JOEL WALL BROWN Born: July 2, 1943 Achievements: Football 1, 2, 3, Co-Captain Honorable Mention All-County 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Baseball 1, 2, 4; Latin Club 1, Presi- dent 2; U Club 2, 3, President 4, National Honor Society 3, 4; President of Class 1, 2, 3; President of Student Body 4. Our quarterback, Little Jody Brown, as the AAill ington radio announcer described him, was one of our best football players despite his fumblings, his incomplete passes, and his non-existent plays which he some- times called in the huddles. Besides his football career, Jody is the President of the Student Council and ex- hausts himself every morning in futile at- tempts to make the eighth graders stay seated until told to leave. Brown is always cheerful and pleasant except when leaving Math class bewilderedly or thinking about La Symphonie Pastoral. STEPHEN BULL Born: January 7, 1 943 Achievements: Paper Staff 4; Annual Staff 4; Phys. Ed. 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Class Red Cross Representative 4. By his addiction to the manufacture and flying of model airplanes, Ruben shows that he thinks of himself as the third Wright brother. In fact, we predict that his end will come when he is carried into the air on the guidewire of a berserk model, al- though it would take a large model to lift his mighty bulk. Another of Ruben ' s crazy hobbies is the analysis of handwriting, through the use of which, he hopes someday to be able to prove that, subconsciously, Rawls hates England. 20

Ed. 1, 2, 3. I ' m as rough as a cob. This is Jeb ' s favorite saying as he grabs people around their necks and chokes them half to death. It is chiefly due to Jeb ' s and Bell ' s little games that the furniture in the Common Room is so cracked and broken. Next to playing baseball, Jeb ' s favorite pastime is going to White Station during the school day in his white Pontiac convertible which definitely has savvy. Of course, Jeb will best be remembered for his baseball ex- ploits and his .001 batting average. CRANMER RIDLEY BOYCE Born.- July 1, 1943 Achievements: Library Staff 2; MUSCET 2- Phys. Ed. 2, 3, 4. Cran is the only senior who is related to one of our great faculty members. Some- how, Cran is kin to Mr. Campbell, or just Beau to Cran, but it doesn ' t do him any good— he still fails. Cran loves New Orleans for its cultural atmosphere— its art museums, its colleges, Rosie Tatoo, the Cat Girl, and Bourbon Street. Yes, says Cran, you can learn a lot in New Orleans. Cran is also a master of military strategy as is obvious from the planning and perfect execution of The Great Panty Raid at Lau- sanne — all under the direction of General Robert E. Boyce.

OLIVER EDWARD CATHEY, JR. Born: July 2, 1942 Achievements: Science Club 3; Honorable Mention Science Fair 2; AAUS Maskers 2, 3, 4; Phys. Ed. 2, 3, 4. And now we come to the President of the L.A.T.T.T.O.A.-Liars and Tall Tale Tellers of America. Oliver Cool ' s fantastic stories of his exploits with Dominique Papalucci and others of equal infamy are often recounted by him in the Common Room, to the utter disgust of those who cannot avoid him. Be- sides the contribution of his stories, Oliver has also given us some beautiful pictures, one of which resembles red and orange hot dogs being sacrificed to the fire gods. Oliver ' s optimistic outlook on life is shown in his poem, I Envy Those Who Are Dead. FRANCIS HAMMOND COLE, JR. Born: December 8, 1943 Achievements: Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross- country 3; Track 2, 3, 4, Placed in District Mile Run 2, 3; Latin Club 2; U Club 2, 3, 4; National Honor Society 4; French Club 4; Annual Staff 3, Editor 4; Paper Staff 3, 4; Library Staff 3; Honor Council 4; Science Club 3; Phys. Ed. 1, 2, 3; National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist; Placed in West Tennessee Mathematics Contest 3. Since Hole is the editor of this annual he thought that he would escape a para- graph, but he was sadly mistaken. Ham- mond is well-known as a great white hunter and a fantastic shot, but who couldn ' t be if he wore glasses as powerful as binoculars. Furthermore, he has a unique form of hand writing which some experts believe is a cross between Sanskrit and Rus- sian. The Memphis Police Department must be as blind as Hickerson is, for he has yet to get a ticket, despite his maniacal driving.
