lan- guage hut rather as a personal Contact with God.. Whether he is an engineer, doctor, or teacher, he will find that his religion course at MHS has laid down moral standards every Catholic man should have.

The faculty feels that without a broad knowl- edge of English, the student can not fully express him- self in other subjects. This makes English one of the most important subjects at Menard. Equipping the student with the ability to convey his ideas efficiently is the aim of the grammar course. The grammar course puts the accent on clarity in writing and speech. Word Power was introduced last year not only to broaden the students' vocabulary, but also to develop an interesting way to express one's views. Another function of the Word Power course is to strengthen spelling, and to secure accuracy in pronunciation. Literature, the works of other English masters, is a guide to the student in his own creative writing. In the Summer reading program the student re- tains an acquaintance with authors and their works and continues to build on the foundation laid during the school year. ! I 3, . . . 7 A M.-f .

J' Pat simpler, Floyd London, Jolm Montgomery take advantage of Mt-nard's 4,500 Menard offers to the student a full four years' study of scientific phenomenons. As a Freshman, he goes into the study of life itself with Biology. This course covers the two biological fields: botany. the study of the plants and their structure. and Zoology. the study of all animal groups from the one celled amoeba to the most complex of all be- ings-man. General Science is taken in the Sophomore Business course. It includes the study of natural phenomenon and highlights of biology. chemistry. and physics. Physics and Chemistry are studied by the Menard Junior and Senior students. With Chemistry comes the study of matter, elements, compound and mixture. By applying the uscientific Meth- odf, students are able to see the uhowv and Hwhyw behind chemical changes in nature and in the test tube. Investigation of the laws, matter, and energy in- volved in the field of Physics, enables the Menard Junior and Senior not only to learn how to predict the phenomenon which takes place, but also how to control some of them. Through the study of science at Menard, new and hid- den secrets are revealed which may be put to practical usage in everyday life. if Jimmie Dore finds that his object is the one contain- ing radioactive material, as Mr. John 0'Brien points out with the Geiger-Muller counter.

Freshmen were faced with a whole new concept of math, in which they learned the reason behind the opera- tions that are performed in Algebra I. Sophomores found the traditional proving of triangles congruent and similar operations no easy task as they tackled Plane Geometry and an introduction to Solid Ce- ometry. Juniors were also exposed to the new math as they went into a more detailed study of algebra. ln addition to their study of algebra, the Juniors took a course to prepare them for next yearis trigonometry. Seniors, in the final step of their preparation for col- lege in the field of mathematics, concentrated on trigonom- etry, an introduction to Calculus, and other advanced the- ories. It is quite apparent that by the interest and enthusiasm shown in the courses offered in mathematics that students realize the importance of a sound understanding of the mathematical sciences in the present day world. In the Sophomore Academic Class, the student is first introduced to the mechanics of Plane and Solid Geometry. He soon learns the importance of the ruler, compass, and prutructor as well as their function. Introduced at Fresh Level Steve IJ'Angt-ln, in the study of Geometry struggles on one of the complicated progres sions.

Our democratic form of government is one of the most highly complex systems of its kind. In order for the Menardian to gain sufficient knowl- edge of this system, he is offered a course in Civics to attempt to interpret its liasic form. World History is the study of politics, wars. and social standards, dating hack to the time that dinosaurs roamed the earth. It also gives views of the problems faced hy all ages and how they were handled. Seniors at Menard take a combined American History and required Communism Course. They take a look at the political, social, and economic life of the United States and how it developed since H92. The Communism Course gives a detailed outlook on International Communism and the spread of the Marxist ideas. Be it ancient Viforld History or a modern prolilem, the study of the social science has no equal in teaching. understanding, and appreciation. By seeing the mistakes of others, future citizens may avoid these same mistakes. Studying oneis true American heritage is a rich and rewarding experience. The study of the government is also included in social studies. .loe Tullier, in the study of American llistory, dia grams u chart of tht- leaders and parties of the opposing. forces of the Civil War. i .A Steve D'Angelo translates a first year Latin sent:-ncc.

Menard students get their first formal course in Latin as sophomores. ln this course they learn the basic rules of pronunciation, syllahication, de- Clension, and conjugation. Through short stories written in Latin, they also learn a few things about Roman life. Juniors at Menard study Latin ll. in which they rexiew the fundamentals they learned the pre- vious year and then discover a few more. The ma- jor portion of second year Latin, however, is de- voted to gaining greater fluency in reading and speaking the language. This is done hy means of excerpts from the writings of Caesar and other famous Roman authors. These two years of Latin often prove to he of great value to students in later years. They find that the study of that ancient language makes the un- derstanding of English grammar much easier. They also find that the learning of such languages as Spanish, Italian, and French is made much simpler hy this course in Latin. 'S ts. LATIN MEDAL WINNERS Jeff Chicola and Paul Ha- worth.

