BARBARA FERGUSON PRINCIPAL Ambitious, hardworking and outgoing, Dr. Barbara Ferguson is a principal to be proud of. She attended Warren Easton as a student and has gone on to receive her Doctorate degree in Education from UNO. Dr. Ferguson enjoys being an Easton Eagle. With her attendance at every school dance and every sports event, she reinforces the motto of every Easton Ea- gle: Catch that Eagle Spirit Whether she is dressed up for Punk Rock Day or running in a marathon, Dr. Ferguson keeps her spirit up and passes it on to others. She and Mrs. Crier ran, as Easton's representatives, in the Corporate Cup Marathon. Prior to her run in the New York Marathon, she was presented with a Good Luck balloon by Mrs. Cheryl Huckaby and the TR1-HI-Y club. 18 ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS MRS.JEAN DEMAS DR. HAROLD WEISER Mrs. Jean Demas attended Fisk University and UNO. As a former chemistry teacher at Easton, she believes that, ... Easton is one of the best schools in the system. She enjoys working with students, their scheduling and their future plans. Dr. Harold Weiser may be new to Easton but he has 25 years of Orleans Parish Schools experience behind him. As a former teacher of Social Studies, he understands the importance of hard work. Easton develops leaders and productive citizens. 19 COUNSELORS .. . COPING WITH A BUSY DAY Our Counselors have years of experience behind them. Mr. Benjamin has been at Eas- ton for five years, Mrs. Duhe for thirteen and Mr. Latour for ten. They each have so much to cope with, from helping you plan your future to reports for the school board. Yet they always find the time to sit down and have a chat, listen to your problems and move into action to help you the best way they can. They are here to help, and they do. I Mr. Benjamin confers with Senior Pat Green about her future plans. The counselors certainly are helpful with those complicated and confusing college entrance applications. The counselors also plan an extensive Career Day each year. Here, Mrs. Duhe goes over the schedule for that day. Each student must visit with three representatives from colleges or companies. Mr. Latour goes over CTBS grades with Junior Keisha Hampton. These grades arc important to your future. 20 IN THE KNOW' THE LIBRARY Benjamin Franklin once said, There is no better friend than a book . Reading not only teaches, it gives new insight and develops the mind. At Warren Easton reading is an essential part of our school experience. Our librarians, Mrs. Betty Schaefer and Victor Klein are always ready to assist students and teachers with research. There is a varied collection of books, magazines and video material for use for study or pleasure. Mrs. Schaefer has been upgrading our selections for a few years. I really love this school and its people.” She must, because she does her jobs (there are so many) with true EAGLE spirit. Mr. Klein says Passing on knowledge is a positive contribution, and the best qualities one can pass on are self-respect and motivation. OUR CLERICAL STAFF HAS THE SPIRIT Whether it is a broken down Xe- rox machine, the monthly newslet- ter or the daily bulletin these staff members really get a work out ev- ery day. They keep our school run- ning smoothly, are always ready with a smile, a helping hand or a word of encouragement. Mrs. Brenda Rotherham, our school sec- retary, manages the numerous forms that each day must be sent into the school board. Ms. Odidia Condiff, Ms. Bauer and Mrs. Char- lene Lacoste are patient with stu- dents and teachers who are always running out of supplies. Mrs. Debra Howard keeps the Counselors' day organized while Mrs. Iris Burns keeps her eye on the library, cata- loging new books and checking on the whereabouts of the old ones. With dedication and true Eagle spirit, our clericals really do keep the school in order. Ms Catherine Bauer. Office Clerk Mrs. Iris Burns. Library Clerk Ms. Odelia Condiff. Office Clerk Mrs. Debra Bickham-Howard. Counselor's Clerk Mrs. Cherlene Lacoste. Office Clerk Mrs. Brenda Rotherham. Secretary ACADEMICS. Such a time consuming part of the school da But at Warren Easton it is a pan that is administrated by fair anu helpful people. The Administrators and teachers, the clerical staff, librarians, subs and aides all are here to help. And help they do. Without our Faculty and Staff, we’re just any school. They give us our Eagle Spirit, our pride in ourselves. They are the ones who have shown us, through their dedication and help, what it truly means to be a member of the Warren Easton family.

