Rockin’ Around The Clock At DANCES Whether it was the dream date or the one who never showed up, the right dress tux or the wrong one, dances were still some of the most memorable events at Byrd. No one can ever forget the anticipa¬ tion and excitement each one of these spe¬ cial occasions seemed to bring. There was al¬ ways some dance or party to attend, but a few were more impor¬ tant than others. Homecoming was the highlight of every foot¬ ball season. Whether we won the game or not, dressing up and “danc¬ ing the night away” was still fun. Girls donned taffeta, satin, and silk semi-formals, and the guys wore sportscoats or suits. “Going to the dance itself was O.K., but the big spirit cor¬ sage I got made me the happiest,” confessed Ju¬ lie Tidovsky. Sponsored by the “Z” coub, Sadie Hawkins was the chance for girls to ask their favorite guy out, and foot the bill. Ja¬ mie Gardner stated, “Getting ready-buying shirts, setting up-al- ways seemed a lot of fun, until I got to the dance itself.” The dance everyone wanted an invitation to was The Prom. It was held on the River Rose on March 25. The dress was formal, and a mood of romance was in the air. Although each dance won’t be remembered, the special times will DECISIONS- Jamie Gardner couldn’t decide which shirt to buy for Sadie Hawkins — pink or white.

Dances, Partys, Just Plan Hanging Around . . . Night Life When the sun would set on the Shreveport horizon, the students from Byrd were set on having a good time. A night of entertainment usu¬ ally started with a Burger King or McDonalds; for the big spenders, an evening at the Cadilac Grill or El Chicos. After dinner, the sky was the limit. There were the movies, dances, games, parties, driving around, and other night life. For a more relaxed evening, some Byrd students decided on staying home watching T.V. or the VCR, while en¬ joying the services of pizza delivery. Others who stayed home might have read books or done homework. One popular hang-out from the summer was Dickson Park. Another was down by the river-front. Some seasonal places to go were the LA. State Fair and the red River Revel. KARATE CHAMP:- Keith Lewis THE CHALLANGE:- Chris practiced his rusty skills at the Lacobee, Lee White, Deric arcade.
