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