Members of the video club must be everywhere, even perched atop a school bus to get those pictures. When the yearbook staff had to say goodbye to David Romeo, they made it a lasting memory. Lucky Dave! Mrs. Ruth Creech, Itinerant Teacher Ms. Sherrell White, Substitute Ms. Mary Kay Meintcl, Speech Therapist Ms. Gloria Pierce, School Nurse ds, W faces For the Freshmen, Warren Easton is a new challenge. Books, friends, a dress code, teachers; all new, exciting, perhaps a bit frightening, but easy to get used to. Most new Eagles fit right in and wonder how they ever got along without being an EASTON EAGLE. 26 I Ms. Anna Tillage, Sp. Educ. Aide Mrs. Rosemary Dennis, Sp. Educ. Aide Mrs. Elyria Blunt, Sp. Educ. Aide Ray Jones. Security Guard r f Sometimes the day is so filled with activ- J ity we rush about, busy with school and forgetting about ourselves. Michelle Johnson, senior and President of this year's senior class takes a few moments for grooming, before that ever impor- tant time, LUNCH! Part of being a senior is putting forth tremendous effort. Students in Ms. Ste- phens' Free Enterprise Class seem totally engrossed in their assignment. They real- ly have to be. as Free Enterprise is, as always, a requirement for graduation. LUNCH TIME! National Lunch week was celebrated at Warren Easton the week of October 13th. The theme this year was It Makes a World of Difference . The cafeteria workers and the entire school celebrated with costumes and ethnic foods.

Sometimes work can be fun. as Roy Bradley can tell you. He is always around, camera in hand. Anne Lockridge protrays the third apparition from Macbeth while taking her Senior exam in Ms. Demarest's class. Roselyn Ford, another senior, looks ready, and even eager to conquer her exam, and perhaps the world. The students really seemed to enjoy dressing the part of the characters of Macbeth to take the exam on Macbeth. What an innovative idea Ms. D. Classes at Easton are always busy. The class may be all no-nonsense, every minute spent in the assignment of the day. or it may be light hearted with a sense of play up front, but always a deeply committed to education. 31 A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN EASTON EAGLE AT WORK OR PLAY. .. WE SHARE OUR DAY What a difference twenty-four hours can make. Almost anything can happen; there are so many things to do! Yearbook staff members Stephanie Bonnet, Lisa Bousqucto, Danielle Nicholas and David Romeo worry about selling that yearbook merchandise before the big Homecoming festivities. Seniors Cathy Johnson and Leslie Gross are pre-occupied with Senior supplies. They enjoyed the day when the Senior shirts were handed out by Coach Costa. Students are even busy before school starts in the fall; orientation, schedules. I.D. pictures. Football season seems to be really popular, even with the spectators who show up, en masse for those early season games. Little do we know what is in store for us during the year. Football fan Jerome Vining had no idea he would be elected Homecoming king and Mr. Easton. Lunch is always an important aspect of the day. Only Freshmen are required to eat in the Cafeteria, but the place is always packed—the favorites being the spaghetti, tacos and the delicious gumbo. As 3:15 rolls around, there is always a crush at the bus stop, but usually time to share our thoughts, or victories, our disappointments. That's what is important; being a part of the fun and family of Warren Easton. 33 PAUL ALLEN BENNY ALVAREZ EDWARD ALVAREZ TROY AMBEAU KARLA AMEDEE ONORIA ANARIBA WALTER ARDON DIANE AUDLER 36 ANTHONY BROWN ROY BRADLEY STEPHANIE BONNET BARRY BROWN FLOYD BROWN 38 39 OFFICERS ’87 I The senior class officers are among the top stu- dents in the school.

I could call someone but then again, who wants their friends to know they are home on a Friday Night!” We've all been there so we understand. Some Eagles find things to do, instead of just vegetating in front of the T.V. Seniors polled responded: Dana Sobers'Just wish I weren't alone. Alicia Baptiste..Buy myself a pizza and pig out!

Those expenses can really mount up. If they work they usually pay part of their budget themselves but if not, well, it is left up to Mom and Dad to pay for those shirts, prom dresses, dinners out, yearbooks etc., etc., etc.! This year, Mr. Costa and Miss Solomon, the Senior Class Sponsors, did their very best to lower the cost of the budget. But most Seniors realize that the things they want, the things that will gen- erate memories for their Senior year, cost. B. Quarlls: I knew it was coming very soon, but it came sooner than I could believe. P. Edwards: Now I know I can’t go to MB and buy, buy, buy.” V. Crier: ”1 don’t work, so I have to rely on my father. I realize now that I can't have everything.” S. Taylor: ”1 don’t work either...

