HARDING ACADEMY, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, VOLUME 14 SHIELD '71 Harding Academy, when unoccupied, is tor- midable and imposing, yet warm and inviting.

Mrs. Ruth B. French is a most unique per- son. She achieved this status by driving from Byhalia, Mississippi, 30 miles every morning, attending every possible home ball game, play and program. She is always first to buy a ticket for functions from car washes to spaghetti dinners. From early morning to late evening Mrs. French may be found in the lounge or her room 208 preparing for American or World History and sociology classes. Aside from her humorous class discussions, she stays with the paper staff proofreading copy until it is ready to be sent to press and accompanies the Quiz 'Em team to the television station for moral support every game Saturday. Not only is she popular with students, as evidenced by being awarded the Student Council Spirit Award, but alsoafavorite and respected figure by the faculty. On Awards Day '71 she received the Harold Bowie Out- standing Teacher Award. Since MHA is Mrs. French's life, SHIELD '71 is dedicated to that life which has been a guide to students beyond record.

Dur- ing the first semester Dr. Bowie instructed a Sr. High class on Practical Christian Living and the second semester a Jr. High boys class but throughout each of these teaching assign- ments Dr. Bowie took full responsibility for directing our MHA. Qualified Leaders HARDING COLLEGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Several changes made this year in the framework of the administration found Mr. Alley and Mr. Diles each holding new titles. Mr. Alley, Academic Dean, was in charge of curriculum, admissions, and testing, while Mr. Diles, Administrative' Assistant, was respon- sible for the physical plant, athletics, and dis- cipline. Though each of these received important added responsibilities with their new positions, they could be found instructing daily Bible classes.

MHA's Bible Department, a basic and vital influence over the entire school, is staffed by Bible scholars from both our own high school campus and neighboring churches. Rubel Shel- ly, minister of the Getwell Church of Christ, and Jim Moffett, minister at Park Ave., each agreed to instruct a Sr. High Bible class, one of these being a class on Church History and the other a course discussing Practical Chris- tian Living.

Library Home Economics Mrs. Carolyn Batey, B.S., Home Economics, Bible 7. The Home Economics Department worked to give high school girls a background of knowl- edge in the skills of homemaking and manage- ment. This included basics in cooking, sewing and budgeting. Girls found the course both challenging and quite interesting. The work of a librarian includes not only shelving books but also keeping accurate records. As dresses were fitted, Mrs. Batey helped each girl find the best way of completing her individual garment.

The Student Council is a group selected each year by the student body with the idea of representing the students' thoughts and opinions to the faculty and vice-versa. Because of its importance to the students, the Council has in- creased and developed its work by sponsoring varied activities such as the Kick-Off Party, Homecoming, Christmas baskets, and two open sessions with the students. The Council also initiated a new award given on Awards Day to As president of the student body, Chris Dahlberg read an- nouncements and reported to the students in chapel.

These students were approved by the faculty, who judged the students not only by grade average, but also by participation in extra-curricular activities and personality de- velopment and achievement. The new members were inducted into the society with a candle-lighting ceremony in special assembly. Mrs. Haguewood made out tests for the team in preparation for a match. Dennis quizzed Amy in studying and reyiewing for the semi-final match against Coahoma High School. The Quiz- 'Em team was a group of students organized to compete with other schools in the skills of memorization and knowledge. The week of each match, the chosen team of four students studied that week's Corrmiercial Ap- peal in order to answer all questions asked during the match.

Each student involved de- voted long hours to rehearsal in order to per- fect his part, no matter how large or small. Vera Charles lead the Betty Boop girls in a dance at one of Mame's small get-togethers. MAME's Successes Honored MHA Using his varied natural abilities, director Terry Beaty il- lustrated the right way to do it, to it.', To aid in publicizing MAME, the school was given the use of a large billboard, painted by Jim McDaniel. As a reward for her pains and efforts, Donna Bates re ceived a standing ovation at every curtain call. Without the orchestra, under the direction of Jim Chester the production would not have been possible. Anne and Peter carried on many lively discussions over their homework while in hiding. MHA's Drama Department presented the inspiring story of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK in the spring to two evening and two matinee audiences.

