However, if 1 am allowed the privilege, I would like to offer this message to the senior class of 1957 as a dedicated theme for all Easton graduates. Debates have been raging for many years as to whether or not the most important factor in our educational lives is brains or capacity. Here at Warren Easton it has always been capacity and capacity it always will remain. In order that we understand the difference between both, brains is a gift and capacity is acquired. Capacity represents human efforts and not merely something which came by inheritance. In a democracy such as ours, one should not be honored or praised because of his inheritance, but should be honored because of his sincere efforts toward using to full advantage all of his God- given qualities. Nothing useful or helpful has come from brains alone. They come from the concentration of effort, the development of skill from the qualities which we sum up in the one word—capacity. To you—Seniors and Graduates of 1957—carry this message with you and your years at Warren Easton will have been the most productive of any. HARRY T. GARLAND MR. JIMMIE DEAN V ice Principal Whatever the weather, whatever the mood, Easton’s Office Staff views variety in the job as part of a normal day’s work. Experts in efficiency, Mrs. Katherine Ane and Mrs. Primrose Head, the Secretaries, keep the office wheels turning. The psychology of human behavior offers prob- lems that demand brains and patience— that is the work of the popular Mr. Dean whose tact and talent endear him to both Faculty and students. The Office Staff Miss Eunice Durr and Mr. H. Smith, Counselors, record 'The heartaches and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.” Mrs. K. Ane and Mrs. P. Head SECRETARIES That “It’s always fair weather” when “Good fellows’ at Easton “get together is a proved fact . . . See the smiles when they gather for a Faculty Meeting.

Participating in the government of Easton, promoting school spirit, and cooperating closely with the Faculty are some of the aims of the Student Council, sponsored by Miss D. Maness. An Executive Council, composed of club presidents, presents prob- lems and requests to the Student Council for discussion and action. Such activity is a living democracy, operating as a city, and a state, under the Federal Government. 22 I Home fronmhe “Came, these students fair Shrink from the wind which blows—a chill air.

The Club has had an active year, participating in projects of philan- thopic and utilitarian nature. It meets once a week under the sponsorship of Miss Rosemary Tafaro. The present membership numbers forty girls, selected for scholarship, personality, school spirit, and other qualities of leadership. It is the Jun- ior Pilot Club of America.

A very active KEY CLUB at EASTON combines pleasure with philanthropy, participating in school activities and extracurricular such as helping the handicapped and less fortunate. A KEY CLUBBER can always be depended upon to represent his school. ft •f The Key Club Sponsors, Carleen Owen, left: Betsy Gould, and Diane Burge put up posters for the big Key Club trip on the Pres- ident. This tour up the Mississippi is a big attraction for natives and tourists. Key Clubbers pitch in and “climb high” to get ready for the dance at the Lyon’s Center. FRIDAY NIGHT DECEMBER 7 All Key Clubbers collect magazines and paper backs, which they screen carefully before they distribute them in wards at the local hospitals. 27 Every Monday after school, the BOWLING CLUB meets at Fazzio’s. The officers are: PRESIDENT L. Trenchard; VEEP, B. W'ilkes; Secretary, M. Carter, and Treasurer, C. Bearden. The Club participates in three annual tourna- ments—Citywide Christ- mas Tournament; the Mile-O-Graphic; and the WARREN EASTON League. Each week minia- ture bowling pins are awarded to a boy and a girl for performing cer- tain skills. A. C. Walden picks up a spare. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION recently organized by Miss ROSEMARY TAFARO consists of students who are interested in Gym as outside activities and recreation. Officers are: AMELIA STOLLTE, Secretary; VERA ACOSTA. Veep: SUE TAYLOR. President; and PATSY WATTS. Treasurer. This club will “PLAY BALL” in intra- mural games.

