Mr. Joseph R. Hyde, Jr. The staff of the Owl take pleasure in dedicating this an- nual to Mr. Joseph R. Hyde, Jr. As a member of the Board of Trustees since the school was re- established in 1954, Mr. Hyde has been active in the affairs of the school. The annual staff, in this small way, would like to express to Mr. Hyde the appre- ciation of the student body for his dedicated service, his loyal friendship, his leadership, and his generous support. He who brings beauty to the lives of men Needeth no tribute of recording pen. His deeds are engraved in a place apart, On the enduring tablets of the human heart. MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL . . . for students, especially younger ones, the environnnent they face here is new —but for all of us it is one of knowledge, thought, determination, and wit. Here lies the potential for a really full high school life for those who seek it. Here a taste of self-gained knowledge may tantalize the curiosity of a man. Here is a mixture which includes not only easy-going good times, but also frantic impatient moments: long lunch lines, pop tests, blind dates, forgotten Friday ties, lost nctes, no date, 8:20 trains, incomplete passes, Saturday morning practices. THE REAL SCHOOL . . . the many casual companions, the few lasting friends. For the most part these guys come and go, but whoever the friends and wherever the place, on cam- pus or off campus . . . Shoney ' s, Hi Boy, somebody ' s house, the club, the Twin . . . action and fun can always be found there. These are a part of our life and therefore a part of AAUS. COMPETITION . . . among friends, during sports, for girls, in classes, clubs, offices ... in itself does not build us. But the competition involved in our lives at AAUS drives us to develop - HE W Boi HAMBURGE!? k] M : j -Wi ' kj -JI THEME our individual talents and resources. Cre- ations of art and intellect, masterpieces of courage, and dexterity— to excel in life is a really good deal, and here we have the opportunities. We have an unusual school: small, good facilities (especially for sports), outstanding teams, exception- al teachers. This is where we are build- ing our public images and, perhaps, con- fronting and recognizing our private selves. This is where, in our last couple of years, we catch the first sights of life, forming dreams of greatness tempered by actual success and disillusionment. A TEAM . . . an academic team, an administrative team, even a baseball team . . . our teachers give us a glimpse of different men and women who have experienced life, checked it out, and now control their own lives to an extent we cannot fully realize. These teachers, who listen to us, call us down, instruct us, advise us, laugh with us, and allow us to go at our curious, wild schemes, are a part of us and a part of AAUS. ' 68 89. THIS SCHOOL . . . is listed as an educational institution, and education is a very definite part of MUS —it ' s our purpose for being here. But WE are the real school and something more than education holds us together and makes us better than any other school around . . . school spirit and pride, Coun- ty Champions, Clearpool, Clack dining hall, caravans, class wars, dates, hon- ors, bon-fires, Krystal, pep rallies, 1st place Shelby County, student riots, determination, parties, Shoney ' s, MUS could wipe your school off the court! , discipline, sweat, and smell of practices, fun, gloom, and criticism of defeat vs. glory and praise of victory. MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL . . . a seemingly endless road of classes- spotted with dances, meetings, weekends, games, summers— stretching into a day, a week, a year ... a school. MUg 4 10 DI9TIN6UI9HED TEACHER We, the Owl Staff, would like to publicly point out Coach Peters ' dedication to AAUS through his job as teacher and coach. Although he is one of the best teachers at MUS, we feel that during his eight years here his work with our junior high and varsity football, basketball, tr ack, and cross-country teams has been truly outstanding. Coach Peters ' year-round sacrifice of tinne and effort, going far beyond what is normally expected of a coach, is worthy of the commendation of all. As one of his athletes put it: He ' s easily the best coach in the area. 1 ADMINI9TRATI0N HEADMASTER Ross AA. Lynn was one of the busiest men at MUS this year. As a member of numerous school organizations, including the Board of Trustees of the National Association of Independent Schools, he traveled extensively. On his trips, he visited schools and colleges to talk v ith admissions people concern- ing their program and that of MUS, and often con- cerning MUS applicants. Some of his many responsi- bilities at school were the preparation and balancing of the school budget, the employment of new faculty members, admission of students, supervision of school publicity, and in general, the overall responsibility of the entire school. Dr. Lyrui was a founder of MUS in 1955 and has served since then as its Headmaster. He received his A.B. degree from Presbyterian College and his M.A. from the University of North Carolina. Presbyterian College honored him in 1951 with the granting of an LLD degree. BOARD OF TRU9TEE9 Rodney D. Baber, Sr. James K. Dobbs, Jr. Donald D. Drinkard William B. Dunavant, Jr. Nelson F.

Rembert, Jr. Robert G. Snowden Thomas H. Todd George Treadwell, Sr. Alexander W. Wellford James H. Wetter 13 ASSOCIATE HEADMASTER Doss Eugene Thorn spent a great deal of time helping students with their prob- lems. His responsibilities included holding discussions with students and parents, usually concerning class scheduling, college admissions, or student discipline. Mr. Thorn also directed the Student Guidance Pro- gram, under which teachers served as counselors to students. In addition to counseling, he was respon- sible for the scheduling of all classes and for pro- viding student tutors for those desiring aid in a sub- ject. ACADEMIC DEAN Leigh W. MacQueen was respon- sible for the coordination of the overall school cur- riculum. Mr. MacQueen, seeking to stimulate student academic interest by offering the best courses pos- sible, worked with the teachers in planning and or- ganizing new courses. He was also in charge of the Advanced Placement and Independent Study pro- grams. One of his big responsibilities was working with Miss Easum to provide statistical reports on stu- dents ' grades and national test scores, especially for college transcripts. Recently, he has been working on a special project— a ten-year projection of the needs of MUS. Mr. Thorn discusses college entrance requirements with senior Dan Fisher. Hard-at-work Academic Dean pauses to extend, greetings to the Annual photographer. 14 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS was Mr. Jacob Rudolph. Mr. Rudolph received his B.S. degree from Georgia Tech, where he was an All-American football player. The entire school athletic program, both interscho- lastic and intramural, fell under Mr. Rudobh ' s direc- tion. Some of his main responsibilities were the super- vision of the physical education program, the care and supply of athletic equipment, and the main- tenance of athletic facilities, particularly the golf course and swimming pool. Coach Rudolph draws up daily schedule of Phys. Ed. classes. The OFFICE STAFF was composed of Miss Mary Nell Easum, Mrs. Elton Green, and Mrs. Clark Kirby. The enormous amount of paperwork involved with the business of administration always kept them ex- tremely busy. In particular. Miss Easum worked with Mr. MacQueen in student affairs, Mrs. Green was financial secretary, and Mrs. Kirby served as personal secretary for the Headmaster. Miss Easum shows Invoice to Mrs. Green. ENGLI9H ELECTIVE8 PROVE 8UCCE88 When classes began in September, Juniors and Seniors had their choice of eight elective English courses, most of them one semester in length. This innovation proved extremely popular as students could study what interested them most, studying under a different teacher each semester. Mr. William Hatchett, Chairman of the English De- partment, received his B.A. degree from Southwestern at Memphis and his M.A. degree from Columbia Uni- versity. Chairman of the Humanities Committee was Mr. James Russell, who received his B.A. degree from Tulane University and his M.A.T. from Vanderbilt University. Other instructors were Mr. Melvin Cooper, A.B., Columbia College; Mr. David Smith, B.A., South- western at Memphis; and Mr. Arch McLaren, Jr., B.A. Vanderbilt University, J.D., Memphis State University. Mr. Hatchett taught two elective courses Shake- speare and English and American Romantics . Shake- speare students studied Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. The Romantics class studied numerous poets but concentrated on Wordsworth, Keats, Byron, and Shelly. Mr. Cooper taught a course entitled The Problem of Sin and Evil . The class studied in detail novels and plays examining the nature of evil, including works by Conrad, Dostoevsky, Hardy, and Dante. Man ' s Search for Utopia, the course taught by Mr. Russell, involved extensive study and discussion of the works and philosophies of Plato, Sir Thomas Moore, Sir Francis Bacon, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, B. F. Skinner, and C. S. Lewis. Mr. McLaren conducted a course in Modern Ameri- can Drama . Students studied the history of drama in America, but the emphasis was on extensive read- ing of plays. The class read three plays per week and studied one of them intensively in class. Among the plays studied were The Crucible, Death of a Sales- man, Desire under the Elms, and Who ' s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, which one class saw performed at Front Street Theater. The course taught by Mr. Smith, Man ' s Search for Himself , required reading of both fiction and non- fiction. Some of the works studied were The Old Man and the Sea, Hamlet, The Gospel According to St. Luke, and African Genesis. Probably the most demanding and interesting course was the Humanities, a two semester course taught by Messrs. Russell, Hatchett, Cooper, and Mac- Queen, along with occasional assistance from other members of the faculty. This extremely challenging course was an intensive study of Western Civilization from ancient Greece up to the present. Students ex- amined the way man has used his intellect over the past two thousand years to articulate a philosophy, to expound a religion, or to express himself in writing, music, painting, or sculpture. Among the numerous works of literature studied were the Oedious Trioloqy, Dante ' s Inferno, Hamlet, Tartuffe, Candide, The Sun Also Rises, and the Stranger. 16 Mr. AAcLaren muses over stu- Man ' s territorial imperative is subject dent ' s opinion. of Mr. Smith ' s lecture.

Mrs. Charles F. Higgs was Chairman of the Depart- ment of Foreign Languages. She holds a B.A. degree from Southwestern at Memphis and a M.A. degree from Bryn Mawr College. Other instructors were Miss Juanita Shettlesworth, Mrs. William Christenberry, and Mr. Jorge Antonio Saucedo. Miss Shettlesworth re- ceived her B.A. degree from Southwestern at Mem- phis and M.A. degree from Vanderbilt University, where she is presently working toward her Ph.D. in Spanish. Mrs. Christenberry received her B.A. de- gree from Memphis State University. Mr. Saucedo, a new teacher and a native of Brazil, graduated from Ouachita Baptist University with a B.A. degree. Courses in Latin combined study of the written and spoken language with a general survey of an- cient Roman history and government. Mrs. Higgs created a stimulating atmosphere through room dec- orations such as busts of famous Roman orators and pictures of ancient Roman edifices. Students main- tained bulletin boards with reports and magazine articles pertaining to some aspect of Roman culture. Some students built models of Roman buildings and war machinery, and a group of students even pre- sented a short play in front of a student assembly. Miss Shettlesworth and Mr. Saucedo conducted the courses in Spanish. Study of the history, geog- raphy, and life in Spanish-speaking countries supple- mented the study of grammar. Students in first and second year classes gave reports on subjects ranging from Spanish exploration of the New World to the effect of the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City on the Mexican people. More advanced students generally concentrated on reading selected short sto- ries, novels, and drama in Spanish. Mrs. Christenberry also followed the pattern of study which mixed grammar study with the study of civilization and culture. In addition to making class reports, students read translations of French literature and wrote critical analyses of what they read. Third year students progressed to reading short stories in French, such as La Bourgeois Gentil- homme. Two students from MUS participated in the Advanced Placement program in French at Lausanne School. The class was conducted entirely in French under the direction of Monsieur Suffren, a native of France. The A. P. students read French literature ex- tensively and wrote two term papers in French.

