ORIENTATION Filled With the ringing of the 8:10 bell, Bvrd students rushed into the auditorium to see the skit performed by the Student Coun- cil. The skit pictured all aspects of student life at Byrd. Deciding upon which organizations to join was made much easier after the students saw the skit. Ending the assembly with ' We Are the Jack- ets,” the Pep Squad and band fdled the new Byrdites with spirit which would never leave them as long as they lived. The band, directed bv Mr. Shields, en- tertained the students w ith their livelv music. Rehearsing the skit for Orientation Dav, Joe Dover, Steve Culpepper, and Nyle Politz discussed their parts. In answer to Have ya got the spir- it?’’ members of the stage crew sang and danced to ' We Are the Jackets.” With the blowing of the majorette’s whistle and the beating of the drums, the Byrd High Pep Squad marcht‘d down the aisles of the auditorium. 20
