Students did things at Byrd, with Byrd and for Byrd and all for that Jacket Spirit. With few mis¬ demeanors Jackets made the school year of ‘87, 88 a grand success. Whether it was leadership, scholarship, service, academics, or scho¬ lastic achievements, stu¬ dents at Byrd participated in one or more of all these ac¬ tivities. It was a year of revela¬ tions and celebrations. Final¬ ly, the school had been com¬ pleted (new floors and all) our first magnet class gradu¬ ated, the all time Ultimate Reunion had been complet¬ ed successfully and it was the 200th year celebration of our constitution. These were among the few things that students at Byrd had to be excited about. There was active partici¬ pation in clubs, organiza¬ tions and sports by all of the students. It was a time of closeness and togetherness. Byrd was a city within a city in which the students gave each other support and worked closely with great cooperation!. “Byrd was back to stay, finally!!” said Ted Ingram, Junior Class President. It was looking bet¬ ter and better every day and great things happened - just for the Sting of It - at C.E. BYRD. LOOK OUT! Byrd parents helped WHO’S UNDER THE PAPER? Mar FUN! FUN! FUN!

The spirit of our school lasted all year around. Ever¬ ything from fishing, boating, and watersports, to camp¬ ing, getting a tan on the beach, or just relaxing were some of the things done. Even though we would have to worry about home¬ work and getting up early, we were glad to get back in school and be together once again. Penny Smith com¬ mented, “This summer was a killer, but I was glad to get back,” While some students did not have many worries, oth¬ ers held fulltime jobs. This responsibility was just as great as attending school. “After some days of school and then on to work, I barely got any free-time.” said Monica Whitcomb. “Summer was great, but it did not last long enough,” complained Shawn Wals- worth.

Sound familiar? Well, it was all part of the first day of school. For a lot of stu¬ dents, freshmen and seniors alike, it was their first year as Yellow Jackets. For oth¬ ers, it was their annual re¬ turn to the City of Byrd. At the opening-day pep rally, students talked about their many summer adven¬ tures before the pep-squad, cheerleaders, danceline, and band showed how all their hard summer work paid off. Among the new faces were freshmen Wayman Stewart, Michael Lamen- dola, and Nicole Ramirez. Some of the upperclassmen who appeared at Byrd were: Jackie Burns, Jon Soul- Payne, and Wade Burnett. Senior Keely Verges com¬ mented, “Looking back on all my first days of high school, I’m glad they were at Byrd. That just goes to show that our Jackets really were into The Sting of Things! -j t J A C K E T S! Students cheered as the pep-squad, danceline, and cheerleaders performed on the first day. IMPRESSED Spencer Lee lis tened as his teacher explained the accomplishments for the year. ANXIOUSLY WAITING Dena Law rence awaited her first assignment for Gusher. 12 STUDENT LIFE PHONE CALLS AND MORE That was all part of Mr. Thomas’ first day of school. GETTING READY The band pre¬ pared to practice for the pep rally at the first day’s end. BOOKS AND MORE BOOKS- Coach Cathey and friends count¬ ed and sorted books in preparation for the first day of school. CONFUSED That was the look we got from Jamie Hendrix even when it wasn’t the first day of school. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 13 After Hours After that 2:15 bell, the Yellow Jackets were on their way to work, club meetings, or to do that ever so popular pasttime, studying. We caught some of the Jackets in ac tion after school, and we asked them to share with us what they liked best to do in the afternoons. Steve Dement told us he trained for the boxing nationals while Charlie Andrews manages him from Dements corner, doing all those things nec¬ essary to help Dement make those K.O.’s. Tyr- ette Herrington spent her after hours in the lab for Science Club, while Pat¬ rick Scott hit the courts to practice his famous forehand. Kati Jeter, Wanda Mur¬ ray, and Katherine Snider headed for those Golden Arches on Line Avenue where they wrapped the burgers, stacked the fries, and served Big Macs with a smile. Bobby Barber treked down town to the D.A.’s office, and that entrepen- eur, Clint Miller, spent his time at his own company. Miller said, “I serve as president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, chief cook, and bottle washer of Clint Miller’s Computer Labels. Amy Young and Pam McMullen spent many hours perfecting their bal¬ ance beam routines while Laurie Self, Sean Townes, and Trey Pierce ran through several rolls of film trying to get that great Gusher or High Life shot. All in all, Jackets con¬ tributed to the betterment of Byrd, the community, and our city after school. T,- A HELP,N( J HANDCory Rogers PERFECTION!

