Administration Meets Needs Without able administrators, no school would be able to function ef- fectively, and the reason that MUS functions so well is because of its ad- ministrators. Colonel Lynn ' s extensive experience in administrative affairs produced another financially stable year with innovative leadership. Coach Thorn made sure that the rotat- ing schedule operated smoothly, and he also helped the seniors with their college decisions. As Academic Dear i, Mr. MacQueen was in charge of curri- culum changes and academic coun- seling of underclassmen. He also served as faculty advisor for the Stu- dent Council. Mr. Springfield contin- ued doing a fine job as principal of the lower school.

Lower School Teachers Foster Secure Atmosphere A new student usually comes to MUS as a 7th or 8th grader. The first impressions of his teachers and their attitudes and interests influence him a great deal. The lower school faculty members helped to make a new stu- dent feel more at ease in his new envi- ronment. Mr. George Elder taught lower school Bible and upper school speech; he also directed the dramat- ics program. Mrs. Higgs taught 8th grade Latin and vocabulary; two basic junior high courses. Mr. Perkins taught mathematics to both the 7th and 8th grades. Mr. Bill Smith taught 7th grade English, and Mr. Tom Rad- ford taught Tennessee geography and world geography. He was also faculty coordinator of the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes. Mr. Al Marques joined the faculty late in the second quarter to teach Bible and Latin II.