Mr. Harding Academy The highest honor which a Senior may re- ceive is that of Mr. or Miss Harding Academy. Selected by the Senior High, these two people are the most admired boy and girl on campus. They are characterized by their leadership abilities and warm personalities. Steve Williford was chosen as Mr. Harding Academy. His happy smile and quick wit bright- ened many dreary school days. To list a few of his activities, he served as President of the Senior Class, sang inACappel1a Chorus, worked in the Key Club, and participated in sports. Perhaps his greatest achievement was the fine Christian example which he set for others. The male members of the Madrigals harmonized during the final chorus program to the lyrics of Bay of Mexico. Miss Harding Academy The honor ofbeing selected Miss Harding Academy could not have been given to a more deserving girl than Miss Cindy Cooper. She contributed unselfishly of her time and talents to make MHA a more special place. Her abil- ities encompassed a wide variety of areas, including being captain of the cheerleading squad, acting in THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, and representing Harding as Junior Miss. In addition to her many accomplishments, she was a beautiful and understanding person who placed the interests of others above her own. Her friendship was highly valued by many students.

N V Dennis Moore and Becky Burton ,W .li zgw, I I., I Mr. Dennis Moore was named Mr. Harding Alternate. His willingness to listen and genuine concern for others made him popular with his classmates. His conscientiousness was seen in his successes on the Quiz 'Em team and by his work as editor of the '71 Shield. Dennis also played in MAME, sang in chorus, and served as Vice President of the Student Council. His energy for activities was amazing, and his dedication to MHA's ideals made the school a better place. Miss Becky Burton was chosen to be Miss Harding Alternate. Because of her beauty and personality, she was one of the best liked girls in her class. Becky was an active Key Club Sweetheart, a dedicated cheerleader, and the Secretary of the Senior Class. The football players showed their appreciation of her by naming her Second Alternate to the Homecoming Queen. Her happy smile made MHA a more pleasant place for her classmates. Janet McCarTer and Nick Wiser Miss Janet McCarter was selected as one of the Outstanding Seniorsi' for 1971. Her beauty, charm, and sweet personality contrib- uted to her popularity. She was President of the Lionettes, a Key Club Sweetheart, and the 1970 Homecoming Queen. Janet was also on the an- nual staff and in the cast of MAME. Her actions exhibited, as the Apostle Peter once said, the unfading loveliness of a calm and gentle spirit. Nicholas Van Wiser was truly ' 'outstanding' ' in every sense of the word. He won the Drama Award for his masterful performances in plays during the past 'three years and the Chorus Award for his work in A Capella and Madrigals. Other demanding jobs which he executed with expertise included serving as editor of the LION and President of the Key Club. His puns livened many a boring class and will be missed in the future by both students and teachers. Chris Dahlberg and Betty Wooten Mr. Chris Dahlberg was a very special in- dividual who will long be remembered by his friends at MHA. He put his whole heart into all that he did, whether it was carrying out his responsibilities as Student Council President, competing on the basketball court, or studying for a Quiz 'Em match. Despite his many extra- curricular activities, he did well in his studies and was an Honor Graduate. Many appreciated him for his friendliness and Christian spirit. Miss Betty Wooten was another Outstand- ing Seniorf' Her helpful and unassuming nature was a tremendous asset for all of the groups in which she worked. She was a member ofA Cap- ella Chorus and editor of a section in the '71 SHIELD. Betty was also one of six Honor Grad- uates. She worked diligently in all that she attempted to do and possessed a wonderful Christian character, which was inspiring to all who knew her. Dayle Higgs and Kenny Willoughby Miss Dayle Higgs was a very gifted person who used her talents to their fullest advantage. Her perfect pitch was a tremendous asset to the chorus, as was her ability to play the piano, She was an accompanist at All State Chorus, and she played the piano for the musical MAME. Dayle also did excellent school work and was an Honor Graduate. Her happy personality and helpful attitude will be greatly missed next year. Mr. Kenny Willoughby was an Outstanding Senior especially in the area of sports. He was presented awards for his achievements in foot- ball and track at the Senior High Athletic Ban- quet and received the honor of Athlete of the Year. Kenny was active in the Key Club, also. His friendly nature and sense of humor made him a favorite with his fellow students. Ann Wilson Honor Graduates , The Honor Graduates were the six Seniors with the highest grade averages. Quick minds and hours of diligent study were required to attain these honored positions. In addition to studying these students were involved in many extra- curricular activities. The balance between work and play, which they set in high school, will aid them in adjusting to college life. Ann Wilson received the honor of Valedic- torian, and Carolyn Hardaway was named Salu- tatorian. These two' girls completed their high school work with high AH averages.