AFTER HOURS 15 Alive In The Hive V I C T O R Y! Go, Go, Go, Go, Go! The mighty Yellow Jacket battlecry was the heart of every pep rally. From the shy Freshmen to the boisterous Seniors; ev ery Jacket screamed the cheer that all but ensured victory for the Purple and Gold clad athletes, who were motivated by the enthusias¬ tic students. Jacket Spirit was spread throughout the city of Shreveport by car and bus caravans from the city of Byrd to Caddo Stadi¬ um. These car processions were filled with students clamoring for nothing less than a victory. BYRD students came from every corner of Shreve¬ port and each rival of BYRD had students cheering on the Purple and Gold, gener ating curiosity and respect for Shreveport’s all-time number one school. Respect was not what the Jackets were yearning for (we’ve always had that!), but conquests. After our games, when the victory flag was raised, the rest of Shreve¬ port heard the spirit of BYRD. THE PURPLE AND GOLD WAVE Cheerleader Jimbo Brooks leads the mighty Jacket wave. ENTHUSIASM-Jacket fans showed their spirit by cheering at the North- wood pep rally. 16 STUDENT LIFE RISE TO THE OCCASION- The cheerleaders built the crowd’s spirit by building GO HOME SNOOPY Jack the Jacket was helping a d y namic Pyramid.

SPIRIT 19 Passing The Time Away Where did the time go? Our citizens found them¬ selves on the go constantly, passing the time away in pleasurable and profitable hobbies. Whether Byrd mu¬ sicians practiced in a garage or played to a packed house in Hong Kong, they used their time wisely and well. Julie Tidovsky, who took voice lessons after school and sang in a trio, said, “I’m happier when I’m using my talent and am busy’’. Tim Stinson, High Life photographer, said, “I spent many nights taking photog¬ raphy lessons from Mr. Gatti. I want to do the best I can, and it’s a wonderful feeling when a picture turns out like you hoped it would! ' . Whatever Byrd students did; competing, painting, creating, or lending a help¬ ing hand, they did it with a cheerful outlook and re¬ ceived a sense of accom¬ plishment from it. They tru¬ ly passed the time away-do¬ ing things for others. PLAYING IN THAILAND, Meredith Carlisle, junior, played with the Cen¬ tenary College Choir last summer when they toured the Orient. Mer¬ edith, who has won many musical awards, was the only high school student chosen as an accompanist. FUTURE JACKET. Jon Soul Payne baby sat his brother. Keaton, who plans to be at Byrd in 2002. Their Mom, Karen Carlson, was editor of the 1963 Gusher. Yon said, I really enjoy keeping my brothers. You should hear them yell. “Go Jackets, Sting ’Em!’’. 20 STUDENT LIFE THE SOUND S THE THING. Jeff Gar ner, David Putsch, and Jason Garder put in many hours inside the Putsch garage perfecting that special sound. They passed their time learning new songs and getting their band ready to perform. TAE KWON DO TO YOU, TOO! David Me Dermott spent his summer and ex tra hours getting to be a master at the ancient martial art, Tae Kown Do. He became so good at the sport that he won many ribbons and events. No won¬ der everybody wanted him on their side! ON THE FINAL LAP. Joe Ferguson, junior, pedals the last lap of a triathlon race. Ferguson has consistently placed in meets for the past several years. Noted as one of this areas outstanding swimmers, he swam in the National Swim Meet held in New York last March. PASSING THE TIME AWAY 21 Night Life Kids at Byrd spent their weekends and night life doing all sorts of things. From the nuttiest of playing video games to the most serious of work¬ ing a night shift job. Some enjoyed pigging out on Mexican food and then afterwards going for a yummy chocolate chip double stuff cookie from the Cookie Company. Several even liked to real¬ ly relax and go for a nice quiet ev ening out at the movies. Whatever it might have been though, movies, work, video games, or even sleep, Byrd students had well rounded weekends and exceptional night life. Even though the stu¬ dents at Byrd put their all into school during the week; they all still had time to go out at night and just have a good ole’ time. Hanging out with friends and doing your own thing was what Yel¬ low Jacket Night Life was all about. COKES FOR SALEI-Charlie An drews spent the dusk hours at the check out stand in Andrews ' Grocery. COOKIES-Sarah Harper, Ca¬ meron Griffeth and Hobsin Ho¬ gan had to cure the night time hungaries. 22 STUDENT LIFE CHIPS AMD HOT SACJCETod Pierce, Jason Pierson, Clint Miller, and Amy Pslamonds pigged out at Los Amigos.

