Participa- tion in all the activities is what really provides an education. It is our hope that this annual will serve not only to remind students of the experiences of the year just past, but also to instill in them a school spirit.

Rudolph We, the members of the an- nual staff, dedicate the 1965 Owl to Mr. Jacob Rudolf. In his seven years at M.U.S., he has served as head football coach, B team basketball and golf coach. Coach Rudolf is also the head of the Physical Ed- ucation Department, and he has taught mathematics to the and led the MUS team to two consecutive championships. As head of the P.E. classes, this year ' s program has been the best ever. All students who have known Mr. Rudolf either as coach or teacher will remember him as a friend of the students and always taking an interest in their problems. lower forms. As football coach, he has had several excellent seasons, and this year he produced the best team in the school ' s his- tory. His U B Team record has been fantastic. His teams have won the last three con- secutive league championships, and compiled an unbelievable 45-4 record. He instigated the Shelby County Golf League, - U FEATURE 1 « Tradition, especially a tradition of loyalty and school spirit, is one of a school ' s most essential attributes. Such a tradi tion of spirit usually takes years to develop. It begins to exist only when students take personal pride and interest in their school and its activities. Through hard work and determination, this spirit has been developed at M.U.S. 10 Much of the credit must go to the Pep Club, WWbWWi i whose signs, decorations, II pep rallies, and bonfires to the Hoot Owls, and to the cheerleaders. These people have all helped to make M.U.S. Number One not only in athletics but also in school spirit. £ ) NLTiiri ' i CLACK D!NINO HALL r% m - «. , % J ■■ . w- 4 J BOARD AND FACULTY 15 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Alexander Wellford, Chairman Robert G.

She received her MA. degree in Latin from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Before coming to MUS, Mrs. Higgs taught English at Longview Junior High School. At MUS, she has tried to give her stu- dents a feeling for the living qualities of Latin. In her room may be found such things as proverbs expressed in Latin. At one Friday morning chapel program, she di- rected a presentation by her students of a play about Virgil, not the author of the Aeneid, but instead a Latin student in New York who gradually discovers that there is Latin all around him. Besides Latin, Mrs. Higg ' s great- est interest is music. She has taught private piano lessons at home for several years and is organist at Broadway Baptist Church. She attended the St. Louis Institute of Music summer session for two years. MR. JOHN HOWELLS, although one of the newest teachers at MUS, is one of the most popular teachers. Mr. Howells was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and prepared for college at Westminster School in Atlanta. He attended Yale Uni- versity and graduated in 1964 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. At MUS, Mr. Howells teaches eighth and tenth grade English. Coach Howells is noted for his prowess in swimming and in water polo. He is now coach- ing the varsity swimming team and plays water polo at the Memphis Athletic Club.

This past summer, Mr. Howells became acquainted with the school through his work at the MUS Day Camp as a swimming instructor. During the eight weeks he met many MUS students and faculty members. MR. JOHN LA WO, another new member of the faculty this year, is an MUS graduate. He attended Vanderbilt University and Southwestern College at Memphis and re- ceived his B.A. degree in .English and psychology from Vanderbilt.

Before coming to MUS, Mr. Lawo worked as a free lance writer and has been pub- lished in Readers ' Digest, Fortune Magazine, and other national publications. He also has worked in the public relations department of Holiday Inns of America, Inc., and as assistant baseball coach at Rollins College. He spends much of his free time racing motorcycles and mak- ing additions to his already copious little black book. 20 The head of the Memphis University School history de- partment, MR. LEIGH W. MACQUEEN, holds the Ross McCain Lynn Chair of History. He attended Memphis Central High School, and received his B.A. degree from Southwestern College in 1955; he did post-graduate work at Vanderbilt and received his M.A. degree from Mem- phis State.

He edited the new M.U.S. Catalogue and the 1964-65 Handbook. Mr. MacQueen also enjoys such outside activities as golf and basketball, and oc- casionally joins the track team for a warm-up. His in- terest in history is not confined to the classroom and he is a member of the American Historical Association and the Mississippi Valley Historical Association. This summer he and his wife plan to join the ranks of the world travelers with a tour of Europe. MR. DAVID MORELOCK, the professor of French at Memphis University School, actor, and cross-word puzzle solver extrordinaire is a person familiar to all M.U.S. students. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree at Southwestern, Mr. Morelock studied under a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Paris and studied at Tulane University. Mr. Morelock is fluent in French and Spanish and proficient Italian, Russian, German, and Greek. An active member of the community and school, Mr. Morelock is the sponsor for the Annual and a repre- sentative of the National Honor Society. He also has acted in numerous plays at the Front Street Theatre, Little Theatre, and the Memphis Shakespeare Festival; he has served several years as director of the Memphis Opera Theatre. MR. BRYAN E. NEARN is in his second year as a teach- er at M.U.S. He received his B.A. from Tulane with a major in English and a minor in Spanish and psychology This year he is the counselor for the eighth grade and is the seventh and eighth grade -social advisor, two jobs which he admits fill most of his school time. While not at school he spends some of his time reading and playing tennis. This year Mr. Nearn chaperoned the eighth grade trip to the Sugar Bowl. He plans to do graduate work in English this summer, although he says he would rather travel. 21 MR. EVIN L. PERDUE graduated from Southwestern with a B.S. in mathematics. While at Southwestern Mr. Perdue was very active in all student activities, a mem- ber of the Track Team, a Tennessee intercollegiate cham- pion in the quarter and half mile run, and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He has a Bachelor of Foreign Trade Degree and an M.A. Degree in Educa- tion with a minor in mathematics from Memphis State University.

He has traveled through- out the Far East, Europe, North Africa, Central America, and North America. At M.U.S., Mr. Perdue teaches Sec- ond Year Algebra, Calculus, and Seventh Grade Mathe- matics, and he is the faculty advisor to the Archaeology Club. Well-known among all students, and especially those in athletics, is M. JERRY PETERS. Mr. Peters graduated from Southwestern in 1960, receiving his B.A. in political science. He received his M.A. degree at Memphis State University in 1962. During high school he lettered in basketball, baseball, track, and cross-country and he con- tinued his athletic participation during college. A mem- ber of the Department of Social Science, Mr. Peters is best known for his United States Government course. This past year Mr. Peters led the M.U.S. Track team, commonly called Jerry and the Pacemakers , to a tre- mendous success on the cinders. He coached the team to a County Championship and a seventh place finish in the State Meet, along with a decisive first in the Humbolt Relays. Mr. Peters was appointed head basketball coach last summer and the student body is hopeful that his success in track will carry over toward a successful bas- ketball season. MRS. JANIS V. PIERCE is a new member of our faculty this year. She graduated from Ole Miss and received her Masters degree in Spanish in 1964. She was a member of the following honorary societies: Alpha Lambda Delta, CWENS, Sigma Delta Pi, Mortar Board, and University Scholars.

She is involved in many civic organizations such as the Oxford Pilgrimage Com- mittee, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Centennial Study Club, and the University Dames. 22 The head of the Bible Department at M.U.S., MR. ALMUS POLSGROVE, is one of our many new teachers this year. He has attended Union University, the University of Mississippi, Southern Theological Seminary, the Univer- sity of Houston, and Mississippi State, where he received his M.Ed, degree and his M.A. degree.

A recent addition to the M.U.S. faculty is MR. THOMAS P. POWELL. Mr. Powell will receive his B.S. degree in Geography from Memphis State this year, and he plans to continue his work there for an M.A. degree in Education. He teaches seventh grade geography and physical educa- tion. Coach Powell, as he is called by many of his stu- dents, played both high school and college football. In 1961, his senior year at Batesville High School, he made the all-state team, and then went on to play halfback for Southwestern. This year, he brought his talents to M.U.S. and was junior high backfield coach. MR. JACOB RUDOLPH graduated from Georgia Insti- tute of Technology in 1953 and received a B.S. degree in Industrial Management. In 1951, after four years of college football, his talent merited him selection to the All-American defensive football team. He did graduate work at both Oglethorpe and Memphis State, and served in the Air Force for two years as a First Lieutenant. Before coming to M.U.S. in 1958, he taught at Darlington School in Rome, Georgia. He has taught first year algebra and eighth grade mathematics, but this year has become full time director of the physical education program. He is varsity football coach, and this year led the team to a second place finish in the County League. Mr. Rudolph also coaches the basketball B team which had a perfect season last year, and the varsity golf team, which has won the County Championship for the past two years. 23 MR. DAVID SMITH, a new teacher at M.U.S., attended Southwestern in Memphis where he was graduated in 1960 with a B.A. in English. At Southwestern he was a member of Alpha Theta Omega social fraternity and Stylus Literary Organization. He then attended Union Theological Seminary in Virginia.

Mr. Smith teaches English and American lit- erature and public speaking, and he is coach of the debating team. Mr. Smith is currently doing post-grad- uate work at Memphis State University. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting and fishing. MR. ROBERT SMITH graduated from Michigan State University in 1956 with a major in history and a minor in physical science. He did graduate work at Memphis State University, and in the summer of 1962 he studied at Montana State University on a National Science Foundation Scholarship. Before coming to M.U.S. in 1957 Mr. Smith taught at Collierville High School and worked at one time as a building contractor. At M.U.S., he teaches chemistry, physics, and general science. Mr. Smith is a member of the Tennessee Science Teachers Association. During his years at M.U.S. he has served as advisor to the Student Council and several other groups. He is presently operating the school book store which carries everything from books to sweatshirts. MR. JOHN MURRY SPRINGFIELD, master of seventh grade grammar and composition, music appreciation, and eighth and ninth grade mathematics, has taught at M.U.S. since 1958. He earned his B.A. at Southwestern in 1957 and his M.F.A. in musicology at Princeton in 1951. Mr. Springfield launched his teaching career at Bethel College in McKenzie, Tennessee.

He conducts the M.U.S. choir, plays the piano in the daily chapel services, and is the faculty advisor of the folk singing group. Last summer, Mr. Springfield was the only faculty survivor of the ill- fated MUSBOMB expedition. 24 MR. ALLAN STRAND, the Administrative Assistant, joined the faculty at M.U.S. in 1959. Since his arrival, he has proved to be a vital asset in the everyday opera- tion of the school. Mr. Strand received his B.A. degree from Davidson College in 1952, and his B.D. Degree from Westminister Theological Seminary in 1955. In 1962, he received his M.A. degree from Memphis State University, with a major in education and a minor in English.

WILLIAM SULLIVAN attended Southwestern Col- lege, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Here he graduated with honors in philosophy and received his B.A. Degree. He studied at Union The- ological Seminary for two years. Mr. Sullivan has served in several churches. Mr. Sullivan now teaches biology and mathematics at M.U.S. He also raises horses, some of which he has entered in various shows in this area. Some of our most interesting chapel programs have been given by Bwana Sullivan about his numerous hunting expeditions. He hunts mountain lion, bear, deer, and antelope throughout the western United States, and parts of Canada. He has also hunted smaller game such as quail, duck, squirrel, and pheasants. Moreover, he has hunted wild boar in the deep regions of Mexico. MR. DOSS EUGENE THORN, perhaps one of the best known faculty members at Memphis University School, is known to most of us as Coach Thorn.

