Fveryone puts in a lot of hard work to produce a good annual bI1t there is a lot of fun, too. The sponsor entertained the Stah' at her home with a buffet supper in December and in the spring they had their annual picnic. One of the highlights of the year is the trip to Lexington when several repre- sentatives attend the S. I. P. A. Convention. For the past three years the BLACK SVVAN has received an Honor Award at this convention. After being instructed by Nlr. Ahalt and Xlrs. Xloseley in regard to conduct and procedure. members of the Junior and Senior classes went out in teams of two to solicit ads from this locality. This opportunity to meet business people provides a valuable experience for the students. The Staff sincerely hopes that when you have seen this annual you will agree that its labors were not in vain for this has been its aim since school began-to make this the best annual possible. The Staff wishes to express its appreciation to the, faculty and the students for their cooperation throughout the year and especially to thank the photographers and R Xlr. Cannaday for their interest and help. ' ' I l i Q J A ' 'l 'sl X 3 5 pc 5 0 DEDICATION ff'??kY5f A Qvg it gs I K 1 2 9 Qnx' 5 'fan O 'g 4 ' W1 FQ?

THE SCHOGL WILLIAM BYRD HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM School authorities of Roanoke County have set up diploma requirements which allow our graduates to specialize in various fields. The fact that three different types are awarded is a guidance procedure rather than one in which different values are placed on any one type of diploma over another. Students planning to attend college usually work .toward a college preparatory diploma. Those specializing in business subjects earn a commercial diploma. Students who take pre-nursing, those who work under our diversified occupations program, and those specializing in home economics, shop and agriculture are awarded a general diploma. +379- SNOVV ON THE HILL 5 , ,fxyfffx .,KV,i5, iJ.fgj.v5::V?gr W .

History of Vinton Vinton, one of the earliest settlements in this part of Virginia, was first known as Gish's Niill, or sometimes called Gish's. The first railroad came through in I84O, and four years later the town was incorporated and the name was changed to Vinton, from the names Vinyard and Preston, prominent families in Vinton. Under its new government it had a mayor and six councilmeng the town's boundaries being First Street and Washington Street and extending one mile north, south, east, and west. In 1891 a dummy steam line composed of two cars and an engine, was put into opera- tion from Vinton to Roanoke. Vinton is proud of the fact that it has not had a traffic fatality in eleven years and that it has a very low crime record, a fine reflection on the townls eflicient police force. Vinton's present type of government, the town manager type, was adopted on September 1, 1936. Working for the welfare ofthe community is a voluntary type fire department with a fleet of fine, modern fire trucks. Vinton has a beautiful War Me- morial Building, built following the Second World War, and also a community swim- ming pool. Vinton's present population is 3,629, having increased by 2,ooo since 1890. A great majority of the citizens work in Roanoke and also a great number are em- ployed at the Burlington Nlills Corporation in Vinton. History of William Byrd As we look back over the past years, we see many changes that have been made at William Byrd High School. In the year 1933, the high school was moved to the new building on the hill, bearing the new name of William Byrd. This name was selected by a group of Vinton citizens and our annual became the BLACK SWAN in honor of the great Virginia statesman who bore this nickname. The enrollment that year was 451 with a teaching staff of fourteen. In 1953 there are 608 pupils enrolled and thirty- two teachers are on the faculty. The size of the school has grown, too. In 1936 several classrooms and the cafeteria were added. In 1938 the shop and music room were built. Along with these other developments, the curricula has been broadened very much over the years. There have been many additions to the list of courses, among them journalism, shop, agriculture, dramatics, speech, music, industrial arts, the commercial department, diversified occupations, the home economics department, and driver education. We have come far in the past twenty years. With the cooperation of teachers and students, we hope to make further improvements for the school of tomorrow. -ff 10 15+ Black Swan XXXX Q - Form 265 ADMITTANCE rsmrr FEI!!!-ggq:y-I Dat MAN 29 Q I ic:luL1ZfR00 lpmllwlvas a t No Q' '-1 A a f' , -l SlEfleSl?ZiiL, E133 4 s U oem um, If . 3 S E' fo S'l?f'x fel Abo:treZsor1 was ve: MQAEQOXSAQ El Stl:!Zm::1rl-lollalito cglby El Claim of student 1 Qwcnly as 'iwieptierll 'rev-Nif3 5'Z omce Rscomm gliwflllll' ox Excused absence.

