N rp:--:rw ,5 bW,,, l ,, T N 1 rf' During our years at Battle Ground, there have been certain experiences which we cherish more than othersg so also it is with the relationships we have developed with many of the faculty members. Rod McKuen expressed this emotion so poignantly when he wrote: t . . . Think of all the men who never knew the answers, think ol all of those who never even cared. Still there are some who ask why, who want to know, who dare to try. Every now and then we meet that kind of man here he comes again and now he's gone. For his constant companionship, his guidance in our activities, and his under- standing of young people-we dedicate the 1969 CANNoN BALI, to Mr. Tony Cobb.

I seek a complete education. I Want learning to fill every cell in my brain. I need to be se- cure with my knowledge. I love life. I want to grasp all things it has to offer, good and bad, and learn from them. That's what it's all about, isn't it-Getting an education from books and from people? Page 15 affclmzmia tmtzkw A school can only be as good as its faculty. At BGA the men who are challenged with the task of education are of a truly select minority. Teachers are made of many things: perseverance, dedication, and a sense of justice to name a few. Many thankless hours of toil and frustration must go into the life of an educator, few professions demand such a spec- trum of talent. These are men who care, care enough to give of them- selves so that we may receive the bene- fit of their knowledge. Upon their shoulders rests the destiny of youth, the leaders of tomorrow. The pride which these men share and the time spent in teaching and coaching boys, both mentally and physically, is but a surface indication of their sacrifice. The select group of students who are privileged to be under the guidance of these men are receiving a firm foundation for the security of their future. During these impressionable years, perhaps no other group of men contributes so much to the formation of a useful citizen, for these reasons our years under their influence will always be remembered.

Page 29 Wazahfg 9-Uflfgtlgg Summer ended early for thirty of Battle Ground Academy's athletes, football practice started in the Hrst part ol' August. XVC arrived at the gym on that First Monday to be greeted by Coach Franklin, some of us were in shape, but the vast majority ol us had neglected the sum- mer conditioning program. No one knew what to expect. Coach Franklin gave us a dramatic talk and laid it on the line: XVe weren't as good as some of the teams we were to play, we had a tough schedule, but with grit and determination we would go through the season playing with reckless abandon. The lighting spirit of Battle Ground teams was to be tested. lt was hot in August. Inside the football uniforms it must have been a hundred degrees. Wle were, however, lucky in some respects: fish- net jerseys, limeade breaks, blister breaks, and occasional rests during practice. YVe learned how to divebomb in the airplane drill, how to go at hundred yard dash speed, how to break down, and how to Gnd the shade trees at the end of the practice field. Hlhen we arrived one Sunday, packed and ready to go to camp, we were told that Coach Gentry was to be our new coach and that we were going to learn to play tough foot- ball. XVe were underdogs, but we would sur- prise some people. Coaches Cherry, Flatt, and Gentry Bottom Row, Left to Right: Mgr. Stephens, Harper, Dodson WVilliams, Muncy, D. Gentry, Beadle.

Practices were more spirited as Coach Gen- try wanted to make football more fun for us. He instilled confidence in usg the improve- ment was remarkable. YVe thought we were ready to play Jackson and anticipated a sur- prise for the folks who had come to watch us get beat. Wie went into the Jackson game with high hopesg if we could upset them, we would be on our way to a good season. YVe won the toss and got the ball first. After failing to get a first down, we had to punt. Wie intercepted a pass on their first play, but couldn't capital- ize on our break. XVe fumbled the ball back to them, and later they scored on a long run. They had several long runs and led at the half 34-0. After enduring the first of Coach Gentry's locker room talks, we went out and stiffened, allowing Jackson only one more touchdown in the game. The aroused de- fense was led by Doug Tliouipson and Nate Greene. Senior Mike YVilliams Iialfback Ends Jerry McGinnis and Jeff Hoover stop a Madison back. Page 31 Fullback Nafe Greene breaks through fhe Lebanon line behind the blocking of Drew Oliver Page 32 Charley Benz End The Springfield game started out almost as badlyg they scored twice early in the first qllartef. We bounced back after the Jack- ets' third touchdown in the second quarter and played Springfield to a standstill the rest ol the game. Mike Mfilliams and Charlie Benz did well and brought men- tion from the coaches. Deshler came to Franklin and we were ready for them. They pulled off some long scoring plays and had some good breaks and jumped out 20-0. Showing our mettle, we drove down the held and scored when Harry Blackburn went over from the three yard line. We held them for most of the game, but our mistakes cost us this 27-7 game. We went up to Clarksville on a cold night to play one of the better teams in the state. Proving their high ranking, Clarks- ville, on end runs and a strong passing game, beat us by a score of 56-0. The next game was with Donelson, one of the better teams in Nashville. XfVith two young sophomores, Johnny Phipps and Brad Thomason, in the lineup we gave the Dons a run lor their money. An aroused XVildcat de- lense, after early mistakes, held the vaunted Donelson olfense to only two touchdowns. jerry McGinnis and Jeff Hoover, the ends, contained their wide attackg Olll' secondary, Mike Hlilliams, Harry Blackburn, Nate Greene, and Paul Muncy, covered their re- ceivers. YVe had trouble launching a sus- tained drive, but got down close twice and could not score. Coach Gentry told us that close did not count and that we must prepare for our next game. XVe were up for the Madison game. They were rated as one of the best in their division, but we were determined to spoil their homea coming. Reversing our normal pattern, we played well in the Hrst half, trailing 7-0 at halltime. XVe had been moving the ball well on the ground and through the air. and our defense was strong. However, Madison had other ideas and came back and won 27-7. Chris Ross fakes scoring pass from Brad Thomason. The game was much closer than the score in- dicated and we were disappointed. Nate Greene scored our only touchdown. ,-5 mv. phnny Phipps moves up the field with a kickoff. Paulhduncy Split lind Page 33 Josh Huffman holds as Bill Smith attempts an extra point. Let down from the week before, we let Murfreesboro trample us 47-0. Chris Dodson and Skip Beadle got to play, being the only bright spots in the game. We pulled our belts tighter and, after a rigorous week of practice, got prepared for Lebanon. We played Lebanon a good game, falling 34-14. Our pass defense broke down twice for long scores, but the offense finally gelled. Mike Williams got away on a 76 yard run, Nate Greene pounded the line for yardage, and Brad Thomason connected with Paul Muncy on several passes. Charlie Benz, Allen Gentry, and Buddy Allen opened gaping holes in Lebanon's lines. This was one of our best games, but we weren't to be satisfied with less than a win. We lost to Litton in our next to last game of the season. After playing well the week be- fore, we again relaxed and trailed 27-7 at halftime. After intermission, inspired by the blocking of Buddy Allen and Drew Oliver, we struck quickly at the Lions and cut the gap to 27-21 to get back in the game. However, a fleet Litton back returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown and let the wind from our sails. Philpot, Greene, and lhlilliams ran well for the X'Vildcats, but our defense let us down. Behind good protection, Brad Thomason fires a pass against Donelson. Page 34 'Zi . L..

