It’s a World of Laughter, World of Laughter In colors of pink, blue, and green, thcse damty dancers wrapped the Maypole at the Pep Squad Pcep Show. In addition to its monctary value, this annual cvent always provides fun and laughter for all. Beginning on September 6, the Big, Wide, Wonder- ful World of Byrd began to revolve. Everyone par- ticipated in the first big event of the year—Coach Cox Day. With spirits high and hopes undaunted, we all went to the first game, ushering in the open- ing of football season. From then on each week, as well as week-end, was filled with events and happen- ings of Byrd students. Pep assemblies held during the first of the year provided the spirit and desire to win for the tootball and basketball games. These, along with homecom- ing, the junior and senior prom, and other school sponsored dances, kept the world of Byrd continually revolving. The halls of Byrd rang with fun and laughter of the students: Thc R.O.T.C. held its annual spaghetti supper. . . . In spite of torrents of rain the choir s operetta was a success. . . . Even in croker sacks, our sponsors w r on ' Do in A-What Comes Naturally. . . . And the Christmas parties gave us, as always, thc holiday spirit.

He presented this project to his biology class by showing mice going through a maze after having been given a dosc. In addition to play must come work. Evidences of this were the outstanding schoiastic awards Byrd students received this year. Efforts of the HIGH LIFE and GUSHER staffs wcre recognized by membership in the Quill and Scroll. Those with outstanding qualities in various fields were chosen for the National Honor So- ciety. Thc Debate Team took trips representing another phase of our world of study.” Organizations spent a great deal of time and thought to make our assemblies and special programs enjoyable. To acquaint reprcsentatives with the working of the Student Council, Leadership Day was held early in the year. Here new ideas and plans were formulated for the year. Dean Mann was the leader of the discussion of this particular group. Billy Hargrove and Paul Goodwin wait in line to have their class picture made With the GUSHER room tumed into a picture-taking studio, the staff worked for five w’eeks taking pictures. This was in preparation for the months of work which are re- quired to make the GUSHER an outstanding book as in the past. 10 It’s a World of Study World of Work The Red Cross helped to promote good will with others by filling gift boxes to be sent overseas and making Christmas brighter for the less fortunate. Real study came around mid-term and final se- mester. We found ourselves making frequent trips to the Iibrary preparing for research papers. Then there was the dreaded cramming for exams. Once over, though, we were ready for another whirl in the wide world of Byrd. Mechanical drawing students, who perhaps will be future architects, draw plans for such things as houses and boats. Their aim is accuracy and neat- ness. Robert Ehrhardt sang the role of Grosvenor, a leading char acter. Thc choir practiced all through the year for special assemblies and programs such as that at Christmas. Their major production each year is an operetta which was Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Patience this year. The HIGH LIFE. which comes out once every three wecks, happencd to come on Go West Day this year. Susan Simpson, a staff member, brought a welcome interruption as she sold the ncwest issue. The staff worked all year to produce a paper with complete, interesting. and informative arti- cles, the result being a top rated newspaper. And of Work Well Done ii Jacket players and room before the sti r hard fought victory on the State Fair Stadium gridiron, Jacket varsity leaves for thc school. Some song or cheer or tradition seemed to typify each sport and accompany it. ”Wc never stagger, we never falT’ was the familiar song and dance following each Jacket touchdown. This could have well been the motto during this season as the Jackets were undefeated, untied, district champions. With the beginning of basketball season the ’ Basket Jackets” with their agile feet played exciting and close games such as that with Woodlawn when the game depended on one point. On Saturday spectators came and went from the cinder oval, as track events were won and lost. The last boys to letter were those who computed their batting averages on the diamond. Betty Virginia Park is the home of our baseball and many of us spent enjoyable afternoons in the spring there.