Fads And Fashion Jean Jackets, rope bracelets, stone washed jeans, bows, flat tops, hightops, mini skirts, tie dyes, ankle boots, duck- heads, Jacket Sting ' Em T-shirts and boots were, to say the least, the most in style choices of clothing for the year 1987 ' 88. Where could all these fine ex¬ amples of style be found? Look no fur¬ ther than the halls of C.E. Byrd where students who were dressed to kill could be found. Jacket taste and Jacket style were prevelant and seen on all types of bodies around the school. No longer did kids have to go to Dallas or New Or¬ leans for fashion ideas; all they had to do was take a look around them and see what was in and what was out. JEANS Trey Pierce, Calvin Lester, Chris FLAT TOPS Jason McCarty, Jon Sole Payne, Landman, Michael Farley, and Lee Bowen and Joe Ferguson had the hair! Smurfed jackets. 26 STUDENT LIFE STRAIGHT LEGS!

FADS AMD FASHION 27 Getting Prepared The Boy Scouts and their motto “Be Prepared’ had nothing on the Jackets this year, as Byrd citizens were prepared for any and all even¬ tualities. From getting taped before a game to voting for class elections, students were ready, willing, and able. However, Shawn Oden said that the hardest thing she had to do every school day was, “Opening my eyes and strug gling to get up!” La Tora Grant said, “I don’t know of any group who worked harder than the danceline. When I think of those long hot summer hours of prac¬ tice, I feel weak.’’ When Lee Ann Winn was asked about preparing, she said, “I’ll never forget those Gusher dead lines. It’s a wonder we don’t all have ulcers! ’ Of course, Jackets of all ages, sizes, and descriptions spent the major¬ ity of their time preparing homework, for tests, and for other academic endeavors, but, as Charles Griffith said, “After all, isn’t that what school is all about? Isn’t that really why we are here?!?’’ GO, GO, GOI-Freddie Tremmel gets ready for a game as Coach Branded tapes him up.

ON TIME Estelle Adams, as well as many others were always on time for the lunchtime rush. GETTING PREPARED 29 Prom 1987 In the spring of 1987 the junior class spon¬ sored their annual Junior- Senior Prom at the Holi- dome. The attire worn by many of the students was not as traditional as in years past. Many of the girls wore mini dresses while the others still stayed with the original tea length or full length prom dresses. The boys even got into the act of changing their traditional tux into that of splatter painted tails to duck printed cumberbunds. The mood was set by a candle lit room and soft music played by Dorsey Summerfield and the Po¬ lyphonies. Jana Parker made the comment, “It was a nice way to spend the evening. I had fun!” A court was selected by the Juniors and sen¬ iors attending the prom. The court consisted of King Willie Henderson, Queen-Susan Gaar, Prince-Jason McKnight, and Princess-Sheron Frost. Queen Susan Gaar said, “This is an honor, I’m so excited.” Miss Fitz¬ gerald commented, “I ' m proud to have such a fine group of students and to have them represented by the court that we have here tonight.

