Kenneth Holland and Margie Shaw discuss senior activities with Mr. Jennings. During William Byrd's growth, there has been one person who has stood as a guide to its faculty and students. This man as principal, counselor, and friend has inspired and understood us. It has been a difficult period in which to hold this responsi- ble position. Because of his personal character and professional excellence it has been a job well done. It is with sincere feelings of gratitude and re- spect that we dedicate this, the 1959 BLACK SWAN, to you, our principal, Mr. C'. L. Jennings.

ADMINISTRATIG There are many phases in a school's growthg important among these is the administration. As facilities at William Byrd have been expanded through the years, its administration, too, has been increased from the original twenty members in 1932 to ap- proximately xtorty teachers in 1958. In the classroom, on the football field, in choirs and band, or in any phase of school life they are to be found guiding and directing students in an effort to help them onward. Theirs is not an easy task: yet they are always ready and willing' when called upon. It is this never-ending and always help- ful attitude that makes an education possible for our students. Truly, the administration is the backbone of our school. To you, the faculty of 1959, we, the students, wish to express our gratitude for the many kindnesses you have bestowed upon us this year.
