SCOTT FITZHUGH MAY Born: January 8, 1943 Achievements: Football 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Paper Staff 4; Annual Staff 4; Na- tional Honor Society 3; Library Staff 2; Latin Club 1, 2; Science Club 3; Science Award 2; Skeet Club 1; Social Committee 1, 2, 3; Phys. Ed. 1, 2, 3, 4. And now we come to the very popular editor of Penniless— The Big S. Since the seventh grade, Scott has honored us with his presence, and never once has he been seen with his mouth shut. He seems to have a habit of praising himself while scorning others. Scott is the proud owner of the Raven, the car which many thought be- longed to one of the janitors. He leaves AAUS asking Has anybody heard the joke about the nearsighted . . .? HENRY WETTER MORGAN Born: October 25, 1943 Achievements: Football 4; Red Cross Repre- sentative 4; Tennis 4; Annual Staff 4; Paper Staff 4; Social Committee 4; Phys. Ed. 4. All Porky wants for Christmas is his two front teeth, since once, while a young camper, he tripped in the rapids like an awkward clod and bashed them out. He is the only known student who has ever re- turned to M.U.S. after once getting out— he left for Episcopal High in the ninth grade, but foolishly came back for his Senior year. Henry, after sitting behind Al in English all year, has an intense sense of humor (Ho, ho!). Also, after riding with Seelbinder in the famous Toad, Henry has developed nerves of steel. 28

DANIEL THOMAS McGOWN, JR. Born: February 16, 1943 Achievements: Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Annual Staff 3, 4; Honor Council 1, 2, 3, President 4; Paper Staff 3, 4; U Club 2, 3, 4; Science Club 3; Track 2; MUSCET 2; Phys. Ed. 1, 2, 3, 4. I know there ' s not anything in that coat, son, but I want to make sure, anyway. Heh, heh, weakly laughed our Honor Council President to the glowering police- man at the TDS dance. This is one example of Deacon Dan ' s extracurricular activities on one of his nights with the boys. However, these nights have become progressively fewer since last year when Dan ' s well-known romance with Sally began. In fact— the moon struck senior admits— I spend all my time with her. This paragraph was supposed to be longer but we made the mistake of letting the Dea- con type it himself! MICHAEL PATRICK McTIGHE Born: October 20, 1943 Achievements: Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 4; Intra- mur als 1; Science Club 3; U Club 3, 4; So- cial Committee 4. Hey, Coach, if you need two touchdowns next game, put me in twice. This was Spike ' s boast after the Milling- ton game in which, after having accidentally picked up the football to give to the referee, he saw the entire Millington team bearing down on him and desperately sprinted across the goal line. McTighe also fancies himself as a humorist, and can always be found in the Common Room kidding Evans about Madame X. On Friday afternoons, Spike can be seen wandering with a sad look on his face toward the discipline com- mittee meeting. 27

WILLIAM PINSON OXLEY Born: March 30, 1943 Achievements: Football 1, 2, 3, All-County 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Track 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 1; Annual Staff 4; U Club 2, 3, 4; MUSCET 2; Skeet Club 1; Science Club 3; Phys. Ed. 2, 3, 4; Baseball 4. To completely cover Ox ' s high school ex- periences, this paragraph must, of course, include Sharon. Oxley used to be quite a playboy a few years back, but this tragedy was coming to mar his carefree life. During football season, Ox wore out two pairs of scissors cutting out his football clippings from the Press-Scimitar, ESPECIALLY, his All- County picture. Due to circumstances be- yond his control, Ox unfortunately missed every test given by Messrs. Hatchett, More- lock, and Field. JAMES FREDERICK RAWLS Born: July 1, 1943 Achievements: Football Manager 4; Basket- ball Manager 4; Paper Staff 4; Annual Staff 4; Latin Club 3; Phys. Ed. 3. Oh, for a foggy day in London town. Perhaps it would be expedient at the com- mencement of this dissertation upon Sir Jim to outline a few of his predominant charac- teristics. Jim loves England, No, he adores it. When once asked where he was born, he replied— In Chattanooga, unfortunately, but I am only three generations removed from Ireland, a part of the great British Empire, on which the sun never sets and never shall. As we had no cricket, soccer, or whist teams, Sir Jim became our football and basketball manager. Jim is a prolific expert at making himself unintelligible to all with whom he tries to attempt verbal intercourse. Most people are happy that they can ' t understand him, though. 29
