THUMPS ANTIOCH 34-0 As the ’65 season began, Battle Ground supporters had visions of a championship team. The game with Antioch strengthened this feeling. A wide-open ground attack gave the Wildcats 330 yards rushing and 34 points. The combination of team co-ordination and hard-nosed football produced the victory.

Dehler took a quick lead but our defense stiffened and held the Alabamians scoreless for two quarters. Milam tied the score in the third period and the Wildcats appeared to catch fire. But our hopes were quelled by four Wildcat fumbles, all recovered by Deshler. Quick-pursuit holds Deshler quarterback Lewey to a short gain. Page 64 Home, Sweet Home 33-6 Over Clarksville Although the defeat at the hands of Deshler was decisive, the Wild- cats refused to hang their heads. Silvey gained over 200 yards rush- ing and scored 3 T.D.’s by finding gaping holes in the line made by Denbo and Bobby Jackson. The defensive unit, led by Rogers and Calvin, held Clarksville to minus rushing yardage and less than 60 yards total offense. Silvey nears goal line and a Clarksville defender at the same time. Thompson, Milam, Silvey, and Patterson composed the ‘65 Wildcat ! backfield which accounted for more than 2,000 yards rushing.

This game saw the lead change three times, finally end- ing in a deadlock. The Wildcats’ offensive threat was shown in Milam’s wide runs, while Two Rivers was restricted to the air. After being behind for nearly 2 quarters, the Wild- cats pushed across their last score of 65 and forged into the lead. With only a few minutes remaining, the score was knotted by a second Pirate aerial. The game ended with the ’Cats in possession on the Two Rivers’ three yard line. Rogers accepts Metro Bowl trophy.

Credit for its success is due not only to the team’s effort but to the support given by the student body, faculty, friends and patrons as well. The tremendous cheering section led by Vaughn Allen, Harry Ford, and Gordon Publow was by far the most loyal and most vocal group present. The signs drawn by Coach Gentry and painted by the faculty wives were the best seen at the tournament. Each member of the team responded to this support and each contributed significantly to the team’s success. Seniors of this year’s squad can remember their last season with pride, and BGA, with its great tournament records of the past, can be justly proud of this team.

WILDCAT WRESTLERS This year’s edition of B.G.A. wrestlers was a team which never reached its full potential. As expected the Wildcat grapplers started off by clawing their way to victory over Franklin and Ryan. Then followed a tie with the always tough Tennessee School for the Blind. Against arch-rival M.B.A. the Wildcats lost a pain- fully close decision, but bounced back to de- feat a strong team from Donelson. After the Christmas break the lack of depth and experi- ence began to catch up with the Cats. When troubles came, they kept coming, as four key B.G.A. wrestlers were obliged to sit out the rest of the season for reasons of academic deficien- cies and illness. From here on out the Wild- cats had to scramble to break even. They reached their greatest moment by placing sec- ond in the Nashville Invitational Tournament with two individual champs: Kelly Lish and Jack Staples. Tum 84 STATE TOURNAMENT TEAM To every wrestler the highlight of the season is the State Tournament. The Wildcat Grapplers who qualified in the Region and traveled to Chat- tanooga to represent B.G.A. were the team’s most consistently winning wrestlers.

Its purpose is to bring together young men for constructive discussion of the application of Chris- tian principles to everyday life. Although composed primarily of boys who are interested in athletics, the F.C.A. is open to all boys who wish to participate. The Thursday morning “‘hud- dle sessions” offer a forum for religious discussion, a fellowship for boys faced by common problems, and a chance to reinforce one’s religious convictions.

As dormitory proctors, these boys are responsi- ble for the behavior of the other dormitory stu- dents. They can often solve problems which teachers cannot, simply because they are usually closer to the students. In order to fulfill this responsibility, these boys must have high moral character and the respect and esteem of their fel- low students. They are chosen according to these qualifications. : Mr. Donald E.

