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.
