00 - MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL THE OWL VOLUME X, 1966 MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE published by Taylor Publishing Company FOREWORD During the past year we have all been confronted by many situations, most of which we wouhd like to recall. We, the editors, therefore, wish to present this yearbook, not as a catalogue of events, but as a re- collection of our experiences, both en- lightening and frustrating; that is, a true picture of the school year. From among the many phases of school life, we would like to emphasize the strong feeling of academic and athletic competition. This competition, whether within the stu- dent body, between students and faculty, or with other schools, will be recalled as one of the most important elements necessary for our achievements at MUS.

Proficient in seven languages, he has at one time taught every language offered at MUS, and is presently heading the Lan- guage Department. Mr. Morelock is a man of varied interests. He began his stage career as a student in France. Re- turning to Memphis, he gained local prominence through his work at Fron Street Theater, Memphis Little Theater, Memphis Opera Theater, and Memphis Shakespeare Festival. When not rehearsing, Mr. More- lock keeps in shape at the MUS weight room and track, where he astounds everyone with his blinding speed and prodigious strength. His excellent tastes are apparent through his immaculate dress and fre- quenting of establishment of fine cuisine — notably, Justine ' s, The Embers, and Shipley ' s. At MUS, Mr. Morelock has kept quite busy, being head of the Language Department. Also, he is a representative of the National Honor Society and one of the advisors to the yearbook. Occasionally, he is even called upon to chaperone the school functions His sophisticated manner and distinct enunciation en- title him to pronounce the list of words in the annual spelling bee. His devotion to the school has been wit- nessed by his regular attendance at athletic contests of all kinds; with cries of Harass them, lads! , he spurs the teams on to victory. Indeed, Mr. Morelock exemplifies many outstand- ing qualities for which we admire him; therefore, we dedicate to him this yearbook, the 1966 Owl. FEATURE COMPETITION - BOTH ATHLETIC AND ACADEMIC - :mi HAS LONG BEEN A PART OF MUS FRIENDLY RIVALRIES AMONG STUDENTS. AS WELL AS WITH OTHER SCHOOLS. 10 WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN . . .

HONOR COUNCIL 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 ac- cepted code of honor. The self-government is pro- vided by the Honor Council, the student organiza- tion endowed with the responsibility of maintaining the spirit of the Honor System. This System pro- hibits lying, cheating, and stealing, but in a much larger sense promotes a truthfulness and honor be- tween men which will be of invaluable assistance in later life. That the Honor System may be a working reality and not as it often is, a mere pre- tense, it is essential that the whole student body be organized to enforce it, and that it accept, will- ingly and courageously, its heavy responsibilities. A few concrete examples of the operation of the Honor System at MUS will supplement and clarify the principles stated. Classrooms are free from teacher supervision. The professor often leaves an examination room in the full confidence that there will be no cheating. This trust applies not only to examinations but also to daily recitations, and outside work. A visitor to the school can often see books and personal items lying about the campus or building left by students who knew that the property would be there when they returned. In all varsity dressing rooms the locked locker is an item unheard 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, does not try to discover violations of the Honor System but does not shrink from the responsibility of hearing cases when neces- sary. The members of the Honor Council are representa- tives of each grade chosen by their classmates as ex- hibiting qualities of intelligence, honor, and impar- tiality. Since the days of the old MUS, 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. Singling out their mark are (from left); Frank Jemison, Robert Sayle, President Hal Rhea, Ray Higgins, and Ford McDonald. 85 r. Front row: Kent Wunderlich, Hank Hill, Walter Sprunt, Henry Do ' grell B.ick rou : Peter Roop, Mac Caradine, Bill Ferguson, Minor Vernon STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council at MUS plays an important role in the control of student affairs. The purpose of the Student Council is to provide better relationships between students and teachers. Its duties are to transmit student opinion to the Headmaster and faculty and to interpret the opinions of the faculty to the students, to safeguard the traditions and customs of the school, to represent the students on public occasions and in every way possible promote school spirit and further the welfare of Memphis University School. The Student Council at MUS is to help build strong feelings of loyalty toward the school from every student. The Council represents every student, and in addition to loyalty, tries to encourage initia- tive and originality. Endeavoring to develop able attitudes and practices of good citizenship constitute the prime aims of the Student Council. New students are informed about the work of the Council in a hope to enlist their interest and support. Students and faculty cooperate with the Council in various projects and thus natural divisions between the two groups tend to disappear. The Student Council at MUS is a cooperative vehicle involved in working for the best interests of the school. Under the direction of Mr. MacQueen, the Council has made much progress. 86  v i This year the Student Council has virtually re-written the consti- tution, involving school functions and voting procedures. Another achievement of the Council has been the establishment of various com- missions such as the Athletic Commission, the Student Welfare Com- mission, and the Chapel Commission.

QUILL AND SCROLL Quill and Scroll is a national honorary literary organization, founded for the purpose of promoting interest in journalism among promising high school students. This year a chapter was installed at MUS. In an impressive ceremony in chapel, nine seniors and three juniors became members. Mr. Cooper was selected to be the group ' s faculty advisor, and the charter was presented to Mr. Hatchett. The MUS chapter is named in his honor. The national headquarters sends a periodical to the president of our chapter, of- fering many new and interesting ideas concerning journalism. The group meets twice a month to discuss these ideas and determine how they can be used by the school ' s publications. 88 Seated (on floor): Brig Klyce, B ill Jordan, Henry Craft, Bill Bryce.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is composed of boys from the eleventh and twelfth grades who represent approximately the upper fifth of the junior and senior classes. These boys are selected on the basis of their scholarship, character, service, and leadership. The main duty of the Honor Society is to provide chapel messages on Tuesdays and Fridays. Under the direction of Frank Jemison, they have done an outstanding job this year. 89 Front row: Crump, B. Smith, Doggrell, Hill, Heckle, B. Davis, B. Ogle.

Jordan and Warren fumbled for their keys, one dug his out and jammed it into the broken lock of the Annual Room door (anyone can open it without a key). Once inside, they groped for the light switch, stumbling over the broken heater, and flicked it. Nothing happened. Warren ran back to the fuse box and flipped several numbered switches before scorch- ing himself. The light came on; Jordan started scream- ing and ran out. Someone had removed the wad of paper which plugged the hole in the wall, and the wasps from the nest on the other side were pouring in, some crawling, some flying toward the door. Warren, summoning courage, grabbed the Flit Spray Gun, and after squirting Jordan ' s eyes and his own pants, frightened the wasps into a frenzy. They flew into an open drawer of the file cabinet, and Jordan slammed it shut. You imbecile, we ' ve got to get our copy sheets out of there! cried Warren. What copy sheets? You used them to plug the hole, said Jordan, smugly. 90 tJ !_L Just then, Smith and Heckle came in, the first carrying a broken typewriter, Ferd pulling out the remains of the activity articles which his dog had found that morning. Neither Hill nor McDonald had been at school for three days, and their articles, all twenty-seven of them, not counting the doaen they had written and lost, were due in twenty minutes. Sneed was to have turned in his photographs for cropping the day before ... his camera was at the factory, and would be there for a month. He didn ' t have any film, anyway. Just then, the four o f them heard the curtains part, and Crump came in with a strained look on his face. He was followed by MacQueen, whose face was not strained a bit. It was white. Crump had just told him about the bill for the kiddie pictures, and also about the four lost checks for four full-page ads. MacQueen ' s lip trembled, his eyes sparkled, and his mouth moved without saying anything. Doggrell ' s ad campaign, by the way, was in its second month and netted $735, only $2,065 from the goal. The drive had eight days to go; it had been extended five times already. As the six of them stood, or rather slumped, mus- ing over the favorable situation, Morelock bounced in with the news that Col. Lynn had decided that he wanted an orange and blue cover (blue background with orange owl feathers crisscrossed to spell MUS), instead of the white one. With that, the entire staff, advisor included, silently turned and filed out the back door of the chapel and down to the Commons Room for a few game of eight ball before lunch .