This was the second year for this new tradition. Spring brought warmer days and the annual spring fever. Baseball games, golf meets and football spring training ended the season of sports. Songs, dances, and cheers faded away in the distance . . . football suits . . . helmets marked with scratches of yellow, red blue, and green paint from the rivals . . . tennis shoes and basketballs . . . track shoes yellow togs . . . golf clubs . . . baseballs . . . all were put away at the end to rest until another record was to be written in another world of sports. - - ;? l ‘ . p ' w Tommy Gregory hands the rel; ets go on to another cinder vict ck West as Jack- Jacket outficlder Billy McCullough strides hard to beat throw in an intra-city gamc with St. Johns. And Song and Cheers 13 Wisdom acquired from home economics in high school is often used later in professions such as nursing. Karleen Thomas, Sherley Brazzel. and Mattie Bozeman practice some of the skills they have learned. A registered nurse having taught them for several weeks, the students then prepared for a prac- tical nursing examination. After completion of this course certificates were given to all those who passed. Judy Williams employs her time and efforts at work. This is only one of the many jobs provided for distributive edu- cation students. Besides the wisdom attained from school subjects, skills and good form are gained in sports. The swimming team works throughout the year to perfect their ability. Billy Perry, Tommy Perry, and Clint Miller watch as Johnny Nolan executes a flip. Susie Trimble is tapped for membership in the induction ceremony of the Quill and Scroll. Jimmy Jett proceeds to the stage for further recognition. It’s a World Where We Many students arc required by colleges to take the Collcge Board Entrance Examination, as part of the admission requirements. Spend ing one of thcir Saturdays doing this were Patty McCreight, Chips Kinnebrew, Jim Lewark, Mercedes Trichcl, and Sammy Baird. Ronald Bryant and Bill Lloyd set up the tape recorder and demon- strate the use of it to James Coleman and Keith Abney. Tapes on various subjects are offered for those interested in enhancing their wisdom. Our world of wisdom includes the years of development and growth . . . mental growth from studies . . . physical growth from athletics . . . social development from contact with teachers and pupils in the classroom and in our many varied activities. Within our school’s friendly walls has arisen a tradition of earnest study, a keen interest in scholarship, athletics, and social life. Students and teachers alike have worked in harmony to promote citizenship and the responsibility of the individual to himself, his family, and his government. Ideas present in scientists . . . artists . . . musicians . . . journalists matenalize to form the framework of all achieve- ment. Byrd has set up goals for those with high potential to attain . . . National Honor Society . . . Quill and Scroll . . . National Forensic League . . . merit scholarships . . . science awards. , A man’s mind stretched by a new idea can never go back to its original dimension.” So it is with applied work and effort at Byrd . . . the reward is wisdom. As the crowd poured into the gym for one of the big assemblies of the year. the expressions and cheers reflected the gladness of all in having a break in the routine of school.

For the third consecutive year Byrd is participating in the nationwide program for ’ rapid-lcarners. These accelerated dasses provide the opportunity for gifted studcnts to penetrate deeper into their subjects, cover more material, and receive a wider variety of information through field trips, lectures, and special research. Fupils of all grades who qualify for the program may choose to participate or decline, however, no student may take more than two accelerated classes at any one time. Under this plan a student spends one half of his day in the regular dasses and is not too busy to prepare the extra assignments demanded. Students Are Enriched in Accelerated Classes The members of the accelerated American History class work on many extra projects. These students, Linda Hope. Cherye Riser, Olive Roberts, Carolyn Wilkerson, and Andy Harris have just presented a panel discussion. The morc complicated principles of physics are studied by the members of the accelerated physics class. These members of the junior accel- erated math class, Richard Akin and Christine Hengy, are watching as Mal Morgan points out the path of the projectile. 22 For the first time in eleven years Byrd was evaluated by twenty-six members. of a professional committee. These members visited Byrd from February 7 through February 9 for the purpose of accreditation by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Thcy visited classrooms and also observed the students out of class and in assembly. The faculty had spent months evaluating themselves and the sch(X)l building. The student body cooperated during the week of the actual evaluation by hclping in the clean-up campaign, guiding the evaluators, and assisting the visi- tors in other ways. The results of the evaluation were very favorable. The evaluators judged Byrd a superior school in its faculty, its students, and its facilities. Thcy had only few suggestions for improvements to be added to the list already compiled by the faculty. However, the excellent results of this eval- uation wcre not the only benefit which our school gained from it. It also brought us closer to other schools of Louisi- ana and made us feel an important part of the state system. Improvement Through Evaluation Excuscd from classes for two days, Pat Hancy and Linda Carruth scrvcd as official typists for thc evaluators. Pam Hall has just guided Mrs. Lyon, an evalu ator. into a room she wished to visit.

