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. Mr. Strand was in the army from 1955 to 1957 and he taught at Darlington School in Rome, Georgia for two years. Besides his administrative duties, Mr. Strand also teaches ninth grade English. He is a noted tennis player in Memphis and the Mid-South, having won the Tennessee State Men ' s Championship in 1959. MR. 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. In 1950 he re- ceived his B.A. degree from Memphis State, and in 1953 his M.A. degree. Since 1954, he has been on the faculty of M.U.S. Besides teaching geometry and algebra, Coach Thorn serves as Dean of Student Activities, advisor to the Social Committee, and Chairman of the Discipline Com- mittee. His athletic experience includes two years of col- lege basketball, and four years of professional baseball; he is presently Athletic Director and is line coach of the varsity football team. 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
