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