He has also worked for nine years to make the M.U.S. day camp the success that it has been. Outside of his work at school, Mr. Thorn ' s favorite pastimes are playing golf and growing roses. 25 SIXTH FORM 27 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS 28 WILLIAM ANDREW ALLEN Honor Council 3, 4, 5; Student Council 6; Pep Club Treas. 6; Football 2; Basketball 2; Golf 3, 4, 5, 6; Paper 3; Annual 5, 6; Editor 6; Engineering Club 4, 5; Pep Club 6; National Honor Society 5, 6. Andy is our class ' s good guy. Nobody does so much and gets cut so hard for trying. Look at his girls; to them he ' s just tubby or that Collierville — . Amen-Ra al- ways has something nice to say about Andy. (But then Amen ' s got something nice to say about everybody.) His White Impala can be seen daily in the afternoon flying over to the Chickasaw C.C. for a fast nine. Andy is famous for his card parties; unfortunately few people come because it takes a guide to get to Little Andy ' s. In closing, we ' d like to remind you that Andy is Editor of this fine school publica- tion. JAMES LIVINGSTON BOOTH Cross Country 2, 3; Track 5, 6; Engineering Club 4; Hunt- ing Fishing Club 5; National Honor Society 6. Everybody in class firmly believes that Booth is at least a little superhuman; how else could he have totaled a Volkswagen and come out of it without a scratch. Of course, to look at him you ' d never believe it, but then who else but an immortal or a masochist would run cross country under Coach Peters and come back for another year of it. But Jim does have his weak spot; the determination demon- strated in track does not apply to Coach Smith. After three years of it, he finally gave up and switched to Mr. Chandler ' s physics. DAVID LESLIE BOWLIN Senior Class Pres.; Social Committee 3, 4, 5, 6, Pres. 6; Student Council 6; Football 2, 3, 5, 6; Basketball 2, 3, 5, 6; Paper 4, 5; Annual Staff, Sports Editor 6; National Honor Society 6; Lettermans Club 5, 6; Dramatic Club 4, 5, 6; Future Physician s Club 5, 6; All-County basketball 3; March of Dimes 5, 6; Most Popular 6. We see Casey as a new J. P. Morgan, controlling financial empires. He ' s the only guy we know who can give Senior parties almost weekly and always make money on them. Witness that open party last June. Who else would have thought of turning on the heat in the cafeteria to sell those cokes at two bits a throw. We suspect that he ' s really planning to skip out to Brazil, when the Senior class treasury passes the one million dollar mark. Although Casey has his choice of thousands of girls, we all know who his true love is. 29 - JOHN WALDRUP BROWN Student Council 2, 3; Tennis 1; Paper Staff 6; Dramatics Club 3, 4; Pep Club 5, 6; Red Cross 5; Office Staff 5. Waldrup, better known as Mouse , has had an extremely exciting year. To begin with, he was selected to be Big Brother to the cheerleaders. This was really a good deal because he gets first choice of all our beautiful cheerleaders. When Mouse isn ' t finding dates for the cheerleaders, he ' s either talking to Lovitt, or trying to find a new relative at Sewanee. Mouse leaves his white rocket to anyone who will take it, but the word is that Snow White, his sister, wants to drive it on her milk route. WILLIAM HENRY BRYANT Transferred from Jonesboro High School 4; Student Council 3; National Junior Honor Society 3; Manager 3. The entire student body is mystified by Bill ' s briefcase. One larger faction is firmly convinced that he ' s agent 008. Several of the seventh graders, despite assurances to the contrary, believe that he is a teacher. It ' s no wonder, who else would always walk around with a coat and tie on? Bill, the Golden Hurricane, sees himself as the star of the Red Five Phys. Ed. team, but somehow he never can seem to lead us to victory. 30 WILLIAM DUNLAP CANNON Football 2, 3, 6; All-County 6; Basketball 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; All District 4; All-County Honorable Mention 4, 5; Tennis 3, 4 Paper Staff 4, 6; Pep Club 4, 6; Library Committee 5 Photography Club 4; Lettermans Club 4, 5, 6; Red Cross Most Athletic 6. Dee is better known as the Don Juan of M.U.S. Besides being a great lover, Dee is an accomplished basketball star due to the careful tutoring of Papa Carl. This year he also decided to become a football star, but he cagily waited until after football camp to go out. Deacon ' s wardrobe is a wonder to behold. What other boy dresses like Dee? Dee ' s main asset is his beautiful Karman Ghia. We leave Dee heartbroken and without a date (sure). STEVEN WAYNE CHAMBERLAIN Paper Staff 6; Annual Staff 6; Pep Club 6. Wayne, the Gordie Howe of the gym hockey league, is destined for greater feats of daring. He holds the record for the greatest number of saves, four in one game ( he caught them in his teeth). Wayne is also a pool hustler. Every day at lunchtime (and during study halls) he may be found playing 8-ball with Hardy. Though Wayne likes hockey and pool, his favorite pastime is playing hide-and-go-seek. Always ready- to start up a new game. Wayne was famous for spreading it to Destin. WILLIAM THOMAS CURTIS Muse Staff 3; Debating Club 2, 4; Creative Writing Club 2; Astronomy Club 3. Tommy, our newly arrived senior, has managed to get through high school in three years. What perseverance! Tom- my, who, contrary to public opinion, is not the Curtiss Candy Company heir, can most often be found trying to keep the library in a semblance of order. We leave Tommy whizzing off in his army green rubber band powered Mustang. RICHARD HARRISON FERGUSON Student Council 5, 6, Pres.; Lettermens Club 4, 5, 6, Pres. 6; Best Ail-Around 6; Football 3, 4, 5, 6, All-County 6; Basket- ball 3, 4, 5, 6; Track 3, 4, 5, 6; Magazine Drive Chairman 5; Pep Club 6; Red Cross 5; March of Dimes 5, 6; Teenager of the Week 6; Hunting and Fishing Club 5. Rick is not called Tricky Ricky for nothing. Who else could have four girls fighting over him at the same time. Rick spends his spare time climbing and cutting trees, but when he ' s not playing Paul Bunyan, he can be found at Betty ' s country club or going somewhere on his bicycle. Rick wants to be a salesman when he grows up. This we can ' t understand. Who would give up ownership of all Holiday Inns to sell bicycles? We can ' t understand you Rick, so go cut down a tree, or shoot your cannon, or something. ■ : ■ CHRISTOPHER LEE FITZHUGH Transferred from The Choate School 6; Track Manager 2, 3, 6; Paper Staff 4, 5; Annual 6; French Club 3, 4; Glee Clubl. Chris is our suave, debonair surfer from California. He used to go to Choate, but when he heard how great the food was here at M.U.S., he decided to transfer. We believe Chris came here to be president of the Sidewalk Surfers Club, but Louie has other ideas. Chris says he spends a lot of time studying, but studying what we don ' t know. Chris has made many new friends this year, among them Mr. Morelock, Mr. Humphreys, and all the Lausanne boarders. PHILLIP FONDREN FLOYD Cross Country 1; Golf 5; Annual Staff 6; Paper Staff 6; Pep Club 6; Red Cross Chairman 6; Sports Writer for Press- Scimitar 6. Aw Coach, my left leg is paralyzed, says cancer-ridden Phil to Coach Rudolph. Sure Floyd, just go on out and play. So, once again, Phil goes out to score the winning touchdown for the Red team despite his paralyzed leg. It ' s a good thing Phil ' s graduating this year, because other- wise, Mr. MacQueen would have to invent another history course; Phil ' s only taken six of them already. Phil says he wants to be a history teacher, but somehow we really can ' t see him delivering a lecture on the March of the Ten Thousand or the English tobacco trade in the Eighteenth Century. 32 CHARLES HENRY FULLER Transferred from White Station High School 6. Charlie will be perhaps best remembered for his brown bomb. When Tom Woods finally broke down last year and got rid of his bomb, we were left without a junk heap in the parking lot to marvel at every day. But Charlie came through. Not only is his car as old as Tom ' s, but its inde- scribable tan (?) color is twice as ugly. We figure Charlie has great potential as a test driver; anyone who can drive a car with no clutch, loose steering, and spongy brakes, must have real talent. PAUL TROWBRIDGE GILLESPIE Football 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Captain 6; All-County 5; Basketball 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, All-District 3, All-County 5; Track 6; Social Committee 4; Paper Staff 4, 5, 6; Annual Staff 5, 6; Red Cross 4; Dramatics Club 5; Pep Club 5; Lettermans Club 4, 5, 6; March of Dimes 5; Library Committee 6. Trow has his own personal religion — Gibsonism. Yes, Trow was known as a love and leave ' em, until he naet Sally. But just when things were really popping, Sally left for college. Trow went into mourning for several weeks but since then he has been seen with his neighbor that White Station cheerleader. In between his dates with Sally, Trow managed to find some time for athletics. Trow leaves us saying, Good deal Lucille, we ' ll see ya. SAMUEL KERNS HARDY Transferred from Overton High School 6; Track 2, 3; Foot- ball 2, 3, 4, 5; All District 3; Drama Club 3. Sam was perhaps the most valuable player in both the Junior-Senior and student-faculty football games. Not only was he a star on the field with his vicious blocking, but his pre-game advice on how to play dirty football without getting caught (including such topics as how to conceal various weapons in the uniform) was invaluable. Sam is in hot contention with Chamberlain and Nichols for a position on the Common Room Council as a representative of the more conservative members of the class. HENRY ROBERT HELLER, III Football 2, 3, Manager 4, 5, 6; Annual Staff 3; Paper Staff 3, 5, 6; Lettermen ' s Club 4, 5, 6; Office Staff 5. Bob ' s claim to fame is his famous Bartlett victory party. We ' ve had a few orgies in our time, but Bob ' s takes the cake. Yes, there were some strange people at that party. Can you think of anyone who would come to a party in a dark blue costume with a little silver star on his lapel. Perhaps Bob will be better remembered, though, for his football managing. Who else could have pulled us through a fine winning season without once losing the soap? Bob is president of the I.B.F.M. (International Brotherhood of Football Managers) which he rules with an iron hand. 33 CHARLES ROBERT HUTTON Track 6; Paper Staff 6; National Honor Society 5, 6. Dimples, the Fireball Roberts of M.U.S., is destined to inherit his father ' s automobile empire. We can see him thirty years from now selling well-used and almost rebuilt Dodges to sharecroppers. We can also see him with Wanda and fifteen kids. The metropolis of Tunica, Mississippi, must hold some strange attraction for Chuck; when he isn ' t in Dee ' s basement, he ' s driving between Memphis and Tunica. Charlie won Biggest Goldbricker this year, but Chuck ' s un- official contest with Charlie for Least Often Seen in English Class is really close. RODNEY LEE JAMES 6; Library Com- Tennis 5, 6; Swimming 5, 6; Pep Club 5, mittee 4, 5; Office Staff 5, 6. Some of the seventh graders have begun to ask who that strange man with a beard is in their math class. Well that ' s Rod. Rod ' s made quite a name for himself here at M.U.S. Who can forget that Blue Bomb (as much as we all try)? Rod will always be remembered as the first to go back for seconds of Sudie ' s delicious ravioli, spaghetti, tuna fish, or chicken stew. Due to his famous love life, gourmet appetite, and his car, Rod was unanimously named as M.U.S. ' s own Agent 000. 34 JAMES WILLIAM JETTON Honor Council President 6; Student Council Secretary 5; Football 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; Captain 6, All-County 6; Paper Staff 3, 5; Annual Staff 5; Lettermans ' Club 3, 4, 5, 6; Red Cross 2, 3, 4; March of Dimes 3, 4, 5, 6; Engineers Club 3, 4; Photography Club 3; Social Committee 1, 2. Jumbo Jimbo is a schizophrenic. One day he ' s a ferocious football player; the next, he ' s playing Dean Martin and chas- ing the girls. Jim is honest (or at least we think he is). Jim hopes to go to the University of Arkansas, because he says that that ' s the college best suited to his personality. He especially likes the way students are called to class — Soo Pig Sooie, Sooie. LOUIS MILLER JOHNSON Football 2, 3; Swimming 5, 6; Golf 4; Tennis 5, 6; Annual Staff 6; Paper Staff 6; National Honor Society 5, 6; Elec- tronics Club 4; Pep Club 6; Engineering Club 5. Ever since Mr. Edwards left M.U.S. Louis has been lost. He can be seen wandering about the halls with a blank look on his face. Anybody who gets into a discussion with him will more than likely be left in infinity, trying to find his way back to reality. Once we asked Louis what his am- bition was. He told us that he wanted to be a professional bowler with a little pure research on the side. We suspect, though, that he ' s more likely to become a professional side- walk surfer -iSr JAMES JEFFERY KEIRNS Honor Council 1; Basketball Statistician 5, 6; Football Sta- tistician 6; Annual Staff 5, 6; Assistant Editor 6; Dramatics Club 4; Photography Club 5, 6; Pep Club 6; Latin Aivard 2; Poetry Aivard 5; History Aivard 5; Most Intellectual 6; National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist 6. Most classes have their brains, but not many have a Keirns. Who else could make college board scores of 800, 796, 775, etc.? But Jim does have his wild side. How about those Bartlett girls he dates? Jim is also well known for the gatherings at his house: after-the-dance breakfasts, Senior parties, and Annual meetings. I guess the reason Shearon always insists on meeting at Jim ' s house is his love of statuary. STEPHEN WALTER KELTNER Track 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Captain 6; Cross-Country 6, Captain 6; Lettermens Club 4, 5, 6; Paper Staff 4, 5; Annual Staff 5, 6; Hunting and Fishing Club 5; Fourth in Slate High Hurdles 5. Steve, the class of 65 ' s answer to Pierce Jones, is known for the questionable logic of his nutritional theories. When asked how he would digest a pre-meet meal of catsup, onion rings, salad, garlic dressing, and Coke, he said, I don ' t care about digesting it, I just want to get the energy out of it. Steve sees himself as Ralph Boston, but we see him as Wilma Rudolph. If you ever need a date, just talk to Steve. He ' ll fix you up with one of the Bartlett girls. 35 WILLIAM POSTON KENWORTHY Paper Staff 6; Biology Club 4, 5; Engineer ' s Club 5; Pep Club 6; National Merit Scholarship Semi finalist. One of the many former Spartans at M.U.S., Ken has really made his mark here — an X. Ken seems to have it upstairs, but nobody would know it. Who else could score 142 on the National Merit tests, score in the six hundreds on the college boards and fail everything. After giving French the old school try, Ken deserted for more fertile fields. It ' s not Ken ' s fault he doesn ' t do well in school, he has other things on his mind (Sherrie). HENRY ARNOLD KLYCE JR. Football 2, 3; Track 3, 6; Annual Staff 6; Paper Staff 5, 6; Fine Arts Club 3; Folksinging 3, 4; Pep Club 5, 6; National Honor Society 5. It ' s three in the morning at Tom Shearon ' s house; the phone rings. Tom gropes for the phone and sleepily answers. It ' s Henry ' s mo ther. Hello, have you seen Henry? I haven ' t seen him for three days. No, Mrs. Klyce, I think he went to Sewanee for the weekend. Well, Henry ' s not doing as well at school as he might; after all, who can skip exams to play polo and still pass. Henry is the only Senior we know who drove for two years without a license. Well, maybe getting a license is bad luck; he had about five wrecks right after getting his license. 36 RAYMOND HENRY LARSON JR. Student Council 4, 6 (vi -president) ; Social Committee 4; Folk singing 5, 6; Pep ' Club 5, 6; Engineering Club 5; Lettermans Club 4, 5, 6; Debating Team 5; Hunting and Fishing Club 5; Football 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; Basketball 2, 3, 4, 5; Track 2, 3; Paper Staff 6; March of Dimes 4; Best Dressed 6. Ray is M.U.S. ' s authority on beards a nd beard growing, since he has been shaving since the sixth grade. He returned from Europe last summer with a full beard, but for some reason Col. Lynn didn ' t like it, and he had to shave it off. Ray seems to have only platonic relationships with the girls; now maybe one can see why we call him Lunkhead. But Ray says he cares more about his clothes than any old girl. Everyone eagerly awaits the day when Ray gets up to give one of his epic chapel announcements. JAMES WILSON LAWSON JR. Social Committee 5, 6; Football 2, 4, 5, 6; B-team Basketball 4, 5; Paper Staff 5, 6; Lettermans Club 4, 5, 6; Sportsman ' s Club 5, 6; Red Cross 4, 5, 6; Pep Club 5. Jim is the heir apparent to those delicious Tops Barbecues. He ' s also famous for his nights out with the boys (and girls). Jim is a weight conscious boy; remember the scales he brought (?) with him to Destin. Jim is a lady ' s man and all the Lausanne boarders love him. So do the Lausanne faculty, the girls mothers, and the Lausanne bus driver. Most boys get their teeth knocked out in football by not wearing a mouth-piece, but not Jim. All he wants for Christmas is his two front teeth. JAMES JOHNSON LEACH Football 2, 3, 6; Track 3, 6; Paper Staff 3; Latin Club 3, 4; Key Club 4; Pep Club 6. Batman found that the land of opportunity just couldn ' t compare with the Volunteer State, so he drives 218.73 miles, in his TR4, every day, just to quench his intellectual curios- ity. He went out for football this year, but for softie reason he told his parents he was going out for the tennis squad. Nobody will ever forget the game when Jim ' s goggles fogged over, and he tackled the down marker instead of the runner. FREDERICK CAREY LOVITT Transferred from Battle Ground Academy 6. Freddy, Mouse ' s brother-in-law, has often been called the William Jennings Bryan of the speech class. Yes, he ' s always well prepared and one of the first to volunteer to give his speech. Freddy puts his greatest effort, though, into study hall skipping. It isn ' t that he ' s so agile, but he is persistent. Who else would get caught skipping study hall every day for two weeks and still keep it up. We do hope Freddy improves his grades before the annual comes out, because, otherwise, he might be drafted. 37 GEORGE ECKERT MALONE Track 2, 6; Cross Country 2, 3, 6; Paper Staff 5; Annual Staff 6; Office Staff 4, 5; Photography Club 4, 5. Judo George is perhaps the class ' s most constant lover. He has been going with Debby for over three years, even though they have had their ups and downs (including one troublesome junior). George has always been a photography bug, and this year he was finally cornered for taking pic- tures for the annual. As a result, he can usually be seen wandering about with a camera in his hands muttering about annual editors who pester him for pictures. CARL DAVID MARSH Football 1, 2, 4, 6; Paper Staff 4, 6; Hunting and Fishing Club 5; Astronomy Club 4; Library Committee 4, 5, 6. Say it aloud — Marsh — listen to the onomatopoeia. Pretty, isn ' t it? So is Dave. Dave is famous for his highly developed wit. Another of Dave ' s claims to fame is his football. It ' s a little rubber one that he got for Christmas in 1958. (Thought we were going to say you were a football star, Huh Dave). Perhaps Dave ' s best known, though, for his early morning wrecks in his M.G.s which are a constant source of amusement to himself and to Foxie. 38 LEWIS KAVANAUGH McKEE Annual, business manager 6; Paper Staff, column writer 6; Lettermans ' Club 4, 5, 6; Hunting and Fishing Club 5; Debating 4; March of Dimes 4; Magazine Drive Chairman 5; Football 3, 4, 5, 6, All-County 6, Second Team All-State 6. Trader Mac is really the spirit of Daniel Boone returned. He spends most time hunting than in school. But Mac also likes those Lausanne girls, so he manages to take a lot of hunting trips in the woods near Lausanne. When Mac ' s not out shooting squirrels, rabbits, or elephants, he sneaks in a football game or two. Mac attributes his football prowess to having Sudie ' s steakburgers twice a week for the last six years. RICHARD ALVAH MILLER JR. Football 2; Cross Country 5, 6; Track 5, 6; Paper Staff 3, 4, 5; Annual Staff 6; March of Dimes 4, 5, 6; Pep Club 5, 6; Library Staff 3; MUS Folksingers 5, 6; Dramatics Club 4, 5; Lettermans Club 4, 5; Red Cross 6. Rick, alias Cyrano de Bergerac, is a great track star. As a junior, he got his letter and ran on the champ 440 team. But this year, Rick decided he wouldn ' t go out. Maybe he wants to spend more time chasing those East High girls. Cool, calm, and collected Rick is famous for his ability to keep his girls in line, and he never gets shook when one gives him some trouble. But Rick ' s life is not all bad, for who else would get a new LeMans just to take his sister to school each day. tg a r WILLIAM PINCKNEY MILLER Pep C lub, Secretary 6; Football 1, 2, 3; Golf 2, 3, 4, 6; Paper Staff, Sports Editor 6; Future Physicians Club 4, 5; National Honor Society 6; Most Likely To Succeed 6. Bill is an ex-Spartan who has become a true-blue M.U.S. supporter. Last summer on the ship to Europe, he made many new friends, mostly Vassar girls and grubby engine room sailors. Yes, he and Lunkhead were the champs of the Milk Bar. At mail call, he only received three times as much as anyone else. Being Most Likely to Succeed, we picture him ten years from now as director of Mayo ' s Clinic and married to who else? We leave Bill saying, Hey, fellows, you ain ' t gonna believe this, but . . . STEVE CLINTON MINKIN Honor Council, Secretary 6; Football 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; All County Honorable Mention 5; Track 2; Pep Club 6; Hunting And Fishing Club 5; Debating Club 4; Future Physicians Club 5; Annual Staff 6; Lettermans Club 5, 6; March of Dimes 6; Creative Writing Club 6. I. B. is our class clown. Who else would tell such funny, funny jokes or give us his deep philosophical Minkinisms. Steve is a strict disciplinarian and seldom cuts up in class (sure! remember the six weeks he racked up 71 D ' s?). He does have his problems with the women, though, tough luck; I guess they just don ' t go for the Primitive in man. If you are looking for Steve, you can find him either in Mr. Strand ' s office or in some cave or hole in the grou nd. 39 CHARLES WINSTON MOORE III Varsity Basketball Manager 5, 6; Varsity Track Team Man- ager 5, 6; Annual Staff 5; Paper Staff 4, 5, 6; Photography Co-Editor 6; Fine Arts Club 5; Dramatics Club 4, 5, 6, March of Dimes 4, Library 4, Folk Singing Club, 5, Letter- man s Club 5, 6, Dramatics Club 5. During his six years at M.U.S. Seymour has gradually built up a reputation as the most dependable and by far the most orthodox boy in the class. Charlie was a hermit until the spring of ' 64 when he met Jan. We all remember the Symphony No. 3 in B-flat major, to Jan . Charlie got Biggest Goldbrick by a landslide which we can ' t understand, since he ' s always in class (especially Phys. Ed.) and never lets you down. Charlie leaves us saying Zilch. MICHAEL SEARS MORGAN Transferred from Lewiston Porter High School 5; Cross Country 3, 4; Soccer 5; Paper Staff, Associate Editor 6; Student Council 1, 2, 3; German Club 4, 5; National Honor Society 5, 6; National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist 6. Mike came to us last year from the hamlet of Lewiston, N. Y. (it ' s perched somewhere behind Niagara Falls) and became a mainstay of a newspaper desperate for people. As second in command to Amen-Ra, Mike wields almost absolute authority over the newspaper peons. He ' s also the paper ' s special emissary to the Tri-State Press, and he manages to dodge classes by making trips downtown at an average of almost four times a week. Amen-Ra has shown his complete faith in Mike by granting him complete sovereignty over the sports page, the only bit of power the sun god has ever allowed to slip through his fingers. 40 JOSEPH EARL NICHOLS Football 3, 4, 5, 6; Track 3; Biology Club 4; Latin Club 3. You can tell Joe ' s a winner by looking at his car, a white Edsel. When Joe found that they were going to stop making Edsels, he figured that he ' d better get one quick while he still had the chance. Another member of the lunchroom pool sharks, Joe is perhaps the most inventive. Who else would think of using tar as a tip for a pool cue or think of smashing a hollow cardboard tube into the wall to make it sound like an exploding bomb. JOHN ADDISON NICKEY Football 2; Basketball 2, 3; Golf 3, 4, 5, 6; School Champion 4; Annual Staff 6; Pep Club 5, 6; National Honor Society 5, 6; Lettermens Club 4, 5, 6. Every class has its all ' round athlete; but it looks like we lost out this year. Of course, we do have John, our golfer, pool shark, and pingponger extraordinaire. We also figure that if John were just a little heavier he could have been our star varsity quarterback, but, as it is, he ' s wasting his talent in phys. ed. He has come out of seclusion a couple of times, though, and his strong passing arm was the center of the Senior Fenderbenders offense, but he ' s decided to turn down offers to go Pro, and he ' ll have to make his name in golf. MICHAEL JOSEPH PEREL Cross Country 2; Paper Staff 4; Annual Staff 6; Engineer- ing Club 4; Future Physicians Club 5; Fine Arts Club 5; Pep Club 6. We suspect that Mike has a split personality. Although he ' s very quiet at school, (in six years we ' ve only heard his voice once or twice) he must really break out on week- ends. We can just see him rocking out at Little Abner ' s Pool Room or Hernando ' s Hideaway. Mike ' s real talent, though, is pool. Any spare moment, he can be found in the Commons Room demolishing all challengers. However, seniors take hope, he does have a bad game now and then, and it is even rumored that he has lost a game of nine ball to Charlie Moore. COOPER Y ERGER ROBINSON Sivimming 5; Tennis 6; Annual Staff 6; Pep Club 5, 6; Hunting and Fishing Club 5. Cooper is definitely the most conservative boy in the school as reflected by his actions, cars, and girls. Yes, Calm Cooper never gets the least bit excited by anything. Cooper ' s cars are a constant source of amazement. He ' s had only about four or five different ones in the past year, and each has become the pride and joy of the Memphis Auto Inspection Center. When Cooper, Dee, Chuck, and Bill aren ' t driving around in Northern Mississippi, then they can be found at the Red Barn. 41 STEPHEN CORTIS SCHADT Football 2; Swimming 5; Tennis 6; Club 4. Fine Arts 5; Spanish Little Stevie Wonder, the 300 pound blob, is the backbone of the MUS swimming team and the Fine Arts Club. One of Senor Blair ' s favorites, he was deeply saddened by the departure. During the weekend, if Steve isn ' t out with Thompson and Jim, then he ' s writing letters to Charles Atlas. If Steve had only gotten on the ballot he would have undoubtedly won Most-Outstanding Cheerleader. His beauti- ful legs would have cinched it. PETER JOHN SCHELHORN Transferred from Savannah High School 6; Cross Country 6; Annual Staff 5, 6; Dramatics Club 3, 4; Chess Team 2, 3, 4, 6; Debating Club 6; Band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Pete, the Savannah Savant, is the world ' s greatest authority on everything. Before graduation we expect him to be in charge of the math and phys. ed. departments. Pete shows what guts and determination can do in Cross country; he overcomes having two left feet to represent the school in various meets. Besides his chess playing, Pete is famous for his white Mustang with the rose on the antenna, and for his ability to play a harmonica one-handed while driving. 42 THOMAS HARSH SHEARON Basketball 2; Cross Country 2, 3; Track 2, 3, 5, 6; Paper Staff 1, 2, 3, 4; Annual Staff 5, 6; Art Editor 5, Features Editor 6; Library 1, 2; Lettermans Club 4, 5, 6; Most Talented 6. Tom is the most talented boy in our class. Talented at what, we don ' t know. Some say his ability lies in painting schools; others claim its in gathering names for his little black book. Tom sure is lucky; he works for Ma Solden and he gets his delicious lunches free. Any cold night, Tom can be found trying to hose down a flat stretch of concrete in the hope that it will freeze. When hockey season starts, Tom loses interest in everything else, yes, even girls. DONALD FREDERIC SLOANE Transferred from Mt. Lebanon High School 6; Vice-Pres. of Home Room 5; Pres. of Chess Club 5; first board of chess team 5; Tennis team 4, 5; Neivs Paper Staff 6; Pep Club 6. Hay youse guys, unless you consider the gross national product, you don ' t know what you ' re talking about. Well Sloane ' s discussions, or better still, diatribes in defense of Humphrey, Keating, and Mao Tse Tung are a constant source of entertainment. To listen to him you would think that all we have to do is dump the bomb into the Pacific Ocean and the world would become a Utopia. Don ' s heroic chess battles with Shelhorn during lunch period are becoming legend. But Don is best remembered for his announcing of the Homecoming Game. We all remember First down and a meager 25 yards and Somebody was just tackled by everybody. v.- ROWLETT WILSON SNEED Track 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Captain 6; Cross-Country 5, 6, Captain 6; Paper Staff 5, 6; Annual Staff 5, 6, Photography Editor 6; Photography Club 4, 5; Hunting and Fishing Club 4, 5; March of Dimes 4, 5, 6; Lettermens Club 4, 5, 6. Sneaky Snooky Sneed is Coach Peters ' pride and joy. Wilson must have a pretty wild night life and stay out of shape because of his violent physical reactions at track practice. His house and pool are a home away from home for anyone, anytime. Yes, you are likely to find someone in his back yard at 3 a.m. In addition, Snook and Wilma belong to that strange species known as fishermen. His expenses in this sport along with track shoes, dextrose, and sugar pills are almost equal to the gross national product. JOHN BREN NEMAN STITT Transferred from Bartlett High 5, Student Council 4; En- gineers Club 5; Folk Singing Club 5; Key Club 3, 4; Latin Club 3, 4; Basketball 1,2,3; Track 3; Football 3, 4, 6. Let ' s give fifteen interesting and informative rahs for that quick, snappy idea. Yes, John is famous for his bril- liant characterization of Col. Lynn in Casey ' s skit and for those Corn Chex ads in speech class. Public Speaking does seem to be his talent, but he sees himself rather as a star football player. Unfortunately Coach Rudolph doesn ' t seem to agree. We suspect that Coach included John on the team to push up the weight average of the line. John does have his uses though; all you have to do to kill the other team ' s quarterback is to get him to sit still and then have John fall on him. 43 3: Tap - THOMAS ALVA THOMPSON Social Committee 2; Football 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; Basketball 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; Track 3; March of Dimes 5; Lettermens Club 4, 5, 6; Hunting and Fishing Club 5; Wittiest 6. Tommy, for some strange reason, was chosen the wittiest member of our class. But when Tommy ' s not being witty, he occasionally sneaks in a basketball game or two. Yes, Tom is world famous for his basketball prowess, but he says he would rather spend his time with Stevie. Tom releases his pent up emotions through his wild dancing that looks like a mixture of the Watusi and the Maumau Stomp, with a little Arkansas Twist every now and then. We leave Tommy still telling jokes at lunch. FREDERICK NICHOLAS TOMA Track 6; Cross-country 6; Basketball 2; Annual Staff 5; Pep Club 5, 6; Dramatics Club 4, 5; Fine Arts Club 5. Fred, our representative from Bartlett never ceases to amaze us with his stories of Bartlett girls. However, a cer- tain junior from Hutch High seems to have captured his heart, and it looks as though Fred will have to settle down. Fred has become famous in his years at M.U.S. for his run- ning battle with Mr. Morelock. He thinks he has found a solution to the problem, however. Now, he merely takes a long time getting dressed after Phys. Ed. which makes him late to French class so that he gets locked out of the room and doesn ' t have to go to class. 44 ALBERT ALEXANDER VARNER Honor Council 4, 5, 6, Vice-Pres. 6; Pep Club, Pres. 5, 6; Basketball 3, 4, 5; Tennis 3, 4, 5, 6, Captain 5; Paper 3, 4, 5, 6, Sports Ed. 5, Editor-in-Chief, 6; Annual 4, 5; Letter- men ' s Club 3, 4, 5, 6; Dramatics Club 4; Charles Miller Owen Science Award 5; Ada Norfleet Fuller Scholarship Award 3, 4; National Honor Society 5, 6; National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist 6; Most Intelligent 6. Amen-Ra, the most perfect sun god, is always ready with a bit of constructive (?) criticism for his friends. Al is noted for his Chapel announcements which are always brief, concise, and to the point. This year ' s paper, under Al ' s direction, is noted for its fascinating innovations; who can forget that wonderful Half and Half column? Too bad Al ' s achievements left so little room for this biography. WILLIAM BOWEN WALTON Transferred from White Station High School 5; Pep Club, Chairman of Cheerleader Committee 6; Red Cross 6; March of Dimes 6; Hunting and Fishing Club 5. Bill is one of the few seniors brave enough (or crazy enough) to have a party at his home for his calm and orderly classmates. But Bill ' s reputation really rests on his phys. ed. prowess. Recognizing everyone else ' s lack of ability, Bill willingly takes on the responsibility of replacing the entire volleyball team and scoring all the goals in basket- ball. As chairman of the Cheerleader Committee of the Pep Club, Bill ' s been kind of flaking out. Could it be he ' s trying to reserve all the cheerleaders for himself? PETER FRANK WHITINGTON March of Dimes 5, 6, Chairman 6; Red Cross 4; Football 2, 3, 4, 5; Basketball 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; Track 2, 3, 6; Paper Staff 6; Pep Club 6; Lettermens Club 4, 5, 6; Library Staff 4. Pete, the editor of Believe It or Not (and we ' d rather not) will never cease to amaze us with his wild tales. Everyone remembers the day when Pete was chased by 13,843 wild Indians riding pink elephants or the time he was going to take Luci Johnson out, but had to break the date. Coach Rudolph, Pete ' s favorite teacher, says Pete can always be depended on. Pete ' s leadership ability is reflected in his high office as president of the Make New Students Feel at Home Club. THOMAS CURTIS WOODS Red Cross 5, 6; Football 5, 6; All-County 6; Track 5, 6; Paper Staff 6; National Honor Society 5, 6, President 6; March of Dimes 4, 5, 6; Pep Club 5, 6; Lettermens Club 5, 6. T. C. Woods is an all around cool guy. Who else but Tom would go with a girl, and, just to prove his love, roll her house once a week? Nothing stops this boy from football, though. All the coaches feared he had a heart murmur, but it turned out to be only love pangs. Tom ' s really had his luck with cars, too. His beautiful black bomb, a phantom of the open road, finally broke down, and he got a baby blue something with a real neat set of custom spinners. 45 ' y , It ' s a long run from Collierville to Owlsville CANDID Seniors So then Louie drew to a double inside straight . .