Home Economics Gives Valuable Experience One of the most important phases of home economics is sewing. Through thcir work, girls acquire a knowledge of style and skill in using difficult pattems. Members of the home economics classes hold two teas during the year honoring their mothers and the faculty. Serving thc honor guests are Doris Wright, Susie Quillen, Jamce Rawls, and Rachel Scaife. Having the acquisition of skills that will be useful in later life as its main objective, the home economics department gives useful knowledge and valuable expcri- ence in every phase of homemaking. One of its most im- portant aspects is cooking. Through much practice stu- dents acquire new f techniques and collect a file of recipes which they can use to makc tasty dishes both now and in the future. Sewing is also an integral part of home eco- nomics. Each year a style show is held in which thc girls gain poise in modeling and display the spring clothes they have made. A knowledge of good grooming habits and the importance of a neat appearance are stressed, together with having a good personality and being an experienced hostcss In addition to these, students learn about home furn- ishing and improve their taste in decoration. So, in rooms 210, 211, 311� and 310, students who will be the homemakers of tomorrow listen and learn those things which they will use to make their homes and Shreveport a better place in which to live. Students created many beautiful and imaginative decorations at Christmas. Decorating candles are Linda Scott and Carol Lindsey.

It is taken by almost all graduates as one of their required sciences. Chemistry includes the study of the nature and compo- sition of matter and their relation to onc another. Students may use the laboratories to observe laws of science at work and to collect facts to be used as the basis for accu- rate conclusions. The most advanced science course at Byrd is physics, a study of the changes in matter and energy which occur without a change in form. Each spring many science students make interesting projects.

Stan was very active in Stu- dent Council work and athletics. In his soph- omore year he was a member of the debate team and also the Spanish Club. As a junior he served in the Student Council, worked on the High Life advertising staff, was elected alternate to Boys’ Pelican State, and won his letter in track. His reputation for dependabili- ty and sincerity gained him the nomination for Senior class officer. Carolyn served as reporter for the High Life •04 her first year at Byrd. Continuing her work on the High Life, Carolyn was admitted to the Quill and Scroll and National Honor Society the spring of her junior year. That summer she attended Pelican Girls’ State, where she served in the Senate, and was picked as Ameri- can Field Service exchange student finalist. As a senior Carolyn was chosen Editor of the High Life, Secretary of the French Club and a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. Perhaps Carolyn’s greatest honor was to be selected by the faculty for the Optimist Award as the out- standing senior girl. The Gusher is proud to present two such outstanding people as Mr. and Miss Gusher. Present the 1961 Senior Favorites ln order to promote a greater distribu- tion of offices and responsibilities at B)rd High School, the school adminis- tration system has adopted the major- minor system. Under this systern a stu- dent may hold one major and one minor office or three minor offices each year. Those holding major offices are pictured throtighout the Senior section. Senior Favorite is an honorary office and one bestowed by the entire Sen ' tor Class. The voting is done in a special Senior assembly, which was January 9 this year. Each year the results are kept a secret and announced by members of the GUSHER Staff tn assembly. Byrd went Hollywood February 9 of this yearr Academy awards were given to the win- ners, who in tttrn displayed their talents in acting. singing, and dancing. Air. and M ' tss Gusher is a somewhat different honor. The nominatton and election of these tu o people are done by the entire GUSHER staff. All nominees . j must meet these requirements: attended Byrd for at least three years, coiitributed worthwhile service to the school each year, and definitely not be a member of the GUSHER staff. In the following section appear the Senior Favor tes. The class of 1961 chose jUL them as the best-known people, although every senior deserves to be included in these pages. The closeness atui bond of friendship existing between all members of our class promises a happy future and one of cherished memories. . ,w 105 X ’61 Senior Favorites c usan S ro ner 71,1 Jta 1 ' 61 Senior Favorites 109 ’61 Senior Favorites V « 61 Senio Underclassmen To thc undcri lassmcn scniors pcrsonally pdss thc- traditums and honors of Byrd.