In the Sophomore year those who take the course acquire a knowledge of general business. This course covers a broad areag including ec- onomics, accounting, business management, and banking. Through this three year course, the student learns the operation andimechanics of the essential tools of the business world. These include the type- writer, adding machines, ledgers, and computers. As the student progresses in this course, he masters more complex subjects. The Seniors take up Business Law, Bookkeeping, and Economics. This course prepares students for the compli- cated legal aspect of the business world.

Every student is offered a basic health and hygiene course. This includes not only calisthenics and participation in intramural athletics but also a health and safety class once a week. In one sense the Physical Education course at Menard keeps its students in top condition as can be seen in the 85 perfect attendance certificates that were awarded to last year's underclassmen. Intramural athletics teach Menard students the basic rules of football, basketball and volleyball. An accredited calisthenics course accompanies the intramural activities. All combine to produce a well-rounded physical education program as prescribed by the late Presi- dent Kennedy's Physical Fitness Program as well as by the new standards of the state of Louisiana.

Slowly from the earliest days of the Freshman year to the last precious weeks of the Senior year, there grows among the students and classes a finn bond of fellowship and loyalty. At first the fresh- man is a stranger in a vast crowd, but gradually he is drawn to one common bond-Menard High School and all its activities. ln the tumultous shouts that rise as though from one throat during an exciting game and among the countless heads bent over books in prepara- tion for exams, there exists a sense of fellowship so intense that it is almost tangible. Throughout the year it has strengthened by common moments of exultation and heartbreak-seasoned and flav- ored by homework assignments, hard-fought games, class projects, proms and dances, and out-of-town j aunts to games and contests. Synonymous with the profound pride in Me- nard High School and the constant loyalty to every- thing connected with it, fellowship among the stu- dents and faculty is ever evident in the classroom as well as in the extracurriculum activities. The stu- dents at MHS always enjoy themselves the most when they are together. Thus it is fellowship that has emerged steadfast and enduring, a symbol of every classes' shared memories. ff 'K t H' t All 3 T??2?5?itftt1?Ft't ' V' ,... .. . , 'ft at Seniors Form Firm In the four years that the Class of '65 has been at MHS, they have achieved the highest form of fellow- ship and loyalty to the school. This hond of fellowship had been established in the class liy everyone doing their share of the work together with each performing to his liest capability. In doing this the class achieved individual honors and brought honor and respect to Menard. Through this bond of fellowship they learned the true meaning of teamwork and what it can accom- plish. Teamwork, as the Seniors learned during their high school career, achieves more than individual ef- forts. Vllorking as a unit, the Seniois have actively par- ticipated in all activities sponsored hy the school. Finally as the end of the long awaited arrives they put out their best realizing that their high school ca- reers are coming to a close and another class will take their place in leading the school in loyalty, in teamwork . . . in fellowship. 12-A Class Officers: Secretary, Buddy Davidg Daniel Andries Treasurer, Mike LaBordeg President, Ellis Saybeg Fdward Andrieg Vicv4Presidcnt, Bruce Davis.

Witli this loyalty and fellowship he has a deeper sense of patriotism to MHS and hegins' to put his udrivev and initiative into the sehool's activities. His face has become familiar, his actions are form- ing with the Sophomore class unit instead of as an in- dividual, and added to this new outlook he finds chal- lenging responsibilities during his daily routine. The Sophomore now hegins to capture a loftier perch with each deserved achievement, and a little greater knowl- edge with each failure.

Freshmen in this year of introduction to MHS take Algebra I, Religion l, English l, Biology, and Civics.

' ii MHS provides the major ingredient that makes a club or elass push ahead -leadership. The proper use of this ingredient is, however, left up to us, the students of Menard High School. Our leadership. Colnlwined with a toueh of initiutive and originality was the tool that took advantage of all the opportunities that high school provided. From working on a class project to com- piling data for a committee report for a Club, our class' and elubs' leadership has instilled in us the initiative to help us try not only to make the grudei' hut also to find in every proiert a point of spevial value. Many of us showed our leadership in forming new clubs or expanding the avtivities of old ones. Without leadership, the initiative and originality of a clulm or class would die. Our leadership has helped us get through lengthy projects and many extraeurricula duties which we look hack on with pride and ueoolnplishment at the yez1r's end.

