Above, the principal, Amy H. Hinrichs, and her message: "The American public school is a unique institution. In it our boys and girls have opportunities for growth and development that cannot be duplicated. Daily thanksgiving for the privileges that are ours is in order for both pupils presently in our schools and adults who have already profited by the benefits." ~ ~ ~ I'll add a personal note here to say that Ms. Hinrichs' ancestors were among the founding families of the church I attended throughout my childhood, Napoleon Avenue Methodist Church. The church's very early members were mostly from New Orleans' German community. Ms. Hinrichs was a remarkable lady, who was a knowledgeable and generous student and teacher of history. She lived well into her 90's and was an active member of the church until infirmity no longer permitted it. She, also, happened to live a block away from my family in Carrollton. Long after her retirement from New Orleans Public Schools, she was still "teaching" the youngsters of the neighborhood and instilling in them an appreciation of history. In my case, it's an appreciation of New Orleans history that has stayed with me to this day. Nancy ~ ~ ~ Picture below, the faculty of Warren Easton, 1955. |
