Tune TfiMi otf In the late part of the summer of 1968 they converged on the cluster of buildings in the hills west of Austin known as St. Stephen’s Episcopal School. They come as parents, students, faculty members, members of the staff. All recognized their respective positions held in society; before the next nine months had ended they would know each other as more than that, as individual human beings. St. Stephen’s main purpose is that of educating those who come in contact with it, and it has achieved this purpose in one way or another during this year. From the usual method of lecture and homework to a sense of self- understanding that may happen any day—a sense of freedom and slavery is found at the same time at St. Stephen’s. The realization of one’s own desires, freedoms and responsibilities, and the way to express these in a practical way is one of the major problems facing the school. Although many think work to achieve this is going too slowly, at least it is taking place. St. Stephen’s is one place where change can come about because of the learning that has taken place. From a science lecture, to a chapel forum, to a black studies group, to a dorm bull session, learning is the center of the school. Athletics play a major part in the life of a school. There is many times a feeling of union on the athletic fields that is never shown anywhere else in student life—a true bond of a group of people working for the same cause. Teams fielded by the Spartans have met various fates, but those that are re- membered are those that show true desire. Athletics give many a sense of accomplishment that they could have no where else in school life. Feelings run the full gamut at St. Stephen's, but are intensified to the ut- most. Living in a dormitory, attending classes, and even eating meals with the same people tend to make you both sensitive and cold to the feelings of people around you. You tend to know how your roommate feels without his stating a single word and also you try to shield your feelings as much as possible so that others are not analyzing your thoughts and actions. Sadness, unhappiness, and loneliness are often felt at St. Stephen’s. A lack of privacy just to sit and think out your problems—that unattained goal in athletics or the fact that you may be failing and can't catch up, all show up on the faces of the students and faculty alike. The feeling that none of your teachers or none of your students like you, or worse the feeling that your colleagues don’t care for you can make life miserable when you are in constant contact with them. The couples of St. Stephen's are about the closest interaction of feeling present. The presence of someone with whom you can share a moment of laugh- ter and those moments of pain make a lasting relationship among many stu- dents. It’s very encouraging on a rainy, gloomy day to see a smiling couple who are just happy being together. In a year of a record number of students leaving and one of many tragedies for members of the student body, happiness was a rare gem. Whenever this gem was found, it gleamed with a very special brightness. A winning football game, a warm smile, a play, just a balloon, seemed to radiate a warmth that spread happiness over all the gloom. Thursday evening, April 10th, the happiness erupted into the start of St. Stephen’s first love in.” Friday morning all normal manner of school life ceased as love took over and students and faculty for the first time showed their feelings freely and without any attempts at keeping up their image. The festivities ebbed after a fully clothed swim by most of the student body and some of the faculty as well as a lunch on the grass outside of the dining hall. One thing that is very important about this student movement is that nothing was torn down, ridiculed, or protested against—everyone was just happy. While the impracticality of holding hands and hugging your friends and singing and picking flowers was never in question, this spirit of happiness con- tinued through the rest of the year. It was a hope of those leaving St. Stephen’s in the Spring, whether permanently or just for the summer, that this feeling of happiness will always remain at St. Stephen's. We dedicate this book about St. Stephen’s and ourselves to this hope of happiness. 14 17 21 24 4 The faculty is an essential part of life at St. Stephen's. Always ready to advise the student about his shortcomings, the faculty still remains the students’ friend. They manage to be both serious and fun in their life at St. Stephen’s. 29 Mr. Herbert Allen Mr. John F. Lynch Mr. Tobin Armstrong Mr. John Matthews Dr. Allen W.

