Volume 48 1962 Edition C. E. Byrd High School Shreveport, Louisiana SAM BROWN Editor SHARON HARPER Associate Editor SUZANNE BOGAN Business Manager PEGGY GAFFNEY Advertising Manager I TO YOU ... THE ETERNAL SENIORS We, the present Seniors, as we realize, are only a fractional part of the enduring graduates of our City of Byrd. As we co ntinually look back over this final year, we find ours was a year of fulfilling hopes and building new cnes; a year of ending a part of our lives and beginning another. For it has been a spirit of singing joy—a spirit deeply saddened. It has been a face of smiling friendship—a I face of aching oneliness. It has been voices thundering at the games—a pair of footsteps in the quiet hall. You cannot forget them—you will not forget them, for eventually you will find your name among those to be remembered. So it happens that each year a class of Seniors must pass on to paths of the future Although never again may these graduates be an integral part of the City, each has left his or her impression upon Byrd. Not until time itse f sha l cease w 7 the flow of these lingering marks be termi • nated. It may be tt eir laughter, their happiness, their failures or success; their hopes and wishes for others who are soon to tread this endless road. So the GUSHER Staff, with emotion, dedicates this book to the many before, the many to come and to all Byrd has meant to them, to a l they will remember of it ... to ETERNAL SENIORS.

Our desires were fulfilled and hearts set aglow as the Ja § rs ' last game of the season ended with a Turkey Day victory. Participating in initiation procedures at the Quill and Scroll banquet for new members, Sam Brown, Rebecca Bruening, and Sharon Harper attempted to feed each other strained prunes while they remained blindfolded. of Action .... Byrd ' s glorious action all began on September 9 as its doors swung open, and summer once again was put away for another year of school activities. Hav- ing started school on Wednesday, stu- dents discovered that everything began to bustle by Friday night with the Jackets ' first football game against the Sulphur Tornadoes. As each season rolled around, action took shape in club meetings, ban- quets, tournaments, football games, bas- ketball games, track meets, assemblies, and traditional events such as the annual peep show and talent show. As a com- pletely new kind of activity took hold on the nation, Byrd, too, found itself thoroughly involved in a new swaying motion—the twist. With twisted knees, ankles, and backs, aching muscles, and dislocated hips, usually accumulated over the week-end, Byrdites found how really glorious action can be! Then mid-term came, and rounding the corner, Seniors found themselves caught in a whirl-pool of events and graduation activities. Maintaining the fine tradition of our mu- sical groups in the past, the band again attained high goals through many hours of hard practice.

Sidney Conley pauses to watch Don and Joe Lewis complete a mahogany and walnut mug. Linda Austin points out highlights on a map of Paris. Susan Storey, Miriam Minter, Martha Rush, Michelle Wyse, and Ronny Bigger watch and assist her. Bliss o Growth at Byrd comes to students the minute one enters its mighty doors. The variations of classes in which one may gain knowledge are many. Home economics, wood working, foreign lan- guages—French, Latin and Spanish, and bookkeeping are offered for future use along with the usual subjects English, math, and science. Musical abilities may be applied in any of Byrd ' s music op- portunities—the band, choir, or orches- tra. In October, Byrdites, along with other Louisiana high school students, attend- ed a lecture on communism, delivered at the Hirsch Memorial Youth Center. The future bliis of many girls often depends on her skill in the kitchen. In high school, girls may acquire this talent through home economics. An interested student begins by cooking while others watch with expectation. Miss LeBlanc ' s French classes acquire knowledge of their language other than just mastering it verbally. Growth ... These talks by two distinguished men gave students a better understanding and deeper appreciation of our nation ' s democracy, while increasing our knowl- edge of the evils of communism. A person ' s growth does not end with classes. To live, work, and share laugh- ter with approximately 2,000 fellow students is a growing experience for anyone. It is one ' s own personal growth that enables him to rise when he has fallen—to be humble when he has won. It is blissful growth in every path of life that makes a person, a student of Byrd, what he is—what he will be.