Honor Council The Honor System is a form of student self-govern- ment which, assuming that every student is a man of absolute truthfulness and honesty, takes immediate cognizance of all violations of an accepted code of honor. The self-government is provided by the Honor Council, the student organization endowed with the responsibility of maintaining and preserving the spirit of the Honor System. This System prohibits lying, cheating, and stealing, but in a much larger sense promotes a truthfulness and honor between men which will be of invaluable assistance in later life. That the Honor System may be a working reality and not as it so often is, a mere pretense, it is essential that the whole student body be organized to enforce it, and that it accept, willingly and courageously, its heavy responsibilities. A few concrete examples of the operation of the Honor System at M.U.S. will supplement and clarify the principles stated. Classrooms are free from teacher supervision. The professor often leaves an examination room in the full confidence that there will be no cheating. This trust applies not only to examinations but also to daily recitations, and outside written work. 94 (I. to r.) Advisor — Mr. Howells, President — Jetton, Advisor — Mr. Peters A visitor to the school can often see books and per- sonal items lying about the campus or building left by students who knew that the property would be there when they returned. In all varsity dressing ' • rooms the locked locker is an item unheard of. A student or teacher can be sure that his equipment will always be there when he wants it. Often unlocked collection boxes are set up around the building in full confidence that no money will be taken. The Honor Council acts as an impartial court but not as a police force; that is, it does not try to dis- cover violations of the Honor System but does not shrink from the responsibility of hearing cases when necessary. The members of the Honor Council are representa- tives of each grade chosen by their classmates as ex- hibiting qualities of intelligence, honor, and impar- tiality. Since the days of the old M.U.S. in 1893, the Honor System and the Honor Council have been an inherent part of the school and we sincerely hope and believe that they will continue to be. o Student Council The Student Council at M.U.S. plays an impor- tant role in the co-ordination and control of student affairs. The purpose of the Student Council is to serve as a liaison between the student body and the faculty. Its duties are to transmit student opin- ion to the Headmaster and faculty and to interpret the opinions of the faculty to the students, to safe- guard the traditions and customs of the school, to represent the students on public occasions and in every way possible promote school spirit and fur- ther the welfare of Memphis University School. One of the primary purposes of the Student Council at M.U.S. is to help build strong feelings of loyalty toward the school in the heart of every stu- dent. The Council represents every student, and in addition to loyalty, tries to encourage initiative and originality. It provides an arena in which students may face problems, and gain experience in their efforts to solve them. It endeavors to develop desir- able attitudes and practices of good citizenship. 96 Standing: O ' Neal, Allen, Ferguson, Roop. Seated: Sprunt, Adams, Bowlin, Larson, Wunderhch. New students are informed about the work of the Council in a hope to enlist their interest and sup- port. Students and faculty cooperate with the Council in various projects and thus natural divisions be- tween the two groups tend to disappear. While there are few areas which are the full re- sponsibility of the council, there are many in which the Council, the student body, and the faculty can work together. The Student Council at M.U.S. is a cooperative vehicle involved in working for the best interests of the school. Vice President, Larson; advisor, Mr. Chandler; president, Fer- guson; advisor, Mr. Everett. National Honor Society This year a record number of students have at- tained membership. In the November induction cere- mony, fourteen Juniors and six Seniors joined the eight Seniors who were inducted last year. These students carry on the tradition that has existed at M.U.S. for nine years. Members of the National Honor Society must ex- hibit excellence in every field of endeavor. The four main fields are represented on the emblem of the society, which displays a keystone and a flaming torch. The member is expected first to excel in scholarship. This excellence of scholarship is the prime requisite of the Society. The member must achieve and maintain an overall average of 85. The second quality indicated on the keystone is Charac- ter. A person has a good, strong character through will power. Character is our guiding force through life and it is a strong, well directed character which gives greatness to men. The third quality is Leader- ship. Leadership is not just an outgrowth of a vig- orous personality. In its highest sense it proceeds from unselfish motives and from a strong character. A strong and at the same time humble character is necessary in the leaders of tomorrow. Scholarship, Back Row: Booth, Klyce, Moore, Keirns, Perel, Varner, Allen. Front Row: Bowlin, Nickey, Johnson, Woods, Hutton, Morgan, Miller. 98 Character, and Leadership would be incomplete without Service. To attain the fullest life one cannot live for himself alone. It is in serving the com- munity and the world that the greatest expression of character and individuality is achieved. In a leader there is no place for greed, self-interest, or selfish ambition. By encouraging these ideals the National Honor Society hopes to help develop strong, well educated leaders who still rise above the times and earnestly serve in tomorrow ' s world.

