' :MSi ' 63 Memphis University School, though its organization has Ijeen changed, has had a proud and colorful tradition of over half a century. In order to instill in the reader ' s mind a more vivid picture of what M.U.S. really means, and to convey an accurate account of the past tradition of which so many of us know only vaguely, the editors of this annual present a special feature PROFILES OF AN ERA Originally established as Werts and Rhea in 1893, the old University School was first located in the Bethel Building at Adams and Charleston. In 1896 the school moved to the Clara Conway Building on Poplar, and then in 1899 finally l)ec ame estalilished on its own campus at Madison and Manassas. By 1903 the school was being referred to as The Memphis University School; however, the name was not officially changed until 1910. From the l eginning, the curriculiun at M.U.S. has been very thorough. The 1894-5 catalog states that the threefold purpose of the school was: (1) To prepare students thor- oughly for Yale, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, U. S. Military Academy, U. S. Naval Academy, Princeton, University of Virginia, and other leading colleges and universities of the coun- try; (2) to give them substantial training in the various branches of a liberal education, and thus fit them for the business and respon- sibilities of life; (3) to develop them into high-toned Christian gentlemen. The school ' s preparatory work was so good that by 1914 M.U.S. students were being admitted without entrance examinations to such universities as: Virginia, Chicago, Pennsylvania, Purdue, and Sewanee, while Virginia, Washington and Lee, Tulane, and Hampden-Sidney were even offer- ing free tuition to high ranking M.U.S. gradu- ates. Of course M.U.S. students have always had activities besides the academic. Interscholastic football, for instance, was begun in 1894 dropped for several years, tlien permanently riie Founders: Werts and Rhea This is the Old School as it was in 1914. The building still stands at 23 South Manassas overlooking Forrest Park from its grassy terrace well above the street. The building looks much the same from the out- side as it did fifty years ago. even the date, 1899, is still visi- ble. But the interior has been divided up by cheap partitioning and is in use by the University of Tennes- see as a dormitory. re-instated in 1898. In this, as in everything else, M.U.S. students excelled ; tlie 1904 team was un- scored upon by six out of seven teams. School spirit ran high at these athletic contests; a game in 1900 with C.B.C. ended in a free-for-all over a score dis- pute. ( Feelings were hurt so badly on both sides tlial tlie two schools didn ' t play each other for another twenty years.) Baseball, introduced in 1895, was also popular with the students. The team played not only high school teams but also college teams, and won several city championships. Other extracurricular ac- tivities were quite numer- ous in the Old School. some of the clubs being the Mandolin Club, the Hunt Club, the Riding Chm. the Lunch Club, the Auto Chil). and a Fresh Ail Club. M.U.S. Topics, the school newspaper, was first puli- lished in 1900, and tlie annual in 1903. Originallv named the M.U.S. -Kito (after a common denizen of these parts), the an)uial ceased to be published after a few years, but was begun again as the Red and Blue in 1927. The school colors, red and blue, were decided by a vote of tlie student body in 1898. The combination was the compro- mise result of a closely split vote between the colors of Harvard and Yale. The school continued turning out excep- tionally fine scholars, such as Richard Halliburton, world famous travel writer and adventurer, until the early nineteen thirties, when it was forced to suspend op- erations as a result of America ' s great de- pression. In the 1930 issue of the yearl)ook paper the editor wrote a sentence in his editorial to the senior class that could well serve as an epitaph to the whole era: Fel- lows, it ' s all over now. In 1953, however, plans were laid for a new school, which was to closely parallel the M.U.S. of the early twentieth century, and in 1954 was chartered as a general welfare or non-profit organization. It was decided that the new school would use the same name as its predecessor, and would carry on the traditions of the Old School. A very definite connection between the old and tlie new was actually written in the charter. The new M.U.S. graduated its first sen- ior class in 1958, and ever since then has been actively carrying on the traditions of the old M.U.S. We still use the same colors, have an honor system much like that of the Old School; the school crest and motto are still the same, and we still use the de- merit system which dates from as early as 1899 (needless to say, this is not the most popular of M.U.S. ' s traditions.) Even study halls are a part of M.U.S. tradition, dat- ing back from before the time of this 1897 group. Study hall exemption, too, is tradi- tionary; the Old School equivalent of the exemption list was the Fresh Air Club made up of boys excused from study hall be- cause of their scholarship. 12 M.U.S. has an ex- cellent tradition to follow. The stu- dents feel that it has followed it tvell. Zbc Ibcmpbie Univcveitv 5c boo I A DAY SCIH )  I. l ' k I ' .nvs 4J !!U!nl fM ' pupil-. Scvrn instructor . Hcn r V ' - T[| trin.

