It is the function of the Virginia State Board of Education and the school boards of cities and counties to direct the public schools in accordance with these laws, and with such rules and regulations as they find necessary and desirable in providing the best school opportunities for the children of the Commonwealth. The Roanoke County School Board is composed of six members, one member from each of four magisterial districts and an additional member from the Town of Salem and from the Town of Vinton. Regular monthly meetings are held on the second Nlonday night of each month, and such other special meetings as may be necessary are called at other times. At these meetings the Board reviews receipts and expenditures, hears requests and suggestions from patrons and school personnel, determines school policies, and gives general oversight to the school program. These meetings are held in the School Board oHices in the County Courthouse at Salem. as 10 li? ...N gf- L 1 'I' .X 3 wt .4 .hh ,K Ir 6 7 '-7 .Ag ..1,u-.555 , , , 'J' QEQQYEC-iwx' f. 1 T' ful, 'kv V'-J? f M ' c ' M N4 7 I-, . ,: .:' -3 '93-, ' ,1 : ,. , ,-44.61.-.g, X- V 3241. sw 1,:1,',','.:,j.:.','s'-J'rg'- 1 ' Y. 1 7-7351 - -Z'fI-'Z::5gJQ'7 M :mL:..1-.'---1:-.--.1 ' .' .wel-,-.tt-.--'-' 1 ,.' . 1-:P Z. -g-us z ,. 5L'f:r3:: Jiafffi'-t' 3 X ' f-,:A,3-3-Gsix?- 55 -':-. fi?IIfQ'51f.'SI1 . - - V ' ' fxfvaei ' 71. ,..

AHALT, Principal DEAR SEN1oRs: You are approaching your graduation time. Some of you will continue your education in colleges, in business schools, and in hospitals. Others will enter directly into homemaking and into fields of industry. Unfortunately some of you will of necessity delay entering your chosen helds to serve in the Armed Forces. 'We at Byrd have not only tried to give each the fundamental background necessary for success in his work but have also endeavored to build behavior patterns in each that will give balance to the choices he makes in his daily living. Strive not only for success and happiness but also for service to your community. Sincerely yours, Roanoke Colle e B A g , . - Duke University, hl.Ed. XQI NIR. O. R.

U15 Smizfr 611155 History z1fi95O-51 On my way to school this morning I recalled with mingled awe and pride that only four years ago my fellow classmates and I stepped through the portals of Wlilliam Byrd, with our hearts filled with the hope that all our dreams and ambitions would materialize Within the time We would spend here. My brief mental summary starts in 1946 when we, as eighth graders, accepted our duties occasionally with heavy sighs, and carried them out, knowing that soon we would gain the rank of upperclassmen. Serving as our leaders that year were Bill Jones, Barbara Bolling, and Betty McDaniel, faithfully guided by Miss Wfood, our sponsor. The next year dawned brighter for us, we became freshmen. Bill Schuermann, Bill Jones, Virginia Scott, and Barbara Goggin, were chosen to lead us. lkfr. Thomas served as sponsor of the group. After what seemed the longest year of our lives, we were overjoyed to find our- selves sophomores. During the year Mrs. Painter was the class sponsor, and our officers were Bill Schuermann, June McGee, and Nadine Peters, and Pat Myers. It was unbelievable, but here we were with only one more year to complete our high school career. YVe wisely selected our officers this year. They were-: Bill Schuermann, Elmo Watson, Louise Dooley, and Melvin Newman. Our sponsors were lVIrs. Hood and Mrs. Poston. VVe staged our coming out in the Junior Class Play, a western comedy, The Blundering Herdf, VVe were also hosts to the seniors at the Junior-Senior prom. At the end of the year we bade them a fond farewell by capping them in the Cap and Gown Ceremony. Wie have succeeded, the goal is reached, and as we begin our last year at Byrd we wish to say thank you, to all the people who have prepared us for the road ahead.

Spomorf jurzirfr Glass Jfisfrfry The fall of 1947 marked an important milestone in the lives of some two hundred students, for We Were then enrolled as eighth graders at William Byrd. At first, everything was so different from what We had been accustomed to, but as soon as some of the newness Wore off We elected Henry Plunkett, Elmer Thacker, Gladys Craft and Faye Hairfield to be our class ofiicers. By the time We became sophomores things had changed quite a bitffor us, at least. We felt that We were a definite part of William Byrd. Our officers, Bobby Schuermann, Regina Boggess, Maxine Altizer, Leo Scott, and Rhunelle Woolfolk, served us well. Now, after three long, eventful years we are no longer considered lowerclassmen, for we are juniors, and ours are the responsibilities, the opportunities, all the pleasures and privileges that belong to any junior class. Kenneth Shaver, Martha Rodgers, Darlene Simmons, Barbara Moore, and Kenneth Ward have filled the offices of the class. To really start the activities of the year in a big Way, we presented our class play, Suzy.', We owe our success to our sponsors, Mrs. Clary and Mrs. Hood. The junior-Senior Prom and our part in the Commencement exercises promise to be other highlights. Our highest ambition is that We might fulfill the duties of seniors, as Well as the mem- bers of the Class of '5I. In the future, as We look back on high school days, it is certain that our junior year will stand out as one of the happiest. fiffiftjie The Black Swan jun Drs 'ov Row: ,1lf11.'1'r1f ,l7r1'3rr, Frznzk ,lfZf1m.f.

The club meets each Nlonday evening at 7:30 at the Y. hl, C. A. in Roanoke. Being a Christian organization, the members often have local ministers as speakers. Other programs consist of guest soloists, quizzes, and discussions. After meetings, all the boys usually go for a swim in the HY pool where they engage in water basketball or swimming meets. The club also has raised money this year by running a coat and hat checking business during the home basketball games. This has proved a Very successful Venture. The Hi-Y has charge of an assembly program each year, and is now working on a play for this occasion. Also in the planning stage is a social event-either a dance or a father-son banquet.

Class are organized into a D. O. Club which is affiliated with the Diversilied Occupations Clubs of Virginia. lilmo Watson and Lorene Thompson from the William Byrd Club are president and secretary, respectively, of the State Club. The club holds several business meetings during the year and at least two social functions, one of which is the annual employer-employee banquet. The executive committee of the club meets frequently to decide on business matters pertaining to the club. State D. O. Club pins are worn by twenty-six members of the club. The Diversitied Occupations program is a fusion of classroom instruction and actual on-the-job training. lt is a program of vocational education where the businesses and the industries of the community cooperate with the school in bringing an almost unlimited number of vocational training opportunities to juniors and seniors in our school. Each D. O. student, in addition to his required subjects Cusually twoj is trained at least three hours daily on a job where actual information related to his work-training experience is studied. This course carries two units of credit toward graduation for a successful yearis work. This program is designed to train a student for a particular job, but often a student is guided away from. as well as toward. certain Fields of work. This guidance aspect has decided value in the lives of our students. By operating a program of this nature, a student can receive training in a vocation even though he is the only one in the school who may desire it. The program is very economical because large outlays for technical equipment and buildings are not needed. -'f'f59lEe Fifty- me Tl l I il l 1 ,A MW K f i FIRST Row, l.m r 'ro' RIGHT: Flofezm' 1Vnrley, Sylvia Uzzzlfzwonzl, Norma illzlrtin, Helen.
