Memphis University School - Owl Yearbook (Memphis, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 190 of the 1964 volume:

Volume VIII, 1964 FOREWORD The avowed purpose of high school yearbooks is to provide a collection of rememberances of the students and the events of the past year. In general, however, these same yearbooks beconne rather dull and artificial by list- ing only activities, events and emotionalisms which are little known or remembered by other students. We, the editors and staff of the annual, fully believe that the most effective way to remember people is to be re- minded of their characteristics and personalities. With that ai m in mind, we wished to bring these characteristics to life in the most vivid manner— that of parody, satire, and humor. In the sincere hope that everything in the annual will be taken in a spirit of jest (as it was written and intended) we respectfully offer you the 1 964 Owl. Sincerely Richard Gatling Barham Ray RICHARD M. GATLING C.

BLAND is probably the best known teacher at AA.U.S., mainly be- cause of his friendliness and many years of devoted service to the school. Coach Bland, as he is known to all, wqs one of the first teachers at AA.U.S. He received his B.S. de- gree from University of Tennessee in 1951 and his AA.A. degree from Memphis State in 1954. As an avid supporter of ' his alma mater, he annually institutes the U-T spirit in the new seventh graders. Before coming to M.U.S. he taught for several years at Whitehaven High School. Since joining the faculty he has taught Tennessee History, Bible and Physical Education. He has also taken a role in sports by coaching Varsity, B-team, and Junior High football and bas- ketball. Coach Bland spent thirty months in the Pacific in the Air Force and after return- ing, he has been a member of the National Guard. He has taken annual trips to Nashville for the past several years. The trips are limited to seventh and eighth . graders, and their purpose is to aid the Tennessee history course by giving the boys a first-hand knowledge of the state government. Also, for the past six years. Coach Bland has taken boys to New Orleans to see the Sugar Bowl football game on January 1 . Coach Bland ' s interest in sports is not lim- ited to spectatorship. He has been an out- standing football referee and can be seen at many county football games. His fine work was rewarded in 1963 when he was elected president of the West Tennessee Officials Association. Every year at Christmas, he may be seen carting away thousands of presents from the tree in the foyer— one of the signs of his great popularity with the boys. He is known as the protector of the seventh grade and can be seen emerging from behind doors to come to the rescue of the little people. During the war Coach Bland traveled ex- tensively in Panama, Columbia, Ecuador, the Bahamas, and the Galapogas Islands. He is a member of the Tennessee Educa- tional Association, Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, the Mid-South Officials Association, and is affiliated with Second Presbyterian Church. jL i H r P ■vMifi , - H j mp t - -Jl .aHB H Because of his devotion to the school, his popularity among all the boys, and for every- thing that he has contributed to Memphis University School in both time and effort, we, the members of the annual staff, re- spectfully dedicate the 1964 Owl to Mr. Edward Bland. m •tSii ' m BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Memphis University School charter provides that a Board of Trustees shall act as a board of control.

In addition the Board is charged with the em- ployment of the headmaster and each mem- ber of the faculty and staff. The Board con- sists of twenty-one active members who serve three year terms. It is largely a self- perpetuating group with fifteen of its twen- ty-one active members being elected at large by the present Board. The other six mem- bers are elected by the Second Presbyterian Church. The Board is composed of prom- inent men from the city of Memphis who have served the school by contributing gen- erously of their time and means. Active Members- Alexander W.

Beginning in the seventh and eighth grades, the student receives extensive exposure to litera- ture and practice in writing as well as the standard study in grammar. During the ninth and tenth grades all students study a comprehensive course in American literature as well as concluding their formal study of English grammar. In the junior year a student is given the choice of studying either English Literature or Western World Literature. As a senior the student completes the course which he began the year before. The Western World Literature course is an Advanced Placement course, i.e. a student can in some cases receive college credit and or advanced course placement in college. MR. WILLIAM HATCHETT, Chairman of the De- partment of English at Memphis University School, and holder of the Joseph P. Hyde chair of English, is an accomplished scholar and edu- cator. He has a wide range of experience, re- ceiving his B.A. degree at Southwestern College in 1949, his M.A. at Columbia University in 1951, and attending Cambridge University dur- ing 1953-1954. In 1954-1955 he taught at the Anglo-American High School in Athens. Since then he has been at M.U.S., teaching at present the junior and senior English literature courses and the Senior Western World literature course. While at Southwestern Mr. Hatchett was the edi- tor of the Sou ' wester. He has served as advisor to the paper and was the architect of the school history. Mr. Hatchett is the author of the Study of Books, a book of study questions for several of the classics. In his first teaching position, MR. WILLIAM BEN- NETT is teaching Sophomore English and Junior Western World Literature Course. Mr. Bennett has attended Millsaps College in Jackson, Missis- sippi. He received his B.A. with a major in Eng- lish and a minor in Latin graduating Cum Laude, Mr. Bennett is presently working on his masters degree at Memphis State. 13 VIR. WILLIAM MILLS came to AA.U.S. in 1 961 to teach eighth and ninth grade English. His unique sense Df humor and culture has brought him quick pop- ularity. Having earned his B.A. in English at South- western College, Mr. Mills did graduate work at Aemphis State University. He served in the Philip- Dines during the Second World War, and later went nto the Real Estate business. Teaching is his main in- terest and this year he is in charge of the new public speaking course. During the summer of 1962 he traveled extensively around the continent, especially in Italy. Wimmnmmmimimltmmiiiimmiitimili MR. BRYAN E. NEARN has achieved two firsts at M.U.S. He is the first graduate of the newer school to return to teach. This is also his first teaching posi- tion since college. Mr. Nearn graduated from Tulane University with a B.A. in English and has done grad- uate work in English and Education at Memphis State University. Mr. Nearn is teaching lower grade English and is the faculty advisor of the Creative Writing Club. While he was a student at M.U.S., Mr. Nearn was on the paper staff, business man- ager of the Annual, a member of National Honor Society, and an end on the football team. At Tulane Mr. Nearn was active in many student activities and was a ven active member of Sigma Chi social fra- ternity. 14 MR.

At M.U.S., he teaches ninth grade English as well as composing the hand- book. 5 DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES The MUS Department of Social Science is comprised of four teachers. The chairman, Mr. Leigh Mac- Queen, Mr. Jerry Peters, Mr. Carl Patterson, and Mr. Edward Bland. A student ' s social science educa- tion begins in the seventh and eighth grades with Mr. Bland teaching Tennessee history and Mr. Pat- terson ' s American history. The high school students are required to take American history, either as juniors or seniors. At the present time juniors are offered the opportunity to take senior type Ad- vanced Placement Course. Other elective courses in this field are World History, taught by Mr. Mac- Queen, U. S. Government, taught by Mr. Peters,- and Russian History and Government taught jointly by Messrs. MacQueen and Peters. The Russian History and Government course is unique in this area. It is a study in the comparative governments of the U. S. and the U.S.S.R. with emphasis upon modern Soviet life, as well as of Russian History. MR. LEIGH MACQUEEN, as head of the MUS Department of History has taught U.S. History, World History, Modern European History, and Russian History. Mr. MacQueen ' s dynamic lec- turing has made what could be a dull course a very interesting one. His lectures, which were carefully prepared during a whole summer, hold the interest of his students and also transmit many bits of information that a textbook course would not offer, such as Mr. MacQueen ' s lec- tures on the Atlantic Cable, Lincoln ' s Assassi- nation, and Grover Cleveland ' s Operation. Mr. MacQueen received his B.A. from South- western College in 1955, and has done grad- uate work at Vanderbilt University and Memphis State University. Before coming to MUS Mr. MacQueen taught at Presbyterian Day School, where he was director of Athletics and Chair- man of the Departments of History and Science. Mr. MacQueen taught a new course in Russian history, and did his usual excellent job in mak- ing the course come alive. Along with his teach- ing duties Mr. MacQueen is Assistant advisor to the annual staff and is head of the Advanced Placement Program at MUS. 16 Memphis University School is indeed fortunate in having MR. JERRY PETERS on its faculty. Mr. Peters graduated from Southv estern College in 1960, re- ceiving his B.A. in political science. He received his M.A. degree from Memphis State University in 1962. Having come to M.U.S. in 1960, Mr. Peters has proved to be invaluable in numerous v ays. As well as teaching the course in United States Govern- ment, and one in mathematics, he is a physical edu- cation coach and Junior High Athletic Director. He has coached varsity track and junior high football. He coached the junior high basketball team to a county championship v ith a 12-0 record. In college he played basketball and baseball; he is a member of the Memphis Track Club. Another laurel in Mr. Peter ' s athletic wreath was his membership in the two-mile relay team of West Tennessee in 1955, and of the Mid-South in 1 956. MR. CARL PATTERSON came to M.U.S. after his graduation from Memphis State University, where he studied for four years and received his M.A. in education. Mr. Patterson played basketball during high school and attended Memphis State on an ath- letic scholarship. In 1959 he arrived at M.U.S. and since then he has taught history, health, and Bible in the lower grades. During the summer, he worked with the boys at the M.U.S. DAY CAMP basketball clinic and was an instructor in other fields at the camp. During his first two years at M.U.S. Mr. Pat- terson coached junior high basketball. Last year he took over coaching the varsity team which this year had the most successful season in school history finishing with a 24-2 record and a county cham- pionship. 17 DEPARTMENTS OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS AAUS offers a wide choice of science and math courses for its students. After the general science courses of the lower grades, the student is offered high school level or advanced placement courses in biology, chemistry, and physics. The well-equipped labs provide excellent background for college level work. The student is offered an advanced math program starting in the eighth grade. Eighth grade students are allowed to take first year algebra and thus finish the normal four year high school math study in the eleventh grade. As seniors these students may take a college level calculus course. This accelerated program makes it possible for a student to receive college credit or advanced place- ment in one math course and two or three science courses. MR. ROBERT SMITH graduated from the Michigan State University in 1956 with his major in history and his minor in physical science. He did graduate work at Memphis State University, and in the sum- mer of 1962 studied at Montana State University on a National Science Foundation Scholarship. 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. Mr. Smith teaches chemistry, physics, and general science. Mr. Smith holds membership in the Tennessee Science Teachers Association. During his years at M.U.S. he has served as advisor to the stu- dent council and several other groups, and has, among other things, donated an exceptionally fine pool table as supplement to the school ' s facilities. He is presently operating the school book store which specializes in sweatshirts, Beatle records and Edgar Rice Burrough ' s books. MR. D. EUGENE THORN is probably one of the best known teachers in the school. He has made many friends in his eight years of devoted service to M.U.S. In 1950 he received his B.S. Degree from Memphis State University, and in 1953 his M.A. Degree from the same institution. Coach Thorn, as he is better known, played college basketball and minor league baseball; he has served as line coach for the varsity football team and is now M.U.S. Athletic Director and head coach of the physical edu- cation program. His work in the Memphis Univer- sity School Summer Day Camp program is another sign of his devotion to the school. He was instru- mental in the organization of the club system at M.U.S. MR.

DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES MUS has a language program which makes it possible for a student to study four years of one lan- guage or three years of Latin and three years of another, while taking only one language at a time. First year Latin is offered to all students in the eighth grade. The ninth grade student is offered the choice of taking either second ' year Latin or the first year of a modern language, either French or Span- ish. If the student chooses to take Latin, then he receives credit for two years and then takes three years of a modern language. The student who begins his modern language study as a freshman may take an advanced placement course as a senior. MR.

He is presently choirmaster at Raines Hill Baptist Church. 23 F UTURE E XPANSION 24 FUTURE EXPANSION PROGRAM This year AA.U.S. began another big step for- ward when the Board of Trustees announced its plans for another fund raising campaign, the fourth such project to be undertaken since the school was founded in 1955. Since that time AA.U.S. has grown by leaps and bounds until the value of its present plant is over $1 ,500,000. The goal for the latest fund raising campaign was set at $250,000, and Mr. Thomas H. Hutton, par- ent of two AA.U.S. students and member of the Board of Trustees was named General Chairman of the development fund campaign. The $250,000 will be a substantial part of the amount necessary to begin an extensive expan- sion plan which will be injected into virtually every area of school life. The plan has taken into consideration most of the present and future needs of the school. The money can also be used to pay a portion of our existing debt. Commenting on the expansion plans AAr. Alec W. Wellford, President of the Board of Trustees said, The plans for the long range development of the school are the result of months of prepara- tion and study and campus planning. They are designed to best utilize the ninety-four acres of property available and to leave plenty of room for any future expansion. The athletic department has several immediate needs that will be met by the funds from the campaign. A new cinder track will be a welcome addition to Hull-Dobbs Athletic Field which just acquired permanent seating facilities on the east side. It is hoped that permanent stands will also rise on the west side in the near future. In ad- dition to these badly needed improvements, an- other dressing room will be constructed on the west side of the gymnasium to make a total of three dressing rooms. Other supplements to ath- letic facilities will be a completely new baseball diamond, two more athletic practice fields, and nine tennis courts to replace the four that will have to be destroyed eventually to make room for another building. The 1963-1964 Development Program offers opportunities for names of patrons, friends and relatives to be perpetuated through DESIGNATED GIFTS as well as through MEMORIAL GIFTS. Remember- - pledges may be paid over a period of 3 or more years. ■ • ! V III mWPl-frtin tbiiniiti f iinfti. tr ' - • =i- .---■ HW iff « M. i,, iSf, ■ i i 1W y r r id In order to retain the teachers that we have now, and to attract more teachers of this high caliber in the future, the expansion plan includes the construction, on campus, of homes for the faculty. This is just one of the many things that makes AA.U.S. attractive to good teachers. These homes would be erected at the south-east corner of the school property along Ridgeway Road near the Headmaster ' s home which is already located in this area. A number of improvements will be made from which students will greatly benefit. Since there is a great need at the present time for a place where any student can go during his free time to converse or study, a student lounge will be built near the existing book store. A porte-cochere to be constructed in this area will make it pos- sible to enter the building without being exposed to bad weather. To meet the demands of an increasingly larger student body, several new classrooms will be built. The administration believes that there is a need for additional science laboratories. These new laboratories will materialize in the form of a new science and math building to be constructed in the area immediately west of the existing lab- oratories. The experience obtained from the past nine years of operation have led the administration to the conclusion that it would be advisable to separate the seventh and grades from the senior school. Consequently, a lower school will be constructed east of the auditorium. It will have completely separate classrooms and dining area. The school has received many inquiries from out of town students who have expressed an interest in AA.U.S., but were unable to attend be- cause there were no boarding facilities. The ex- pansion program will include a dormitory east of the proposed lower school. This will make it possible for us to accommodate a number of boarding students. AA.U.S. has made immeasurable progress dur- ing the past nine years. This has been principally due to the continued interest and generosity of our friends and patrons. The annual staff wishes to express the appreciation of the entire school to all those who have made previous contribu- tions as well as to those who have contributed to the recent campaign. With such interest AA.U.S. must continue to become a greater insti- tution. t«S- -T r £ r r r r]r IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT Qflemjim Qinivefisiii cU MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL. . . . . .prepares students for entrance into any of the leading colleges and universities in the country. . . .gives substantial training in various branches of liberal education to thus fit its graduates for business and the responsibilities of life. . . .develops and trains responsible Christian gentlemen.

He was the only senior who was skunked 37 consecu- tive times in one week. Dave is still tearing his hair out and wearing sackcloth with Cajun Jim because Doughtie made a 775 on his College Boards. Dave finally got his letter this year after two years sweating it out at football camp. He is still indebted to Pipes who, at football camp, found his mouthpiece just in the nick of time. Every morning Dave practices his unique 10,000 meter walking form while picking up the absen- tee slips. 34 RICHARD THADDEUS DOUGHTIE III June 14, 1946, Memphis, Tennessee Basketball Manager 1; Football Manager 2, 3; Pep Club 4; Paper Staff 2, 3; Library Staff 3; Typing Editor- Annual Staff 4. Dick is known around school as a snappy dress- er. We think he should have been voted Best- Dressed, but his Raiford Specials knocked him out of the final voting. Dick has been very jittery for the past few years. What ' s he been taking— Dex ' s? He did not do well in physics but made 775 on his College Boards. Oh well, we ' ll remember Dick as The Good Samaritan who is always willing to go the extra mile— on your gas.

MUS ' s intellectual and cultural stimulation is, of course, none other than Preacher Gatz. He ' s the clown who reads New Force poets between brush strokes on his new painting while listening to classical music during rest periods in his weight program. But we all know he is missing the boat. His love life is strictly Platonic. His fear of the opposite sex stems from a repression of his basic ID drives imposed by his ego. He has identified himself with a distant cousin who has vowed celibacy, and he has assumed the same crazy attitude. Actually this is just non- sense. He is just another Walter Mitty.

Scotty might be said to be the all-around stu- dent. Still he has a few eccentricities. Calling pea- cocks at the zoo was his old pastime. But when he found that the peacock mating calls had no effect on his dates, he took up weight lifting and guitar playing in an effort to snow the women. Heppel is noted for his discoveries at Lausanne, but he never seems to develop a personal rela- tionship (due to a certain friend on the track team). Whatever the case may be, you can see Scotty wandering around in a stupor, worrying about the next school party, like the last one. You remember. The one where the band didn ' t show. ROBERT ARTHUR HUNT Engineering Club 3, 4; Office Staff 4; Paper Staff 3. Rob is the only person we know who could drink a beaker of copper sulfate and live. He must have a stomach as hard as Steve AAinkin ' s. Rob would like to think that he was named after Robert E. Lee, for he is a nut on the Civil war. If he had lived a hundred years earlier, the South surely would have won the war due to Rob ' s magnificent strategy. If you don ' t believe it, just ask him-he ' ll tell you. We would also like to give him credit for his adeptness in the chemistry lab, and we wonder what causes the gleeful grin that creeps over Rob ' s face every time there is an explosion in the basement. Rob recently finished his new book. How To Succeed on Col- lege Boards Without Really Trying. 36 GEORGE PIERCE JONES October 30, 1946, Memphis, Tennessee Basketball J; Track, Cross-country 2, 3; Co-Captain 4; Lettermen ' s Club 3, 4; Fine Arts 3; Paper Staff 3; Folk Singing 4; Sportmen ' s Club 4; Annual Staff 4; Presi- dent-Episcopal Youth Council, St. George ' s; Jr. Olympic l-Ugh and Low Hurdle Winner 3; Shelby County High Hurdle Champion 3. Pierce is M.U.S. ' s candidate for the 1968 Olympics. Yes, he has had some great victories on the cinders. Remember the time he tripped on his shoe strings at the county meet, or the twenty-lap relay where he ran seven laps instead of five and still won? This year, however, he has spent a little less time running because he ' s been busy driving between Germantown and Laus- anne. We can ' t imagine why. We wonder if Fay is going to establish a direct line from Galveston to Memphis this summer. Surely that would be cheaper than all those long distance phone calls. Oh, well.

Gordan, also known as the Swindler, is the wheeler-dealer of the senior class. He will buy anything and sell it for a profit, (Yes, even that). One of his most successful ventures was selling Christmas trees, but unfortunately he was pre- vented from making a million because he became violently ill. (You guessed it— he was allergic to them.) Gordon is another member of that elite social group which meets every Friday night at G.G.C. Gordon finally gave up French because Mr. Morelock couldn ' t even hear him when he sat on the front row. He was a close second to Rich- ard Catling as the Most Talented. Yes, he can really paint. 37 CHARLES BURGESS LEDBETTER A larch 16, 1946 Atlanta, Georgia Football 1; Engineer ' s Club 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 3; Paper Staff 4; Annual Staff 2; Typing Editor 4; Red Cross 1, 2; March of Dimes 1 , 2. If anyone were to pick the ugliest car in the school parking lot, he would undoubtably choose Boogger ' s pea green bug. But Boogger stead- fastly defends the ghastly machine, probably be- cause he ' s spent so much money on it that he ' s got to like it a lot. When Burgess isn ' t busy put- ting the thing back together with scotch tape, he is ' checking ' at Big Star. He can be found every night at Jo Anne ' s. The other girls wish that he ' d give them a chance, but they don ' t have a prayer, because Boogger doesn ' t even get to see any other girls. Jo Anne won ' t let him get out of sight. We will never forget Burgess ' skill at 8-ball, his intelligent remarks in math, or his perpetual grin. We have learned that Boogger has decided to go to Southwestern-couldn ' t leave Jo Anne.

Cajun Jim came to AAUS from New Orleans at Mid-Semester of his sophomore year and the class of 1964 has never been the same since. Jim thinks New Orleans is the best town in the world. If it is, why did he come to Memphis? I guess we ' ll never know. There are a few other things we ' d like to know about Cajan. Was he really a member of the fabulous foursome at Gallo- way Golf Course? Where does he go with the Brow on Tuesday and Friday afternoons? Has he really beaten Burgess in 8-ball? How does he make lOO ' s on his book tests without reading the books? What on Earth do PSSSSSSSSSSST and GEEEETH mean? How many colleges did he apply to? How many times has he fouled out of a basketball game? Are his hands as big as Wilt Chamberlain ' s and his feet like Ernie Ladd ' s. Only he can answer these questions, but he ' il never tell. 38 ROBERT DeWESE LYNN, JR.

Of all the plays in the football games this year, the play that everyone will remember is Big Red ' s magnificent touchdown catch against Kingsbury. He managed to hang on to the ball even though he tripped over the crossbar. He was really a stand-out at split end because he could disguise himself as the down marker and be thirty yards down field before the defense ever spotted him. We ' ve recent ly heard that Red was signed by the forest rangers as a human watch tower. Red claims that his love for Lois is merely Platonic, but we know it is bigger than both of them.

Gary was voted Best Dressed in the senior class, but that was no great feat for him. He has a date every night and since he stays up all night, he wears the same clothes to school that he wore on the date. Gary is an avid reader, and in an effort to spread the cult, he organized a Magazine Membership League with Mr. Mac- Queen as his charter member. After hearing Gary and T. talk about their tennis trip parties, the entire senior class went out for the tennis squad. They were terribly disappointed when they found out that they would have to learn how to play tennis before they could go to Chattanooga. If Gary is still at school eighth period he may be found in the Senior Common Room playing pool or imitating Joe, the bartender.