Everyone remembers the time of his most import- ant e ents. A worthy endeavor is rccognized by the recciving of an award, and outstanding studcnts bring honor to C E. Byrd High School through the National Forensic League, Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, and scholastic accomplishmcnts. Distinction received is the climax of a successful effort; honor is a challenge to be met by determination w ith time and cffort. The ideals of a society w ' ith pcrfection as a driving force make integrity an important desire and essential to the well-being of the community. Honor is brought to Byrd High in many fields. Scniors have received recognition at Byrd for outstanding contributions to the renown of our city. Standing at 12 oclock is John Watson, President of thc National Forensic League; at 1 o’clock is Stanley Feldman, President of the American Field Scrvice; at 3 o’clock is Bill Peatross, President of the Quill and Scroll; at 4 o’dock is Mary Ann Blanchard, Outstanding Senator at Pelican Statc; at 7 o’clock is Pam Morchouse, Vice-President of the National Honor Society; and at 8 o’clock is Olive Roberts, Honor Graduatc of the 1961 Class. Honors Climax the Beginning and the End Julie Chandler hands a program to Candy Richards at the Bacca- laureate Ceremony. Julie is one of the members of the National Honor Society who serve as ushers at the graduation exercises. The greatest final honor earned by the Seniors is the wonderful and exciting night of their graduation ending three eventful years at Byrd. Ann Vetsch and Donna Young grimace as they face the task of cleaning fish at the Quill and Scroll Initiation Ceremonies. Carol Wilkios, Camie Wenk, Judy Pettigrew, Abbey Shuey, Phyllis Gill, Sherr ' Kalstone, and Nancy Wheless admire the charms the senior Pep Squad and Drum Corps members receive after contributing to the spirit of the school. 154 Adelle Abramson finally gives her chemistry project, one on body organs that requires, like all others, a great deal of time and effort. A.F.S. Brings a Divided World Closer Together Furthering understanding and brothcrhood among all na- tions of the world is the purpose of the American Field Serv- ice, a non-profit, educational organization. The A.F.S. achieves this purpose by bringing foreign teen-age students to study in American high schools and to live with American families for one year. In exchange, American high school studcnts are sent abroad for a summer, half-year, or yearly program to twenty- eight countries. Our exchange student this year is Birgit Jen- sen from Copenhagen, Denmark, who is staying with Mr. and Mrs. Quintin Hardtner and their daughter, Mary Jane, who attends Byrd. The Byrd High School Chapter of the A.F.S. was organized in 1959 and is now jointly sponsored by the Student Body of Byrd High School and the Shreveport Rotary Club. Mrs. Dorothy Hanks, in addition to her Iibrarian duties, sponsors the Byrd Chapter of the A.F.S. Six finalists from Byrd were selected from applicants for the exchange student program. The selection of these students is based upon their academic record, character, and adaptabili- ty. The A.F.S. office in New York will select one of the tinal- ists for the summer program. Last year Stanley Feldman was selected from Byrd for this program. Indeed, with the A.F.S. wwking for us, world peace has Birgit Jensen, our ex- change student from Denmark, and Mary Jane Hardtner with whom she is staying, pausc for a moment before coming to school.

The Heart of Byrd — A Symbol Tommy Burr gives part of the discussion at his prayer group meeting held one night a week. These are attended by many Byrd students who grow in Christian fellowship through them. f, Byrd, we stand to honor thee . . As we sing these words, we think of our school—the building itself, its spirit—the Heart of Byrd. Byrd ' s spirit is shown in many ways. It is yelling with pride as the team comes on the basketball court or the football field; it is spending hours of work to bring recognition not to ourselves but to our school; it is the fun we have in our classes, at dances, bus trips, and Go West Day. But the Heart of Byrd is more than this—it is the deeper Spirit of our school and its students. This Spirit manifests itself through the chapel services, prayer group meetings, the Foster Parents program, Y o u t h Week, Brotherhood week, and the lives of Byrd’s students. Chapel is held before school ev- ery Wednesday and Friday morning in the auditorium. Here students have an oppor- tunity to sped a few minutes listening to a devotional and praying quietly with others; thus they are able to start the day in the best possible way. Prayer groups began scv- eral years ago when a group of students decided to meet once a week for the pur- pose of growing in Godlikeness. Meeting in members ' homes where students pray and discuss problems and beliefs together, they remind us to ”take God to school with us. M Byrd, working with othcr arca high schools, sponsors Youth Week Services which were held at Fair Park this year. Linda Hope rises to play the theme of Youth Week. Other representatives were Steve Yancey and Dean Mann. 168 Pep Sqoad members, Mary Carol Brock, Susan Beaird, Lynne Fitzgerald, Gerry Sherrod, and Linda Carruth give their monthly donation for the sup- port of Kim Hoc Soo. of Our School’s Deeper Spirit In the past, Byrd students, with the help of Miss Irma Robinson, sponsored three orphans through the Foster Parents Plan. The school sent food, money and clothes to the children in foreign countries who were always most appreciative. This year, because of a School Board ruling prohibit- ing the collection of money in the class- rooms, we were forced to discontinue the support of the children. The Stingcrettes contributed money after school to keep one of the orphans, Kim Hak Soo of Korea, until he was sixteen and no longer needed assistance. Youth Week was held this year on March 14-16. Schools of Shreveport and Bossier worked together on the pro- grams to create a bond of friendship be- tween Fair Park, Bossier, Woodlawn and Byrd and work toward a richer life with God.

