In this book we use as the theme, Our School Community. The school is a vital part of any community. In school all children are taught how to become leaders and citizens of tomorrow. To record your memories here pictured are your school, your friends, and your community as they were in 1955-1956. THE BLACK SWAN Stall of 1956 hopes that you will like the product of their effort as much as they have enjoyed preparing it for you. They hope that this book will help you to remember the many opportunities that you have received at William Byrd High School. l i ' - , Q. vi ,ff I m - UMM BYRD Hltn I 335:15 I A E W' ,W sqm. :1unliiilR sn rs , A - L ., s-.ref lf'.fX m Hx., if ,LJ Emo MN: X mf wg 5 '- Liz.

That is the motto of this line Southern lady to which we wish to dedicate this annual. She has always been a help to those in need, guiding them down the right paths to make their lives more useful. She has taught us our wonderful heritage of American citizenship through her history class. Through her work in the Parent-Teacher Association, she has developed in us a better understanding of our parents and teachers. Throughout her twenty-three years at Byrd she has always done more than her part in making everyone welcome. In view of these qualities, we take great pride and pleasure in presenting this the twenty-third volume of the William Byrd BLACK SWAN to Miss Sybil Marshall. 1 ff- CURRICULUM William Byrd High School is accredited by the State Board of Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is a member of the Virginia High School League. This school offers three types of courses which have been outlined by the Roanoke County School officials. These types are: General, Commercial, and Academic. The general course offers students training in agriculture, shop, home economics, and Diversihed Occupations. Students interested in business subjects and secretarial Work are offered a commercial course. Those planning to enter higher institutions of learning usually work toward an academic diploma. An exploratory course is ollered to every eighth grader entering VVilliam Byrd. Although three different types of diplomas are awarded, no special emphasis is placed on any one, because it is realized that all three are important in the making of a com- munity. lim-ll I5 Nllllllllkl fm .1 lull Nllll Illm Iilm- R1 nlga' Xlu Lame :ls l KVI ,null un- wack- .X lurgv pw! ul Hlll' Sll ulc' lll lhmglx' IS IIlIlSpr1I'1K'Ll lu xml lmm wclmnl lux HIS. 4 was l3yrd's new shop provldcs thc most modern fzlcllmllcs.

With a feeling of mingled awe, bewilderment and friendliness we gazed at the many activi- ties in progress around the school. However, as days and weeks passed life as high school students came to be the accepted as the customary status. On entering school the following year as Freshmen the group had gained more confi- dence and really felt themselves a part of high school. That year the class officers were Dean Flowers, Jimmy Bell, Rose Mary Beard, Annette Hodges, and Sandra Abbott. Our sponsor was Mrs. Selma Dickens. The year was closed with a picnic at Lakeside. In September, 1953, it was hard to believe we had achieved half of our goal-GRADU- ATION! We were led by Dean Flowers, Kenneth Wright, Suzanne Blankenship, Nancy Nichols and Jimmy Bell. With the help of our class sponsor, Mrs. Lona Ruffin, we brought to a close a successful year. After the Sophomore year time began to fly! As Juniors we realized ,that there wasn't much school life before us. We began to plan our future and reach for higher goals. Under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Jones we gave as the annual Junior Class Play, Healthy, Wealthy, and Dumb, which proved a howling success. In May we held the Junior-Senior Prom at Hotel Patrick Henry. Toward the end of the year we were honored to participate in the Cap and Gown Ceremony and the Graduation Exercises. Finally, after four years of hard work and fun, we have reached our journey's end. At the beginning of our Senior year we elected Barrie Booth, Kenneth Wright, Sandra Abbott, Dean Flowers, and Billy Setzer as our class officers. Our class sponsor was Miss Sara H. Caldwell. In October we received our class rings and launched the magazine drive. In January we presented our Senior class play, Daddy Longlegs, under the direction of Mrs. Spradley. In the spring we had our annual Senior Day picnic. Last but not least came the highlights of the year-The Junior-Senior Prom at Dixie Caverns, the Cap and Gown Ceremony, the Baccalaureate Service, and Commencement exercises. Now, we, the Class of '56, know that we have accomplished our dream. We realize that we have just said good-by to our friends and this school of which we all have become a part. We extend to our sponsors and teachers our sincere thanks and gratitude for helping to make our years at Byrd memorable and happy ones.

