BYRD HIGH SCHOOL SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA EDITOR.Mary McKee ASSOCIATE EDITOR.George Kurz BUSINESS MANAGER.Barbara Clinkscales ADVERTISING MANAGER .Laurie Storer One of Byrd’s oldest traditions is the GUSHER. As the twentieth century dawned, the yearbook of Shreveport High School was born. It was thought unusual that the name GUSHER was given to the high school annual, but with oil fields only a few miles away the name seemed very appropriate. Also, and more important to this first staff, the name came from the words of Longfellow speaking of “the humbler poets.” “Whose songs gushed from his heart, As show¬ ers from the clouds of summer, Or tears from the eyelids start.” That first staff wished for the staffs of the coming years success. The GUSHER has been published each year since 1912, except a few years during the Depression and World War II. We hope that each year the book may increase in quality, and that each Byrd student, especially the 1973 Seniors, may realize that its value is undeterminable. For years from now, when we try to remember the years of high school, the GUSHER will provide the link to the past. 2 GUSHER TABLE OF CONTENTS Activities.16 Organizations.42 Athletics.98 Military.158 Music.178 Faculty ...192 Honors.226 Classes.250 Advertising.337 Dr. B. L. Shaw welcomed Mary Anne Arnold, David Hunsicker, Linda Wingfield, and Larry Wynns to the annual Homecoming Dance. Mrs. Maredia Bowdon proved her true (acket spirit by wearing her purple dress each game day. 4 GUSHER Remembering 1973 . . . In the pregame activities before every game, the Pep Squad performed the “J as they waited for the football team to come onto the field. As a “Z” Club service project, Mary Fritze, Jean Smith, and Sally Sartor sold handpainted Christmas cards made by Korean boys to Mrs. C.W. Thurmon. When remembering 1973, the times that seem insignificant now will one day be of great value. Together, these seemingly unimportant times amount to the major events which occupy our thoughts at the present. The success of these major events, however, is dependent upon each and every action contributed by the many individuals at Byrd. A countless number of stu¬ dents devoted many hours of summer practice and work in preparing for school activities. Certainly every Jacket shares the memories of lockers that stick and playing chicken in the parking lot after school. The eternal Jacket spirit is constantly revealed through huge spirit sticks, battle cries, spirit tags on game days, and the rooty-toot-toot cheer. School days sel¬ dom go by without these moments: embarrassing times, coming to school without your homework, and getting that fifth tardy slip. These times will always be brought to mind as 1973 is recalled. In “Westlake Story,” Adele “Maria” Haywood swung onto stage as Roxanne “Tony” Lea awaited her arrival. 5 A Year For Expanding Interests . . . Different facets of Byrd offer extra¬ curricular programs for students who wish to further their education beyond classroom work. Junior Achievement and the Centenary-Audit program vary the subject matter for the stu¬ dents. Training for future careers may be obtained at the Caddo Career Cen¬ ter where practical skills are learned. Auto mechanics and commercial art are among the courses offered there. Audio visual aids and reference mate¬ rials in the school library are helpful to students when research is required. Teachers use actual photographs and apply personal experiences in class¬ room instruction to further expand the students’ interest. Athletics and organ¬ izations provide other means of partic¬ ipation. Through the Dope Stop Pro¬ gram. Byrd students are given the opportunity to assist in drug abuse control. The Supplementary Learning Center is available for the first time. Here the students learn to budget their time wisely while their interests are expanded. As a part of the Home Economics program. Martha Bowdon. Linda Smart. Karol Harvard, and Andrea Provenza redecorated Mrs. Elizabeth Dady’s room. Miss Margaret Whelan showed Mimi O’Brien the materials she gathered while studying in France. 6 GUSHER Press Richie, David Holloway, Dennis Hayes, and Sabrina Boone spent their leisure time reading magazines in the Learning Center. Cindy Shaffer. Barbara Bane, Brian Baker, and Kathy Thurmon took part in the Independent Audit Program at Centenary. 7 Ginger Bosko, Peggy McCreight, Alice Guin, and Suzanne Dozier prepared the Boutique for the Pep Squad carnival held on September 19. Looking over pictures and typing copy for the Homecoming issue of the HIGH LIFE were Donna Middlebrooks, Valerie Bray, and Chip Kimball. 8 GUSHER A Year Of Working Together Mike Jones and Robert Brown led the football team through the hoop as the Pep Squad released their balloons before the Jesuit game. Danny Webb, Steve Palmerton, David Hunsicker, and Tom Perry repainted the teachers’ parking lot to earn Key Club hours. Many times people go out by them¬ selves and do what they call “doing their own thing.” At times one may feel the need to go out on his own; however, there is much to learn through sharing and working with oth¬ ers. At Byrd, students are given many opportunities to broaden their per¬ spective by listening to other ideas and expressing their own opinions. By working together, students learn com- patability, leadership, and, through this cooperation, they come to a better understanding of their surroundings. Students are given the chance to help others through service clubs and com¬ munity projects. The Student Council coordinates relations between the fac¬ ulty and the students and encourages involvement of all students. Each organization contributes its share of work. This combined effort makes Byrd truly an outstanding school. At a Student Council meeting, representatives lis¬ tened as Chuck Edwards called the meeting to order. 9 A Year Of Entering Competition . . . Competition is a dominant and essential part of Byrd. It is in the mind of every Jacket as he encounters oppo¬ sition in sports and activities as well as in every day life. Byrd students are known for their good sportsmanship whether competition results in victory or defeat. Byrd keeps its good standing throughout the city with an excellent record in debate, ROTC, music, sports, and cheerleading. Experience gained through competition in many areas helps to build a strong foundation upon which the future rests. With competition students not only increase their skills but also work to uphold the fine reputation of Byrd. Good sportsmanship and the integrity of the students make members of the com¬ munity respect and admire the Jackets and their never-dying spirit. j n t e spr i n g Charles McCoy competed with many other area high schools in the 440-relay at the Bossier Track Tournament. A week of hard work and competition at Sam Houston proved worthwhile when the cheerleaders won the Spark Plug. During their P.E. classes students engaged in intramural foot¬ ball to perfect their skills. 10 GUSHER Karen McCarter and Carol Weyman represented Byrd by competing in many tennis tournaments. A part of the ROTC routine was a periodic inspection. Conditioning during the summer months paid off when Byrd defeated lesuit 29-0. Knowledge gained during the first semester in Mr. Harkness’ first period class was tested as mid-term examinations were given. 