The work of the pa st year which has made pos- sible the production of the 1968 CANNoN BALL de- manded much from everyone involved. ‘These ef- forts and their product are dedicated to Mr. Billy L. Bradshaw. All of us will remember Mr. Bradshaw as he was in his basement classroom. He sat in the chair that was always beside his desk and never behind it. His hands were sometimes folded as he gazed at the ceiling, trying to think of an answer for a trou- blesome question. He lined his books up between two inert bombshells. You remember the titles: Black and Conservative, Red Spies in the U.N., and all the others. He never hid his political views; instead, his candid viewpoints and ours often provided material for friendly discussions, mild controversies, and sometimes even heated ar- guments. Outside the classroom, Mr. Bradshaw was hardly inactive. He was our tennis coach. In fact, he had more than a passing interest in the sport. During the school year he built courts, and during the summer he taught people how to play the game at Hillwood. But more important than all this was the view- point that Mr. Bradshaw introduced to us: Things were either right or wrong and good ends never justified bad means. We may have disagreed with it, but we had to think about it. And that is what we will remember Mr. Bradshaw for in the end: we had to think about what he said. 4 t OR, ES POneno A names wn i Aes 5. 9 os Ne OO Sra, 3 3: Kz %) as ‘s oF oe (3 wy ew) Nee enw % oe ee — © ‘ i} .

Late August and the days were dry. There was dust on the morning roads, but the trees by the practice field across from the gym were still green. The after- noons were cool and good to yawn in. But on the last day of August, on a good morning, all of us went to the school. Registration. There were a lot of people there you had never seen before. Old students recog- nized old teachers and sized up the new ones. Mr. Smithson made a few of his predictable attacks on some of his favorite targets. Long-suffering Mr. Reynolds told you when you would take P.E. Familiar things were still with us. Woodrow Wil- son’s picture was still on top of the display case in the war museum, along with the gas masks and a “fragment from a bronze Nazi eagle.” The build- ing itself had not softened any; the walls were still painted in severe white and battleship gray. The — commissary and environs were still green. Room One belonged to Mr. Bragg; and Pete Gracey, All-American, continued to glare at all the people who walked by him. Ah, yes. Tradition. Good stuff. The only things missing were the ivy on the outside walls and the pile of cannonballs that used to be in front of each cannon out on the front lawn. School began the next week. No matter who you were, you got a desk in study hall. The writ- ing surface was garnished with choice carvings and epithets. It was impossible to write on using only a pen and piece of paper, since you would hit a carved out space every few seconds. The Seniors were placed in the back of the study hall. As the days became colder, the noise of the heating fan in the back effectively drowned out Mr. Redick and the assorted chapel speakers. Despite all our efforts the season progressed. “A strong body takes the mind strong.” | THOMAS JEFFERSON JiMMy GENTRY Athletic Director B1iLL CHERRY BILL SMITH ROBERT GENTRY Football, Track Basketball, Baseball Football Over the years Battle Ground has established a repu- tation for building men physically as well as mentally. Outstanding coaching staffs have always been indicative of the athletic programs at B.G.A. This year’s staff was more qualified and more diversified than any in the school’s history. Letters were offered in eight varsity sports, including football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, tennis, swimming, golf, and track. Each of these sports was supervised by one or more members of the coaching staff. Although many of the teams did not rate as well as some of the past, each sport had its individual stand- outs. Buzz Hamilton was named to the All-Midstate football squad and awarded a scholarship to Vanderbilt University. Allen Anderson was invited to participate in the TSSAA All-Star football game. Many of the ath- letes were commended by the press weekly for their out- standing performances. “These things must be the result of the attention of trained coaches.

Color. Music. Action! A_ shrill whistle. Kickoff. First down. Tension. Anticipation. Touchdown! Hysteria. But is it good? Yes. 7 to 0. Defense. A long pass. Interception? No.7 to 7. Letdown. But a cheer helps. We're Up! Halftime already? Aromas abound. Fresh hot popcorn. A Coke soothes the irritated throat. Discussion. And in the locker room, more discussion. Tighten up on defense! Fifty-five should go. Block that middle linebacker! Let’s go! Back on the field. Turf’s not so fresh. Footing’s bad around the thirty. Sweat? Pressure? You bet! And who cares? It’s play- ing that counts. Fourth quarter, now. Exhaustion. But you've got to keep going. Harder. Faster. Quicker. ‘Got to get in. On the three. Last chance. Sprint-at-two. He’s over! Hold ‘em. Minutes. Seconds. 5-4-3-2-1-0. Victory! Intense, gripping—this is the world of football. No matter whether you win or lose, the feeling is there. And strange things happen, too. Men become boys, and boys become men. Follow us now as we trace the path of the 1967 Wildcats! It started in early August. The days were not as hot as those in previous years. The cool breezes made the practices more bearable but no easier. We again suffered through camp. No changes here. The linemen’s green cabins were still a good thirty yards from the latrine, and the fresh morn- ing dew still melted into the lower atmosphere to make the field as muggy as it was hot. It only lasted a week, though, and we returned to face Hendersonville. Over forty-five hundred fans jammed the Com- mandos’ new stadium to see if the defending state champions were as good as their title. Elizer’s long run was the only Hendersonville offense generated in the first half. It was good enough to give our opponents a 6 to 0 halftime edge. The situation was remedied in the second half as Brother Camp- bell scored twice, capping long drives. The defen- sive charges of Allen Anderson, Buzz Hamilton, John Moran, and Jimmy Rader were too much for the wearied Commandos. They led the defensive effort that stopped Hendersonville’s last minute drive. We won, 13 to 6. Page 20 Springfield was big and tough. The rains that started that afternoon were ominous. They lasted throughout the game, making the ball slick and hard to handle. The defense did a creditable job, but we couldn’t get our offense moving. The Yel- low Jackets “upset” us 14 to 0. We were downcast, but Buzz soothingly reminded us, “We've got a lot of games to play. 9 and 1 won't be such a bad sea- son!” We all emphatically agreed. The next three weeks passed slowly. We fell to Lawrenceburg (19 to 7), Deshler (7 to 0), and powerful Clarksville (55 to 7). We couldn't go to a bowl now, but there was still time left to win games. Shelbyville was a team we could beat. The offense finally started to move. David Gerth broke through the line several times for fine gains. The defense was strong. With any kind of luck we could have won, but luck was not with us and we salvaged a 13 to 13 tie. While not being a victory, it was certainly not a defeat. Words of praise after the game encouraged us to try for victories in the coming weeks. Herrington, H. ager Wright.

We kept the ball in their territory early in the game, but could only score once. In the second half Buzz Hamilton single-handedly took a long pass from Steve Mitchell to score. It was not enough, though. The next week the B-team merged with us, and we formed offensive and defensive platoons. That Friday night at Lebanon the defense had its finest game of the season. Allen, Buzz, John, and Jimmy again led the charge with Phil Martin, David Gerth, and Buddy Parker close behind. Lebanon could manage only one drive that night, a long one in the third quarter. It was all they needed, though, and we fell 6 to 0. True, the season had been somewhat disap- pointing up to this point; however, we now were awarded an opportunity to alleviate our sins. Stratford was an N.I.L team, and if we could beat them and they could beat M.B.A. in the Clinic Bowl. ..! Rains came that afternoon along with a cold wave. A strong wind whipped across J. B. Akin Field, permeating each body with the damp cold. The crowd was somewhat small—some twen- ty-odd students—but we didn’t care. We had come to play football. Harry Blackburn scored all our points on a field goal, a touchdown, and an extra point. Between these, Stratford managed to toss a double-reverse touchdown pass to a quarterback, sustain two long drives, kick a field goal, and thus outscore us 21 to 10. We lost to Jackson the next week 40 to 0, ending our season. We had started in August with great expectations. The season then proceeded to grind away with every de- feat. The Wildcat fan who followed the team through- out the season did have some pleasant moments. Allen would always hit somebody hard in every game. The sound of his tackles could sometimes be heard high in the stands. Buzz and Jimmy made fine pass receptions. Of course, somebody had to throw the ball, namely Brother or “Mitch.” Nobody worked harder in the line than John Moran. The opposition just didn’t move Johnny. He couldn’t do it all, though. And nobody worked harder in the backfield than David Gerth. In fact, all of us worked, for there was little time for slack on the field. Page 26 Our championship balloon had been completely deflated, but the season was not a total loss. For those who remained, there was always next year. The Seniors could not help but be somewhat frus- trated with our record. However, we were privi- leged to be a part of one of Tennessee’s greatest high school football teams ever during our Junior year. ‘This in itself was enough to outweigh the memories of ten losing seasons like this one. Lessons were learned in defeat, too. Most of us learned that while playing the game was well worth the effort, victory was far superior to defeat. ‘ ry : � s . ¥ : : ‘ - Fs - ee 8G a A .

