Daoid I/all' The B\'rd Echo, the school newspaper, is published every two weeks by a group o f hard working Students bound together by One big idea- to put O lll a paper which transmits all of the latest news and corning events o f the student body. Once every two weeks a newspaper staff meeting is held. J\t this meeting the co-ed itor gives o ut assignments to the reporters and columnists. I t takes abou t three or four days to prepare the articles. When they arc finished t hey are g iven to the t ypis ts, who type them into columns. When this typing has been done, the different columns are cut out and pasted to different sheets of paper. This is cal led making the "dummy". After the dummy is completed, it again is given to the typists, who copy it on stencils. These stencils are run o ff on a mimeograph machine. The paper is now finished, except for one importa nt step stapling. Each Fridar about three o'clock, several different people take the papers around to all o f the classrooms to sell them . This not only shows how much work goes into publishing a school paper, but it also gi,·es to the members of the staff a very valuable experience. Occasionally, the staff puts out a special issue, such as the Christmas issue and the issue fo r Seniors. The staff does not belie,·e in all work and no play, so an outing was held in the i:pring. The staff has tried to make the paper as good as possible and they hope that you. the stu<le11t body. ha,·e enjoyed it. -:~ 58 }'.> �;IJt11t1al Staff \ Vrite- ups ... dead lines ... pictures ... layouts ... more deadlines ... These a rc but a few of the problems tha t furrowed the brows of annual staff members as the BLAC K SWAN was S-L-0-\\'-L-Y jig-sawed into some semblance of o rder. The infrequent staff meetings, once a month on the second Friday, made it necessary for most of the brain and elbow work to be done in study periods. Edith 11. and Roy 0. j ogged memories and jangled nen·es as they put the senior section together. Roy l\I. pieced in the sports copr and pictures causing coaches to consult psychiatrists. Jenny S. bounced about and cajoled to patiently piece the girls' sports into one recognizable form. l\Iyrtle .\ I. , Elizabeth S., and Billy S., with the help o f Georgie P ., Peggy B. , Shirley \V., and Harold C. typed and contacted the businessmen for ads. The clu b edito rs, Lois A., Beverly L., and Patricia M ., cooperated on the club section . l\tiary Frances \ V. wor ked hard arranging the faculties' pictures in a s uch and such order. Day after day Birdie S. and Joan l\I. looked through books seeking quotations- the right one for each senior. Hershel T. looked wise and penned in the art work on the division pages. Sheh·y P. visited the Jr. Building regularly, which was quite a job running up and down those steps . .\larth a B., Editor, and .\larie S. , Business i\fanager supeffised the total chaos while .\Irs . .\loseley looked wildly around and wondered if it would e\'er be assembled into a complete ~·ear­ book. The group had a supper at .\!frs. i\Ioseley's home and a picnic in the spring. \ Vh ile school annuals were on the press, they visited Stone's to see how the product ion was actually accompl ished.

Scrib,, Troupe 1058, the \\"illiam Byrd representati ve in the National Thespian Society, brought to a close its second year here at Byrd. Un<ler the able leadership of its officers and its sponsor, l\lfr. Laurence, the troupe ha s <lo ne much to promote dramatic arts in the school. The troupe has restricted membership in that o ne must obtain a ce r tain number of points or credits to become a member. T o obta in these points a prospective member may work as an actor, stagehand , scene and costume designer, electrician or any one of a number of things connect ed with the production o f a play. \Vhen the prospective members have completed the requirements, they are admitted to the troupe in an impressive in itiation ceremony which is conducted in a school assembly. Thespian membe rship is accepted as t he begin ning of serio u s wo rk and indicates that the student is qua lified to accept and discha rge whateve r task ma y be assigned him. Students who do not maintain satisfacto ry s t andi ng in the club may be suspended . The twenty-six members of this year's edition o f Troupe 105 8 ha\·c indeed had a wonderful time and profited much by workin g toward the goal o f the a tio nal Thespian Society: "To establish a nd adva nce stan<lar<ls of excellence in a ll phases of dramatic arts, and to c reate an active and intell ige nt int e rest. in dra 111atic arts among boys anJ girls in the high sch0c1l.''

These students have come with the desire to learn-the desire to become better citizens of their community and country. Their school, situated on "the hill," is surrounded on all sides by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains; and overlooks the outlying town of Vinton. It portrays great beauty at all times of the year-spring, summer, autumn, and winter. But however beautiful the building and its surroundings, William Byrd High School would not be what it is without the people who have studied and taught in its hal Is. A group of students relax while they study. • • 6 �These people-the students and the faculty-bring credit to William Byrd by their undying devotion to the school and their many services to their state and country. Because in the past twenty-five yea rs the students have shown their loyalty to the school in this way, they hove estab lished William Byrd as a school of which they justly con be proud. Within the walls can be found a spirit of good will , of happiness, and of fr iend Iiness which prevails and has prevailed throughout the years of the school's history. This is a school which will always be loved, and wil l remain forever etched in the hearts of each and every one who hos attended William Byrd High School. The activities of the post year are re membered a s the s tudents odm i re their new annua ls. • • 1 �Memories of countless happy moments, stored in the hearts of everyone who looks to William Byrd as his Alma Mater, portray the less academic side of life at Byrd. J Throughout the high school years, moments of sometimes unnoticed happiness occur at frequent interva ls. Going down the hill for Thursday assembly programs - standing in the ha lls before schoo l - walking your best girl to class all ore treasured as memories, one's happiest possessions. In the school activities ore many happy moments - the work of a club activity - the practice for a ploy being a port of the cheering crowd rising to its feet at o football game - the Junior-Senior Prom. Happy moments are found in preparing for holidays, in cheerful greetings as buses leave, and the doors of the school close. ! ~ However, the happiest moment and yet the saddest of a ll - is t he day of graduation. This brings feelings of success and of a new beginning. Sadness at leaving is overcome by the knowledge that the school wi 11 go on as it has, and wil l always be a place of happiness for the students who attend William Byrd. • • 8 �9 �···~ 10 �Bonds lovely queens parades -pageantry -oil hove mode the Dogwood Festival on annual civic event. As the years go by, the graduates of William Byrd High School may forget certain things about their early life, but the happiness and joy of their years at Byrd will remain forever in their hearts. Knowledge and wisdom gathered in their years at this school will give them strength and courage to face the future. As they think bock, the fa mi Iiar atmosphere of the classroom where they shared the work and the joy of acquiring education arises to their minds again. They seem to see the halls bustling with act ivity at the change of classes; a teacher explaining t he comp lexities of Algebra; or they may hear the sound of the students' voices raised in the singing of the Alma Mater. But even more than these things they wi 11 remember the lasting friendships which were formed. All these things cannot be forgotten by the alumni of Byrd as they journey throughout the years. 11 �There is happiness at Byrd the enjoyment of laughing with one's friends the gaiety of lunchroom conversation - the happiness of being with good friends and companions. The ha lls at change of c lasses a re a bedlam in which all the characters merge and combine in a hum of activity. Howeve r, if one looks into a cross section of this group, he finds individua ls who have individua l characteristics. Each student has individuality; he thinks for himself; he does not necessarily conform to a pattern. All students a re different and act in different manners, but all. enjov themselves and are happy. Life at William Byrd has a long tradit ion of hopoiness for the students and anyone who enters the doors of the school. 12 �A third group of students is sometimes undecided about their futures or plans. This group tokes the General cou rse which gives students a brood, general background in the fundamental subjects, as well as much freedom to choose elective subjects according to individua l interest. T he students who enter into William Byrd ore given in their freshman year, choice as to which of the programs they wil l follow. Some, planning ahead to their college careers, choose the Coll ege Preparatory course. In this course students receive a firm ground-work in Eng lish; discover biology and chemistry; and ore instructed in the comp lex ities of algebra and geometry. Wil liam Byrd is a smal l school and in the correspondingly smal I class groups, much stress is placed upon individual action a nd independent thinking. The instructors hove time to devote to each student's individual interest or need, and by this system, a superior type of instruction is accompl ished. A student who hos graduated from Byrd is we ll prepared for whatever he desires to do in life. For other students, who plan a future in the fie ld of secretarial or clerical work, the Commercio I course is ideal ly suited. Studying in these fields, commercial students learn typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and sim ilar arts which prepare them for their futures. Future citizens learn about our notion in Mr. Richard's government class. Musicians prac tice doily in bond class under th e guidance of Mr. Sims. 13 I �edica ti on 14 �There is one me mber of the faculty of William Byrd High School who hos ployed on integral port in the twenty-five volumes of the Block Swan. By her selfless devotion to h e r work OS sponsor of the staff for ma ny of t hese twenty-five yea rs she hos mode on important contribut ion to the school. Also, as librarian sh e hos guided and di rected the students in their sea rch fo r knowledge. To repay in port our inexpresso ble debt to her, we dedicate this, the twenty-fifth volume of the Block Swan to Mrs. Irmo T. Moseley. 15 �TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ON THE HILL In 1932 at ceremonies hel d as port of Homecom ing a t V in ton H igh School, the corne rstone of o bu ilding was laid . Thi s bu ild ing hos since become on integral part of the town of Vinton and the su r rounding areas. Work progressed and in 1933 with Herman L. Horn as principal, the build ing was occupied and o tradition for good edu cation wos started. The years passed and more and more young men and women gathered knowledge at Byrd. Changes were mode, and in 1937 o new addition was added to accommodate the growing studen t body. Then 194 1-wor-ond many of the young men of Byrd .served their country in the services. Some did not return, but many did return, and education went on with Pa ul E. Aho lt as p r i n c ipa l . William Byrd also h os h e ld o hi gh p la ce in sports and ex t racur r icular act ivities, a s evidenced by th e 1949 qua rte r-st a t e f 9otbol I champio n ship won by a fine team coached b y L eon a rd V.

Our history is not complete, however1 without mentioning the men a n d women thot William Byrd has produced throughout the years. They hove become leaders in Vinton, Roanoke, and in various other sec tions. Everyone of these wi II always attribute o large port of his success to the years spent "on the hi l l." 16 �ADMINISTRATION �Dr. Herma n L.

Secretary: Judy Stone; CLASS HISTORY Hunter, and Deanna Coope r, upon the courses of study which they were to follow throughout the following three years. T heir sophomore year, led by Earlene Hairfield, Brenda Jones, Alice Miller, Deanna Cooper, and Darlene M organ as officers, and Mrs. White as sponsor, was a happy and successfu l year. It was at the end of this year that they reo l ized that they had reached the halfway point of their high school days, and had but two more years left at Wil liam Byrd. As juniors, they enjoyed more happy experiences-one of the best remembered being the Junio r-Seni or Prom which they sponsored . Other highlights in th is ye'ar included the Junior Class play " T he Family Nobody Wanted" and the sale of d ish cloths to earn money for the prom. September, 1953, is a date the graduating class of '58 will always remembe r; for it was then that 162 young, eager eighth graders entered the halls of William Byrd. Hoving been introduced to their new surroundings, these students took little time in becoming acquainted with the school and realizing the goal which had been set before them. Mrs. Gob le, their sponsor, was a great help in starting them in the right direction, and the class officers , Shirley Hunter, Deonna Cooper, Darlene Morgon, Shirley Sheff, Martha Sett! es, and Wallace West aided her in this task. Soon these students were in their freshman year-high school students at last-beginning the important four years of education careers. They decided, under the guidance of Miss Marshall os sponsor, and officers Darlene Morgon, Sue Hole, Earlene Hai rfield, Shirley 26 �HONOR GRADUATES Seated: Judy Snodgrass, Reta Fry, Alice Mille r, Nancy Fester, Judy Stone, Gail Montgomery. Standing : David Goode, Deonna Cooper, Catherine Si lcox, Barbaro Fore. Fina lly come the year to which they hod all been looking forward. They were seniors at lo st~ Officers chosen for the year were Gory Kolar, Charles Iddings, Judy Stone, Nancy Foster, and Darlene Morgon, and Mrs. Stiltner, Mrs. Vinyard, and Mr. Moricle were their sponsors. This year was perhaps the bus iest of a ll . More studying was done by the entire class since this would be the lost year of schooling they would receive before going out into the wo rld. Th is year also was busier because of the many social events which took place at that time- such events as the trip to Richmond, Senior Closs ploy, Ring Dance, trip to New York, Junior-Senior Prom, and scores of others. In October, the class members received th eir class rings and there was the magaz ine so le to earn money for the New York trip. But of al l the wonderful things that took place, the one which will remain in the hearts of every senior of '58 is the day of graduation, th e day when diplomas were received, bringing the realization that high school days were over. Those graduated, realizing that they hod fulfilled their ambiti o ns-to graduate with the ability to to continue in the world with happiness and success, wi 11 a Iways remember their days at W ill iam Byrd and will keep the memory of their Alma Mater in their hearts forever. 27 �Bonnie Sue Akers Ele ono r Patricio Albert Le wis Roy Boker Jock Eugene Bolt Shirley Ann Burdette Martha Gray Burkholder The Seniors Embark Upon The Final ' Sen iors of 1958 copping the Seniors of 1957. �William Jon Comp William Douglas Corr Maybelle Chocklette ~. - Eleonor Jeon C lingenpeel Soro Elizabeth Cook Wi lliam Wayne Cook And Mo st Wonderful Year Of High Schoo l. ..

During this first important year in high school, Mrs. Marjorie Stiltner was their class sponsor. By the foll of 1955, which seemed to roll around surprisingly fast, the 161 freshmen were ready to start another year. Feeling quite familiar with their school now, they were led through the year by Carolyn Huffman, Kenneth Sounders, Susie Fielder, Carol Bryant, and Nancy Eversole; with Mrs. Kathleen Thomas serving as faculty sponsor. In their sophomore year, the class, now 149 in number, began to feel like old hands at Byrd. Under the leadership of Kenneth Sounders, Peggy Darnell Cronk, Carolyn Huffman, Carol Cromer, and Kenneth Holland, and Mrs. McCluer sponsor, they really got started toward the ir goal, graduation. T his foll 124 juniors once again entered the halls of Byrd, eager to assume the many new responsibilities coming to them with their advancement to the Junior class. After the election of the class officers, Margie Show, Kenneth Saunders, Carol Bryant, Bobby Roach, and Ann Watterson, the year rea ll y got under way. Ahead were many happy and busy moments that were to be long remembered. All the juniors looked forward eagerly to the graduation ceremonies in the spring, after which they could assume their place as seniors of William Byrd. 40 �Not oll of the Junior's time is spent in social activities; sometime they study.

