Since the greatest portion of activity at school occurs in the classroom, the most important duties are delegated to the student, whose objective is to learn, and to the faculty, whose objective is to teach. Through various offices which Byrd students hold, their responsibili¬ ties increase, as does their influence over the rest of the school. Through wise use of influence, whether over a large organization or over only a small group, Byrd students are united by working together for common goals. Dr. Rose Fitzgerald and Mrs. Norma Darr dis¬ cussed techniques in teaching reading material. Paul Defatta used the intercom system each morning to tell students and faculty needed information. Lynn Skipworth presented Captain Shreve’s Phillip Harder a trophy for humorous interpretation at the tour¬ nament hosted by the Byrd Speech Department. 6 GUSHER Mrs. Mary Ann Minors concern in her direction of her stu¬ dents exemplified the dedication of Byrd’s faculty. Portraying Haughton cheerleaders were Thomas Woodley, Wayne Homza, Henry Hunsicker. Alan Mason. Mike Sealey. and Tracy Bor¬ den. Wayne Homza as Jacketman brightened many assem¬ blies and boosted Byrd spirit. BYRD —50 Years 7 Jacket Pride Honored Memories of Byrd Byrd High School is fifty years old. Constructed in 1925 it has stood through three wars and the Great Depression, has survived social changes in Shreveport, and has pre¬ pared countless young people to live in their individual times and circum¬ stances. Upon looking at Byrd today, one sees that in many places the paint has peeled from the ceilings and the plaster has fallen off the walls. The school shows her age in other ways, as during the first cold snap of winter the old steam heaters clank as if in a final effort to make the students warm. Byrd’s architecture is not standard with the streamlined construction of more modern schools, but the high ceilings and the intricate artwork on the front of the building are indeed part of the char¬ acter of Byrd itself. Since Byrd High School has been in use for half century, many wonder when or if it will ever fall dow r n. It is hard for those who love Byrd to imag¬ ine that it might not stand forever. Even though sometime in the future Byrd may crumble to the ground, it is assured that its image, its reputation, and its memory will never die in the hearts of those who graduate from Byrd. At the beginning of the year, the new library began to take shape before opened for use in November. Senior Pep Squad members devoted many long hours of hard work to the traditional painting of the Gator Day murals for the cafeteria. 8 GUSHER During the school year Martha McCornell displayed her Before the Woodlawn game, Stingerettes Drum Corps mem- love for Byrd with her constant care for its appearance. bers hosted a spirit breakfast for the football players. BYRD — 50 Years 9 Mr. George Wilson looked on as Mimi McDowell made a class officer nomination. Sergeant David Yerton and Charles Smith discussed the upcoming officers’ test. 10 GUSHER Special Events Highlighted Daily Routine Mrs. Lee Lottinger collected P.T.A. dues from Mrs. Margaret Manry at Back to School Night. At Byrd each student establishes a daily routine which he usually follows without variation throughout the year. This routine includes one’s classes, the times one goes to his locker, and what halls and stairways he chooses en route to classes. Because o thers in the school take similar paths each day, it becomes natural to make new acquaintances. As the year passes, these new acquain¬ tances become familiar and new friend¬ ships may be established. Such daily routines are interrupted by special events such as elections, competition for honors, and membership in organi¬ zations. A combination of routine pro¬ cedures and special events make one’s years at Byrd complete. The boys’ gym classes practiced proper trampoline tech niques. Competition played a fundamental role in many activities at Byrd, as illustrated when Michael Patterson and Julie Jones participated in the Speech Department’s auditions held in the fall. BYRD —50 Years 11 Cheerleaders led victory songs at the flag-raising held after the Haughton game. 12 GUSHER Campus Life Offered Numerous Activities Students spent spare lunch time talking with friends outside the cafeteria. Student life at Byrd certainly is not confined to the classrooms; a nearly equal amount of activity takes place in the area immediately around the school. These areas are frequently used by the general public as well as by the students at Byrd. Regular events on the campus were the frantic parking lot scrambles and the bus loading before and after school, while the banner dis¬ plays and victory flag raisings added to memories. One can understand through looking at old photographs of Byrd that as the surroundings have remain ed rel¬ atively unchanged throughout time, the students’ interests, challenges, and dreams have been unchanged for the fifty years of Byrd’s life. During the summer, the pep squad and cheerleaders practiced chants and cheers which were used during the year. BYRD —50 Years 13 Caddo Career students. Richard Fillet and Carl Pennell, participated in Billy Casten and fackie Phillips cheered for the lackets experiments in electronics. at the Southwood game. In Cooperative Office Education.