The physical and mental potential were definitely there, all the three teams hinged on were these and a little bit of luck. When football camp opened at Camp Champions, there was an air of optimism, that although we were not in the race for the conference championship, we could show the conference that they were lucky we weren’t. Playing the first game away in Dallas, the weather made it all but impossible for either team to mount an offensive attack. The defense rose to the occasion, but Greenhill won on a blocked punt 6-0. The following Saturday, the defense relaxed enough to allow TMI to catch up after the Spartans had jumped to a quick 12-0 lead. A last minute drive by SSS fell short, and TMI came out on top 24-19- Having lost by a touchdown or less in the first two games, the team worked hard on both offense and defense the next week and scored an impressive 36-12 victory over TSD with all team members getting to play. With this satisfaction and experience, the team worked even harder for the next game, which was with Casady. The game opened with Casady scoring first, but the Spartans came right back to take an 8-7 lead. Casady again scored, and the Spartan drive died on the Casady 15 yard line when the half ran out. In the second half, the Red team did not show the desire present in the first half, and allowed Casady to get easy touchdowns because of the mental mistakes of the Spartans, with the final score being 37-8. This lack of desire continued through thp week with the Spartans not playing well against Kinkaid, losing 36-6 The next week the coaching staff and team worked together well, and so played the best game of the season, beating Holland Hall 21-12. This was the only loss for the Tulsa team which later went on to beat Casady this year. The next week, with several starters injured or unable to play, the Spartans traveled to Schulenberg to play Bishop Forest, a strong Catholic team, which had previously beaten Kinkaid badly. The Red team was only behind one point until the last 30 seconds, when Bishop Forest broke through and went on to win 20-12. Having nothing left to play for but pride, the Spartans went to St. John’s and simply could not get anything going. There were many mental mistakes, and St. John’s effectively took advan- tage of these, winning 30-8. 50 Although this 2-6 season was not our best effort, the coaching staff and team gained much from working together. With the predominantly junior-sophomore unit, much experience was gained in preparation for what potentially could be a great season next year, with the B and JV” teams having an undefeated season. This year the field hockey team had a very succesful season. Going 1-1-1 in regular season,—beat- ing St. Mary’s Hall, tying Kinkaid, and losing to St. John’s—the girls traveled to St. John’s for the SPC tournament. There they lost the first game to Kinkaid in overtime, but went on to beat Ft. Worth Country Day and Holland Hall for the consolation championship, and placing Claire Leddy on the All-Conference team. The prospects for the next year are good, with the underclassmen coming off the B” team to replace the graduating seniors. In the few meets the Cross-Country team had before conference, the Spartan team came out well against all their opponents: TSD, Crockett, Reagan, and in the state meet after conference. In con- ference meet, the team was not in the best of shape, having to run without proper warmup. Overall, we took 4th place in conference with Barclay Armstrong finishing 6th.

As the season progressed, the team got better and better with the help of Coaches O'Brien and McShane. The individual players felt more at ease on the court and began working as a team. As a result, a good 12-9 pre-conference record was achieved the high points being: 1) a very fine second game against a seem- ingly very superior TSD team, in which the Spartans played control ball, and lost by 5 points 2) a new school record of 111 points against Peacock Military Academy late in the season. When the Winter Conference Tournament was held here at SSS, the team was fired up and stayed with their first opponent: St. John’s. However, the Spartans just could not make the many layups and shots under the basket given them, and this, along with the injury of one of the starting guards, proved to be the dif- ference in the game, as St. John's won 66-35. With this loss, the Spartans were put into the consolation bracket, which they proceeded to win, and took 5th place in con- ference beating Kinkaid 65-56, and Ft. Worth Country Day 61-44. Overall, the end of the season was disappointing, in that the team could not get going in the clutch, but it did play well enough to place Gary Jones (a sophomore who did an outstanding job in the tournament) on the All Conference Honorable Mention list, and Rudolph Green (a sophomore who also did an outstanding job all season) on the All Confer- ence 1st team. From the 1968-69 team, there are only 2 Seniors graduating, so the 1969-70 squad will have an extremely good chance of winning conference next year. Soccer, like Basketball, had a fairly good season, but a disappointing tournament. The pre-conference season was a hard one, and the Spartans had a very good 6-1-2 season, beating TMI, Allen Academy Selwyn, Lutheran, and St. Anthony; losing to Greenhill, and tying Allen Academy, and TMI. This year, the team felt that it was good. Most of the starting squad were Seniors, so that this was their big chance. In the first game against St. Marks, there was a disputed call which gave St. Marks a goal, causing the game to go into overtime, and the Spartans lost 3-2. This caused the soccer team to be put into the consolation bracket which they also proceeded to win, beating Kinkaid 1-0 and Ft. Worth Country Day 2-1 in two very fine games. The team was disappointed in not getting a chance at the championship, but the conference coaches felt they had played well enough to place one person, Richard Burns, on the All Conference 1st team for the 2nd straight year and to place 4 on the All Conference 2nd team: Andy MacClellan, Randy Navarre, Tommy Tuohy, and Barclay Armstrong. Although a goodly portion of the starters were Seniors, there are 8 of 16 lettermen returning including 3 of the All Conference members mentioned above, so Coaches Phipps and Becker will have a large amount of potential and experience to work with next year. This was the first year that the Spartan girls had ever had a speedbali team. In the tournament itself, the varsity girls gave a very good accounting of themselves, going 4 for 4 and coming very close to beating Casady, the Conference champs and placing Phebe Davol on the All Conference team. On the whole, the outlook for the speed- ball team next year is a bright one, because only 4 seniors are leaving. The lettermen for all winter sports are as follows: BASKETBALL LETTERMEN 68-69 One Year Jim Vance Des Fletcher Rudolph Green (captain) Gary Jones Reuben Rivers Greg Whitaker Pat McSpadden (mgr.)