Bill, who was active in sports, won secondplace in the city's decathlon meet. 88 l Favoriies W Stephen Graham and Susan Argo The Freshman Class selected Becky May- nard and Landy Calfee as their class favorites. Becky was as pretty as she was fun to be with, and Landy was popular in the halls and on the basketball court. Susan Argo and Stephen Graham were the eighth grade's class favorites. They were stu- dents from whom anything could be expected. Fun loving and friendly Kay Batey and Billy Bob Hensley were named the seventh grade's most popular girl and boy.

Leia ts Presidential Classroom Seniors Dennis Moore and Ann Wilson rep- resented Harding Academy at the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans, which was held in Washington, D.C. The purpose of this trip was to learn about the many phases of American government. During their week in the Nation's capital, Dennis and Ann attended six seminars each day. When they had some free time, they visited some of the 'famous places in the city, such as the Smithsonian Institute. In addition to studying about government, Dennis and Ann were able to meet young people from all over our country. Their trip was both enjoy- able and educational. National Merit Finalists For the first time in the history of Harding Academy, we had two Seniors to be named as National Merit Scholarship Finalists. This tre- mendous honor went to Tim Jordan and Chris Dahlberg. Because of their National Merit and ACT scores, as well as their high school records, colleges were anxious to have them attend. Tim was granted a Herff Engineering Scholar- ship to Memphis State University, and Chris received a S3400 scholarship to Abilene Chris- tian College. The Potomac travelers returned home filled with knowledge of the Nation's government and stories of new friendships. 5 9 , t Z ' if . , .l at f ,,, , r .

These students were Sue Harrison, Dayle Higgs, David Sullins, Jerry Lewis, Nick Wiser, and Craig Jones. Dayle was chosen as the accom- panist from West Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Chesterltook the group to Nashville, where they rehearsed with young singers from all sections of Tennessee. The chorus performed on March 26 in Nashville's Municipal Auditorium and was directed by Mr. William Trego. In addition to being a great honor, All State was also an unforgettable ex- perience for these students. Teenagers Of The Week Seniors Dennis Moore and Cindy Cooper were selected to be Teenagers of the Week. Each appeared on WHBQ's Talent Party. They were asked questions about current issues, such as allowing eighteen year olds to vote. Both Dennis and Cindy were students who excelled in many areas. Each received many honors during the school year because of his or her many talents and outstanding character. Junior-Senior Banquet The long anticipated Junior-Senior Banquet finally occurred on Friday, May 14, at the Holi- day Inn Rivermont. Master of Ceremonies Bob LaVe11e p r e s e nt e d the splendidly arrayed couples to the faculty and staff, and Eddie Cunn- ingham welcomed the Seniors and faculty on behalf of the Junior Class, who sponsored the banquet. Steve Williford, President of the Senior Class, graciously thanked the Juniors for honor- ing the Seniors with the banquet. The ravenous guests then descended upon l the buffet. Although not everyone ate the quantity of food he desired, everyone agreed that the portion he ate was delicious. The head table smiled approvingly as they surveyed the room decorated to fit the theme Isle of the Tropics. 100 Excitement heightened as each couple was announced and entered in splendid attire. The day's preparations seemed to accent the appetite, as Dennis Moore and Cheryl Tune intently chose from the abundantly arrayed buffet. After a time of eating and conversation, the mass of beauti- ful people turned to enjoy the entertainment. l x , A MV . . 'BZQI' as L 7 .. if ,ff . ,-..

Pure joy was evident on the faces of many Juniors as they received their class rings. However, many tears were shed by, or for, de- parting Seniors during the candle lighting cere- mony. The singing of the Alma Mater ended this memorable night. After the readings of the Prophecy and the Will, Stone Ivy blasted the room with rock and various other sounds. The lighting of his candle from the master candle inspired each Senior to be a light of MHA throughout the world.

