Nicholls Class of 1961

CLASS OF 1961

FRANCIS T. NICHOLLS
HIGH SCHOOL
New Orleans, LOUISIANA

For years it educated the teenagers of New Orleans’ ninth ward. It stood proudly as Francis T. Nicholls High School. The building is a bit tarnished now, but we will always carry shining memories of it in our hearts. In the following pages, you can look back at our senior year, catch a glimpse of us as we are today, and read about what we’ve done in the years in between. We’re the Class of 1961 — Rebels Forever!