Perhaps the wonder of Byrd is best ex- pressed through the enormous amount of spirit displayed by her students. Observers often marveled at the tremendous burst of spirit which poured forth from Byrdites at football games, basketball games, or pep rallies as Jack the Jacket, symbolizing all they stood for, was raised on the shoulders of his humble servants. Somehow it gave them confidence in knowing that, whether the Jackets won or lost, all would be for the best. Elections played a big role in Byrd ' s won- der of spirit. Halls full of banners, posters, and hand-outs and a parking lot filled with decorated cars are signs that election time has rolled around, whether it be for cheer- leaders, student council, class officer, or Elections play a big role In Byrd ' t wonder of spirit. Barbara Harper, Betty Wilson, and Oixie McConnell decorated a car as Student Council elections took full swing. Quite unbelievably, snow had begun to fall. Letting off some fast-generated steam, Carl Greco, Mike Westmoreland, Jimmy Cole- and Joe lewis aimed dangerous weapons known as snowballs. of Spirit ... others. Unbelievably, on Tuesday, the 9th of January, snow began to fall, and a new zest filled the halls of Byrd. Unable to sub- due bursts of de light, students bounded from the building as school was let out. In a mat- ter of seconds, the air was contaminated with dangerous weapons—snowballs, many of which found their proposed targets! How- ever, after one week of no school, and hav- ing found that snow can become quite an in- convenience, Byrdites returned on the fol- lowing Monday ready to dig in with one week left before mid-term. Spirit became de- termination in our studies as it had been in our play, showing us the magic of scholastic achievement. And so it remains, wonder- bright, the very essence of our lives. Invoking school spirit for the Byrd-Fair Park clash, students took part in Go West Day activities as a precedence to the traditional Turkey Day game. Spirits zoomed skyward on the night of January 30 when the Jackets met the Woodlawn Knights in a conference game at Byrd. Even the much used Smite the Knights banner, saved from the victorious football game, found itself flying high once again. Displaying the spirited action which spurred the Jackets on for a 62-45 victory over the Knights, Stephen Stewart drives for a lay-up while closely guarded by Woodlawn ' s Jimmy Kneipp. 15 Yesterday ... A Byrdites were once again proud of their basketball team ' s fine record and captured title of District 1-AAA Champions. Coaches Scotty Robertson and John Harkness give instructions to player Richard Whitehead while members of team listen In an important district gam e. The last assembly took place, and students began to realize that the year was nearly over. For Seniors, it meant the end of high school and a heart full of memories. For sophomores and juniors, it meant another year to look forward to. Students listened attentively while Mr. Duncan reminded them of all this. Impressive and memorable was the ROTC ball which started the year rolling for the officers, spon- sors, and cadets. Lieutenant Col- onel Russel Herron and lieutenant Colonel Sponsor Linda Hamel pass through the arch of steel as part of the ball ' s ceremonies. Having worked hard and long on the GUSHER, members of the staff celebrated a completed book with a skiing party at the end of the year. Suzanne Bogan, Sharon Harper, Karen Carlson, Peggy Gaffney, Margaret Quinn, Vicki Meador, John Smith, Cindy Davis, Mary Lindsey, Alice Barnett, and Ellen Jenkins are towed, tickled, and nearly drowned, as they are pulled through the water on rafts. Dream of Happiness One looks before and after And pines for what is not— For happiest dreams are Yesterdays With memories unforgot— As the 1961-62 school session drew to an end, students began to realize how fast it had all gone; another year of life at Byrd was to be put away with memories and dreams of Yesterday. Among these remem- brances would be the football victories—the basketball team ' s title of District 1-AAA Champion—the impressive ROTC ball—the ecstasy of the Junior Prom—the horrors of research themes, homework, and mid-term tests—the unexpected snow holidays—new friends and teachers—the last assembly—the graduating seniors—the end of the year. Hav- ing reminisced happily, one must realize that not even the briefest moments can ever come again. With this thought, Byrdites took a last look backwards at Yesterday, then turned to face Tomorrow with visions of hope and purpose. A night long to be remembered is the Junior Prom. It merks the end of en enjoyable junior yeer and the soon-to-come beginning of an anticipated senior year. With stars in their eyes and shining above them, members of the 1960-61 Junior Prom Court began the firtt dance following the crowning of Queen Karen Carlson and King James Fleet Howell. Happiness often comes from putting oneself, time, and efforts into something worthwhile. Gail Purtell and Margie Williams shared their happiness with others as they pantomimed a record at Byrd ' s annual talent show. |Symboliz ng the hope of our country, the hope of the future, ne flag of the United States is saluted before each football game with the jing- ing of the Star Spangled Banner after a prayer. Mem- bers of the team awaited the complet in of the song be- fore rusning on the field for a hopefjl victory. Their senior year having nearly come to an end, students be- gan to find themselves involved in graduation activities, such as ordering caps and gowns, checking their credlts, and await- ing letters of acceptance to the colleges of their choice. Hank Gowen, Cliff Thomas, Nancy Waltman, Johnny Kirkland, Jerry Bond, and Harriet Hitl took part in these preparations as they ordered their invitations and name cards. With the end of each day follows the realization that Tomorrow will soon become today. Never knowing what the future may hold, students find visions of hope through Byrd—its teachers . . . its impressions . . . its dreams . . . its understanding. Under her wings, classes have come and gone, each leaving their individual mark within the never forgotten halls of their beloved alma mater. In truth, Byrd is her students ' vision of hope—a firm and loyal backbone for her graduating seniors—a companion and teacher for her growing juniors and sophomores. Tomorrow ... A In October, Byrdites attended a lecture on Communism delivered at Hirsch Memorial Youth Center. Students rode on fa r Grpunds to led n the evils of this form of government, for they will be the future hope for combating it. It was the last football game of the year, the traditional Turkey Day game. Junior members of the Pep Squad sang a sentimental farewell song to the senior girls wishing them love, luck, and understanding for a hopeful future. One must remember that though today may go all wrong—Tomorrow holds promise of a clean, fresh start, a chance to prove all ' s right with the world. Now one lingers at sundown recalling his accomplishments . . . imperfections . . . and memories, knowing that in the afterglow will come Tomorrow with its challenges . . . its dreams . . . its visions of hope—. For remember when the sun goes down, It returns with a bright Tomorrow . . The hope of our future may someday lie in our military forces. Visions of sharp, alert, and well trained officers and cadets are the goals of the ROTC. Members of Byrd ' s unit executed fine precision and performances throughout the year. Vision of Hope 19 The light of achievement so shines in honor that it is a beacon to stu- dents calling them to strive to attain. Honor cannot be bought with triv- ialities,- it is the culmination of pains- taking effort and the desire to ex- cel. It cannot be achieved in one day, one week, or one month; it is a prod- uct of time. Byrd bestows upon her deserving students such honors. These serve as a goal to seek, which sophomores, juniors, and seniors alike look to with hope and hold with pride. The field of honor is a field anyone may contend upon. It is avail able to all, withheld from none. It is a symbol of the same greatness our country has been built upon. It is the reward for the worthy. Many of our students will in some way be connected with the legisla- tive, executive and judicial proceed- ings of our community. These impor- tant civic duties were carried on in the Victorian courthouse of 1912 just as they are in the middle of the downfow«pcinity today. Taking a loolt nto wne past are some of the horor recl ients of Byrd.

In 1959 the Byrd High School chapter of the American Field Ser- vice was organized. It is jointly sponsored by the Student Body of Byrd and the Shreveport Rotary Club. The eight dub members meet with their sponsor, Mrs. Dorothy Hanks, once a month after schod to make plans for the program at Byrd and to study and discuss world affairs. A.F.S. strives to further understanding and good will among the peoples of the world. The members do this by bringing teenage stu- dents from abroad to live in American homes and to study in the high schools of the United States. American teenagers, in return, are sent to other countries to live with chosen families, either during the summer or for the year, to attend the foreign schools. Byrd ' s members of this national organization participate in the local screening program with the purpose of finding students to go abroad and families willing to share their homes for the school year with foreign students. All the members of the A.F.S. made posters to advertise the show- ing of slides which Jeff Dykes took while he was in Brazil this past summer as Byrd ' s exchange student.

Source of Memories Last August, eighteen delegates represented Byrd at the American-Legion sponsored Pelican Girls ' State and Pelican Boys ' State. The delegates, sponsored by leading civic groups, were elected by the faculty and members of the junior class in the spring of their junior year on the basis of character, leader- ship, scholarship, and cooperation. During their ten day residence in the mythi- cal states, representatives from schools in all parts of the state experienced the problems and rewards encountered in city, parish, and state government as they ran for offices in the three divisions and constructed mythical projects requiring much research and detail. Byrd delegates achieved many honors and offices during their citizenship in the state of Pelican. The girls received the honors of Outstanding Citizen and Miss Pelican State, the first time to be awarded, and the state office of Secre- tary of State. The boys received the honors of Outstanding Citizen, outstanding presiding officer, and the Louisiana delegate to Boys ' Nation. Because of this opportunity to study government in an interesting and mean- ingful manner, the eighteen returned with memories and knowledge which they will cherish and exhibit all their life. Alternates on the first row are Karen Fiser, Malcolm Graham and Sherry Beede; on the Second Row are Jerry Drummond, Pat Neild and Richard Whitehead.

Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service are the qualities which the National Honor Society strives to pro mote throughout Byrd. The Grover C. Koffman Chapter of the National Honor Society was established in 1935 and is spon- sored by Miss Bernice Phipps and Miss Virginia Chadick. New members are carefully selected by the faculty on the basis of a student ' s character, leadership ability, and the serv- ice he has rendered the school. Students in the junior and senior class who have a B average are eligible for member- ship. In their junior year, new members of the Society usher and distribute diplomas during the graduation exercises. This year, for the first time, the senior members of the Society par- ticipated in the organization of the guide tours for incoming sophomores on Orientation Day. Additional projects of the Society include the planning of the Homecoming Assembly and the assembly for the induction of new members. After graduation, faculty members at assigned stations with a junior N.H.S. member, check to see that each senior turns in his cap and gown.

