The office is a friendly place where problems are worked out sympathetically with students and parents, and new ideas are duly considered and developed. Mr. Emmett Cope, Principal, with untiring interest and unlimited enthusiasm for the betterment of the school works to develop the highest type of scholarship anol student life. On July i, l956, he will be pro- moted from his present position to Supervisor of Schools for Bossier Parish. Mr. Frank Lampkin, Assistant Principal-dependable and capable- gives generously of his time and advice. On July l, 1956, he will be promoted from his present position to Principal of Bossier High School. Mrs. Kate Gamble-a wise counselor and a true friend-makes every effort to develop individual personalities and to create a happy, democratic atmosphere. MR. FRANK LAMPKIN MRS. KATE B.

An event that everyone anticipates with great joy is the Homecoming celebration during the foot- ball season. The celebration begins with an after- noon parade in which the girls ride in convertibles driven by prominent men of Bossier City. There is a tea in the early evening for the court. That night there is the game and the Homecoming dance. Bossier played Haynesville, winning the game and giving added joy to the celebration. The Home- coming dance was held at the Recreation Center and was the climax to the Homecoming festivities. The Queen is elected by the Senior class, the football sweetheart by the football team, and the band sweetheart from the band.

The best ex- ample of this is the Student Council. Being the governing body, representatives are elected from all homerooms to serve with the officers to help make Bossier High School a better place for :students and teachers. Officers for the Student Council are elected during the final weeks of school to serve the following year. All members of the Student Body take part in the elec- tion. Each year the Student Council sponsors the Election of Cheerleaders and the Popu- larity Contest. This year the city-wide Youth Week was held at Bossier. This is a high-light every year with the three city high schools cooperating to bring about a better Christian understanding among stu- dents and schools. Under the supervision of the Student Council a student telephone was installed for use by all students. Among other projects of the Council was Student Day, when the students as- sumed the responsibility of governing the school for a day. A principal, assistant principal, registrar, and guidance counselor were elected. Various classes selected a teacher for that particular class. The object of such a project was to promote better understanding between teachers and stu- dents. 79 TOP: Revising the student council constitution.

The aim is to present a picture-story of events and personalities for the year. Each volume is dedicated to a member of the faculty or administrator who has endeared himself to Bossier High School through service or benefit to the school. We, the editors of LES MEMOIRES, wish to express our thanks to Mrs. Neal, our sponsor, for her help and advice. We appre- ciate the help of the administrative staff and the cooperation of the faculty for their toleration of class interruptions. Mr. jimmy Cobb of the Shreveport Engraving Company has helped immensely by giving us the tech- nical advice needed. The twenty-one LES MEMOIRES staff members work hard to plan a yearbook that is pleasing in color, design, content, and style. The staff's only reward for their work is your approval and appreciation.

Freedom of tbe Press is a flaming sword: hold it laigla, use It justly- guard it well. The Bear Facts staff has charge of writing, editing, and having printed the Bear Facts, the high school newspaper publication. The staff members are news writers, sports writers, feature writers, copy readers, photographers, and typists. The staff tries to submit a complete, accurate, and prompt record of all school events. The purposes of the paper chosen by the staff are: 1. A school newspaper in the interest of the entire student body. 2. An opportunity for students to ex- press themselves freely through the publication of letters and other con- tributions to the editors. 3. Stimulation of interest in school ac- tivities, pep meetings, classes, clubs, contests, and sports. The Bear Facts staff works hard to put out a bi-monthly publication for the stu- dents to enjoy. To see the events of today, to recall the happenings of yesterday and to anticipate the scoops', of tomorrow is what we have done our best to accomplish. ABOVE: Now this is the way it should he done.

Representing the state of Louisiana during the International Lions Convention Parade held in Atlantic City, New jersey, the Bossier City High School Band took third place honors. Their trip consisted of fifteen days of highly interesting travel, visiting many places of historic interest. One event was an all-day tour of New York City during the three-day stop-over. Others included a tour of Washing- ton, D. C., at night, a Broadway musical, and, of course, the wonderful Boardwalk at At- lantic City. B. H. S.