THE NINETEEN FIFTY - EIGHT Editor-in-Chief-David Goode The Black Swan Staff actually sta rted work on the 1958 Block Swan early in the spring of 1957. Th roughout the spring and summer months, the editors and sponsors were busy planning on entire annual, so that ~hen school started, work could begin in earnest. The group and individua l pictures were made and were identified, the copy was written, and the layout was designed. T he business staff worked hard with the aid of ad solicitors, to secure advertisements from local merchants. Inevitably, the deadline drew near and the office became an extremely active place. Final chang es were made, and the book was proofread for errors. At last, the annual was sent to press, and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. In short, the entire staff worked hard throughout the year to produce a bigger and bett~r annual than ever before. 70 �Busy - busy - busy - this was the motto of the Black Swan office, because since long before students even thought of the annua l, the staff was busy preparing this yearbook. From this office you may have heard the constant pecking of a typewriter, or staff members a rguing over the identity of a picture. Yes, busy - busy - busy - but the staff enjoyed every minute of it. BLACK SWAN STAFF Business Manager-Wallace West Sponsor-Mrs. Ernestine Vinyard 71 �The school newspaper, the Byrd Echo, is published biweekly at the school by a number of hard working staff members. Articles are written by members of the staff and others who may have news they wish to put in the paper. The original articles or~ typed on a dummy. From this dummy, the article is typed onto the stenci I. The stenci I is then placed on the mimeograph machine to be "run off." After all the pages have been run off, the paper is stapled together. The paper contains editorials, gossip columns, Platter Chatter, school news, sports, and the honor rol I every six weeks. There are special editions of ten pages at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and one of twenty pages for the Senior Closs. BYRD The Echo office is always a busy place as ma ny students a re found writing articles for the newspaper, hard at work typ ing these a rticles, or copyreadi ng to f ind errors. Staff memb ers wo rk on advertisement designs, or dra w the art work used in each issue of the Echo. �The deadline draws near; the office becomes a bedlam of activity . Countless lostminute details hove to be attended to, and a final copy reading must check to remove all errors. Finally, the EC H O is comp Iete and the EC HO staff hos produced a newspaper of whi ch William Byrd may be proud.

At the start of the 1957 footbol 1 season there were few sports fons in the Roan oke area who took the William Byrd footba ll team seriously. Howeve r, the Ora nge- and Maroon proved these people to be wrong, fo r they turned the 1957 season into one that Byrd students and alumni will long remember. The Terrie rs, ofter o losing season in 1956, come up with such success that Byrd bottled right down to the wire for the d istrict championsh ip. Much of the team's success was due to the able coaching of Frank Moricle and Rolph ls~ell. Most important, however, was the fact that the players went into each game with a will to win. 94 �j Cooch Mo ri cle goes over new offense for the Christionburg game.

The Fighting Terriers of William Byrd High School opened the 1958 season by travel ing to Christiansburg where they defeated the Demons by a score of 18-6. Next come t he Homecoming game in Vinton when the Byrdmen met the Otters of Bedford. A heads-up defens ive game on the port of the T e rriers turned two Bedfo;d fumbles, a blocked punt, and on intercepted poss into four touchdowns, winning 24-0. September 27 the Byrd team went to Bassett where they met th e Bengals in a hard-fough t defensive contest. Fina lly, in t he final quarter Byrd pulled the game out of the fire 7-6. Finally, the Terriers' three game winn ing streak was snapped by the Andrew Lewis Wolverines 42-0. The next week Byrd was bock on its winning ways again as they crushed the Maroons of George Wythe 39-6. The Terrier offense was really operating and in the final qua rter the Byrd fa ns were th rilled by on exciting seventy yard touchdown run by John Quisenberry on on intercepted pass. Tidwell stopped by Mike Stevens of Fleming. An exciting ploy of the annual homecoming game with Bedford. 95 �Kaylo r t ries in va in for poss in Fleming game. Sounders stopped for no gain by Stevens of Fleming. The Terriers invaded the ranks of Group I, os t hey travelled to Covington where they topped the Cougor5 by the score of 24-18.

The Orange and Maroon kept its Dist rict 6 record c lean by overpowering Blacksburg 3 1-12. Mork T idwe ll ployed on outstanding game ot halfback, gaining 172 yards in 17 carries. Next week, t he Terriers ployed what was probably their best game of the season in a losing effort against powerful William Fleming. Byrd completely outclassed their rivals from Group I with the exception of two ploys early in the game, leading to two touchdowns by t he Colonels. Ken Sou nd<=rs scored two touchdowns for By rd but the points ofter touchdown mode the difference and Fleming won 14-13. T he entire Byrd line turned in o re markable performance, and T idwell a nd Wayne Sounders were effective on offense. T he lost game of the season for By rd was o bottle with th e Martinsville Bulldogs for the District VI championship. A bod break in t he f irst quarter gave Mort i nsvil l ~ its first touchdown, and the Terriers never fu lly recove red.

AD SOLICITORS Each year the Black Swan Staff is ass ist ed in securing advertisements for the annua l by a group of Jun iors and Seniors who soli cit ads from business establishments in Vinton, Roanoke, and other near-by sections. Before these solicitors ore sent out to their respective territories to sell advertisements, they learn salesmanship and are told the proper prices of each advertisement. T hese students work diligently, and most local businessmen are happy to advertise in Wi ll iam Byrd's yearbook. The hard work of the solicitors, in a large part, makes possible the financi ng of the Black Swan. 126 �ADVERTISEMENTS �AD INDEX Acme Typewriter Adams Const ruction Co. Airheart-Ki rk .... .. . . .

A new wing, consisting of eight rooms, was added to the east end of the building in 1937. This year William Byrd High School is again being expanded with the addition of a new auditorium, gym, cafeteria, science laboratories, home economics rooms, enlarged library, and additional classrooms. .

Vinyard '3ifty -Ni11c 3 �William Byrd High School growing through its twenty-sixth year Twenty-six years ago the sound of construction was heard on the hill where William Byrd High School now s tands. A new school which would serve as a guidepost to many people for years to come wai: beini,; erected. Within its walls were to echo the sounds of footfalls, steadfastly advancing toward greater and more significant goals. The years passed ; the campus changed with the addition of new buildings; new faces appeared a s others left; and the school won honors while g r owing yearly in prestige and reputation. A s ou1· school continues to grow, sounds of construction are again heard. These new additions will bring with them greater educational advantages for the youth of our community. The year 1959 will indeed be an advancing step in our g r owth. Glenn Proehl, Alice Plunkett, Jerry Meade, Carolyn F itzpatrick, and Ann Thurman enter the building by the front entrance which faces the town of Vinton. A long walk awaits the bus students each morning before they reach the building. 4 - '.A �High school is a series of advancements. Representing the major steps from the eighth through the twelfth grades ar e Billy Vinyard, Larry Huffman, Ronnie Horn, Douglas Meado1, and Charles Watson. s �By choosing the general course, a student can be prepared for h is vocation immediately after finishing high school. The shop, home economics, and excellent diversified occupations department are all at the disposal of those who decide on a general course. Not only has the size of our school grown in the passing years, but its educational opportunities have grown also. When first built, William Byrd offered no commercial or shop courses. The one course it did offer, college preparatory, was limited because of the lack of proper facilities. Now, with the addition of shop and commercial equipment, a student may choose from one ot three diplomas: College Preparatory, Commercial, or General. Each requires subjects pertaining to its particular field. The college preparatory course is available to those students who plan to attend college. This course offers a firm foundation in English, physics, chemistry, biology, algebra foreign languages, and geometry, in an ef~ fort to make the student well prepared for his future in college. S-tJiiv~ For the students who have decided on a business career, there is a commer cial course, which offers typing, office training, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Because of t h eir abilities, commercial students graduating from William Byrd have caused their school to be recognized as having an outstanding commercial department. With the new additions, the fut ure promises even better opportunities in a ll fields. to impress on each s tudent the Nan Shepherd, Patricia Hale, Shirley Giles, and Catherine Silcox work in the commercial department as Billy Bolster supervises. Curtis Thompkins, Mary Frances Coon, Billy Hudson, Bill Hufton, Edna Mae Bowman, and Jo Ann Gibson take advantage of the facilities of the school library. 6 �Biology is one of the required s ciences for college preparato ry s tudents.

Cf 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 responsible position. Because of his personal character and professional excellence it has been a job well done. It is with sincere feelings of gratitude and respect that we dedicate this, the 1959 BLACK SWAN, to you, our principal, Mr. C. L. Jennings. 15 �• ADMINISTRATIO N There are many phases in a school's growth; 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 ol'iginal twenty members in 1932 to approximately \forty 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 r eady and willing when called upon. It is this never-ending and a lways helpful 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 studen ts, wish to express our gratitude for the many kindnesses you have bestowed upon us this year. 16 • • • �. ,. 1· ., ' ·. 1,....._ ---·~ '\• I • ., ~."~ti( Ii ,, ~. .

You Seniors who are producing this volume are participants and witnesses in the laying of foundations of both moral and physical structures. Today vve saw the foundations completed for a new gymnasium and an auditol'ium. Even more significant, we witnessed the forma l inauguation of the Student Honor System in our school. Now we are all challenged by the unveiling of untested foundations upon which a revised system of public education must be bui lt. You are today junior architects of your future. May the fou ndat ions of vour lives be built according to the blue print of strength, honesty and integrity. Charles L. Jennings Principal; B.A., Emory and Henry College M.A. University of Virginia The pages of this 1959 Black Swan provide you a permanent record of a chapter in your life at William Byrd High School.

Each of these students are diffe1·ent, having a personality of hi s own. Divided into five classes, the students are able to lead and be led on various activities. The eighth graders are Jed by the fres hmen; the freshmen by the sophmores ; on and on it goes, ~1 ea r after year, each attaining a new and higher goal in leaders hi p. Being different in their interests, the students are divided into three groups : college preparator y, commercial, a nd general. The col lege preparator.v s tudents s pend most of their time studying foreign languages, complicated mathematics, and laboratory sciences. Th e commercial students prepare fo r future ca1·eers by taking typi ng, s hor t hand, and studying bookkeeping. The students \Yho take the general course purs ue a wide ,·ariety of subjects. This enables them to make up their minds fo r a definite cou rse of study. Yes, all this tells the story of the students of William Byrd.

Tim2 and demand may change the activities offered, but their purpose remains t~rn same. These activities are varied, giving the stud-:mt opportunity to develop his personality and character while rendering service and gaining enjoyment. There are clubs for rendering services, for introducing students to varied occupations, such as teaching and office training; and for participation in music, debating and sports. T here are organizations that promote better government by putting it into practice. There are clubs that give opportunities in journalism and science. These clubs and organizations serve to promote a better between the teachers and fie students, and between the school and the community, making the student a more wellrounded citizen. r~lationship 78 ��The Student Cooperative A ssociation is th.e g?vernment o f the school, and se1·ves as a co-ord mat1on of all school activities.

An'l Watterson dictates copy as Charlotte Deel types. Work was begun on the 195!) BLACK SWAN at the e nc! of the 1958 school year. Through the summer, plans were made so that work could beg in on schedule in the fall. Soon after the school session began, pictures were made and the staff's work bei:ran in earnest as they identified pictures, wrote copy, and drew layouts. The business staff, with the aid of solicitors, secured ads, and handled the finances connected with the yearbook. As the deadline neared, the pace of the staff quickened as they proofread and made changes. Finally the last of the pages was sent to press, completing another year in print. To p1·epare for the publishing of the 1959 BLACK SWAN Judy Overstreet, Beverly Blount, India Sue King and Walter Vinyard attended the Southern Interscholastic Press Association Convention in Lexington, Va. in the spring of 1958. 33 �Mollie Gish, Editor, types a special feature for the next edition. The school n ewspaper, the Byrd Echo, is publis hed bi-weekly at the school. Articles are written by members of the staff and others who have news to contribute. The original articles are then typed on a dummy and from the dummy the article is typed on a dittomaster. It is then checked for mistakes before the complete page is "run off" on a ditto machine. After each pag-e o f the paper has been printed and the deadline d1·aws near, t he room becomes a bed lam of activity as t h e staff members beg-in stapling the pag-es together. Printers, Marilyn Lawhorn and P riscilla Leftwich, "run off" the latest edition. BYRD ECHO FEATURES NEWS, SPORTS, AND �All ads and art work are done by the members of the staff. The paper consists of six pages, except for special editions at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter and a special senior edition, which are larger ·editions. Each paper contains school and community news, sports reviews, editorials, special features, questionaires, and every six weeks the honor roll. Tommy Olsen, Art Editor, and Brenda Saul, As sistant Editor, gather material for a special edition. Mrs. Thomas, Sponsor, advises the staff w hen problems arise. MEANINGFUL EDITORIALS . ~icharcl Mundy and Logan Jennings, Sports Editors, and Billie Lynn Lassiter, Exchange Editor, work after school to meet a deadline. Newspaper work is a never ending cycle, for as soon as one issue is printed, the next must begin. This means the staff m ust write articles, s e c u r e advertisements, write headlines, check for accuracy, and meet the next deadline. 85 �Seated: Brenda Saul.

DEBAT ORS ACQUIRE USEFUL SKILLS. Walter Vinyard and Carolyn Obenchain prepare for a debate with a local high school. The sole purpose of the Debating Society is to give students who are interested in forensics and current affairs a chance to express their ideas in competition with debators from other schools. The society teaches its members the art of public speaking and argumentation and gives them a better knowledge of international as well as national affairs. The debate team for this year consisted of Billie Lyn n Lassiter and ·Ri ll)' Bolste r, affirmative; and Carolyn Obenchain and Walte r Vinyard, neg-ative. A t r i p w a s taken to Charlottesville to the Forensic Festival and debates w e r e held with Jefferson and Andrew Lewis High Schools. 86 �The Hi-Y is an organization affiliated with the Young Men's Christian Association, which consists of young men all over the world who are interested in developing themselves physically and mentally. Throughout the year the members meet at the central Y. l\L C. A. for basketball, swimming, and other events. This year the club sent delegates t o the Conference of Christians and Jew on Mill Mountain in October and the Y. M. C. A. District Conferences at Wytheville and sponsored a bake sale at one of the local supermarkets. Its most important project was sponsoring the Annual Sweetheart Dance in co-operation with the Y-Teens.

From September to June there are scheduled competitions in various sports with nearby schools. In addition inter-murals are held between the respective classes within William Byrd. Autumn Friday nights found students in the stands of William Byrd Field, waving and cheering the Terriers. Through the efforts of the cheerleaders and many other active clubs, the cheering section became noisier and more spirited with each contest. Byrd's enthusiastic coaches and spirited teams turned out many victorious and thrilling moments for the many fans. With the arrival of winter, the sports scene changes to an indoor setting where basketball dominates. Warmer weather brings another s hift in the sports world. Track and golf are the main attractions now. With the close of the school year outstanding players are awarded special recognition in an awards assembly. 104 ��Billy Bobter Steve B1·own Bill Co1·bitt Ed Cox Richard Foutz Richard Gia:;:; '\'ayne Goodman Richard H all Ronnie ll o n1 B ill Hufton L oi.ran J e nning-:; Hube1·t K e l ly Wendell Kelley Jimmy Leftwich Beverly LongBe1·kle~' . r Luc-as TERRIERS KICK OFF FOR At the beginning of the 1958 football sea,.;on, many of t he area coaches and sportswriters picked om Ten-iers to be the leading contender fo r t he district championship.