Directing this department was Mr. Leigh AAacQueen, Academic Dean. AAr. MacQueen received his B.A. degree from Southwestern at Memphis, and his M.A. from Memphis State University. Other members of the department were Mr. Jerry Peters, B.A., Southwest- ern at Memphis; Mr. Robert Pettit, B.S., Memphis State University; Mr. L. Daniel, Jr., B.B.A., Uni- versity of Mississippi; and Mr. Thomas Powell, B.S., Memphis State University. Geography, taught by Mr. Daniel and Mr. Powell, was a required course for seventh graders. The pur- pose of the course was to show the relationship be- tween people and place, emphasizing how and to what extent man has adapted to or modified his environment. Mr. Peters taught American Government and His- tory, a required course for eighth graders. Students studied the concepts and structure of government at all levels, how it operates, and how its powers are distributed. Geo-Politics, taught by Mr. Pettit was offered to ninth graders. The students made a survey study of the nations of the world, excluding Europe and the United States, attempting to understand the govern- ment, politics, and ways of life in each nation studied. Two elective courses offered to upper form students were Economics, taught by Mr. Daniel, and Modern European History, taught by Mr. Pettit. The Economics course was highlighted by talks by numerous guest speakers, including a labor union leader, a broker, a mortgage banker, and a mutual fund representative. European History students studied history from the seventeenth century on, considering the political, so- cial, and economic aspects of that history. Mr. Pettit also conducted two elective courses- international Politics and Russian History. International Politics students discussed international relations and how they are affected by world events. The Russian History course emphasized history since 1900, espe- cially since the Bolshevik Revolution. Students studied the Soviet society under Communism, the principles of .Marx and of Lenin, and the position of the Soviet man in the world today. One of the most interesting and demanding courses in school was American History, taught by Mr. Mac- Queen to juniors and seniors. In addition to hearing class lectures, students drew maps, read several books, and often discussed national issues relating both to past and current events. The course involved study not only of historical events but also of the philosophies of various leaders from the War of the Revolution up through the New Deal. Advanced Placement American History was basi- cally the same course as the regular course, but there was much more reading required. The students often held informal and formal discussions and debates, and they wrote an intensive research paper, all di- rected toward preparing them for the AP exam in May. Mr. MacQueen also conducted an Independent Study course in recent American History. Students in this seminar-type course met once a week for several hours at Mr. MacQueen ' s home, where they discussed the Crash of 1929, the Depression, World War II, and the administrations from Truman through Kennedy, including current events. Students led the discussion, forming and expressing their opinions in order to reach some conclusion. SCIENCES TAUGHT IN CLASSROOM AND LABS Science courses at AAUS this year, as in the past, emphasized extensive laboratory experimentation to stimulate stud ent interest and learning through in- dividual discovery. The Chairman of the Science Department was Mr. Robert F. Smith, v ho holds a B.A. degree from Michigan State University. Other teachers v ere: Mr. Rene Alberto Fuste, Mr. Charles L. Shurlds, and Mr. Thomas P. Powell. Mr. Fuste holds a B.S. degree from Baldor College, Havana, Cuba, and an A.E. de- gree from Havana University. Graduates of Mem- phis State University, Mr. Shurlds and Mr. Powell have B.S. degrees. Earth Science, taught by Mr. Powell, and General Science, taught by Mr. Shurlds, provided lower form students with a broad introduction to the sciences. Students in these courses gained a basic knowledge and understanding of the natural and man-made wonders of science. Physics-Chemistry, a required course for sopho- mores, presented a well-integrated survey of both physics and chemistry. The instructors, Mr. Smith, Mr. Fuste, and Mr. Shurlds, often performed experi- ments in front of the class, thus making sessions both interesting and enlightening. Physics-Chemistry was a valuable course to those students who intend to take further courses in the sciences as Juniors or Seniors. Chemistry and Physics offered studies in depth of both principles and concepts, their application, and their relevancy to the world of man. Taking advantage of the fine facilities at MUS, Messrs. Smith and Fuste had their students spending one-third of their weekly class time doing laboratory work, and some students spent extra time to work on indi- vidual projects. Classroom discussions and relevant films supplemented the lab work. Advanced placement courses in physics and chem- istry were offered, with students meeting in spe- cial sessions to discuss more advanced subjects and to perform more complex experiments. A. P. Chemis- try, taught by Mr. Smith, entailed around four hours of laboratory work per week. Lewis B. O ' Keiiy, a professor of Nuclear Physics and Electrodynamics at Memphis State University, was the instructor for Ad- vanced Placement Physics. Occasionally, the class used the facilities at Memphis State, once to observe radiation and polarized light phenomena. Both cours- es prepared students well for the Advanced Place- ment Exams and possible further advanced study in college. Mr. Fuste points out a student ' s error. 22 Mr. Smith helps A. P. students Langdon and Johnson set up distillation apparatus. Mass variation at velocities approaching the speed of light is discussed by Mr. O ' Kelly. Mr. Shurlds explains determination of pressure to 10th Phys- Chem class. 23 MATHEMATIC9 The study of mathematics, engaged in by practically every student, was directed toward giving the stu- dents a sound training in the techniques of mathe- matical thinking and a thorough understanding of the basic structure of mathematics. Courses ranged from general mathematics to calculus and analytic geometry. There was also an Independent Study course for seniors who were qualified to take Calculus but who did not wish to do so. The four students planning to take the AP exam studied Calculus for three semesters. The Department of Mathematics was directed by Mr. Evin Perdue, who received his B.S. degree from Southwestern at Memphis and his M.A. degree from Memphis State University. Other instructors were Mr. John Springfield, B.A., Southwestern at Memphis, M.F.A., Princeton University; Mr. James E. Wright, B.S., George Peabody College; and Mr. Grady Gar- rison, B.A., Vanderbilt University. Proiecfion of Mr. Perdue ' s hand looms ominously over Senior Math class. Mr. Springfield goes over problem with junior Phil Crawford. 24 Mr. Garrison presents problem to Geometry class. Progress report grades capture attention of AAr. Wright ' s Algebra II students. RELIGION Courses in Religion were conducted by one man- Mr. Challace Joe McMillin. A graduate of Southwest- ern at Memphis, Mr. McMillin holds a B.S. degree. The seventh grade Bible course was a genera! survey of the Old afid New Testaments, with emphasis placed on why and how the Bible was written rather than on its recorded events. Mr. McMillin took this intellectual approach in order to help the students learn to enjoy the Bible with the mind and with the heart, through a deep understanding of its purpose and meaning. The ninth graders studied the history of the Church from New Testament times up to the present. This study required about three quarters to complete. The last quarter was spent learning Re- ligious Guidelines in Sex Morality. This frank and open discussion concerning sex was especially in- teresting and worthwhile to the student. Mr. McMillin awaits arrival of students. IB .Ak SB rilB Assistant librarian Miss Huckaba goes over new book list with Miss McCorkle. READING Mrs. John D. Eldridge, III, B.A. from Vanderbilt and M.Ed, from Emory, was in charge of the reading development program at MUS. The program was de- signed to aid able students as well as those experi- encing academic difficulty. Those who participated were taught to increase their reading rate, imprave their comprehension, and sharpen their study attack. As a result, most of the students learned to produce more and better work in a given period of time. LIBRARY Because of the enthusiastic hard work of Miss Edna McCorkle (B.A., Memphis State University), the MUS library has been transformed into a workable refer- ence center, wherein the conscientious student may study, do research work, or relax quietly while en- joying a magazine or newspaper. The Library was run successfully as a library should be run, and the increased student participation during all periods of the day attribute to Miss Corkle ' s efficiency, as well as to her overall popularity. Under the MUS fund drive, plans are under way for a new Library and Learning Center. Improvements in library educational facilities will include tapes, micro-films, audio-visual equipment, electronic equipment, music room and art display, as well as an increased number of fine books. 26 CAFETERIA 9TAFF Mrs. Etta Bernard was the school dietician this year, replacing Mrs. Soldan who was forced by illness to leave. Mrs. Bernard immediately set out to improve the meals and to try to please as many of the students as often as possible. She also pre- pared meals for the various dinners and banquets held at school during the year. Mrs. Bernard plans menu for coming week.