NAT ON L HO OR SOCIETY The National Honor Society was organized to stimulate scholarship in the secondary schools and to endeavor to place secondary education on higher levels. Little did the founding fathers in 1921 think that the growth and development of the National Honor Society would be so impressive. Bossier High School was granted its char- ter, number 4454, in 1951. Since then our chapter has grown to be an effective organi- zation. The members are selected by the faculty. W'hen choosing prospective members, the fac- ulty impartially and conscientiously chooses students who best express the qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Five per cent of the junior class and ten per cent of the senior class may be selected. The induction ceremony is the highlight of the National Honor Society activities. In Bossier, the ceremony is held in the evening in the auditorium thus enabling parents and friends to be present. A reception with re- freshments follows. Even though the Bossier chapter of the National Honor Society is considerably new, we feel that this organization has already been an incentive for students to study harder. In the future we hope more students will qualify during their junior year so they can, as seniors, have a full and active year of service in the National Honor Society. These seniors were elected to this honor during their junior yenr. .nw I' . g Officers Larry Branscum, President: James Thorn, Vice- Prcsident: Carolyn DePrang, Secretary: and Linda King, Treasurer, enjoying Z1 leisure moment.

On numerous occasions the choir had the pleasure of working with the cadet and ninth grade choirs. Some of the activities are on a state-wide basis. The choir sent four representatives to All-State Choir, the student part of the Louisi- ana Teachers' Association. The choir also attends the Louisiana State Music Festival at Northwestern State College. The choir unites with National Thespians for the Christmas program. A high point in the year is the annual spring concert. Soloists and small groups appear before civic organi- zations. The choir as a whole frequently appears on television. Besides developing young voices, the choir gives its members the opportunity to culti- vate a taste for fine music.

During the football season, the Pep Kats worked hard making posters for our games and pep rallies, making and selling yell books to the student body, and selling football pro- grams. The Pep Kats also acted as hostesses at our open house. Another service project for the club was collecting for the joy Fund of Bossier City. This year the members worked hard in order to be ready for marching at Home- coming. There is still room for improvement, so we expect them to be ready for another year of hard work and fun when the next season arrives.

BHS Our cheerleaders like to be different. ln May many students swallow their fears and bravely get on the stage before the entire sludent body to try out for the position of cheerleader for the following year. After much campaigning by the candidates the stu- dent body elects the three girls and three boys whom they believe will most capably serve the school. This year our cheerleaders did a remark- able job. Pep posters covered the halls before all athletic events. The Recreation Center was decorated for each dance and the goal posts for each game. Each pep meeting was looked forward to by the students, for they knew that the cheerleaders would have worked up something surprisingly different each time. Best of all, the cheerleaders rarely missed attending any athletic event. In behalf of the student body, we thank these six people who have done their jobs so well. . . .

Ames fiilllll was forced out of hounds by a Tornado hack' The boys who donned Bossier City High School's grid togs in 1955 provided the Bear- kats with one of their most successful seasons in recent years. They finished their campaign with a district championship and a record of nine victories, one tie and two defeats. Bossier stunned the entire state mid-season when the Kats dished out a -i0-27 shellacking to Fair Park, the North Louisiana AAA Champions. Football got off to a fast start for the Green clad Kats. On Sept. 3, Bossier opened its grid hid by outclassing Minden, 6-0. The Tide entered the game as Louisiana's defend- ing AA state Champions. Fullback -lake Mon- talbano skirted left end for Bossier's touch- down in the third quarter on a 25-yard run after Milton Almond's recovery of a Tide fumble on the Minden 23. The Kats gained 204 yards on nine first downs while giving up H8 yards on nine Minden first downs.

One Minden threat was bottled in- side the Bossier one-yard line in the fourth period and another was erased by a penalty. Paul Robinson, a Minden end, scooped a Bossier fumble and raced 92 yards for a touchdown but the Tide was off side. Coach Bill Maxwell's high-powered pig- skin machine encountered rniseries a week later in its 7-7 date with Jonesboro-Hodge. Three Bossier touchdowns were nullified be- fore the Kats reached pay-dirt for keeps. The touchdown that counted for the Kats was scored late in the third quarter on a 25-yard pass from quarterback George Nattin to Bud Laughlin. jake Montalbano pranced across for the point after touchdown.