Also on the court were Maids Kelly Jones, Nikki Williams, Victoria Franks, Sounja Thompson, and Sheron Frost. The court was presented in an assembly at school and at the halftime ceremonies. They were also honored with a reception fol¬ lowing the assembly. The game was played at Caddo Stadium with the Jackets defeating the Fair Park Indians 28 20. The game was followed by a flag raising and many other after game activities. The following day also proved to be exciting. The Gusher staff sponsored the Purple Pumpkin Party. The dance was held in Byrd’s gym from nine until one. Pic tures were taken by Cowens. The Insatiables pro¬ vided the music for dancing. The dress was formal. The Jackets were there to party and it was a night to remem¬ ber! FINAL TOUCH Miss A KISS FOR THE SWEETHEART.

Have you ever waited till fifth hour to do sixth hour’s homework? And how many times did you wait until 6:30 Friday night to get a date for the game? If you answered any of these questions posi¬ tive, then you join the elite ranks of the Yellow Jacket Procrastinators. Studying can be a real damper, after all there is a life to be thought of. Activi¬ ties such as football, Key Club, basketball, NHS, eat¬ ing, talking on the phone, and most important of all, sleeping. Deadlines can be another unfortunate aspect of life. Every day we are forced to wake up at some unbelievable hour to come to school. Our first deadline is 7:40 a.m., for this we can¬ not be late, unless we want to venture into Mr. Thomas’ office. If you tour the halls of BYRD, you will find students running to class, studying in the bathrooms, and maybe you will see me writing this copy trying to make MY deadline! Watch and see! 38 ACADEMICS PLEASE- Jill Parker gave her opin- OH NO!- Is Derrick Eason late ion about this hot practice day, AGAIN? while Suzanne Cost objected. FUNNY HUH?- Does Amber Wal WHAT?- Clint Searcy forgot his lace think it ' s funny that she let deadline again! Cinnamon’s project burn? AT THE LAST MINUTE 39 Excuses Needed ... Good ex¬ cuses! If teachers were plac¬ ing advertisements, that would have been the one! Excuses were heard by teachers, coaches, and stu¬ dents alike, starting in Sep¬ tember and ending ... well, they didn’t. Let’s face it, excuses were a must when a student for¬ got his homework. Mrs. Bowdon, journalism teacher said, “One of the classic ex¬ cuses that I hear the most is ‘I didn’t know we had home¬ work, are you sure?’ Never mind that the assignment was on the board. Of course, the answer to that is, ‘Golly, I must need glasses, I didn’t see that!’’ There were many excuses for not getting a report. One student said, “I ran out of gas on my way to the li¬ brary,’’ while another said, “I couldn’t find a pencil or pen in my house.” The dress code posed an¬ other problem for students. This year, it was supposed to be “cool’’ to be sockless, but the School Board felt otherwise, so many teachers found themselves hearing excuses like, “I really have invisible socks” and “Gee coach, they must have slipped down into my shoes.” Gum chewing, another ta¬ boo, was the cause of many excuses, as ”My jaws have to be exercised three hours a day” or “My orthodontist said I have to chew gum be¬ cause it loosens my teeth.” All in all, excuses added to the richness of school life. Think of how it made those creative juices flow!

EXCUSES 41 Speaking Up And Speaking Out “Listen, I need to tell you about this. “What’s the bat¬ tle cry? “I know the an swer! were some of the phrases heard this year as the Jackets spoke out this year in class, on campus, and in the community. What a year for speaking out! Louisiana elected a new governor in one of the most dramatic elections in history and Byrd citizens worked in various campaigns. Scott Crichlow and Victoria Franks worked in the Buddy Roemer campaign while John Politz worked for Billy Tauzin, and Stacey Williams supported Edwin Edwards. Victoria said, I was so ex¬ cited when Edwards with¬ drew from the campaign and Roemer was elected gover¬ nor without a runoff! I couldn’t believe it, I don’t think that’s ever happened before. Students heard Judge Fred Sexton speak on the re¬ sponsibility and obligation of being a Byrd Citizen during a special DAR assembly in honor of Mark Stephens dur¬ ing November. Jana Parker commented, “It made me feel very proud and honored to be a student of Byrd. He obviously loves this school and I was very much im¬ pressed when he referred to this school as a legend.