The Wildcat B-team under the direction of . a : aa ¥ coach Harold Kennedy ended its season with , a Yaw. a winning 3-2 record. Halfback Nate Green Wiss ran for most of the team’s touchdowns. “Mouse” Church added a couple with his alert defensive play. The offense was sparked by the blocking of Doug “Raw Jaws” Thomp- son and Chris Ross. Defense, however, was the highlight of the team. The team’s “Buddy-Buddy” lineback- ers—namely, Buddy Allen and Buddy Parker —came through with key tackles. In one in- stance the latter tackled a Castle Heights run- ner, causing him to fumble. The ever alert Doug Thompson picked the ball up and ran 30 yards. When an opposing player came close to tackling him, Doug wisely chose to throw the ball over his head. After a short chase Dan Gentry picked it up and dashed to the five where he was halted. The team scored two plays later. In summary, the Wildcats rolled over Cas- tle Heights twice: 28-0 and 21-0. They pulled out a close one with Lebanon—winning 21-18. But a heartbreaker was lost to arch-rival Franklin in the last minute, 13-7. The other loss was to C.M.A., 19-7. rTieonaun7 Co-Captain Bill Armistead; Coach Kennedy; and Doug Thompson. Page 28 oF eh igi a ¢ facsitMad (ie .

Their record is not a proper judgment of the talent and spirit of the team. Some standouts of the team and future var- sity prospects were: Broderson, Philpot, Hall, Phipps, Duke, and Thomason. With these boys moving up to the varsity we can expect good teams for the next three years. It wasn’t a bad year for parties. The Seniors had established a precedent in the winter of their Junior year when they persuaded the faculty to allow the sponsorship of a combo after a basketball game. It was such a success that they decided to continue the practice this year. For the first after- game party Buzz announced, “We’re bringing in a band all the way from Nashville.” The band was one of the many Nashville Shadows, and they per- formed well. The next combo was the best. ‘The Exotics agreed to perform after the Shelbyville game for a nominal sum. They played in their usual smooth, professional manner, which brought comments from the crowd such as, “How did we manage to get somebody that good?” Nobody ex- pected the performance that the up-and-coming Rubber Band, featuring our own Jere Ellis, gave : after the Jackson game. When Mr. Cobb finally : turned off the lights, they turned on their strobe : light and “psyched out” to the tune of Jimi Hend- rix’s ‘“Purple Haze.” Page 30 “Chere was the sound of revelry by night... Che lamp shone o'er fair momen and brave men.” LORD BYRON The fat-cat Seniors finally relinquished spon- sorship rights to the needy Juniors, who had cor- rectly accused their older classmates of having a monopoly on combo profits. ‘Their first effort was neatly snowed-out after the M.B.A. basket- ball game, but they finally succeeded in present- ing the Rubber Band, again, after the Peabody game. ‘Their profits were due mainly to the ex- cellent supervision of Senior Johnny Moran; however, Bill Armistead showed great promise of becoming a future combo baron. The Seniors sponsored only one _ private party. Buzz asked for persons to suggest a place for the function, and Edna Wade’s house was volunteered. It was no quantitative success as only about ten to twelve couples came. They managed to entertain themselves, though, to the soft mellow music of Johnny Mathis’ “Small World,” “The Flame of Love,” et. al. Occa- sionally a wise guy would try to play “Tempta- tions’ Greatest Hits,’’ but the situation would soon be corrected. The Seniors showed their appreciation to Edna by naming her the first “Senior Sweetheart” for the Wildcat. ed ee Oe THE WILDCAT STAFF—Left to Right: Lovell, Taylor, Minor, Lynch, Rogers, Gordon, Hume, Johnson, Dudley, This year the newspaper looked a little differ- ent. On the front page, it always had: a full size picture. The headline was in large Old English script. This eliminated the need to have any writ- ing on the front page. The funny part of the paper was what everybody read, to see if it was funny or not. Since most the stories were about and for the boarders, the day boys often drew a blank. Of course, the jokes had to be obscure, since the teachers read the paper too. Or did they? Page 32 Moore. It was important to remember that there were several bounds in this sort of journalistic work which could hardly be ignored. Potential muck- rakers were frustrated in their attempts to expose various forms of evil—or whatever they didn’t like. Someday they would move on to better places where their powers of expression would not be hampered. On the Wildcat, however, people—at least a few—learned to consider the possible effects of the words they wrote. “Worlds of fine thinking liv bnwied in that vast abyss [Nemapapers] neuer to be disentombed Or restored to human admiration.” THOMAS DE QUINCEY GLENN OSBORNE, Copy Editor; TOMMY LAWRENCE, Sports Edi- tor; GARY POwERS, Features Editor.

Last year, no one seemed too concerned about not having one. Now it is back with a new title. This was chiefly Mr. Byrd’s doing. People wondered what he was up to at first, when they could hear him singing all through the building in the afternoon. It sounded nice, but you couldn’t understand all the words. No matter, Mr. Byrd had his chorus going. The boys in it gave a program right before Christmas and it made the Senior Play anticlimactic. Well, not really. But it was pretty good. The chorus also performed at several churches in the area, im- proving the school’s image and gaining the good will of many.

We brought our clothes, record players, radios, and musical instruments and found a place for them in our rooms (some small, some large) . There were more new faces than usual, and many of the old ones were gone. Mr. Patterson explained the intricate rules and regulations to us again in study hall. There were some new rules; many old ones were revised. He told us about weekend leaves and R.O.T.C. (Right on this campus). The new boys were terrified; the older ones were still afraid, but they knew that his bark was worse than his bite. We were told that this was the finest group of boarders ever assembled at B.G.A.; but soon we began to give them trouble, especially in the new dorm. Late lights were taken away and leaves were cancelled. We were the same bad boys we had been in the years before. Many got time for being “red-blooded American boys”; they were just participating in a little horseplay. The proctors were appointed by Mr. Patterson to keep order in the dorms. Sometimes they were the very people who caused the disorder. They were the “lawmen.” They could give demerits, but they also invented other forms of punishment much more imaginative, which brought an uneasy peace to the battle ground. The shack boys came into the limelight this year. The smokers came up with new, witty say- . ings, such as “How ‘bout chu?” and ‘“Hokay Joe!” Hedden, Folsom, Wolff, Powers, Dempsey, and Johnson were our new, leaders, our heroes. The shack boys ‘were the most colorful group of board- ers on campus. Each dorm had its own characteristics. The old dorm contained the urchins. Some were pitiful; others were O.K. The urchins always kept their rooms cleaner than the older boys. ‘The proctors kept them in line with a little physical persuasion occasionally, but this was soon stopped. Many of the smaller boys found it hard to adjust to the life in the dorms. The new dorm, or the Senior dorm, housed more Juniors than Seniors. ‘There was much horseplay after lights, but the culprits were captured only a few times. “Raw Jaws” Thompson and “Simple” Gant challenged the whole dorm to a fight but were only laughed at. Parker was the iron man and paraded down the hall showing his magnificent build. Folsom, Powers, and Johnson, along with Wolff and Hedden from the house, held soul sessions in which they did the “boogaloo’”’ to the popular tunes of the day. The house, was, al- most without fail, late for breakfast. Huffman washed his face; Brantley sang his songs. Actually, this year was not unlike many others as far as the boarders were concerned, except that, for a few of us, it was our last year.