They soon realized that this maze of classrooms would become a second home to them. As their officers they elected Margaret Hart, Lindy Landsdown, Phyllis Gibson, Molly Pedigo, and Pete Plunkett. Miss Harris, the sponsor, saw that they got a good start in their life at Byrd. Their freshman year was led by Carolyn Johnson, Rosemary Overstreet, Peggy Gillispie, Lindy Landsdown, and Alice Huddleston. With their goal in sight, the year passed swiftly. ln the sophomore year all realized that they were at the half-Way mark. From here they could look back and see others following in their footsteps, and then they looked forward and followed tl1e footsteps of those who had gone before them. Leaders for that year were Carolyn johnson, Marvin Meador, Wanda Maske, and Molly Pedigo. Their sponsor was Miss Abbott. Now as juniors they are on the threshold of accomplishing their goal. Officers this year are Carolyn Johnson, Presidentg David Hale, Vice President, Lindy Landsdown, Secretary, and Wanda Maske, Treasurer. Miss Marshall, their sponsor, has helped all to complete a very successful year. The class will long remember their Junior Class Play presented in the spring. It was the pleasure of the Junior Class to sponsor the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, and it was an honor to cap the Seniors. Now the class goes forward as they hnish their last step before becoming The Class of ,57.,, They salute the Seniors of 1956 and hope that they may be able to set as good an example as they have set for them. +1 212 lie Qltlli JXNIJRICWS AIICAN AHIIOTT .los ARRINGTIJN PATSY ALBERT l,IiwIS BARIQR RACIIIQI, .XLTIQIAL RIITII AI.'I'IcI': RUNALIJ BARRIQR PAT .-'XNImI':RSoN BARBARA li0LS'I'I-:R BIQNNY BROXYN XIARY BLAIR BOIITII BARIIARA BONVLINK3 I,oRRAINI5 BRATTON IJALLAS BRYANT SYLVIA BLRNSIIJIY: -IIQAN CASII c.'lIARI.liS CIII'I I'I'NI PATTII4: CIIQIIOIIY l AYIc C LARK fll'INli Cox PIIYLLIS CooIfIcR RVIIY Ci0Ol'liR INA XIAIAJ Cox I.IcwIS Cox BARBARA IDONAIIVIC BI'1'l I'Y FI-:Rc:I'SoN RIIIINIQY DALIIoI'SI: xll'NI'1 I'xlikGUSON NANCY FISIIIQR XYLP1 l II,SoN PATRICIA FITZGIcRAI,Im SANDRA Fl'l'ZliI'lRAI.ll PIIYLLIS GIIzSoN BARIIARA COAII RImIcR'I' l oI I'z uniors -232 ill P Rom-:R l l'Rkmv x'IOl,li'I'c:Rl'Il'1N RmxlcR'rG1nsoN NIAR'l'lm .XNN lIA1.l-1 IDAVID ll,u,1': Sul: H,x1.l-1 Nl,uu:,uuc'l' HART xVlI,l,IAM ll:-:fum NANCY HARKQIAYS AIUYVIC Hl'IA'l'H l,AXlIJ llx'lfrxl,xN lilscm' Illcnlurk lll-11.1-LN IIOIADRICN .Xl.IL'l'I lll'DlJI.liS'I'0N QXIIARIJIS IDITINKIS .XxmN141'1 1'l-1 HVIIKQINS Xlmu' l,r11':lh'N'l' Baum' NIICAIJOR C'Akol,YN .IOIINSUN Xlmclux IAANIIK x XIAIUIN Nlluxmm l,1Nm' l,,xNnslmwN .lANr1'1' 1,111-1 Snlkmgx' XIARTIN ll,xRo1.nNI12kk1MAN XYANIIA XIASKI-1 DQNNA xk'.'XI.I,IS'I'l'lK QI.

