Gueydan High School - Bruin Yearbook (Gueydan, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1963 volume:

For twelve years we have looked forward with many dreams and hopes to our senior year. Now that this momentous time hascomewe are hesitant about proceeding. Next year we will become aware that we are on our own, and we are no longer part of a high school class. There will be no class meetings, no parties, no working together; and soon time will attempt to erase the warm memories of our high school life. It is our desire to keep these memories alive for everyone - in this, the 1963 Bruin on its tenth anni- versary. Editor - Kennith Touchet Co-Editor - Carolyn Overley 4 We, the Class of 1963, proudly dedicate our ' Bniin”fto Mr. Robert W. Linscombe for whom we hold such high regard, both as a teacher and a friend. De(flC 2tioil . . . 77Tr. Robert To).

L. BUSH, Principal uctjdan, Jlouiliana Twenty-eight years of association with the students and teachers of Gueydan High School have confirmed in me an abiding faith in the youth of our community. To their parents the credit is due for one of the best school environments in the state. It is a source of deep satisfaction for fate to have directed me to work for the major part of my active life with such wonderful people. The class of 1963 is to be congratulated for its record of ac c ompli shme nt. MR. JOHN BERTRAND Mathematics; Gueydan High School B.S., University of Southwestern Louisiana MR.

Robe-rT u L ‘ ______________________________________________ Uvscorn S£ SnlT n� � () ass Di'ffs of 1963 The time has come to pass on our laurels and position to the next class, the class that will be sitting in our places next year. And so in passing we wish to extend our best wishes to our followers and to hope that they do just half as well as we have. Of course, we know that every one of them expects to do better. However that may be, there are a few treasures we would dread to see lost. And in order that such a disaster should not take place, we have written our will and in it every treasure is taken care of. We, the class of 1963 of the Gueydan High School, being of sound mind and memory do hereby make and publish this to be our last will and testament, in form and manner as follows, and as at- tested to this day of May the 29 th. To our principal and teachers we leave blessed peace, calm days, and peaceful nights, undisturbed by the harrowing problems that we as a class presented them. To them, too, we leave memories. Memories, that in days to come will soften and grow mellow, and finally serve only as amusing tales to brighten their autobiographies. Of even greater value, we leave our erstwhile instructors and guardians a vast fund of experience, experience that will help them, we hope, to meet the problems of future senior classes with fewer headaches and greater optimism. To our successors, the Junior Class, we leave our prestige, our dignity, and our seats in the senior class rooms. In addition we bequeath to them the joy and zest of competing for class honors, a taste of sorrow for those who don't quite make the grade, and quiet pride for those who do. We leave to them the joys of anticipation, regret for lost opportunities, and the many impressive resolutions we made during the past year. Unfortunately the reso- lutions are a bit battered but perhaps the Juniors can patch them up and keep them in better condition than we did. For the Sophomores, alas, we have nothing to offer that would seem of value to them. What could we leave them? The class that has everything - brains, beauty and an inexhaustible supply of self-esteem. At the moment they are enjoying that most enviable of all sensations, the assurance that the world is their apple, and a nice rosy apple at that. All we can give them is our sincere hope that they can stand up under the shock when they discover, as they will, that even the most tempting looking apple can conceal a worm in its core. To the Freshmen, bless their hearts, we bequeath all our dreams that didn't come true, our ambitions that we never quite achieved, and our once shining belief in the essential rightness of all things. We leave them the unequaled joy of giggling at nothing; the pains and pleasures of puppy love, which they will be very sure is not puppy love, and the thrill of discovering unsuspected talents within themselves. To the children still in grammar school, to the infants still in their cradles, and to those as yet unborn; to all those who will one day be students at Gueydan High School we leave all that has been most precious to us during our schooldays here - the power to make lasting friendships; the breathtaking thrill of watching a football team carry the red and white of Gueydan High to a glorious victory, and the heartbreaking thrill of watching a gallant team go down fighting to a glorious defeat. We leave them the glow of satisfaction that comes from representing their school on the field of honor, companionship, and laughter, and the ever increasing enjoyment of life that comes with increasing knowledge. David Abshire leaves his politeness to Billy Hair. Kenny Baker wills his Ethiopian dialect to Sherman Fruge. Charles Beller just leaves but happy. Allen Broussard leaves his height to Wilson Lejeune. Laveme Broussard leaves her long hair to Judy Clark. Martha Broussard wills her black hair to Frances Means. Ronald Broussard leaves his good times in high school to anyone who wants them. Marilyn Broussard wills her daintiness to Clare Gayle. Yvonne Corbello wills her cheerfulness to Ellen Potier. Annie David leaves her trips to Lake Charles to Brenda Thibodeaux.