The sky was grey and held rain which never came. The green maples bent in the wind along Adams Ave- nue as we marched two abreast to see Mr. Thomp- son off. The service was simple; we liked it. When it was over, there were two lines on either side of the street as the cars went by out to the cemetery. Mr. Thompson had left us behind in the world. Even after he had gone, there was still talk of him. People still asked where the other nine were and they still remembered Lige, Moses, and Aaron. Few people are lucky enough to be mimicked after they have gone. There was no irreverence; only good memories and respect based on knowledge of a man whose life needs no eulogy. , — a il Fe Lal i AN ‘ “a ‘ “Speech is the mirror of the soul, As the man, so is his speech.” PUBLIUS SYRUS Remember what Mrs. Duke always said? “Speech is communication.” That was what she said, all right. Every morning in chapel, there she would be. “Mr. Redick, I’d like to see... .” She would bring you into the room on the right side of the study hall and listen to what you had to say. Perhaps you stood on the platform, surrounded by George Armistead’s current events posters and old copies of Harper’s. When you were speaking, you might pause long enough to see who was walking to or from the old dorm. After you were through, Mrs. Duke would always offer you her opinion, al- ways mentioning what you did right along with your mistakes. If you were a freshman, speech was not such a casual affair. It was a class in which you got a sampling of all types of Mrs. Duke’s communica- tion—debate, extemporaneous speaking, and poetry and prose interpretation. It left you with an appreciation for what you could say. Forensics Director Mrs. E. C. Duke The Freshman Speech Members If you were a boarder, you had a roommate who would usually torment you whether you persecuted him or not. You began to look forward to the weekends as you never had before. You began to get sick of the place. Day student or boarder, the newness soon wore off as work turned into drudgery and last minute scribbling before fifth period, or whenever the work was due. With the three-thirty bell, you had a respite from the routine of school. You could then plunge into the routine of football practice, or studying. Perhaps you were one of those commis- sary gourmets. Quite a choice from the red ma- chines! Full Dinner, Cheezers, Peanut Butter Toast, Eat-a-Snax! After your repast, there was al- ways the television with the movies, if you hap- pened to be a cinema aficionado. La Dolce Vita, eh? The Seniors began to worry about college. For them there were applications, forms with blank spaces and confusing questions which demanded answers and admitted no delay. There were dead- lines, fees, and uncertainties. There were choices to make, and sometimes you didn’t want to choose. A, B, C, or D? One-hour time limit, remember. Hurry. The season ended with the last football game. It was getting darker earlier. The rains came. The wind was louder and colder. There was little time left in the year; there was little time left in the decade.

It rained, and the black tree branches shone in the lights from the dormitories at night. The days were damp with an unfriendly cold. People began to bother you more if you did not bother them. Winter hal to be waited out. There were things that helped, but you had to stay busy. The teachers helped with that. You had proofs and equations and questions and themes. Five days a week and Sunday night. They could be ignored for a while until all the questions on a test were the ones you didn’t know. The high windows in George I. Briggs were on at night, for the sun set early. Basketballs and running feet shook the floor. Wrestlers worked in the lobby on the long black mats. They came out of the place tired and glad to be through for an- other day. They waited for the games and matches. They won and lost ‘and learned a little. The weekends had a character made from re- membered scenes and words. Friday assembly and the good-natured ribbing from the back of the study “hall. This was followed by the check out line up front, where Mr. Patterson stood with a re- lieved grin when he saw you were checking out for the weekend. Then there was time. Here you paid more attention to the clock than usual. Friday night was a basketball game. Crowded stands filled with people who managed to tolerate the referee as long as our team was leading. People who couldn’t find room stood in the door- way and leaned against the walls and moved their heads to see around the people in front. After the second game with M.B.A., you walked into the snow. It filled up the holes in the wire mesh fence around the gym and it flew into your face. You felt light, but then you remembered what was coming, and the snow seemed ominous. The dean of winter draws a line six feet off the ground and anyone who can’t walk under it without stooping gets an undershirt with a number the dean draws another line five feet five inches off the ground and anyone who can walk under it gets a gray shirt and a whistle the tall men do battle throw a ball through a hole ten feet off the ground to the tune of the whistle and one team of tall men loses which is what builds character but the tall men are silent and think that losing helps nobody but the winner. On the Friday afternoon of the Murfreesboro football game, our basketball Wildcats began prac- ticing in preparation for the coming season. Approximately twenty-five boys turned out for the first session. The first few practices consisted of conditioning and ball-handling drills. After four laps around the football field and several trips up and down the stadium steps, we did various exer- cises, some of them contrived by Coach Reynolds. Next we returned to the gym, where a scrimmage took place between the “shirts” and the “skins.” Practices were concluded with a series of running drills while Coach Smith’s hateful whistle kept going on and on. As the days went by, the number of players di- minished, until the final team was selected. We began to prepare for the beginning of the season with a question in our minds as to the future. Our opening battle was with Summertown at the George I. Briggs Athletic Center. Combining a fine cheering section with all the normal first-game tension, we were truly up for the contest and de- feated the Eagles 60-54. Everyone who played turned in a fine performance and it seemed that we were on our way. The following week, we encoun- tered the Howard Rebels in an afternoon home game, which extended our string to two wins in a low scoring battle which ended 47-34. We next en- tertained the highly rated Two Rivers Pirates. In a great effort for an ups€t, we were downed 61-46. Father Ryan, our first opponent away from home, presented the most serious challenge of the young season. The Ryan mentor praised our hustle and desire even though we were defeated 74-49. The Cats were fired up for their next encounter with archrival M.B.A. We defeated the Big Red 65-54, with our tremendous accuracy from the foul line. John Anderson led the team with twenty points, eighteen of which came from the charity line. Hume-Fogg and the Petway brothers were next in line, as they routed us 64-44 in a home gam@. Peabody dealt us another defeat in a close one on the Tigers’ court. In the M.T.I.T. at Franklin High, we played Lebanon, the number seven team in the state. They practically ran us out of the gym as we turned in our worst perform- ance to date. After this game, Coach Smith told us of the work ahead and that we should forget the past games. In preparation for the Franklin battle on Janu- ary 5, the Cats entered practice with renewed vigor. We entered the game determined to show that we could win. Before a packed house at the B.G.A. gym, the Cats played brilliant defense and led the Rebels at halftime by seven points. Disregarding our usual third quarter slump, we continued to hold our lead and stayed ahead until the final sec- onds. The final score was 48-46. Tommy Ashcraft and John Anderson dominated the boards with fif- teen and eleven rebounds respectively. This was doubtless one of the finest performances put on by a Wildcat team during the entire season. Barring a well played win over Summertown, we played poorly during the next month, losing to M.B.A., Hume-Fogg, Lipscomb, and West. Despite Felix Fly’s 29 points and Rick Francis’ 18, Clarksville Woodlawn eked out a victory on their home court, 80-75. THE VARSITY: R. Bennett, J. Witherspoon, T. Ashcraft, ie Anderson, T. Powers, D. Holliday, S. J. Brantley, T. Harper, Coach Smith and his Seniors, John Anderson, Captain Felix Fly, Doug Holliday. T. Harwell, F. Fly, R. Francis, Coach Smith, Manager L. Dale. We were flat during the Peabody game, and our performance there was comparable to the earlier Lebanon contest. In a triple-overtime thriller, we were dealt another loss by Lipscomb, as Harwell, Francis, and Holliday hit clutch shots in the stretch. Following this game, we traveled to Howard, where we lost another close one. Murfreesboro came to George I. Briggs Athletic Center with hope of victory. After a brilliantly played first half, we faltered in the second and suffered our fifteenth defeat. Both teams from Montgomery County, Wood- lawn and Clarksville High, invaded our gym for a weekend double-header. Despite Jimmy Wither- spoon’s twenty-one point effort against Woodlawn and his sixteen against Clarksville, the Montgom- ery Countians prevailed both nights in close con- tests. “Fuzz’’ Bennett kept us in the Clarksville game by hitting four straight baskets in the first half. We closed our regular season with a loss to Two Rivers as the Pirates’ run-and-shoot offense simply proved too much. Tournaments came next and the spirit ran typi- cally high. We drew Fairview for the first round at Franklin High. With the aid of tremendous student body support, we ran out to an early lead. After losing our lead at halftime, we came out the second half ready to play basketball. Behind a thirty point effort by playmaker-captain Felix Fly, we increased our lead to nine points. With ten seconds to go Fly dribbled down the court, through the entire Fairview team. At the final buzzer he hit a spectacular twenty-foot jump shot to make the score 73-62. Franklin followed in perhaps the biggest chal- lenge for both teams. The taller Rebels took con- trol of the game early and never relinquished their lead. It was perhaps not the best way to end a sea- son, for we had not exhibited as fine a performance as we were capable of showing. The season was a disappointment to Coach Smith and the team members. The lessons learned during such a season are invaluable throughout life. Since only three seniors were on this year’s team next year’s will have much more experience. Felix Fly, Doug Holliday, and John Anderson played well during the season and they should be proud of their efforts. Coach Smith also did a fine job with so little material and worked hard to help us improve. We will be looking to great things next year.