The or- ganization is in charge of the school dances and other social activities. The committee worked very hard this year decorating, finding a band, and se- curing arrangements for the parties. The first endeavor of the committee was the Homecoming Week End. Charmian Place was crowned Homecoming Queen at the half time of Friday night ' s game, and everyone met in Chick- asaw Gardens afterwards for a street dance. With radio music and with the Memphis Police Depart- ment supplying the chaperones, everyone seemed to enjoy the dance. On Saturday night Queen Advisors: Mr. Thorn, Mr. Lawo, President Bowlin. 100 J ., fj- as Charmain ruled over the festivities. The Radiants played and the week-end ended with a bang. The Mid-Winter Formal was next and this was considered by many to be the best M.U.S. party ever- The Playboy Clubs of America furnished the decorations as Clack Dining Hall was trans- formed into a Playboy Club complete with bun- nies, keys, and 100 key holders and their dates. A very exciting exhibition of the newest dance, The gaitor, was given by several of the more uninhibited members of the class. As the annual goes to print, the Junior class is frantically making plans for a great Junior-Senior Prom. 101 [j Annual Staff It ' s a cold rainy afternoon and Keirns treks through the mud and enters the rear of the chapel. Fumbling through the curtains he goes into a small room behind the stage. He finds Allen sitting in a chair, staring out into space. What took you so long? says Allen. Well, answered Keirns, it ' s a long story. On the way here I was stopped in the hall three times by Mr. Howells, once by Mr. Henderson and twice by Mr. Per- due. Then Mr. MacQueen pulled me into the office and I spent an hour explaining to him that I really had gotten permission for Moore to work on the annual. Do you realize says Allen that we still have 105 pages to do and the deadline is in two days? Oh, that ' s not so bad. All we have to do is get Bowlin to write a six page basketball article sixth pe- riod, get Shearon to start on the class history, get Mil- ler to finish the biographies, lay out 83 pages and then we ' ll be ready to type. That ' s what you think. Mr. MacQueen just handed me the fifty pages we gave him to approve. He said that at least ten were acceptable. Also Mr. Morelock gave me thirteen pictures to recrop. Oh that ' s all. I talked to Mr. Sipe yesterday. He says that he left the door of his studio unlocked and someone stole most of the underclassman pictures. He said he ' d leave the door open so we could come in and get the rest of the pictures tonight. Well, you can get those and I ' ll stop by Ray ' s to get last year ' s track pictures. Then we .can work at your house until three. 102 Annual editors, left to right: Bowlin, McKee, Sneed, Keirns, Allen, Miller, Shearon, Johnson (not pictured). 103 Front Row: Shelton, Halperin, Hill, Fullmer, Sloan, Jordan, Romeiser, Gillespie, Klyce, Jemison On steps, I. to r.: Smith, Johnson, Mosko- vitz, Cannon, Caradine, Brown, Stratton, Klyce, Floyd, Whitington, Woods, Greeson, McKee, Neill, Larson, Heller, Kenworthy, Myar, C.

Led by Editor-in-Chief Al Vainer, ' 65, the staff has engaged the Annual in spirited but friendly com- petition for the best writers and photographers in the student body, and for the best room in which to work. Comprising Al ' s group of assistants were several members of the fourth, fifth, and sixth forms, headed by Associate-Editor Mike Morgan. Besides editing the feature page of the Oivl ' s Hoot, Mike, a newcomer from the North last year, performed numerous odd and minor tasks, known as Varner ' s dirty work. News Editor was Franklin Anderson, ' 66, who is also ru- mored to have the inside track for ' 66- ' 67 editorship. In charge of the sports page was William P. Miller, ' 65, whose ingenuity in makeup provided an attrac- tive page four in each issue. Stephen Crump, ' 66, or- ganized and ran a large staff of typists and was one of several cartoonists contributing to the editorial page. Taking care of the monumental task of mailing sev- eral hundred papers to alumni and many schools in the Mid-South was Circulation Editor Randall Moskovitz, ' 67. Providing a multitude of pictures were Photog- raphy Co-Editors Richard Sneed, ' 66, and Charles Moore, ' 65, and a gracious Annual editor. This year the Owl ' s Hoot staff increased the yearly 104 Editorial Staff, 1. to r.: Crump, Anderson, Morgan, Miller, Varner, Moore. production to five issues and introduced several new features into the newspaper. Among these were the Galloping Poll of student faculty opinions on school issues, and Letters to the Editor, which were received quite enthusiastically. Another new feature was a thinking man ' s column, the editor ' s brainchild, known as Half and Half Again. Unfortunately, most students couldn ' t get past the title, let alone Al ' s pro- vocative essays on philosophy. Faculty advisor to the newspaper was Mr. William Hatchett, whose censorship was sometimes beneficial, but, sadly, never appreciated. Occasionally he also contributed a short editorial on the abominable Senior conduct. 105 wtl ' t niHr Front Row: Larson, Jetton, Petty, Smith, Miller, Caradine, Minkin, King, Johnston, Mann, Fitzhugh, McBurney, Kenworthy, Dollahite.

Pep Club Since its founding last year, the Pep Club has become one of the most popular and efficient or- ganizations at M.U.S. The group is in charge of promoting school spirit and interest in every phase of school life, and it has done a remarkable job in every way. Headed by president Al Varner, vice-president Stephen Crump, secretary Bill Miller, and treas- urer Andy Allen, the club meets on Thursday after- noon to plan activities for the following week. These activities range from taking care of Tayra, the owl, to sponsoring pep rallies and dances and putting on faculty-student football games. In the organization of the club are several committees which are in charge of cheerleaders, transporta- tion, seating at athletic contests, posters, and dec- orating goal posts, or in the case of basketball, making signs for the gym. These committees have their own chairmen, who are responsible for the committee ' s duties. These chairmen are, in turn, responsible to the club ' s officers. Thus the club gets more people working and more division of 106 responsibility which tends, in itself, to promote school spirit. The functions of the Pep Club are almost too numerous to mention. Besides the ones already named, it puts on bonfires and skits before im- portant football and basketball games, and makes certain that the entire school is encouraged to sup- port not only the M.U.S. athletic teams including golf, tennis, track and swimming, but all school functions such as charity drives and money-rais- ing projects. The club also initiates special activ- ities such as caravans to the games and excur- sions to White Station. The Pep Club can be commended for doing an outstanding job. Before its existence, school activi- ties had little organization and school spirit was not actively encouraged. Now, the student body is always well informed about school and is offered many opportunities to express their enthusiasm and interest.

With Tim Whitington, ' 66, as president, the club has met twice a week and many soul- stirring matches have been hard fought. The chess club project has been the or- ganization of a city-wide tournament and plans for this are rapidly solidify- ing. Standing: Perel, Dando, Warren, Mr. Everett, Moore, Schelhorn, Keirns.

MARCH OF DIMES a gt Qt jSftggg 1 The March of Dimes drive at M.U.S. this year was much more successful than in previous years. It was under the direction of Pete Whitington, chair- man, and Bill Miller, co-chairman. An amazing 128 people, constituting 41% of the M.U.S. student hody, showed up on January 23 to collect money for this worthy cause. These people worked in a downtown district and collected $208.13 which was more than twice the goal set for M.U.S. by the National Foundation. Jack Roberts of the fifth form, collected $13.52 and was our high man for this year. RED CROSS Under the direction of Phillip Floyd and Mr. David Smith, the school has completed its first successful Red Cross drive in its history. From a mere thirteen dollars total collection last year, the contributions this year rose to one hundred fifty-eight dollars and seventy-eight cents.