PAPER STAFF Led by its Editor-in-chief Franklin Anderson, the 1965-1966 Owl ' s Hoof has crashed into its eleventh volume with five editions. The paper staff has created a new fad at MUS. This is the Junior class Trivia Test. The test was a flop this year due to the fact that the sophomore class invaded, and the Juniors quit. A new activity of the newspaper is the dedication of each edition to some member of the faculty or student body. On the lighter side are the April Fool edition and the mysterious Court Day. 92 Mr. Hatchett has taken his life in his own hands again this year as faculty advisor to the madmen of the paper staff. These are led by the chief, Franklin Anderson, and Associate Editor John Romeiser. The rest of the mob are News Editor Gordon Greeson, Sports Editor Dwight Drinkard, Copy Editor Bill Sammons, Photography Editor Stuart Dornette, Promotions Editor John Pettey, Circulation Co-Editors Ralph Lewis and Randy Moskovitz, and a cast of thousands. As Typing Editor, Bruce Smith types for the newspaper, the annual, the MUSE, and just about everything else. The newspaper room (also shared with the Astronomy Club and the sick) is always filled with the efforts of staff to write, set up, and circulate the paper. The staff pledges adherence to its motto — If you can ' t find news, make it yourself. Discussing the Italian motif of Franklin ' s paper room are: Top from left: Higgins, Romeiser, Drinkard, Billings, Smith, Greeson, Lewis.

Smith. TYPING STAFF For the first time, the typing work on the annual, newspaper, and the MUSE was done by a single typing staff under a single editor. Since this was the first year, there were several problems, but the single staff meant efficiency and ac%uracy. The typing staffs were consolidated under Bruce Smith so that deadlines, which often conflict for more than one publication, could be met with greater ease and efficiency. R3sponse by t ' .ie student body has been good, and the consolidation should be continued in future years, for the editors of all three pul I ' cations have been pleased with its work. Steve, I knew you wanted the best job, so I assigned my best typist to this article. Bruce 94 Seated: Steve Crump, Fred Niell, Mr. D. Smith. Literally standing: George Stratton, John Pettey, Brig Klyce, Tim Whitington, Bruce Smith, Mr. Russell. MUSE STAFF For the first time, the MUSE, instead of being run by the Creative Writing Club, is an independent organization. Again, the avowed purpose of the MUSE is to print the best pieces of Hterature (?) produced by the student body. Last year ' s MUSE was the best yet, and received high praise from critics. This year ' s edition should be even better, due to the improvements made by Editors George Stratton and Fred Niell, who have come up with many ideas that have added much to the magazine. The success of last year ' s MUSE, which was engineered largely by the same staff as this year ' s, is even more amazing when one considers that last year was really the MUSE ' s first year. Faculty advisors David Smith and James Russell listen with dismay each time the staff comes up with an idea that increases the cost of the magazine to the school. 95 Squatting: J. McFadden, D.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee started the school year off properly with a rockin ' homecoming dance, the third Annual Home- coming, as a matter of fact. Several weeks later the Seniors held their Last Annual Hayride from which stemmed the contro- versial matter of the Midwinter Formal; it was soon decided there wouldn ' t even be one. Yet, the social committee, un- daunted, proceeded to make arrangements for the Junior-Senior Prom, the Seniors hoping to attend ... 96 ■ a i Front row: Mrs. Pierce, Miles Davis, Jack McNiel, Howard Hatchett, Hayes Van Hersh, Dev Jones, Steve Doty, Wesley Brooks, Phillip Crawford.

CIVIC SERVICE CLUB At the first of this school year a group of civic minded boys got together to try to contribute their services to the betterment of the community. This group became the Civic Service Club. The first project was to provide a needy family with food over Thanksgiving. The entire school got behind us and it was a success. The club did the same thing for a needy family as well as giving a Christmas party for the needy children at a girl ' s club in Hurt ' s Village. This year the club has been the liaison between charity organizations and our school. The March of Dimes is to be the main project and the club has had wonderful response from the student body. Last year 41% of the student body volunteered for the drive but this year our president, Hays Van Hersh, has set our goal even higher and it promises to be our best year yet in working for the March of Dimes. 97 Lying: Woolfolk, Jemison; Front row: Gordon, Pettey, Fulmer, Walton, Schadt, Dollahite, Rhea.

PEP CLUB The Pep Club, now in its third year, is by far the most popular organization at MUS. This year a large per- centage of boys wishing to join had to be turned away. The group has charge of promoting school spirit and in- terest, and has done a remarkable job. This year the Pep Club is headed by President Steve Crump, Vice-President Brig Klyce, secretary Ferd Heckle, and Treasurer John Pettey. Its various activities range from taking care of Tayra and sponsorin g pep rallies and dances to making posters and putting on student-faculty football games. Several committees have charge of caravans, seating at athletic contests, posters, decorating goal posts, making signs for the gym, and transportation of Tayra to and from games. Besides these, the Pep Club puts on bonfires and skits before im- portant games. 98 r.«v r MISS KTTY WILSON H EEfsj; £L;rc T;,,t ' ;B r«?iSL?:SA Zf;   ■ ■ ' -■ J-- S,„e„s„„, Lisa McB„„e,, L„ waie..

The Red Cross, under the direction of Mr. David Smith and co-chairmen Jack Roberts and Hank Hill, accomplished much, this year. One of the most outstanding achievements of the Red Cross was the fund-raising drive this fall. Two hundred eighty-seven dollars was collected this year. This marks the second consecutive year that the Red Cross has exceeded its goal. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is another of the new clubs formed from the responses from the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. Mrs. Higgs is in charge of the group which meets occasionally each month. The group has performed a couple of skits in chapel. In- deed the group studies old Latin history and the customs during ancient times. T he people in the club profited tremendously from the discussions in the club. 1 !■■■ hMP FS « ' ' xBb H HIi H. ' Front Row (I. to r.): Barney Gordon, Tom Wells, Wood Crady.

With the profits, the club con- ducted surveys and developed its real estate. As its members are from the lower forms, the Engineers ' Club has plenty of time to expand and improve.

Because of this, the students were not able to participate and only sixty-eight went. Nevertheless these students collected $198.00. To encourage participation before the March, the chairman, Hays Van Hearsh, ar- ranged for Miss Linda Lackey, the 1963 Maid of Cotton, to speak to the students. After this, a film was shown and a speech by Bert Johnson was given. The Booster Club and the School donated a nominal amount of money to encourage the students. Enlisted for the drive were three chairmen: Paul Ringger, Reid Schadt, and Sid Caradine. These along with Fred Heckle and Frank Jemison worked a great deal and provided the assistance to earn $198.00 during the drive. 108 On Sign (I. to r.): Taylor, Wellford, Sprunt.

LETTERMAN ' S CLUB The Letterman ' s Club is made up of all boys who have earned a letter in any of the varsity sports: golf, foot- ball, basketball, track, tennis, cross country, swimming, and bowling, introduced this year. The main function of the club is to sell and take up tickets at home basketball games. The 1965-1966 lettermen were very successful in this respect. Under the direction of John Pettey there was good response from the club and also from other members of the student body. Each spring, the school recognizes all varsity athletes and the cheerleaders at the All Sports Banquet. Awards are given to new and senior lettermen, the best all-around athlete, and the most spirited non-letterman in football. 109 OFFICE STAFF Miss Mary Nell Easum Shown clutching their reward for a job well done are (I. to r.): Henry Cannon, Ferd Heckle, Joe Pinner, Bruce Bullwinkel, Randy Estes, John Romeiser.