An impressive program, highlighting the year, is that of the CANDLELIGHT CEREMONY for candidates of the QUILL AND SCROLL SOCIETY. Eastonj; group is named for Lyle Saxon, noted New Orleans author. Since February 24, 1952, both publications have increased in quality and quantity, boasting of awards and interest. OLD GOLD AND PURPLE, Easton’s school paper, is the oldest high school pub- lication in the South. THE EAGLE, Annual, is prepared and published by a Staff, inde- pendent of the journalism class. When Easton became Co-ed in 1952, a new EAGLE boasted of brain, beauty and brawn. Today, the Staff is composed of interested students from all classes who sacrifice their free periods and holidays to produce a work of which they are truly proud. Both publications are members of the Na- tional Scholarship Press and Quill and Scroll. It is the him of the Club to foster worthwhile projects. To the right.

Under Professor A. Valentino each individual must maintain high standard of performance. The marching hand draws its members from the student body which furnishes the lively music for the football and Carnival seasons, climaxing the school year with a special music festival. Right: Professor Valentino steps up tempo of the Fight Song, as the team approaches the gridiron. The EAGLES defeated Nicholls, 45-0. The Easton Team and the Flag Twirlers perform with zest for the half-time show. EASTON defeats FORTIER—31-0. The Flag Twirlers are a unique unit, creation of Professor Valentino.

BETTY WEAVER Activities Editor PENNY MILLER Typist “Want to be an artist? Want to get rich quick? Enroll in Joe Blow’s Correspondence School of Art NOW! Learn to draw straight lines and magnolias in 13 easy lessons. You don’t need to have talent! Just scribble a few doodles here and a few more there; loaf a while and talk a lot; soon you’ll wrind up right on top.” Oh yeah? That’s what you think! Better ditch the above pitch, pal; it’s the soft- soap whine of the ad-man’s line, for “art was never learned in a day.” Young men and women striving for careers in art spend several years learning the fundamentals and advanced phases of art. Unlike college art courses, high school art calls for the training of America’s youth in the use of art as a hobby in their 50 leisure moments. Here at Easton High the art courses are divided into two main groups: basic and advanced. The basic courses teach the principles of design, letter- ing, the theory of color, the basic system of light and shade, perspective, how to see and draw, etc., etc. In the advanced courses creative thinking and techniques in the various art media are stressed. How to paint in oils, water-color, tempera, and pastels; how to create a statue out of wood, plaster, or clay; making personalized jewelry; etc., etc. are taught. Loafers are not welcomed and fall by the wayside of failure, for the road to Art is rough though interesting and rewarding. Setting the pace to perfection are such outstanding Eastonites as Genie Riley, Roland Juge, Gale Tucker, Jim Kinkley, Irma Kennedy, Fred Wilbert, et al. —advertisement— 51 EASTON ARTISTS PAR EXCELLENCE All of these young people, thru their creations, have proven themselves tops in high school art. Seated on the floor is Sherwood Beatty, who is good in both drawing and metalcraft. In the first row we have Maxine McGehee, pastellist; Eddie Scanlan, pencil-sketching specialist; Betty Guidry, sculptress; and Roland Juge, cartoonist extraordinary. The second row features Joe Mastainich, Joan Kuhn, and Irma Ken- nedy, water-colorists; and John O’Donnell, metalcrafter. In the third row are: Robyn Dunn, oil painter and sculptor; Fred Wilbert, painter in tempera; Gale Tucker, water colorist; and Jim Kinkley, pastellist. Collectively or individually, they comprise Eas- ton’s “cream of the crop” in high school art. Absent from the art group is Genie Riley, virtuoso in many an art media. a : „v-v |C«fET£K v V CWf'' - 'Jr L[f DON'T LET IT GET LIKE THIS!