For the baseball team, this was really the culmination of two year’s of frustration and effort. Ever since the tournament last year in Houston was rained out, the team felt cheated, because they felt strong enough to take the championship. This year, after a fairly good pre-conference season, the team went up to Dallas with very high hopes. In the first game against Holland Hall (who was expected to win), the Spartans had them down 1-0 at the end of the 6th inning, but gave the Tulsans two unearned runs in the 7th to be defeated 2-1. (Holland Hall went on to win the conference championship undefeated.) The Spartans came back the next day to play St. Mark’s; during the game there was a very controversial call, but the team chose to shut up and try to win the game on their own. That call allowed a man on base who eventually scored the winning run, as the Spartans lost 2-1. That afternoon, the Spartans came back with revenge to completely crush Gissady 6-1. The next morning the team fin- ished up with a 2-1 win against Kinkaid to end up with a 2-2 conference record and a bid for 3rd place, certainly a disappointment for one of the most talented teams, and one with most character, that has ever played for St. Stephen’s. The team finished this year with 5 all-conference players: 3B, Dave Evert; SS, Richard Burns; IB Terry Seelinger; P, Sidney Modiste; C, David McFarland. The outlook for next year is as good as it was for the beginning of this year, with 9 of 14 lettermen returning, in- cluding 4 of the all-conference selections. In track this year, it was felt that we had more overall potential than ever. There was only one competitive meet before conference, in which the Spartans placed third. This lack of being in competition hurt the team at the conference meet in Dallas, as we did not do as well, either as we thought we should, or as last year. We did take a 1st in the mile run with Ned Nicolai running a 4.5 2.4, a 2nd in the broad jump with Rudolf Green jumping 18’-6”; a 4th in the discus with Jim Vance throwing 126’-4”. Overall, the team came out with 11 points to take 5th place in conference. The tennis team had a fairly good year, with several matches with Bastrop and other nearby teams before the conference tournament. At that tournament Marshall Runge climbed to semi-finals by beating Nitochke of T.M.I. 10-8 in a pro set before losing to Bradley of Holland Hall 6-0, 61. On the girls’ team, Mary Napier was bested in finals of A” singles 6-3, 6-2 by Della Clare of St. John's. Bessie Smith and Dawn McNutt won consolation of A” doubles by beating Ft. Worth Country Day School 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. The outlook for next year is fairly good with only 3 seniors leaving off the girls’ team. In volleyball, the season was certainly a disappointment. After playing some pre- conference games with Holy Cross, the A and B teams went to Dallas for the conference tournament. One of the first games the A” played was with St. John’s. The first set the Spartans won 14-0, but lost the next two 8-15, 11-15. (St. John’s went on to win the tournament undefeated.) The girls played games against Hockaday, Holland Hall, Kinkaid, Casady, St. Mary’s Hall, Greenhill, and Ft. Worth Country Day, ending up with a 5-3 conference record to take 3rd place overall. The B” team played, ending up with a 1-2 record. One person, Gigi Johnson, was elected to the all-conference team, and unfortunately she is one of the three seniors leaving. However, there are still 15 returning lettermen, so there will be lots of experience for next year’s teams.

