1968:
A Conn 14K (probably, or maybe King 1250) very very smelly, dusty, dirty, and musty brass sousaphone on one of those collapsable stands, with a school-owned Astro nylon cup mouthpiece which had the cup wobbling around on the shank...or maybe a Herco (There were two or three "school" mouthpieces floating around.)...probably had the wrong bits and probably had paper wads and other goodies in it.
' surely a sign from the Muse to "stay the course"...
