But a rhoment’s thought will dispel this surprise, for with such a large oil field only a few miles away, what name could bel lhore appropriate? Then, too, we had another reaso for naming our annual THE GUSHER, which applie more directly to the contributors to the magazine for we e ig he class of the humbler poet of wife Longf JHovf vrras: — Ih e i e axe-many-rumors ab ouv h 4w. the GUSHER began.

In his years at Byrd each student was influenced by teachers, classmates, and the various activities in which he participated. Maturity was gained as each student carried out his daily routine with anticipation. There were pep rallies, planned activities, and various sports to watch for enjoyment. Hope, silence, sadness, spirit, and joy were experienced by every student at Byrd every day throughout the year. The impression made on students by experi¬ ences and people met will remain for life. 4 GUSHER . . . of Life, Opposite Page: Top: Many classrooms had colorful bulletin boards to brighten the room and add to Jacket spirit.

Whether it was hope for a victory in sports or hope for better grades, many anticipated better times in the future. Students at Byrd soon realized rays of hope appeared even at their dark¬ est moments, thus, making many of their dreams come true. Dreams of belonging were fulfilled as many students became members of service organizations. Through its many establishments Byrd High soon gratified the ambitions of its student body. Sounds of ' 77 7 The halls of C. E. Byrd were filled with many silences. A silence was felt by every student at least once during the day, whether in assembly during prayer, in the halls, or in the library. These sounds of silence had a palpable reality. One might have found a person in class by himself taking time out to read a book, or one might have found the silence of respect as Dr. Shaw spoke to the student body. This same silence might have been felt during the posting of the colors or at the end of the day after the students had left to go home. For whatever reason, the sounds of silence were a reality to each and every student as a pan of C. E. Byrd High School. . . . of Silence, 8 GUSHER Opposite Page: Top: The sounds of silence, felt by every student at Byrd, were reflected in many places around the Shreveport-Bossier area.

Through competition, athletes per¬ formed to their fullest ability, upholding their school spirit. Highly ranked deba¬ ters and musicians added to the spirited student body. Various organizations raised the enthusiasm at assemblies by presenting skits and commercials. If not heard, spirit could be seen in banners and posters hung in a quiet hall, from the attendance at athletic events, and out¬ side on the practice field as the band rehearsed and R.O.T.C. drilled. Whether yelling for their class in Battle Cry at a Pep Rally or working for the school through a service organization, all students took part in making Byrd a school distinguished in spirit. Sounds of ' 77 11 Although students of Byrd will look back upon most of their high school memories with happiness, some of the sadder times will also be remembered. Long faces and tears were seen upon many occasions over many things. Caught up in the frantic pace of deadlines for class assignments and school activities, many students felt the frustration of limited time. Some disappointments experienced during the year might seem small in the future but at the time were very real and important. A lost friend or football game, an injury or heartbreak, or shat¬ tered dreams have touched many throughout their high school years. Dis¬ appointments, however, were soon over¬ shadowed by better times found at Byrd, and the joy of winning, making new friends, and achieving higher goals dried many tears. 12 GUSHER Opposite Page: Top: Hopper Fulco and a losing scoreboard were examples of less happy times; however, the Jackets did come back to defeat Huntington with a score of 14-13.

Bottom Left: After missing the football early in the game, Billy Boswell came back to make a touchdown. Bottom Right: Loneliness enveloped many students during their year at Byrd. Sounds of ’77 13 The happy memories at Byrd High School will remain with us for most of our lives. There will be many memories to lock in our hearts when we leave this old building for the last time. The sounds of joy at Byrd were many: A sigh of relief upon receiving an A” on the final exam, the roar of a class after winning the spirit stick, applause after the band’s playing of one’s favorite song, and the cheering after another Jacket victory. There will be very many happy times in our lives, but among the most important ones, the times in our high school years at C. E. Byrd will stand out above all.