Throughout the year, with goals set, they strive onward, their work being recognized. This year the students' . efforts and triumphs are set against a background of steel girders, newly poured cement, and workmen. Prompted by such scenes of expansion and development, the students are urged onward in an effort to do their best. These honors, awards, and special events, a goal for which they have been striving from their first days at William Byrd, are now assigned and will not leave their memory. For beauty, special talents, outstanding events, personality and scholarship, this the Features section is dedicated to a student body rich with potentiality in every direction. There is also outside recognition, the DAR award and the sports club award, symbols of school spirit, vital enthusiasm, and exceptional achievement. 124 ���Cheerleader mascot, Phyllis Hill, cheers a touchdown. Preparations for Homecoming- '58 began long before the eventful week-end arrived. The classes, 8th through 12th, were busy preparing their floats for the parade. The cheerleaders were planning an assembly and the dance, and the football team was getting ready for their big opponent. The events began. Thursday morning the assembly sponsored by the cheerleaders was presented to the entire student body. That night a "Blue Jean" parade through Vinton and the burning of Radford in effigy in the town parking lot, served to give everyone the Homecoming spirit. Finally the big day arrived! The parade of the floats and band was followed by the Homecoming football game in which Radford defeated the Terriers 41-25. Saturday night the Homecoming week-end was cli· maxed by the annual dance in the Jr. High Auditorium. A few days prior to Homecoming the students of William Byrd chose a queen from the Senior Class to reign over the festivities. The top four girls were announced, but the identity of the queen was not disclosed until the actual crowning ceremony performed by Mayor Shirley Crowder. HOMECOMING BRINGS COLORFUL EVENTS .

All attention is given to Mr. Craddock as he explains a mechanical drawing lesson. Alfred Parrish is one of the most attent ive students. • �Since its founding , William Byrd High School has continually emphasized the academic side of scholastic life. This emphasis is constantly being stressed and its effect is reflected in the student body. Although the pupils are wellrounded and participate in all phases of school life- academic, social, and athletic, they do not forget the purpose for which our school was created-a sound academic education. The outstanding product that is turned out by this emphasis on learning is witnessed in students staying after hours to finish a lab experiment; editorials and articles written by Byrd students in local newspapers and student publications; the creative interests of school clubs and student organizations; the high grade average maintained by top athletes; and the constant honors won by various groups and individuals. We, the pupils, believe along with. the administration, that this emphasis on academic activity will leave us fully prepared for the coming years.

Many test scores ore considered and the students may find for what branch of work they would be best suited. The annual College Day is another function of the school which helps juniors and seniors decide which college they wish to attend. By meeting representatives from various colleges throughout the state we ore better able to deci de which one we like best and may plan accordingly.

Sim s �The qu ick wit and humor of Mr. Sims is reflected h e re a s h e discusses th e day's events with Mr. Ratliff, Throughout the period during which our school was being transformed into the modern structure that it is today, there has been one person who has given encouragement and 0 brighter outlook to all those who hove known him. Under his guidance each pupil has been shown how to enjoy and to get the most out of 0 high-school education. In his ever-present smile and warm greeting, he has secured the friendship of both faculty and student body. We feel that he is a wonderful representative of the spirit and outlook that are so much a part of William Byrd. Under his direction the Wi 11 iam Byrd High School Band has become one of the outstanding musical groups of this area -constantly winning awards and bringing topranking honors to our school. As one of the originators of the Vinton Dogwood Festival, he has brought wide-spread recognition and increased enthusiasm to our community. For these reasons, we dedicate this the twenty-seventh volume of the BLACK SWAN to Mr. James H. Sims. 17 Mr. Killin ger, M r . Bowe r, and M r .

Each of these students selects his own course under the capable guidance of a staff of faculty members. Students ore divided into three courses of preparation; College Preparatory, Commercial, and General. Although these cou rses prepare students for different walks of life, they do not separate the student body into different classes; indeed, there is a spirit of co-operation and friendship at William Byrd that few schools possess. Students preparing for collegiate life study foreign languages, advanced mathematics, laboratory sc iences, English, and Social Studies. Commercial pupils train for the business world in classes of typing, shorthand, Vocation Office Tra ining, bookkeeping, and business machines. In the General Course, students perhaps have the widest choice of subjects. The shop department at Byrd is known as one of the best in Virginia and the Diversified Occupations Club continua lly brings home highest honors in state-wide competition. All of this gives an idea of the unlimited opportunities that await those students who ore willing to toke advantage of them .

And in a variety of ways they did . . as we se rved on the student council . . . saw our writing in print . . . were inducted into an idolized club . . . made our debuts on the stage. These were the highlights; yet perhaps more meaningful were the many hours spent working on various Y-Teen and H i-Y projects .- .. decorating the class float for the Homecoming parade . .. taking part in athletic events either by po rtic i po ting <?r attending .. . serving on various committees . . . enjoying the music of the Mixed Choir. And all the whil e beneath the surface these visions and their fulfillment were making indelible imprints on our character and our persona I ities as, th r oug h these activities, we freely gave and even more freel y received from our school. We have grown and matured as Wi 11 iom Byrd High School has grown into the modern and complete plant that it is today. However, our visions do not end here. Bigger and more meaningful ones have taken the places of the ones that we che r ished in the underclasses, and as then, we have a firm belief that they will materialize.

Before the opening of school, they octed as hosts for a Faculty Tea, given in honor of the new teachers. The Honor System, "Back to School Night '' fo r parents, student elections, the organ izotion of assembly programs, and Town Government Day ore all sponsored by the S.C.A. This year one of the primary functions of t he group has been to expand and widen the concept o f the newly founded Honor System. It is hoped that in the near future, the creed of the system, "On My Honor with God as my witness" will be upheld and constantly in the minds of each of the students. Roselyn Skelton, Miss Morsholl, Carole Overstreet, Dreamer Hole, and Betty Young talk over coming S. C. A. activities before attending assembly. student activities Much of the work of the S.C.A. is done through its committee-School Improvement, Constitution and Points System, Social, Citizenship, etc. Chairmen, selected by the officers of the group, select their own committeemen and conduct their meetings in t he presence of a sponsor. The Clean-Up campaign, Town Government Doy, and S.C. A. picnic all are accomplished through committees. The members meet ofter school and during activities period on Thursday to discuss their projects. W . G. Sink, Beverly Bushong, Kay Kromer, Shirley Mclain, and Betty Jo Shrader meet in Room l 0 l to discuss a project that was brough t up at the last Student Council meeting . 93 'l �Throughout the year, the annual staff office is o center o f activity and industry. Pictures to be identified, layo ut to be drown up, copy to be written, proofreading , rewriting, m o re proofreading all this makes up a day's work. "Where is that copy?", "What did I do with that picture?", "Type this, please.", these ore the sounds that ore heard ringing from the office just off the landing . Then ofter all is sent to the printer, comes more proof-reading, planning for the assembly, collecting picture money . Always though, we heo r the question" Just what do you do in that place that tokes so much time;>" Then comes that glorious day that the whole schoo l anxiously awaits the annuals hove arrived!

The BYRD ECHO got caught in the late tide of things, due to the late opening of school. The first issue published was the special Thanksgiving edit ion, using the theme the "New Look." T his year, the newspaper added a printed paper to the growing iist o f new additions in the school. In the post, the paper had been mimeographed, except for a brief period in 1953-54 . Because of the new construction, the newspape r o f fice was housed in the V.0 .T. office, before being m cved to a soundproof conference room in the library . A new pion for the BYRD ECHO staff was initiated this year . Those contributing to on issue were listed on the staff in that issue only. In order to become a permanent member of the staff, it was necessary to contribute t o at least three issues . 96 proofreads copy �Mr. Arrington, Sponsor, ond Beverly Bushong check the file cobinet in order to be sure thot oll. copy is in ploce. of the students Richard Munday dictates copy to Joyce Reed while Janet Richardson and Mori lyn Lowhorn look on . Many hours during s tudy hall and ofter school go into each issue of the BYRD ECHO . Little does the average student realize what goes into the make-up of each isst.:e of the BYRD ECHO. The finished product is the result of many hours of planning and work: stories are assigned and written, ads ore sold, copy is checked and typed, proofs are checked and rechecked, head1ines ore written, pages ore made up, final adjustments and checks a re made, and final ly the paper is sent to press. Excited and weary journalists exclaim, ''We hove been to press!" But before they can catch their breaths, the individual copies ore ready for circulation. Thus, anot her copy of the BYRD ECHO appears. �$._ -isored by the YWCA and the YMCA the fc:.Jr clubs - three Y-Teen and one Hi-Y - hove a common goal - serving others.

A yearbook cannot be published by hard work alone; financial resources must be plentiful. A vast majority of these resources come from the advertisements placed in this annual by the many loyal businesses, industries, and other boosters in the Roanoke Valley. The BLACK SWAN staff feels that adve rtise ments in their annual will prove of definite value to the advertiser. We would like to express appreciation to the businesses concerned, for without their support this yearbook could not hove been possible. Therefore, we urge the students of this high school to express their gratitude to these groups. As this yearbook closes, so does the year-a year of many memories. In the splendor of autumn, the cold and snow of winter, and the rebirth of spring, we have found the happiness and joy that was a port of the story of 1960 at Wi II iam Byrd . Now it is time for graduation-the seniors say their goodbys, and the upperclassmen move upward on the ladder of school Iife. With those who leave the halls of Byrd go the good wi s hes of those who remain behind. With those who ore staying remain many happy moments. To all of you we hope that we have told your story of 1960- and of the "New Look" at William Byrd .

Fuur years have swiftly passed since the Class of '36 entered Vinton High Sehool as Prl'shmen. These four years have been pleasant for us all. When we entered high school in the fall o( ninctl!cn hundred thirty-two, ou r loyal band, numbering one hundred and sixty-six, started LhL· journey that we had been looking forward to for some time. Our enthusiasm ran high, and it w:"ls with happy hearts that we set out as Freshmen. Doris Hill, Elaine Suzor, Ruth Moore, and Irma Sprouse wt·1·c chos1.:n class officers. The second year was begun with the same enthusiasm as the fi rst, a lthough our number had decreased to one hundred and five. \Ve Wl!rc placed under t he supervision of Miss Gish. That year Charles Penick, Gary Myers, Juanita Austin, and !\laurice Booth were chosen our leaders. Our class was well represented in the activities of the school. Then came our Junior year. Some history is dull and uninteresting, but to us our Junior history was not. Through the untiring efforts of i\Iiss Eliz<tbclh Trout, our sponsor, the play, "Elopement of Ellen," was a great success. Finally came the affair of the year, the Junior-S<.!nior Banquet, a gala event, when the Seniors departed with happy memories. The year of all years- Seniors at last! How proud were we to Gil the vacant chairs left by the Seniors who preceded us! 13ut where was all the dignity and superiority which we thought Seniors always acquired? We eouldn't be dignified. Having proved to be a capable leader, Woodrow Mdlwain was again chosen President of the class. He was ably assisted by Selma Berry, Frances Cook and Richard Newman. We were very proud lo be able to publish the t hird volume o( the BLACK S\VAN. The StaJT chosen by the class were as fo llows: Norris Conrad , Peggy Th ierry. Frances Cook, E lizabeth Goode, Inna Sprouse, Davis \IV('avcr, Selma Berry, Huff Fitzpatrick, Dorothy Brown, Kathleen Burt. Eustace Meador, Frances Curter and Elton Overstreet. "Green Stockings," our Senior Class Play, was presented in April. under the excellent direction of ~liss Trout. On April 30, 1936, the class was very happy Lo hold a ceremony in which we dedicated a Kasta Blue Spruce lo the school. We were lhe firsl class to clo so, nnd we hope the Senior Classes of the futu re will continue this custom. To our teachers. for their untiring efforts in our ht:half, Wl' wish to express our highest appreciation. They have given to us their lime and knuwkdgc, and we hope to repay them some day. r\ow that we have reached the summit, we find ourselves ready Lo go lo a new fi eld, but it is with sad hearts that we say farewell lo William Byrd lligh School. We will always cherish the memories of the happy days spent there. ,4 18 f·" ' �Swan·1936 Last Will and Testament \Ve th e Cluss of '36, of William Byrd High School. being o f so und mind, memory, and un ders t:tncling, liul ne,·e rl hcless mindfu l that ou r life as n !'lass will soon lie rit an end, do , on this third da y n f J un c, in the ye:t r o f o ur Lord one thousand. n ine hundred a nd thirty -six, in the Commo n we: tlt h uf Viq~inia, make, p 1tblish and decla re this ro he 011r lust will and t c:.tament, .-ollec tively: W e, t he ~enior C lnss. do lca,·e 10 the Juniors ou r dii;nity nnd quictnes in the study hall. \V e leave to J\ lr.

Football Coach Ahalt started the football season with three letter men. The lc;1m was not an outstanding one but by t he hard work and sportsmanship shown by c,·cry member of the squ ad, we are proud to say it was a typical learn of William Byrd. Led by Cnptain Charles Foutz, outstand ing tackle, the team won three games and lost six.

J-k1\T 6.\ -613 �Senior Class History T ET US turn back the pages of Wi lliam Byrd's hiSlory four years, j ust to go t h roug h high school L again with 1939's seniors, as a bit of review before the doors a re, for t he last time, closed behind them. They were a group of growing youngsters then, one hund red and seventy to be exact, but about as ignorant as their large number. Let us look at them as they, in the fall of '35, entered into that blessed rear of high school infancy. They walked up to good old William Brrd, with wondering e:1:pressions on their faces, and timidly knocked. Mr. Horn, our ever faithful friend and principal, answered the door, and took these chicks under his wings. ln this manner they became settled for a four years visit ( I guess I shouldn't leave those out who liked Byrd so well that they wan ted to stny longer but, as ~Iiss .\ilarshall wou ld say, a hint to the wise is sufficient, 11nd you might wea r your welcome out). Even children have to work sometimes and we, the freshmen of '35, certain ly did our share. \ Ve were placed under the able sponsorshi p of Miss Fitzpatrick, :i nd C larence Ferguson, H arol d Ri ce, Janet Long, and .\ilary Jo Shelor were elected to guide and rule the freshmen. We chose as our motto one that really hnd a meaning for a class of freshmen: "I slept and d reamed that life was beauty; I woke and found that life was duty." Our freshman year would ha,·e ended so" peacefully" if Old Man Examinations had not begun to whittle on us; in fact, when he had finished, our former number-one hundred and sc,·enty-was whittled down to one hundred and twenty-five. Thus we took our second step in high school life, for we were Sophomores. ~vJy, but we were a lazy bunch, for other than elect our officers who were: Janet Long, Beverly Smith, and Tom Silcox, very little was done. Our sponsor for the nine months case of spring fever was Miss Q,•crstrcct, who did everrthing she could, except put dynamite under us to make us work. Then once more we were whittled until our class roll was decreased to one hund red and th ree, and these entered into the second highest place in high sc hool, t he J unior yea r, which was a yea r worth remembering. Like a flower, we awoke to find all the world working and blossoming, so we decided to try our luck, and under the dutiful sponsorship of Byrd's att ract ive little teacher, Miss Carson, we produced the plar "Second Fiddle." The officers for this year of Renaissance were: Janet Long, Beverly Smith, Vivian Kidd, and Virginia Booth. By the time Old Man Examinations had finished whittling for the third time, our original number, one hundred and sevemy, was reduced, in the fall of '38, to eighty-three. Thus we started our last and best rear of secondary education. Our officers who were chosen by a committee and approved by the class as a whole, were: Vi rginia Booth, Cleveland Saul, Lottie Aliff, and Elma Moody. For a class with such g reat ambitions and that cert:iin "get-what-I-want" attitude, Mr. Horn thought it best to give us two teachers as co-sponsors, M rs. Stiff a nd Mrs. Snider, who a rc the "cream of the crop." Dear Seniors, you no longer sit on mama's lap and listen to the story of the "Three Little Pigs," but you should at least par heed to the moral that it teaches. Now that you arc freeing yourself of mama's apron strings you must go out into the world and build your house, :is did the little pigs. 1t will protect you from this wicked world, so don't build it of straw and sticks. Then you, too, can sing "Who·s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" Well, J?ood-bye Seniors, William Brrd is going to close her doo r behind you, so watch out, don't let it catch your lingers. �The Senior Class OFFICERS V I RGINIA BOOTH President CLEVELAND S AU L Vice President LOTTIE ALIFF S ecretary ELMA 1\IoooY Treasurer I I .... �LOTTIE VIRG IJ\:I.\ .\LIFF "0, tlzou art fairer tlza11 tlze tvt11i11g air" J\ well-mannered little ladr she is, with a beauti- ful co111plexion wh ich justifies her being th e most beautiful girl in the Senior C lass.

