. rt . ffeOft THE OWL Memphis University School 1962 Hyde Chapel AAemphis University School To be completed May 1962 FOREWORD Our school days having come to an end, we pause to look back upon the friends and mennories of the 1961-62 school year. A senior class departs-the new replaces the old. However, the life we leave behind us will not be forgotten in the following years. We all have had pleasant, memorable experiences, and our 1962 annual has captured only a glimpse of these memories. In future years, we may relive through these pages our best years, and realize the good beginning that Memphis University School gave to our lives. Also, we have endeavored to introduce new ideas in our annual and to show signs of progress in our school as shown by our new chapel building. With the above in mind, we present to you the sixth edition of the Owl. .A- J l - I , ' ■ ■■ ' ' . ' ■«■ ' ' , il ' ' - 6 ' M wir • ' •. r ' Xi, -.1 - i , rf.iC ' Si ' }, - .. « f lVl . ' J?

For six years, AAr. Hatchett has taught at Memphis University School with unsurpassed dedication to his work. He has combined his talent of wit and knowledge of English to inspire in the student a desire to learn, and at the same time, he has made the student ' s life more pleasant. It is our desire to dedicate this edition of our annual to him as a very small token of our gratitude for his presence with us at Memphis University School. ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY . J DR. ROSS M.

HONOR COUNCIL The Honor Council, which is made up of elected representatives from each class, is the highest governing body of students at Memphis University School. The function of the Honor Council is to su- pervise and enforce the Honor System. It in- vestigates all reported offenses of the Honor System, clearing the student if innocent, and rec- ommending procedure if guilty.