Last summer before school started, Mike and some other St. Stephen's students helped remodel and repaint the student lounge in- cluding the canteen in which a hot dog rotissere was installed. During the year in addition to the canteen being open daily, the members of the student lounge committee also worked in providing refreshments at almost every athletic event held at St. Stephen’s. This year the canteen was enlarged, and facilities for frying hamburgers and french fries were added, and the windows of the lounge were coated in order to reflect light so that it could be effectively air-conditioned. For their work the members of the student lounge committee received the Executive Committee award for ’68-'69. The award is given to the group or person that the Executive Committee feels contributed the most to the school life here at St. Stephen’s. The student lounge committee was the unanimous choice for this award. It is the job of the Chief Inspector and the seniors working as inspectors along with the rest of the Student Body to see that the chapel, classrooms, and. girls’ dorms are kept clean and receive attention daily. Nearly every student has a job which is supposed to be done before classes begin everyday. Failure to do the job results in a school keep- ing work crew which is supervised by the chief inspector, Jim Vance, or the faculty supervisor, Mr. Pettus. The chief inspector is appointed by the headmaster. The Entertainment Committee The members of the Entertainment Committee and their chairman, Andy MacClellan, have the job of providing some form of entertainment for the student body each Satur- day night of the year. They have provided the student body with a wide variety of en- tertainment throughout the year. A few of the things the Entertainment Committee has provided for the student body are trips into town to movies, professional folk singers performing at school, a night club arrangement in the chapel and a car bash” for people wanting to relieve frustrations. These events were just a few of the activities which were provided during the year. Andy and the Entertainment Committee had a difficult task to perform and they performed it excellently. Boys’ Dorm Council—Chairman: Rick Sutton Girls’ Dorm Council—Chairman: Ann Johnson The purpose of the boys’ and girls’ dorm councils is to act as a disciplinary body for dormitory life. Proctors and dorm faculty have the right to turn in a dorm report on any student for misbehaving in the dormitory. The girls’ dorm council has for many years been an effective means of handling discipline in the girls dormitories. In the past, however, the boys’ dorm council has not been used except on rare occasions. The boy proctors usually took dorm discipline into their own hands. But, change is inevitable, and this year democracy and due process has finally caught up with the boys’ dorms. This year’s boys' dorm council has had its share of dorm reports and proven itself as a responsible disciplinary body. Proctors The proctors play a leading role in determining the style of life at St. Stephen’s. It is their job to provide the leadership necessary in keeping discipline and creating a healthy atmosphere for dormitory life. For example, the proctors in Wycliffe and Gillette organized and helped sponsor the famed Wycliffe-Gillette mud fight which was followed by a cook-out hosted by the residents of Wycliffe dorm. The Executive Committee This year has been a year of change for school government. Early in the year, the Executive Committee met to discuss the clothing regulations as set down in the hand- book and to determine whether or not any changes were in order. The committee voted to have blue jeans admitted as a part of academic dress for boys and to have turtleneck shirts to be worn in place of a shirt and tie with semi-formal dress. The recommendation was given to the headmaster who introduced it to the faculty who then voted and passed the proposed change. Later on in the year Jim Bemis introduced a proposed change in the constitution which would put the majority of the student committees under a voluntary system instead of the electorial system under which school government has operated. This idea was discussed and passed by the Executive Committee and, when put to a vote of the student body, was passed by a vast majority. It was this new trend of thought that inspired a group of students to take a further step and rewrite the entire constitution. So many students took part in the formulation of the new constitution, it would be hard to name all of them. Tim Conolly and Stephen Townsend presented the proposed constitution to the school at a school meet- ing and then after some modification, the proposed constitution was voted on and was ratified. The new constitution mainly changes the entire government structure to the voluntary system with elected chairmen for the committees and gives more responsi- bility to the students concerning discipline. The Discipline Committee The Discipline Committee this year has had to handle many and varied problems con- cerning school life at St. Stephen’s. The Discipline Committee secretary, Gigi Johnson, has been the hardest working of the committee members. It was her job to put out weekly reports on disciplinary action taken and to type the committee’s recommenda- tions which were given to the headmaster by Steve Townsend who served as chairman of the Discipline Committee during the year. In April, after the new constitution passed, the low committee” was first formed to handle minor reports. This committee is an all-student committee with the chairman and secretary of the regular committee as the stable element of the low committee;” the other three students are elected from the sophomore, junior and senior classes each month. Major reports were still handled by the regular or high committee.” This system, so far, has worked out well. The low discipline committee gives more students the opportunity to take responsibility in school discipline and is therefore valuable. COMMITTEE Mike Childers, Student Lounge Committee Chairman SdLoct discipline committees The members of the high Disci- pline Committee were (1-r) Alan Fenton, Jim Vance, Steve Town- send, Gigi Johnson and Robert Foster.

