Editor Barron O’Neal Associale Editor Barbara Williams Business Manager Glenn Fallin Adverlising Manager Dick Levy 1970: Year for Discovery As an entire nation watched in hu«hed, tense silence, Co onel Neil Armstrong slowly clamhered down the ladder of the lunar module and placed one foot, then the other, on the chalky surface of the moon, becoming the first man ever to stand upon that vir- gin sphere. On Earth in Johannesburg, South Africa, an expert team of white-clad surgeons stood hunched over the slow- Iv-breathing form of a critically ill pa- tient who lay quietly under the glaring lights of the operating room, attempt- ing to save yet another life by success- fully performing the delicate technicali- ties of a heart transplant. In these and many other ways, the year 1970 has been characterized by the discovery and exploration of new areas of knowledge in the world around us. Many other smaller, though equally important, discoveries have been made at C. E. Bvrd High School in 1970—discoveries made not neces- sarily to shape the course of history, but discoveries made to shape the course of individual lives—discoveries made each day in the classroom, on the athletic field, in the halls—discoveries made in the mind, in the spirit, and in the heart of each and every individual. The FACULTY, in the classroom and by example, has led each Jacket to discoveries about this, past, and future worlds. Measuring himself against others in SPORTS, HONORS, and MILITARY has taught each stu- dent at Byrd much about himself, about how to win and how to lose. And through involvement with fellow students in CLASSES, ACTIVITIES, and MUSIC, Jackets have discovered more about their abilities and values in life, about working and living with others. The world of business, through ADS, has helped each student discover ways of cop!ng with the de- mands of life. And so, after a year of searching and probing to find who we are, why we are, where we are, and where we are going, after discovering the in- fluence of the past through the force of Byrd ' s beautiful traditions, after discovering the joy of triumph, the sting of defeat, the beauty and pain involved in learning and growing, each Jacket has made discoveries about him- self and his world which will always be a part of his life—never to be for- gotten or erased. Truly 1970 has been “A Year for Discovery.” 2 Man is no longer limited by the planet on whirh he dwella. His spirit, ever searrhing and disrovering, now has an unlimited hori zon to explore. The world and our complex society hold many secrets which we as youth have yet to discover. But the hope of tomorrow awaits us always. WHO ARE THE JACKETS? Who are the Jackets? They are very special people who go to Byrd High School. That extra something that makes them all so special is their deep Jacket pride which develops more and more during their years at Byrd. Jacket pride is not something that is born or is killed. It somehow exists, lying deep in the heart of each student at Byrd, it is the force that drives Jackets onto repeated victories in the fields of athlet’cs, dehate, and scholastics. Yet, it is also Jacket pride that gives each one the ability to “keep on keeping on in a fine manner ' ’ even after defeat. Displays of this Jacket Pride inspired sportscasters, and sometimes the coaches of opposing teams, to praise the students at Byrd for their overwhelming spirit even after defeat. Yet, with Jacket Pride comes the responsibility for carrying on the many traditions enjoyed by students at Byrd. It takes a great deal of devotion on the part of the Band, R.O.T.C., and Pep Squad to practice many long hours during the sum- mer months. and it is this deep devotion that supports Jacket pride. No other school in the world has that dynamic something known as Jacket Pride; anyone who has not experienced it can never comprehend the how or why of it. No one who has felt its magic can ever forget it A souree of pride and enjoyment for every Jacket, the Byrd Band proudly marrhed to its positirn for a halftime performanee of skill and precision. 4 Memhers of the football team made a dramatic entrance on the field by running thrnugh the Pep Squad s “J” formation and breaking a huge hoop. I With Jack the Jacket leading the way, mem- bers of the Senior c!a?« marched from the Youth Center to a Pep Rally rn the parking lot to boost spirit for their meeting with the Fair Park Indians that night. WE ARE THE JACKETS! Attired in western clothing, membera of the Pep Squad eagerly answered “We are the Jackets ' to Mr Duncan � cry. The faces of those girls captured the enthusiasm and excitement that pervaded the atmosphere of Byrd on Go West Day. 5 WHO ARE THE JACKETS? Every Jacket is a distinct individual. In the past few years styles have chanped radically, and, as always. the Jackets have kept up with the times. Knee boots, short skirts, bell bottoms. and chunky shoes were commonly seen in the classroom at Byrd. Boys grew sideburns and longer hair. Many different styles of glasses were worn by both boys and girls. Girls began wearing wigs. hairpieces, and falls to class. Some chose Afro cuts, while others liked the long straight look. Each suited his own need, or taste. So to outward appearance we were unique—each “doing his own thing,” hut we were all Jackets sharing a common pride in Byrd—in her fulure —while each of us was striving to reach his own even- tual goal. Gale Guess, Randy Scoggin, Cilbert Hetherwick, Diane Parks, and Petesie Hadra gathered outside the school store. which i« a favorite congregating place for all students. There Jackets can purchase supplies and exchange the latest gossip. Each Jacket has a way of coming to Byrd. Some walk, some drive, while others arrive everyday on the school bus. Each day at 3:00, students hurry to load the buses in front of the gym. Each student has his own special look. Jan Middleton, Donald Turner, and Mary Long showed several of the different styles commonly seen at school. 6 Ruety Simmon ' . Katic Criwford, Harrictt Jcnn°tte, D a v i d Rcaird, and Janic Hrpkins found many intcresting books to read and share with each other in Byrd’s well-stoc’ked library. Students were entertained Co West Dav in the cafeteria by chorus f irls Harriet Jeannette, Janet Marvin, Carolyn FoMer, Mary Ann indol. Pat Massey. Linda Collins, Rebel Brown. and Salley Gee. Saloon showmen, Candy Covington and Jon Cordell, provided spec ial western music. Mernbor of th • 1970 Hom� ominc «mii t. RfM Dwii, Julia Mine Anne Thome Thompson, Sally Cee. Ann Younkcr, and Anne P ' applauded their smiling queen, Ivy Hedgecock. They were fi presented to the student body in the Homecoming assembly. EXCELUNG IN THE CLASSROOM Members of Mrs. Johnnie Jordan’s art classes gathered around Nancy Creamer foi instrucfions on making pilgrim ' s hats which th� y filled with candy and presented at Thanksgiving to the patients in the V. A. Hospital. 8 Trying not to make any errors, memhers of Miss Ear- line Jordan ' s Typing I class prepared exercises which serve to increase their speed and efficiency. Carefully these Jackets listen to each detail of Mrs. Jo Amy Wynn’s instructicns on constructing purellelo- grams in geometry. Under«tanding each step is es- sential for every person in this class. There is a definite area in which each student at Byrd can excel, and for some this is the classroom. The rnajority are preparing for college; yet some are gaining the knowledge necessary for immediate employ- ment. Byrd traditionally has many National Merit semi- finalists, and its graduates rank high in their classes in colleges across the nation. showing that Jackets receive excellent preparation for whatever they hope to do after graduation. Not only is the classroom a place for working, but it is a place for meeting people and showing ideas. Many lasting friendships are made in the classrooms. Students are very free to express themselves through such me- diums as art, music, and writing. Everyone can find at least one way to show r what fills u his bag.” The influence of a teacher, a special assignment, or a book can help a student decide what he wants to do for the rest of his life. The classrooms are the arteries of the huge body at Byrd. Through them 1850 students circulated in search of knowledge, truth, and a better tomorrow for himself and for his world. Adrienne Poss displayed the Medieval Castle which she made with sugar cubes as a speeial project to enric h the discussion on that period of history in Miss Margee Sanders Knglish IV class. THAT’S JACKET PRIDE! Study halls gave students a chance to get some of their work done at school. Members of Mrs. Sailie Moody’s fifth period tried hard to complete an assignment or two at school. Pat Fulton and Mike Goodroe modeled beauti- ful Roman costumes which were made especially to enter in state-wide competition at the Latin convention. Mrs. Grace Small’s class enjoyed seeing them and hearing their background. 9 COMPETITION . . . Eagerly reaching for a piece, Perry Peyton, Gene Hatcher, Don Birkelbach and Pete Hall were all smiles. as Cecilia Hobert- � on and Whittney Quinn cut the cake which the Pep Squad presented to the basketball team at the opening of their season. Byrd’s most dedicated supporters, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Duncan, are two of the familiar sights at any event in which the Yellow Jackets are involved. Even during serious illness, Mr. Duncan let the students know he was with them in spirit. 10 In any form of competition, Jackets have been known to put up a hard fight. Byrd was well re- presented in the “Walk for Funds sponsored by the United Fund Agency. Stuart May, Bill Bone, and Doug Green were spurred on by Jacket Pride to be the first three people to come in after the twenty five mile trek. After winning the toss before the Jesuit game, Byrd elected to receive. Foothail captains for the Yellow Jackets that night were Mike Swinney and Robert Little. Joe Dover, Randy Robertson, John Farley, and Doug Rymer eagerly read the special green edition of the High Life at Christmas. The High Life represented Byrd well in competition with other high school newspapers. A WAY TO SHOW JACKET PRIDE In every phase of life at Byrd there exists competition. Students compete for prades and rank in classes. Our school puhlications. the GUSHER, “High Life,” and STENTOR, are sent to rating services, and there compete with other similar publications for top positions. Jackets compete with each other for honor and for school offices—cheerleader, band, choir, Pep Squad, and Student Council offices. Yet competition is at its fine t. and Jacket pride is best shown in athletic contests between schools. There was a day when the mere mention of the Byrd Yellow Jackets struck terror in the hearts of rivals, and we are still known to put up a hard fight and to have a fantastic spirit. Many hours are spent practicmg by the members of the various teams, such as football, baseball, basketball, and track. Every Jacket works hard for his position on a team. Signs of support are given to these teams by banners. post- cards, breakfasts, and posters. Only a few can reach the heighth of outstanding greatness in their chosen fields. To these few goes the recognition deserved by all that labored so long and hard to achieve their goals. It is to that unpublicized majority that this is addressed. For without you—the players who were recognized, the coaches, the trainers, and the managers, unheralded—the first game could not have been played. The entire student body and faculty is involved in every Jacket effort. and that is truly “Jacket Pride.” A proud moment for any team member rome« when he first reeeives his letterman’s jacket. David Adams, Billy Fraser. and Leon Thompson were among the first to get theirs. These athletic letters are definitely the niost hard earned honors for physiral and rnental abilities. Juhilantly. memhers of the Pep Squad srng out “We are the Jackets’’ for the last time in 1969 foothall seasrn. “With spirit high and hopes undaunted,” these girls, with the student hody, supported the team in defeat as well as victory. II WHAT’S JACKET PRIDE? Becky Noone, Beth Richard«on, and Barhara Clark displayed some of the beautiful Christmas decorations which members of the F.H.A. made. Almost every Jacket belonged to at least one or more organizations. These groups were truly an education in themselves, for working in extracurricular activities teaches students how to work better with others and it also gave students another way to express Jacket pride. The organ izations were as varied as were the students themselves. Clubs gave Jackets another way to do their own things. Those with military inclinations joined the R.O.T.C. whose Silver Sabers and Patton Platoon won many honors, in- cluding the city championship. One of the most hardworking organizations at Byrd was the Band. Its performances of precision marching showed great Jacket Pride and many hours of practice. “Z” Club, Key Club, Interact, and Leo Club had membership based on character, personality, scholarship, and leadership. These service organizations made many outstanding contributions to their school and community, through such projects as collecting for the Poppy sale, the March of Dimes, and the Muscular Dys- trophy Drive. The Latin Club, French Club, and the Spanish Club better acquainted language students with customs and the history of foreign cultures. These and many other groups, perform such varied services as decorating the halls of Byrd and supporting overseas orphans. Such activi- ties and organizations added greater meaning to student life; they made Jacket Pride more challenging for almost everyone. After p resenting the Homecoming assembly, member? of the National Honor Society joined the rest of the students in singing “We are the Jackets. Calhoun Allen and Barron O’Neal presented to Mrs. Lucille Tindcl one of the ten flags the Key Club gave for display around the school. These flags served to remind students that just as they are Jackets, they are also Americans. 12 To each homertK m with 100 Red Cross memln-rship went a coke party. The Red Cross execu- tive committee distributed cokes for the party to the representatives in the teacher’s parking lot. A tense moment was reflected at the victorious Robeline game in the faces of Byrd’s most enthusiastic, regular supporters, the members of the Pep Squad. An innovation for the increased enjoyment of the spectators was the Pep Squad’s perfonnance of hand routines with popular songs. IT’S BELONGING The many phases of life at Byrd are colorfully depicted in the beautiful mural which the Brush and Palette Club designed and executed in the lower part of the school. It illustrates the many ways in which students at Byrd develop and show Jacket Pride. Jimmy Trichel, Rebel Brown, and Tommy Hamm priced the Christ mas trees which members of the Interact Club cut and sold. This project netted $72.00 for the club’s Foster Parent project, supporting an orphan in south east Asia. Under the July sun and in the August heat, the Pep Squad marched and driiled hours and hours. In the summer practices performances must be learned perfectly, banners must be painted, postcards must be sent, and posters must be drawn, all before school starts. WHAT’S JACKET PRIDE? During almost every period of the day one of the major organizations at Byrd is Mike C!ark and Herbi Kuhenstein held the hoop busy at work. First period found the band practicing marching between gym classes. for the players to run through at the Captain Shreve game. The words on it let everybody know just exactly what gave the Jackets so much spirit and drive, and this is traditional before each Byrd game. One of the mo«t enjoyable traditions at Byrd is the door decorations contest put on by the Student Council. Each homeroom wishing to enter decorated its door, and the winners were selected on the basis of originality and ap- pearance. Skipper Peel minded the school store one day during the holiday contest. Pensively, the basketball players, each prepared to be sertt in the game at a moment’s notice, watched teammates play a tense game. Practice made the Jacket roundballers ready for a good season. Miss Jerry Malone demonstrated how to use a slide rule to James Wilcox, a student in one of her Algebra II classes. 14 When does a student at Byrd realize he has Jacket Pride? Perhaps he knows when he thrills to hear the Pep Squad thunder into the auditorium on the first day of school. He might have realized it the first time he sang “We Are Jackets” or answered lr. Duncan’s question of “WTio are the Jackets?” Regardless of when or how someone came to know and understand Jacket Pride, the important thing is that he knows he has it. Jacket Pride will make his heart swell with happiness in victory, but it will give him the ability to hold his head high in defeat. Each year some new students enter Byrd and are caught up in a whirl of spirit and excitement, but each year the seniors who have diligently led the school must leave. Yet the beat goes on in the heart of Byrd, and this is true because Jacket Pride will never leave. Every year a different group answers the immortal “Who are the Jackets?,” but what is in the hearts and minds of these students is always the same. Jacket Pride will drive them to reach for the top; it will comfort them in defeat, but most of ail, it will bring happiness and joy to all those caught by its spell. Jacket Pride will live forever in the hearts of those who have experienced it. It will immortalize all that is youthful, happy, and exciting. all those things that are Byrd. Forever smiling in victory or defeat, Jack the Jacket proudly rules over all athletic contests at Byrd. His appearance at any game brings exuberant cheers and standing ovations. This happy mascot symbolizes the spirit and pride every Jacket treasures for Byrd. IT’S FOREVER . . . Memhers of the frcshman and soph- omore football team practiced hard during the summer and after school in the fall. They showed great promise for the next season and gave every Jacket the hope of better times to On the day the cheerleaders decorated the cars on Byrd’s parking lot with purple and gold streamers in honor of a Captain Shreve football game that night, a most colorful sight greeted the students at 3:00. 15 “Byrd, We Stand to Honor Thee” T 7 ,:, is 7iyrd 7liy i fVc 7t x t)ou ttil ' ioon 6e as muc i a f art o it as it n i 6e a f art o you. 7 io t .s your uturc anr you io t its utur . c onron is un imttet L)ou can ncocr caoc yrd )liy i tSc too or its trainmy. its nemoriex and its r f uiatton rtuZ yo a it you oreoer.

