Bottom Right: Dan Sandifer shot for two points. 4 GUSHER Prevalent Throughout the Year The spirit and excitement of Byrd were second to none. Both students and faculty supported Byrd in every way they could. Everyone had his own way of showing his spirit whether it was preparing a skit for pep rallies, cheering the team on at games, or spending long afternoons painting ban¬ ners. Exciting faces witnessed flag rais¬ ings, touchdowns, a last second basket, and election returns. Outsiders certainly realized that the “Jacket spirit ain’t never gonna die!” EVERYDAY OCCURRENCES . . . Many events and activities, such as the door-decorating contest, occurred at Byrd which enriched the school life of students. As students went through each step in their daily routine, a growing of maturity developed deep inside them. There were times of frustration, special events, and happiness which was carried with the stu¬ dents through all the years at Bryd. 6 GUSHER the Little Things That Kept Us Going Opposite Page: Top: Students left the parking lot for a weekend away from school. Middle Left: Richard Wilson had his underclassman picture taken by Kurvis Burns Photogra¬ phers. Middle Right: Robert Bolin, Scott Holtby, and Billy Boswell boarded the bus for the West Monroe game.

Cindy Efferson, and Richard Liles helped decorate Miss Jean Pon¬ der’s door for Christmas. Memories 78 7 There were many people doing work under pressure throughout the school year. The work was hard, but after it had all been done, a student could relax and be proud of what he had accomplished. The relaxing times came after a deadline had been made or after a performance had been mastered. It was through these relaxing times — around the sippy hut, at a football game, or in the parking lot — that students became closer friends. The times of relaxation eased the strains and pressures of students, which made them more willing to strive for their next goal. RELAXING TIMES . . . 8 GUSHER Welcomed With Relief Opposite Page: Top: During halftime break, band members enjoyed their free time. Bottom Left: Becky Hamm and Terry England sold sippys to Kammy Deckant and Yolanda Richardson between classes. Bottom Right: Before the game many students bombarded McDonalds.

Pep Squad officers and Cheerlead¬ ers went to their workshop campus and brought back new ideas for the coming year. The Cheerleaders started their daily practicing and painting banners. Pep Squad started in late July and continued until the first day of school. The football team started practice in August twice a day five hours a day. Band and Band Majorettes practiced hard in the hot sun learning new music and new steps. The counselors and some office workers also came to school in August preparing for students. Memories ' 78 11 SERIOUS and SOMETIMES SAD The students will always carry memo¬ ries of their days at Byrd High School, whether they are memories of their own experiences or those of their friends. There were times when the Jackets felt down. Times when they found themselves with homework on game nights. Times when they had to study extra hard since teachers had tests scheduled the same day. And times when they felt all alone, iso¬ lated in the midst of a crowd. The Jackets always recovered, whatever the case might have been, because of their high achieve¬ ments, painful and happy experiences, and most of all that never dying spirit. 12 GUSHER MOMENTS . . . Shared Throughout Byrd Opposite Page: Top Right: Jane Politz and Sue Jue spent hours of labori¬ ous work on the faculty section.

Shaw crowned Greg Defatta and Phyllis Carter King and Queen of the Junior Prom Court. 14 GUSHER Anticipated by Everyone The Big Events at the City of Byrd were shared by everyone. The most memorable event of all was, of course. Graduation. Ordering senior rings was a special occa¬ sion for the juniors, and probably the most scary happening for the freshmen and sophomores was the Orientation Day. Being elected by your classmates to be a member of the Homecoming and Junior Prom Court was as exciting for the court as for their fellow classmates. Go West Week was also a special event shared by every student at Byrd. All the Jackets dressed up as cowboys and cowgirls and went to the traditional Byrd — Fair Park game. These events and others will always be remembered. Memories ' 78 15 HONORS Pelican State . . . 648 girls. . . 600 boys . . . marching in four’s . . . Governor Edwards . . . Capitol program . . .

