Despite the highlights of the year, there were still times when students were plagued with disappointments and frus¬ trations: times when the cheerleaders could not perfect that stunt or the basket¬ ball team did not make those extra win¬ ning points; Monday mornings when every single book fell out of the locker just as the tardy bell rang or Thursday nights when there was a game scheduled along with three tests the next day. Whether the Jackets faced too much homework with too little time, or just the plain everyday humdrums, they were never kept down for long. The letdowns were experienced by everyone at one time or another, but the true quality of the citizens of Byrd High School always shone through. Treasury 80 13