12 GUSHER A Year Of Striving For Perfection . . . Basketball team members. Doug Strong, Alvin Gardner, and Doug Lilley per¬ fected their goal shots at daily afternoon practice. C. E. Byrd is known for its excellent achievements in every facet of school life. Retaining this reputation is no easy task, but Byrd students continu¬ ally strive to uphold it. Often the long hours of work go unappreciated, yet Jackets will settle for nothing but the best. Though such high goals can often bring about disappointments, they usually bring much honor and pride to the school. These high stand¬ ards set by the students help to make and keep Byrd the best. Outstanding students have brought national recog¬ nition to the school by earning schol¬ arships through the National Merit Program. Talents of Byrd students are recognized when athletes are chosen for all-state teams. Members of the debate team, attending regional tour¬ naments, traditionally win sweep- stakes trophies. Byrd students find that through dedication and hard work, their goals can be reached and perfection attained. Mr. Roosevelt Sheilds directed the band members as they per¬ formed a special number for the student body at the Westlake assembly. 13 . . . This Is Byrd Forever What will be remembered most about one’s years at Byrd? To say that every student will reflect upon the same memories is difficult, yet there is no doubt that many meaningful thoughts will remain in the hearts of Byrd’s students as time passes and youth ages. The most exciting times will probably come to mind — Gator Hunt Week, student elections, assem¬ blies, and graduation. But with these events comes the remembrance of the many challenging hours of work nec¬ essary for their success. Byrd will be remembered not merely as a building, but as a time of exchanging hellos with friends in the halls, expressing talents through activities and organiza¬ tions, competing in athletics, and striv¬ ing for perfection, knowledge, and a greater understanding of life. This is Byrd forever. Commencement exercises climaxed not only a memorable senior year but also many years of growing and learning. 14 GUSHER Leading the Jackets in Spirit, the Cheerleaders played an important role as Byrd “kept on truckin’.” “Years from now we will recall the memories of these hallowed halls and the spirit that made Byrd the school on top.” Dr. B. L. Shaw addressed the student body during each assembly. 15 Representing many varied activities were. Front Row: Brian Homza, Interact President; Linda Sentell, “Z” Club President; Jordan Edwards. Student Council President; Ginger Bosko, GUSHER. Second Row: Valerie Bray. HIGH LIFE Co-Editor; George Kurz, GUSHER Associate Editor. 16 GUSHER ACTIVITIES Activities served as a vital part of Byrd. Many students participated in such traditional activities as Home¬ coming and Go West Day. Seniors and Juniors were given the opportunity to participate in the new minicourse activities. Through activities students were given an opportunity to express their feelings and work in an area of interest to them. Working in coopera¬ tion with the scholastic program, these activities served to develop a more well-rounded person, better adapted to his surroundings. Activities 17 ORIENTATION And BACK-TO-SCHOOL Starting off this school year was the traditional Orientation Day assembly. The many opportunities and activities offered at Byrd were presented in the “Gash” skit. As usual the Jackets proved they were filled with spirit by joining in with the cheers led by the cheerleaders and Pep Squad. Students attending Byrd for the first time were assisted by guides in finding their classes. Following the first six weeks grad¬ ing period, parents attended a back-to- school night which provided them with the opportunity to meet and visit with teachers. The evening began with an assembly during which a film about a day in the school life of a Byrd student was shown. Ending the orientation assembly, everyone joined in with the band as they played “We Are Jackets.” Keeping with Byrd tradition the Stingerettes marched into the auditorium on Orientation Day. Ginger Bosko and Sydney Burch showed Allen Morehead where to find a class on the first day of school. 18 GUSHER Introduced Jacket Spirit Parents and teachers filled the front hall before the opening assembly on parents night, November 6. Operating on Admiral Byrd. Jeff Marvin. Brian Baker, and Brian Homza pres¬ ented the Orientation Day skit which previewed activities at Byrd. Activities 19 CARNIVAL and PEEP SHOW The Pep Squad held its annual fund raising Carnival and Peep Show on September 19. Much time and effort went into the activities to make it a success and raise money for use by the Pep Squad. A variety of booths attracted students and children alike to the Carnival to participate in activities such as the Pie Throw, Dart Throw, and the Candle Squirt. Goods were col¬ lected and sold at the White Ele¬ phant Sale and handmade crafts were sold at the Boutique Shop, which was awarded the prize for the best decorated booth. TWo new booths, the Make-Up booth and the Sandwich booth, were added to the variety of activities. Following the Carnival was the Peep Show with the football players and coaches as contestants. Drum Corps members dressed the contestants, while the junior members designed the scen¬ ery. The skit writers were elected by the Pep Squad and the skit was entitled “The Jacket Game?” Cynthia Glass and Susan Despot rushed to set up the Pie Throw booth for the Carnival. Roxanne Lea resisted arrest from a policeman as he and Shirley Grady summoned her to jail. Old faces took on many new looks at the Make-Up booth. 20 GUSHER Were Big “Fun-Raisers” Jacklorettes David Terry, Mike Jones, and Chris Ferguson did their best to win a date and entertain the audience. The Pep Squad officers lead the Stingerettes into the auditorium to watch the peep show entitled, “The Jacket Game.” Activities 21 21-6 Victory Over Carroll On October 13, Byrd celebrated one of the biggest events of the year — Homecoming. Beginning the assembly, Dr. B. L. Shaw addressed the student body, followed by the presentation of the 1972 Homecoming Court. A skit, entitled “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” was given by the National Honor Soci¬ ety. Later, a tea, held by the Student Council in the Home Economics Department, was given for the return¬ ing graduates and Homecoming Court. Prior to the game, members of the Homecoming Court were escorted onto the field. After the presentation of the court, spectators were thrilled as Byrd overpowered Carroll 21 to 6. After the game, the Varsity Club spon¬ sored a Homecoming dance at the South Central YMCA, featuring the Gold Rush. The dance climaxed a day to be remembered by every Jacket. Elected as the 1972 Homecoming Cheerleaders were Doris Samuels, Evelyn Taylor, Debra Davis, and Penne Booras. Following the victorious Homecoming game Byrd students attended the dance sponsored by the Varsity Club. 22 GUSHER Preceded HOMECOMING Dance Those attending the dance enjoyed the music by the Gold Rush. Stingerettes enthusiastically displayed their spirit as they led the student body in the traditional Sting ’Em yell. National Honor Society members played roles of the Harrison family, who were honored in the skit. Activities 23 Queen Kip King And Sweetheart Adele Queen KIP KING Escort MR. PHILLIP E.