CAPTAINS: John Laughlin John Martin 77 ,M 7B  . . ► _ H . iji . ' M.U.S. opened its season with the Trojans of Millington who were a pre-season pick for the county championship and a heavy favorite over the inexperienced Owls. M.U.S. kicked off, and on the first piay of the game the Trojans got the ball to midfield. They scored on the second play by throwing a long pass and then went over for the extra point. The Owls received the kick and successfully moved the ball 20 yards, but were finally stopped and forced to punt. At the half Millington was ahead 7 to 0. Late in the third quarter M.U.S. put on an offensive and got the ball deep within the Trojan territory. John Laughlin passed to Rick Moore who was brought down on the six yard line. At this -point the Trojans tightened their defense and turned back the M.U.S. scoring threat. In the closing minutes of the game Mill- ington recovered a fumble on the M.U.S. five yard line. The determined Owl line anchored by Bob Manker and Richard Gatling held back the Trojan push. After the first two plays of the game, the Trojans had all they could handle with the scrapping Owls. Final score Millington 7 and M.U.S. 0. 78 ' • 3f T ' - t_fcj , : ..xmmp.: lif ' l ' -. miSAd fL - AA.U.S. bounced back the following week-end and took White Station 20 to 6. The Owls kicked off to White Station and then proceeded to hold them for three plays-thus forcing them to punt. The Owls took over and began to move, but this drive was stopped at midfield. Towards the last of the second quarter, M.U.S. took the ball deep in its own territory and began a drive. John Martin and Spike Taylor put the Owls on the Spartan ' s ten yard line. John Laughlin rolled out and passed to Rick Moore who made a great catch in the end zone. John Martin carried the ball across for the extra point, and M.U.S. was ahead at the half 7 to 0. After the Owls received the second half kick off, Laughlin completed passes to Fred Smith, Lloyd Rodenbaugh, and Rick Moore to set up the second touchdown. On a rollout Laughlin got off a terrific pass, and this time hit Rodenbaugh in the end zone. Martin smashed through the line and the extra point was good. The Owls defensive line proved too tough for the Spartans; so again they were forced to punt and M.U.S. took over. The fine blocking by Frank Doggrell and Phillip Wood opened holes in the Spartan line which aided Henry Grenley in making two long runs to spark the team ' s third touchdown march. Martin bulled across the goal line for the score-the try for the extra point failed. White Station ' s only score came late in the fourth quarter on a long reverse. Final score-M.U.S. 20 and White Station 6. 79 • ' I H AA.U.S. was going for its second consecutive win when the Owls met Gernnantown on the Red Devils home field. M.U.S. took the opening kickoff, but after three plays were forced to punt. Jim Place ' s perfect snap from center gave Rick Moore plenty of time to get off a long end over end kick and Germantown took over on their own 30 yard line. The going was hard and rough for the first quarter with neither team being able to break through the opponent ' s defensive line. In the opening minutes of the second quarter M.U.S. started a drive which ended with John Martin going over from the five. John Laughlin passed to Lloyd Rodenbaugh and the extra point was good. Ger- mantown scored late in the second period on a long reverse. The Owls dug in and the try for the extra point failed. Halftime score: M.U.S. 7, Germantown 6. Coach Jake Rudolph sent a fired up team back on the field after the half, and as soon as they got pos- session of the ball, they never let go until they crossed the goal line. Laughlin passed twice to Fred Smith for 15 and 20 yard gains. Then from ten yards out he passed again to Smith, this time hitting him in the end zone. The Owls kicked off, and Richard Smith made a slashing tackle to put Germantown deefD in its own territory. M.U.S. then launched a new assault. Yardage was gained with Spike Taylor sweeping the ends and Laughlin running the rollout passes and Martin driving up the middle. Once again in scoring po- sition, Laughlin passed to Smith from twelve yards out for the touchdown. Laughlin was injured late Jn the third quarter and Frank Tenent took the controls. Germantown tried a long pass, but Tenent intercepted and ran the ball back for a 50-yard touchdown. Tenent passed to Ro- denbaugh for the extra point. Later, John Martin crashed through the Germantown line and blocked a punt. Wilsen Barton recovered to set up the last Owl touchdown. Spike Taylor ran the ball over only to have it called back. The next play gave Taylor the ball again, and again he carried it into the end zone, this time for six points. Martin bulled his way over the Red Devil line for the point after touchdown. Final score: M.U.S. 33, Germantown 6. 80 i J H.- Z : k ' . % . Collierville was one of the powers in the county and the Owls were playing them on their home field. Early in the game the Owls intercepted a pass and began a drive. John Laughlin ran outside while John Martin smashed up the middle. This put AA.U.S. inside the Dragons ten; then Martin blasted off tackle through the hole Bob Manker had opened for the score. After this, the Dragons received the kick, and their march downfield resulted in a touchdown. This tied the score at 7-7. The second Owl touchdown was guided by John Laughlin who succeeded in keeping the opponents off guard as he mixed up his running and passing. Laughlin hit Lloyd Rodenbaugh on two great passes, and Martin kept the defense honest by running up the middle. Laughlin again connected with Rodenbaugh in the end zone just before the half to put M.U.S. ahead 1 3 to 7. Collierville received the second half kick and marched straight up the field. The Owl defense gave ground grudgingly, but the Dragons pushed across to score. Their extra point was good and M.U.S. trailed by a point. With six minutes left in the game, the Owls got the ball on their own twenty. The terrific catches made by Rodenbaugh of two of Laughlin ' s long passes got this drive started. Then Martin ' s run up the middle brought the Owls within ten yards of the goal. With fourth down and goal to go— Laughlin let loose a ten yards pass to Fred Smith in the end zone. M.U.S. won. 20 to 14. sii r- ' M.U.S. unleashed a powerful offense to crush Oakhaven 40 to 14. This offense was spearheaded by the alert passing of John Laughlin, the terrific cross blocking by Ray Brakebill, Barney Witherington and George Treadwell, and the crashing spirits of John Martin. The Owls scored as soon as they got the ball as a result of a powerful line drive. Laughlin scored this first touchdown from three yards out and passed to Lloyd Rodenbaugh for the extra point. Then M.U.S. kicked off to the Hawks but their backs could not hang onto the ball. They fumbled, and Spike Taylor re- covered over from the five. The try for the extra point failed. A fired up M.U.S. team kicked off to Oakhaven to start the second quarter. The Hawks tried a pass deep in their own territory-Martin intercepted and outraced the shocked Oakhaven players 40 yards to the goal line. Laughlin scored the extra point on an option play. At the half, the score was 20 to in favor of the Owls. The Hawks received the second kickoff and started a drive. This spurt was short lived, for Tim Tread- well made some bruising tackles to shake up the Hawks backs, and at midfield M.U.S. took possession of the ball on a fumble recovered by Wilson Barton. Once more on the march, guards Philip Wood, and M. Hutchison helped clear the way for Laughlin ' s ten yard run for pay dirt. Laughlin also carried for the extra point. Oakhaven scored their only two touchdowns for the night in the last of the third quarter on pass plays. Halfback Henry Grenley set up the Owls fifth touchdown on two long runs which put M.U.S. on the Hawks ' 35 yard line. The scoring play of the series was a pass by Laughlin to Rodenbaugh after which Laugh- lin went over for the extra point. The final touchdown came as a result of a powerful drive from 7 yards out by John Martin. 82 - ■•-• ' ;. '  - IsUse-f • M 5 ' , i. - ' JipS ' v.