Duncan, after a eareer in education, has served as principal of Byrd High School for fifteen years. During this period he has devoted his time and effort unselfishly in our be- half; he has inspired us to try for the highest goals possible in every field. He has become the embodiment of Jacket Pride, inspiring and keeping alive that spark of spirit which has become so much a part of us and our school. The ideals of J. H. Duncan will forever reside in Byrd and in the hearts of its countless individuals. The educational standards he has set and the principles he has laid down will be a vital influence in our lives, for his sincere dedication and loyalty, his deep concern will be remembered even when Byrd is only a memory to us. Although he will no longer be physically present to guide us, we, and those to come after us, will “keep on keeping on” as he has taught us by his every thought and action through his long years of devoted service. Mr. Duncan, at far right, salutes the colors during a federal R.O.T.C. inspection. He has lent his wholehearted support to every facet of student activities throughout the years. J. H. DUNCAN B.A.—Trinity University M.A.—University of Texas One of his more pleasant duties was the presentation of the many awards and certificates eamed each year in all areas. Mr. J. H. Duncan rongratulated a new member of the National Honor Society in their annual induction asseinbly. Crowning queens is always a happy occasion, and our principal has done the honors 28 times during his years at Byrd. 18 Years of Devoted Service Ardent fans throughout the years, the Duncans have attended countless sports events, inspiring participants and spectators alike with their loyal spirit. Our principal proudly returned to school after accepting the “Best Ad of 1960” Award for Byrd. This is presented annually by the Advertising Club to the person or institution who has done the most to draw favorable attention to the City of Shreveport. Climaxing each year is the thrill of the graduation exercises, both an ending and a beginning. After recognizing special awards, Mr. J. H. Duncan bid farewell to yet an- other senior class. The Duncans have faithfully attended almost all of the approximately 150 banquets held during the last fifteen years—ranging from spaghetti suppers to football banquets. In additioa to the many other duties of the principal of Byrd was helping to keep the school rtvnning smoothly by presiding over faculty meetings, held twice monthly. 19 Aviation, with its phenomenal growth in past years, represents the recent explosion of knowledge and the subsequently increasing rangr of man ' s concerns. Reflecting the current scope of student interests are Byrd ' s many activities, which help guide the growth and devel- opment of Jackets outside the classroom. Pictured on a visit to one of Shreveport ' s airports are: Ginger Fortson, Drama Club Secretary; Rebel Brown, Student Council Executive Coramittee; David Adams, Fellowship of Christian Athletes President; Janet Marvin, State Junior Classicai League Secretary; Candy Pardue, Red Cross President; Julia Minor, Pep Squad Treasurer; and Stephen King, Go West Day Co-Chairman. Growing up and developin into a mature person is a slow, exciting, sometimes painjul process which by no means ends in the classroom. To help sludents express themselves and constructively direct their interests during after-school hours, there exists at Hyrd an almost unlimited range of extra-curricular activities. And Jackets, entering these activities with their characteristic spirit and enthusiosm, encounter a wealth of discoveries, invaluable lessons in working uith others. They are able to explore and experiment and receive traininf ' in many different areas, trainin uhich prepares them for life in later years when the time comes to take an active role in leading the community. And, above, all. students learn the thrill of pride and satisfaction that comes with doing one ' s besl, with working and learning and sharing, with making themselves and their world just a little bit better. 21 ASSEMBLIES Amused, Inspired, After an absence of one month, Mr. J. H. Dunran made a surprise appearance at the Jesuit assembly. This expcrience proved to be emotional for the students, faculty, and Mr. Duncan him- self, as he was given a spontaneous standing ovation. Mary Ann Tindol, Janet Marvin, Julia Minor, Rebel Brown, and Anne Pou, terrified westerners, were held captive by Indians, Rob Fulton, Jimmy Trichel, and Bill Clark during the Fair Park Assembly. Barron O ' Neal told Ivy Hedgcock and David Beaiid about the literary publica- tions of Byrd in the Orientation Day As- sembly. During the Jesuit assembly, patrolman Mike Williams spotted a Jesuit Flyer far off in the sky. 22 and Informed the Students “Yahoo,” yodcled Charlic SchluU as he came riding down the aisle on his 4 t horse M to add to the festivities of the Go West as sembly. Ivy Hedgcock, Ann Thorne-Thomsen, Grey Townsend, and Sally Gee sacrified Arkansas Razorback Jimmy Trichel to “Big Daddy Duncan. Mr. Duncan congratulates Stan Bussey on his fine accomplishment of winning another honor for R.O.T.C. and Byrd. David Beaird played a typiral news commen tator in the Orientation Day Assembly. 23 BRUSH AND PALETTE Presented Officers for the 1969-1970 Brush and Palette Club were Front Row: Cathy Fryer, Publi- city; Ellen Evans, Treasurer; Ginger Fort- son, Publicity. Second Row: Nancy Creamer, President; Gilbert Hetherwick, Vice-Presi- dent; Susan Fleming, Secretary. Making key chain9 which were later sold by the Art Club were Marion Jones, Tom- mie Hay, and Pat McWilliams. The proceeds from the sale were used to help provide funds for the Brush and Palette Scholarship Award, an honor presented annually to an outstanding art student. To brighten the halls and boost spir- it on Go West Day, the Brush and Palette Club made many westem deco- rations for the traditional event. Ban- ners displaving cowboy figures with the features of each Senior football player and door stickers in the shape of western hats, broken feathers, gun holsters, and spurs were among the contributions of the club. Hours and hours of “artist-power” were also do- nated by members to help the Student Council prepare the numerous posters and banners that decked the halls. Thanksgiving, the art students made tray favors in the shape of pilgrim’s hats, and, stuffing them with candies, the club’s members took them to the Veteran’s Hospital. At Christmas, a party with cokes and cookies was en joyed by all. The Brush and Palette, sponsored by Mrs. Johnnie Jordan, painted and sold original key chains and minia- tures in the spring. Perhaps the club’s greatest contribution to the school was a large mosaic they designed and pre- sented to Mr. Duncan to brighten the teacher’s lounge.

Well-worn was the grass of the sum- mer practice field as marchers worked three and a half hours a day for six weeks in preparation for the coming school year. It was a steaming afternoon in July. A group of girls attired in everything from blue jean shorts to haircurlers and covered with dust from head to toe dragged themselves across the practice field and wondered how they would ever last through the coming six weeks of heat, dirt, and sun. Summer practice had begun, and the 138 girls forming the Byrd Stingerettes had launched a year filled w ith joy, agony, exploding energy, and total exhaustion. They faced ten and a half months of devoting hours and energy to an important force of their life, Byrd High School. From that balmy afternoon forward, sacrifice be- came a law to each girl. Banners waited to be painted and hung to adorn the halls; posters, also made by the Stinger- ettes, were on the list of things to do. Each week several members trans- formed themselves into salesmen of Contentment and pride swelled within each Stingerette’a heart as she left the field, knowing that all her efforts were worthwhile. spirit tags which boosted morale for football and basketball games. Thursday mornings found the roof of the audito- rium raised by shouts of joy and songs of spirit to spur each athletic team to its peak of performance. Spectators at games saw the Pep Squad tum an ordinary football field into a stage on which a show of precision marching was masterfully performed. Selling C. E. Byrd sweatshirts and T-shirts was a project used to raise money, in addition to the annual fund-raising Carnival and Peep Show. The Pep Squad also spon- sored the first Spring Sports Day honor- ing all participants in baseball. track, golf, and tennis. This extraordinary group of juniors and seniors did more than merely carry out these many responsibilities; every girl put her heart into it, and, thus her efforts brought great reward in a sensation of true ful- fillment.

Rules aud regulations are a must for the smooth running of any organi- zation, and Pep Squad is no exception. The 1970 Drum Corps, well aware of this fact, saw a need for change and acted. The group of girls-along with Mrs. Sallie Moody, Pep Squad sponsor- put their heads together and came up with an entirely revised constitution. Everything was covered from qualifica- tions to duties of officers, and the 1969-1970 school year proved the value of their efforts. From fall per- formances to Go West Day to the Football Breakfast to the annual Spring Pep Squad Banquet, coopera- tion and unity prevailed. Experience came to each member, and her love for Byrd became cemented into her heart and memory, never to be re- moved. Her two years of Pep Squad had brought her friendship, self- disipline, a sense of pride, and an un- mistakable air of self-confidence. Two years of giving, two years of happiness, two years of pain-and at the end of these two years of intense living girls with eyes wet and blurred by tears looked ahead ... ahead to a life in which their knowledge would aid them in every new situation.

Our cheerleaders repeatedly spurred on the different classes with “Battle Cry” and regenerated the teams with shouts of “Action To Win.” Their energy and enthusiasm never failed to arouse feel- ings of school spirit from all mem- bers of the student body. Traveling again to Sam Houston Cheerleading School in Huntsville, Texas, the 1969-70 Byrd cheerleaders dominated the weeks ' activities. In five nights of competition against schools from all parts of the Ark-La-Tex, they garnered five blue ribbons, entitling them to the overall first place award. They received the Spirit Stick for the fifteenth straight year, and, in addi- tion, were awarded the Spark Plug. The Spark PJug was given to the group which displayed the most spir- it throughout the entire week’s activi- ties. This enthusiasm was the “spark” of spirit which kept Byrd and its Jacket Pride rolling. Serving Byrd as its cheerleaders for 1969-70 were: Ann Thorne-Thomsen; Grey Townsend; Jimmy Trichel, Head Cheerleader; Ivy Hedgcock; Mike Williams; and Sally Gee. CREY TOWNSEND JIMMY TRICHEL MLKE WILLIAMS 29 COOPERATIVE OFFICE EDUCATION Prepared Living a double life were thirteen seniors, for they were students and wage-earners. Who were these thirteen? They had to be the busy members of the Cooperative Office Education which was organized for students who plan to enter a field of business and for businessmen who want to employ personnel on a part- time basis. By working after school in local businesses, department stores. insurance agencies, and libraries, COE students obtained experience needed later on in life. Students were required to be at least sixteen years of age and to have taken two business subjects. Selling candy and make-up kits, members of COE helped raise money for buying books and supplies. Guided by Mrs. Alice Stravolemos, they sent nourishing food and sparkling Christ- mas decorations to a local Children’s home. Toward the end of the school year, the members gave a dinner for their employers, as a token of appre- ciation. As a service to our community, Rosemary Timmons worked for the March of Dimes Fund. Front Row: Shirley Naranjo, Debbie Cryer. Second Row: Jimmy Patterson. Eddie Black.

