MARSHALL, JR. It has been an unwritten tradition that no formal dedication be included in the various editions of the EQUESTRIA. No one loves and respects tradition more than Frank C. Marshall. Jr., Headmaster of the Birmingham University School. Certainly the 1968 EQUESTRIA would never seek to offend tradition; but in the light of Mr. Marshall's great service to our school; his enormous human compassion; his faithful love of beauty; his total sense of justice to all; and tremendous vitality, replete with the grace of humility; it seems only natural to mark his fifth year in the Headmoster’s chair by dedicating the 1968 EQUESTRIA to him. s —The Staff. 6 Amidst the cocophony of arrivals in the early morning, o bell rings at eight A.M. and order falls over B.U.S. — our school. This very act defines its meaning and indicates the breadth of its human scope. Joy reigns; order reigns. Through it men learn together, not only the literature and science of man, but also the nature of his human relationships. We work these relationships out together. This makes the story of our school year — working out our lives together. The EQUESTRIA 1968 scans this panorama. 7 � 2 S ,■ M . iv.

McCOMlSH The 1968 Seniors hove been known throughout their B.U.S. career for various accomplishments and deeds. The self-proclaimed leaders in every endeavor, the Seniors led the way in many constructive and destructive fields. Perhaps their most cherished achievement being their renowned prowess in athletics. Composing the entire '68 varsity basketball team and most of the track teem, the Seniors gained quite a reputation. Individual honors were also many; school ana state offices, state recorus, published writings and scholarship offers, went to the '68 Seniors as never before in B.U.S. history. Their fads and idiosyncrasies were many, much to the dismay of some and amusement of others. All the plans and schemes had their effect or took their toll on B.U.S. Their ups and downs affected the school and the up-in-orms faculty. They left their special mark on every instructor that survived a year with the Benevolent Brotherhood. The many years of comradeship blended the individuals into a unit. Their work and play together made for a tangible spirit among the graduating twelve. Friendship and admiration for each other added to the daily life of the Seniors, whether in the routine schoolwork or a new mischievous undertaking. With confidence in their capacity to lead, the Seniors represented Birmingham University School in a special way, and at the culmination of their high school education can look back with pride and a sense of accomplishment on these days.

Although track doesn't seem to be the Juniors' fort, they are avid supporters of the track team as shown by their attendance at the Aloboma State Indoor Track Meet. But perhaps their greatest athletic endeavor has been K. F. L. (Knee Football League), Juniors have been dominantly active in all phases of school publications. They have also been involved in the school government and active in the field of art. Stronge odors drifting through the halls have for some unknown reason been blamed on the Juniors' Chemistry class. In Math they have developed psychiatric mental blocks for logarithms. If the Junior class can successfully overcome final exams, they will become next year's Senior class and hopefully will continue their search for excellence. The Juniors ore indeed the class to watch. u David Allison Fred Beason Chris Blake Fred Brasseale Steve Campbell Mike Epsman M THE SOPHOMORES The Sophomore doss of 1968 - brilliant, scholarly, dashing -headed its course towards excellence os never before in B.U.S. history. Instituting car washes, poetry showings, and an Oreste io venture they have kept alive the traditional B.U.S. spirit. Surpassing past classes, the Sophs have proven themselves in all fields. Being representative of the Student Council, track squad, basketball and football teams, and the publications staff the Sophs have indeed taken on more than the customary sophomoric burden. Such a class can certainly hope to reach the height of excellence sometime in 1970, os they leave B.U.S. with their mark on it and its mark on them. Encompassing such a kinetic record of former achievement the Sophomores of 1968 will assuredly reach out for new heights as Juniors in 1969.

'Look what we've accomplished. And our elders will look back and see what the ninth grade has accomplished and they will see nothing. Of course, I'm speaking relatively. I don’t believe that any class in the history of B.U.S. has mode such an impression on the trivia of the world. But this is not the entire realm of the Ninth's achievement. We have also achieved in athletics (our Freshman team probably had the best team spirit of any team); scholarship (Mr. Homes comes back from Bryces next week); and leadership (un- fortunately the ninth grade members were leading the way out the school doors). In the opinion of the teachers, this year's frosh will probably be the best remembered. Mr. Parker seems to have great predictions for the Ninth. But Mr. Homes seems to have won the ninth's vote for this year. I think we all should admire his fortitude for sticking by us even as we butchered the English language and revealed the hidden meaning of Shakespeare's ploys. One can see that the ninth grade has truly achieved this year and that we will certainly be super Sophs next year.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL When o studont attends Birmingham Unfvorsity School, he con leave it as an educated, well prepared young man. ready to find his place In the world. Education comes not only from the ocodemic process but also from tho democratic process. In our school the democratic process is represented by tho Studont Government. The Student Council strives to allow the students themselvos to manage the affairs with which they are concerned with the finol purpose of each being to bettor the school. It is important to realize that the Council i$ a servant of the students, but sorves no valid function without full student body participation. This is the reason why the Birmingham University School hos always prided itself on the work that council has done for the school. The Council is composed of the President, Vice President. Secreiory, and Treasurer, os well as two representatives from each upper school class. Those officers ond representatives ore elected for one ycor. The purpose of the Council Is found in the will of the students. B.U.S. Is not run by the faculty alone. Neither teachers nor students would have It thot way. The students ore responsible for their school ond learn from this responsibility the foundation of manhood. Tho students are responsible for their council. Through It wo have soft drink machines, a book store, school dances, car washes, raffles, chartered buses to the oway bosketball gamos, and mony other activities. The Council's activity lies in the Integration of faculty, student, and patron support. Without this support tho council's importance becomes invalid and spirit made manifest is weakened 90 EQUESTRIA STAFF Firs Row, Left to Right: Milton Bresier, Lomont Ross, Business Manager; Edward Stevens, Bill Whitaker, Editor; Jim Palmer, John Holcomb, Mike Epsman, Photographer; Steve Campbell, Hugh Nabers, Bill Lehman.

ART SHOWS AND RECEPTIONS Monthly exhibits of fine art hang in the Birmingham University School Town Hall as a permanent, yet ever changing, feature of the school environment. The wide variety of special interests that engross the B.U.S. student is evidenced by the extraordinary pleasure he takes in surveying the arts of Alabama and the Southeastern states. Art in the Town Hall, originally conceived as a method to decorate our community meeting place and at the same time attune the B.U.S. man to the creative aspects of his local environment, has become a community institution and something of a mecca for many competent professional artists throughout the state.

LANCE AND BOAR FEAST Once a year the B.U.S. man takes time out of his personal schedule and in a cooperative venture with his fellow students arranges a gigantic banquet to honor his father and the fathers of his friends who comprise the B.U.S. student body. The Lance and Boar feast officially sponsored by the Troubadours, the dramatic honor society, features good food, good entertainment, good speakers, and good fellowship that spotlights that uniquely important relationship between father and son. GROSS-OUT DAY Throughout the winter months, the B.U.S. mon and his trusty cravat trudge their way to school through the various assaults of the elements. Then, a leaf appears; perhaps a spring bird is heard; and anyone could then guess that Gross Out Day is near. The tie, an understandable onus, makes its lost ditch stand the day before spring holiday when in a variety of bewitching get-ups the B.U.S. student body grosses it out for another school year. ftO The Newly Elected Student Council Officers ore: Drew Scott, President; Sam Upchurch, Vice-President; Scotty Green, Treasurer; ond Prince Warnock, Secretary. STUDENT COUNCIL Every year in May, crowds of gay posters throng the halls of B.U.S. ‘Vote for me. they all proclaim! Vote for the candidate because he is interested in serving his school and working hard for it. The democratic process is at work. This seasonal occurrence celebrates the intense devotion and involvement of the B.U.S. man in school life. It is a conglomerate offering up of spirit, competition, and recreation. It is the student working and living together with his friends.

Scholarship is the base measure by which men are considered for this recognition. The qualities of leadership, character, and service must be in impeccable order to poss the rigid entrance requirements that the faculty lays down for memberships In the societies. No higher honor and no greater responsibility can be accorded a B.U.S. man, for this singles him out os a leader of his group and a beocon whose beam can be trusted for proper directions.

This special festive occasion is the highlight of the Spring quarter at B.U.S. Everyone under the guidance of the student council pitches in his various talents and creates a spectacle of tents, an array of good fun, food, and general merriment. The quality of the day is accentuated by the spirit of cooperation that this end of the year fling engenders throughout the school community.

GRADUATION Commencement is the solemn night-lighted occasion when B.U.S. bids forewell to its current batch of Seniors and sends them on their woy to America's colleges. The school is a very tight-knit unit; therefore these occasions are very sentimental and usually marked with a certain strained pomp. They are attended by all of the student body who come not only to see this ultimate fulfillment of the academic course of study, but also to observe the various high honors that the school offers its students presented on this occasion.

Such a trogic fall was not without reason. Denson ond Barton, the number two and four men respectively, suffered injury and sickness and their subsequent loss put the team in a crucial position. Confronting the apex of competition Milton Bresler placed second in the race; Moon took o sure-footed third; and Palmer, a newcomer, finished tenth followed by Ross in thirteenth place. These men were the only ones to letter as one of the most grueling crosscountry seasons came to an end. In the B-Team division, Mulkey was number one man on the B.U.S. Team.

The 1967-68 Basketball Squad must be rated the best in B.U.S. history. Compiling twenty-two wins and only four losses, this year's varsity gained a reputation throughout the state. A great B Team also left its mark in B.U.S. history, going undefeated in twenty games. Surpassing all past team's achievements, the varsity won its own Christmas Tournoment for the fifth time In as many years; won the Area Tournament at Ragland; and participated in the Regional Tournament where we were barely edged out of the State Tournament by Valley Head. Individual distinctions were also great as Harry Moon was selected to the All-State Team and Milton Bresler received Honorable Mention from the state. Phil Mulkey was named Coach-Of-The-Year, os he pushed the Knights through a singular year in which the Varsity scored over one hundred points in eleven of their twenty-six games. 79 00 lomont Ross Edward Stevens Shuford White Coach Mulkoy and Scotty Greene (Manager) VASSltV OPP 8-tEAM cpp tot 33 rujlon Spring! 56 34 86 65 Appalachian 64 36 85 42 ndion Spring 57 29 98 60 Appalachian 68 32 76 55 Col ro 64 21 17 50 locot’ Fora 54 43 se 61 W«r£n ) 45 42 105 66 Cl � � lond 72 24 82 66 FaM b 57 45 77 71 W ti-End 48 42 78 56 Moyd n 103 71 Roglooi! 116 4) Oov Grov 64 23 100 70 thcriby 74 56 83 72 L d� 41 38 67 80 Foirfiab 46 36 56 64 thor� by 60 45 66 S3 locust Fa'b 47 35 111 38 W � i j K (ton 67 17 137 54 W U l W aon 67 18 104 51 Oak Grov 73 35 too 72 Cl v iar,d 93 25 121 90 Col«ro 61 29 78 58 A.SJ3 57 50 Poglpnd 53 77 Vall y H od THE B”TEAM Front to Back: Drew Scott, Fred Beoson, Steve Cantrell, Jim Barton, John Holcomb, Lee Jockson, Milton DotnoM, Sam Upchurch, Chuck Speir, Tom Smiley, Johnny Ribe.

FOOTBALL TEAM Led by four freshmen and Coach Long, the Y.M.C.A. football team pushed through a great season the best in B.U.S. history. Compiling eight wins and three losses, the team recorded itself os a landmark, beating every team in their league save Berry. The three losses, twice to Berry and once to the North-East Y team were indeed justified for Berry won the Valley Championship and the North-East Y Team was the number one city team. Team leadership vested itself in the freshmen on the team. Wheeler Sewell was high scorer, with a fantastic sixty point record and was all-around Savage ; and Chuck Dunham, the outstanding lineman and Rick Ferguson, a substantial end, concluded the ninth grade members.
