Mil Louisiana's Beal Ooomtor Please lake B Stand: local neuis Election time again at EHS. No, not for class officers or Homecoming queen, but a mock election for the next governor of Louisiana. Five juniors and seniors represented the gubernatorial candidates: Governor Edwin Edwards, Billy Tauzin, Jim Brown, Bob Livingston, and Buddy Roemer.
