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.