That othe r p h ase o f o ur life which plays a very impo rtant r6le in these school days is the molding o f ou r young characters, physicallr and socially. Thus we consider the clubs, ath letic organ izations, and the band important branches o f o ur school. Becau se we know that in realizing o ur ambition as good citizens, it is necessary to be not only good leaders but also good followers, we Jrn,·e elected a st udent governing council to preside ove r us. Our president is James R eynolds; our vice president Josephine Scott; Janet Long is the secretary; and Lucille Cox is reporter.

The football team won its first four games in a row, tied its fifth, and dropped its last three by close scores. The basket ball team, after a slow start, won ten straight games and cl imaxed a ,·ery successful season al Bluefield by winning the \Vestern District C lass B T o urnament. A.s t he :tnnual goes to press, ou r track and tennis teams are yet to hav e a m eet, but good prospects a re practicing for both sports. The football team, under the direction o f Coach Ahalt, developed rapidly in early season practices. Th e boys showed up well in the opening games by defeating C hristiansburg High by the score of .p-o. The next week they crushed 1\Iartinsville High almost as badly, and then beat Fleming and R adford before battling a game Bedford team to a tie. Then in mid-season, the team suffered injuries and ne,·er functioned as well, for in no game was e\.·ery regular p resent. The team lost to Clifton Forge, Narrows, a nd Salem by close scores to end the season . The highlight of the season was the Home-Coming D ay game which o ur boys won 19- 0, thus keeping up the school's trad itio n of never losing a game on s uch a celeb ration. Our school h nd the hono r of ha \·ing the Stnte's leading scorer, blonde Shirley Crowder, Junior halfback, scoring 88 points to lead all othe r State backs by a good margin. H arry Dickson, Brownie l\Ioore, T om CadJ, and J oe 1\ lilner, in addition to Crowder, were named on the All-City-Co unty Teams. In addition to these, Jesse Cox, J immy Fuqua, Paul CaJ<l. Lewis R eynolds, Francis Hill, l\[urphy Scott, nnd T o m Silcox played well. The Terriers basket ball team li,•eJ up to ad,·anced publicity :tn<l <le,·eloped into what could be classed one o f the best teams in the school history . For the team's fine record much credit should be gi,·en to Cnach l\I yers. After a weak start Coach 1\·l yers finally fou nd a winn ing combin:tti;n and from mid-season his team went undefeated . T he team was chosen as t he No. I tcum in th is part o f their district, anJ proved themselves to be the strongest in the whole district by winning the \Yestern State Class B t itle at Bluefield. l larry Dickson was proba bl~ the most outstand ing player on the team, winning a place on the 1\ll-CityCounty T eam and also on the All-Tournnmcnl T eam. Aubrey I\ lcCcn rgc, Jimmy Fuqua, F rnnk \Yilliamson, Shirley CrowJcr, and Hugh Tucker also played good ball. �Football Squad P. E. . . . .. • .. ... . • . • . • . . . • . • ....... .. .

The reel of life winds on and on, today's actions become tomorrow's memories. In preparing this record we have attempted to picture the life at W il liam Byrd so v ivid ly t hat in years to come it will help you recall the numerous and va ried experiences of your stay here. Ju st as the p hotographer picks up his carne ra and readies the scene which will soo n become a fi ni s hcd picture, we have tried to depict the many acti\·ities that form the finished pictu re, vVilliam Byrd. >Jaw turn the paf:?es of this book and follow us, scene by scene. �ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS FEATURES ADVERTISEMENTS Dedicatio n ....... .. ....... ... + Eighth Grade . . .. ... ..... . .... 40-.p Black Swan Sta ff . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Junio r l figh .... . .. . ....... . .. 42- +3 /\<lvcrtis ing Representatives .... 7 Organizatio n R ost e r .. . .. . . . ... \ ' icws. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8- 9 Clubs ... .. ... . . . . . .. . ........ +6- 61 Cal c11J:1r o f E,·cnts. . . . . . . . . . .

It was hard to imagine ou rseh-cs seniors. That year I lc nrr Plunkett , Elmer T hacker, G ladys Craft, and Fare H ai rfield we re our leaders. J\s sophomores, we elected Bobby Schuermann , Regina Hoggcss, \ laxiuc Altizer and Rhunellc \\'oolfolk to the class o ffi ces . Before we rea lized it, we had co mpleteJ mo re than ha lf our jo urney as we stepped into the role of juniors . K e nneth Sha\·er, Barba ra \foo re , Ke nne th \\'ard, Darlene Simmons, and 1\Iartha Rodgers fulfilled well their duties as class o fficers. \\"h at a busr year it was! R emember the fun we had presenting o ur class play, "Suzy," under the Jircction of our sponsors, ~Jrs . Hood and ~Irs . Clary? And we can' t forget the Junio r-Senior P rom and our share in the Cap and G own ceremony and Co mmencement. i j 1 I j But at last we have reached the end o f our high school road, for we arc seniors. H ow quickly the <lays ha\·e passed . There seemed only half as many hours in a day as there should have been. ! Our officers were K enneth Sha,·cr, Kenneth \\'a rd, R hunellc \\'ool- folk. Barbara \ foore and .:\ ancr Durham . \\'he nc \·cr we think of these last few months we shall remember those highlights of the year- picnic, the co mme ncement e xercises, and the trip to ?\cw York . .\fay we thank ou r spo nsors, .\liss Kelly and .\frs .

The ma in e\·ents of the day were a senior assembly, athletic contests between the Seniors and the Juniors, and a weiner roast. During the school day the underclassmen were asked to show certain courtesies to us. In December we held the Senior Ring Dance. The ring motif was carried out in <lecorating the gymnasium. In the ring ceremo ny the co uples walked thro ugh a large replica of the class ring. \\"hile passing thro ug h the "Big Ring, " each recei,·ed his ring from his date. J\fter this ou r class president and his date led the grand march and the figure. During the rest of the eveni ng we enjoyed dancing to our favo rite music. Each year the faculty of our school chooses a Senior girl as "good citizen," to be sponsored by the Colo nel William Presto n Chapter of the D. A. R. Th is year Louise Lewis was given this ho no r. As the BLACK SwAN goes to press, ou r class history is still incomplete. The Senior girls p~an to challenge t he facult y to a basketball game at the end of the basketba ll season.

The nucleus o f th e ' 45 team was built aro un d ten returning letter men from the ' 44 outfit. The "Terriers," somewhat stronger than in rece nt yea rs, ope ned the ir season by trouncing the Christiansburg Demo ns, 20- (>. The "Terriers"' fa st-mO\·ing "T" formation put them in the lead early in the game and kept them th ere in spite of the mudd y conditio n of the C h ristiansburi; field . On September 2rst, Byrd again traveled, this time t o Bedford. Here B y rd chalked up her second win o f the season, which proved t o be a field clay fo r the "Terriers" as they walloped a scrappy Bedford team , 40- 0. L a ntz led the scoring with three tallies, while Griffith, Patsel a nd Adkin s foll owed with o ne each . On the defense, Co-Captains Comer and J e nrette were o uts tanding along with C. R ya n, H endricks a nd Pa tsel. J efferson, next to face the "Te rriers," proved to be too st ro ng for the comparatively "green" By rd outfit. The ga me was a ll Jeffe rson in the first, seco nd and fou rth quarters wit h Byrd having a slight edge in the th ird quarter. J efferson's power easi ly brought them t hrough to a 41 - 6 v ictory. But Byrd's fourth ga me was played at Sale m in a drizzling ra in. Fumbles 111 t hi s game were numerous and passes were few.

The game was hard fought and well played and co uld not be termed a defeat despite the sco re of 12- 7 in Salem's favo r. Before the largest H omecoming crowd in the school's history, the "Terriers' ' again upheld a schoo l traditio n by whipping the R adford "Bobcats'' 14- 6. Th e game was a hard-pitched battle for bot h siJes and at times it looked as if it might be a "Bobcat " victory. J enrette, \\"irt, Bis ho p a nd Comer p layed good ball in the line, while Butterworth , Patsel , i\fart in and Lantz s howed up well in t he backfield. The "Terriers " topped Dublin, i8- 6, for their fou rth win of the season . The "Terrier " line proved too heavy for the Dublin eleve n a nd after the first five m inutes there was hard ly any doubt o f the outcome. On October 24th , Byrd tra ,·eleJ to l\lartinsvi lle. Here they lost their first Class B game to a hard-fig hting and hea,·ier l\Iartinsville team. Comer, Byrd co-captain, had to leave the g_amc o n the thirJ p lay beca use o f a fractured arm . \Vhen t he whis tle ended the ga me, it fo und \[a rtin s\'il le ahead, 12- 0. The next game was one of tbe most successful of the season for Byrd. The ga me was played in a drizzle on a rain-soa ked fieh.I, but the "Terriers" easih· trounced Schoolfield 3 1- 0. On November 10th, Fleming came to Byrd with an unbeaten record a nd expecting an easy win. The game " ·as Fleming's for the first three quarters, then Byrd put o n the steam a nd scored 12 pointi- in less th an six minutes. The ga me was hard fought all the W (ty , b ut Fleming came thro ug h wit h a 23 - 12 victor y . The last qu art er pro\'ed exciting tu th e Byrd fans as Brrd's passi ng attack easily clicked and had Fleming o n the fence for a tim e. On November 17t h, Byrd played its last game of the season agai nst 131ncksburg. This ga me wns the toughest o f the seas0n fo r the team and ended in a 1 3- 13 tie. The Blacksburg boys pla yed "heads-up" foo tball and the "Terriers,. had a hard gc-1mc o f it. Bla cksbu rg was threa t ening in the last two minutes of th e game w hen Goggi n, Byrd halfback , intercep t ed a p ass and ran it back 7) yards as the \vhist\c ended the ga me. :ind 1\ s a result n f n>upera tion amnll!-( th e players and coaches.

Class Sponsor CAROLYX D ,\VID 1 L\LE .. I n the fall of 1952, the Junior Class, 166 strong, entered the hall s o f \\ 'il fiam Byrd with their knees knocking. They soon realized that this maze of classroorns would become a second home to them. J\ s their officers they elected .\Targaret I far t, Lindy Lan<lsdown, Phyllis Gibson, J\ [ o~ l r Pedigo, and Pete Plunkett. ?vliss H a rris, the sponsor, saw that ther got a good start in their life at Byrd. Their freshman year was led by Caroly n J o hnso n, R osemary Q,·erstreet, Peggy Gillispie, Li ndy Lan<lsclown, and Alice Huddlesto n. \\'ith their goa l in sight, the year passed swiftly. Jn the sophomore year all realized that they were at the half-way mark. From here they could loo k back and see others following in their footsteps, and then they look ed for\\'ar<l and foll<>wed the footsteps of those who had gone before them. Leade rs for that year were Carolyn J ()hnson, \fan·in \leador, \\'anda \laske, and \loll y Pedigo. T he ir sponsor was ,\fiss Abbott. :\ow as juniors they a re on the threshold o f accomplishing their goal. Officers this year arc Ca rolyn J o hnson, President; Da\·id Hale, \ 'ice President; Lindy Lands<lo wn, Secretary; and \\"anda \f aske. Treasu rer. \liss \[arshall. their sponsor, has he lped all to complete a very successful ~·ear. The class will long remember their Junio r Class Play presented in the spring. I t was th e pleasure of the Junior Class to sponsor the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, and it was an honor 10 cap the Seniors. :'\ow the class goes fo rward as they finish their last step before becoming "The Class o f '57." They salute the Seniors of 1c;5() and hope that they rn ay be ab le to set as good an example as th ey IHI\ c set for them. �Juniors jo1·: ANDREWS jEAN AunoTT jOE ARRINGTO N PATSY Al.DERT I.1•: w 1s BAKER RA C lll' L A l .TI CE R U TJI Al.TI CE R ONALD BARKER PAT ANllERSO X BA1U1ARA Bo1.s TER BEN:-IY BRO\\"N \IARY BLAIR Boone BARllARA Bow1,1x c LORRAINE BRATTOX DALLA S BRYANT Sv 1,V1i\ l3 U RX S JU1·: jEAN CASI!

The preliminary activities began when the Senior Class chose the candidates to compete for t he honor of being Home-Coming Queen. Each member of the student body \"O!ed for his four favorites from the list of girls: Kathleen Toone, Janet Caldwell, Judy M ill s, Sandra Abbott, Mildred i\Iartin, Sheh-y Plunkett, Patricia Hale, Suzanne Blankensh ip, Rosemary Beard. The identity of the queen was kept secret until crowning ceremon ies just before the game. J\ "Blue Jean" parade through the main streets of \"inton and the bonfire which was held on the Town of \"inton Parking Lot Thursday night served to gin the Home- Coming spi rit to every one. The Home-Coming Assembly was held 6th period on the football field. cheerleaders, assisted by .l\Trs. 1\/Iarie Spradley, had charge of this assembly. The J\n other main feature of Home-Corning was the big Home-Coming Parade \vhich began at 6:00 P. ]\t[. It included bands from several schools. many floats sponsored by d ifferent organizations, and decorated cars and bicycles. The crowning of the queen preceded the football game. The four popular and pretty g irl s were escorted on the field and l\Iavor Thurman crowned Sheh·v Plunkett "l\fiss \·in ton." The other three had the honor of reigning as her attendants. . The highlight of the festiYities, the game between By rd and Blacksburg. began at 8 :00 P. L\l., on the William Byrd Athletic field. Unfortunately, the Terriers were defeated by a score of 6-19. At half-time the \\"illi:1111 Byrd Band and Choirs directed by }.fr. James Sims and i\lrs. \ "iola Painter presented a spectacular performance that had ne,·er before been attempted on t he Byrd Field. It pro,·ed 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. L\I. ":'diss \ "inton" and her date lead the grand march.

