Byrd provided a wide variety of oppor¬ tunities for involvement. Any student could choose from among the many organizations for the special ones which best suited his preference. Spirit groups attracted a large number of members, as did the various athletic teams. Byrd offered almost every extra-curricular activity a student could hope to find. Byr- dites not only participated outside of class, but also busied themselves with in- the-classroom projects. Whether cheering with friends at a pep rally or spending the afternoon working on a group panel, the citizens of the City of Byrd enthusiastic¬ ally supported their Alma Mater. 6 GUSHER
