Historical Note

The St. James Fathers' Club was officially formed in 1946 in St. James, La. It evolved out of traditional dinners given for the St. James High School football team by the Becnel family prior to World War II. The traditional annual dinner held by the club eventually became part of the awards program and banquet at St. James High School that was open to all athletic participants, the band and its director, and faculty. The club also became involved in an effort to improve the local community that included upgrading roads and discussing administrative and social issues of other local schools.