Not failing in this objective, the ISMS8 Battle Ground B-teain has given several promising lootball players a chance to prove themselves to the coaches. Although not coin- piling a winning record, the fine c'oac'hing job by Nlri Sniithson and Mr. Kennedy was evident by the marked iniprovenient throughout the sea- son. The defense sparkled, emerging as the most outstanding part ol' the Junior XVildeats. Led by Meredith Shannon, Ralph Duke, and Tom Miner, the headhunting unit specialized in wrecking the ollense ol' the opposition. Harnpered by injuries to the quarterbacks, the l5.C.,VX. ollense Could not seem to generate sus- tained drives. Nonetheless, Gene Lovell and qlohn Harper along with Hain XVallac'e and Turner Snodgrass distinguished themselves in the baeklield. These and other boys may be making valuable contributions to the varsity next year.

Coach Smith planned a full summer workout schedule for varsity aspi- rants. Each Monday night during the summer the team assembled at the gym for a practice ses- sion, which, on account of the heat, was con- cluded by a ten minute dip in the pool. These practices were much fun for the team, but more important, they helped draw the team closer to- gether. Both Coach Smith and the team were determined to make this season a more success- ful one than last. When school began, the players who did not play football participated in the cross country program, which aided greatly in conditioning the boys. The first couple of weeks of practice did not now need to be wasted with running drills and calisthentics. Although more boys than ever turned out for the opening try-outs, each boy was given an ample opportunity to catch the watchful eyes of Coaches Smith and Gentry. As the number of players dwindled, daily scrimmage games went on, some intra- squad and some against Nashville teams. All in all, the team was better prepared than in recent years for the beginning of the season. Experience was abundant, but size was lacking. Practically every team which B.C.A. played had at least as big, and more often bigger players. Coach Smith Kneeling, Left to Right: Coach Smith, Mgrs.

Page 42 5, Captains Francis and Ashcraft meet wi Tommy Ashcraft tips the ball to a teammate. th opposing captains. On the night of November 22, 1968, the season began as Sunnnertown invaded George I. Briggs Athletic' Center. R.G.A. beat the liagles by seven points, bitt the players showed first game iitters, missing several easv shots and committing several floor mistakes. Alter this opening perl'orinanc'e. the lVildt'ats hosted strong Ryan. The week long Thanks- giving break showed its eflects as this errati- eally played game went down on the loss col- umn. llillsboro XVilliamson County was next on the agenda, and the Cats registered a rather lopsided 80-25 win. Truman Harper. Bill Smith. -Ieil' Hoover, Houston Moran, and Toininv Harwell held the Indians scoreless throughout the third quarter. The easy vie- tory perhaps made the team a bit too compla- cent as they met a powerful Perry County team the next night at Linden. The great height advantage of the opposing players proved to be too much for the TVildeats who lell, 88-55. Howard and Nl.B,A. were next on the schedule, and the TVildeats lost both of these hardly fought contests. Hoping to ini- prove bv the Christmas break, the team worked hard and gave much better perform- ances at home against Hume Fogg and at Pea- body. Alternate Captain Tommy Asheraft played one ol his better games against Hume Fogg and Captain Riek Francis did well against Peabody. As in last year's lXI.T.I.T. at Franklin, I3.G.A. had to face Lebanon, ranked seventh in the state. Again, the out- sifed Cats could not stay with the opposition on the boards. However, except for the third quarter. the game was a close one even though B.G.A. lost. Page 43 Rick Bennett brings the ball down the court. Jimmy Witherspoon sets his sights on the goal Page 44 against Franklin. Tim Powers goes up for two against M.B.A. Cross town rival Franklin hosted the Blue and Gold next. Although it was a close game for the first three quarters, the Rebels took advantage of several floor mistakes by B.G.A. and went out in front by ten at the buzzer. The Wfildcats again played Hillsboro Williamson Countyand won by a great margin. Once again, the reserves played bril- liantly throughout the game. In particular, Nate Greene played well both offensively and defen- sively. The team entertained M.U.S. the next af- ternoon and, with adept ball handler Rick Bennett leading the way, gave their best performance of the season thus far, only to lose by five points after coming from eleven behind at the first quarter. The B.G.A. cagers next visited Summertown, where a rousing come-from-behind surge was led by Rick Francis, who had nineteen points. Tim Powers, Tom Ashcraft, and Jim Witherspoon had eighteen, Fifteen, and fourteen rebounds respec- tively. The following night the Cats met Hume Fogg at West High School, where the team played well but were outgunned by the Petway brothers, Raymond and Gail Gillespie. Jeff Hoover tips one in against M.B.A. The NLBA. Big Red next visited Briggs Athletic Center, and the XVildcats were deter- mined not to give a repeat performance of their earlier loss. B.G.A. lost a nine point lead in the fourth quarter, and the game went into overtime. However the terrific outside shooting of the M.l5.A. guards proved to be too much for the Cats as B.G.,-X. snatched de- feat from the jaws of victory. Some teams would have been disheartened by this run of bad luck, but the XVildcats came back. Battling number hve Clarksville in their own gym to a 50-45 decision was probably the high point of the season. Being a 37 point under- dog and losing by only live is quite an accom- plishment. Hotshooting Murfreesboro rid- dled the XVildcat defense in a Tuesday night away game. The outstanding student support could not stop a 64W field goal percentage by the Tigers. Lipscomb was next in another away game. Tim Powers was magnificent in defeat, scoring nineteen points and pulling down many rebounds. H44.. fasrfw ..!i I, '- - -:t g: 5 lg 5 L T.

