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
