Y Curriculum The Roanoke County School authorities have certain requirements which every student must meet before receiving diplomas. There are three different types of courses offered in our school: Academic, General, and Commercial. The Academic course offers training for those students planning to further their education in some college. The Commercial course prepares in secretarial work. The General offers training in home economics, shop, agriculture, and those Who work under the diversified occupations programs. F 1 Our school, situated on a hill, overlooks the community of Vinton and its surrounding territory. We see, on the opposite page, the Junior High School Building where we have assemblies, plays, and miscellaneous programs. Beyond the east steps the Norfolk and Western Railway Station is located. Through the archway the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains can he seen in all their beauty. Here on the hill we realize that our school environment has had an important part in molding our lives. ALONG THE WAY . . . of the Norfolk and Western Railway is located one of the earliest settlements in this part of Virginia. Our own little community of Vinton was first known as Gish's Mill. Four years after the hrst railroad came through in 1840, the town was incorporated and the name changed to Vinton. The name of Vinton originated from the names Vinyard and Preston, prominent families in Vinton. VVilliam Byrd was once known as Yinton High School and received its present name in 1933. When the school was moved to a new building on the hill, Dr. R. H. Garthright was chairman of the committee which named the school William Byrd. The enrollment has grown from 451 students and I4 faculty member in 1933, to 625 students and 32 faculty members in 1954. Our annual did not always have its present name. It was known as the Roacovin from the words: Roanoke County-Vinton. Since our school was named for a great Virginia statesman, our annual has since been called the BLACK SWAN, the nickname he gained for himself as he was always immacuately dressed in black. Our school and community have progressed rapidly over the ast ears and with the coo eration of future citizens we ho e to P Y P a P make many more improvements. 5714 .A 7 ' ' K X- ' Q, K ff: ' wif .ix W ,A fff f XM, ff 1 W WfW X., f-.

LIFE From The Three Bart Thing Let me but live my life from year to year, VVith forward face and unreluctant soul, Not hurrying to, nor turning from, the goal, Not mourning for the things that disappear ln the dim past, nor holding back in fear From what the future veils, but with a whole And happy heart, that pays its toll To Youth, and Age, and travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down, O,er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy: Still seeking what I sought when but a boy, New friendship, high adventure, and a crown, Nly heart will keep the courage of the quest, And hope the road's last turn will be the best. '-:HENRY VAN DYKE, 1852-1933 ai 27 fs? their class History-Class of '54 We, the Senior Class of '54, feel that we have come a long way since that fall of 1949. We have witnessed many changes in our life at William Byrd. Our first look at the hallowed halls of Byrd was possibly a look of uncertainty, or maybe a look of friendliness, confidence or loneliness. However, we accepted what the school had to offer and now we are thankful we had the privilege of taking part in its many activities. During our first year at Byrd in 1950 our enrollment was 138. The class sponsor was Mrs. Kathleen Thomas and our oflicers were Ronnie Hale, Helen Kasey, Ann Dooley, and Gordon Spangler. Seventeen members of our class left Byrd in 1951. Our officers were Helen Kasey, Frank Kelly, Shirley Lawhorn, Shelby Hale, and Ed Kelly. The class sponsor was Mr. Robert Thomas. By this year we had gotten a little more ac- quainted with the school and had begun to take part in its activities more fre- quently. In our Sophomore year the enrollment dropped to 101. We were led by Frank Kelly, Jean Garman, Shirley Crafton, Rose Painter, and Ed Kelly, and advised by Mr. Berny Ferrill. At our class assembly this year of 1952, We presented a fashion show featuring both boys, and girls' apparel. The Sophomore year went by swiftly and then we were Juniors. Mrs. Hood and Mrs. Jones were our sponsors while under the leadership of Irvin Carr, Jean Garman, Barbara Bell, Reba Butterworth, and Ed Kelly. lVe presented the play Meet Me in St. Louisf' which was directed by Mr. Kraus. We held a wiener roast at Fishburn Park and a small dance at the school. Ordering our rings in May, we realized that seniority was not too far away. Now, the year of '54 we are seniors. We've reached our goal. VVe received our rings in October, which was just in time for Senior Day. On this day the entire class participated in an assembly and received special privileges for recognition. We presented as our class play One Foot in Heaven which was a great success. The officers, Ed Kelly, Jeanette Cronk, Shelby Hale, Shirley Lawhorn, and Reba Butterworth have proved to be very reliable. To our sponsors, Mrs. Clary, Mrs. Akers, and Miss De Long, and the other teachers who have strived with us, we extend our humble appreciation. Last but not least to all classmates we leave our fondest memories of William Byrd. +25 28 52?

