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. Eason, and Richard Mutter took on each other at the De¬ molition Derby. 22 COUPLE PLEASURE:- For some, spending the evening dancing was exciting.

Libraries, Books, and Burning the Midnight Oil: We ' ve All Been ... Studying To get by with pass¬ ing grades, students had to put in some long study hours. Everyone knew that the teachers at the City of Byrd re¬ quired students to work hard for their grades. We all experienced those times when we thought we were going to drop from sheer ex¬ haustion. Freshman Su¬ zanne Cost expressed her views by saying, “I hate it. I really just hate it. I guess it will help me in the future, but I can’t stand it now.” We all felt like that at times. Then there were those people who loved to study. Believe it or not, we had some of those strange creatures roaming the halls of Byrd. Junior Patty Holt claimed, “I can’t exactly say why, but I love to study.” Whatever your feel¬ ings were about study¬ ing, we all had to do it. After all, it was what made school worth¬ while. GOOD GRIEF!- Bobby Bar¬ ber crammed for next hour’s test.