They are chosen on the basis of their character, aca¬ demic standards, and leadership qualities. After care¬ ful thought and consideration, the staff votes for a senior boy and girl, each who must have attended Bvrd for three vears and are not senior favorites or GUSHER staff members. The 1978 GUSHER staff takes great pride in presenting Mr. and Miss Gusher, Julia Elizabeth Knight and Joseph Alfred Richard¬ son. Julia Knight has served Byrd in various ways throughout her three years. As a sophomore, Julia was a student council representative for her home¬ room. Du ring her junior year she became a member of “Z Club. Pep Squad, and National Honor Soci- d icfzazclion ety. She also held the office of French Club President. As a senior, Julia continued her participation in Pep Squad by being a member of the Drum Corps. She also served as Student Council Secretary and “Z Club Service Chairman. In the spring, she was hon¬ ored by being a member of the Top Twenty-Five. Joe Richardson has proved to be a valuable asset to Byrd. During his sophomore year, he was a member of the football team and one of three sophomores who lettered that season. He was active his junior year in Varsity Club and as Junior Class Sergeant-at- Arms. As a senior, Joe added to his earlier activities membership in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and membership in Key Club. Joe was also honored by being selected permanent co-team captain of the football team and by being a three-year letterman. 18 GUSHER zSznio% avozitzs, 1 978 .znnij d [i[[± Tjountz £T Honors 19 ig -igiS Honors 21 ! l ozotfijj 3 an datti snioz 3}CKJOzitzi 22 GUSHER 1977-1978 Honors 23 977 -? 97 During their years at C. E. Byrd, the seniors of 1978 have contributed many long hours of work and service. This devo¬ tion had not gone unnoticed by other stu¬ dents at Byrd. Through their leadership seniors continued the tradition of keeping Byrd one of the finest schools in the state. The 1978 senior class held meetings to discuss graduation plans, to nominate 12 boys and 12 girls for the honor of Senior Favorite, and to make suggestions for class flower, song, and motto. During the next meeting, seniors voted for Senior Favorites when they measured for caps and gowns. GUSHER has honored these twelve favorites presenting them in order of num¬ ber of votes received. These seniors and many, many more have created memories that will last a lifetime. Those nominated for Senior Favorites: Randolph Banks, Marian Bell, David Bol¬ ton, Sandy Bonfardine, Blaine Borders, Billy Boswell, Phyllis Ca rter, Jan Cathey, Nancy Coleman, Greg Defatta, Tim Eaton, Cal Griffith, Marilyn Harris, Roy Lester, Kathleen Lyons, Deborah Morri¬ son, Elaine Mayo, Bill Oglesby, Dan San- difer, Becky Seidensticker, Rhonda Stat- ham, Mike Turner, Terry Woods, Jenny Younker.

Sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Louisiana Pelican State’s purpose was to educate young leaders in the operations of local and state government. To become a dele¬ gate, one had to have a high grade average and be a leader in school and civic affairs. After being voted on by their classmates, these students were interviewed by a rep¬ resentative from the American Legion. This week-long program enabled the dele¬ gates to get a first hand understanding of government at the city, parish, and state¬ wide level as they formed a fictional fifty- first state. The delegates did such things as approving a bill before a legislative com¬ mittee; helping design, finance and con¬ struct a city project; complaining about school conditions at a school board meet¬ ing; voicing their opinion to the mayor, sheriff, or police chief; participating in a court case. Louisiana Pelican State proved to be a highly meaningful and educational experience for those that attended. Blaine Borders-City Council member.

Under the direction of Byrd’s new Head Coach Jerry Burton, the Yellow Jackets had the most successful football season that they ' ve had in a long time. At the beginning of the season, the Jackets defeated the Captian Shreve Gators in the Jamboree bv the score of 14-7. Later in the season the Yellow Jackets upset eight ranked Woodlawn Knight 14-13 and had the chance to go to the State Playoffs for the first time in six years: however, in the last game of the season, the Jackets lost to the Fair Park Indians 20-14 destroying their chances for the playoffs. The 1977- 78 football season was one of changes and new attitudes, and along with happiness, there were shades of sorrow and disap¬ pointment. But it will always be remem¬ bered and never regretted by those who made it what it was. 162 GUSHER WILD BUNCH Placed Second in District Coaches for the football team this year were: Front Row: Earl Belle, Larry Rambin, Charles Thrash.

