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.

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.