Seaburn Lee, Louis Howard and james Gault teamed with Laughlin to lead a smoking Bossier assault that ground out 322 yards against the downstaters. Laughlin tallied on an early 70-yard sprint and on a fourth quarter Nattin passg Lee crossed twice on short smashes and Howard added a 35-yard second period pay- dirt run and Laughlin scampered 70 yards for another. Leesville fumbles were recovered twice by Bossier linemen to set up touch- downs. Defenses of the Kats spelled trouble for St. john's while Bossier was blanking the Flyers, 40-0. With james Gault and Bud Laughlin leading the assault, Bossier amassed 575 yards rushing and southpaw George Nat- tin passed for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Gault and Laughlin scored twice and one touchdown apiece was added by Larry Bald- win and Wayne Covert. Bossier reserves saw considerable action against the AA Flyers. Bossier tasted its first defeat of the cham- pionship year when Frank Pernici and the Byrd Yellow Jackets conquered the Kats, 35-0, before 7,000 spectators at State Fair Stadium. Pernici rambled 92 yards for a touchdown on the opening kick-off.

Baldwin appeared to be in the clear when Byrd's Pat' Studstill made a shoestring tackle to nail the Kat on the jackets' eight. Bossier left the field with 144 yards rushing-40 of which were picked up in the first half. A championship was dropped into the laps of the Bossier crew on Oct. 5, when the Kats mauled the Lumberjacks at Springhill, 27-7. Bossier outgained its hosts 289 yards to 214 yards and topped first downs, 14-11. George Nattin's pass to Baldwin put Bossier ahead 6-0 in the first quarter but Springhill roared back to go ahead 7--6 early in the second. Shortly later Seaburn Lee crashed over from the three and Stevens converted. jake Montalbano skirted riglht tackle to set up a six-yard touchdown run for Laughlin in the third and Montalbano galloped 30 yards for the final TD in the fourth. Stevens converted three extra points. Pineville was an easy opponent for the Kats, who romped 448 yards on 19 first downs while emerging a 31-0 winner. It was Mon- talbano who geared the massacre. He set sail from his own 39 for a 61-yard pay-dirt sprint early in the first period and emerged the leading ground gainer. Gault scored twice for the Kats.

What was probably the biggest upset of Louisiana's state-wide season was produced when Bossier walloped Fair Park 40-27 at State Fair Stadium. More than 10,000 spec- tators cheered Jake Montalbano as he scored on jaunts of 48, 42, 65 and 28 yards. He was hailed a swivel-hipped kangaroo after his performance against the Indians. Bossier gained 329 yards on six first downs while Fair Park was churning 287 yards on 19 first downs. Laughlin was a hero. He returned a kick-off 81 yards to open the gate for one of the touchdowns.

Norman stole the ball on a Homer handoff and raced 47 yards for the first touchdown. Gault intercepted a Homer pass in the fourth on Bossier's seven to start the Kats on their second TD maneuver. john Mercer showed up as a stalwart on defense, on one occasion personally preventing a Homer score. Fumbles backfired against the Kats in their first scrap with North Caddo as the Rebels upset Bossier, 20-6. The Rebels recovered three of four Bossier bobbles. Bossier's only touchdown was notched late in the second quarter on a two-yard plunge by James Gault. North Caddo rambled 210 yards on 10 first downs holding Bossier to 157 yards on 11 first downs. Bossier was without services of Mon- talbano who was recovering from injuries. Alert and swift-legged, the Kats conquered another AAA opponent when they downed the West Monroe Rebels, 20-12, at Monroe. Bossier scored in the first minute on Gault's 19-yard run. Gault intercepted a W.M. pass in the first minute of the second half to set up another tally. The other markers were by John Mercer on a 17-yard hoof and Bud Laughlin on a 12-yard end sweep. Bossier had 231 yards on six first downs and West Monroe covered 171 yards on 11 first downs. Bossier xcrsus Homtr Bossier dominated another AAA rival in a 19-12 offensive battle with Haynesville. Seaburn Lee accounted for all the winning team's scores on jaunts of two, one and ll yards and added an extra point. The Kats raced 257 yards on 14 first downs holding Haynesville to 224 yards on 13 first downs. Haynesville marched to the one-foot line as time ran out. Bossier scored twice in the fourth quarter for the decision. The successful season was brought to a close at Monroe where the Kats were edged, 14-13, by Neville in the bi-district playoffs. Bossier marched 66 yards with 30 seconds left in the second quarter. Bud Laughlin bounced over from the seven but Seaburn Lee was topped short of the stripes on an attempt to score the conversion via rushing. A Laugh- lin pass to Baldwin covered 28 yards before john Mercer went over on a four-yard run three plays before the game ended. Neville sewed up its success when Tom Causey intercepted a Bossier pass and returned it 30 yards for the second Tiger touchdown. The Monroe team finished its season as state champions. Bossier had 12 first downs on 168 yards rushing and Neville gained 216 yards on 11 first downs.