Sports 163 Jackets Swamped Gators and Tide In the Caddo Parish Jamboree, the Yel¬ low Jackets downed the Captain Shreve Gators 14-7 for the first time in ten years. Calvin Gillins scored first on a two-yard run in the first quarter. Captain Shreve soon answered with a long scoring pass over the Jacket defensive secondary. The Jackets were not to be outdone. Byrd promptly untied it with a 25-yard pass from Bill Oglesby to Billy Boswell in the second quarter. For the rest of the game, the Byrd offense just ran time off the clock for their first victory. In the season opener, the Yellow Jack¬ ets came from behind to beat the Minden Crimsin Tide 25-21. Minden led at the half 14-7, but touchdown runs by Gerald Wade, Mark Leonard, and two touch¬ down catches by Lifford Hobley put the game on ice for the Jackets. Gerald Wade broke into open field against Captain Shreve. Calvin Gillins evaded Captain Shreve defenders on his way to score. The final score over Captain Shreve reflected the hard work of the Jackets during the summer. Mike Turner broke into open field on his way to the goal line. Behind the blocking of Robert Bolin. Scott Holtby, and Frank McDonald, the Jackets scored the winning touchdown against Minden. 164 GUSHER Jackets Handed Bitter Defeat Mike Turner discussed offensive strategy with Coach Ramhin. Sixth-ranked Ouachita used great run¬ ning to roll to a 20-0 victory over the Jack¬ ets. The Jackets’ problem was the failure to put the ball in the end zone after many turnovers. The Yellow Jackets drove to the Lions’ goal line three different times, but failed to convert the opportunities into scores. Even though the Jackets knew they should have won the game, the loss put the Jackets’ record at 1-1-0. The defensive line pursued the Lion running back. Calvin Gillins ran back a kick-off for a good gain. Sports 165 Jackets Fell to Marshall The Yellow Jackets traveled to Mar¬ shall only to meet a strong, quick, high- powered offense. The Jacket offense couldn’t get much going, except for two touchdown passes of 64 and 35 yards to split end Billy Boswell. Injuries plagued the Jackets tremendously, sending five Byrd players to the hospital that night. One bright spot for the Jackets was the punting of Mark Leonard and Billy Bos¬ well. The final score ended at 48-14. Gerald Wade turned the corner on the Maverick defense. Chappelle Henderson brought down a Marshall run- A Mark Leonard pass grazed barely over the outstretched hands of Billy Boswell, ningback. Calvin Gillins went up high to bring one in.

With the help of Clifford Hobley, Gerald Wade ran back the kick-off for seventy yards. The Jacket defense wrapped up a Rebel runner. The Yellow Jackets lost a disappointing Homecoming game by a score of 14-0. The Byrd defense had control of the ball game in the first half holding the West Monroe offense at the ten yard line on three different occasions. The score was 0- 0 at the half. The Jacket defense had a superb showing in the second half, but the Rebels scored on a 55-yard pass in the third quarter. The Jackets had many scor¬ ing opportunities but turned the ball over seven times to the West Monroe defense. The Rebels finally scored from the 5-yard line after a fumble by the Jacket offense. Even as the result of misfortune, the Jack¬ ets still held their heads up for preparation for the next game. Billy Boswell pulled in another one. Sports 167 Panthers Stung Yellow Jackets The Yellow Jackets just couldn’t hang onto the ball against the Parkway Pan¬ thers, and had to accept a 13-0 defeat. The Byrd offense could move at will, but couldn’t score the whole night. The Jack¬ ets got inside the Panther ten-yard line four times, but couldn’t score. Outstand¬ ing defensive performances in the second half were given by Cal Griffith and Rob¬ ert Bolin. Mark Leonard and Coach Jerry Burton discussed offensive strategy. Gerald Wade broke into the Panther defensive sec¬ ondary for a good gain. Frank McDonald ran on a sweep for the Jackets. The Jacket offense lined up on their second drive. 168 GUSHER Byrd Opened District With Win The Jacket defense, led by Joe Richardson, threw a Lion runner for a loss.