Earls, Fighting through a tough losing season, Coach Reynolds left several fine prospects for next year’s varsity from his B-teamers. The record of wins and losses—six of one and a dozen of the other, re- spectively—wasn’t too bad. Dick Lewis was the team’s top scorer and re- bounder. His best game was against Peabody when he scored 34 points. The other starters were forwards Nate Greene and Chris Dodson, and .guards Dwight Lanier and Paul Muncy. Rick Howarth, the top reserve, was cited as the top de- . fensive player. The entire team was valuable as a practice opponent for the varsity. The experience these boys gained should be an asset to them on fu- ture varsity teams. - Page 52 B. Ross, Bratton, Broderson, Manager, THE FROSH: Coach Parsons, Bob Armistead, G. Armistead, spoon, McDaniel, H. Moran, Hoover, Thomason, Smith, Hume, Thune, Wither- Warfield. The Freshman Basketball team had a remarka- bly good season this year amassing a record of 8-3. Coach Parsons, in his first year of coaching, did a fine job with the team. The starting team was composed of Smith, Hoover, Armistead, Broderson, and Thomason. Their only losses were at the hands of Franklin, Clarksville, and Columbia Wit- horne. They beat each of these teams at one part of the season or another. After making it to the semi-finals of the Middle Tennessee ‘Tournament they lost to Withorne. Bill Smith and Jeff Hoover were elected to the all-tournament team from B.G.A. This team holds great prospects for follow- ing years on the basketball court. Two weeks before the football season was over, Kelly Lish had recruited about fifteen wrestlers for the upcoming season. This year’s team had only lost three of last year’s men. Veterans like Gene Lovell, Wilson Manning, Kelly Lish, Mike Minor, Russell Little, Allen Anderson, and Robbie Minor were returning. Barry Goodman, David Gardner, Sterling Minor, and Ed Provost stepped in to fill the vacancies left by last year’s seniors. The whole team had new lessons to learn. This year wrestling had undergone revolutionary changes. It was no longer a sport of strength; now skill played an important part. Experience was also a key factor in winning. Gene Lovell, who won perhaps a couple of matches last year, pinned all of his opponents in the first round before mid- term exams succeeded in putting him off the active list. Coach Gentry worked us long, hard hours. “I want winners,” he declared. “But to be a winner, That we you must leave your guts on the mat.” did. The season final showed us with an 8-4 won-lost record. We lost several close matches; we won a few of the same. Halfway through the season a gas heater was installed in our practice room. That enabled us to practice and sweat off from three to five pounds in a warm room. All of these factors paid off when the tourna- ments rolled around. The N.I.L. Invitational Tourney was the first big chance to prove ourselves. Having lost four grapplers to mid-term exams, we finished in fourth place. The Cats provided two champions in Kelly Lish and Allen Anderson. Russell Little and Robbie Minor won second place berths in their divisions. Barry Goodman placed fourth and Ed Provost third in their respective groups. Next came the Regional Tournament. We practiced twice as hard for this.one. We wanted a good showing for the state. Captain Kelly Lish led the team through extra calisthenics. We wrestled longer on the practice mat. We sweated more. We hurt. First Row: Goodman, Fisher, Manning, Lish, Sparkman, Minor. Yop Row: A.

Charlie Haffner failed to make his weight. This was a bad omen for the team. Recently beaten opponents made a stronger showing than we had expected. After the smoke had cleared, our two N.I.L. champions had been dethroned. Allen was put into second place and Kelly had to fight for third. Russell came through for the lone Re- gional Championship. The rest of the team had seen their last matches as they lost in the prelimi- naries and quarter-finals. Hope was not lost. Although we had only three representatives for State honors, they were all strong contenders. The first round matches showed all three Wildcats still in competition. But the fate- ful quarter-finals put all three out. Allen and Rus- sell missed the finals by only one point each. Now all three men had to wrestle again to qualify for the consolation finals. Kelly lost—his last match of the season. Allen and Russell won so they each faced one more opponent to end their high school careers. That night, Allen came through to place third among state wrestlers. Russell lost to place fourth. It was over. Everyone could now eat without fear of being overweight for the match. No more grueling hours of practice. This year’s team left only one thing for next year’s grapplers: Valuable experience.

They were also given a chance to win rec- ognition for themselves and the school in various events. These included debate, extemporaneous speaking, prose and poetry interpretation, and orig- inal oratory. Steve Horrell and Bill Lloyd placed first among the private schools in debate. The Sophomore debate team, composed of Jack Howser and Jim Livingstone, finished with a respectable 3- 3 record, while Mark Faircloth gained recognition for his readings of Eliot. Battle Ground’s two ex- temporaneous speakers, Tommy Lawrence and Glenn Osborne, did well in their events. Glenn gained a place in the semifinals while Tommy made it all the way to the finals. Late nights were the rule after each day of competition. Mrs. Duke always saw that the boys never overslept. Her voice over the telephone was an unwelcome rouser every morning. Sunday morning, Mrs. Duke had the Emory team off with the sun. : BARKLEY FORUM—‘Sitting, Left to Right: Glenn Osborne, Glenn, Bill Lloyd.

But our record was a little mis- leading. We lost this year, but our margins of de- feat were smaller. We lost, but we lost by fewer points than we used to. We lost. The team had two bright spots: Sam Wauford and the four-hundred yard freestyle relay team. The former promised great things in future years, while the latter did well this year. They won the event in all their dual meets and brought home a fourth-place finish from the State Meet at Knox- ville.

