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

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