In these ways the Heart of Byrd reaches out to also influence the community. The last and most import- ant way that this Spirit—the Heart of Byrd shows itself is in our lives, May we live in a way that will make Byrd proud of us in both achievements and in spirit as we are proud of it. Beginning during the 1960-61 school year, this boy whom Byrd has helped for many years no longer needed our assistance Byrd students often think of ‘’our ’ boy in Korea and remember his kind letters to them.

Explores Teaching Profession President Vice-Presideni Secretary Treasurer Jean Walker Beca Bruening Maurine Gray Patsy Hagood C. E. Byrd ' s club of Future Teachers of America was granted a charter in 1948 by the National Educa- tion Association. It is composed of students who are interested in studying the opportunities of the teach- ing profession. In order to carry out this purpose, the club visited many elementary schools in the city. Mr. Johns, the assistant superintendent in charge of hiring teachers, spo ke to the members about the qualifica- tions recjuired to enter this field. For their Christmas project, the club filled a basket with food and clothing and took it to a needy family in the area.

Miss Norsworthy, sponsor of thc Student Council. Sincc its beginning in 1940, the Student Council of Byrd High School has provided a laboratory for the practice of democratic principles, believing that the best training for citizenship is direct student participation in the school’s ac- tivities and policies. The Council has achieved a distin- guished position in our school by its keen interest in school activities, policies and improvements. The Student Council consists of an executive committee composed of six officers elected by the entire student body, eleven committee chairmen appointed by the Student Coun- cil President, thirty-six committee members, and seventy- three representatives elected from home rooms. Some major projects which have been undertaken by the Council this year, in addition to the numerous services per- formed by the standing committees, are Coach Cox Day, Go West Day, a faculty luncheon, Basketball Day, Leadership Day, and the annual Talent Show. Byrd High School is a member of the National, Southern and State Associations of Student Councils. Delegates were sent to the National Convention in Janesville, Wisconsin; the National Leadership Conference at Estes Park, Colorado; the Louisiana State Convention in Morgan City; and the State Workshop at Lafayette.

Each day, since the club was founded in 1948, they execute the purpose of the club by stimulating reading interest among Byrd’s 2000 students. Meeting each Tuesday, the club presents programs consist- ing of skits, book reviews, and guest speakers. Repairing books and cataloging is also one of the helpful activities. Working with other members creates a strong desire to be- come a librarian. Among the year s activities were a Christmas party with the Audio-Visual Club and a Mother-Daughter Tea in April.

Sponsored by Mrs. Shirley Brown and Miss Voss, her student teacher, the Pan American Forum is in its second ycar of organization at Byrd. The purpose of thc club is to acquaint members with the Span ish language and the customs of our neigh bors to the South. In order to carry out this purpose, the monthly programs consist of dance demonstrations, speeches, and slides. The Christmas celebration takes the form of a typical pinata party. A pinata is a dec orated figure of some animal, common to Spanish speaking people, filicd with candy. At the party it is broken by club members, who are blindfolded and armcd with a base- ball bat. When it is broken, everyone scrambles for the small pieces of candy. However, the highlight of the entire year is the banquet held in the late spring at E1 Chico restaurant, where a Mexican din- ner is served to the dub members.

Lower Latin Forum Encourages Classical Reading Ia 1925 the Forum Latinum was organi 2 ed to increase in- terest in Roman culture. Due to the increase in membership of the dub, it was divided into two groups, the Upper and Lower Forum. The members of the Lower Forum are students taking first year Latin. The club is affiliated with the National Junior Classical League, and last August several members of the club joined the other delegates of Louisiana for the National Convention held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. During the course of the school year, membcrs of the Lower and Upper Forums enjoy a banquet and program together. Mrs. Ruth Anderson is the sponsor of the Lower Latin Forum.

