In ribute A tall Texan with the friendly touch of the Tennessee mountains, Mr. Richard L. Williams exemplihes the intellectual atmosphere that is Mc- Callie School and the senior English course he teaches. Hidden behind a mask of studied casualness lies a keen mind that bespeaks at the same time high intellcctuality and ready wit. His unsurpassed breadth of reading experience and enlightened ob- servations of mankind make his classes interesting, informative and unforgettable. Twice master of ceremonies for senior banquets, Mr. Wfilliams stands ready at all times to be of assistance to the student body or the student in- dividually, be he a bewildered seventh grader or sophisticated senior. His counsel and guidance, both personal and academic, will long be valued by many. For his dedication to McCallie and its princi- ples, his love and service to the student body and his inspiration for appreciation of the Hncr quali- ties of literature and life, we proudly dedicate the 1962 PENNANT to Mr. Richard L. Williams. To MR. RICHARD L. VVILLIAMS 5