Projects To guide the spiritual life of the student body is the aim of the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart at Menard. The Confraternity succeeds in its purpose only through the work of its members, whose dedication acts ' as a boon for the rest of the school. Members achieve their aim by the many activities which they sponsor. Activities in their program include First Friday devotions, devotion to Our Lady particularly in May and October, aid to home and foreign missions and student prayer assemblies, such as the 'living Rosaryn. Under the direction of Brother Elbert SC., the organization has undertaken such projects as erecting a Christmas Crib in front of the school, baskets for the poor and visits to the ill and aged. This organization has also combined with the Providence Sodality to spon- sor jointly the Thanksgiving Service, the first combined nNeWw Mass for the student bodies, the May Procession, and Christmas Carolling. - f Jointly sponsored by thc Confraternity and Sodality, the Living Rosary is presented by the students of Menard and Providence. ll iw .... - P1 SQUADS ONE AND TWO: BOTTOM ROW: Marcie Mary- antl Liz fllrtrvanrn-V--Squatl Captains.

Under the gzuiflance of Nliss Alma Trevino, the boosters were out in full force at all the games to aclrl enthusiasm and spirit to the occasion. To become a booster a girl must flcvote one year to helping with the concessions. This generally consists of selling refreshments at the home football games.

Menardis Key Club, being a service organization, has as its objective first to serve the schoolfand second- ly to serve the community. Itis prime objective is boosting the spirit during the sports seasons. This is done through posters, pep rallies, and their fighting example. Under the direction of Brother Bennet, SC., its officers, Ellis Saybe, Mike Gremillion, ,limmie Gabour, and Mike Geiger have been leaders in all activities. To offset the expenses of its biggest event, the Sweetheart Dance, they yearly sponsor the Most Hand- some and Ugly Contest, with the proceeds going to the Doll and Toy Fund. Climaxing its year's activities is the Sweetheart Dance. This dance is perhaps the largest and best that Menard puts on. The festivities began at 8200 BM. when the uCapris77 started Hshaking it upll. The climax was reached when the Sweetheart of 1965, Miss Linda Cremillion, was crowned. Completing her court was the Maid of Honor, Miss Ann Landry.

At this banquet the outstanding players in baseball, basketball, football, and track are honored and trophies, plaques, and certifi- cates are presented to them. The main objective of the Association is rais- ing money, primarily with the solicitation of quar- terback club members, to aid the schoolis athletic program. This year new uniforms for the basketball team were purchased. Although Menard has a new bus, there remains a considerable balance due on it. The Athletic Association has taken full charge of this debt. Dedicated to furthering the HEagles name on the athletic field, the Association is truly a Hserv- ice organization. Mr. Jesse Lohman presents a bouquet of roses to the '64 Homecoming Queen, Miss Bobbie Pacholik, as her father looks on. Keeping Menard graduates up-to-date on the activities of Menard is the main objective of the Alumni Association. Meeting monthly, they talk over problems and plan projects to aid the school. Annually they sponsor the gala Homecoming events. The colossal pep parade, which this year had over 50 entries, opened the festivities. Joe Tul- lier and Pat Juneau were awarded fifteen dollars for the best decorated car. On Homecoming night, Mr. Jesse C. Lohman crowned.

The first District Championship was in Baseball with Menard defeating Leesville to con- tinue its long line of District victories in this sport. In Football it was keyed off by the 33 to 6 victory giving Menard its first District Championship in this sport. Sportsmanship, backed up by the spontaneous exuberance and Eagle Spirit, was present in every sport, every game, every inning and quarter. Whether on the gridiron, court, diamond, or field, whether in Football, Baseball, Basketball, or Track, Sportsmanship was present. It welded players and Eagle fans into a force that made the stand at the goal line, the 50 yaro sprint, the sacrifice bunt, the quarter court shot that won the game. This spirit is the tenacity that fights against odds-the humility that crowns a victory, the determination in the face of defeat. Eagle spirit gave heart to the cheerleaders and fans to urge the team on. Yelling and screaming, everyone is on the edge of his seat. As the game unfolds, tense moments of play add fervor to the fans. Seconds tick by-5 . . ., 4 . . ., 3 . . ., 2 . . ., 1 . . ., and it's all over, the shouting, swarming crowds empty the stands. But the Sportsmanship, the Eagle Spirit, ling- ers after the last play, a part of past, present, and future. FOOTBALL 765 Vifrapping up the football season as one of the top four teams in state AA, the Eagles finished with laurels, a wreath, and a crown. lraurels went to the Menard Eagles, Tackle George Simms and Fullback Mike Cre- million who were named to the first and second all-State teams respectively. The all-Southwest team had Bob McGlothlin and Joe Simms on it While Tom Mathews represented Menard on the third. Coach Bob Mahfouz received the wreath when he was named AA Coach-of-the-Year by the Louisiana Sportswriters Association. Topping off the Eagles many honors was the crown, the District -l-AA Championship, which belonged not only to the team, who fought for it on the grids, but also to Bob Mahfouz. Head Coach, and his assistants, Jerry Lavespere, Bill Hawkins, and Louis Crenshaw. This football season will be valuable for the ex- perience gained which will lead to perhaps another Dis- trict Crown and possibly a state title in the near future. Menard finished the season with an impressive 10-3 slate-5-0 in district, 3-2 in non-district, and 2-1 in the playoffs. enarcl Coach Mahfouz, State AA Coach of the Year and George Simms, State AA First Team Tackle, read about these ratings by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.