Bottom Right: Before school, the parking lot was the place where the buzz and laughter of friends talking could be heard. 14 GUSHER Sounds of ’77 15 Some people think honor comes in the form of fame and prestige instead of the form of peace and self-satisfaction. Doing a job well, no matter how small or insignificant, is real honor. True worth is in being, not seeming - In doing, each day that goes by, some little good - not in dreaming of great things to do by and by. OPPOSITE PAGE: This trophy represented one of the many awards won by Byrd High School students.

The highest honors which the GUSHER Staff can bestow upon two individuals are the titles of Mr. and Miss GUSHER. Each year, after careful consideration, the Staff votes for two seniors, excluding senior favor¬ ites and GUSHER Staff members, who they feel have contributed the most valuable services to Byrd. Those elected must have attended Byrd for at least three years and maintained high character values, high academic standards, and other unique qualities associated with those respected by their teachers and fellow students.

Honors 25 Senior Favorite Nominees The seniors of seventy-seven contrib¬ uted many long hours of work and service to C. E. Byrd High School. Individual members each donated their time to some facet of Byrd through service, energy, sacrifice, and determination. Through their leadership, seniors continued the tradition of keeping Byrd one of the finest schools in the state. These students guided underclassmen in their efforts to work for their school and their organiza¬ tions. These fine leadership qualities found in many graduates were possible since an individual was able to hold only one major and two minor offices or three minor offices. Among the many activities of the sen¬ iors were voting on the class flower, song, and motto, ordering graduation invitations, being measured for caps and gowns, and electing senior favorites. The responsibility of choosing senior favorites was an important decision since these seniors would always represent the gradu¬ ating class of 1977. Taken into consider¬ ation were integrity of character, quality of scholastic achievement, contribution of service to Byrd, and true friendliness, both in school and out. These favorites exhibited a purpose and plan for their lives and have accepted responsibility for themselves and their actions. Due to a tie for sixth place in the boys, GUSHER has honored these thirteen seniors and they are now presented to you in the order of the number of votes received. These and all of the 1977 graduating class have cre¬ ated memories that will last a lifetime; they will each take part of Byrd High School with them, yet each will leave a part of themselves behind. Rebecca Burton of Styron’s Engraving Co. helped Dana Atkins and Lance Rist order graduation invitations. The 1977 Commencement marked the first combined Baccalaureate and Graduation exercises. Mr. Shirel Thompson of Yearwood ' s measured newcomer Mignonne Holmes for her graduation cap and gown. 26 GUSHER FRESHMEN Earned High Averages Jo Manny maintained a 3.60 average, placing her second in the Freshman class.

The thirty-five members of Dope Stop attended four training sessions early in the year to learn the program and then traveled to local elementary schools to relate their information and experiences through posters, stories, and informal talks with students. The aim of this pro¬ gram was not only to show the folly of taking drugs, but to teach the fourth, fifth, and sixth graders self-esteem and to help them cope with the pressures to take drugs. Hopefully, being discouraged by people closer to their own age was more valuable than adult warnings. The Pro¬ gram effectiveness was hard to meas¬ ure , but if one child was disuaded, it was worth the effort. Dope Stop was affiliated with CODAC, headed by Mrs. Anita McFerren, who was a great help to the program.

Each staff member fulfilled his assignments toward the completion of the book, and all members learned to work together as a whole. They had their ups and their downs, but learning from their mistakes and arguments, lasting friendships resulted. The highlights of the year included a trip to Dallas to tour Taylor Publishing Company and to visit Six Flags over Texas, and a party at the end of the year to celebrate the arrival of the GUSHERS.

The opposition included four playoff bound teams, two of which progressed to the state finals. The scores of a few games unfortunately reflected this fact. Still, the Yellow Jackets’ season included some highlights. A thrilling homecoming victory was the greatest Byrd accomplish¬ ment during the season. Each member of this 1976 team can look back on this year without regret because of the pride shown by each team member in the face of a disappointing 2-7-1 record. 116 GUSHER JACKETS Ended With 2-7-1 S eason The 1976 football coaches were: FRONT ROW: Earle Belle, Jimmy Harri¬ son, Charles Thrash.

