Books, Grades, Tests, and Teachers Were Back THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Each August students prepared for that annual experience of “going back to school.” For some it was their first year as Jackets. Others were returning once again to the familiar and much-loved establish¬ ment known as Byrd. Pippy Jamison, a junior who came from La¬ fayette High school, stated, “It was very dif¬ ferent, but I liked it at once.” In the gym everyone had just a little time to exchange gossip and small-talk left over from the summer. Then, with the pep squad, dan¬ celine, and cheerleader performances, and many speeches, a new chapter or a continuing one in the lives of all students involved. “I felt I was climbing an¬ other step on the stair¬ way to acheivement,” voiced Julie Tidovsky, a freshman in the Pep Squad drum corps. This feeling she expressed was felt by many oth¬ ers, also. There were, too, those who were just glad to be back. After the final bell had rung, and students and faculty alike had left for the day, Jamie Gardner claimed, “I couldn’t imagine going to school anywhere but Byrd.” V-I-C-T-0-R-Y!-Students GETTING TO KNOW YOU- competed for the much-de- Coach Thrash and his new sired spirit stick. students discuss what they ac¬ complished in the year. 14 Student Life