Students for Business Competition 1970 officers for COE were: Julie Brown, Vice-President; Jan Prather, Secretary; Dorothy Henderson, Treasurer; and Vickie Gillum, President. Gaining on the job experience, Julie Brown was the part-time secretary for a local in- surance agency. Computers play an important role in the business world. Using a modern data pro- cessing machine, was Jan Prather. 31 D.E. Students Faced Challenge Distributive Education could be more aptly called education in the field, as it helps to create a solid founda- tion for those students wishing to in- volve themselves outside of the school in today’s busy business world. Through this state-wide organization, students not only leam and develop the basic principals of marketing, but also get first-hand experience in retail, wholesale, and service selling. Students in the Distributive Educa- tion program are excused from school after third or fourth period to go to their various jobs as sales people or clerks. The Distributive Education classes each count as a credit toward furthering Juniors and Seniors to grad- uation. By the time these students do graduate, they will have a good under- standing of the way business and edu- cation complement each other and will already have experience in applying their knowledge on the job in the mar- ket places of today.

DRAMA CLUB Presented an “Excellent material exceilently done” —this motto expresses the goal of every Drama Club member who contributes his time and talent to this growing organization. For the first time in the past few years, the Drama Club has offered its members the op. portunity to expand their knowledge and experience in drama by producing outstanding plays. Students have be- come familiar with techniques of act- ing as well as different aspects of crew work, such as costumes, set construc- tion, sound, lighting, and make-up. Members were allowed to try out for parts in two one-act plays which were presented to the school after months of preparation. “Aria da Capo” by Edna St. Vincent Millay and “A Mar- riage Proposal” by Anton Chekhov were performed in the Byrd auditorium on March 25, 26, and 27. In Novem- ber “Aria da Capo” was taken to ‘Little Nationals’ in Muskogee, Okla homa, where it won first place as the best play in the one-act play contest. Serving as officers for the Drama Club were: Seated: Martha Kurz, Vice President. Stand- ing: Ginger Fortson, Secretary; Gilbert Hetherwick, Treasurer; David Beaird, President. One vital part of putting on a play is learn ing to use character make-up. Mr. Raymond Rodgers demonstrated this art to Martha Kurz, a performer in one of the spring plays. 34 Evening of One-Act Plays In addition to this outstanding award, David Beaird was named Best Actor, Mike Stone—Best Supporting Actor, and Tim Wells—Best Character Actor. “Aria da Capo” was also pre- sented at Northeast in February for competition among other schools. Drama Club members have also competed in individual acting and duet acting events on various debate trips during the year. Janie Hopkins won first place in dramatic interpretation at Northwestern for scenes which she enacted from “David and Lisa.” David Beaird and Ann Younker received a second place award for duet acting at the Dallas-Jesuit Toumament, where they performed excerpts from Shakes peare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” David Beaird won second place in dramatic interpretation at the Bryan Adams Tournament, where he performed several cuttings from “Catcher in the Rye.” Byrd was fortunate to have such fine opportunities available to its Drama Club members. The quality of the plays, as well as the quality of the players, provided endless enjoyment and experiences for both audience and crew. Front Row: Karen Homza, Kathryn Parker, Susan Ebarb.

Byrd’s 1969 70 Fellowship of Chris tian Athletes made great improvements in both membership and status. In its fourth year of existence, the club took on fifty-two members, the most in its history. As for status, the club of- ficially became a nationally recognized huddle group for the first time. In the first program meeting, Mr. Charlie Crowder, activities director of the .M.C.A., spoke. As a former semi-professional fullback w ith the Shreveport Oilers, he spoke on Chris tian Witnessing in Athletics. Next, a former Byrd student, Mr. Dan Sandifer, addressed the group. Since he had been a member of the Washington Redskins, he advised the members on their future in sports and their attitudes as they participated in them in their years of college. He also answered many questions which the members had concerning the profes- F.C.A.

Later the huddle group got together and listened to a record by Bob Petit. In this recording he spoke on “truth,” using examples he had heard or read about. He also related one example of his own in which he felt he had made a grave mistake. The highlight of the year for the Jackets was a city-wide banquet held at Morrison’s Cafeteria. Of the sixty- five boys that attended, at least half were from Byrd. After the dinner, the sponsors showed a film on the Week- end of Champions held at Dallas. Such great athletes as Bart Starr, Bill Glass, Paul Anderson, Rex Kem, Tom Landry and Bobby Richardson ad- dressed the assembly. Through all these, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes attempted to strengthen ties between athletes and God. Steve Middleton, Mike Swinney, and Charles Thrash prepared the projector to show a film while David Morgan and Bill Clark went over plans for future meetings.

Whether it was energetically selling Christmas candles and cards, concen- trating while taking the test for the 1070 Search for America’s Future Homemaker, or enthusiastically making the trip to the district meeting in Rus- ton, the members of Byrd’s F.H.A. were never idle. The forty-one girls in the club always had some project to keep them busy. Their fund-raising projects over the year brouuht great results: the money paid for the Ruston trip and helped redecorate the Apart- ment. At the end of the year, each girl was left with a greater knowledge of the homemaking field and a won- derful feeling of accomplishment. Mrs. Sylvia McLain and Mrs. Norma Tay. lor sponsored the group. Vivian Hedrain, Kay Hartsfield, and Joyce Hollingsworth handed in their tests for the Betty Crocker contest to find the 1970 Home- maker of Tomorrow.

The girls also discovered that personality, character, and leadership ability are needed qualities in a skillful teacher. Serving as guides for the PTA Go-to- School Night, the girls helped the parents of Byrdites find their chil- dren’s rooms. The Delta Kappa Gamma Tea, which is held each year honoring all FTA members of Caddo and Bossier Parishes, the Fourth District Meeting, and the FTA Con- vention held in Baton Rouge were at- tended by FTA members. To decide who represented Byrd’s chapter of FTA at the state convention. Mrs. Edna Jewel Morgan and Mrs. Treba Vallery, the Club’s sponsors, esta- blished a system to earn points by service hours, such as participating in State Rallies and District meetings, doing PTA work, reading literature on education and giving a speech, tutor- ing, designing the Bulletin Board, and attending the FTA meetings. The girl who earned the most points represented the Byrd Chapter of FTA at the state convention. Choosing the representative for Byrd’s chapter of FTA to the state convention held at Captain Shreve High School were Ruth Bains, Donna Jones, Mary Andres, and Margaret Jue. 39 F.U.N.S.

Caml Mnrrav Drborah Rirhardion This year brought another first to Byrd—the Fiduciary Union of Numbers and Sciences. Organized in 1969, stu dents at Byrd who were interested in math and science, members got together after school to enjoy the magic of math and the wonders of science—in puzzles, games, problems, con- ferences, and field trips. Led by Physics teacher, Mr. James D. White, and Math teacher, Mrs. Sally N. Moody, the members of this newly formed club went to the South Central Bell Telephone Com- pany, the A.M.F. Beaird plant, Western Electric, and the ob- servatory of the Shreveport Astronomical Society. Last year’s science and math clubs combined to form the F.U.N.S. In the club meetings, every second Tuesday of each month, the thirty-five members planned their valuable field trips and experimented with the “mind-expanding” knowledge of science and math. 40 First Imprint on Byrd Tommy Landrum and Wyatt Lightfoot worked out mathe- matical problems on a computer for experience in Mx.

Excitement and discovery have marked the last year with the suc- cessful moonwalks by the American astronauts. We in Gayarre History Club have had our share. While out- erspace was being investigated, we were rediscovering Louisiana ' s past. Mrs. Mattie Gray Brown, a former Byrd teacher and an active member in the Louisiana Historical Associa- tion, made history come alive through colorful and humorous anecdotes and stories. Inspired by Mrs. Brown’s lec- tures as well as other historical pro- grams, Gayarre members participated in a fund-raising doughnut sale in anticipation of attending the Natchez Pilgrimage held each spring. The trip enabled history-hungry students to sample the Old South tradition.

That elusive group of people, of course, is the GUSHER Staff. There is the editorial staff, which is sponsored by Miss Margee Sanders. Many nights of the year, the lights in room 215 are not turned off until everyone on the staff is too tired to see the keys on his typewriter any more. After these stu- dents meet the final deadline, they are allowed only a little rest before they meet the truck from the publishing companv in order to unload the GUSHERS. The business staff is sponsored by Mrs. Phalamae Gray. This staff also puts in hard hours of work. Their primary concern is the financing of the GUSHER through the selling of numerous ads. The GUSHER is also responsible for the production of the annual Sen- ior Favorites assembly. Theme this year was a take-off of the popular T.V. show Hee Haw. Many hours of plan- ning the props and writing the script also went into this chore. but after all of its tasks are finished, the staff can be proud of its accomplishments if the citizens of Byrd say, “This is the way it was: this is MY GUSHER.” The Editor of the 1969-70 GUSHER was Barron O’Neal, and the A«M� riate Editor was Barbara Williams. GUSHER Changed to Eula Jane Norton captured the attention of Becky Guess, Chris Antliony, Cecilia RolH rt� on. and Carolyn Nelson, as «he explained the use of the light table. 44 Lavonda Camp and Judy Cohen followed Ellen Evans and Tom Radamacher from school as they prepared to sell more ads.

To find out about the news around the city of Byrd, all one has to do is pick up a Byrd “High Life.” Personali- ties of the month, editorials by the stu- dents, news around Byrd, and the world of sports are all featured in each issue. During the month of December a special issue was devoted to the Yule- tide Season. It was printed in Christ- mas green, and the “High Life” Staff announced the annual Mr. and Miss Mistletoe, Mike Clark and Carolyn Nelson. Also in January, there was a purple “High Life” issue. The edito- rial staff was responsible for writing the In Coach Larry Rambin’s Journalism class, M High Life w reporters compared their articles to those of the last issue. articles and laying out the pages. The business staff has a job of selling ads and promoting the “High Life.” For the first time this year all staffs were combined under a single sponsor—Mrs. Barbara Lochner, who juggled these staffs busy editing, financing, and circulating a six page paper. Without this determined group. Byrd students would not be notified of many of its activities, provided with interesting literary articles, informed of the news that will be the history of one special year at Byrd High School.

Business managers, Alvah Ann Neal and Cathy Pittman prepared to send out bills. 50 Purple and Gold Reigned on HOMECOMING Nigh “We are the Jackets” was the cry of the Stingerettes and student body during the 8:00 pep rally held in front of the school on October 31. During the assembly the Homecom- ing court and cheerleaders were pre- sented. Following the assembly, Byrd alumni and former teachers were hon- ored at a coffee, sponsored by the stu- dent council and Home Elconomic De partment. A familiar sight in the halls of Byrd during Homecoming week was the pep squad girls selling corsages and bou- tineers. The Homecoming court, which consists of a queen, a maid-of-honor, and four princesses, was elected by the seniors. The football sweetheart was chosen by the football team. After the game, The Cripping Force provided the music for the Homecom- ing dance, held at the Elks Club and ending a day of exciting events. Ivy Hedgcoek displayed a bright smile when Mr. J. H.

LATIN FORUM Was Best in State Learning about ancient Roman his- tory, participating in a state wide con- vention, and watching fierce gladiato- rial fights: these are just a few of the interesting events which Byrd Latin clubbers witnessed under the watchful eye of Miss Irma Robinson, sponsor. Preparing for the new year, the Forum sent several members to the national convention where they learned about other clubs and exchanged views. With the coming of school, the Byrd J.C.L. made plans for several exciting events. In the fall, the club sent mem- bers to Henderson, Texas, for a re- gional Latin meet. Here, they walked away with the best attendance prize. Moving into the winter months, the Forum held their annual Christmas party. A highlight of the party was the singing of Christmas songs in Lat- in. With the advent of spring, all the Forum’s attention tumed to the state- wide J.C.L. Convention, where the Byrd Forum has won the Praemium Maximum award, signifying Latin su- premacy, five out of seven times. There were endless hours of preparation as the Forum hoped to give Miss Robin- son, who is retiring this year, another first as a going-away present. With the end of school came the Latin Club banquet, in which all seniors were honored. Officers of the Latin Forum were: Front Row: Bryan Brown, Sergeant-at-Arms; Jim Shuey, Parliamentarian; Roh Fulton, Serg- eant-at-Arms.