Perhaps the nicest boys in the Senior Class, Bill and Sandy are like Mutt and Jeff. Noted for his library article in the paper, Bill can be seen rushing to the library in all spare moments, with absentee slips stashed in all his pockets. Bill is planning on going to Southwestern and rooming in the dorm.

Thurston is probably the safest driver in the senior class, so he goes driving anytime during the day. He devotes the rest of his time (when he ' s not cruising around in Twist ' s car) to playing pool. His pool game has improved tremendously, but his grades have really suffered. As he puts it, I went into my senior second semester slump. He was accepted to Virginia during the first semester, and then the grades started to dip. This could have been due to the f act that he had to write the school paper practically unassisted. T. could have had his choice of hundreds of women, but finally settled on Charmin , who has her choice iff hundreds of men. 40 NESS OLSEN June 24, 1946, Memphis Tennessee Dramatics Club 3, 4; Fine Arts Club 4; Library Staff 1, 2; Young Republicans of Tennessee 4. Every class has a person that appreciates art, and every class has a person that appreciates music. We have a real break in Ness because we killed two birds with one stone. Not only does Ness appreciate art, but he loves music. Ness spends a great deal of time at art exhibitions, and he goes to the symphony whenever possible. Ness is very friendly but quiet, so if you want to find him, look for Bart or Charlie.

Tiny is undoubtedly our most frustrated lover. He ' s just one bundle of nerves and virulent energy. He has seen so many promising love affairs go down the drain, that he ' s really getting to be an authority. At last he thought he had found his girl but after a rather lengthy and formal courtship. Peso was given the ax. George says that he is giving up girls, (or vice- versa), and is going back to studying and weight lifting. His only pastime now is admiring himself in the mirror. However we know that there is a girl across the street who has a crush on George and who would do anything for a date with him. Yea, Margie B.

Wild Bill has had his house destroyed by post-game parties so many times that his insur- ance was revoked. Bill says that he and Peg are still pals even though she did give him the air. Bill ' s new flame is Molly, a hot little number from Hutch High. Bill says that he likes Molly because when they are together, things really get poppin ' . Bill pictures himself as a mighty hunter and a real sportsman, but he can ' t fool us, we know he ' s a poacher.

This annual was late because everytime there was a staff meeting Barham slipped outside to play basketball or golf. When Barham is assigned a parallel „ reading book, he ends up knowing more about the book than the person who wrote it. As a result of such conscientious study, he has applied to five colleges! Sickness could also have been more help on the annual if he hadn ' t been absent every other week. This poor devil is a real case for medical history. He is probably the only human who is hyper-susceptible to every known disease. He is really a walking catastrophe. Whatever sickness does in later years we will al- ways picture him happiest— in a vacuum.  iS t L - di ' Ji WILLIAM MILTON ROSS, JR.

This year, Ross went out for football again, but very few people knew it; he got on the field only twice and that was in practice. Bill got a letter with Dando this year. Too bad Jer wasn ' t there to complete the trio like they do in every thing else. When he is mentally in class, he shows unequalled adeptness in studying (hal). Big Bill is a real speed demon in the hot Falcon, but we wo nder how long it will last! We suggest that Ross read Hunt ' s new book.

You can take a boy away from Arkansas but you can ' t take Arkansas away from the boy. This statement really applies to our big friend from West Memphis. Everyday when school is out Van starts his long journey home. Sometimes on the weekends Van may be able to swim the river and make it to Memphis. The bright lights of the city don ' t lead this boy astray. He drinks milk and goes home at nine every night so he can get up with the sun. It has been said that Van gets more than one new car in a year for some reason.

Frank, alias Bino, Tin-Can, 707, etc. is another star Senior athlete. But he plays so many sports that he sometimes forgets what he is play- ing. He is the only athlete to be called for clip- ping in basketball, three seconds in golf, goal tending in football, and offsides in tennis. Frank is a recognized authority on such advanced math- ematical concepts as the decimal number system, adding, and trig functions. Tin-Can has a tre- mendous store of jokes, but we don ' t know if they are funny because he always goes into fits of convulsive anger before he finishes. GEORGE HARRY TREADWELL III March 10, 1946, Memphis, Tennessee Football 1, 2; Lettermen ' s Club 2, 3, 4; Hunting anc Fishing 4; March of Dimes 4. Now we come to the class chaplain. Rev Treadwell, as he is sometimes referred to, is truly a gentleman, a scholar, and a sloppy dresser, It ' s not his fault he comes to school half-dressed every morning it ' s his alarm clock ' s. George doesn ' t like girls, so he says, but they all like him. He gets hundreds of phone calls each night from heartbroken girls. He refuses to bend; he prefers to go out with Steve. George may be seen heading to the theater to see a show starring the famous lady-killer, P. Newman. TIMMONS LOUIS TREADWELL February 12, 1945, Memphis, Tennessee Football 2, 3, 4; Track 2- Lettermen ' s Club 3, 4; Sports- men ' s Club 4; Pep Club 4; Episcopal Young Churchmen. Tim is truly a ladies ' man. He has been heard saying that girls from the Sovereign State of Mississippi are really a lot of fun. Tim has been known to travel far and wide to charm the ladies. He is also a top fashion model (girls ' clothes only) from way back. Tim ' s loud laugh can be heard above everybody else ' s; of course, he doesn ' t know that the joke ' s on him. It ' s been said that Tim resembles a monkey; this couldn ' t be true.

It ' s bad when you have one boy from Arkansas in your class, but when you have two it ' s really bad. Johnny has set the record time from Twist, Arkansas to Aemphis-27 minutes and 32.9 sec- onds (by car). He makes it to Collierville in 17 minutes and 19.2 seconds. We couldn ' t imagine what he would want to go to Collierville for so fast unless it reminds him of home. Some people are brave but Johnny is crazy; when you agree to have the Seniors at your home for a party you have got to be nuts.

For thirteen weeks the girls of Memphis were climbing the walls because G. W. refused to take any of them out. What could you expect after the harrowing experiences with Jan and Jeanene? Greg claims that he was too busy, but we think he was just worn out. Now that Greg is at large again, we ' re afraid that a certain first grader from Idlewild School is up to her old tricks, but it looks as if she lost out to Vicky, the Zambizi Queen. Greg is the wittiest person in the class, but unfortunately for him, Mr. Hatchatt and Mr. Strand often fail to see the humor in his remarks. Greg was last seen dashing for the parking lot at 3:35.

Sloan, the hunchback of M.U.S., has many great accomplishments to his credit. He was unanimously elected leader of the Galloway Gang, was chosen as the boy with the sexiest legs at E.Y.C. Camp, and has been absent more times this year than any other senior except for Sickness Ray. Yes, if there is any sickness go- ing around he will get it. Minor injuries plague him. He was last seen going into the barber shop to have his eye-brows plucked. 46 MATTHEW RICHARD BRESCIA December 8, 1945, Chicago, Illinois Dramatics 3, 4; School Play 3, 4; Fine Arts 3, 4; Debat- ing Club 4; Pep Club 4; Front Street Jr. Co.; Shakespeare Festival 3, 4; Paper Staff 2, 3, 4, Headlines Ed. 4; Annual Staff 2; National Publications Council 3. Buddy lifted weights all summer, but much to his dismay it didn ' t help his droopy shoulders any, so he went to Florida for his health. How- ever, he nearly burned to death in a beach bon- fire, so Matty made him come home. Buddy is a great scholar in French and never has any trouble with even the hardest translation (of course, he uses une ponie). We will always re- member Buddy ' s perfect French accent which sounded like a mixture of Italian, Greek, and Cajun. Buddy was the headline editor of the Owl ' s Hoot this year and should be commended for his conscientious work. A noted hitchhiker, Greek has never driven a car. Last seen, he was 364 miles from his homeland. GERALD WILLIAM LUMM December 13, 1946, Memphis, Tennessee Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Pep Club 4; Huntinq and Fishina Club 4; Football 3. Jerry Robin Hood Lumm is truly a fantastic bow hunter. He may not ever have killed any- thing, but lack of success is no indication of his skill. Jerry can be found almost any time in Chickasaw Gardens because his car always dis- appears when he parks it in front of Linda ' s. Jerry has had other troubles with his car and was once picked up for Driving Without Insur- ance. Jer is the only senior with unlimited class cuts. How else could he get in forty-five games of 8-Ball every day? We will never forget Jer ' s interest in science because when he wasn ' t play- ing pool he was helping Mr. Smith in the lab. After hard work, Jer has finally become undis- puted demerit-receiving champion of all time at MUS. He received 75 demerits in the first two six weeks periods.

HONOR COUNCILS The Honor System is a form of student self-government which, assuming that every student is a man of absolute truthfulness and honesty, takes immediate cognizance of all violations of an accepted code of honor. The self-government is provided by the Honor Council, the student organization endowed with the responsibility of maintain- ing and preserving the spirit of the Honor System. This System prohibits lying, cheat- ing and stealing, but in a much larger sense promotes a trustfulness and honor between men which will be of invaluable assistance in later life. That the Honor System may be a working reality and not as it so often is, a mere pretense, it is essential that the whole student body be organized to enforce it, and that they accept, willingly and courageously, its heavy responsibilities. A few concrete examples of the operation of the Honor System at AA.U.S. will supple- ment and clarify the principles stated. Classrooms are free from teacher super- vision. The professor often leaves an exam- ination room with the full confidence that there will be no cheating. This trust applies not only to examinations but also to daily recitations, and outside written work. 94 (I. to r.): Vice President-Lynn, President-Piper, Advisor-Mr. Peters A visitor to the school can often see ex- pensive books and personal items lying about the campus or building left by stu- dent who knew that the property would be there when he returned. In all varsity dress- ing rooms the locked locker is an item un- heard of. A student or teacher can be sure that his equipment will always be there when he wants it. Often unlocked collection boxes are set up around the building in full confidence that no money will be taken. The Honor Council acts as an impartial court but not as a police force; that is, it does not try to discover violations of the Honor System but does not shrink from the respon- sibility of hearing cases when necessary. The members of the Honor Council are representatives of each grade chosen by their fellow classmates as exhibiting qualities of intelligence, honor, and impartiality. Since the days of the old M.U.S. in 1893, the Honor System and the Honor Council have been an inherent part of the school and we sincerely hope and believe that they will continue to be. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council at AA.U.S. plays an innportant role in the co-ordination and con- trol of student affairs. The purpose of the Student Council is to serve as a liason between the student body and the faculty. Its duties are to transmit student opinion to the Headmaster and faculty and to interpret the opinions of the faculty to the student body, to safeguard the traditions and customs of the school, to represent the stu- dents on public occasions and in every way possible to promote school spirit and further the welfare of Memphis University School. The Student Body President is President of the Student Council. The Council is com- posed of three seniors, the president of the senior class being one of the three represen- tatives, two juniors, one sophomore, one freshman, and one representative from the seventh and eighth grades combined. The Council has constitutional jurisdiction over morning chapel services; cleanliness of the halls, washrooms, cafeteria and grounds; good order in the halls; school elections; and operating the lost and found department. This year the Student Council has been in charge of the Friday Morning Chapel Seated (I. to r.): Ferguson, G. Warren, Jetton, Adams. Standing (I. to r.): D. Warren, L.