The Senior Class of 1963 Reveal to me, O Crystal, the secrets you hold. Ah! I begin to see the light. Now I shall be able to read the future. I shall delve into the mysteries of the unknown and tell each member of this graduating class where he or she shall be twenty years from now. Who is this I see coming up the street? He is riding in a great magnificent automobile. Now he stops at the bank. He gets out and goes in. He must be someone of vast importance. Who can it be? At last he is turning around so that I can see his face ... It is George Logan Gardiner (Skipper). By hard work and honesty, he has become president of a bank, someone out at sea. It is a woman. She is standing on the deck of a great ocean steamer looking across the waves. A veil partly hides her face. But there is something familiar about her. Ah, now I see who it is! Lynn Hartwell! Her fame as a singer has spread from one end of the world to the other, and she is now on her way to London to fill an important engagement. The scene changes. We are carried swiftly to the cold snows of Alaska. What is this going ahead of us? An aeroplane! And the pilot? - Yes, now we see. It is our old friend, Charles Beller. He is filling the important work of an airmailman between New York and Alaska. Every day he makes this perilous and brave trip through clouds and storm, bearing the mail that Uncle Sam has entrusted to his care. Again a new land is presented to our eyes. Tall palm trees. A hot beating sun! A sandy beach. But wait - listen! Music - soft and sweet - it's Hawaiian music. There is someone dancing. She is dressed in a grass skirt with her white feet showing. She is doing the Hula! As we come nearer we see she is an American tourist trying to master the art of Hula dancing. Ah! as the glow of the crystal ball grows clearer we see, No! Yes! Carol Pego!! As Carol seems not able to follow the sway and enchanting beat of the Hawaiian music, her teacher walks into the scene and gives her a demonstration. As she slowly turns with the sway of her hips, we see a bright smile and dimples! Bring her closer, crystal ball, so we will be able to see who it is. Ah! now we see it is little Clara Touchet. Now what can this be? A great crowd of people, all shouting and waving their hands. They are waiting for someone. He is coming up the street, bowing to the right and to the left. Why it's Shelton Vincent! He has just been elected as Coach of the Year by the National Association of Athletics and he is on his way to speak at the banquet for his dear friend Allen Vincent who has just been elected as governor of this state. Turning to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The case is still. We hear, What shall we do with Kruschev? Should we put him in the zoo, in a closed cell, or should we pass him around as an exhibit of the master race? Well! We come closer and see that the speaker is Judge Wilton Theriot. The president's office, and who is that secretary we see? She has a fair complexion and light hair. She has caused much conflict between the president and his wife by refusing to wear the latest styles which Jackie has endorsed. Yes, shy and quiet Danise Rowe still refuses to wear the jodhpurs in the office. The sleeping beauty back in 1963 surely has changed. She is now a dancing ballerina at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. But who is it that has traveled all over the world as a dancer? She is the fame of the year to higher society, Brenda Ann Simon. I wonder who won the last academy award! Well! Gee! It's Ricky Nelson Baker, in Cat in a Hot Tin Ford. He has become very famous in recent years. Who’s that great scientist who has proved Fermat's last theorem now stands true? He has at last succeeded. Yes! Sean Gayle has become the greatest scientist ever and is on his way to prove Einstein's theory wrong. Now I see Oh! We have missed the most important musician of all, but since he is the pianist at the Waldorf Astoria, we are proud to say that he is from our dear, little town of Gueydan! Yes, none other than Mike Touchet. The Lake Shore, a very popular and rising night club is now a very exclusive resort club also. When the last owner died, he passed this club on to its most regular patrons, Annie David and Marie Istre who have turned it into a tea parlor. School again! I guess you have heard that Mr. Bush, our old Principal, is the president of L.S.U. Now we have a new principal - a boy who always had so much interest in his school work and who worked with such a great effort in college that he has now worked himself up to the desk of our old principal. Yes! It is J. B. Vincent. Another familiar face in our crystal globe is Dianne Siemon. Dianne is seriously thinking about taking the job of Football coach