But in the last thirty seconds of the third quarter a four yard run by Pat Bell put the Eagles on the scoreboard. Two minutes showed on the fourth quarter clock when Mike Gremillion started his nineteen yard run which gave the Eags six more points. It wasn't until the last few seconds of the game, however, that the Eagles got off their most beautiful run. With the Eagles in control of the ball near the forty-yard line and the final whistle approaching, a beautiful pass from Paul Smith to fullback Bill Hayne set up the latter for a forty- one yard run to end the game-the ebuillient elev- en's' first victory over the Panthers in six matches. MENARD 44 TIOGA 6 First period plays by the Eagles rolled up twenty-five points against Tioga. Tom Mathews started the ball rolling with a sixteen yard TD. Minutes later a recovered Tioga fumble and a fif- teen yard penalty put Menard on the ten yard line with Bruce Davis making the TD. Pat Bell later made a forty yard run to the goals, shortly fol- lowed by Tom Mathews who carried it 83 'yards for a TD. During the second period the scoring started with Bill Hayne taking it over from the one. Later the Eags lost the ball to the Indian offense but regained possession of the ball. Paul Smith layed an end zone pass across to Tim Crowley but his fum- ble cost the Eagles the six points. Taking the kickoff in the second half the Eagles marched the ball 53 yards with Mike Gre- million carrying it, making the 13 yard TD. It was during this quarter that Tioga made its single touchdown. Paul Smithis pass to Pat Bell, who carried it 35 yards, gave Menard its fourth quarter TD.

Eagle Eleven Gets MENARD 0 PINEVILLE 14 In eight years of play no Menard team has scored a victory against a Reb team. Both the Eagles and the Rebels played well but after the first quarter the Eagles lost their form and it was the Rebs game from there on. A 37 yard punt re- tum by Danny McGraw gave Pineville its first score. Later the Eagle defense contained a Reb threat on the 2 yard line. But a 78 yard run by the Rebels in the second quarter and another play by Alsup put the Pineville team on the scoreboard again. Eagle defense held back Rebel advances several times and the Eagles threatened to score late in the game by carrying the ball through the Rebel lines 26 yards in three plays to the Reb 29. Off to a Good Start MENARD 20 MARKSVILLE O Though the first period was scoreless, this ball game belonged to the Eagles from the start. The Tigers never threatened to score during the entire game and made it into the Eagles' nest only twice During the second period the Eagles carried the ball from the thirty-two yard line to the seven, but a strong Tiger defense held back the scoring. The Eagle defense let the Tigers get only to the 13 yard line before taking over. Three plays later Bruce Davis carried it from the one to get the Eags on their way. Later in the period the Eagle offense, with fifty seconds left on the clock, crossed the goal line for another six points. Getting the kickoff in the second half, it took the Eagles only four plays to show their strength, with Mike Gremillion running the final twelve yards. Later in the quarter the Eagles marched toward the goal line, but the Tiger,s defense tight- ened and the TD failed to materialize.

