It is our hope that we have captured on these pages the very essence of student life at MUS and that we have authentically depicted the MUS student -faculty relationship. Also, we have sought to make the 1960 Owl a culmination of the good features of preceding MUS annuals in order to establish a standard for future annuals. DEDICATION MR. ALEXANDER W. WELLFORD The 1960 Owl is dedicated to Mr. Alexander W. Wellford, chairman of Board of Trustees of Memphis University School since the school was chartered in 1954. In 1932 Mr. Wellford graduated from the old Memphis University School where he was a three-letter man and the president of the Senior Class. He received his B. A. degree from the University of the South where he was captain of the football and ten- nis teams. Unlike most board chairmen, Mr. Wellford has supported M. U. S. during its evo- lutionary development during the past six years with dedicated interest and endeavor. He has sacrificed much of his business time in order to lead the school ' s three financial campaigns. 1 I U %i- • WT ■=f2 DMINISTRATION HEADMASTER ' S MESSAGE DR. ROSS M. LYNN Five years ago, Memphis University School was re-established because of the desire on the part of the founders to build a preparatory school which would develop not only academic competency but also a conscience in spite of the comparatively few years of operation. We feel that the philosophy of this program has been tested and proved. Each year new achievements and accomplishments have been realized. This year has seen the completion of a development fund campaign which will make possible new additions to our plant. To the faculty, students, patrons, and friends, I want to express my gratitude for continued interest and generous support.

ALLEN STRAND The Honor Council is made up of two representatives from each of the Junior and Senior classes and one represent- ative from each of the other grades and a faculty advisor. The Council is the highest student governing body at M. U. S. The main purpose of the Council is to enforce the Honor System. There are three major offenses of the Honor Code. They are: lying, cheating, and stealing. If a person has been reported to the Council, it is the duty of the Council to clear that person of guilt if he is innocent, or to recommend a punishment if he is guilty.

Proof of the staff ' s improvements is the fact that The OWL ' S HOOT was accepted by the Tennessee High School Press Association shortly after the first edition was published in autumn.

On August 6, the MUS Beginnings of Civilization Tour will embark from New York City for a tour of seven countries in four continents. While on the trip, the group will tour Piraeus and Athens in Greece, Istanbul and Bosphorus in Turkey, Beirut in Lebanon, Damascus in Syria, Amman, Jerusalem, and Beth- lehem in Jordan, Cairo and Luxor in Egypt, and Rome and Naples in Italy. Such a trip, which is also open to students of other junior high and high schools of Shelby County, is invaluable for the students who will study geography, history, art, or architecture. Few high school or college students have seen the Acropolis of Athens, the mosques of Istanbul, the ruins of Baalbeck in the Syrian Desert, the Holy Land of Jordan, the Pyramids of Gizeh, and the Valley of the Kings in Africa. 73 THLETICS 75 CAPTAINS Syd Butler Jim Haygood COACH JAKE RUDOLPH COACH GENE THORN VARSITY FOOTBALL BOTTOM ROW, Left to right: Mike McTighe; Jody Brown; Bill Oxley; Ned Smith; Jim Haygood (Co-Captain); Syd Butler (Co-Captain); John Laughlin; Felix Laughlin; Freddy Smith; Met Crump.

Playing the most difficult schedule in the history of the school, and competing for the first time for the County League Crown, M.U.S. completed a 3-2 record in league play and a 4-5 record overall. The Owls wound up third in the league behind Whitehaven and Bartlett. Honors come to four of M.U. S. ' s star players, Jim Haygood, Syd Butler, Ned Laughlin, and Bill Evans. Haygood was placed on the first All -County Team while Butler, Evans, and Laughlin were Second Team All-County. Haygood and Butler received further honors of being named All -State Honorable Mention. 77 All -County quarterback Jimmy Haygood fights for valuable yard- age behind the able blocking of fullback Ned Smith in 27-13 opening game win over Kingsbury.

