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.