SPEAKING UP AND SPEAKING OUT 43 Magnet Attraction And did it ever! The pro¬ gram began in the fall of 1984 with about 35 stu¬ dents. This fall 338 enrolled in the program. Students have the best of both worlds-a strong aca¬ demic program and an op¬ portunity to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities. Admission is on the basis of the California Achieve¬ ment scores, grades, person al interviews, middle school recommendations, and par ent-student contracts. Every year, Magnet stu¬ dents recruit in junior high schools throughout the sys¬ tem. Clay Pendegrass said, “I remember sitting in the auditorium at Middle Mag¬ net and hearing Keely Verges and Willie Henderson talk about Byrd, and I thought that’s where I want to go. Then, Last year, I got the opportunity to tell others about Byrd. I know of no oth¬ er school which offers such a program.” This year, the first Magnet class will graduate. 41 stu¬ dents will leave their mark on Byrd. WHAT DO YOCJ THINK YOU’RE DOING Mr. Meekins wondered what Elizabeth Lowe and Stephanie Rowell were really doing instead of classwork.

KEEP QUIET WE RE STUDYING Monica Trahan and Becky DePriest studied in the library and didn ' t want anyone to bother them. MAGNET 45 Keeping The Hive Humming Byrd functioned well because of all the people who worked behind the scenes helping to make this school as great as it is. In the offices, the halls, the cafeteria, and out on the grounds many people worked long and hard to make Byrd run efficient¬ ly. These people who gave so much extra effort are to be commended, for they are truly some of the best citizens of Byrd. Mr. Charles Ravenna who headed up the Ulti¬ mate Reunion is one of these people. He’s now gathering Byrd memorabilia to house in a special Trophy Room. He’s pictured hold¬ ing one of these items: a pep squad jacket which belonged to John Caver- lee’s grandmother. An example of the dedication of our staff is Mrs. Stella Donald who was in charge of book¬ keeping. She took in all monies and issued all checks. Scott Crichlow, High Life business man¬ ager, said, “She does the work of five people, I don’t see how she does all that she does.” HANDY MAN! Mr. Horn smiles at the camera before he gets to work.

They worked hard aca¬ demically and were prepared as well in extra¬ curricular activities for the colleges and uni¬ versities they planned to enter in the fall of 88. Such choices as SMU, Ole’ Miss, Univer¬ sity of Alabama and LSU were to be the desti¬ nations for many.

There wasn’t a boy in the vicini¬ ty (and no girls for the boys either). It was a time of work, learning, and good ole fun. Pelican State was a make believe state com posed of parishes and cities. “These cities and parishes were run by play like officials elected to office by Girl and Boy state Citizens”, said Vic¬ toria Franks, mayor of Ascension City. The days were long and the nights were short. “I usually got to bed between 3 and 4 a.m. and then woke up around 6 a.m.”, said John Rutledge, House of Repre¬ sentatives delegate. “It was hard work, but well worth the experience.

Byrd Math Science Magnet graduating class was in full swing during their last months at Byrd. These students were busy all four years making history, because they were the product of the new program at Byrd. The Magnet pro¬ gram originated in 1984 with few par¬ ticipating students and grew to near 500. These students had opened the doors and set the path for all other Magnet students who would follow. Congratulations were in order for those graduating Magnet students of 1988 who started the Magnet pro¬ gram. Thanks!

I plan to go to LSCI Baton Rouge and major in accounting. Sheron Frost “Live each day so that you will neither be afriad of tomorrow, nor ashamed of yesterday.” The impression Byrd has left on me is that you learn the most out of life by living it one day at a time.

Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes And a brain to use if you would. With this equipment they all began, So start for the top star and say, I CAN. Look them over, the wise and great, They take their food from a common plate. And similar laces they tie their shoes, The world considers them brave and smart, But you ' ve all they had when they made their start. You can triumph and come to skill. You can be great if you only will, You ' re well equipped for what fight you choose, You have legs and arms and a brain to use, And the man who has risen great deeds to do, Began his life with no more than you. You are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place. You must weigh where you want to go, How much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but He Lets you decide what you want to be. Courage must come from the soul within. The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out yourself my lad.

This award was given annually to the senior who the Council judged to be the best representative. 106 PEOPLE SMILING FACESMs. Fitzgerald NOW HEAR THISCoach Cathey and Mr. Thomas laughed and talked spoke to all the sponsors of the dif together at the football games this ferent organizations at a special past year. meeting. ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS Roy Thomas served as assistant prin cipal in charge of discipline and admin¬ istration this year. He has been back at Byrd for two years now, after leaving Broadmoor in 1986. He taught at Byrd from 1974-1984. He made sure that stu¬ dents followed the rules this year con¬ cerning socks, shirts, and many others. Mr. Thomas received his B.S. Degree at Grambling State University and his M.S. Degree from Southern University. Miss Jerry Malone was the assis¬ tant principal this year in charge of the Math Science Magnet students. She graduated from Byrd and did her practice teaching here also. She has been the assistant principal for the last 8 years, and has worked with the Magnet for 4 years.

ADMINISTRATION 107 Teachers The City of Byrd received fourteen new teachers this year to add to our oustand- ing faculty. This faculty of 71 members has been recog¬ nized individually and as a group, to be tops in its field. Our teachers were our friends who guided us to seek a more mature life. They were instrumental in all our achievements, help ing us to lay the foundation for higher and finer values. In addition to academics, they taught us that life must have a moral basis. In today s world, an edu¬ cator must judge the merits of what he teaches, and our teachers surely did that. Mot only did they convey subject matter, but also ideas and values as well. In science, we learned to look at life with a discriminating eye; in foreign language and history courses, we learned that peoples of the world are si- miliar; and in advance math and English courses, we learned how to be humble! Teachers were the driving force of our learning. Throughout the years they have changed their methods and materials to meet the challenges of new ideas and demands which society has placed on us, their students. We will be forever grateful to them for their discipline, devotion to duty, and their drive to make us excell.

Mrs. Johnston worked with the Magnet students while Mrs. Rhodes and Mrs. Vaughn worked with the re¬ maining students. They worked hard rearranging schedules, helping students pick career fields, and giving various tests such as the PSAT NMSQT, SAT, and ACT in order to prepare stu¬ dents who were heading off to college. Each and every counselor did their very best to help Byrd students with even the smallest problems. There’s no doubt about it, this year our counselors were the greatest.

She also kept the fund raising projects in order and the financial re¬ cords straight. Ms. Wiggins made many phone calls, and scheduled appoint¬ ments and many other things such as typing let¬ ters along with Mrs. Du¬ pont. Mrs. Stephens could always be found in Mr. Thomas’ office carrying out her duties by making many phone calls and writ¬ ing letters informing par¬ ents of their students’ pro¬ gress.

By doing this you gain points. Once you have ten points, you are inducted into the society. The Thespian Society is not only found at Byrd High School. It is a national hon¬ orary club. The Thespian points you make in high school carry over with you to college and from there on out. An induction ceremony is usually a costume party, where you come dressed as your favorite person.

NHS ACADEMIC DECATHLON 129 Forensic This year the National Fo¬ rensic League of Byrd High School was very busy. Not only did they spend a lot of time competing, they spent the majority of time pulling together information and strengthening their voices and speech giving patterns. Most people thought that Forensic League was either a medical club or just a debate club. Not only are they debate they are also extemporaneous, orato¬ ry, dramatic interpretation, and pros and poetry. There is also more! Aside from local competi- League tions there were also many district and state wide compe¬ titions. Micheal Corolla, this years sponsor, said that al¬ though the work was hard and the hours were long a lot of good came out of it. Sean Townes, a two-year member of the Forensic League, agreed with the hard work, but was very happy to be able to be a part of something so traditional at Byrd. Gusher wishes the best of luck to our Forensic League and we hope that they will bring home many well-deserved awards.