GUARDS George Edwards Bill Beckman CENTERS John Martin Bill Doggrell Richard Brumfield 81 MUS 26 - MILLINGTON MUS unleashed an alert defense headed by George Edwards and a power- ful offense to crush Millington 26 to in the second home game. The Owl offense was spearheaded by the oppor- tune running of Jim Haygood and the crashing sprints of Syd Butler. The first MUS touchdown was set up by a twenty yard toss from Haygood to John Laughlin. The drive was cli- maxed by Butler ' s plunging over from the three yard line. Millington, butter-fingered through- out the game, fumbled deep in MUS territory with the Owls taking full ad- vantage. Haygood ran from the twen- ty yard line to the five, where Ned Laughlin received a pass from his brother, John. Haygood used runs of twenty-seven, twelve, and a final five yards to gain MUS an advantage of 20-0, while Jody Brown set up the Owls ' final tally by racing thirty yards, placing MUS in Millington territory. Jody then pitched out to Butler, who weaved his way to pay dirt amidst frustrated Millington tacklers. Highlights of the game included fine offense line play by Lyle Adams, Robert Dillard, and Bill Doggrell and a jarring tackle by Spike McTighe. MUS 27 - KINGSBURY 13 Syd Butler, darting through holes and following his fierce interference, scored four touchdowns to lead MUS to a 27-13 opening day crush over Kingsbury. The first touchdown was scored on a sprint by Butler around left end after two passes by Jim Haygood, one to John Laughlin and the other to Jody Brown, put the ball on Kingsbury ' s twenty yard line. Two fine punt returns by Bill Oxley set the two Owl touchdowns in the third period. After six plays from, Butler plunged over and iced up the game at 20-7. A pass from Felix Laughlin to Butler and a TD pass from Haygood to Butler put the finishing touch on a terrific offensive show. Kingsbury scored after a thirty-five yard pass play in the second period and again in the fourth quarter when they recovered a fumble inside the Owl fifteen. MUS ' s second touchdown was the result of a fumble recovery by Todd Slaughter on the four yard line. The Owls had just lost possession of the ball after a sixty yard drive stalled on the one yard line. Bill Beckman, Bill Evans, and Wicky Johnson led the defensive attack which stalled the Falcons throughout the game. 82 MUS 33 - GERMANTOWN 7 The powerful offense of the MUS Owls, led by Syd Butler, Felix Laughlin, and Jody Brown, scored after only seven plays and slapped Germantown with a 33-7 shel- lacking. Butler and Laughlin each tallied twice, and Brown went over for the other score in the league game that was played on the Germantown field. Butler used runs of 65 and 47 yards to start the Owls off in the first and second quarters. Brown and Laughlin, playing as junior halfbacks, also had good nights; Brown went over for the second score, and Laughlin went to town in the last half, cracking over twice to put the game on ice. Much credit must be given to Robert Dillard, Brandon Jones, and Bill Doggrell, who were able to continually open holes in the middle on offense. Other highlights of the game included a fine catch of a forty yard pass by Carl Olsen and a timely defense led by Bill Evans, John Bell, Wicky Johnson, John Martin, and George Edwards. MUS 21 - COLLIER VILLE 7 A timely defense and a determined offense presented MUS with a thrilling 21-7 margin over Collierville. It enabled the Owls to remain undefeated in three County League games with a 4-0 overall record. After Carl Olsen crawled over a fumble, penalties mixed with short runs to move the ball within close range of the Collierville goal. There Bill Oxley bucked through the left side of the line for the first TD. A sustained drive by hard running Collierville ended with a 28 yard touchdown run and the score was knotted a 7-7. Syd Butler, on a screen pass from Jim Haygood, raced down the sidelines as three blockers snowed under the only defender there. Haygood added the extra point and later connected with N. Laughlin for a touchdown to wrap up the game 21-7. W m ' 0 A MUS 14 - SEWANEE MILITARY ACADEMY 18 A late second half rally by MUS failed and the Owls dropped their first game of the season, 18-14, to SMA. After trailing 12-0 at half- time, MUS gained momentum in the third period on passes by Jim Haygood then scored on a short pitch to Ned Laughlin early in the fourth quarter. Sewanee scored again in the last quarter and seem- ingly put the game out of reach at 18-7. Again the passing of Haygood kept MUS alive by carrying the Owls sixty yards to a second score. An on-sides kick-off recovered by John Bell iji the final moments gave MUS two chances on long passes that almost turned defeat into victory. Not enough credit can be given to Haygood who totaled 220 yards on passes and runs in this game. MUS 6 - BATTLE GROUND ACADEMY 28 MUS received a little consolation in the BGA game in the second half, when the Owls scored once