Madison and Manassas Sts 13 The former loca- tion of the school having been sur- rounded by the groivth and conges- tion of the city, a new campus ivas constructed i n 1953-5 at 6191 Park, just outside the city limits. The new location in- cludes ninety-four acres of beautiful land, and spacious colonial style build- ings. Classes began in 1955. with many alumni of the Old SchooV enrolling their sons and grandsons. Until 1956 the school in- cluded o ily grades seven through ten, but it expanded to grade eleven then, and in 1957 M.U.S. was amin pradu- ating seniors. !4 Among the new traditions at M.U.S. is the custom of hav- ing a senior commons room. The commons room provides a phice where the seniors can meet and relax in a game of pool or ping- pong, or have a comfortable place of their own to study. Despite some differences today, after nearly three quarters of a century, Mem- phis Universi- ty School ' s ex- istence might ivell be exem- plified by the phrase ' ' change, but with tradi- tion. ' ' 15 4 FACULTY 16 ' 63 COL. ROSS McCain LYNN was one of the found- ers and has been the headmaster at Memphis University School since its beginning. He re- ceived his A.B. Degree from Presbyterian Col- lege and his LL.D. in 1951. In 1948 he re- ceived his M.A. degree in education from the University of North Carolina. Col. Lynn did graduate work at Memphis State University and Duke University. During his college days he lettered in four varsity sports, was foot- ball captain, uas an All-State end. and held membership in Blue Key, Honorary Scholastic Society, and Pi Kappa Alpha. He was gradu- ated cum laude. During World War II he served as a Lieutenant Colonel, nnth thirty months in the Air Force in the Central and South nest Pacific. Col. Lynn is listed in Who ' s Who in American Education and Who ' s Who in Tennessee, and is a member of the Kiwanis Club, American Legion, Military Order of World Wars, The Executive Club, the Memphis University Club, and the Mem- phis Athletic Club. He is a past president of the Memphis Association of Independent Schools, and is on the boards of Lausanne School and Presbyterian Day School, ivhere he tvas headmaster before coming to MUS. He is a member of the Reserve Officer s Asso- ciation, is Secretary of the Board of South- ivestern College, is Vice-President of the Mid South Association of Independent Schools, and currently president of the Southern Asso- ciation of Independent Schools. Col. Lynn has been an elder of Second Presbyterian Church for a number of years and is active in church ivork. MR. JOHN C. BLAIR, a relative newcomer on the MUS scene, brings a varied background and wide ex- perience to his post as Spanish I, II, and III instructor. Having received his B.A. Degree in languages from Southwestern College in Memphis in 1960, and his M.A. from the University of North Carolina in 1961, Mr. Blair was a member of four honorary fraternities ivhile in college: Psi Chi, in the field of psychology; Alpha Psi Omega in dramatics; Phi Beta Kappa, in education. His dramatic interests ranged from comedy to religious plays. Mr. Blair ' s exceptional ability brought him the position of a three-month summer missionary to Puerto Rico, and three-month literacy missionary to Mexico, ivhere he has traveled every summer since he was 18, having last year taken an MUS tour there. He is faculty advisor to the swimming team at MUS. Not much can be said about MR. EDWARD E. BLAND that isn ' t common knoivledge to all of his many friends and admirers with ivhom he has come into contact at MUS in his many years of devoted service to the school. Mr. Bland is an unheard-of ap- pellation around the campus; he is Coach Bland to every student. Coach Bland earn ed his B.S. Degree in 1951 at the University of Tennessee, and his M.A. from Memphis State University. He has long been an avid supporter of UT, his alma mater. Before coming to Memphis University School, he taught at Whitehaven High School. Tennessee history, Bible, and physical education have been his line since his arrival here, and he has coached Varsity, B-Team, and Junior High fool- ball. Coach Bland has been a member of the National Guard, and a member of the United States Air Force; he spent thirty months in the Pacific during World War II, an arms maintenance specialist. In his three years at MUS, MR. PHILIP EDWARDS has made unprecedented advances in the Mathematics Department; his influence has also pervaded the Sci- ence Department; he was made its chairman last year. Mr. Edivards teaches a very chcdlenging senior mathe- matics course, as well as a difficult physics course and second year algebra and calculus. He received his A.B. Degree from Vanderbilt University in 1951, and his M.A. from Peabody State Teacher ' s College in 1959, and is at present ivorking on his Ph.D. A member of the Air Corps, he was a radar observer and ivas in Japan for two years. At the University of Tennessee, he spent tivo years and obtained his degree in chemical engineering. Mr. Edwards is a member of the Ameri- can Association of Physics Teachers and the Tennessee Mathematics Teachers Association, as ivell as the Ameri- can Institute of Chemical Engineers. He founded the Ham Radio Club at M.U.S. J9 One miiiht say that MR. WILLIAM HANSARD ' S most outstanding talent is music. Besides being our li- brarian, he has recently become responsible for an M.U.S. choir, composed of boys from the lower grades, who lead the singing every Friday morning on the Hyde Auditorium stage. He has volunteered his talents to lead the singing of hymns during our regular chapel services also, which has improved participation considerably. Mr. Hansard has sung in the opera in the past, and at one time tvas direc- tor of a band at Coming, Arkansas. He is the in- stigator of the M.U.S. Band, which has constantly spurred our teams on to victory. On a choir schol- arship at Arkansas, Mr. Hansard earned his B.S.E. Degree in social science, in 1958. He minored in library science. In addition to his library ivork at the school, he teaches seventh grade geography. At present he is the music director at Raines Hill Baptist Church. MR. WILLIAM HATCHETT, Chairman of the English Department at Memphis University School, is an accomplished scholar and educator. He has had a ivide range of experience, having received his B.A. Degree at Southwestern College in 1949, his M.A. at Columbia University in 1951, and having attended Cambridge University during 1953-1954. A unique opportunity took him to Athens, Greece, ivhere during 1954-1955, he taught at the Anglo- American High School. Since then he has been a most esteemed professor at Memphis University School, teaching the junior and senimr English courses, and the honors course in world literature, and serving as faculty advisor for the newspaper, liason between the senior class and the faculty, and architect of the school ' s history, published in the ' ' Owl ' s Hoot. Mr. Hatchett ivrote the Study of Books, an English text now being used at M.U.S. Mr. Hatchett is indeed becoming the Mr. Chips of Memphis University School. 20 Without a doubt one of the ivitliest teachers on the M.U.S. campus, MR. CHARLES KELLEY. is a favorite of all. Mr. Kelley attended prep school at McCallie in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and received his B.B.A. Degree from the University of Chattanooga. He has been in the United States Naval Reserve five years, with active duty in Panama and some time at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. His travels have also taken him to Mexico and Canada. As head of the biology department at M.U.S., he teaches, general science, health, and biology, having done graduate ivork in science at the University of Tennessee. In the intramurals department, Mr. Kelley has done considerable work, and even instituted a bad- minton tournament this past year. Having been for several years a professional tennis instructor at the Memphis Country Club, he has coached the M.U.S. tennis squad from its beginning. As faculty advisor to the Astronomy Club and the Social Committee, Mr. Kelley is an indispensable member of our faculty. As head of the Memphis University School history de- partment, MR. LEIGH MACQUEEN ha s taught Umicd States history and government and modern European history. His dynamic lecturing has been a constant source of interest for many of his students. Mr. Mac- Queen received his B.A. in history from Southwestern College in 1955; he did graduate ivork at Vanderbilt University. Previously, he taught at Presbyterian Day School, where he ivas director of athletics and chair- man of the science and history departments. During the past year at M.U.S. he had a hand in science, as biology teacher, in addition to liis history courses. Be- ing of Scottish descent, Mr. MacQueen was responsible for one of the most novel chapel programs in the his- tory of the school: he wore a full Scottish outfit of kilt, tartan, and other items, and then gave a highly in- formative talk on the clan system and dress in Scot- land. His interests range from stamp collecting to golf. ne ,s ;; memJ)er of tli e Memphis Astronomy Society. and has also served as faculty advisor to the annual staff for two years. 5 W m 1 A recent addition to the M.U.S. faculty is MR. WILLIAM MILLS, more pop- ularly knoivn as Billy. ' ' Mr. Mills came to M.U.S. in 1961 to teach eighth and ninth grade English. His cultured air, versatility, and wit have sparked both an unusual interest in his courses and a decided popularity among the students. Having earned his B.A. in English at Southjvestern College, Mr. Mills did graduate ivork at Memphis State University. During World War II he served as a sergeant in the United States Army. Active duty took him to the Philippines and other islands in the Pacific. For sev- eral years Mr. Mills ivas in the real estate business, but realized that his calling ivas teaching, and tackled his new profession tvith enthusiasm. Dur- ing the summer of 1962 he studied at Cambridge University in England, and traveled extensively around the continent, especially in Italy. MR. DAVID MORELOCK, professor of French at Memphis University School, graduated ivith honor ' s in that subject from Southwestern College in 1954. He was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Paris in 1955, when he received his B.A. Degree and his Certificat d ' Etudes. At Tulane Uni- versity he studied under a scholarship in 1956-57. He is fluent in French and Spanish, and proficient in Italian, Russian, German, and Greek. Since his childhood he has been active in the theater and the opera. He has been in numerous plays at the Front St. Theater and the Little Theater, and has been the Memphis Opera Theater director, as well as having acted in the Memphis Shakespeare Festival. He is the head of Memphis University School ' s Dramatic Club, and has served as faculty advisor to the annual staff for several years. Mr. Morelock, ivhose clothes are the es- sence of fashion, is without question the best dressed teacher at M.U.S. 22 ' t ' if-- : ' i 5 Wi ' i «)i.i ' !?C! Though there has been some doubt about the matter, MR. CHARLES MOSEY admits that he is a direct descendant of the famed ' ' Grey Ghosl of the Confederacy. This connection has been a source of good- natured joking between him and the stu- dents at M.U.S., by whom he has more than once been referred to as the ' ' Major. ' Mr. Mosby has studied music under sucli fa- mous musicians as Myron Myers, Carlisle Floyd, who ivrote the opera Suzzanna, the American contribution to the Brus- sels World Fair, Ernst von Dohnanyi, a one-time instructor of Bela Bartok, (ivho is known to have at one time charged S60 per hour for lessons), and Robert Goldsand. Mr. Mosby leaches piano pri- vately at M.U.S. and Southwestern Col- lege, and has for several years been re- sponsible for the music in our ?norning Chapel programs. In 1951 Mr. Mosby re- ceived his B.M. Degree from Southwest- ern, and in 1953 earned his M.M. from Florida State University. As a member of the U. S. Army he won the Third Army Talent Award, which led to a nalion-wide television appearance on Arlene Francis ' ' Talent Patrol Show. He has played rhythm and blues. and has played the piano in dance bands. MR. CARL PATTERSON is one of the young- est teachers on the M.U.S. scene, having come to M.U.S. after his graduation from Memphis State University, ivhere he stud- ied four years and received his M.A. in education. All through his term at Mem- phis State Mr. Patterson played basket- ball. In 1959 he arrived at M.U.S., and since then has taught history, health, and Bible in the loiver grades. He has coached junior high and varsity basketball, and has assisted at varsity football. During the summer of 1962, he ivorked tvith the boys at M.U.S. Day Camp basketball clinic, and has been one of the instructors in other fields at the camp. During 1962 he was in charge of the swimming facili- ties at M.U.S. 23 Memphis University School is indeed fortunate in hav- ing MR. JERRY PETERS on its faculty. Mr. Peters graduated from Southwestern College in 1960, re- ceiving his B.A. in political science. At Memphis State University, in 1962, he received his M.A. de- gree. Having come to M.U.S. in 1960, Mr. Peters has proved to be invaluable in numerous ivays. As ivell as teaching the course in United States Gov- ernment, and one in Mathematics, he has been a physical education coach and Junior High Athletic Director, and has coached Varsity Track, Junior High Football and Basketball. In college he played basketball and baseball; he is a member of the Memphis Track Club. Another laurel in Mr. Peters athletic wreath was his membership in the Two Mile Relay Team of West Tennessee in 1955, and of the Mid-South 1956. MR. JACOB RUDOLPH is a graduate of Georgia Technical Institute, where in 1953 he received his B.S. Degree in Industrial Management. After four years of college football, his extraordinary talent in this sport merited him appointment to All- American on defense in 1951. At Georgia Tech. he took Oglethorpe Education courses. For two years he also did graduate ivork at Memphis State University. In the United States Air Force for two years, he became a First Lieutenant. Be- fore coming to M.U.S. in 1958, Mr. Rudolph taught at Darlington School in Rome, Georgia, for a year. Since his arrival here, he has taught first year algebra and eighth grade mathematics, and has been the varsity football coach. In addi- tion to football. Coach Rudolph has coached B- team basketball and varsity golf. He has been a professional golf teacher, and is a brother of the very famous golfer. Mason Rudolph. 24 With his major in history and his minor in phys- ical science, MR. ROBERT SMITH graduated from Michigan State Universtiy in 1956, re- ceiving his A.B. Degree in history. He did graduate ivork at Memphis State University, and in the summer of 1962 studied at Mon- tana State University on a National Science Foundation Scholarship. He is at present studying physics under the same program. Be- fore coming to Memphis University School in 1957, Mr. Smith taught at Collierville High School, and worked at one time as a building contractor. At M.U.S. he teaches chemistry, an integrated chemistry-physics course, phys- ical science, and geometry. He has coached junior high football and is presently assisting with varsity football. Mr. Smith holds mem- bership in the Tennessee Science Teachers Association. During his years at M.U.S. he has served as faculty advisor to the student council, and, among other things, has donated an exceptionally fine pool table to the school ' s facilities. MR. JOHN MURRAY SPRINGFIELD received his B.A. De- gree from Southwestern College in 1951 and his M.F.A. Degree from Princeton University in 1954. Having spent four years at Bethel College, he came to Memphis Uni- versity School in 1958. Since then he has been teaching seventh grade English, geometry, and first year algebra. Mr. Springfield holds membership in the Tennessee Math Teachers Association. He was choirmaster and organist of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion in Mem- phis, and is a member of the American Guild of Organ- ists. Upon numerous occasions, Mr. Springfield has donated his services to the chapel programs of M.U.S., directing hymns and, on occasion, playing the piano. 25 MR. ALLEN STRAND, Administrative Assistant and teacher of ninth and tenth grade English, in 1958 won the North Carolina State Open Tournament, and in 1959 held the Tennessee State Men ' s Championship, in tennis. He re- ceived his A.B. Degree from Davidson College in 1952, his B.D. Degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in 1955, and his M.A. from Memphis State University in 1962. His major ivas education and his minor ivas Eng- lish. Mr. Strand ivas in the Army from 1955-7, and taught English and Spanish at Darlington School in ' Rome, Georgia, for ttvo years. He has served as faculty advisor to the Honor Council, and has compiled the M.U.S. ' ' Stu- dent Handbook. ' ' At the University of Ten- nessee he has recently been ivorking on his Ed.D. Mr. Strand served as Assistant Tennis Professional at the Memphis University Club for two years. Modest and soft-spoken, MR. WILLIAM T. SULLIVAN belies both his popularity and his considerable accomplishments. Although it is not a ividely known fact, Mr. Sullivan is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, and has served at several churches. He received his B.A. Degree from Southivestern College, graduating with honors in philosophy. He was at Union Theological Seminary for two years, and since coming to M.U.S. has been chair- man of the Department of Religion. Mr. Sullivan has also taught algebra, as well as liis famous ' ' Bible course. Everybody who knoivs Mr. Sullivan knows about his un- disguised yen for hunting. On his quests for game, Bivana Sullivan, or the Great White Hunter, has gone to such ivild and far-off lands as Texas, Wyoming, and Nevada. He has hunted such ferocious beasts as antelope, mountain lion, deer, and Mexican wild hog, not to men- tion quail, duck, wild turkey, and squirrel. 26 WM fitewiv ' i ■i: . ' MR. D. EUGENE THORN Jieeds no intro- duction to the literally hundreds of people with whom he has come into contact during his eight years of de- voted service to Memphis University School. In 1950 he received his B.S. Degree from Memphis State Univer- sity, and in 1953 his M.A. Degree from the same institution. His athletic experience includes two years college basketbcdl, four years professional baseball: he ivas head football coach his first tivo years here, serves as football line coach, and is MUS ' s Athletic Director. For several years he has taught geometry and algebra I and II, and has been Chairman of the Mathematics Department. His in- dispensable ivork in the Memphis University School Summer Day Camp shows his devotion to the school: for a period of six years he has ivorked to make the camp a success. Coach Thorn, as he is more popularly knoivn, has coached varsity basketball for the past several years, and has been instrumental in organizing the neiv club system at MUS. He is now Dean of Activities at MUS. Undoubtedly the most youthful-looking teacher at Memphis University School, MR. ANTHONY WARREN, better known as Tony, has been on our faculty since I960. He received his B.A. Degree in English from Tulane University in 1956 and has course ivork for his M.A. there. He majored in English and minored in Latin. In 1961, he made his debut on the Mem- phis stage in Much Ado About Nothing. Formerly, he had performed in the Neiv Orleans Opera House and at the Tulane University Theatre. Mr. Warren taught English at a Savan- nah, Georgia junior college. Since coming to MUS he has been the head of the Latin Department. In the sum- mer of 1961, he accompanied Mr. Morelock on a tour of Europe and Russia. At MUS he teaches Latin I and II, and ninth grade English. One interesting fact about him is that he was a pupil of Mr. Morelock ' s at Tu- lane, and is noiv his very close friend. 27 i M SIXTH FORM 28 . wi. w.iii; : ' ' ■tiii ' ' k ' ■63 VAN MONROE ARNOLD December 19, 1945, Seneca, Mississippi President of the Coin Club 6; Paper Staff 6; Coin Club 6; Dramatics Club 6; Band 5, 6. Most every class has their great musicians, some of them are even blest with good drum- mers . . . looks like we lost out this year. However, we are sure that Crunch and Mr. Hansard will be able to put the pep band on its feet this year. Van can usually be seen wandering through the halls with Mr. Kelly discussing the fact that we ' ll have to score more points than the opposing team to win our next game. Van must have a fairly good love life, at least he shows up with a date for every dance. WILSON PERRY BARTON April 29, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Honor Council 4, 5, President 6; Football 3, 4, 5, 6; Basketball 3, 4, 5, 6; Paper Staff 3, 5, Columns Editor 4; Annual Staff 5, Co-Business Manager 6; U Club 5, 6; Latin Club 3. Now that Fingers has finally thrown off the chains of love, he seems to be getting around quite a bit. Despite many assurances from all the students, we still can ' t convince Wilson that the Civil War is over. Maybe if Wilson gets accepted at Ole Miss, he ' ll be able to convince them to secede from the Union and declare themselves a republic. Wil- son seems to be keeping all the girls in Mem- phis heartbroken by his weekend excursions to Senatobia. Look ' s like Wilson ' s finally found a legitimate way to get out of class, by calling Honor Council meetings on the aver- age of three times a week. Wilson was last seen heading towards Senatobia going 90 mph. After a week of school, who wouldn ' t? 30 GEORGE RUSSELL BATES June 11, 1945, Providence, Rhode Island Russell is the only boy we ' ve ever seen that came to M.U.S. from Bartlett and had a Yankee accent. Russ can usually be heard in the locker room complaining about how he ' ll have to sit in the stands at the Bartlett games next year because his girl is a cheerleader. Sad story, Russ, that ' s too bad. While he ' s not complaining about that, he ' s praising Mr. Ed- wards ' ability as a math teacher. CRAIG BURGESS BENSON April 27, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee National Honor Society 5, 6; Social Committee 6; Footbcdl 3; Basketball 3; Paper Staff 5; Annual Staff 5, 6, Assistant Editor, Co-Business Manager 6; Latin Club 3; Fine Arts Club 6; Drama Club 6; NAPSL Certificate of Merit 3; Who ' s Who; Most Intellectual. If you ever see a guy driving a silver Con- tinental pulling a brute boat trailer, you ' re probably looking at Craig. Not only that, but if it ' s headed out of town you can be sure it ' s Craig, because after these paragraphs come out . . . Craig and his boat and Bette used to be familiar sights until Bette grew up. Now, Craig can only take his boat out. We still think he ' s got it pretty good. Any spare time he has, he spends at the airport waiting for Bette to come home. Craig was voted most intellectual this year, and the whole class is still trying to fig- ure out why. Craig thinks he ' s going to be another Will Faulkner because he got ' ' most intellectual, and maybe he will; he ' s pretty sneaky, being the guy who suggested adding most intellectual to the Who ' s Who. Craig was last seen headed out in the direction of the airport going a slight bit over the sound barrier. 