To Gain Recognition, Joe Cordill and Buddy Coats receive basketball trophies from Mr. Duncan during half-time o f the Byrd In- vitational. The two returning Lettermen were chosen for the AH-tournament team. To gain recognition is a worthy goal for anyone to pursue. This is not to say that recognition was the motivating force in good deeds. It is, instead, the deeds one does and the person one becomes that determines the amount of recogni- tion bestowed. Recognition came this year to the physically strong, the academically excellent, and the actively unselfish. Whether the recognized were in the form of National Merit Scholar, the state record holder, or the outstanding service individual all were worthy of the praise received. Similarly, those who gained dignity and selfrespect were Dixic Lovc, Surnen Ogilvie, Jim Barton, Janet Hetherwick, and Frank Kappen receive stage lights from Mr. James H. Miller.

Still others had a hunger for something besides ad- venture, and it was labeled curiosity. Satisfaction for this yearning came through chemistry experimentation, physics project3, math proofs, and psychology discus- sions. Whether the individual of Byrd sought to find adven- ture or satisfy curiosity, success was made available through the activities of Byrd.