' 1970-71 MHA Junior Varsity Y Working with the protection of teammates, Townsend sprung toward the rafters to regain the ball. While the starting five planned strategy with Coach Brown, the cheerleaders boosted morale of the crowd and team. Though apparently blinded by the waving hands of a foe, a Junior Lion maintained dribbling control of the ball. 119 120 Having beaten down that path toward the basket innumerable times during practice, no Lion had trouble during a game. Running up against an aggressive adversary, Black called upon his acquired, artistic dribbling to maneuver around him. That suspended sphere above the basket drew many crowds of eager ball players throughout the season. Being on the better side of a 10-8 gap, the Lions attempted to widen that gap at the charity line. i 122 Cross Country The gaps between the galloping competitors began to lengthen as the mileage began to accumulate. un- Q if fn, 4 Q The desire to reach the finish line, a considerable dis- tance from the beginning, overcame thirst and fatigue. Cross country was initiated at Harding by Coach Armstrong during the second week in September as a prerequisite for those trying out for basketball and not involved in football. The program's purpose was to condition the participants to adequately fulfill the physical fitness that the sport of basketball demands. Practice was observed every afternoon and consisted of a variety of warm-up drills, sprints, hill-climbs and ended by running 6 to 9 miles.

At the Banquet, jubilation and true happiness was evident as Donna and Tommy engaged in sparkling conversation. The Senior boys took over the planning and giving of chapel programs several times throughout the year. 159 The Seniors intently listened as Mr. Bill Brown counseled them on the ordering of graduation invitations. No Senior could resist trying on her robe after re- ceiving it at baccalaureate practice. 160 Seniors Tim and Nick got an early start on Senior pranks by putting the auditorium curtains out of commission. I ! Arranging a suitable seating order took considerably more time to complete than the graduation exercise itself. With the singing of the baccalaureate processional God of Our Fathers , the practicing Seniors entered. The thought of leaving and never again seeing old classmates and friends sombered the party atmosphere of graduation. Nightfall found many Seniors eating Polynesian food at the luau honoring them. 161 162 Thirteenth Annual Commencement Exercises Mixed emotions filled the hearts of graduates of '71 as they marched up the aisle with diplomas in hand. Typical of the action around them, Dennis struggled with his robe, while Chris coaxed him not to walk too fast down the aisle. The chorus, singing together for the last time, inspired the audience with the song The Impossible Dream. , f :tfw-v fiery, -HM 1fv,1fi,4:rz ,,u , ff1,2e12a1ifgfws,f 'f w am 'if'-gf , iiffaigg a i g .. nag f i gig a g Dr. Richard Batey admonished the Seniors that they must learn to cope with the monster of technology.

J n ' o r s The hardest working and most unified class this year was the Juniors. It was their responsibility to organize themselves, work together, and manage to have fun while raising money to finance the Jr.-Sr. Banquet. Last fall found them selling mums at Homecoming, providing concessions at football and basket- ball games, and washing cars on Saturdays. This spring they assumed the leadership for the Valentine festivities. All of this work has given the Seniors of '72 the experience and leadership qualities necessary to function as future leaders of our society. s-if I t !

FARE W ELSLE: Mons The Junior Class planning committee admired gold charms to be given Seniors at the banquet. Selecting rings for the Class of '72 was an important event, requiring careful and serious consideration. Q Larry Kee demonstrated the gourmet technique in handling the cot- ton candy machine, one of the class' livelier projects. A successful and entertaining evening at the Rivermont made the Juniors' year of hard work all worthwhile. 169 170 Sophomore Class officers were Kin Brewer, Pres., Sherri Bowie, V-Pres.g Joan Wiser, Sec., Robyn Sullins, Treas. Sophomores Blending into the mainstream of senior high activity, the sophomore class contibuted their many efforts to make this year successful. Sophomore Lionettes, chorus members, and athletes represented the class' interestin extra- curricular activities. The Drama Department found the sophomores also willing to lend their time and talents to school productions. Working together as a class, they were victorious in the King and Queen of Hearts campaign. A bowling party in the spring ended their successful year. Obviously, this class has begun to take an in- creasingly active role in school affairs. l Debbie Hill sported a stylish fall outfit in the Home Ec. Fashion Show.