These are the girls who volunteer to get up early on Sundays and special religious days to set up the altar, polish the silver, and check the bread and wine. Members of the Altar Guild were Mary Bachman, Jessica Buhler, Githy Tuohy, Gigi Johnson, Cathy Crittenden, Mijce Childers, Susan Kings- bury, Lisa Leftwich, Mary Napier, Bonnie New, Zoe Ann Pace, Mary Pincoffs, Lucy Weeks, Marcia White, and Debbie Wolfrum. The Printing Club is an organization that few people at St. Stephen's are familiar with. This group turns out anything from menus to from the desk of ...” pads to drama production programs. Without the Printing Club, both individuals and orga- nizations would be forced to spend a great deal more money on printing. The members are Scott Bailey, Mark Clark, Des Fletcher, Barry Gilbert, Floyd Inks, Dorr Lewright, Greg Whitaker, and Danny Strain. The Deacon Editors and staff, under the direction of Forrest Pennington and Mrs. Tune, feel that this year they have put out a Deacon of superior quality. They have worked hard all year and some members of the staff have put in extra hours after the end of school to finish the yearbook. This is perhaps the most experienced staff yet, with Forrest having worked on the Deacon for four years and many of the editors having two or three years of work behind them. They feel that with the work and pho- tography that have gone into the Deacon, the '69 edition will be the best yet. The editors were Forrest Pennington, Jim Vance, Josh Harrison, David Loiseaux, Steve Townsend, Gigi Johnson. Vicky Williams, Zoe Ann Pace, Mike Childers, Val Cox, and David Carruthers. The G.E.D. tutors was a group of students who involved St. Stephen's in community life. Once a week these students went into town to tutor an underprivileged person who was trying to earn a General Education Diploma. The students who gave up their free time to do this rewarding work were Tom Atkins, Barry Gilbert, Susan Kings- bury, Mary Napier, Ned Nicolai, Bonnie New, Zoe Ann Pace, Anna Beth Payne, Terry Seelinger, Tari Shattuck, and Rick Sutton. Cheerleaders are an important part of any school. They are responsible for organizing and leading the school spirit that is the backbone of any athletic team. Cheerleading is not the easy job that most girls imagine it to be. It is spending hours printing posters, practicing yells, and keeping spirit up during a game—win or lose. The four girls that were chosen by the student body as cheerleaders for 1968-69 were Lisa Leftwich (Head), Cathy Crittenden, Ellen Jockush, and Susan Letteer. This year one of the most important groups on campus was the photopool. Led by Mr. Rodriguez, photographers Milton Shepperd, Fred Shields, Ted Wright, and Scott Bailey took pictures all over the campus. In most people's opinion, these pictures im- proved over previous years in both quantity and quality. The photopool provided in- dividuals and organizations like the Deacon with a variety of good pictures. The 1968-69 school year brought several new activities to the campus as well as continued the old ones. One of the most interesting and rewarding activities that a student at St. Stephen’s could be involved in this year was the Choir. Besides its usual function of leading the Sunday worship services, the Choir toured around the state singing The Mass for a Saint’s Day” by Nicholas Jackson, a contemporary setting of the ordinary for Holy Communion—Kyrie, Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei, Gloria. The Rev. Hobson Tune first thought of the touring choir in the summer of 1968. With hard work and help from a few seniors, Mr. Tune made his idea a reality. The year began with a choir camp of intensive training the week before registration to prepare the choir for touring. Then throughout the year the Choir toured to Episcopal Churches in the state. Various members of the churches had students stay in their homes. A typical reaction was this one written to the Chairman of the Commission of Music for the Diocese of Texas— Your vi$jf made St. Stephen’s a personal thing rather than an abstraction.” The Choir has sung before over 7,000 people on tour, with the largest audience being 1,000 at the first meeting of the Texas Council of Churches. Several of the towns visited were Houston, Beaumont, San Antonio and Abi- lene. This year the choir members were: Sopranos, Elizabeth Burke, Cathy Doremus, Mary Clifton, Jane Dryden, Ellen Jockusch, Gigi