M.U-S. was slow to get started, but John Martin took a pitchout on the 45 yard line-followed his interference to about the 20 and then outran the last Lion defender for the Owls ' first score. John Laughlin made the extra point good. Harding then tried to move the ball, but the Owls ' strong defensive line led by middle linebacker Ray Brakebill and tackles Bob Manker and Richard Gatling held them for no gain. M.U.S. took over but couldn ' t seem to get rolling and so elected to punt. The long, high spiralling kick by Rick Moore put the ball deep within the Lions ' territory. It was then only a matter of time before the Owls were on the move again. The hard running by Henry Grenley and John Martin gave the Owls a first down; then with about four minutes left in the half, Laughlin rolled out and passed to Lloyd Rodenbaugh who ran across for the touchdown. M.U.S. left the half leading 13 to 0. The second half the Owls came back more determined than the first. Paced by Laughlin ' s hard running and good passing they got down to the 4 yard line, but in two plays weren ' t able to score. On the third try Laughlin smashed over tackle for the score. The extra point failed. In the final period the Owls were still on the move with the running of Spike Taylor. The M.U.S. line consistently opened up holes for the runners, and Taylor raced over for the fourth touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter the Owls threatened to score again with the quarterbacking of Fred Smith and the running of George Piper, but time ran out. The game ended— M.U.S. 26, Harding Academy 0. 83 ,i .,«i£ s.. ' . t -ismsmi.- AA.U.S. was forced to yield to the powerful Shelby County Champions, Whitehaven, 54-0. The team showed a strong desire and a determined effort but was simply outnumbered by the larger Whitehaven Squad. in the first quarter John Martin and Spike Taylor repeatedly gained substantial yardage but were not able to break through the Whitehaven secondary. M.U.S. held the Tiger ' s powerful single wing team score- less in the first quarter by giving a brilliant defensive performance, led by Bob Manker and Richard Gatling who made many fine tackles in the line and by John Laughlin, Fred Smith, and Frank Tenent who all did a fine job in the secondary. During the first quarter the inspired Owl team outplayed Whitehaven. The turning point came in the second quarter when Whitehaven broke through the Owl line and ran sixty yards for a touchdown. After that the Tigers went on to score many times despite the efforts of the defense to stop them. 84 IfSft : ' V9 ,._.,. . Two AA.U.S. touchdowns in the second quarter were not enough to stop Bartlett from spoiling the Owl ' s five game winning streak when Bartlett defeated AA.U.S. 28-13. Bartlett made a touchdown early in the first quarter but AA.U.S. came back to score on a long drive aided by the expert running of John AAartin and Henry Grenley and determined blocking in the line, which brought the ball to the three yard line, where John Laughlin ran it over for the score. John AAartin tied the score by adding the extra point. Spike Taylor put AA.U.S. ahead by scoring on a six yard plunge later on in the quarter, but the lead did not last long for Bartlett came back to score another touchdown, making the score at the half 14-13. The AA.U.S. defense put on a brilliant performance in the third quarter and the Panthers were not able to score. But after a fake kick in the final quarter which brought Bartlett out of a hole, the Owls could not stop them from scoring. Bartlett went on to score again and thus put AA.U.S. a good way behind in points, but the fine Owl of- fense would not give up. A long drive put them in scoring position, but an incomplete pass on the fourth down stalled the march. The final score was Bartlett 28, AA.U.S. 13. 85 In the final game of the season AA.U.S. came back after two previous losses to shut out Kingsbury 13-0. The first half of the game went scoreless as the two teams battlecJ for possession of the ball. Although AA.U.S. was not able to score in the first half, they posed a constant threat to the Falcons who had a tough time defensing the hard running and blocking of the entire Owl team. John Laughlin broke the scoreless tie early in the second half when he plunged over from the three yard line on a quarterback sneak. The score came after a long drive sustained by passes from Laughlin to John AAartin, Henry Grenley, Lloyd Rodenbaugh, and Rick AAartin. John AAartin added the extra point by running across the goal on an off-tackle slant. The Owls ' other score came in the final period when AA.U.S. utilized the mighty running power of John AAartin to drive all the way for a touchdown. Not enough credit can be given to Bob AAanker, Ray Brakebill, Frank Tenent, and all the rest of the strong AA.U.S. defense, which held Kingsbury scoreless. 86 INDIVIDUAL SNAPSHOTS mmgtgMii m NINTH GRADE FOOTBALL 28 « I %|5l 2 i iSa ' 7 a : riii5ai .J- , i3B «S - aCL.