S pomor egg Qtubgi LL Ck QCNJJVQQ 'lids 'gm WK A unior Class History WLLJJ' 'LELWM Luoqrgllfe, the Junior Class, would like to tell of our experience as We have traveled through high ul school from the eighth grade. Speaking of all Who are concerned, when We entered the eighth grade, We Were definitely scared. YVe tried and succeeded very Well in getting along with our upper class- mates. VVhen class elections were held, We selected the officers of the eighth grade class as fol- lows: Phyllis Snyder as president, Joan Turner as secretary-treasurer, and Joan Medley as re- porter. Mr. Ferrill was our sponsor. At the end of the year, We had a picnic at Fallon's Park at which the eighth grade assembled. The following September, most of us entered our freshman year not so scared and a little more familiar with the rules, students, teachers, etc. We held elections again this year. The oflicers Were: Roy McLeod as president, Phyllis Snyder as vice president, Eugene Dooley as secretary- treasurer, and Virginia Seibel as reporter. Mr. Ferrill was sponsor. Again We had a successful year. As usual, We began the next school session in September. By this time We felt that We were a part of the school, since many of the boys and girls began to participate in the sports, plays, and other school activities. At the closing of the sophomore year, our officers, Roy McLeod, Phyllis Snyder, Eugene Dooley, and Virginia Seibel got together, planned, and carried out a picnic at Weavers Park. Mr. Ferrill was our sponsor that year. This year, We became Juniors. The year got off to a good start by electing Wayne Ayres, Arnold Harris, Myrtle Garman, and Betty Ward as our oflicers. In the spring We presented our class play and ordered our senior rings. We were honored to cap the 1954 Seniors and realized that soon, We too Would achieve our aims. ai 32 LOIS ANN ABSHIRE BOBBY AGEE KATHERINE ADRINS W'AYNE AYERS SANDRA BLANKENSIIIP BILLY BLAKE NORMA BRAGG C.

It is the governing body which represents the students of William Byrd. In carrying out this year's project, Keeping the School and Grounds Cleanf' it has made posters from time to time to remind the students of this important activity. The cafeteria hostesses are girls chosen by the S. C. A. sponsor. They help carry out the project for the year by keeping order in the cafeteria during their study period. At the final assembly, before the Christmas holidays, baskets of food were +25 52 las given by each home room. They were then turned over to the Vinton Welfare Department by the S. C. A. Representatives to the S. C. A. meeting, held at Colonial High School in Blue Ridge, were Frank Kelly, Toni Stark, and Roberta Silcox. They also plan to attend the State Convention on Klarch IQ and zo at Radford College. Members of this organization consist of a representative from each of the home rooms and from each club.

Until last year, wc had not had a dramatics club and it has been greeted with much enthusiasm. By participating in dramatic activities one can develop a better creativeness and may become acquainted with many things about the stage. One may also acquire a love for the theater, and may wish to continue it as a career. The main activity this year was the production of The Robell during Holy VVeek of Faster. Many worked willingly and earnestly to produce this fine play. Sponxoreel By Virginia S oath ern C olle ge, Roanoke, Virginia f, , ,tm Thespian Club OFFICERS ALLAN AULT .........,..