The Jackets were led on offense by Calvin Gil- lins, who had 68 yards rushing on offense, and one interception on defense. Gerald Wade had 89 yards rushing for the night. The Lion’s offense threatened to score twice in the game, driving inside the Byrd ten-yard line. But both times the Jacket defense came alive and took the ball over on downs. The first Byrd touchdown came in the third quar¬ ter, while the second touchdown came with 7:55 left on the clock. Gerald Wade and Robert Bolin led the way for Calvin Gillins. On fourth down, the Jacket offensive line pushed back Booker T. for their first score. The Jackets were exuberant after scoring the “go ahead” touch¬ down. Sports 169 Jackets Suffered First District Loss The Yellow Jackets were handed their first District loss by the Southwood Cow¬ boys. The playoff bound Cowboys took the lead in the first quarter 7-0. Byrd tied the score with a touchdown pass from Mark Leonard to Mike Reno just before half-time. The third quarter was scoreless, while in the fourth quarter, Southwood scored fourteen points as compared to Bryd ' s seven. The last touchdown catch by Robert Bolin ended the scoring that left Byrd behind 28-13. Mike Turner pursued the play as Chapelle Hender¬ son made the tackle. Gerald Wade urged forward to gain a first down. Mike Reno hauled in a pass as he headed for a touchdown. Gerald Wade swept around the left end during the Southwood game. 170 GUSHER Raiders Were Victims of Defense The Yellow Jackets came from behind with three touchdowns in the fourth quar¬ ter and defeated the Huntington Raiders by the score of 21-3. The game was fairly close until the third quarter when Hunt¬ ington kicked a field goal with 2:47 left. That ' s when the Jackets started to move. Gerald Wade dove in from the one to score Byrd ' s first touchdown. Huntington was then intercepted, and Bill Oglesby threw a 13-yard pass to Mike Reno for the second score. The third touchdown came after a fumble recovery by Mike Turner when Lifford Hobley ran an end sweep for ten yards and ended the scoring at 21- Frank McDonald threw a Huntington runner for a loss. 3. The Jacket offense as seen through the eyes of the Huntington defense was too much for Huntington. Chappelle Henderson broke the hoop before the Huntington game. Sports 171 Yellow Jackets In the most exciting and important game of the season, the Yellow Jackets upset the eighth-ranked Woodlawn Knights by the score of 14-13. The game plan of the Jackets was to keep the ball, and that they did. The Byrd offense had good running and receiving, and led Woodlawn in both categories. Mike Turner along with the rest of the defense held the Woodlawn offense, intercepting three passes, which were all big plays. Byrd ' s first touchdown came in the first quarter when Gerald Wade dove over from the one. Bill Oglesby sneaked over from the one in the second quarter to give Byrd the lead and the victory. Unloaded on Knights Mike Turner and Joe Richardson pursued a Woodlawn runner. The football team was recognized in the Woodlawn pep rally. Mike Turner and Sanford Smith expressed their feelings after a Jacket victory. 172 GUSHER Indians Upset Yellow Jackets Calvin Gillins went around the right end for a gain. In the last football game of the season. Fair Park defeated Byrd by a score of 20- 14. In the first half of the game, the offense just couldn’t get going. Leonard ' s punt, after the first of the second half, started the Jackets rolling. The Indians fumbled the ball and Byrd recovered it. Leonard completed a 13-yard pass to Mike Reno and moved the ball to the Indian 24. This set up Leonard’s touch¬ down pass to Calvin Gillins. Reno later intercepted a pass which moved the ball to the 31. Gerald Wade scored, later in the game, after his 92-yard kickoff return. The defense came to life stopping the Indians on third down at their own 42. But, because of lack of time, the Jackets had 76 yards to go in 53 seconds. Gerald Wade evaded some Fair Park players for a good gain. Mike Reno and Mike Turner stopped a Fair Park receiver. After a few yards. Gerald twenty-yard line.

How would you make arrangements for the big ball game? How would you contact your friends for help with your homework? How would the young men make their dates? How would the young women break them? The telephone has become a necessary part of the American way of life. And, at Western Electric’s Shreveport Works, we make more telephones than any other facility in the world. Western Electric is proud to be a part of the Ark-La-Tex and we are proud of today’s students who will be tomorrow’s leaders. Only through a quality education can you be prepared to assume this position. As John Denver puts it in “The Eagle and The Hawk”: “Reach for the Heavens: hope for the future and all that you can be, not just what you are.” Our employees — some of whom attended Byrd High School — have made Shreveport the “Telephone Capital of the World.” Per¬ haps you will help us continue this tradition when you complete your formal education.