RED CROSS Named The 1969-1970 Hed Cross officers were Benard Bolton, Treasurer; Beth Richardson, Sec- retary; Candy Pardue, President; and Tom Ham, Vice-President. What is today’s generation eoming to? This is a question asked by many people, but they don’t seem to know what is really going on. In Byrd High School an organiza tion known as the Red Cross showed what young people who cared could do. Thev collected money and bought Christmas presents for three needy fam- ilies and worked making ditty bags for servicemen in Vietnam. Holiday tray favors were made and taken to patients at the Veterans Hospital six times during the year. To aid the students of Byrd, student directories were printed and sold. Rulh Pickens showed Red Cross representa- tives and alternates the possible cover de- signs for the student directories. Members of the Executive Committee were Denise Switzer. projects; Rob Fulton, projects; Jane Sullivan, membership; and Cynthia Lindenmayer, workshop. 72 Student Directories For the first time the telephone book had a name, Byrd Call . Heading these many activities were the Executive Council, which is com- posed of officers and committee chair- men. To help in all undertakings, rep- resentatives and alternates were elect- ed from each home room. With the leadership of Miss Jean Ponder they worked successfully on the member- ship drive. Membership was extended to all students, and the home room with one hundred per cent member- ship was rewarded with a coke party.

Through it we can discover what could perhaps never be said in words. Pictured visiting the music building of a local college are: Martha Kurz, choir; Tim Wells, Ralph Squires Trophy Winner; Maud Cole, Choir Treasurer; Ruth Bains , All-State Choir; Penny Dove, Band Queen; Dan Henderson, Band President. Man ' s universai languaf ' e—the beau • tiful tvorld of music—can never be fully explained or even understood by men , for it rises above the limits of mere mortals and their lanf ' uages. Music inspires , consoles , anfcers, and cheers ils lisleners. Musical expression serves as an outlet for people of all apes; it can be one of the most fulfill - ing experiences in education , for it leads both those who actually produce it and those who merely enjoy it to realize that there is more to life than can be recorded in books. And the strivinp to excel fostered in budding musicians helps them discover their own ability , learn the thrill of working as a group lo produce a thing of beauty and enables them to express u hat men have felt through the ages. Music is a hond all nature shares in common — learning to appreciate it has led Ryrd students and people everywhere to discover true brotherhood and the highest ideals of life. 13 CONCERT CHOIR Accumulated Serving as officers of the choir this year were: Front Rotv: Pat Gordey, Alto Section Leader; Janet Carson, Secretary; Paula Sneed, Soprano Section Leader.

Department—a department uhich in - stills pride and love of country in each cadet it touches. And there are also many discoveries in this area ; through the rigid requirements of discipline , boys learn to become men—they come to value beyond price the ideals for which their country stands. And they emerge from their rigors of inspections and the trials of marching drills better persons—being more ready to defend their country and possessing a personal sense of pride that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. BATTALION STAFF was Backbone Battalion Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Randy Turner, checked the weapons of each cadet during the Battalion Inspection. in charge of training all personnel was the Battalion Staff, commanded by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Randy Turner. Also serving as officers were the S-l, S-3, and S-4. Acting as the S-l, Cadet Major John Paul Woodley was in charge of Personnel and Administration and was responsible for all records and paper work. The S-3, Cadet Major Larry Mclntosh, was in charge of Plans and Operations. He directed all operations of the bat- talion and planned such things as the Military Ball. He attended to all problems to make the battalion run smoothly. The Supply Officer, or S-4, Cadet Captain Jimmy Wolfengerger saw to it that each cadet was issued the correct uniforms and equipment. Major Lynn Gordey, Drill Team Commander; Major Lynn Westbrook, Rifle Team Commander; Jody Davis, Color and Saber Team Commander; and Sergeant Major George Reynolds, Battalion Sergeant Major, made up the Special Staff. The Battalion Staff did a large quantity of work in the R.O.T.C. office, including the efficient care and maintenance of all records.

Consisting of approximately seventy cadets, “A” Company was divided into two platoons with each platoon being divided into four squads. Acting as Company Commander, Captain Peter Hall was responsible for all training and accomplishing the mission of his company. The two platoon leaders were Second Lieutenents Terry Street and Mike Newman. Captain Joe Mad- den served as Executive Officer of “A” Company and acted as liaison between the Staff and the Company organiza- tion. Squad One of “A M Company stood at Parade Rest during a company drill practice. 100 Tickets to Spaghetti Supper Two days a week, Monday and Wednesday, were theory days. Classes on these days consisted of such basic military subjects as map reading, first aid, leadership, and drilling. The remaining three days were days of close order drilling or platoon train- ing. Tuesday was parade day, and Thursday, inspection day when each cadet wore a complete uniform, with Friday reserved for regular physical training. M A” Companv, under the capable direction of Second Lieutenant Terry Street, per- formed a left flank as they passed in review for inspection. Cadets of “A” Company checked their wea- pons to be sure they were in perfect condi- tion before the final inspection. At the annual spaghetti supper, Randy Tumer sold bullets for the rifle range to Anita Woodley, David Coodroe. and Doug Thomas. Sponsored annually bv the Bvrd R.O.T.C., the supper was heid in the school cafeteria, with cadets selling tickets to the public. 101 Commanders for “B” Company were Major Bill Pearce and Lieutenant Tommy Scales. Commanded by Cadet Major Bill Pearce, the “B” Company was com- posed of the Terrain, Weapons, and Communication Detachments. Commanded by Cadet Captain Dan Henderson, the Terrain Detachment analysts made up the division, with their duty being to read maps for troop movement. Cadet Sergeant First Class Bob Ingram commanded the Weapons Detachment. The men of this detach- ment were weapons experts on all heavy, light, foreign, and American weapons and were authorities on the correct maintenance, employment. and deployment of the weapons. Being the smallest portion of “B n Company, the Communications Detach- ment was the vital link between the division. Throughout the year the con- stituents of this group labored toward earning their ham radio licenses. Fach built his own radio, and every cadet learned hattlefield communications as well as civilian techniques. “B ” COMPANY Front Row: Lieutenant Thomas Scales, Staff Sergeant Hohert Ingram, Sergeant Glenn Coleman, Private First Class Michael Culver, Private First Class Ronnie Holderby.

Second Row: James Wolfenberger, Michael Kimhall, Scott Robertson, William Thomas, Terry Bryan. Third Row: Peter Davidson, Bill Perdue, Edward Dudley, Richard Pharris, Robert Carroll, Gary Rogers. Sounds of the Saber and Color Teams echoing across the practice field were testimony to the fact that these two groups have become an established part of the Byrd R.O.T.C. program in their second year of existence. Under the command of Major Jody Davis, Deputy Commander Major Larry Mclntosh, and Sponsor Penny Dove, the teams traveled to such places as Arlington, Texas, and Many and Natchitoches, Louisiana. Closer to home, the Saber and Color Teams marched in the Veteran’s Day, Christ- mas, and Holiday-In-Dixie Parades in Shreveport. A� Commander of the Silver Sabers, one of Jody Davis ' s duties was the care and upkeep of the Ten Flags of Louisiana. Clad in black berets, blue ascots, and West Point shirts, Saber members formed the Arch of Steel for the an- nual Military Ball. Proudly carrying the Ten Flags of Louisana, the Color Team marched side-by-side with the Saber Team to form a one-of-its-kind organization. Homecoming was one occasion on which a sense of pride in one’s country and an atmosphere of majesty were felt as the Color Team presented the history of Louisiana through her flags. 104 COLOR GUARD Displayed National Symbol Robrrt Hamm and Cfcil Scarborough prnudly carrird thc Louisiana state flag to iu poftt in onc of thc rrgular asscmblics. Color Guards stood at attention awaiting the 1969 Federal Inspection in order to gain a higher rating for Byrd’s R.O.T.C. Depart- mcnt. With thc fir t strains of thc “Star- Spanglcd Banncr” and the appcarance of thc Stars and Stripes, presentcd by the Byrd Color Guard, each student is stirred by the remembrance of the many accomplishments of our state and country. The Color Guard, com- manded by Sergeant First Class John Farley, was responsible for the presen- tation and posting of the Colors at the beginning of each assembly. Passers-by thrilled to the sight of the national and state flags flying high in front of Byrd. They were raised every morning and lowered each afternoon when school was dismissed, being the responsibility of the Color Guard. Sergeant Major George Reynolds was responsible for Guard members, Ser- geant First Class Robert Hamm, Ser- geant First Class Steve Morris, Staff Sergeant Cecil Scarborough, and Staff Sergeant James Roach. They displayed the flags in parades and cared for them at school. Stcvc Morris stood as John Farley posted the nation’ft flag in its stand. Afterwards thc fttudents honored the American flag with the pledge of allcgiance. Stan Bussey inspected Color Guard members, Steve Morris, John Farley, Cecil Scarborough, and Robert Hamm before presenting the color . 105 Byrd’s PATTON PLATOON Defeated Performing the “Queen Anne’s Salute,” the “Ripple Exchange,” and the “Get Lost” maneuvers while marching in parades, the George S. Patton Platoon is one of Byrd ' s most active groups. Named for the famous World War II General. the platoon was organized in 1952. Practicing after school every after- noon, members of the group are able to perform the intricate maneuvers with the highest degree of precision. Major Lynn Gordey and Lieutenant Colonel Carol Murray saw to it that the Platoon was in shape to perform. Among the activities of the Drill Team were the Veteran’s Day parade in Shreveport, the Christmas parade at Natchitoches. and a parade in Many where they won first place against the Black Knights from Natchitoches.

The Patton Platoon placed ninth at a United States Fourlh Army Competition held in Arlington, Texas for all drill teams in the Fourth Army division, and took first place at Holi- day in-Dixie. The Platoon also took part in the Caddo Drill Competition held at the Fair Grounds and earned a second place in this event. The Best Individual Competition was won by Cadet Staff Sergeant Stan Bussey. The inspection and basic drill phases were judged by the Army while the Marine Corps judged the Fancy Drill phase of the competition. During a fancy drill practice, the Platoon member performed the Diagonal Exchange while Commander Lynn Gordey executed the Spinning of the Weapon. ‘‘Practice makes perfect” was demonstrated by the Drill Team. They practiced during activity period and after school to perfect their maneuvers. Bill Pearce, Tony D’Anna, and Mark Ander- scn began the formation of the Diagonal Exchange. Patton Platoon lined up in preparation for a Fancy Movement under the direction of Major Lynn Gordey and Lieutenant Colonel Carol Murray. 107 RIFLE TEAM Produced Three Jr. Varsity Lettermen For the first time since 1961, the C.E. Byrd Rifle Team claimed a Jun- ior Varsity with three lettermen, Lynn Westbrook, Randy Turner, and Joe Madden. To be a letterman, a cadet must have a 240 or better average. Commanded by Cadet Major Lynn Westbrook, the 1969.-70 Byrd Rifle Team experienced its busiest year ever, travelling to Arlington, Fort Worth, Houston, and Orange, Texas. Members won first place in the meet in New Orleans. beating Fair Park by a nar- row margin. The Rifle Team consisted of an “A” team and a “B” team. The “B” team was commanded by Cadet Captain Joe Madden, whose primary objective was to train “B” team mem- bers for next year’s “A” team. Front Row: Doug Thomas; Commander, Lynn Westbrook. Second Row: Randy Turner, Joe Madden, Charles Pierce. Each year on Go-To-School night every organization of Byrd has a display. Cecil Scarborough guarded the weapons and trophies of the Rifle Team.

During the year, the Officers and Sponsors held at football game with the N.C.O. Club and planned a basketball game with several other school-sponsored organizations; they also played successfully against other R.O.T.C. units from area high schools. Several money-raising projects were carried out by the group. The sponsors sold cakes and assisted in collecting news- pap ers and coke bottles. Together with the sponsors, they held the annual spaghetti supper and sold vanilla extract. All funds accumulated from these were used to finance the Militarv Ball and the summer camp held at Ft. Polk. The Officers and Sponaors Club collected newspapers to raise funds for the annual Military Ball with the help of Miss Ann McWilliams. Captain Andrew Hall lst Lt.