The three o ' clock bell hardly rings be- fore a mass of students converge up- on the halls, each going to his own meeting. The students make the activ- ities; it is through their hard work and devoted hours that each school project is carried out. Just as each activity has built a part of Byrd ' s foundation and become a part of her busy schedule, it has provided the stepping stones for our maturity and has found its place in our thoughts. Although each activity has developed our minds and our talents, its influence goes a great deal further. ACTIVITIE8 The parliamentary procedure, the re- sponsibility, the mutual cooperation and the friendship present in every Byrd organization has its own pro- found effect upon each member. Thus we will leave Byrd and enter the world with a mind and a body prepared to make us better citizens of tomorrow. People running, people being in- volved in a whirlwind of activity are always in and out of the Post Office. Consequently, this building has come to symbolize the bustle of business. Our first Post Office of 1912 was filled with derks in knickers and in bustles, but the business was transacted there is still the sfcme. The seniors are truly prepared jr a lifetime of work and meetings lroug h their days at Byrd. First row: Diana Dry, President of the Red ■ Cross; Suzanne Bogan, Business Manager of the GUSHER.

By outsiders Byrd is usually thought of as a city lead- ing in sports and scholastic achievements. And to the citizens of our city, remembrances of bus trips, parties, track meets, baseball games, and studies fill our minds. But the Heart of Byrd is more than these things—it is the time and efforts spent without recognition in helping others. Chapel services, prayer group meetings, and Brother- hood week exemplify well the desire of the citizens to become better people as representatives of their families and of their school. Interdenominational chapel services create an atmosphere of quiet meditation in which stu- dents can pray and come closer to God before the day begins; thus they are able to start the day in a better frame of mind. Prayer groups began several years ago when a group of students decided to meet once a week for the purpose of growing in Godliness. Meetings in members ' homes set an informal mood which gives young people a chance to learn about religious beliefs of others and to discuss the problems which are theirs today. During Brotherhood week, February 19-23, Byrd students representing different faiths spoke to schools and civic organizations throughout the city. In these ways the Heart of Byrd reached out to influence the community. Without these organizations that manifest a deeper feeling throughout Byrd, our city would not be what it is. Not many people remember these organizations as well as the others, but anyone who has participated in any of them has become a better person within, ready to face the world with a better disposition and a clearer conscience because of the joy he has come to know by giving instead of receiving. Discussing t h e i r speeches for Brotherhood week are Maridine Wall, Bill B I u m b e r g, Alex Bell, Chuck Levy, Margaret Quinn, and Carol Zaffater. Listening attentively to one of the parts in the Prayer Group discussion, these stu- dents learn more about other reli- gions. Ann Creegan, Hannah Kottle and Bonnie Pevy deposit can goods for the Christ- mas basket for needy families. Distributive Education Offers Distributive Education is a vocational training program for high school students who work in retail, wholesale, and serv- ice-selling fields.

Although a small group, the Byrd 4-H is an organiza- tion to be proud of. At dawn we see a boy working hard with his cow, and in the evening a girl is found closing the top of a pressure cooker. These are the 4-H members. This club is very fortunate to have the lead- ership of Mr. R. A. Smith and Miss Lou Johnson who are sponsoring the club. The 4-H motto, To Make the Best Better, has long been lived up to by these respon- sible people. Among their projects are some pertaining to agriculture and to the improvement of home life in general. Also, it is required of a member to attend and participate either in the Achievement Day, the Louisiana Parish or State Fairs, or the Baton Rouge Livestock show. Members have several chances to display their works. At the State Fair in Shreveport all entries are judged and graded accordingly. In the last days of the fair the real value of the 4-H is apparent as a prize steer may bring several thousand dollars. 4-H members are active peopie.

Mrs. Eleanor Blatterman, Mrs. Margaret Pur- vis, and Mrs. Martha Allen are sponsors of the club, which is also dedicated to providing girls with an interesting and instructive outlet. F.H.A. activities are numerous and varied. They include regular chapter meetings, a state convention in the fall, a parish meeting in the winter, a district gathering in the spring, and a summer leadership conference. An annual function held by Byrd ' s club in the spring is the Mother-Daughter Banquet, at which the of- ficers for the coming year are installed. Byrd students held four parish offices last year. They were: Cherye Riser, vice president; Betty Covington, secretary; Becky Sandifer, treasurer; and Chris Pate, historian.

It holds its meetings on the second Tuesday of each month, where programs of great interest to all the members are presented. Since its founding in 1948, the Library Club has done an excellent job by improving li- brary service within the school and stimulat- ing reading interests. These are their two main goals. As well as these goals, the members strive to get to know each other in a social way.

Serving Byrd since 1957, the Visual Aid Club is an organization of students who operate the film pro- jectors for the benefit of the students and teachers. The students who make up this organization give up their study halls each day so that they may be available at any period during the day to show films. Besides the students meeting each day, the club also meets once a month during activity period. The visual aid room is located on the second floor, next to the library. The thirty-eight members must know how to operate the different types of equip- ment such as: tape recorders, phonographs, film strips, and projectors. Organized in 1957 by Mrs. Tindol, the club is now sponsored by Mrs. Martin. Learning how to thread projectors is just one of the jobs a visual aider must learn to perform. Richard Carruth, Judy Worley, and Kat Conly watch as Dick Wolf teaches this. Demonstrating the use of the tape recorder are Steve Hidalgo, Ed Wedin, Jimmy Palmer, Albert Simms, and Mac Griffith.

Also active in the club are former students who have continued their interest in the language. Following the Roman form of government, the club has two consuls, two scribae, a quaestor, and two tribunes. Among the activities undertaken each year are an annual Christmas party, a celebration of National Latin Week, and a spring banquet in the style of the ancient Romans. The Forum, with 217 members, is the largest chapter of the Louisiana Junior Classical League, an organization of high school clubs. The club, which sponsors a trip to the state convention held annually in cities throughout the state, last year journeyed to Monroe. Each summer delegates are sent to the National Convention. Through these activities, both local and national, which encourage members to learn about the life and customs of the ancient Romans, the Upper Latin Forum strives to increase awareness and appreciation of the great debt of our culture to the classics.

Programs of this na- ture are presented at the monthly meetings.

Sponsored by Major Larmoyeaux, the Science Club is one of the more recently formed clubs at Byrd. The main purpose of the club is to create interest in science and scientific happenings. Although it is not required, most of the members undertake a project during the year. If a student wishes, he may enter his project in the State Fair which is held annually at the fair grounds in Shreveport. Last year three students entered projects in the Science Fair, winning two first places and a second place in their respective areas. In state competition Dewey Schwartzenburg won first place in Louisiana and went to the national tournament.

