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

Df B rdis Activities As each year passes the students of Byrd learn more assuredly that grades are important in the life at Byrd. Many long-lasting organi- zations acquire new members yearly, and new organizations are often formed. The Chess Team is a newly formed club and was one that was well-liked and participated in from the begin- ning. Those of us who gave our extra time by participating in such after school activities as decorating for school functions, working on as- semblies, doing extra projects for classes, and helping to put out the school publications, know that the TIME ON OUR HANDS was spent in a way that brought enjoyment to our fellow students.