Practice was not unendurable. The first fifty or a hundred yards you swam were good. You were fast and felt that way as you took the turns with a long underwater glide. Afterwards, it began to hurt as each race drained you. The water that was fairly smooth at the beginning turned rough and slapped against the walls. Perhaps you would swal- low a big wave on the third lap of a sprint and sputter around until you had recovered. When practice was over, Coach Reynolds would give a sharp whistle that was loud enough for those in the water to hear. The last sprint that every swimmer had in practice was the run through the icy corri- dor that went by the wrestling room. Most boarding students subscribe to the theory that there is little beauty in Franklin, Tennessee, between November and the middle of March. Winter at Battle Ground made you love summer. Everything died but the flies, the students, and the man on duty. Every morning your window would show you the brown grass and the white buildings. Your breakfast jam was either Smuckers or United Institutional Distributers and your toast was hard. After you cleaned your room it still seemed dirty. The dust was capable of reproduction. Countless details like these made life difficult, so amusements had to be found. Mr. Peel’s gearshift knob was kidnapped and held for ransom. Mr. Redick was surprised to hear what sounded like a bowling ball roll down the length of the second floor in the new dorm as he was eating dinner below one night in January. There was ice skating on funky Ever- bright right before exams. One fellow was knocked cold and several others were incapacitated, since the ice was rather slippery. Page 62 The ping-pong tables that were brought in to- wards the end of February helped matters some. Then there were the timeless tricks. Say you had a weekend leave and your roommate had to stay Fri- -day night. You could borrow three or four alarm clocks, put them on your dresser, and set each one to go off fifteen minutes apart, beginning at one o’clock in the morning. Fiendish, eh? Then there were the usual weapons of dorm warfare. Shaving cream was a big favorite, although it was hardly accurate at long distances. Effective as a terror weapon was the simple can of Right-Guard which could be turned into a flamethrower. All you needed was a cigarette lighter. And then there was that unspeakable evil, card-playing. If you really got bored in spite of all these amusements, there was always the chance to skip campus. So onward, Briggs House, Old Dorm, and Coverdale Hall! Through December into February and _ beyond! Continue to incubate the leaders of tomorrow in your vast white confines! Page 63 Occasionally we were rewarded for our menial labors with musical entertainment in assembly. Besides Ramsey. The first came in early December when the Harpeth Hall Glee Club presented its Christmas program. ‘The previous year we had been very boorish in our standing ovations, whis- tles, and catcalls following every song. The singers had been noticeably embarrassed; so this year we resolved to be a more sophisticated audience. We overdid it a bit, though, and refused to applaud at all. The already frightened girls were bewildered by our seemingly apathetic acceptance. Finally, after “Calypso Noel,” the fifth song, Mr. Redick and Mr. Akin started an applause in the rear that Page 64 moved slowly forward until the entire student body was clapping. The girls responded with their best song, “Sleigh Ride,” and left. February came and with it the famous Grand Ole Opry. Early in the month Coach Bobby Gen- try arranged the performance of Sam McGee, one of the finest flattop Country and Western pickers in the business. Mr. McGee was one of the oldest performers on the Opry at that time. His adapta- tions of pop and folk songs (“Yackity-Sax,” “Blow- ing in the Wind’) were good, but he was best on songs from his own field. His fingers moved freely over the frets as he played song after song at our in- sistence. Huffman didn’t even know Archie Campbell when he called the comedian-singer to talk in as- sembly. But Mr. Campbell agreed to come. His nasal tones pervaded the study hall as he told of his train ride to Battle Ground from Knoxville (he lived just outside of Franklin). After his frac- tured fairy tale, ““Rindercella,” he called for help from our audience. We forwarded Jerry “The Chicken” Church to back Mr. Campbell up on “The Cockfight”; and, of course, Jerry stole the show. Mr. Campbell finished by singing “Scarlet Ribbons,” seriously. He praised us as an audience, and we reciprocated with one of our few standing ovations of the year. After all, it was a good assem- bly program. hast cle sche a 8 ‘ “Don’t you remember me, Mr, Redick? I’m Presiden t of the “Battle Ground will become a real battle ground before il Honor Council.” becomes a boogie ground!” Preparations for the Senior Play started early. As much as four days before the actual perform- ance the “actors” were starting to practice. Of course, Jud was responsible for the script, fifty-per- cent of which he wrote in one weekend. From the literary critics’ standpoint, it was a masterpiece. The “isosceles triangle” development of the plot caused many script-readers to compare the play to Shakespeare’s great Macbeth. Unlike Shakespeare, though, Jud lacked the great actors and the appre- ciative audiences of the Elizabethan Age; thus, th e resulting post-performance judgment: “It was a . good play, but not a great play.” The jocularity began with a comparison of the . and remember, boys, we don’t, discriminate. I don’t care if he’s Catholic, Protestant, or Jew, the Negro is equally low!” “Mr. Redick, I don’t remember any rule like that.” “Myr, Redick, why was the French Revolution so bloody?” U.S. History classes. The plot seemed to drag dur- ing the “comparison tests,’ but this ended with Federal Marshal Eddie Harr is’ delivery of the in- citement of the play: a U. S. Court Order to inte- grate B.G.A. From here the action increased sharply through the Student-body and faculty meet- ings. When Mr. Redick (Steve Chambers) cast the deciding vote to keep B.G.A. segregated, bloodshed appeared inevitable. The genius of Jud at this point should have be- come evident to everyone as he maneuvered the op- posing forces against each other and _ finally achieved a denouement in which the entire faculty was killed, the “againsts’” by the “poison ‘possum “Yes, integrate it. That will give me more students to hate!” AD ioe Le MY ESSER IORI ig pie,” and the “fors” by the guns of the confused Federal Marshal. The action then fell off sharply as the Seniors found themselves in Hell, which closely resembled B.G.A. They were then tortured by the various classes of the school. The original ending saw Ramsey being pushed out the window by the irate Mr. Smithson (John Turner) ; how-7 ever, the second-story placement of the stage made this impractical. Thus, Bill was forced to improvise his own surprise ending, which he.did admirably by ramming his knee through the front window. Unfortunately, the genius of our own playwright, Jud Rogers, was soon forgotten as everyone left for the Christmas holidays. “There’s only one thing to do, and that’s flip a coin!” UTA en eee eererere aren H Semester examinations. Ah, yes. Days of reckoning, when the sheep were separated from the goats. Each week had a special name. The first one was known as the Mid-term. ‘The second week, which came in late May, was the Final Exam week. It was softened by the green and balmy days, but the dan- ger was still there. Going back to the Mid-term Exams, we remember that the snow fell three days before they were to start. The snow opened possibilities for the board- ers. Suppose it continued to snow and the roads would be blocked Monday? And Tuesday? Conditions would be so bad that even McGee and Bradshaw would not dare to make the run, let alone Steve Chambers. So the boarders would be able to take their exams while the day boys would be stranded in Nash- ville. Then, the boarders would enjoy a holiday for part of the next week while the others made up their exams. Those plans came to naught as the buses and day students braved the roads Monday. The ways people took the tests were interesting. Some set to work immedi- ately, scribbling wildly and not looking up. Others would begin with a massive yawn. After this they would look at the ceiling and smile or shut their eyes. Another yawn and they would start. It was a short test, and there was plenty of time to take it. Sometimes it was al- most boring. OFFICERS On the other hand we had the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. During the fall this group in- vited everyone in the student body to join its ranks. As usual, an unusually large number of boys filed out the back door to see what this F.C.A. was all about. In previous years, many had re- turned to assembly; but this year not so many re- traced their paths to the seats of the study hall. They found that our F.C.A. had grown and ma- tured in its four years at Battle Ground. stayed. The F.C.A.was divided into “huddle groups.” They Each group had an older student in control. Then topics were discussed. Serious topics. God . Christ. Life. Death. Immortality. Things that were hidden were uncovered as each individual ex- amined himself. Conclusions were drawn. Understandings were developed. | Those who stayed found their twenty minutes well-spent. Most were able to transfer their learnings into their day-to-day lives and influence sounder rela- tionships among others. This way, the F.C.A. ben- efited the entire student body. OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES: Paul Muncy, Joe Lester, Steve Chambers, David Gerth. | | Student Body President Felix Fly, Sponsor W. P. Redick Many clubs and organizations held meetings with some degree of regularity. The Honor Coun- cil was not like this. The members met only as the occasion required, but they seldom lacked occa- sions. Of course, they had to be needed. You see, many times situations arose which were not of suf- ficient gravity to engage the interests of the mem- bers. On occasions like these, the Discipline Com- mittee, a supplementary organization, took over. Much deliberation was given to the selection of Council members, who had to possess abilities in many fields. Petty considerations could not inter- fere when the time to vote came; and, by a unique arrangement, the Constitution of the Council pro- vided for a wide field of candidates representing both the wishes of the students and the demands of the faculty. This group of young men dispensed fine justice during the nine months that they held office at Battle Ground.