The Parent Teacher Student Asso¬ ciation, or PTSA, is an influential and important component of Byrd High School. The PTSA is instrumental in forming a substantial interaction be¬ tween parents and teachers. Some of its many accomplishments are host¬ ing a leadership workshop, purchas¬ ing a copier, distributing monthly newsletters, and acquiring a hotline for the school announcing upcoming and important events in the school. “We’re really glad that we have become a PTSA this year because it means parents, teachers, and stu¬ dents in association to make Byrd the best it can be,’’ said PTSA Presi¬ dent Mrs. Ellen Caverlee. Though the PTSA is a demanding and time consuming organization, the Byrd PTSA always strives to make the lives of Yellow Jackets more comfortable and better. Hats off to the Byrd High PTSA.

They also shared ideas on programs that worked well and attributed to the unique¬ ness of C. E. Byrd High School. They assisted in forming policies and admin¬ istrative procedures that af¬ fected students. The com¬ mittee also helped with pro¬ jects such as the improve¬ ment of commencement ex¬ ercises, and reports to the Student Council on meet¬ ings. They counted votes and supervised all student elections. This year’s chair¬ man was Gene Bryson. Our Student Representative for Caddo Parish Nutrition Net¬ work was Elaine Johnson.

The members spon sored a Can Food Drive and Toys for Tots Drive. They also issued lockers and park¬ ing stickers this year. Not only did they keep us in touch with our school, but they also helped us reach to the community. The Canned Food Drive helped the less fortunate have a merrier Thanksgiving. Toys for Tots helped children to have a merrier Christmas. Ana Kraszewski, parking lot moniter, said, “We have so many more students who drive to school this year than last year and it’s an ab¬ solute must to have a park¬ ing sticker. Otherwise, stu¬ dents may find that they have no place to park when they come to school.” ANY ABSENTIES? Greg Scott asks Karen Martin on his card pick up day.

Z-Club also tutored stu¬ dents at Byrd and helped our teachers with their work. And as if that isn’t impressive enough, they donated money to both our school and various or¬ ganizations in our com¬ munity. To be a member of Z- Club, each girl was re¬ quired to have a 2.5 grade point average and be vot¬ ed in by old members. To stay in, she was required to have 25 hours of ser¬ vice work. The guys were not left out of this great club either! Guys were se¬ lected by the girls to be M M Buddies. According to Clint Miller, being an M M Buddy was great. “I like being an M M Buddy because of the pretty girls in Z-Club!” Z-Club officers for the year were President Sauny Sewell, Vice-Presi¬ dent Amy Young, and Treasurer Claire Thorn¬ ton.

This is a well deserved honor for Mark as he was also awarded the DAR award for his leadership qualities this year Caddo Parish couldn’t have chosen a more qualified person for the position. Congratulations to Mark Stephens for his outstanding achievements! 154 ORGANIZATIONS DEVOTED CADETS! The Color Guard posts the colors at a ROTC assem bly. STANDING TALL!

The team helps out with the PROS during field exercises. The PRO test is a real challenge for PRO pledges. It is a strenuous test both physically and mentally. Some of the new PROS said it was one of the hardest things they’ve had to do. The PRO unit was commanded by Freddie Trammell. With his help, the PROS was one of the best organizations here at Byrd.