TH GRADE LITTLE KAT Coach Hardaway's ninth grade Little Kats, though light in comparison to their oppon- ents, had an above average season. They placed second in the Shreveport Recreation League, being defeated by Byrd's freshman team. This season the Little Kats won 5, lost -1, and tied l game. The Little Kats ran out of a Split-T for- mation: but sometimes shifted into a modified double wing in order to utilize the passing arms of Bobbie Kile and Don Vallery and the excellent receiving of William Rivers and jimmy Taft at ends. Defensively, David Mc- Gowan, Donald King, and jerry Perry were outstanding. The guiding of the team, the making of decisions on the field and handling the ball in the quarter back slot were left in the capable hands of Bubba Spataro, the team captain. This group has the determination, drive and sense of fair play that will continue to make the school proud of them as they move up to varsity positions in the future. The Little Kats of today are the Bear-Kats of tomorrow. Ready for action.

EIGHTH GRADE FOOTBALL The Bossier 105 lb. football squad, headed by Coach D. W. Steger, was defeated only by the champions of the Shreveport Recreation league. This was by the Cedar Grove Kiwanis Club by a score of 6-0. However, the statistics show the Bossier lads led both offensively and defensively. They scored a total of ninety-nine points while holding their opponents to eigh- teen points through a six-game schedule. The scoring was evenly distributed among the backs which included Ronnie Smith, QBQ Doug McGowan, jimmy Smith, LHQ Dennis Kile, FBQ and Harlan Beene, RH. Ends Eddie Braswell and Cecil Upshaw were constant threats for the defense with their pass snaring and blocking. The boys in the line were instrumental in each victory, which was com- posed of Cecil Upshaw, LEQ Bob Hollingshead, LTQ Sam Jordan, LGQ Ken Hill and Everett Branyan, Cg Steve Nehring, RGg Tommy Mit- chell, RTg and Eddie Braswell, RE. One of the most exciting victories came at the expense of Broadmoor on a sixty-five yard jaunt late in the fourth period by Doug McGowan. The extra point came on a plunge by Dennis Kile to provide the 7-6 margin. Practice makes perfect.

The Bossier Bearkats completed the 1955- 56 season with a fine record of eighteen wins and eight losses. The 1956 squad started with the least experienced group in the eight years of Coach Frank Lampkin's tenure as head mentor, whose over-all record was 229 wins and 72 losses, for a .761 percentage. While the Bearkats were not as sharp- shooting a team as previous seasons, they picked up the slack as a tough defensive team, giving such stars as Minden's Jackie Moreland and Ruston's Bobby james a tough time. The Kats averaged 51.1 points per game while holding their opponents to a 44.0 average. The 1956 Basketball Team elected jo Ann Thornton as Basketball Sweetheart of 1955-56 because she has given her full support to the team and to her school. 106 VUE 65 74 57 56 69 34 41 42 23 46 59 44 35 46 50 36 50 52 62 58 51 52 66 65 54 4.

Bossiur, get that Gene Madden, Burgess McC7anic, George Nattin, Mack Lattier, Howard Bennett, Cortez Bridges In the District 1-AA, the Bearkats evolved with six wins and two losses to take second place. The Kats' offensive power was well divided among six players, with Senior Ed- ward Shaw showing the way with a total of 504 points, an average of 11.7 per game. Edward was trailed closely by Mack Lattier with a 9.5 average, james Pendarvis with a 7.2 average, George Nattin with a 6.1 average, Larry Baldwin with a 6.08 average, and Gene Madden with a 5.88 average. The Bearkats also received able assistance from jerry Swint, a first year letterman. The Bearkats were eliminated in the Springhill, Minden, and Bossier Tournaments in the semi-finals by only a few points each time. The Bossier quintet lost out to the Ruston High School team in the playoffs by a 56-54 score, in one of the most thrilling games of the season for both teams. The game was tied thirteen times, with Ruston making the last tie-breaking goal with fifteen seconds left to ply. Ruston went on to win the State Championship. Coach Lampkin cleared his bench of Bear- kats on January 17, and still had no difficulty snowing under St. john's by a convincing score. The Kats raced away to double the score at 30-15 by halftime and coasted in with reserves manning all positions. It was Bossier's second victory without a setback in District 1-AA competition. Come on, George! In the Springhill game, the Bossier Bear- kzrs, after trailing by three points at the inter- mission, came storming back to double the Springhill output in the final half to defeat the Lumberjacks. In a nip-and-tuck first half, the Springhill cagers held out for a 23-20 advantage at the end of two periods. Then, paced by Edward Shaw, the Bearkats took full advantage of the last 16 minutes to tally 26 points while holding the Lumberjacks to 13. On january 31, Minden High School's Basketball force took its first swipe at District 1-AA and crippled the Bossier Bearkats. Al- though the Bearkats stayed in there fighting, Moreland and crew proved to be too much.

