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.