' V 29 Thomas Carmth Adams Tommy has made the most of his single year here at school since he moved from Houston. By being ready to take part in various activities and by making many new friends, he has quickly fitted into school life. On the Football team, Tommy has played in the backfield; he has been captain of the MUS ' s 1st competitive volleyball team; and he has been involved with the Social Commit- tee and the Bridge Club. Smilie ' s favorite pastime is studying, especially math and women. George Latto Alissandratos George-the-Greek was busy this year with both foot- ball and Annual work. He served as The Owl ' s Assistant Editor and achieved membership in the National Honor Society, and Quill and Scroll. When he wasn ' t too busy, he was active in the Pep Club and March of Dimes Drive. George spends his time equally among football, girls, and pool. George ' s persistency and reliability have con- tributed much to the Annual ' s success in meeting its deadlines and the football team ' s impressive record. 30 Regenald Sedburry Aycock In addition to serving as secretary to the Hunting and Fishing Club, Reg has participated in the Pep Club, the March of Dimes, and the Fine Arts Club, as well as serving on the Newspaper staff. AAuch of his free time is spent outdoors in camping and hunting, both of which activities he enjoys very much. You can always find Reg in the Commons Room, over the pool table, exercising his considerable talent with a cue. Clyde Anthony Billings Jr. Clyde ' s interests at AAUS have been of a diversified nature. He has participated in Track and Cross-Country while active in the National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Newspaper, Bridge Club, and the Latin Club. His hard work has been rewarded by election to various offices, such as president of the National Honor Society, vice-president of the Quill and Scroll, associate editor of the Newspaper, treasurer of the Senior Class, and presi- dent of the Latin Club. Clyde ' s hobbies are golf and bridge, and his proficiency at both shows his enjoyment in his leisurely activities. John Barry Blumberg Barry, sometimes referred to as Sugar Bear, is best known to all for his great contribution to the Golf team. What few people do know, however, is that he holds the school record for the lowest score ever shot. Barry ' s other talents are his fabulous card playing and his ability to find a partner. His other interests include the Pep Club, Bowling, March of Dimes, and the Bridge Club, of which he was president. 31 Millard Moore Bosworth II Mill has accomplished much while at MUS. Most of his efforts have been directed toward the field of litera- ture. In addition to writing articles for the Muse, he has worked for the Newspaper, and attained the position of assistant editor. His interests have manifested themselves in the Latin Club, the Hunting and Fishing Club, the Astronomy Club, the Quill and Scroll, and the National Honor Society, in which he was elected secretary. Mill ' s favorite pastime is athletics, but he will be remembered most for his lunch excursions to the various nearby drive-ins. Robert Allan Caldwell Hailing from the sprawling rural metropolis of Proctor, Arkansas, Big Bob will always be remembered as an avid fan of Razorback football. This, however, did not con- sume all his time since he was a member of the Bridge Club and Red Cross. In addition to playing Varsity Basket- ball for 3 years, Bob was a member of the Student Council Election Committee as a Senior. Bob will be re- membered for his brilliant, adept card playing— poker, si; bridge, no. Henry Nelson Cannon Henry has been one who was always ready with a joke or mischievous trick. He professed that his pastime was daydreaming. This may have been true in school, but, as anyone at MUS would say, Henry was far from a day- dreamer when it came to playing basketball, or football, in which he was a successive letterman on both teams with three letters in basketball and two in football. Henry also participated in the March of Dimes, was a member of the Civic Service Club, the Chess Club, the Bridge Club, and the Hunting and Fishing Club. 32 Charles Emory Chapleau Charlie ' s greatest achievement has been his election to the Student Council presidency and the success he then experienced as head man. As a starting guard he helped our football team clinch its first undefeated, untied season. Active in the Hunting and Fishing Club, National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, and Social Committee, he has also written articles for the Annual and Paper Staffs. Charlie enjoys all sports, his car, girls, and parties, but parties most of all. Kenneth Fisher Clarke During Ken ' s tv o years at MUS he has strived to dis- tinguish himself in both academic and extra-curricular areas. His work for the Muse has been outstanding. After one year on the Muse ' s art staff, he was appointed as the Editor-in-Chief. The first of the Brownsville contingent to graduate. Ken has distinguished himself in youth work and is well-known for his remarkably even temperament. Michael Bryan Coop Mike ' s athletic abilities have been shown by his enor- mous contributions to the teams of AAUS. He has played football and basketball, with great proficiency at both. Mike ' s other activities include the Chess Club, Red Cross, Social Committee, Hunting and Fishing Club, Skin Diving Club, and the Student Council of which he was elected Vice-president. Football and basketball are Mike ' s favorite hobbies, thus explaining his great abilities. But Mike will probably be best remembered for handling all situations with great calm, particularly removing horses from the road with the bumper of his car. David Hammond Cunningham A member of the Tennis team for five years, David has exhibited a gung-ho spirit in all the extra curricular areas in which he has participated. These areas include the Fine Arts Club, of which he was vice-president. Pep Club, Bridge Club, Office Staff, Paper Staff, and Tennis team. Country ' s enthusiasm for tennis, his number one sport and hobby, has been shown to us by his team competi- tion during the school year and by his tournament play in the summer. John George Dando In addition to serving as secretary of the Photography Club, John has participated in junior-high and senior Football and Bowling. His other activities have included the Pep Club, Civic Service Club, Chess Club, Office Staff, and Paper Staff. Hunting, fishing, and shooting pool fill John ' s extra minutes in and out of school. His fame has rested first in his pool shooting (remember his ever- present rosewood cue stick). His second area of fame, his athletic prowess, reached its height when one of his crushing tackles broke Witherinton ' s leg. Robert Thurston Davis Bob, or Barbs as he is called by his friends, is always moving from one activity to another. In school, most of his time is taken up by various clubs, organizations, and Sports. For the ' 64, ' 65, and the ' 66 AAUS football season he held down a guard ' s slot on the team. This year, although unable to play. Barbs was still found with the team during both practice and game time. In addition to his athletic achievements he has been treasurer of the Hunting and Fishing Club, on the Newspaper and Annual staffs, a member of the March of Dimes, the Letterman ' s Club, the Pep Club and the Social Committee. James Edward Timothy Dwight Jim appeared on the AAUS scene for the first time this year when he came to us from New York. A member of the Bridge Club and March of Dimes Drive, he also contributed his efforts as head editor of the senior section of the Annual. His work on the seniors has been a great help since that section ran into trouble with its editors. Hunting, playing cards, skiing, and playing pool have taken up Jim ' s spare time, but he is usually seen among pool tables boasting that he can beat anyone in rotation ... on a good day. 35 Randy Everette Estes Randy has supported and participated in an unusually large number of school activities. His most distinguished membership is that in the National Honor Society. Besides working on the Newspaper, Office, and Typing Staffs, and participating in the Astronomy, Bridge, Civic Service, and Skin Diving Clubs, he has been on the Golf and Bowling teams. Randy can usually be found in the gym or on the field enjoying his favorite sport and exhibiting his athletic ability. Richard Alan Feinstein Richard ran Junior and Senior High track and played Junior High and Varsity Football. However, his interests turned towards the Golf Team in his senior year. While at first glance his contributions may seem to have been primarily athletic, his efforts have been equally directed to other areas. He has been a Pep and Photography Club member, and as many know, he has worked on the Office staff. Richard hunts in the wilds as a hobby and around town as an occupation for which he kept in shape by his unblemished phys. ed. performances. William Bert Ferguson Bill, better known as being one of the five boy cheer- leaders and captain of the Track team, has been quite active at AAUS. He has been involved in the Pep Club, the Student Council, Track, Cross-Country, the Newspaper, the Letterman ' s Club, the Quill and Scroll, the National Honor Society, and the Annual, of which he was editor. Bill has also taken an interest in his church by participat- ing in Young Life and was elected bouncer. His hob- bies include hunting, camping, swimming, and handball. Even though Bill is a relatively quiet boy, he has been known to attempt almost anything, especially in his trusty jeep. 36 Daniel Franklin Fisher Jr. Dan has been quite active in all phases of school life. in addition to Varsity Football, Dan was business editor of the Annual and a member of the National Honor Society. Also, he was in the Hunting and Fishing and Pep Clubs. Dan wants to be remembered for the successful maga- zine and ad campaigns, which he directed, but knows he will be best remembered for his last minute unchap- eroned parties. David Qlocum Gingold Dave joined us in the tenth grade, but since then he ' s been a pretty busy boy. He decided to go out for Basket- ball this year after making it as an all-county back in Foot- ball. Dave was art editor of the Owl ' s Hoot and achieved membership in the Skin Diving, Letterman ' s, and Fine Arts clubs. Also active in the Pep Club and March of Dimes Drive, Dave has given assistance to the Chapel Committee in planning its programs. 37 Lloyd JameQ Gordon Lloyd has been involved in various activities at AAUS. Among these activities have been the Civic Service Club, Pep Club, Student Council, Social Committee, and Athletic Committee. He also has been a cheerleader and a hall monitor. His civic contributions have included the March of Dimes, Red Cross, and the Saint Jude Teenager ' s March. Lloyd ' s hobbies consist of tennis, dancing, girls, and other pleasurable pursuits. His ability to hold his own on all occasions has made Lloyd one of the more popular members of the senior class. Fred Groskind Fred transferred to MUS during mid-term of his Sopho- more year, but in a few short years he has accomplished much. He quickly became well known and liked and was elected Honor Council Representative in his first year at MUS. Playing only one semester of basketball in his Junior year, Fred was selected to the All-County second team. This year he has served as captain of the basketball team and has been its leading scorer. His athletic dex- terity has also been shown in tennis as he led the team to its first state championship, while Fred captured first place. A true scholar-athlete, he is a member of the Na- tional Honor Society. Fred ' s only weakness is his sen- sitivity to kidding. Since everyone else gives Fred grief, we will refrain here. 1 38 H Wilson Williamson Haizlip By his inherent fun loving nature, Wilson has kept attention focused on the humorous side of life at AAUS. His acid wit has played a large part in adding laughs to the infamous chapel skits. The fact that his boisterous na- ture didn ' t hamper his extracurricular activities contrib- uted greatly to everyone who encountered him at school. He has participated in the Civic Service Club, helping them with their campaigns, which have included the Heart Fund and the March of Dimes. In addition to this work, he has also been in the Spanish and Skin Diving Clubs. Alan Newton Hastings Alan, an active member of the Engineering Club, has also been a terrifying star of the phys. ed. football and basketball teams. A good student, Alan has been ac- cepted as an applicant for the U.S. Naval Academy. He has been vi idely known for his curious diseases which he contracted every Monday. However he somehow always found the strength to rise from his death bed to come to school on Tuesday. Could there be a connection between his return to school and half price day at Shoney ' s? Robert Alan Hoffmeister Bob was one of the newer additions to the senior class at MUS. During his year at MUS, Bob has joined the Skin Diving Club and was feature editor for the school news- paper, the Owl ' s Hoot. Electronics and hunting comprise the hobbies in which Bob is most interested. The impres- sion Bob leaves the school with is one MUS will always remember, as he drives off into the sunset in the most highly insured ' 57 Chevy with a tiger skin steering wheel. 39 Bmce Bond Hopkins Since coming to AAUS three years ago, Bruce has been extremely active in school organizations. For the past two years Bruce has been President of the Civic Service Club and has directed the March of Dimes drive. He also helped the Pep Club with their skits this year, served as a hall monitor, and worked in the office. Outside of school Bruce devoted considerable time acting as social secretary for Club Whitehead. Thomas Hays Hutton Jr. Tom has been active at AAUS in clubs, sports, and or- ganizations as well as in off-campus activities. After serv- ing on the Honor Council for four years, he was elected its Vice-President. He has played Junior High and B-team basketball and has run track, but his favorite pastime was playing Hooker Hood on the drag strip. Tom ' s affection for cars has been equaled by his interests in traveling and scuba diving. He was president of the Skin Diving Club. Ernest Easley James Ernie, alias the toe , was a big asset to this year ' s football champions. Although the team usually scored so many touchdowns that the points after touchdowns were not crucial, Ernie ' s kicks were on target, just in case the points were needed. Ernie has also participated in the Civic Service Club and the Skin-Diving Club. When not playing football during his free time, Ernie occasionally gives pool lessons. 40 Thomley Camthers Jobe Jr. Thornley has spent his two years at AAUS participating in various school activities. In addition to serving as Stu- dent Council Chaplain, Thornley was an associate editor of the newspaper, and a member of the AAUSe staff. He also was in the Bridge Club and the Chess Club. Perhaps Thornley will be best remembered for the old fashioned sideburns which grew over the Christmas Holidays. Harry William9on Laughlin The amazing thing about Wis is his wide variety of in- terests— Wis enjoys doing just about everything. Besides playing football for the last two years, Wis has been a member of the Electronics Club, Bridge Club, and Hunting and Fishing Club. He was also co-chairman of the Junior magazine drive and served as a hall monitor and a tutor. Wis can usually be found somewhere between Lausanne and his office . . . Joseph Edgar Moser Ed has been at MUS for two years, during which time he has been a member of the Hunting and Fishing Club, Typing Staff, Civic Service Club, and Newspaper. His favor- ite hobbies include hunting, pool, and extraordinary card games at his house. The basketball team seems to have been the main victim of the great proficiency with which Ed plays the games of chance. Being the type of fellow who likes to keep in touch, Ed will always be heard of in the years to come. i III Henry Hahn Myar Having played basketball and run track since the ninth grade, Henry has been a member of the Letterman ' s Club for the past two years. His work on the AAUSe and Paper Staffs and on the Pep Club has been complimented by his election to the Commissioner of Student Welfare spot and his appointment as both Assistant Manager of the Annual and Magazine Drive Chairman. Henry is famous for his cool in any situation and can always laugh at himself, even when he loses it. 42 i u Michael O ' Brien Mike walks around school smiling in the knowledge that he is putting the whole school on. His classmates think that he is the shy studious type, but his close friends know him as a guy with definite convictions on his surroundings and people with whom he is in contact. Mike is fairly active in school. He was the president of the fine arts club in the 10th grade and a member of the skin diving and philosophy clubs in the 12th grade. As a senior, he was also on the newspaper staff and a librarian. Luther Curtis Ogle III Although Curt has taken advanced courses and kept up good grades, he has still shown his interest in our sports teams through support and actual participation. Besides Junior High Football and basketball and B Team Bas- ketball, he has run Varsity Track and Cross-Country and has given his efforts to the Photo, Bridge, and Letterman ' s Clubs, Annual Staff, and Election Committee. Curt ' s most distinguished feat came when he captained the Cross- Country to its first and last Shelby County Champion- ship in the school history. Wilburn Wiley O ' Neal Wiley has been an outstanding athlete on both the Football and the Track Teams since his freshman year. His outstanding play as a co-captain of our first undefeated football team has been capped this year by his receiving a football scholarship and All State honors as a linebacker. Success also accompanied him throughout his four years as a member of the Track Team but especially when he placed fourth in the state meet in the Shot Put. It is often said that the true test of a man ' s character is the esteem in which he is held by his peers. The fact that he was elected treasurer of the Honor Council speaks for the respect Wiley has earned at MUS. 43 William McRee Patterson Bill, often called Pitter-Patterson, has made his mark at MUS in various ways. He has participated in a great number of varied activities. He has been a member of the Paper Staff, the Fine Arts Club, the Pep Club, the Skin Diving Club, March of Dimes, Heart Fund, St. Jude ' s Chil- dren ' s March, and the Civic Service Club of which he was elected Secretary and Treasurer. Bill ' s most demanding and most successful contribution to the school has been as manager of the football team. Ernest Coulter Patton Coulter has been at MUS for only two years, but in that short time he has become well-known and well-liked. He made a name for himself in track where he took third place in the long jump at the County meet. Being in- eligible in his Senior year. Coulter has devoted his time to. the Pep Club and the Letterman ' s Club. In addition to athletics. Coulter has spent many weekends in Heber Springs fishing for largemouth bass. Samuel Reynolds Pepper Sam was always considered a cross country and track star, but his real peak at athletic success came when he joined the ' 67 football team. In only one year ' s play, Sam became a leading scorer and, with his powerful runs, helped lead the team to an undefeated year and the county championship. He also found time to participate in the Hunting and Fishing Club, Chess Club, and Let- terman ' s Club when he wasn ' t terrorizing on his cycle. 44 I Allen Warner Phelps. Jr. Warner has been exceedingly active in certain areas around school. He has been on the newspaper and typing staffs for three years each, and on the Annual Staff for the past two, as well as six years in the Electronics Club, of which, in his senior year, he was president. Copy ed- itor for the paper, and typing editor for the typing staff, he has still found time to be in the Senior Rocketry Club and the Astronomy Club, in the civic service field, Warner has participated in the March of Dimes. He is often seen in the Commons Room or puttering around the lab. Joseph Walter Pinner. Jr. Joe ' s interest in things scientific has led him to be- come a mad scientist, and he can usually be found in the lab or Commons Room. A member of the National Honor Society, and Vice-President of the Electronics Club, Joe has also been on the Annual and Paper staffs, as well as an Office Aid. Famous for his enigmatic smile and outgoing manner, Joe has made a real contribution to MUS. 45 William 9herman Pollard A Chess, Bridge, and Astronomy Club mennber. Bill has also worked on the Paper staff, during his senior year, and has held down the position of copy editor on the Paper. He was President of the Bridge Club. Bill ' s induction into the National Honor Society only partially evidenced his superlative academic ability, which was more fully realized when he came up with two eight hundreds on his college boards. Noticeable among his traits have been his deep, highly intellectual humor and his profound arguments and comments. 9tephen Herbert Rhea Jr. Steve Diamond Rhea appeared in the eleventh grade wearing his new desert boots . . . and he kept wearing them throughout his junior and senior years. His beaming personality quickly won his fellow classmates ' friendship. He is known for his ability to play many musical instru- ments including the guitar, bass, drums, harmonica, and piano. He has played in several bands including the Pep Band. He is best known for his drum smashing exhibition during the Christmas Future performance. He was in the Pep Club and the artist for the Muse. 46 Gilbert Amos Robinson An avid hunter, especially of d eer, Bert is the owner of the Land Rover that has become a familiar part of our school life. Directing his efforts towards the Pep Club for two years, he was appointed its secretary in his senior year. He has managed the Junior High Football Team, and served on the March of Dimes, Red Cross, and as a repre- sentative on the Magazine Drive. Bert has been best known for the closed swimming parties in his private pool. James Aubrey Robinson Jr, Jimbo ' s talent is primarily in the area of music, his favorite hobby, but his interests have been distributed to other activities as well. He has been in the Pep Club, Bridge Club, National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Pep Band, and on the Annual Staff as section editor for the past year. Between studying and participating in these various organizations, Jimbo has found time to be helpful to both the football team and basketball team as a man- ager of years past. As can be seen, Jimbo has made con- tributions in the areas of scholastics and citizenship at MUS. But he will best be remembered for being himself, unknown to modern man. Thomas Howard Robinson Tommy returned to MUS in his Senior year and his old stomping grounds. His humor, as sharp as ever, often broke the monotony of endless tirades that the students are submitted to. The combination of school spirit and wit can produce some very unusual situations. During one of these instances. Tommy found himself decked in a wig and a size 40 dress cheering at the Homecoming football game. He was a member of the Bridge Club and Co-Chairman of the March of Dimes. 47 William Noble Qammons Bill has been very active in the student publications de- partment at MUS. He has been the News Editor, Associate Editor, and Editor-in-chief of the MUS school paper, The Owl ' s Hoot. In his spare time he has participated in Track, has been on the Office Staff, and has been treasurer and president of the Astronomy Club. Bill ' s rather unique laugh will be remembered by all those who know him. Louis Peter 9chutt Jr. Peter has been a very sportsminded Owl. He was on the junior high basketball team in the 9th grade and man- aged varsity basketball in the 10th grade, and varsity football in 10th and 11 th grades. He was active in clubs as a member of the Bridge, Pep, and Skin Diving Clubs and was copy editor of the paper staff (11). He also had time to be in the pep band and play bass guitar in two groups in high school. Peter is one of the friendliest guys in the senior class and is most famous for his animal killing. Richard Arnold Sneed Rick, the Moose, has the honor of being one of the more appropriately named seniors. The grace with which he walks is a sight everyone enjoys. Rick has been active in various organizations while at MUS. Among these organizations are the Newspaper, Annual, Track Team, and the Pep Club, of which he was elected president. A good deal of Rick ' s popularity came from his ability to produce some of the more phenomenal shot-put and discus rec- ords, and, as can be imagined. Rick was a co-captain of the Track Team. His hobbies include pool, women, and anything that is available, to put it in his own words. 48 Cleo Wilson Stevenson Jr. A member of the National Honor Society, Steve has participated in many activities, both on and off campus. He served on the Annual Staff for two years and the Paper Staff in the tenth grade. This year he was the Organization Editor for the Annual. In his junior and senior years. Pep Club activities, especially the Pep Band and preparing pep rallies, commanded much of Steve ' s attention. He served on the March of Dimes drive for two years and organized the drive to help a needy family during Christmas. Steve will be remembered for his fine taste in women and many more unmentionable things. Robert Lamb Sullivan Jr. Bob is best known for his adeptness at dating Lausanne girls. Although known as a great lover. Bob has distin- guished himself in combat, as his pass catching record clearly showed after the junior-senior football game. He has played golf on the team for two years during which he was constantly one of the top five. In addition to help- ing with the chapel services he also worked on the St. Jude ' s and the March of Dimes Drives. Charles Curtis Taylor Curt has participated in many sports in his six years at MUS. He has been on the football team four years be- ing co-captain in his senior year. Along with football he has run track, been on the swimming team, worked on the library staff, and was active in the Pep Club. Curt can easily be recognized by the ever-changing letter jacket he sports on his ever-changing dates. Charles 8wift TreadwelL Jr A Working man. Swift has been quite a lively fellow in spite of his job. Junior High Basketball and Track, Li- brary Staff service, and Student Council and Social Com- mittee activities have all testified to his standing among his schoolmates and constitute the basis for his greatest honors, nomination for Student Council president and elec- tion as Senior Class President. Swift also managed to squeeze in time for hunting and other pleasurable pas- times. 50 i Raymond Eugene Turman, Jr. Ray, one of our commuters from Mississippi, has com- peted on the Golf Team and has held down memberships in the Latin Club, the French Club, and the Hunting and Fishing Club during his two years here at MUS. Besides these activities, he likes to spend some of his remaining time playing golf and coming to school. Ray is infamous among the seniors as the pool shark never to be challenged. Waddy West Returning to MUS this year, Waddy has participated in track and cross-country. In addition to his running ability, he was the football statistician, a Red Cross representative, and a member of the Pep Club, the Letterman ' s Club, and the Civic Service ' Club. Easily recognized by his trim haircut, Spit-Waddy will be remembered at MUS for his contribution that he made here in earlier years in sports, especially football, basketball, and track. William Gary Whitehead III Cary ' s contributions to MUS have been primarily in the area of athletics. In the one football game Cary played entirely, he made such a fabulous showing that he be- came Player of the Week. Basketball, Hunting and Fishing Club, and the Social Committee are other areas in which Cary ' s efforts have been in evidence. He was elected president of the Hunting and Fishing Club and has spent a good deal of time hunting. Cary will be greatly missed as with him goes the key to Club Whitehead — South, East, Mobile, and on the beach. Terry Allen Wilson Terry has managed bands, but around campus he has been known as the manager of the football team. Besides around the pool table, he most frequently spent his lei- sure time with his guitar; Terry ' s specific school activities concerned his membership in the Latin, Letterman ' s and Dramatic Clubs and his service on the office staff, and March of Dimes Drive. Douglas Lindsay Winters in addition to his efforts on the Newspaper Staff, Typ- ing Staff, Civic Service Club, and Hunting and Fishing Club, Doug had collected for the March of Dimes and has observed the stars in the Astronomy Club. He said that hunting is his preferred pastime, but visiting his friends in Bartlett and vicinity runs a close race. Doug ' s most re- markable characteristic has been his ability to come up with such profound statements throughout his long stay here at school. John MoClanahan Witherington John helped the school in such ways as hall monitor and official Office staff chauffeur for the MUS to Hutchison art class. He worked on several school parties as a member of the Social Committee. John ' s junior high football career was broken off in its early stages, but he has remained one of the most active participants in the Pep Club. Besides serving as treasurer for the club, he has gained a widespread reputation among MUS students as the cheerleader with all the gusto. John has a variety of distinct characteristics, which include his hunting and fishing ability, his Firebird, and his rececling hairline. 52 Richard MacNaughton Work Richard has been extremely active in all phases of school life. Besides being a varsity basketball statistician, he has been scoreboard operator at both football and basketball games. He served as the faculty section editor for the an- nual, worked on the newspaper, tutored students in math and was a member of the National Honor Society and of the Quill and Scroll. Richard also served as vice-president of the Latin Club and participated in the Astronomy and Bridge Clubs. For the past three years Richard played the piano for chapel services and the Student Council Christ- mas Party, and he was the accompanist for the school play, The Fantasticks. Claud Frank Yates As the Vice-president of the Pep Club, Frank has taken on the role of the school ' s spraypaint and poster-man, be- ing responsible for most of the signs in the halls and at the games. In other fields, he has been a member of the Fine Arts Club and the Civic Service Club and has collected for the March of Dimes and the Red Cross. Frank likes to draw and play pool in his beautiful sprawling mansion in the Overton Park Zoo. Zeno Ames Yeates Sportswise Amos-de-famous has gone out for Junior High Football, track and cross country, and, otherwise, he has been a Dramatics, Coin, and Civic Service Club member and a March of Dimes and Red Cross worker. While playing drums and hunting are his first of hobbies, Ames has spread his witty style through the Senior class and the school. He holds that his most reputable contributions to the school have been good looks, great personality, suave debonair actions, and, we must add, his duckwalk. 53 WHO ' 9 WHO Swift Treadwell, Frank Yates, Charlie Chapleau, Bill Pollard, (not pictured Ken Clarke).