PEP BAND This year, for the first time the school had its own Pep Band. Henry and the Hootowls made their debut on the Friday before the Whitehaven football game. By singing songs such as Ding-a-tiger, the Hootowls try to build up the school spirit with their witty antics and skits. Bowlin, Miller, Doggrell, Gordan, Crump, Shearon, B. Klyce, H.

Sullivan, the club meets every Monday morning during the school day. A chief purpose of the club is to teach its members the proper use of the two school telescopes. In addition to the regular meetings, the club often assembles for lectures and special evening viewing sessions.

Composed of Seventh grade boys, it has been practicing three times a week. The choir made its public debut in De- cember when it presented several songs during a chapel program. LIBRAR Y COMMITTEE With the growth of our li- brary, the responsibility of the library committee has also grown. These boys volunteer their otherwise free time for the benefit of other students. They act as proctors, make sug- gestions for improvements, and aid Mr. Campbell in any way possible. The library commit- tee helps afay student find in- formation in the library to make sure that each person re- ceives the greatest benefit from the time he spends there.

Great things were expected of this team. There were six all-county players returning, nine out of eleven starters from the previous year, and this was the largest team ever at M.U.S. averaging 185 pounds in the line and 175 pounds in the backfield. After posing for a Commercial Appeal picture, the team left for a dreaded week of camp at Horseshoe Lake. Everyone worked hard, and it was hot, but there was time for fun also. The seniors ruled the camp, and for the first time a formal initiation was held for the sophomores. The entire camp was spent preparing for the opener with Whitehaven. But things started to go wrong. The team lost three boys Coach was counting on, but added one in Dee Cannon, who was to prove very valuable. The news that all-county quarterback Buddy Lawhorn had transferred to Whitehaven wasn ' t very encouraging. Amidst wild pep rallies and a home crowd of 3000 fans, the team was supposedly ready for their Sep- tember 13 opener (Friday the thirteenth) against the Tigers. Whitehaven was ranked in the state, they were picked to repeat as league champs, and they had al- ready played one tough game. The Owls put up a good fight, but two long touchdown runs by Law- horn downed M.U.S. 13-0. Westwood was next on the schedule, and they were doomed from the start. Last year ' s football and bas- ketball defeats had to be avenged, and the team had to prove itself to the fans. During the week of the game, Coach Rudolph was worried about the team ' s lack of spirit and hustle, but after the game there was plenty of blood on the saddle for the cowboys as the Owls rolled to a 38-7 win. After laying off a week the Owls easily disposed of Hillcrest 25-0. But Bobby McBurney was injured and he was unable to play in the Germantown game. Germantown had never beaten M.U.S. in football, and it was rumored that they were really up for the game. But the Owls crushed Germantown 35-6 and came back the next week to defeat Oakhaven by the same score. For the first time M.U.S. defeated Millington at Millington. It was their homecoming and the Owls helped crown the queen by knocking a Mill- ington player into her throne and smashing her team 20-6. M.U.S. had beaten Bartlett only once in the last six years, and a win would place M.U.S. higher in league standings than ever before. The entire week ' s practices were short because of semester exams. A sluggish first half left the Owls behind 14-0. The team expected a stern lecture at halftime, but instead, Coach Rudolph told them to take it easy, and then go out and get ' em. That was exactly what they did as the Owls scored three times in the second half and won 21-14. It was an ecstatic team that carried Coach Rudolph off the field, dunked all of the coaches in the showers, and then went to a victory party at Dog- grell ' s. Coach Rudolph said that the second half was the finest effort he had ever seen a team give. The team expected a dirty game from Collier- ville as a result of last year ' s brawl. Coach was worried that the boys were looking ahead to the ' ri i.l t: McKee All-County All-State (second team) White Station game. However, the game wasn ' t too rough as the Owls downed Collieiville ,32-0. The big game with White Station was next. The rivalry between the schools is very strong, and it was intensified by M.U.S. students putting signs and flags on their school at three a.m. the night before the game. White Station was second in their division and they were ranked in the top twenty teams in the state. The entire week was spent working on a pass defense to stop their potent passing attack. An aggressive first half ended with no score. The Spartans got an early second half touchdown, but the Owls fought back 119 Bottom Row: Minkin, Lawson, Marsh, Gillespie, Jetton, Larson, Ferguson, Dunavant, Stevens Second Row: Davis, Taylor, Carrier, Koleas, Nichols, Cannon, Doggrell, Ay cock, Wilson, Bryce Third Row: Coach Rudolph, Bain, Wunderlich, Stitt, Drinkard, Woods, McKee, Leach, Sprunt, Heller, Coach Peters Top Row: Coach Thorn, Thompson, Hill, Adams, Parker, DeWeese, Roberts, Petree, Bowlin, McBurney, Smith to score in the waning minutes. However, it all went for naught as Gillespie ' s kick was wide, and White Station won 7-6. After the game, a sad and dejected team entered the locker room. But then Coach Rudolph came in and said that they were the greatest team that he had ever coached. M.U.S. players received more post-season hon- ors than ever before. The Owls placed seven play- ers on the twenty-two man Press Scimitar all- county team, and four players on the eleven man Commercial Appeal squad. In addition, Mac Mc- Kee received the highest honor ever given to an M.U.S. football player when he was selected to the Associated Press ' s all-state second team. As the greatest season in M.U.S. football history closed, several boys were being wooed with col- lege scholarships. 120 N XJiifl 1 An. : ■ A? • •— - ,.

MUS 0— Whitehaven 13 On September 13, the MUS Owls opened their season by dropping a 13-0 decision to White- haven. The difference proved to be the running of Buddy Lawhorn, a transfer from South Side. On the first play from scrimmage, Lawhorn stunned the Owls by racing 68 yards for a touch- down. The game then settled into a defensive bat- tle until the end of the second quarter. The Owls moved the ball 48 yards in four plays, but time ran out on the Whitehaven fifteen yard line. In the fourth quarter, Lawhorn scored again, this time from 32 yards out. After taking the kick-off, the Owls moved the ball well, but time ran out again on the Whitehaven fifteen yard line. 122 Gillespie Co-Captain All-County Jetton Co-Captain All-County Cannon All-County M.U.S. 38— Westwood 7 M.U.S. got their first win of the season on September 20 as they overwhelmed Westwood. Kent Wunderlich opened the scoring for the Owls with a 47 yard touchdown run in the first quar- ter, but Westwood quickly struck back in the sec- ond period as Deberry scored on a one yard plunge. But then Wunderlich put the Owls ahead to stay with a beautiful 66 yard punt return, and a 30 yard pass from Trow Gillespie to Tommy Thompson gave M.U. S. another score before the half ended. The second half was completely domi- nated by the Owls who racked up three more scores on a seven yard plunge by Gillespie, a 57 yard run by Dee Cannon and a 1 yard plunge by Rick Ferguson. M.U.S. 25— Hillcrest After completely dominating the first half, M.U.S. coasted to an easy win on September 26. Kent Wunderlich opened the scoring for the Owls in the first quarter on a 12 yard run. After Dee Cannon scored on a 47-yard run early in the second quarter, the game turned into a rout as in quick succession; the Owls intercepted a Hillcrest pass and on the next play Cannon ran 40 yards for a score; MUS kicked off, intercepted a pass and brought it to the 4 yard line from where Wunderlich ran it over; the Owls kicked off again, recovered a fumble and drove to the 5 yard line before the time ran out in the first half. The second half was an anti-climax with no scor- ing by either team, but it did give Coach Rudolph a chance to give his reserves valuable experience. 123 Owls rush Devil quarterback Dickie Dickson. MUS 35 — Germantown 6 The MUS Owls rolled over the Germantown Red Devils 35-6 on October 9. On the first play from scrimmage Dee Cannon broke away and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. By halftime the game was on ice as Cannon added another first period score on a 15 yard run and Kent Wunderlich scored from 3 yards out. Germantown finally scored in the final quarter when Dicky Dickson drove over from the one yard line, but MUS quickly struck back on Wunderlich ' s 18 yard scor- ing dash. In the fourth quarter a 55 yard pass from Trow Gillespie to Tommy Thompson rounded out the scoring. Gillespie was perfect in all five extra point attempts. Ferguson All-County 124 Wunderlich All-County All-State (honorable mention) Woods All-County M.U.S. 35— Oakhaven 6 M.U.S. ' s offense was again in high gear on October 16 as the Owls crushed Oakhaven 35-6. After the Owls stopped a first period Oakhaven drive, they started moving the ball well and Dee Cannon capped an 82 yard drive with his 20 yard touchdown run. Late in the second period the Owls intercepted a Hawk aerial and drove 50 yards for a touchdown which was scored by Trow Gillespie on a 1 yard dive. M.U.S. broke the game wide open in the third period when Kent Wunderlich scored on a 9 yard slant, and then electrified the crowd with a beautiful 68 yard punt return. Hank Hill scored the final Owl touchdown in the fourth period on a 6 yard run. Oakhaven halfback Bill Rowe got the only Hawk touchdown on a 1 yard plunge late in the game. Gillespie once again made 5 out of 5 extra points. McBurney All-County Petree All-County (second team) Thompson All-County (honorable mention) 125 Wunderlich the end. sweeps around MUS 20— Millington 6 On October 23 the Owls gained a hard fought 20-6 victory over Millington. The Owls scored the first time they got the ball as Trow Gillespie ' s 7 yard run was the climax of an 88 yard drive. At the beginning of the second quarter Trojan Dennis Caprio ' s 7 yard score tied the game at 6-6. The Owls came back quickly for another score when Dee Cannon broke loose from the 33 yard line. The Owls got an insurance touchdown in the third period as Kent Wunderlich made a fine catch of a Gillespie 20 yard pass. The rest of the game was a defensive battle as neither could mount a sus- tained drive. Gillespie converted two out of three extra point attempts.

M.U.S. 21— Bartlett 14 MUS had been favored to beat Bartlett and carry off second place honors in the county league, but to do it the team had to come from 14 points behind. The Owls received the kickoff and gained a first down, but the offense ground to a halt short of another. MUS punted and Panther Steve Burke ran back 70 yards for a touchdown. The Owls, after a few plays, again had to give away the ball and Bartlett drove 88 yards in 14 plays to score again. In the second half, a determined de- fense by the Owls held Bartlett to no gain for three plays. Shortly after that, a forty yard run by Kent Wunderlich set up the Owls ' first score, a five yard pass from Gillespie to Larson. Later in the quarter fullback Dee Cannon broke away to run 56 yards for the second Owl score. In the fourth quarter a 21 yard run by Rick Ferguson put the Owls ahead. Gillespie converted for three out of three extra points. La 127 Cannon cuts back on his way to a 95 yard touchdown. MU-S 32— COLLIERVILLE Before a large homecoming crowd, the heavily favored Owls trounced the Collierville Dragons. Scoring was not slow coming. On the second play from scrimmage, Fullback Dee Cannon broke away for a 44 yard touchdown. The Dragons marched 65 yards but were stopped by a deter- mined MUS line on the five yard line. On the first play Cannon ran for a 95 yard score. An interception by Ferguson set up a 27 yard score by Wunderlich, and later in the second period Ferguson ran from eight yards out. Late in the third quarter, an MUS drive was stopped by a Dragon interception, but as soon as the Owls got the ball back, Ferguson ran 42 yards for the score. This game left Wunderlich and Cannon tied for leading scorer in the league with 60 points apiece.

