ime ur Lives Don't tell me itfs time for mid-term exams! Why, where did this semester go? Many students stop to ask this question as they found themselves midway in the school year. Studying hard during the week, but playing on week-ends made us think that there weren't enough hours in the day and enough days in the week to complete everything. Those of us who spent our time doing jobs that helped to im- prove the school should remember that we spent THE TIME ON OUR HANDS for Byrd.

Mrs. Daugherty Linda and ing the Teacher's Talent I0 dur- In one of the most entertaining assem- blies of the year, Hoyt Bain arrives by rope from the balcony! With eager anticipation the Byrd student body looks forward to entering each school event, whether it he taking a Merit Scholarship test, speaking at a debate tournament, or participating in a track meet. Knowing that everyone cannot take part in these activities, and that those who do enter into the activities always go into them knowing that the student body and faculty are behind them adds up to the encouragement needed to produce the large quantity of honors which are brought back to Byrd year after year by its students. Look back once more . . . were you the one that actually won the honor, or were you the one that did your best by backing the winner? Each is needed by the other and each has his part in our school.
