Evans High School - Evans Eagle Yearbook (Evans, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1961 volume:

We, the students of the AnnualStaff, proudly dedicate this year's annual to a man whom we have all learned to love and appreciate, because of his friendliness and willingness to help both student and teacher anyway that he possibly can. We, the student body and faculty of this school, join in wishing Mr. Tommie Craft many happy years to come. The Annual Staff This yearbook presents many of the activities of the school in a very interesting and informative way. It records people and events not merely in terms of the observable in the classroom and at recreation, but it also reveals much of the deeper meaning that high school education and training can have in the lives of boys and girls. It is my opinion that this publication will do a great deal to build a good esprit de corps binding together not only the student body and school per- sonnel, but the community as well. Congratulations for having achieved many worth- while accomplishments as reflected in this annual. With every good wish, I am Sincerely, Curtis Bradshaw, Superintendent Vernon Parish Schools Roland Mitcham, The newly elected school board member of Ward three. Vernon Parish School Board Members To the Students of Evans High School: Congratulations to the Eagle Staff, their sponsor and to the many in- dividuals who have made contributions toward this project. Students will derive much pleasure from the '61 Eagle Production in years to come. As you look back upon your 1960-61 school days, may you remember with enjoyment the good times you have had with your friends, and recall with satisfaction the profitable hours you have spent in the classroom. May you resolve to try even harder in the future, to make every min- ute of your school years count, in order to obtain success in life. My best wishes go with each one.

We leave Gene's long arms to Billy Wayne. 2. Roger Dale wills his sweat-stiffened sweat socks to T.K. . who needs to stand up straight anyway. 3. Bernett leaves his sweet talking to girls for Thomas who seems to need a few lessons. 4. John's ability of public speaking is left to Cecil. Cecil seems to be having some trouble in that field. 5. Connie’s gift of swinging hips is willed to Lula, who seems to be picking up the habit. 6. We leave Joyce's urge to marry to Beverly who is trying very hard. 7. James wishes to leave his pretty black curls to Gary. 8. Ronnie said he thought Larry needs his catty remarks. 9. Ralph wills his baggy basketball shorts to Jack Henry. 10. Ina Lee leaves her ability to wait to get married until she finishes school to Molly, who can't seem to make up her mind. 11. Jimmy wills his self-confidence to Johnnie who needs some. 12. Weir wishes to leave his broken false teeth to Louise who will soon need them. 13. Merlyn would like to leave his big mouth to Mildred as if she dosen't already have one. 14. Jack Dean leaves his long curls to Cecil who is trying to break the record. 15. Ethel's long class period of letter writing is left to Louise who seems to be doing the same.