Junior Class In the fall of 1953 this class, 162 in number, entered this now familiar bu ilding for a new phase of their education. Their first look was taken with a feeling of mixed emotions: uncertainty mingled with confidence, loneliness with hope and friendliness. The officers for the year were Shirley Hunter, Darlene Morgan, Shirley Shell, Martha Settles, and Wallace West with Mrs. Goble as sponsor. By their freshman year the remaining 148 members were well acquainted with the customs of the school. In that year they decided what courses they would follow. For officers they chose Darlene Morgan, Sue Hale, Earlene Hairfield, Sh irley Hunter, and Deanna Cooper. Miss Marshall was their sponsor. As Sophomores, the numbers still small er ( 118) but their courage greater, they began to discover new interests and really "started to roll" under the leadership of Earlene Hairfield, Brenda Jones, Alice Miller, Deanna Cooper, Darlene Morgan and rviiss \i\Thite was their sponsor. Now _as Juniors, abou t 100 strong, with Darlene Morgan , President ; Shirl ey Hunt e r, Vice-President; D eanna Cooper, Secretary; Judy Stone, Treasurer; and Judy Leffel!, Reporter; and Mrs. Huddleston, sponsor, steering them on; they think back over their successfol year and look fo rward to becoming Seniors, follow ing the good example of their fri ends of '57, and to their future as graduates of William Byrd High School. 40 �Bonnie Akers Patsy Albert Collen Baker Lewis Baker Harry Basham Evelyn Belcher Yvonne Blnir Jack Bolt Joan Branson ~farth a Burkholder Shirley Burdette Douglas Cnrr Eleanor Clingenpeel Bill Cook Sum Cook -----•JUNIORS Deanna Cooper Bertram Corkill Jeanie CreaS)' Barbara Davis Sylvia Dennison Richard Dillon Pat Dingledine Doris Dowdy Jerry Ferguson Jerry Fink Dnnny Fisher Dickie Flora Bobby Fole>' Barbara Fore Nancy F'ostt."r 41 �Borbnrn Goad David Goode Earlene Hairfield Benny Hole Dawn Hale Carol Sue Hale Pa tricia Sue Hole Benny Harris Dovid H orris Ann Henth Margaret Heck Joyce Hogan Nigel Home \Vnync Horne JUNIORS Shirley Hunter Billy Hutchins Charles Iddings Brenda Jones Gary Kaylor Alice Keaton Robert Kendall Joan Kerns W alter Kent Thoma~ Kirby Judy Leffell Leil ani Leffell Ruth Lyles Earma Jean McCarth y Ali ce Miller 42 �James Mi ll s Gail 1'- lon tgomcry Shirley llfoorninn Darlene lllorgn n Ronald 1'-lorgan Alice Musselman Lewis Pnintl•r Becky Payne Staley Pennington Billy Poling \Va>' nc Pridge1~ l ~~ Darlene Rawle tt Bill y Hichnrds ~ Connie Agner Ridenhour Jnc:kic Hiler JUNIORS Judy Riley Kyle Robinson Dickie Sandridge Annie Saunders Jnnct Scott Donald Settle 1'.l>lrtha Settles Carol Short Ca therine Silcox Edwana Sink joAnn Smith Judy Snodgrass Jane tte Sowers Mildred Spnnglt•r Bt"tty Stanley �Judy Stanley Lucian St. Clair Shelba St. Clair Judith Stone Lewis Stout Jerry Suttles H.

The reforms did not go unnoticed by students. New bottled drink machines were p opular with students, as was the new more liberal dress cod e which allowed students to wear tank tops. In winter months, temperatures ranged from below zero to over 70 degrees. Those quick changes in weather kept the scenery constantly changing and caused hundreds of students to be absent due to illnesses. For the first time, a school nurse helped those who reported to her in th e guidance area. Changes of scenery literally took place on stage when student actors p erformed in the p lay, The Wizard of Oz , in May. However, the place or scenery for other springtin1e activities such as the Dogwood Parade, the Prom and Graduation all remained the same!

Summer was spent as a time for relaxing and having fun. Shaver also said that her idea of a perfect summer was having no curfew. Students entertained themselves over the summer by going to theme p arks , the beach, and working at local restaurants, malls and pools. Freshman Adam Holdren said, "My summer was awesome because I had two great vacations and a memorable birthda y." The highligh t of Holdren' s summer was turning 14. According Virginia state law, Holdren was now legal to drive the family's Sea-Doo. There were a number of students from Vinton Baptist Church who took a trip to build a house for the less fortunate. Junior Emily English said, "I went on a mission trip to Tennessee. We worked on a house all week with people we didn't know. It was good doing something nice for someone else! " Other students took trips to various sta tes and countries. Shelby Dillard travelled along the Gulf of Mexico and floated down the Itchituchnee River in an inflatable inner tube. "The water was so clear you could see over twenty feet to the bottom," the senior said . As summer drew to a close, students prepared to come back to school for the new year. In August, students picked up their schedules and '98 yearbooks, shopped for new clothes and school supplies, and tried to get ready for the return to school day routines. It was tim e to hit the books and close the pools! ::::J c: '::::J ~ I -....~ I ' ro c: ~ I U/e t/r,oa.j/r,t t/r,e;<-ejaS't lfftj/r,t be 1 a;ot of1ofrlat t/r,e el(d of tk t<-ai?oarl tt<-acf..r Ifie t/r,e Ol(e at t/r,e, e-l(d of t/r,e t<-ailfbo(.()/ • Tw•·(j !1!iff f; J 6 Student Life 11 t a Sulllrnt'r ge t-toget1, l' of th e C r 0 Co untr y Team .

Janet McKay, and four other students , she toured Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. The tour lasted almost three w eeks out of the summer (July 7th-24th). Lawrence said, "Ireland was the place I enjoyed the most. On the day we arrived, we took a horse and buggy ride through a park in the town of Killarney. It was beautiful! Yet - I'd have to say that the tour of the Ring of Kerrey was absolutely breath taking!" Rather than traveling with foreign language classes or tour groups, other students took family vacations. Sophomore Audre Parke traveled to Germany, Austria, Holland, Italy, Switzerland, and Poland with her family over the summer. Parke spent almost nine w eeks in Europe and said, C A arefully, Kellen Willia ms sits on a wa ll w hi ch run s alo ng the Northern Rim of th e Grand Canyon w hi ch offers a panoramic view of the deep gorges and the Colorado Rive r.

As in previous years, the dance was held in the cafeteria of the middle school. Although the air conditioning was barely felt, and most students complained about the heat, the dance was agreed upon to be one of the best ones in recent years, and surveyed students said that they enjoyed the experience. The theme of the dance, "I Don' t Wanna Miss a Thing," w as taken from Aerosmith's popular song from the past summer. The Homecoming Court danced to the song right after the traditional lineup and presentation of the court. Students also danced to the same song at the end of the evening. For the first time, because of past problems, resource officers were present at the dance. Students were not allowed to leave the dance and reenter unless accompanied by an officer. Students who needed to go to their cars were required to be escorted by one of the teachers who were serving as chaperones for the event. Students had mixed feelings about law supervision at a school sponsored event. Sophomore Elliott Thaxton said he thought secu- I rity precautions were necessary because "nobody wants things to get out of hand." Other students felt that the supervision detracted from the festivities. The pre sen ta ti on of the Homecoming Queen Krisha Jay and other .... members of the court was [ ,....., a highlight of the dance. -Junior Jennifer Kasey said her most vivid memory "was when Krisha Jay was dancing to an old Michael Jackson song and lots of people crowded around her to watch!"

Students expressed a desire to maintain a certain level of physical fitness as a reason to play an out of school sport. Elliot Agnor said, "I weight lift because it helps me keep in shape and get buff!" Sharing his opinion was Brad Brown, who said, "I play basketball, baseball, and football. I play at all different places because it is fun and I like to stay in shape." Other students simply said that they wanted to stay in shape for a school sport. Mike Bass said, "I play softball over by Victory Stadium to stay in shape for Terrier football." Even though sports such as basketball, football, and baseball are popular, they are by no means the only out of school sports students participated in. Terry Patsel said, "I play ice hockey at the Ice Station for the Jr. Express Bantam Team because it is good practice." Even slightly wilder sports were played by students, such as J. R. Jones.

It was hard work and we had to practi ce for about three months, but I made a lot of friend s and I'm kind of sad that I don' t get to see everyone now." The cast and crew ranged in age from 5 to 23, includ ing stud ents and teachers. N ot only was there a great age difference amo ng the group, but there were over 100 people involved in the production. "It was hard to bring together so many cast members into one production. Some of the actors had their scripts for only a week before the show went on," said senior Ben Caldwell, who played the role of Hunk, a Kansas farm hand. The lead role of Dorothy was shared by 8th graders Sarah Gess and her understudy, Aliesje Chapman. All the understudies also had other roles in the play. When they were not playing their main roles they played the part of extras or worked with the technical crew. Amber Faw, the Wicked Witch's understudy, said, "It was really fun being Nia' sunderstudy and I had a blast doing the children's shows. When I wasn't playing the Wicked Witch I was an Ozian in the Oz scenes." The play had a few major dilemmas but as they say 'the show must go on' . During one of the performances the curtains broke and during practice Uncle Henry (Jacob Baldwin) broke his arm. "Play practice was pretty easy until I fell off a moving car and broke my arm. UncleHenrywas a little banged up come show time, but it was no big deal, "said Baldwin. The play was performed for three consecutive evenings in mid May.

One of the most popular events was the velcro wall. In this event, the participant dressed in a special velcro suit, and jumped onto an air cushioned velcro wall, hoping to stick, u sually upside down or backwards. Senior Kara Norcross p a rticipated and said, "My rear was stuck to the wa ll and I couldn't get down beca use I didn't ha ve enough strength to tea r the velcro apart!" Another popular event was the karaoke machine, which displayed the lyrics to the song as it played, so that the participants could sing along. Also a big hit, a miniature race car course was se t up, so all potential Na scar drivers could have a chance to prove themselves on the track.

The Incredible J ourney 53 �As the world enters the information age and globalization is becoming a reality, teachers, students and administrators are compensating with colorful by Todd Houff screen savers. Teachers have tossed out the stone knives and bear skins and opened up to a vast variety of technological learning tools that will prepare students for entrance into the electronic village of the 21st century. The most notable of many new technotoys was the highly advanced computer network. With brand new Dell computers in every classroom, students and teachers were able to cruise the information super highway in the equivalents of shiny new hot rods with cd-rom drives. "I like having computers in all my classes," said junior Kim Whitlow. "If I ever need to look up something on the Internet for a project I am able to do it in class."

"I think people learn more from doing experiments," said junior Daniel Holdren. "It's easier to learn and remember it when it's right in front of you," Holdren continued. In the catering and family living classrooms the students mixed, baked and cooled down pleasing delicacies. Students ex- changed their desks, pencils, and paper for ovens, spatulas, and cookie sheets to create culinary delights for the whole year. Meanwhile, in the science wing, many young Einsteins-in-the-making put the scientific method into practice and performed laboratory experiments. Using aprons, gloves, and safety goggles, they observed chemical reactions, viewed microorganisms with microscopes, and even dissected pigs.

Even the wood tech students put their hands to good use as they built projects in the class. "Hands on activities help teach the lesson much more effectively," said sophomore Cheyna Hartman. "They allow us to get much more involved," continued Hartman. Opposed to most written assignments, hands on activities could captivate young minds. Those assignments likewise harnessed youthful curiosity and could turn utter confusion into knowledge.

On May 19, students learned about technology by having to survive without it. School officials simulated the 1900s by turning off the school's lights, water fountains, and snack machines. Many teachers did special projects in class related to Integration Day. Students in Mr. Thrasher' s government classes brought in examples of outdated technology and discussed laws related to technology. Mrs. Simpkin's earth science class used weather proverbs to predict the weather. Some teachers even used old-fashioned punishments such as standing in the corner. Members of the SCA ringing cow bells replaced the school's usual bells . The majority of students enjoyed Integration Day. "I thought it was interesting to feel how it was back then," said freshman Josh Williams. Students had to w rite w ith pencils and they were not allowed to use calculators or computers. "Durin g geometry class, Mrs. Layman passed around a turn of the century Geometry textbook and the whole thing was theories. I am glad we have pictures in our book," said sophomore Karla Brown. "It was an eye op en er to see how dependant we are on technology now," said Adam Phlegar. Integration Day showed students w hat life would be like w ithout technology.

The matmen ' s season was off to a strong start as the team won their first eight out of nine dual matches and a very competitive tournament in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. "Our quick start helped keep our confidence up," said Ben Obaugh. Some close losses slowed the grapplers momentum, but a second place finish in the annual Big Orange helped pick them up. As the season came to a close, several grapplers started to push hard towards districts. At the district tournament the team took home second place honors. The regional tournament ended in another second place finish and several wrestlers advanced to state. At the state tournament at the Salem Civic Center, the "Terriers" managed to stay strong. The team finished third and had two individual state champions, senior Chris Madonia and senior Kenis Maciel.

They lost to Northside, Rockbridge, Salem, and Blacksburg. After the setbacks the team won three of its next four matches . The one loss that hurt, however, was the loss to Lord Botetourt 5-4. That loss probably kicked the team out of the district tournament. "The loss t Botetourt really hurt," said Joel Patrick."

A few of these novel habits included Krisha Jay dancing in front of her mirror and Kris McCoy talking to a wall in his room. Jo Beth Tunner enjoyed putting ketchup on almost everything she ate. Betsie Johnson collected Kokepellies(ancient Native American figurines) and Amanda King participated in kickboxing.

These services ranged from serving food at the Rescue Mission to cleaning out animal cages at the Mill Mountain Zoological Park. No matter what the tasks were, the students were a big help to the local area. Depending upon the teacher, students had to either serve two hours each nine weeks or five hours each semester. " I volunteered at the rescue mission because I needed the credit for government class but I enjoyed doing it. I helped children out by playing games," said Neil Cox. A majority of the class said that the time spent helping others mad e them feel better about themselves. Some also said that they wanted to keep volunteering. Others volunteered just for reasons beyond class credit. Kristin Cawley took five hours out of her tim e every week to help sick children at the Ronald McDonald House. Lark Davidson spent at least 60 hours volunteering at an abuse center." I like to see the children play together and to know that there is something I can do to help," said Davidson. Spending time at the Catawba State Mental Hospital and givi ng the patients a friend and an extra helping heart took 120 hours of Amanda Grose's tim e. Each tim e students helped out, someone's life changed, ei ther the student or the person receiving the help.