They’ve pulled it together and are ready for '88. Drum major Delloyd McCoy leads the band in true Eagle Spirit and Style. Janella Hart and Jennifer Powell enjoy the many assemblies offered to the students. From theatre and history to music, Easton students are given every opportunity to learn. Lasting friendships are made here.

Homecoming can be such fun; but the strain of the day can sometimes be too much. We all work hard for the big day. The excitement takes in its toll. 73 This year, students from various states were given an opportunity to visit Wash- ington D.C. The Sophomores chosen had to express leadership academic excel- lence. We re proud to say our own Keisha Aguillard was the student chosen to repre- sent Louisiana. While in Washington, Keisha became the Head Cloakroom Page and Runner. As a page she answered the switchboard when votes were being taken during a session. Her duties as a runner consisted of delivering messages to differ- ent buildings. Keisha met the President and many congressmen. Her future plans include attending Howard University to study law.

Sometimes they talk on the phone with friends, or have to share their study time with noisy little brothers and sisters. We all know how we're suppose to study, but do we really do it that way? Sophomores polled replied: Iris Egana— 1 study in a nice quiet room. It is comfortable and I study for about an hour. Wesley Cincore— I take an hour and a half to to study, but yea, the radio is on.” Xanthippia Wright— The time depends on the subject. Angela Martin— I read the work over amd over. I'm in my own room, where it is quiet, but I must admit the TV is on, and I usually have a cold drink. Latoya Bridges— I listen to classical music on my head phones. Beethovan's Fifth symphony is best to study by. Darnell Plummer— I study in my own room, at my own desk. I listen to Rap, usually Run DMC. It helps.” Juan Caraccioli Bridgctte Cassine Tuyet Cao Annie Clark Dionne Coleman Kim Coleman Terrell Christmas Wesley Cincore Robin Connor Kenita Cotton Aunjel Crawford Aashayia Davis Charlotte Davenport Lisa Davis Iris Egana 78 Julie Elly Shane Eugene Ravin Fabre Nathan Favaroch Roselyn Ford Freddie Foster Marshall Foxworth Maurice Frank Guzay Galloway Tammy Garrett Sonjac George Manuel Gilbert Geroge Granger Cecelia Griffin Tiffany Harris 79 Lillian Harrison Nichollc Henry Tanya Henry Aracha Hammond Trosalind Hinton Shannon Hines Leslie Holden Ronn Hubbord Gail Hudson Rahsaana Ison David Jackson Michael Jackson Pamela Jackson Susan Jackson Keicia Jones 80 Roland Johnson Sonya Johnson Sabrina Jones Shanda Jordon Shannon Joseph Jamal Kelly Yisrcal Kendrick Elias Kirkland Tosha Kish Michelle Lafontaine Liticia Lange Carol Lewis Lorena Matutc Michelle Martin Sean Mater 81 Sophomore Kimberley Gray enjoyed homecoming week.

He is the senior class in his middle school. He is the leader; he sets the examples. He is looked up to by the other students in the school. By contrast a Freshmen in high school is in a new situation. He finds himself at the lower end of the underclassmen—he doesn’t know his way around. He has new rules to learn, a dress code to worry about. Seniors don’t date freshmen! Sometimes these students feel alone, lost and confused. But here at Easton, these freshmen work hard at belonging. They are friendly, open and interested. The other students have learned, long ago, that freshmen have a lot to offer. They are part of the Easton family. Freshmen enjoy being an Easton Eagle. It means growing up, joining in and being a part of something important.

Every school has it but nobody has it like Easton. The week of homecoming is always laid back. This is the only week of the year when the dressed code is relaxed and the students are given a chance to visually display their school spirit. Most students dress for at least one of the five days of costuming: Hobo Day. Punk Rocker Day. 50's Day, Dress-up Day and Purple and Gold Day. Mrs. Watson, a new teacher at Easton this year, hangs out with some of our students during an unscheduled fire drill on Punk Rocker Day. The fire department must have thought we had all lost our minds. Joseph Stelly. Jerome Vining, Loma Martinez, Stephanie Bonnet and Shondreeca Johnson regret that they have but one piece of clothing to give to their country! 98 Roy Bradley and Dwight Jones: Are you waiting to jump the 7:30 train to Kansas?

The jeans were starched, the poodle skirts ironed and W.E. was off to the hop. Punk Rocker Day let our imaginations fly. Fashion ranged from dark shades and chains, to lace and leather. The sights were neon bright, (to match the HAIR), and the Eagles proved that they are in the know. Seniors Loma Martinez, Lori Davis and Deborah Our teachers enjoy Spirit Week too.