New Club Plans Future Left: Arnold Cannon, President Right: Jimmy Bourg, Vice President Left: Jimmy Davenport, Secretary Right: Denman Shaffer, Treasurer Introduced in the fall of 1961, the Byrd Industrial Arts Club was formed for the purppse of widening and deepening the knowledge of the students in this technological age, to motivate regular school work, and to promote the Industrial Arts program in our state. The club is sponsored by Mr. L. L. Brown and Mr. H. F. Holman, both teachers in the Industrial Arts Department. The club was represented at the Indus- trial Arts Fair held at Northwestern State College on February 21 and attended the Louisiana Industrial Arts Club Incorporated convention in Lafayette on March 16th and 17th. The club features speakers and field trips and helps sponsor the Byrd Track events. The school year was climaxed by a banquet held on May 26th.

Service Through Red Cross Instituted to serve others, the Junior Red Cross has not only provided Byrd students with the Student Di- rectory and the First Aid room, but it has also sponsored drives to fill gift boxes for children overseas and to provide happiness for others at home by filling Christ- mas boxes to be distributed locally. On various holidays members make artistic decorations for the hospitals in Shreveport. Several members have volunteered to give their time and assistance at the Vet- erans Hospital during the summer. At the kick-off banquet, which is held in September of each year, the chairmen of varicus committees are named. The functioning committees are typing, social service, art, publicity, work shop, Student Directory, and Student Council. The members of these committees initi- ated a new series of general meetings for the entire Red Cross enrollment this year. Also at the beginning of the year a representative and alternate are elected from each home room to attend the monthly meeting. Mrs. Matlock is the faculty sponsor for the Red Cross this year and Mrs. Shilub, a registered nurse, is the First Aid rocm spcnsor.

It aids in citizenship training by providing opportunities for students to learn democratic skills and to practice good citizenship. The Student Council seeks to co-ordinate the activity program and to sponsor projects which will benefit the entire school. This organization is composed of an executive committee which consists of six officers elected by the student body, fourteen standing committee chair- men appointed by the President, and representatives elected from home rooms. Some major projects which have been undertaken by the Council this year, in addition to the numerous services performed by the committees, are Go West Day, a Faculty Luncheon, Leadership Day, Career Day, Basketball Day, Woodlawn Day, and the annual Talent Show. Byrd High School is a member of the National, Southern, and State Associations of Student Councils. Delegations were sent to the National Convention in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; the National Student Council Leadership Conference at Estes Park, Colo- rado,- the Southern Convention in Amarillo, Texas; the Louisiana State Convention in Springhill; and the Louisiana State Workshop at Lafayette.

HIGH LIFE Makes At eight o ' clock on Friday morning Billy Perry, Tommy Perry, Brian Morris, Barry Firestone, and Gerald Green meet the printer and deliver the papers to the High Life room. From the journalism classes come the High life reporters. Tom Landon explains some special features of the front page to a group of students. Assistant Advertising Managers, Harold Holt and Becky McNair, along with Sharon Huckaby and David Leigh, the Advertising Man- agers, place the ads on the page in a descending order before the At the Tulane Conference in 1960, the High Life was judged Louisiana ' s best high school newspaper. The same year the newspaper won a Quill and Scroll International Honor rating. The High Life, official school newspaper, is published ten times a year and covers all cur- rent news at Byrd. The Business and Editorial Staffs work together to put out the paper. The Editorial Staff consists of the art staff, journalism classes, and members who edit the paper. The advertising and circula- tion groups make up the Business Staff. The High Life stresses the importance of stu- dent contribution to the paper and urges those interested to submit suggestions and writings. As James Fleet Howell and Carol Stone, Business Managers, check over the record of ads sold, Barry Firestone, Circula tion Manager, pauses to show them the new High Life that has just arrived. Memories Tangible The newspaper sponsors two contests during the school year. The Mr. and Miss Mistletoe con- test reveals the most popular boy and girl in the school. A boy and a girl from each class are elected for the Friendliest contest. Mrs. Zachery Breazeale and Miss Betty Law- rence are Business and Art advisor respectively, while Mrs. Zona Moore Connally and Mrs. Doris Ann Bryan served the Editorial Staff as advisors in 1961-62. In 1961 the Byrd High Life received a First Class Award from the National Scholastic Press Association and a Medalist Rating from the Co- lumbia Scholastic Press Association. Woody Pirtle and Gwen Talbot, Art Editors, plan how the art work wjll ap- pear in the next High Life issue. Pam Thomas is the other Art Staff member. V r V % 5 jfi 2 i i 1 JttH Gerald Anders, Sports Editor, types a write-up of a recent bas- ketball game as Bettie Wilson, Personality Editor, watches. Without the Advertising Stafi the High Life would not be possible. The ad salesmen are Jean Hunter, Barbara Deny, Kay Phillips, Sharon James, Sue Anna Moss, Mary Jo Kendall, Roxanne King, Harold Holt, Donna McClendon, Becky McNair, Judy Worley, and Louise Jordan. 75 HIGH LIFE Presents a Vivid iTV In the present senior class we have four students who have been selected the friendliest in the contest sponsored by the High Life. John Fullilove and Alice Barnett won the Friendliest contest as juniors, and Alex Bell and Margaret Quinn won in their sophomore year. Senior winners were Marcia Maher and Deane McKinley. News editors, Pam Bates and Becky Jones, Feature Editor, Dar- lene Daniel, and News Editor, Calvin Bains, read an exchange paper from another school for ideas. Keith McKinney and Anne Despujols congratulate Gary Pittman and Melanie McCain on being chosen Mr. and Miss Mistletoe. Students in a journalism class read the latest issue of the High life. The newspaper ' s reporters come from the journalism class. Picture of Happenings at Byrd High Life reporters look over and discuss exchange papers from other schools for ideas. Every spring members of the High Life Staff talk to the sophomores about working on the school paper. Pam Bates points out some of the aspects of news- paper work to members of the class. Mrs. Zachery Breazeale, Business Staff sponsor, talks to the ad salesman about the technique of selling advertising. 77 Gushers Provide On their way to mail the final copy of the GUSHER are Co-editor Sharon Harper and Editor Sam Brown. Return proofs are separated into various classes by Charlcie Whitesides, Stephen Stewart, Karen Carlson, Blocker Thornton, and John Smith. Trying to produce a better yearbook than ever before, the GUSHER staff members are hard at work all year long planning and designing. The staff is divided into three departments: the editorial staff, who plan and design each page of the GUSHER; the business staff, who are hard at work selling advertisements; and the art staff, wh 5 design the cover and do all of the art work connected with the GUSHER. Again taking top honors, the GUSHER of 1961 acquired an A+ rating in the National School Yearbook Association and lst place in the Col- umbia Scholastic Press Associaticn. Miss Sanders is the sponsor of the editorial section of the GUSHER, and Miss Harris is the sponsor of the business staff. Keeping a chart on all advertisements sold is part of the work done by Advertising Manager Peggy Gaffney and Business Manager Suzanne Bogan. Returning proofs to the students who had their picture made are editorial staff members Pat Neild, Vi West, Mike Causey, and Alice Barnett. Lasting Memories Many idcas for our GUSHER come out of yearbooks from hundreds of other schools. Cindy Davis, Jim Parker, Margaret Quinn, Susan Shavin, Helen Heard and Larry Edgemon look through these annuals. Delivering the GUSHERS to the students on the big day that they arrive is a big thrill to these business staff members: Linda Madole, Donna Lou Valliere, Ellen Jenkins, Mary Lindsey, Linda Creel, and Marcia Maher. On their way to sell advertisements are business staff members Van Schroeder, Kathy Macpherson, and Carolyn McCary. The GUSHER staff not only has the yearbook to assemble, but also has many odd jobs that must be done. Editorial staff mem- bers Gaye Gilster, Lallage Spence, Jack Selber, and Linda Burroughs run off aciditional picture schedules in the ditto room. 79 GUSHERS Highlight Senior turn in activity heett which tell what each participated in during hi la t year a a citizen of Byrd.

