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

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

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