Futhermore, the Student Council has also taken an active role in an effort to curb all smoking on the school campus. In conjunction with the Pep Club, the Council has done much to improve school spirit by having bon-fires, pep rallies, and car caravans. The operation of the Student Council, whereby the students govern themselves, is of great value in promoting a spirit of self reliance, self respect, and pride. The qual- ities are of extreme importance in the devel- opment of a student at Memphis University School. (I. to r.): Mr. Everett-Advisor, Brakebill-President, T.

The eight Juniors who joined the Society in November, 1963, carried on a tradition which has existed at AAUS for eight years; the tradition of the nation-wide organization is much older. Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the greatest honors which can be achieved by a high school stu- dent. Members of the National Honor Society must exhibit excellence in every field of endeavor. The tour main fields are repre- sented on the emblem of the society, which displays a keystone and a flaming torch. The member is expected first to excel in scholarship. This excellence of scholarship is the prime requisite of the Sociey. The member must achieve and maintain an over- all average of 85. The second quality indi- cated on the keystone is Character. A per- son has a good, strong character through will power. Character is our guiding force through life and it is a strong, well directed character which gives greatness to men. The Back Row: Johnson, Nickey, Keirns, Hufton, Woods, Varner, Allen. First row: Warren, Moore, Ray, Young, Dando, Klyce. third quality is Leadership. Leadership is not just an outgrowth of a vigorous person- ality. In its highest sense it proceeds from unselfish motives and from a strong char- acter. A strong and at the same time humble character is necessary in the leaders of to- morrow. Scholarship, Character, and Leader- ship would be incomplete without Service. To attain the fullest life one cannot live for himself alone. It is in serving the community and the world that the greatest expression of character and individuality is achieved. In a leader there is no place for greed, self- interest, or selfish ambition. By encouraging these ideals the National Honor Society hopes to help develop strong, well educated leaders who still rise above the times and earnestly serve in tomorrow ' s world. (I. to r.): President- Long, Advisor-Mr. AAorelock SOCIAL COMMITTEE The members of the Social Committee are elected fropn each homeroom. This organ- ization is in charge of the school dances and other social activities. This year the Social Committee has contributed a great deal of time and energy to plan these functions. They secured the entertainment and refreshments, put up the decorations, and even raised the funds for the dances. The first endeavor of the present members of the Social Committee was the Senior- Junior Graduation Dance in May of 1963, held in the Foyer and Court Yard of the school. The dance featured a tropical motif. The entrance hall was made more intimate by a false bamboo and leaf ceiling, carved polynesian gods, and netting. The main dancing area also had a lowered bamboo ceiling laced with crepe paper. The band- stand was surrounded by bamboo curtains, fish nets, and tropical plants. The walls were covered with hanging nets, sea-shells, and Japanese fishing floats. Tables were situated in the courtyard which was dotted with numerous stone figurines illuminated by colored lights. In the center of the courtyard was a huge stone buddah with water spraying in a fountain from his head. Other lighting was provided by tiki-torches. En- tertainment was provided by Willie Mitchell and the Four Kings, and the highlight of the evening was the senior class lead-out after which most of the seniors left for their breakfast at Bart Turner ' s.

AAimi Weems was crowned Homecoming Queen at half-time of the football game Friday night. Members of the court were Peggy Bowen, Sally Gibson, Gail Taylor, and Charmian Place. Saturday night Queen AAimi reigned over the Homecoming Dance. Everyone thought it was a swingin ' party as they danced to the music(?) of the Bel-Tones. All in all it was a very successful first Homecoming. For the Mid-Winter Formal the Clack Dining Hall was decorated with a Valentine theme. Couples entered the exquisitely lighted room through a mammoth heart. The walls, tables, bandstand, and refreshment table were covered with red hearts, and the ceiling was lowered by a canopy of red and white crepe paper. The Counts provided the music which was supplemented by the Folk Singing Group. The festivities were ended by a breakfast at Jim Kierns ' house. Yea! Jim! The last social activity of the Class of ' 64 was the Senior-Junior Dance. For this final party the Foyer and Court Yard were transformed into a Paris Sidewalk Cafe. Paris sights at the party included an Arc de Triomphe and an Eiffel Tower. The good atmos- phere and good band made it a big success, and another group of seniors left the dance after the lead-out to places unknown.

ENGINEER ' S CLUB The Engineer ' s Club, under the direction of Mr. Everett, studied several fields which were of inter- est to future engineers. One section of the club learned the rudiments of mechanical drawing while the other section worked with the more involved operations of the slide rule. They took trips to various factories and industries and also heard talks by prominent local engineers. The purpose of the Engineer ' s Club was to help students decide if they would like to study engineering in college and to benefit those who did. 105 Back Row: Hill, Lee, Roberts, Woods, Brown, Montgomery, McCrory— Pres ident, Mr. Blair.

The Red Cross holds weekly meetings at the school and also sends dele- gates to the monthly meetings of the city-wide High School Red Cross Council. It is the responsibility of the Red Cross to take up donations from the students and enroll the donors. Along with the regular donations, AAUS has other activities, one of which is the preparation of an album which tells the story of our school life. This album will be sent to a Spanish speaking country in South America, and AAUS will receive one in return. The purpose of the Red Cross is to teach concern for others and responsibility in the community. 106 ■ v.V Hy B ny fj m MM H| | | H| H r k 1 R c tf f fr ' k ■f Top Row; Piper, Stratton, Brescia, Warren, Olsen, C.

FINE ARTS CLUB During its second year, the Fine Arts Club, under the di- rection of Mr. Morelock, has discussed operas, ranging from La Traviata to Don Giovanni , which was direct- ed by Mr. Morelock. Selec- tions of classical music such as Don Quixote , Schu- mann ' s Concerto in A Minor for Piano, and Beethoven ' s Sixth Symphony were pre- sented. They studied the styles and techniques of painting of vari- ous great artists. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB The Public Speaking and Debating Club was begun last year and was carried on this year by Mr. Mills. In the Monday meetings, the mem- bers had friendly debates in currently controversial topics. By having these discussions the members learned the fun- damentals of public speaking. (I. to r.) Cox, Jones, Craft, Smith, Warren, Shelton, Oliver, Berg, Mr. Mills. 107 LIBRARY COMMITTEE With the growth of our library, the responsibility of the library committee has also grown. These boys were carefully chosen to rep- resent the student body in library affairs. They act as proctors, make suggestions for improvements, and aid Mr. Hansand in any way possible. The librarians help any student find information in the li- brary to make sure that each per- son receives the greatest benefit from the time he spends there. (I. fo r.)

Club meet- ings, which v ere held each Monday, were highlighted by talks and demonstrations from one or more members. The v eekly programs con- sisted of a film, lecture, and an experiment. In addition to weekly meetings, the club made numerous field trips. ASTRONOMY CLUB The Astronomy Club was established to encourage in- terest and participation in astronomy and to teach the members about the universe. All members learned about the telescope and are now adept at its use. Night ob- servations were made about twice per month. The club members used their practical knowledge in building a tele- scope. Mr. Bennett, Winters, Jones, Anderson, Romeiser, McNeil, Smith. 109 ELECTRONICS CLUB The Electronics Club, one of last year ' s new clubs, was in- stituted by Mr. Edwards and is under the direction of Mr. Smith this year. Some of the new members progressed from basic electricity kits to short-wave radios, walkie- talkies, and intercoms. The experienced members learned more about the theory of elec- tronics, and they helped the less experienced boys with their particular problems.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The members of the Photography Club this year were veterans from last year, so, consequent- ly, they had more time to study advanced photo- graphic techniques. Monday meetings were highlighted by outside speakers, discussions, and films. During the week, the members often took pictures of athletic events and student life which ap- peared in the annual and the newspaper. The mem- bers of the club did their own developing, printing, and enlarging. Keirns, R. Sneed, J.

DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club, a newly organized club at AAUS, was responsible for the first dra- matic production at the school for several years. Last year, the club produced a French play, La Cuisine des Anges or My Three Angels , which was directed by Mr. Morelock. The club took complete control of the play, with lighting, sets, costumes, and props all provided by the members. The Dramatics Club also furnished the actors, who did a splendid job. This year the boys will present another play which had not been announced at the time of annual publication. Aside from producing the school play, the members of the club work daily in the mid-morning chapel service operating the lights and microphones. This year, the club took the task of presenting a play in which the younger students participated. This show was planned to be a short, one act play which would give some of the younger students an opportunity to display their dramatic talents. Finally, the club has not only produced fine actors for the school plays, but has also sent some of its better actors to the local Front Street Theater where several of the sen- iors took active parts in the productions of such plays as Bye Bye Birdie , Annie Get Your Gun , Beauty and the Beast , and Jack and the Beanstalk .

FOLK SINGING The Folk Singing Club was organized this year by Tom Shearon and Greg Warren. The boys have worked hard and have been very successful. After only a few practices, the group won the Four Seasons Talent show in competition with 26 acts. Shortly there- after the boys were invited to entertain the Memphis Civic Ballet Society at Brooks Art Gallery. The boys were well received with their repertoire ranging from an instrumental version of Greensleeves to a medieval Latin chant Dona Nobis Pacem . The group ' s last scheduled appearance before the Christmas holidays was a performance in chapel. They had several invitations to play during Christmas but had to turn them down be- cause several members were out of town. Although the club was new and a little green, enthusiasm ran high. Bigger and better things can be expected for the club; not only have the boys en- joyed This group, but also they have gained valuable experience in performing before a live audience. 112 -w On Goal Post: Hutton, Galbreath, Klyce, Varner-Pres., Robinson, Montgomery, McBurney, Kenna.

PEP CLUB This year, for the first time at M.U.S. a pep club was organized for the promotion of school spirit at pep rallies, football games, and other functions that contribute to greater interest in the school. The club has done a great job. It has also worked on many other worthy projects; among these are bon fires, pep rallies, the first junior-senior and student-faculty football games, decorating of goal posts, and car caravans to foot- ball and basketball games. Because school spirit is something that is needed at MUS, the Pep Club ' s efforts could have been supported with greater enthusiasm on the part of the whole student body. This would surely have led to a deeper and more rewarding sense of loyalty to MUS. 113 v . im £7 j ' • fcmL- y fe y j. jj ' i rf 2 -|lK- i tl 1  - ' A. mi tJi Pictured: Mayfield, Fulmer, Klyce, Lumm, Mann, Dogrell, Robinson, Jetton, Quinlen, Moore, Keltner, McKee, Heppel, Walton, Spear, Lumn Humphreys, Haizlip, Hutton, Wills, Bosworth, Brakebill, Treadwell, Minkin, Towney, Canon, Marsh, Taylor, Adams, Jemison, Kennia, McBurney, Wunde lich, Lawson, Donelson.