The world has expressed its feelings more vividly through music than words ever could. Music is a part of every life, every thought, every mind. Its somber cloak express- es grief as vividly as its bright dress denotes gaiety. Music is a part of our life at Byrd, also. The beauty of the choir, the lilting rhythm of the band, the sparkling notes of the or- chestra, each belong to the students of Byrd. We entered Byrd reading the unfamiliar words of the Alma Mater, and it seems just as we have learned these words, we will be leav- ing hearing the strains of ' ' Pomp and Circumstance. Retaining the charm of the turn of the century amid a profusion of steel skyscrapers is the fifty year old sym- phony house. Just as Byrd takes pride in her musical departments, Shreveport enjoys the finest enter- tainment in the fields through the music of her many cultural organiza- tions. Many Seniors take part in and lead the notes which keep the spirit and entertainment of Byrd High. First row: Sallye Stevens, Majorette of the Drum Corps,- Bill Hogg, Captain of the Band.

Masters of Music ln addition to pre- senting several other programs during the year, the Byrd A Choir inspired the en- tire city of Byrd on the Christmas pro- gram. Mancy Shaver and Candy Coombs have served as the Choir Librarians this year. The rating of superior was received by Lora Heckman, orchestra member, who played a viola solo at the music festival in Natchito- ches.

He spends much time helping his students individually as well as in the group. 86 Appreciates Fine Music Playing in the Byrd Orchestra is a group activity which brings students together socially for worthwhile cultural attainment. Benefits derived from playing good music begin with pleasure and end with a feel- ing of accomplishment. What better way would one want to spend his leisure time and at the same time earn regular elec- tive credits which count toward gradu- ation? Playing a musical instrument well takes high-powered concentration, extremely good coordination, a keen ear, an appre- ciation of rhythm, and the will to strive for improvement. If one wants competi- tion or a chance to demonstrate his abili- ties, he will find plenty of this in the Dis- trict Music Festivals in February and March and with the All-State Orchestra in No- vember. Field trips are taken to various parts of the state and are enjoyed by all. The All-State Orchestra was chosen this year to appear at the Louisiana Teach- ers Association Convention in conjunction with the All-State Choir. Byrd Orchestra members have a good chance of being chosen for this honor and look forward for this event to occur annually. To become a member of this organiza- tion, a student may try out for any section in the Orchestra including Woodwinds, Brass, Strings, or Percussion. Mr. Caughey, conductor for our Or- chestra, was elected chairman of the Or- chestra Division of the Louisiana Music Educators Association this year. Jack Levy, Al Fannin, Lora Heckman, and John Kite make up this year ' s String Quartet, playing first violin, second violin, viola and cello respectively. Taking a breather before time for rehearsals are Joan Minder, Sharon Col- dron, and Catherine James. Those performing in the String section are Jack Levy, first violin; Al Fannin, second violin; Joan Minder, third violin; Danny Scarborough, string bass; Lora Heckman, viola; and John Kite, cello. Concert Master, Jack Levy, is getting some helpful information from Mr. Caughey. 87 Byrd “A” Choir Entertains Choir members spend many hours of diligent work preparing for the performances of the A Choir. Very active and hard-working are just two adjectives that may be applied to the Concert Choir of 1961-1962. Aside from special performances for the Homecoming, Christmas, and special school assemblies, the choir has also been in demand to sing at luncheons and meetings of several civic groups and organizations. Among these are the Caddo Heights Baptist Church, the Associational Ministerial Convention, Choir Parents Club meetings, and many others. Each year the Concert Choir works for several main goals. Two of these are the district festival perform- ances at Northwestern State College and the state festi- val at Louisiana Tech. For the past several years, the choir has placed in the top ratings for all the events entered, including concert singing, sight reading, solo, and ensemble, and has won plaques, cups, and medals. Another goal worked toward by the choir is the operetta. The members take on themselves all the re- sponsibilities of producing the entire show, on stage and off. The performance is always excellent and highly enjoyable to the choir as well as the audience. Our choir always polishes off the year with the best of its music in the annual spring concert, giving the last and most colorful performance of a year filled with work, fun, and music. Officers of the A Choir are: Martha Worley, President; Diane Catanese, Vice President; Cliff Thomas, Ser- geant-At-Arms; Laurie Wilson, Robe Custodian; Nancy Shaver, Librarian. in Performances Serving as accompanists for the A Choir are: Seafed, Diane Catanese, Standing, Dee Brookings.

Band Favorites BILL HOGG and DOTTIE RACHAL were announced in the November 18th issue of the HIGH LIFE. Dottie has been a member of the A Band for three years, playing the clarinet the entire three years. Serving as an As- sistant Band Librarian, she is responsible for seeing that the music is properly filed and stacked. Playing the cornet, Bill has also been in the A Band for the last three years. Serving as Assistant Uniform Manager in his sophomore year, Junior Lieutenant in his junior year, Bill was elected as Band Captain for the 1962 season. Band Members Honor FAVORITES DRUM MAJOR STEVE BEADLES has been a member ot the Byrd Band tor three years. During the marching season Steve, along with the other drum major, directs the Band, while preparing for a show. He is a member of the Band Council, and during the concert season he plays the baritone. Serving as one of the DRUM MAJORS this year, HARRY McKENZIE held the title of Assistant Drum Major for the 1961 Band. Playing the baritone— saxophone, Harry has been a member of the Band for four years and a member of the Band Council for two years. 91 As well as presenting very entertaining performanc es throughout the year, the Marching Band added much to the splrlt of Byrd.

And this is true, for the Byrd Band, besides being downright enjoyable to listen to and watch, is one of Byrd High Schoors best public relation agents. Maintaming the fine tradition of our musical groups in the past, the Byrd Band, again this year, attained high goals through hard work and many hours of diligent practice. Participating in many activities, such as pa- rades, concerts, performances for both compe- tition and entertainment, supporting school ath- letic events, and playing for school assemblies kept the band busy and helped them to complete a very successful year. After many long hours of much hard work, the Band ' s efforts were rewsrded by self-satisfaction. of Byrd “A” Band During the school year, the band competed in the District Music Festival at Ruston and received a superior rating. Two of the numerous parades the band marched in were the State Fair Parade of Bands in October and the Holiday in Dixie Parade in May. All home and several out-of-town football games were made complete by the band as they supplied many minutes of enjoyable half- time entertainment and rousing music through- out the game. Perhaps the finest honor that the Byrd Band has ever received was the invitation to represent the United States at the World Music Festival in Kerk- rade, Holland. However, this invitation was de- clined due to insufficient funds.

