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. Grow in Wisdom and Years 15