Although the ninth grade was denied en- trance into the senior high this year, they ad- vanced in many areas as senior members of the junior high. They became enthusiastically in- volved in a number of extra-curricular activi- ties, demonstrating their initiative and eager- ness. An enjoyable class party included a visit to the Coliseum to see the Harlem Globetrotters. All the students exemplified their sports- manship as well as physical fitness through their active participation in athletics and the P. E. program. These factors combine to pro- duce an outstanding class which will succeed in the future. Class officers were Suzanne Dailey, Pres.g David Kosmitis, V-Pres.g Bill Seale, Sec.-Treas.

Seventh Grade The mad dash to be first in the lunchroom became one of the daily rituals of the seventh grade. Class officers were Larry Stewart, Pres., Ronnie Cheek, V-Pres.g Kay Batey, Sec.g Donna Humphreys, Treas. The seventh grade accomplished their first year of Junior High life with ease and enjoy- ment. The year was high-lighted with a class skating party. Bible classes performed many services for unfortunates,butone which will re- main in their memories was the Easter egg hunt and picnic for underprivileged children. Their enthusiasm, excitement, and inter- est served as a benefit to the entire school. Boys participated in football, track, and bas- ketball, and the cheerleaders ably represented their class at all Junior High games. Seventh grade students were in charge of a very interesting and inspiring chapel program.

AWorld Of Learning After a successful production of their spring play, these two Whitehaven students took their bows. a f 1: ft Z ,ifwf ,,.., W' Wlfsyi The feeling of spring was exemplified through the theme of flowers and animals in this program. 197 198 When one thinks of elementary education at Harding, Mrs. Carolyn Wolfe immediately comes to mind. Mrs. Wolfe has rendered her competent services to Harding's elementary program off and on for eight years. She taught fifth grade on the Cherry Road campus for many years and is now a prominent figure in the kindergarten program at Raleigh. Mrs. Wolfe's versatility is asserted by her ability to work with many age groups of children. For the last few years she has chosen to work with kindergarten children, utilizing her enthusiasm and dedication to work withthe very youngest age, to impress ideals of Chris- tianity upon their minds. Since Mrs. Wolfe exemplifies the ideals of Christian education at Harding Academy, we dedicate the Elemen- tary Shield '71 to Mrs. Carolyn Wolfe. One of the most enjoyable times for the children was when Mrs. Wolfe could play games with them. Mrs. Wolfe - Versatility Exemplified Mrs. Wolfe gave each child the individ- ual attention a five year old needs. Learning math at a very early age was no problem after Mrs Wolfe patiently explained how it was done.

They are not new to Harding, only new to their positions. They combine their efforts with the faculty to give the stu- dents the very best of everything possible in Christian education. Mr. Monty Stotts, principal of the ele- mentary schools, competently fills the de- manding position as Overseer of all elementary campuses. Mrs. Nell Wiser serves as super- visor of instruction, which involves planning each school's curriculum. The secretary of elementary schools is Mrs. Lillie Bodiford, who handles registration of all elementary students. 199 200 Mrs. Martha Ann Miss Regina Bodiford Mrs. Pat Bowie Mrs. Agnes Calfee Miss Donna Chambers Bledsoe Sixth Grade Kindergarten Third Grade Third Grade First Grade Getwell Building Whitehaven Building Raleigh Holmes Road Raleigh Principal Principal view -L Wei if .