Johnson, Susan Kingsbury, Carolyn Lowrey, Bonnie New, Mary Pincoffs, Tari Shattuck, Ann Slate, Marta Smith, Lucy Weeks, Vicky Williams; Altos, Mary Bachman, Alyce Barnes, Betty Bray, Chris Crosby, Mary Cecile Gee, Anne Johnson, Clare Leddy, Leah May, Mary Pettus (faculty), Debbie Wolfrum; Tenors, Scott Bailey, Chris Butler, Pat Childers, Larry Fields, John Gasche, Chris Gee, Shelby Longoria, Andy MacLellen, John Nettle, Fred Shields, Steve Smock (faculty), Joel Smith, Ricky Tichenor, Leslie Young; Basses, Ralph Braley, Jim Butler, Val Cox, Michael Emery, Josh Harrison, Richard May, David McFarland, Sid Modiste, Randy Navarre, Howard Norris, Mike Osborne, Forrest Pennington, Tim Pettus (faculty), James Pipkin, Steve Townsend, Jim Vance, Greg Whitaker, DeWayne Wilson. Special commendation went to Jane Dryden, Gigi Johnson, Vicky Williams, Alyce Barnes, Betty Bray, Chris Crosby, Andy MacLellan, Forrest Pennington, Steve Smock (faculty), Val Cox, and trumpeteer George Tindall. Another large and successful group this year was the Drama Club, directed by Steven O. Smock. The year began with The New Tenant, the story of a man moving into a new apartment and having a little trouble finding enough room for all his belongings. Cast—Dana Orr, Hank Ewert, Jim Vance, Richard May. Amadee was about an un- inspired writer with a growing corpse in the bedroom. The audience was amazed when the body grew to a length of 30 feet. Cast—Anna Beth Payne, Abner Burnett, Vicky Dammier, Jim Dart, Tom Atkins, Terry Allen, Julie Buckthal, Joel Smith. Probably the most successful play Director Smock has produced at St. Stephen's was the laboratory production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. This story of Charlie and his friends was superbly done and parts of it, like the song ’Happiness,’ will be around the campus for a long time.

You would not believe how many times I have tried to do this, and how many sheets of paper have already ended up in the waste basket. What you see here is my last attempt at trying to put into words just exactly what our class has been doing all year. I'm going to try and stick to one past event’’ and one future event.” Two events that everyone or nearly everyone, has already or will participate in. There was a rumor concerning our class and the sing-song. It was the standard everyday-type rumor . . . that the 8th grade really had some- thing specia ■ planned for their part in the pro- gram. In actuality, wc didn’t know for sure what we were going to sing at the time the rumor was started. The idea of the flowers, gravestone, and lily were thought of on Sunday afternoon by John Nettle and some of the guys. 138 Sharon Weintraub The future event is, of course, the Sadie Haw- kins Day Dance. After dividing up into com- mittees, making the rules, and staking the boundaries, we have gotten around to planning the dance itself. We hope to carry out some wild plans while listening to the Grapes of Wrath.” Here, we would like to thank Mr. Bentley for his help and cooperation in letting us use our Comparative Religion time for class meetings. By Emre Wright (Class of ’73) 139 v Class Officers: President Mike McGinnis Vice-President Liz Foster Secretary Elizabeth Larkam Treasurer Phebe Davol Tani Adams Aileen Anderson 142 Wayne Bayless 143 Lisa Conolly Shell Conoly Laird Considine The school year 1968-69 started well for the ninth grade with a large class of over 50 people. This was mainly because so many previous year’s eighth grad- ers (all but one) returned. There were two facts which distinguished this ninth grade's assortment of faculty from the previous year’s: 1. It was Mr. Gray- son’s (Natural Science) first year at S.S.S. 2. It was Mr. Tichenor’s (Ancient History) last year at S.S.S. Soon though the ninth grade would distinguish it- self by giving what was considered by some the best dance of the year. This success was accomplished by the scraping together of all available funds and by the efforts of our class President, Mike Mc- Ginnis, and our class sponsor, Mrs. Respess. John Fehr 144 Larry Fields Liz Foster Hugh Fletcher Norman Frees Page Foshee Thetis Gardner Nancy Hart Tim Hearn Walter Johnson 145 Then came the fateful day. The stage was set on Sept. 22, 1968, the First Day of Autumn, for the heretofore unmentioned, but unavoidable, dorm raid. With consummate skill and planning Wycliff made a successful surprise attack en masse on (this was immediately after study hall) Ives. Ives suffered ex- tensive damage with 14 beds flipped and so the occupants of Ives hoped for revenge. At 6:40 A.M. the next morning a token counterattack was made, but only minor damage resulted with 6 beds flipped. 