They are always ready with a huge grin, a kind word, or criticism, whether in the halls, lunchroom, or bus. They are indeed school institutions. Therefore, the 1970 yearbook staff would like to show its thanks and appreciation, as well as that of the student body, by dedicating this year- book to them.

There has been a tremendous expansion in the building program with the addition of the student lounge, language labs, and the Junior High gym. There have also been great strides be- tween student and the administration, notably with the Sen- ior lunch privileges. All of these changes have been beneficial to MUS. and its students. However, there are some aspects of MUS that will probably never change. These things were a part of MUS when this year ' s seniors were in the seventh grade and will probably be around when this year ' s seventh graders are Seniors. Top: Junior High gym. Below: The new language labs in use. Below right: Riggins, Morris, and Piggorr enjoying the new student lounge. ' ' %fJll , Year in and year out, a new crop of seventh graders arrive. They are always a little smaller and a little more annoying. From their first steps into MUS, they are subjected to Col. Lynn ' s stimulating oratory, nutritious, superbly prepared cuisine, the scholar ' s hour (seventh period study hall), and the intellectual atmosphere of our multi-volumed library, lorded over by its revered martinet. They become a part of the athletic teams, exciting gym conflicts, pep rallies, and school spirit in general. They have become impor- tant parts of Memphis University School.

MUS is made up of a lot of differ- ent aspects. Primarily, however, MUS is the students. They are what MUS is all about. Each student is of- fered the opportunity to become an integral part of school life. In doing so, a student can receive the many benefits that MUS has to offer.

For a student to fully understand this expression and search, he must be exposed to a pro- gram that gives him appreciation of the beauty of lit- erature and of its insight into the aspirations of man- kind. The elective program at Memphis University School offers a program that exposes the student to the various kinds of literature: poetry, the novel, and the drama. By studying the structure and meaning of well- known works of literature such as Macbeth and Can- terbury Tales, the student is capable of fully recogniz- ing the beauty present in the literature he studies. Besides beauty, literature delves deep into the souls of men. By examining various authors - such as Hemingway and O ' Neil, the student examines the thoughts and aspirations of mankind. By understanding the meaning and philosophy be- hind the novels and dramas, the student grows to a fuller understanding of himself. 16 Above left: Northcross, a noted English scholar, con- scientiously analyzes a piece of literature in sopho- more English.

The fields of history, litera- ture, philosophy, theology, fine art, and music were all studied to relate the liberal arts to the social conditions of their age. Approached chronologically, such works as Oedipus Rex, The Ae- neid, Canterbury Tales, The Inferno, The Pnnce, Candtde, and Absa- lom! Absalom! crc examined. Students were able to formulate their own ideas through discussions, themes, and term papers. All in all, the Humanities course at MUS was a survey of West- ern civilization that sought to instill a greater understanding of the liberal arts in the students. f Bible Course Examines Christian Faith The Bible course at M.U.S. was taught by Mr. Haguewood and Mr. Miller. The purpose of the course was to give the student a firm basis of Christian dogma. The first and second quarters were spent reviewing the Old Testament and studying Luke and the Book of Acts. After studying Paul ' s letters in the third quarter, the last quarter of the year was spent studying the development of the present denominations from the first century church to today. The course would not have been as rewarding had it not been for the gargantuan dedication of the instructors. This dedication was so strong that the course was often brought into the chapel programs. By including the Bible course into its curriculum, M.U.S. has enabled the student to evaluate the Christian faith and has given him a fair understanding of the Chris- tian Church. (Above left) Students show their thirst for knowl- edge during Humanities lecture. (Belmii left) Don ' t be a pusillanimous masochist. (Above and below nghl) Attentive Bible students sit through class. 19 History Sought to Relate Past to Present Through the study of the past, the Department of Social Sciences has sought to promote a greater understanding of our society today. Teaching basic courses in ancient medieval European histo- ry, Mexican and Russian history, Mr. Harkins has captivated his classes by his daring exploits and matchless tales. Under the impeccable Mr. McQueen, American history continued to be a favorite as it gave a greater understanding of the American nation. Economics, taught by Mr. Daniel, delved into the complex- ities of society ' s economic structure. (Above left) A student concentrates on a hangnail. (Below left) Students buckle down on test.

Undoubtedly, lack of com- munication is one of the most challenging problems in the world today. To meet the challenge, the language department at M.U.S. has tried to give a student a profound ability to communicate with his fellow man. Under the direction of Mrs. Charles Mosby, the language department has tried to make the student proficient in these areas of a language: writing, speech and reading comprehension. The department has in every sense given a student a broader education by exposing him to other cultures of the world. ' %.