at L.S.U. We all remember how Dianne was a great fan of the Tigers; and now that her dream has come true, she is able to lead them on to National Victory once again. This time the scene is on an old and respected street in the city of Kaplan, Louisiana, and we see a beautiful home. We discover that the person who lives here was voted Most Likely to Succeed in the Class of 1963. We want to find out more about this graduate, and as we walk up to the door, we see a little girl in the yard. We ask to see the lady of the house and her reply is, Just a second I'll see if Grandmother is in. And the next person we see is Pat Simon. Yes, Pat is now happily married to Eddie, and is leading a quiet and peaceful life as a grandmother twenty years after she graduated. Next is the town of Wright, which we now see has the population of fifty; and their honorable mayor is now Conride Miller. We also have secret information that Conride plans to run for the Senate next year. Let's turn to Rodeo Land. What do you think we see? Well! What do we usually see at a rodeo? Here we see a familiar face, riding and winning prizes. Just who was the cowboy when we were back in school? Don't you remember the one who won the prize at all of the local rodeos? Yes! it is Allen Broussard. Now we are carried to New York. Here we see Robert Potier has been quite busy designing yesterday's clothes. He is considered the best dressed man of the year. Are those hunting boots he is wearing with knee pants? a sloppy-Joe sweater? a big bow tie? a high silk hat? and a pair of gloves? and a walking cane? Wow! 1! Next we see the world's leading hair stylist is Loretta Smith. Loretta has been very busy working with the critics, trying to make them accept teasing again as the popular style with women over fifty years old. Mona Nolan! Where could she be? Heaven only knows! She has not been seen since graduation in 1963. Some say that she went to Germany; others say she is still in the States; but we do know that she did marry a soldier boy who was in Germany. We now see a huge automobile factory coming into the changing scene, and the sign advertises Paul's Car and Auto Parts Shop. I wonder if it could possibly be our dear old classmate Paul Meaux. Wait - now, we see the owner driving up. Yes. it is Paul and he is still driving his brown and white Ford even though it is over twenty years old. Oh! What arrange glow the crystal ball has! We see waves and a ship rolling on the sea. As the picture becomes clearer we see the name of the ship is Reed’s Haven.” There seems to be a great deal of excitement on board the ship and as we go closer we see the captain of the ship and his wife. My, but she does look familiar. I do believe it is Frankie Lege. Yes, now I am sure the navy had such a great attraction for her husband that he has never left the sea. When they were married, their home was a steamliner, now crossing the Atlantic once a day. As our scene changes again, we see a radio station; and as our crystal ball takes us closer, we hear the beginning of a program. Let's listen in. Good day, dear friends. This is the Lonely Hearts Hour once again. And with us is your solver of all love problems. Are you thirsty for romance? Does your husband forget your anniversary? Send your problems to the Lonely Hearts Hour in care of this station; and Miss Helen will draw upon her own wide experiences to find a solution to your problem. Her first letter for today is signed by Miss Laverene Broussard and it says; Dear Miss Meaux, I need your advice. I have been going with this certain man for twenty-three years, but he still hasn’t mentioned marriage. Do you think his intentions are honor- able? To Laverene, Miss Meaux answers, Don't be impatient, my dear. Some men are just naturally shy. I would wait another two or three years; and then if he doesn't come to the point, it might be well to give him a little hint. For example, you might point out that two old age pensions would go further if expenses were combined. As the scene once again changes, we find ourselves back in our first grade class- room. Much to our luck, it is the first day of school. Things should really be popping. The bell has just rung; and as the class settles down, we see the teacher is Ina Overley. After majoring in education in college, Ina has returned to dear old Gueydan. Wait I see that she is having trouble with a certain young girl. I do think that she has kicked her on the leg. It seems that time is repeating itself, doesn't it? We now find that our crystal ball has taken us to a Fourth of July Rally. Let’s listen to the first speaker. Give me your votes, ladies; and I promise you that your govern- ment will see that every woman in America gets a free permanent twice a year, a