Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1980 volume:

— 2 ZJa(j[z oj- (2on.tz.nti dd acuity and cdtdmini±txation cdlctiuitis.iL 2 2 29 5? 79 ; 6 152 177 It is with extreme pleasure that the 1979-1980 yearbook staff dedicates this year’s edition to: Mr. Gordy Holt A man who has so greatly influenced the lives of his students. He has on numerous occasions, gone beyond the line of duty in his work. As an educator, Mr. Holt dared to encourage bright ideas and new thought proc- esses with his students. He saw enough in his pupils to expect from them the very best. He helped each individual student to believe more in themselves, and to realize their potential to its very fullest. The world outside of high school poses many fears in the teenage mind. Mr. Holt helped prepare his students for their futures. He has exemplified patience, wisdom, and extreme concern. As a man, Mr. Holt laughed with us, shared and listened to us. He has sacrificed so very much of himself and yet, he asks so very little for his behalf. All his efforts were for either the betterment of the students, faculty or school. It is with sincere gratitude that we salute Mr. Gordie Holt. We, at Leesville High School, will forever remember this fine, upstanding man. Dedication 3 d J i6uhu vjatzx cotox mzrrLoxLzi zScattzxza fiLctuxz± Superintendent — C. Creighton Owen Superintendent’s Message It is with great pleasure that I commend the year- book staff for their efforts in producing this excel- lent record of the past school year. Theirs has been a unique task: that of viewing objectively the school’s activities while at the same time participat- ing in them. These young people and their faculty advisers have combined creative ability and a great degree of dedication in accomplishing the goals they set months ago. For their special efforts we are grate- ful, because in years to come the 1979-80 year- book will only increase in its value to us. Like the yearbook staff, our faculty, staff and stu- dents throughout the parish have worked diligently to achieve their goals also. Significant progress is evident in our school system as we review past months, and I am pleased that we have met our challenges well. Our nation’s homes and schools are greatly responsible for America’s position of world leader- ship. As we enter a new decade, the 1980's, let us take stock of our country’s goals and prepare our- selves for even higher levels of proficiency and pro- ductivity. I wish for each of you much success. Sincerely, C. Creighton Owen Superintendent A. C. Dowden School Board Members C. A. Hughes t. A. Hoffpauir 13 LHS Principal The poet Robert Burns wrote, 0 wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us. To see oursels as ithers see us!” During this past school year, many have seen us. One, Dr. John Anthony Scott; author, lecturer of the Graduate School of Law of Rutgers University, and National Humanities Faculty member, commented about LHS in a national publication, I left a visit there with a sense of peace.” What brings peace? Dignity, selflessness, hon- est friendship and justifiable, yet unobtrusive oride. brina Deace. These are not aoals or chal- pride, bring peace. These are not goals or chal- lenges. They are a pace or tone set by persons or groups. If others, visitors from California to New Jersey, saw in us attributes which could give them “peace” then the credit, in large measure must go to the Class of 1980. If we truly “Dared to Excel,” if we are an example for other schools to emulate, if we are the best AAA School in Louisiana — look to the Seniors of ’80. They make us so. Best wishes and God bless each of you.
