Practice, Working And Just Having Fun Was Life After 2:10 Rrring! The bell! Oh, that wonderful buzzing noise! It wasn’t quite musical, but, to the wea¬ ry geometry student huddled over a problem or to a senior in English wondering if Beowulf would ever end, the bell was a symbol of free¬ dom and a new life. For some students, it was “practice makes perfect.” The football team scrimmaged end¬ lessly to try to have that winning season. Junior wide receiver Harold Johnson said, “It’s hard work, but it’s worth it.” Danceline also practiced very hard. Sophomore Katherine Snider com¬ mented, “Danceline is a lot of fun, it’s just the practice that gets to me.” Other students like Amy Tidovsky and Nona Roach, had music practice after school. Practice was one way that students spent their afternoons, but, for others it was off into the working world. Me¬ gan Holmes, a junior, commented on her job at Mr. Gatti’s, “for al¬ most two years, I have watched Byrd students come in and have a good time. Some students donated their time to others. Patty Holt, a ju¬ nior, donated her time to working with the el¬ derly at a nursing home and was a big help to her church. Work, practice, and volunteering just went to prove there really was LIFE AFTER 2:15! WORK, WORK. WORK! OH WELL! Looks like Alisa Politz worked at Orange they missed the bus again! Julius to make her spending money. Life After 2:10 17

What’s In, What’s Out What was going to be in or out this year? Everybody asked them¬ selves this question be¬ fore the start of school. However, as in each new year, there was a change in style that we all had to live up to. Everybody had his own taste in fashions. Some people liked blue- jeans and a concert T- shirt, while others liked the long ankle-length skirts. Everywhere, fashions were different, but the styles were alike. This year we were introduced to leather treetorns and stirrup pants. Plaid wool skirts or pants came along during those cold win¬ ter months. Paisly pants or shirts were a familiar scene around the halls of Byrd. Guys were seen in the still popular Ox¬ fords with their shirt tails hanging out (when teachers weren’t look¬ ing). Jeans were seen on guys as much as they were on girls. However, clothes were not the only thing that made the style. New and unusual hair¬ styles “cut” their way into C.E. Byrd. The A- symmetrical cut was popular, as was a tiny braid on the side. Many people were still seen with the classic bob, while others cut it all off (or at least half-way). Guys had a variety of cuts from long, dyed tails to short, layered shaves. Just as much fashion was walking around Byrd as anywhere else. There were always those times when one was unsure of what look to project, but, overall, Jackets upheld their fashion image with STYLE! LOOK AT ME- Junior Marga¬ ret Ponder held a checkered shirt up to her to see if it was right for her style. FITTING THE RIGHT GUY- Holly Fish helped Lee Bowen find the right sweator. CHIN UP- Michelle Murrey and Jennifer Mullins show their flashy hairstyles. 18 Student Life
