Hornbeck High School - Hornet Yearbook (Hornbeck, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1964 volume:

• r •- ' • The future belongs to those daring adventurers who sail their ships boldly into the years ahead; to those who are not afraid to venture new ideas; to those who have the courage to try for big things; to those who give them- selves unselfishly to their chosen tasks. Presented by the HORNET STAFF of 1964 Principal’s Message Congratulations to the HORNET staff and sponsor for a job well done. This year’s annual truly catches the spirit of Hornbeck High School and puts it in print and picture. In the years to come we can relive the school year of 1964 by browsing through this yearbook. My sincere best wishes to the staff, student body, and faculty in the coming year. 'few Superintendent’s Message Dear Friends: May I take this opportunity to commend each of you for the splendid job that has been done in the production of this attractive yearbook. It bespeaks of a high-type program and reflects many outstand- ing accomplishments in education characterized by everyone in your school. I hope you will use these many and varied experi- ences as a firm foundation upon which to build and grow, and there will be an ever increasing pride in this school which made it possible for you to par- ticipate in so many educational activities. Your teacher, parents and associates will watch your future progress with great in- terest because your success will also be the success of all who have worked with you. Let me express my sincere appreciation to everyone of you for the effort that made this comprehensive, informative yearbook possible. Sincerely, Curtis Bradshaw, Superintendent Vernon Parish Schools Dedication We, the annual staff of 1964, proudly dedicate this annual to our sponsor, Mrs. Iva Lois West.

And now that we present this edition of the Hornet we are proud of what this work has meant to us. It has required the co-operation of our sponsor, students, staff, and those who have contributed their support through ad- vertisement. We wish to thank you who have helped us. The challenges of higher learning, adventure, and new worlds to conquer lie immediately before the members of the Senior Class. May we meet these challenges with courage, faith, and steadfastness of purpose. S$ udUiu Editor TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY ---—.