RONNIE ELLISON Senior Cdoss History Once upon a time, 'way back in 1948, we-199 over-confident kidsfentered high school, only to find that we were merely scared rats. After that long dreadful year as eighth graders, we became Freshmen and chose as our leaders Betty Pedigo, Don Tingler, Mae Lee Overstreet, Jack Basham, and Joyce Young. Our sponsor was Mr. Allen Thomas. Then, being Sophomores and accustomed to the routine of high school, we elected Johnny Sandridge, Don Tingler, Stafford Meador, Betty Pedigo, and Lewis Journell as officers. That year our sponsor was Mrs. Anita Reynolds. Almost before we knew it, we were Juniors. We got the year off to a good start by presenting the Junior Class Play, Meet Corliss Archer, with Carolee Silcox playing Corliss. Our officers for that year were Johnny Sandridge, Bucky Gearhart, Charlean Eanes, Guy Snow, and Shirley Grant. In the spring we had our class picnic. Then we participated in the Cap and Gown Ceremony and also the Graduation Exercises. Our sponsors were Mrs. Sally Hood and Mrs. Velva Clary. Finally, after four long years of hard work, we became the high and mighty Seniors of '53, Our officers were Don Tingler, Martha St. Clair, Gerry Wheeler, Jean Taylor and Bucky Gearhartg our sponsors, lyfrs. Velva Clary and Mrs. Betty Layman. To start the year off we had Senior Day. This was the first day we felt like the proud Seniors we actually were. Immediately we began to make plans for our trip to New York and in doing this we sponsored a magazine sale. After the mid-term exams, when we were much nearer our goal, 'fGraduation, we presented the Senior Class Play. With spring came our annual Senior Day Picnic and 'A Til the Senior Prom. Then those glorious moments, which we had D looked forward to for twelve years, the Cap and Gown Cere- 1 mony, Baccalaureate Service, and Commencement Exercises, i ' 'wt X' finally arrived. Then it was all over and we marched down the A K A A59 1 aisle, soon to find that it wasnit the end after all but only the V s 'Q' X, X b . . . gex Nyyggf' eglnning. . 1-5 k.

As we began to feel at ease in our new surroundings, we began also to see more clearly the goal we were working to attain-Graduation. Wihen we again took up our books in our Freshman year, we were more familiar with life at Byrd, and elected Helen Kasey, Frank Kelly, Shirley Lawhorn, Shelby Hale and Ed Kelly as our class ofhccrs. hir. Robert Thomas was our sponsor. As we began our Sophomore year, we found that school seemed to be a little easier. We elected Frank Kelly, Jean Garman, Shirley Crafton, Rose Painter and Ed Kelly as our officers, and spent an enjoyable year under their leadership. Qur sponsor was hir. Ferrill. Having reached the last milestone before becoming Seniors, We began our Junior year with the election of our officers, who are Irvin Carr, Jean Carman, Barbara Bell, Reba Butterworth and Ed Kelly. Our class play this year was KIeet Xle in St. Louisl' and was a big success. Next year, if all goes well, we will be Seniors, and will Wear in June, 1954, the badge of our rank, our caps and gowns.

The right to study, work and play, The freedom to sing, to worship and pray, Can only be possible when you and I 1 Know just what we want and make our aim high. We, as students must study today, If we're to have wisdom to show the way To freedom, liberty, and justice for all, Lest we, like others, to destruction may fall. Don't waste time, think of tomorrow, You will soon learn that time you can't borrow. So study hard, read and learn the facts true, And reward will be rich for me and for you. ELEANOR MUSSELNIAN A Shenoridooh Sunset A Shenandoah Valley sunset, At the closing of the day, Seems to me a perfect portrait Of God's own rare display. It captures in its beauty Valleys green with coming spring. It glorilies the mountains, And splashes gold on everything. Who has seen more glorious sight Than Shenandoah in Haming light? SYLVIA BRAGG 4- A Thought of Youth Fragile are the hopes of youth, So fragile that it takes but one blow To tumble in decay The whole great structure of today. The high hopes and dreams of youth Are what make America strong. Our strength lies not in military might, It lies not in factories great, It lies not in buildings tall, Nor in long airways straight, But in the youth of our land The future of our nation lies. Our government must not grow too strong, Nor give the leaders too much power, Lest it grow into a tyranny, Where a citizen's liberty dies. As long as we Americans have Schools where our youth may learn Of the rights and duties of citizenship There is no reason to fear The downfall of democracy, Or the conquest of the world, By some mighty tyrannical power, With its streaming banner unfurled. The tumult of the world today, ls but one of a long chain's links Of a perfect world, where a man may say What he really believes and thinks.