The aims ofthe society are to establish and advance standards of excellence in all phases of dramatic arts, and to create an active and in- telligent interest in dramatic arts among boys and girls in the high school. The National Thespian Society is an honor or recognition society in that the students are granted membership for having performed meritorious work in dramatic arts and have met the membership qualifications and standards of their respective troupes. One may become a member of the troupe by performing as stage manager, electrician, scene designer, costume, or make-up, business manager, prompter, program manager, and many other jobs other than being before the audience, provided the required number of points are earned. Thespian membership is accepted as the beginning of serious work and indicates that the student is qualilied to accept and discharge whatever task may be assigned him. Students who fail to maintain a satisfactory standing of membership are subject to suspension. The William Byrd Troupe was formed this year with twenty-live charter members. A mini- mum for six new members is required each year to maintain an active status on the national roll. Initiation for new members was held February 18th. lt is hoped that Thespian membership will create more interest throughout our school.

They have had many activities including a bake sale with proceeds going toward the Home-Corning dance. They also gave a skit in assembly before Home-Coming, and before the Byrd-Fleming game. They sponsored the bonfire for Home-Coming along with the cheerleaders. The members of this organization are the backbone of the sportsmanship of William Byrd, They help our cheerleaders bring out the pep and spirit needed to send our teams to victory. at os lie Sponfored By Blue Ridge Stone Corporation, Roanoke, Virginia 7 X KNEEl.INGZ Lorena Larger: 4Caprz1irzJ STANDING, l,1-:FT 'ro RIGHT: Pllffl-FIIII Huff.

Wvho are the girls who lead us in the yells, who get behind the teams and let them know that we are all for them, be it victory or loss? The cheerleaders. who else? They have worked hard to make our school display better spirit. If you happen by chance to be in the halls after school you would probably meet the girls going over every yell. The squad has had a busy year. They started early in the summer to get in good shape for another season of excitement and cheers. The Cheerleaders, assisted by the Booster Club, presented the Home- Coming Assembly and cheered the football squad to victory over Radford High School. The climax of the Home-Coming activities was the dance which was given by the Cheerleaders at Wlilliam Byrd Junior High School. ffl 69 if? Sponsored By Dr. Pepper Bottling Coinpiiny, Roanoke, Virginia Band Highways are happy Waysln This is especially true concerning the VVilliam Byrd High School Band. Our daily practice of marching before school opens in the fall and after school hours has done much for our band. VVe cover many miles on our tired, aching feet, not counting the hours and miles spent traveling to other areas for parades, concerts, and other programs. Our major goal is music appreciation and instruction in all forms of music. We begin with marches and end the year with symphonic works. Our programs include participation in march concerts, school opening, football games and parades, the Christmas concert, and the Minstrel. Our annual Spring Concert in April and the trip to the Apple Blossom Festival stand out as important events. Our band was represented in the All-State VVest Bands by Ed Kelly, Con- cert Band, and Carolyn Johnson, Carolyn Obenshain, John Olsen, Wayne Ayers, and Curtis Guilliams, VVorkshop Band.