31 RUSSELL EDWARD BLOODWORTH JR. July 1, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Student Council Sec. -Treasurer 4, 6; Class Presi- dent 5; President, Fine Arts Club 6; Basketball 3; Track 4; Paper, Make-up Editor and Headline Editor 5, Associate Editor 6; Annual 5, 6, Editor 6; National Honor Society 5, 6; Cheerleader 5; Latin Club 4; Drama Club 6; Fine Arts Club 6; Who ' s Who; Best All Around 6; Most Talented. Just because this rather rank individual is editor of the annual, he thought he would escape a paragraph. Not so! Rusty is the only boy in the senior class who can be classified as intercontinental. We classify him in this manner because he has had love affairs on two continents; however we suspect that now he ' s linnting himself to North America. His varying tastes in clothes have got the teachers dumbfounded; one day he shows up in a tee shirt, the next day in that hideous yellow thing, and the next in a suit complete with vest. One of these days someone is going to prove to Rusty, that no matter how small that car of his is, he can ' t pass in the middle. We are very proud of Rusty, because he was one of the first boys accepted to a college, not necessarily tlie one he wanted, but still a col- lege. JERE LAWRENCE CROOK III February 26, 1946, Memphis, Tennessee Editor, Paper 6; Football 3, Manager 4; Tennis 4; Latin Club 3; Lettermens Club 5, 6; Public Speak- ing 3; National Honor Society; Fine Arts Club 6; Drama Club 6. Jere, our paper editor, has really done something for the school this year; we ' re not sure what it is, but he has done something. We ' ve got to hand it to Jere for his defense of his C in History the 1st six weeks; we still don ' t know, but at least we don ' t ask him anymore. Jere is very conscientious about his newspaper editorship, we heard he was tak- ing lessons from R.B. on headlining; guess he figures it can not be done right unless he does it himself. There are a few people in Phys. Ed. who wish he would take volleyball lessons. Jere is the only boy at M.U.S. that has a car the color of a washing machine, but he claims the color doesn ' t affect its working. 32 FRANK ERNEST DOGGRELL January 28, 1946, Memphis, Tennessee Senior Class President 6; Vice-President Student Council 6; Football 3, 4, 5, 6, Captain 6; Track 5, 6, Captain 6; Annual Staff 5, 6; Paper Staff 6; JJ Club 5, 6; Engineer ' s Club 6; Football Spirit Trophy. We like to forget most of our classmates when we graduate. We ' re sick of ' em. Bubba, though, desei-ves to be remembered. Many a night when the boys needed refuge from a cruel world, they ' d pick on ol ' Dog. Never once has he received the praise that he should for virtuosity on the guitar or sitting in the Guild theater under age with his baby-face. So let us recognize him here, and, Every- body get — ! DOUGLAS WILLIAM FERRIS, JR. February 1, 1944, New Orleans, Louisiana Dramatic Club 6; Library Staff 5. Maybe Doug ' s pink complexion and the re- ducing machine hands are due to embarrass- ment from being turned down five times. Some people say it ' s due to his valor in his Valiant, the only car in the world powered by a Singer sewing machine engine, that has withstood fifteen wrecks, fifteen of which he doesn ' t claim. Some people think that Ferris ' running of the cross country is pretty remark- able, but not half as remarkable as the run- ning he does on weekends. Lately Doug did his part to bring glory to the school in win- ning the American Corn Chips Institute ' s award for consuming the most Fritos in one 24 hour period. We don ' t understand why Doug eats so many corn chips. RICHARD GARY FORD June 13, 1944, Montgomery, Alabama Paper Staff 4, 5, 6; Annual Staff 6. Gary says he really gets a bang out of M.U.S. This is obvious because he is study- ing hard (contrary to last year). Gary is veiy clever; for instance, who else would think of sealing a list of the ' 62 senior class ' s signa- tures in a M.U.S. wall to be presei ved for posterity? We ' re glad Ger is not driving his old green Chevy with the Corvette wheel to school this year because dodging it before school was no way to start the day. We also attribute much of the fire-works around school last year to Gary, such as the mice one might find in his locker and the hysterical little pops as the teacher moves his chair to sit down. As you notice, Gary was a bad boy last year and he found out it doesn ' t pay. ROBERT WALLACE GRAHAM February 7, 1945, Uniontown, Pennsylvania Basketball Statistician 5, 6; Annual Staff 5, 6, Literature Editor 6; Paper Staff 5, 6, News Man- ager 6; Science Club 3; Latin Club 3; National Honor Society 5, 6; Semi-Finalist, National Merit Scholarship Program 6; M.U.S. Science Award 5. This meek M.U.S. senior has had a little excitement with the Feds all over a pinch of dirt. It seems that Mr. K. sent him some Russian soil, so he could test it for perhaps the drama of life on Mars or some such ex- periment. It ' s all over our heads, and appar- antly over the Government ' s, too, since the} ran a check on him and were surprised to find nothing was amiss in Graham ' s statement. Robo also has contributed a complete aquatic display to the M.U.S. biology department. He won the Charles Miller Owen science award, and we wouldn ' t be sui prised to find him living in a test tube. Robert can ' t be too meek, or he couldn ' t be able to flip someone with his little finger, even if he is a black belt in the judo field. He also seems to have the power to be hypnotized. We see Robert as the top U.S. scientist — -if so, we ' re on a de- cline for sure. 34 HENRY WALKER GRENLEY September 24, 1944, Memphis, Tennessee Honor Council 6; Football 5, 6, Captain 6; Track 5, 6, Captain 6; Paper Staff 5, 6; Annual Staff 5; U Club 5, 6; Creative Writing Club 6. Oh, he ' s so cute. This is all we hear the girls say about the galloping halfback of M.U.S. He replies, Sure. We agree. Gren- ley, Bart ' s sidekick, must get more excite- ment than those wild times at the P.I. he ' s always talking about, and tlie main street girls because Henry ' s always got some kind of secret cooked up with Barton. Grenley is always making remarks about his fair, inno- cent East High days. Say you miss the girls, Henry? WILLIAM WATSON HARRIS October 15, 1945, Lexington, Kentucky Annual Staff 5, 6, Art Editor 6; Paper Staff 5, 6; Engineer ' s Club 6. Bill is one of the few boys in the senior class who goes to art school; as far as we know he ' s the only one, but one of the few takes up more space, so for all practical pur- poses Bill will remain one of the few. We ' re not sure why he went to art school but we have a sneaking suspicion that, when he found out there were nineteen girls in the class and he would be the only boy, he sud- denly found himself with a desire for the finer things of life. Got a good thing go- ing there. Bill. Too bad his budding career is intermpted now by his broken hand. He doesn ' t deserve to be with all those girls if he can ' t keep from bumping into walls. ERNEST DONALD HEEHS September 6, 1945, Waynesboro, Pennsylvania Public Speaking and Debating Club 6. Don doesn ' t seem to run with the socialites of M.U.S., (this alone is the biggest compli- ment given to anyone in this annual), but we know he ' s around because we see him at school each day. For some reason Coach Thorn still can ' t call him by his right name. Don ' s reply is, It really wouldn ' t do any good to tell him; I know who he ' s talking to. Don likes nature, for we have often seen him wandering on the cross country during lunch. Don used to be a big track star at Kingsbury, but there is no one here to impress; he too misses the feminine touch that M.U.S. is lack- ing, as do many of us. EDWIN CONANT HUSSEY July 3, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Social Committee 3; Basketball 3; Tennis 4: Track 4, 5, 6; Annual Staff 5, 6, Photography Editor 6; Paper Staff 5, 6, Photography Editor 6; Photog- raphy Club 6; U Club 5, 6; Latin Club 3. Edwin is the photographer at large for this year ' s paper and annual. He can always be found sneaking around school in sun glasses to take pictures of other people besides Blood- worth or Ferris; Good Luck. Edwin has a hotel down in Florida where he goes every spring vacation and takes a few boys (Ed, old buddy!). He can always be found arguing with Turner about why Ole Miss should be ranked higher than Arkansas. Edwin is plan- ning to go to college at Ole Miss. TO STUDY??? JOHN MARSHALL HUTCHISON September 11, 1943, Memphis, Tennessee Track 3, 4, 5; Cross Country 3; Football 4, 5, 6; Paper Staff 5; Dramatics Club 6. Hutch surprisingly enough didn ' t get most intellectual, although he prohahly reads more than any other senior. Of course, what kind of kno wledge can one draw from Flash Gordon space fiction, but Marshall says, Well, they ' re good. Marshall does try to fake people off by puffing on a pipe — bet- ter watch the coaches. We say this because Marshall is a rip-rorin ' , snarling football player, and also a sure-foot in track. Mar- shall ' s quite a lover, too, but nobody knows it; we ' d tell you some of his escapades, but we ' re included in the nobody. Marshall seems to be doing all right in the grades; of course, he ' s taking biology (a tenth grade course) in his senior year. Tough. ROBERT ORIN CARLOSS JOHNSON March 17, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee f Club 6; Latin Club 3; Football 3, 4, 6; Bas- ketball 3; Paper Staff 6. Bob returned to M.U.S. this year after a year at East; we guess because he was rather disillusioned with public school life, girls not being able to get on their football team and all that jazz. It has been rumored that Bob, although very adept at the sport, is on the football team because of his striking resem- blance to a grizzly bear. You can always tell when Bob gets to school in the morning with his lake pipes open and the classic rebel flag on the antenna. Bob can usually be seen in study hall reading a copy of Hot Rod con- cealed behind his history book. t mmt l l 4 MICHAEL ERROL KELLY August 27, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Basketball 3, 4, 5, 6; Red Cross 4, 5; Social Com- mittee 4. 5: Creative JVriting Club 6; Fine Arts Club 6; Annual Staff 5, 6; Paper Staff 5. Most every class has its great white hunter, but I guess this year we lose out. If he under- stands the beast he ' s after anything like he understands Gretchen, he ' ll come back with his limit every time. Mike pictures himself as a lady killer; they can all drop dead as far as he ' s concerned. Mike was last seen at the Jr.-Sr. dance in a bow tie and his basket- ball uniform. ROSS WHITTIER LIVERMORE November 18, 1945, Joplin, Missouri Paper Staff 6; Latin Club 3; Track 6. Now we come to one of the real ping-pong addicts of the Senior Class. If he, Malone, Arnold, and Wood play one more game of roundtable, the floor around the table is go- ing to fall in. Looks like the Senior Commons Room will never be a nice cjuiet place to study as long as Ross is around to organize a good game of ping-pong. To hear it, you ' d think they were a bunch of cave men trying to kill a mastadon. Ross ' s love life seems to have been planned by fate, since Sarah is one of his closest neighbors. Maybe something will come of this rather pleasant arrange- ment. Ross was last seen going over to Sarah ' s to borrow a cup of sugar ! ? 38 JAMES HENRY MALONE October 23, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Basketball 3; Baseball 3; Football 3; Annual Staff 6; Latin Club 3. Jim is our candid reporter this year; he went out and conversed with the boys that we knew nothing about and brought us back some material on them for these priceless gems called Senior Paragraphs. As you can gather from reading some of them, we could gleen practically nothing from his copious notes, but he ' s as good a guy as any to blame it on. Since the first of the year Jim seems to have been deathly afraid of Mr. Morelock; we don ' t know why; maybe it ' s because he dropped French after the first day. Guess you would be sort of afraid of a guy that could shake you up that much in one day! RICHARD CHARLTON MOORE April 17, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Student Council 3, 5, 6, President 6; Football 3, 4, 5, 6, Co-Captain 6: Basketball 3, 4, 5. 6; Track 4, 5, 6; Annual Staff 5. 6, Sports Editor 5, 6: Paper Staff 6: National Honor Society 5, 6: Hon- orable Mention, All-County Basketball 3, 1st Team 5 ; Who ' s Who ; Most A thletic. Major Moore is our only Ail-American boy this year. One of these days we ' re expecting him to show up in track shorts, tennis shoes, carrying a basketball, wearing a football hel- met, and waving a student council flag. It ' s too bad that Rick had to ruin his All-County football chances by sticking his leg where it didn ' t belong during one of our first games. but there ' s still basketball and track tliis year. Rick seems to have gained the reputation of big brother to the cheerleaders. He was last seen trying to get the eighth grade to keep their seats until he dismissed them in chapel. 39 GEORGE BUFORD NORMAN, JR. JuIy 26, 1945, Columhiis. Mississippi Basketball 3, 4, 5: Basehall 3; Annual Staff 5, 6, Typing Editor 6: Paper Staff 6: National Honor Society 5, 6, President 6; Red Cross 3, 4, 5, 6, Chairman 6; Social Committee 6; Dramatic Club 6: Honorable Mention, Latin Tournament 3; 7th Place. Chemistry Tournament 5; Merit Scholar- ship Semi-Finalist 6; Most Intelligent 6. Beeeeeeeebo is M.U.S. ' s pride and joy when it comes to intelligence. When asked if he stud ied for a certain test the answer is usually Well, I studied a little during break- fast this morning. How did he make an A ? Who knows? Maybe he just happens to open the ])ook to the page the test will come from. However, we ' ve noticed that B ' s grades have dropped from high ' A ' s to low A ' s since he gave up TV and took up girls. We knew one day he would discover the opposite sex, and it looks like it ' s taken him by storm. We hear tell that Beeb is going to West Point, Can you imagine Beeeeeeeebo in a uniform? Beeb was last seen explaining the senior math assignment to the class after Mr. Edwards had gotten tliem good and confused. 40 NASSEEM FRED SALIBA July 29, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Paper Staff 4, 5; Public Speaking and Debating Club 6; Boy Scouts: Quarter Master, Scribe, As- sistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader; Air Explor- ers: Senior Crew Leader; Eagle Scout; God and Country Award. Areeba, or the Wandering Nomad, is be- ginning to become a legend in his own time. He was probably the first Boy Scout in the world, and the way things are going he ' ll probably be the last if they don ' t run out of awards to give him. It ' s getting now so he tells stories of camping trips like a World War I hero recounting his victories in the field. One of these days someone ' s going to write a poem in Fred ' s honor called The An- cient Boy Scout. Quickdraw seems to have given up his hip-holster slide rule for a more conservative back pocket model. Fred really lucked up this year when his brother Mike went off to college: he inherited the Blue Bomb for his very own. LOWELL WEBSTER TAYLOR February 1, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Football 3, 4, 5, 6; Track 4, 5; f Club 4, 5, 6, President 6. Spike has the most appropriate name in the senior class, namely because he ' s as strong as a railroad spike. Spike also seems quite a deer hunter: he shoots them as well as trying to run them down. Spike has totaled (we seem to have lost count) — cars — he loves school but says it ' s tiresome driving thirty miles to school each day, so sometimes he doesn ' t come; after all, who ' s going to make a long distance call to check on him? Spike likes his Arkansas home, but strong desires take him into Mississippi territory as well. But of course. Spike doesn ' t limit himself; he gives all the girls a chance. This football and track star has seemed to settle down from last year ' s conversations with Mr. Blair etc., or is it just a year ' s more practice in being crafty? GRADY DOUGLAS TRAINOR October 10, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Football 3, 4, 5, 6; Track 3, 5; Basketball Man- ager 3; Paper Staff 5; Fire Marshal 3; i ' Club 5, 6; Library Committee 3, 5; Engineer ' s Club 6. Well, now for the poor boy. Some of us wonder if his father is really an Arkansas plantation owner, and not a car dealer. If his fire-engine red Corvette with wire wheels doesn ' t impress you, then perhaps his green T-Bird, his silver Continental, or — what ' s the use in wasting space? Doug doesn ' t en- counter Spike ' s problem; they just have a week-day apartment in the Continental Apart- ments. Well, they do have two children who go to school in Memphis. The Arkansas boys always seem to have girl problems, and Ole Doug is no exception. Grady, too, says school often tires him. When he ' s at his Arkansas home (or should we say mansion), he hunts his many acres of lush farm lands killing deer, doves, rabbits, and squirrels, not to men- tion the other diings he ' s killed and not told us about. We think of Doug as going to Jett, if she ' ll have him. 41 WILLIAM BART TURNER LEE RUSSEL WIENER November 5, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Student. Council 3; Basketball 3; Track 5, 6; Foot- ball Manager 3; Paper Staff 6; Annual Staff 6; Dramatics Club 6. All the Arkansas boys seem to thrive at M.U.S., and Bart is still a Marionite at heart. He can ' t keep away from West Memphis; wonder what ' s so attractive across the bridge? Bait, too, is quite a killer; for instance, after not killing a squirrel on a hunt, he was told a friend killed L5 the next day at the same spot. Bart ' s Wahiut Grove home in Memphis has only a summer house and swimming pool in the back yard. We like Bart buddy. He has great hope for M.U.S. ' s athletic squads, but no faith. He bets the members of the team that they will lose, just to boost their ego — aware, of course, that it ' s profitable too. But he doesn ' t always pick winners — his Razor- backs have lost a few times (but not many). The only other athletic accomplishment of Bart ' s, besides track, is the familiar slam of ping-pong balls and the call of 8-ball, 4 rails in the end pocket. We didn ' t think it could be done. June 4, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Social Committee 3, 4, 5, Chairman 6; Football 3; Basketball 3, 4, 6; Tennis 3, 4, 5; f Club 5, 6; Annual Staff 5, 6; Business Manager 6; Paper Staff 3, 5, 6; Typing Editor 6. Celebrity is the boy that was voted to be the most likely to succeed, at what we ' re not sure. Lee also ran away with the Best Dressed title. You can easily tell that Lee is the best dressed boy in the class by his famous hat. Many people are still wondering what possessed a level-headed boy like Lee to buy such a thing, but they say that the best dressed people don ' t conform to style, but set it. We ' ve yet to see another boy in the school show up with a hobo hat, but it ' s only been a year so far. Lee was also given the title of chairman of the social committee because of his many musical connections; the school also figured that Lee ' s musical tastes in bands could very well be satisfied with its financial tastes. Lee is also business manager of the annual and a pretty good one as far as busi- ness managers go. Guess by now you think he runs the school; really he doesn ' t run all of it, just the part that has to do with money; that ' s why he got Most Likely to Succeed. CARLOS GLAZIER WILSON August 28, 1944, Memphis, Tennessee President Radio Club 6. Carlos is new at M.U.S. this year and con- sequently we ' re a little short on material for this paragraph. Some people mispronounce his name as Carless, but this is not true because Carlos does have a car, a pretty tan Rambler station wagon. We do know, however, that he ' s a ham radio addict. One can easily recognize his house on Greenfield, because it ' s the one with the antenna, the antenna, or, to put it more clearly, it ' s the antenna with the house. Yes, old Carlos has quite an antenna there and there are some unfortunate pilots who wish he would put some warning lights on the dad-blamed thing. Carlos is also a pro- ficient horseman. So what? PHILIP BERKS WOOD May 1, 1945, New York, New York Football 4, 5, 6; Track 5, 6; Paper Staff 5; An- nual Staff 5; Engineer ' s Club 6; U Club 6; Na- tional Honor Society 6. We come at last to the old pro. Phil has given up listening in class in favor of booing and making side comments on the material; it ' s just too easy for Phil. We guess that this is the only way that Phil can endure four periods with Mr. Edwards. Besides being a great wit in class, Phil can also teach you how to play pool if you ' re interested in that sort of thing (and some of the seniors are, but they haven ' t been clamoring for lessons). Phil also makes up the backbone of the M.U.S. line in football. He gets in conversations with his opponent and just when the guy gets in- terested, the ball is snapped and Phil clobbers him. BENJAMAN HUMPHREYS WOODSON July 21, 1944, Memphis, Tennessee Honor Council 5, 6, Vice-President 6; Basketball 3, 4, 5; Annual Staff 5, 6, Co-Editor of Photog- raphy 6; Latin Club 3; Red Cross 5. Every senior class has one man who stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to affairs of the heart, and we ' re glad to say that for once we don ' t lose out. We ' ve got Ben Snowking or Snowman Woodson, M.U.S. ' s answer to George Hamilton IV. Ben ' s little black book is just chock full of names of the most desirable girls in Memphis and there are hundreds of girls still hoping that some day their name will be inscribed on one of the cherished leaves. One of these days, though, Ben ' s heart is going to catch up with him; you really can ' t expect to stay in the pink with six dates eveiy weekend. Ben is also renowned for his knowledge of the struc- ture of the government of the U.S. Whenever Mr. Peters has a problem, he consults Ben. Ben was last seen heading over to — ' s in his M.G.

