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
