But I think it will.” Greg attended a meeting of private school representatives in Baton Rouge So starting with the 2013 season, Brother Martin and eleven other 5A Select February 29. As soon as he walked in the door, he had to sign a confidentiality schools - including the entire Catholic League as well as John Curtis and Evangel, agreement. Eventually, a news release revealed what was presented at the both playing above their enrollment levels - competed in “Division I” playoffs. In meeting.

However, the cooperative would sponsor only eight sports: football, schools again with seven from the Catholic League. basketball, baseball, and track for boys and volleyball, basketball, softball, and After the 2013 vote, the School Relations Committee, composed of 15 principals track for girls. from both public and private schools, tried to develop proposals that would Concerned that many people assumed the Catholic schools were on board with repair the split and bring the schools back together for football. Greg recalls, the Rainwater proposal, the Bishops of Louisiana issued this statement March “Recruitment was always the issue. The public schools were asking for a level 23: “The Bishops of Louisiana have approved the formation of a task force to playing field. They perceived the private schools as recruiting any kid they continue looking into all options when it comes to the future of Catholic high wanted from any place because they had the funds to do that. So the public school athletics. The recent news reports are inaccurate as they state that a school principals had a real concern that things were going on that were out decision has been made. The Catholic school superintendents will convene the of their control but that were in LHSAA’s control. But the LHSAA wasn’t doing task force in the coming months and it will be comprised of members from each enough to control it. That’s when the ball started rolling for the split playoffs. of the dioceses of the state. By no means does this mean the Catholic schools Their thinking was, ‘If the LHSAA leadership is not going to level the playing of Louisiana have closed the door on LHSAA membership, nor has there been a field, we’re going to change the structure.’” commitment to any one future plan. The task force will be working for what is The School Relations Committee submitted a proposal for the January 2016 in the best interest of the student-athletes in Catholic schools throughout the principals meeting to reunite all 5A and 4A schools for the football playoffs but state. We must examine all options in order to make a wise decision.” continue the split in 3A, 2A, and 1A. However, the first proposal voted on at the Commissioner Bonine hopes the legislature will solve LHSAA’s problem. Rep. Kirk meeting, which came from Many High School principal Norman Booker, called Talbot (R – River Ridge) has submitted a bill that prohibits public and private for the split playoffs to be extended to boys’ and girls’ basketball, baseball, and schools that receive public funds from belonging to an athletic organization softball in all classifications.

The bill cleared the House proposal and several others dealing with playoffs were rendered moot. committee March 23 but still has many hurdles to jump in a crowded legislative Greg was disappointed but not surprised. “Six to eight months after the session before it becomes law. Greg: “At the last SRC meeting, Eddie spoke for football split, I actually thought that the concept of Select and Non-Select was approximately 30 minutes on what was happening in the legislature. I asked losing momentum. The SCR discussed other options and solutions that would him, ‘Are you waiting to see what happens with the legislature before we start hopefully take care of the real concerns around the state to avoid a split in other planning for the expanded playoffs, and are there other options that we should sports. The SRC was even trying to develop a plan to get principals interested be considering to eliminate the split?’ He said, ‘I’m confident the legislature will in voting to go back to the original five classifications in football. At that time, I step in.’” truly believed that a split in other sports was not a possibility.” Nevertheless, Bonine asked Representative Talbot to table his bill until the Another reason for optimism was the hiring of a new commissioner, Eddie Executive Committee has a chance to discuss the matter at its April 14 meeting. Bonine, in December 2014. Greg: “When Eddie came in, he did his very best Talbot said that, if the Executive Committee fails to come up with a solution that to get us back to an association that was unified because he thought that was can be passed by the LHSAA, he could reintroduce the bill later this session. what he was hired to do. But he found out that was not the case. In some ways, he was at an unfair disadvantage. He learned that the thinking above I-10 was (continued on page 24) 22 ■ Century II Whither the LHSAA?

The 5A schools broke dead even on the expanded we can go from here without you feeling that Many High School is at a real split, and some schools, including private schools, didn’t even vote on the disadvantage?’ If the legislature doesn’t come through, I will probably meet proposal.

If If the legislature does not intervene, Greg, speaking only for himself, favors several schools in 2A that shall remain nameless would play up, then schools like the option of dividing the LHSAA into public and private divisions. “We would Many might be open to a playoff system that would support the classification still operate under the general guidelines put out by LHSAA and offer all sports proposal which seems like a much easier solution than the one we had to go but, for example, we would have separate hardship committees – four private through. I’ve had conversations with public school principals who are really school principals voting on private school hardship cases, four public school concerned about this (the expansion of the split playoffs). They also felt like that principals voting on public school cases. At the annual meeting, the private momentum was shifting away from that idea but all of a sudden took a real school principals would vote on items of interest to them, and the public school turn.” principals would do the same.

What began as a two week stint ended 45 years later with Roland retiring as President, Chief Operating Officer, and Vice Chairman of The American National Can Corporation, the world’s largest packaging and container company.

Ninety-five years old, he was the third of five children born to his parents, Fernand Laudumiey and Stella Anna Oehmichen. He used his baptismal name of Louis until he joined the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, making first vows at Metuchen, N.J., in 1937. Louis first met the Brothers as a student at St. Aloysius in New Orleans where he grew up on Rampart Street, speaking both French and English at home. Throughout his life, he frequently used the expression, "C'est la vie" to comment on life's ups and downs, all of which he took in stride. Brother Warren ministered in the Brothers' schools in six states as well as in Canada and Africa. He taught in Far Rockaway and Brooklyn, N.Y.; Metuchen, N.J.; Mobile and Daphne, AL; Houma and New Orleans, LA; Muskogee, OK; Bay St. Louis, MS; and Verdun, Canada. He also served five years as a missionary in Okaru in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Africa. For 12 years from 1976-1984, he held the position of provincial secretary for the New Orleans Province when its headquarters were in Bay St. Louis, MS. Brother Warren was preceded in death by his parents and his four siblings: two brothers Fernand Jr. and Paul Louis Laudumiey; and two sisters Marie Emma Laudumiey Grace and Claire Marie Laudumiey. He is survived by several nieces and nephews. Since Brother Warren donated his body to science, there was no regular wake or funeral services. A Memorial Mass in the Brothers' chapel in Baton Rouge took place Saturday, December 5, at 5:00 p.m. for Brothers and friends. A similar service will take place in New Orleans at a time to be announced later. When his body is returned, his remains will be interred in the Brothers' Cemetery in Bay St. Louis through arrangements with Edmond Fahey Funeral Home there. Memorial donations in honor of Br. Warren may be sent to the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Foundation, 4600 Elysian Fields Ave., New Orleans, LA 70122. Jerry E. Romig, Founder’s 1947 1955 1969 Medal recipient Col. Lynn H.

This included the formation of committees, each centered on rating ourselves by each AdvancEd standard and its accompanying indicators. In addition, electronic surveys were sent to students, teachers, and Student Council Executive Board parents, asking for their opinions on a wide variety of school aspects.
