EVERYDAY OCCURRENCES . . . Many events and activities, such as the door-decorating contest, occurred at Byrd which enriched the school life of students.

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