The Bossier girls' Basketball team, coached by Miss Gloria Bozeman, went through the 1955-56 season with a record of 15 wins against 13 defeats. Injuries to several players of the team handicapped the team, hut nevertheless they proved themselves worthy of several honors. Bossier was in a three-way tie for first place in District 1-AA, but in the play-offs held at the Cotton Valley gymnasium, they were eliminated and Springhill took top place. Roberta Booth, guard, and Lynette East, for- ward, were chosen to represent Bossier on the All-District l-AA team. In the Bossier Parish League, the Bear- kittens took second place, having been de- feated only by Plain Dealing. In the Parish Tournament, they won third place by de- feating Haughton. Nancy Foreman, guard, was named to the All-Parish team and also had the honor of being chosen for the All- Tournament team at the Minclen Invitational Tournament. For the first year, Bossier hosted a girls' invitational tournament on February 3-4 and several strong teams made the meet an inter- esting one. With their hopes high and their sight on first place, the girls got past the first round of play, only to have their view dimmed by a loss to Plain Dealing in their next con- test. Guard Roberta Booth made All-Tourna- ment in the Bossier Tournament. Seniors on the team are Nancy Foreman, Sue Walpole, Lynette East, Carolyn DePrang, and Marilyn Taylor. Remaining players are juniors Roberta Booth, jo Nell Carter, Phyllis Mitchell, and Judy DeMaine. Sophomore Ann Tharp and freshmen Miriam Murphy, Nancy Stewart, Myrna Patrick, and Gwen Huston, finish the squad. The girls are looking forward to a good season next year and with hard work and cooperation on the part of all, they should make a good showing. All the way, Team!

With little to go on at first except the determination of the team to win and to play to their best ability, they finished the season with a record of twelve wins against three losses. The team is made up of boys who have not received a varsity letter in basketball and the varsity takes the best ten men at the be- ginning of the season and does not let them play on this team. The offensive power of the parish team was centered around the ability of Bobby joe Howell, Howard Bennett, and Charles Stevens. These boys were the spark plugs of the team with Howell leading in the scoring column followed by Bennett from the center position. Lewis and Lumsden rounded out the first five, but were backed up with help from the rest of the team. During the season they play each team in the parish twice and climax the season with the parish tournament. During the regular season they were tied for first place with Benton, but lost in the play-off game by three points. Our boys lost their first game in the parish tournament to Haughton but came back to win from Plain Dealing and to take third place. We are very proud of the record of this team because it is composed mostly of boys who are learning the fundamentals of basket- ball so that next year they will be ready to play varsity basketball.

N TH GRADE BASKETBALL Coach Hardaway divided the ninth Little Kats into two squads: an A and B teamg entering each team in separate basketball leagues in the Shreveport Recreation Depart- ment and YMCA leagues. The A team went through their league play undefeated - winning the Shreveport Ninth Varsity League Championship and the YMCA ninth grade league championship. The season record for the AU team was I6 games won and no losses. The B team was entered in the East Side Recreation ninth grade league in Shreveport. They won the league championship, being undefeated. Their season record was 15 wins and no defeats. So in league play the combined record of the Little Kats Basketball team was 31 wins, no losses, and three championships. The two teams were combined for tourna- ment play, winning the YMCA Hi-Y tourna- ment. NINTH GRADE CHEERLEADERS LEFT TO RIGHT: Louise Grosjean, Carol Ann Demesy, Peggy Atwood, Sandy Gartsfield.