Page 45 Coach Smith regroups his forces during a f:meoz.+ In an attempt to better their record in the last regular season game of the year, the Blue and Gold hosted Howard, who had dealt the Cats a stinging defeat earlier in the season. For seniors Rick Francis, Tommy Ashcraft, Truman Harper, Tim Powers, and Jim VVitherspoon, this game would be their last in the B.G.A. gym. These seniors built up a lead, lost it, but ran it out to nine points before the game was over. It was great to end the season on a winning note and a good way for the boys to get ready for the upcoming district tournament. The opening game of the tournament was against Bethesda. Sporting the num- ber eight scorer in the state, the Bethesda team was gunning for an upset. A huge crowd of students attended the game at the Franklin gym and gave much needed vocal support. The Cats built up a sizeable lead in the first hall, but could muster no of- fense in the second, and Bethesda came back to within one point with five minutes to go. But, similar to the Howard game, the Hlildcats pulled out to a seven point lead at the end of the game. Page 46 ECB af ! 22 1- fz ' V5 3 ,W,m L 2, fi x'-w.,?'4Q, J ' w 51-ch f J 'Sm ...K .

Page 50 - 7mm The 1968-69 B-team basketball squad, coached by Bobby Gentry, amassed a l0-I0 record. The team was composed entirely of sophomores with the exception of Chuck Cook, a junior, and should provide the varsity with several fine athletes. The Wildcats played their First game after less than a week's practice and showed steady improve- ment throughout the year. They provided the fans with plenty of excitement, winning two games in a row by two points. They beat M.B.A. on a tip-in by Bob Armistead, and they beat Hume-Fogg on a last second shot by Bill Smith. The B-team was led by Bob Armistead, Brad Thomason, and Billy Anderson who had high games of 24 points, 15 points, and 20 points respectively. Battle Ground Academy should be proud of these boys for the fine job they didg they will make the future much brighter for the basketball teams of B.G.A. fzedkman Team t ,,1 l 5 ijt W J X is 1 z Lrft to Right: Mgr.

Page 51 Wrestling season arrived right on the heels of football season, it was dreaded by some, eagerly an- ticipated by others. Many of last year's wrestlers returned to attempt to give BGA a winning sea- son for the team and to try to win individual hon- ors in the tournament matches. Drew Oliver, David Gardner, Sterling Minor, Gene Lovell, johnny Lucas, Barry Goodman, Bill Fisher and Rob Anderson returned to help newcomers Donny Cam- eron, Hanes Sparkman, Alan Duke, Mike Isaacson, and Charlie Warfield. Everyone wanted a winning season and was prepared to sacrifice to have one. The more experienced wrestlers gave the new boys instruction and moral support when they needed it, and an attitude of team spirit was cultivated. The team worked hard and, led by Captain David Gardner, were ready to leave their guts on the mat for Coach Gentry. The first match was with Overton and, al- though the team had had little time to prepare, BGA won handily by a large margin. As the sea- son progressed the competition got tougher, but so did the Wildcat wrestlers, and they did well against some of the best Nashville teams. Wzeathhg Near the middle of the season, the N.I.L. tour- nament was held at Glencliff High School, and BGA was well represented. Although Gene Lov- ell was the only wrestler to place in the finals, the team fared well as several Hrst round victories were won by the Wildcats. After Christmas, the team received new uniforms and morale seemed to pick up in anticipation of the last half of the season. The boys worked hard and showed steady improve- mentg Gardner, Minor, and Lovell were consistent winners. Then, the highlight of the entire year was at hand. The Regional Tournament is the goal to which all the wrestlers had been striving, so that they might make a good showing, for themselves as well as the team. In order to get ready for the tournament, extra time was spent in practice: more exercises, more wrestling match practice, and the grueling five minutes of solid running around the swimming pool. The boys deemed the extra effort to be justified, because everyone wanted to be pre- pared for their last big match. Bottom Row, Left to Right: Fisher, C. Haffner, Sparkman, Wariield, Anderson, B.

Only a few ol' BGA's entries were elim- inated in the Hrst roundg most made it at least as far as the quarter finals. However, because of the strong showing of some of the Nashville teams, only David Gardner was able to qualify for the state meet in Chattanooga after Hnishing third in his weight group in the region. David, one of the bright spots on this year's team, drew one of the best wrestlers in the state and was eliminated in his first match, ending the wrestling season at BGA Prospects for next year are favorable, with Lovell, Minor, Goodman, and Cameron returning to pace next year's team. XVrestling is a hard and demanding sport, requiring physical and mental disci- pline on the part of its participants: al- though each man is part of a team, he is alone when he goes to wrestle his match. This year's team put forth every ounce of ellort possible and earned a 6-6 won-lost reeordg they proved worthy of all the praise they have received and were excellent rep- resentatives of Battle Ground.