MENARD 7 FERRIDAY 6 Still going strong in their bid for the district championship, the Eagles ran a close one with the Ferriday Bulldogs and were saved from defeat by an extra point kick by Pat Bell in the first quarter. Camille Giordano ran in the touchdown from the five in that quarter, and at the end of the half, after the Dogs had made their touchdown in the second quarter, the Eagles held a slim one point lead over Ferriday. With the second half kickoff the tension, both in the stands and on the field, increased as every- one wondered if the Eagles could hold their lead with Fullback Mike Gremillion and Quarterback Bruce Davis out of the game with injuries. But the Eagles held. Neither team made a score during the second half and the game ended as the Eag's closest victory of the season. Eagles Are Undefeated in District MENARD 16 NAT CHITOCHES 13 Many times it is said that a free week before a game is to a teamls advantage, but the Eagles, playing after an open date, almost went down to the Red Devils who outplayed them during the second half. The Eagles went to the dressing room at half time with a comfortable 16-0 lead. During the first half a punt by Bob McGlothlin put the Eagles ahead 2-0. Later on in that period it took the Eagles only two plays to gain 34 yards, and a 27 yard touchdown run by Tom Mathews put another six points on the Eagle scoreboard. Bruce Davis ran two yards for the second touchdown to give the Eagles their 16-0 lead at the half. During the second half the Red Devils tore down the Eagle defenses, scoring two TD's during the third quarter. Menard again threatened to score and found themselves on the one yard line as the final whistle blew. The Eagles were still on their way to District. Bruce Davis C-755117 to Jimmy Dougherty 1994861 gives the Eagles another first down in the Pineville game. MENARD 31 LEESVILLE 6 Bring On The Eaglesi' was the Leesville bat- tilt. 4 V p it W if tle cry and so they came, and when it was all over, wi 3 g .V i, p the Victor's crown, a District championship, be- longed to the Eagles.'The Eags took the opening kickoff and, though they didn't score, showed that they had the superior team. When the final statistics were compiled they showed Menard had gained 236 yards while the Wampus Cats had only 90. i swf, In the second quarter Bruce Davis got the aj 9 Eagle's ball rolling with a touchdown from the one- yard line. Later a fumble recovered by Paul Smith on the 8 put another six feathers in the Eagle's scoring cap. ln the third quarter Mike Gremillion made two touchdowns, one on a 48 yard run and another from the four where Paul Smith had brought it after recovering his second fumble. The Wampus Cats made their only touchdown in this quarter. The final TD was made by Camille Gior- dano in the fourth period on a four yard run, and the Eagles went home with their first District Championship since 1938. Menard's defensive unit breaks through again to knock Pine- ville's offensive eleven for another loss. Play MENARD 31 JENA 6 With a District Championship under their belts the Eagles traveled to Jena to make their claim to the District Crown indisputable. The Eagles re- ceived the opening kickoff and m'arched 59 yards in six plays. Mike Gremillion carried over from the two. Later Pat Bell kicked, from the 29 yard line, what many believe was Menard's first field goal in many years. Tom Mathews capped off the first quarter Eagle-style with a 90 yard touchdown. During the first twelve minutes of play the Eags scored 17 points. A touchdown pass from Bruce Davis set up Mike Gremillion for a fifty yard run to the end zone in the second quarter. Third quarter action failed to give either team any additional TD's. Tim Crowley, early in the fourth'quarter, with Jena players hot on his heels, gave the Eagles another six points with a 73 yard run. During the fourth quarter the Giants got off their only successful attack. The Eagles went home with their first perfect slate in District play in the schoolis football history. Tim Crowley 14-4-33, with the aid of a covey of Eagles goes around the end to give Menard a needed first down in the rgeular season game with Central. MENARD 7 CENTRAL 20 With a key man like your quarterback out of the game it can be a tough one, and with Bruce Davis sitting this one out with injuries the Eagles had a hard game. Menard's only touchdown came in the last quarter with 1:33 seconds left on the clock. Tim Crowley threw a beautiful 31 yard pass to Pat Bell who carried it over and thus prevented a complete shutout by the Wildcats. But even with the score as lopsided as it was, the statistics showed the Eags right on top of the Cats. But it's on the scoreboard that you win a game like this. The Eagles played a fine game, even with Fullback Mike Gremillion being swamped on nearly every play by Central rushers. Determination - Leads Eagles MENARD 19 VILLE PLATTE 0 Defense was the keynote of the Eagles' last scheduled game of the season. Bruce Davis, quarter- back, sat out the game out with injuries he suffered two weeks previous. The first half of the game was scoreless, with neither team making any strong showing on the grid. For most of the third quarter it looked as if the game would end in a deadlock. But with a punt blocked by Bob McGlothlin and a recovery by Grady Gravel the Eagles took control of the ball late in the third quarter on the one yard line. Pat Bell carried the ball over and set the Eagles up for their victory. Only minutes later another fumble was forced on Ville Platte, this time by George Simms. Jimmie Dougherty recovered the ball at the five and Mike Gremillion went over this time, giv- ing the Eags a 12-0 lead. Fourth quarter action brought still another fumble recovery by the Eagles, this time on the twenty-six yard line. Five plays later Tim Crowley carried over with 59 seconds left in the game. BI-DISTRICT MENARD 7 JENNINGS 0 Muddy fields and rainy nights may make exciting times for the spectator, but theylre murder on the football player. The Eagles picked up the ball on the kickoff. Even though it was muddy the Eags pushed the Bulldogs back across the field and down to the end zone where Bruce Davis carried the ball over the goals for the only TD of the evening. Pat Bell kicked the extra point, giving the Eagles a 7-0 lead after the kickoff. After that it seemed as if the weather and the Eagle victory had been syncronized because the rains started to come down, turning the field at Bolton stadium into a virtual lake. Every effort by the Bulldogs to score was thwarted by the rains and a strong Eagle defense. This game, which was dedicated by the football players to Brother Cos- mas placed the Eagles in the quarter finals and was a fitting tribute to Menard's principal.

