Year RQUND Empty halls. Barred doors. Silent lounge. Clean lockers. Abandoned chapel. But hark! Voices! Wellford Tabor and Wesley Grace being surrounded by greasy camp kids. Football and basketball players perspiring and preparing for the season to come. Summer schoolers jumping ahead of their fellow classmates. MUS presses for excellence even during the summer — and there ' s a lot to do: day camp, basketball camp, summer school, football training. Student Council events — and changes to be made: a new football field, a new lounge floor, a new roof Our school operates twelve months each year. Much of the school ' s success is due to strenuous preparation over the summer, from manual labor to brain games. Watching the newly planted grass grow, Coach Jake Rudolph wonders if the field will be ready for the opening game. It was. Hitting the practice field aX 7:30 a.m., on their own time, throughout the summer, Andy McArtor, David Newman, Shelley Harrison, and John Ed Ogles define dedication. [ I •fe r 16 STUDENT LIFE

Out and About Once again, summer found our students out and about the world. Traveling with other students (MUS-in-England), traveling with parents, or traveling alone, we made our marks from the American West to England, from the Orient to the Middle East, from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Mexico. While visiting the ruins of a temple on a stopover from the Greek Islands tour he took with his parents, Bryan Krauch shows his tennis shoes to their godmother and namesake, the goddess Athena-Nike. On a tour of Israel, Mark Salky and Brian Israel stand at Masada, site of a historic first-century Jewish-Roman confrontation. Traveling through Europe with his brother Mike (MUS ' 85), junior Keith Woodbury gives the Tower of Pisa a helping hand. SUMMER VACATION 1 5

Too timid to pick on someone his own size, counsellor Wellford Tabor dominates a game of soccer-dodge ball with the kiddies from day camp. Displaying near-perfect free-throw form, Andrew McDermott shoots some hoops at basketball camp under the direction of coaches Jerry Peters, Mark Counce, Lin Askew, and Jim Barton. While earning money for the Student Council, John Dulin and Andy Wright hope to accumulate enough $2.00 washes to one day buy their own Porsche. SUMMER AT MUS 17
