C E Byrd High School - Gusher Yearbook (Shreveport, LA)

From the moment the doors opened on Freshman-Sophomore Orientation Day to the final bell on that beautiful day in May, all the citizens of the City of Byrd were filled with expectations. Bewildered fresh¬ men anxiously anticipated their first year at Byrd, while sophomores, juniors, and seniors looked forward to more memory- making times in the months ahead of them. Jacket hope was always high and was displayed in many ways: waiting to see if the Jackets would score that winning touchdown, crossing fingers as election results were announced, or hoping for a passing grade on that American History final exam. No matter what kind of situa¬ tion the students of Byrd encountered, they always managed to accept the out¬ come, whether they expected it or not, with a smile. Treasury ' 80 5

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