Third Roan' Coach Rey- For the l9fi8-69 BGA swimming team, what was labeled a rebuilding year at the beginning of the season became a winning year before the end of it. XVith only three regulars from the senior highg Mark Scan- tlebury, Steve Faust, and Bill Tichenor, and a wealth of upcoming freshmen and eighth graders, this year's team proved it- self to be the best BGA has had yet, chalking up six victories against three losses. This Fine record was accomplished by defeating C.M.A. twice, S.NI.A. twice, Ashville School once, and Baylor once. The tremendous improvement over last year's season was graphically demonstrated by the fact that the school record in every event was brokeng with faster times, the boys found themselves placing higher in all the meets. Leading the way this year in individual scoring was Sam Hfauford, fol- lowed closely by Steve Faust, Pierre Rogers, Bill Tichenor, and Bryce Hickey. wzhzmzhg T 5 ,,, ,,' , I f 1 ' u- as si t 7 1: f . f, I-36 ' hy A 't , is , , ' ,, , ,, M W f ' , 0 Y ' A .. . 3 , Q ' H f Y ' 'W aw V i ff ' A rf .V mm 1 , I A 2 vw Page 57 s 5 5 if - - .L-' new 02, .ff bn rs- ,yr 4 . QY Coach Reynolds shows classic racing dive form as the swimming team stands by indifferently. The team worked hard. Every day after school they headed toward the pool for their workout. Often it would hurt a lit- tle, but each member felt the long hours and muscle cramps were a small price to pay for victory. Wfhen practice was over everyone sprinted the last lap because they knew it was the end of practiceg then came the pool deck so cold it numbed one's feet and the towel that did not quite cover enough. Most did not mind the long cold run to the locker room though, for there was always a hot shower and the warm heater waiting. The meets were big events. No one was really nervous until Coach Reynolds gave his pep talk in the Phys Ed room. Some- how, then each hoy realized that he had to win. Each tried hard to psyche himself up, but also tried to give his teammates en- couragement. YVhen his own event was called, the swimmer was alone on the blocks waiting for the gun that would re- lease his tenseness and send him on his wayg the gun fired and the swimmer dove into the water, straining every muscle in his surge for victoryg the last lap and the swimmer drove hard for the wall that would mean the Hnishg the wall came, and, for BGA another victory.

Page 60 Captain Tommy McLaughlin It will be a surprise to many of the students to find out that B.G.A. has a horseback riding team. However, not only does B.G.A. have a riding team but it has a good one, as is attested by the gold trophy in Mr. Akin's ofiice. Sponsored by Mrs. John Ingold, the four boys on the riding team participate in inter-school rid- ing tournaments, competing against such teams as Harpeth Hall, Hillsboro, Two Rivers, and Peabody. In each tournament the teams com- pete in four areas: horsemanship, cross country, stadium jumping, and a team game. The team with the most points after all the events have been held is the winner and carries home the trophy. Much credit is due to Tommy McLaughlin, Tommy Magli, John Ingold, and Bootie Berry for their devotion in representing Battle Ground on horsebackg but there is also, for the riding team, the envy of the students for anyone who is lucky enough to participate in anything against Harpeth Hall. xf .

Second Row: Peercy, McMillen The track team began practice in early Feb- ruary under the direction of Mr. Danny Allen. There were many who could not start practice then because of basketball and spring footballg and real practice with the whole team did I1Ot start until April 2, with Mr. Allen, Mr. Flatt, and Mr. Hassey running the boys till their tongues were hanging out. Practices seemed long, but the team knew they were really getting into shape. NVarmup lor practice was always a mile or two, and then came the 220's, fl40's, or 880's. The real inspiration of the team was John Lee who could run and run and run after every- one else had already stopped. Harry Black- burn could always be seen carrying around his little shot put, which he clung to as if it were made of gold. Then there were Mike Hlilliams, Sterling Minor, Bill Armistead, .lim Harrison, Sammy Hollins, jeff Hoover, Jack l'Vitherspoon, and Gordon McDaniel working on hand-offs for the relay teams. John Lee, Monty Powell, Gerard McDonald, Randy Bratton, and others were the distance runners and were dedicated in their endeav- ors. One of the highlights of practice was going by the kitchen and smelling the evening meal being prepared. This pleasure was particu- larly enjoyable because most members of the track had eaten sparingly at lunch in antici- pation of the day's track practice.

Jeff Hoover carries flve baton for the mile relay team. YVhen it rained, it was always fun to run to the Confederate Cemetery, at which time one could see spring in all its beauty. The people driving by in cars would all stop, look, and point at the team while they were running on the road. The track season only lasted Eve weeks but seemed to most boys like two or three months. The work was hard and many lelt sorry for themselves and envious of other athletes who participated in what seemed easier sports. There were many Ollt lor track for the fun. many for the exercise, and many because they were required to if they wanted to play foot- ball next fall. The veterans of the team, Lee, XVilliams. .tXrmistead, Minor, and Blackburn knew that these were the roughest track practices they had ever been through, but their legs also told them that they had never been in better shape and were probably having the most fruitful track season of their high school days.

After two years' ab- sence from the athletic program, cross country, under the direction ol Coach Danny Allen, again represented HCA in athletic contests. Not a widely known sport, cross country demands strength and stamina from its participants, who de- serve more credit than they receive: a meet is a test of endurance, the participants running a two mile course through a field or open area. Local meets were held at YVillow Plungeg and, although they didn't fare too well as a team, BGA had several outstanding individual performances of which to he proud. The H168 harriers compiled a 5 and 5 record and were led by Rick Bennett, Steve Faust, and Captain John Lee. Although often considered only a conditioning program for basketball players, cross country is an important facet of Battle Ground's athletic program. Page 65 Left to Right: Coach Akin, Berry, Earls, Lewis, Hollins, Francis, Horn. 9.614103 This year's tennis team featured both strength and experience. All eight lettermen re- turned from last year's team which compiled an ll-2 record. Although the schedule this year was a little tougher, even a better record was ex- pected. There seemed little reason to doubt that the 1969 tennis team would be a top cona tender for regional and state honors. Matches were held with the players ranked from one to six with their counterparts from the opposing team. While rank was not permanent, it remained fairly constant throughout the sea- son. The number one man this year was junior Teddy Lee. Hopes were high that he could im- prove his pcrforniance of last year, fourth place in the region and a good showing in the state tournament. Mr. Bunny Akin served in his first year as coach, instituting many changes. He constantly showed an interest in building a winning team and worked hard toward this end. It was a com- bination of his coaching and the consistent play- ing of the team members which brought about a successful campaign.