Faculty and students alike find ways of occupy- ing every spare moment in fun and recreation. Water guns in the fall, snow fights in the winter, and yo-yos in the spring— and then there are a few legal pastimes, such as tennis, swimming, or just drinking a coke with some friends. There are clubs to join, committees to work on, and plenty of things to do to help the school, all of which adds up to just one thing— MUS is a busy place. 9CH00L 9PIRIT Support for varsity athletics runs high at MUS— everywhere from pep rallies in chapel to attendance at games. Some of ' em you win, some you lose, but the students are always behind the team. Who can ever forget— the skits in chapel— the girl cheer- leaders who cheered— the boy cheerleaders who didn ' t— after the game dances— after the after the game dances— student council hot dogs left over from last week ' s student council hot dogs— and visiting teams ' renditions of the Star Spangled Banner (yes, that ' s what it was)— These are all little things, but the little things that make MUS what it is. BA9KETBALL MARATHON MUS broke the all time world record for the longest continual basketball game— their time— 32 hours and 19 seconds There were no substitutes— the same ten boys played the full time, taking only the standard quarter and halftime breaks. The players, by teams: Randall Caldwell Ray Higgins Bob Parish Randy Wellford Richie Wilson — vs— Mike Coop Bill DeWeese Bill Ferguson Wiley O ' Neal Wally Sprunt The marathon began Tuesday morning. May 30, at 11:30. During breaks, they slept, went swim- ming, or ate the food their mothers ' brought. The marathon was covered by both Memphis newspapers and all three tele- vision stations. Sprunt wore the same bandage on his bare feet all 32 hours. Final score-1532 to 1280. I Ti 1 ■ p ■ H M 5 • - k 1 HOMECOMING 67 The 1967 MUS Homecoming was a big success, due mainly to the football team ' s sound defeat of Bartlett 48-0. The home- coming queen and her court, chosen by the junior and senior classes, were presented during halftime. Queen Lisa McBurney ' s court included Marion AAcKee, Lucy Pontius, Kathy Reed, Ellen Rhodes, and Christi Tay- lor. For the second half, MUS students posed as cheerleaders— notable among them Thomasina Robinson and Henrietta Dimples Cannon. vf 9 % - r ' . i li ' h ' C ■ ' H M ' if . SfeB3 • i LUNCH???

