Archbishop Rummel High School - Raider Yearbook (Metairie, LA)

Page 224 text:

What is Raider Pride ? Although many people have come and gone from Rummel no one can actually define it. To some, Raider Pride is a never-die attitude in athletics, to others it gave the initiative for scholars to try their hardest under all conditions. To still others it is a community concern manifested through Rummel's many extra-curricular activities, and to me it is an always eager staff always ready to follow whatever command I might give. Whatever Raider Pride is, I'm sure it will follow each one of us in one way or another for the rest of our lives. All of the events of the school year, no matter how insignificant or spectacular, were presented in this text in such a way as to explore Raider Pride in its fullest form. In this yearbook we abandoned a few ideas of past Rummel annuals but in some cases change was inevitable and necessary. None of these pages could have been completed without the efforts ofa fine and devoted staff, Leading the student portion of our staff was our academics editor DAVID LOVER MOYNAN, l felt David turned what could have been the most boring section of any yearbook into the most exciting in our case. My sports editor, BILL ''BOWLING-ON-TUESDAYS-AND-WEDNESDAYS'' BLUM, helped me out immensely during the year. His open-minded nature led him to help our staff in more ways than one. CHRIS UMR. PRESIDENT BUCHER proved to be a very worthy photography editor. His sharp, crisp prints on a moment's notice made my iob a lot easier, DAVID THE .lOKER VAZ, our honored staff humorist, proved equally efficient as assistant academics editor. His quick wit and humor kept our staff together during its hard times. SCOTT CHUCKLES MARKS, whose chronic eating habits warranted his name, provided a great iob as assistant sports editor. Scott always seemed to rise to the occasion when we needed him. Copy Editor ROBERT THE MOLE MOLDANER ioined our staff midway through the year, but his copywork in the last few weeks really helped us out. Business editor JOE HAPPY FlNGERS DECKELMANN contributed many long hours at the typewriter. For his work and dedication, he was rewarded with his ungodly nickname. Artist FRED PlCASSO LANDRY added flavor to our book by using his talents on our cover and division pages, On a moment's notice, Fred turned out unbelievable expressions of Raider Pride. Last, but not least, is classes editor MIKE SUPER FROSHH MULHAUSEN. Mike's continuous chatter and drawing of an old lady kept our staff in an uproar. Seriously though, Mike showed great poise in tackling one ofthe hardest sections of the book. BROTHER JOHN FAIRFAX, principal, receives my personal gratitude for permitting this yearbook to become a reality. His concern was noted as he would often discuss the progress of the book with me. The other part of the school administration who receive my personal thanks are BROTHER BRENDAN HAYDEN, MR. JOSEPH MILLER, and MR. PETE FENNER. My thanks also goto the maiority of the Rummel faculty whose cooperation helped get this yearbook out with their cooperation. MR. ISAAC MUSSELWHITE and his English Department helped us immensely by permitting the staff to conduct its booster campaign in the English classes. The school secretaries, whose often kind faces warmed up our dreary days, deserve special and individual thanks. Recipients of special thanks for their encouragement are MR. HENRY RANDO, BROTHER MICHAEL CIMINO, MR. GEORGE RYAN, and MR. ROBERT MARTIN. In the photography section of our yearbook, MR. PAUL PALERMO of Tipery Studios came through with excellent group shots, senior pictures, and advice. MR. JAMES LeBEAU, photography advisor, helped out by introducing members of the staff to new and better photographic procedures. He receives my humble thanks for his contribution to our annual. PAT AMEDEE, a sophomore at LSU, provided a much needed boost in getting our yearbook started. My thanks for his coming down an certain weekends to help with our yearbook in its initial stages. MR. KENNETH HECHLER, public relations and publications director at Holy Cross High School, provided much needed photographic equipment that was instrumental in making our yearbook. Thanks for your friendship and equipment when both were needed, Mr. Hechler. Much appreciation goes to BROTHER NORBERT RUSSELL and BROTHER ADRIAN ROY for their cooperation in helping with the financial aspects ofthe yearbook. Appreciation from the staff goes to RAYMOND and THERESA GRATIA for permitting us to hold our famous yearbook banquet in their Fontana's Seafood Restaurant. A special thanks to MR. AND MRS. DAVIS VERRETTE, my parents. Through their love and concern I was able to get this far. What can you say about MR. JOSEPH A. SERIO? He led me through hard times when I thought there was no hope. He showed me things that I thought I would never be able to do and he made a believer out of me in many different ways. But he was more than a yearbook advisor, he was strong and stern when I needed him, but most of all, he was a friend. I don't think l'Il ever be able to repay him for what he has done for me. To him, my greatest thanks. And to all the other incredible people associated with Rummel, thanks for backing RAIDER PRIDE. Brian Verrette Editor 220 Business Brian Verrette ,JMIM . Mr. Joseph A.