Past experience was plenti- ful, due to the return of veteran link- sters Josh Huffman, Jimmy Wither- spoon, Dewees, and johnny Lucas, all members of last year's squad. An abun- dance of new talent was present also, with John Givens, Ronnie Rochelle, Bruce McLain, Tommy Stevenson, and jeff Vining rounding out the powerful IQCHITI. Mr. Bill Smith took over coaching duties this year, being afforded the dif- ficult task of hnding the best four players from the group to represent Bat- tle Ground in the regulation matches.

While onc person was batting, there were usually several cliques in the outfield discussing such im- poitnnt subjects as girls, teachers, and television shows Il practice got especially dull, one could al- wavs turn around and watch the neighborhood kids playing basketball beyond the centerfield fence' the kids were always friendly and happy to chase homeruns lor the baseball players too lazy to climb the fence.

All the ingredients for a fine baseball team were present: good pitching, a tight defense, and strong hitting. The question was going to be whether or not Coach Cherry and the team could put all the potential to- gether and produce a strong ball club. Pitch- ing, 75W ol a baseball game, was handled by returning letterman Tim Powers and first year man Meredith Shannon, with relief help from Billy Anderson. With Bill Smith at first, John Boyd at second base, Nate Greene at shortshop, and Paul Muncy at third base, the Wildcats ex- pected a strong infield, both defensively and of- fensively. The outfield held the key to the yearg if Eddie Roberts, Rick Bennett, and John Lyk- ins could come through, the team would be solid. Since the yearbook goes to press before the season begins, the won-lost record is still a matter for speculationg but, if the team members can work together, and the team gets a few breaks, the hopes for a winning season will be realized, along with a possible district title and a place in the regional tournament.

In addition to his duties as science teacher, Mr. Gentry, as athletic director, was involved in scheduling games, meets, and scrimmages for the teams ol' BGA. The athletic director is in a position ol great responsibility, for he must see to it that each varsity, junior varsity, freshman, and sub-freshman team in every sport has an ample supply ol contests with other schools. Coach Gentry spends a large amount of time on the telephone to other schools and on working out the various sched- ules lor each seasong he must coordinate the activities of the teams so that they do not con- llict with each other and, as much as possible. will not interfere with other student activi- ties. ln Hlling his role as athletic director as well as varsity football coach and varsity wres- tling coach, Mr. Gentry has spent many hours working for the athletes ol BGA and de- serves the gratitude of all the students of Bat- tle Ground.

Student Body President Bill .-Xrnnislead The members of the Student Council, elected in the spring ol' each year, carry the responsibility of leading and directing their fellow seniors and the underclassmen. This responsibility was filet by occasional meetings with the student body and some- what more lrequent private meetings with Mr. Akin, Meetings with the student body were concerned with the usual prob- lems of any school: cheating, drinking, smoking, and writing on the walls. Problems ol' a more specific nature were brought by the students to a council mem- ber and then discussed at one ol the pri- vate sessions, at which time the council was usually told why the situation was the way it was and why it would remain so. The council discussed concrete questions such as girl cheerleaders and book-borrowing as well as problems such as school spirit and pride which were not so easy to pin down. Mostly, little in the way of actual change was accomplished by the meetings, for it always seemed that the problem could best be handled by the individual students or that the linal decision must come lrom elsewhere than the council. Page 76 The other, less pleasant, task of the Student Council was to sit in on mat- ters of discipline, usually to help as- certain the just punislnnent for the offender. .PX report of the offense was given by the faculty discipline corn- rnittee, the facts were reported, the of- fender was heard, and the Honor Council adjourned to discuss the situ- ation among themselves. After decid- ing on a course of action, the council would return with a l'CCOHllllCl1Cl1lLlOI1 for the faculty which tnay or may not have been accepted by them. Fortunately, serious discipline prob- letns were few this year as no whole- sale cheating' ring or mass stealing scandal was discovered. The boys on the Student Council were, however, very tnuch aware of their responsibilities and their du' tiesg they were elected on the basis of scholarship. leadership, activity. and integrity and felt the need to live up to the dignity of their position. Each nteinber has given of himself, his tal- ents, and his abilities in serving on the council this year and deserves the honor and respect ascribed hirn by his office. I 5 l l Qs. .

As in the past, the con- cession stands were efficiently operated by responsible Key Clubbersg and a vari- ety of drinks, ranging from chocolate milk to orangeade were sold during the lunch periods. The Christmas drive for needy families received a great deal ol support, and as a result many clothes and toys were presented to the under- privileged families of Franklin. The Key Club progressed in other ways, too. For the First time, sophomore members were inducted into the club. The outstanding sophomores selected were Stack Scoville, Houston Moran, Turner Snodgrass, and Brad Thomason. Also, this year's Key Club became more active with their sponsor, the Y'Voodbine Kiwanis Club. Several times throughout the year, members from the BGA club attended the meetings of the Ki- wanians. Here, many things were learned about Conducting business. The year went on, and Hnally the District Con- vention arrived. It was held in Knoxville, and this year's President, Steve Dudley, and next year's President, Bob Mclllanalizin, both attended. The Kiwanis Club was very kind in that they linanced the trip for both members. At the close of the year, the new officers were sworn in, and a fresh group of promising new members took over.

