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

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