DOGGRELL, LEE PARKER, SAYLE The MUS Owls took the field on September 11 against Hillcrest, as an inexperienced but willing and hard-hitting team. The playing conditions that night could not have been worse. It had been raining for two days and nights and summer ' s warm weather was still present. That night the Owls ' defense was good but the offense was very sloppy. Fullback Bobby McBurney broke his leg in the first half and was out for the rest of the season. And Hank Hill made the first touchdown of the season by catch- ing a pass from Johnny Adams; Kent Wunderlich scored the other touchdown. The only Hillcrest score came on the recovery of an MUS fumble. Next week, the Owls faced rival White Station. Both teams made touchdowns that were nullified by penalties, but each managed to score later in the game. The Owls lost by one point because they failed to make the extra point. Again the Owls ' offense couldn ' t get going, mainly because of lack of ex- perience, but the Owls ' defense stood its ground well. The Owls had a two week layoff before meeting last year ' s Shelby County Champs, Whitehaven. During those two weeks Coach Rudolph put in -. Y ' .. HILL All County ROBERTS All County DRINKARD I ( W i , ,  ALISSANDRATOS, DAVIS OLINGY, WILSON an entirely new offense with Hill at fullback, Wun- derlich and Sprunt at wingbacks, and Adams still at quarterback. The team also had two split ends instead of one. The team and coaches worked hard that week and it paid off. After a scoreless first half with Whitehaven, the boys knew they were on their way to a successful season. The Tigers scored in the second but midway in the fourth quarter, Hill went in for the score, and Wunderlich kicked the extra point. Tying Whitehaven was a great moral victory for MUS. The high-riding Owls were now set for German- town. At this point, the Devils were in first place, but a victory would mean first place for MUS. The Owls received the kickoff, and within a few plays they were in the end zone. The Owls ' defense held the Devils scoreless in the first half. MUS had two other opportunities to score before half-time but couldn ' t get the ball over. In the second half, the Red Devils ground out three and four yards at a time and scored twice. The Owls couldn ' t score in the second half. The following week, the Owls went to Franklin, Tennessee to play state-ranked Battle Ground Acade- my. This was the fourth tough game in five weeks that the Owls had to play. Just for the record, this year ' s schedule was the toughest that any MUS team has ever played. White Station, Whitehaven, Germantown, and BGA were all state-ranked. The Owls, however, were ready for BGA. They were ahead at the half by only one point, but in the sec- ond half, BGA ' s tremendous team speed, and es- pecially that of their backs, gave the Wildcats a big advantage pver the Owls. BGA ' s backs simply outran the Owl defenders and their quick offensive line stopped the Owl offensive-attack cold. The next three games were all MUS. Millington was first on the schedule, and it was the Owls ' Homecoming. The Owls pleased the alumnae crowd with a fine offensive. Hill started the night off with a fifty yard touchdown. Wunderlich scored on one and ten yard drives. Again the Owls ' defense held off any offensive threats by the Trojans. McDonald, dunavant 116 ' iUisisfeB i ig «s 0 ■ The Owls next felled the Panthers from Bartlett. The offense gained many yards and racked up an impressive thirty eight points. Wunderlich led the charge with three touchdowns while Hill, Stevens, and Sprunt each scored one. The second Team got good experience this game, despite the fact that Bartlett ' s touchdown was scored on them. MUS smashed Collierville the next week, 38-13. Hill and Wunderlich each scored three touch- downs to lead the Owl offensive attack. The de- fense held out as usual as the two Collierville touch- downs were against the Owls ' second team. MUS ' s final game was with Westwood on the Cowjsoys ' home field. Westwood ' s jinx on MUS at their home games prevailed. After an illegal de- fensive move by Westwood in the first plays of the game the Owls could not get started, offensively or defensively. That night was all Westwood ' s. The only consolation for MUS were the laurels gained by Wunderlich. He ran back the longest kickoff and punt returns in MUS history. Also, these two touch- downs and one extra point gave him the County scoring title. MUS 13 SPRUNT, STEVENS HILLCREST 6 On a hot and wet Saturday night MUS met to do battle with Hillcrest. The Owls offense was very sloppy and a leg injury sustained by fullback Bobby McBorney did not help matters. Fumbles and penalties kept the Owls from making any sub- Hill finally pulled down after gain against Germantown 117 Wunderlich sweeps wide as Koleas leads interference. stantial drives in the first quarter. Midway through the second quarter, however, the Owls had driven to the Hillcrest eleven. One play later, quarterback Johnny Adams hit end Hank Hill in the end zone on a roll-out pass. Kent Wunderlich kicked the extra point. In the third quarter, the Owl offense drove down to the Viking one yard line. Wunderlich then plunged over for the score. The extra point failed. The Hillcrest touchdown came late in fourth quarter, when Viking end Von Verner picked up an Owl fumble and scored on a forty-five yard run. MUS 6 WHITE STATION 7 A still inexperienced team met White Station the next week. Again the Owl offense could not move the ball at all. Wunderlich did score but a penalty nullified the play. White Station also had a TD nullified by a penalty. In the fourth quarter. White Station scored on a one yard plunge, which ended a seventy yard drive. In the last minutes of the game, quarterback Adams hit Wunderlich with a pass which resulted in an 8 5 -yard touchdown. The extra point failed and the Owls lost in a repeat performance of last year. The game ended with a desperation pass to Hill which White Station had well defended. MUS 7 WHITEHAVEN 7 In the two week interval between the White Station and Whitehaven games. Coach Rudolph put in an entirely new double wing offense with two split ends. Major changes were moving Hank Hill from end to fullback and Walter Sprunt from sec- ond-string quarterback to wingback. The change was a success as the Owls held Whitehaven scoreless at the half. The only Owl drive in the first half was a forty-yard run by Hill over guard Henry Doggrell to the Whitehaven twenty. The play was called back because of a penalty. In the third quarter, Wunder- lich intercepted a Tiger pass and ran it back to the Whitehaven forty. Whitehaven then intercepted an MUS pass and made it to the Owl 23 yard line in a few plays. Whitehaven scored on a ten yard run and successfully kicked the extra point. With but a few minutes left in the game, Walter Sprunt re- covered a fumble by Tiger Buddy Lawhorn. Wun- derlich ran the ball from the twenty to the seven and then down to the one. On the next play Hill drove the ball over with the help of the fine blocking of guard John Petree. Wunderlich ' s kick barely made 118 it above the crossbar, but it was good by anybody ' s standards. The Tigers tried in vain to score again; the tough Owl defense wasn ' t going to give them an inch. Just then, Smith and Heckle came in, the first carrying a broken typewriter, Ferd pulling out the remains of the activity articles which his dog had found that morning. The weekend of the Whitehaven game. Owl de- fensive star Jack Leach was in an accident and did not play the rest of the season. Jack was one of the hardest-hitting men on the team and he was missed by all . MUS 7 GERMANTOWN 14 The tie with Whitehaven was a moral victory for MUS and the team might have gone into the Germantown with big heads. On the first play of the game, Wunderlich, led by tackle Nick Koleas, made a sizeable gain on a pitch out. Fullback Hank Hill ran the ball to the Red Devil thirty on the next play. A few plays later, Wunderlich scored from eight yards out. His kick for the extra point was good. Germantown came right back and goal line stand inside the five kept them from scoring. Twice later in the first half, the Owls had a chance to score but both attempts failed. Germantown ' s hard- running backs ground out a few yards at a time to score twice in the second half. The Owls gained some 250 yards in the first half, but only 50 in the second, thus the Owls could not score again. MUS 12 BGA 34 Early next Friday morning, the Owls took off for Franklin, Tennessee, to play Battle Ground Academy. EGA was ranked second in the state by one of the Nashville newspapers. BGA scored early in the game on a ten yard sweep by All-State half- back Bobby Patterson. The Owls came right back and drove the kick-off to the Wildcat one-yard line, where Wunderlich scored. Patterson came back and swept his left end for a 40 yard TD. Wunderlich then scored from 25 yards out on a pitchout just before the half ended. As can be seen, the first half was a seesaw affair but the second was all BGA ' s. MUS ' s backfield was playing both ways all night and the platoon system of BGA, plus their terrific team speed, wore the Owls down. The Wildcats scored three times in the second half on runs of 45 and 75 yards and a pass of 32 yds. MUS 20 MILLINGTON Returning home, after playing four state-ranked teams, the Owls were set for a victorious home- coming game. Things started going on a fifty yard touchdown run by Hank Hill over left tackle. The Owls ' defense held the Trojans scoreless throughout the game as Alan Stevens, Walter Sprunt, and Kent Wunderlich intercepted four Millington passes. Wun- derlich held scoring honors for the night by hitting KOLEAS O ' NEAL, MAYFIELD Wunderlich on the way to another touchdown. paydirt twice on runs of one and ten yards. Senior Rober Sayle made his debut in this game at de- fensive cornerback. He did such a good job that he retained this position for the rest of the season. MUS 38 BARTLETT 7 A fired up team from Bartlett took the field at MUS on October 29. The Owls ' potent offense soon put out the fire as Wunderlich sped for a 61 yatd TD on the second play of the game. From then Hill turns it on while Petree takes out a defender. 120 on, it was all MUS as Wunderlich scored twice again on a two yard plunge and a 52 yard pass interception. Hill, Stevens, and Sprunt picked up touchdowns on runs from within the ten yard line. Second team quarterback Mike Tayjor gained good experience leading the second team for a score late in the game. He passed for good yardage which set up Steven ' s touchdown and almost scored himself the last seconds of the game. MUS 38 COLLIERVILLE 13 The Owls travelled to Collierville the following week for a contest with the CHS Dragons. Wunder- lich and Hill led the Owl ' s attack with three touch- downs apiece. Quarterback Adams hit Wunderlich for a touchdown while he scored the other two on runs of 44 and 45 yards. Hill scored on a 33 yard charge off left tackle, an eleven yard romp on a trap play, with key blocks by Petree and Roberts, and a twenty-seven yard pass interception. This was only the second interception by a defensive end in MUS history. Collierville, led by the passing of quarterback Lowe, scored twice in the second half. A memorable incident of the C ' ville game was the ' Lonesome Polecat ' series that Coach Rudolph put in. It was fun but did not scare Westwood as it was intended to do. MUS 13 WESTWOOD 32 MUS ' s final game was with Westwood at West- wood. The Owls were cursed from the start as some illegal defensive shifting by the Cowboys shook up the MUS ' offense. After the first few minutes of the game, the Owls never got moving as they had in the three previous games. Westwood made two touchdowns in the first half to MUS ' s one. The Owls almost scored in the last seconds of the half on a pass from Adams to Wunderlich. The pass was complete, but the referees ruled that Kent was out of the end zone. Had we scored then, the re- sult might have been different. However, we didn ' t and Westwood came back to score three more times to our one. Both Owl touchdowns were made by Kent Wunderlich. The first was the longest kick- off return, 98 yards, in MUS history, and the second was the longest punt return in the school ' s history. Dwight.Drinkard played his toughest game at defen- sive left tackle. Being double-teamed the whole night, he held up his side of the line by hitting hard and playing alert defense. A word about the team and the season: Coach Rudolph claims that although we were just the sec- ond best team in the school ' s history, we were the hardest hitting team that MUS has ever produced. Give me an ' M ' ! ' He also claims that halfback Kent Wunderlich was the best back ever to don an MUS football uniform. Kent was All-County for two years in a row, and completely rewrote the scoring and yard-gained records. A fitting climax to Kent ' s fine career at MUS was being selected to the All-State team. This year ' s team also played the roughest schedule ever played by an Owl eleven. Above all, this year ' s team enjoyed playing under the finest set of coaches in this area. No member of the team can say that he did not profit greatly from this year ' s successful season. The last tackier goes down as Hill eludes him. 121 Bottom row (I. to r.): Cannon, Morris, Watson, S.

JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL The Junior High football team started and ended the season on a good note. Beginning the season with a runaway victory and a hard-earned tie, the Owls, directed by coaches Powell and Johns, seemed to be well on their way to a winning season. How- ever, the next five opponents proved to be stronger than the Baby Owls and they ended the season with a 2-5-1 record, edging out Westside in the last game. Varsity football sometimes brings out the talent things next year from a few of the Junior High in a young player. Coach Rudolph is expecting big standouts. It is not uncommon for a sophomore to assume a starting position on a varsity team. Some prospects being eyed by the coaches are John Rem- mers, Haynes McBride, Vance Alexander, and David Gingold. 122 Randall Caldwell launches 60 yard bomb to Lynn Green against Germantown. MUS overwhelmed CoIIierville in their opening game. -Haynes McBride led the charge by scoring five times and racking 33 of the 39 points posted by the Junior High Owls. The final touchdown was made by Hunter Humphreys on a 65 yard pass in- terception. Next Thursday, the team travelled to Millington to do battle with the Junior High Trojans. Early in the first quarter, Millington got deep in Owl territory on a 40 yard pass. A few plays later they scored but were unsuccessful on the attempted extra point. MUS came back in the second quarter to score, consummating a 55 yard drive. Haynes McBride went in for the score but failed to make the extra point. The contest ended in a tie, as Millington failed to score in the waning minutes of the game. Whitehaven played host to the Baby Owls the following week and proceeded to defeat the visitors 14-0. The Tigers scored in the opening minutes of the first and second quarters. MUS couldn ' t get its offense going and the game ended with the Owls scoreless. MUS played Gemantown next on their home field. The Owls were shut out until the final thirty seconds of the first half as Randall Caldwell com- pleted a 60 yard touchdown pass and run combina- tion to Lynn Green. Germantown scored consistent- ly in the first three quarters to beat the Baby Owls 21-7. Bishop Byrnes took the field at MUS the follow- ing week as a newly-formed but tremendously strong team. Their tough defense held the Junior High Owls scoreless throughout the game and their pow- erful offense continually gained yardage. The game ended in a 26-0 victory for Bishop Byrne who went on to capture the Junior High County title. MUS played a much better game against West- wood a week later, holding them to two touchdowns, both of which were breakaway runs. Again the Baby Owls couldn ' t move the ball as the game proved to be a see-saw defensive battle. The game with Hillcrest was much the same story as with Westwood. The Vikings racked up an im- pressi ve 21 points to dominate the game; they held the Owls scoreless throughout the game. After losing five games in a row the Baby Owls weren ' t about to be discouraged by an early score by Westside in the game next week. The Junior High started rolling in the second quarter as the team advanced steadily to the Westside twenty. Vance Alexander scored on the next play on a brilliant run. The Owls gained the victory as McBride burst through the line on the try for the extra point.