After centuries of dreaming, hoping, and trying, I was the first man to stand on the Moon. Actually the honor which I would receive should belong to another. I was a swab jockey at Cape Seaton (formerly Cape Kennedy—it seemed that every president who came along changed the name of the place) and was cleaning out the capsule Preparatory to the Moon flight when my assistant, Brad Hume, accidently hit the button with his mop handle while he was cleaning the control tower. As I blasted off, I naturally thought the brass down below would scrub the flight, but the chief directors —Bill McClanahan and Danny Rodgers—decided to try to make the best of things, and the mission was continued. After all, janitors were expendable. From where I stood, the Earth was enormous. I could see the continents and all the islands clear- ly with my naked eye. The rivers were clearly visi- ble. And with the powerful telescope I had brought along, I could even see people. I pointed the telescope toward Washington, D. C. There was President Seaton walking down Pennsylvania Avenue with some of his chief aides. I could see Republican Party leader Don Hunter and Secretary of Indian Affairs, Chief Truitt. There was some guy walking along behind with a sign on his back, “I’m the greatest”, who proved to be Bill Sutherland. Also visible was Farmer Jackson, Secre- tary of Agriculture. As the heads of state went up the steps of the Capitol, they were met by Vice- President Bray and a group of cheering citizens, led by Vaughn Allen. I looked away from Washington and northwest to the Great Lakes, and focused on the home base of the Green Bay Packers. There was coach Jack Lee running his boys through a brutal practice. I could see Cannonball Calvin racking up the offense. Bobby Patterson had discovered that he could put his high-jumping talents to work, and avoid Calvin’s bruising tackles. But rifle-arm Thompson was hay- Ing a rough time getting passes away. Most of the ones he got off were intercepted by the defense. I then took a look at the old hole itself. It was the afternoon before the final dance, and down at the gym the band was arriving. There was “Mr. Guitar” himself, Randy Rudolph, and Trim “Buffalo” Beasley. Loy Hardcastle had his drums there. Another member of the band, George Wal- lace, had not made it. Wirt Harlin had been driv- Ing down the road with Harmon Hays, playing “London, England” when he piled into George. The photographers drove up, “Flashbulb” Hanson and Ricky Peterson. The headmaster, Mickey Bea- dle, was strutting around checking on things and looking important, having been taught by a master. The world was turning, so I had to move on. In San Francisco, I noticed a basketball team prac- ticing. The Coach, Wink Cherry, had some profes- sional players demonstrating various skills to his high school team. John Gifford showed amazing coordination as he dribbled full speed down the court behind his back with a blindfold on. Ken Tar- kington showed professional poise as he gracefully executed a lay-up. Up in the stands “Goose” Smith and “Candy” Kain were doing an outstanding job of grandstand coaching. Down in Los Angeles, I looked down on Breck Wyatt’s nightclub. Felix Treadway, a former professional boxer, was the bouncer of this institu- tion; and at the moment was having some trouble. Wild Man Keith was inside and had become a little rowdy, and Treadway was throwing him out. Up on the stage was man of all talents, Jim Dyer. Keith was finally evicted from Wyatt’s night- club. He immediately crossed the street and entered the Pink Palace, a rival joint. Jerry Carter was the proprietor of the Palace, and Ross Crutcher, his bouncer, was less efficient; so Keith would have no trouble here. In another part of Los Angeles, a Chamber of Commerce meeting was in progress. Ralph White- man and David Johnson, presidents of Reynolds and American Tobacco Companies, respectively, were engaged in a heated debate. Other business lead- ers present were Perry Shields, vice-president of Anheuser-Busch, and Mike Rudder. marine de- signer. I looked toward Hawaii, and saw Tony Tra- bue’s pineapple plantation. There were Trabue and Park Brandon sitting on the veranda of Tony’s mansion. Bryan Long and Garath Matthews were trying to keep the two millionaires entertained with an endless variety of jokes, most of which were fall- ing flat. The two Brown boys, Dan and Paul, were working in the kitchen of the villa; and the butler, Gordon Publow, was trying to keep them from straining spaghetti on his tennis raquet. Over in New Guinea the United States was fighting the Red Chinese in another limited-action war. The Marines were there, fighting furiously for the freedom of New Guinea. Behind the lines at the command post, Major General Rogers and some of his aides were planning an offensive. Colonel Mc- Gugin, graduate of West Point, offered suggestions freely, most of which were ridiculous. Lieutenant Colonel Kousser also offered suggestions; and as each one was turned down he almost left. The meet- ing was completed; and Majors Bland, Crosby, and Grissom took the plans back to their batallions. Bland had a hard time explaining the plans to his men. Sergeant Woods kept asking, “What if they do thus-and-so?”, and Sergeant Howser kept getting mad. Outside the battle zone, Rob Sturdivant was trying to convince privates Rosson and Hill that he had killed three Chinese with one shot. Nearby, Corporals Rutherford and Smith were telling new- comer Clyde “Camel” Redford what to do when at- tacked. Sam told him to run, and Willie told him to wrestle. Back on the moon, I was ready to leave. But my gear only included enough equipment to get to the moon, not back. I would have to wait a few months until the next moon flight. I curled up under the capsule to get some sleep. —BILL WHITE Page 201 her x we} In November the student body “adopted” the 151 st Transport Co. and attem pted to show its sup- port for our fighting men in Vietnam. In October the Hamburger Supper provided the parents a chance to meet the faculty.

The Social Committee provided the student body with numerous informal dances which were enjoyed by all. | t = ee eke Py bites) be fey e bes} ize We, the Senior Class, feel that our maturity and sparkling appearance warrant certain privileges.

First, we thank those students who sold ads, for through their effort we have had more money to work with than any editors in the CANNON BALL’s history. Sec- ondly, we thank the students and parents of seniors who contributed snapshots to be used for the humorous portion of the yearbook. We thank the members of the CAN- NON BALL staff, especially Brad Hume, Gordon Publow, Trim Beasley, Bill Pem- berton, and our photographers, Joe Hanson, Jack Lee, and Allen Muse. Finally, we thank our sponsor, Mr. Patterson, without whose experience and guidance the an- nual would not have been possible.