Sports 119 Jackets Dropped Opener BYRD 14 NATCHITOCHES 20 The Yellow Jackets, who entered their first game of the season unsure of what type of team they would be, put up a good battle before surrendering to the Natchitoches Chiefs 20-14. Fighting a bad case of the fumbles, the Jackets fell two touchdowns behind before they got on track. With time running out in the first half, now 20 points behind, the Jackets finally got on the scoreboard as Mark Leonard moved the Byrd offense 67 yards on two passes to Jackie Mays to the Chief 18-yard line. The drive culminated in a 16-yard scoring toss from Leonard to Billy Boswell. The Yellow Jacket defense stiff¬ ened in the second half, holding the Chiefs scoreless. Early in the fourth quar¬ ter the Jackets mounted another long drive, bringing Byrd to within six points as Bentley Brister grabbed an 11-yard pass from Leonard for another touchdown. The Jackets had one last shot as Calvin Moore’s running brought the ball to the Chief 29-yard line, but that hope was fumbled away with 34 seconds left to play. Calvin Moore ran downfield behind the blocking of Craig Gilliam. BYRD 0 RUSTON 0 With three inches of rain falling before the kickoff, the Jackets and the Bearkats, rated second in the state, battled through the mud to a scoreless tie. The only scor¬ ing opportunity belonged to Byrd on a drive to the Ruston 8-yard line, high¬ lighted by a 26-yard pass from Mark Leo¬ nard to Bentley Brister. The Jacket offense then stalled for three plays and on fourth down Joe Richardson entered the game to attempt an 18-yard field goal, but poor footing on the muddy field caused the kick to sail just to the right of the uprights. Calvin Moore later threat¬ ened to score when he broke loose on a 39-yard draw play, but again the slow field allowed the Bearkats to catch and bring down the sprinter, ending the final scoring threat of the game. A fine effort by the Jacket defense kept Ruston from penetrating the Byrd 20-yard line to keep the final score 0-0. Scott Petree got set as the Nachitoches running back attempted to regain his footing. 120 GUSHER Jackets Slid to Standoff Lance Rist discussed defensive strategy with coach Charles Thrash during a Craig Gilliam was dropped just short of the Panther goal line, timeout. Mike Turner, shaking a Southwood defender, ram bled npfield. Sports 121 Indians Overpowered Byrd BYRD 0 FAIR PARK 33 Although the score was 33-0 in favor of Fair Park, this game could have been a much closer one. Byrd was unable to spark its team to its full potential behind the quarterbacking of Mark Leonard, who threw for only 53 yards on the night. The Jackets’ main problem was ball control. They fumbled three times in key situa¬ tions. One bright spot in the game was the brilliant linebacking of Mike Turner, who was named defensive player of the week. Mike lead the defense throughout the game and helped it keep its stamina even in a losing cause. Early in the game, Alphonso Williams intercepted an Indian halfback pass, giving Byrd the ball in good field position, but Byrd was una¬ ble to move the ball on the tough Indian defense. Fair Park used big plays to leap out ahead by 13 points at the half. This was the first district game for the Jackets and the loss dropped Byrd to 0-2-1 for the season. Jackie Mays ran to daylight behind Billy Boswell’s block. Chappelle Henderson and Tom Bittick ruined a Fair Park screen pass Bentley Brister struggled to penetrate the Indian defense. 122 GUSHER Brister Sparked Jackets Billy Boswell was taken down after hauling in one of his catches. Bentley Brister gathered in the winning touchdown pass. BYRD 14 HUNTINGTON 13 Byrd celebrated their homecoming in fine fashion as they defeated the Hunting- ton Raiders 14-13 at Captain Shreve Sta¬ dium. Both of the Jacket touchdowns went through the air to Bentley Brister from Mark Leonard, using the shotgun forma¬ tion. Huntington had several scoring opportunities, but the Jacket defense, led by Craig Gilliam and Brister, each with a key interception, remained tough and stopped the opposition’s drives. The Raiders dominated the first half, scoring two touchdowns, but failed to tack on their second extra point. Byrd’s first score came on a 23-yard pass from Leonard to Brister. The extra point was added by Joe Richardson. The Jackets’ final touchdown was highlighted