For many seniors, that means visiting college campuses. Students attended college classes, spoke with students, tasted college food, and started to become acquainted with college life. Seniors also attended information sessions and went on tours of the college campuses. When asked if his college visits affected his decision, Glenn Rife said, "Absolutely not, though I did learn that the Admissions Deans are more evil than lawyers." David Fuqua went to Emory & Henry, Ferum, and Virginia Tech. While he was there, he watched football games and looked around. "I visited the University of Virginia, Cedarville, Mary Washington, and James Madison University. I visited classes and ate the ir food," said Jessica Baratta. Stuart Taylor visited Carnagie-Mellon, Buchnell, the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, the Univers ity of Virginia, and Westministe r. "I visited Sweet Briar, Mary Baldwin, Emory & Henry, Hollins, and Roanoke but Sweet Briar was my favorite," said Kristin Cawley. The majority of the class said that they planned to further their education by going to college and they fe lt that visiting schools was helpful.

Kev in thrc \v th e fi s h back into th e wa te r As summer rolls around and the school bell stops ringing for a while, many families take their yearly summ er trips to lea ve the proverbial rat race behind and get away from. it all. The annual expedition is usually planned months before it takes place, but no matter how well planned the trip is, things do go wrong. More often than not, Mother Nature is the enforcer of Murphy's Law (whatever can go wrong, will go wrong) . She can be quite the trickster as Bryce Chalkley pointed out when describing one of his family's annual treks. "We went to Nag's H ead Beach one year, only to find out that a class four hurricane was headed straight for us," said Chalkley. They were forced to evacuate, but in an ironic twist of fate, the hurricane missed Nag's H ead entirely. Disease can also ruin a trip. Ranging from minor cases of car sickness or a chicken p ox epidemic, these little bugs can make you totally miserable. Emma Murray recalls a trip to Spain with these fond memories. "I was ill, and kept fallin g and hurting m yself. I went home bruised and scarred," said Murray. Then there is the human error. Many people have spoiled their own vacations by doing something that seemed incredibly plausible at the time, yet ex tremely foolish in re trospect. Perhaps swimming in water filled with jell y fi sh, like Rebecca Moore's clan, forgetting luggage, o r getting a rea lly bad sunburn .

While most of the freshmen had average househo ld pets, some students had unique and diffe rent pets as well. Like a dog named Shoppy and two leopard tortoises named Samantha and Oarren. Both Tommy Aldrich and Timmy Bibasodeh own lizards, and] essica Mitchell, Brad Hypes, Shawn Arthur, and Jerem y Bradley own ferrets . Heather Link has a horse, and Michael M o di ca has a chameleon.

In o rd er 10 a void tardie s stude nt s had to carry their hooks around as opposed to gettin g them from their lockers afte r class. As the rising eighth graders became freshmen, many had a difficult time finding classes and their way around the newly renovated high school. It took many students a few days to find their way around the huge building. Lauren Wright said,"It would have been hard finding my class if I had not had the floor plan of the school." Tori Underwood said "I didn't know how the school was laid out." The new freshmen agreed that being in high school gave them more responsibilities. "In the high school we are allowed to have our bookbags. Since being in the high school, we have more time to do our own work and more freedom from the teachers," Matt Sheaff said. Amber Faw had a hard time finding her classes because her schedule was mixed up. The freshmen e nded up in all of the wrong classes on the first day of school. Some freshmen found it very difficult to find their classes, "Finding my classes [was hard] because all of the room numbers were goofed up and I started out in Advanced PE," said Patrick Arbo. After a long first week, freshmen adjusted to their schedules and began to enjoy the beginning of their high school career.

The administration which included prinicpal, Mr. Robert Patterson, assistant principal Dr. Richard Turner, and assistant principal Mr. Anthony Brads, all saw and responded to the changes surrounding them. The emphasis on high state Standards of Lea rning scores and the school report card were among these many changes. A major emphasis was placed throughout Virginia on the SOL tests and how schools should be responding to the results. The tests were not only important for students, but also for the faculty and the administration. Mr. Patterson said," SOLs are a big thing right now, and we are trying to get information out to teachers. We are using blueprints and trying to help teachers learn how to develop test questions which will pre pare students for taking the tests." School report cards were required to be presented to parents and the public. Along with SOL scores in th e areas of English, Math, Science and History, the report cardincluded attendance, safety information, graduation information, and advanced academic programs offered. The administration decided to add a lette r to pare nts with the report card . Administators had hopes that parents would emaphasize the importance of th e SOLs to their children.

Pollard St. Vinton, VA. 24179 Dedication, commitment, and persistance-these are just some of the qualities possessed by William Byrd Marching Band members. While most everyone else is at home or hanging out with friends, band members were working on their show. They practiced sets (creating the formations on the football field) , worked on music, and perfected marching techniques . Marching band members were here Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 3:30-5:30 during the fall. When asked why members joined the marching band, Sophmore Jennifer Bolton replied, "We get in all the football games free and go to cool places no one else does. " Also, Sophmore Meghan Guilliams said, "The best parts of marching band are the feeling of importance when you've done well and spending time with good friends." The members of band played at the football games both home and away. In addition to playing at the football games, the band went to various competitions in September and October. The band played an exhibition at their festival, at Lord Botetourt, the Lynchburg Classic at Lynchburg's City Stadium, and the State Marching Festival in Pulaski County. The band also marched in the Homecoming Parade, the Vinton Christmas Parade, and the Vinton Dogwood Festival Parade. the theme of this year's show was "Love Songs." the songs were: ·· It had to be you," "L.O.V.E. ," "Musetta' s Waltz,"" Great Balls of Fire," " Besame Mucho," and " If ever I would leave you," all arranged by band dirctor Mr. Vail. The band was under dirction of drum majors Kristin Shimp and Sharon Waelti.

" Tasha Neel T aking on the challenge of two new yearbook sponsors, having only five current staff members return, and dealing with the computers did not prevent the staff from keeping up with the hectic deadlines and producing the book. With the upcoming millennium the staff felt many changes were coming about and therefore Change is in the Air became the theme. Signifying the changes were the retirement of our long time principal, Mr. Bob Patterson, new teachers, and various differences throughout the school itself. The Chinese symbol of change become a favorite among the staff and was readily adopted as the logo for the book. The staff itself had to quickly adapt to changes. Mrs. Zorn, the advisor for previous years,retired leaving the responsibility to two young teachers, Ms. Harrison and Miss Mason. The class was brought together into one class in an attempt to help the advisors and the new staff members learn the ropes. The overall outcome of a stressful year brought many friendships and the production of a Black Swan yearbook. : ......... ........r ....-....... .......... ......... ...... .... • • .. • • • • • • t • • • • f ••••• "Being on the yearbook staff has been my favorite activity in high school and I am really going to miss it.

To honor Patterson and the services he provided, students, teachers and staff showed their appreciation for him by dedicating an entire school day to the principal. May 28 was set aside as the official "Patterson Day." The day was filled with practical jokes involving bananas, Mr. Patterson's infamous "Please see me" note imprinted on faculty t-shirts, and student impersonations. The principal was also honored at the annual WBHS retirement dinner held on May 15 at the Hotel Roanoke. The banquet was attended by faculty, staff, retirees, and community members. Patterson also had family from various parts of the country in attendance. Much of his evening was spent playing with his grandchildren. The community also had a hand in Patterson's retirement celebration. A reception was held for Patterson and his family on June 6. After the reception community members had the opportunity to view special Patterson bulletin boards around the school and to leave cards and letters in a giant mailbox in the main office.

The Terriers lived at the speed of life, taking advantage of every opportunity and making memories that would last a lifetime. Motivated by an exceptional faculty, awesome friends, and supportive families, the Terriers made the year infamous in athletics, academics, and community service. Old traditions, such as prom and homecoming, were given facelifts, and new traditions, like the new racecar that proudly wears the Maroon and Orange, established a new identity for our school. The Terriers were living at the speed of life, making every day count, and looking forward at a bright future. ��------ \n Q\ler >> divis ion » s r ori\le the frorn l\ oating down . uoENT LIFE \ta\~ · 1 r ri\/ers i n n tne \ootbal\ \., to sc\lre stands, e tanm \sin'Ygearo studen \,Nnetne ts were n r on t ..t"e r the were rid no Christ ing on mas. pa the \oo rade or dressin " t b a l\ .,oa "in \or S g up as pirit l)l)e eJ<.uded s eK stud scnool uperheroes an ents spirit w u n e rus here\/er scnool scedu\e went. o s and o espite t ' ther eJ heir <.tracurr tirne to icu\ar a worK p cti\/ities art-tirne . \obs, a suppor \ound ttend th t the \ e e horne n i e r Na corning tion at per\orrn dance, oasKetb in scho a\\ gam ol es, don ate o\oo and rais d, \ h e \en e . i e r s we a n d a\o\nogd \cor c re and 5 nooh\ asrp iW \r\t this scnoo\ s p pride . rea \ews, o r dead\1 d id n 't \et no nes s\oW rneworK thern d , cur· own. \ h rno\/e a e \errie nd tool< ·t rtso w ad\/anta nae\r/ee oh1n th ge o\ t \riends n we\tn oe\ore . o p p o t r h e riers and tne ended. \ \ \ e r'/ o U v.noW n ow to \i\ i\/e onc e, /e \i\e to t he \u\\e were \\\ st. \ h e /\ng \n Q \ erriers \/er Dr\\ Je .. . the~ the~ Q1sp\a~ing p\a~s. e\/er~where dennate\~ ~ear ous~ the~ rnone~ \he~ ~ear, e\/er~ on~ uni~ �design > whitney eakin and samantha hoback photo s > the tra velers STUDENTS EXIT THE VALLEY AND TRAVEL THE WORLD qu ck ~ As the weather turned warm and class- Aaron Stidham )> Holly Farris es were waning, students hit the road in pursuit of various adventures.

Summer hot spots included Myrtle Beach, Florida, New York, Chicago, The Dominican Republic, Italy, Mexico, England, and Canada. Students proved that they were not just valley kids; they were world travelers! When asked if they would rather attend school year-round with only small breaks between, students upheld their devout love for summer vacation. Many students, such as senior Brad Petrine and sophomore Aaron Stidham, simply love the long break for relaxation and good times ; whereas others have responsiblities which only the summer can accommo- date, such as Band Camp for the Marching Terriers. No matter what the reason, it was generally agreed that summer vacation is a MUST! Junior Meghan Upchurch said, "This was the best summer ever because I learned a lot about music and made life long friendships!" Senior Brad Petrine said, "I went to England with my family because it was the last summer before my graduation and I had always wanted to go." Whether traveling across the country or across the world, students enjoyed their free time away from the classroom. Summer was a time to relax and have fun, but most importantly it was a time to explore, learn, and grow. story > wh itney ea kin "I loved ju st sitting "I enjoyed perform· "I loved running "I loved spe ndin g in my chair on the ing fo r the el derly on the beac h beach and re adin g and disabled." everyday." time with my fam ily and Miranda ." my book ." -Anna -Ian - Layne Davis Price Gull1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- ~ FREE FALLING Floating in mid-air, sophomore Lexi Mycock and junior Keri Johnson await their bungee-jumping drop.

Everyone turned out to watch the grudge match between the juniors and the seniors. Decked out in orange, maroon, and white, the players took the field unaware that no one would leave without injury. The rivalry on the field was intense, but the seniors came out on top, winning 17 to 14. Despite the action on the field, the most entertaining part of the game was the cheerleaders. Led by "The Duchess", senior Tommy Ella, all eight cheerleaders entered the stadium dressed in mini skirts, spandex, and tank tops stuffed with balloons. "Dressing like a girl was shockingly comfortable," said Ella, "it just felt right." The cheerleaders succeeded in getting the crowd pumped up during the game For the first time, the powderpuff cheerleaders presented a fully choreographed halftime routine. The music consisted of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," the Village People's "YMCA," and Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back." "We went up to Hollins University to practice with Meagan Cupka," said senior Chris Riquelmy. The show was definitely a success, and a video of the performance even made it onto YouTube. From ambulances to stunts, to the inevitable senior victory, the powderpuff game was one of the most memorable events of the year. stor y> samantha hoba ck "We wa nted to "It sho uld become "There was look like the real a tra dition to have defin at ely a hu ge thing --like we were a shor t half-time ri val r y bet wee n on ESPN." show." th e juniors and t he "I was not abo ut t o lose ." se ni or s - Alex -C J -Co ur tney Fisher Yunge r Bushnell Born to be Wild The seniors came up with lots of different ways to show their class spirit.

Instead of using the traditional waistbelts for flag football, the juniors and seniors were given velcro armbands, making the defense's job that much harder. As a result of the ornery velcro flags , players suffered bloody lips, bruises, broken teeth, and even a concussion. Junior Sarah Ashby remembers, "The first play of the game, I got a black eye and a knot on my head. I looked like a unicorn for the homecoming dance!" Despite the brutality on the field, the seniors came out on top fair and square, securing their victory in the last few seconds of the game. �design > whit ney eakin and samantha hoback photos > amb er ca nnaday, gra ce cis co , wingit STUDENTS ARE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO RELAX AND ENJOY THEMSELVES IN THE MIDST OF THEIR FAST PACED LIVES Tyler Caldwell and Mr. Dowdy ~ The glitz and glamour of wearing Madison Gensurowsky and Derek Sheehan Ethan Holder and Sandi Dietrich fancy dresses, high heels, suits and ties, taking snazzy pictures, going out for an extravagant meal, and dancing the night away make the homecoming dance a very exciting time for students. Holding the dance at the high school instead of the middle school provided a positive change to the special evening for many, but the modification was not well received at first glance. Students were displeased in the beginning because the gymnasium lighting was too bright; however, Mr. Dowdy quickly came to the rescue with modest spotlights to enhance the atmosphere and eliminate the huge center light. With lighting that was proper, tunes that were perfect, and attire that was certainly up to par, the scene was set for a magnificent evening. Whether students were grooving to the latest in dance moves, munching on snacks and sipping on punch in the cafeteria, snapping pictures of themselves and friends, flaunting their stylish fashions, or sharing romantic moments with a significant other, there were many fun times to be had throughout the dance. The theme selected , "Lost in This Moment," reflected the feelings of most students, because although their day to day life is always a rush, when they are provided with a time to relax and enjoy being with their peers, it is impossible not to get caught up in an ideal and momentous occasion. story> whit ney ea kin "We grew even "I loved when t he " I had a g reat tim e "I en1 oyed sp ending closer and danced DJ played 'Soulja hangin g o ut with th e eve ning w ith great together."

"Being in band has showed me music is my life and I have always loved it. My favorite experience with band is seeing how things turn out in the end. Overall, it just brings the best out in people," said junior Noah Sterling. After practicing for months before performing, the time came to show off the skills they had obtained over the last few months.

