THEME MUS has a side the catalogs never show — but the re- cent disposal of very local censorship rules opens new by-ways. This year ' s theme section hopes to provide a glimpse into the side of student life which college admissions officers never get word of. First of all, this is ' 69. ' 69 has its own distinctive flavor. Old traditions — student council, honor council, and Col. Lynn — reached new heights. Under the brilliant leadership of the ' 69 student council, sweeping changes of monumental importance improved the MUS campus — lunch lines, lost and found, pasting the alma mater into the backs of the hymnals. The amount of religious inspiration received by the students during chapel programs was paralleled only by the fervor of our singing. Sometimes when we became overly enthusiastic, Mr. Thorn let us sing the same verse over a nd over again until we got it to suit us, and on special occasions he even offered to help us sing after school. Devotional matter gained a much deeper meaning as Wellford spoke out against conservatism, Wellford challenged the establishment, Wellford vs. unfair prac- tices, Wellford vs. everybody and everything. What ' s the matter with ' 69? Coach Smith says, I like ' 69. 69696G 96969G
