MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL . . . for students, especially younger ones, the environnnent they face here is new —but for all of us it is one of knowledge, thought, determination, and wit. Here lies the potential for a really full high school life for those who seek it. Here a taste of self-gained knowledge may tantalize the curiosity of a man. Here is a mixture which includes not only easy-going good times, but also frantic impatient moments: long lunch lines, pop tests, blind dates, forgotten Friday ties, lost nctes, no date, 8:20 trains, incomplete passes, Saturday morning practices. THE REAL SCHOOL . . . the many casual companions, the few lasting friends. For the most part these guys come and go, but whoever the friends and wherever the place, on cam- pus or off campus . . . Shoney ' s, Hi Boy, somebody ' s house, the club, the Twin . . . action and fun can always be found there. These are a part of our life and therefore a part of AAUS. COMPETITION . . . among friends, during sports, for girls, in classes, clubs, offices ... in itself does not build us. But the competition involved in our lives at AAUS drives us to develop - HE W Boi HAMBURGE!? k] M : j -Wi ' kj -JI THEME

Dedicated to . . . Mr. Joseph R. Hyde, Jr. The staff of the Owl take pleasure in dedicating this an- nual to Mr. Joseph R. Hyde, Jr. As a member of the Board of Trustees since the school was re- established in 1954, Mr. Hyde has been active in the affairs of the school. The annual staff, in this small way, would like to express to Mr. Hyde the appre- ciation of the student body for his dedicated service, his loyal friendship, his leadership, and his generous support. He who brings beauty to the lives of men Needeth no tribute of recording pen. His deeds are engraved in a place apart, On the enduring tablets of the human heart.

our individual talents and resources. Cre- ations of art and intellect, masterpieces of courage, and dexterity— to excel in life is a really good deal, and here we have the opportunities. We have an unusual school: small, good facilities (especially for sports), outstanding teams, exception- al teachers. This is where we are build- ing our public images and, perhaps, con- fronting and recognizing our private selves. This is where, in our last couple of years, we catch the first sights of life, forming dreams of greatness tempered by actual success and disillusionment. A TEAM . . . an academic team, an administrative team, even a baseball team . . . our teachers give us a glimpse of different men and women who have experienced life, checked it out, and now control their own lives to an extent we cannot fully realize. These teachers, who listen to us, call us down, instruct us, advise us, laugh with us, and allow us to go at our curious, wild schemes, are a part of us and a part of AAUS. ' 68 89.