Organized last year by Scotty Heppel, Wilson Sneed, anc Steve Keltner, the club discussed guns and the bow and arrow. Several excursions, under the direction of the noted hunter Bwana Sullivan, were planned. Each week a talk was presented by a member of the club. The Hunting and Fishing Club helped to provide food for Tayra, the MUS mascot. (I. to r.) Mr. Sulfivan, Advisor, Rusty Walton, President. Front Row: Gillespie, Ferguson, Piper, Lawson, Brakebill, T.

Other bits of knowledge were learned in bull sessions on top ics ranging from general science tc mapmaking. Bruce Minkin lead the discussions in a very able manner. On most Mondays, the club tool hikes or field trips looking for fossils and interesting rock formations. The club took an interesting and informa- tive weekend excursion to Pickwick Lake in February. OFFICE STAFF The office staff this year continued to take the respon- sibilities of helping Mr. Strand and Miss Easum with the daily work of school life. As in the past, these boys were chosen for their dependability and perseverance. During the day the boys pick up absentee slips and check irregularities. They also ran errands for the secretar- ies. The boys should be thank- ed for sacrificing their study hall time to help the school. FiVsf Row: Miss Easum, Clingy, Stevens, W. Brown, May, James, S. Jones, Carrier.

CAFETERIA STAFF This year the lunchroom was under the new direction of Mr. Patterson, but still un- der the careful guidance of Coach Bland. Coach is seen daily controlling the food consumption of three hundred and six boys, and at the same time, his own. Julia, Mat- tie, and Gertie work to make our meals pleasant, and also manage to sneak hamburg- ers for the seniors while Mrs. S and Coach aren ' t looking. Roosevelt, Willie, and Robert, all long time members of the custodial staff, keep the grounds and buildings neat. Finally, George Mabry and Mrs. Harry Soldan are the managers of the cafeteria. Mrs. Soldan, for many years the dietician, is loved by all the students, who from time to time tease her about the steaks we have every Tuesday and ' Thursday. George Mabry, the new maintenance engineer, has done more than his share to contribute to the suc- cessful operation of the school. 117 Athletics - i ♦ VARSITY FOOTBALL The MUS Varsity team this year traveled to Horseshoe Lake in August for a week of training camp. There they prepared mentally and physically for one of the hardest sea- sons in MUS history. Coaches Rudolph and Thorn instituted a new offense centered around the successful I formation. At the beginning of the season it looked like the Owls were going to have a fine season due to the great spirit of the boys. The Owl ' s opener against the Tigers of Whitehaven proved to be the toughest game of the season. Whitehaven, state-ranked in the top ten, outweighed AA.U.S. consider- ably, but the determined Owls wanted the game badly. However, our chances were spoiled by four key injuries and White- haven ' s capitalizing on early mistakes. Trow Gillespie, Rick Ferguson, Pete Whittington, and Tim Treadwell were all sidelined with injuries in the first half. White- haven recovered a fumbled punt attempt early in the game and went on to score. After a long run both for touchdowns, the Tigers setted back with a comfortable 20-0 lead at halftime. After a third-quarter Tiger score, a stub- born AA.U.S. eleven scored on an inspired drive. Tommy Thompson filling in for in- jured Gillespie, passed to sustain the drive. Frank Tenent plunged over from the two yard line for the touchdown and then kicked the extra point. Whitehaven added another touchdown to make the final score 34-7. Still suffering from the previous game ' s injuries, the Owls rode to Westwood in hopes of a vidory. However, the game was strictly a defensive contest, ending in 0-0 draw. The Owls received the opening kickoff. On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Tommy Thompson suffered a serious wrist injury that put him out of action for the rest of the season. Fullback Frank Tenent took over the controls but wasn ' t able to lead the Owls over the goal line. In the second quarter we moved the ball down near the Westerners ' end zone but were unable to score. Later, a great run by Tenent was called back by a clipping penalty. Steve Minkin and AAacKee were defensive standouts as always during the season. The Owls finally entered the win column at the first home game against the Harding Academy Lions. An outstanding offense, along with the return of Rick Ferguson and Trow Gillespie, was the deciding factor in the ball game. The Owls drew first blood as they took the opening kickoff and scored four downs later on a 25 yard run by Tim Treadwell. AA.U.S. showed no mercy through- out the rest of the game, adding 21 points in the second quarter and 17 points in the second half. Trow Gillespie, Kent Wunder- lich, Frank Tenent, and Tim Treadwell each got touchdowns. Outstanding efforts were made by Kent Wunderlich, who made a sen- sational 67 yard interception and run for a TD, and Steve AAinkin, who lead the defense in shutting out the Lions. Frank the Foot Tenent showed his great kicking ability with five extra points and a twenty yard field goal. The final score was 44-0. The Kingsbury game showed that AA.U.S. could hold its own against the stronger city teams, but a few untimely mishaps destroyed our chances for a well-deserved victory. The Owls had a great deal of trouble containing the great running of AII-AAemphis Falcon Terry Padgett. Early in the game our 120 First Row: Gillespie, Lawson, Tenant, Brakebil, Petree, Ferguson.

The second Owl score came in the second period with a spectacular 25 yard pass play from Trow Gillespie to Sandy Lynn. Lynn stretched above all defenders to make one of the best catches ever seen at M.U.S.; however, a missed extra point proved to be costly later on in the game. Kingsbury fought back in the second half to lead 41-13. The Owls took the ball and drove to the Falcon twenty, only to lose the ball on an interception. Tom Woods sparked the team with a timely fumble recovery. A great passing attack pushed the ball up to the Kingsbury eight yard line where a last minute field goal attempt by Frank Tenent was blocked. Although we were on the short end of a 14-13 score, it was our best per- formance thus far. The Owl ' s found little trouble handling the Red Devils of Germantown, as we beat them 35-0. Scoring honors were shared by quarterback Trow Gillespie and half- back Kent Wunderlich, each with two touch- downs. Gillespie raced over from the ten and later plunged through from the one yard line. Wunderlich scored first on a five yard sprint, then on a 35 yard pass play from Frank Tenent. Pete Whitington did some hard running to add the fifth touch- down of the game. Frank Tenent converted 121 all of the extra point attempts to make the final score 35-0. Our gridmen took the field against Oak- haven, in our first homecoming game. Oakhaven took the kickoff, but found the Owl defense impenetrable. They punted, but the ball was fumbled in the end zone and our receiver tackled for an Oakhaven safety. Later, Trow Gillespie intercepted an Oak- haven pass to give us the ball deep in their territory. After Jim Lawson caught a rollout pass for good yardage, Gillespie ran over for the touchdown. The extra point was no good and the Owls led at the half, 6-2. Kicking off to Oakhaven, Frank Tenent boomed one out of the end zone. After an Oakhaven punt Jim Lawson made a great run to make our second touchdown. Later, Trow Gillespie intercepted a pass and brought the ball down to the Oakhaven five yard line; but a clipping penalty nullified the run. Another scoring threat came when Pete Whittington and Mac McGee combined efforts to jar the ball loose from an Oak- haven carrier and recover the fumble. But Oakhaven retaliated with an interception. The second half saw big Pete Whittington display his rushing talents and Mac McKee play outstanding defense. The Hawks finally scored to end the game with a 13-9 M.U.S. victory. Probably the worst game of the year was that against defending county champs, Mill- ington. The Owls first got their hands on the ball, great runs by Kent Wunderlich started an M.U.S. offensive; but the Trojans recovered a fumble and soon scored on a 60 yard run. The Owls got their revenge later when Trow Gillespie threw to the weak side to Kent Wunderlich for a 25 yard scoring play. However the extra point attempt was blocked. Neither team could score in the third quarter; then the Trojans connected on a jump pass in the fourth quarter for their final touchdown to ice the game. The final score was 14-6. The Bartlett game proved to be one of the hardest hitting games of the season. It was one of our best all-around efforts of the year. The Panthers took the opening kickoff and pushed all the way into the end zone for an early touchdown. The defense blocked the extra point. Later on, an M.U.S. drive was started, led by Kent Wunderlich ' s running and Jim Lawson ' s pass catching. The drive was capped by a tremendous touch- down run by determined fullback, Pete Whittington. Frank Tenent booted the extra point to put us ahead, 7-6. Jim Jetton was the defensive standout in the half. The second half presented tremendous effort led by Steve Minken and Mac McKee. The Owls fought desperately to hang on to their one point lead, but a fumbled punt recep- tion late in the fourth quarter put Bartlett on the move. The Panthers ended their drive with a three yard touchdown plunge to make the final score 13-7 in their favor. The Owls traveled to Collierville for their last county game of the season. The oppon- ents were rough and so was the field, but our offense clicked to run up 27 points. Tak- 122 ing the opening kickoff, the Ov ls marched 73 yards for their first score on a one yard plunge by Wunderlich. After stopping a Collien ille drive that ended on the M.U.S. six yard line, the Owls took the offensive, and with time running out in the first half, scored on a beautiful screen pass to Wunder- lich. The first half ended with M.U.S. on the winning end of a 13-0 score. In the second half the Dragons bounced back to make the score 1 3-6. But due to tough defensive efforts by AAcKee, Quinlen, Jetton and Fer- guson, the Dragons had scored their last point. Later in the game, hard-charging Pete Whitington, made two spectacular runs, both for TD ' s. Frank Tenent kicked three out of four extra points to make the final score 27-6. The M.U.S. football season came to a successful climax with the battle against White Station. Both the players and Coaches Rudolph and Thorn put a great deal of time and effort into preparing for this traditional rivalry. Never has a more inspired M.U.S. team taken the field. Faced with much lar- ger opponents, the scrappy Owls fought to a 1-7 draw. In view of this tremendous effort, this game was one of the greatest victories in M.U.S. history. White Station took the opening kickoff and drove to the M.U.S. ten yard line where the M.U.S. forward wall held their ground and stopped the drive. The offense didn ' t get moving and we had to give up the foot- ball. However, Kent Wunderlich spoiled the Spartan ' s drive by an interception and a long run that put us deep in enemy territory. Three plays later Kent took the ball over for the score. Frank Tenent booted the extra point to make the score 7-0 in favor of the Owls. Throughout the rest of the game the Owl defense refused to let White Station in their territory. However, a bad break came in the third quarter when White Station re- covered a fumbled punt attempt and ran it in for the score. The extra point was made to tie the score at 7-7 . The end of the game saw a long White Station drive stopped by a Trow Gillespie interception.