weekly manicure, and a Tressime tint if she desires it. After all, every woman should be able to change her hair if she wants; and of course, the future well-being of the nation depends on keeping up the morale of the housewife. How can we find time to plan balanced meals for our husbands and children if we have to spend hours worrying about faded, straight hair, and chipped nail polish. As I refer to the program for the day, I see that we have just been listening to Mary Scanlan, first woman candidate for the Presidency of the United States. As we continue around the fair ground, we see a contest for a world championship title, but I can't make out what for. Let’s move in closer. Boy, what a stop that was. This is a thrill of a lifetime. This boy certainly has a steady hand and a keen eye. That’s what it takes; and unless I'm mistaken, Lloyd LePretre is going to walk away with this tournament, and emerge the new Tiddlely Winks champion of the world. As we leave the fair grounds, we make a complete change. We find that we are in the waiting room of the Belleview Hospital, waiting to see the famed Dr. Kildare. While waiting we see a nurse; my, but she does look familiar. I think I will go to the information desk and see if I know her. At the desk, I find out that it is Brenda Woods. Brenda is now Head Nurse at Belleview Hospital and Dr. Kildare's personal secretary. Maybe Brenda will be able to get us his autograph. After getting Dr. Kildare's autograph, we decide to leave and travel to a different place. Ah! Hollywood is our next stop, and we must get to see that famous movie star, Howard Schoultz, who is the main character in all of the latest movies. His latest movie was Roadrun- ner,” in which he played the part of the roadrunner. Well! Our crystal ball is quickly setting the scene, and we are now in Lake Arthur. Ah! Here is the mayor and his wife to greet us now. Why! I do believe it is Martha Broussard. Yes, I guess Martha never could decide to leave that Lake Arthur jacket and the boy who wore it. While in Lake Arthur we are going to have a chance to see the world's greatest basketball player; and -•' ’or not, it's a woman. Yes! It is Yvonne Carbello, who, after majoring in p - - n college, started the world's first professional women's basketball team. cation, and has consented to help out the coaches in this area. Well! vay, but it was so nice to have seen Yvonne once again. ;e to home, our crystal ball has decided to take us back to Gueydan duated. First we are taken to our old homerooms. First we go to nce it is now the fourth hour, we see a Bruin Staff meeting in prog- ken Miss Lucille's place. I do believe it is Jeanelle Fontenot. , it is Kennith Touchet! I guess, after being editor of our Bruin, with yearbooks that he gradually progressed to the position that Mr. his years in hi is sending the? in the library of dear old Gueydan, where many of us did timeless Iking, laughing, and being banned from the library for these reasons ! Why we have a man librarian now instead of Mrs. Carter. And who assmate David Abshire, who did so much work for the library during Oh! There is that familiar laughing and--Why! Even tempered David guess the policies of the library haven't changed. Let's go downli stairs to the office and see who’s there. Why! There is also a new sec- retary. and it seems like the principal's secretary is Marylin Broussard. I guess that many of our classmates have returned to dear old Gueydan for the memories which it once held for them. I guess we are to stay in our dear old state of Louisiana for a while, because we now find ourselves at Gulf Area Vocational Trade School in Abbeville, where Elaine Humble is serving as the supervisor. Elaine kept up her work and studies at the Trade School and after more than twenty years finally reached the top. Well! After not being used to this damp Louisiana climate, our dear old crystal ball is taking us out to the warm islands in the South Pacific. I guess we will end our journey here; but wait this isn’t the right island. This is an island the Navy is using to test its latest missiles! Oh! Now I see. We have two classmates who stayed together after high school and entered the navy to become high-ranking admirals. Ronald Broussard and Gene Lejeune are the officers in charge of this testing mission. Our crystal ball didn't want to leave anyone out so that was why we made that dangerous stop on that island. Well! Once again we are on our way to the end of our journey which has taken us into the future, for we all know that our crystal ball was simply someone's fountain pen in our Senior class; and it is slowly running out of ink. So our crystal ball has slowly lost its glow. T. LeBLANC B _BROUSSARD , Janitors CAFETERIA LADIES N. LEGE x.