Coach Bob Mahfouz found this out as his Eagles presented him a birthday victory over the Lumberjack's in one that almost '4wasn't theirsf' The first half was scoreless, but Springhill held the edge in first downs. Springhill took the second half kickoff and marched tothe goal. Later in the third quarter Bob lVlcGl0thlin punted the ball dead on the Spring- hill three and with the recovery of a fumble, Tim Crowley brought the ball through for a tying score. Bruce Davis, later in the third quarter, brought the Eags to a 13-7 lead. But the most electrifying moment of the game came during the final few seconds. After Springhill had brought the ball to the five yard line George Simms, who had been wrecking the Lumberjacks' offensive plays all night, thrtew Springhill back for an, eleven yard loss followed by Grady Gravel throwing a four yard loss. The next play brought a pass from Addison to Cain. But Paul Smith popped up and intercepted the ball almost a split second before it would have been in the hands of Cain.

The Eagles, traveling to Baton Rouge and hoping to avenge their earlier loss to Central found themselves in a hole early in the ball game and even though they fought harder than they had fought before, they couldn,t come out on top. Central touchdowns seemed to follow in suc- cession and the hard fighting Eagle defense, so spectacular in earlier games, couldnit put up any sort of blockade to subdue the Wildcat's onslaught. Several times the Menard defense held the Cats within the fifteen before they could make a touch- down. The Eagles went, down, but no one who was there will let you think that they didn't go down fighting. They had won like champions and even in defeat they were champions.

SEASON AT A GLANCE Through hard work and determination Men- ard's hustling cagers, picked as a definite underdog in District 3-AA, turned in a remarkable perform- ance and finished second to land fl' berth in the state playoffs. The team's berth resulted as Jerry Lavespere's Eagles, forced into a best two out of three sub- district playoff series with Leesville, swept through with scores of -'18-fl-2 and 39-33. With a week's preparation, Coach and his charges entered the playoffs with high hopes. As unimpressive as the team7s record was, 10- 16, does not do justice to their fine effort Joel Petrus and Frank Mclder were standouts as they led the Eagles in scoring while Petrus and Bill Basco were the Eagles' most consistent rebounders.

The Eagles rolled over their first eight opponents with ease, including a victory over district rival Tioga. Leesville was pitted against the,Eagles in the ninth game of the season. It was during this district game that the Eagles suffered their first loss by a close 9-8 score. With revenge on their minds, the Eagles rolled up their ninth win by a 15-2 count. Tioga was the last district game on the schedule. Menard easily overcame the weaker Indians and captured the district crown. From this point the Eagles advanced to the play- offs. Their first opponent, Opelousas, offered little re- sistance to the powerful Eagles with Menard winning the first two games of a best two-out-of-three series, and the Eagles advanced to the semi-finals. Jesuit was the Eagles semi-finals opponent. Riding on a four game winning streak, the Eagles scored a victory in the first game but later lost a double header to the Shreveport team. This final loss ended the Eagles' dreams of a state championship. BASEBALL SCOREBOX MEN ARD OPPONENT 8 ........ Boyce . ........... 1 10 ........ AIC ..... . . 0 5 ........

