Anacoco High School - Chief Yearbook (Anacoco, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1961 volume:

Anacoco, Louisiana OUR ALMA MATER FOREWORD Make for yourself a treasure chest, But not of gems and gold - Fill it with things more rare and fine, As full as it will hold. Into it place your kindly thoughts. Of friends whom you hold so dear. The classes, the teachers, the happy hours That fill your life with cheer. And then if dark days come along. And your bright prospects mar, Open your treasure chest and see How very rich you are. CONTENTS Annual Staff Dedication Administration Faculty Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Elementary Favorites Athletics Classes Organizations Advertisers Staff members wish to dedicate this volume of the Chief to a former graduate, coach and principal of Anacoco School, in appreciation of the in- terest he has manifested in our welfare and for the devotion he has held through- out the years for our school. We know him as a school leader who has faith and confidence in young people and believes that whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