Many school records, among them a 24-2 record and a 19 game winning streak, were set during the season. Some of the Prep League powers such as Kings- bury, Tech, and Messick scrimmaged with AAUS and were defeated. AAUS opened its season against arch-rival White Station. The Owls blew a first half lead and a tremendous second half effort was needed to tie the game and send it into overtime. AAUS scored on four foul shots to win the game 88-80. Thompson and Gil- lespie starred with 24 and 21 points respec- tively. Southside played AAUS next and was crushed 88-46. AAUS completely dominated the game, as Southside was never in the contest. High scorers were Thompson with 28 and Long with 22. In their first big game of the season AAUS played defending County League cham- pions, Whitehaven. Long, Whitington, and Thompson dominated the backboards and led a fine defense which committed only five fouls. Long, with 24 points, Thompson with 19, and Gillespie with 10 led the of- fense which outscored Whitehaven 67-54. AAUS continued their winning ways with a 92-62 romp over Collierville. After a slug- gish start, the Owls ran the AAaroons off the court. High scorers were Thompson, Gilles- pie, and Long with 21 . AAUS marched on with an 86-45 victory over Harding. A stall failed to stop the Owls. Double figure scorers were Thompson with 19, AAoore with 12, Gillespie with 11, and Young with 10. Germantown handed AAUS their first de- feat of the season 69-64. Germantown dom- inated the boards to push AAUS far behind. A late rally fell short. Scoring was led by Thompson with 22, Long with 19, and Gil- lespie with 17. AAUS returned to winning ways with a 66-45 victory over Prep League member Westside. Although the offense was sluggish the game was never in doubt. Thompson with 21, Long and Gillespie with 10 led the scorers. South Side fell to AAUS 83-56 in the first game of the Christmas Holidays. MUS com- pletely dominated the game. A balanced scoring attack was led by Young and Gilles- pie with 14, Whitington with 13, and Thompson with 1 1 . In the first game of the Whitehaven In- vitational Tournament, AAUS revenged its only defeat with a 75-64 victory over Ger- mantown. MUS reversed procedure, and dominated the boards against Germantown. A last quarter roily by Germantown failed. High scorers were Thompson with 27, Gil- lespie with 18, and Long and Whitington with 12. AAessick was the next victim of the Owls, 69-44. AAessick was completely outclassed as the Owls dominated all phases of the game. Leading scorers were Thompson with 21, Gillespie, 1 3, and Long 1 1 . AAUS continued to sweep through the tournament with a 65-54 victory over host Whitehaven. The game was a fight all the way with AAUS pulling away in the last quarter. It marked the first Firstplace trophy ever for a Patterson coached high-school squad. Leading the scoring were most val- uable player Thompson with 28, All-Tour- nament player Gillespie with 12 and Long with 1 3. AAUS outclassed Westwood 68-45 in the next game. After holding a seven point at halftime AAUS pulled away in the second half. High scorers were Thompson with 23, Long, 19, and Gillespie, 10. Oakhaven stalled the ball the entire game to hold the Owls to a 41-23 victory. Gilles- pie with 16 and Thompson with 12 led the scorers. AAillington had figured to be a tough op- ponent for AAUS. At the end of the first quarter, the score was tied. The Owls, led by Tommy Thompson broke the game wide open to win 92-59. A balanced scoring was led by Thompson with 30, followed by Gil- lespie with 20, and Whitington and Cannon with 10. The next game was a big one. Both AAUS and Bartlett were tied for first place going into the game. The game was quite tight through the first three quarters with Bartlett holding a three point lead going into the final quarter. Led by Thompson and Gilles- pie, the Owls pulled away in the final quar- ter to win 71-55. High scorers were Thomp- son with 28, Gillespie, 22, and Cannon, 12. AAUS travelled to Whitehaven for what fig- ured to be a tough game. With just three minutes left, AAUS trailed by seven points. A tremendous effort pulled it out in the final seconds, as AAUS won 53-51 to remain first place in the county. Scoring was led by by Thompson with 20 and Gillespie with 1 6. In a terrific offensive display, AAUS crushed Collierville 113-55. AAUS never trailed, and efforts to hold the score down failed. Tom- my Thompson set a new school record with 40 points. Other high scorers were Gillespie with 23 and Cannon with 1 2. Germantown had been the only team to defeat the Owls, but AAUS tore into them with a vengeance. After trailing 12-10 at the end of the first quarter, the Owls poured it in to win 90-35. High scorers were Thomp- son with 20, Gillespie, 17, and Long 16. AAUS continued its winning ways with a 79-46 romp over Harding Academy. Hard- ing ' s slow-down tactics failed to halt the Owl ' s scoring which was led by Thompson with 22, Whitington with 17, and Cannon with 12. 129 Continuing their impressive show, AAUS romped over Westwood 71-29. A new de- fense completely snuffed out Westwood ' s leading scorers. Gillespie led scoring with 19 followed by Thompson with 11. AAUS threw its high-powered offense into high gear in a 99-76 rout of Bolton. Bolton stayed relatively close the first half, but fell back as the game progressed. Fouls played a big part in the game, as three Bolton players fouled out. Scorers were Thompson with 31, Long, 24 Whitington, 21, and Gil- lespie, 15. In their sixth 90-plus victory, AAUS beat Oakhaven 92-51 . A stall by Oakhaven failed to slow the Owls, as Sloan Young ' s three quick baskets put the game out of reach. Double figure scorers were Thompson with 18, Long, 17, Gillespie, 15, Young, 14, and Whitington, 10. Millington failed to halt the high-flying Owls, as AAUS clobbered AAillington 92-47. AAUS stole the ball several times and ran the game during the second half. Scoring was led by Young with 25, Gillespie, 19, Thomp- son, 16, Whitington, 13, and Long, 1 1. This game clinched AA.U.S. their first undisputed county championship. In the final game of the regular season, M.U.S. ran over Bartlett 97-70. After a tight first quarter, AA.U.S. raced to a 14 point lead, and continued high scoring mounted the final margin. High scorers were Thompson with 27, Gillespie— 23, Long— 14, Young— 12, and Cannon— 1 1 . For the second straight year, AA.U.S. lost their first game of the tournament. An in- spired Westwood edged the Owls in a last second shot, 36-35. The leading scorers were Gillespie and Thompson with 13 points each. The game was a supreme disappointment, but AA.U.S. still enjoyed the finest season with a final record of 24-1. In the final UPI poll, the Owls were ranked ninth in the state. In spite of the loss to Westwood in the last game of the season, the 1 964 Owls were the most successful in the history of the school. In addition to winning the County League championship, the team was ranked among the top twenty teams in the state for the entire season, and managed to get among the top ten teams twice, being ranked eighth and ninth on two different occasions. This was the first time an AAUS team has ranked this high. Besides these rankings, AAUS received much favorable publicity in the two AAemphis newspapers. Charles Cavag- naro of the Commercial Appeal devoted a whole column to AAUS. Among other praises, he said, This is probably the best shooting team in the area . . . hitting over 50% for the season. Bob Pigue, Press Scimitar sports writer, also gave the School ' s basketball team praises. He said that this year we had built a basketball dynasty at AAUS, with all three of our teams winning their league championships and all three teams losing only three games during the whole season. Bobby Hall, also of the Commercial Appeal, called us a young and talented team. He told the school ' s history, praising it highly, and also giving favorable publicity to Coach Patterson ' s basketball clinic. For the first time in its history, AAUS made the rest of AAemphis take notice of its fine athletic programs. 131 STATISTICS Player F.C ;. F.T.A. F.I.N . 9c G.P. F. l.P. P.P.G.

B TEAM BASKETBALL This year the AA.U.S. B team compiled the finest record of any B team in the history of the school, posting twenty-one wins and no defeats. It marked the first time that any B team basketball squad had ever enjoyed a perfect season. The boys who composed Coach Rudolph ' s undefeated team were jun- iors Ray Larson, Rick Ferguson, Al Varner, and Jim Lawson and sophomores Kent Wun- derlich, Hal Rhea, Hank Hill, Johnny Adams, Stoy Brown, Ried Schadt, George Stratton, and Bruce Smith. The starters were Larson, Wunderlich, Ferguson, Varner, and Rhea. On November 26, the Owls opened the season against arch-rival White Station on the Spartan ' s court. Due to the lack of prac- 133 tice by both teams, the play was rather er- ratic. M.U.S. triumphed, 48-32. The next game against Whitehaven at M.U.S. was the first county league contest. Playing well, the team whipped the Tigers 38-30 to overcome their first major obstacle, in the following contest, Collierville offered little resistance on the Dragon ' s court and were losing 40- 10 in the last quarter. Then the sophomore subs took over and the Owls won easily, 52-18. On Friday the thirteenth of Decem- ber, Coach Rudolph ' s squad jinxedthe Hard- ing quintet and won a grudge game, 52- 33. The victory was sweet revenge for a one point loss last season to the Lions. The next game proved to be tougher than expected and the Owls had to put on a fourth quarter surge to beat Germantown 55-35. The Red Devils led until late in the third period. Dur- Larson about fo grab a rebound. ing the Christmas holidays, the team played two non-league games against West-Side and South-Side. The Wildcat ' s poor ball handling cost them dearly as they went down by the score 48- 23. The Scrappers put up a tough fight, though, but because MUS got hot, the Owls won handily, 62-25. The B-team started off the new year suc- cessfully by defeating Westwood, 41-28, on January 3, 1964. Despite the long holiday layoff the team shot well and took command of the contest from the start. The next game saw the Owls beat a tough Bolton crew, 51- 32. The win was largely due to Varner who hit 7 of 8 jumpers from the field. Then came the Oakhaven team, a very tenacious de- fensive team and one of the best quintets in the county. But MUS rose to the occasion and relying on foul shots in the last quarter, defeated the Hawks, 30-24. At Millington the Owls were forded into overtime to win 39-35, and though they had played poorly, they led by two points with less than a min- ute to play. Then a crucial steal by one of the Trojans led to a basket as time ran out, and it took a great team effort in the extra three minutes to pull the game out of the fire. To close out the first half of league play MUS nipped Bartlett, 46-37, on the MUS court. The second round of league games began at Whitehaven where the B-team squeezed past the Tigers, 32-31. The game was close all the way and it was the second time in two years that MUS had won by one point on the Tiger ' s court. The winning point was contributed on a foul shot by Kent Wunder- lich with four seconds left. Then, as usual, Collierville played poorly and fell 45-27 at MUS. This game preceded the Varsity ' s rec- ord-breaking 1 1 3-55 win. Next a tough Harding squad traveled to MUS and played a surprisingly good game before losing 28- 25. But the game was not as close as it sounds for the Lions managed to cut the lead only late in the last period when the outcome was already certain. AAUS began February, the last month of the basketball season, by crushing Germantown, 51-22, on the Red Devil ' s home court. The Owls out- classed their opponents so greatly that Coach Rudolph cleared the bench early in the last quarter. The Devil ' s poor showing was rather shocking compared to their excellent play in the first game. Next, the Westerners of West- wood journeyed to AAUS and lost, 47-26, in a game characterized by very rough play on the part of the visitors. Then the B-team traveled to Bolton for a crucial meeting with the Wildcats. Due to outstanding perform- ances by each member of the squad, the team won handily, 49-26, over one of the league ' s top quintets, and the victory should be especially noted because Bolton is known to be almost impossible to beat at home. With their record standing at 18-0, the Owls entered the most important contest of the year against Oakhaven, probably the second best B-team in the county. Despite the fact that seven of the Hawk ' s varsity boys were moved down for this game, AAUS triumphed by a wide margin, 58-39, because of Ray Larson ' s season high of 26 points. In com- mon with most other defense minded clubs, Oakhaven fouled a lot and the Owls capi- talized on this by sinking a large percentage of their free throws. Next on the schedule was AAillington, the team that had come clos- est to beating AAUS all year. As with German- town, this second encounter seemed to turn the tables, and Coach Rudolph ' s squad dom- inated the play from the beginning. The final score was 52-26, and this set the stage for the important last game with Bartlett. Needing only one game to close out a per- fect season, the Owls, with a few butter- flies in their stomachs went into their must contest on the Panther ' s court. The game was nip and tuck for three quarters, but the last 135 period saw the team put on a surge to win 53-42. This Bartlett crew was better than the one AAUS had played earlier because their big center, who usually played two quarters on the B-team and two quarters on the var- sity, played the entire four periods in the B-team contest. In Memphis and Shelby County, an area of highly competitive basketball, it is very seldom that a team on the high school level finishes the season with a spotless record. And though a few clubs go undefeated in their leagues, they almost always lose at least one game sometime during the season. This year the only undefeated high school basketball team in all of Shelby County was the AAUS B-team with a 21-0 record. Coach Rudolph and all his players are heartily con- gratulated on this phenomenal accomplish- ment and the annual wishes them the best of luck in their basketball futures. Our only regret is that because B-teams are meant only to provide experience for future varsity players, the league did not provide a B-team tournament for AAUS to win.