Course. 14 GUSHER Students Shared Talents with Community Mr. Jewell Wagner crowned Mary Leonard Homecoming Queen during the pre-game activities at the Southwood game. For a Z Club project Lisa Guin and Mary Fritze gave swim¬ ming lessons to handicapped children at the YWCA. Though Byrd has been called a city in itself, its function is not to isolate stu¬ dents in a strictly sterile learning envi¬ ronment, but to prepare them to live effectively in the community. To achieve this goal, there was available a variety of programs which enabled stu¬ dents to use their talents and to pursue their interests in Shreveport. Preparing students for future jobs were the work- study. D.E., and C.O.E. programs, for which participants received academic credits while working in a local store or office. Service clubs provided opportu¬ nities for members to fill various needs which were found in Shreveport, while school-sponsored trips and athletic events were medians through which Byrd’s talents were displayed and by which Byrd’s high reputation was sup¬ ported in the community. The Stingerettes performed hand drills at every football game to promote spirit. BYRI) — 50 Years 15 Top: In 1926 the main social event of the school year was Mardi Gras.

Through extracurricular activities students were able to put to practical use the concepts of participa¬ tion and leadership gained in academic activities. A variety of activities was available at Byrd, enabling any student to pursue his particular interest. Though the scholastic achievements of one ' s high school career greatly influ¬ ence a student ' s future life , the extra¬ curricular activities will be remem¬ bered as taking an equal place in shap¬ ing one ' s character and personality .

Byrd’s football games were high¬ lighted each week with pep rallies designed to promote school spirit in each person. These pep rallies were an important part of Byrd because they promoted the football team and allowed students and teachers to dis¬ play their support. After the traditional opening of each pep rally, announce¬ ments concerning the student body were made and a variety of skits were presented through the efforts of the cheerleaders and others assisting them. Following the skits the cheerleaders promoted spirit by leading cheers which were climaxed by the awarding of the spirit stick. School spirit was also shown by the Byrd Band’s musical tal¬ ents as well as student participation in the painting of banners. The student body joined together to sing “We are the Jackets’’ to end each pep rally. The Byrd Band played “Just You and Me” and many other popular songs during the pep rallies.

Activities 27 MINI-COURSES Boosted Career Interest On several Tuesdays throughout the year, the co-ordinators provided the student body with various people from the community who spoke on subjects pertaining to several career areas.

On Teacher Appreciation Day an assembly was called at which all faculty members were recognized as a group. On three consecutive days elections involved assemblies in the auditorium for cheer¬ leader try-outs, Student Council cam¬ paign speeches, and voting. The Mili¬ tary Ball was held at the Barksdale Offi¬ cers’ Club in March, during which Bat¬ talion Commander Thomas Woodley and Queen Janice Jordan had the first dance. All of these activities brought the year to a gradual close and instilled memories of Byrd in the minds of those graduating. On election day parents volunteered to help students understand the voting procedures. Activities 29 30 GUSHER ORGANIZATIONS Byrd ' s organizations provided a way for the student to develop skills in working with oth¬ ers. Those students with leadership ability who wanted to assume positions of responsibility participated in extracurricular activities according to their interests. An advantage of Byrd was that , because of its size , a many-fac¬ eted program of activities was available to any student. Through group projects which were completed in organizations , the participant not only received a sense of accomplishment but also learned the importance of cooperation and dependability which is necessary in later life.

They spent most of the day in the deaf-oral classroom, but planned to move out into the school in such courses as physi¬ cal education, art, industrial arts, and home economics. A new method of rehabilitation was set up at Byrd in the beginning of the 1974-75 school year. Run by Mr. Hubert Allen and his aide, Mrs. Betty Page, the Reclamation Room provided students with the chance to continue their school work while under the influence of behavioral modification.