In preparation for college, most seniors took the Senior Math course which gives them a good base for the study of calculus. The mathematical geniuses were placed in the advanced Calculus course which can give them a college credit. Other seniors were involved in the Independent Study Program which met twice a week and lightly touched on calculus. But one of the most popular math courses in the school was plumber math. These pipe- engineers were taught such basics as addition and subtraction, and eventually the quadratic formula. 24 Science Dedicated to a better understanding of the physical world, the Science Department at M.U.S. offered courses in physics, chemis- try, physics-chemistry, and biology. Under the able leadership of Mr. Robert Smith, the physics course offered a profound study into the physical laws of the univ- erse. Always popular with the sophomore class, physics-chemistry, under Coach Shurlds, gave students a fascinating introduction into the sciences. Coach Shurlds also taught the biology course. Students in this course attempted such exciting experiments as breeding fruit-flies. The chemistry course went into an indepth study of moles under the tutelage of Mr. Todd. The Science Department through these courses presented a thor- ough introduction into an understanding of the universe. (Above left) Trezevant questions the Pythagotean theorem.

Its purpose is to show a few of the mem- orable events that happened during the year. These events will help you re.nember other events, not pictured, unfl the year is complete in your memory. The pictures on the following pages try to depict the distinct feelings and ac- tions that made the 1970 school year what it was, or wasn ' t.

Bottom middle: Underclassmen pass time in student lounge. Bottom right: Students congregating in the hdls. 29 30 The new year actually starts near the end of the old year, with the Student Council elections. At this time, MUS practices the time-honored tradi- tion of -electing the officials of the student body. This is one tradition liked by all. During the elec- tion week classes are held during the intermis- sions of the real business at hand, such as; water bomb fights, the skits, and the election day bands. However, the real togetherness an MUS stu- dent feels for another student is displayed at the election parties. The administration has some- times voiced a complaint of this close feeling which makes it prudent for large numbers of stu- dents to stay in place for a night. Upper left: Students watching for the macabre things that hap- pened during election time. Upper right: Wilson attempts to voice himself but as usual . . .

It is an institution that is kept alive solely for the benefit of the faculty, since rarely does a student complete a meal. It has been rumored that food is being given to us for testing purposes by the bac- teria warfare unit of the army base in Memphis. The students ' high regards for the lunch was clearly shown by the fifteen quick and snappy Alka-Seltzers given after a particularly stomach tantalizing meal.

This new sense of school pride can be seen in school or out, whether at a football game or basketball game. The group that has helped put the spirit back in the school has been the buzzards. They have contributed greatly to school spirit with such things as their wide varie- ty of cheers, the basketball dribble, and buzzard punch. These contributions have helped the pil- lars of school pride at MUS. The spirit and the teams have combined to give one of its best years in sports. May it always continue. Bottom left: Kim Wiwdmansee, MUS ' s homecoming Queen is also an exhulxrant cheerleader. Upper left: Ralph calls the Buzzards. Upper right: Bounce, bounce, bounce. Bottom middle: Whooooooa Buzzards.

The phiys allow people to spend time ;ind energy in a part of school life as re- warding as sports. Also, it lets a person portray some- thing he is not, even if only for a short period of time. There were whispers around the school that the scope of the plays produced at MUS would be wid- ened with the addition of HAIR. However Colo- nel Lynn vetoed the production when he found out the nude scenes would be left out. Above left: Weber reads as Jemison and Srringfellow look on.

(Bottom) Great Inquisition; (left to right) Dameron, Day, Stout, Monis, H. Wilson, Hughes, Kay, Bledsoe, Caradine. This year ' s council has been very busy. Their first official duty was the handing out of Honor Council constitutions to the students in order to familiarize them with the school ' s underlying ideals of truth and honor. M.U.S. has always been proud of its honor code and the Honor Council has been established to uphold this code of honor. Under the leadership of Mac Caradine, the council this year has done its best to further instill the sense of honor in the students at M.U.S. The council investigates violations of lying, cheating, and stealing. This year the Honor Council again upheld the school ' s sense of integrity and mutual trust, so long a vit al part of Memphis University School. 4i Student Council Soars to New Heights The 1970 Student Council has been very unique at M.U.S. as all members, not just a select few, took on responsibility and worked together under the leader- ship of Bob Wilson to make 1970 one of the most productive and successful years in M.U.S. Student Council history. Perhaps the Council ' s most outstanding and most popular accomplishment of the year has been the adoption of the senior lunch privilege. This privilege allows each senior to escape a succulent and carefully prepared meal at M.U.S. and dine at his choice of any of Memphis ' numerous fine restaurants. This was certainly a great breakthrough for the Student Council. Another tremendously successful undertaking of the council was to join the Civic Service Club in the drive to collect canned goods for several needy families. The response to this drive was so great that we were given another himiiv to sup- ply with canned goods. Other projects which the council dealt with included an improved Lost and Found, a more effective hall pass system, a less dangerous, more controlled lunch line, the Hall of Fame additions, and interesting chapel programs. 42 ■iiKSM y:. y; 4 ::.J. •■ ■•  -!« --. ... rtcDon  UO«SB«0 mr .