The Jackets played well against the favored Knights and behind Willie Henderson’s touchdown, they kept the game close. The Jackets also recovered a bad snap in the Knight’s endzone, but Woodlawn hit a field goal with two minutes left to scrape by Byrd. The Jackets first win in district came against the Huntington Raiders. The Jackets had several players benched, but key reserve players came through to help beat the Raiders. The Jacket defense held the larger Raiders to only two touchdowns, one coming at the end, when the game was already won. 178 SPORTS In Byrd’s third game they faced powerhouse South- wood under adverse condi¬ tions. The weather was terri¬ ble for the Jackets and had the rain not been so bad the Jackets may have pulled a win out. The Jackets started strong, scoring on their first possession, but from there Mother Nature took control and the Jackets lost a tough battle to eventual state quar- terfinalist, Southwood. The Jackets rebounded in their fourth game defeating the Fair Park Indians 28-20. The Jackets played catchup in this game and eventually turned the game into a night¬ mare for the Indians. Arlen- zia Jackson and Anthony Montgomery scored for the potent offense and Tony Wills intercepted a pass to ice the win over the Indians. The Jackets record im¬ proved to 4-5 with the win. In the Seniors last game at B.T.W. the Jackets posted their first winning district re¬ cord in several years. Jason McK night’s field goal opened the scoring, but B.T.W. stormed back to take the lead. Virgil Killinsworth had two touchdowns and Ar- lenzie Jackson eclipsed the thousand yard mark for the first time since 1954 for Byrd. Thanks Jackets!!! FOOTBALL 179 Freshmen TOP Row.

Quite a few members came back, among them Patrick Axford, Lee Bowen, Ronny Jordon, John Rem- bert, Meredith Carlisle, John Hardison, and Steven Humphries. Lee Bowen said, “Tennis is one of my favor¬ ite pasttimes. I believe this year will be the best season ever for the team.” New member Diana Hoppe said, “This is my first year on the team. I have had a good time so far, and I plan to be back next year.” This year ' s sponsor was Ms. Mary Williams. She was the tennis coach in the past here at Byrd when her daughter was on the team. She plans on being the ten nis coach from now on, until she retires. Ms. Williams said she was really excited about coaching the team again. “There are a great deal of newcomers this year. All of them will help the team in many ways.” Ms. Williams took on this chal lenge with no assistance. She will be the only coach on the court for the Byrd Tennis Team.

I don ' t think I could have ever done it without your help. Years from now we will look back on our yearbook experiences and laugh at all the times we griped, and stayed up all night. Even though this yearbook has caused me many headaches. I ' ll never regret being an editor with you two. You both are really special to me and made working on this book a lot of fun! I wish both of you the best of luck next year and remember we will always be the Three Queen B ' s. Love always, Kristen Dearest Kristen and Keely, Thank you so much for your endless support with the Gusher. The Gusher is such a memorable book, and I ' m so glad I got to share making this book with both of you. To Kristen — If you ever have to look at another ad and scream about ad copy — God Bless You!!! To Keely — If we ever make another all- nighter again, let it not be for a Gusher deadline! I love you both, and this book I will treasure with all my heart. 50 years from now may we look back at the time we spent on these deadlines and laugh. For Kristen — Oh Father, Dearest Father, might we have some chocolate cake too?!” For Keely — Here ' s to you, and here ' s to me, and if we ever disagree to _with you, and here ' s to me!” Love always, Victoria 240 ADS ADS 241 242 ADS IPB Bill C.

The student life was full of fun and happiness that all of Byrd s students participated in whether it was the night life or the after school practices, freshmen to seniors took part in each alike. . . . . . Academics was stronger than ever in the Magnet as well as in the neighborhood school. Byrd participated in Quiz bowls, Decathalons, and rallies. As usual, the Jackets completed them successfully. Sports were one of the years highlights. The football team was victorious numerous times as well as the basketball, track, and baseball teams. Our Cheerleaders, Danceline, and Pep Squad were an excellent must in cheering these teams to victories. The organizations at Byrd provided many activities, services, and fundraisers that all students and parents participated in. The people here made Byrd what it was. Each person could be himself, there were no stereotypes. This aspect of Byrd will be what continues to make it in the parish- Nothing Compares. If it were not for the support of students, parents, teachers, the people and our business community, who bought our ads and participated in our fundraisers, we would not have this book to remind you of the times we had together as students. Time is too slow for those who wait too quick for those who grieve too fast for those who fear but for those who love-time is not. Now, you can remember these times all for The Sting of Things! 264 CLOSING CLOSING 265 Edctbu Note Tlumki Eo ' Modi To The Gailm Gthff Mu. B.!