Not where you wanted to be. Opportunities for working off de- merits were plentiful. The supply of dead leaves in the front yard of the Briggs house was inex- haustible. Boys working there every weekend from November to March hardly made a dent in the re- serve. The cold weather often made washing cars out of the question. So the teachers had dirty autos and you had to find another job. There were more holidays in the winter. They made the time better. The two weeks at Christmas were best when you were waiting for them to come and when you remembered them afterward. They were too short. Every day you would figure how many days were left. You fixed the halfway mark and estimated the time when the holidays would be three-fourths over. But you had to return. Blue jeans made an appearance in force in the beginning of the calendar year. They were best with cowboy boots, and the snow and ice served as a convenient excuse for both. The faculty was quick to act on such abuses. But something was coming. The sky was redder in the evening, and it wasn’t as dark when you came out of the gym after practice was over. The shack boys were standing outside in the air now, and the red points of the cigarettes followed the gestures they made with their hands. F bi ; q It was a long time in coming, that last and best part of our year. The days lengthened, but the time grew short for many of us. Spring vacation gave us a short breathing space before we began the last two months. The days were seldom very hot, although the sun was always there. Dew lay heavy in the morning and breezes would sometimes chill in the middle of the afternoon. ‘Toward the last weeks, the heat stilled the air and the locusts sang all night. The maples on the front lawn held multitudes of inchworms. One of them might have landed on your head as you passed under the branches. People stayed outside after lunch instead of go- ing up into the study hall. There was occasional banter and persecution of urchins, but it was not as wild as it had been in other years. Hamil- ton still made them laugh, and business in the commissary prospered as Mr. Bradshaw and others handled long lines with great speed. Every day, the trackmen would be out and whoever put the shot would always climax his ef- fort with a stupendous groan. It was a little more interesting to watch Coach Smith and his baseball players. If you had nothing to do, you could al- ways lie back on the bleachers and take it all in— Page- 74 the long outfield flies, the practice double play sit- uations, andthe raucous infield talk, which was occasionally punctuated with the crack of ball on bat. If you grew tired of that, there was the sky te watch. It was easy to sleep in those days; no one seemed too hurried. Even the tennis players across the street did not look rushed. It all seemed very relaxed. ‘The white uniforms on the green surface with the ball arching back and forth, back and forth—until it ran into the net. Things changed hands in May. ‘There were new officers for the honor council. Their names were read out and the boys walked up and we ap- plauded. Dances and parties led up to the last week. Once more, the rope was lowered across the river and half of us felt helpless when we realized that some up front had already fallen in. The exams followed. It was hot in the gym that Saturday morning. People in the stands undid their collars and fanned themselves with the programs. After the speech, the ceremonies followed. Then, the long line marched to the flagpole. The seniors arranged themselves around the boxwood. They prayed and they sang the Alma Mater. They talked for a while, and then it was over. WOTWWEMGCS 0 these te, Baseball at Battle Ground was practiced and played across the road from the tennis courts. A low hedge was planted at the edge of the road. From there, the ground sloped sharply until it reached the level of the playing field. A section of gray bleachers was stationed on the left side of the wire backstop. Every afternoon in spring, Coach Smith would be out on the basepaths with his trac- tor. He drove around them like a madman, taking the treacherous ninety-degree turns at first, second, third, and home with reckless daring, leaving a cloud of choking brown dust behind him. At the same time, all the players would jog around the field, bouncing up and down. Some eager-beaver would lead the pack; Buzz Hamilton would bring up the rear guard and chat with any urchin that happened to be watching. The real business of practice came after the jogging. Infield and out- field fielded balls from Coach Smith’s bat, and then scrimmage followed. Baseball action was not continuous. It came in short bursts. Most of the time, nothing really hap- pened. The pitcher was either getting ready or re- covering. All expectations centered around the plate. The action could start when the bat, Hiller- ich and Bradsby perhaps, met the baseball in an at- tempt to put it within the angle defined by the first and third base lines but out of the reach of the eight movable obstacles which could impede its progress. In other words, get a hit. Endurance was not the important factor in baseball as it was in wrestling, track, swimming, or even basketball. With the exception of the pitcher and catcher, the players spent most of their time waiting for a situation to develop, if they were in the field. At bat, they waited for the ball to come so they could create a situation that would give the other teams something to worry about . Page 75 THE BASEBALL TEAM: Coach Smith, Chambers, Greene, Powers, Smith, Hamilton, Muncy, Hedden, Manager Beesley. Page 76 Manager Green, Ross, Fly, Bennett, Roberts, Gerth, Lykins, Manager Gant. With the waiting came tension. There was the windup, the leadoff taken by the first base runner, and then the hit. The loudest noise in the sport was that solid convincing crack as the direction of the ball was abruptly reversed. A line drive, a cen- terfield fly, or a vicious, chopping grounder—here was where the game became intense and exciting. Here was where it demanded quickness, skill and a. certain amount of courage. Not many returned from the 1967 team; the ones who did, however, were standouts. Hedden, Hamilton, Fly, Gerth, and Roberts all helped the team considerably. Practice was not drudgery and hard work; it was joking, clowning, and play- ing catch. Hamilton, Chambers, and Powers pro- vided more than their shares of the first two; and everybody participated in the latter, of course. The hifting should have been better than it was the previous year. Chambers, Hedden, Hamilton, and Greene were all excellent with a bat, although they sometimes didn’t show it. Fielding errors were made and they had to be shaken off and over- come. Hamilton, Powers, and Greene gave a good showing on the mound, and Hedden seemed to catch everything that passed the batter. Fly and Chambers were defensive standouts and kept the right side of the infield tight. The rains came too often this year; several games had to be rescheduled or dropped com- pletely. This did not give the team any extra prac- tice days since they couldn’t practice in the rain, ei- ther. Coach Smith was hard-pressed to get the team ready, and it was shown by the team’s slow Start. bat. se ae! then? i ee ad sonia 7 vr Tennis was a sport controlled and precise. The white tracks on the green courts served as exact boundaries which had to be observed. The atmosphere surrounding the game was low-keyed and relaxed. No cheers or clapping from the spectators; they were content to watch and enjoy the game. The players did not appear strained, at least during the first few minutes of each match. In- stead, they seemed to enjoy playing, if the calm and intense con- . centration on their faces was any indication of how they felt. Tennis was a game of sounds and movements. Players would talk occasionally, but the ball accounted for most of the noise. There was the short, springy thud of the ball as the racket changed its direction in a serve or return. The hollow plop when it bounced off the court surface. The short rattle of the wire mesh when a ball had been returned too hard and too far. The motion was there, too, It was constant and quick. White uniforms and the people inside them shifted up, back, right, left, slowly, quickly. . . . But the best players made it look effortless and even fun. Of all the sports at Battle Ground, it was the one most like a game. More than that, tennis was a game of individuals. The team’s leading individual was Teddy Lee. Behind him, in the second and third positions, were Dick Lewis and Rick Francis, both jun- iors and both third year men. Eighth grader Sammy Duke oc- cupied the number four spot and junior Steve Horn was ranked fifth. The ranking was not a constant thing, for matches were held to determine rank every so often. The team this year could boast both experience and strength. Two losses came early from M.B.A., but defeats were handed to Lipscomb and C.M.A. A winning record was expected. Tennis doubles involved more team action. The leading dou- bles team was composed of Lee and Duke. Francis and Lewis formed B.G.A.’s second doubles group. As a group, the team was informal. Practice was left up to the individual. The only time all players were together was when they had a match with another school. The Chattanooga trip and match with Brainerd was regarded as the season highlight by team members. Lastly, there was Coach Bradshaw, always on the sidelines, silent and watchful under the afternoon sun. THE FENNGS TEAM—Back Row: Horn, G. Armi- stead, Lewis, Ross, D Berry.4 Fr ove Row: T.

Of course, there were things to throw, like the shot and discus. The jumping events were there too. They tested how far or high you could jump. But the one quality predominant in track was endurance. After the first 440 there were so many more. And they all had to be run. Hard. The circumference of the track was hardly uni- form as far as surroundings went. As a runner took the far curve down by the school, he would successively be greeted by the shack boys, the ping- pong buffs in the commissary waiting for a vacant table, and the sound of tennis balls passing from one side of the court to the other. Down at the other end, the runner would pass the shot and dis- cus men. Rest followed, but it was too little for the next race. as é Page 80 If we can remember correctly, golf started in St. Andrews, Scotland. Somewhere around there, any- how. Since the time of its creation, it has spread into other areas. Even Middle Tennessee. So it was that Mr. Parsons took charge of the golf team this year. There were quite a few new faces. In fact, Josh Huffman and Dewees Berry were the only team members who had played last spring. Fred Faircloth and Mike Glasgow headed the sen- ior contingent, while Jimmy Witherspoon was the third junior on the team. Mays Hume and Stew- art Bronaugh completed the list of golfers. These boys really had to sacrifice for their privi- lege of representing Battle Ground on the links. We can see them now—and so can you, dear reader —tramping from green to gréen in that vile sun- shine and fresh air, carrying those golf bags, taking the numbered flags out of the holes, laughing, talking. ... And this was while the rest of us were luxuriating in our classrooms in the after- noon. Of course, we couldn’t shoot in the low eighties, either. THE GOLF TEAM: Huffman, Witherspoon, Berry, Hume, Bronaugh, Glasgow, Faircloth (not pictured) . “Let him alone, Jorgson . . . the poor kid. . . he’s frightened.” “I don’t like you.” The lights were turned off as we prepared our- selves for H. S. Cottman and Le Vergne Shaw’s “Submerged.” Low at first and then gaining in volume was the shrill, penetrating, intermittent muffled whistle that one associates with subma- rines. Then a crimson spotlight slightly to the right of the stage grew in intensity until the inte- rior of a submarine and three of its occupants were clearly in view. “You know, before this happened I'd never minded the thought of dying,” said Dunn, the lover (Felix Fly). This opening line established death and somber thoughts of death as the mood. We learned from the dialogue that the vessel had frequented some disaster and had settled to the ocean floor. ‘There the men awaited their res- cue or doom. Yet, we didn’t actually know what an impasse the crew was facing until the periscope fell from its overhead support. Then we knew they were in trouble. The commander, MacAndrews (Tommy Law- rence) , entered and ordered his men to propel him through the torpedo tube. It seemed that his body would rise to the surface and show the rescue ships the site of the sunken vessel. The men refused to allow their commander’s certain death. Instead, Dunn, Shaw, the dreamer (Steve Hicks), and Nabb, the cockney (Frank Wade), volunteered to go. The situation seemed hopeless until Brice, the coward (Kelly Lish), suggested that they draw cards to see who would die. All the men laid their cards on the table except Brice. Jorgson, the bully (Joe Lester), wrested the card from him and dis- covered it to be the high one. Brice lost all com- posure and fell helpless to the deck. Shaw volun- teered to go for him. A hope of life was seen at this point, for Shaw’s death seemed to portend rescue. The crew naturally shunned the coward and locked him in the control room while they drank “to Shaw.” Brice soliloquized for a moment and was pouring himself a drink “ to rescue-and to Shaw,” when he looked up and saw that the strained plates were breaking. There were cries of agony, then the sound of rushing waters, and suddenly it was over. Again, spring brought about the resurrection of the ancient rivalry between those two great literary societies, the Greers and the Platos. For more than thirty years these groups had confronted each other in various activities. Mr. Ralph “P.E.” Reynolds had recently initi ated some of his progressive re- forms in the contests, inserting basketball, softball, track, wrestling, and swimming on the competitive agenda. But the main attraction continued to be the famous tug-o-war. It didn’t really matter if you won the other events or not, as long as you won the tug-o-war. The winners could sneer at the unfortunate losers and ask how the water felt or how much of the coarse, pebbly, Harpeth River silt they had managed to collect in their shoes while struggling across the muddy stream. The tug-o-war also provided something for almost all of the three thousand spectators: free entertainment for the mi- sers; unique experience for the elite; a fine example of clean-cut young men participating in wholesome activities for Mr. Redick and other concerned adults; a simple test of strength for the sports de- votee; a story for the press; general hilarity for the blithe spirits; and even bloodshed for the sadistic. As you know, we went to press before this great event took place; so, in order that you, the reader, might remember the 1968 tug-o-war in years to come, we included the following paragraph. It can serve a twofold purpose by also showing you how easy it isto write yearbook copy. Merely cross out the incorrect words and fill in the blank spaces, and you have written your own copy. “On the (beautiful, dismal) afternoon of May —, 1968, the Greers and Platos congregated on op- posite banks of the Harpeth River for the annual tug-o-war. The dilapidated school pickup brought Nashville Bridge Co., and we removed it and situ- ated it over the stream. We lifted the rope and, on the signal from Mr. Redick, began the contest. Each countenance expressed (excruciating pain, deliberate determination, general apathy) as the rope pulled taut as a (steel cable, torture rack, limp clothesline). It was (quite, not much of) a battle, as the mighty (Greers, Platos) eventually gained the edge and began to haul more and more (Greers, Platos) through the (sparkling, revolt- ingly filthy) waters. The last man finally crossed, and the (Greers, Platos) were victorious for the the (light brown, rough-grained, grimy) rope from —th time.” weer v is . 75 “ we i + _— IS ant PLATO OFFICERS: Chambers, Campbell, Hamilton, president Rader.