HONOR Council The tradition of which M.U.S. is the most proud is its fine honor system. This insures a wholesome, honest atmosphere for the school, and furnishes each student with the best possible place in which he may learn. The honor system is upheld by a popularly elected Honor Council, with representatives from grades eight through twelve, and headed by a president elected by the student body each year. The council deals with the three violations of the honor code, lying, cheating, and stealing. This year ' s president, Wilson Barton, has led the council through another effective year. Stu- dents and visitors never cease to marvel at the pre- vailing atmosphere of honor which prevails at M.U.S. The fact that the students and council make this system effective is a fine tribute to the school. Left to Right, Standing: John Adams, John Pettey. Seated: Ray Brakebill, Thurston Moore, Rusty Bloodworth, Ray Larson. The Student Council has been very active this year. During football season it arranged for the people to sell concessions and was in charge of announcing the home games. Inside the school, the Council began work on a point system which is still being worked on. This point system includes a maximum and a minimum, which induces students to take an active part in the school. The Student Council proceeded to curb all smok- ing on the school campus, even though there had not been a great deal of it in the past. This year the council intends to see that it is completely ceased. For the first time in the school ' s history, the Student Council began to Take an active part in the Memphis Association of Student Councils. The M.A.S.C. ' s big project this year was to try to get several foreign exchange students to come to Mem- phis. M.U.S. was very interested and wanted to get one if at all possible. For exchange students, a chapter of the American Field Service was started here in Memphis, and M.U.S. ' s Student Council Advisor, Mr. Robert Smith, was elected as School Representative for all the schools. At a final glance, it appeared very possible for M.U.S. to have its first foreign exchange student.

