William Byrd High School - Black Swan Yearbook (Vinton, VA)

Page 16 text:

This year we are remembering the past by looking back through the years, to bring into the present the history of our school during the last fifteen years. In 1934, Mr. Herman L. Horn was principal and there were twenty-one teachers. The school had just moved into its new building on the hill. A new name was selected to christen our building. A committee of citizens, headed by Dr. R. H. Garthright, selected the name William Byrd and our Annual became the MBLACK SWAN,,, the popular name of William Byrd. 1 K MR. PAUL E. AHALT In 1940, Mr. Paul E. Aha1t,who had served our school as Director of Athletics, became our principal. He met the prob- lems of the war years with courage and fortitude. In this year, we can be proud of fifteen years of achievement. 9 10 In 1938, after years of discussion, the school adopted the Activity Ticket Program, so designed that every student in our school could participate in the extra-curricular activities. The program has had practically IOOtZg membership every year, and in this year of high costs, the price of the ticket has not increased. In 1939, the County School Board made William Byrd into a Five-Year High School so that our students would be older and better prepared to enter into the life and work of our community. MR. HERMAN L. HORN Black Swan
