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.