Roland graduated from St. Rose de Lima and spent his freshman year at Samuel J. Peters. His hobbies are tape recording, movie and still photography, and art (wherein he is expert in the handling of pencil, pen-and-ink. and water color). When Easton finally bids him farewell in ’58, Juge hopes to embark on his most cherished interest: animated cartooning as a career. 53 “DIGEST DA makes a terrific appeal to Mrs. Meek’s Sophs, who read articles from the Reader's Digest and conduct worthwhile discussions. Classes ENGLISH AT EAS- TON strives to develop self expression, stimulate interest in good reading, and master clear com- munication. To this end. we have tried to capture the MOODS of English in action. Finding figures of speech from the story “Leaders of the People” keeps the juniors in Miss Stanley’s class alert and busy. In Mr. Tate’s Senior English class, these students are reading lyrics for further analysis and appreciation. Classes OF SCIENCE COVER GENERAL SCI- ENCE, CHEMISTRY, BIOL- OGY, PHYSICS a combina- tion aimed at giving the pupil a rich background from which he may later select a career. A group of physics students seriously assemble for the trimester test. Mr. Sheeren is the instructor. In the Visual-Aid darkened room, a biology class of Mr. Bonnette’s learns about the life habits of the mosquito, from a film especially made for the science classes. This crowded lab is proof of Mr. Eberle’s popularity as a chemis- try professor. Field trips supplement class work. 56 s c i e n c e Classes What is the MOOD OF MATH? With a total of at least six different courses in Math, Easton- ites master Einstein, Eu- clid, Eudoxus. So, the MOOD must be trium- phant. Easton views MATH as the “mirror of civilization, tracing it from prehistory to “fly- ing” spheres. Did someone read “The Dawn of Nothing or How ALGEBRA began”? Something surely is budding here. The earliest geometrical problems arose from the need of a calendar to regulate the seasons. Who knows how and when it (geometry) will end? And is it PLANE for the SOLIDS? Below—Someone said that we can use TRIG to determine the size of the world. “. . . the stars are setting, and the caravan starts for the DAWN OF NOTHING . . . Oh. make haste.” “Get ready. Go!” and they’re off. Speed in typing is valuable when it is combined with accuracy. That’s the goal for these gals. Classes Typing notes in Shorthand Two means precision and effi- ciency, “musts” in Commer- cial work. Miss E. Harzan's students are almost ready for positions in the Business World. Poring over the intricacies of “Bookkeeping” is a step toward Business Administration as a career. Miss M. Seiler gives personal help as she checks the sets and explains the correction. Classes Mind and machines make Clerical Practice a very profit- able course. Under Mrs. Mc- Rae. “practice makes per- fect,” and big business is a career. Business Math is a general course aimed at specific emphasis on topics such as fractions, per- centage, and others which make the adding of two and two extremely simple, but exceedingly useful. When Mrs. Levy explains English, the writing of letters, orders, etc., all essential to a thorough Business Course, the pupils know that they have accomplished something in the best “possible” way. 59 Speech “OUR MISS BROOKS,” her students.

Every class is a mood of interest. “Stitch, stitch, stitch” is the pleasant sound of machines at work. vT Classes INDUSTRIAL ARTS embraces Mechanical Drawing, Woods, and Metals—courses in crea- tive craftsmanship. The demand for these courses proves their value. A finished professional product is this table, one of hundreds in the Woods Shop, under Mr. Young. There is nothing too large or intricate for the Machanical Drawing inspired and directed by that well-liked Prof. Hyman. Modernistic “metals” are designed and made by the boys’ eager pupils of Mr. White. 64 s o P h s Latin is anything but dead, as Dr. Claudel's classes are very alert, and eager to master it.

GARLAND; and COACH BILLY BRINKMAN. 73 JOE ZIMMER MAP MARKS, in the 1955 ( JOE ZIMMERMAN (31) carries tIi« ball, as EARL LE SAICH- ERRE (38) blocks for first drive in the HOLY NAME GAME. o t “TESSIE TERRELL runs off tackle as ZIMMERMAN (31) KAHN (40) and EGAN (46) rush HOLY NAME’S de- fense.