This feeling is accompanied by a deep sense of pride in the heart of every Byrd student . . . pride for the team whether they win or lose . . . pride for the skill they have achieved, for the months of work they have spent. Our athletic department has always brought honor to Byrd and to Shreve- port, whether it is in the form of wihning or taking defeat with a 8P0RTS smile. The incentive to strive always to do a little better characterizes our teams. The scores of the games will soon be a part of the forgotten past, but the spirit and sportsmanship will always be a part of our memories of Byrd. The race track of 1912 was the scene of thrilling entertainment just as the football stadium is today. The citizens of the early nineteenth cen- tury put work aside to flock to the fairgrounds on a Sunday afternoon. In like manner the busy schedules of 1962 $re interrupted for thousands to enjfy urierica ' s favorite sports.

Second row: Lesley Cook, David Berkley, Mike Temple, Kent Hubble. Formed in 1961, the cross-country team is coached by Woodrow Turner. After much hard study, Coach Turner was able to see that having cross-country runners would be a benefit to the track team. One reason for this group was to get the boys in shape for track season ahead of time. Another is to give the boys who do not get a chance to run in other events an opportunity to ex- cel in this race. To qualify for the race, a boy must be very strong, physically and mentally, as the race varies, from 216 to 316 miles. The course at Byrd is much like that of the colleges. In our events the boys run twice around the track, then once around the block, and then come back to run another lap around the track to finish. The thirteen members who compose this team traveled to such schools as Ruston, Minden, and Bossier High School. Starting on the fir t lap of the cro -country race, Ruston leads the way while Byrd it till far behind. Byrd ended up winning the race placing first and second.

In his first year as head coach for Byrd, Nicky Lester had a fine year as the Jackets compiled a 12-8 record for the season. After winning their first four out of five games, the Jackets finished in the district with a 6-4 record. The Jackets have two members who were chosen All-District and All-City-Alton Thomas and Billy McCullar, both of whom are returning to the squad this year. Some outstanding players for the year were John Stringer, Don Easterwocd, Jimmy Caskey, Saxby Cham- bliss, and Bookie Shillcut. This year should be a year of rebuilding for Byrd with only three returning lettermen—Billy McCullar, Alton Thomas, and Dickey Dunn. Squadmen to see action from last year are Dwain Jaccbs, Fleet Howell, Blocker Thorn- tcn, Andy Hamilton, John Barber, and Sydney Boone.

This season added even more victories as they haven ' t lost a match since 1957. They breezed right through victories at Commerce, Texas, Fair Park, Bossier, El Dorado, Bolton, and Galveston,- from there it was an easy jump to the District Championship in Ruston and the State Championship in Baton Rouge. The Jackets are coached by Franklin AAcCarter. Team standouts are lettermen Linda Hamel, Richard Campbell, Margaret Bray, and Sandra Mitchell. Contributing greatly to the Jackets ' outstanding season were: Susybelle Lyons, Danny Scarborough, Jack Wilkerson, David Allen, and Ellen Woodruff. I .Vv ' ] Also showing off their rackets for the Jackets were: Jerry Drummond, Mary Dial, Hugh llgenfritz, and Paul Drummond.

The lone returning letterman is Van Schroeder, and he will lead future prospects Raymond Rouleau, Pete Cooper, Bill Bailey, and Bobby Jahnke. If the team continues to pro- gress, as they have won the first two matches in 1962 by wide margins, Byrd should have another fine season. Coach J. D. Cox and Coach John Rogers instruct the golf team. BOBBY JAHNKE—Squadman Junior Correct form is important in golf as Barry Eiland is demonstrating for teammates Jeff Murphy, Bobby Jahnke, Rex Durham, Doug Miller, and Fred Odom. RONNIE PLANCHARD—Squadman Junior BUTCH MARSALIS—Squadman Junior BILLY PERRY—Relay Yellow Jackets Runner- Again the site for the state swimming meet was Minden, Louisiana. Due to a mix-up on the medley relay, the Yellow Jackets failed in a try for their fifth State Championship in six years as Istrouma ' s boys captured the title with a three point advantage over the runner-up Yellow Jackets. The mix-up came when the Yellow Jackets were left out of the medley relay because the time of the event was changed without the Jackets being notified about it. Had the Jackets entered, they would have scored four points for sure unless they were disqualified. These points would have provided the margin for Byrd to become State Champs. Minden won first place in the girl ' s competition. How- ever, Byrd led in unofficial over-all scoring. There were a number of individual honors throughout the meet with many of them going to the Yellow Jacket swimmers. About the biggest honor came when Judy Smith CLINT MILLER-50 and 100 meter freeatyle WALT FALL-Relay JUDY SMITH-100 and 200 meter freestyle Members of the girl ' s swimming team are Sherry Parker, Claudette Wright, Darlene Britt, Mary McWilliams, and Barbara Kendrick. 148 Up in State was voted the outstanding girl performer as she won three events. She is only a junior at Byrd. Two other Jacket sophomores garnered first places in boy ' s competition as Bob McFarland set a record of 1:19.5 in the 100 meter breast stroke, and Clint AAiller finished first in the 10 meter freestyle and went on to win the S.A.A.U. Senior men ' s 100 meter freestyle championship. Clint also collected second in the 50 meter free style while tying the old record, and anchored the winning 200 meter freestyle relay. Other boys contributing to the boy ' s score were Walt Fall, Tommy Perry, and Jack Selber. Judy Smith gained her three victories in the 200 meter freestyle, 100 meter freestyle, and 200 meter individual medley. Other girls participating were Etta Ray Brenner, Mary Pistorius, and Mary McWilliams.

Whether football or basketball, the 1961-62 Byrd Cheerleaders could always be seen jumping, cheering, and generally being very enthusiastic over the successful ventures of the team. Having trained at summer camp at Sam Houston State College, they displayed excellent precision and coordination in executing their performances. These spirit boosters added color to the games by making hoops, conducting pre-game pep ral- lies, and decorating the halls with spirited ban- ners. During assemblies they led the students in rousing cheers MELANIE McCAIN Drum Corps Honors Seniors The Drum Corps prepared to line up before enter ing the stadium for the Turkey Day game.

Attending every football and basketball game throughout the year, the Stingerettes not only cheer the team in its victories but also back it in its losses. The Pep Squad is made up of the Drum Corps and the marching squad, these groups together perform- ing at all the football games of the fall season. To do this requires many long hours of practice during the summer and the earlier part of the school year.