Although the schedule was not a heavy one, the team did compete with the best. The boys were led by such standouts as Ken Wilbur, Mike Burkett, jerry Sanders, and jerry Malone. The girls were headed by Lynette East, Sue Wfalpole and Jackie Naylor. The Bossier High Racket Wielders proved to be a tough obstacle in the District Tournament of the State Championship play- offs, competing against Byrd, Fair Park, jones- boro, Neville, and Ruston. Ken Wilbur, the Boys' Single entry won out until the semi- finals when he lost a tough battle to the Byrd entry. Likewise, Lynette East, number one entry for the girls lost out in a good match in the semifinals. The boys, doubles, Ken Wilbur and Mike Burkett, and the girls' doubles, Lynette East and Sue Walpole, also lasted until the semifinals. Keeping up the trend, Jackie Naylor and Jerry Sanders, in the mixed doubles were defeated in the semi- finals. ln losing only jerry Sanders from the team, the Bossierites should prove to be tough on all opponents next season. THE 1955 TENNIS TEAM Mr. Lampkin, our tennis coach. Mike Burkett, Jerry Malone, Warren Haslouer. NTIS.. . COACH DAVID STFGER Coach Steger's eighth grade basketballers are the City Champions for the fourth year in succession. They played a I6-game schedule which consisted of 14 wins and 2 defeats. They defeated St. john's in the finals of the play-offs, 30-19, to cop the title. The team was sparked offensively by Dennis Kile and Cecil Upshaw. The work underneath the basket was handled by Donald Lewis, Barry Box, Burrell Horton, and Tommy Rachal. Practice drills can be really rough. Lewis and Horton both received much praise for their excellent rebounding performances. They, along with their team mates, always came up with the all important rebounds necessary to be successful in the win column. The team worked hard and played as a unit both offensively and defensively, to achieve that which was awarded them-THE CHAMPIONSHIP! EIGHTH GRADE BASKETBALL FIRST ROW?

Coach Charles Birtman says, This season we should be strong in the sprints and relay races and, with the help of Laughlin, strong in the broad jump and hop-step and jump. The squad as a whole showed up very well in the Byrd Relays this year, defeating all class AA schools that were entered in the meet. As the season progresses, the squad should round into shape and be a contender for the state title.

The squad produced several players who excelled in their positions. There were eleven first year men, five two year men, with Buddy Davidson and Pete Walpole being the oldest veterans, each having three years experience. Pete made the pitching staff on the all- district team for the second time in a row. Bud Laughlin, leading the league in fielding at second base, was also selected for the team. Another boy rating high on the defensive list was Bobby Starks. Bobby finished with the highest fielding average for all outfielders, committing only one error. George Nattin was extremely effective in his first year on the squad, picking up several wins on the mound and doing a bang-up job in the outfield between chores. Randolph finally got one.

The Music Club, sponsored by Mr. Ken- neth L. Green, director of the Bossier High School Band, was formed for the basic purpose of teaching its members the true value of and appreciation for good instrumental music. This enables the members to develop a better foundation for their playing during regular rehearsal periods with the band. The club's membership was formerly opened to all who wished to join but has since been restricted to Concert Band students only. Listening to records of all types of music, both classical and swing, sight-reading new music, and making tape recordings of this music are the club's principal activities. Each year the club has some major project, such as the purchase of several long-playing records to add to their record collection. They also purchase sheet music for the Concert Band. The members are very proud of this or- ganization. MUSIC CLUB 4-H CLUB The 4-H Club of Bossier High School has 23 members. The big day of the club year is ACHIEVEMENT DAY, held each spring, in which all 4-H Clubs of Bossier Parish meet to compete with each other in the work done in their own respective clubs. The girls are especially interested in home improvement, and the boys give their time and interest to general improvement of home and farm. During National 4-H Club Week, March 3-11, more than 2,100,000 4-H Club members in America this year will unite Head, Heart, Hands, and Health in Improving Family and Community Living, the club's continuing theme for 1956. These young people between 10 and 21 years old, are teamed up to work for better homes, schools, and churches in their own localities.

The success of our nation is based upon education of the finest quality. Bossier High School's Future Teachers Club of America is one of the most successful clubs. It is noted for the sincerity that exists in the members' work to reach the high goal of becoming teachers of tomorrow's leaders and workers. The members of this club are among the most active students of the school. In the absence of teachers, they are always ready and willing to fulfill the duties of a substitute teacher. This year, as in past years, the club visited Waller Elementary School. This helps greatly in the members' final decision to be- come teachers. Through numerous projects, such as cake sales and rummage sales, the club is financially able to sponsor the most interesting highlight of the year, a trip to the annual Future Teacher's Convention. This convention is held on the Louisiana State University campus and lasts for several days. Staying in the dormi- tories permits the members to have a mar- velous time, as well as learning more about the teaching profession. 123 . President Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer .

It is an organization to teach its members more about the business world. A chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America was organized at Bossier High School in 1954. Any student who has had or is enrolled in a commercial subject is eligible for membership. We take field trips and obtain speakers from the different phases of business to speak to our club. One of our aims is to try to prepare young people for a useful occupation and to impress upon them that they should carry on that occupation in such a manner that it will bring the greatest good to the greatest number. We also try to teach them that every young person should take responsibility for carrying out assigned tasks in a manner that will reflect credit to himself, his associates, his school, and his community. We believe that the future of America de- pends upon mutual understanding and cooper- ation of business, industry, labor, the home, the church, the school, and by the people of our own and other lands. l25 OFFICERS MARTHA PHILLIPS . . .

Since that time there have been IIOLIPCS formed in almost every state of the Union and the work of these groups is known in dramatic work everywhere. In the latter part of the 1955 school ses- sion fourteen students were initiated forming Troupe 1514. At the beginning of the 1955-56 school year the name of the Dramatic Club was changed to National Thespian Society and Under- studies. To become a Thespian a student must earn ten points by being in or working on the dramatic productions of the school. Each year Thespians, with the help of the choir, has presented our Christmas pro- gram. Most of the backstage crew for the Senior plays and the Variety shows have been trained in this club. Much credit is due to our sponsor for the past four years, Miss Charlotte jaynes. Her encouragement has inspired Bossier Students in the field of dramatic work and to her the school owes gratitude. 126 The Future Homemakers of America, founded on june ll, 1945, is the national organization of girls studying homemaking in high school. As an integral part of the pro- gram of home economics it offers opportuni- ties for the further development of pupil ini- tiative in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. The Future Homemakers of America brings together state groups interested in find working toward better home and family living, provides opportunities to share in solving problems important to home life, and sponsors group projects, local, state and na- tional in scopeg it increases opportunities for the development of leadership and intelligent participation so much needed in a democratic society. The Future Homemakers of America Club is composed of Chartered State Associa- tions, which in turn are made up of chapters in high schools offering homemaking.

Hi-Y is a voluntary club for boys based on the general principle of the National Hi-Y. It is Christian in emphasis, interdenomina- tional in character, and democratic in practice. The Senior Hi-Y at Bossier High School is sponsored by Mrs. Kate Gamble. Our Club encourages members to work together for high scholarship, physical health, moral worth and unselfish service. An annual project of the Senior Hi-Y is the sponsoring of the He-Male Beauty Con- test. So far we have had little trouble finding plenty of Beauties. With the Hi-Y main platform being to create, maintain, and extend throughout the community better Christian living, the Senior Hi-Y has been drawn closer to better standards of living and a closer bond with Christian work. Sponsoring a program on television, and playing in Y tournaments, the Club has found that there is fun to be had in both Christian work and play. SE IOR HI-Y UNIOR HI-Y The Hi-Y is one of the outstanding organi- zations in Bossier High School. It is a Chris- tian organization, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A., striving to broaden the boys' belief in God and their fellowmen. The purpose of the Hi-Y is: To create, maintain, and extend thoughout the school und community high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y platform is built on clean living, clean speech, clean sportsman- ship, and clean scholarship.

We hope everyone will help us to do this. It is our belief that everyone would profit by this, if they would not only practice clean speech, but make it a part of everyday life. During the year we entered two basketball teams in the Christmas Basketball Tournament which was held at the Y.M.C.A. during the Christmas holidays. One team won first place in the tournament and received a very nice trophy for this honor. Everyone had a very nice time playing against other teams.

Many of these girls have been members of this organization for four years of high school. They strive to render service to the school, city, nation, and world. All the pro- grams are Christ centered. One of the rewards of Y-Teen member- ship is wholesome recreation. This year's basketball team made a good showing. Swim- ming, crafts, and parties are on the fun list of the club. Through this organization each girl finds new experiences, new opportunities, and new friends. SENIOR Y-TEENS K E Y C L U B The Bossier High Key Club, under the sponsorship of the Bossier City Kiwanis Club, is moving forward with great strides in its second year. With the help of two sponsors from the Kiwanis Club, Bob Kilgore and D. L. Patrick, we are striving to make this one of our best clubs. During the year we promoted several projects, the main one being our White Christmas. We hope this will be a project of yours each year. The Key Club is composed of members from the Sophomore, junior, and Senior Classes who wish to serve the school through their initiative and leadership. Before one may become a member of the Key Club, he has to have certain qualifications. He has to be scholastically qualified and be willing to work, but foremost he must want to be in the Key Club.

