Damita, Sabrina and Anissa were but a few who arrived early. Duwanna Burse knows what it takes to be successful. Sometimes the day is oh, so boring” but Easton Eagles plow through, giving it their all. Connie Washington and a few of her friends show their one—in—a—million smiles. 8 • V-’W Rosa and Glenda Canales discussing their schedules ear- ly in the year The Eaglettes always lend a bit of sparkle to our games Cary Barard waits anxiously during the last few’ minutes of the game.

She is an Easton graduate herself and feels particularly close to the school and the students. Dr. Ferguson also attended the University of New Orleans where she received her Doctorate Degree in Education. Whether organizing her desk or addressing an assembly. Dr. Ferguson works hard. 18 Mrs. )nn Demas Mr Armand Devezin WORKS TOGETHER FOR EASTON The administrative team provides lead- ership and support for the instructional program. This active team works hard with students, parents and teachers to maintain academic excellence and to bring about meaningful changes for the ongoing improvement of the quality of life at Warren Easton. Team members consider it a privilege to have the opportu- nity to provide leadership to the young people at Easton. Mrs. Jean Demas attended Fisk Univer- sity in Virginia and the University of New Orleans. Warren Easton's reputation prompted her to move from Chemis- try to the post of Assistant Principal, which she now holds. She looks forward to a successful year, with hope for a bright tomorrow. Mr. Armand Devezin is in his second year as Assistant Principal at Easton. He attended Southern, Xavier and Loyola Universities, majoring in English Educa- tion and Administration. Mr. Devezin en- joys working at Easton, because he feels it is one of the best schools around. 19 COUNSELORS If you're having trouble planning your future, we have three of the best counsel- ors in the city to help you: Mr. Benjamin, Mrs. Duhe, and Mr. Latour. All three have Master's Degrees. If education isn't proof enough, years of experience is. Mrs. Duhe has been at Easton for thirteen years; Mr. Latour, ten years; and Mr. Benjamin, five years. Now that you know where to go when you have a problem academically, career wise, or just for guidance, take ad- vantage of their expertise. d Roland Benjamin Barbara Duhe Patrick Latour Debbie Howard A library is a place for research reading and enjoyment. Easton's library has an im- mense collection of books. Whether you are looking for that light fiction book for a rainy afternoon's reading, or a few books of the non-fiction variety to help with that term paper, chances are you will find what you want here. The resources it contains are quite extensive. From re-stacking, to cataloging, giving classwork on use of li- brary or conducting the Video and Li- brary Club meetings, our library staff is always busy.

PROUD EAGLES e have to live with ourselves, and so We want to be fit for ourselves to know. We want to be able, as days go by. Always to look ourselves straight in the eye; We don't want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate ourselves for things we have done. We want to go out with our heads erect. We want to deserve all men's respect. But here in the struggle for fame and self. We want to be able to like ourselves. We don't want to look at ourselves and know That we're empty inside with nothing to show. We don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about ourselves. And fool ourselves, as we come and go. Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of people we really are; We don't want to dress up ourselves in shame. We can never hide from ourselves. We see what others may never see. We know what others may never know; We never can fool ourselves, and so.

You see things and say, Why?” But I see things that never were And I ask, Why Not?” George Bernard Shaw Dreams sometimes seem illusive, and yet these dreams can reveal tiny sparkles of reality. A world of reveries exists in each of us, but the most significant dreams remain with great faith and strength. Nothing happens unless first a dream, and that makes it not a dream at all. 47 GERORE W. KELLER Jr. D.E.C.A. LAGWENDA KELLY COE—President BOBBY KENNEDY MICHAEL A. KENNDY Bank; D.E.C.A.

Our senior officers are special. For they share the quality to lead. And they work with and direct us, As the year passes with speed. Their effort is great and their time is measured, And we praise their thoughts and concerns, And we will look back and treasure, These officers and all they have earned.

Ju- niors are a rare combination of fun times and serious ambitions. Our ambitions range from becoming dancers to engineers; from writers to executives. We really know what we want out of life and we are taking the right steps to achieve our goals. We are serious when we need to be, and we make the most of everything we do. Even now we re making plans for our fun time. We re already dreaming about vacations, beaches, movies, and no homework. Those hazy, lazy summer days are fast approaching. And what about Graduation in '88? It real- ly is closer than you think.