On this special day, when Byrd played Fair Park, all the tradi¬ tional Byrdites went to school in their western attire. Throughout the day there were many exciting events, including the Go West Day assembly and the large cake made by the Junior Pep Squad for the senior Stingerettes. During the three lunch periods, Geor- geanne Wilcox, Polly Pickard, and Carlene Jennings entertained the stu¬ dent body with music. At 2:30, stu¬ dents were aroused when they heard the beating of drums as the Pep Squad marched around the halls to lead all the students to a pep rally in front of the school. The day ended with a 23- 22 Byrd victory over Fair Park. Victory Over Fair Park Performed in the skit danced to “We Are Jackets at the close of the assembly. 26 GUSHER Climaxed GO WEST DAY During the assembly, a large cake made by the Junior Pep tory 23-22 over Fair P ar Squad, was presented to the senior Stingerettes. During the Fair Park assembly, students were entertained by the chicken brothers, with the head rooster, Brian Homza. Activities 27 “Bessie” Made Debut Pep rallies encouraged and boosted team spirit throughout the halls of Byrd during the 1972 football season. After the traditional opening of each pep rally, a variety of skits were pres¬ ented to the student body by the cheerleaders and others assisting them. Dr. Shaw recognized outstand¬ ing students during several pep rallies. Cheers directed by the cheerleaders climaxed these skits involving student participation. The awarding of the coveted spirit stick highlighted each pep rally. The Byrd Band played pop¬ ular songs creating a spirited atmos¬ phere in the assemblies. The student body joined together to sing “We are the Jackets” to end each pep rally. Beginning the Airline Pep Rally, the nifty-fifty gang bunny-hopped across the stage. Members of the Byrd Stingerettes actively participated in each pep rally. The cheerleaders led the student body in Go Jackets at the Jesuit Pep Rally. Bessie , the Byrd Jersey, let out a moo as she danced her way across the stage in the B.T.W. Pep Rally. 28 GUSHER At PEP RALLIES “Miss Sanders, alias Marshall Jones, received a pie in the face from Ginny King proving that the Jackets Have that Spirit.