To become a member of the Beta Club Chapter at Battle Ground Acad- emy, students must attain an average of 87 in each subject one semester. Alter the student has joined the society, he must maintain the re- quired standards throughout the year in order to keep his privileges. The main objective of the Beta Club is to instill in its members a sense ol pride in achievement, honor in scholarship, and desire in leadership. At BGA Beta Club membership means that one is not required to be present in study hall and may study anywhere on campus. The tradi- tional meeting place of the Beta Club is in the Commissary where members can do homework, shoot the breeze, or kill time in general. For the cost of membership dues the Beta Club member is entitled to a membership card, a Beta Club pin, a subscription to the Beta Club Jour- nal, and an opportunity to get out of study hall.

Under the sponsorship of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National Honor S0- ciety is for juniors, seniors, and a select group of sophomores who demonstrate scholarship, leadership, and citizenship in their school lives. Each nominee for the organization must have an 87 average in each course for one semester and must be approved by the Faculty Council of Battle Ground. The newly named Daly Thomp- son Chapter of the National Honor Soci- ety, under the supervision of Mr. Cobb, should prove to be a step forward for the school and a valuable addition to the ex- tracurricular activities of Battle Ground. i I l Merit Scholarship Finalists, Seated: Gardner, Muncy.

In the past, when the first F.C.A. meeting was called, there seemed to be an extraordinarily large number of Christian athletes in the student body. This year, however, the meetings were held in the morning before school, and the number of participants was not- iceably diminished. There were fewer huddle groups this year, but they were more meaninglul to those involved. The huddle groups met every Hlednes- day morning to discuss different topics. One was made to think about Christ, school life, home life, and himself. The F.C..-X.'ers as individuals tried to learn how to relate their faithg the F.C.A.'ers as a troup tried to be relevant to Battle Ground.

Membership was reduced from twenty-four to nine members with meet- ings at regular intervals. The senior mem- bers, Josh Huffman, Sam Brantley, Lewis Maddux, Ned McLeod, Denson Buttrey, and Bob Selph worked along with the jun- ior members, Jim Beesley, Rick Bennett, and Mark Schwartz. Sponsored by Mr. Danny Allen and Mr. Rodney Rogers and headed by -lim Beesley, the Social Commit- tee endeavored to provide the students of Battle Ground with dances and parties. The Committee went to great lengths to obtain good combos, which would be ac- ceptable to the students, and spent many hours decorating the bleak gym to make it presentable. They announced, cajoled, persuaded, posted, and otherwise encour- aged people to participate in the social functions. Through their untiring efforts, B.G.A. was provided with many fine dances and combos. 5 ,M , , g gQrHSS?55riH3Qgg7 'J Q MCNVMQ , W X , , e 'T c as to -. .Q ,..,,k. if W , -- . ,..., --2:1 Fifa, i 1 '1- Q2 is . The first function which the Social Commit- tee arranged was the annual Meet the Franklin Girls dance for the boarders. This combo gave the new boarders a chance to meet the lovely array of Franklin belles for the first time and the older students a chance to renew old ac- quaintances and speak to the girls whom they hadn't seen since last year's dance. Next on the social calendar was the homecoming dance at which the Exotics played before a full house fol- lowing the Murfreesboro football game. Because of several conflicts, the Christmas Dance was pre-empted this year, but there were dances and combos following some of the basketball games. These combos helped promote spirit at the basketball games and were very well at- tended. The Valentine's Dance, arranged to compensate for the lack of a Christmas Dance, was held in February after a week's delay due to the snow. Entertained by the Precious Few, a large crowd danced at the gym for four hours and went away with praises for the night's event. The final event of the year, the Spring Formal honoring the seniors, was held in May. The dance was a success, due to the hard work and careful planning of the juniors along with the cooperation of the Social Committee. Page 85 Wzidcat Staff l ,F .- vu E: M.

It was not published as often as before, but the Tiger Lily filled the gap. The Wildcat was still filled with the real news of B.G.A., the sports results, the speech trips, the choir's ac- tivities, and all the other extracurriculars that were associated with Battle Ground.

Page 94 During the 1968-l969 school year, the speech program at BGA was greatly ex- panded in order to place more emphasis on performances beliore large audiences. Material that heretofore had been used only in competition was performed on stage for pure entertainment. One ol' the main formats ol' the speech depart- ment was to convey the idea that not only plays but all forms ol' literature were written to be performed, A second goal ol the instructors was to present the unfamiliar forms in such a manner that it opened up a whole new dimension of speech to both the student body and the parents. This was keenly observed in the reception the students and parents gave the program presented at BGA on February lflth. 1969. Moreover, the speech program attempted to give the student body a new evaluation of all the dramatic artsg but in particular that ol' poetry was seen to come of age at Battle Ground this past year. Another objective of the drama pro- gram was to teach the performers that the audience was not something to be leared, but someone who sought to know. In accordance, their primary function was to educate andfor enter- tain. 'WJ fi! .. i 3: -- ww, tc K lg .ew 'VN--Qt..m,,, an-,,5 'Hub ,vl- ...........