This girl displayed her enthusiasm for selling candy for school this year by doing a cheer. The numerous activities of the elementary students at Harding varied greatly from school to school. There were plays, parties, recesses, and skits, just to mention a few. There also were projects for the classes as well as the individual student that enhanced their imagin- ations and their learning. Each teacher tried to have something challenging for her students, whether they were in kindergarten at Raleigh and Whitehaven or in the seventh grade at Holmes Road. Using their imaginations, the children at Raleigh came to school dressed in attire for Halloween. These young homemakers made new curtains for Mrs. Taylor's class this year. These kindergarten students had a different type of Christ- mas party which included breaking a pinata. i ff-iii? fiafss vi- Y i 203 204 Mr. Beaty prepared these Getwell students for THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK by telling them the story of the young girl, Anne. Mrs. Rieben's bulletin board helped her students remem- ber the many presidents of our United States. Student Begins These first graders caused a patriotic feeling to stir in chapel as they pledged Old Glory. Mrs. Wolfe introduced her kindergarten students to color by letting them look through a prism. as N it , -:A I These third grade students made a study and collection of rocks and minerals for their science class. The scientific method was easily understood by the step by step execution of experiments by students. Involvement Early With the direction of Mr. Coates, the chapel program at Holmes Road proved beneficial to the students. Laura Deising showed the display, which was prepared at Raleigh, after their study of Indian life. 'I' 205 206 5 s Competition started at an early age in this kinder- garten class as they had a marble race. Rain or shine, the game must go on was the feeling of these young boys as they played indoors. These children enjoyed displaying their talent on the black board when they were given a break during the day. 'Q The goal of these talented singers was to make the A Capella Chorus when they leave Holmes Road. What big eyes you have was the expression of these stu- dents as they viewed through the magnifier. The GRA-Y Team used self-will and determination to win their games during the year. Sports Physical education was another goal inthe elementary program this year. This goal was reached through football and basketball. Holmes Road and Getwell had teams in foot- ball and basketball that competed against other teams in the city. The younger boys at White Station were given the opportunity to play basketball with the direction of Mr. Stotts at the slumber party they had inthe fall. Every child in the elementary school, whether spectator or participant, was able to enjoy and profit from the recreation the physical edu- cation program provided. The third and fourth grades GRA-Y Team was young ath- letes who played their games with a strong desire to win. Through a lot of practice, these boys built up mental and physical endurance against other teams. Mr. Stotts and these boys played basketball for the classes that spent a night in the gym. 207 208 Football was a most enjoyable sport for all students. Group par- ticipation proved to be a way to have good games and teams. With a feeling of team pride, these basketball players gave all they had to win their games. Energy was let off by these students during the time they played a football game. saga M .K , I J ef The basketball games were filled with fun, hard work, and excitement. . .

As tension mounted during the game, this anxious player took careful aim in hopes of scoring a point. Harding Academy AT Holmes Road These young geographers made a thorough search of the United States' major cities. Creativity was the goal in art classes at Holmes Road as this artist has proven. Another level of education was added to the Holmes Road campus this year, extending the school through the seventh grade. Chris- tian teachers who are both .competent and talented instillcd an attitude of appreciation into the Christian foundation they have built upon in each child. A well-rounded education program was provided, consisting of worship, academics and athletics. As the campus con- tinues to expand, each year, a unified spirit of school enthusiasm continues to develop. In their spare time, students were allowed to browse through the library for new reading material. 209 210 Jamie Baites Lynne Eason Ann Fredericks Janet Gillespie Trudy Hill Rhonda Holcomb Susan Johnston Martha Jones Regina Knott Lisa McHand Rhonda Murray Denise Northcutt Debbie Parker William Parker Kathy Pennington David Phillips Kimberly Richardson Lisa Smith Terri Stanf ill Bonnie Stenhouse Frank Stewart Jeff Taylor Monty Taylor Sam Townsley Something that was very hard for Mr. Watson's class this SEVENTH GRADE Mr. Watson year, was trying to get up their homework without talking Mr. Watson showed the class the different harmful drugs, and what they are used for.

The first through third grades went to the Shrine Circus and also made many individual class trips. Chapel was an important art of the week for these oun children, . P y g who listened so attentively. The school day had a little variety when spooks were present in class on Halloween. One of the favorite activities of this kindergarten class was singing songs with action. The students at Raleigh sold tupperware this year to raise money for the school. With the use of stuffed animals, the children played Show and Tell about fierce wild animals which they had studied.

These young ladies practiced for future crownings in their blooming lives of society. The elementary students at Harding Acad- emy had a successful year. It was filled with learning from studies, projects, trips and ex- periences with one another. Every child was in a spring program this year. Many of the stu- dents flew to Nashville, went to the Indian vil- lage or the zoo, and-had camping trips. The year's events were brought to a close with end-of-the-year parties. All of the students worked hard for pro- motion. Whether it was graduating from kinder- garten to the first grade or for those taking that big step from elementary to Junior High, it was a time to which they looked forward. 253 'lingu- INVOLVEMENT IN BUSIN ESS X Y 256 CC-'.'. .'.'. .y.. ..v.. .,.. .V.... ..- .'.'. ,......... , me , .... ......... ..,.. . .

