- The New Headmaster ' MUS Will Be Second to None 55 In its first 23 years MUS knew only one headmaster — Ross M. Lynn, the Colonel . In 1978 following Col. Lynn ' s retirement, a new skipper took over to guide the MUS ship. Mr. D. Eugene Thorn, although no new face at the school (he was Associate Headmaster for 1 1 years), was the unanimous choice of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Thorn stepped into a demanding position. Maintaining the MUS program was challenging enough in itself; succeeding the inimitable Col. Lynn was an unenviable task. Mr. Thorn proved equal to the demands of the position. His main goal was to keep the school moving in a progressive direction. As Mr. Thorn said, We go only one way and that is up . . . MUS will be second to none. Striving to maintain the overall quality that MUS has attained in 23 years was the chief aim of Mr. Thorn ' s first year as headmaster. Buoyed by an able and enthusiastic faculty, a vibrant Student Council and Honor Council, and a high caliber student body, Mr. Thorn predicted great things for his first year. He said, Col. Lynn and the Board of Trustees set the tone of MUS, and now it ' s our job to carry on. Not only to carry on, but also to improve the MUS tradition of excellence. Under the leadership of Mr. Thorn, MUS will be second to none! Mr. Thorn strains to hear a muffled student body response to his exhortations for 15 short and snappy rahs. Leading the cheer at the Bnarcrest pep rally is one of the traditional duties of the headmaster. Distressed hv his choice of courses, Newman Cross asks Mr. Thorn for advice. As the new head, Mr. Thorn made himself available for conferences with the students. 10 OPENING

OLD FACES 111 IVEW PLACES In an effort to brush up on the current trends of college life, Mr. Robert Boelte flips through the screenplay oi Animal House. Mr. Boelte stepped up to become College Counsellor and Head of the Admissions Board. After the abolition of his former post (Academic Dean), Mr. Leigh MacQueen was promoted to a position as Principal of the Upper School. Even though he still supervised curriculum, his new position was somewhat different from Academic Dean; one primary difference was his being allowed to sit on stage during chapel. His main responsibility as Principal, though, was the day-to-day operation of the Upper School. 12 OPENING