Faculty 221 SCHOOL AWAY From SCHOOL, CADDO Students who wished to finish high school but for some reason were unable to attend regular public school had the opportunity to take courses to receive credit at the School Away from School. There were three branches of the school located throughout Shreveport. Each school had two shifts to give stu¬ dents the chance to choose the courses they wished to take of the twenty-four offered and to choose a convenient time to attend. Students were eligible for this program by recommendation from teachers, counselors, and principals in their original schools. The School Away from School, with an average enrollment of 220 students, gave many students the chance to earn diplomas when they would otherwise have missed the opportunity. Pamela Morris worked with Pamela Johnson and Jackie Moore in outlining an American history assignment. Ronnie Lewis studied federal government organization to gain credit in Civics. Anita Fellows Strong and Donna Lee checked the bulletin board to find the credits they needed. 222 GUSHER CAREER CENTER Offered Career Study The Caddo Career Center, pro¬ vided many junior and senior high school students with training and on- the-job experience in a vocational- technical field. Seventeen courses were offered which involved either preparation for occupations, trades and industries, or business educa¬ tion. Students spent three hours at the center each day. This program gave students enough experience to have a job opportunity while in school or to enter directly into a job after graduation. Modern techniques and equipment were used in teach¬ ing by skilled and experienced instructors. Joe Spell received vocational training through his Commer¬ cial Arts course at the Caddo Career Center.

In high school, recognition for such accomplishments comes from teachers, from election to honorary clubs, from students in choosing favorites, or from judges in distribution of scholarships and awards. A person who excels and who always strives for higher goals deserves to be highly esteemed. Such students at Byrd can be proud of their strides and are assured that the extra work they did is not in vain, as it leads to success in later life.

The GUSHER Staff takes great pride in presenting Miss GUSHER Marga¬ ret Bane and Mr. GUSHER Charles Edwin Hub- ley. During her freshman year at Byrd, Margaret became involved in the art department, win¬ ning first place in the Holiday in Dixie art com¬ petition.

During their years at C. E. Byrd, the Seniors of 1975 have contributed many long hours of work and service. This devotion has not gone unnoticed by other students at Byrd nor by this year¬ book. Throughout the Senior section students were recognized for their lead¬ ership. In order that leadership would be available equally to all. each senior was only allowed to hold one major office and two minor offices, or three minor offices. As in previous years at Byrd, Seniors were granted permission to hold class meetings during school hours. Early in the second semester members of the 1975 Senior Class held meetings to dis¬ cuss graduation plans, nominate six boys and six girls for the honor of Sen¬ ior Favorite, and make suggestions for class flower, song, and motto. During the next Senior meeting, the Seniors voted for Senior Favorites when they were measured for caps and gowns. Those nominated for Senior Favor¬ ites were Mark Adams, Susan Barker, Cynthia Belcher, Vickie Bright, Mary Fritze, Terri Galloway, Gif Gillen, Stan Gorham, Lisa Guin, Pam Harris, Sha- von Hays, Wayne Homza, Susie House, Henry Hunsicker, Elvis Jeter, Patti King, Mary Leonard, Benji Lester, Justin Linnear, Gerry Lott, Ken Lottinger, Jay Lee Macon, Mimi McDowell, Andrew Miller, Kay Moch, Kathy Nolen, Bill Peavy, John Russell, Sharon Simpson, Roderick Sykes, Ken Theis, Shanda Thomas, Curt Thurmon, and Thomas Woodley.

Seniors voted for Senior Favorite Nominees at one of their class meetings. Honors 239 WORKSHOPS Prepared Leaders Much of the leisure time of several Byrd students was spent in summer workshops and camps. Service clubs, such as Leo, Key Interact, and “Z Club volunteered their time and services to aid teachers and serve their school.

This loyalty was shown in competition for the spirit stick at pep rallies and by a spirit link contest sponsored by the jun¬ iors for the Gator Day assembly. In many academic pursuits members of different classes worked at equal levels, while some classes were designed pri¬ marily for one age group. Through identity with his class, a Byrd student often had the opportunity to be friends with the same people he had known in grade school. Such lasting friendships and common bonds added loyalty to Byrd ' s traditions and sealed ties between students which lasted long after graduation.

Styles changed, but the same spirit was still very much alive. They were active in service clubs, Student Council, and activities such as Gator Day and Go West Day. By paint¬ ing banners for games and boosting spirit at pep rallies, they won the spirit stick for their class. Many Sophomore girls were elected into the Stingerettes at the end of the year. The Sophomore class of 1975 was one of the high hopes of the future. Class officer nominees were Terri Fortner. Melissa Humphrey. Diane Cooper.

Because of those businesses and patrons in the community who sup¬ port Byrd, the GUSHER staff is able to include color pages and special effects in the book.