The plans for this year were to assist in providing a good program of recreation and social activi- ties and to encourage greater cooperation and sharing of responsibilities on the part of students, teachers, and parents. The annual Thanksgiving offering was given to the WVelfare Committee in Vinton, and each homeroom and club prepared Christmas baskets, which were distributed to the needy families in thc community.

In early August they began drilling three times a week in preparation for football season. When we arrived at school on September 5, we found that the band had assembled and was ready to play for the opening program. VVhen you looked at the band, you probably said. f'VVhere did all those members come from? If you recall, in 1949, the band was composed of I3 members, and now it has 54. You will agree that there has really been an improvement over these years. The band played at all the football games except one. It performed on the field during halfftime at those games. They prepared for these games by their regular Vilednes- day night practice and at extra drills on Tuesday and Thursday throughout the football season. At home- coming, it played for the bonfire, variety show, parade and game. Before the game, the band formed a ffl when their head majorette was crowned 'fhliss Home- for the Clifton l orge Home-Coming in Clifton Forge. The band played in various parades this year: Home- Coming, pre-election parade in Roanoke, and Santa Claus parades in Clifton Forge. Roanoke, and Vinton. Several concerts were held this year including ones at Rowland F. Cooke, Burlington, and Klount Pleasant Elementary Schools, and concerts on the lawn of the Vinton YVar Xlemorial. The band played on assemblies and at fairs at Nlount Pleasant and Burlington. The band's main concert was the Spring Concert. This year the hand adopted a method of recognizing the players that have been in the band three years or more, They were awarded a band monogram. Those receiving these awards were Betty Riley, Shirley Grant, Barbara Fralin. Doris Burger. l.el1oria Burger and Clifton Barton. One of the highlights of the year for all the bands in Virginia is the All-State band concert. This year the concert was held in Bluefield, Virginia, on February 8. Those representing XYilliam Byrd Band this year were Clifton Barton, clarinet. lid Kelly, cornet and XVayne Ayers, trombone.

The Terriers had a fine team, but due to lack of experience and small players the team did not do as well as usual. They started the season by playing Chris- Footbcl I I tiansburg.

The team was in fine shape and had high spirits throughout the game, but the Byrd team proved to be a little outclassed by Covington, when at the final whistle the score was 28 to I4 in favor of the Demons.

In the closing minutes of the game, lNfartinsville came from behind to beat Byrd again 20 to 14.

Even in defeat the boys showed plenty of scrap, consistently clogging the Christiansburg live. Roy McLeod and Don Agner hit for 7 points each. ln the Byrd vs. Jefferson game, Barrie Booth was the number one producer for the Terriers by bagging I2 points for the night. lylax Tingler chipped in with IO points and Roy St. Clair hit for 9.

Barrie Booth was again high scorer with I8 points. Some of the more notable games were Byrd vs. Fieldale and Byrd vs. Andrew Lewis. Although the Terriers stayed close behind all through the game and tried very hard, they still dropped a 49-36 decision to the Andrew Lewis Wolverines. Byrd's first win was over Drewry-lylason. The Terriers led the game all the way and the final score was 48-40. Max Tingler was high with 2I points. The Terriers fought hard this year and are looking forward to a better season next year.

The team boasted three lettermen-guard, Nina Coleman and forwards, Jean Krieder and Phyllis Snyder. The first game was a 46-36 win for the girls over Christiansburg. However they suffered their first defeat at Christiansburg, 45-47. Phyllis Snyder led the scoring in both games With I7 and IS points, respectively. The new year brought victory for the Vinton lassies, the defeated team being Radford. However, a loss awaited the hard-fighting girls at Fieldale.

