Goldbug Mascots

"You may have already received this information -- Byron High School, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma, had Goldbugs as its mascot until it consolidated with Driftwood in the early 1950's.

The mascot became Eagles after consolidation. My father (Wayne S. Guffy) graduated with the class of 1942.

The OkieLegacy reaches all the way to the Middle East. I am a retired military officer (Aviator) and have spent most of my adult life working for the government in one form or fashion. I was born in Alva, August, 1948. I can honestly say that a museum was made out of my birthplace, ha!

My parents still live on the family farm near Byron. I attended NWSC (NSC) in Alva from 1966-1969, prior to entering the military and going through flight training. I enjoy OkieLegacy very much. I especially enjoyed the continuing story about the coed that died under mysterious circumstances southwest of Alva (Ann Reynolds' Fiery Death )." -- Wayne S. Guffy, Jr., Byron-Driftwood High School Class of 1966   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