Students desiring to be on the stall' make application. They are carefully selected for their ability to write and their desire to be on the stall. 'l'his select group has done a wonderful job in making this one ol the best annuals yet. The presentation of the 1956 B1,AeK SWAN will conclude another year of hard work on the yearbook. Xlany are the first drafts, copies, and rewrites that have passed from our pencils and wearily clicked out on the typewriter. There was sorting of pictures, arranging of ads and all sorts of tasks to be done before the annual went to press. All this work to be done just because the staff wants this year's Annual to be the best ever. They want it to be a book with many pleasant memories, maybe a lew sad ones, but especially the good times of this year. Norma A., -Iudy M., Barbara B., David G., David H., Amonette H., Xlary B., ,Indy R., and Kenneth YV., had the un-eye-appealing job of sorting, identifying, and arranging pictures. Lorraine B., Janet C., Annette H., Dean F., and Anna T., juaaled some big wards, out of the dictionary, and came up with some good articles on the clubs and classes. Shelby C., Janet R., Klarlene J., Becky H., Norma A., and Nancy N. all did time with the typewriter. Elmer U., Tommy P., ,loycc YV., Curtis G., Catherine S., Ronald li., and Nlargaret H. helped do all the odd jobs that seemed to pop up. Probably the busiest couple on the staff was Shelvy Plunkett and liilly Setzer. Shelvy was business manager and Billy was editor. Of course, the annual wouldn't have been possible without Nlrs.

S ponfor The Byrd Erho, the school paper, is published every two weeks by thirty energetic students and one hard-working sponsor. The paper contains eight pages except when there is a special issue, such as Christmas, in which case it is larger' Packed into these eight pages are the latest news items, sports articles, editorials, features, drawings, pictures, and ads-all items of special interest to the students and faculty of William Byrd High School. The stall: meets once a month to discuss problems which have arisen in the production of their paper, special activities which they will undertake, and the purchase of any important items for their office and paper. These meetings arc held in the newspaper office where the paper is published. The newspaper staff has a new machine to print their paper this year. It is a multilith machine, and every issue of the paper with the exception of the first issue has been run on it. livery Monday, prior to the Friday publication date of the paper, the reporters turn in their articles. Each reporter has a beat with the exception of a couple of feature writers, who write special articles. Tuesday morning the articles are typed so that the dummy may be made Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday finds the typists and artists hard at work on the masters. These masters are run ofl on the multilith machine Thursday afternoon and night. If there has been no mishap or delay fand this seldom happensl, the papers are stapled Friday morning. Friday afternoon about three o'clock the staff members sally forth with an armload of papers to try their luck at salesmanship. Other than the continual work of publishing a bi-weekly paper, many other activities were undertaken by the Byrd Erho Staff. A visit was made to the Roanoke World-News plant. The officers of the Newspaper Staff also visited the journal- ism departments of several Roanoke area high schools. The Byrd Echo is a member of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, and several delegates were sent to the S. I. P. A. convention which is held in Lexington at Washington and Lee College. The stafl' will also have its annual outing in the spring. The Staff members try to turn out the best paper possible. Encouraged by the increase in sales, they are continua ally striving for improvement. They hope that you have enjoyed the 1955-56 Byrd Echo.

VVhen our school was called Yinton lligh School this publication was called The Roaeoziin from the first syllable of Roanoke, County, and Yinlon. When the new school building was completed in 1934 and called William Byrd lligh School, the name of the annual was changed to r-PHE BLACK SWAN, the nickname of William Byrd who was so-called because he was always immaculately dressed, usually in black. The newspaper stall publishes the bi-weekly newspaper, The Byrd Echo. In 1934 the name of the newspaper was The .llaroon and Orange and in 1935 it was changed to The Swan. For a period of time it was called The Byrd High Flyer and finally in 1939 it was changed to The Byrd Echo which name it bears today. -'Cf 62 lie Hi -Y Club OFFICERS CURTIS KIRBY .... .,.....

In this endeavor, they seek to understand jesus, share His love for all people, and grow in the knowledge and love of God. This purpose helps to ad- vance the physical, social, intellectual, moral, and spiritual interest of the young women. Y-Teens engage in many activities and social services. Some of these have been a slumber party, the Sweetheart Dance, and collecting food and clothing at Thanksgiving and Christmas for welfare help. Being a Y-Teen is not all 'gjust having fun.'l Instead a Y-Teen learns how to be a leader, to plan programs for their monthly meeting, and to engage in community activities.