Upper Latin Activities One of the oldest and largest organizations at Byrd, the llpper Latin Forum, was founded in 1925 by Miss Hetty Ecker. Its membcrship of 150 is made up of second, third, and fourth year Latin students, as well as some who have completed two years of Latin but are not presently enrolled in it. The Forum attempts to bring about a growing interest in and an appreciation of the Latin language, and to in- crease its membcrs’ knowledge of the customs, literature, art, and religion of the Roman people. The Roman plan of government is carritd out in the naming of the officers of the Latin Forum. Instead of presidents, treasurer, secretar- ies, and sergeant-at-arms and parliamentarian, the officers are consuls, cjuacstor, scriba, and tribuni. In 1957 the Upper Latin Forum became an active chap- ter of thc Junior Classical League. Last summer seven dele- gates from Byrd attended the national convention of the J.C.L., which was held in Albutjuerque, New Mcxico. This year delegates to the convention will go to Bloomington, In- diana. The state Latin convention in Monroe, on March 10 and 11, was attended by 60 representatives from Byrd, ac- companied by their sponsors, Mrs. Ruth Anderson and Miss Irma Robinson. The dub also holds an annual Christmas party and spring banquet for its members. LPPER LATIN OFFICERS Scnba — ..

Barr ' Baile r , assistant pastor of the First Methodist Church in Shreveport. Leading Caddo Parish and the entire state in preparing worthwhile projects, the Byrd High School 4-H Club pro- motes interest in agriculture, dairying, and canning foods. Its members, who must be of high school age, are required to carry out a minimum project, keep a record of it, and submit a 4-H Club Record Book to parish agents by the end of every club year. They must also attcnd and participate either in Achievcmcnt Day, the Louisiana Parish or State Fairs, or the L.S.U. Spring Livestock Show. Frequently during the year experts in various fields are called upon to demonstrate modern methods of preserving foods, to show how to operate new dairy ecjuipment, and to teach proper care of stock and swine to the dub. For the year 1960 Carol Lindsey served as President and Mack Teer held the office of Treasurer of the Caddo Par- ish 4-H Exccutive Committee. Sharon McClure is the His- torian of this committee for 1961. Sponsored and advised by Mr. R. A. Smith, the 4-H Club constantly strives to practice its motto, ”To make the best better.” Bobby Young leads his calf into the trailer as he prepares to leave for the Louisiana State Fair.

If It Happened at HIGH The Byrd High Life, official newspaper of Byrd, is pub- lished once every three weeks during the school year and con- tains all the current news. The staff of the paper is divided into two groups, the Business and Editorial Staff. Thc art staff, journalism class s, and the membcrs which edit the paper make up the Editorial Staff, while the Business Staff is composed of the advertising and circulation groups. The High Life sponsors two contests during the year, the first of which is the ’Mr. and Miss Mistlctoe, the only school- wide popularity contest. The second is the ' Friendliest con- test during the spring in which a boy and a girl from each class are elected. An accurate record must be kept on all Ads put in the High Life.

Thc mighty football clock is constantly in the minds of the en- thusiastic crowd. A student will always remember those exciting games and look back with joy to thc pep assemblies, posters in the halls, dances, pep scjuad practice, l K tball practice, Homecoming Court, and all the fun he had during football season. The gym basketball clock is a driving force . . . with five cjuick players . .. with action every minute basketball is eagcrly attended and supported. As a symbol of track, thc stop watch niarks with pre- cious seconds the ability of the indi- vidual to concjuer time. Warm days come, and baseball is in the air; everyone rushes to the park after school and the relentless hand of the clock ticks away the precious game. Swimming, tennis and golf require training and many, many hours of hard work for an eager hopeful to become a successful athlete.

Thc commanders and deputy com- mandcrs of thc Patton Platoon are Tanncr Phillips, Rosc Ann Norton, Polly Outlaw and Donald Cave. Byrd High School s drill team, the Pat- ton Platoon, lives up to the high standard set by the other activities at Byrd. The drill team, commanded by Tanner Phillips and Donald Cave, performs at football games and downtown parades. The team sponsors a Community Birtbday Calendar and a baskct- ball game between the Patton Platoon and the instructors in order to raise funds to pay for its annual trip to Arlington, Texas, to compete with other units. The many hours of practice are supervised by Mastcr Sergeant James Lukosky, the platoon sponsor. . This year the Rifie Team has represented us very well by winning seven out of ten matches in the city small bore rifle league. They made the trip to Arlington, Texas, for the Fourth Army match. There they won first place with a score of 934 x 1000. The only team from the area, they will spend four or five days in Missouri at the Gimp Perry Rifle Match. Also, the team will probably attend the National Rifle Association sectional match. L First row; Tim Barnes. Bill Cummer, Milton Hamel. Second row: Sharron Schaffer, Jim Darr.