On a freshmen survey which polled 100 freshmen, 78% picked the Cosby Show as their favorite television program. 43% picked Krush Groove as their favorite movie. 20% of those polled chose the Vieux Carre, or the French Quarter as it is better known, as their fa- vorite hangout; and a surprising 12% choosing home as their favorite hangout. The favorite musical act was Doug E. Fresh bringing in 20% with New Edition in a close second with 19%. Asked what they think about freshmen fashions, most of the freshmen agree that they are live. SH GROOVE LTvE? FRESH V SHOW I Andre Thomas Melissa Thomas Anika Tillman Kim Torregano Dwayne Vance Carla Williams Raechelle Williams Sonia Williams HOW DO YOU SPELL FRESHMEN? The 1985-86 school year has seen many new faces, Freshman from many Junior High Schools arrived this year. The freshmen say that they are enjoying to. The hardest adjustment to make, of course, is the dress code. From faded blue jeans and sweats to slightly more formal at- tire is a big adjustment in itself for anyone. The added worries of being in high school, more advanced classes, new surroundings, and new people all make life difficult for freshmen. Living the life of an Eagle is part of learning and these students are accomplish- ing more than ever before. From sports to student council. Honor Society to the choir, these freshmen have seen Easton as it really works. Through their involvement they have truly become Easton Eagles.

Easton students are full of school spirit during Homecoming Week, when the dress code is dropped and we all don our favorite costumes. Each day has a different theme: Fifty's Day turns out so many Fonzies, La- vernes and Shirleys that we really expect to hear the strains of Fats Domino's Blueberry Hill coming over the loudspeakers. Hobo day allows the Eagles to pull out all of the stops and use anything and everything as clothing. For the First time this year, we had Punk Rocker Day. There were so many Cyndy Lauper's about, one was never sure if the rock star had actually dropped in for a visit or not. All in all, dress-up week is one of our favorite times of the year, and in typical Easton style. Eagles participate all the way. Hobos were found everywhere; lurking in corners, and lounging in classrooms. Have you ever seen anything like it? Julie Ross and Fay Harrison don’t want to be left out! Wonder what these folks had for lunch? 140 Tammy Meilleur sports her NIFTY FIFTY'S look. And this man is a teacher?

As the Homecoming Court waved to the stopped traffic and parade goers, our Band kept up the pace with their well rehearsed and bouncy renditions of some popular songs.

Dr. Ferguson recognized the efforts of parents and teachers alike, stressing the points that students must be accountable themselves for their school success and fail- ures. Parents visited with teachers in the gym, which was a pleasant experience for all. Re- freshments in the cafeteria topped off the evening. Patrice and her parents take time to pose for a family Most students really enjoy introducing their parents to portrait while Mrs. Demas decides to take a peek at their teachers, the many pamphlets on display. 158 Mr. Armand Devezin with a parent, discuss the meaning of good behavior to a students future success. Easton's trumpet section really blew us out. Dr. Ferguson's introduction and speech were, as always, inspiring and helpful. She presented a plaque of apprecia- tion to Mrs. Brown, outgoing President of the Parents Co-Op Club. 159 BLOOD DRIVE The Blood Drive was held on Nov. 5,1985. Our students usually look forward every year to participating in the drive. The students always support this school sponsored drive because they know where their duties lie. If you can save someone's life by just giving one pint of blood, you know you've done your part. And Easton Eagles always do their fair share. Mr. Hill gives blood with ease. Rochelle Simpson waits eagerly to donate. Terri Mickle relaxes after her donation. Everyone receives orange juice and cookies afterward to help restore the body sugars. 160 161 DO THEY KNOW IT’S ---CHRISTMAS---- Warren Easton's Christmas celebration was held on Dec. 19, 1985. Ms. Demarest, who conducted the Christmas program, did a splendid job. The choir, band, drama club, and Asian club were all terrific. The persons who participated in the Christmas program should be commended. We're hoping next year will be a greater success. Tran Bui shows everyone that she also has talent. Zaron Griddle will really get a swerve out of his skate board, as Angela Roby looks on. 162 WHAT IT WAS ... WHAT IT IS Phyllis Diller did it, Joan Collins prob- ably does it, and now our school is doing it. We are getting a facelift! And a good one at that. Renovation started at the be- ginning of this school year with the help of Sheriff Foti and a crew of his inmates. The halls of Warren Easton are smiling once again after the successful renovation. Many men dedicated their time, determi- nation, and talent to make this gesture. We'd like to thank the inmates and guards for their terrific work in restoring this school to its former beauty; beauty that has been lost for decades. 166 CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS OF 86 from MARGARET DIAZ class of ’85 Best of Luck 167 Congratulations to my friends Tina A. of 86 Patrice L.