Besides assisting the R.O.T.C in all phases of their activities, the group also accompanied the cadets on their various trips. Serving this year as members of the auxiliary were: Front Row: Reda Cross, Mary Deen. Second Row: Katie Parks. Jacqueline Gonyea, Sherri Lynn Byrd. Third Row: Andrew Hall Jr. Company Sponsor; Deborah Brown. With the ruling of the Fifth District Federal Court in February, many adjustments and mergers had to be instituted. The R.O.T.C. was no exception, as Bill Pearce, with other members of the Byrd R.O.T.C., visited the Valencia organization in prepara- tion of the combining of the two units. The annual R.O.T.C. Spaghetti Supper in November was enjoyed by all, as those in attendance participated in the many games and entertainment available following the meal. III Disoovcry of truth often comes to man through the quiet beauty of nature. Taking a well-deserved hreak after stTiving for honor, which can only be gained by hard work and self sacrifice, by willingness to give much more than is required, are: Chris Anthony, Football Scholastic Award; Barbara Williams, National Honor Society Vice-President; Whittney Quinn, Quill and Scroll Vice-President; Steve Middleton. Pelican Boy’g State; John Paul Woodley, National Merit Finalist; Bernard Johnson, National Forensic League President; Petesie Hadra, National Merit Letter of Commendation. Strugf ' ling always to do ones best — makinf the most of one ' s natural abili • ties — carinf ' —these things result in that tanfible recof ' nition called honor. Honors reward the individual and bring meril to his school. Through them Jackels have been able to discover much about themselves and the world in which they live. They have learned to be humble in the face of praise, to strive nol for the fame and glory that comes with honor, but for the personal sense of pride in a job well-done. For, while the reward of honor is to some an incentive to achieve, it is in giving extra, unrequired effort that honor truly comes; merit is attained in this way even by those not openly rec - ognized by others. Honors, then , have helped the students of Byrd High School discover that mans highest goal is trying to do his best—for him - self. his school. nnd his country. 113 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Chris Anthony Tommy Berry Don Birkelbach Bill Clark Kay Coombs Nancy Creamer David Stephens— President Barbara Williams— Vice-President Cecilia Robertson— Secretary - T reasurer Penny Dove Jean Dover Carolyn Foster Janet Cammill Gale Gueas Pcteeie Hadra Joyce Hollingsworth Martha Kurz As the finale to the Homecoming Assembly, Whittney Quinn, Cecilia Robertson, Kay Coombs, and Janet Gam- lill—members of the NHS cast—danced to the tune of “We Are Jackets.” 114 Supplied Tutoring After School Dick Levy Janet Marvin Carolyn Nelson Perry Peyton Adrienne Po s Whittney Quinn Sponsored this year by Miss Virginia Chadick and Miss Earline Jordan, the National Honor Society ini- tiated several projects and carried them out successfully. For the first time, members of the N.H.S. donated their time after school on designated days to tutor students in subjects which might be giving them a little bit of trouble. Students also came in to expand their knowledge and work “above and beyond the call of duty.” At Christmas, the N.H.S. sent gifts of food to a family which otherwise would not have been able to celebrate the holiday season very cheerfully. As is customary, the members of the National Honor Society, which number thirty-one, handed out diplomas at the 1969 Graduation exercises, as well as assisted at Baccalaureate. Continuing with tradition, the members formed the cast for the Homecoming Assembly which recounts Byrd’s past, as well as its future. This year’s play concerned the adventures of three witches and two warlocks who were determined to find the secret of Bvrd spirit, and, then, to destroy it. In the end. Byrd spirit refused to die, and the quintet decided, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’cm!” Another project which the National Honor Society sponsored was a flower sale to help Bvrd students “Swing into Spring.” Varied carnations were sold to represent different emotions, and were sent anony- mously during first period. Representing students with strong character, leadership, scholarship, and service qualities. the N.H.S. continued to serve Byrd well in its thirty-fifth vear as an organization.

Remained on Martha McGelland kept a careful watch on time for the Byrd debaters at the Byrd Invitational Tournament. Bemard John son President Participating in debate trips, selling do- nuts to raise money, and giving a “live” debate in assembly were a few of the Na tional Forensic League’s joys and sorrows. The N.F.L., honorary debate club, was made up of sophomores, juniors, and sen iors who have accumulated twenty-five speaking points on debate trips. This year the club numbered twenty-four and was under the capable leadership of Mr. Ray mond Rogers, first year debate coach. The success of the Byrd N.F.L. has been no accident; much hard work has been put into it. Preparing for debate tournaments started even before school did, as many members went to summer workshops. With the beginning of school, the members spent many hours after school improving their debate techniques. The hard work paid off as, once again, the N.F.L. has had a suc cessful season.

You are a new member of Quill and Scroll!” read the note which each of Byrd’s successful ' student journalists received after months and months of hard work. Members of the GUSHER and “High Life” staffs were given special recognition in this way for their accomplishments on the school yearbook and newspaper. To be eligible for membership, a GUSHER staff member must have worked at least ninety hours on the year- book. A “High Life” staff member must have contributed at least fifty inches to the newspaper or sold $100 worth of ads. All juniors must have a “B” average and seniors a “C-|-” average. After being recommended by their sponsor and approved by Mr. Duncan, the new members were introduced to the school in a special Quill and Scroll assembly. The old members pinned them with blue and gold ribbons, which they were required to wear for the rest of the day. That night, both old and new members were honored at an installation banquet at a local restaurant. After the officers were formally introduced, the new members were required to perform humorous skits as part of their initiation. Then they recited an oath which made them all official members of Quill and ScroII. To the amusement of the other members, Anne Pou, Judy Cohen, Chris Anthony, and Billy Fraser ran a three-legged race as part of their initiation into Quill and Scroll.

One of Lorgest in Area Entering its third year at Byrd, the DeSoto Chapter of the Spanish Na- tional Honor Society inducted seven new members, making it one of the largest organizations of its type in the area. The S.N.H.S. is open only to those who make superior grades in advanced Spanish and have a 3.0 overall grade average. Due to these restrictions, many schools have no members, and Byrd is fortunate in having so jnany members. One of the activities of this group, which is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Irbie Law- rence, was the induction ceremony which was presented entirely in Spanish. Perry Peyton signed the membership roll at the firgt S.N.H.S. ineeting. Newly elected memhers. Valerie Vlorelock, Texas Tucker, and Perry Peyton on the first row i and Laura Walton and Jane Sullivan (on the tecond row) prepared for the induction ceremony. Maud (lole, the only memher earning the honor a second time, passed the candle, symholi ing achievement, to Texas Tucker, Susan Burger, and Jane Sullivan in the impressive induction ceremony. 119 Experience Was Key Word at PELICAN STATE If there was one word to describe Louisiana Boys’ and Girls’ State, it would have to be “experience.” For eight days and seven nights, seniors in high schools from all over the state stayed on the L.S.U. campus and “experienced.” They experienced campaigning for offices on the city, parish, and state levels; they experienced working with never-ending fervor to finish a city project; they experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat: they experienced the anxiety of awaiting an unknown date for the Governor’s Ball. All of this, with more to come, was in store for those persons who were elected delegates to their respective mythical states during their junior year. Byrd was well-represented with eleven delegates attending, and Rusty Simmons garnering the post of State Treasurer. Delegates from the preceeding year formed the cast for an as- sembly concerning Pelican State directly before the new delegates were elected. The representatives depicted different aspects of their weeks’ stay in Baton Rouge as an explanation of some of the duties and responsibilities of a Pelican Senator Stater. “Experience” was definitely the word to express a boy’s or girl’s stay at Pelican State. Serving as altemates to Louisiana Boys and Girls’ States were: Nancv Cr°amer, Dick Levy, Julia Minor, Glenn Fallin, Bill Clark, Ann Younker, Rcbel Brown, Jon Cordell, and Joyce Hollingsworth.

Each morning the Tardy Desk workers, Patsy Ogletree, Debbie Boyett, Mr. Johnny Harkness, and Susan Andrews, reported for duty to Room 125. They served the school by writing admits and making records of students who couldn’t quite make it to school on time. Any sick girl could find help in the First Aid Room. Civing up their study halls to work there were Elizabeth Rogers, Marilyn Eubanks, Pam Courtney, Janette Fertitta, Teri Felker, and Deby Howard. Elarly each school day Chuck Knight, Jim Cowles, Orie Hunter, and Bill McCutchen made their rounds through the parking lot, checking parking lot stickers and making sure all cars were parked properly. 122 Life at Byrd More Comfortable Many studenta devoted their atudy halla to working in the School Store, which makea money for the Student CounciL The School Store workers were: Front Row: Gary Cov- ington, Kathleen McBride, William Norton.

As soon as they had finished delivering messages to teachers and students, the counselors were ready for them to record schedule changes or file standardized test scores. Checking students in and out was a never-ending task, and filing permanent records took much time. The office workers, in their unselfish hours of service, helped “smooth out some of the rough spots” in a partic- ularly hectic administrative year. Front Row: Linda Reno.

Basketball, and Track—but also a new dimension to the club by admitting Letter- men of the minor sports to membership. Again the main project of the Varsity Lettermen was in putting on the Homecoming Dance. The club also sold food to the fans who attended the Class C Regional Tournament held in the Byrd Gym, in order to raise badly needed funds for the Jacket Athletic department. As an extra reward for being in the Varsity Club, the members were admitted free to all athletic functions held at Byrd.

During Christmas timc, the Rcd Cross headed a drivc for thc purposc of playing Santa Claus to twclvc children whom they had adoptcd. The studcnts werc excep- tionally generous, giving $270. Another ve sel in Byrd’s big heart found students meeting as Praver Groups at night meetings in a Byrdite’s home. There a student spoke about any aspect of life that he chose, and then his listeners expressed their own opinions and viewpoints. These meet- ings were open to the entire student body of Ilyrd.

Jus ier JtafJ Presents Senior Jauorites “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. w This has heen the poal of each memher of the Senior Class of 1070 through the years he has spent at Bvrd High School. As a result of the endless discoveries he has made while a part of the preat City of Byrd, he has accumulated honors and re- sponsibilities worthy of mention on the pages of this book. So that these op- portunities might be made availahle to everyone, seniors are allowed to hold only one major office and one minor office or three minor offices. Those who held major offices have been given special recognition through- out the Senior Section. On January 28, these Seniors met for the first time and chose six girls and six boys who, hy popular vote, would become the 1070 Senior Favor- ites. The senior members of the GUSHER Staff honored these twelve in a s|� ecial assembly on February 10. As is traditional at Byrd, the names of the Favorites were not revealed to the student body until the Senior Favorite assembly, when each one of those elerted was required to perforvn a humorous stunt on stage. On the following pages, the GtlSHER Staff proudly recognizes these Senior Favor- ites in order of the number of votes received. Also worthy of distinction are the ten runners-up for Senior Favorites. who are pictured on this page. They are Rebel Brown, Don Birkelbach, Gale Guess, Steve Middleton, Julia Minor, Ferry Peyton, Anne Pou, David Stephens, Barbara Williams. and Mike Swinney. But just as imjior- tant are all the other Seniors who have made Byrd lligh School a part of their lives. For ea -h one has contributed a part of himself and, in so doing, has hel| cd make the Senior Class of 1970 one of sincere and everlasting friend- ships. 133 1969-1970 7 i iam ( iar e.s ( ar t 7 a tj ( ' onrte ( A e 135 c Sen or T ' aooriies • 36 Ja nes Ttusxe Jric e ( ’ ar ee 7! een mit i 1969-1970 , fUin Ulic iae ( ’ ar ancy , Janc Juin 137 138 JUtc ae Uer r e 7 i tarns !nn 7 rne- J urnsen 7 t ’ ' hert ( S J (j onnsenr 77 !nn (tyatt jounker 139 Ringing with echoing memories, the empty practice field is an eloquent reminder of the many hours of all-out effort made on the part of Byrd athletes. Whether this effort resulted in victory or defeat and whether or not the individual received recognition, no one has ever wasted time on this field, for in striving to excel he has made many discoveries which will always stand him in good stead. Pictured reminiscing on the field are: Cecilia Robertson, Pep Squad President; Mike Swinney, All-City Football Team; David Stephens, Tennis; Pete Hall, Basketball; Perry Peyton, Baseball; Billy Fraser, Track; Judy Cohen, Basketball Sweetheart. Athlelics , with all ils challenges, is one of the best examples of the many fields in which “experience is the best teacher” When one becomes a part of a team rather than a member , he learns the valne of working as a group, and he gains experience in human rela - tions. An athlete learns to give his best to any job and never to $ive up until that task is completed. He learns to be humble in the glories of victory, yet he also learns to face defeat with such a defiant nature that he will not easily lose again. A girl is better equipped for womanhood for leading an active , healthy life after competing in athlet- ics. A boy 9 through striving and com- peting , winning and losing, discovers a man in himself as he comes to mea- sure his own ability. He also discovers reality; he finds that life is not always a nice bed of roses” for at one time or other he must feel the thorns. And so competition through athletics is dis- covery—discovery of a man in him- self t discovery of the thrill of team- work , of his own abilities , and of his place in the world. 141 ERIC B. JOHNSON CHARLES E. FISHER ROB JOHN ARMOR Byrd Boasts Only DIVING TEAM in City Eric Johnson completed an open back flip in pike position which was one of the optional back dives.

Accompanied by Coach John Rogers, Charlie Fisher and Eric Johnson went to the Louisiana State Swimming and Diving Meet in New Orleans. The scoring was done by multiplying the degree of difficulty by the amount of points that they received in their dive, out of a maximum of ten.

The theme of thi« ycar’a baaketball day, “Bewitch the Knights”, backfired as Byrd loat their sec- ond game to Woodlawn thia season. The highlight of the evening was the presenta- tion of the basketball court. This year’s court included a representative from each class, along with a senior who reigned as queen. The spirit of the student body was exemplified by the inspired play of the team as the day was climaxed. Cec« Satori, aopkomore represeatative, had Doo Birk- elback m her eacorl.

