6|3ideas School Must B Yelling ourselves hoarse in a come-from- behind victory. Staying up half the night to crau for an unusually difficult test. Rehearsing an upcoming play daily for weeks. Painting on a Saturday afternoon. Running miles every afternoon to shape up for cross-country. The signs of a very real involvement in our school were everywhere. But the range of activities defied any attempt at classification: the largest MUS student body ever was interested in everything from polo to piano. 1975 was the year that six hundred individuals, nine sports, four plays, twenty-odd clubs, three publications, assorted other pastimes, a challenging curriculum, and the necessary facilities came together in a conglomeration of success and failure, apathy and concern, excellence and mediocrity, unity and discord. Every student or teacher had his own idea of what he wanted out of school — and anything was possible given the breadth of opportunity.

A pretty late summer weekend ensured that MUMv. ill-equipped athletic facilities would be ijpjM sbis courts, two gyms, and other playing fields, as well as the pool and football field, were often used bystudents and faculty. Twenty years ago, Memphis University School was re-established on its present site. From that structure of a dining hall and six classrooms, it has expanded to a plant valued in- the millions of dollars. Its enrollment has increased to nearly six hundred, with a proportionate proliferation in the number and type of academic and extra-curricular activities. Countless people have helped the school to grow — whether through monetary aid, new ideas, or hard work. This book is dedicated, on MUS ' twentieth anniversary, to all those who have made the school a success.