Both teams were really up for the game. An M.U.S. drive late in the first period was halted by an in- terception by Spartan quarterback Dick Cochrell of a Wunderlich aerial. In the second quarter a 60-yard Owl drive was halted by an interception in the end zone. Gillespie stopped a White Station drive with an interception, and the half ended scoreless. In the second half White Station drove 40 yards and with the help of a penalty penetrated the Owl ten yard line. M.U.S. held for five plays inside the five, but a White Station first down on the two yard line saved them. On the third play, inside the one yard line, Cochrell ran for the score. Jim Whittenberg kicked the extra point and White Station led 7-0. In the fourth quarter, after two more interceptions, Gillespie threw end Tommy Thompson a pass which was good for a 74 yard touchdown. However, Gillespie missed the kick and the game ended in a 7-6 defeat. Sprunt and Leach Bain and Roberts 129 . ' ' ' . d f Basketball M.U.S. opened its 1964-1965 basketball season with a supposedly bright future ahead of them. New coach, Jerry Peters, had four out of the five starters from last year ' s team returning that had swept through a 24-1 season and was ranked ninth in the state by a UPI poll. But several things came up that hindered the team ' s progress. Football season ended later this year, and since nine out of ten boys on the team played football, they were deprived of a lot of practice time. Other teams in the league started practice three or four weeks be- fore the Owls. Also Tommy Thompson, last year ' s leading scorer, severely sprained his ankle on the second day of practice. This injury kept Tommy out of the first three games and hampered him for several more games. Opening league play on Dec. 1 with German- town the Owls showed their lack of conditioning, practice, and teamwork by tripping Germantown 67-49, after an extremely close first half. After disposing of a poor shooting Oakhaven team, the Owls were faced with their first tough game in Bolton. Bolton had won eight straight games and had beaten Frayser, the eventual prep league champion. This was to be Thompson ' s first game and he responded with 21 points. A tremendous first half propelled M.U.S. to an 87-61 league victory. All five starters hit double figures in the important win. On Dec. 11th the Whitehaven Tigers ventured into the Owls ' nest, only to have their tails twisted 70-48. Whitehaven, a perennial league power, could not cope with M.U.S. bal- anced scoring. Thompson, Rhea, and Whitington paced the scoring with 14 points each. After crush- ing Harding 78-18, the Owls met Collierville, at M.U.S., to decide who would retain first place in the league. Everyone went home for the Christmas holidays happy, as the Owls smashed Collierville 74-49. Hal Rhea, a 6 ' 4 junior center scored 24 points and completely dominated the rebounding. The team was ranked seventh in the state polls after the game. M.U.S. was invited to participate in the Knights of Columbus Basketball Tournament Dec. 28-30 for the first time in the history of the school, and the Owls proved that they could give anybody trouble. In the tournament ' s first game, M.U.S. faced host C.B.H.S. The Owls were off to a slow start, hindered by afternoon play and the light- ing effects of the gym. However, after a hustling second half the result was a 60-36 victory. The next night M.U.S. played its most important game ever. The Owls faced Treadwell, which was ranked Number 1 in the state. The Owls played their best game and gave a tremendous defensive effort, before a jammed crowd of 2,300 spectators. Treadwell ' s Darrell Garrett, who was named the tournament ' s most valuable player and was the leading scorer in West Tennessee, was held to one field goal by Cannon and Wunderlich ' s alternating to guard him. A hustling Owls led by 8 at the first quarter and kept the lead until the fourth quarter. In the first minute of the fourth quarter, 131 the game ' s leading scorer, Trow Gillespie, was forced out of the game by a back injury. The Eagles sank 8 out of 8 free throws in the last two minutes to grab a 46-40 victory over the Owls. Tommy Thompson played his best game of the year, grabbing 19 rebounds and scoring 12 points. In the consolation game on Dec. 30, M.U.S. boomed back to beat a strong Catholic team. The Owls had to play this game without Gillespie, but there was brilliant scoring from the rest of the team. The Owls took an early lead and never drop- ped behind, the final score being 59-50. With this victory the Owls received third place trophy, and Tommy Thompson and Trow Gillespie were named to the All-Tournament Team. The team retained its seventh place ranking due to the fine showing in the tournament. On Jan. 5th the Owls traveled to Westwood for Front Row: Bowlin, Cannon, Gillespie, Wunderlich, Ferguson. Back Row: Adams, Petree, Whitington, Rhea, Thompson, Coach Peters. 132 the long awaited revenge of last year ' s loss in the District Tournament. However a fine defensive effort on Westwood ' s part and a spiritless effort by M.U.S. resulted in a 53-43 win for Westwood. This put Westwood in a tie with us for league lead. Fortunately, no after the game brawl erupted like last year, even though McKee was at the game. Coach Peters told a disillusioned team the next day that there were two times a team could fall apart; one was after a big loss, and the other was after a big win. He said, We wanted to see what kind of stuff we were made of. The Owls re- sponded with a sluggish 56-39 win over Hillcrest. And the very next night we dumped Millington 72-50. Thompson led the attack with 17 points, followed by Whitington ' s 16 and Bowlin ' s 9. The Bartlett Panthers gave the Owls some rough going before falling 61-46, at Bartlett. Since M.U.S. and Westwood were tied for the league lead, both teams had to remain undefeated until they could meet in February, at M.U.S., for the league ' s first place. While Westwood was win- ning by narrow margins, the Owls continued to roll over Germantown, Oakhaven, and Bolton. A most important game with Whitehaven was next. Play- ing at Whitehaven the Owls led by Gillespie ' s ter- rific play, overwhelmed the Tigers, 72-47. Gilles- pie finished as the game ' s top scorer with 28 points. After smashing Harding 87-34, the team con- tinued to keep their slate clean by defeating a hot shooting Collierville team. With Collierville mak- ing shots from half court, the Owls used a balanced attack to take the game, 80-60. Thompson and Gillespie had 20 each, Whitington 13, and Rhea and Cannon finished with 10 apiece. Then the big game with Westwood was next. Amidst much school spirit, pep rallies, fiery speeches, and newspaper publicity, the team ap- peared ready for the showdown, as the winner would take undisputed first place. Many people thought the Westwood jinx , which had started Ferguson Gillespie 133 Wunderlich Cannon Bovvlir Adams in last year ' s District Tournament, would be too much for the Owls, as the Commercial Appeal re- ported that Westwood was favored to win. An in- spired Owl quintet completely dominated play that night and took a 46-35 win. Thompson, play- ing a great game, finished with 19 points and Gil- lespie had 11. If the team could win its last three games, the league championship would be won. The Owls started mopping up by turning back a stalling Hill- crest team 65-38. An upset-minded Millington five gave the Owls a scare, before falling to an ag- gressive second half surge, 78-57. The half time score had M.U.S. ahead 32-30, but again we had five players in double figure scoring to pull the game out. The last game of the season ended with a 64-44 victory over an extremely aggressive Bartlett team. This clinched the second consecutive league title for M.U.S. The following week was the District Tourna- ment. The Owls were scheduled to play the quar- ter final game against Millington on Wednesday, February 24. The game had to be reset for the next day because of snow. As the Owls made the long trip to Millington, there could be few thoughts but of the Tournament jinx. M.U.S. teams which had finished first and second in the league in previous years had failed to make any progress in the District Tournament. The Owls started out well against a stalling Millington team and by the middle of the second quarter had an eleven point Whitineton Petree lead, but then the lead began to dwindle and by the first of the fourth quarter it was only three points and Coach Peters called a completely rat- tled team to the bench. Three quick field goals put the game out of Millington ' s reach. The Owls finished with a 42-32 decision and went on to further tournament competition for the first time in three years. On Friday night, February 26, in the semi-final game of the District, the Owls met Whitehaven. A victory in this game would assure the Owls of a seat in the Regional Tournament, for the first time in the school ' s history. The Owls started out slowly, but by halftime had built up a six point lead. After a few uneasy moments at the first of the fourth quarter, Thompson ' s and Gillespie ' s outside shooting propelled the Owls to a 59-43 victory. As the annual goes to press the Owls face a District finals game with Westwood and at least one game in the Regional Tournament. Rhea Thompson 135 rrr ?? B Team Front Row: Sprunt, Smith, Stratton, Bryce, Shadt, Dunavant, Coach Rudolph. Back Row: McDonald, Greeson, Roberts, Deweese, Hill. With last year ' s Varsity B team compiling a 20-0 record, there was little room for improve- ment, but this year ' s team ran up a fine 10-1 rec- ord, best in the league. From the many boys trying out for the team in November, Coach Jake Rudolph selected juniors Hank Hill, Jack Roberts, Butch Petree, Bruce Smith, Reid Shadt, and George Stratton and soph- omores David Dunavant, Gordon Greeson, Walter Sprunt, Ford McDonald, Bill Deweese, and Bill Bryce. Petree played three games before moving up to the varsity, and Bert Johnson played three games in mid-season. Starting off with a come-from-behind 42-34 vic- tory over Oakhaven, the team met a tough White- haven team. A big third quarter rallied the Owls to a 38-31 win. The Owls then travelled to Harding, where they turned on the steam for an impressive 57-7 vic- tory. Before taking off for Christmas, the team ousted Collierville, 51-23, and were paced by Gordon Greeson ' s 12 tallies. Hillcrest then challenged the Owls and sneaked off with a 24-22 overtime victory, as M.U.S. floor mistakes and offensive sluggishness proved costly. Getting back into the winning column, the Owl five downed Germantown, 43-31, behind a 16-point production from center Jack Roberts. Bolton was no match for the Owl press as they fell, 55-26. David Dunavant came through with 16 136 for M.U.S. Following a 55-22 victory over winless Harding, M.U.S. tangled with undefeated Westwood. Play- ing without Coach Rudolph, the Owls turned in their best performance of the year and were vic- torious, 55-37. The Owls hit 31 out of 45 from the free throw line as Jack Roberts came through with 19 points, an individual high for the year. The campaign ended on a happy note as M.U.S. came from an 8-point deficit with three minutes remaining to defeat Bartlett 45-43 in overtime. The Owls were sparked by Bruce Smith, who came off the bench late in the fourth quarter to pour through 7 points. Jack Roberts and David Duna- vant contributed 10 each. 137 Track - i y f, J.  %t % mk -mgr . J ftSa r. ' v Front Row: Carrier, Ringger, Miller, Sneed, Whitington, Brakebill, Brown, Kenna, Booth. Back Row: Coach Peters, Piper, Kirby-Smith, Jones, Lynn, Woods, Keltner, Gatling, Twist. Last year, the M.U.S. Varsity track team ex- perienced the finest season in the history of the school. With such stalwarts as Pierce Jones, Rich- ard Gatling, Steve Keltner, and Wilson Sneed, Coach Peters managed to whip a group of inex- perienced boys into the County Champions. The season began slowly for Jerry and the Pacemakers, with a second place effort in the triangular meet with Millington and Oakhaven. The next two practices helped to improve the physical condition of the team. A week later, the team made a fine effort against the former Cham- pion, Whitehaven and Oakhaven. Again we had to settle for a second place. In the last league meet of the season, the track Studs showed they were a much improved team against Bartlett and Westwood. As usual they had to settle for a second. During the season, the team traveled to Hum- boldt, Tennessee, to participate in the Humboldt Relays. In a field composed of the finest teams in West Tennessee, M.U.S. finished with a phe- nomenal first place and emerged, as The Com- mercial Appeal put it, one of the major track powers in Tennessee. In one of the most exciting sports events in the history of M.U.S., the Owl track team nipped de- fending champion Whitehaven by one point to take the County Track Championship for the first 138 time. Steve Keltner. anchor man for the mile relay team, nosed out the Whitehaven runner at the tape for second place to win three points against the Tigers ' two. This made the Owl total equal 39 1-2 to Whitehaven ' s 38 1-2 and it gave the team crown to M.U.S. who became the first school ever to win the meet over Whitehaven. The outstanding performer was Pierce Jones who won the high hurdles, the low hurdles, and the 100 yard dash to rack up 15 points. Other victories were recorded by Richard Gatling in the shot put, and by the two mile relay team composed of Sloan Young, Rick Ferguson, Paul Ringger, and Ray Brakebill. But the pressure man was Keltner who won eight and a half points besides running a great leg in the mile relay. He finished third in the high hurdles, second in the low hurdles, and he tied for fourth in the pol e vault. Others who placed for M.U.S. were Wilson Sneed who came in third in the 100 yard dash, Bill Ross who took fourth Jones Booth Woods Ferguson and Miller in the mile run, and of course the mile relay team of Sandy Lynn, Rick Miller, Ricky Ferguson, and Steve Keltner which won second place. The Owls finished fourth in both the District and the Regional track meets. In the State Track Pierce Jones won a first and a fourth place in the High and the Low Hurdles respectively. Steve Keltner managed a fourth in the High Hurdles. « j Sneed Cross Country Bottom Row: Schelhorn, Crump, Walton, Wellford, Higgins. Top Row: Coach Peters, Booth, Heckle, Brown, Klyce. Not Pictured: Malone, G. Smith. This year, for the first time, M.U.S. had an organized Cross Country team. The team com- peted in four three-way meets, finishing second in two of them and third in the other two. They also ran in the City Meet, although they were ineligible to receive any points because M.U.S. is not in the City League. The team closed out the season by finishing eighth out of twelve teams in the Regional Meet. Jim Booth, Stoy Brown, and Ferd Heckle were the three best runners with Booth strongest early in the year, and Heckle running best at the end. Three Sophomores who worked hard and did a good job were Randy Wellford, Rusty Walton, and Ray Higgins. This was a learning year for Cross Country at M.U.S., and all the boys gained valuable ex- perience. Prospects look extremely good for next year as the team loses only one of its top runners and will gain Jim Gannon, winner of this year ' s Turkey Trot, who was ineligible this year. Also, next year Coach Peters hopes to organize a County Cross Country League and to hold an M.U.S. Invitational Meet. 141 Junior High Football First Row: Bunn, L. Keesee, Oliver, Murphy, J. Keesee, R. Caldwell, Jones, Milnor, Rembert, Farnsworth, Alexander, Minkin. Second Row: Love, Pryor, West, Whitehead, Cowan, Alissandratos, Hoehn, James, Bob Caldwell, Ferguson, Haizlip, Remmers, Coop. Third Row: Mr. Powell, O ' Neal, Dando, Cannon, Chapleau, H. Laughlin, Lake, W. Laughlin, McBride, Taylor, Feinstein, Hutton, Mr. Howells, Yeates, Roop, W. Smith. The Junior High Football team began practice late in August under the direction of Coaches Powell and Howells. Almost immediately difficulties arose as Shelton and Witherington were sidelined with injuries. The season opened on a flat note as the Owlets lost to Germantown 19-0. The defensive backfield proved the weakest point as Germantown scored on two end sweeps and a roll-out pass. Owlets showed considerable improvement in their second contest against Millington, but the offense ' s timing was off and several costly fumbles resulted in a 6-0 Millington win. With all systems working well, the Owlets scored their first victory over West- wood 14-0. Laughlin and James accounted for the 142 scores on two short runs. Fine defensive play high- lighted the next game with Collierville. After Laugh- lin scored for a 7-0 lead, Collierville came back to score and tie the game. Hillcrest opened up with a quick 6-0 lead, and a fine second half for the Owlets wasn ' t enough to overcome the Vikings. The defen- sive play was led by Hoehn, McBride, Feinstein, and Taylor. In the hardest fought battle of the season, the Owlets were edged by a larger Whitehaven team 14- 13. Curt Taylor gave M.U.S. a quick touchdown, and the Owls led 7-0. The Tigers then tied the game on a 45 yard touchdown pass. A fumbled punt re- covered on the M.U.S. 20 yard line resulted in a Co-captains Hoehn and James with Mr. Powell second score and a 14-7 lead by Whitehaven. The Owlets fought back to score again as Taylor dived over the goal line. A strong Whitehaven rush stopped the extra point attempt and the game ended 14-13, with Whitehaven winning. In the last game of the season, Taylor again scored to give the Owlets a 6-0 lead over Oakhaven. The Owlets scored again when Carey Whitehead took a quick pass and rambled 56 yards for a score. After a Oakhaven score in the third period, the game and season ended on a happy note, with the Owlets win- ning 12-6. This win brought the season record to 2-4-1. v H i Junior high basketball Back Row: Pryor, Caldwell, Warren, Treadwell, Work, Whitehead, Laughlin. Front Row: West, Cannon, Myar, Ogle, Schutt, Haislip. Kneeling: Hutton, Coach Lawo. The Junior High, coached by returning alumnus John Lawo, and spearheaded by the strong scoring of Pryor, Hutton, and Laughlin averaged about thirty points a game and finished with a 6-8 record. A more experienced Germantown team won the opener on December 1. The Owls led in the first quarter but the Devils came from behind to win 28-18. On their next outing the Junior High defeated a weak Bolton team 49-28. Tom Hutton led the attack with 15. In their second meeting the Owls again lost to Germantown 36-23. Hutton paced the Owls with 10. On January 5 Westwood won a hard fought game from the Owls. Several times the Owls tied it up, but as Laughlin, Pryor and Warren fouled out the West- erners pulled ahead to win 41-35. In the closest game Starters: Hutton, Pryor, Warren, Laughlin, Cannon. 144 of the season the Owls defeated the Millington Trojans 29-27. The Owls never led until the last six seconds. On January 15, the Owls were defeated by a strong Bartlett team 49-25. Bartlett, who later went on to win the district championship, completely dominated the game. The fired up Owls defeated Oakhaven 36-32. Coming from behind the Owls proved themselves to be a second half club. The following week, the Owls were handed defeat by Whitehaven 27-37. On Feb. 2, the Owls beat Horn Lake 34-27 and the next week came from behind to beat Collierville 43-36. Playing without Pryor and Cannon the Owls were completely outpacked and Whitehaven won 56-23. Laughlin led the Owls with 12 points. The Owls lost the final game to Hillcrest 24-38. The Vikings led at half 15-5 and the Owls never caught up. In the first game of the District Tournament, the Owls battled a much improved Bolton team to a 40-35 win. Hutton with 11 and Myar with 10 led the scor- ing and Treadwell was tough on the boards. In the quarter final game the Owls lost to Hillcrest 33-19. Laughlin was chosen to the all tournament game. Eighth Grade Basketball Front Row: Freeberg, L. Keesee, Caldwell, J. Keesee, Humphreys, Parks. Back Row: Roberts, Shy, Weathersby, McClure, Smith, Coach Everett. The Eighth Grade Team, coached by Mr. Everett, tional Tournament at M.U.S. in which St. Micheal ' s, finished the season with a 4-6 record. Although they Holy Rosary, and St. Dominic as well as M.U.S. par- had trouble with parochial teams, they did beat both ticipated, M.U.S. beat St. Dominic ' s but came in sec- Shelby County teams that they faced.