Booth and Journell led the scoring. The Radford Bobcats visited Byrd and went home with a defeat in their pockets by the score of SQ to 55. Booth and lNlcLeod led the scoring with I7 points each. Our second home game was also a victory. This decision being over the Demons of Christiansburg by the margin of 63 to 46. Booth again took the scoring honors. On New Year's night We visited Radford and went down to our first de- feat. The score being 63 to 62 in overtime. The next two games we were the host of Fieldale and Drewry-Nlason. The Terriers came out with the heavy end of the score in both contests. The score was 48 to 39 over Fieldale and 45 to 38 over the Spartans of Drewry-lNlason. Then came the big game with Fleming, Whom we defeated by a 43 to 31 score in the Monroe gym. The Whole team played a very good ball game with Barrie Booth and Skinny Journell leading the way. 76 P31- Next we traveled to Fieldale and defeated them by a score of 37 to 33. Skinny Journell led the scorers in this game. Our first game of the season with Andrew Lewis produced a victory for the Wolverines. The score was 50 to 39 with Booth leading the Byrd scorers. The next two games we climbed aboard the bus and traveled to Nlartins- ville and Franklin. At Martinsville we found the potent Bulldogs too much to handle and fell before them by the score of 55 to 36. At Franklin the atmosphere changed and the Terriers copped the victory by the margin of SI to 39. Our next three games were all defeats for the Terriers-the first being at the hands of the Wolverines of Andrew Lewis by the score of 33 to 60. When the Colonels of William Fleming came to Byrd we found the taller boys hard to cope with and went down to defeat. The score being 30 to 59. When the Indians of Blacksburg invaded Byrd they went home with a victory to the tune of 45 to 54. The Terriers followed these three defeats up with a 63 to 28 victory over the Eagles of Franklin County. The Terriers traveled to Blacksburg and were defeated by the score of 38 to 49. Barrie Booth led the scoring for Byrd. When the Bulldogs of Martinsville came to Byrd they went home with a 50 to 75 victory over the hard-fighting Terriers. After this the boys traveled to Drewry-Mason. They found a scrappy team that sought ll tournament berth. The Terriers fought back but fell short by a margin of 41 to 46 with Barrie Booth leading the Byrd scorers with I3 points. On lVIarch 2, we find the 1953-54 edition of the Terriers playing their last game of the season against the Nlagicians of Jefferson. The Nlagicians did their trickery and went home with a 61 to 34 victory. The team wrote finis in the books with a 9 won and II lost season. Skinny Journell, who was graduated at mid-term, left a gap in the team that the Terriers were unable to hll. There being only one senior on the team, Owen Brown, the team is looking forward to brighter things next year. One might say that the Terriers came in like a lion, and went out like a lamb. 3 ' in f www ew ,... 'X 9 ff f -in - LQ'-, ' 5 -1f,,'fQfx.1::11 'T I: eg .5y:,gf ' 6:4 77 iz?

Much of the expense of the trip is raised by selling magazine subscriptions. One of the highlights of the trip is the day in lYashington, D. C., when students visit the Capitol and the lfVhite House. In the big city they go to Radio Music Hall, see a Broadway show, a radio or television pro- gram, take a trip around the harbor, see the Statue of Liberty, and have many other experiences. American History and former American History students have an opportunity to see historical places when they take their two-day trip to Williamsburg. The historical places visited this year were Charlottesville, Ashlawn, Monticello, Richmond, and Jamestown. In the fall of each year a magazine subscription campaign is held to give the seniors a chance to raise money for their New York trip. The three highest salesmen this year were: Carl Dingledine, Jean Garman, and Owen Brown. On March 3 the members of the Senior Government Classes made a trip to Richmond where they visited both houses of the General Assembly and toured the Capitol. +24 sz 52:- -J :JV fr' , ' .L uf X1 mx f :Vi f 1 1 L J , my , lx x XJR! wp' JVLJX, V If X ,bf .

Cheerleaders await the team to cheer them on to victory which was over Radford 21-14. HOME-COMING On Saturday, October 24, 1953, VVilliarn Byrd held its twenty-second annual Home-Coming. Thursday morning we had a Pep Assembly and everyone was excited by the events that were to take place over the week-end. Friday night a majority of the XVilliam Byrd students backed up the cheer- leaders in songs and yells at the annual bonfire. Then the Radford Bobcat dummy was thrown into the fire. A Variety Show was held in the William Byrd Junior High School Audi- torium immediately following the bonfire and pep meet. Saturday afternoon the big parade began on Washington Avenue and when the crowd reached Leggett Field prizes were given to the best decorated bicycles. Barbara Bell was crowned by Mayor Nelson Thurman as the twenty- second Home-Coming Queen of VVilliam Byrd. Her attendants were Joyce Barton, Vivian Martin, and Rose Painter. VVilliam Byrd played an exciting game against Radford and we won 21-14. Fred McLeod started the scoring and he was followed by -lournell and Conner with Kelly adding the extra points. The week-end of excitement was topped by the annual Home-Coming Dance in the VVilliam Byrd Junior High School. Music was furnished by the Aristocrats. lVIany former residents and alumni attended the game, dance and other activities of Home-Coming week.
