Hours Experienced Summer, for some of Byrd’s students meant rest and relaxation but for many others it meant the beginning of hard work. 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