THE INTERMEDIATE RIDING TEAM—Mel McKinnon, Randy Vandernaillen, Reed Garrett, Bootie Berry. Two years ago, horseback riding was inaugurated as a team sport at Battle Ground. This year’s riders were di- vided into a Senior team (Captain Magli, Ingold, McLaughlin, B. Berry) and an Intermediate team (Captain C. Berry, Garrett, McKinnon, Vandernail- len). The Senior team won consistently against tough area riders and horses in stadium jumping, cross country, horse- manship, and team game events. The Intermediate team did not fare too well in competition, but its members showed determination and desire to represent their school and work for the coming year. Thank you, riding team; thank you, horses. This annual was a total effort on the part of several persons; but, before we distribute credits, we would like to pass on a few words to persons outside the Battle Ground community who might try to judge this book. The judge who has read up to this point has probably been horrified by several things. First, we have used quotes, literary and otherwise, to give some semblance of a theme. There is no theme like those of the past: “Let Us Be Aware,” “Yesteryear and Today,” “This is . Battle Ground Academy,” etc. Actually, our theme has been the year itself. Rather than adapt the year’s events to a preplanned layout, we have tried to adapt our layout to the events of the year. Second, we have used no headlines to introduce pages. Annual critics have said that an effective headline encourages the reader to examine the copy. We disagreed, theorizing that a headline Y Class Editors David Heflin and Hilton Austin at GROUP ENVELOPE MeQUEDOY PRINTING OO. tae Se 4 ieee ob ene — Page 94 See pers FLED ERT Fs EN RO often discourages reading of the copy; we intended that our copy be read. .And besides, there was no sense in turning a yearbook into a newspaper. It was the Wildcat’s job to write headlines. Third, we captioned very few pictures, theorizing here that captions which we thought effective might be quite ineffective to many readers. An uncaptioned picture allows the reader to recall the event as he saw it. He can draw a new idea every time he looks at it. As if this isn’t enough, we have proba- bly been marked down for beginning too many sen- tences with prepositions and subordinating con- junctions. If the judge continues beyond this point, he will be appalled to find, that, again, we have used baby pictures—an unpardonable sin— throughout our ad section. We have done this be- cause our students lzke the baby pictures. And they are the ultimate judges, anyway.

He offered the constructive criticism that was necessary to produce and refine the book. He also steered us clear of potential libel cases. Curt Miles managed the finances, which were shaky at the outset. Curt skillfully balanced the books and billed our adver- tisers. Tom Brady took and developed most of the pictures. He never missed a football or basketball game, which was much better than most of us. He spent nearly every Saturday in the darkroom, devel- oping pictures of good quality. Jud Rogers wrote the bulk of the copy. Near the deadline he pro- duced fine lines with amazing rapidity. Jay Siegrist had a hand in everything. He captioned most of the baby pictures and typed, edited, and proofread many pages of the book. David Heflin and Hilton Austin compiled the class sections, which assured THE CANNONBALL STAFF—Left to Right: Gerth, Siegrist, everyone of at least one picture in the book. Russell Little typed much of the copy and edited parts of the sports pages. Richard Katzoff was the chief flunky. He sorted pictures, proofread pages, warmly pointed out errors, and, along with Curt, laid out the entire ad section. He and Steve Dud- ley are the editors of the 1969 Cannon Ball. As we have said, we presented the year as we saw it but in a way that, we hoped, might make you, the reader, remember it. If we have embar- rassed or angered any of you in our presentation, we now humbly ask your forgiveness. We meant no harm. Without you to make the story, there could have been no yearbook.