The swimming team this year was under the able direction of Coach John Howells, who was an Ail- American water-polo player at Yale. His main ob- jective for this season was to increase the team ' s en- durance. A week ' s practice would consist of two days of exercises at school and three days of workouts in the Memphis Athletic Club ' s indoor pool. In the pool the team swam nearly a mile in one hour, usually doing it in 50 yard sprints. The team competed in three swim meets, with the Memphis Athletic Club, Frayser, and C.B.H.S. All three were close, with the team losing to the Memphis Athletic Club and C.B.H.S., and defeating Frayser. 147 Golf Team Left to Right: Blumberg, Allen, Miller, Nickey, Drinkard, Sorrels, Coach Rudolph. ■B The 1964 golf team composed of Senior Barham Ray, Juniors John Nickey, and Andy Allen, and Soph- omore Jim Sorrels captured the Shelby County Golf Championship for the second consecutive year. Under the very able leadership of Coach Rudolph the team went undefeated through league matches and then completed the regular season with a three stroke vic- tory over Whitehaven in the county tournament, 316 to 319. By placing third in the regional qualifying with a 299 score, the team managed to win a berth in the state tournament at Nashville. Although the team did not fare too well in Nashville, this year ' s contin- gent, with three lettermen returning and Bill Miller becoming eligible for competition, is hoping for a re- turn shot at the state title. Also, the golf team is plan- ning to return to Chattanooga for the Southern Inter- scholastic Tournament in which they placed fifth in 1964. 148 Tennis Team Front Row: Gordon, Minor, Halperin, Cunningham, B. Smith. Back Roiv: McDonald, Sloane, Johnson, Robinson, Varner, C. Smith. The 1964 M.U.S. Tennis Team coached by Mr. Kelley compiled a record of three wins, one loss, and one tie. The Owls defeated Overton, Kingsbury, and Kennett while tying a strong C.B.H.S. team and los- ing to Little Rock Hall. M.U.S. made a clean sweep of the Kennett Invitational Tournament as Al Varner took the singles title while Gary McCrory and Ford McDonald took the doubles. In the Regional Tourna- ment at the end of the season, Varner reached the semi-finals. Prospects for this year are bright as the team loses only one letterman from last year. New coaches Mr. Strand and Mac McLaren got the boys off to an early start as they held practices during the fall. 149 V I I J— — I Ml 11 Uki u • a  M y.. 4  4 O ■ a fHtlll tftt 1 ' i 1 i I T i J £ WS y« o- ' 1 % r | ANTHOLOGY 151 CLASS HISTORY For the last few weeks of August, nasty letters continuously reminded you that school was about to start: schedule cards, book lists, football sched- ules, and transportation slips. Suddenly it dawned on you that you had summer reading to do. Well, there was no hurry, you always do better if you read the night before — it ' s fresh in your mind Anyway, Dickens is pretty fast reading. The dreadful day arrived. You saw new faces and old faces — all sunburned with eyes slightly bloodshot; from summer reading, of course. The first few minutes you began to think, Well, this might not be so bad; classes only four times a week, air-conditioned rooms, an hour for lunch, no staying until 4:30 on Mondays, the Senior Com- mons Room, no demerits, and class cuts. Then you made the mistake of going to chapel. You really should have skipped — they wouldn ' t have caught you the first day. You found your chapel seat — it was in the middle of a row and you were always late and had to climb over three people to get to it. Besides this, Schadt was on one end and Stitt was on the other. You mumbled through the hymn, sat down, and saw Col. Lynn walk to the lectern with a lost look on his face. It was then you realized that you should have skipped. It was already about 150 and certain to get hotter. The Colonel proceeded to tell you that this would be the best year ever — if you worked. Next, he be- Summer reading 152 MUS Bombers Hutch gan to introduce the faculty who, dull bunch that they are, interested you little. By this time you were sweating profusely, and slowly becoming stuck to your seat. Your tongue was hanging out of one side of your mouth, and you were gasping for water. Three or four people had probably already fainted from heat prostration and rolled under their seats. Slowly, the monotonous voice faded out and you knew that you were either asleep or dead. Since chapel lasted so long, classes would be shorter. That ' s great. The new schedule was rather good — you could skip classes the first few days and nobody would . .- - ' - rAski: ■- iir •  ■ § t 1 ' if catch you. But, the way you figured it, you had lunch on only Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Bad show. Also, it was embarrassing the time you sat in fifteen minutes of Mr. MacQueen ' s Amer- ican History class, thinking it was European His- tory. However, you somehow managed to walk out gracefully. After much schedule changing, things settled down. The football season started and there were parties to go to afterwards. Unfortunately, there were also Saturday mornings to wake up to. Fall stood still during the Indian Summer, but the football team didn ' t. It promised to be, and in fact was, the best team in the history of the school. 153 Homecoming was better than ever. It was pref- aced by a Junior High game and included the stu- dent-faculty football game (we won ' t talk about that — boo McClaren), the crowning of Queen Charmian Place, the victory over Collierville, the infamous street dance, and the Homecoming dance. The White Station game, Friday the thirteenth, was prefaced by the 1964 White Station Raid. Aft- er the bonfire and pep rally, members of the Pep Club met at the Garret where they played poker until 3:00. Then they divided into pairs, each equipped with signs and tape. As White Station students had ungratefully tied the rope of their flagpole to an upstairs window, it looked as if the annual MUS flagraising ceremony might be impossible. But thanks to one of the more daring Owls, the rope was freed and the Blue and the Red flew over the Green and Gray. The Spartans had a little difficulty in getting the rope of their flagpole out of the top of a huge oak, but that ' s tou gh. It was terrifying to look into the mirror Friday morning and see the little red lines criss- crossing your eyes — it ' s amazing what two hours of sleep will do for you isn ' t it? The intermission between the football and bas- ketball seasons was far from boring: the new labs were finished and there were many new toys to play with; Sudie ' s lunches got continuously worse; the Wings made their debut in Memphis (Yea Norm, Yea George) ; and anticipation of the Christmas Holidays reached toward the boiling point. Also, there was the Christmas tree in the foyer with all that silver stuff that you could wad up and throw at the teachers as they walked down the hall. The basketball season (not counting the District Tournament) seemed to be a dazzling repeat of last year. During the Christmas Holidays we showed our might in the Knights of Columbus Tournament. Also during the Christmas Holidays, there were all sorts of wild parties to go to. (Gosh, we looked even more like the true Studs that we were in tux.) Experienced college girls came home and taught us what they had learned. Many headed for the Crescent City for New Years; some stayed in Memphis and were seen at Decern. A delicate toy il If II U II M • too rough On the dreadful day we got back from Christ- mas Holidays, we found that Mr. Henderson ' s Latin class had thoughtfully constructed a play- house for the seniors. They wittily named it the Labyrinth — hinting, I suppose, at the fact that all the seniors were lost. Like children with a delicate new toy, we treated our playhouse too roughly and it collapsed. Our hope that we might get drafted or something and not have to take exams also collapsed. But pre-exam period, as Col. Lynn told us (I think that ' s what he said), is only a time to play around since teachers give you no definite assignments. Somehow, we snaked through exams — some of us, anyway (Where ' s Freddy?). Our exuberance in so doing manifested itself in the Snake Dance. The faculty thought it was original and witty of us, a little like Lord of the Flies. Saturday nights became occupied with pool, poker, and the Lausanne boarders. (Soon, Monday and Thursday nights became occupied with pool and poker but 156 :: ' JKKw Z : 1 we won ' t go into that here.) Since there were bas- ketball games Tuesday and Friday nights, and hockey games Wednesday nights — pool and poker had to take the back seat. I think studying was somewhere in the trunk. To get back to the Lau- sanne boarders, if you couldn ' t fine one to go out with you could sit in the foyer of the dorm and read the humorous things we wrote in the date book — bloat beside Little Stevie ' s name and others. The interim between exams and spring vacation showed us the Great Teacher Crackdown. Some were greatly distressed by it, but looking back on six successful years of class and study-hall skipping, all I can say is that it ' s about time they caught on. The Great Student Revolt of 1965 was planned, certainly shameful in the eyes of the proud class of Bartlett, a quarter of a century ago. As to that fiasco we can only quote Robert Burns: The best laid schemes of mice and men About this time, you began to think seriously of getting into college, or not getting into college. Since your grades weren ' t too hot, you planned to rely on your College Boards. But, somehow, the IBM must have gone berserk; your scores weren ' t in the 700 ' s. The heart isn ' t so easily brok- en by academic failure and soon you began to pride yourself in the fact that you, and only you, would be the one to blemish the school ' s 100 percent col- lege entrance record of MUS. You began to picture 157 .•: ■ ' . -. ' : ' the manly tan you would get working in a filling station. But, soon the day arrived and you received the notice that you were accepted at North Podunk County Junior College. (Seriously, we must de- fend the Class of ' 65 — it was not only the most outstanding athletically, but also academically — 10 percent being National Merit Finalists — yea Class of ' 65.) A very interesting speaker came to us in Febru- ary, in fact he was interesting and informative. The only question he left us with was What are the visiting hours? He was followed by a man who ate insects; at least, that ' s all I remember; I fell asleep. For both of the speeches, the Hutch girls joined us. We could only say to that great experience, More, more? Spring Vacation of 1964 would have provided F. Scott Fitzgerald with delicious subject matter for a novel, but ' 65 was a little calmer in that, at least, so many were not crowded into one ill-fated Holiday Inn as was the case in Destin, and maybe we were a little more mature, but I doubt it. 158 In closing, perhaps, I should be a little more serious and try to express what I know everyone in the class thinks of MUS. There are bad schools and there are good schools, but MUS is the best. There ' s something about this place that will never allow any of us to forget what a wonderful school we went to. Sure everyone complains about this and about that, but what fun would school be if we couldn ' t complain. Perhaps it ' s the informality of everything or maybe its the closeness of all the students to each other, but whatever it is, someday when we ' re all older, we ' ll remember what a won- derful experience it was to go to Memphis Uni- versity School. 159 She lODt SELECTIONS 160 Galloping Poll The Question: What do you think of the fact that M.U.S. has given up the demerit system? The Answers: Rick Ferguson—It is especially good for the students, but harder on the teachers; the students think they can get away with anything. Jim Jetton— It ' s the best thing that could have happened to this school. I saw no purpose at all in writing words out of a diction- ary. Casey Bowlin— I think it ' s a good idea as far as the students are concerned, but it tends to give the school no discipline at all. Ray Larson— I think it ' s great. I felt like the system was a waste of time, messed up your hand writing, you didn ' t learn anything, and it created hostilities. Steve Keltner— I ' m glad the sys- tem ' s gone because I think it ' s bet- ter for the teachers to handle dis- ciplinary activities individually. Mr. Everett— It ' s good, because the teachers don ' t use it as a crutch; they operate on a more personal basis. It has made the students more cooperative. Henry Doggrell — I like it. Now we can get away ,with anything. Mr. Hatchett— I haven ' t noticed any difference except in regard to tardiness; the students seem a little lax in getting to class on time. The general conduct of the students in the classroom is ex- cellent, but the conduct in the halls and in dress could be improved. Jim Lawson — It ' s pretty d — - good. Mr. Morelock — I haven ' t given one in five years; it ' s nothing new to me. Charlie Moore— I think it ' s great, because the alert student can skip numerous study halls successfully with no fear of dire consequences. Trow Gillespie — Good deal, Lu- cile. School Confuses Schedule; Overhauls Grading System Students returning to Memphis University School this year were confronted with several radical changes in everyday school life. Confusion was the watchword during the first few days • while the student body and faculty alike adjusted to numerous innovations. The schedule now allots to each class the advantage of early- j morning study through a daily change in order of periods. Every — ♦ ' academic course meets four one-hour periods each week, while the last two periods of the day are reserved for study halls, physical education, labs, etc. The grading system has also been overhauled. An A is 85- 100, B is 75-84, and C is 65-74, while below 65 is failing. This change took place b e c a us e MUS work is considered more difficult than public school work. Even the length of the grading periods has changed from six to nine weeks. In other words, we are now on the quarter system. Following the precedent set by Eastern schools, the lunch ; procedure has been altered too. Students now are served at the tables by other students. One half the school eats while the other half is in study hall, and the students serving are replaced every three weeks. An Owl Hoots Some mysterious student enemy of p e d.a g o g i c personalities and propaganda has produced this: There was a young (?) teacher Perdue. The pupils who pass him are few. He goes to bed Wishing his head Had a few hairs that grew. Here ' s another: There was a young teacher named Spring ' . Some culture he determined to bring.