VARSITY BASKETBALL V ' V f In stride with the athletic tradition being set at MUS, the Owls undertook a strenuous but successful season with only three lettermen returning from last year ' s squad. For the third year in a row, the Owls have won the county title. The Owls got off on the right foot by defeating state-ranked Overton. The 34-32 victory came in the last three seconds of the second overtime as Kent Wunderlich dropped in two free throws. The following morning the Owls journeyed to Nashville to play Montgomery Bell Academy. The Owls lost by a narrow margin, 50-49, as Hal Rhea did not play because of an ankle injury sustained the night before. The following Friday, MUS played East at East. The Owls seemed as if they were in a daze the whole night as the Mustangs rolled over them, 51-33. The next night, MUS was defeated for the third time in a row. Messick scored a tie-breaking free throw after the official playing time had expired. Rhea gets the tip on Treadwell 124 HAL RHEA KENT WUNDERLICH Hon. Mention, All State JIM GANNON The final score was 40-39. The first four games were all non-league games and didn ' t count in the league standings. Valuable experience was gained by these games, however. Starting the league action, the Owls nipped Ger- mantown, 35-31. MUS was really out to get the Devils that night, as the team played its best game yet, and the student body showed its support through good cheering. On Friday night, the Owls played Bartlett at the Panther gym but without Hal Rhea. The demoralized Owls played one of their poorer games, as Bartlett controlled the backboards. Coach Peters singled out only Butch Petree and Bruce Smith for praise after BUTCH PETREE 125 Rhea scores against Millington this game, although they scored only 7 points be- tween them. MUS could lose every game in a season and nobody would care if we just beat Westwood. This the Owls did in an overtime period on the Owl court. Wunderlich hit the tie-breaking basket in the waning minutes of the overtime period, and John Petree got a bucket just before the buzzer sounded to wrap up the 45-41 victory. On Dec. 17, the Owls travelled to Hillcrest to do battle with the Vikings. Each team could not make a shot, but they ended 35-28 — MUS winning. Al- though the Owls had a poor offensive night, good defense, especially on Ron McAfee, pulled the Owls through. This win left the Owls in second place. On Tuesday, Battle Ground Academy from Frank- lin, Tenn., came to Owlsville to play a high-riding MUS team. The Owls won it in a 61-52 romp. A good effort pleased an alumnae crowd, and the subs played much of the last quarter, as late in the third period, the Owls led by as much as 25 points. A week later, MUS entered the Knights of Co- lumbus Tournament, held at the Memphis State Fieldhouse. Opening the tournament with Christian Brothers High School, the Owls started toward the finals ' with a 48-31 victory. On the same night. Tread- well beat Savannah to advance to the semi-finals. In the semi-final game with Treadwell, the Owls Gannon shoots against CBHS in the KC as Rhea and Petree move in for the rebound DAVID DUNAVANT 126 KJ t GORDON GREESON (left) JACK ROBERTS (right) were definitely the underdogs, as everyone thought that they would be easy to beat. At the end of the first quarter, it was evident to Treadwell that the Owls had come to play some good hustling basket- ball. The Eagles led the game until Jim Gannon tied it up AA-AA with 4:30 left. Wunderlich later tied it at 46-46 and scored the remaining points on a three-point play with seconds left in the game. The final score was MUS A9, Treadwell 47. Enough credit cannot be handed to the five boys who played the entire game, but Jim Gannon must be singled out for his tremendous ball handling which com- pletely shattered the feared Eagle press. In the finals with Overton, the Rebels were out to avenge a previous defeat. Behind 35-28 at the end of the third quarter, the Owls, led by Jim Gan- non, Kent Wunderlich, and Butch Petree, tied it up at 40-alI with a minute remaining in the game. Overton went ahead 44-40 with 44 seconds left; however Gannon and Petree tied it again at 44-all with seven seconds on the clock. The game ended as the tie was broken, as the buzzer sounded to end the first overtime, by Ron Crunk ' s desperation 30- foot field goal. Overton won, A6-AA. The first game in the new year saw the Owls blast Bolton, 76-43, on the Wildcat floor, as Gannon and Wunderlich again paced the Owls ' scoring. Riding high, the Owls journeyed out to Milling- Gannon gets by former teammate Ron Crunk of Overton in the Knights of Co- lumbus at MSU. 127 Jim Gannon sinks another against Overton at MSU. ton, where they were upset 44-38 in a rather flat performance by a good-shooting Trojan team. MUS returned to winning form by thumping Collierville, 71-53, as Wunderlich hit 21, and Gan- non, Petree, and Rhea all contributed 13. In a crucial game at MUS, the Owls defeated a good Whitehaven crew, 50-44. MUS, Jed by Wunder- lich ' s 21 points, overcame a four point first quarter Wunderlich for two against CBC deficit to win. The Bartlett Panthers, holding first place, invaded the MUS gym for a must game on January 28. The Owls, playing well, seemingly had the game wrapped up as they stretched a slender 24-20 halftime lead to 46-30 with just four minutes to go. The Owls let FORD McDonald HENRY CANNON BRUCE SMITH 128 B.S%_ up, and just ba rely hung on to win, 49-47. On Tuesday, Feb. 1, MUS was scheduled to play Westwood. The game was postponed because of snow. An upset-minded Hillcrest team came to MUS on Friday. Led by Ron McAfee, the league scoring champ the year before as a junior, the Vikings pulled ahead 27-13 at one point in the third quarter. It took the Owls two overtimes to win it, but they came out victorious with the score 46-39. MUS next met Bolton; the team exhibited its great offensive power as the Owls won, 90-37. Paced by Petree with 19, Wunderlich with 17, Gannon and Rhea with 14, and Smith with 11, every man on the roster played and scored. This game put the Owls into undisputed first place as Westwood downed Bartlett, who had previously held the top position.

The next week, in a normal league, would have been an unmitigated disaster for MUS. The Owls holding first place, opened the week by losing to Germantown at MUS, 41-40, as for the second time this season, the Owls lost a game by a foul shot sunk after the final gun. Friday, February 18, saw MUS lose to Whitehaven in five overtimes, 41-38. Coach Peters did not feel the team had played their best ball in either of these games, but the Owls were given a second chance, as lowly Collierville upset Bartlett the same night. The Owls now journeyed to Westwood to face the Cowboys in the showdown of the year. A win was a must; it would place MUS in a three-way tie for first place. A strong second quarter, due largely to a fine half-court zone press, gave the team an 18- 10 lead at the half. The final gun saw the Owls ahead 44-37, thanks chiefly to Gordon Greeson ' s seven straight foul shots in the closing minutes. 130 Dunavant good for two in KC, as Groskind (11), now at MUS, watches hopelessly. Jim Gannon, the most valuable player in the KC Tourney. With the prospect of a league championship before them, a feat few thought they could achieve before the season closed, the team travelled to Collierville for their final league game. David Dunavant took up the slack left by Wunderlich ' s absence (he had injured his knee in the Westwood game) by scor- ing 16 points and playing a fine floor game. Duna- vant, normally a forward, moved to the unfamiliar guard position and paced the Owls to a hard-fought 44-36 victory. Ending the regular season with a 16-8 mark, the season must be called a success. Few observers at the start of the year believed the team would be able to accomplish what they did. MUS is the only team to beat Treadwell in the regular season. The KC Tourney and other games surprised many, but one person, however, was never surprised by the wins. Of course, this is Coach Peters, who must take much of the credit for this year ' s successes. 131 B-TEAM BASKETBALL Front Row: Pettey, Hutton, Bryce. Back Row: Laughlin, Caldwell, Ogle, Myar. The past season was one of ups and downs for the B team. In contrast to previous B teams, this team lacked both experience and height. Many of the younger players were pressed into immediate service and started slowly. However, as the season progressed, they showed their abilities and came up with several outstanding efforts. Several boys played prominent roles on the team this year. Juniors Bill Deweese, Walter Sprunt, and Ford McDonald were the team leaders. Other Jun- iors on the team were John Pettey and Bill Bryce. 132 up from the Junior High team were Henry Cannon, Henry Myar, Curt Ogle, Tom Hutton, and Bob Cald- well of the tenth grade and Freshman Weber Laugh- lin. Following a slow start, the team made notable progress after the Christmas holidays, when it won 5 of its 7 victories. Upsets over Westwood, White- haven, and Hillcrest were the high points of the sea- son, and showed the team ' s potential. One main handicap was the fact that several key players were able to play only 2 or 3 quarters of the B game in order tp be eligible for varsity action also. Several close games were lost in the late stages because of this. The season, though not a good one from a won- lost standpoint, was profitable, because it gave many boys good experience for future varsity play. Deweese and Laughlin fight for rebound against Whitehaven at the Tiger gym. McDonald scores over a Tiger as Myar hustles down court. Ogle shoots over Bartlett as Laughlin moves in for a possible rebound. 133 JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL Front Row: Parks, Roberts, Shy, Humphreys, Dobbins. Back Row: Caldwell, L. Keesee, Brooks, McClure, Rupp, Keltner, J. Keesee The Baby Owls had a successful year with a 12-3 record, tying for first in league play, and placing third in the district tournament. They won seven in axow before falling to Whitehaven by two points in the final seconds. The Owls went on to a three way tie for first place in the county league. Their key victory was over Westwood, 27-18. Whitehaven handed the team their second loss in the final league game, 35-23. Then came the District 4 Tournament. The Owls won the toss for first seeding and hoped for an easy time. In the first round game with Bishop Bryne, the Owls stepped on the Red Knights, 26-17. How- ever, the Owls were stunned by Germantown, 30-17. The team played without their best guard, John Kee- see, and the Red Devils rattled them with a full court press. The Owls advanced to the consolation game with arch-enemy Westwood. Determined to win the final game, they played well and slipped by the Westerners, 31-28. Receiving tournament hon- ors were Paul McCIure and Randall Caldwell. Also named to the all-district team were John Keesee and Paul McClure. 134 The Eighth Grade basketball team was a success this year under Coach Jim Wright. It ended the season with a 12-2 record, third place in the St. Dominic Christmas Tourney, second in the Cordova League Tourney, and first place in the Shelby County League play. The first victims before Christmas were: Elmore Park, 46-21; Collierville, 41-4; Capleville, 39-34; George R. James, 39-19. Leading scorers were Ralph Braden and Jimmy Ogle. In the St. Dominic Christmas Tournament, MUS beat St. Anne ' s of Bartlett, 33-29, lost to St. Dominic, 25-29, and defeated Holy Names, 43-29. MUS took the third place trophy. Leading scorers were Gary Stevens and Ogle. League action resumed with MUS ' beating Ger- mantown, 22-13, Ellendale, 43-35, and in overtime play, Cordova, 3-30. The Cordova contest decided the league championship, as both teams had been tied for first. Harding fell next, 26-24. MUS won on a last second shot by Ogle, who was the leading scorer. The League Tournament was next, with MUS playing Elmore Park in a quarter-final play. MUS ran off with the game, 43-14. In this game Jimmy Ogle scored 23 points. Ellendale fell to MUS next, 17-12, Jimmy Ogle scoring ten points. Cordova de- feated MUS, 25-24, in the final six seconds on two free throws. Jimmy Ogle again led the scoring with 8 points.