Kenny is very deserving of this great honor after lettering in three sports for two consecutive years. He is a dedicated athlete and can be counted on to give his best under any conditions. Kenny lettered in football for three years. He will be remembered most for his rugged de- fensive play but proved himself at offense and was named Outstanding Back his senior year. Kenny lettered in basketball two years on junior-varsity, one year on varsity. He also lettered in baseball his junior year but gave it up his senior year to run track. He constantly placed at the top in many events, winning several first and second place ribbons in the long jump and low hurdles. Kenny was named Most Valuable track runner this year.

This situation could be typically said of any high school in Memphis, except at MHA. At Harding the typical, as stated above, was only a bare framework of the confusing, rushed, and hilarious routine we participated in. In our world, that framework had extensions of getting up before the sun to cram for a test, walking down the hall and not being able to keep your mouth closed for saying hi! to almost everyone you see, being consciously interested in your teacher as a person and he in you, praising God while applauding the accomplish- ments of a classmate, wondering when double- period will ever end, not being able to move for fear of stepping on someone during lunch, nod- ding to sleep on warm afternoons, yelling for inspiration and gum at pep rallies, and saying a million good-byes when you'll probably see those same people that night. This was routine. Extra-curricular meant only to your parents that you lived at school. Ball practice on hot, cold and never in-between afternoons, parties on lakes, top stories of buildings and amuse- ment parks, games in town, out-of-town but never near your house, working on plays, proj- ects or publications all day and all night, sing- ing at school, Vance Avenue, or Norman, Okla- homa, preparing, doing and cleaning up left you little time to study, eat, sleep and in need of understanding parents. Student life at MHA '71 was a life of total involvement in activities and whatever sidelights they had to offer. Involve- ment is the story SHIELD '71 has told. 285 286 If one turned to page 41, he would find 41 members of the annual staff. Wow! , he might say, they really had it easy with all those people towork! Unfortunately,the members were not all dedicated to the pub- lishing of this book. The final, grueling job of searching through the piles of unfiled negatives to make lists of the few pictures available, nearly fainting of heat exhaustion in the dark- room, drawing triplicates and erasing three copies to redraw them when pcitures were lost and typing, retyping and re-retyping copy sheets was done by a small group of the most dedi- cated students at MHA. My sincere appreciation to: Betty Wooten for her speediness and cre- ativity in getting the Academics section finished before school was out. Carol Beasley for sacrificing her swim- ming at Janet's for a month, after Harry left, to search through every negative ever made and persevering time and work to finish. The Activities section was the hardest to fill with pictures, and she did a tremendous job through imagination and diligence. Ann Wilson for hounding our photographers to take all her pictures. Ann is the individual who never gives up, works through every known inconvenience and does a superb job, especially with her problem Classes section. Without Ann's quick Wit, sincerity and compatibility with me, I could have easily dropped the entire work. She is an extraordinary person and de- serves more recognition than she receives. Judy White for taking the job most people were afraid of attempting. Many long hours and miles went into going from school to school and trying to tie together the Elementary section. Walking into the task with little knowledge of how to proceed, she did an amazing job. Tim Jordan for supplying the Business section with a look it has never had. Imagina- tion created the variety in that section I was interested in seeing. Cindy Cooper for taking a man's job in selling ads and completing it with a woman's touch. Mrs. Beasley for coming to the rescue and staying in that hideous darkroom printing pic- tures eight hours a day without a break. With- out her, at least 5092, of the pictures would not exist. My mother for slaving over her typewriter days without end. She exhibited more patience, optimism and energy than any staffer. Those odd jobs fell to her, which she did with 1007, effort. Throughout the ordeal of deadline time, there were some extras who made the pain more bearable. My thanks to: Nancy Daugherty for filling Saturday after- noons with the staff's physically demanding game of throwing the picture stamp out the window and running downstairs to find it in the sticker bushes. I Cindy McClure for laughing that contagious cackle while erasing piles of triplicates which made everyone else break up for no reason. Steve Williford for those long talks out on the roof of the school after midnight. Now that the ordeal is over there will be no more staying up all night to write captions, or waiting until 5:00 in the morning to develop film and proofreading pages until 4:15 A.M. No longer will the annual staff room be humming with activity every day of the week, although that will not leave any gap in the staff's social life. Tears, sweat, energy, dedication and stu- pidity went into every page of this book that only the few workers will ever understand. As to the remainder of MHA, continue to change. Never before has anything so great be- gun to emerge as did this year in student life. May everyone involved in MHA '71 always be happy.