At the first assembly, Mr. Nor¬ man Roy spoke to the student body about opportunities offered in Junior Achievement. In November, Mr. Jack Brown, an ex-convict and drug addict, spoke of his experiences in prison and of the dangers of drugs. Entertaining the students with modern music, the Grambling Stage Band and jazz band, “Speed Limit 25,” played at a special assembly. Before Christmas vacation, the Notations from Broadmoor Baptist Church sang and played the bells at the Christmas chapel before school.

Activities 33 MINI-COURSES Were Introduced Mini-courses were offered for the first time at Byrd to broaden the scope of regular studies. Covering everything from discussions of contemporary America to crafts and guitar lessons, Mini-Courses were taught primarily by outside speakers who were skilled in their fields. A professional photogra¬ pher discussed photography techni¬ ques, local newscasters discussed news broadcasting, and professors from Centenary took a look at Futurol¬ ogy through several contemporary novels. Crafts such as macrame, needle¬ point, and pottery were taught, and students produced interesting handi¬ crafts. A course on black literature was offered, as well as many others. The mini-course program owed its organization and success to the dedi¬ cated work of Miss Margaret Whelan. Mr. Tom Ware showed students interested in macrame how to make their own purses and belts. Penne Booras helped Hank Rhodes sign up for the shooting and gun care course while other senior boys eagerly waited in line. Mrs. Sylvia Gallagher explained the several pot- making techniques, including the coil method, as a part of the Making Your Way with Clay course. 34 GUSHER To Supplement Regular Studies Students taking the Futurology course heard Dr. Lee Morgan discuss FUTURE SHOCK.

Schools were closed that Monday because the streets were iced over, tree limbs were broken from the weight of the ice, and power lines came down causing power failure, the Broadmoor, Spring Lake, and South Highlands areas were without electric¬ ity for up to three days. A giant tree limb, over-burdened by the ice, crashed into the bedroom of Greg Wicks, a Byrd student. A few days later Shreveport received snow. Again, schools were closed because of iced-over streets. Everyone enjoyed building snowmen, having snowball fights, and sledding. Bewildered by the incident. Greg Wicks looked at the tree in his bedroom. School was closed January 11 due to several inches of snow.