All Y-Teen projects are aimed for these goals. In striving to attain our goal we aid in such civic projects as the joy Fund and the Toys for Tots drive. February is observed as brotherhood month. During this month our Y-Teen group visits various churches of different faiths and de- nominations in an effort to accomplish our purpose through building fellowship. Of vast importance this year is our potato chip sale. The object of this sale is to raise money to send a delegate to our Y-Teen conference, which is held annually in Gulfport, Missis- sippi. At this conference our Y-Teen repre- sentative will learn new ways for our Y-Teen group to better serve its purpose. A project that is attracting much attention is our scrapbook project. In these scrapbooks we will portray life in America in pictorial form. These books will be exchanged city- wide in the various Y-Teen groups and some of the best books will be exchanged country- wide. -TEE FIRST ROXV: Sue Humphrey, Virginia Fuller, Georgia Mae Stringfellow, Jean Smith, Evelyn Marlar, Floy McCain, Jo Nell Carter, Mary Frances Butler, Durwilla Roach, Lynda Beauvais.

They were greatly appreciated. For their Christmas project they brought food and clothing from home to be given to a needy family that had been picked by the Welfare Department. This was one of their most successful projects. The club also sponsored :several cake sales to provide funds for the activities they planned and to pay any other expenses that might occur. Though the girls worked hard they played some, too. Besides their many projects they had several successful parties.

Sponsor Wfhy so serious! -TEENS This Y-Teen club is striving to uphold the Y-Teen goal: to grow as a persong to grow in friendship with people of all races, reli- gions, nationalities and to grow in knowledge and love of God. With three more years of Y-Teen mem- bership to look forward to, each member is well aware that through the planning of the Y,W.C.A. their goal to spread among all girls the spirit of enthusiasm, service, and friend- ship together will reap its rewards. They are planning a year of fun, work, and play. A well-rounded program of activi- ties throughout the year made this a very interesting club. They participated in the Y.W.C.A. Basket- ball Tournament in February. To climax this club year, they are going to Camp Margaret in the spring. 138 Y-Teens are girls in junior and senior high schools who are junior members of the Y.W.C.A. They belong to a world-wide fel- lowship of women and girls of every race, creed, color, and occupation in Y.W.C.A.'s in sixty-five couniries. Because there are thoughts in a girl's mind deeper than laughter, because there are hidden yearnings in a girl's heart, because there is a desire in a girl's soul to know God and His goodness, our Y-Teen Clubs were formed. They were organized that girls might come together to discuss things important to each one, that they might learn how to spread among all girls the spirit of enthusiasm, of service, and of friendship. The Y-Teens would like to share with you an excerpt from William H. Danforth's I Dare You : I Dare You, whoever you are, to share with others the fruits of your dar- ing. Catch a passion for helping others, and a richer life will come back to you. Planning our Christmas Program. OFFICERS JUDY LAWRENCE . SARAH LANZA . . . CAROL ANN DEMESY . SANDRA WESTBROOK .

This club, formed at the beginning of the school year was a neces- sary measure because of the large number of students from all grades enrolled in the Science Club. Serving as a nucleus for interest, these stu- dents will promote club organization in a new junior High School. Members in this club operate as a separate unit with their own officers yet they cooper- ate closely with the Senior Club in all activi- ties. Science projects are prepared by the students and presented for entrance in the Junior Division of the Centenary Regional Science Fair. Projects receiving recognition are then eligible for admission in the State Science Fair in New Orleans, Louisiana. The success of this new cl.ub was due to the interest and enthusiasm expressed by the students and sponsors. Plans were made for the future expansion of this organization and efforts made to build interest in clubs for junior high school students throughout the state. The junior High Club members are watching their hamster family eat. OFFICERS PHILLIP ELROD . . President BILL LUTTRELL . Vice-President SARAH LANZA . . . Secretary GERALD Ll'NSO .... . Treasurer MRS.

The B Club takes on a new proiect each year, sometimes leaving them as equip- ment for the benefit of the school. The project for l955-56 will be the presentation to the school of a sign board, to be erected in front of the building, which will display signs of approaching activities of our school. The B Club will sponsor for the first time an award to the Best All-Around Athlete of Bossier High School. This will be an annual award based on a point system as set up by the B Club committee on awards and the coaches of our school.