Most of the male seniors were not willing to test their masculinity in front of teachers, parents, and friends; but, these select few were ready to brave it all for the glory of winning the Miss Byrdie title. However, the event wasn't just about courage; their acts required a lot of hard work and skill. The boys attended rigorous practices, two to three times a week, in order to perfect dance moves, speeches, and walks. A few of the cheerleaders choreographed the opening dance to Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time," drawing some inspiration from the original video. Senior Chad Hanna said, "The dances involved a lot of memorization." Much of the work had to be done on the boys' own time. Senior Mark Karkenny said, "Every night I would practice the opening dance in front of a mirror in my wig and outfit." The crowd could see that their hard work had paid off when they busted it just like Britney on stage. The opening was just the start of the boys' display of impeccable skills. Incredible individual talents were to follow, including a Kelly Clarkson solo, a dance from Little Miss Sunshine, the "Jingle Bell Rock" performance from Mean Girls, a iitness routine, ribbon dancing, belly-dancing, and disco roller-skating. Next, the lovely "ladies" dazzled the crowd with their intellectual abilities in the interview portion of the pageant. Unfortunately a few of them digressed from the topics to their love of men, cars, and makeup; but, every "girl" has her faults . At the end of the pageant, the judges deliberated and presented varioius awards, from best hair to best dance routine, followed by first, second, and third place winners. The second runner-up was Chris Cothren, and the first runner-up was Mark Karkenny. The boy who had shown the most dedication and won the ultimate title was C.J.

Their performances were so well-rehearsed and focused that the audience could hardly believe they were acting. Perhaps the most realistic act was senior Mark Karkenny's belly-dancing.

Senior Rebecca Guilliams traveled to Nicaragua for a mission trip . Guilliams said, "People down there are perfectly content living in mud houses with leaves for a roof and dirt floors .

Unless you are a Terrier. Students took advantage of the twelve days off of school to go on mission trips in other countries, prepare for spring sports like soccer and track, shop for the all-important prom dress, work and start saving for college, and reconnect with family on vacation. Both the boys' and girls' soccer teams endured practices all week during Spring Break, but the extra practice was great for building team work and brushing up on their skills on the field. Despite the chilly weather, the Terriers diligently practiced each morning led by Coach Dishman and Coach Collins. Students who have jobs during the school year loaded up on overtime hours while working during Spring Break. "College is so expensive now," said senior Heather Chocklett. "I really benefitted from the extra hours over Spring Break." The ways in which Terriers spent their Spring Break were as varied as the student body itself.

Some students preferred drama to music. There was a great mix of entertainment. Junior Donna Hogan's performance of "I'm Not That Smart" from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was one of the most popular acts of the night. "Being able to be silly and not care what everyone thought was the best part," said Hogan. "I also enjoyed making people laugh." Many of the participants performed multiple songs or acts. Junior Collette Riddle, senior C.J. Yunger, junior Noah Sterling, and senior McKenzi Vail were among the participants with multiple roles . The senior class voted for the hosts of the evening, Vail and senior Tyler Shell. They gave out some unique awards following the performances, making the show even more exciting. The most surprising event of the night was the impromptu dance party onstage in celebration of Riddle's birthday. Juniors Ethan Cockerham and Anna Davis conspired with Riddle's parents to put on a mid-show party with all of her friends.

Spirit spreads into winter and spring sports, as well as various other aspects of school pride . Pep rallies were a favorite way for the spirited students to get riled up. The success of the football team allowed us to have two rallies, one for homecoming and the other for Regions . There was a hula-hooping contest, a dating game, and a limbo contest. There was also a teacher dance-off, where even Mr. Dowdy busted a few moves for the crowd. The basketball team had a strong student section that cheered them on to many victories. Students were seen nightly decked out in bright orange "Terrier Nation" t-shirts, maroon Pep Club t-shirts, or any other shirt they had made on their own . School spirit was immense, and the student section grew tremendously. Sophomore Alison Disher said, "Our student section was huge, and we looked really good wearing our awesome shirts." But, spirit wasn't limited to the students in the crowd . As always, the band and colorguard were successful in bringing the mu sic and the fun to excite the Terrier Na- tion . Cheerleaders led chants and dances to show their spirit. Even the athletic training crew showed spirit by getting players back in the game as quickly as possible so they could set records and represent us to the best of their ability. Whether they were in the stands or right on the sideline, there were always faithful fans dedicated to going to every game and every match to support their peers and show the other teams that we were ready to rumble. story> rebecca guilliams » Whitney Eakin "My favo rit e game "I go to almost "The pep rallies are "I am a foo l for the was distri cts ever y bas ketba ll always fun because limbo'" against Lord Bo - game because I I'm in colorguard tetourt.

However, the ladies on the Dogwood court float stood out the most in their beautiful gowns. Senior Samantha Hoback said, "I loved watching the kids reactions. They called us princesses, and it made us feel special and beautiful." The girls were nominated by teachers based on their overall character. Senior Katie Miner said, "It was great to know that my teachers believe in me and see that I can go far with my dreams!"

Similar to homecoming, prom got a major facelift. Although traditionally prom has been held at the Roanoke Civic Center, the committee decided to step out of the box, and they chose the Vinton War Memorial as the new location. "The new location was wonderful," said junior Kara Thaxton . The newly renovated facility provided a charming background for this year's big night, and its proximity to the school provided further encouragement to the committee in their selection. The decorations were kept to a minimum so as not to take away from the beautiful, newly constructed facility. Filled with candles, lighted balloons, flowers, and mirrors, the ballroom - Fra nk Miller and Pamella Pa lmer Robbie Steve ns and Kara Th axton sparkled with an elegant ambiance. "I loved the little tables around the room," said junior Catherine Hall. Because the War Memorial has a smaller maximum capacity than the previous prom facility, the customary prom elements were modified to adapt to the new location. The traditional senior walk was set on a diagonal, leading from the foyer, through the ballroom , and out to the patio, where many seniors' parents lined up to capture a memorable photo opportunity. "I felt like a celebrity when we went out onto the patio," said senior Katie Haldeman.

Therefore, the AfterProm party provided a great place for students to spend more time with friends while enjoying great food, a variety of games, and extravagent decorations. The theme, "A Night on the Town," was just that, a night full of excitement. This one final bash before the end of the school year was a perfect transition into summer. The decorations most definitely provided a memorable aspect of AfterProm. This thought was expressed by many students including Junior Tyler Prillaman who said, "I have to admit the decorations were my favorite part. They were beautiful." Parents like Mark Frye put in a lot of time and effort to make the decorations and establish the theme of the night. The dedicated parents really 'wow-ed' everyone with the re sults! While some students only participated in a couple AFTER THOUGHTS of activities or simply watched movies, there were activities for everyone to enjoy. Students could try their hand at poker, strap on a velcro suit and fly against the wall, ride the bull, or even make crafts. The inflatable activies such as the velcro wall, bungee cord, and the obstacle course were high on the list of favorites, but after these physically enduring activites, many students wanted a place to cool down and relax. The Vegas Room provided exactly that! This Vegas themed casino allowed students to give gambling a whirl. The room had many different games to choose from including blackjack and poker. Sophomore Katelyn Minton said, "My favorite part was learning how to play all the games."

Many of the wrestlers worked out on their own before school and after practice and learned to reduce their meals in order to cut weight. Freshman A.J.

Sophomore Shane Webb said, "Wrestling has improved me as an individual by teaching me to work harder in life and do my best." Although the majority of the team was made up of younger members, the wrestlers never ceased to show dedication and effort.

Sometimes the effort put out by players and coaches to strive for excellence is the basis for a positive season. This program's strong team atmosphere and rigorous daily training routine continues to prove to its players and opponents that although practice may not equal perfect, it will indefinitely bring pride. Many traditions and customs continue to be passed down through the boys' soccer program from year to year. From Coach Highfill's sixties, to the pre-game huddle, there are some things that never change . Senior Landon Johnson said, "Soccer here is more than just a sport, because we all go through the work together." A program that instills a 'play to win' focus on its players certainly provides the team with the aggression, determination, and heart to succeed. Sophomore Chris Vail said, "I just do what I can to win the game." This 'no pain, no gain' attitude lead the young Terriers to a heartfelt and bittersweet season; but for the underclassmen left to continue the strong tradition of integrity, the future looks bright for scores of additional accomplishments.

Many of the clubs at school are dedicated to community service, including the Leo Club, a branch of the Lion's Club, Beta Club, Reindeer Club, and YOVASO/YADAPP. From piecing together blankets for underpriveleged children to playing Bingo with some of the community's wisest members, students who are involved in service oriented clubs benefit from their experiences long after high school is over. Although many students participate in service oriented clubs, and other clubs, to fulfill community service requirements for classes or post-secondary applications, there are those students whose primary interest is the community itself. They are the students that put service before self, dedicating more than just time away from school to give back to a community that has supported and will continue to support our school for years to come. t::he > 5Rl:~ea L/·--==T~~ �»CHEERFULLY trying out the "beer goggle s," senior Courtney Canterbury experience s what its like to be intoxicated.

From traveling to Lexington to learn about foreign affairs, to sporting togas and eating Roman foods in English, students participated in creative activities that helped them take a more hands-on approach to learning. Sitting in class all day is boring, so teachers chose to get students more involved inside and outside the classroom. Among the many creative learning activities that took school to a new level were dropping pumpkins from the football stadium, dressing up in vintage outfits for the traditional Decade Day projects, baking and cooking food for the homecoming dance, and taking the popular "School House Rocks" performance all the way to New York City.

To put a spin on the standard curriculm, teachers found ways to interest their students by having a little fun in the classroom . This not only sped up the final weeks of school, but to allowed them to find, fresh, innovative ways to learn the necessary material. From toga parties to celebrate the completion of Julius Ceaser with Mrs. Arra, to out of the ordinary poetry readings with Mrs. Asbury, to fake sword fights to rennact a scene from Romeo and Juliet with Ms. Conner, the English department was spicing up the hallway all year long. Teachers made works like Lord of the Flies, The Odyssey, and Wuthering Heights interesting and understandable for their students . For the freshmen and sophomores, literature such as Julius Ceasar and Romeo and Juliet opened their minds to Shakespeare and future readings. Sophomore Stephie Broyles said, "Mrs. Arra has been an amazing teacher and has provided me with the skills I will need for AP, especially because of the writing we've practiced and works we've read." While the juniors and seniors spent a lot of time focusing on preparing for their AP tests, teachers made sure they also got to experience reading American literature pieces like The Crucible and All the Pretty Horses as well as other works like The Great Gatsby and Heart of Darkness. In Mr. Steaurt's English 11 class, a great deal of time was spent on Mock Trials resembling those from The Crucible. Teachers like Ms. Wakeland, for example, were accused, put on trial , and convicted of practicing witchcraft just as a citizen would have been during the Salem Witch Trials. All in all, a jam packed year full of language, literature, composition , and fun exploded into a fulfilling learning experience. story> taylor john so n STARTING FROM SCRATCH Upon the addition of Mr. Steaurt's Journalism class came the fresh publication of Terrier Times .

History never changes, and government is a critical part of our everyday lives, determining how much we pay in taxes, deciding whether we have to take SOLs, and making laws that protect our communities . This year, the Terriers took Social Studies to the next level, getting involved in several significant projects to increa se their understanding of hi story and government. Mr. Kavanaugh's government classes embarked on a semeste r-lon g polling project alongside many groups in the community, including a local television station. Sen ior Chris Mays said, "We did more than just book work in class. We actually worked on things that pertained to current events." The students researched variab les, co nstructed a thorough poll concerning how the public viewed Roanoke as a growing community among many metropolitan s, and analyzed data to determine the pub lic's opinion about the future of economic development in the area. Eliza beth Din gus Mr s. Laug hl1n·s st ud ent s Terriers took political participation to another level by participating in Town Government Day, the Model United Nations Conference in Lexington, and the Model General Assembly. Students learned first-hand the ins and outs of government workings . Senior Jacob Fix, who shadowed the mayor of Vinton, said, "I I wanted to work with the mayor because he is one of the most influential people in our local government." Participants of the Model United Nations and Model General Assembly got a first-hand look into a more complex aspect of the bureaucracy, constructing bills and foreign policy legislation on given topics of interest. The Terriers were "making history" as they continued to go beyond the classroom and learn through participation. Senior Elizabeth Dingus said, "It is important to learn about subjects outside of the classroom .

Earth science, Ecology, Anatomy, and Biology classes help students get a better understanding of the earth they life on, and the body that they live in. Biology classes, near the end of the year, allow students the opportunity to dissect pigs so they can see a similar structure of the human body. Chemistry and Physics classes however, take a more mathmatical approach. The class allows students to calculate changes, both physical and chemical, with the use of caluclators ' formulas , and charts. Labs during class give students a break from these formulas to help them actually see the changes. Junior Morgan Lafferty says that labs "are a big deal in chemistry because they really enhance the learning." However, the big event in Anatomy class, as well as Biology, is the dissections. Along with making the hallways smell like embalm- ing fluid, students actually learn something along the way. Senior Ashton Fallen thinks that "the dissection was a big part in anatomy because no matter how many worksheets you do, and how many lessons you go over, none of it can compare to seeing the actual thing in front of you." After the labs, students can have a visual image of what their teacher is actually talking about, and their visual image beats any picture they could be shown. Senior Katie Miner said about the dissection, "The anatomy of our bodies is much more complex than most people think." With the help of the dissecting, the caluclating, the formulas, and the test tubes, science prepares students for the SOLs and regular life. story > ashlie robertson IT'S NOT AU.

Some, like senior Brittany Sutton, will remember the huge amount of homework. Others, like freshman Hallie Spradlin, will remember the ease of their courses and the fun things they did in class. Junior Ashton Witt, one of the few students who stuck it out in AP Calculus, said, "When I get older and look back at the class, I will most remember the many people who dropped out in the beginning, the excessive amount of homework, and the food volume project." Many students will remember the fun activities that they did in their math class more than they will remember the information. For the annual celebration of Pi Day, Ms. Fay's geometry class brought in cookies, cupcakes, and pies of all sorts to enjoy the fun side of mathematics. In Mrs . Wise's Geometry class, the students did a worksheet and then had pleasure of eating their M&Ms after they had completed the assignment. Mrs. Wise said, "There is good competition and positive encouragement among the peers." Some people think they will never use half of the information that they have learned in their mathematics classes in their day to day lives, and this is the attitude adopted by many students. Junior Kara Ransom said, Hallie Sp r adlin and Kimb erly Lyo n Ryan Markham and Mrs . Wise "Sometimes I feel like some of the things that I learned in my math class aren't beneficial for my future jobs. They seem pointless and definitely a waste of paper and time!" But, in looking back, there are quite a few students who will remember the vital skills they learned from math. For instance, those who go to Arnold R. Burton specialize in certain skills to help them prepare for a future job, such as engineering. Others in advanced classes appreciate the logical skills developed in math. AP Calculus, one of the hardest classes in the school, was a true challenge to those who braved the homework and other assignments, but the students who took the class will look back in a few years and be grateful that they did. Even in Algebra, the basic skills that students learn are carried throughout their high school experience. All in all, everyone strove to do their best and finish on a high note when it came to completing their core curriculum. Freshman Kimberly Lyon summed up the feelings of many by saying, "The best thing about math this year was just making good grades and getting one step closer to graduation." story > stephanie page Katie Martin and Jordan Lee Mrs. Wise and Kelsey Tripp "My favorite part was all of th e goofing off.