Although it was originally intended only for production at BCA, the performance turned out so well that the school entered the play in the district tournament. At its first perlormance on l-'ebruary lfith, Hike Brown received the award lor the best performance given. The other members ol' the drama sec- tion produced the play. Twelve Angry Men , in the latter part ol' the year. The externporaneous speaking section, which dealt with current events on the na- tional level, was well represented by Douglas Berry, Bill Smith, and Sam .lack Brantley. lt was the purpose ol' this section to teach the presentation ol a speech on short notice with the logical analysis of a subject. ,Ks in the past, our speech team again trav- eled to Emory University in .Xtlanta, Georgia, to participate in the Barkley Forum, an ex- clusive debate tournament in which only IOIJ- ranked schools are allowed to participate. During the year, Jack Howser managed to complete the requirements lor eligibility in the National Forensic League Tournament. Even though the usual time required to ac- quire the necessary two hundred and hlty points in lour years, Jack managed to do it in only three. .Xll the varsity debaters handled themselves admirably in the dozen or so tournaments this year. Bob McClanahan and .lack Howser brought back a second place trophy from the district debate tournament. In ad- dition, Hanes Sparknian won the first place ,we-we ,Qs trophy lor humorous interpretation. All three boys went on to represent us in the state tournament. At the end ol the year, the speech program seemed to accomplish most ol its obieetives. Their only regret was that they had to post- pone some changes intended lor ISHSS-l9tiEI for the future because they just couldn't lit them into their schedule. Page 95 Ukeezfeczdeza It is the job of the cheerleaders to instill spirit into the school and, with the crowd, to provide noisy support lor the athletic teams ol Battle Ground. This is a most difficult task when a team is having a losing season, because the crowds are often small and quiet. Such was the lot of the 1968-69 cheerleaders, The football cheerleaders, Jinnny XfVitherspoon, Tim Powers, Rob Anderson, John Simpson, Rick Francis, Dick Lewis, Rick Bennett, and Richard Katzolf braved cold weather, rain, distance, and overwhelming scores to cheer the lootball team on. The ranks ol the basketball cheerleaders were, for the first time in several years, blessed with the presence of girls, Retha Rudolph, Miriam Woods, and Ruthie Brown, who, along with Charley Benz, Steve Horn, Chris Dodson, Paul Muncy, and Dick Lewis, lent vocal support to the Battle Ground basketball team.

Points were awarded to the winners of track, wrestling, swimming, basket- ball and softball. No matter who had the rnost points at the time of the tug of war, the winner of that event won in overall competition. The tug ol' war took place in late May at the banks ol' the Harpeth River, a few miles out ol Franklin. A rope was stretched across the river, we raised it, and waited intensely for the signal from Mr. Akin. As the crowd cheered, the beta ter of the two societies pulled the other across the river amid grunts and groans from the losers. 3' :wi Y Gila Big O starts the hundred-yard dash in Greer-Plato competition.

Activities began in the early afternoon Competition with visiting schools in baseball, ten- nis, and track was ollered to the sports enthusiasts. Came booths and food booths added extra en- joyment to the day. Later in the day, an auction was held in the gym with Fulton Beasley, well known Franklin auc- tioneer, in charge. The Jamboree reached its climax with the deli- cious Iish lry dinner and the drawing for the beau- tiliul Dodge CTS.

Hoping to elimi- nate the need ol proctors in the dorms, Mr. Stnithson placed the boarders on a modified honor system. He expected the common sense of the students, strengthened by the omni- present fear of the waspn, to insure order in the dorms. The weak-willed and ntiscltievous boarders, however, failed to live up to his expectations. Numerous and re- peated breaches of conduct, from orange-peel fights to fire- craeker wars, forced Nlr. Smithson to revert back to the l time-honored tradition of proetors. 5 At the end of the hrst semester, the faculty Chose the proetors who would serve for the remainder of the year. Seven seniors: Brantley, XX'rigl1t, Isaacson, Lucas, Gardner, Simpson, and Henry, along with two juniors. Ross and Miner, were chosen. .X few minor incidents, such as ur- ehins challenging Corner, marred the initial days: but these problems were quickly overcome, Once again the dorms at Battle Ground are patrolled by fearless, ruthless enforcers of law and orderg and. at last, all is well.