Eagles Add Another District Feather to Crown DISTRICT lVIenard's district schedule opened against the Tioga Indians. The Eagles were victorious with a 2-0 shutout pitched by Harry Wilmore. Single runs came to the Eagles in the first and fifth innings. Leesville was the next team to challenge the Eagles' spotless record. By the fourth inning the Eagles had seemingly salted away the game with a big 8-3 lead. However, the Cats were not to be denied as they rallied in the fifth and sixth innings to take home a well earned 9-8 victory. Revenge was the order of the day as the Eagles again met the Cats in a district tilt. Again the Eagles built up an early lead and this time never released it. By the third inning the lead was an insurmountable 12-2. Menard closed its district schedule with a boom- ing 16-O triumph over the Tioga Indians. Harry Wilmore pitched a no hitter, allowing only three Indians to reach base, two on walks and one on an error. With this victory under their belts and the district title clinched the Eagles prepared for the tough state playoffs ahead. Johnnie Hesni races against the ball to bring in another run against Boyce. I09 BI-DISTRICT Both Menard and Opelousas have, over past years, made a habit of meeting each other in the state playoffs for baseball. This year marked the sixth straight year that both teams have rrfet in a playoff clash. The Eagles took the first two games of the best two-of-three tilt, both in shut-outs, to win the right to advance to the state semi-finals. Harry Vlfilmore pitched for the Eags and allowed only three singles, retiring the first ten Opelousas batters. Menards, defense was the keynote of this first game. The Eagles had men on base during every inning except two with their only run com- ing in the fifth, by Bob McClothlin. Another run was threatened in the sixth but a tight Opelousas defense quelled the threat. With the second game of the series came an- other shut-out by the Eagles, which appeared to be nothing short of a slaughter. Doug Giles pitched the 9-0 no-hitter. This, coupled with the superb performance of Bob lVlcGlothlin at the plate, won the game for the Eagles. McGlothlin came out with three runs batted in, two singles and a run of his own to pace the Eagle onslaught. Stretches like this by Steve Boniol helped insure the Eagle victory over Opelousas. M1 Coach Jerry Lavespere quietly studies the per- formance of his team from the dugout. 1 A bunt by Johnny Hesni sets up the Eagles for a victory over Tioga. Double-Header Knocks Eags Out of State Running SEMI-FINALS Menard's advancement into the semi-finals brought to Bringhurst Park the largest crowds to see a baseball game in Alexandria in many years. Estimates went as high as 1200 for the single game. The Eagles, first hit was a single by Harry Wilmore in the fourth inning. Jesuit's Blue Flyers led 4-0 at the start of the game but the Eags pulled up from behind, mostly on walks, and took away the lead in the fourth and held it for the rest of the game for a 7-4 win.' Traveling to Shreveport for the second and third games the Eagles were faced with a double header in the Flyers, home park. It was here that the Eagles lost out on their chance for another state championship, losing both games to the ,lesuit Nine. Menard took a 2-0 lead but sacrificed it early in the game. In the third game the Eagles, playing one-to-one with the Flyers, lost no time in getting the edge. The Eagle lead lasted until the fifth inning when Jesuit scored five runs and wrestled the ball game from the Eagles. For the rest of the game the Eags were held at bay by George Restovitchss curve ball. A slide by Bruce Davis in the Boyce game adds another point to the Eagles' slate. TRACK ,611 Track in '6-'li was a time of rebuilding. Most of Coach Bob Mahfouz' cindermen were Juniors, thus giv- ing them a year more of eligibility. Though no Eagles, track team has ever been exceptional, last year,s showed much promise and have encouraged all of us to look forward to the 765 track season. Only one Eagle track team reached state. That team, the 440 relay, was composed of Billy Flynn, Bruce Davis, Art Visconte, and Tom Mathews. An ankle in- jury which Bruce Davis received in a baseball game forced Coach Bob Mahfouz to seek out a replacement. The team, however, failed to place at state. Davis, along with Art Visconte, also made ex- cellent showings in the broadjump and in the hop-step jump. Other cindcrmen included George and Joe Simms on the shotput, Richard Hamback and Robert Ball on the javelin, and Jim Vllolf on discus. Also included among the runners on the Eagle team were Ray Mich- iels, Richard Mayeaux, Paul Haworth, and Rodney Johnson.

Everyone was truly ready for a victory over Marksville and were not disappointed. This game was the climax of a week long preparation. Key Clubers sponsored a poster contest to start the ball rolling. Each class was to enter its best poster, showing in some way or other the Eagle- Tiger clash. Blase DiStefano of l2A, placed first in the competition. With the whole school putting their work into posters the Rec hall received a fresh coat of anti-Tiger wallpaper. Along with the poster contest was a week of whimsical pep rallies climaxed by a combined Men- ard-Providence Pep Rally at Bringhurst Park. Each class of the Eagle's Roost performed a skit de- picting the up-coming game. Friday afternoon was the occasion of the Homecoming Parade. This two mile-long parade provided keen competition for all. Those who placed were Joe Tullier aided by Pat Juneau of 12A who captured the lst place cash award fol- lowed Maurice Curcio and Blase DiStefano also of l2A in 2nd place. Third place went to Gary Mathews of l0A. Pat Juneau and Joe Tullier proudly pose beside their lst place entry in the Homecoming Parade.

Queen Bobbie Racholik was officially crowned in the midst of her court composed of Renee Hilton, princessg Carol Vanhoof, duchessg Sandra Coleman, countessg and Linda Boudreaux, maid of honor. To the pleasure of Queen Bobbie and her court the boosters of Providence went through their drill and formation routine at half-time. Topping the festivities was a 20-0 victory over the Tiger purple and gold which added to the glee of all the Screaming Eagles . The game was described as belonging to the Eagles the moment it started. With this sort of spirit backing the Eagles, they plunged head-on into the unsuspect- ing Tigers. Crowning the week long barrage of events was the annual Homecoming Dance held at the Alexan- dria Convention Hall.

This ye-ar's Anniversary Ball was highlighted by the remembrance of Providence Central Aca- demyis fifty years of service to Central Louisiana. It was a gay and lively occasion sponsored by the Providence Student Council under the supervision of Mrs. Barbara Cicardo. Golden Yearsi' was the theme of this festive dance with the theme being carried out both in decoration by the Student Council and song by the Providence Choral Club. Highlighting this yearis activities was the pres- entation of Miss Cathy Cataldie as Miss Centralite, escorted by Donald Medica, and her court.

