The sixteenth summer session at Memphis University School offered a wide variety of courses such as Algebra, Geometry, and Spanish for students in grades six through twelve who wished to improve themselves. In addition to academic classes, many other activities were taking place on campus. The MUS Drama Workshop, coached by Mr. Elder, returned for another successful summer of useful instruction on and off stage. This program was enjoyed by more than thirty students who ended with a final production, A Bag Full of Goodies. Coach Jerry Peters once again directed the summer basketball camp which helped develop skills in the game and was designed to improve coordination, endurance, and cooperation for future players. The annual MUS Day Camp, held June 10 through July 19, offered fun and sport for boys in grades two through five. Adequately staffed by several members of the MUS faculty and student body, the camp provided instruction in many sports including swimming, golf, football and archery. B. .

VACATION: EUROPE CANADA, TENNIS 26 A t the end of final exams, stu- dents were well ready for some leisure. Thirty MUS and Hutchison students traveled across the European continent on Mr. Hatchett ' s tenth summer tour. Not one European traveler will forget Larry Hatchett ' s death- defying dive from Chateau de Chillon into Lake Geneva. Elsewhere in the wilds of Canada ventured the outdoorsmen of the student body under the supervision of coaches Shurlds, Watson, and Mitchell, and several fathers. Several days of excellent fishing were the highlight of the trip. At the bottom half of the Northern hemisphere, Mr. Al Marques and Mrs. Carter accompanied the scuba club in a week of underwater exploration off the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean Sea. While these students traveled throughout the world, others were more than satisfied to relax leisurely in Memphis. Tennis, golf, and water sports were favorite activities; and as always, MUS students dominated the tennis and golf tournaments throughout the Mid- South. Other students just relaxed at a pool or a nearby lake. All in all, summer activities were as varied as the students themselves. And after three months of relaxation, students were not exactly anticipating the upcoming school year.