Duncan. 149 BYRI) 58 HAUGHTON 69 Hustling all the way, Byrd was in its opening ball game until the fourth quarter. The fighting Jackets saw a Haughton half-time lead of 49-48 increase rapidly in the fourth quarter to end in a 69-58 loss for Byrd. The only thing salvaged from the first loss was a fine 19 point performance by Sein r Rusty Simmons. BYRD 65 ROBELINE 72 Bouncing out to an early 6-0 lead against Robeline, the Jackets wcre soon overcome by the accurate shoot- ing of the Bulldogs. Perry Peyton and Pete Hall held scoring honors with 12 points apiece. It wasn’t enough, how- ever, to overcome the Bulldog’s hot- handed performance. Leon Thompson, Orie Hunter, and Rusty Simmons also turned in fine games. BYRD 106 SPRINGHILL 40 Byrd’s roundballers broke a two game losing streak and took their first win of the season by putting the axe to the Springhill Lumberjacks to a tune of 106 to 40. Five of the Yellow Jackets hit in double figures with Leon Thompson’s 18 points leading the way. Other hot hands in the game belonged to Orie Hunter. Rusty Simmons, Pete Hall, and Don Birkelback. BYRD 87 MINDEN 48 In romping to their second straight victory, the Jackets left scorched nets in the home gym of the Minden Tide. The first quarter lead of ten points was to set a pattern for the second and third quarters also. as the roundballers built a 39 point lead by the end of the third quarter. The remaining quarter was then handled by substitutes. Score honors of the night went to Don Birkel- back, who wound up with 18 points. PERRY PEYTON-Sr. Letterman II Jackets Even Record BYRD 59 SPRINGHILL 32 Running their winning streak to three in a row, the Jackets had their •econd victory over Springhill. Pro- pelled by a 14 point perfonnance by Sophomore Leon Thompson, the team overcame the stalling tactics of their opposition and took a 59 to 32 win. The Lumberjacks were in the game until halftime; in the third quarter however, the accurate shots of Don Birkelback and Orie Hunter put the game in the bag and raised the team’s overall record to 3-2. BYRD 54 RUSTON 69 Using an effective zone press, the Jackets built up a 14-9 lead by the end of the first quarter, but the Ruston Bearkats overcame this in the second period to win it going away. The Bvrd team’s cold shooting of less than 309f t was reflected in the final 69-54 score. The high point of the night for the squad was Don Birkelback’s 11 points, as the team saw its record evened at 3-3. 150 PETE HALL-Sr. Letterman I RUSTY SIMMONS—Sr. Letterman I BYRD 58 LaGRANGE 82 Byrd’s quintet was obviously cold from the bus trip down to Lake Charles, because they dropped their second in a row, this one by a score of 82-58. Cold shooting and poor ball handling was the difference in the ball game. as the Gators of LaGrange took control from the start. Sophomore ace, Leon Thompson led Byrd scorers with 13 points and was closely followed by Junior Orie Hunter, who had 12 points. The Jacket’s record slumped with the loss to 3-4. BYRD 60 SULPHUR 78 Getting off to a slow start, and falling behind by 23 points at the half, made it verv difficult for the varsity to stage a comeback against the high- scoring Sulphur roundballers. The Jackets, led by an 18 point perform- ance by Leon Thompson, did man- age to fight back, only to lose the second of two games in the Lake Charles double-header. After Losing Openers BYRD 53 WEST SABINE 75 Byrd dropped its second tournanrfent game in a row to the hot-shooting West Satfine Tigers. Finding their own scoring cold, the Jackets were forced to call upon the talent of sophomores Leon Thompson and Jim West, who combined for 25 points. The loss dropped the Jackets record to four wins and seven losses. BYRD 68 NORTHWOOD 78 After managing a five point lead at the first quarter break, the Jacket of- fense went cold and the Northwood Falcons could do nothing but make points. Though the team came back to outscore their opponents 26 to 18 in the third quarter, it was not enough to win. Scoring honors of the night went to Pete Hall, who wound up with 18 points. CENE HATCHER—Sr. Letterman I BYRD 58 JESUIT 56 Pete Hall proved to be the “man of the hour” in Byrd’s 58 to 56 win over the Jesuit Flyers. It was Pete’s last minute steal and layup that brought home the Jacket’s fourth win of the season and broke a three game losing streak. He scored eight of the teams last twelve points. which along with Thompson’s 18 points, was enough to shoot down the Flyer’s bunch. BYRD 53 ZWOLLE 68 Bounding off to a first quarter lead of 19 to 16, the hardcourt squad found the going rough the rest of the wav as they dropped their opening round game in the Ark-La-Tex tourna- ment to Zwolle by a score 68 to 53. Pete Hall and Leon Thompson were scraping all the way as they wound up with 18 and 17 points respectively. BYRD 51 RUSTON 76 Still in a shooting slump, the Byrd roundballers found the going rough as they were unable to cope with the flashy offense of the Ruston Bearkats. After a 10 point deficit at the half, the goals at the Jacket end of the court connnued to be cold and the best foot they could put forward was the 13 points of Leon Thompson. BYRD 65 NATCHITOCHES 53 Yellow Jacket cagemen Rusty Sim- mons and Pete Hall combined their best scoring performances of the season to lift Byrd bv the Red Devils from Natchitoches by a score of 65 to 53. Simmon’s 22 points and Hall’s 19 points were more than enough to enable the varsity squad to break a four game losing streak. The win raised the team’s overall record to 5 and 9. BILL McCUTCHEN—Jr. Letterman I LEON THOMPSON—Soph. Letterman I Roundballers Win Trophy BYRD 44 CAPTAIN SHREVE 78 Byrd opened district play with a 78 to 44 loss at the hands of defending District Champion, Captain Shreve. The Jackets stayed with Shreve’s high- scoring Cators through the first quarter. and led at one point by a score of 11 to 10. The Gators pulled away in the second period. however, and allowed the Jackets very few points after that. Sophomore Leon Thompson was the only bright spot of the night, as he wound up with 20 points. BYRD 55 AIRLINE 85 Breaking off to a lead that at one time was as much as 13 points, the hardcourt squad found themselves short of the winning points when the final buzzer sounded to end the Airline game. Pete Hall’s 26 points just weren’t enough to make up for the blistering percentage of Viking shots that fell through the hoop in the second half. The loss left the Jackets with an 0 and 2 district slate. Perry Peyton drove on a Fair Park defender in Byrd’a 56-54 diatrict win. 152 BYRD 63 BOSSIER 91 Lots of height handed the basketball team their third district defeat as they were unable to stop Bossier’s shooting and unable to rebound against the Bearkat team. Hall. Thompson, and Simmons led Byrd scorers with 18. 18, and 15 points respectively. The loss dropped the team’s overall record to 5 and 12. BYRD 60 WOODLAWN 94 After falling behind the defending state champion Woodlawn team by a score of 25 to 6 in the first quarter, the Jarkets were unable to stage any kind of a come back and dropped their fourth straight district decision by a score of 94 to 60. Senior Rusty Sim- mons was the only light in a dark night as he finished with 18 points. Aiding the cause were Don Birkleback with 13 points and Orie Hunter with 12 . ORIE HUNTER—Jr. Letterman I CHUCK KNIGHT- Squadman in Airline Tournament BYRD 76 EBARB 85 Louisiana prep school’s all time leading scorer, Creg Procell, was a stumbling stone in the path of the Byrd Jackets as they opened the Air- line Invitational Tournament. Scoring from everywhere, his 52 points were enough to finally overtake and defeat a valiant performance on the Jacket’s part. Leon Thompson and Rusty Sim- mons combined for 47 points and 34 rebounds for star performances of the season. BYRD 66 HALL SUMMIT 53 By getting a fine show from Leon Thompson and Rusty Simmons, the Byrd five broke a five game lo«ing streak and won their sixth game of the season. The win moved the round- ballers into the consolation match of the Airline tourney where they were to meet Simsboro. Simmons and Thomp- son combined for the second time in a row for leading game points between them. Each also grabbed off 10 re- bounds in their fine defensive per- formances. BYRD 82 SIMSBORO 58 By blasting the Simsboro squad off the court, Byrd walked off with its first basketball trophy in two years. Sophomore Leon Thompson led the fighting Jackets to the winner’s bracket in the consolations finals of the Airline tournament, as he scored 27 points and hauled down a game high 32 rebounds. Rusty Simmons with 17 points, and Don Birkelback with 16 points greatly aided the cause. BYRD 56 FAIR PARK 54 Winning Byrd ' s first district game in over two years was Coach John Roger’s definition of happiness as the Jacket team pulled out two last second points to upset the favored Indians of Fair Park. The basket came with 3 seconds left in the game on Orie Hunter’s twenty foot jump shot. Senior Rusty Simmons led scorers with 15 points, closely followed by Don Birkel- back, who had 14 points. RANDY ROBERTSON—Soph. Squadman JERRY PEYTON—Soph. Squadman Jackets Meet Rough BYRD 44 CAPTAIN SHREVF 69 Away from the home court, the Jackets found the going rough as they met the defending district champions. As Byrd fell behind by 11 points in the first quarter, they were forced to play catch-up ball the rest of the gaine. The hot shooting of junior Orie Hunter, who hit 8 of 12 from the field, led the Byrd scorers with 16 points. He was closely followed by Rusty Sim- mon’s 15 points. BYRD 60 AIRLINE 67 Comebacks in the second and fourth quarters almost brought home another district win for the fighting Jackets. Struggling under the pressure of an eiaht point deficit at the end of the first period, the Byrd quintet closed the gap to two points at the half. The Vikings, however, poured in seven more points than the Jackets in the third quarter, and the team’s final surge was not enough to catch the Air line team. Thompson and Hunter led Byrd scorers with 16 and 15 points respectively. Rusty Simmons applied the pressure to a Bearkat in the Byrd-Bossier game. 154 This year’s baskptball managrrs were Paul Scott and John Holcomb. An Airline player watched helplessly as Rusty Simmons sank another Kisket. District Schedule BYRD 46 BOSSIER 61 Leading at all breaks except the last, the Jackets put the highly-ranked Bear- kats to shame on their own home court. A three point lead at the end of the first quarter held true all the way into the fourth period, and only a closing surge put the Bossier team out front. I ?on Thompson put on a one-man show as he poured in 22 points to lead all scorers in the game. He also hauled down 14 rebounds, another game high. BYRD 52 WOODLAWN 86 By holding off the defending state champion Knights from Woodlawn through the first half, the Jackets managed only a stay of execution, as the Woodlawn five hit from every- where in the second half to overpower the Byrd quintet. Leon Thompson’s 23 points was high for the night. but Don Birkelback aided the cause greatly with 12 points. The loss was the second of the season to Woodlawn and the eighth district loss to one win with only one game remaining in the season. BYRD 51 FAIR PARK 58 Despite a fourth period bombard- ment of 17 points by the team, the Jackets were unable to make up for the cold shooting in the three previous quarters, and they lost the closing game of the season to Fair Park by a score of 58 to 51. Not one Bvrd playcr was able to score in double figures, and when Leon Thompson injured a leg midway through the contest, Rusty Simmons was left on his own to re- bound against the taller Indians. Don Birkelback, Gene Hatcher, and Thomp- son shared scoring honors with eight points each. The loss capped the team’s district record at 9 and 1, and lowered the overall season record to 8 and 19.

The Jackets showed some fine individual performances as they placed first in ten events and second in five over the season.

Eight of the Jackets’ ten opponents were placed in the top ten state ranking—either AA or AAA— and five advanced into the state play- offs. Byrd opened its season with a scrim- mage against two opponents, Lake Charles and Jennings. After accepting a 0-6 defeat in the hands of Jennings, the Byrd-men fought back and beat Lake Charles by a 6-0 score. In the first half of the regular season. nothing seemed to go right, as the Jackets dropped to defeat in their first five starts. Playing Airline in its new sta- dium, the Jacket offense seemed to come alive as they ran up 21 points before being crushed by the potent Vikings. Next came district champion Woodlawn, which had one of the highest scoring offenses in the state. The Jacket defense rose to this chal- lenge and held the Knights to 8 points, 20 points less than the lowest against Woodlawn in the last five years. AA power Minden was next foe. Driving 96 yards in the final two minutes of the game, the Jackets emerged victorious, 14-13. Moving on to meet arch rivals Captain Shreve and Fair Park. luck again turned on the Yellow Jackets, as they fell to both. Regardless of a poor season. spirit never faltered, and two Jackets re- ceived area-wide honors—Mike Swin- ney, All-City Cuard. and Leon Thomp- son, All-District End. 171 YELLOW JACKETS Front Row: Tom Blansett, Danny Toney, Jeff Eskridge, LaiTy Thomas, and Bill Shaw. Second Row: Larry Alford, Harvey Nichols, Rudy Scalpino, Mike Glaasell, and Randy West. Third Row: Donnie Malarcher, Mike Malone, Harry Crawford, John Morgan, and Chrit Anthony. Fourth Row: Leon Thompson, David Delouche, James Bradford, Ted Johnson, Bemard Bolton, and David Adams. In his second year as Byrd’s Head Coach, Jimmy Harrison brought several changes. Probably the major change for the 1969 Yellow Jackets was the installation of the Pro-set offense. Retuming to bolster the jacket squad were the following returning lettermen: Front Row: Larry Alford, John Morgan, Robert Little, Chris Anthony, Randy West, WUI McCrocklin. Second Row: Charles Thrash, James Bradford, Mike Swinney, Steve Middleton, Wayne Philen. Making up the 1969 managerial staff were John Good and Morgan McElroy. 172 Had 1-9 Season Coach Larry Rambin explained the “26 de fense to the Jackets in a practice sesaion.