People and Faces After the many years at AAUS, f after the long hours of school day after day, after all the good and bad times— what will we remem- ber? The people.

This sunnmer, president Charles Chapleau and the Council set forth in a workshop a number of goals and projects. In many ways, the Student Council endeavors to help AAUS run more efficiently. At the beginning of school, the big brother system was re-emphasized, while the student handbook was lengthened. The Council drafted a Social Committee charter explaining each representative ' s duties, and the Chapel Committee was formed to maintain chapel upkeep and prepare programs. Home games were run more smoothly due to the Commissioner of Athletics, Lloyd Gordon, who helped with concessions, tickets, programs, and goal post decorations. Henry AAyar, Commissioner of Student Welfare, headed such projects as the hall monitor system. One of the Council ' s main endeavors was to build the treasury to ensure adequate money for club projects, representation at conventions, and school improvements such as trophy cases. Dances and a percentage of the concession stand profits were two methods employed to bolster the treasury. A Student Council Sponsored Hot Dog. Another special goal of the Student Council was the initiation of the point system. Peter Roop, Com- missioner of Student Activities, headed a newly formed point committee which is responsible for the efficient recording of an individual student ' s points. In general, the Student Council seeks to make every day of School life more workable and enjoy- able, while it tries to promote a better relationship between the students and faculty members. HONOR COUNCIL The Honor Council is charged with the responsi- bility of seeing that the Honor Code is carefully guarded and that the Honor System is administered fairly. The students of AAUS are fortunate to be earn- ing their education under an effective Honor Sys- tem. This system, a tradition at AAUS since its foun- 102 dation, is interpreted and governed by the Honor Council. This organization, elected and directed by students, nnaintains the spirit of honor at AAUS. The Council, composed of three seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and one student from each junior high level, is responsible for trying all honor code offend- ers. Acting as an impartial court, the Council does not seek out violators, but neither does it shirk from the responsibility of reporting and hearing cas- es. It determines what should be done in the best interests of the Honor System and the person in- volved. The Council makes recommendations to the School Administration concerning any action to be taken. The Administration has the final decision re- garding these recommendations. QUILL AND 9CR0LL Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, is relatively new at AAUS. In 1966, a character for the society was presented to Mr. William Hatchett, and the membership has grown to twelve boys. The purpose of the organiza- tion is to encourage and reward students for achieve- ment in journalism and allied fields. Any student showing initiative and meritorious work in areas of literature or journalism is a candidate for the Quill and Scroll. An AAUS member must be a junior or senior and is selected for individual participation on the school publications-the OWL, OWL ' s HOOT, and AAUSe. The qualifications include a recommendation from a publication advisor and a scholastic ranking in the upper third of his class. Besides the honor of membership, the student prepares himself for fu- ture work in journalism. Society membership is sig- nificant when applying for college, competitive schol- arships, or a position on the staff of a college publi- cation. Honor Council members left to right: Rammers, Smith, Bledsoe, Wellford, Groskind, Hutton, Wilson, J. Stout, E. Stout  f5 Quill and Scroll members standing left to right: Billings, Roop, Wells, Chapleau, Dow, Robinson, Frederick NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Students showing excellence in all aspects of their school life make up the MUS chapter of the National Honor Society. Since this year ' s initiation, the Society , includes eleven seniors and sixteen juniors. The ob- j ject of this organization is to create an enthusiasnn for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render serv- ice, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students of MUS. The Society ' s emblem includes a flaming torch and keystone representing light to see the highest ideals of mankind and strength to maintain them. Mem- bers must show excellence of achievement in four fields— scholarship, character, leadership, and service. First, a society member must excel in scholarship by achieving and maintaining an overall average of 85. The next requisite is an exceptional character at- tained through determination. Leadership must pro- ceed from unselfish motives, a strong character, as- sertion of personal abilities, and a self-informed mind. The final quality is service to one ' s school and fellow- man. National Honor Society inducts new members during chapel ceremony. LETTERMEN ' 9 CLUB The Lettermen ' s Club consists of all students who have lettered in any one of the seven varsity sports: football, bas- ketball, track, cross-country, tennis, golf, and bowling. Although the club rarely meets as a group, the main purpose is to honor the boys who have successfully participated in athletic activities. The un- known duty of the Lettermen ' s Club is to help the Commissioner of Athletics, Lloyd Gordon, sell tickets and concessions at home athletic contests. During chapel programs the lettermen are awarded let- ters the first time and certificates if they letter again in the same sport. In the spring, all varsity athletes are honored at the All Sports Banquet. 105 9ERVICE ORGANIZATIONS . . . 106 SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee is primarily responsible for the organization and preparation of school social func- tions during the year. Grade representatives met under the direction of Chairman Mike Coop to plan and discuss the location, price, and form of entertain- ment for the Student Council money-raising dances held after many of the Friday night games. Such annual events as Homecoming and the Mid-Winter Formal came under the direction of the committee and were considered by many to be quite successful. The Social Committee put through a tireless effort to make the MUS social season a complete success. Shy and Roop assist Cowan in preparing for Homecoming.

Newcomers Dabney Coors, Lucy Pontius, Kathy Reed, and Christi Taylor joined veterans Christina Wellford and Ellen Rhodes to round out the girls, while Dick Cowan and Jim Smith shared their first year of cheer- ing with Lloyd Gordon and John Witherington. Often the boys would lead impromptu cheering in chapel on the days of the games, and the girls were there for almost every Friday morning pep rally. While the girls consistently did their share of the cheering at the games, the boys were more noted for their un- usual yells and fantastic jumping ability. Together, their exuberant efforts to arouse school spirit often provided the spark which helped to lead AAUS teams to victory over their toughest opposition.

The monitors are given considerable compensation for their services, which includes one service point per semester of participation and a holiday at the end of the year. OFFICE STAFF The members of the Office Staff serve as invaluable assistants to the Administration by performing duties for which the secretaries would never find time. These boys collect absentees, answer the phone, an- nounce messages over the box, give out rules, and carry out other similar jobs. For their unselfish roles as errand boys, they receive one service point per semester of participation and a holiday at the end of the year.