Some students took a foreign language to follow in the footsteps of their parents. Freshman Emily Bedwell said, "I choose to take French because my mom took it, and I am glad I did because it is very interesting to learn a new language." Other students took a foreign language ju st to spend time with their friends in class. They were surprised when they found out learning a foreign language is not an easy task. Freshmen Courtney Ellis explained, "I took a foreign language to spend time with my friends . I never expected it to be such a challenging class." Students who took Latin, German, Spanish, or French are sure to benefit in the future . Many students took a foreign language to increase their chances of getting into a better college. Sophomore Laura Belcher explained, "I chose to take a foreign language so I could get an advanced diploma, start my life in a good college, and ensure an amazing future. " Sophomore Julianne Sweat said, "I want to engage in international trade in my future, so taking a foreign language is important." Whether the reason for taking a foreign language class is the food , the friends , or the future, learning a foreign language has an enormmous pay off in the end.

Whether it was painting, taking pictures, or creating a fabulous plate of food, each class was its own type of art. Art draws in people's attention all over the school and community, in addition to allowing students to express their personal artistic abilities, making it a truly vital academic department. During the spring, the department held an art show open to the public to display students' artwork and auction off some of their masterpieces. At the art show, there was face painting and arts and crafts conducted by some of the art students. Photography was also displayed in the art show. Students displayed great interest in photography and loved being the master mind behind the camera. "My favorite thing about photography would have to be that I can express my thoughts and share them with others through my photographs," explained senior Tima Hambleton. Katelyn Minton learned valuable lessons through culinary arts that they can use past high school to help them cook well in the future. "Before I took culinary arts, I couldn't prepare half of the dishes I now know how to prepare," said gracious sophomore Andrea Trenor. Mrs. Fitzpatrick did a fabulous job with the cooking students. Sophomore Amanda Gibson added, "My favorite thing that we did this year in culinary arts was making and decorating cakes."

Digital photography students also learned what can be done with the pictures once developed. Senior Chris Barnett said, "It's technology. What's not to like?" The words from the enthusiastic senior explain it all. Technology classes not only offer credits towards a diploma, but the students who take them are given the opportunity to gain experience doing something they love to do. According to sophomore Phillip Gilmore, "the advantages of taking a technology class are learning to use new programs that are used by professional s and maybe having a chance of becoming one myself." Coach Chocklett teaches the technical drawing classes and explained that when taking technology, students get to learn about technology while having fun working with it. The technology department continues to contribute to brighter futures for students of our generation and the ones that will follow. Coach Chocklett described his classes as, "fun, few tests, and project based ," so who wouldn't want to be a part of it? story > haley nicely Sam Powell Bryce Aker "Technology is one of the most rewarding classes that ca n be taken.

It offered more than book work or watching videos. Air Force JROTC allowed students to get the full concept of self-discipline and the foundation of their future. The class opened student's eyes to the real world by putting them in situations that will be helpful to them to know in later years. Sophomore Krae Heath: "I've learned more responsibility, discipline, and that AFJROTC is a brotherhood." Understanding yourself by strengthening your personality, helped students realize goals that lie ahead. The curriculum has allowed many new cadets to experience something new in life besides just opening a book on a regular basis. It allows them to get to know other people who have the same interests, enjoy having fun but getting the job done, and also staying true to themselves by finding out what path of the Air Force they want to go down. In joining the AFJROTC, students were helped realizing those goals. Cadets enrolled in AFJROTC in the hopes of having an idea of what lies ahead in their future. They start out on their early teen years and most of them follow through to fulfill their Air Force dreams. The class has created interest in both males and females. AFJROTC has also helped many students stay on the right track and allowed them the opportunity to learn how to train their behaviors, reactions, and feelings. Senior Daniel Wickham explained that his favorite part of AFJROTC was, "being able to have leadership and run your own business." This special curriculum also allowed the cadets to learn many skills that will be used in the real world. Many times throughout the year, the cadets were able to participate on hands on activities such as: learning and memorizing drills, field trips to naval bases, and dressing once a week in their uniforms. They were also present in many school activities including football games, the annual 9/ 11 ceremony, and burning of the flag. Each activity shows the true potential and dedication of all cadets. storp meghan shumate and chelsea sledd "The leader experience this year has been amaz ing 1 It has definitly taught me a lot about life an d I love itl " - Kelly Pu gh �Chelsea Sledd McKenzi Vail and Corrie Richards Aaron Lyles t8 Creating music takes a lot of time and skill, but to some, it's worth it in the long run. Band and choir classes gave opportunities to students that want to progress in the music industry or have a career involved with playing instruments or singing. The classes also provided a chance to interact with other students with similar musical interests. Many students wanted to take a band or choir class because they had a high interest in making music. Other students wanted to take advantage of the extra time to relax and get away from their core classes. "I look fo rward to going to my choir class because it gives me time to relax and a chance to do something I rea lly enjoy," said senior Heather Saunders. Whether it was blowing into a trumpet, or singing into a microphone, students loved having the chance to show off their musical talents. Choir and band concerts were held throughout the school year to show how well students had progressed. "I love going to band concerts and playing in front of audiences Michael Carner and An drew Moms because it gives me a chance to show off my skills," said junior Allison Fleischhauer. Competitions were held occasionally and involved traveling around the state or even the country. Competing against other schools got students pumped and encouraged them to do better. "Going to competitions is always exciting because it gets all of us fired up and ready to play," sa id senior Jessica Weaver. Awards were usually given to those who presented the most talent during their shows. The band and choir students were also involved with local parades. Marching down the streets during the Vinton Christmas Parade and the Vinton Dogwood Parade wa s a highlight for many of them. They enjoyed playing or singing in front of the locals, their family members, and their friends. Whether they were belting out notes in the classroom or showing off their talents on stage, students enjoyed expressing themselve s through their music. story > kara ransom "My favorite part abo ut being in band is having the opportunity to be part of a group of people who all work together and try to make a piece of music sound good."

"Finance is essential! Everyone needs to know about budgeting, credit, debt, home purchasing, insurance, etc. The sooner you start creating positive habits, the better," said Mrs. Hancock. Students in marketing participated in an activity called the "Stock Market Game" where the students were put into teams and given $100,000 dollars each to invest in stocks. One of the teams won second place in the region. Along with finance , the classes also learned about different digital tools they could use in the future in their education and employment. They also learned about programming by doing lego robot project where they learned to train a lego robot to perform different functions . Mrs. Cassady's fashion marketing class consisted of twenty girls. "A class full of girls has it's pros and cons. We struggled in the beginning, but we really grew as a family," said Mrs. Cassady. The fashion marketing class participated in a project in which the students created a Fashion Designer magazine. Each student picked a designer and created a full magazine including every aspect about their designer. Business and marketing classes give students a full understanding of the world and how to deal with money. The classes definitely helped the students walk away with better knowledge on how to handle finacial situations they may have in the future, and even what to wear in order to keep up with with today's fashion industry. Each student took something new away from the class. "I feel the students should take advantage of the responsibilty learned from the class and hopefully use it to the best of their abilities," said Mrs. Hancock. story > kimbe rl y ha ll "My favori te activity in class was the DECA com petition be ca use I dominated and qualified for states." -Ben Broyles �>> business and marketing>> ACADEMICS » USING his computer, senior Alex Fisher works hard in class .

However, most students enjoy gym and even take a gym class after they obtain the required credits they must have to graduate. "I love gym not just because I have the best gym teacher ever, but because it keeps me in shape," said freshman Jodi Overstreet. Gym students participated in many sports, such as basketball, handball, lacrosse, volleyball, archery, bike riding, rock climbing, softball, and soccer. Freshman Amy Barrett said, "I like gym because it gives you the opportunity to try out different sports you normally wouldn't try on your own." Being in gym class also means you must take physical fitness tests. The tests include the pacer run, sit and reach, flexed arm hang, trunk, and sit up tests . "The trunk test was new this year and it was really cool to see what my back flexibility was," said freshman Taylor Patterson. Others, such as freshman Andrew Ferguson, said, "I like the pacer run because it puts me in the competitive mood and makes me try to outrun all the other people in my class." Our school welcomed two new gym teachers and said goodbye to one. Mr. Dishman and Ms. Recchia were two new staff members that worked as Physical Lau ren Thomason and Cammie Robinson Taylor Shelton and Evan Nicely Education and Health teachers at our school. Freshman Morgan Canterbury said, "Ms. Recchia is a really good health teacher and I've really enjoyed being in her class ." However, we had to say goodbye to Mr. Bernard who had worked at our school for many years. Sophomore Evan Nicely said, "I feel really special to be in Mr. Bernard's last gym class ever. He will really be missed next year." After one year of gym, you can pick a certain category of gym to participate in. The types of gym classes you can choose from are team sports, individual and dual sports, dance and aerobics, and strength training and conditioning. Through each of these different types of gym courses, they can get you to the next level of fitness . "I like being able to choose which type of gym I get to be in," said sophomore Taylor Shelton. Gym is an overall plus at our school and it's great to see students getting involved and being active inside school. It is also a proven fact that being more lively and awake can help you do better in your classes.

Most students feel that voting is a great privilege and that the 2008 election is very important for a number of reasons. Senior Chelsea Farmer, a liberal, said, "Our country is in a position where we need a strong leader to correct our economy and our foreign affair issues. This election could be pivotal in deciding if our country continues to go down the same path or changes in order to keep up with the rest of the modern world and remain a world power." Farmer will vote for Obama because she feels the Democratic party is more forward thinking and better represents her views. However, senior Richard Kevorkian, a conservative, feels that a Republican is needed to safeguard our country from threats at home and abroad, and he wil l vote for McCain. Despite their different views, Farmer and Kevorkian both agree that voting is a person's civic duty and that it is very exciting that the seniors will have a chance to vote for the first time.

Beloved fellow student Adam Wickham suddenly lost his life after collapsing while running the mile, which was later found to be a result of a fatal heart condition. As a member of the boys' middle school soccer team , Adam was not only athletic but also demonstrated leadership, dedication , and determination on and off the field.

Rather than mourn his death, friends and family celebrate Adam's life. Adam's death impacted people to strive for greatne ss, value every day as if it were the last, cherish every moment with loved ones, and live life to the fullest. While Adam was not physically present to walk across the stage with his graduating class on June 12th, 2008, hi s presence was felt and will never be forgotten. �» SURROUNDED by his family and Dr. Turner, Travis Coffman signs with Patrick Henry Community College to play baseball for their team. » FULL OF SPIRIT, Jordan Mullen and Pamella Palmer cheer on the football team at a home game.

When she was young her family moved from Liberia to Ghana. While they were in Ghana, her family went hungry and had to sell soap for food. When Diamond's mother started getting bad stomach pains, Diamond's father took her to the hospital. She was told that she had colon cancer. Stevens said, "When my mom was diagnosed , I asked God to take me instead of her." With the help of a doctor from France and family in New Jersey, enough money was raised for her family to come to America. Diamond's mother died in March 2008, but her spirit will live in Diamond forever. Di amond has truly become an inspiring role model for eve ry young girl, and she hope s to keep that going by trying out for America's Next Top Model one day. �»TOSSING out some nerd signs, sophomores Dennise Westland and Samantha Wills show off their sweet costumes during spirit week.

Most of them missed having seven forty-five minute classes all in one day and found block sc hed uling to be quite a hassle. Others mi ssed old friendships that had faded beca use of different schedules. Also, they did not get to see each other as often during sc hool bec ause they we re all around the building instead of in the same hallway, not to mention there were a lot more people. Lani Maddox missed her old tea chers. Maddox sa id, "My teac hers not only taught me a lot of th ings , but they we re also like a support system to me throughout midd le sc hool." So me students said that t hey wou ld return to mid dle sc hool if they coul d ju st to rega in their old friends. But, despite the changes , most stu dents agreed that high schoo l was a great new experience , one they wo uldn't want to give up. 16:z> �"Me and my fr iend Devin both believe not to break a mirror so we don't have seven years of bad luck.

From sponsoring school dances, to coming out for Friday night football games, to donating items for drives, to flying their orange and maroon flags, the neighboring homes and businesses did a lot for our school. Many of our memories from high school occur outside of the school campus. Whether its hanging out at McDonald's after a big game or grabbing breakfast at the TacoShell before school, the Terriers spend a lot of their time in the community. Seniors definately appreciated scholarships provided by Terrier fans, and athletes really benefited from the wave of orange and maroon that showed up to all of the games.

Ka lyn Molnar Ashlie Robertson Kasey Short Sara Landrum Chelsea Sledd 0 �>> colophon>> ADS & INDEX Brittney Ellis and Emily Yeatts Kara Ransom Kimberly Hall Heather Christley Black Swan, volume 75, was published by Herff Jones in Charlotte, North Carolina. The yearbook publishing consultant was Mr. Steve Kent, and the plant representative was Mr. Mark Plyler. The contract photographer was Wing IT. The theme was The Speed of Life because the students felt everything in their lives was very fast paced. However, we found it was still possible to cherish memories during the crazy experience of high school. The staff's goal was to include the majority of the student body in the book three times, and that was achieved through photos and the students' responses. The cover was a custom four-color process lithograph with a combination of gloss and matte lamination. The staff developed the design and submitted the artwork press-ready without the assistance of a plant artist. The same "rush" graphic was used again in the opening and divider design . The colors involved were a version of school colors, with some added appeal from brighter, complementary colors. All pages were printed on a Komori SuperPerfector 10-color press at 175-line screen, and all photos passed through Herff Jones' "tonal enhancement" process to ensure the best , reproduction. The book is printed on 80-pound premium gloss text and in process color. Type for this volume is Photonica, Sansumi and the News Gothic family. All body copy is set 10 over 14, while captions are 9 over 12. The staff used Adobe lnDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2 and Herff Jones software to produce the book on eight Dell Windows-based computers. Special thanks to Dr. Richard Turn er for continuing to support the book and the staff. LeighAnne Vulgan for helping us keep watch over our finances. Joe LeGault for helping to secure computers and software liscenses to make our lives easier. Mrs. Nancy Chewning for laying the foundation for a wonderful book and continuing to Provide inspiration and assistance. And for the amazing laugh. Miss Sharon Conner for doing such a great job adapting as the adviser for the first year and helping us make the book a success. And last but certainly not least, MR. STEVE KENT for teaching us that yearbooks are Magic! And for using his skill and expertise to help us make ours especially magical.

Diagnosed with colon cancer in December, Dr. Turner underwent surgery and chemotherapy treatments while continuing his duties as principal. Always having a smile on his face and proudly declaring "Accept Only the Best at WBHS," Dr. Turn er remained strong and chose to live life to the fullest despite his illness. After coping with cancer, Dr. Turner said, "I am more thoughtful, gentler, kinder, and attentive now. I am more sensitive to others, my faith in God has been strengthened, and my family has become the most important part of my life - my wife, my stepkids, my brother - I make time for them always." His advice for students? "Always be kind regardless of the situation."