In the third game of the season, AA.U.S. met disaster at the hands of arch-rival Whitehaven, 42-0.

The Varsity B Team had a season of improvement this year. Under the coaching of Coach Rudolph the B team went to 13-5 league record and a 15-7 overall. The team worked hard but had some dis- appointments such as Whitehaven, Bolton, and Oakhaven losses that should have been victories. The greatest victory was the spine-tingling M.U.S.-Bartlett game in which the team put forth a fine effort to win by only 5 points. The Bolton game was probably the biggest disappointment because of the narrow loss. The clock had ten seconds to go and Woodson, the constant high scorer of the team, made a foul shot to put us one point ahead. Bolton got the ball and a lone man down-court sank a 30-footer to win the game. AA.U.S. ' B ' s ended their season on a bad note by losing another close one 48-44 to Oakhaven. The numerous other victories made up for the few mishaps that occurred, and the B ' s ended their season feel- ing it was well spent. As for the boys, they all worked hard and each showed his own skill, starting with Woodson, whose turning jump-shot led the team in scoring. Brakebill ' s conscientious defense kept the opposing teams to low scores. Wilson Barton ' s rebounding made it hard for the opposing team to get the ball after a shot. Norman ' s long corner shots and Kelly ' s drives gave the team a strong scoring punch. Jim Long, who joined the team late in the season, looked good, also. 108 NINTH GRADE BASKETBALL Left to right: TOP: Coach Patterson, Rick Ferguson, David Bowlin, Pete Whitington, Ray Larson, Don McClure, Jon Householder, manager.

The team entered the Tournament seeded first and thus drew a bye to the semi-finals. In this game the Junior High defeated Millington, 53-25. In the finals they met arch-rival Whitehaven, the only team they had lost to all season, but the Baby Owls came through and trounced the Tigers, 51-35 for the District 35 Championship. 10 EIGHTH GRADE BASKETBALL Left to right: TOP: Coach Smith, John Petree, Barry Silverstein, Jack Roberts, Bob Lee.