MUSE The Muse is the schools fine literary magazine, composed exclusively of works the students them- selves have contributed. Under the competent leadership of Ken Clarke, the editor-in-chief, and Mr. David Smith, the faculty advisor, the Muse has made a number of new changes in its forthcoming edition. In addition to the regular short story and poetry sections, the staff has included a new hu- mor section and art section. The art section, under the direction of Art Editor Steve Rhea, in- cludes works by an accomplished student artist, Frank Yates, and the humor section consists mainly of well chosen epigrams. In preparing the maga- zine for publication, the boys and Mr. Smith have worked extremely hard, many times meeting after lunch and during free periods to discuss problems and plan their format. Along with Peter Roop, Copy Editor, and Dick Cowan, Publication Editor, the staff has hopefully succeeded in pub- lishing one of the better Muses in recent years. Ken Clarke and Thornley Jobe plan the ' 68 MUSE. Steve Rhea, the MUSE artist. The Owl The Annual Staff, under the able leadership of Mr. Cooper, has worked hard to produce the 1968 Owl. The work got under way as Dan Fisher and Henry Myar directed the ad campaign necessary to financing the annual. The goal was met admirably. Editor-in-chief Bill Ferfuson served as general coordinator with George Allisandratos as his assistant. First, there were innumerable pictures to be taken, though photography con- tinued until the last deadline. Section editors were responsible for the initial planning of the yearbook and the layout of the many pages. Ma- terial had to be gathered and organized, and several interviews had to be made before the dozens of articles could be written. Then every-, thing had to be proof-read and rewritten and corrected all over again. There were group shots that had to be taken (have you ever tried to get a large group of students to stand still, in the same place, all posed at the same time, long enough to take their pictures?) which entailed other detailed jobs, such as creating captions and cropping every picture to fit the space it occupies. The largest MUS annual ever published took a 114 ,„■., .¥■ .- g-r ' f r - 3r. M great deal of time and effort on the part of the staff. In addition to regular meetings every after- noon during seventh period, there were a number of late night sessions at the home of our sagacious faculty advisor. Everyone worked as a team, contributing to the all important goal known as final deadline. Interpret- ing the hen scratching of the seniors on their biographies was a major problem, not to mention trying to get everyone ' s picture taken. Laying out the pages was, perhaps, the most te- dious job, if not quite so hard as finding seventy or so good words to say about our beloved seniors. You, were supposed to have that done three weeks ago, the deadline was last week! But sir, I had so much other stuff to do. Hasn ' t the —Club had their picture taken yet? We ' re not going to say anything about them. Good grief! You ' ve killed it, you blockhead! The Owl ' s Hoot The 1968 Owl ' s Hoot was headed by Editor-in- chief Bill Sammons; Mr. William Hatchett served as faculty advisor. Associate editors Clyde Billings, Bob Hoffmeister, Thornley Jobe, and Mill Bosworth were each responsible for separate pages of the newspaper. Warner Phelps did the final proofreading as copy editor. There were more editors than ever before on the staff, many of whom were juniors and sophomores, preparing to run the newspaper in future years. Two juniors, Tom W ells and Bill Fones, were managing editors. Sports editor Bob Wilson and news editor Herb Davis were both sophomores. Other sophomores were Rick Johnson and Tom Berdeja, assistant man- aging editors. Barry Shankman, a junior, did a fine job as newspaper photographer, and senior David Gingold was art editor. in September several editors attended the Press- Scimitar ' s Newspaper Clinic at the auditorium and learned a few tips from Memphis ' best reporters and sports writers. Besides news stories, the paper covered the peren- nial favorites, such as Sports MUSings, Bull of the Woods, What-lfs, and Penniless. The biggest news items of the year were the varsity football team ' s undefeated season and the extremely successful Fund Drive. Though the staff published considerably fewer issues than in recent years, the 1968 Owl ' s Hoot was unquestionably dictated by quality rather than quantity. 116 CLUB9 . . .

How- ever, the club managed to have a few skeet shooting sessions before spring and increased outdoor activity to make up for lost time. The purpose of the club is to give boys who are interested in either hunting or fishing a chance to develop their skills while at school. PHILOSOPHY CLUB Under the able leadership of Mr. McLaren, the Philosophy Club, the newest of all MUS clubs, has pro- vided a worthy forum for student idealism. The club ' s purpose is to discuss and expound upon current phil- osophical theories and problems. Conducted in the foyer, which provides the relaxed informal atmosphere that has helped to make this club a success, develop- ment of thought is stressed, as well as respect and tolerance for the ideas of others. i . M DON ' T SHOOT! I ' ll come quietly. 120 PEP CLUB The Pep Club is undoubtedly the largest and most popular club at AAUS. Composed of students interested in promoting school spirit, the club was led by President Rick Sneed, who was as- sisted by Vice-president Frank Yates, Secretary Bert Robinson, Treasurer John Witherington, and Publicity Chairman Bruce Hopkins. One of the club ' s important contributions was the presentation of hilarious skits to the student body. Another responsibility charged to the Pep Club was the placing of signs and posters through- out the campus. Decorating the goalposts during the football season was one of the Pep Club ' s main functions. Still another job assigned to the club was the organization of car caravans to the games. In order to pay for materials and other expendi- tures, the club sponsored a number of fund- raising dances that were held after Friday night games. CHESS CLUB A growing popularity in chess resulted in the expansion of the Chess Club into Junior and Senior divisions. Senior members met in the read- ing room with club president Chris Craft, while junior members met with AAr. Russell, the Club ' s advisor. No dues were paid, but losing players forfeited a nickel per game to the club treasury, ably handled by John Remmers. ROCKETRY CLUB Started only two years ago, the Rocketry Club was composed of boys who were interested in [ the design and launching of model rockets, which they constructed from kits. Led by president Joe Johnson, the club met in the Biology Lab under the guidance of AAr. Shurlds, the faculty advisor. The club ' s test site and launching pad lay in the woods behind the football stands, a safe distance FOOL ' SMATE! It says here FIRING.

The club met with such large response that it was divided into Junior and Senior divisions. Club meetings were spent seeing films and planning outside trips. The Senior division took a trip to Heber Springs, Ark., where they spent the night and dived for two days. Officers of the club included Tom Hut- ton, President, and David Gingold, Treasurer. BRIDGE CLUB One of the newest clubs around, the Bridge Club quickly became one of the most popular. Led by president Bill Pollard, the members met in the Senior Commons Room for the purpose of im- proving their play, and also for the overall en- joyment of the game itself. Mr. Cooper, the club ' s faculty advisor and a bridge player in his own right, supervised the games and offered help to « i - ii fi ihf . ' ,,t Oh yeah, don ' t tell me who ' s all wet!

Chartered along with the other clubs, the Stamp Club enlisted philatelists, collectors and students of postage and imprinted stamps. Led by Presi- dent Stewart Crisler, the members met under the direction of Mr. Perdue to discuss and trade stamps among themselves in the hope of improving their own collections. SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CLUB The attention of the Science and Engineering Club was focused on Chemistry and Mechanical Drawing. In the Chemistry section Mr. Fuste gra- ciously consented to help club members in lab exploration, while Mr. Smith led the Mechanical Drawing Section. His plans for the future include building a mounting for the school ' s telescope, and starting a permanent Mechanical Drawing Class.

TRACKMEN REACH STATE MEET The 1967 Track Team, coached by Jerry Peters and Challice AAcAAillan, displayed a fine record against tough competition. The Owl season consisted of three victories in the four league meets, ninth out of twenty-eight teams in the Civitan Relays, and seconds in the M.U.S. Invitational and County Meets. After a month of conditioning, the Owls met Ger- mantown and Mt. Pisquah in their first meet. The team was led by sophomores Bob Koleas in the mile, Randall Caldwell in the pole vault, and senior Randy Wellford in the half-mile, all of whom set school records. Scoring 105 points, the Owls were followed by Germantown with 38 and Mt. Pisquah with 14. The Owls, with a prosperous outlook on the sea- son, next met Hillcrest but lost in a close 65 to 63 race. Koleas continued to lower his record time, and Rick Sneed set a new record in the discus. In addi- tion to these two victories, Mike Taylor and Henry Myar won the 180 yard low hurdles and 120 yard high hurdles while Wellford took first in the half Captains Sprunt and Wellford 129 Patton Bain mile. At the next outing, a dual nneet with Westwood, the temperature was high, but so was the Owls ' spirit, as MUS emerged victorious 87 to 41. The meet brought new names into the picture as Wiley O ' Neal threw the shot 49 ' IOV2 . The 440 yard relay team (Taylor, Coulter Patton, Greg Davis, and Steve Bain), the mile relay team (Bill Ferguson, Walter Sprunt, Peter Roop, and John Keesee) and the two mile relay team (R. Wellford, Roop, Sprunt, and Scott Wellford) took first in their races. Other winners were Koleas, Caldwell, Sneed, and Taylor. In the last league meet, the Owls won twelve of the sixteen events to tromp the Collierville Dragons 91 to 35. Caldwell set a new record in the pole vault, and the 880 relay team (Davis, Patton, Keesee, and Bain) tied the school record of 1:3.75. Koleas in the mile, Ferguson in the quarter mile, Taylor in the low hurdles, and the one and two mile relay teams also won their events. After a record of 3 and 1 in the County League, the Owls felt ready for the MUS Invitational Meet. The two mile relay team highlighted the Meets as they broke the school record by 5 seconds with a time of 8:25.4. MUS placed in eleven of the events with Sneed in the discus, O ' Neal in the shot put, and the two mile relay team taking firsts. East High placed first and MUS second, followed by Trezevant, Oakhaven, White Station, and Frayser. Sneed O ' Neal ■ The season was climaxed by the County Meet held on the AAUS all-weather track. The Owls took an early lead with O ' Neal and Sneed taking first and second in the shot put and Patton placing third in the long jump. In the second day of the meet, Sneed won the discus for the second year in a row. The half mile relay team, Koleas, and R. Wellford grabbed seconds while O ' Neal, the 440 yard relay team, and Ray Higgins placed thirds. Whitehaven took first in the Meet with 42 2 points and MUS second with 41 points. The defending champ Hillcrest placed third, followed by Millington, Westwood, Woodstock, and Germantown. In the District Meet the Owls placed fifth out of twelve teams. Sneed won the discus and shot put with O ' Neal second in the shot. Patton took second in the long jump, and the two mile relay team placed third. Ferguson in the quarter mile and O ' Neal in the discus took fourths to give the Owls 20 points. In the Regional Meet O ' Neal took first in the shot put with a heave of 50 ' 4 . Sneed placed first in the discus with a throw of 148 ' 4 . They both went on to the State Meet held in Knoxville. Sneed grabbed a second in the discus and set a new school record with a throw of 53 ' 9V2 , and O ' Neal took fourth in the shot put with a heave of 50 ' 4% . Roop and S. Wellford J.

TRACK CLAIMS COUNTY CROWN Wilson and Davis Although their dual meets were somewhat of a disappointment, the Jr. High Track Team gathered their resources together to capture first place in the Junior High County Track Meet, edging out German town 33-31 . In the dual meets the Jr. OWLS lost to Germantown in their first outing, edged out a tough Westwood team, and were barely beaten by Hillcrest in their last meet. In the county meet, Scott Cherry started the OWLS off by taking a second in the low hurdles. Bob Wilson set a new county record with a time of; 55.5 in the 440 dash. A much improved 880 yard relay team took second in that event. Mac Cone ran a grueling 880 to capture second, while Tim Good- win finished fourth in the 220. Ralph Braden, Lynn Green, and George Madison captured first, second, 132 cherry Schaefer and third in the shot for a sweep of the event. Green won the discus, with Braden and Madison a close third and fourth. Much of the credit for the League Championship goes to Coach Powell, who completely rearranged the relay teams before the County Meet so they could pull in extra points, in discussing this year ' s team. Coach Powell stressed the role that desire and hustle played in this year ' s success, stating that it was the most improved team he has ever coached.