The world today, more than ever before, needs young men and women with strength of purpose and nobility of heart to lead in the paths of peace and progress. These young people will grow into adults who express courage, honor, truth, love, justice, in- telligence, nobility, and purity. It is young people of this sort who are members of the National Honor Society, and membership in this society is one of the highest honors a student in high school can receive. To be a member of the National Honor Society one must exercise excellence in eveiy field of endeavor. The four main areas are represented on the emblem of the society, against a keystone: Scholarship, Char- acter, Leadership, and Service. It is hoped by the faculty committee that chooses the members that they will use these four ideals as their keystone in life. The flaming torch on the emblem is to burn through- out the lives of the members to illuminate these ideals. To obtain membership in the society one must maintain an 85 scholastic average and be a Junior or Senior exhibiting also character, leadership, and sei vice.

Creative Writing Club The purpose of the Memphis University School Creative Writing Club is a threefold one: to bring together students interested in original composition, for the purpose of a mutual discussion of the various techniques and problems of the craft of writing; to provide a forum for friendly criticism, by his fellow club-members, of a student writer ' s work; and to pro- vide for the M.U.S. student body a magazine publi- cation, the MUSe, which will furnish pleasurable reading, stimulate further hiterest in creative writ- ing, give the club members practical experience in the make-up and typography of magazines, and provide the authors with the pleasure of seeing their work in print. All types of writing — essay (formal or informal), short-story, research article, poetry — are produced, and a free and frank discussion of each work is ex- pected of the group. Bloodworth, President Mr. Warren, Advisor dm 95 Drama tics The Dramatics Club, another of the new clubs instituted this year, is the lar- gest one in the school. Probably the reason for its large membership is the fine director of the club, Mr. David Morelock, who has a fine reputation in theatrical circles around town. Mr. Morelock spent the first couple of months in teaching the members the va- rious parts of the stage and the things that all beginning actors must know. Then came small skits, practice readings, and finally, auditions for the plays the school put on this year. The high school did My Three Angels, by the Spewacks this spring, and the Junior High also did a play later on in the spring. Interest has increased as the school year has passed, and the club is still growing. i r- mm Fine Arts Club Another club innovated this year was the Fine Arts Club, under the direction of Mr. Charles Mosby, who has his Masters in music and has traveled widely on the Continent. Meeting once a week, lectures were given by the students on some aspect of art, whether in music, painting, architecture, or literature. The students would decide the next week ' s subject, and the lecturer would volunteer. By mid-semester, students from various other clubs would occasionally drop in for the always lively or interesting sub- jects discussed. Some of this year ' s lectures included Horns, The Sistine Chapel, A Genius at Work, The Sound Track from Phaedra, Impressionism, Jazz, and Early Romantic Painters.

Photography Club This year the members of the Photography Club have learned to take pictures, develop and print them, and have also learned to use complex cameras. Instead of taking pictures with regular speed film and developing with regular chemicals, we use a very fast film and develop it with special chemicals which speed up the action of the film. By using this film and these chemicals, we have learned to take pictures under any circumstances and have them come out well. Every Monday during Activity Period the club discusses taking pictures or other phases of photography. Occasionally articles on photography in various magazines are discussed. On either Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of each week the club meets in a schoolroom to develop pictures or to print them. Left to Right: Towney, G. Malone, R. Sneed, Cannon, W.

' ' v Library Committee The. library is a resource center of instructional materials for the entire educational pro- gram and an agency which has a function in helping pupils learn to use library mate- rials and facilities effectively. The library provides materials for reference use, for use in connection with class work, and for personal enjoyment and satisfaction without relation to assignments. It provides a wide variety of books, pamphlets, and periodicals adapted to the reading interests and needs of school pupils and professional publications for use by staff members. Besides reading materials, the school has available, organized in the library, audio-visual data for use in the educational program. These extensive library resources are administered by a trained professional librarian with the help of student assistants. Major duties of the library staff include: (1) participating with teachers and admin- istrators in planning and conducting the educational program; (2) guiding and stimu- lating pupils and teachers in the selection and use of the library materials; and (3) pro- viding efficient and cooperative administration of the library facilities and materials.

The group has already made considerable progress, and its members are becoming real ex- perts about radios and other electronic instru- ments. Some of the members are experienced, like the President, Carlos Wilson, whose house is well known for the huge antenna on his roof, while others are just beginners. However, before the year is over, all should be able to obtain an amateur operator ' s license, the goal of the club. The club has undertaken many projects this year, from building crystal radios to making a full-sized tube radio receiver. The experience gained by the members of tliis club will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives, as electronics is a field which is taking on ever-in- creasing importance in the modern world in which we live.

I March of dimes This was the first time in several years that Mem- phis University School had participated in the March of Dimes Teenage Action Program. The March of Dimes is working now on combating arthritis and birth defects, and each year the teenagers all over the country volunteer to collect money for the Na- tional Foundation. M.U.S., with one other school, was assigned to collect at the Park-Belk shopping center, and, in spite of inclement weather, the whole undertaking was a huge success. Sixty-two boys came out to help (only about one half are shown in the picture), and they raised $75, which was $25 over our goal. The 62 volunteers, 25% of the student body, placed us third in the city and county in percentage of student body working.

Debating Club Saliba, President; Klyce, Vice-President; Mr. Mills, Ad- viser. It is the purpose of the Debating Club to encourage interest and participation in debating, provide mem- bers with an opportunity to learn and practice debat- ing, furnish members with a wide scope of knowledge on common issues, and teach parliamentary proce- dure. At least one debate is held every month. Every member participates in the actual debating at one time or another. The debates are formal and are run by the rules set up by the National Debating Society. The debating topics chosen by the National De- bating Council are : 1) Resolve: The United States should promote a common market for the Western Hem- isphere. 2) Resolve: The United States should adopt a pol- icy of reciprocal trade with non-com- mercial countries. 3) Resolve: That Congress should abolish protec- tive tariffs. 103 Left to Right, Standing: King, Lake.

Coin Club The Coin Club was organized at M.U.S. as a special club petitioned by a group of collectors, and the club has a membership of 11. Its officers are: President, Van Arnold; Vice-President, Nugie Treadwell; Secretary, Clay Yeager. The function of the club is to help its members become better acquainted with the art of collecting coins. Each week different types of coins are brought to the club and are inspected so that everyone is familiar with them. The club also helps new people who are interested in coin collecting get started, and shows them pointers in getting a good collection. Each week the club puts out a display in the window of the library. These dis- plays range from one special set of a coin to coins of the world, and are put out to help the student body be more familiar with, and know the value of, coins. 104 Left to Right, Top Row: Larson, Jetton, Wood, Ledbetter, Harris, Ross.

ENGINEERS Club The Engineer ' s Club is an organization composed of stu- dents of Memphis University School who have devoted tlieir spare time to increasing their technical knowledge by touring the various industrial complexes of the Memphis area. Its membership includes interested scholars from every grade level whose intention is to acquire a first-hand knowl- edge of the activities and scope of the engineering field. The pedagogist has gone into the basic rudiments of certain phases of engineering so that its constituents will have a bet- ter insight as to what is actually involved in the study of engineering. The club convenes on Monday afternoon of every week and either proceeds to an industrial establishment or dis- cusses the preceding week ' s excursion.

Cafeteria Staff All of us, here at Memphis University School owe a great deal to our cooks, dietitian, and custodians. Without these dedicated people the school could scarcely go on. And, not only are these hard workers, but they frequently go out of their way to help students, and do it willingly. Mrs. Soldan, Mattie, and Julia never fail to have a wholesome lunch prepared for us, and they do a fine job of cooking for a large group on a limited budget. And they put up with a lot more than they are required to when they constantly let people come back to the kitchen to get ice cream, water, etc. Our four custodians, Willie, Robert, Bryant, and Roosevelt, also double as bus drivers and kitchen workers. They are all friendly toward the students, and go out of their way to help them. They are always willing to unlock doors, clean up things, or find something whenever they are asked. Some of us number these hard workers as some of our best friends at school. !06 m sa OFFICE STAFF This year, instead of having a student to woik in the office one day, all students taking turns, sev- eral students now work one period every day.

It has often been said that when a person partici- pates and takes part in the organization of something his appreciation will be greater. This was the plan that the Social Committee worked under this year. For every type of social function under the super- vision of the committee, the boys on the committee and other students did all the work without the aid of very willing parents and patrons of M.U.S. This plan was carried successfully at this year ' s Mid-Winter dance. The orchestra was chosen by the committee and all decorations were put up by them and other M.U.S. students. The highlight of this af- fair was the crowning of our traditional Queen of Hearts and also the unexpected appearance of our cheerleaders. This year ' s Social Committee has been able, by the very large attendance at the various functions, to have a 2:ood financial status, with a little extra for next vear.

Nominations came from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades and the winner was an- nounced at the annual mid-winter dance. Not only was the Queen a success, but the fem- inine cheering of Michaela Kelly, Barterina Turner, Vanny Arnold, and Henrietta Grenly added greatly to the party as a whole. Miss Gibson, Miss Allen, Miss Grisham, Miss Place all attend Miss Hutchinson ' s School; Miss Taylor attends Lausanne, and Miss Fisher goes to White Station.

This year in addition to the twice daily prac- tices at school, the scjuad was given the added advantage of a week long football camp at Horseshoe Lake. It was hoped that with expert coaching and intensive training the Owls could offset the disad- vantage of being a fairly young, light- weight team. Defensively the 170 lb. average weight in the line was a handicap; and as the sea- son progressed and the team was bedeviled by injuries, inexperience also became a major weakness. The average weight in the backfield was 150 pounds per man, but these boys were tough and lightning fast. Their speed combined with an accurate passing attack and an unusually fast line made the offensive plays look promising. The perennial opener against Millington took place on September 7th. The Trojans were a pre-season favorite to capture the County Championship, and they proved to be too much for MUS. The Millington offense drove through the Owls and scored in the second period. Shortly after this. Rick Moore caught a pass to start an Owl offensive. Moore suffered a knee injury on this play which sidelined him for the rest of the season. Time ran out on the first half as MUS was pushing deeper into Trojan territory. The second half saw Millington increase their lead to 14-0. During the last period the team started a determined drive with Spike Taylor run- ning and Frank Tenent passing. The Owls scored in the last seconds of the game when Tenent completed a pass to Taylor in the end zone. The offense moved well against the larger team, but poor tackling led to Millingto n ' s scores. A bright spot of the game was the punting of Tenent and Moore who together combined for a 41 yard average. MUS enjoyed its first win over Ger- mantown 48-0 after an 18-6 defeat by Treadwell. The game against the Red Dev- ils of Germantown was highlighted by Tay- Left to riiju: Bnltom Row: Ferguson. Wood. Lawson. Taylor, Grenley, Brakebill, Gillespie. Piper. Second Row: McKee. Nichols.

