Eml»odied in the image of Byrd High School is an ideal represented hy the coat of arms appearing on our senior rings. Yet this ideal cannot l e stated in a single word; rather it is a comhination of images composing a whole. This year we have sought to hring the coat of arms to the attention of the student hody hy using its sections on the division pages. for each part of the coat of arms signifies a phase of school life. Then the theme of our l ook is this—the great seal of the city of Byrd. Every year as our graduates leave, each one carries with him the golden ring that has w r ithin itself a little of what those years have meant to him. Here they are— thrills of achievement, the torch of leadership, the wreath of honor, the symbol of mercury; disciplines of leaming the stars of activities, the chevron of advancement; the rewards of knowledge—the lamp of learning, the book of culture, the scale of justice. There are our medals of honor this year and forever—and we wear these proudly.

Yet, even with the pangs of sadness it leaves, we are carrying with us a treasure chest of memories to cherish forever, Kach of us will always remember the activities, competition, classes, spirit, and traditions which added another chap- ter to the enviahle history of C.
