trong haracter As the summer drew to a close the football players found much of that extra summer time eaten up with those steaming early morning and late afternoon practices. The basketball players practiced long and hard, beginning in the fall, also. With the coming of a new spring, and what almost seemed to be a new year, the baseball, golf, and tennis team members began that extra work that makes a good team great. Track seems to be an all-year job for a great many of the tracksters, but the TIME ON OUR HANDS was spent well' Sprm brou ht members of the tennis team out to courts ln full force Flo Sproull warms up before a toulna ment Sonny lainell jumps over Lal J o 'lm mole yal a e c tt lllty ln an tht s ha tmp Packln the car to leave for a practlce at the olf couise are Tommy Smith Larry Cowley and Rob Franks The Colt' team went to Baton Rou e play In the state meet held there

ourts Are Presented r As Johnny Dalton looks on Coach Scotty Robertson congratulates Vicki Longmire upon being named Basketball Queen. Pam Pressley, Freshmang Susan Strother, Sophomoreg Vicki Longmire Queen Mimi Couch Junior and Clowe Wright, Senior, were announced as the 1959 Basketball Court Claudia Robertson was the crown bearer. An extremely high and muchly desired honor at Byrd is being named a member of the Homecoming or Basketball Court. Home- coming has been a long-established function at Byrd, and one that has always created early fall anticipation! The Basketball Court has been presented in only the past two years, and those members of the first two courts should certainly feel honored in that they have begun a new phase in the life at C. E. Byrd High School. Remember . . . not only you who were members of the court, but also you who attended these school functions . . . definitely the TIME ON OUR HANDS was spent in an exceptionally memorable Way and the memory of it shall not soon depart. Byrd's Jimmy Williams leaps high to bring down a rebound in a hard fought game.