HAS THAT EAGLE SPIRIT During an Eagle Pep Rally, Easton moves into high gear. We put down our pencils and books and slip into a world of excitement and pride. The band, cheerleaders, spirit groups and students all come together in one voice to support our teams; one voice cheering Warren Easton on to victory. Our Eagle Mascot takes time to pose for a photo during the Homecoming activities. It is an honor to be chosen to man the suit during Easton's most important week-long celebration. This year's Eagle of the Day was Kevin Daniels, an '87 senior. During the rally for the first-round play-off game for District AAAA, W.E. was visited by the B97 Bee. His frenzied dance and cheering kept the crowd in high spirits for the game. Cheerleaders Rita Washington Sc Pleshettc Austin, and Eaglettes Carmen Magee and Shondrecca Johnson joined in the fun. Yearbook staff member Erica Brown kept the spirit alive at the game. 103 ROYALTY SPARKLES INTO THE NIGHT KING AND QUEEN 86-87 Jerome Vining, our Homecoming King for 1986-87, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vining. He has been, in his three years at Easton, an outstanding student; who enjoys his classes, works hard and joins in. He is the treasurer of the Beta Club and includes among his hobbies jog- ging, bike riding and basketball. He plans to attend West Point Military Academy. Avril Williams, Queen for this year, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawerence Wil- liams. Avril has already begun to pursue her nursing career; she attends New Or- leans Center for Health Careers each after- noon. Avril would like to continue her career plans at Dillard University. She is an active Easton Eagle, always ready with a smile and a friendly word. She includes among her hobbies swimming and danc- ing. Avril and Jerome and indeed the crowd and team were delighted with the warm sunshiny day with which we were blessed for our Homecoming '86. Our newly crowned King and Queen added their own sparkle to the spectacle. Whether seated on their throne, or swaying to the Music of D.J. Twins of Spin, Avril and Jerome truly made a royal couple. Avril's dress of candlelight Pcau de Soie and re-embroidered Alencon lace was the creation of Shirley Williams, who managed to create all the dresses for the ladies of the court. 104 A DAY OF BEAUTY The Homecoming game and Dance were both unforgettable moments. The nine couples happily strolled across the field as they were introduced to the ex- cited crowds at Tad Gormley stadium. One week later, those same couples lent splendor and grace to the dance floor of the Royal Sonesta Hotel. Dressed in shades of lavender the maids added spar- kle to the evening. The young men would have made even Don Johnson envious. Our Homecoming '86-87 Queen. Avril Williams. surrounded by her handsome Dukes. Former Easton Queen and King. Elisha Picot and Ryan Johnson, took an active part in this year's Homecoming Parade and presentation at the game. Each returned from their first year in college to reign, however briefly, over the festivities before handing over their crowns to their successors. 106 A NIGHT OF SPLENDOR Jerome Vining, our Homecoming King for 86-87 never enjoyed himself more than he did that night. His lovely maids, all dressed in shades of lavender, surround him with smiles in the lobby of the Royal Sonesta. Behind stage, before the presentation, the Sophomore maids enjoy a relaxing moment together. 107 MR.

