Page 19 text:

The McCallie School consists of teach- ers, students, stall and administration. The glue that bound this organization together was a special group of people dedicated to the school as a whole. Under Dr. Spencer J. McCallie's leadership, the school received a new gym floor and air-conditioning for the chapel. Endeavoring to know the stu- dents better, Dr. Spencer talked to a great number of them, discussing prob- lems and encouraging academic achieve- ment. Mr. Houston Patterson succeeded in serving both the school and the com- munity. Active on campus, he functioned as a mathematics teacher while coach- ing varsity soccer and co-advising the Student Council. Unofficially, he served as an advisor for students in need of a friend. ln every branch of the school there was some trace of work done by Dr. J. P. McCallie. He was active in the Missionary Committee and in raising money for t.he Chattanooga Bible Study Committee. Demonstrating his powerful Christian convictions, he made his in- fluence felt in his school and community. During his second year at McCallie, Colonel John Moore continued the pro- gram he had outlined on his arrival. Working through his ofiicers in daily meetings, Colonel strove to maintain discipline and to make drill more in- teresting for the cadets. Major Arthur Lee Burns chased tar- dies to chapel, watched over the lunch line, and enforced uniform regulations. A man of countless tasks, Maj. put in a twelve-hour day worrying about 1 the student body. Never hurrying, he read lists and explained the complica- tions of school life to new students. Mr. Warren James led the morning hymn, guided the Student Council, and served as advisor to the headmaster. Best known for his work with the senior class, he continued to help boys get into college. Captain Russel Tate labored as head of the junior School and administrator of Marine Physical Fitness Tests and the athletic program. As head of the scholarship program, Mr. C. M. S. Mcllwaine made many changes for the students' benefit. Hold- ing multiple positions, he served as as- sociate headmaster, Senate advisor, Discipline Committee member, and fund raiser for the Sustaining Fund.