Music for the occasion was furnished by Wfhe Caprisf, Jets Reach for the Stars Through Science Jets! The very word spells excitement. And the Junior engineering and Technical Society, more commonly referred to as the Jets, has established itself as a very active organization. With Brother Elbert, S.C., as moderator and a group of eager young men who want to learn more about the world in which they live, it appears that the club will become a very prominent part of the schooljs academic program. Officers for this year's science club are Jimmie Gabour, Captaing Ken Juneau, First Officerg Glen Saucier, Communications Officerg and Michael Crooks, Navigator. For its first year of organization, the club has been very active. Some of their many field trips included visits to the Alexandria Daily Town Talk where the members got a first hand view of how a paper is printed, and an interesting excursion to England Air Force Base where the group was shown how new recruits are trained in the art of flying the new supersonic jets. This outing was negotiated by Sgt. Alverson in cooperation with the Air Force. JETS OFFICERS: Glen Saucier, Communications Officer fSecretaryDg Mike Crooks, Navigator fTrcasurerJg Jimmie Gabour, Captain fljresidentlg and Kenneth Juneau, First Officer CVice-Presidcntb.

Convention Hall was the set- ting for the Prom with the Juniors working many long hours both the day of and many long hours before the Prom. Decorations de- picting this theme were carried out very ef- fectively. The stage was decorated,with a large glittering moon dominating the scene. Thirteen Sophomores generously contrib- uted their time to be waiters at the Prom. The services they rendered helped to make the Prom a success. Music for the evening was provided by the 'LPlayboys . This group of musicians has a long-standing reputation here in Alexandria and elsewhere. Their wonderful music aided the sue- cess of the Prom. For the Juniors the Prom represents a feeling of accomplislunent just as for the Sen- iors it was a milestone in their graduation year.

Commencement Exercises Complete Careers Kenneth Freeman is congratulated after Commencement Exercises at the Convention Hall by his uncle. From the day a Menardian enters the halls of the school as a freshman he begins to think about two events, still far distant, yet very important. Events throughout each year seem to make these events appear closer to him, rather than still distant. First of these is the traditional Baccalaureate Mass, celebrated by Monsignor A. O. Olinger at Prompt Succor Church. Shortly after the mass the second of the studentls dreams is fulfilled. Last year commencement activities were held at Convention Hall. At these activities 140 high school seniors from Menard and Providence ended their high school career. His Excellency Charles P. Greco, Bishop of Aleicandria, awarded the hard earned'diplomas to the graduates. The Dean of Men from the Univer- sity of Dallas gave a talk on the use of the Catholic High School education in college and in later life. Bishop Greco delivered an address on the spiritual life of the graduate now and in the future. Following the graduation ceremonies the 66 seniors from Menard and the 74 from Providence were the guests of their parents at the annual graduation dance. ,f3 ' Bill Wilson receives Holy Communion from Msgr.

LAW DAY '6By means of this day, we as United States citizens establish one of our most priceless p05- sessions, that of democracyf, Such was the theme as expressed by Mr. Mon- sur of the Louisiana Bar Association. The occasion was the commemoration of Law Day. Comparing our government to Communism and their celebra- tion of May Day, he brought out the fact that we are able to express our views and question our government and its functions. LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE Those attending this year's Leadership Confer- ence were Jimmie Gabour, Editor-in-Chief of the newspaperg Joe Tullier, Editor-in-Chief of the year- bookg and Ronnie Fiorenza, first runner-up for the title of Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook.

Varied pecial Activities Round Out CATHOLIC BOOK WEEK Catholic Book Week promoted good wholesome literature to the entire student body. Menard's fac- ulty impressed upon the students the fact that time is too short to spend on poor books, and therefore they should try to read the very best. par Dave Miller, Jim Dore, Jeff Chicola and Pat Sanchez show the importance of Catholic literature during National Catholic Book Week. PELICAN STATE The annual boys' Pelican State Convention held in Baton Rouge proved to be a most inspiring one to Jimmie Cahour, Mike Geiger, Robert Van- derlick, Bonnie Fiorenza.

Because of this unique location and the friendly Southern hos- pitality of its peoplefbusinessnien. merchants, and industrialists-it has Come to be known as Wfhe Convention Cityw of Louisiana, With all this focus on Alexandria, it has be- come a haven for Free Enterprise. In considering the role that Free Enterprise plays in publishing the ,65 MENARDIAN one only has to look as far as the Advertisement Section. Without Free Pinter- prise there would be no advertisements and without advertisements there would be no yearbook. This basic and important fact was impressed on the yearbook staff in early September and was stressed again and again throughout the year. The business- men of Alexandria showed this characteristic friend- ly hospitality especially in our Ad Drive. VVhen they were approached by a member of the Key Club or Yearbook Staff they extended a friendly handshake and their time to listen to what the stu- dent had to say. Because of this spirit, this co-operation, the 1965 MPNARDIAN is in your hands. s Congrafulafions From THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA LEROY G, WILSON w. GEORGE Bowoom, JR. w. H.
