THE YEAR OF THE BYRD In our school years, we sometimes find a very special person - one who is not the type of teacher who might tell us the assignment, give us the test, and then proceed, but a very different kind of person: an Educator. An Educator is one who tells us the assignment and gives us the test as well, but who also educates, or makes us better for our knowledge. One such Educator is Mrs. Joanne Byrd, a Chemistry and Physics teacher at Pine Forest. Named Educator of the Year by her fellow instructors, she tries to help students to achieve their great- est potential, feel better about them- selves, and be ready to take on the world when they leave? Pushing to- wards this goal, she answers the off-the- wall questions from students and some- times takes requests when performing experiments. Born in Haywood County, North Carolina, and educated in Brenau Col- Vicki Pike Mark Polk Ray Pope Mark Ratledge Noval Reid Emily Savage Ruina Senkovich Gwen Shaw Raymond Shipman Barbara Sledge Gloria Smith Lynn Smith Norman Snellgroves Billy Starks Carolyn Stevens faculty lege, Georgia, UNC-G, Campbell Uni- versity, the University of Virginia, and N.C. State, Mrs. Byrd keeps alive the Southern tradition of an extensive learning experience. She enjoys read- ing, travel, and needlework in her few spare minutes, and is fascinated by the world of science. Both of her parents were teachers, and Mrs. Byrd says that they were her greatest inspiration. They encouraged her to learn as much as she could and to pass the knowledge to others. To students, Mrs. Byrd offers this ad- vice: Never stop being curious about your world. Learn a little every day and try to leave this world a better place for your having been here.', Through her instruction in Chemistry and Physics, Mrs. Byrd tries successfully to help stu- dents toward this questing goal. With- out a doubt she is Pine Forestis Educa- tor of the Year. Q va ,W
