FRANCIS DUNCAN GIBSON, III Born: June 25, 1943 Achievements: Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2; Basketball 1; Paper Staff 2, 3, Editor 4; National Honor Society 3, 4; Annual Staff 3, 4; Library Staff 1, 2; U Club 2, 3, 4; French Club 4; Phys. Ed. 2, 3, 4; Delegate to Christian Life Conference 4. According to Dee, AAUS would have had undefeated football teams for the past three years if only he could have gone out. The North Carolina flash, the only man in the world with freckled teeth, is the editor of our paper, but when he hears any criticism of it, his quick reply is, I am only editor, I don ' t have anything to do with it. Dee almost consented to attend our cheerleader party, but after weighing the decision care- fully, he decided that he owed it to his feminine public to do his usual Saturday night job— parking. To sum it up, If confi- dence makes the man— What a Man! THOMAS WAYNE HAYDEN Born: April 10, 1942 Achievements: Transferred from Harding Academy 4; Annual Staff 4; Paper Staff 4; Phys. Ed. 4. This is a rather difficult paragraph to write because Tom hasn ' t been at school enough for us to get to know him well. Although Tom has thousands of girls, they all look at him as a brother. Too bad! Tom suffers from ulcers, and we have often seen him, on the rare days when he decides to come, sipping milk and crackers in the cafeteria. We know now that he is extremely wise; crackers are better than ravioli any time. 23

EDWARD HULL CRUMP, III Born: April 17, 1941 Achievements: Football 4; Track 3, 4; Phys. Ed. 3, 4. Meat was elected Best-dressed in the Senior Class because his shirts were all so thread- bare that he had to wear a sportcoat every day to cover up the holes. But no one has thought to tell him that dirty, nasty tennis shoes just don ' t go with sport coats. Be- sides his clothes, Ed ' s most distinguishing characteristics are his indescribable noises and his strange expressions such as Mickey-mouse. In conclusion, we must say that Meat is the only Senior who is excused on voting days. WILLIAM DAVIDSON EVANS, JR. Born: January 20, 1943 Achievements: Football 1 , 2, 3, Co-Captain, All-County 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Base- ball 1; U Club 2, 3, President 4; Honor Council 2, 3; Student Council 4; National Honor Society 3, 4. If you can ' t win fair, win anyway! This is typical of the witty Poor Bill sayings. Between his trips to West Memphis, playing sports, and dodging Fanny ' s butcher knives, the All-County boy still finds time to court Miss Linda. Guillermo starts off his day by gargling vanilla milk shakes with a towel over his head, and chases them with crunched raisins and apples. Then he goes home to read about Ole Miss in his 137,321 football books. Evans has a very unusual family— What other boy do we know who calls his father Smiley, and how many fathers do we know who call their son, Evans. Any time a fellow classmate needs help, he can go to Evans and receive the cheery saying— That ' s your little red wagon. 22

WILLIAM THOMAS HUTTON Born: June 25, 1943 Achievements: Football 1, 3, Honorable Mention All-County 4; U Club 3, 4; Annual Staff 4; National Honor Society 3, President 4; Library Staff 2; French Club 4; Phys. Ed. 1, 2, 3, 4. Although Tuxedo Tom may not be the smartest person in the world, after a few roof beers, he loosens up and begins to come forth with many wise sayings. At present, Tux is President of the National Honor Society, but he ' d better watch his trigonometry grades. Tux is the final au- thority at MUS upon all questions of formal attire, and is willing to lend any one of his eight tuxedos to any of his friends. Tux has a very active football mind— Remember the touchdown he cost us when he was the 1 2th man on the field? JOSEPH REEVES HYDE, III Born: December 27, 1942 Achievements: Football 1; Basketball 1, 2; Annual Staff 3, Business Manager 4; Social Committee 1, 3, President 4; Tennis 3, 4; Latin Club 2; Red Cross Representative 4; Cheerleader 4; Chairman, Youth for Nixon in Shelby County, 4. And now we come to the politician of the senior class. Reeves earned this title by heading the magazine drive, (which netted at least $100), by being teenage campaign manager for Nixon (who lost the election), and by being business manager of this annual (which speaks for itself). He has a very mercenary mind. For the past two years, he has tried to double his weekly allowance by betting on MUS football games. (Of course, he always bet against us.) This is hard to believe since Reeves wore the skirt for the football team as a cheerleader. He leaves MUS six times every year in order to go to Nassau to beachcomb. 24