The win gave the first team a new name. They were nicknamed Iron-Men by local sportswriters since the five starters played the entire game. The Terriers then entertained the Demons of Christiansburg on December 6 and trounced the visitors 72-41. Barrie Booth poured 18 points through the nets as the team played one of its best games of the season. Bedford High came to Byrd on the night of January IO and returned home with a sound 70-47 defeat in their pockets- William Flemingls Colonels followed suit three days later as they went under 55-45. Big center Barrie Booth pumped in 29 points to spark the team to its first basketball victory over the Colonels in two years. He had able help from Billy Setzer with 18. Andrew Lewis was the next victim on the night of january 16. The Wolverines went down under a 55-40 count as forward Billy Setzer hit for IQ points. Barrie Booth had I2 for his night's work. All good things must come to an end however: and the Terriers found this to be very true as they went down to their first defeat of the New Year. The Rad- ford Bobcats whipped them 59-45 on january 18. Two days later the team traveled to Martinsville and was defeated again 61-55. After taking their mid-term exams the Byrdmen hit the victory trail once more with a 55-50 victory over Radford on the night of january 31. Barrie Booth pumped in 29 points to help the team avenge an earlier loss to the Bobcats . Three days later the team traveled to Rocky Mount to hand the Franklin County Eagles a 52-39 setback. Booth was high scorer again with I9 points. The next night was an unfortunate one for the team. They not only lost a close 53-52 decision to jefferson, but lost Booth for the rest of the regular season. ln the second quarter he twisted his knee and had to be carried from the floor.

They traveled to Salem on the night of February 7 and whipped the Andrew Lewis 'KWolverines'l 45-39. Billy Setzer, who played in Booth's position, made 23 points while Lewis Baker added II. The team then journeyed to Blacksburg February 2I and was upset by the lowly Indians 55-52. This setback ruined the hopes of the team to compete in the District Six tournament in March. The last game of the season was another defeat too: this time at the hands of powerful Drewry-Mason 70-47 on the night of February 24 in Ridgeway. Although the team didn't get to compete in the tournament they still compiled the best record of any basketball team here at the school in several years. They had a fine 5-I record in the City-County area with wins over Jelierson, Fleming and Andrew Lewis. The team tied jefferson for C-C lead. Over allg the team won I3 games losing only 7. They won eight games in the district and lost six. Even though the Terriers are losing such veterans as Booth, Setzer, Bell, and Agner via graduation, they are looking forward to greater and better things next year.

These classes are intended to help the students keep their bodies physically fit. The boys' and the girls' gym classes alternate between use of the gymnasium and the Physical Education lecture room. In the lecture room they have classes on various subjects such as personal hygiene and First aid with film strips. In the gymnasium, each class begins with exercises followed by the sports of that season. In the fall, dodge ball, tumbling, re- lays, and volleyball are played. Square dances, formation marches, and basketball are par- ticipated in during the winter. Girls' basketball is played intramurally by teams from each class. Each of these teams has a coach, a manager, and a captain. The classes, in spring, play volleyball, softball and learn skills in track. Various skills are tested each spring and fall to determine the advancement of each student, these records are sent to the state educational offices. SPRING SPORTS Each spring Byrd athletes don track shoes to begin their work. The Byrd track team hopes to make a good showing in District Six Competition under the capable guidance of Mr. Tucker. Baseball has been planned as a part of our spring program with Mr. Ragazzo as coach. -'El 89 E1- 11 ,311-ff f' 'PK' D 5 l 1 f 1 . V. Cheerleaders l' IILS'I' R1111 z l.III,l ll mfwr 1.lfu,-mf!

