The omniscient owl gazes down upon a rare phenomenon at MUS — a clean student lounge. The usual lively atmosphere of the lounge vanishes during the summer months, until students once again fill it with mirth in September. The field east of the Lower School was graded and leveled last summer for an eighth grade football practice field. Extensive watering was required during the height of last summer ' s drought in order to keep the new field in tiptop shape. Last summer MUS was busy with the finishing touches on the new Fine Arts Wing. With all of this added space, the old art room was remodeled into teachers ' offices, a conference room, and a faculty work room. 24 STlini ' .NTI.IKK

The trip was organized by MUS parents Mr. and Mrs. Dan H. Murrell. Sitting stoically during the final moments of graduation, the Class of ' 76 cannot wait to leave and kick up their heels over finally being free. Little do they know of the pits and pratfalls that await them in the world. spriv; j.t

Mr. Thorn has little trouble keeping students out of the halls during the summer class periods. Deserted scenes such as these are common at MUS when most students are away on summer vacations. Solitude is often difficult to find at MUS, but this scholar manages to obtain a haven of bliss for a few fleeting moments as he studies for an upcoming Algebra test during the summer session. The Upper School counterpart to the Dunavant Auditorium. Hyde Chapel, will soon be hidden from passersby by a miniature jungle ere cted around it. The school planted scores of trees and bushes in an effort to beautify the campus. SUMMER 25
