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
