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

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

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