VARSITY TRACK 4 - ' Last year, MUS started its track season very successfully. J rry and his Pacemakers raced to victories over Hillcrest and Oakhaven on April 3 and Westwood and Germantown the following week. Steve Keltner scored 25 points to defeat Russ Valentine of Germantown for high scorer. Next the trackmen travelled to Humboldt, Tenn., to participate in the Humboldt Relays. Finishing third here, our outstanding performer was Wilson Sneed who won the 100 yard dash and scored second in the 220 yard dash. 1965 saw the MUS trackmen host the first annual Memphis University School Track Meet. Although being ill, Steve Keltner brought MUS to a fifth place finish, while Catholic ran away with the meet, scoring 61 points. For the second consecutive season, the MUS trackmen won the Shelby County Championship. The meet which covered two days saw ten rec- Keltner displays winning form. 136 ords by its conclusion. At the end of the first MUS, Germantown, and Bartlett were tied for first place.

Tom Shearon also scored fourth in the long jump. The final night saw Keltner win the high hurdles with Hal Rhea placing third. Keltner won the lows as Dee Cannon finished fourth. Woods scored fourth in the discus. Wilson Sneed came in second in the 100 yard dash and fourth in the 220. The 440 and mile relay teams both finished second while Ferd Heckle and Randy Wellford placed third and fourth respectively in the mile run. The second goal of the track team was to come in second in the District meet. This they did and the scoring went about the same as in the county meet.

Keltner, who had earned the reputation of one of the top hurdlers in the state, won the high hurdles and triple jump and scored well in eight other events. Furthermore, Steve won second in the State Decathlon in early June. Some of the track records broken in 1965 were: Long Jump — Steve Keltner, 2 6 2 ' (state record); 120 yard high hurdles — Keltner, 14.5 sec.

McBride, JUNIOR HIGH TRACK The MUS Junior High Track team, hke their counterparts on the varsity, enjoyed their most suc- cessful season in school history. Led by Ricky Sneed and Haynes McBride, the Owls capped league compe- tition by placing second in the Shelby County Meet. Before the County Meet, the Junior High won five triangular meets and finished second in only one. In the County Meet, they bowed to Whitehaven, but Sneed threw the discus 158 ' 6l 2 a county record, and bettering the winning throw at the AAU Junior High National Championships.

Those who helped restore the basement will hever forget the roar of the wall-paint and smell of the crowd. In no time, the dismal, concrete block walls were splashed with two coats of Canary Belly Yellow, the motif was changed from Old French Bamboo to Stuffed Victorian, and the pool tables were renovated. All that remained to remind them of the old room were the streaks of moldy tar that ran through the cracks in the ceiling. September arrived amidst a horde of shrieking underclassmen. Nothing had changed over the sum- mer — the strange odor of pesticide from the kitchen, Col. Lynn ' s interesting, informative, completely pre- dictable address to the new students about I ' esprit de corps — everything unblemished by the all too short vacation. (Now is the time for the crack about three summer reading books in one night, but we ' ll omit that.) Of course, the old faces were all there, Mayberry included. The Pastel Flash had a new machine, UnUe Bob was still competing with Neiman-Marcus, Aber- crombie and Fitch, and Pop Tunes, and Betty Jo still didn ' t know the harmony to the Alma Mater, though she tried something new each morning. The Seniors were saddened to learn that Mike Morin wouldn ' t be returning. In Spite of such shattering losses, hearts were made light by the advent of new faculty members — notably, Messrs. Cooper, Johns, Russell and Wright, in alphabetical order, even. Economics was a killer, though, wasn ' t it? Football practice paid off in the annual White Station-Owlville gridiron clash (speaking of grid- iron clashes, how about the way those Lausanne girls play touch?). The Owls, with but one game under their belts, held a more powerful Spartan team to a 7-6 score; ' 66 is the real year of champions ! Next came BGA, and for those who don ' t remember the 146 game, that weekend in Nashville ought to give them something to think about. As if that weren ' t enough, several hardy Seniors returned for the Vandy Home- coming, which wasn ' t exactly an orange juice and cookies party, either! Other parties were in store for the Seniors, too, whether they were ready for them or not. After four or five postponements, the date was decided for the Senior Class Hayride to Mississippi and back to the Krystal via Dyersburg Party. Oh, that was an in- famous school function, all right ... all the Seniors couldn ' t wait for the Mid-winter Formal. Why did the chaperone leave for Chicago the next day, es- pecially on Thanksgiving? Yes, the Thanksgiving holidays were nice, with all those alumnae home for a few days, girls too, teaching us what they learned in college (wait a minute — this sounds like last year ' s Class History!) Next comes that unbearable wait for the Christmas vacation, relieved only by the basketball games, which were getting pretty exciting. Then December 14 the Owls turned back Westwood at MUS, and there was no stopping them after that. The holidays were suddenly here; everyone anticipated the KC Tourney (Christmas was by no means the climax to the vacation.) It was just great that Junior Cotil- lion was on the same night that the Owls upset state-ranked Treadwell. New Year ' s resolutions were made and broken on the same night as MUS revellers brought in the New Year at Les Passes; here ' s hoping that ' 66 will be even better than ' 65 (it couldn ' t be much worse in some respects.) The remainder of the holidays was spent recuperating, needless to say, with brief intermissions to cheer for the bowl games. The col- lege friends returned, and for some strange reason the weather turned depressing. The first week back was another winner, one of the few weeks before the Semester Exams (bless them!) Nobody procrastinated, though; everyone started his review in plenty of time, so as to make excellent marks on the Exams. Sure. After all, those grades were only sent along with the ad mirable First Semester records to colleges all over the country — that is, for those Seniors who bothered to apply be- fore the deadline. It didn ' t matter though, as every- one ' s scores were high enough to get into Goose- pimple County Underwater Basket Weaving Insti- tute, at least; the Draft was another matter. The first snowfall couldn ' t wait until Exams were 147 GO ' 66! over; it had to come on the Saturday of testing so that Monday, which was a hoh ' day, was an exam day — then it melted. The second Semester got off to as bad a start as the first. However, the basketball team soon had everyone forgetting about school when they moved in to beat Westwood on the Steer ' s court. Halftime activities included a demonstration of fair play by Westwood. The wind-up of basketball season coincided with the voting of the New Constitution, that masterpiece of parliamentary procedure and double-talk. Oh well, it was an improvement over the old one (at least that ' s what somebody who actually read it said). The Council did spend a lot of time on it though — naturally, what else was there to do ? 148 1 «.

