The dauntless spirit of hope at Byrd supported students and teach¬ ers through many anxious moments and maintained their faith in their school. Of the many strengths that kept the revolution¬ aries going, hope must have been highest in their hearts. Having been separated from their fami¬ lies, the Continental Army faced forces much larger and more organized than theirs, marching through agonizing winters with frozen feet and empty stomachs. Even the bleakness of the winter at Valley Forge did not smother the flame of hope that burned in their hearts - the hope for freedom for their country and the hope of reunion with their loved ones. Those who loved Byrd never gave up the hope that their school, even in times of defeat, would continue to accept challenges that represent a school of the finest quality. 1776-1976 11

A sense of victory in themselves and in their school prevailed in students in the achievements of school honors and personal goals. As in years before, 1975-1976 proved to be a triumphant year in Byrd’s record in sports events, var¬ ious tournaments, service pro¬ jects, and scholastic honors. When the ragged and worn army of the thirteen colonies forced the surrender of Yorktown, the whole world sang with the incredible story of success. The new nation, victorious in gaining freedom, proved that the concept of a nation ruled by the people was not just a possibility but a reality. This victory over England broke the bonds that enslaved the Amer¬ icans and gave them a new pride in the nation. After each success of Byrd, students were filled with the sense of pride in knowing that their school was victorious not only as a whole, but also in each individual. 12 GUSHER VICTORY. . .