The preliminary activities began when the Senior Class chose the candidates to compete for the honor of being Home-Coming Queen. Each member of the student body voted for his four favorites from the list of girls: Kathleen Toone, Janet Caldwell, Judy Mills, Sandra Abbott, Mildred Martin, Shelvy Plunkett, Patricia Hale, Suzanne Blanken- ship, Rosemary Beard. The identity of the queen was kept secret until crowning cere- monies just before the game. A Blue jean parade through the main streets of Vinton and the bonfire which was held on the Town of Vinton Parking Lot Thursday night served to give the Home-Coming spirit to every one. The Home-Coming Assembly was held 6th period on the football field. The cheerleaders, assisted by Mrs. Marie Spradley, had charge of this assembly. Another main feature of Home-Coming was the big Home-Coming Parade which began at 6:00 P. M. It included bands from several schools, many Hoats sponsored by different organizations, and decorated cars and bicycles. The crowning of the queen preceded the football game. The four popular and pretty girls were escorted on the field and Mayor Thurman crowned Shelvy Plunkett Miss Vinton. The other three had the honor of reigning as her attendants. The highlight of the festivities, the game between Byrd and Blacksburg, began at 8:00 P. M., on the William Byrd Athletic Field. Unfortunately, the Terriers were defeated by a score of 6-19. At half-time the William Byrd Band and Choirs directed by Mr. James Sims and Mrs. Viola Painter presented a spectacular performance that had never before been at- tempted on the Byrd Field. It proved to be a big success. The finishing touch of the 24th Annual Home-Coming was the Home-Coming Dance which was held in the Junior Building Auditorium. This dress-up affair began at 8:00 P. M. Miss Vinton and her date lead the grand march. At II :30 everyone went home tired, but happy. never to forget the 24th Annual Home-Coming here at William Byrd. 1-Pep-Rally Bound!! 2-Braving the cold to yell. 3-Cheer up this is Friday. 4- Pangy ready for re- hearsals. 5-Sharon struts at the bonfire. 6-Vaughan heads for concession stand. -:af 95 3:6 WM' www .www fi: 1 'xml lf' 'vu . -Q v 'q ' ' Q as 'J nt: 'as z call lrczll to ull'-tlu' sclmwl :xml Ilxc Community. lt was wrvsvxxtul to tlu ' 1 , ' , '- 'J 1 ' , ' .

Their theme for this year has been: Preparing our children for their future . This year Mrs. Lawrence Weaver has held the office of President. Mrs. C. A. Boxley served as First Vice President, Miss Sybil Marshall and Mrs. Norman Dowdy were Second and Third Vice Presidents. Mrs. R. G. Morgan held the ofhce of Secretary and Mr. G. W. Thurman was Treasurer. In order to make money for the support of their activities, the P. T. A. ran the concession stand at the football games. They have supported many worth- while projects such as: furnishing lunches for needy children, sponsoring the sale of accident insurance for the students, and sponsoring the picnic for the seniors and the faculty. Band Boosters Club The William Byrd Band Boosters Club consists of parents of the Band members and other citizens who are interested in the Band. Throughout the year the Band Boosters have supported the Band and helped it in many ways. They have earned money to buy instruments and supplies for the band, by helping operate the refreshment stand at the football games. The Boosters also sponsored the programs which are put out for each football game. The Ladies of the Booster Club gave the Band members a Christmas party at the Masonic Temple on William- son Road. The main project of the Boosters for 1955-56 was the promotion of the first annual Dogwood Band Festival which was held on May 5 with numerous Bands from Southwest Virginia participating. The entire year of 1956 has been designated by The Byrd Band Boosters Club as WILLIAM BYRD BAND YEAR and the goal of the Boosters Club is the securing of complete new uniforms for the entire band by Home-Coming in the fall of 1956. This year the officers are as follows: President, Mrs. C. M. Kirbyg Vice President, C. Edwards, Secretary, Mrs. E. L. Overstreetg Treasurer, Mrs. B. Tompkins.

Like many o ers, the textile industry is just scratching the surface of its own latter-day revolution. This revolution began less than a quarter century ago with the introduction of man-made fibers. Burlington Industries, which pioneered in the production of fabrics from man-made fibers, has in the space of three decades grown to be the world's largest and foremost textile concern. Burlington has continued to pioneer in the develop- ment and application of new fibers and new fabrics, and through broad diversifi- cation now includes not only man-made, but also natural fibers and countless blends of the two in its manufacturing domain. For young men and women thinking in terms of a career, the textile industry today offers opportunity without bounds in manufacturing, merchandising, research, development and design, and many other related fields.