GUSHER; Penne Booras, Stingerettes Majorette. 38 GUSHER _ ORGANIZATIONS BYRD ON TRUCKING The many-faceted program of organizations at Byrd provided for a wide range of interests. Students developed their character while accepting and carrying out responsi¬ bilities in various organizations. Besides teaching valuable lessons in working with others, these organiza¬ tions taught the necessity of working for the good of the group. Through the process of working with others, a sense of pride in a job completed to the best of one ' s ability was devel¬ oped, helping to prepare the individ¬ ual for his role in the community. The enthusiastic student expanded his views on life while becoming a more dependable and trustworthy individ¬ ual. Organizations 39 LE CERCLE FRANQAIS Studied Le Cercle Francais, the French club at Byrd, was designed to teach French students about the people and customs of France. The club helped students relate their study of the French lan¬ guage to its practical use among a for¬ eign people. At the first meeting of Le Cercle Francais, the members were shown slides of historical and interesting places in France. The club had a Christmas party at the home of Miss Margaret Whelan, club sponsor, where they played French games and went Christmas caroling in the neighbor¬ hood.

Countless hours of practice were spent in preparation for cheerleading camp at Sam Houston State Cheerleading School. Carrying on Byrd tradition the cheerleaders brought home “The Spark Plug, the top award in camp, along with many superior ribbons and the spirit stick. Following camp, ban¬ ners were completed and skits were prepared for the football season to come. Changing to a ten-girl squad was a big step, but the move was proved successful by the cheerleaders ability to bring the student body to a peak of spirit. In addition to humorous skits, contests and the spirit stick promoted enthusiasm throughout the City of Byrd. This vitality inspired by the cheerleaders was reflected in a year of success not only in athletics, but in every activity at Byrd.

Organizations 45 DOPE STOP Volunteers Taught Dope Stop, it its second year of existence, increased in size, totaling more than one hundred fifty students. Their goal was to inform younger stu¬ dents, from fourth through eighth grades, of the dangers of drugs and drug abuse. Students took time off from their busy schedules to attend training sessions and go monthly to the surrounding schools to teach. Dope Stop’s main concern was the “why’s” of taking drugs rather than the cures of drug abuse. Other sub¬ jects of the Dope Stop presentations were the evils of advertising and its effects on drug abuse. This valuable program was sponsored by CODAC.

It is also a part of life at Byrd. Whether it be the melody of the choir, the beat of the band, or the har¬ mony of the orchestra, music is a truly important aspect of Byrd. The Band added greatly to the excitement and spirit at pep rallies, and boosted enthusiasm during the football season. For special assemblies, the choir per¬ formed for the enjoyment of the stu¬ dents and faculty. The orchestra mem¬ bers served as members of the Shreve¬ port Youth Symphony. Through these music activities students had the opportunity to express their joys and thoughts of Byrd to others. Music 177 CONCERT CHOIR Presented The 1972-73 Concert Choir partici¬ pated in many worthwhile activites, providing enjoyment and recreation for its members. Under the direction of Mr. James L.

These educators worked to pass their learning on and inspire their students to continue in the quest for knowledge. By educating students , teachers helped develop stu¬ dents’ personalities and mold their characters. This development aided the student in finding himself and his role in life. The offering of new courses such as Psychology and Soci¬ ology helped make this development possible. As each class progressed , teachers were given new challenges to conquer as they continued the prog¬ ress of education. Faculty 191 DR. SHAW Originated Mini-Courses Dr. B. L. Shaw, as the principal of Byrd High School, gave much of his time and effort toward improving the students of Byrd and the school itself. He supervised Byrd’s athletic, aca¬ demic, and extracurricular programs, taking an active part in and possessing a genuine interest in each phase. Dr. Shaw represented Byrd at various meetings and conventions throughout the year. He originated the idea of having mini-courses to supplement students’ regular studies, and passed a more lenient dress code. Dr. Shaw served as a symbol of encouragement and accomplishment to all with whom he came in contact. Dr. Shaw introduced a guest speaker. Jack Brown, to the faculty and student body at a special assembly. DR. B. L.

The Byrd High School Help-a-Stu- dent program was a volunteer pro¬ gram sponsored by the Volunteer Service Bureau of Shreveport to enrich students ' experiences at Byrd. Two basic elements making the tutor¬ ing program a success were: students with a desire to improve their stand¬ ings and volunteers to provide the help that students and teachers requested. It provided community vol¬ unteers to cover the following areas: individual tutoring sessions, classroom assistants, and classroom enrichment opportunities. Special classroom assistants included an architect to assist the mechanical drawing teacher and a candidate for the school board to add spark to two civics classes in current events. Help-a-Student was administered in 1972-73 by Mrs. Pam Neff who directed about twenty-five volunteers through the year.