Wetter VARSITY TENNIS TEAM NETS STATE TROPHY The AAUS netman opened the 1967 season with a new coach and a bright outlook on the conning sea- son. The first two matches cancelled because of bad weather; only four of the six scheduled matches could be played. Victories were achieved in three of these matches. Two came over the tough Mont- gomery Bell Team from Nashville and the third over CBHS. The Regional Tournament began with AAUS rated very highly. The forecasters were not disappointed as every event, including the team title, was swept by AAUS. The finals of the doubles event found two AAUS teams battling for the title with Lance AAinor and Paul AAcClure triumphing over Holmes Pettey and Ford AAcDonald. Three of the four semi-finalists of the singles events were AAUS players. Fred Gros- kind defeated AAark Booth of AAemphis Central for the regional championship. During the sweep of the regional tournament the OWLS qualified seven out of eight men for state competition completely domi- nating all play. The mighty AAUS tennis team arrived in Nashville for the state tournament with victory on their mind. ? ,« ij %i 134 Groskind Minor and McClure McDonald and H. Pettey Whjie in Nashville the OWLS did somethng no other athletic teann of MUS has ever done, they won the state championship. Special honors came to Groskind when he defeat- ed Mackie McMahon of Oak Ridge to win the state singles trophy. Davis Moser also placed high by reaching the semi-finals. Minor and McClure went the entire route only to lose in the finals of the doubles in a hard fought match. At the conclusion of the tournament the OWLS found themselves the unquestioned victors with their nearest competition some six points behind. A proud and optimistic Coach Mac McClaren feels they can do it again next year. He has grounds for his beliefs because his top five singles players are all returning: Groskind, Moser, McClure, Cunning- ham, Joel Bailey, and a new star, George Dameron from the junior high team.

A considerably im- proved County League resulted in a 4-2 season record and third place in the County standings for the Owl golfers. These two losses were the first that the AAUS golf team had ever suffered in a County League match. During the 1966 season the Owls discovered a new number one man, Barry Blubmerg; along with Blumberg were two other outstanding players, Rusty Walton and David Dunavant, who were the number two and number three men, respectively. Other members of the squad included: Joel Fulmer, Ray Turman, Bob Sullivan, Jim Cowan, and Randy Estes. At the end of the season, Blumberg defeated Dunavant in a close playoff for the AAUS Golf Crown. AAembers of the squad hope the 1968 team will be one of the best ever. Such expectations are very possible since many of their excellent players will be returning this year. 1 1 I li 136 I . CR099-C0UNTRY TEAM IS OUTSTANDING The Cross-Country team was victorious in their four league meets against Bartlett, Millington, Hillcrest, and Westwood. They also placed third and fourth in the MUS and Searcy Invitational meets and took first in the Shelby County Meet to become the number one team in the league. Bob Koleas led the victori ous Owls in the county meet taking second. Waddy West, AAac Cone, John Keesee, and Curt Ogle placed third, fifth, sixth, and seventh respectively. MUS easily took first place with a low score of 23 points to become the 67 County Champs. Coach Jerry Peters accredited the teams ' success to an exceptionally well balanced team.

In 1967, MUS was rewarded for its long and patient wait. The Owls went undefeated and untied through their ten season games. The 1967 football season brought many new honors to MUS. They won the Shelby County League football championship, were ranked tenth in the AP Tennessee High School football rankings, their de- fensive unit was the best in the state, and they par- ticipated in their first post-season bowl game. Unity that can be contributed to outstanding lead- ership was the real strength of this year ' s team. Junior quarterback Weber Laughlin, the Owls ' field general, was the leader of the powerful MUS offen- sive unit. Other members of the Owl backfield in- CJJ V 4 A! ' ..4_ M •-X --?

The AAUS offensive line was comprised of Ernie James and Mike Coop, ends; Haynes McBride and John Cady, tackles; John Rem- mers and Charles Chapleau, guards; and Lynn Green, center. Strong leadership was also required to become the number one team in the state on defense. This was found in linebackers Wiley O ' Neal and Chapleau and end Coop. Other members of the defensive team included Bill Smith, tackle; and defensive backs Scott Wellford, Tommy Adams, and Bob Wilson. Many people were proud of the fine record posted by the Owls, but perhaps the proudest was head coach Jake Rudolph. This was the first undefeated team he had ever coached. Along with Coach Rudolph were assistant coaches Jim Wright and Challice Mc- Millan. 140 Post season awards were numerous as four players were named to the all-county team. These were Remmers, AAcBride, Gingold, and Laughlin. O ' Neal received all-state honors from radio station WSAA, Nashville, and Laughlin received honorable mention all-state honors from the board of sports writers and broadcasters. O ' Neal and Pepper were named to the second team and Whitehead and Taylor received honorable mention from The Commercial Appeal. Other awards came to Whitehead and O ' Neal; line- man of the week, and Pepper; back of the week, from the Press Scimitar. MUS 30 WHITEHAVEN 6 The Owl opener, a game rated a tossup, showed the power of the MUS offensive and defensive units. Owl scores came on runs by Gingold, O ' Neal, Laugh- lin, Adams, and a long pass from Laughlin to Cannon. Whitehead led the defensive unit with over twenty- five tackles. Elmer Ray passed to end Guy Carter for the lone Whitehaven tally. MUS 30 WESTWOOD Laughlin was outstanding on offense, scoring three times himself and passing to O ' Neal for the other score in the second season tilt. Wilson intercepted one of Glen Davis ' passes to halt a Westwood scoring threat, and with the defensive unit holding the West- erners to a yard rushing there were no other pene- trations. In the closing minutes of the game Rem- mers caught Davis behind the goal line for a safety and the final two points of the contest. MUS 20 BOLIVAR 6 Just minutes into the game Larry Price, a 225 pound Bolivar fullback, scored. Gingold then evened the count, Remmers scooped up a fumble, and Laughlin scored on a sneak to give us our third mark tov ard the championship. AAUS 27 HILLCREST The Owls continued their v inning streak and over- powered Hillcrest in the fourth season contest. Coach Rudolph was particularly pleased with his team ' s defensive effort while the offensive unit rolled up 389 yards rushing. O ' Neal and Gingold each scored once, Laughlin twice, and James was successful on three conversion attempts. MUS 14 GERMANTOWN 7 AAUS defeated upset-minded Germantown in per- haps the toughest game of the season. Cannon re- turned two Red Devil punts that placed Laughlin and O ' Neal in scoring positions. Cliff Fleenor passed to halfback Melvin Henderson for the only Germantown score. AAUS 21 BISHOP BYRNE Bishop Byrne, another victim of the Owls ' winning streak, failed to score in another fine defensive effort. Green and Laughlin spearheaded the AAUS attack and accounted for three touchdowns. AAUS 48 AAILLINGTON Scoring seven times in the first three quarters and then sending in the reserves, AAUS crushed the AAil- lington Trojans. AAcBride led off the scoring with the return of a pass interception. Pepper and Gingold each got two TDs, and Coop and O ' Neal one each. The defense was equal to the occasion as AAillington never penetrated past the 25 yard line. AAUS 48 BARTLETT Bartlett couldn ' t contain the AAUS offensive as the Owl team continued their march to the county title. Pepper, Gingold, and AAcDonald each scored twice, and Laughlin once. James got five extra points on kicks and Coop one. This victory assured at least a tie for the county championship. AAUS 60 COLLIERVILLE On the visitors ' field, the AAUS football team made school history as it won its first county title and completed its first undefeated season. The game X Bk 143 s ' dSiKi.-- - proved to be a team effort as Coach Rudolph cleared the bench and the entire squad had a part in the Collierville shutout. Fanned end, Preston Carpenter, was held in check throughout the night, while Ging- old, and Wetter each scored twice, and Laughlin, Pepper, O ' Neal, McDonald, and AAurphy once each. LITTLE COTTON BOWL MUS athletes, coaches, and supporters were both proud and disappointed as the Owls concluded their first undefeated season and won their first Shelby County League ttile. They were proud because of their best season ever allowing only 19 points to be scored against them while scoring 298 points them- selves. They were disappointed because of the little attention they had received in the Tennessee High School football ratings. Three days after the Collierville victory the coach- ing staff received an invitation from the Brownsville Jaycees to participate in the Little Cotton Bowl. MUS accepted eagerly the invitation to play McKenzie, Ten- nessee, a top team in the Volunteer Conference. George Abernathy shocked the Owls by returning the opening kickoff for McKenzie to put the Rebels ahead 6-0. The MUS offense was played with back- field in motion penalties. Abernathy passed to Stan McDonald to cap a fifty-one yard drive for the second McKenzie score. MUS was faced with playing catch-up ball as Laughlin warmed up his arm and passed to Coop and Pepper and then scored on a plunge. Minutes later Laughlin again scored, following the recovery of a fumble on the McKenzie 40. The MUS offense began to unwind in the final quarter after a scoreless third quarter. The Owls drove sixty yards in thirteen plays as the running game began to take its toll on a weary Rebel defense. Gingold got the final two yards, scored, James kicked, and MUS had won their first bowl game. Jaycee officials selected John Remmers as the out- standing lineman of the game. But the MUS team had won more than a bowl game as they moved to tenth place in AP ' s final state football ratings. 145 )t-  yiS.-« ' 7 ' ,.- ' , I J ••?

Phillip Gould re- turned a pass interception for the game ' s only tally. MUS posted a 12-6 victory in the Hillcrest contest. Gould scored on a long run and Tom Jones passed sixty yards to Buddy Best for MUS ' 12 points. Rain forced postponement of the Germantown tilt, and the Baby Owls got a much needed rest. The Bishop Byrne Red Knights, the next Owl challeng- ers, proved to be tougher as MUS lost 14-0. It was an off night for MUS in their fourth sea- son game. They led Fairley Road, the newest entry in the county League, 7-6 at the halftime but failed to get their offense to click in the second half and lost 12-7. Gabe Hawkins, Tom Jones, Tommy Moore, and Gould led the MUS offensive attack in the next contest crushing Bartlett 48-19. The Whitehaven game, toughest of the season, was nip and tuck the entire first half. Turley, Gould, and Morrow each got a TD for MUS ' 19 points. White- haven scored on the opening play of the second half to break a 19-19 tie.