A lineman ' s dream came true that night when Jim Lawson recovered a fumble in the end zone for a T. D. The Owls made it two- wins in a row the following week by downing Collierville 18-0. MUS outplayed Collierville in ev- ery department. The first time the Owls had the ball they marched the length of the field and Spike Taylor bulled his way over for the score. The scarlet and l)lue line re- peatedly opened holes in the Collierville defense, and successfully managed to thwart the Dragons ' offensive action. The Owls made their second march in the first half with Taylor, Piper, and Tim Tread- well running behind this fine blocking. Taylor carried for the touchdown, and at the half the score was 12-0. Trow Gillespie guided the Owls down to the 12 yard line, and then rolled out, kept the ball, and charged across the goal line for the final six points of the night. Frank Tenent did another outstanding job of punting, and thereby helped the Owls keep Collierville deep in its own territory throughout the game. This victory was not without its price — Jim Treadwell tore a ligament in his knee and was out for the rest of the 118 season. The Owls had a disastrous game against Oakhaven, losing 18-6. Taylor made the only score. The great mishap of this game was the blow MUS suffered physically. Trow Gillespie was sidelined with a knee injury, and Frank Tenent broke his ankle in the second quarter. Tommy Thompson came in as quarterback and played a great game. MUS revenged the loss of tlie preced- ing week by downing Harding Academy 34-6. Spike Taylor was credited with three of the Owl touchdowns and George Piper stiiick pay dirt for six points; Tommy Thompson scored his first T.D. in the fourth quarter. Henry Grenley and Piper went over for the extra points. The high point of the ' 62 season was the game against Bartlett on the Panthers ' home field. The entire Owl team played great football. Everything seemed to click, and there were practically no mistakes. Coach Rudolph introduced a little razzle- dazzle by letting Taylor throw a halfback pass, and this took the boys from Bartlett by surprise. Taylor threw to Jim Long for the first touchdown, and then ran for the extra point. The pattern was reversed in the second half when he ran for the touch- down and passed to Long for the extra point. George Piper played his most out- standing game of the year; he led his team in nishing by gaining over 100 yards. The crowds cheered as they watched Henry Grenley gain 78 yards on four reverses from his wingback position. Guards Philip Wood and Ray Brakebill, along with cen- ter, Frank Doggrell, did a terrific job of opening holes in the Panther defense for these boys to charge through. The final score was 14-0, and it was a jubilant team and coaching staff that boarded the bus for MUS that night.

The Tigers were fast, and had the advantage of con- siderably outweighing the Owls. The single-wing attack of Whitehaven ploughed through the MUS defense. The Owls gave ground grudgingly but consistently — thus enabling the Tigers to run up an impres- sive score. The Scarlet and Blue had only two real offensives. The first was cul- minated ]jy a touchdown pass from Tay- lor to Long. The only other threat was when Gillespie sneaked the ball across from the one. The season ended on a low note as White Station defeated MUS 27-0. The Owls seemed devoid of spirit, and let the fired up Spartans roll over them for tre- mendous rushing gains. There was one bright spot in the second half as Jim Long made some nice receptions and good runs, but to no avail. For MUS the 1962 record book was closed. MUS had its largest selection of post- season honorary teams. Spike Taylor was picked for second team All-County, while Juniors Ray Brakebill, Jim Long, George Piper, Frank Tenent, and Richard Gat- ling, plus Seniors Rick Moore and Philip Wood were named on tlie Honorable Men- tion All-County Team. The students felt, according to a gallup poll, that the team was seriously handi- capped ])y injuries. Many of the students thought we would have had a better sea- son if so many lettermen had not been in- jured. All told, however, it was felt that the team did an exceptionally fine job considering its shortage of manpower and the lack of size. The boys and coaches did a fine job and deserve to be highly com- mended. The cheering and attendance were felt to be the best there ever has been. The general idea was that more students and parents came and cheered, and that their presence made a considerable addition to the team ' s play.

I JUNIOR HIGH Discontinuing the eighth grade team this year, the Junior High football team was com- posed of eighth and ninth graders. Starting practice during the last week of August, the team showed lack of experience and weight. Scarcely being ready for their first game, the baby Owls journeyed to Germantown to suf- fer their first defeat, being beaten 13 to 6. Starting out slowly in the first half, the team played poor defensive ball, but finally crossed the final stripe early in the fourth quarter. The boys showed lack of condition- ing, but this was corrected by Coach Peters the next day. At. this point, Wunderlich was the only player who showed great ability. In the next contest Millington played a greatly improved team, and finally overpow- ered MUS to win 21-7. The baby Owls played a good defensive game but lacked depth in their offense. The highlights were co-captain Caradine ' s hard running and co-captain Pet- ree ' s interior line-play. Harris, an eighth grader, substituted frequently and played an excellent defensive game. In the following game the Junior High team gained their first victory at the expense 125 of Harding Academy, winning 54-0. The stars were Hugh Sprunt, Wunderlich, Hill, and Caradine, with their powerful off-tackles plus the excellent downfield blocking of Drinkard. Several eighth graders saw action; among them were Cannon, Wilson, Tomford, and Taylor. The next game was with Colliei ' ville. The baby Owls played an exceptionally fine game with Hill ' s spectacular blocking and William ' s shoestring catches. Smith and Jemison saw action in this game and were largely respon- sible for our offensive attack. The team came out ahead when early in the third quarter Wunderlich added a touchdown and an extra point to make the score 13-7, in favor of MUS. The game from then on was a defen- sive battle, neither team being able to push across the thirty yard line of its opponent. The final score was MUS 13, Collierville 7. Hillcrest then journeyed to the Hull-Dobbs Athletic Field, and with a well-run straight T, defeated the baby Owls 20-0. The team, being outclassed and out-weighed, put up a never say die fight. Although the game was a futile attempt, McRae ' s excellent job at quarterback could not be overlooked. In this game Bain and Olingy came off the bench to substitute for injured players and did a very fine job. Our passing attack against Hill- crest was veiy successful until their defenses stiffened, and the margin of error in the game was their over-powering . offense. Hugh Sprunt ' s long end sweeps gained many yards but their decisively bigger line stopped all invaders of their territory. Our defense gave up tougli yardage, but their superior back- field interference proved all too much for us on the end runs. The Junior High ' s finest game of the sea- son was played on our home field against the Oakhaven 11. The team pulled the game out of the fire in a close one, with Allissan- dratos, Petree, and Roberts delivering pun- ishing tackles, Wunderlich ' s reverses and Stratton ' s end zone catch. It looked as though the Oakhaven team would win the game until the beginning of the third quarter when the baby Owls sparked and the offense l egan clicking. Our dives worked exceptionally well, gaining three or four yards eveiy time. Pre- venting Oakhaven from gaining an important first down in the middle of the first quarter proved to be the decisive play of the game. Wunderlich scored twice in the last half and the team went on to win 21-7. This game proved why Wunderlich was the leading scor- er in the Shelby County Junior High Foot- ball League. All the boys played an excellent game and as Coach Peters said after the game, I have never been so proud of a team that I have coached as I was in the second half of today ' s game. In the last outing the Junior High team was confronted by bad luck and the breaks of the game. The final score, Bartlett 7, MUS 6. In the waning minutes of the game, a Bartlett boy scooted down the sidelines for a fifty yard touchdown, and squeaked over from two yards out for the extra point. MUS came back to score in the last minute, but was unable to score the extra point. A thrilling game, but all too fateful for the baby Owls. The high- lights were Caradine ' s bulling his way through the line; the splendid line play of Roberts, Drinkard, Petree, and Alissandratos; ■ the strong aggressiveness of Truesdale; the pow- erful running of Wunderlich; and McRae ' s long 40 yard punt. The cold of the day, the mud of the field, and the heartbreaking de- feat doused the hopes of tlie team for coming into third place in a tie with Millington. Un- fortunately, the Coach Peters ' Special Play did not work. The conscientious efforts of managers Work, Perkins, and Aycock proved to be im- portant in the development of the team. These boys deserve the praise of the entire squad. 127 k Vt!i • ' j,i X ' ftSi %« V„ ' -- ' - ' ' f BASKETBALL Memphis University School opened its ' 62- ' 63 basketball season with a new coach and a young team, composed of two seniors, three juniors, and four sophomores. The season began too soon for the Owls. They had had only two weeks of practice and two scrimmages before the first game. Al- though the scrimmages against Messick and Kingsbuiy, who became prep champions, were helpful, the players hadn ' t molded into a playing team. The opening game of the season against White Station was cancelled, but the follow- ing night the year started with Westside. The game was a see-saw battle, and Westside pulled out a 56-51 win at their home court. League play opened two nights later against the Bartlett Panthers. The first quarter was disastrous for the Owls as Bartlett ran off almost a twenty point lead. The team never gave up and showed great spirit but couldn ' t ever overcome the initial period deficit. Four Owl starters hit in double figures with Sloan Young leading the way with fifteen points. Whitehaven, defending county champions, was the next game on the schedule. White- haven used a slow down, stall offense, be- cause of their lack of height on the boards. The game was close until the final period when the Owls had to foul in order to get the ball. Whitehaven just didn ' t miss their free throws and defeated MUS 52-37. Tom- mie Thompson was the only man on our team to score in double figures with sixteen. The first win of the season was a blazing 83-54 over Colliei-ville at the Dragons home court. MUS took command from the opening quarter and never let them have a chance. Jim Long was the high point man for the night with twenty-four. Thompson followed with fourteen and Young with tliirteen. The Owls played Harding Academy three nights later and the game was on the radio. Thompson, Young, Barton, Long, and Wliit- tington dominated the boards, while Cannon stole the ball. Jim Long was high point man with Thompson and Cannon following. The score was 81-57 in MUS ' s favor. 129 Standing: Coach Patterson, Long, Moore, Whittington, Young, Thompson. Kneeling: Tenant, Gillespie, Cannon, Kelley, Galbreih (manager). Germantown gave MUS a real tough game at the Owls home court. The Red Devils had three rebounders that could dunk the ball and were exceptionally tough on the boards. Although the team led all the way, Germantown remained doggedly just behind. The Owls eventually ran Ger- mantown down and came out with a 55-50 victory. Camion and Thompson paced the at- tack with fourteen and twelve points respec- tively. The last league game before the Christmas holidays took MUS to the Westwood court. Westwood started off with a hot streak and the Owls seemed sluggish. They were both surprised and dismayed that they were be- hind by five points at half-time. The second half was slightly better with the team pulling ahead and controlling the backboards. By fast breaks and pressing the Owls won a 63-53 decision. Tommy Thompson led the come-back with nineteen, followed by Gil- lespie — 15, Whitington with 14, and Long — 10. The first game during the Christmas holi- days was against arch-rival East High School. MUS took command of the first half, in a rather low-scoring game. At the half the Owls led 29-22. In the second half the team went ice-cold on shooting, while East began to put on a surge. In the final period. East gained the lead 40-38 and made two more foul shots to win the game 42-38. Not one MUS player was in double figures and the whole team only scored nine points in the second half. 130 The third annual MUS Invitational tourna- ment opened Dec. 27. Four teams were com- peting two from the prep league, Overton and White Station, and two from the county league, MUS and Bolton. MUS handled their first game well, beating Bolton 71-60. How- ever their second game was won by White Station, giving them the first place trophy. MUS took second place. League play re-opened on Jan. 4 with Bol- ton, The Christmas holidays hadn ' t had an adverse affect on the Owls. MUS dominated the game. Thompson, Young, Long, and Rick Moore controlled the backboards with ease over the smaller Bolton team. Thompson also set the scoring pace with twenty points and Young and Gillespie each contributed four- teen. MUS ran over Bolton, 76-55 which was ten points better than the preceeding Invi- tational game. The Oakhaven Hawks invaded the Owl court and gave the team quite a scare. The Hawks kept pace with the Owls all during the game. They played slow-down ball and offset the Owls ' timing. As the pressure mounted in the last of the game, the team came through. Rick Moore came off the bench to lead the scoring with thirteen points while Long and Thompson had eleven. The last game of the first round of league play was with Millington. The game see-sawed until just before the end of the first half, when MUS put on a scoring push and took the lead, 31-26. Jm 131 The second half MUS held on to their lead and won 51-50. Young had fifteen points. Bartlett raced away from MUS in the first quarter. Trow Gillespie led the return by hitting five consecutive jump shots. At half time, the deficit was only two points! Tommy Thomp- son who had hit twelve points in the first half, dumped in nineteen more the second half. MUS took its eighth consecu- tive league victory by a 66-62 margin. Sloan Young Trow Gillespie Pete Whitinston Mike Kelly The league leading Whitehaven Tigers matched their nine game win- ning streak to the Owls ' eight. White- haven scored the first few buckets but MUS quickly took over the lead. Gillespie and Cannon moved the ball too fast for the press. With a six point lead, the Owls successfully froze the ball for a minute and a half to insure their 45-41 victory. Moore and Young held scoring honors, with a 14 and 12 respectively. MUS kept its winning streak by de- feating the Dragons 86-35. Moore, Thompson, Long, and Young kept a balanced scoring attack with nineteen, sixteen, thirteen, and twelve respec- tively. The MUS winning streak stretched to one of the longest in Shelby County with an 82-32 over Harding Academy. As usual the Owl scoring was bal- anced; Kelly, Thompson, Young, and Cannon all scored in double figures. In the game between Germantown and MUS, the Devils took a quick thir- teen point lead in the first quarter, but MUS overcame it. Germantown tied the score during the fourth quar- mmg - m.