JIMMY MILLER (13) a fine defensive player, plays offensive posi- tion in De La Salle game. A view of EASTON’S bench shows players as they watched their teammates battle Boga- lusa fo a tie. THE EAGLE S’ STARTING ELEVEN FOR 1 956 ARE: LINEMEN, (left to right) GLENN CHEN- EY ERT, JAY EGAN, BOB FISHER, LENNY KAHN, BOBBY MAY- LON. JUDE FRITSCH- ER, AND GALE LU- SIGNAN. Backfield: WARREN “B U L L” MIGAUD, EARL LE SAICHERRE, BOBBY “TESSIE” TERREL, AND JOE ZIMMER- MAN. ALL EASTON hails THESE FIVE BOYS “ALL PREP FOR ’56” (left to right) W. MI- GAUD, J. ZIMMER- MAN, J. EGAN, L KAHN, AND G. LUS- IGAN. JAY EGAN and LEN- NY KAHN were picked by the “PICA- YUNE” as “ALL PREP” for both teams. LENNY was named CAPTAIN by the press, TV, and radio. CONGRATULATIONS, TEAM. And another basketball game begins . . . ’Tis the time for wishing hard, as points are in the making. DOSKEY again takes five! JOHNNIE MARSHALL of the JUNIOR TEAM gets two 78 points. What is Fortier doing here? Doskey does it again. Good boy! GET THAT BALL! EASTON’S BASKETBALL IS PROUD OF ITS RECORD. 79 Introducing the Easton Eaglets, Easton’s “B” Team, left to right: Lance Greenwald, Jimmie Shields, John Marshall, Robert Terrell, Ferdinand Clark. John Marshall aims for the basket in the Fortier-Easton game. The Easton Eaglets remain the lone undefeated team in the Public Junior League, defeating Fortier 60-53. Indoor ball, probably the most popular of all the seasonal sports, can be played outside even in mid-winter; the Land of Sunshine makes possible every type of sport for which NEW ORLEANS is famous. Girls of Easton take advantage of the weather and welcome every opportunity to play “ball.” Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. M. Birchett and Miss Rosemary Tafaro an alert and determined group of girls work toward a bigger and better future. The entire enrollment of girls com- bine interest with eagerness in a well- rounded schedule of lectures and physical activities. Among the many features of the pro- gram are square dancing, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, baseball, first aid, and multitudinous other sports. 81 Players anxiously await tip-off in this Basketball game. Shuffleboard is an individual sport that provides recreation in school and out of school. Promenade! Girls go round to the tune of “OH, JOHNNY!” in the square dance class. 83 nr ' j� f : Ping pong is a recreational activity that does double-duty in all kinds of weather, on the campus or in the basement. Volleyball is a favorite pastime and a much-shared activity which is essential to. good social adjustment. All eyes watch Nora Rossi spike the ball. Just goofing around for the photographer who came just before the bell, these girls 84 seem to enjoy the pose. A composite of creeds and nationalities is the American Public School, of which Easton is no exception. Left to right: Adelia Borgen, Nicaragua; Nora Rossi, Honduras; Lily Tsai, China; Sophia Theordora, Greece; Francis Wheeler, Jamaica; Anna Theordora, Greece. Second row: Robert Awod, Honduras, Rafael Figueroa, Guatemala; Alonzo Saenz, Costa Rica, A. Awod, Honduras. Just a group of children of Easton Alumni are these. Their Dads were the brain and the brawn of good old Easton. Left to right, front row: J. Boizelle, J. Vorhaff, B. Gould, L. Thomas, M. Smith, H. Blum, M. Allen, B. Camba, and C. Tedesco. Second row: S. Gordon, D. Etheridge. Back row: V. Flynn, A. Blakenship, H. Gordon, L. Greenwald, J. Landry, F. O’Sullivan, H. Delauno, M. Abrahm, and R. Keiffer. In a zany mood, the photographer, between Girls’ Gym and Boys’ Gym, caught some unawares. In the medley one may find dreams, goals, and whatever you may wish to put into the picture. i f ° Ry IB E £ Balancing a budget is nothing to balancing beauties—no won- der they’re up in the clouds. No wonder Pluto The Purp is perplexed??? MARSHALL ■� « 9 mouse's dream m }4i A; 4 1 _ AM . uj s if i j i He’s 16-year-old Johnny Mar- shall. Jr. a second-unit guard and, like the Waves Wonder Boy Newton, this Mouse does things in a big way. Take a peek at that “Mouse’s Dream.” Young Johnny doesn’t see much game time with the Eagles. He’s only a Sophomore, but when he lays his crewcut head to a pillow at night his dreams are limited to football, Easton and stardom, in that order. In a mood of intellectual curiosity, students find the library just the spot for study and research. Food for thought is furnished by Mrs. Roby, librarian, always ready and anxious to help. The mood at lunch is a mixture of flavoring food with sweet tidbits of gossip. Surely these Eastonites enjoy lunchtime. 87 s a new nay is onrn jor me, For you; There's no MOOD in nature So LOVELY jo see.