Second Row: Bogatin, Avery, Todd, Kirkpatrick, Smith, Cartwright, Tate, Hazlip, McDonald, Goza, Coach Daniels. Third Row: Alexander, DeSaussure, Fitzgerald, Crenshaw, Wilson, Goodwin, Anderson. I- Traveling to Millington the next week the Owls defeated the Trojans 28-13. The coaches praised the performance of the defense as they recovered all six of Millington ' s fumbles. In the last season contest, a re-match of a postponed game, Germantown forfeited to give the Owls their fifth season victory. EIGHTH GRADE Lacking experience, the eighth grade football team completed a mildly successful season with a two win, two loss, and two tie record. The Baby Owls, playing each team twice, tied and defeated Richland {7-7 and 13-12), Collierville {7-7 and 35-7), and then lost two games to a tough Ger- mantown team (28-0 and 19-0). In discussing this year ' s team, Coach Daniels praised Mike Davis, David Goodwin, and Hal Wellford for fine performances, adding that the entire team put forth a superb effort. 151 BA9KETBALL . . . 52 0WL9 GRAB 4th SPOT IN COUNTY PLAY The MUS varsity basketball team, in their last season as a member of the Shelby County League, successfully completed a tough schedule of fine teams. Their league record of eleven wins and seven losses gave them fourth place in the ten team league. The team was coached by Mr. Jerry Peters, an eight year veteran of basketball coaching. Mr. Larry Schurlds, the B-team coach, also helped with the varsity. The eleven man team consisted of five sen- iors, three juniors, and three sophomores. Fred Gros- kind, known for his fabulous outside shooting, was a very diversified player, outstanding on both offense and defense. Although Henry Cannon broke his wrist midway through the football season and started basketball late, he proved a valuable asset to the MUS team. Junior center Paul McClure and forward Randall Caldwell continually made their presence known as did Mike Coop and John Keesee. Sophomore guard Jimmy Ogle led MUS scorers in a number of games. Seniors Bob Caldwell, Henry Myar, and David Gingold, and sophomores Gary Stevens and Warren Hughes were also important to the team ' s success. The first three games of the season were non - league contests and the Owls swept them in true MUS fashion. They defeated a weak Westside team 75-15, the Messick Panthers 54-38, and the highly rated Catholic five 53-44. The Owls traveled to Collierville for their first league game and returned with a 61-31 victory. White- haven was next on the schedule. By playing a top game defensively, MUS held a halftime lead of 15-13. This slim lead slipped away in the second half, the final tally 38-39. An old rival, Germantown, proved stronger in the Owls ' sixth outing as they were downed 35-50. After two defeats, the Owls returned home with a full head of steam to defeat Millington 153 67-A9. AAcClure was the game ' s leading scorer with 18 points, but the whole squad played a good game. With this new found momentum, the Owls rolled over Westwood 58-43. Meeting Westside for the second time, the MUS squad faced a much improved team but were still able to defeat the Wildcats 73-50. Caldwell took AAUS ' scoring honors with 21 points followed by Ogle with 16. During the Christmas vacation, the Owls were busy with three non-league games and increased practice. A tough White Station team pulled ahead in the second half after an 18-18 halftime tie for a 34-48 victory. AAUS faced Greenville, Tenn. in the first night of action at the Lions Club In- vitational Tournament at UT, Martin. Groskind paced the Owls with 19 points in the 56-38 MUS victory. In the second game they faced Paris, Tenn. The game was close all the way— the half- time score was tied 23-23 and the third quarter score was tied 33-33. In the fourth quarter MUS outscored Paris for a 44-43 victory and the tourna- ment championship. Resuming league play back home, the Owls defeated Bolton 58-51; Groskind led the MUS team with 19 points. January 9, the Owls faced Bartlett with their ever-present center 7 ' 2 Steve. Turner and two other all county players. The Panthers showed their strength winning 52-89. The MUS attack wasi 54 w %, led by McClure and Ogle with 10 points each, while on the other side. Turner scored 32 points. The Owls bounced back from this loss, routing Bishop Byrnne 59-23. An aggressive defense and a fast break offense proved to be the secret in the Hillcrest game; the Owls were victorious 59-48. R. Caldwell took the game ' s scoring honors with 22 points. Facing Collierville for the second time, MUS ran the Dragons off the court 81-32. Groskind was the game ' s high scorer with 25 points followed by Keesee with 17. The Owls, with high hopes for a victory, encount- ered Whitehaven on their court and lost 38-50. Gros- kind and his fabulous outside shooting accounted for 21 of MUS ' points. Facing Germantown for the sec- ond time, the Owls put forth a valiant effort, only to lose 47-51. Groskind ' s 27 points were mighty impor- tant but the Owls couldn ' t close the four point gap in the score. It was a bad night for the Owls when they met Millington for the second time, losing 56-74. They were victorious in their next outing though, defeating Westwood 40-34. The MUS team then tackled Bartlett. They defi- nitely had their work cut out for them as the Panthers were rated the number one high school basketball team in the state. 157 MUS dominated all the play in the first quarter, but their lead slipped away to a ten point deficit by the half. In the final quarter the still deternnined Owls closed the gap to 3 but lost 61-65. R. Caldwell and Groskind led the Owls in scoring with 18 and 17 points respectively. In the Bishop Byrne game. Cannon and Groskind each scored 20 points to help secure a 62-32 victory. In the final game of the regular season AAUS de- feated a hot Hillcrest 40-39. The league record of 1 1 wins and 7 losses and the overall record of 17 wins and 8 losses can be contributed to hard work by a dedicated team and coaching staff. Groskind, averaging about 16 points a game, was named to the Press Scimitar ' s all county team. In the first round of the District 34 Tournament held at Millington, AAUS took on Geeter from the Shelby County Negro League. Although Geeter led 28-25 at the half, the AAUS attack pulled ahead for a 54-50 victory. Groskind and Cannon claimed AAUS ' scoring honors with 14 points each, followed by AAcClure and Caldwell with 12 each. AAUS met Woodstock in the second round of the tournament and lost 51-57. AAUS jumped to an early lead but fell behind in the second half. Caldwell, with 1 1 points in the first quarter, had a total of 24 to lead all scorers and was followed by AAcClure with 12. Caldwell was also named to the All Tournament Team.  ' H R. Caldwell Gingold Groskind Cannon AAyar 160 Gingold, Myar, Groskind, Coop, McClure, B. Caldwell, Keesee, Dobbins, R.

Their fine record of fourteen wins and eight losses can be contributed to hard work and hustle in all aspects of the game. They started off well but fell down toward the middle of the season to some tough losses against stiff competition. In the first three games, all non league, the Owls easily defeated Catholic and Westwood but lost to Messick. The varsity team of Fayette Academy of- fered little resistance as our skilled B-team swept them off the court, 51-17. The AAUS B-team ' s first encounter in league competition was Collierville who was handed a 27-21 defeat. Back home in familiar territory, they played White- haven in a good game and defeated the Tigers, 45-37. The B-team hosted AAillington next and took the g me 39-29. Along with Bartlett ' s all powerful varsity team, their B-team proved equally fine. The Owls couldn ' t hold the Panthers and were beaten by ten points. Dejected, but still hopeful, they returned home the following Friday, only to lose to Bishop Byrnne. Unable to get out of their slump, the Owls were beaten by Hillcrest but soon recovered with a victor y over Collierville. The now rolling B-team met White- haven on their court and added them to their list of victories, 50-39. The Owls pushed Germantown aside, 35-24 and greeted AAillington and Westwood with defeats. Unable to close an eight point gap in the halftime score, the Owls lost to Bolton, . 40-28. Moving into the final games of the season, the still determined B-team was overpowered by Bartlett, Bishop Byrnne, and Hillcrest, 162 1 McDonald, Caradine, Rachels, Hughes Verdeja, Weathersby, Jones, Rembprt, Shy, Stevens. 163 JR. HIGH TAKES COUNTY TITLE The MUS Junior High Basketball team completed a perfect league record of nine wins and no losses, securing the highly esteemed County Championship. They also participated in a post season tournament held at Bartlett. The team, under the direction of Coach Jim Wright, lost only three games, all non-league. ! Their first taste of victory was securedj in Nashville much to the dismay of Ryan,! a highly rated team. Led by Buddy Best,; the team posted a 29-27 victory. The next game was against the An- tioch Bears, also of Nashville. The Baby Owls lost 30-36, but Coach Wright wasn ' t too upset, as the team gained valuable playing experience. Back in Memphis, the Owls faced Tread- well and suffered their second defeat ofi the season. Standing; Everett, Drew, Jones, Best, Quackenboss, Bell, Morris, Morrow, Hawkins, Bogatin.

Scoring was evenly distrib- uted between Steve Morrow and Best with six points each, Joel Bell and Tom Jones with five, and Philip Gould with four. With Best rebounding and Bell scoring thirteen points, the Owls took Hillcrest, 24-13. In the winning column three times the AAUS team traveled to Whitehaven. The game was close all the way, and with twenty seconds left in the con- test they were behind by a point. Bell made a last second clutch shot to give AAUS a 42-41 victory. Back home hosting Bishop Byrnne, the Owls handed them a big defeat. The scoring honors were taken by Bell with ten points and Jones with seven. Proving the real strength of their offensive and defensive units, AAUS outscored the Red Knights 28-14. The next game was against undefeated Bartlett and was the first showdown of the season. The hard fighting Owls came out ahead. By playing a con- trolled offensive game, they slowed the Panther attack, beating them, 24-23. AAeeting Treadwell for the second time was just as tough as the first. Again they defeated AAUS, the final tally, 31-27. ., . The Owls faced last place Bolton next, and expected an easy victory. Shaken up by the Bolton attack in the second half the Owls won by only a three point margin. The following week the Jr. High met an old rival, Westwood, and in a fine game downed the Cowboys , 37-22. They encountered and defeated AAillington next, 45-25. In the last game of the season, the Baby Owls kept ' their poise, handing Germantown a 35-29 defeat. This victory secured the County Championship for one of MUS ' finest Jr. High teams. 166 Standing: Newburn, Day, AAcDonald, Weber, Crisler, Cren shaw, Ayres. Kneeling: Fitzgerald, Wellford, Humphries, Alexander, Kirkpatrick. EIGHTH GRADE The eighth grade basketball team, coached by Mr. Daniels, connpleted a six win and eleven loss season this year. Lacking tall, experienced players, the team demonstrated time and time again the importance of desire and hustle. The team defeated Second Presbyterian (23-13), Mullins (28-10), Tunica (46-11), and Coleman (34-31 ). They were both victorious and defeated by Germantown (30-21 and 15-19 respectively) and Collierville (23-20 and 15-19 respectively).

But this has not been just another year because it has been marked by its own par- ticular traits. We feel that the most important dif- ference between this year and others, past and future, has been People . . . their individual styles and attitudes and their group spirit. With this year ' s uniqueness in mind, we have tried to present People in a way that is not false nor ideal, and we hope that if your annual is not better in 1968, that at least it is different. Also, I want to say for those who have asked me to do so, for the ones who have not realized or will refuse to admit until they ' ve left, and for myself . . . MUS is a mighty great school.