But it was measured in long minutes as you waited for the final bell or the end of Mr. Peel’s class. It is all gone now, and it is hard to print. First of all, there were the people. The person you remember most when you think about the year was yourself. Your day of triumph; your day of humiliation; and all the other days. The above should not be taken seriously for most of us failed to recognize our vic- tories, and very few would admit to any humili- ations. Then there were the others. Most of your classmates were original people. If they were not funny themselves, they would usually laugh, unless Brady told it. A lot of them were your friends; many were anything but that; and most of them Page 98 will be remembered for a time. Mr. Redick will tell stories about a few. After a while, the urchins will be looking at your composite class picture that will hang on the wall. They will probably think that your,son looks like you. Or how pitiful glen plaid coats looked. But what really “happened” this year was not the events so much as the things you took no notice of—the things you did all the time. What about the track? You ran on it every day for a while there. Your mouth gummed up and it was hard to spit and you were tempted to ease up, maybe, as you ran behind the football stands made out of the famous Breeko Blocks. That was one of Mr. Smithson’s favorite labels—to call you a Breeko en MN es emi ——— Block. There were other names—West-Wind, Lit- tle Boy, Freddie B. And there were his tests—All or nothing affairs in a race against the clock. “Two minutes left,” he would say, and the two }minutes would be up in what seemed like thirty seconds and you had another 58. Back to the foot- ball stands, made out of Breeko blocks, and the Stratford game. That wind made it so cold that you had to cheer, walk around, or do something. Not too many can remember that one, though. _ That was another thing hard to remember—the answer to Mr. Bragg’s question on the monthly. If you missed it, it was “trivial” and “obscure.” Mr. Akin’s tests—they were the worst of all in many re- ‘spects. Penalty for ignorance here was the Sun- down Club. It was Mr. Akin’s name for the select group who managed to fail his little daily tests. They would meet in the afternoon in the chemistry lab. That place was a world apart from the rest of the school. First of all, it did not look like a class- room. ‘There were desks, but they were separated into rows by long black-topped tables. On the ta- bles were the sunken basins, the curved spigots with the high pressure sprays, the heavy porcelain catch all bowls, and the gas jets. You could write on the desks, but there were more things to do when Mr. Akin left the room. The water spigots could be turned on—with a thumb under the open- ing, you could spray everyone else in the room. Did you have a match? Turn on the gas jet and Page 99 Page 100 there was a regular flamethrower. Better than Right Guard, even. Mr. Akin was seldom absent long enough for this type of distraction, however. The phone would ring often, and he would have to answer it. ‘The man who drove the Coca-Cola truck would come in on Thursday every week to confer with J. B. This talk was usually good for a few minutes of rest. Lunch. That was something you ate at school. Sometimes, it was good. No matter what it was like, someone could always say something bad about it. But after a while the jokes about the food grew old and stale and tiring. It was more fun to bedevil the cooks. They took the kidding well, but remained adamant as far as second help- ings were concerned. After lunch, there was always the commissary. Urchins could be persecuted and arguments could be argued. It was the same thing every day. People would stand in groups and talk; someone would chase some one else around; and there was always one brave soul willing to run in the study | hall and pound on the library door in an effort to rouse Dr. Green. Coach Cherry would argue with his Geometry classes about U.T. versus Vanderbilt � whenever he was not preaching about the “skirts.” Remember how it was between classes? There was always a lot of congestion on the second floor land- ing near the new wing. You had to move quickly to avoid being bumped or run into. And there was always the low ceiling above the stairs that you were careful not to split your skull upon. You al- ways had time to stop and get a drink. Most of the water fountains were fairly decent, but there were a few that couldn’t accumulate enough pressure to get the water up. The one in the cafeteria was like that. The white one by the office (“Drink to the Class of 1940”) was tricky. If you turned it too hard, you got your face wet. The coolest water was in the one right across from the office. It was good atten Pus a ep A an es i We can’t forget P.E., either. Some of the best things happened in that class. For instance, it would be hard to forget Mr. Reynolds and his self defense course. So many ways to defend yourself against different kinds of attacks. There was a free spirit in every class who would gladly burlesque “whatever Mr. Reynolds demonstrated. Coach had other trials, too. The uniform checks and the re- peated warnings about having somebody else’s ten- nis shoes bothered few. Our brigandish attitude was shown in the remark of a senior who had just picked up an unguarded P.-E. shirt. He said, “How do you like this fellow? He not only steals my shirt but he goes and puts his name in it, too!” There was another thing which most of us could hardly care about remembering now. It was the work. All the proofs and exercises and themes. They could be put on or put off. Or they could be done. Book open and pencil to paper every day. You didn’t want to do it. You were sleepy, or the room was too hot, or you had plenty of time, or you were finding it hard to understand with the radio on. This was what it was all about in the end. Toil with lots of sweat from the brows. The year ended in May. Another group left after the flag had been saluted and the song sung. The building remained, basking in the heat, with the green leaves of the maples waving around it. The graduation robes were taken off; some of us stopped at the Dairy Queen on our way home. Page 101 “Whoasneurr is Fudanentally A Cracher Cakes things... frurliding himself ... seriously Only as they affect his Students.” NIETZCHE The teachers were part of the school, too. It was hard to lump them as a group according to any standard. Each will be remembered for his indi- vidual characteristics. There were the English teachers: Mr. Cobb, with his swinging walk and stern look and little black Vanderbilt portfolio; Mr. Byrd, and his chapel announcements that began with “Sophomores!”; Mr. Peel, eternally placid (Of course, this writer never saw him in class) ; and Mr. Bragg, who liked the windows shut and Thirty Days words used. Mr. Smithson headed the list of math teachers, and he liked the windows open. Mr. B. Gentry did not hestitate to differ with him on some of his methods at breakfast, but Mr. Smithson took it in his stride. Mr. Cherry divided his time between 7 Geometry, the S.E.C., and the infamy of Vander- bilt. Mr. Smith always seemed alert about some- thing—perhaps it was his new “Mister Congruent”’ nickname. Mr. Wright rivaled Coach Cherry in both stature and hair length. His inquisitive red face was often seen above the collar of a sport jacket with an extremely well-defined plaid pat- tern. He was perhaps unfairly accused of driving to dinner in the cafeteria from the Briggs House. Mr. Parsons taught a lot of different things; maybe that is why he always seemed lost in thought, shuffling through the halls with a notice- able stoop. Mr. Richardson reminded one of a vague be- nevolent force dispensing invisible blessings. Mr. Leprun, on the other hand, was regarded by many as a satanic force comparable to the Spanish Inqui- sition or General De Gaulle. Just kidding there, Page 103 really. Mr. Bradshaw held sway in the other room downstairs, as he expounded on the Constitution and his love affair with the present Supreme Court. Every other day he would wear a sport shirt but- toned at the top and chide Gant for falling’ asleep. Mr. Patterson was an interesting character, with his hair carefully slicked down, his narrow feline eyes, and the strangled knots of his ties. Dr. Green tied enormous knots, and his eyes were always wide—but he never seemed surprised. Sometimes the doctor was a little irascible, al- though he was hard to arouse. Mr. Wilkinson was the other Latin teacher. Soft, soft, spoken and not given to wild outbursts. Mr. Jimmy Gentry was hearty, but he also conveyed a feeling of intense re- laxation. Mr., Redick’s moods showed the effects of a THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES— Left to Right: Frank Cole, Howard Johnston, J. S.

Here his eyes would flash, his chin would come forward, and his enormous ears would prick up ever so slightly. About this time, the offender would gaze up with an air of innocence. ‘Me, Sir?” Mr. Akin was busy all the time, explaining ap- plications of chemistry in Middle Tennessee and charting the school through choppy financial waters by application of diligent economy in all areas. Mr. Akin may have been cautious about coke bot- tles, but the school was solvent, I think. Coach Reynolds closes out our brief review of the men who taught us this year.

People expected a lot out of us; they should have. Generally, we lived up to our expec- tations in the field of academics. Although we didn’t possess a Stamps or McClanahan, we usually managed to keep many boys on the Honor Roll and Privilege List. In many other areas, though, we fell down. Of course, everyone was disap- pointed with our football and basketball teams. It seems as though we possessed the talented individu- als, but couldn’t function as a team. This was seen in our successes in individual sports such as wres- tling. We could have offered quite a bit more leadership than we did. Here again we had some outstanding individuals, but we didn’t lead as a unit. It certainly wasn’t a bad year, though. Our combined four-year efforts were well worth remem- bering. But what was most important to us was that this was our Senior Year—our stepping stone to the future—our prelude to an entrance into life on our own.

ISS = SST LVS It will be difficult to forget Mr. Redick. I had heard of him long before I first saw him. Perhaps the first actual glimpse came on a testing day in Feb- ruary of 1963. A youngster could not help but be overwhelmed by his genial disposition. “This is Mr. Redick,” I was told as I looked into the gray eyes partially obscured by a squint resulting from a broad smile spreading over all parts of his visage. I had to look up, because Mr. Redick was a big man. He was attired in a neat suit; but perhaps you saw him at his leisure in a loose-fitting sport- shirt with a pipe in his mouth. Maybe he was working in his front lawn, pruning the low shrubs near his red-brick house on Everbright, when your father decided to stop either for business or just talk. You might remember his laugh—throaty and coarse but certainly agreeable. Mr. Redick en- joyed laughter. It was not all smiles, though, and for good rea- sons. You must have gotten into some form of trouble at least once. At that time the geniality on his face would be replaced by a cold look of con- cern or, if the situation warranted it, anger. The eyes would now sometimes be fully open, depend- ing on the severity of the wrinkling of his forehead. He would occasionally rest his chin in the palm of his hand as he listened to your version of the story. Maybe you were paddled. He would instruct you to lean over the back of a chair and grasp the front edge with both hands. Then he would commence action in a downward circular motion with that wide canoe paddle—first on the right, then on the left, high, low. . . . After thorough coverage he would turn you around and shake your hand, an action that was somewhat uncomfortable to you since it left you with only one hand to massage the affected area. He would tell you that he had hated doing it, because it hurt him even more than you. At that moment of physical agony you probably had your doubts. But it did hurt Mr. Redick. It hurt him be- cause he was genuinely concerned about your pres- ent and future well-being. He shared in our vic- tories and defeats alike. A good number of his sto- ries concerned boys after they had left Battle Ground. He was as pleased as a parent when one boy fulfilled his promise, and as disappointed when another didn’t. Remember his stands against the “Sundrops” and “G.D.I.’s’? How about his inces- sant praise in assembly of the speech department, annual staff, and other lesser organizations? Yes, Mr. Redick cared about all of us, and I guess that is the thing for which we will remember him most. What more could we have asked? Page 221 And lest we forget...