by a 67-yard drive, including passes to Billy Boswell and Jackie Mays. The score came on another Leonard to Brister pass. These points coming late in the fourth quarter, brought the score to 13-all. Richardson’s point after boot then split the uprights, giving the Jackets the lead for the first time in the ball game. The Jackets held on for the victory, their first win. Mike Turner and Jackie Mays cracked down on a Hunt- Jackie Mays was tackled after intercepting a Raider pass, ington runner. Sports 123 Byrd Upset Panthers BYRD 10 PARKWAY 6 Byrd came into this game with a 1-2-1 record. Anxious to win this game to bet¬ ter their season record, the Jackets were prepared. The Byrd Yellow Jackets got on the board first by driving 81 yards to the Parkway 15, with the help of some fine offensive line blocking. Joe Richardson then kicked a 30-yard field goal to put the Jackets in the lead. Parkway’s offense could not penetrate the fired up defense of the Jackets. The outstanding defensive play was headed by Mike Turner and Billy Roussel. With 4:30 left on the clock, behind 6-3, the Jackets received a punt on their own 16 yard line. They then drove 85 yards to the Panther 1 yard line, led by the running of Craig Gilliam with 71 yards for the night. Mark Leonard passed to Turner to give the Jackets the lead with 27 seconds left in the game. Joe Richardson added the extra point, bringing the score to 10-6. The time ran out on the Parkway Panthers as the Jackets won their second game in a row, raising their record to 2-2-1. Mike Turner cradled the ball as he caught the winning touchdown pass Mark Leonard rolled to the outside, eluding Panther tacklers. Jackie Mays pulled down a toss good for 27 yards. 124 GUSHER Cowboys Gunned Down Jackets Calvin Gillims, after running for a few yards, was dragged down from behind by a Southwood defender. Scott Holtby took a screen pass from Mark Leonard and had a clear field ahead. BYRD 20 SOUTHWOOD 46 Trying for their third win in a row and still hoping for a playoff berth, the Yel¬ low Jackets gave their best offensive effort , but could not slow the overpower¬ ing Cowboy offense. Playing catch up football most of the way, Byrd began their scoring with a 58-yard scoring drive midway through the second quarter, cap¬ ped by Jackie Mays 5-yard touchdown run. Then in the third quarter, trailing 27-7, the Jackets drove 79 yards for another touchdown when quarterback Mark Leonard hit Billy Boswell with a 9- yard scoring strike to come within two touchdowns of the playoff bound Cow¬ boys. Southwood broke away in the fourth quarter, scoring 19 points on a tired defense which had played most of the night. With less than four minutes left, the never-say-die Jacket offense came back with too little too late as Leonard passed 16 yards to Bentley Brister for his second scoring toss of the night. The loss put Byrd’s record at 1-2 in district and 2- 3-1 overall. Mark Leonard, dropping back to pass, looked downfield for a would-be receiver. Billy Boswell after pulling in a pass was brought down by a Southwood defender. Sports 125 Jackets Fell Short of Woodlawn BYRD 0 WOODLAWN 21 The Byrd High Yellow Jackets suffered an important district defeat to the Wood¬ lawn Knights. All hopes for the playoffs were lost as the crucial game dropped their district record to 1-3. This was Byrd’s second straight game against a playoff bound team. Woodlawn received the opening kickoff. Unable to run with the ball against the Jackets’ line, Wood¬ lawn began to pass. Blitzing from his linebacking position, Lance Rist sacked quarterback Rodney Poland for a sizeable loss. The play resulted with Byrd in pos¬ session of the ball, but the Jackets were forced to punt. After a scoreless first quarter, the Knights came back to put 14 points on the board by the half. Although the Jacket defense remained poised, Woodlawn added one more touchdown to put the game out of reach. The Jacket offense generated two long second half drives, only to be stopped deep into Knights’ territory. Vince Fulco, Senior Fullback who lettered in his junior year, led Jacket rushers while Mike Turner pulled down three passes. The loss drop¬ ped the Jacket record to 2-4-1. 126 GUSHER Tommy Hunter leaped to block the extra point against Woodlawn Knights. Bentley Brister stiff-armed for yardage at Captain Shreve Stadium.