Ours is an R.O.T.C. to be proud of, a protection encircled with trust. In the hands of the banks of Shreveport lies the security of our community ' s incomes. In the hands of the R.O.T.C. lies the future pro- tection of the United States. Bordered with ornate, Louisiana grillwork, the First National Bank of 1912 guarded the savings upon which our city has grown. In the same manner the leaders of Byrd ' s R.O.T.C. hold the security of our school, our city and our nation. First row: Paul Drummond, First Lieutenant; Jerry Drummond, First Lieutenant.

Initiated in 1952, the Patton Platoon was named after General George S. Patton. This organization was designed to promote school spirit, to develop character, and to represent Byrd High School in various activities, such as performing at football games, participating in parades, and contending against other units in drill competition. Each year as a fund raising project, the Patton Platoon sells Com- munity Birthday Calendars ' ' and sponsors a basket- ball game between the drill team members and the R.O.T.C. instructors. To maintain the high standards by which this unit is known, many hours are con- tributed by the members in practice. The Patton Platoon sponsor is Master Sergeant Charbonneau. Patton Platoon I Many hours of practice after school are spent by the Patton Platoon in perfecting the difficult Queen Anne Salute. Discipline is a necessary quality of a Patton Platoon member.

The main purpose of this organization is to promote an active interest in the R.O.T.C. and relax the tension of busy days. One of the many N.C.O. activities is furnishing the Color Guard for the R.O.T.C. parades here at school. Begun in 1935, the 1962 club has around thirty members and is sponsored by Sgt. Ray Gilson. Proof of the merit of the N.C.O. is that the members of one year are the leaders of the Corps the next.

These are the hands that mold the minds; these are the hands that shape the lives of the citizens of Byrd. Theirs is a delicate job. The ingredients must be exact: a gallon of knowledge, a tablespoon of discipline mixed with an equal amount of love, and finally a drop of humor. For three years our lives are their lives, our joys their joys, our disappointments their dis- appointments. As they watch us grow, their hand is always present to steady us over the jolts and sur- FACULTY prises on the precarious road to ma- turity. These hands are always ex- tended to us, rarely seen and rarely appreciated, but they are there. And when the city of Byrd is filled with new lives, full of new anticipations, new problems and new fears, they will once again mold a young heart and a young mind with their tender wisdom. Within the gray walls of the Shreveport High School the class of 1912 was preparing for their gradu- ation fifty years ago at this time. With the rapid growth of Shreveport, our first public high school soon was un- able to accommodate the enlarging enrollments; thus the city of Byrd began. Just as the teachers of 1912 devoted their time and knowledge to the education of youth, our teach- ers uphold the same excellent aca- demic standards.

The purpose of the ac- celerated program is to carry the stu- dent faster and provide him with time to study beginning college courses, thus more fully preparing the stu- dent for graduation. Accelerated Classes Stimulate Student Initiative Completing his required math project, J. Bailey Adger teaches his acceler- ated senior math class on the parabola of Analytic Geometry.

The Foreign Language Department is composed of three different subjects, French, Latin, and Spanish. There are three years offered in French, four in Latin, and four in Spanish. The classes are made up of students taking the course not only for the grammar but also for the purpose of learning to converse intelligently with the people of the world. Whether one uses his knowledge at the Summit Confer- ence in Geneva or to order a hamburger in Lyons or a hot dog in Madrid, he has a sureness of manner based on ex- cellent instruction in the cosmopolitan City of Byrd.

The department is divided into five sections, Homemak- ing I being the only prerequisite for the more advanced II and III. Homemaking. IV is for only those students who have had three previous years of the subject, for it includes ccurses definitely on a higher plane. The last section, Home and Family Living, is to help train for better home membership in the student ' s present and future family. Each of these sec- tions promotes a girl ' s self-confidence, for she knows she will be able to run a home with efficiency. Home Economics Prepares Girls for the Future Above: Cooking is one of the phases of homemaking through which girls acquire oractical experience. Students of home economics gather around to watch Miss Purvis demonstrate the preparation for a dish before the class begins their own cooking. Sharon Kreeger, Gail Pittman, Mary DeFatta, and Pam MacFarland, ad- vanced students in homemaking who are going to major in Home Economics in college, grasp the opportunity to take the Betty Crocker exams given each year at Byrd.

One of the most widely influential departments at Byrd, the Science division, includes the study of General Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. General Sci- ence is an introduction to the higher courses, as Biology is a course to acquaint the student with laboratory techniques and procedures. Chemistry entails many laws and principles which are applied in quantitive math problems, Chemistry, therefore, requiring Algebra I as a prerequisite. Physics is the most difficult of the sci- ence subjects, involving the mechanics of the solution of problems and laboratory work. Each of these courses endows the student with a knowledge of scientific principles which will help him throughout life. Through the accomplishments of the men and women who have received as teenagers in our forty-nine science classes a foundation for the future endeavors, Byrd takes its place in the space age.

Those who have en- rolled receive training in such courses as auto repair, barbering, machinery, welding, and radio and T.V. repair. The first part of the day is spent working at the Trade School, and then at 11:00 class is dismissed in order that students may return to Byrd to attend those classes neces- sary for graduation. At the end of a four year period, these students are graduated from both Byrd and the Trade School and are prepared to pursue their chosen professions.

But it is true; we must now bid a fond yet reluctant farewell to the walls that have contained our happiness and sheltered us from disappoint- ment. Although we leave our city to the future seniors of tomorrow, we are as much a part of it as it is a part of us. The halls will resound with other footsteps, the teachers will look down upon other faces, but the spirit of each of us will wander through the rcoms and nestle in some corner, see- ing new seniors but remembering. In the future years many opportunities will call us, many achievements will be ours, many heartaches will come our way just as it w as at Byrd. Our lives will be changed, our thoughts will be centered on other events in life, but the youthful exuberance of our high school days will remain as joy in our hearts. Our places will never be filled. Each person will live on in the city of Byrd, although the memories of the class of ' 62 have dimmed. The serenity and peace of our na- tion ' s churches are present also in the quiet beauty of the Baccalaureate Services. As the seniors leave the city of Byrd, their homes, their oc- cupations and their interests will soon be widely separated, but they will find a common unity through their religious beliefs. Shreveport is a city of churches, and this ivy-covered, stately building is the oldest one still standing. The leaders of the senior dass. realize now more than ever the strength that their religions possess.

