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

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1962 volume:

The faculty and student body of Evans High School proudly dedicate this year's annual to one of their retiredbus drivers, Mr. Wilburn Hinson. We hope that this dedication will show in some small way our appreciation for the faithful service that Mr. Hinson has exhibited in the progress of Evans School. We have a deeper feeling for Mr. Hinson than words can express. For his kindness, and gentle nature, and helping hand to every boy and girl of Evans School, he will always be remembered.

I wish to commend the staff and sponsors of Evans High School for their contribution and efforts involved in compiling and editing this year book. As you review the many activities in which you have engaged during the academic year may they point out pleasant memories and visible marks of progress and improvement.

My best wishes go with each one of you represented in this publication. Sincerely, Curtis Bradshaw, Superintendent Vernon Parish Schools To the students of Evans High School: Congratulations to the Eagle Staff, their sponsor, and the many people who have made contributions to this project.

Many friendships have been made, and a great lesson has been learned-how to live with others. The parts of our lives that can never be recaptured--except in thoughts, has been lived here. Through this book one may enter the past, view- ing it through the eyes of great men. Then experiences and ideas of his own are relived. We live a day and a day is gone. We live a year and a year is gone. We truly hope that this annual may leave true and sacred memories of this year (1961-1962).

Craft Molly Evans Thomas Keel Lula Midkiff SHIRLEY CHEVROLET COMPANY DeRidder, Louisiana HKH ■ 3 r I reistoty OnSeptember 2, 1958, twenty-two scared little Freshmen stepped into the massive halls of Evans High School. They were as follows: Beverly Egan, Molly Evans, Louise Jones, Elois Roberts, Mildred Smith, Lula Midkiff, Elsie Kay, Carolyn Speights, Linda Andrews, Charles Arnold, Thomas Craft, Wayne Dailey, Earl Eaves, Gary Holt, Thomas Keel, Wesley Loftin, Larry Belton, and Johnny Nash. During this school year they lost Thurmon Holt, and Wesley Loftin. Elsie Kay took a big step and married during the summer, and now has three little Elsies . Linda Andrews didn't like our company, so she moved away. Upon entering our Sophomore year, we lost five more pupils. Elois Roberts failed to reach the tenth grade. Charles Arnold and Earl Eaves and George Jeane dropped out looking for greener pastures and must have found them for they never returned. Bells got to ringing in Carolyn Speights ear's and she became Mrs. Jack Dean Pippin, so we lost her. We neither lost nor gained in the eleventh grade. Everything was just about the same. The same low grades, staying in at recess for breaking the rules. Then on September 5, 1961, twelveof the twenty-two little Freshmen had achieved the goal of becoming Seniors. No one had changed from the Junior year to the Senior year, except Beverly Egan. She became Mrs. Clarence Arnold. The faithful twelve are as follows: Mildred Smith Larry Belton Louise Jones Beverly Arnold Molly Evans Lula Midkiff Thomas Keel Thomas Craft Johnny Nash Gary Holt Jack Toney Cecil Jeane HERNANDEZ FARM SUPPLY Leesville, Louisiana THE LEESVILLE LEADER 206 E.
