Back in May, 1945 Ouachita Parish High School’s seniors had a newsletter called the Ouachita Lion. It served as a sort of yearbook since the yearbook wasn’t publishing during WWII. On one of the pages of the May, 1945 issue, they paid tribute to what they called “Gold Star Honor Roll”. Basically, alumni of OPHS from 1894 to 1945 who had died during conflict. It covered the Spanish American War all the way to WWII. Here were the names listed:
