EQUESTRIA BIRMINGHAM UNIVERSITY SCHOOL BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA 1971 For three years Miles H. Lovelace has brought to B.U.S. his great elan vital, his inimitable charm and wit, and his superb leadership. B.U.S. under this leadership saw Southern Association accreditation come to the school as well as membership in the National Association of Independent Schools. Students have been accepted in college from Am-hurst in New England to Tulane in the Deep South, a fine record for graduating classes. While Mr. Lovelace served as Headmaster the massive debt, incurred over ten years, was paid in a successful fund drive. Now Mr. Lovelace is leaving to accept a position with Anatolia College in Greece . . . returning him and his wife to the Middle East, an area of the world near to their hearts. We know that B.U.S. owes him an enormous debt; we can only repay it by continuing to grow and progress. As a token, however, of our great esteem the staff of the 1971 Ecjuestria dedicates this volume to him. 4 Mrs. Flowers . . . when 1 first saw her I thought that she would be a selfish old lady . . . but she wasn’t . . . She is almost perfect . . . She is overflowing with patience . . . What 1 like about her is that she is understanding and always warns you the first time . . . But sometimes she gets a little mad at us . . . When she gets mad her cheeks turn rouge . . . After all she would be just plain crazy if she didn’t get mad at us sometime . . . Even when I am grown I will remember her in my heart as a great teacher and person. The Sixth Grade RICHARD INGRAM KYLE Yuk. Yuk, Yuk: If it isn’t old Dick Kyle. Want a bit of spicy humor? Well, let me direct you to the class clown, the prime mover of mischief, and the wit of the OmniBUS staff. Dick is the master of the sly dig; nothing is sacred to this guy. 11c is the current treasurer of the Student Council and at that job, there is no humor or trifling; here he is serious. He has supervised the vending machines around the school with the greatest efficiency in the history of this Student Council project. He is a top notch basketball player and a starting member of the team. He has been an invaluuble personality in the Knights Day festivities since that day of fun and games was instituted as what Dick has laughingly referred to as “instant tradition at B.U.S. He was the hit of the Faculty-All Star vs. Seniors annual football game bedecked in gym shorts covered with valentines; Mr. America every year,” they said. 6 JOSEPH WHEELER SEWELL, III Wheeler is one of the big stars of the B.L'.S. basketball team and certainly this is one of his consuming interests. Wheeler is very loyal to the team as he is to the school. Most of his friends feel that this is his very best trait. He is one of the aquanauts and after the water Logan Martin begins to warm up you will undoubtedly find him on skis in the middle of the lake. He has a passion for the University of Alabama, and he hardly misses a game during the fall season. Wheeler is a prototypical big-man-on-campus. He is on the Headmaster's Advisory Committee, President of the Honor Court, and has been the Secretary of the Student Council. Needless to say to those w ho know him, Sewell has a temper second to none; but then nobody is perfect. Having been here since the fifth grade he has seen this school grow into something, which was the culmination of eight years of toil and work and which helped to make his senior year a most successful and rewarding one. JERRY BRUCE HELLMAN Small beams of light are making reflections in my dark room Inside the dark, small beams climb the wall, Now I’m walking down an empty hall. Where’s this tunnel lead, I can’t see the end. Don’t know, but I got to keep moving Maybe something’s round the bend. 7 CHARLES RICHARD BYRD, III He has what few have known And what most continue to seek— A spirit that transcends. It is uncontrollable, rampant. Because of it, he seems truly happy. If so, his very, very unique DAVID RANDALL PONDER A member of almost every theatrical production of recent years: he’s a real “put-on ’. A quiet leader of such note in the J.C.L that he is often compared to Caesar. More Nero than Caesar, however, he favors recreational and relaxing activities. lie was a star member of the football team and is an avid golfer. Although, generally, he tends to be a quiet fiddler a la Nero. 8 EDWARD CRAMPTON HARRIS, III Days which cast long shadows Will forever be stamped Just as a lingering sun Leaves dancing reminders of What will never be again. GEORGE FREDERICK WHEELOCK, III George Wheelock has been at B.U.S. for eight years; he started here in the fifth grade. He was on Mr. Schick's “Y” football team; they lost every game and Mr. Schick never coached again. He was manager of the “Y” basketball, track, and football teams. He was (among his other feats) twice in the Slow man Decathalon: he came in last the second time around. Nevertheless, George has learned patience in athletic adversity, so he was the student instructor for sixth grade P.E. He has been a member of the Junior Classical League for four years; he has been delegate to the state convention three times. George's thespi-antistic accomplishments include a role in OUR TOWN, and business manager of EVERYMAN and THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER. In the year 1969-70 he sold over $600 worth of advertisements for the EQUESTRIA: naturally, this year he is business manager. He is the allschool. all-time winner of the TIME MAGAZINE news contest, and he has represented the school on the premiere telecast of YOUTH SPEAKS OUT, the weekly news discussion on ETV. For six years George has been the basketball announcer. Sometimes the fuses have blown. There have been mechanistic malfunctions too myriad to mention; however, patient Ceorge has always gotten the games called. By the way,” George dryly notes, “I’m not in the Honor Society.” 9 GEORGE DAVID LYNCH, III With but a foot in the door opening into a world molded by youthful rebellion for generations past; we send this responsive and driving young man to complete the revolution to his own satisfaction. Nineteen hundred sixty WILMORE PEARSON COX, III Pete Cox returned to B.U.S. this year from the Marion Institute. There he was in the chorus and on the prep basketball team. He appeared on the Commandant’s List, a very high honor. He was also a member of the Monogram Club and the History Club at Marion. Here at B.U.S. he played in the Faculty-All Star vs. Senior Game of the Year, a fun occasion for everyone. He was also a member of the Junior Classical League. Pete’s return to B.U.S. was heralded by all as a real asset to the school and to the Senior Class. His presence is sorely mused by everyone not only as a student, but as a friend. 10 DAVID HATTON MAR BURY, IV Dave is the Simon Stimson of B.U.S. lie is the idol of our music lovers and the prized student of our teachers. If vou wake up one morning and look out to sec your mail box down, you will know it was only Dave returning from a wild night on the town. Being the chaplain of his fraternity, he is a full-fledged member of the Mountain Brook social establishment. In English Dave is definitley teacher’s pet because of his extensive vocabulary and his great ability in writing poetry. Being one of the major contributors to the Roundtable, his poem “Life” is held to be his best so far. His abilities in Math are only surpassed by those of Albert Einstein. In closing, Dave is a Student well liked by teachers as well as the pupils. Dave also shows great ability in athletics with basketball being his best. Good luck, Dave, in college—and college, good luck! JONES CHARLES DUNIIAM Chuck is sweet and kind and lovable—so he says, anyway. Having roamed the halls of B.U.S. since the seventh grade, he has never been far away from the thick of things. Chuck, the Valedictorian of the Class of '71. gradually progressed from the rigors of the lower school to the aesthetic joys of Analysis and Logic, leaving his distinctive footprints upon the sands of time so deligently spread about each and every classroom and corridor of B.U.S. every morning. Never ceasing to rest in his seemingly endless struggle to escape the confines of B.U.S. and leap into the world. Chuck not only kept his grades high above average, but also swept progressively from activity to activity as his years of high school rapidly swept by. Now Vanderbilt University is beckoning, and Chuck will undoubtedly answer the call with the same intensity and forcefulness that were trademarks of his high school career. So it went! 11 WILLIAM EDMOND PRINCE WARNOCK ‘The Porfiro Rubirosa of B.U.S. —Prince Wamock has spent a good portion of his life at the Birmingham University School. He came here from Highlands I)ay School and joined Mr. Morring’s sixth grade. Princes bag is travel; Europe, twice: Canada, twice; all over the United States. Next summer he plans to spend in and around Paris where he will play his knowledge of the French language and customs on the fair damsels of the City of Light. Early in his career he got mixed up in the fraternity crowd and he has ended up president of his fraternity, although he is not captain of their football team. Prince is a lover of beautiful things, both animate and inanimate. He drives that jazzy red car and already has a collection of paintings of his own. Have we described the “playboy of the B.U.S. world? The answer is no; Prince is a serious person with it all, intent on a career in medicine. Any school that gets War-nock as a student will be lucky. 