146 i Elizabeth Larkam Ken Loiseaux Margaret McCandless Mike McGinnis Dawn McNutt Margaret Miller Bill Montgomery Dana Orr Candia Morgan Harry Page Howard Norris Greg Polak 147 Meanwhile the ninth grade class had suffered a loss. Four freshman students had left S.S.S. be- cause of reasons varying from apparently trying to escape the environment to academic problems. The freshman class was now lowered to slightly under 50 people. Then the ninth grade scored another spectacular first and put themselves in the spotlight again. For the first time in the school’s history a musical, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown” was put on and immediately it was called by some the best play of the year. The point that was commented upon most seemed to be how smoothly the play came off. Gay Rhodes Marschall Runge Lisa Schwartz 148 Lester Self Milton Shepperd Rachel Silber Ricky Tichenor George Tindall Don Urash 149 Of course, it is hardly necessary for me to men- tion the happening of April 11, 1969. The fresh- man class joined in the activities and the spirit of the day. The love-in was welcomed as a release from the life they had been living for the previous seven months and as a chance to start again. Now to fin- ish up I will give a couple of quotes from fac- ulty to give the overall effect of the ninth grade. Mr. Pettus was heard to say something to the sense that the ninth grade boys’ dorm was well run and orderly, and that the ninth grade boys were very responsible. Mrs. Porter also gave her opinion of the ninth grade by saying, I’m all for you and glad you are here instead of there.” By Tim Hearn (Class of 72) 150 i Ronald Wilson 151 152 Class Officers: President Ralph Braley Vice-President Will Dibrell Secretary-Treasurer Rueben Rivers Walter Adams Alyce Barnes Paul Blencowe Ginger Borron Ralph Braley Betty Bray Polly Brown Chris Butler Lisa Carver Mark Clark Bruce Buckley Julie Buckthal 155 I don't know what to say in these opening sen- tences, so I will just give an opinion on the sopho- more class of 1968-1969. I guess I do know what to say. I've enjoyed this year as a sophomore, very much, sophomorically speaking. I see the beginning of the year through a blur, not caused by bustling activity on the part of the class as a whole, although some members were very busy. Some points I would like to give in respect to our year (togetherness) will come in the form of a good novel, but without the novel's continuity or set goal. This year’s activity will crawl toward a peak and then coast to a stand- still at the bottom of the hill.

RALPH BRALEY, I received the fol- lowing comments on questions pertaining to the class’ doings this year. Q.—How do you feel about the success of our class as a whole this year in the many things we planned to do? A.—Here, now our group had twenty-one percent fewer Y chromosomes than any other class in school. At this point Mr. B.’s assistant Larry Jones, had taken over. Q.—Sir, what do you think of the dance we gave this year (Sophomore class dinner-dance 1969— Some April day). A.—Well. Prdrdddrrdr, . . . you see. Now that we have had this discussion with our class official and his assistant, I’d like to give you some idea of what we went through this year, as a class. 158 Sally Harrison Clare Leddy Hope Lochridge Shelby Longoria Robert Hodges Gary Jones Larry Jones Mike Henderson Ruth Jonas We, as a class, decided at the begining of No- vember, to adopt a child of the Middle East. This, I will consider a rising action of our class. It may not be continuous, but in fact, between the birth of this idea and the next thing we did as a class is a break of about 3 months. The next thing we did was to give a dinner dance and midnight breakfast in honor of the senior class. This was the highlight of our year, I think. We've only done two things as yet and maybe there’ll be something else. We have great class enthusiasm, maybe something will happen, maybe we will do something else before the year is out, maybe our class will function again. We have no pessimism what-so-ever. Next year we will be juniors, (some of us). By Mike Henderson (Class of ’71) We did do something else—we won the SING- ING CONTEST!!!

