HONOR COUNCIL Crawford Mcdonald, jr. Ford is the most honest person in school, or so his class thinks. Ford has been on the Honor Council for three years, and this year he was honored by being elected President of the Honor Council. Last year Ford was Features Editor on the Annu al and was chosen for Quill and Scroll. He has also been active in sports. For three years he has played basketball, and this year he is a varsity starter. Ford has also been one of the top players on the varsity tennis team for four years, and this year he tried his hand at cross country. Ford has also been active in clubs, being a member of both the Pep Club and the Hunting and Fishing Club. RAY EDGAR HIGGINS, JR. Ray was chosen Friendliest this year, perhaps because of his association with Ginny Stevens. He has served on the Honor Council since his Freshman year, and this year he was chosen vice-president. Besides this he was secretary of the Student Council. Ray ' s athletic achievements have been in track and cross country, and this year, as co-captain of the cross country team, he broke the existing school record for the cross country run. RANDOLPH THOMAS WELLFORD Randy is without a doubt one of the most popular students at MUS, and he is always among friends, Since the eighth grade, when he first met Coach Peters, Randy ' s athletic ability has been devoted to track and the cross country team. This year, as co-captain of both teams, he was a vital part of J err y and the Pacemakers. Randy was elected the Senior class rep- resentative to the Student Council, and he has put forth a first rate effort in making the council successful this year. 25

STUDENT COUNCIL JOHN HILLIARD PETTEY Not enough can be said about John. He succeeds in every- thing he attempts. In his Senior year his school gave him the greatest honor possible by electing him president of the Stu- dent Council, in which he has worked to raise the standards of the council tremendously. Also an excellent student, he is a member of the National Honor Society. John has received recognition in tennis by capturing the city singles championship in 1966. Outside school he has been active in the Junior Achievement program and is president of his company. His fellow Seniors voted him Most Likely to Succeed; we are all waiting for him to run for President of the United States. WALTER PAYNE SPRUNT III Walter can rightly brag about his being the Best All- Around Senior. He has lettered in three sports each year since he was a Sophomore. As co-captain of the football team, he has been called by Coach Rudolph one of the most dependable players in years, playing both offense and defense. Wally is a starter on the basketball team, displaying his superior defensive ability, and he is captain of the track team. For the last three years he has served on the Student Council. A member of the National Honor Society, Walter has been at the top of his class since he came to MUS in the eighth grade. MINOR CHARLES VERNON Minor has only been at MUS for three years, but in that time he has made his name well known among the student body. When he came here in the tenth grade, he fitted in marvelously. The next year he was elected the Junior class representative to the Student Council and was re-elected his Senior year. He has shown his outstanding leadership qualities during these two years of service. This year he was also chosen as one of the four boy cheerleaders. In sports, Minor has run track for two years, and Coach Peters says he is a fine sprinter. This year he was chosen as Most Popular in the Senior class. 24

ANDREW McCORMICK ACKLEN Andy transferred from East High this year so that he could join George. Andy has mixed in well and has learned quickly to find the Senior Commons Room, in which he shoots rotation everyday after lunch. While at East High, Andy was very active in sports, running track for three years. He has been a member of the Pep Club this year and has performed many activities for the club. WILLIAM WALLACE AYCOCK Bill is our Senior outdoorsman. Having been in the Hunting and Fishing Club since the ninth grade, he was elected its presi- dent in both his Junior and Senior years. If he is not at school, it ' s a sure bet that he is out hunting. Having played football for four years, Bill was perhaps the most versatile member of the team this year, playing in both the line and backfield. He has also served on the social committee for several years. STEPHEN LESLIE BAIN Steve was the Jim Taylor of the ' 66-61 football team, rewriting the record books at MUS. His most outstanding honors include his being selected for the all-county team and receiving honorable mention all-state. With his driving determination, he led MUS to a 7-3 winning season. Steve, also an excellent sprinter, has run track for four years. HUGH HUMPHREYS BOSWORTH, JR. Hugh has been very active around the school. As a Junior he was track manager and participated in both the Chess Club and the Hunting and Fishing Club. He was also an ac- tive member of the Civic Service Club, heading the Easter Egg Hunt last year. This year Hugh has been a hall monitor and has worked hard on the newspaper staff. He is one of those brave students that tries his best to take a MacQueen course. 26