Sharpshooting Phyllis Snyder was again high scorer for the three games followed by Seniors Jean Krieder and Shirley Scott. The girls bowed to Radford in their next game, 21-22, but returned to defeat the Martinsville lassies, 44-21. The team ended the season of ten games with seven wins and three losses. Top scorers were Phyllis Snyder with 221 points, Jean Krieder with I3I points, and Shirley Scott with 67 points. The team also gives much credit to the expert guarding of Nina Coleman, Carolyn Obenshain, and Jackie Stovall. Credit goes also to other players helping to make the season successful. The skill of each player, the quick guards and the sharp-shooting forwards, and successful teamwork produced a very successful season for the Terrierettes. The Terrierettes' excellent season resulted in their going to the Girls' Basketball Tournament, held at Rocky Mount. In the second game of the tourna- ment they scored a total of 72 points, the most points scored in any game during the year. Setting the pace for the Terrierettes was Jean Krieder with 32 points, Phyllis Snyder with 25, and Shirley Scott scoring IS points.

Football NUT PICTURIQD: Patrieia Ciblfzz, Girlf' Baiketball 1 to Outside Activities cmd Projects The final chapter in the history of the William Byrd Senior Class each year is the class trip to Washington and New York. Students going on the trip raise much of the expense money in a magazine subscription campaign in the fall. Some of the highlights of the trip are the visits to the Capitol, the White House, the American Museum, the Library of Congress, the Zoo, Rockefeller Center, New York churches, a Broadway show, radio and television studios, a night club, and a Big League game. Many William Byrd students learn American history on the spot where it happened, when they go on the annual historical pilgrimages to Charlottesville, Ashlawn, Monticello, Richmond, Williamsburg, and Jamestown. The two-day trip is open to students who are currently taking American history or who have had it. The William Byrd Parent-Teacher Association and Band Boosters work together toward improving and equipping the school band. The P. T. A. also contributes toward lunches for needy children, a picnic for the seniors and faculty members, a child health program, and school improvements, such as the purchase of First Aid and library equipment for the junior building. The growth in school enrollment demands expansion of the school plant. In the 1953 building program, provision is being made for three additional class- rooms, vocational shops for agriculture and industrial arts, a health education room, and dressing rooms for fall and spring sports. The long range plan includes an auditorium, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, a library, and science laboratories. Byrd will be a much more efficient school when these facilities are added. 1 f .

Hundreds Of former residents Of Vinton and many Of the alumni return home to help celebrate this special day. The plans are made carefully and the festivities are enjoyed by everyone, young and old alike. Home-Coming started Off, as usual, with a Pep assembly on Thursday morn- ing. Friday night at 6:15, a large part Of the students were on hand to back up the cheerleaders and band in school songs and yells. Following the custom, the COugar,' dummy was thrown into the bonfire. A variety show staged by the Vinton Lions Club followed the bonfire. Many students participated in this show and all proceeds went to the band. The next morning the cheerleaders and some members of the Booster Club met at radio station WROV for our Pep-Rally broadcast. Several members Of the football squad were there also, and they expressed their views On the game. That afternoon at 1 :15 the big parade began. It consisted of several bands, including our Own, decorated flfoats, pretty girls, little boys and girls with their decorated bicycles, and lots and lots of people. - When the parade reached Leggett Field, Mayor Nelson R. Thurman crowned A'Miss Home-Coming. Janis Miller was chosen queen over ten other girls from the Senior class. Her attendants were Mae Lee Overstreet, Helen Patsel, and Martha St. Clair. A very exciting game was played between the Covington Cougars and the William Byrd Terriers, Although we lost this Home-Coming, the game was not a give-away. Since 193 2, VVilliam Byrd has lost only three games and has tied two. A big dance climaxed the festivities that night. It began at 8:00 p. m. and lasted until 12:00 p. m. The Arist0crats', furnished the music and the dance was held iII the gaily decorated Junior High Auditorium. Everyone had a wonder- ful time and went home pleasantly tired but looking forward to next year.