David broke a school record this year by firing 197 x 200 in a match with the Barks- dale Air Base team. This also equaled the individual record in the city league. The second team is also very vital to the success of our rifle team. They spend many long hours during the day and at night perfecting their shots. These boys fire in the prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing positions. Members of the team on the first row are Bobby Turner, Bill Hogg and Tommy Allen; second row, Winston Rice, Pete Cooper, Mitchell Wilcox, and Walter Fall.

Without music our livcs would lack beauty and form. Music gives substance to our drcams and covers arid spots in our imapnation. Music is the mastcr of the living, and through it spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world wcep and lau h and wonder and worship. Music is the incensc upon which praycrs float to Heaven. It speaks through the birds of the air, the insects of thc field, the crash of watcrs on rcxk- ribbed shores, the sighing of the w ' ind in the trecs, and thc clatter of w ' heels on city ' streets. Music is as much a part of our lives as life itself; it is the expression of our emotions of love, hate, joy, and sorrow. Our Marching Band plays an important role in the life at Byrd. Byrd Boasts Its Maintaining the fine tradition of our musical groups in the past, the Byrd Band, again this year, attaincd high goals through hard work and many hours of diligent practice. Participating in many activities, such as parades, concerts, performances for both competition and en- tertainment, supporting school athletic events, and playing for school assemblies kept the band busy and helped thcm to complete a very successful year. Two of the numerous parades the band marchcd in were the State Fair Parade in October and the Holiday in Dixie Parade in April. All home and three out-of-town football games wcre made compiete by the band as they supplied many minutes of enjoyable half-time entertainment and rousing music through- out the game. March included important engagements on the Without them the music department would never be complete. Band Is Best band ' s schedule. March I7th, they competed in the Festival at Natchitoches and returned with superior rating. With Bob Blowery as guest clarinetist, the band presented their Spring Concert along with thcir band king and queen on March 25th. As a high light honor of the ytar, Byrd received an invitation to march in the inagural parade in Washington; how- ever, due to insufficient funds, they were unable to accept the invitation. Having attended the try-outs in Natchitoches in January, four bandmen were elected to the All State Band. Thcy are Sherry Beede, Joyce Parker. George Shorter, and Bill Causey. Altcrnates are Camilla John- son and Kenny Evans. All in all, Byrd’s Band has had another ver) ' satis- fying and rewarding year to be proud of and remem- ber always.

Other highlights of the A Choir were the District Music Festival, the Spring Concert, a pro- gram presented by select members of the choir in the solo and ensemble festival, and entertainment for the North Louisiana Historical Association mecting.

Since its birth in 1957, the Byrd Orchestra has steadily advanced and gained state wide rec- ognition. Under the excellent direction of Mr. Caughey, orchestra beconus a rewarding and lasting experience. Hard practice and detcrmi nation result in a fuller appreciation of f ne music. To become a member of this advanced group, one must attcnd the try-outs and take music aptitude tests in rhythm, pitch, tempo, chords, melody, vision, and mathematics, all of which Mr. Caughey arrangcs.

The world of competition is filled with many hours of hard work and results in a world of accomp- lishments. With advertisements as a medium of knowing the manufacturer and consum- ers, the well being of the community is increased. This powcr of advertisement is a valuable possession, a dependency between business—to produce superior products —and the public—to like and buy their efforts. On the other hand the public expects the business world to supply them with the best and latest in products. Adver- tisement is the responsibility and possession of both business and the public, and both are reliant upon the power of the press for a better way of life. This downtown clock is symbolic of time and business. Rep- resenting the business of Byrd are these ad selling seniors: at 12 o’clock, Tommy Burr, Business Manager of the High Lije; at 2 o ' clock Bill Hunter, NFL salesman for football program; at 5 o’clock Joan Anderson of the Business Staff of the GUSH- ER. At 7 o’clock Martha Neff of the Business Staff of the High Life; at 8 o ' clock Mary’ Jane Hardtner of the National Forensic League; at 10 oclock Jimmy Jett of the Business Staff of the GVSHER ; at 11 o’clock Fat Marsh of the Red Cross, salesman for the Student Directory.