TRACK Last season, the AA.U.S. Varsity track team experienced its best season in the history of the school. This was due to the great increase of interest that has been. cultivated in the sport by Coach Jerry Peters. In the county meet, AA.U.S. finished fourth, with Richard Catling winning the shot, Pierce Jones win- ning the high hurdles, and fourth in the 220, Edwin Hussey finishing third in the 220, and Bart Turner finishing second in the mile run. Richard Gatling advanced to the State meet, and won fourth place in the shot put with a fine 49 foot effort. Jones, Gatling, and Kenna participated in various meets during the summer. This year, in addition to the regular county schedule, the track team will compete in the Jaycee Track Carnival, the Memphis Relays, the Ripiey Relays, and the Nashville Opti- mist Meet. Also, the team will journey to Nashville for a dual meet with Battleground Academy. The team should be much strong- er this year. Under the superb instruction of Coach Peters, the track team will be a strong contender for the county championships, and several boys will probably reach the ultimate, the State Meet in Knoxville. 138 ' Qm ' zM.

GOLF TEAM The 1 963 AA.U.S. golf team was composed of junior Barham Ray, sophomores John Nickey, Fred Hooper, Andy Allen, and Louis Johnson, as well as fresnmen Jim Sorrels, Dwight Drinkard, and Reid Schadt. The Owl golfers competed in the Shelby County Golf League and finished the season with a per- fect record. The foursome of John Nickey, Barham Ray, Andy Allen, and Fred Hooper recorded 1 8-0 shut-outs of Oakhaven, Col- lierville, and Germantown, and handily de- feated Millington 14-4 and Whitehaven ir 2-61 2. The Owls also captured the 36 hole stroke play county tournament, finish- 140 ing 9 strokes better than second place White- haven. After this, the team competed in the regional tournament, and Nickey and Allen qualified for the state tournament. None of these boys finished very high in the state tournament but plan to return to Nashville in June this year. The team was very ably coached by Jake Randolph, who also spent a lot of time organizing and running the County Golf League in operation for the first year. Prospects are bright for this year as four out of five lettermen are returning. Besides playing in the same competitions as last year, the team went to Chattanooga in April and competed in the Rotary Southern Inter- scholastic Tournament.

TENNIS TEAM The Memphis University School Tennis Teann had a very fine season in 1963. Al Varner, Thurston Moore, Gary McCrory, and Dunlap Cannon made a good showing in the Southern Interscholastic Tennis Tourna- ment, although none of them made it to the finals. Kennett, Missouri, visited M.U.S. for a match last year, and M.U.S. won 7-2. Later in the season, Kennett sponsored an eight- team invitational tournament. Al Varner, Thurston Moore, and Gary McCrory repre- sented M.U.S., and they captured team hon- ors by not losing a single match as Varner won the singles, and Moore paired with Mc- Crory to win the doubles title. M.U.S. did not compete in the Prep League last year, although they had some non-league matches with prep teams. The Owls were looking forward to a great season this year with all lettermen returning, and they had one of the best teams in West Tennessee. Also, the Owls have many promising younger players in the lower grades who will provide mater- ial for teams in the future. 141 First Row, L.-R.: Burg, Roop, Taylor, Snowden, O ' neal, Miller.

SWIMMING TEAM This year the AAUS Swim team, under Mr. Blair, braved six months of long afternoon practices filled with many strenuous exercises and also a thirty minute per week practice at the Y pool. Despite the handicap that most of the members were young, the AAUS Swim team won three of five meets, in which they were pitted against other teams com- posed of mostly juniors and seniors. A lot of credit should be given to these boys be- cause, even though they made a phenom- enal showing for themselves, their efforts were hardly ever recognized by the student body. With all of the members returning we should expect great things from these boys next year. 142 JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL This year, the Junior High Football team, determined to get the jump on the other county league teams started practice on Au- gust 15. For the first few days running and tough conditioning exercises were in order. On September twelfth, the team played a tough Germantown team on the home grid- iron. Early in the first quarter AA.U.S. recov- ered a fumble and marched 65 yards for the first touchdown of the season. The team scored again in the second quarter, but then Germantown retaliated with a touchdown on the last play of the first half. They put an- other one over in the second to defeat the junior high 14-13. The highlights were AAc- Rae ' s passing and Walter Sprunt ' s commend- able offensive and defensive play. Then on the nineteenth the Baby Owls played at Millington and were overpowered by a hard-hitting team in a 20-7 game which was the worst loss of the season. Millington marched down the field for a touchdown after the opening kickoff. In the second quarter Malcom AAcRae crashed two yards to put AA.U.S. on the scoreboard. AAillington dominated the field in the second half and the junior high lost a hard fought game. In the following game with Westwood a keyed up Baby Owl team conquered the Westerners although the AAUS first string quarterback was out. The score was 7-6. In the first quarter AAalcom AAcRae scored from the 17. Then AAike Taylor came in as quarterback and played a very admirable game. A seventh grader, Weber Laughlin should also be commended for his fine play. The Westerners put one across, but were stopped by a solid line in the extra point try. A great defensive effort on the part of the Baby Owls accounted for the victory. Front Row (I to r): B. Davis, T. Robinson, Ogle, W. West, Donelson, Alissandratos, Ferguson, H. Cannon.

The beautiful passing of Malcom McRae and the receiving of Bill Bryce accounted for two of the touchdowns. Steve Bain burned around the end to score two touchdowns. Walter Sprunt accounted for the other score. Good defense play held the Dragons to only one touchdown. In the next game, which was probably the best effort of the season, the Baby Owls overcame a strongly favored Hillcrest team in an excellent offensive and defensive effort that resulted in a 20-13 score. In the first quarter, the team was forced to punt. Thanks to his speed and the inability of the Hillcrest receiver to hold ' the ball, Donald Mann made a spectacular fumble recovery that led to the first score of the game. At the end of the half MUS led 1 3-0. A determined Hillcrest team came out on the field and scored twice in the second half. McRae sneaked over from the one to complete the MUS scoring. McRae, Dunavant, and Bain all played a fine offensive game. Bobby Davis, Donald Mann, and Mike Harris formed the backbone of the line. In a hard nosed defensive battle the Baby Owls lost a close one to the league cham- pions, Whitehaven. The only scoring oc- curred in the second quarter on a reverse that went for a ninety yard score. Bill Ay- cock, Bobby Davis, Mike Harris, and Donald Mann accounted for much of the front line ' s resistance. Malcom McRae and Walter Sprunt led the backfield defensive effort. The next game ended in a loss for the Owls by a big Oakhaven team. A recovered fumble by Weber Laughlin resulted in Mal- com McRae ' s two yard pass to Walter Sprunt for the first score. The extra point was made on a pass from McRae to Mike Taylor. Oak- haven was held for three plays on the two yard line by a do or die MUS line. On the fourth play they finally plunged across but Rickie Wilson stopped the extra point. Oak- haven scored again on a long pass and the clock ran out as the Owls made a charge to the Oakhaven goal. The final score was 1 3-7. An eighth grader, Billy Hoehn, made many fine line plays. At this point in the season the Baby Owls were 3-4-0. A spirited team faced Bartlett in a magnificent 33-0 M.U.S. victory in the last Star backs Bain and Sprunt 144 c ■■■ ' 1 .. ; ' i lSl! « -. 2 lM££ 1Meai£ %i:l9£.£ ,t .J £ S Bottom Row, from left to right: J.