Vacation took a while to arrive, but then it was worth it. For those who stayed in town, there was track practice or just loaf- ing; then there was track practice and loafing at the same time. Many Seniors took off for the far corners of the globe — or out of town, anyway. It was over too soon, and they were faced bluntly with a two- month wait until graduation, spiced only with such tidbits as acceptance to G.C.U.B.W.I., swimming pools opening, and annual coming out. 149 w ,. Going To MUS Has Been A Worthwhile Experience; A Unique One . . . 150 ' It was some year, all right. As a matter of fact, for some of the Seniors it has been six, or even twelve. What will they remember most? It ' s rather hard to say — teachers, perhaps, sports events, other students. What is an education? The sum total of one ' s experiences, it is said; certainly, going through MUS has been a worthwhile experience, a unique ex- perience. After all, almost without exception, being a Senior in high school happens only once in a lifetime. 151 Academic Contest Coming For Juniors OWL ' S HOOT ■olume 11 No. 1 MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Fr Independent Study Plan Begun By Administration Several new courses and a special program called the Independent Study Plan have been introduced by the school this year. Latin III, a course consisting mainly of Roman political background, is being of- fered for the first time to Latin students. The History Department, under Mr. MacQueen, is offering a course in economics for two semes- ters and Russian History from 1917 as a one semester course. The course in Russian History stresses the rise of Communsim and the Soviet State. The school ' s greatest academic- - innovation is the Independent Study Plan (ISP). The purpose of the pro- gram is to bring out and develop individual, creative study under the guidance of faculty members. Stu- dents who take this program meet ' every week with their teacher, after completing five hours of read- ing preparation. They discuss, in seminar fashion, the various con- cepts and ideas introduced in their reading assignments. Papers and projects are jointly decided by the Mulch Men Make Massive Moves All was quiet on the Western Front (of the campus) Saturday, November 20, until the air was i-ent by the sound of shovels striking cotton seed hulls. Under the leader- ship of the Head Mulcher, Johnny Adams, the Student Council under- took the delicate job of mulching the latest addition to campus greenery. Supervised by Mulchmaster Mac- Queen, Walter Sprunt, Minor Ver- non, Hank Hill, Kent Wunderlich, Peter Roop, and Bill Ferguson bent their backs to the task. There was great speculation as to how long our young hedges would live after the mulchmen had completed their work. students and teacher, and there are no tests given except the nine weeks and semester exam. One- half credit is given for each ISP course taken. ISP courses offered by the His- tory Department are Recent Amer- ican History and Classical Civiliza- tion. The English Depai-tment is offering Dr. Johnson and his Cir- cle, by Mr. Hatchett which covers 18th century literature centering around Dr. Samuel ' Johnson and his colleagues. The Bloomsbury Group wil be examined with Mr. Cooper through intensive readings and discussion on the British intel- lectuals in the 1920 ' s and 1930 ' s. It is hoped that the Independent Study Plan, through its seminars, intensive readings, and research papers will prepare the student for college level work. ISP students are in unanimous agreement that this new program is a worthwhile, enjoyable, and en- lightening endeavor.

The winning student will receive five dollars. -The contest will contain at least twelve topics including: archeol- ogy, science, Bible, philosophy, English, grammar, literature, log- ic, mathematics, world history, and American history. The test v. ' ill be almost entirely multiple choice, with few excep- tions, and the highest possible score on the qualifying test is 2000 points. The scoring is designed to prevent guessing at the answers. All juniors will be required to take the test. This test is intended not only to test the student ' s store of facts, but his skill as a student and his ability to reason well. To test the student ' s skill in studying there is a section on logic, another on abil- ity ot memorize, and a section dealing with reading comprehen- sion. Gallows To Be Given By History Students Mr. Leigh MacQueen, head of the History and Social Sciences De- partment, has decided to make new changes in his already historic room. Devices of execution and torture are planned by members of his European history class. Bill Pol- lard, a tenth grader, is construct- ing a scale model of the famous gallows used by the English dur- ing the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. One history student has promised a copy of the Magna Carta. An- other has promised a banner like that of the Queen of England. Bull Of The Woods o ANXIOUSLY AWAITING the train to Chicago are (1. to r.) Mr. Morelock, Doug Warren, Bill Jordan, Annual Editor Steve Crump, and Mr. MacQueen. Annual Editors And Advisers Travel To NSPA Conference Departing the afternoon of No- vember 27 for the National Scholas- tic Press Association Conference in Chicago were three members of the annual staff, one member of the paper staff, and the advisers to the annual. They travelled to Chicago to at- tend the N.S.P.A. convention on an- nuals and newspapers. The confer- , ence lasts three days. Those going were Steve Crump, Editor-in-chief i of the annual, Bill Jordan and Doug Warren, Assistant Editors; Mr. MacQueen and Mr. Morelock, ad- visers to the annual, and Bill Pol- lard, representing the newspaper. These six went to get new ideas on how to improve the MUS an- nual, the Owl, and the newspaper. The yearly convention is spon- sored by the National Scholastic Press Association, a nation-wide organization made up of high school and college annuals and newspa- pers. They sponsor a convention in which the journalists may meet, run displays, hear lectures, and dis- cus new trends in the field of jour- nalism. They also provide a rating service in which they judge the quahty of and make suggestions for the improvement of high school publications. Two years ago the newspaper staff attended the convention in Chicago. Jr. Owls Take First Tutoring Service Set Up By Seniors Seniors Frank Jemison and Brig Klyce have installed a new senior tutoring service this year, open to all boys in grades seven through twelve. The service has been highly approved by the school administra- tion, and is designed to aid both parents and students in obtaining good tutors quickly. Any boy who feels that he is de- ficient in American history, Eng- lish, math, science, French, or Spanish can contact Brig, Frank, Franklin Anderson, John Romieser, Kent Wunderlich, or Fred NieU. A tutor wiU then be contacted, hired, and sent to the boy ' s house. The price is $1.50 per hour; but, laments Frank, we stu- dents get nothing but personal sat- isfaction. Seniors Challenged The seniors at Lausanne chal- lenged the MUS Senior Owls to a football game about three weeks ago. The Seniors accepted, so, on October 12, the MUS Senior Owls met the seniors from Lausanne, known as the Lausanne Lions. The Owls, bolstered by speed in the backfield as well as a strong line, were favored heavily over the feminine opposition. This is the first game for the Seniors, for later in the year they will be pitted against the MUS faculty. A Christmas party was given for the Girls ' Club of Hurts Village by the MUS Student Council and Civic Service Club December 15. . Sid Caradine headed the project and supervised prepara- tions for the party. He also served as M.C, telling some of his famous jokes and leading the girls in a game of Sid Says. Fred Niell and Brig Klyce taught the girls folk songs while Richard Work played the piano. Dwight Drinkard appeared as Santa Claus toward the end of the party. He was plagued with pulled whiskers and slipping pillows since some girls refused to believe that he was really Santa. Cokes and cookies were served as refreshments at the party, which was held at the Girls ' Club home. Yet for many years past, this sort of activity would not have been sponsored by MUS students. The party is represen- tative of a change that has taken place in the student body, a change that has had amazing results. Three years ago students gave more to buy an Owl than they gave to the Red Cross. Last year, the trend was reversed in areas like the Red Cross and March of Dimes, and both activities were unusually successful. But this year the students have not only participated in activities that al ready exist, but have taken the initiative in helping others. Students who have participated in these activ- ities deserve much praise, but especially those who have gone to the trouble to initiate and direct activities.

Eight Girls, Three Boys To Lead MUS Cheering Eight girls and three boys will lead MUS cheering this year. Of the eight girls, six were cheerleaders last year. This is the first recent year that MUS has had boy cheerleaders. Martha Bowen, a senior at Hutchison, Jeanne Stevenson, a senior at St. Mary ' s, who was recently chosen teenager of the week and Gaye Gillespie and Lee Willey, Hutchison juniors, have all led the school in athletic cheering. Laurie Malone of Lausanne, also chosen teenager of the week, and Betty Wilson, who attends East High, were chosen co- -fcaptains this year. Both are seniors j who have had experience at lead- j ing the cheering. I Leading MUS ' s cheering for the I first time this year will be a Hutch- ison junior, Ginny Stevens, and Lisa McBurney, a sophomore at White Station. Both have two broth- ers attending MUS.