JAMES BRADFORD—Sr. Tackle—Letterman II Ruston 27 From the opening moments of the second half, all seemed to fall apart for the Jackets as their offense stalled and the Bearcats began to move the ball at will against the defense. As the final gun sounded, the score was 27-6. The only really bright spot showed in the punting of Mike Swinney who averaged 45.5 yards in five attempts. STEVE MIDDI.ETON Sr. End—Letterman II at Season’s Beginning Larry Thomas brought down a Woodlawn end as Will McCrocklin and Anderson Johnson closed in to help.

Go West I)ay started with the break of dawn when sleepy-eyed Pep Squad members decorated the houses of all the football players. The seniors made the annual Senior March from the Youth Center to Byrd, after which a pep rally was held on the student parking lot. To create more spirit, an assembly was held where a play was seen, and Jon Cordell and Candy Cov- ington sang Western music. During lunch Jon and Candy, with the “dance hall” girls of the Silver Spur Saloon— Janet Marvin, Sally Gee, Carolyn Fost- er, Mary Ann Tindol, Pat Massey, Lin- da Collins, Rebel Brown, and Harriett Jennette provided entertainment.

Built Strong Bodies In P.E., the boys played football, basketball, and baseball, ran track, lifted weights, and took one six weeks of health. The games built rnuscles, while track built up wind and muscles. Jumping on the trampoline and tumbling increased coordination. Health, being very important, taught the students about the body and what to do in an emergency. Every Friday, the students in R.O.T.C. participated in regular P.E. classes. The boys were graded according to their fitness and improvement. In a rousing game of football during the first six weeks, the “ahirta’’ kicked off against the “akins.” “Look out!” shouted Don Herring aa he almost landed on top of a friend in one of the P.E. classes who practiced coordination.

Freezing weather forced coach Gene Hamner to use a variety of players. Striving to beat out a grounder for a hit, Jacket Perry Peyton gave it all he had in a winning cause against Woodiawn. Eagle eyed Elloit Stonecipher was prepared to hit anything pitched when the Jackets beat Fair Park 4-3. RUSTON 0 He had plenty of help at the piate, too. as the Jackets banged out nine hits.

This scene was often repeated in the course of many Jacket games. GIRLS’ P.E. Offered a Valuable Ballet was taught to develop each girl’a poise. Sally Gee t Kay Coombs, Teri Felker Jean Dover and Pauia Mexritt were going through the third position. One of the most important lessons that a person needs to learn is the way to get along with others. The high school years have proven to be the most valuable time to learn this lesson. The best means of experience is to be with other people in compe- tition. Girls’ physical education is offered and required in all high school years. During the one hour given to gym, girls are striving to improve their physical, mental, and social fitness. A wide variety of activities was offered including team sports, individual sports, dancing, health, first aid and social hygiene. Through competition the girls have learned that in this world we must be able to get along with others to live. The gym class has provided this competition. Modem dance is used to express emotions and ideas through movement and rhythm and to develop good control. Mrs. Penny Finuf, the student teacher, was leading the P.E. girls in a modem dance routine. Different techniques were combined to produce this dance. Archery has proven to be a great aid in de- veloping good posture. Safe methods of re- trieving arrows were also learned during this course. Safety was a very important aspect in this sport. 200 Lesson Through Competition Gvmnaaticft taught coordination. agility and balance. A human pyramid wa§ conMrnrted bv Mary Tcrrill.

There has always been a large percentage of Byrd graduates going on to higher edu- cation. Pictured at one of the institutions for which they have helped prepare students are: Mrs. Mary McClanahan, English III; Mr. John Harkness, geometry; Mr. J. H. Duncan, administration; Mrs. Lottie Cooper, business arithmetic; Mr. James Hife, driver education, and Miss Jeannine Pondrr, biology. 202 Dedicalion , skill, and patience — these are just a few of the qualities found in the Byrd faculty—those peo- ple responsihle for so many of the discoveries students make during their high school years. And these dis - coveries are jyarticularly important ones , for the way in which they reveal the world to the student very often determines that sludent ' s choice of the way to spend the remainder of his life. Guidinp, his classes through worlds ancient and modern , instillinfr them with the desire to explore and discover for themselves the mysteries around them , the leacher also tries to develop complete personalities as well as students. In an effort to prepare young people to take their place in society , he attempts to reveal the importance of character and respon- sibilility and fulfillment. But once the student has been shown the discoveries and achievements of the past , once he has learned the skills and guidelines for makint ' discoveries in the present , the teachers job is over; he must step back while the individual he has molded and shaped goes forward on his own to form the society and make the discoveries of the future. He “Moved Along in a Fine Manner” The names C.E. Byrd and Mr. J. H. Duncan are synonymous in the hearts of all in the city of Byrd. He has kept up the spirit of Byrd for fifteen years and our assemblies would not be worthwhile without hearing the famil- iar phrases of Mayor Duncan. After an absence of a month for emergency appendicitis, he returned for the Jesuit assembly to receive a ten minute standing ovation. He always gave equal credit to scholastic advancement and sports achievement. Even in the games, when the chips were down, Mr. Duncan kept the spirit high and the team pulling. Mr. Duncan lists all his activities and interests in Byrd, with building it a nation wide reputation for being an outstanding school in all categories. He has molded Byrd into what it is today and has made it “Keep on keep ing on.” He has kept it “moving on down the line in a fine manner,” and “that’s fair” to have a principal like Mr. Duncan. So, when a citizen of Byrd thinks back on his high school years, he’ll think of Dunc’s spirited cry, “Who are the Jackets?” and in his heart he will know that HE is a Jacket. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Duncan viaited with the music students prior to the Choral Christmas Concert given by the choir and the band. 204 OFFICE PERSONNEL Used Computer Grading BeinK the assistant principal in charge of instruction and teaching humanities takes up most of Mrs. Wintle s time.

Trade School Students Specialized There is a handful of students at Byrd that are drawn to trades that call for special training, and since Byrd is not always able to supply this school- ing, they are allowed to go to trade school. The Shreveport-Bossier Voca- tional Technical Training Center handles those students interested in Auto-Mechanics, while the trade school on Hope Street accommodates students interested in small engines. This year, three Byrd students took the Auto-Mechanics course, while one participated in the small engines train- ing. These students were released to go to these classes after third period, and received subject credit. When they complete these courses, they will be well accomplished in their chosen fields and have a secure hold on the future. 206 Andrew McCarter and Tommy Elbert looked on as Aubry Robinson checked tbe pluga on an engine.

TEACHERS IRMA ROBINSON: With the coming of 1970, Miss Irma Robinson ended her thirty- nine years of service to C. E. Byrd High School. During this period Miss Robinson taught Latin on all four levels and sponsored the Byrd Latin Forum. In seven Louisiana State Latin Conventions, Byrd’s team, under her leadership, has won five Praemum Max- imum awards, for the best team present. Only through this kind of devotion has Byrd been able to rise to its present level of great- ness. Byrd Lost Two EXPERIENCED SAM JAMES MARANTO: Having com- pleted twenty-three years of service to Byrd, Mr. Sam James Maranto retired from teach- ing. During his years at Byrd, Mr. Maranto taught Civics and American History.

Without our capable “technicians” working diligent- ly, this could well be! We have, though, an excellent staff, working round the clock to insure the proper functioning of Byrd everyday. Umm! That sound was often heard as 1300 students sampled the food prepared by the talented cafeteria staff each day. A well-balanced, delicious meal was planned and served. The telephone ringing, typewriter clicking, and people checking in and out all make up the confused world of the office. This world, though, was kept under control by the daily battle of the well-armed secretaries. These warriors kept the records in order. AnotheT year of fine lunches kept studenta standing in line waiting expectantly to be served. DORIS ALEXANDER, left. and SHELBY DAVIS, rigkt, were the two cnfeterU cashien. Mr. Jim Farmer added his invaluable service during aftemoons and nights. Byrd contin ued to function smoothly under the guidance of this man after school hours. 208 Exceptional Fortitude During Year checked absentees, registered new atu dents, and checked student® in and out of school. On winter mornings, students were very appreciativc to enter a well heatcd classroom. This was made possible by the hard work of the school engineers. The daily cleaning of the classrooms and taking care of the electrical sys tems were also valuable services of this department. The three teacher’s aides were also included within this department. They performed various duties and tasks throughout the day. They performed duties varying from helping teachers with clerical work to keeping study halls. These first year aides work on a hectic schedule and are very valuable helps to the teachers.

Shakespeare’s MacBeth and Milton’s Paradise Lost stirred the imagination of Seniors studying English literature. Speech, which is available to all, instituted the art of good speech and the ability of logical argument to each student choosing this elective. Of course, grammar, spelling, and punctuation are continued throughout a student’s four year journey through High School English. All the training and experience gained in these years proved to make more cultured and well-rounded graduates.

There were several commercial courses offered, varying from typing to bookkeeping. Typing I and II classes taught stu- dents the fundamentals of the tough system, and with practice, students improved in accuracy and skill. The skill developed by those enrolled in the course is a sound investment for both the academic life and the business world. In shorthand I and II, future Bookkeeping students kept a set of books for a hypothetical business and prepared for its yearly audit. 212 secretaries learned to take dictation and to understand the basic workings of a modem business office. Those wishing to learn business procedures during morning classes and earn wages in the afternoon had an opportunity in the Cooperative Office Education Course. Bookkeeping, which is offered only to Juniors and Seniors, included the study of both the business cycle and the journal entry. The future looked brighter to the students with the background of data processing. Also, the Commercial world looked more promising to those with a solid background in Business Education.

Communication has become a neces- sity; while the world is spinning, people of all lands are talking, talking, talking! In the foreign language classrooms of Byrd, the communication gap is be- ing bridged. Latin, French, and Span- ish were offered in this department under the guidance of four stimulating teachers. Latin students concentrated on derivations and translations of Ro- man history and philosophy, while ob- serving the Latin influence in medi- cine, humanities, and literature. French and Spanish pupils dealt mainly Maud Cole and Susan Hurger put awty with pride the Spanish National Honor Society Charter after the rluh ' s initiation meeting for new memhers with a “B” average.

Greater enthusiasm was created through the various clubs, I e Cercle Francais, the Latin Forum, and the Pan American Forum. Each was spon- sored by the respective language teach- ers and broadened the student’s cul- tures and customs of France, Spain, and ancient Rome and Greece. As the world around us becomes smaller and smaller, these students are able to understand and cope with to- day’s problem through the use of tbe spoken word. Pattv Holland.

Mr. Robert F. Grambling headed the Orchestra and the stage Band this year. Besides playing during some of the assemblies, they performed in out-of- town competition and marched in parades. The choir was guided in beautiful singing by Mr. Charles Richey. They sang in the Christmas assembly and out-of-town choral festivals. The art section was headed by Mrs. Johnnie Jordan and Mrs. Ardienne Harbison. Art classes displayed pictures in the school cafeteria and in the library; they also painted key chains to be sold for the art scholarship fund. The main and audio-visual libraries were under the direction of Mrs. Lucille Tindol and Mrs. Jean Hunt respectively. In addition to thousands of well chosen books on subjects ranging from How to Raise Alaskan Seals for Fun and Profit to Philosophy of West- ern Man , the library supplies faculty and students with hundreds of film strips, records, films. and tapes on specialized fields. Taken as a whole, the fine arts de- partment awakens, arouses, and en- riches life for the Jackets. LUCILLE TINDOL— Mr. Tindol mtended Centennry.

Whether in the world, America, Louisiana, or Shreve- port, it is necessary to have a basic foundation of what is going on about us to form the pupil’s lives and pre- pare them for the future. American History covered the time from the discovery of our nation to the up to date topics. W orld History dealt with the span of history from ancient times to the present. Civics taught the function of the national. state, and local govemment while Economics was concerned with choosing vocations. as well as a careful study of the government. In W ' orld Geography different loca- tions and the importance of areas in the world were studied. The Social Science department of. fered a wide field of stimulating sub- jects from which to choose.

Quadratic equations. sets, formulas, and triangles were some of the terms which became familiar to the students in Byrd’s interesting Math classes. Mathematics taught each pupil to reason and think for himself as well as helped many in areas, which in cluded business, industry. and every- day problems. Basic knowledge of Arithmetic and its uses are the major concern of both Business Math and Ceneral Math. Business Math proved to be a great benefit to those who were interested in practical math whether for a career as a business man or as a housewife. Those taking General Mathematics received a good background for the basic principle of arithmetic and • broad view of courses so that each stu- dent could make qualified choices in specific interest areas. On the surface level, Geometry deals with theorems, Algebra I and II with equations and Advanced Math with ap- plied theory. But Geometry forces one to think logically; Algebra teaches the inevitable result of a given action, one in balance with the other; and Advanced Math develops the ability to make decisions. Whether one has pursued one math or five. he is a more competent contender in the world that is chang- ing its shape. Richard Pharris and Y ' vonne Bums looked on while Sonya Savell worked with a graph and protractor on the overhead projector in Algebra I. BEATRICE I. JAMES Vkm Mr .

