GO WEST DAY Climaxed Football Season Go West Day, the annual spirit- raising event for the last hattle of the football season, sparked the Byrdites to go on to the state playoffs bv defeating the Fair Park Indians in the last twenty-three sec- onds. Go West Dav, which began many years ago when Fair Park was the only school west of Byrd in Shreveport, started ,with a senior march from the youth center up Gladstone to the school. Tradition- ally students wore western attire and ate lunch in the cafeterm which was decorated as a western town. Costume awards went to Mr. Ed- ward Allen, Mrs. Katherine Borden, Mike Stone, and Terrv Langford. The very successful day was planned by Anne Butcher and Con- nie Hancock. Tm ihe toughest homhre around here,” said Paul Massey as the cheer- leaders acted out their skit during the Go West Day assemhly. E rie Johnson pulled a fast one on the Fair Park Indians. A hig part in the tradition of Go West Day is this hanner which is hung every year from the roof of the gvm.