12 STEPHEN LEON PALMER Old Steve Palmer—Old before his time, that is—is quite an achiever; in fact, he is one of the moving forces in the local ijunior Achievement activities of this area. Me has even ad national awards for his work in JL. In JCL the Junior Classical League, he has no national awards yet. but he is the state treasurer of the group, having alaready held a gamut of offices in the local chapter. He has represented B.U.S. at Boys State and has been on the Math Team for three years; he won the top math award at graduation ’67. Never very modest, Palmer has sent his ego before the footlights quite successfully at school and about the town. His Professor Kokintz in THE MOUSE THAT ROARED will long be remembered. He was the student director of the fall play, ’70 at B.U.S. as well as playing Knowledge in same. This shy retiring ego represents B.U.S. on the Birmingham Beautification Board and in the '70-71 Heading Seminar with Brooke Hill. He is nominated for Outstanding Teenager of America citation which will probably come as no surprise to anyone. Presently he is basking in the light of 750 average board scores and 99th percentile on the national Merit Qualifying Exams, and all await anxiously to see which school—Yale, Harvard, or Princeton—will be lucky enough to get our shy retiring fellow. HARVEY ERNEST RAGLAND, III Sometimes laughing, sometimes grave, sometimes hardworking (Homecoming, 1970), sometimes easy-going: Who? Each characteristic describes Harvey Ragland, a transfer from Anniston Academy in his junior year. In the short period that he has been back at B.U.S. Harvey has been appointed Chairman of Homecoming (1970) and a representative to the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans (1971). His position as an outstanding student in the Class of ’71 is strengthened with these achievements. However, we have just touched his surface, the spirit goes deeper. 13 GEORGE GOLDTHWAITE SEIBELS, III George Seibels is a track star, great lover, check out the Yamaha 250 Enduro, and the leader of the cult of nnti-intellectualism at B.U.S. He is state champion in the mile run. He has represented B.U’.S. at most of the major track meets in the Southeast during which he pulled many of the relays through to a now legendary B.U'.S. record. George is noted for his poet's sense of humor. He often finds things very funny that do not particularly amuse others. For instance, nothing delights him more than to get a rise out of Mr. Hames in English class. As a poet, he has published some very beautiful poems in the ROUNDTABLE. Like every other poet one might encounter, old Seibels is rebellious in the extreme and tolerates only praise. But then, that is a poet for you. FREDERICK MARTIN EPS-MAN I do my thing and you do your thing I am not in this world to live up to your expectations And you are not in this world to live up to mine You are you and I am I And if by chance we find each other it's beautiful. Frederick S. Peris M THOMAS C. DAVIS To a Senior—a wonderful, funny guy roaming the halls of B.U.S. life; that could be his nickname. He received the Sewanee Award as the outstanding junior of the 1969-70 school year, manifesting the conscientious aspect of his person. Will B.U.S. ever understand this enlightening soul. Tommy Davis? FREDERICK FERGUSON, JR. Good King Ferguson I of the B.U.S. Student Council hits ruled supreme for one year, and a crusty year it has been: a new lounge; busses to the games; car washes; active support of the Roundtable; the basketball home games; the art program: and a spirit of unanimity that old B.U.S. hasn't seen since the middle sixties. Much of this can be attributed to the King himself. The King had his princely tour of Europe with the Lovelaces last summer and that must have been a real swinger: Copcnhagan, Stockholm, Paris, London! Rick has held many offices throughout the school and is noted for his willingness to work not only with his class (about which he possesses no small chauvinism), but also the entire school. He’s great out there on the courts too—a basketball player of no mean accomplishment. You never know what this guy is thinking; the smile is enigmatic. 15 Manager TO-'71: Equestria � taff '69-70; student Council '69 70; Drama • Twelve Angry Men : sewanec Award TO: University of Alabama Alumni Award for Excellence TO; Roundtable contributor: Tennis team '68 '69.
