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

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.
