From the January 1999 files of The Eunice News.
Elizabeth Reed Guillory, of Eunice, was presented the Martin Luther King award at the Liberty Theater as part of the Martin Luther King celebration. She was honored for her work with Parent’s Reach Out.
Gil Young forecast the Mardi Gras crowd to exceed 1,000 people. Carl Olivier was president; Nelson Godeaux, capitaine; Joey Schneider, co-capitaine; Pat Frey, co-capitaine; Lynn LeJeune, secretary; and Greg Savant and Young were board members.
Eunice School Board member Clifton Clause said the board needs to look at its hiring practices. The news report stated the parish was suffering a “brain drain” as teachers went to neighboring parishes for better pay.