BYRD 0 JESUIT 35 The lack of numbers hurt the Jackets desperately. Jesuit’s unbeaten, untied team had complete control on the field the whole first half because of Jacket turnovers. The second half the Jackets came out fired up and ready to go holding the Jesuit Flyers scoreless. The Jackets’ offense drove 53 yards to the 1 foot line where Mark Leonard was stopped. Byrd’s defense was like a wall. Jesuit could not penetrate on the powerful defense of Byrd. The highlight of the second half came when in the fourth quarter on the fifty yard line Alphonso Williams inter¬ cepted a pass deflected by Craig Gilliam. The loss hurt Byrd’s morale greatly as Jes¬ uit’s state champion team gave the Jack¬ ets little opportunity to come back. Vince Fulco burst through the Jacket hoop. Sports 127 Lions Upset Jackets BYRD 6 B. T. WASHINGTON 30 The Byrd Yellow Jackets came out fighting in the first half of this, the last district game. Battling to a scoreless first quarter, the Jackets momentarily weak¬ ened, allowed BTW to gain the lead. The Lions moved into scoring position after a mishandled punt and two penalities put the ball on the 6-yard line. This resulted in a 6-yard touchdown. The Jackets defense was still fired up under the lead¬ ership of Lance Rist, who dumped BTW’s quarterback on a crucial pass play for a 12-yard loss. This forced the Lions to punt. The Jackets then hit two key passes from Mark Leonard to Bentley Brister, taking them to the 30-yard line to set up the score. Leonard then threw to Mike Turner for a 30-yard scoring play. The extra point conversion was blocked so the Jackets went into the half behind 7-6. In the second half the breaks went for BTW. The Jackets fought to the end, but the Lions exploded for 15 points in the final period, putting the game in the hands of BTW. Breaking the back of the Byrd effort were two Lion interceptions returned for long touchdowns. The game gave Byrd a final district record of 1-4. Billy Boswell scampered out of bounds at the Lion 30-yard line. Mike Turner raced across the goal line with another ByTd touchdown. 128 GUSHER Jackets Fought to Finish Vince Fulco found a small hole in the Captain Shieve defensive line. BYRD 0 CAPT.