Fred Wolfe plays a large part- under the name of Luke — in his brother ' s novel. Look Homeward, Angel. Written about Thomas Wolfe ' s childhood in Asheville, North Caro- lina, Look Homeward, Angel is con- sidered by many critics to be the great American novel. Mr Wolfe, a retired sales man- ager, first began making talks about his brother when he spoke to Mr. William Hatchetfs class in American Literature at Furman University. He and Mr. Hatchett are good friends. The Seniors, who have just fin- ished reading Look Homeward, An- gel, are preparing questions to ask Mr. Wolfe, who is practically a character from a novel come to life. Fred Wolfe was older than Thom- as Wolfe. An excellent salesman, he could sell or auction anything, according to Look Homeward, An- gel. It was Fred Wolfe who got his brother started in selling news- papers and magazines. Although a novel. Look Home- ward, Angel is strongly autobio- graphical. Thus, while there is no certainty without asking Mr. Wolfe, many unusual incidents in the life of Luke may be real. Poll Reveols Bad Study Habits Most students study about four- fifths of the time they think they should study. A poll of upperclass- men by the newspaper shows this result and others. The average length of time spent on studies was about two hours. This varied from an hour and a half to three hours. When asked how long they thought that they should study, the average time was two and one-half hours. Again, this varied from an hour and a half to three hours. All those questioned used their own room for doing homework. The favorite position is in a chair at a desk, although some study in bed. One student put a board across the two arms of a large chair and used this arrangement for writing. I Concerning the radio and other distractions, the students were evenly divided. Some thought soft music soothed the mind and put the student in a better attitude for studying. One was indifferent to the radio. Others definitely thought the radio would hinder studying. On the question of weekend homework, nearly all students agreed that it was good. They con- sidered this a time to work c : term assignments. One boy I would rather have homev, I weekends than during the I All students agreed that ■, was the only day to do v homework.

This is the second year in which Mr. Nearn has been pre- sented with the honor. However, he refused to comment on his recog- nition. Mr. Nearn, now in his third year as an MUS teacher, received his B.A. from Tulane University with a major in English and a minor in Spanish and psychology. Last year, he was the counselor for the eighth grade and the seventh and eighth grade socoal advisor. He also chap- eroned the eighth grade trip to the Sugar Bowl and, according to those who went, he had quite a wild time. However, he is using his psychology outside of school this year. One student stated, I don ' t see why Coach Cooper didn ' t get Play- , boy of the Year. 1 Robbers Raid School by Gordon Greeson Unwelcomed guests paid a sur- prise visit to MUS Sunday night, December 12, and wrought havoc in the administrative offices. It was discovered Monday morning that robbers broke in the door by the biology and physics labs, using a rod of some kind to break through the glass and wire. They kicked out all the entrance doors in the office. They stole Mrs. Green ' s electric typewriter and some money, but could not open her locked cabinet. They took a dictaphone from Colonel Lynn ' s office, but failed to take the machine ' s vital parts from Mrs. Russell ' s desk. Mr. Strand ' s office was thoroughly rifled, but nothing was taken. Mrs. Russell and Miss Easum likewise reported nothing missing from their desks. However, a therma-fax machine, which has since been replaced, was stolen. The thieves also went to the cafe- teria, broke into the cookie and the soft drink machines. other did the easiest first. Several followed no pattern at all in doing homework. One always did French first. The value of study halls was an- other controversial issue. Some thought they were helpful. Others thought homework was easier to do at home. One even thought school ought to be shortened an hour by dismissing all study haUs. The poll reveals all students read their parallel reading assignments, but outside reading was another question. The number of books read outside of schoolwork varied from two to ten. Favorite authors in- cluded John Lennon, Ian Fleming, Dr. Seuss, Steinbeck, R. P. War- ren, Fowles, and Updike. I When asked about their hardest and easiest subjects, the students varied. The easiest were English, Algebra, and Senior Math. The hardest included Senior Math, Spanish, and French. All students agreed that school- work was more beneficial if it in- cluded homework instead of just in-class exercises. It helps the stu- dent to understand and compre- hend the subject more fully. half- and half again ' W Penniless With the football season over and the basketball season beginning, the football players seem to have gotten into the swing of the good life, once enjoyed by Hal. Since the first issue of Anderson ' s Manifesto came out before the fam- ous (censored) after the BGA game, I don ' t think it too late to ruminate on it. This unforgettable venture re- sulted in several frenzied attempts at rolling the capitol building and several leaks sprung by our boys from the roof of the Holiday Inn. And if you want to know the de- I tads of the game, just ask Fred. j Penniless has heard from many reliable sources that Gannon has given up chasing the ticket girl at the Park. What ' s the mat ter.

It seems that Dwight might start ; dating Gay again, but he might : have some trouble from Billy Web- I ster, the newest member in the j ranks of ' 66. i With the arrival of Thanksgiving holidays, many couples were hap- pily reunited. Phyllis arrived home. Paul, was particularly happy since he doesn ' t have to use his stand- ; ing — (Editor ' s note: At this point, the script became illegible.) at the Holiday Inn. Penniless woidd now like to ded i- cate a large portion of this column to the Senior Hayride. Although everyone arrived at the DoUahite ' s in fine spirits, for a while I was afraid Reid-abee wasn ' t going to make it. For some strange reason, he had numerous dates broken. How come, Reid? This year, the party was upstairs, so Sorrels decided not to go since he couldn ' t hide in the closet this time. We missed you, Jim. The atmosphere of that cool au- tumn air must have been too much for Johnny ' s loyalty to Betty. He seems to have developed a very intimate friendship with Susan. And Stratton wasn ' t doing bad with — (Again the script becomes unintelligible. Too bad, George.) Hank and Carla had their share of that atmosphere, too, I ' m sure. Fortunately, we can ' t ail have the luck they did. This was the case with Sid when he had a date with Tate. But Penniless is sure Sid ' s suave ways will prevail. FinpUy, I tliink it proper to warn Harold that there is a law against Penniless Administration Penniless WeU, the first semester has fi- nally ended and it looks as if we Seniors have nothing to worry I about now. Or do we? I hear that haK the class hasn ' t even applied to a college yet. Good luck fel- lows. 5 we leave those mX Dries of the summeij school year begins —one which will be the last foij most of us (maybe you, too, Bill); Penniless has every confidencei that our fine Senior Class won ' ij follow in the footsteps of those bei fore us — at least as far as thel commons room is concernedi ■ The Big Brother system is in effect I again this year. Most peculiarly, ii I was very difficult in one instan«i j to teU who was the senior and whc I was the seventh grader. How ' boulj I that, Scott? I Henry seems to have been sing Senior Class Ploced On Trial that, Paul? A certain Lausanne chick has been making the rounds with our Student Council lately. I hope you and Johnny can settle it peacefully with Susan, Henry. Penniless has heard from some- one that BuUwinkel has found a Lausanne deb, too. Isn ' t SomerviUe a little far to go parking, Bruce? Also, Romeiser is keeping busy at Lausanne looking for both day stud- ents and boarders. Two of our other bachelor bud- dies have been screeching off to- ward Lausanne lately, too. Wool- folk seems to be giving most of his attentions to a certain Annette Lit- tle, and Steele seems to be looking for better things after having lost Vicki Gilbert. Lausanne is not the only school capturing the hearts of our boys. It seems Reid-a-bee has finally found an I.C. babe that doesn ' t get sudden headaches. Congratulations, Reid. Billy Webster has been mak- ing the I.C. scene also — when not making it at Decaro ' s. For a whde, the secretive affair between George Smith and Joanne seemed to be hitting the rocks, but all ' s peacefully settled (?) now. After all George, what would love be without a few cuts and bruises? Steve finally gave up trying to give Lucy a Uttle sense (impossi- ble!). Penniless thinks that Jack Leach has brought him to new and more exciting things in Marion. Has he, Steve? and your mouth shut. I would likei to express my deepest sympathy to Paul, who has given up every thing to join the cross country team at MSCW. Now that Herbo has rejoined thel ranks of ' 66, his numerous midnight parties have resumed. Penniless hears that Kent and Christy are making the most of them and Sid ' s not lying idly by. As if Marsha weren ' t enough, Jim Sorrels is now trying to pick up girls at Clearpool, and I hear he is having a great deal of suc- cess. By the way, Stoy, on behalf of the class, Penniless would like to ask you to quit giving away your incomparable evaluations of thei opposite sex to JMS. Seems Howard has a girl-friendj in Atlanta that he ' s not saying too much about. Even calls her long distance. How are the Georgia peaches this year, Howard? Penniless would like to take thi opportunity to extend his congrati lations to Ed on his new p osition i the Dobbs House, Inc. Good Lucl Ed, and just don ' t play football ' with her. On inquiring on what ' s happening betweed Ferd and Jes- sica, Penniless learned that all is well and they just wanted to be free and date once or twice a week- Lei!s Go, Seniors v ConsmijtionTjiyes r resident veto h ' ower.