Walter Sprunt scored first highlighting a 60 yard drive. Steve Bain ran 42 yards for the second goal with AAcRae running the extra point. After holding Bart- lett on the M.U.S. 15, AAcRae rolled out for a ten yard touchdown. AA.U.S. controlled the fourth period play with a 55 yard drive highlighted by passes to David Dunavant and tackle Bill Deweese. With the score 27- 0, AAcRae rolled out for another touchdown to end the game 33-0. The final record of the team was 4-4-0. This put AA.U.S. in 4th place in the league standings. During the whole season the op- ponents scored only 78 points to the Baby Owls ' 1 1 8. AAost of these were accounted for by AAalcom AAcRae ' s fine passing and the running of Walter Sprunt and Steve Bain. The line was strengthened by John Cannon, Richie Wilson, Jeff Olingy, Bobby Davis, David Dunavant, Donald AAann, Bill Aycock, Bill Deweese, and AAike Harris. Bill Patter- son ' s fine job as manager deserves the praise of the entire squad and the whole team de- serves the praise of the school for their fine season. Along with the team Coach Peters and Coach Patterson should be praised for their excellent job of coaching. Below: AAike Harris and Donald Mann JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL Reviewing this year ' s highly successful junior high basketball season, one sees a striking parallel to last year ' s season. Both teams compiled identical records, 15-2; both started slowly and finished with a long win- ning streak; and both won the Shelby County Junior High Tournament and League Cham- pionship. With some 75 boys trying out for the team November 1 5, Coach Peters had a large group from which he could select the 1 A team members and 8 B team players. Practice, hard work, and rigid training rules and habits brought the team to its first of five non-league contests. The Owls, at full strength soundly whipped a big Whitehaven team, 37-1 9, to get the season started on the right track. However, the team was hampered a bit due to injuries shortly thereafter which were to plague them continually throughout the season. Gordon Greeson, starting center, pulled some tendons in his foot and was out for three games. Reid Sanders, Walter Sprunt, and David Dunavant all had knee trouble throughout the year. Malcolm AAcRae, the fifth starter, developed ankle trouble later in the season. But despite these difficulties, the team went on to win three of their five non-league games. After downing Whitehaven, the Owls travelled to Richland, and there racked up their highest point total of the year, 62-37. Both Malcolm McRae and Reid Sanders tal- lied 15 points. However, they then went into a slump, and lost their only two games of the year. A good Snowden team jumped out in front early and staved off a last quarter M.U.S. rally to down the Owls, 37-32. Then, in the next game, Germantown took advantage of M.U.S. floor mistakes and poor shooting to slip past for a 33-19 win. - It was then that the team began what was eventually a 13 game winning streak. They turned in a sparkling come-from-behind per- formance against Oakhaven to win the game, 40-18. Trailing 8-2 late in the first quarter, they began to hustle and scrap, and shut out the Hawks in the second quarter. From there it was all M.U.S., and they closed out their non-league action, posting a 3-2 rec- ord. The all-important first league game was on January 14, and M.U.S. rose to the oc- casion crushing Millington, 46-28. Yielding a great height advantage to the Trojans, the Owls used a full court press that stymied Millington completely. Walter Sprunt turned in his best showing of the year as he dumped in 15 points. The Owls took Bartlett, 43-25, and White- haven, 32-21, to remain tied for first place in the league lead with three other teams. Again it was the stiff zone defense, delib- erate offense, and full court press that pulled them through. Collierville was their next foe, and the Owls again were victorious, although they had some trouble through the first half. Col- lierville was sharing the cellar spot with Bol- ton, and the Owls were apparently over- confident, as they only posted a slim 10-8 halftime margin. But Coach Peters ' pep talk between halves put new life in the team, and they outscored the Dragons 33-6 in the second half and 43-1 4 for the game. Their next contest was against a tough Hillcrest team, and M.U.S. played magnifi- cently. They capitalized on Hillcrest ' s mis- takes, and perfectly executed their full court press, to take a commanding 32-9 lead at the half. With the reserves playing the fourth quarter the Owls ended up on top of a 51- 22 final score. David Dunavant poured in 1 7 points for the Owls. The victory left M.U.S. in a tie with Germantown for the lead in the Shelby County League, and their next game was against the Red Devils. The contest was played on Germantown ' s floor, and, although the Owls had dropped a contest to the Red Devils earlier in the year, they avenged that defeat by easing past Germantown, 32-19. Germantown was out- classed in the first half, as MUS dominated the boards, hit from the field, and stopped Germantown offense. The halftime score, 21-2, showed that the Owls outhustled the Red Devils. Finally in the third quarter the Devils got their first field goal, but then it was too late. Reid Sanders had a remark- able 12 points. With this win the Owls took over first in the league. 146 First Row, L.-R.: Cannon, Sprunt, Wilson, Sanders, Bryce. Second Row, L.-R.: AAacDonald, AAcRae, DeWeese, Greeson, Dunavant. McRae and Dunavant The Owls beat Westwood, 34-22, with good shooting and good defense. Bolton fell easy, 49-18, as AAUS clinched at least a tie for the league title. They needed a win over Oakhaven to clinch the league. The going was tough as Oakhaven outhustled AAUS for three periods, and trailed by four points, 18-14, then the Owls opened up and won 35-23. Gordon Greeson tallied 13 for AAUS. With the league clinched the Owls were seeded first in the Junior High Tournament. Their first game was with Westwood. AAUS got an early lead and when the final buzzer sounded the score was AAUS 51, Westwood, 25. The semi-final game against Hillcrest was hard but the Owls pulled out a 36-19 vic- tory. In the final game against Germantown, the Owls rallied to a 12-9 halftime lead, and kept the lead to win 29-20. AAcRae was high for the season with 1 38 points, and was All-Tournament, Dunavant led in rebounds with 78. The team has great potential for a great varsity team. ll %e B R The starters— (I. to r.): W. Sprunt, Dunavant, Greeson, McRae, Sanders.

Broken furniture, paper strewn lawns and halls, unsanitary bathroom facilities, and general disorder by no means increase I the standard of greatness of any school. The responsibility of I this maintenance and cleanliness is not just the custodians , but lies upon each individual student at the school. Students should also observe the same consideration in their general appearance. Hair should be cut more often, shoes shined, and an over-all attempt made to improve one ' s appear- ance. Order in dress and personal belongings has been proven bv experience to be proportional to order and ability in thought work. If you look sharp, you ' ll feel sharp, and be sharp. 153 Thus MUS strides towards greatness. , Jll, • l 1. ' .•5 ' ' if «-. t ■ . «9 1 ' ' ' , Thompson shoots for two against Wliiteliaven.

The ensuing arrangement, with the pool table and sofas at the west end, left a large expanse of floor room, which made up about two-thirds of the total area. This wide open space excited the imagination of two of our NROTC mental giants, Davey Dando and Billy Ross. The I ' e- sult of their pooling their men- tal facilities was astounding. Soon the old Common Room, : once a place of scholarly pur- suit, was ringing with the i sounds of groans and cheers. The cheers were from the spec- tators, aiid the groans were from the participants of a new I game, a first in the sporting world — cement hockey. Soon, other mental wizards who frequent the Common Room began to suggest im- provements. The results were amazing. From the game ' s humble beginning of a can top and broken cue sticks, the sport evolved to regular sticks and a steel puck. Now, a regulation National Hocliey League puck is in use.

Beatlemania covers ' the Head Bug ' s shine PART II CLASS HISTORY This school year began, as always, with catastrophe.— summer reading (ugh!) When it became evident that entreaties and sup- plications were to no avail, a few of us read the books the night before the exam, but we all choked. Hatch was good to us, though, and didn ' t count the tests heavily. Then came Pseudi ' s lunches. As the year progressed, her prowess de la cuisine be- came more and more manifest. Remember her tempting minute steaks, vienna sausage, and the great butter revolution ? (Yea, Lumml) Along with other innovations, AA.U.S. got a new status symbol this year— a full-time re- pair man to fix everything that went wrong, like leaky roofs, broken windows, and even the boiler room after periodic explosions. Yes, Mr. Mayberrie has real talent. (We think he helps Pseudi fix lunches, too.) Oh yes, a branch of Neiman-AAarcus opened at Owlsville, too. It ' s called Ubie ' s Bookstore. This is the greatest little opera- tion since A! Capone cornered Chicago. Ubie can get anything you want, from Beatle Rec- ords to boxcars. This won ' t last long, though, the anti-trust laws will ge+ him. Devotionals were good this year until Bart left. We then incurred technical diffi- culties, in the microphone systems. For a while, chapel consisted of about ten minutes of silence, but we did have good programs from time to time. Remember the driving film starring Mr. Momentum, and Mr. Blair ' s foggy films of the school. 158 lli After ten weeks of school (what a drag!) we finally got out of Phys. Ed. This meant extra time for the Commons Room to goof off or play any game that wasn ' t broken. We were all pleased with Brakebill ' s wise investment in that bowling game. It lasted one day. However, the game was of some good use. You could kick it if you failed a test or hide behind it during the hockey games, which caused more injuries than all the football games put together. With cold weather came football, disorg- anized cheering, and cheerleaders (?). Post- game activities consisted of just about noth- ing. What ever happened to those AA.U.S. sock-h ops? We did have a Homecoming dance which everyone enjoyed. (Remember the lost band?) Even with all the injuries, our team still played creditably for the school, and we were all proud of them. The biggest games of the season were the home- coming game and the White Station Game. In the homecoming game we beat Oakhaven 13-9. This was especially gratifying since this was the first homecoming in our school ' s history. White Station was one of the best teams in the city and has always been our biggest rival. It was the final game of the season, and we had a 4-4-1 record. This game would decide whether we had a winning or losing season. White Station was a thirty point favorite, but the Owls would just not accept defeat, and the game wound up a 7-1 tie which was one of the biggest up- sets of the season. No one could have been prouder than Coach Rudolph, and we all ap- preciated his work and effort during the sea- son. 159 . Along with varsity football, came the jun- ior-senior and student-faculty football games after school. All games wound up in ties. The students were in good shape but dis- organized and the faculty was organized but in lousy shape. The basketball team started strong and won the county championship handily. With only one loss to Germantown by five points the Owls won every game. Everyone was proud of the team and appreciated their ef- forts and sportsmanship. The cheering and support by the student body was by far the best that the school has ever had. School spirit ran almost to the point of mass hysteria in the close games but the team with fine coaching from Coach Patterson was as cool as ice. We were all proud just to say that we went to AA.U.S. and that we were No. 1. The cheerleaders were a big part of the school spirit this year (It was nice that most of them came to the games). Along with the Pep Club they have built up school spirit to a point which has never before been reached. Their cheering may have been disorganized, but their pretty faces and whole-hearted efforts you couldn ' t help but feel that they were sincere and that made you want to cheer with them. It seemed like no time at all after the Christmas holidays that we had to start study- ing for semester exams (good grief). But that period of depression which always fol- lows semester exams was short this year thanks to Johnny Twist, who decided to risk life, limb, and property to give us, seniors, a party at Twist, Ark. (It ' s a cinch that there was no depression after the party. Nufsedl) 160 The Lausanne girls have cer- tainly risen on the hit parade list this year. It all began with the fashion show (hah!) Attendance at Lausanne lectures nearly dou- bled and it seemed that the lec- tures lasted longer than ever be- fore. We might cite some of the romances but they ' re all the same Romeo and Juliet stuff. You know, Hark, what light in at yonder window shines? The two most popular classes have undoubtedly been Wild Bill ' s and Oo-poo-per-doo ' s. Onomatopoeia has been the main- stay of Bill ' s English class, (When we could find a place to meet). Everyone was ecstatic when we had a film. (Extra- sleep). Animal noises and war- time stories were the norm in Oo-per ' s class. He was the pilot who. bombed Okinawa, the day after we took it. (Couldn ' t read his watch!) Ross and Long (alias Tarzan and Cheeta) provide ex- otic noises to accompany Oo- per ' s tales of the Philippines. (The class sounds like the back- ground to Quiet Village. ) The next earth-shattering event was the advent of the Beatles. Even Col. Lynn wore a wig for the occasion, but when long hair be- came too much in vogue. Coach Thorn stepped in with threats of demerits and suspension. There was some talk of revolution among the students but there was no unity so divided we fell. p Just about everyone went to Destin this year during Spring va- cation. This was one of the biggest events of the school year, and the action was fast and furious. For some, it was their second so- journ to Destin (Remember Buddy?) Yep, the Sun and Fun still had its appeal. Of course, the year was highlighted by graduation. Most of us seniors have spent six years in AA.U.S. but with the hectic rat-race of school affairs we haven ' t had time to assess just what we have gotten from our stay here. What we haven ' t realized is all the time, money, and effort that have been spent on us by our parents, fac- ulty, and headmaster. We probably won ' t fully realize and appreci- ate it until much later in life. It would seem that the least we could do in return for all that has been done for us would be to bring honor and credit to our school. Whether or not we will is yet to be determined. Graduation, it seems, takes a great burden off of all of us. But does it really? Possibly the best analogy that one could make to Graduation would be Christmas. You ' ve waited so long for the big day. It finally comes and there is great celebration. Then it ' s over and nothing is quite the same again. 162 MOST OUTSTANDING CHEERLEADER MISS GAIL TAYLOR 163 Advertising 164 WOODSON-TENENT LABORATORIES Chemists The moit popular boy af MUS always drinb Coca-Cola.