Thompson hit one with twelve seconds left. A Devil shot missed from half court, but one of their rebounders tipped it in to tie the game. In the first overtime period each team scored six points. In the second, Germantown went ahead by four and won. Westwood caught the full fury of the Owls as Cannon led the way with 19, followed by Long and Kelly who each had 13. The Bolton Wildcats had a great winning combination on their home court. MUS had been the only team to break it during the past two years. Bolton ran with MUS the first half, but the Owls maintained a 34-30 lead. The Owls kept calm under pressure and in- creased their lead. Thompson and Kelly had 16 points and Moore had 12, as did Young. The final score was 75-61. Millington came to MUS with a freish string of seven consecutive league victories. The Owls started a fast scoring pace that the Trojans couldn ' t keep up with. All of the MUS starters hit in the first quarter to put the Owls way out in front. The Trojan press failed to stop the onslaught. MUS left the court with a 79-57 victoiy. Three players were in double figures: Thompson — 24, Young — 13, Cannon — 15. The Owls next took on Prep league Catho- lic. The Terriors at first played a slow-down offense, but Cannon ' s ball stealing forced them to give it up. The first half was close, but MUS pulled away to a 78-53 victory. Thompson had 23 and Cannon 14. In the last game of the season MUS clinched second place by dumping Oakhaven 77-56. The scoring was again balanced: Thompson 23, Young 13, Moore 12, and Can- non 10. In the quarter-finals of the District 35 tournament, the Owls ' first game, MUS led Millington until just before half time, when they fell one point behind, 29-28. MUS slumped in the third quarter and was out- scored 25-8. The Owls fought back witli a 30 point last quarter, but it wasn ' t enough, and we lost, 71-66. Moore was high scorer with 17, followed by Thompson and Young with 12 and Cannon with 11. 133 I % SSM0 - i Left to Right: Varner, Lawson, Larson, Lynn, T.

We finished with a 14-3 league record, and were second in the county. Losing our first two games knocked us out of contention for the championship, and an extremely cold night ruined our tournament chances. Still, there were some fine moments, such as the longed for defeat of Whitehaven and the trouncing of Millington after tlie squeaker played with them earlier. We had an extremely young team this year, and expect great things in the future, since we lose only two players, and just one starter. The student body gave the team fine sup- port, and was still satisfied with the team ' s fine showing. Left to Right: Larson, Brakebill, Ferguson, Moore, Bowlin. 134 20 t, ' !

JRHIGH- DISTRICT CHAMPIONS The MUS Junior High basketball team got off to a slow start by losing tlieir first two games, but went on to win fifteen straight and placed 2nd in the County League. We fin- ished this great season by winning the dis- trict championship. Two of boys, Hal Rhea and Kent Wunderlich, made the All- Tournament team. Mr. Jerry Peters coached the boys. Ried Sanders Lee Moffatt Johnny Adams Dwight Drinkard Butch Petree Malcom McRae The Jrs. defeated a much larger but slower Germantown team at MUS. We out-ran them and out-rebounded them to win our first home game, 39-16. Wunderlich was high for both teams for the second time in the season, with 12, Rhea was next with 6, Sanders, Adams, and Drinkard all had 4, and Petree scored 4. Rhea, McRae, and Petree controlled the boards during the whole game. MUS Jrs. played Oakhaven School at MUS, posting their highest score of the season, 54- 17. We dominated the score, got the rebounds, and controlled the ball almost the whole game. Here the full court press was very helpful. Next, MUS played Millington there. It was a very close game, and during the first quar- ter we had to call time-out and change our offense and defense. At the half the score was tied, but MUS came out fired-up to win, which they did, 26-20, making our fifth straight win and putting us in a three-way tie for second place. Hal Rhea was high scorer, with 9. The next game involved a formidable op- position in the extremely large Whitehaven team. We played a very fast game, trying to run them down. In the third quarter, they were worn down, and many of their players. as did two of ours, had fouled out. However, we took a small lead, and ended up defeating Whitehaven 32-20. Here again, our full court press paid off, and so did our offense against a press. We also did a good job of making attempted baskets. Wunderlich scored 18, Adams 6, Rhea 4, and Hill and Sanders 2 apiece. MUS met Oakhaven a second time there. The Jr. Owls were a little over-confident and didn ' t hustle, but did make good use of the full-court press. Oakhaven was defeated .32- 24. We had beaten them by 37 points before. Wunderlich was high scorer with 9, McRae and Adams had 5, Caradine had 4, Hill had 3, and Sanders, Moffatt, and Drinkard had 2 each. MUS was very fired-up when they went to play their last league game. The game was with Millington at MUS. We played a fast game, and ousted the Trojans 49-18. McRae, Rhea, and Petree controlled the boards, and Adams, Wunderlich, and McRae did a fine job of pressing the Millington guards. Adams was high scorer with 13, McRae had 8, Rhea 7, and Wunderlich, Drinkard, and Petree had 4. Ried Schadt Gcorse Stratton Kent Wunderlich Hal Rhea Hank Hi!! The Shelby County district tournament was what everyone had been waiting for. Our first round game was with Millington. We were tight and over-confident most of the game, and in the last minutes of the third quarter we started to slow down and in the fourth period we went into a stall to win 33-23. Wun- derlich had 14, Rhea 7, McRae and Adams 5, and Petree 2. The next night we played Colliei-ville in the semi-final round. We were still tight and over- confident, and although we had a first period lead, Collierville hit their shots and out-re- bounded us and led by 8 at the half. The team came out fired up in the third quarter and tied the score and then took the lead. In I ' h the fourth period we went into a stall but with four seconds left a Colliei ville player was fouled. As we were only two points ahead, he could have won the game if he had made l:)oth his shots, but he missed and we won, 29- 27. We were now advanced to the finals. We were considered the underdog to the larger Whitehaven team. We took a 9-6 first quarter lead, and pressed and slowed the game down, and won the championship, 16-14. Wunder- lich and Rhea were selected All-Tournament.

On September 4, school began, as did something which at fifst was not noticeable, but came into view on the fifth of Sep- tember as chapel in the new auditorium began. At the podium stood Mr. William Hansard, the school librarian and seventh grade geography teacher. With solemn motion he raised his arms, signaling the commencement of our first hymn. The new system had begun. Faces grimaced with wonder, for the changes that proceeded were indeed radical. During the ' 62 summer, the administration had been work- ing. The complete class schedule had been changed. At 8:30 school began; eight periods followed, and the day ended at the unheard-of hour of 3:15 P.M. What had happened? Students were shoveling lunch into their mouths at breakneck speed. The halls were quieter (for what reason has yet to be determined). Either the system is the cause, or seventh graders are not what they used to be. In former years, the school had attempted to establish a successful, small hard core cheerleading group among the boys, and, to put it as tactfully as possible, it had, up until now, been a miserable failure, due, not to the school, but to the stu- dents. This year (no doubt to go down in the school ' s history as the start of something ) a large hard core group has been formed under Mr. Patterson ' s supervision: the cheering at the games is remarkably better and the school hopes it will con- tmue (with good reason). Perhaps even more remarkably, the Student Council or Moore Min- istry has regained its former authority after a lapse of some years. There have actually been already more meetings than in the last two years together. A point system (luckily for some leaders to go into effect next year) is being planned. The program is optimistic at the least. I The paper and annual even seem to be changing in theme and purpose under Crook and Bloodworth, Most obvious is Crook ' s wider and fairer coverage of the lower grades, including a new column which may provide interest, Penniless Jun- ior (the originality no doubt suffers from former conventions). Under the system, Bloodworth has, perhaps fortunately, disturbed the practice of having the complete school as a staff. Instead, relying on a hand-picked group of seniors and one junior, he hopes for a much superior yearbook. It is rather hard to deduce whether the Honor Council has changed under the system, for in former years, the council has always functioned well and, therefore, a change might not be for the best. Only a few days ago came something new, not in the scholarly vein, but still quite remarkable: a badminton tournament. Mr. Kelley is well-known for his interesting ideas. No doubt after a great deal of thought he has come up with this one. Whether or not the above will last or at least spur further changes remains to be seen. There are catches, of course; an example would be the hall problem, due mostly to the privileged few who believe themselves to be under no rule or authority, and feel that seniority will always carry them through. These hitches may be ironed out. If not, next year ' s students may be disappointed. 147 Scholastic Standing The academic standing of Memphis University School has long been one of which the school can be proud. It reflects the high educational standards, excellent training, and integrity of its faculty, coupled with the academic endeavors of a majority of students who have seen the great importance of diligent ap- plication to their school work. Every M.U.S. student should be concerned with this aca- demic standing, for it directly affects each one in several ways. For instance, it strongly influences his acceptance or rejection at the college of his choice. It stimulates in him a pride in his work and in his school which spurs him on toward greater achievements. It gives him confidence in his own ability and his importance to the group. Though comparatively new and limited in enrollment, M.U.S. has taken its place among the finest preparatory schools in the nation. It has produced a proportionately large number of Fin- alists and Semi-Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Qual- ifying Program; it has had an exceptionally large membership in the National Honor Society; it has sent its graduates to some of the finest colleges in the country. We hope this will be an in- spiration to those who have not excelled in their intellectual en- deavors to make an effort to develop that seriousness of purpose Censorship by Russell E. Bloodworth, Jr. There are many people who today feel that censorship is a good thing. Racy stories, sexy movies are often banned from Memphis completely. That some things may be dangerous to the youngsters of today is obvious, and when it becomes appar- ent that certain conditions are dangerous to young people, they should be removed just as any evil. This holds for movies and books. But, when censorship applies to the adult level, a level on which people are supposedly capable of deciding what is right for themselves, censorship is not only dangerous but un- constitutional. It is very common knowledge that here in America, people have the right to do as they please as long as they do not en- danger the happiness of others. To think that the very existence of a movie is wrong is erroneous; to think that what is bad for one IS therefore bad for another is usually incorrect. And yet, movies are still harmed from the adult audience because some- one feels they are dangerous. As nasty as it may sound, this same tendency to do someone else ' s thinking is prevalent in So- viet Russia. Perhaps a solution might be a different attitude toward things which we may know nothing about, an attitude of wiDingness to at least look at ideas that differ to be sure the ideas are correct.