If not teaching. her time ia oceupied with either hunting and fiahing or tranaplanting. Questions concerning many realms of the unknown are answered in the Science Dept. General Science, which has proven to be a stepping stone to the more detailed sciences, developed a broad scope of elementary scientific knowledge for each student. Biology unlocked many secrets of animal and plant life. In chemistry students pon dered the nature and composition of matter. Changes in matter and energy stimulated those probing the abstract reality of Physics. Students were encouraged by a complete and well stocked science department. A thorough understanding of these courses instilled valuable foundations for students in a genera- tion who, having reached the moon, is stretching for Mars. Biology students in Miss Connie Johnson’s class discovered the wonders of the hu. man cell as one assignment of using the microscope. CYRUS LARMOYEUX Whilr hr i« not g.rdrniog, fivhing, or tailing.

Mr. James Rife helped teach the teenagers of Byrd defensive techniques and good driving habits in a course open to anyone over fifteen. This leads the student toward being a better driver, reduces his insurance costs, and, perhaps, averts accidents. Students of Distributive Education spend half a day at Byrd and then depart for their jobs at various establishments. Mrs. Stravolemos and Mr. Conerly teach this course, helping these young people to be better trained and informed of their positions in the world of business. Darlene Lafitte, an energetic cashier at a local ten cent store, rang up another sale as part of her “on the job M training.

Both mechanical drawing and wood- working were offered in the Industrial Arts Department. Under the leadership of two creative teachers, students were instructed in such skills that prove useful in later life, whether one continues in an industrial career or not. Woodworking I and II taught stu- dents the art of carpentry while also allowing them to use their imagina- tions in the wooden objects they creat- ed with specialized machines. Mechani- cal drawing was an exacting course, demanding accuracy and precision in the blue prints which were drafted. The students were surrounded with rulers and compasses while each drew plans for buildings and houses for the future. Carpenters and engineers of the fu- ture received a sound background in these courses. Rioky Dowden and Rusty Brinkman work together to construct a bird house for a gift which also eamed a good grade. 227 HOME ECONOMICS Students Gained Useful Skills Students who took Home Economics gained the useful arts of graceful and economical homemaking. This department was divided into five practical courses. The girls in Home Economics I-III explored food preparation, child care, nutrition, home decoration, and sew- ing. In the fourth year, these young women of tomorrow, probed into the Karen Kelley and Beverly Remedies enjoyed making mouth watering banana cream piea. Cooking is a skill which can be utilized the rest of your life. Mrs. Norma Taylor gave a demonstration on how to operate small appliances in Horae Economics II class. advanced instruction of the nutritional aspects of food, selection of clothing, and the supervision of small children. Home and Family Living, the fifth course, was open to both boys and girls. These young people developed skills in designing and decorating a home as well as learning more about budgeting, dating, engagement, mar- riage, divorce, and housing .

Margaret Hill, Christy Hibbard, Karen Griswold, Nancy AJlen, Linda LeBlanc, Alfeia Wheel- er, and Velva Leah Crooks studied the creative and useful art of sewing in their Home Economic course. 228 GUSHER Welcomed New Students Duc to a Federal Court order con- cerning school integration, Byrd’s mem- bership was increased late in the year. On Tuesday, February 23, about 500 students from Valencia High School, along with many of their teachers, reported to Byrd for their first day of school. In an assembly similar to the opening day assembly, Mr. J. H. Dun- can asked an overflow crowd for cooperation and understanding during Valencia studcnts leamed of Bvrd’s tradi- tions in their orientation assembly. this time of transition. Because of the new enrollment, shacks had to be erected in the teacher’s parking lot. The new students quickly contribut- ed to Byrd, particularly in the areas of sports, where many went out for the track and baseball teams and music. During the future years, Byrd will benefit from these new talents, personalities, and abilities, its spirit reaching new heights. Nrwly arrived Mr. John Thomas Jr. gave helpful pointers to his sixth period Algebra I class. Remindine her class of their homework was only one of the duties of Mrs. Hattie Bonner. English IT teacher. Mrs. Marilvn Sims kept careful watch on her sixth period geometry class as she administered a test. 229 Working and learning with the other people in the CLASSES leads to essential discoveries about oneself and one ' s relationships to others. Pictured at a local library where almost every Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior has spent many afternoons and Saturdays in search of information and of knowledge are: Gale Guess, Pep Squad Vice-President; Glenn Fallin, GIISHER Advertisi ng Manager; Nancy Cream- er, Brush and Palatte President; Don Birklebach, Senior Class Vice-President; Carolyn Nelson, “Z Club President; Anne Pou t Senior Class Socretary; Herbie Rubenstein, Student Council Treasurer. Sharing ttuilh friends the joy and pain of ( ' rowing up—learning to ap - preciate that special beauty which lies within every person—developing per - sonal values and coming to respect the values of others—these are jusl a few of the many things discovered this year by each member of the CLASSES. The 1850 individuals u ho make up the classes are all very important people — for they alone have made Byrd what it is. They have taught , as uell as learned , vital lessons in human rela - tions; they have each , in their own way , made their contributions to Byrd High School. They have uncovered discoveries about others and about themselves that will not be soon for - gotten; their influence will be felt throughout the future—even beyond the time when a few names and laces have faded from our memories. Bnt one thing all 1850 wUl always have in common; they have shared that special magic called spirit and have truly discovered the meaning of Jacket Pride—a pride that Freshmen will soon acquire , that Sophomores and Juniors will come to develop fully , that Seniors wiU alu ays take with them into the uorld and the years beyond Byrd. 231 HERBY RUBENSTEIN — Trrasum CREY TOWNSEND— Parliamentarian 232 Those nominated for a class office were: Mike Swinney, Mike Williams, Julia Minor, Betty Shields, and Ann Thorne-Thomaen. Scniors 1970—They represented the first and only class of students to graduate from Byrd under the freedom of choice plan. Although it was one of the smallest classes to have graduated frotn Byrd, it was composed solely of those who requested to come to C.E. Byrd. The 1969-1970 school year was highlighted by many things—the opening assembly in September, a 14-13 victory over the Minden Crimson Tide in football. election of Senior Favorites, the capture of the Airline Tournament Consolation Trophy, the final Senior assembly, and, of course, Graduation. “Come on people, now, smile on your brother. Everybody get together—try to love one another right now.” These are words from a song chosen by the Senior Class of 1970 to represent their emotions of the past years. as well as those of the future. For most Seniors, 1970 was the culmination of three glorious years at C.E. Bvrd. It marked the end of wearing the purple and gold onto the football field; it marked the end of shouting “V-I-C-T-0-R- when the Senior Battle Cry is called for; it marked the end of early morning dough- nut sales for various organizations; it marked the end of bringing home report cards each six weeks; it marked the end of singing the Alma Mater in assemblies; it marked the end of dancing to “We Are Jackets” in the bleachers; it marked the end of counting the days until Graduation; it marked the end of waiting for the arrival of the 1970 GUSHER; it marked the end of twelve years of experiences never to be forgotten. But yet, 1970 did not mark the end—it only marked the beginning ...

Worthwhile Projects On the last assembly of the football season, Jimmy Trichel presented the Junior class with the sparkplug. The sparkplug had represented spirit during the whole season and had been seen many times at the top of the “spirit ladder.” Betsy Vogel and Sherry Simon represented their class and received it. “April in Paris” was the theme of the Junior Prom of 1970. To raise money for the prom, the juniors col- lected coat hangers and sold them to Representing the 1970 Junior Class were Chuck Knight, President; Bill McCutchen, Vice President; Noel Benoit, Secretary; Gay Stacy, Treasurer; Texas Tucker, Parliamentarian. dUfttDR uion spapkplug for the patriotism in the aysembly.

Elected as officers for the 1970 Sophomore Class were Leon Thompson, Sergeant at Arms; Jan Middleton, Treasurer; Delma Mason, Secretary; Gty Brooke, Parliamentarian; Jerry Peyton, Vice President; and Randy Robertson, President. Sophomore girls contributed their enthusi- asm, helping make the day a success. Being nominated for a class office is a great honor in itself. The sophomore nominees were Cathy Shriver, Donna Evans, Mac Risinger, Pat Bone, Cece Sartori, and Jeff Eskridge. 292 laraest ctass Terry Bryan, Chuck Fickard, and Pat McWilliams added finishing touch s to the colorful bulletin board in Mr. Tony StickeU’s geometry class. Making up the largest class in Byrd, the Sophomores, representing four jun- ior high schools, discovered the many opportunities for self-advancement through the various clubs and athletic organizations of Byrd. For the first time, a Freshman and Sophomore pep club, the Purple Jackets, was formed. Dressed in white skirts with a purple vest over their white blouses, these girls aided the Stingerettes and cheerleaders in prov- ing that “Jacket Spirit ain’t never gonna die!” For their fine spirit, the Sophomores were awarded the Spirit Stick at the last football assembly. The ROTC organized, for the first time, a Freshman and Sophomore Girls Aux- iliary. These girls in the blue uniforms helped with the clerical work of the Military Unit. Seven Sophomores added their ability to the undefeated tennis team, and seven boys participated in golf. Six Sophomores lettered in football, and one lettered in basketball: this is one of the highest honors for the Sophomore class. In the past only a small number of Sophomores have let- tered. and this large number is a testi- mony to the quality of leadership pos- sessed by this class. In Miss Jeannine Ponder ' s biology class, Roy Gentry and Wesley Boyett learned to recognize different organisms through lab- oratoiy observations using microscopes.

The principles of advertising have made possible the school paper and yearbook, baskethall programs (sponsored by the “Z Club) ( and Inter act’s literary magazine, not to mention the high standard of living America enjoys.

Advertising —com m unication be - tween buyer and seller—is essential to our counlry s free enterprise system. It creates the competition so largely responsible for America ' s high stand- ard of living and , in so doing , touches almost all phases of everyday life. Advertising also keeps the public auare of neu advances and improve - menls in all fields. Through this contact u ith advertising and advertisers , Byrd students have discovered much about the demands of our commercial so • ciety.

At the end of the small paperback was a section con- taining advertisements for such things as saddles and horseshoes, as well as cotton and cattle. Some of these friends who advertised with the GUSHER in 1911 still advertise in 1970. Of course, there have been changes. Some products have altered their form. and others no longer exist, as industry has slowly replaced agriculture as the main occupation of society. The firm that ad- vertised wagons in 1911 sells shiny new automobiles in 1970. Names have also changed. In some cases one man’s business has been transformed into a partnership. Progress has slowly brought all this about. but one fact has remained unchanged. The patronage of friends over the years has enabled the GUSHER to grow from a booklet of eight-five pages to a yearbook over an inch and a half thick. Texas Street, even in 1911, was a main artery of transportation. It w as the heart of a young, but growing, downtown area. mm 1970 tarm SHREVIPOIT Downtown and 740 Azalaa Drive 1911 ffle Quality Store •RRfi Dependable Merchandise in all Departraents inrtr Juuil Nearns Diy Goods Co.

Shreveport High School stood proudly in 1911. Within its wells m en academic achievement and the Gusher was bofn. any individuals experienced valuable lessons in life as well as gained In 1926 New School Gained NEW FRIENDS It was the time of the Roaring Twenties; girls wore bobbed hair, the Charleston was the rage, and cokes sold for a nickle. Byrd High School opened its doors in 1926, and with the change of faculty and students from old Shreveport High, the GUSHER was brought to the new school, continuing its tradition and glory. When first opened. Byrd was so far out in the country that parents were afraid for their children to travel such a great distance. But as the city grew to meet Byrd, so did the number of students and the size of the GUSHER. In 1926, the first school year, the annual had grown to a hardback book with the same dimensions of the 1970 GUSHER, but w ' ith only half the number of pages. Sev- eral new patrons had joined the 1926 advertising sectiorx along with the businesses which had advertised since 1911. Their generosity was an investment in the future of both a school and a city with unlimited potential. In 1926 Milam Street reflected the qrowth of our city. The automobile wes now here to stay. 1970 1926 STRENGTII SECURITY SERVICE The Oldest National Bank in Loui� iana Wishes to emphasize the old and true saving of Benjamin Franklin: ‘7 tve do not learn to save, all else tvill be of little value FIRST NATIONAL BANK FASHION HEADQUARTERS FOR THE CAMPUS CROWD Downtown - Miiam at McNeil Pierremont Mall - Line Ave. at Azalea New York Furniture NEW YORK FURNITURE CO.

Change has pervaded the atmosphere around us. With all the new ideas and innovations, Byrd has remained for forty-five years the essence of high school life. The sense of pride, de- sire, and determination which has floated through these halls was just as prevalent in 1970 as it was in the twenties. Any time span of over forty years has un- doubtedly witnessed both triumphs and defeats, but nowhere else has a stronger or more consistent spirit of devotion been found. The walls of the school them- selves have symbolized the past as well as the future, for they have told a continuing story of accomplishment in all fields of endeavor. In scholastics, athletics, and extra-curricular activities the story will never be equalled. The GUSHER has always been a voice of Byrd’s success, and advertising, the barkbone of any yearbook, has made this possible. Through ads our businesses have shown their expansion, as it paralleled the growth of our city. With their support Byrd High School has been blessed throughout the years. This blessing will continue for many years to come, for the loyalty of our advertisers has proven true and unfailing. SHEEVEPOET BANE 5 TROST CO.