Everyone from our new mayor Sidney Barthelemy to singing legend Irma Thomas made an appearance, letting us become part of their lives. Informative speeches, entertaining dances and singing were all a part of the important month s activities. AND SHARE ... 2 OUR DIFFERENCES The Asian club brought to us their celebration of New Year, TET. We were delighted to share in this major holiday with our Asian students. Native dances and singing by the Asian club provided the entertainment. Pan American Week found us again being entertained by the native dancers of many of the hispanic countries. The colorful costumes enlivened the ballet. Again during Black History Month we were treated to the splendid costumes of the Tchoupitulous Indians. This club parades during Mardi Gras but work hard all year long, sewing the thousands of beads which make the costumes shimmer and add a unique display to the season. 3 SPRING MOVES IN Spring time in New Orleans brings so many activities to Warren Easton. With the coming of warmer weather and blossoming flowers comes the National Honor Society Recognition program, Foreign language Contests (and Winners for us this year!) and the Spring Concert with the Choir treating the parents and students to a musical night. 4 r i Sports teams always have their award banquets held during the spring, a much awaited social function for both students and team coaches. This spring also brought to Warren Easton an honor. We were chosen to help blow up the balloons for the big Liberty Ride Festival celebration. 5000 of them in all—we always knew we had more hot air than anybody else! 5 EAGLES SLIDE INTO 1st ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP The Warren Easton Eagles baseball team captured the first round 10 AAAA title by defeating the McDonogh 35 Roneagles by 11 to 1. Then, before we even knew it they moved into the second round of district play with a well played 21 to 0 win over the Tro- jans. They continued play throughout the season; hitting hard, running full speed ahead. Coaches Costa and Robinson are to be congratulated as well as team members.

We've studied for exams, written tons of papers, worried about grades and spent tearful nights in fear ... But now it is Senior Day; a time for awards, laughter and sharing. We have of course, the Prom and Graduation to attend yet, but this day is special; this day is ours alone. Dr. Barbara Ferguson receives a kiss and flowers from members of the '86 yearbook staff. Roy Montague received a scholarship from the military. 10 AND GRACE MADE FOR CINDERELLAS 'V-' ••v GRADUATION WHAT THOUGH THE RADIANCE WHICH WAS ONCE SO BRIGHT BE NOW FOREVER TAKEN FROM MY SIGHT THOUGH NOTHING CAN BRING BACK THE HOUR OF SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, OF GLORY IN THE FLOWER; 14 15 CONGRATULATIONS 86 SENIORS from NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY THE YMCA YOUTH LEGISLATURE SALUTES THE CLASS of '86 CONGRATULATIONS TO ANTONIO PHILLIPS from THE YMCA BEST WISHES ANTONIO and THE CLASS OF ’86 Martin Bunch CONGRATULATIONS SUCCESS LUCK from Dorothy 1986 SOFTBALL TEAM CONGRATULATIONS ANTONIO PHILLIPS from WANDA SMITH BEST WISHES TO THE SENIOR CLASS YMCA ANTONIO PHILLIPS We wish you all the Best for your Future Dr. Saul Kahn CONGRATULATIONS to THE CLASS OF '86 MAMIE THE SPIRIT GROUPS HIGH STEPPERS MAJORETTES FLAGTWIRLERS WHAT A YEAR!