This devotion has not gone unnoticed by other students at Byrd, nor by this yearbook. Throughout the Senior Section, those seniors who held major offices were recognized for their leadership. So that opportunities to lead were equally available to all, seniors were allowed to hold only one major office and one minor office or three minor offices. As in previous years at Byrd, a spe¬ cial privilege was granted to the Sen¬ ior Class of 1973. Seniors were allowed to hold class meetings during class hours. On January 4, the first senior class meeting was held to dis¬ cuss graduation plans and nominate by popular vote six girls and six boys for Senior Favorites. The class met again on February 15 to vote for Sen¬ ior Favorites from ballots drawn up from the nominations. The results of this election were withheld until Feb¬ ruary 16, when a special assembly was presented by the seniors on the GUSHER Staff. At this time, a skit entitled “Nursery Rhyme Time” was presented, and the names of the twelve Senior Favorites were revealed. Each favorite was required to perform a humorous stunt before the student body and carry a sign stating “I Am A Fairy” throughout the day. The GUSHER proudly recognized these honored twelve, who appear in order of the number of votes received. To be nominated for Senior Favorite is a distinction in itself.

Byrd ' s students created and maintained a high reputation for their school through devotion to studies and involvement in extra-curricular activi¬ ties. They showed their friendliness as they welcomed new students and made new acquaintances. But the Byr- dites also put their energies to work in the various academic fields as they progressed in classes. These students have continued to maintain Byrd ' s high scholastic standing and showed others their enthusiasm and desire to excel. It was the classes, whether in competition for the spirit stick or engaged in study, that made Byrd worth remembering. Classes 251 TELEPHONE STUDENTS Received Filled with the same spirit and ambition that belongs to all Byrd stu¬ dents, the Telephone Students became more a part of Byrd than ever before. This year, the high school students at Caddo School for Exceptional Chil¬ dren participated in Miss Ann McWilliams’ Biology class with the aid of a special device provided by the telephone company. The students were able to come to Byrd more fre¬ quently this year and they were vis¬ ited several times by students regu¬ larly attending Byrd. The group attended the Go West Day assembly and were awarded the Spirit Stick for the enthusiasm and courage they have displayed. At Christmas, Miss McWilliams’ second period Biology class gave the Telephone Students a “Biology Hot-Line” to show their friendship and admiration for the group. Rhonda Shoemake, John Robbins, and Billy Casten made fall centerpieces in their art class. Jackie Phillips, Addie Hudson, and Rhonda Shoemake listened by telephone as Miss Ann McWilliams explained a chapter in Biology. 252 GUSHER Spirit Stick On Go West Day Jackie Phillips John Robbins Classes 253 SENIOR Class Officers Presided Byrd Seniors will long remember 1973 as a very special year. They will recall the classes, clubs, and athletic competition, to which they devoted many hours and received not only enjoyment, but many memories as well. Many seniors won awards in scholastic and athletic fields and were recognized for their leadership and skills. Seniors will best be remem¬ bered for their spirit which was reflected in banners, spirit sticks, and honors. Just as a senior is recognized by his senior ring, and cap and gown, the Class of 1973 has chosen the fol¬ lowing to represent them in many future years.

Every day it affects our activities, actions, and purchases. Advertising makes us aware of the world, showing us the good as well as the bad. It supports campaigns and entertainment, making them possible. Advertising plays an important role in the making of the yearbook as well. By selling ads to various firms throughout the Shreveport area, the advertising staff helps to offset the cost of printing and publishing the yearbook.

The whole world was singing And everything was beautiful. I learned there is world of grays Even in the dead of night. But I cried too Sometimes. There were so many who didn’t understand. And I have some wounds That I’ll never talk about. Times? Oh, I had some times. I grew rich on laughter. I felt the touch of friendship And found the beauty 394 GUSHER Of an out-stretched hand. I learned that I was human And alive. I grew. Reaching, searching, moving, Continually moving Sometimes with deliberate direction, Sometimes in search of an unknown, I turned corners and things changed; Like wrinkles changing into dimples And night times changing into day. And I changed too. I’m not a child anymore. I learned a lot from crowded Rooms and hallways About people And myself I still don’t know all the answers, I guess I never will, But life isn’t built on answers. It’s the questions that make you grow. Now the year is over And I leave On my way away Or toward I suppose it was a glad adventure However quickly gone. — Author Unknown