From the BEGC to the Freeman Common Room its weight has been felt. Through the humdrum existence of the average, typical, everyday St. Stephen’s student there appear significant events, specks of light in the year of darkness. True to form, juniors have been the im- petus behind many of these works. Vicki Dammier Tom Dodds 168 Catherine Doremus Carl Erdmann Des Fletcher Barry Gilbert Gaye Holcomb Boo Inks 169 By common consensus, the most stimulating, out- standing happening of the year was the love-in, the rites of spring, or whatever one wishes to call it. Happy junior girls generated this first riot at St. Stephen’s, motus amon'ts (a riot of love), which dis- patched the disdainful indifference of the past months and brought to this school new intercourse non- existent before. No one has looked the same since. The outstanding literary achievement at St. Ste- phen’s this year was Mr. Becker’s junior English class's poetry portfolio. His why’s” and why not’s had produced in his class the quest to write poetry. t Ellen Jockusch Peter Jonas v Lisa Leftwich 170 The Whitie-Franke Bird Listening Societ)', with its incomparable spokesman Weismann, gave us airy reports from our flying populace. Juniors also played a big part in such activities and diversions as GED tutoring, the Saturday night bread and circuses, choir, chapel, and notably the flu epidemic. CEEB SAT and NMSQT scores, received in the early spring, drove many students to KCUF, the student voice. At the junior dance it was like dancing on feathers and springs. The music, also, was nothing short of good. As its chapel service, the junior class was able to provide the school with an ice cream party, despite a some- what less than unanimous pecuniary participation on the part of its members. Sandy Montgomery N Ned Nicolai 172 Mary Pincoffs Bessie Smith Joel Smith Danny Strain David Sumners Anna Beth Payne Pam Runge Jan Pendergrass Bill Rutter Enthusiasm was the theme of the bubbling junior class’s rendition at the sing-song. What it lacked in talent and performance, it compensated for in volume and participation. This activism and con- cern, which has so characterized the junior class of 1969, has been largely responsible for the program- ming of the two new courses for next year, one in filmmaking, the other an independent study in science. As seniors next year, our task will be to provide the leadership for St. Stephen's School. This junior class’s actions of the last nine months and its extraordinary qualities promise at least an exciting senior year; its past efforts and experiences will bear fruit. The junior class has been at the crossroads. By Jack Welch (Class of ’70) Ricky Urash Chris Weismann 174 Greg Whitaker Jack Welch Debbie Wolf rum Pete Woolery Ted Wright DeWayne Wilson 175 AW 181 184 185 190 J 93 196 199 204 The class of 1969 was as some will say the last of the straight classes. Others will say that it was the first of the nonconformist” classes. To a member of neither group, it seems to be both. There is a tremendous split in our class. It was made evi- dent over the last three years, in class meetings, outings, and most recently at graduation and the senior party. The straights were the Proctors, School Officers, and participants. The rest questioned the needs of responsibility, the feasibility of tradition, and empha- sized individuality over the group need. The class had two sponsors in the five years of its life; Mr. Bode and Mr. Borron. The former for the first two years, the latter for the last three years. Thirty six mem- bers of the class graduated while four others watched. The class of ’69 was hard-hit by losses in its last year. Chris Crosby, Jim Bemis, Mike Ozborne, and Ellen Payne left for different reasons. These four people were very much a part of the class and their exodus, made a serious dent in the class. Members of the class did leave behind a significant mark on the school. They were members of the class instrumental in writing the new constitution. Mr. Becker's English 12-a were the first class to work with film and helped to bring about the new film study course. Mike Childers and some other seniors worked last summer to paint the Student Lounge. A number of seniors gave a party for the new Austin students last summer. The class also failed in many things, most of-these due to the split within itself. We were attacked for our continuance of the transcepts. During the. Great love-in in April, more than half of the class was on a visit to the State Hospital. This is ironic, once one faculty member described the class as one which had never learned to like each other. This seems to be the root of the problem, a class which wouldn't understand itself and try to see what the other members wanted. We were plagued the whole way by being the class that experiments and new teachers were tried out on. The class was very straight and tried to keep up the traditions, but it had the un- fortunate position of being caught in the middle of change and couldn t make up its mind whether to go with it or fight it. We never really learned to work together and accept each other. But we did have good times in our separate groups. The unstraights” spent their time making fun of the straights,” and vice versa—each group doing what it wanted to do irregardless of the other—each trying to find happiness in the life at St. Stephen's. The only thing left to say is the hope that each group will find the Good Life;” learn from the years that we have been at St. Stephen’s and that these pictures will bring memories both good and bad of the class of '69- 209 « .� inn' 213 Below: JIM SLEDD Austin, Texas University of Chicago Right: TARI SHATTUCK Austin, Texas Antioch College — 221 Left: JESSICA BUHLER Victoria, Texas Goucher College Below: STEPHEN HEARNE Austin, Texas Columbia University JIM BEMIS Austin, Texas Amherst College ANDY MACLELLAN Mexico City, Mexico Cornell University Left: MARY NAPIER Richmond, Texas Mary Baldwin College CATHY CRITTENDEN Beaumont, Texas University of Texas Left: MARY LACY CLIFTON Waco, Texas Trinity University Above: SUSAN KINGSBURY Tegucigalpa, Honduras Pitzer College Below: MARCIA WHITE Houston, Texas Cornell University 0 s(iL f. v3 •V . v ''rr Above: MIKE CHILDERS Marble Falls, Texas Beloit College Above Right: MIKE CHILDS Austin, Texas University of North Carolina Above: PAT McSPADDEN Houston, Texas Austin College iLmBS.
