Character, Leadership, Schol arship, and Service are the qualities uhich the National Honor Society strives to pro- mote. Induction of new mem- bers takes place in assembly. Mr. Duncan welcomed Linda West into the 1962-63 organiza- tion as old members watched and remembered their past year in this honor society. Septeniber 7, 1962, marked the beginning of a new school year for the students of Byrd. And with the addition of each day to the school-year calendar, a new activity was initiated. Preparation for school activities began in the summer, with participation in workshops and hours spent in planning. Football and pep squad membeis spent summer mornings and afternoons practicing for their performances, as did the cheerleaders, debate teams. and band members. As school life became a reality, clubs were joined, officers were selected. and programs once more were outlined. Several new clubs were ini- tiated, including the Key Club, Drama Club, Creative Writing Club, and the Debate Club. Stu- dent activities ranged from “victory dances,” to Brotherhood speeches in February, or from at- tending prayer groups to preparing assembly ban- ners. Complementing the school work, activities played an important part in the leaming processes of Byrd, each activity adding its own individual bit of knowledge, skill, or fun to each of us to be deposited in our treasure chest of memories. The anmial Peep Show is an activity eagerly awaited by the student body. Participation in the 1962 show included team members John Barber as “Miss Basketball,” Skipper Hardcastle as “Miss Outer Space,” Scotty Jones as “Miss Nature,” Hobert Pirtle as “Miss Biology,” and Sandy Dean as “Miss Sophomore.”

Activities . . . “Westward Ho!” was a musical put on by the A Choirjin November to promote spirit for Go West Day. Solos, choruses, and even a iuare dance enlivened the program. Julie Bland and John Upchurch were a few of ' the many participants. Besides the wisdom at- tained from school subjects, skills and good form are gained in sports. One of the activities engaged in by many Byrd students is par- ticipation in the swimming program. Hick Lenert spent hours perfecting his jack- knife dive. Occurring annually, Federal Inspection took place in April. Mr. Duncan was on hand as inspection of arms and personnel took place. The night before the GUSHEH was presented to the school the GUSHER staff held a secret party. At this time the staff saw their hard work as a final product to be viewed the next moming.