MUS started by winning the basketball title, breezing through the league schedule with a 17-1 record. The Owls also possessed the loop ' s leading scorer in Tommy Thomp- son, who averaged 22.3 points per game. Going into the District 35 tournament, MUS had won 19 straight, but their bid for the 20th never came. Host West- wood shocked the favorites by a point and then went .on to take the title after a win over highly- regarded Overton to highlight a week that brought the Westerners their first championship. With the arrival of outdoor sports, MUS made more prog- ress. The Owls won both the league and tournament titles in golf. Mike Thompson of Ger- mantown won the individual medal in the tourne In track, MUS ed haven for first in thi pionship me ; • ' i single poinl which gave the Owls i sweep of the first tl league cale i I hurdler Pierce Jones and ver- satile Sti ' . i i Itni c were pi i- rnariiy responsible for the MUS track fortunes. Bartlctt was the surprise team in baseball as the Pan- thers came in first with a 9-1 record thanks to some out- standing individual efforts. Pitcher Mike Richmond was!, sensational in posting a 7-0 record and he struck out 17 batters in the game that de- termined the championship. Eddie McLarty of Westwood was the batting champ with a .521 average. Traditionally tough White- haven again walked away with the top football prize by post- ing an 8-0 loop record and a 9- 2 overall. The title was de- cided on the first night of li ■ tie play when the Tigers d MI ' S, which finished s i ond, its only loop setback, 13-0. Dee Cannon and Ki nl rlii h ol Ml S shared the id I . I s irinE title with 60. elusion basketball is in full swing. MUS is leading the pack with a 6-0 record and ap- pears to be the team to beat. Westwood is second at 5-1. The two teams will meet on the first playing date in 1965. L Owl Win increases Streak To 10 Straight As Thomp- son Sparkles ' By BOBBY HALL Defending champion Mem-j phis University School vaulted ' into first place in Shelby County League basketball last night and took over the inside track toward its second con- secutive league title by turn- ing back Westwood, 48-35, at MUS before a capacity crowd of 900. The Owl victory increased, their winning streak to 10 and: dissolved the tie that had existed for more than a month for first with Westwood. For the Westerners it was the first loss in 13 games. MUS now is the sole possessor of the top spot with a 16-1 mark. West- wood is 15-2. But in all due fairness to Westwood and taking nothing away from the fine MUS effort it must be mentioned that Westwood played without its leading scorer and best defen- : sive player Johnny Person who missed the game because of a death in his family. Person was averaging over 15 points per contest. i MUS trailed only briefly in the opening moments and once the Owls got the lead late in Ithe period thev were never ;headed. It was 11 straight points earlv in the second pe- Iriod that put MUS ahead by la comfortable margin and forced Westwood to play the Owls ' type game. Forward Tommy Thompson land guard Trow Gillespie were the big scoring factors in the strong second period that produced a 26-14 halftime edge. Thompson started it with ' three buckets and Gillespie kept it going with three more and a free throw. Meanwhile the classy twosome was com- bining with center Hai Rhea to fight Westwood ' s big Lanny Ozment under the boards. After the intermission the I the Westerners ever cot to the leaders was nine points. With Thompson hitting from all over the court the Owls built up a lead of 16 points at one time before see- ing it dwindle to 10 in the last period. Thompson finished as the game ' s high scorer with 19 and Gillespie had 11. Ozment was high for Westwood with U and fought the MUS front line for 15 rebounds. MUS is now only three games away from winning the title. The Owls have games left with Hillcrcst, Millmgton and Bartlett. In the first round the closest any of these reams could get was 15 points.

M - N ' ' .:: Neanderthal By Henry Klyce The period known as the age of Romanticism ended around 1898 upon the death of Johannes Brahms. From approximately this time on, ••classical ' music evolved into a new idiom. A major proponent of this was Arnold Schonberg. Schonberg discarded the lush, thick tones of Wagner and Mahler and gave his pieces a sense of severity and clarity in texture. He was the first to use the 12 tone scale in his music. This chromatic scale replaced the seven tone diatonic scale. To the un- trained ear, the music was harsh and to the performer it was difficult to play, for it contained no tune and changed key and time signa- tures frequently. This trend, of course, produced a rash of incompetent composers who used no key signatures or bar lines and simply wrote notes upon a page and then filled in accidentals. Other composers did not make so radical a change, but innovation and experimentation were still the theories of the time. Charles Iv es wrote original pieces. One, called the Unanswered Question. written j in 1905, contained a trumpet, strings, and woodwinds. The woodwinds were put in the balcony and the trumpet behind the stage. The strings represented druids who saw and heard nothing, and the trumpet asked the question of life over and over, while the woodwinds, as mortals, fruitlessly tried to answer it. The strings played in such a way that it was five or ten seconds before the audience realized the piece was over. One man gave a concert with 6 radios and 12 men. One was to work the volume, and another to change the channels while he directed. Ex- perimentation is still going on now. There are literally hundreds of composers in America at this time whose music is serious and quite good. The moods and tones that one can achieve with this freedom are fabulous. And one can still recognize the good from the bad. Howard Hanson, Samuel Barbes, and Earnest Bloch are all good contemporary composers.

A current subject of discussion at MUS is the possible combina- tion of this school and Miss Hutchi- son ' s into a coeducational institu- tion. From the students ' standpoint there is no doubt that this idea would meet, with instant approval. Here at MUS the boys work all day in a semi-Spartan atmosphere, and leave school each afternoon with a wild, hungry look in their eyes. Perhaps the presence of a feminine influence here at school would help relieve the tensions of the high- pressure education required of modern American youth, w h i c h cause this condition. On the serious side of the issue, it seems curiou s that the two schools are in such close proximity, and yet. rarely get together. We never have any combined lectures, or even chapel assemblies. It would not seem unfeasible to have va- rious classes in the other ' s school, to diversify the program and fac- ulty of each. Perhaps the most glaring evidence of lack of coop- eration, and need of it, is the fact that there have been no combined social events of any kind. This is the place to begin, and if the first efforts are successful, further steps may be taken, toward bigger and better things. On Senior Conduct I have been asked by the editor of this newspaper to write down my impressions of our present senior class here at Memphis University School. I suspect something of an attempt to lead me off the deep end here. I know I ' ve been sounding off quite a bit this year in the class- room, as I have in years past, whenever I felt that my opinions would be helpful, about certain failings, omissions, commissions, low crimes, high crimes and misdemeanors — as it is any teacher ' s duty to do about any group. I ' ve paid them a number of compliments, too — perhaps not in public as often as I should, because it ' s human to let go only when something is displeasing, but certainly in plenty of college recommendations, and even to their faces sometimes. Somehow, though, it ' s only the adverse criticism that they seem to remember, and I sup- pose that ' s human too. And that, I think, is what is expected now. Well, r m not going to carry out this assignment precisely as the editor asked me to Instead, I ' m going to tell you a little something about my own senior class back in high school, because it was the way we were then that furnishes me, by comparison and contrast, with my opinions about the way things are now. And that ' s the only way a man can be furnished with such opinions. To begin with — and, in fact, to end with, because this one point pretty well sums up everything there was about us — the thing we had, intensely, was Pride, And I put that word in a capital letter because that ' s exactly the way we felt it, with a capital letter. You see, we were Seniors. We were the ones who had survived more than a decade of education, and were still in there trying. We were the top, the ulti- mate, the best the school had to offer, and we knew it, and the school knew it, because it was a fact. For the first two or three years of high school, we had looked up to the senior class ahead of us with an admiration bordering upon awe. They were the ones who had made it; the ones who had taken all the toughness that life, as we knew it, had to offer, and who had lasted. We looked forward to being seniors ourselves, some day, with a keenness of anticipation that I can ' t describe. Because of the senior privileges involved? Not likely. There weren ' t any. Not in the usual sense of the term, that is. Not a one. No class cuts. No Commons Room. No study hall exemptions. Nothing. Except one. And that was the greatest privi- lege of all. It was the privilege of being a senior. I mean it. Just that. And believe me, that was a privilege that was everything. It was the privilege of being looked up to and respected, at long last, by the lower grades. It was the privilege of setting an example, a good example. Of showing the less mature students, behind us, how men — not school- kids, but men, almost ready for the university, or the war — behaved. We dressed neatly. We walked proudly. In assembly, in the dining hall, we sat erectly, with dignity. We did the same in the classrooms, and we came in, and we went out, quietly, as befitted the respect we had at last learned for our teachers, and the respect that we knew they felt for us in return. Whenever there was any kind of a school campaign to be handled, we handled it, because we had pride in our school, and pride in ourselves, and knew that nobody else could handle it as well as we could. We taught the other students, too. Primarily we did it by example- showing them how responsible men handled themselves in polite society, among a faculty of adults. Often, when we saw students behaving im- properly, we told them directly what was done, and what was not dohe, at our school. I don ' t mean hazing, either— we would have considered any senior doing that to be just as babyish as one who was raucous at the dining table, or horseplayed in the halls, or did anything else to make the lower classes think of us as less than seniors. No one had ever told us how to behave as we did. No one had ever had to. We had learned our senior behavior while we were lower classmen ourselves, by watching the seniors above us, and we practiced it because we knew that it was expected of us, and because it was good for the school, and good for us. And when we walked down the hall and passed the gradu- ation photographs of all those who had gone ahead of us, we had nothing to be ashamed of at all. And that ' s the way it was, exactly. At other schools, too. Old- fashioned? Maybe. But not child-like. It made our parents, who had been wondering, probably, just when we were going to grow up, and justify their years of support, proud of us. And a lot of schools today must be pretty old-fashioned, because it ' s still that way in many of them. If you doubt a single word I ' ve just said, then just get in touch with any old classmates of mine you care to. Class of about a quarter- century ago. Bartlett High School.

Penniless feels sure that this will be M.U.S. ' s best year. I ' m sure our great senior class will carry on the fine traditions of our school. Unfortunately, one of our oldest traditions was broken last week when Charlie showed up for P.E.— I ' m sur- prised he knew where the gym was. We hear that Rick Miller had quite a time when the woman jumped off the ship. It seems he thought the boat was sink- ing. — It should have been with his nose on board. Al reluctantly said good-by to his Warrior Queen, as she left for college. Penniless hears that she has several loc al in- formers, so Beware! Al. Penniless wishes to extend its sympathies to Trow, who seems to be lost without Sally around. I hear, however, that he made the most of her last night at home. Louis, The Bad Seed , John- son has finally come out of years of love-starved life. Pen- niless has spied him several times driving like a madman around town with some wild woman practically in his lap. Andy is still seen with Denise although there seems to be some competition from some of the Tiger High gang. Andy, who is editor of that unmention- able other publication, says that he doesn ' t care, but Penniless knows better. Penniless wishes to award the title- of Most Oversexed to Dee, who spent his summer chasing a girl to Florida. This, of course, was after his esca- pades with a former Hutch girl, now a Mustang , who lately has been seen in Cooper ' s com- pany. — Could it be because of her new car? One of the longest romances in the class appears to be hit- ting the rocks. Judo George and Debby seem to be separated. It seems Debby was seeing a certain new boy from East High. After convincing him that Debby just wasn ' t his type, George decided to play it cool, so he hasn ' t seen her for two weeks. Belgian Student Joins MUS Junior Class M.U.S. is fortunate this year in having its first foreign student. He is Jean-Philippe de Meyere of Ghent, Belgium ' s third largest city. Here at M.U.S. , Jean-Philippe is a junior, but in Belgium, he would be only a sophomore. He is here by the invitation of I Mr. Francis Hickman, his godfather. Jean-Philippe learned I | English at Taal Institute, whichj jwas founded by his uncle, where he took a college English course for two years. I also learned a lot j o f English ' this summer on a trip to England which I took with my god- father, he says. ' Jean-Phillip- Jean-Phillipe pe went to Sin t-A mandus Institute before coming here. ' ' M.U.S. is easier than Sint- Amandus, but I have trouble because of language difficult- ies. He speaks English, French, and Dutch. Football is the favorite Ameri- can sport of our newcomer, and he is trying to learn the rules so he can go out for varsity football this spring. In Belgium, he was on a judo team. What If ' s i the Seniors had a slump? the paper came out once in a while? the junior high corridor were sale to walk through? Mr. Strand never came John SUM swallowed his har- monica?

Letters To The Editor- GOOD GUYS As a new student at MUS, I wish to commend the student body for a quality very unusual in high school students: they ' re friendly. My first impression of MUS was gathered at a Student Council party last June, where the most striking thing was the sincere friendliness and interest of everyone I met. Since then, in this 9-week period. I have formed many new and last- ing friendships, and most important of all. I am not that kid from East, or that new kid, but simply another student. Here I am learning through the example of my fellow students the importance of courtesies and un- derstanding, which I will not soon forget. Fred M. Niell ' 66 LITTLE BROTHERS Dear Editor, Please help me find out who my big brother is. Also please help me find out what I ' m supposed to do about it. Finally, help me find out what this big brother business is all about. Puzzled, A Seventh Grader RAIN FORESTS Dear Editor, In my usual role of lonely voice in the wilderness. 1 would like to ask, What happened to the good old chapel programs of yester- year? Nothing exciting happens anymore on Friday mornings. Where are the science men who made Henry Klyce ' s hair stand on end? Where are the math teachers from Memphis State who added two and three and got six? Where are the interesting rain forest maps that no one could see? Where are bits of wisdom comparable to Frank Tenent ' s speech during stu- dent council elections or Coach Bland ' s annual explanation of ref- ereeing? The chapel programs of today can ' t match up to these all time great performances. It ' s time for some changes! I advocate inviting the following to speak, or do whatever they do best, during Friday morning chapels: j Hugh Heffner, Charlie Brown, Ross Barnett, Hooker Hood, Lassie, Mal- colm X. Beanie and Cecil, Little j Egypt, the Grand Dragon of the KKK, the Dave Clark Five, Lucy Bird Johnson, Mayor Ingram, Jerry Lewis, Billie Sol Estes, and Patty Lee. At least they would be different. ANONYMOUS o— — BVD Dear Editor, I ' ve often wondered if the only reason I go to high school is to get into college. At times, that seems to be the case here at MUS. The only- thing that inotters to the teachers is my grade, not the amount I learn and comprehend. And all the office cares about is my taking the ACT, PSAT, ACH. NMSQT. NROTC, XYZ, BVD, and LSMFT. It ' s get- ting to the point that I can ' t even figure out what the letters stand I for. much less how to answer the ; test ' s questions. 1 do know, though, that it takes about four dollars for ! each test, depending on how manv letters are in its initials. Anyway, I ' ve about given up writing this letter because I have I five tests tomorrow, but only four ; subjects (one of the teachers feels j especially inspired), I guess I ' ll be I the first post-grad student at MUS. ; Then again, 1 might not graduate.

Co-captains Vicki Bell and Charm- ian Place, both who have been cheerleaders at MUS for four yea rs, led the girls. The group devoted much time in planning and executing skits in liaison with the Pep-Club. To the great apprecia- tion of the U Club, the cheerleaders held their an- nual Letterman ' s dance.
