The competitive spirit of each student at Byrd was displayed throughout the year in different activities. Because of this tra¬ ditional spirit, athletes, debaters, and all other citizens of Byrd performed to the best of their ability in every venture they undertook. Competition was evident in all facets of the City of Byrd. At assemblies, each class strove to prove that it had the most spirit. In class, students tried to achieve the highest grade possible in order to set the curve for the entire class. Rivalry also existed among Byrd and other schools. The Jacket academic and athletic teams excelled in their respective areas. Their success was the result of seemingly endless amounts of preparation and practice. 10 GUSHER
