rades Pla Important Role One of the duties of thc members of the R.O.T.C. is to raise and lower l3yrd's flag: daily. This duly is performed on all school days on which it doesn't rain. Rohert Swan raises the flag early in thc morning before tht- students arrive at school. Organizations are the heart of Byrd and from these spring the ar- teries of the school. It is only by making above-average grades that many of these organizations are at- tainable. The Quill and Scroll and National Honor Society demand a Bn average for their junior mem- bers and HCN average for seniors, while the members of the Pep Squad also maintain 'LC' averages. ,..- James ,lones and Harrison Ward practiced during after school hours to make the 1958-59 Byrd Band an outstanding one. Looking at their straight A report cards are Carl Weisman, Helen Lefkowitz, Marcia Simmons. Mike Griffith. Weldon Boyd, and Sully lirockschmidt. These Seniors at mid- term had maintained an HA average throughout their four years at Byrd.

The Life B rd Ann Siskron and other members of Mr. Conover's class found that although such important events as Co West Day were taking place school work continued. Linda Burley, Ann Cline, Olivia Rus- sell, and Ruth Rosen took one of the many standardized Home Economics tests given each year. Standardized tests play a big part in the academic tests of the school year. Although many activities are taking place, we never forget that our first and main pur- pose at school is getting an education. Study- ing late into the night and then feeling suc- cessful when a good grade is made will al- ways be a pleasant memory in the hearts of the students of Byrd. Letis not forget how We, who participated in these organizations spent some of THE TIME ON OUR HANDS. The Thanksgiving half- time performance by the Stingerettes was perhaps the best ever put on. It consisted of the formation of symbols which paid honor to the Strategic Air Command at Barks- dale. I9
