 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

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

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
