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
