Drawing the Blueprints “There is always something going on at Byrd,” the familiar saying goes, and nothing could be closer to the truth. Our school’s end- less activities have formed an integral part in designing the master plan for 1965-66. Highlighting this year have been many phases of Byrd Life ... the Stingerette’s Tour of Paris ... the thrill of Homecoming ... “The Imag- inary Invalid” presented by the Drama Club ... the day Byrd was transformed into a cow- boy town, Go West Day ... Byrd’s own literary magazine, the “Stentor” ... Christmas projects sponsored by the various clubs ... the Christ- mas assembly ... the Miami Debate Tourna- ment . .. Byrd’s Invitational Basketball Tourna- ment ... the Arch of Steel at the Military Ball ... the Junior Prom ... the Student Council’s Talent Show ... Spring elections . .. final ban- quets ... graduation ... and much too soon all the activities cease. For the Underclassmen, another year at Byrd awaits, but for the Seniors who are leaving this school’s portals for the last time, these endless activities have become mem- ories which will never be forgotten. Susan Stolces speaks at a Student Council ac- tivity, Leadership Day. 8

Panel members Jackie Fisher and Gene Clarke present the ordinary details of the days of a typical farmer of the late 19th century, and this portion of the past becomes “real” in a modem classroom. 10