The Jackets took the opening kickoff and drove from their own 25-yard line down to the Captain Shreve 28, tak¬ ing up nearly the whole first quarter, before fumbling the ball away. The only Gator touchdown in the first half was set up by an interception deep in Jacket ter¬ ritory. At halftime, the Yellow Jackets held a 131-65 edge in total yardage. Though Byrd fell behind on two long Shreve touchdown passes, they put up a good fight. The Jacket offense held an edge in offensive plays and ground out 132 rushing yards, led by Craig Gilliam with 68. Mark Leonard surpassed the 1000-yard mark for the year in passing. The loss brought Byrd’s final record to 2-7-1. All Seniors lined up on the field to await the coin toss in their final game.

In the Yellow Jacket ' s first game of the season, Byrd was led by a strong offensive attack, sup¬ ported by Terry Woods with 15 points and Anthony Lott with an additional 12 points. The game was close during the first three quarters but the Jackets proved too much for their rivals and won going away in the last quarter. In their second meeting of the season, Byrd again came out on top in a thriller in the Byrd gym. The Yellow Jackets fought hard to keep the game theirs. They kept the lead during the third quarter and went on to win by two points. Perry Powell again had a fine game against the Gators with 22 points, while Anthony Lott also had a terrific game making 20 points.

Even though Minden went ahead late in the game, the Jackets showed they could compete with the top teams of the state. Byrd, throughout the game, showed great defense by keeping up with their opponents. Byrd was led by Anthony Lott’s 22 points, while Terry Woods and Perry Powell scored 11 points After receiving a pass from Ferry Powell, Anthony Lott shot for an each, easy two points. Jackets Started BYRD 58 PARKWAY 66 In their only match of the season, the Jackets could not equal Parkway and went down in defeat for the first time of the season.

The Jackets showed a balanced scoring game with three starters hitting double figures, led by Terry Woods’ 18 points, and followed by Anthony Lott’s and Perry Powell’s 13 and 12 points respectively.

Losing by only one point, the Jackets showed that they were strong and would never give up in a game until the final buzzer. Byrd regained Terry Woods and Anthony Lott, and both came up with 17 points. Again Perry Powell could not be stopped as he popped in 20 points.

Their first meeting at Jesuit was to be the closest, with the Jackets skimming by the Flyers in over¬ time by a single point. Jesuit led the game until the final minutes when Anthony Lott sank a basket with seconds remaining, tying the game, and sending it into overtime. Byrd’s momentum car¬ ried the Jackets through overtime enabling them to defeat the Jesuit team. In their second meeting of the season with Jesuit, a low-scoring game was recorded though the Jackets came out on top winning this one going away. Though a weak offense was shown, the Jackets allowed Jesuit to get only 37 points with strong defensive performances from Ran¬ dolph Banks and Keith Carter.

Orientation day introduced the new students to the various organizations at Byrd and gave them an idea of what the years to come might bring. To become more a part of the City of Byrd, Freshmen joined service clubs, attended athletic events, and ran for class offices. While preparing to be the leaders of the future, these students grew under the influence of older school¬ mates, while they came to appreciate the friendships of their fellow classmates. A time for meeting new people, learning more about life, and planning for the future - the freshman year was a time to remember for all those who began their high school career at Byrd in 1976. Renee James, a nominee for Freshman class president, worked diligently on her Algebra assignment. Freshman class officers were: FRONT ROW: Glenda Holt, President; Johanna Manry, Vice-President; Dejuane Lindsay, Secretary; Audrey Miller, Treasurer. SECOND ROW: James Gray, Parliamentarian; Darryl Ball, Sergeant-at-Arms. 312 GUSHER as They Began Their High School Career Beginning their first high school year, Freshmen voted for class officers.

Since 1911 advertisers have pro¬ moted the GUSHER, and they still continue doing so today. Besides receiving permanent advertising, patrons also supported Byrd and their community by financing the largest yearbook in Shreveport. TOP: Karen Risher and Dana Atkins worked on the billing of ads with Mrs. Phalamae Gray. BOTTOM: Margaret Bell was exuberant upon receiving an ad from Hearne ' s.

It Works. When you stop and think about your day-to-day life, you probably spend more time communicating - and being communicated with - than any other single activity. The textbooks you read, your teachers’ classroom presentations and, for that matter, all of education is really just communications. Add to that, newspapers and magazines, radio and television, your conversations with friends and the letters you write and we think you’ll agree that communications is a big part of your life. And . . . don’t forget the telephone. If you ' re at all like most students, you probably spend at least an hour each day communicating by telephone with you r friends. Chances are, the telephones you use each day were made right here. The Shreveport Works makes over five million telephones a year for South Central Bell and the other Bell System telephone companies. Bell Laboratories designs them. We build them. The Bell telephone companies install and keep them working.