while holding Battle Ground scoreless. But in the first half, BGA had accumulated 28 points to crush MUS 28-6. MUS was put in the hole im- mediately when BGA returned the kick-off all the way, but Jim Haygood, who amassed 176 yards for the day, mixed passes to John and Ned Laughlin, and Ned Smith to bring the Owls close to the goal. However, a fumble and two passes ruled out of bounds stalled this drive for MUS. The remainder of the first half was all BGA except for three brilliant kick-off returns by Jody Brown of 20,43, and 35 yards. MUS ' s defense, including Tom Hutton, Bill Beckman, Bill Evans, and Jody Brown held BGA to thirty yards on the ground in the last half. Early in the fourth period, Haygood with his passes, and Brown and Felix Laughlin with their runs, led MUS to the score and again to BGA ' s seventeen yard line as the game ended. MUS - BARTLETT 27 ' ' MUS began the Bartlett garhe by driving 65 yards to within five yards of the goal line but from then on Bartlett com- pletely out-played the Owls for a 27-0 victory. After intercepting a pass, Jim Haygood completed a thirty-four yard pass to Ned Laughlin; then Syd Butler and Felix Laughlin brought MUS to Bartlett ' s five where the drive stalled. Bartlett scored during the last twenty seconds of the first half to lead 6-0. They again scored on a 53 yard run after starting where one of Alan Ballew ' s line drive kick-offs rolled dead. Butler, the only Owl able to gain with any consistency, was unable to carry the entire load and MUS could not pene- trate midfield in the second half. 84 MUS 13 - WHITEHAVEN 21 Until the last eight minutes of the game, MUS was in a position to upset perennial County League champions Whitehaven. However, Whitehaven stopped an Owl drive inside the twenty and then broke through for a seventy yard touchdown to finish the scoring at 21-13. Twice MUS took the lead only to have Whitehaven grind out yardage with their powerful single wing to re- capture the margin. Their first touchdown came on the last play of the opening half. After being held to minus yardage in the first quarter, the Owls broke the ice when Felix Laughlin plunged over from two yards out to give MUS a 6-0 advantage. A twenty-five yard scamper down the sidelines by Syd But- ler set up the score. After MUS had driven from their own thirty-seven yard line to within the Tigers ' thirty, a fourth down situ- ation saw a long pass from Jim Haygood and a sensational catch by Ned Laughlin put MUS in position for a second TD. Then John Laughlin slanted off tackle to put MUS ahead 13-7 midway in the third period. The game was marked by dogged defense on the part of the heavily outweighed Owls and a dashing 30 yard run by Bill Oxley. Sparkling defensive play was turned in by such players as Butler, Haygood, Bill Beckman, George Edwards, and Dan McGown, ;Who recovered a Whitehaven fumble on MUS ' s two yard line to stop their first drive. MUS 13 - WHITE STATION 27 MUS, in the final game of the year lost 27-13 to rival White Station, whom the Owls had thwarted for two straight seasons. MUS was able to take a 7-6 lead when a pass from Jim Haygood to dependable Ned Laughlin put the Owls on the two. John Laughlin bucked over for the score to overcome a 6-0 deficit. However White Station again took the kick-off and marched 65 yards to regain the lead. Two more Spartan scores put the game out of reach. MUS drives in the second half were staved off and the game ended 27-13. For the first time in two years, the fafniliar figure of Bill Doggrell was missed at center, for he left the game having received a deep cut. However, Richard Brumfield proved that he could fill the position very capably.

The highlight of the season was when four of the players, Jimmy Haygood, Syd Butler, Ned Laughlin, and Bill Evans, were selected on the All -County team. In addition, Haygood and Butler were further honored by being selected on the AU- State team, the highest honor accorded any MUS athlete in our history. The basketball team compiled a very fine 15-5 record in the regular season, good enough for third in the district be- hind Bartlett and Bolton. During the season the Owls beat such highly regarded teams as White Station, Whitehaven, Brownsville, and South Side. The only teams to defeat the Owls were Bartlett, Bolton, and South Side. The baseball team finished fifth, being beaten out of a place in the playoffs on the last day of the season. Highlight of the season was when Haygood and Kent Ingram made the All-County team.

The season began with the Owls competing in a meet at Whitehaven with the Tigers, Catholic High, Jackson, Tennes- see, and Clarksdale, Mississippi. The Owls finished fourth, but won several events. The next scheduled meet was rained out, but the Owls defeated Germantown in a field-event meet at M.U.S. Then came the preliminaries of the District Meet, with such teams as C. B. C. , Whitehaven, Messick, Germantown, Kingsbury, and Tech.
