RICHARD LEE ESSEX Since his Junior year, Rick has been one of the most active students at MUS. He has been on the newspaper staff for sev- eral years and also a member of the Chess Club. After being an active member of the Pep Club for three years, he was elected secretary this year. His most outstanding honor was probably his being elected to the Student Council as Commis- sioner of Athletics. Even though Rick doesn ' t look much like an athlete, most of our home games couldn ' t have been carried out without Rick ' s help. JOEL ALBERT FULMER Joel has been on the undefeated MUS golf team. Since he lettered in the tenth grade, he has never been without his letter jacket. Joel shows his outdoorsmanship by being in the Hunting and Fishing Club. He has also tried his hand at writing by being on both the annual and paper staffs. He received a letter of commendation in the Na- tional Merit Scholarship Contest. If you ever forget what Joel looks like, all you have to do is look in the ad section; he ' s modest. MELVILLE McCLAIN GORDON, JR. This was McClain ' s year to act like Al Varner. McClain was elected as President of the Pep Club this year, and with this job he inherited a head- ache. But McClain has done wonders with the Pep Club. He has succeeded in building the treasury of the Pep Club to its greatest heights. McClain also gained the distinction of honorable mention in the National Merit Scholar- ship Contest. This year McClain was typing editor for the paper, annual, and MUSe. GORDON SPENCER GREESON, JR. This year ' s senior class has many outstanding individuals, but undoubtedly the most outstanding is Gordon Greeson. He has worked hard on the paper staff for several years and this year was chosen editor-in-chief of the Owls ' Hoot. Gordon was elected to the office of Treasurer of the Student Council. In sports, he has also made his name known. He has lettered in basketball for three years and will be most noted for his winning the Westwood game by sinking seven straight foul shots.