That desper- ate rush to get all the required books, to schedule classes, to avoid P.E. if possible, and to schedule lunch at the Hrst period available. The time had come to recognize and greet the old students and teachers and to meet and evaluate the new ones. On the wall hung the picture of the class of '68, still remembered, but, almost unsympathetically, mere history to the new arrivals. And let's not forget the fa- miliar landmarks of the school: the War mu- suem, with relics dating from before the Civil War up to the present crisis in Vietnam: the commissary, scene of much after school loiter- ingg the library, with its stereo headsets which allowed the latest hits to be played in sefrecyg and last, but far from least, the study hall, an immortal memorial to the closeness of the stu- dents that are B.G.A., past, present, and fu- ture. Page 105 5 2 ggggfsgs For one group oi' hfty-six boys the return was not quite :ns pzninful because it was the last lime. The seniors were soon LO he irivolved in their hnzll year of work before they had to face the awesome reality of college and life. Page 106 School begun soon after. The Hrst days, as always, were hlled with confusion. But things grztduznlly settled down, :uid everyone was zibruptly reminded of the main function of HCA: education. There wus lionu-work and more homeworkg by all rezlsonalale esti- mates enough to keep one busy lor zu least two years. But we did it, or tried to do it, :ind soon the assignments begun to be taken for granted. Page 107 Page 108 The gym buzzed with life after school, as all the athletic teams resumed practice. It was easier if one was occupied all the time. There was no time to regret the end of sum- mer. As routine settled into oblivion, the year wore on. Friday nights were always good. Freedom for the weekend made everyone ecstatic. The football games did not end in victory, but there was satisfaction in knowing a good ef- fort had been given by the team. Afterwards came the dances, a welcome change from the gloomy proeeedings on the athletic field. The bands were sometimes questionable but always loud. Homecoming was differentg the Exotics entertained after that game. Everyone agreed that they were the bestg even the teachers danced. As the season wore on, everyone looked for- ward to new seasons with better results. Page 109 As the year progressed, those of us who lived in the dorm had a good time, especially alter lights. Countless feats were performed and often the culprits were caught red-handed. Nobody was sale from the threat ol possible dis- covery. And weekend leaves were cancelled in an olten futile attempt to quiet things down. And then there were the afternoons alter school. Music blared from radios and stereos. Contin- uous eard games were played, and Smooth en- tertained with his liberal interpretations of soul. Oliver, the Yellow Butterfly carried on an in- cessant battle with the Nloth. But everywhere May was anticipated with impatience. 'Ml Page 110 Athletics were not entirely successful, as far as the won-lost column is concerned. In every sport, this was a rebuilding year. In football, haskethall, and wrestling, many unclerclassmen gained valuable expe- rience. But the future began' to look brighter. These athletic records were not inclica- tive of spirit or effort hy any means. No one lagged: everyone did his part. lt was usually a case ol' being outniannetl. This is a part ol' athletics, and eventually' we will again be the victors, the unconquera- hle loe. So runs the cycle. Page 111 sf X wo ' ' i' 7 , K' WWE N' Perhaps the most lrctlul event of the day was the long walk from IFE.. especially if you were late to an important class. This was often the case, due to the l'orgetl'ulness of all parties involved. Many dramatic late entrances were made alter the last bell. But if you were lucky, lunch came next, and the walk became a leisurely stroll. Lunch was an occasion to behold. The seniors exercising one of their many privi- leges, were able to go first in line. and it was often amusing to watch the urchins scramble to get behind the last one. Afterwards, conversation was varied, and most people usually went to the commis- sary or to study hall. A familiar sight during both lunch pe- riods was the crowd milling around the mail window, where all personal mail was delivered. liveryonc checked, and often the signs ol disappointment were evidcnt when that letter lailed to come. Page 113 Page 114 Friday came, although many swore it must have been at least a day late. Assembly was restless, the back of study hall unmanageable. But no harm was meant and the faculty was mereilully lenient. Alter school came the cheek-out line, and Mr. Patterson sighed with relief as Oliver, Anderson, Hasty, and McGin- nis eheeked out. Then there was the Exodus, almost ag il' it were a release from a long con- finement. Classes were forgotten and every- one anticipated Saturday night. HIFI kd k N.. X L' L was-s.W ...- in. An important step was taken to revital- ize school spirit. For the first time in five years, the girl cheerleaders were chosen. Retha Rudolph, Miriznn Hloods, and Ruthie Brown Carried on this renewed tra- dition in a commendable manner. Support picked up and the basketball team played better. Alter all, everyone wants to be a crowd pleaser. Basketball cheerlead- ers besides the three girls were Dick Lewis, Chris Dodson, Paul Muncy, Steve Horn and Charley Benz. Page 175 Page 116 it ,H in December 21, Christmas vacation. But more important, autumn is over. For those who keep score by seasons. the year was one third gone. XYe rejoiced, but still there was more to come. lt could be endured, but only on a day by day basis. There was weather, always unpredictable, usually disappointing. lt rained. It hailed, lt snowed, usually on a Monday, too late to keep the boarders at home. After school, snowball fights, the oichins versus the sen- ior dorm. lt is obvious who won. Other sights were familiar. The bare trees, Mr. Smith playing with the dogs, Mr. Frank- lin pedaling to and from school, and the end of practice for the athletic teams. Here twenty or more boys emerged from the shad- owy gym exhausted but jubilant because they were free until the next day. '-s-.., if w 9-if ' W After Christmas came exams: Those grueling reminders that school was not out. TVC studied, we sweated, we stayed up late, and Gnally, we took the tests. The exams in themselves were almost anticlimactic. The waiting was the worst part. Did l pass? Did I fail? How bad was it? All these questions were asked and more. Failing students optimistically stated that they could make up the credit second semester, but they were really scared. And who wouldn't be, for it is easy to make a bad grade under such great pleasure. The task of settling back down to the grind was at hand. The second semester started out with a snow that allowed the day students an extra day of vacation, as most of them were stranded on the slopes of Chick- ering Road. Page 118 In late -Izmuary, Mr. Power again came, and that confusing chore of picture taking re- sumed. Often seen were Dudley and Katzoff running around as if in severe pain or confu- sion. Over 300 pictures were snapped and all ol' the major school activities were covered. In spite of the rough schedule, classes were carried on almost as usual. The senior mem- bers of the Cannonball stall could be thankful that it was over, but the juniors could only wait for the same occasion to occur the next year. Page 119 Page 120 For most of the seniors, much effort was re- quired to stay awake in English class, espe- cially il' it was the last class of the day. The windows were always closed, and the heat in- duced drowsiness in all the students present. But classes continued, and much was learned despite the often imperfect environment. And there were the afternoon football games. Mostly the boarders played, but some day-students joined in. Teams were not al- ways even, but everyone played hard. The game continued until 5:30, time to get ready for supper. Then there was the rush for the showers, the cold water, and often the expres- sions ol' contempt for the dorm as a result. These games were inconsequential, but no one involved will ever forget them. f S. One of the most popular items around the clorm was the telephone. It afforded everyone a link with home and, more im- portant, direct communication with that special someone. Famous for their after- noon sessions were Powell, Oliver, and l.ums, who were often afeusecl, unjustly of course, of violating the five minute rule imposed by Mr. Smithson. But usually ev- eryone was consiclerzite and there were few major arguments. Page 721 Page 122 Impossible as it may seem, the class of '69 be- came nostalgiac as the year went on. The District basketball tournaments came, and the spirit of that great season a few years back was relived for a few short hours. Although seeming insignificant, the greatest transition came when the seniors ordered gradua- tion invitations and were measured for their caps and gowns. Soon after, the impatient juniors were measured for their senior rings: this was their first opportunity to aft the part of their future role as seniors. . sz 'ft L -- M E l K t K X The year 1968-69 will long be remembered for many things. A new administration brought with it a new sense of school unity. The building was also remodeled to provide more practical oflice space. Papa Charlie died this year, and fewer and fewer cars went the back way through town. If a vacant space is discovered, a new senior composite will soon he hanging amid the ones of years past. Chemistry, Advanced Math, the Can- nonball, and all the other senior heartaches will be passed down to a new set of recruits. was I' , t 4 ries, Page 123 Page 124 9 am awk and 9 Zeng tv Ke a pazt 0 tlze Smdem' 30dg As a part of classes, idealistically I am an ambitious student Who contrib- utes more than that which is required.