Dr. Barbara Fer- guson, Principal and Mrs. Love of the Parent teacher organization spoke of the importance of education, the parents' role and the students' responsibilities. Presen- tations were made by members of the yearbook and newspaper staffs, while vol- unteers manned the doors, explaining to interested parents about the necessity for a greater awareness about their schools. no Ill BLOOD DRIVE The Blood Drive was held on October 28th, 1986. Our students were very eager to give their blood to this worthy cause. They looked beyond their fears and gave the most precious gift. If you can save someone’s life by just giving one pint of blood, you know that you have done your part. To those Easton Eagles who participated, you have made us proud. Sometimes giving the greatest gift of all can be painful. But Chrisjourdan, Leslie Gross, and Cesear Manazares gave to help their fellow man. The giving can be momentarily painful (that stick with the needle) but after that the pain is non-existant. And of course the medical staff assigned to the blood drive mobile unit is highly trained and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. 112 Harold Morris had to wait patiently for the nurse to take his blood pressure and temperature. You must of course be well to donate your blood. Tony Ambeau, Floyd Brown and Carolyn Brooks realize that they are important to the safety of others. Blood can only be saved for a certain amount of time, and it must be replenished. CAREER DAY AT EASTON A DAY OF LEARNING, OF SHARING . . . Warren Easton was the center of atten- tion on December 10, 1986, as representa- tives from colleges, businesses and the Armed Forces crowded our halls, passed out literature and answered hundreds of questions from Eagles. The reps gave in- teresting and informative talks on their institutions, and helped many Eagles de- cide on a plan for their future. Sponsored and organized by the counselors, the sen- iors and juniors all agreed that the morn- ing was a wonderful experience . Mr. Greg Bryant represented LSU. He gave the Eagles the re- quirements for LSU and made many of us realize that college is no joy ride. Ms. Laura Moody, a rep from Southern in Baton Rouge explained about scholarships and grants. 114 NEW EXPERIENCES From the University of Southwestern Louisiana came three representatives to speak about the their campus, located in the bayou area of our state. Its beautiful campus attracts Easton Eagles every year. Mr. Milas Love, from UNO answers questions from eager students planning to stay closer to home. 115 WINTER WONDERLAND A NIGHT TO REMEMBER” Our Winter Formal 1987, sponsored by Ms. Cheryl Huckaby and Ms. Mabel Ben- jamin, was held on January 17th, at the International Hotel. The music was pro- vided by R.D.S. Express. At the dance, students voted to elect a MISTRESS OF WINTER and an ICE KING. Over forty entrants competed for titles. LESLIE DUCKETT and TONY SPANN were the lucky winners. Leslie, crowned by Dr. Fer- guson received a bouquet of flowers. Tony received a bronze medallion. Both students expressed their thanks to the stu- dents who elected them. The dance was the first winter formal Easton has seen in many years. Most stu- dents who attended the dance suggested that it become an annual event. 116 DIONNE MOVES INTO MB EAGLES FOLLOW THE TRENDS Filas Pizza Hut Janet Jackson Turtle Neck Shirts French Quarters Beastie Boys Bass Fuddrucker's Anita Baker Leather Riverwalk Cameo Generra Eastlake 8 Dionne Warwick Madonna Nexus Parties Girbaud Deanie's Luther Vandross Long Skirts Whitney Houston Dior Silver Rainbow Lanes Freddie Jackson MICHAEL J.

This year the pre peration and work has really paid off. The team finished the season with an 8 win and 2 loss record. As an added reward for their achievements they were in playoff position. It was Easton's first playoff game in 16 years. After a hard fight the Eagles lost the game 34-6 against Shaw. But it was exciting to the last second on the clock. The team was called to victory by Coach Kenneth Martin, who has been coaching the team since 1976. He was assisted by Coaches Costa, Robinson, Malkeiwic and Benward.

The Eagles had a tough time against the RonEagle team. At half-time we trailed 21-6 but came back in the sec- ond half scoring 20 points. The game was held at Tad Gormley stadium on October 31st. The offense was led by seniors Dwight Elmore, Alfred Picou, Doiron Nelson and Corey Hebert. The Eagles worked hard to sack McDonogh 35 team. The RonEagles thought they had the game in the bag at halftime; but they found out that you can't keep those Easton Eagles down. 126 During an afternoon of fun and festivities, the sun sparkled down on the field. The team caught the spirit of the day and ran with the prize for a 26-21 victory. 127 LEADING THE TEAM TO THE GOAL POST 128 Practice makes perfect, and even during the rainy season, the team must stick to it. The coaches push, but they are determined to teach the team the meaning of fair play. ii Coaches Kenny Martin, Steven Costa Albert Robinson. Donelle Benward and James Malkiewicz. 129 BASKETBALL Basketball has always been one of Easton s most competitive sports. This year's team has given their all to keep the ball in Easton's court. Sponsored by Coach Alexander Athas and Coach Evan Walle the team had a hard fight on its hands. With cut backs in the school board’s budget, many teams did not even know if there would be a basketball season. But luck prevailed and the season got off to a great start. The Boosters, sponsored by Ms. Judy Demarest managed to raise mon- ey to help with the season, awards and game expenses. t s • t A Vf. 9 MEMBERS OF THE 1906-87 BASKETBALL TEAM ARE: P. Allen 21, W.

SOCCER Warren Easton's soccer team is active, and has a following who appear at every game, cheering their team on to victory. It paid off this season, as Warren Easton's Soccer Team had a winning year. Under the supervision of Coach James Malkeiwicz the team practiced long hard hours to achieve the season's re- cord.
