We Search for THE THINGS THAT COUNT To build a lije of hope and plans, To give and work and play, To add a bit of gladness To the passing of the day,... These are the things that seem to count, That reach within your heart And add a world to living Of which wealth has little part. Tobe a part of all that’s good, Not just a search for fame : A place that means that others Truly speak well of your name Tobe a symbol of success,... These are things in life that count, These are the things that tell That when your life is all lived out That you have lived it well.

But to pass through life, or school, with no other goal than to take everything one can will bring no gladness. Success alone—in bu-iness, war, or school—will not bring happiness. but the way a person achieves this success is what really counts. Spirit is very important in school, just as it is in life. It makes life more exciting and keeps people from giving up. But false spirit is worse than none at all. It is very easy to have spirit when everything is going right, but the true spirit is shown as things go wrong. If the Jackets go through life with the kind of spirit displayed this year, they will come out ahead in the “game of life.” Honors are important to students and adults; they let a person be recognized for the work that he has done. But spurious honors do harm to the person winning them. If a person receives an honor that he does not deserve, he will feel ashamed and inadequate. For an honor to be worth something, it must be earned. Sports help students and adults alike in many ways. They not only provide en- tertainment and enjoyment, but they also teach a person that he must work with others for victory and that he must never give up. Sports are like life, because “you get out of it what you put in it.” These are some of “the things that count” for a teenager or an adult. The spirit that surged through Byrd in its forty-second year made each individual aware of these “things”—honors and achievement in aca- demics, activities, and sports—that “count in high school and “count” in the years that follow. The Gusher presents the Jack- ets’ “search for fame” through ACTIVI- TIES, COMPETITION, PERSONALITIES, and ADVERTISING.

BYRD IS A MAN As a precious stone has many facets, so has Byrd many fields of endeavor and accomplishment. It is a place where some of Shreveport’s youth gather in the common cause of realizin and developing their potentialities as the bu iness. po litical, and spiritual leaders of to- morrow. There are fine. concerned teachers capable of equipping them with the necessary knowledge and inspiration to continue their stud- ies and assume these responsi- bilities. The Student Council and a wide assortment of service and special interest clubs provide a sounding board for student voices as well as a proving ground for leader- ship and organizing abilities. Inter- scholastic and intramural sports abound for the development of a healthy, competitive attitude and to promote physical well being. And perhaps most important of all, there is the spirit that pervades these halls—a spirit of loyalty, faith, and fellowship that unites the whole, endowing students, fac- ulty, and sUff with a sense of pride and accomplishment for the tasks ahead. And like a precious gem, Bvrd possesses certain qualities that are passed on, tp some degree, to the students by a kind of educational osmosis—the qualities of endur- ance, brilliance, depth, clarity, and a lasting record on this earth. 4