The magnifi- cent ride to Curt P a r h a m ' s farm (we owe thanks to Mr. Frank Whitington and Mr. Par- ham) was topped off by a slight drizzling snowfall, but, some- how the boys seemed to keep warm. After Turner, or num- ber one, and Grenley managed to tear the house apart, the boys and their dates piled back on the hay truck, so good ol ' Joe, our driver, could get himself home. Friday, October 19, 1962 Junior Penniless The six-weeks test effects slowly are wearing off, and it looks like, as the smoke clears, some new happy love affairs along with gay happenings are coming into view. Memories are made of this and all, but to most (after that party on Shady Grove not long ago) it might be better tc do away with ALL memories. Yet, ol ' J. R.

M9 Volume 8, Number 2 MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL School Dedicates Hyde I Somewhere in the dark night of her early tragedy-stricken life, two questions must have come to Ruth Sherman Hyde as she lay on her invalid ' s bed. ' Is not the Lord your God with you? And has he not given you peace on every side? ' And somewhere from the depths of her black despair this remark- able polio victim was able to surr mon what Carlyle called ' an everlasting Yea ' to these queries. ' Yes! God is surely with me! Yes! His peace sur- rounds me. ' Once the eternal yes had been formed in her heart and had fallen from her lips Ruth Hyde was ready to follow the leading of our text. For it reads, ' Now, set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God. ' For once Ruth Hyde gained that beautiful cer- tainty of God ' s presence and peace, she dedicated her life to an active seeking of God and His will. These were the wonderful be- ginning sentences used by Dr. Donald M. Wardlaw in his ad- dress at the dedication ' cere- mony for the new Hyde Chapel, in memory of Ruth Sherman Hyde. Nearly four hundred peo- ple were present at the func- tion, held on November 11. The program began with the processional, played by Charles L. Mosby. The singing of America and the invocation, given by the Reverend Daly Thompson, Jr. of Wesleyan Hills Methodist -Church, fol- lowed. Then the headmaster. Dr. Ross M.

The football team practiced at school for four days before heading for summer football camp at Horseshoe Lake. Mr. Lowell Taylor made sleeping accommadations pos- sible, so for a week the team played, ate, slept football. The week ended with an intersquad game and a barbeque for the parents of the players and the team. The Owls opened their season with the Millington Tro- jans. The powerful Millington team beat the Owls 14-6. The Owls were simply outmanned. The next week the Treadwell Eagles downed MUS by an 18-6 score. The team ' s record was 0-2, but considering that they had played the two toughest opening games in school history, the Owls didn ' t feel they were beaten for the season. MUS Owls Clobber Germanlown, 48-0 On Sept. 27, MUS swamped Germantown 48-0 in a game completely dominated by the Owls. In the first half, Spike Taylor scored all of the Owl ' s ISO pKDints..

' 63 153 CLASS HISTORY Boy, oh boy, didn ' t you hate coming ])ack to school this year? Up until the last week, you thought that Summer Vaca- tion was here to stay. Then people started saying, I sure do believe that there is only one week until school starts! Re- memJier how that ran through your mind, one (1) week! Finally you resigned your- self to it and made preparations for one last fling. Every once in awhile some clod would mention summer reading, and you would lift your eyes to the sky and mut- ter a sfcort prayer that the summer read- ing would somehow get itself done. Then that last night, you would look at the clock, 3:15 A.M., and then at your book, only 206 pages to go and then I only have to read two more; oh well, he prob- ably won ' t give the test till next week. The next day, that glorious first day, the beast announces that he will give the test to- morrow on one of the two that you haven ' t read yet. Didn ' t think that you ' d have to get sick so early in the year, did you? As you seated yourself in the shiny new chapel, in your assigned seat, you could 154 have screamed, it was so unreal. There they were, up on the stage and gathered all around you, all ready to torture you for nine solid months. As you sat there, you noticed the student giving the devo- tional, a quaint custom. Devotional!, humm, let ' s see, my last name starts with a B , I ' ve got it tomorrow, TOMOR- ROW!, now I know I ' ll have to get sick tomorrow. After chapel you went to your other classes, having no douht in your mind that this was going to be the hardest year yet. Funny ' thing about how the teachers were breaking the old custom of no homework on the first day. Somehow you fell into tlie routine of it all, but you never did get to like it. Homework is really a loser thing to do at night. After the first week or so the teach- ers started giving those good old long term assignments. ' Twas many a night that you let them sneak up on you and found yourself reading 600 page books in one night and doing term papers in one day. You entered into lots of extra activities to get out of as many study halls as pos- sible and give you an excuse for not doing your homework. Sometimes they got to be as hard as homework. After awhile a few blessed holidays came along, ones that always seemed to be over before they started. The teachers always found holidays a good time to give big assignments, which were done, as usual, the night before coming back. You saw history in the making this year, remember the invasion of Missis- sippi? The day when you were approached in the hall by the reporter from the school paper. What do you think of the Ole Miss Crisis? Remember the Cuba Crisis, yes, when bomb shelters came back into style and Mr. Hatchett predicted war be- fore Christmas. You thought to yourself, say if there is war before Christmas, may- be they will let school out. Mr. McQueen said that the Russians would back down; how did he know? There were lots of football games, great excuses for not doing any homework. Remember how you would procrastinate over your homework? How did you like the new System this year? Chapel in the middle of the morn- ing still seems pretty strange. There were some pretty rare devotionals this year. Say, look at my devotional and tell me what you think of it. Good grief, it ' s awful long, isn ' t it? Oh no, see, I ' m just going to read the last paragraph. The System did bring some good things: getting out at 3:15, for instance. Then there were the new clubs; boy, were they ever fun, except on the days that you had 155 PiIp 111 the program. The System also brought the shorter kmch period; too bad if you hap- pened to be a little late and got in at the end of the line; some of us never ate more than a Brownie Bar for lunch all year. What would we have done if Mrs. Soldan wouldn ' t give us a Brownie Bar on credit every once in a while? We really got the best of her, though, when somebody turned the freezer off and she had to give all the ice cream away; too bad it was all melted. Funny how the demerit rate suddenly went up when they made all the hall rules, but the Student Council didn ' t get too much fun out of it either; that ' s what they get for neglecting their duty. It does seem like the Student Council could have come up with some better niles, like doubling Christmas vacation or something. Christmas vacation was fun, though; remember the Christmas tree in the hall that almost got knocked over as you slid into Government class. As usual, Coach Bland came out with more presents than he could carry; seems like some of the teachers would get jealous and sug- gest to the Student Council that if a stu- dent is going to give gifts he must give all the teachers one, poor teachers, they work so hard all first semester being nice to students so they will really cash in at Christmas and then Coach Bland doesn ' t even try and sets a new record every year. There were plenty of good parties at Christmas to keep every one in the spirit. The boys that have girls away at school really liked Christmas, seeing as how it was the only time they got to see them all year. Then after Christmas the girls went back leaving many sad hearts in their wake, but there were always letters, at least for the first week or two, when they started to thin out. It was too bad when you realized that she just wasn ' t writing as much as she used to. You would come home expecting a wonderful love letter and get a weather report or no letter at all; well, that ' s the risk you take when you let them get too far away. If you were lucky, you got to rid(3 the school bus this year. If you were even luckier, you got to ride Mr. Edwards ' bus. Mr. Edwards is such a nice school bus driver; didn ' t he always have a kind word and a smile for you when you stepped out of the cold into the cheery warmth and good spirits of the school bus? Was everybody pleased with the Who ' s Who elections this year? Aren ' t they a 156 fine group of boys? It ' s good tliat this year we ' ve finally found some real dramatic talent at MUS. Some of our stars were in the Shakes- peare Festival, Rigoletto, (who could forget Crook ' s sterling portrayal of a food carrier in the Duke of Mantua ' s entour- age; such sensitivity and down-to-earth realism), and last hut not least, My Three Angels, that wonderful comedy with all the big name experienced stars. The hayride to Doodie ' s farm that the Seniors had was certainly a success; won- der why all the chaperones chickened out: oh well, they ' ll never know what they missed. Can ' t you still hear Get — booming through the Farmhouse?? Who can deny the success of the Mid- Winter dance? There were lots of people there, even some that you didn ' t know. People are still wondering why Grenley didn ' t win tlie Queen of Hearts contest. If you think about it for awhile, it would be more fun to take out Sally than Henry. There certainly were some good chapel programs this year; if you weren ' t inter- ested in officiating, there was always free 157 Spring Vacation . . enterprise or a spelling bee (Yeh, Henry! ) . There was the physics film with the men on the ceiling and sliding pucks and revolving rooms and carts attached to balls attached to slow-motion cameras at- tached to moving houses attached to the earth, which all went to prove that it all depends on how you look at it; after all, the earth is moving constantly, and then you have to take into consideration the force of inertia and gravity. You never had more fun confusing your date than you did that night, making her think that you understood the whole mess. You often went to Lausanne lectures and watched Mr. Hatchett getting his English book autographed by Aldous Hux- ley. Speaking of Mr. Hatchett, remember the great hypothetical carpet hoax, George Washington ' s birthday, and the Civitan Essay Contest? Spring vacation came this year as usual. Too bad you didn ' t get to go to Florida with the rest of the gang. The elections were fun this year. Dur- ing campaign week it was awfully hard to keep your mind on your studies with all the posters to read and buttons to wear. It ' s too bad that the elections always have to end just when you figure out who ' s run- ning. As this school year draws to a close and signs of its close, like the annual coming out, are beginning to crop up, you look back. Soon another Senior Class will be leaving us for good. Goodbye, Seniors! You were nice Seniors and we liked you a lot. Well, back to looking back on the school year. You ' ve made it through an- other year and you passed, if you were lucky. Next year we ' ll do it again and you just can ' t wait, can you? It was an experi- ence, whether it was school or not; above all it was an experience, a very complex one that left you with memories, the good with the bad. Good-bye, school, see you next year, unless, of course, I ' m a Senior, and then I ' ll see you some day, some- where, hanging around. 58 lip m Ads 1963 160 Compliments of HOEHN CHEVROLET COMPANY Insure your Future with an MARX BENSDORF, INSURED SAVINGS ACCOUNT INC.
