THROUGH THE YEARS TO YOU It is only in the dassrooms that onr sees the real potential of a Byrd pupil. Eduealion is the key foundation in life and at Byrd it is the major goal for all. The knowledge that each Jaeket ae- quires at Bvrd can take him to the top once he enters the outside world. Byrd has gained a repulation of having an ex- cellent academie reeord through the years. It has produced National Merit Finalists and Semi-Fi- nalists. Its students have reeeived many other ae- ademic awards through the years and have brought recognition to their school.