Zimmerman Wrighl Zube 263 Mr. and Miss Gusher ,7eff Oykes As in each preceding year, the GUSHER staff has selected two of the most outstanding citizens in Byrd High to represent the present yearbook as Mr. and Miss GUSHER. Jeff Dykes and Maridine Wall were chosen for their service, contribution, dedication, and dependability to the city of Byrd during the last three years. Jeff has been an asset to the Student Council, serving as Sergeant-at-Arms his junior year and Assembly Chairman as a senior. His greatest honor was being selected an American Field Service exchange student to Brazil the summer following his junior year. This well rounded boy participated in football, track, and debate as well as serving as president of the Gayarre History Club during his senior year. He is a member of the National Honor Society and the National Forensic League, was nominated for a class office twice, and was elected to the Junior Prom Court. These many accomplishments helped Jeff receive the Optimist Award for the Outstanding Senior Boy. JKaricfine ( )a Maridine has always been a vital part of Byrd ' s extra-curri- cular activities. Having served on the Student Council for three years, she was el ected Vice-President her senior year. Much time has been given to the Upper Latin Forum as she has held the office of Treasurer as a junior and Parliamentarian dur- ing her senior year. Maridine is a member of the Drum Corps of the Pep Squad, the National Forensic League, and the National Honor Society. During the summer following her junior year, she journeyed to the National Association of Student Councils convention and attended Pelican Girls ' State where this popular girl won the “Outstanding Citizen award. As a student, Mari- dine has maintained a straight A average while in high school. Being selected for the Optimist Award as the Out- standing Senior Girl is probably her greatest honor. The GUSHER staff, with pride and admiration, introduces the 1962 Senior Favorites with these two exceptional students. t j ■ 264 Present the 1962 Senior Favorites In our unique City of Byrd approxi• to attend and contribute their skill in mutely 2,000 citizens busily carry ont problem solving. their rarious and sundry duties and re- Another honorary nunor office is that sponsibilities.

You hold the power to make or destroy the fullest years of your life; you hold the power to make or de- stroy the greatness of Byrd. It is be- cause the underclassmen love Byrd so well that the outgoing seniors know that through your efforts our school will continue to grow. Now you seem to be so far away from your goals, but they will be attained much too quickly. You will wonder if you will ever wear a senior ring, but be- fore long there it is, bright and shiny, on your finger! You wonder if you UNDERCLASSMEN . and your classmates will ever lead the school. But soon you and your friends are finishing a year ' s work and preparing it for next year ' s sen- ior class. You wonder what it will be like in a long, white robe receiving an important white paper. But Graduation Night is soon glistening with tears and smiles. Yours is a world of expectation . . . live it well! Symbolizing the early years of the twentieth century, the old Manse, built with hand-picked materials, even now stands stately on Austin Place. In 1912 it was a young build- ing just beginning its long life. The Underclassmen of Byrd are beginning their road in life, also; they are be- ginning their life in Byrd. As the sen- iors leave, they reminisce of their first years of Byrd and think about the students that are to follow them.

Discussing the bibliography with Mrs. McGraw ' s cless is Miss Cooper, a practice teacher. The National Merit Scholarship Test is taken by all interested juniors. Sharon Smith, Ken Hetherwick and Becky Brickell watch as Susan Robertson, Jack Selber, Mike Gosslee, Ed Tillman, Suzanne Hughes, Jim Parker, and Susan Storey begin. Being nominated for a class office is indeed an honor in itself.

Bill Wilson was also nominated. 277 Sondro Adoir Pe� e Adom obm Sue Adell Thomoi Allon Steve Am bough Gorold Ander Election of JUNIOR Doug Clinkenbeard, center, one of Byrd ' s telephone students, eagerly watches the Turkey Day game from a ringside seat.

The General Electric assem- bly, Career Day, and meetings for which numerous civic leaders take time out of their busy schedules to speak to our clubs, all offer the stu- dent knowledge and hope for his future. The men and women of to- morrow ' s Shreveport begin the plans of their lives at Byrd. The ad sales- men from various organizations find eager responses from businessmen to their many and varied visits. It is through advertisements that the prod- ucts of countries are shared.- It is through advertisement that progress is made in this rapidly advancing age. Thus advertisement is the vcice of the research, the time, and the effort of America. In 1910 Shreveport was fastly growing into the cosmopolitan city it is today. The bustle of business hurried by on Texas street and the brightly painted signs were indic- ative of a future of billboards and neon lights. Pictured amid the busy downtown section are senior repre- sentatives of Byrd ' s ad staff. First row: Joel Talley of the Band. Second row: Gaylon Wamble, Track Team; Linda Creel, Business Staff of the GUSHER; Richard Campbell, Treas- urer of the Red Cross; Carol Stone, Business Manager of the High Life ; Mary Lindsey, Business Staff of the GUSHER; Mal Morgan, National Forensic League. 325 SUE PEYTON ' S A. 3315 Line Avenue HERREL MINTER, Builder 41 I Dixie Garden Drive LOUISIANA IRON AND SUPPLY CO.

This year has been one of excitement and many accomplishments. In the four games played in football, Shreveport High School was not scored against, making the third successful year this has happened and the fourth year she has not lost a game. Also, the basketball season was very successful. The candidates practiced hard and kept in fine form the earlier part of the season, but in the last two games they were noticeably off color. Our only regret is that the members of the team were mostly track men, and for this reason Shreveport High School couid not send its team to Baton Rouge to try for the State Championship. This year ' s track team has been one of the best that has been turned out, and several new men prophesy a good team next year. Professor Briggs and the boys worked hard, and in the North Louisiana High School meet, Shreveport came a very close second, only two points behind the first team. A most beneficial feature of our school year was the organization of the Young Woman ' s College Club. Thi$ body seeks to influence the young women of today for their upliftment by persuading them to attend a college. Also this year our male quartet gave an open-air program at Belcher. Their banquets and praises on that occasion were certainly gratifying. We were very proud to issue our first annual this year. Its eighty-five pages include pictures of our school, students and teams, and we have fourteen pages of advertisements. Climaxing the year, the Senior class was most delightedly entertained Satur- day evening, May 6, at the home of Miss Moncure. The parlor and hall were appropriStely decorated with senior class pennants in purple and gold and Progressive Rook was the feature of the evening ; Class Colors—Red and White Class Flower— Red Rose In just a few more months 550 seniors will be leaving the halls of Byrd to the strains of Pomp and Circum- stance. For all of us, this year has been one of thrills and many successes. In the eleven games played in football this year Byrd was not scored against in five and altogether had a very successful season. Also, our basketball team did very well; the squad practiced long and hard, ending with an overall record of 32-10, which led the city and with an 11-2 district mark. Equally as outstanding was the track team which placed four men on the All-State team. Of the many enthusiastic members of the team, the Jackets have eleven returning lettermen. Ccach Woodrow Turner and the cindermen worked hard, and in the Kim- ball Relays we came in a strong ninth. Adding to the culture of all the Byrd students was the organization of the Brush and Palette Club. This body seeks to uplift the young people of Byrd by familiarizing its members with art. Also, our Acappella Choir has been very active. Aside from special performances for the school assemblies, the choir has also been in demand to sing at luncheons and meetings of several civic groups. Among these are the Caddo Heights Baptist Church and the Associational Ministerial Convention. This year we continued to have a yearbook of outstanding quality; its 367 pages include pictures of every Byrd activity and 37 pages of advertisements. Climaxing our year, the Senior Class spent a delightful day at one of our most beauteous spots at the Senior picnic. Each senior brought a lunch and an afternoon of games and rollicking fun climaxed our last year. TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY ' The World ' s Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made I