National Honor Society This year has been an active one for the National Honor Society. Under the inspiring leadership of its elected officers and advisor Mr. Russell, the society has accomplished a great deal. There has been a marked increase in the percentage of tutoring members even without the encouragement of a salary increase. Also the members established a blackball system by which current members could express their views concerning NHS candidates. Unfortunately, the system was not extremely effective as the teachers maintained the final say. Much enthusiasm was aroused when there was a move to order each member an offi- cial NHS armband. The project was unsuccessful, however, as there were not sufficient funds in the treasury to finance it. Quill and Scro To be a member of the Quill and Scroll, an MUS student must be a scholar and a mem- ber of either the annual staff, paper staff, or MUSE. However, the amount of work re- quired is debatable. The big event of the year for the patient and proud members was the receiving of their Q and S cards and pins after a four month delay due to a mysterious pol- tergeist heist of the list of members. 45 Publications revealing the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth . . . despite the censor boards Above: Our man Hoehn takes it easy after a grueling day in the annual room.

The new MUSe is a larger edition which involves a wider range of creative writing samples from the students. As Howard said, The MUSe this year will strive to present an anthology of M.U.S. literature rather than provide an outlet for frustrated, disgruntled seniors. Mr, Hatchett served as advisor for the staff. MUSe staff members hold summit pow-wow in the hbrat) ' . (Frank Crumbaugh, Howard Stringtel- low, and Oliver Cobb. Cropped out - Mark Bogatin and Jamie Walkup). Advisor Mr. Hatchett and Editor Howard Stringfellow select articles for the MUSe. 47 Newspaper Rolls to Unexpected Success In previous years, the newspaper has strived for either quantity or quahty. This year the paper put out more issues than ever before. Seriously, the newspaper, under the able dictatorship of Tricky Ricky Johnson, blazed to new heights with more issues and better content than any previous year. For the first time, the paper put out special issues on the football and basketball seasons. And for another first, these issues were financed by advertisements. In preparation for future years, more work and responsibility to the lower grades was delegated. Penniless had more spies than ever before in order to rat on everyone in the Senior class. Although the editors seemed to be a little short on brotherly love at times, they did their jobs in a commendable man- ner. We hope that the standards set by the 1970 paper staff will be continued in future years. Bottam: The newspaper staff attempts to reach the class of the yearbook edi- tors.

For without any aid from a faculty advisor, the handicaps of a more alert censor board, and the necessity of having to share our room with the newspaper, student council, and honor coun- cil, we managed to produce the finest M.U.S. an- nual ever. The section editors received some help from their serfs as four of the staff members spent a week in Iowa at a publication workshop. (The girl-hoy ratio was eight to one.) Those that went learned many new skills. As usual the most amount ot work was done in the least amount of time. However, the annual 50 to New Horizons brotherhood pitched in to aid their fellow editors when the going got tough. We editors would like to give a special men- tion to Camera Lenz, and his mass developing system, which gave the editors their desperately needed pictures, minutes before each deadlme.

Civic Service Club Cans Success The Civic Service Club continued the MUS tradi- tion of helping those less fortunate than ourselves with new vigor and ideas. Money was raised for St. Jude ' s Hospital through the Blackout Reunion Dance held at school in memory of the blackout in New York in 1964. Along with the Student Council the Civic Service Club sponsored a can drive to collect canned food to carry two needy families through the winter. These two new successes were added to their annual fund raising drives, the March of Dimes and Toys for Tots, to complete a successful and honorable year of helping others. 53 (Right) Solemn cheerleaders reveal true form.

Most Outstanding Cheerleader: Pal Adams 54 lis. - iillgr ' y ' i ' Cheerleaders Spark New Enthusiasm The overwhelming amount of school spirit this year at M.U.S. was a result of the en- thusiasm of the cheerleaders as well as the student body. Led by captains Lou Adams and Christi Austin, the other cheerleaders included seniors Pal Adams, and Reta Beck from Hutchinson, Kim Woodmansee from Overton, and Fran Gee from East. The juniors were Gwin Bender from Hutchinson, Barbie McKee from Germantown, and Happy Stratton from St. Mary ' s. The boys corps included Mac Caradine, Jimmy Wetter, Jesse Wessberry, and Martin Clough. After many weeks of long hard summer practice spent in the perfection of their act, the cheerleaders were prepared for the first pep rally in the fall. The early nervousness was soon channeled into enthusiasm as the pep rally was the most successful one ot the year. Before the football game in Nashville, the girl cheerleaders surprised the student body with a bunny skit. The whole performance was a success ending on a good note with the vocal entertainment of Pal, Christi, and Kim. The goal of a cheerleader is to stimulate student enthusiasm and support, and this year ' s cheerleaders surpassed this goal by their outstanding effort. —-ra - ? - 5 x. 55 SOCIAL COMMITTEE - As head of the social committee, Lou Adams organized an outstanding social curriculum with the help of the rest of the committee. A dance was held after the C.B.H.S. football game with the Country Funk providing the music. The Homecoming Dance featured the Hope and drew a large crowd. The so- cial committee was also responsible for the decorations scheduling of the Clack Din- ing Hall. The student body is greatly indebted to them for this latter service. OFFICE STAFF - The ottice staff comprised of boys who gave up their study halls to work in the office. For this service they received one service point per semester. Duties included collected absentee slips and delivering messages to classes. HALL MONITORS - For the third straight year those brave men known as hall monitors stationed themselves at strategic corners controlling crowds and dispersing riff-raff. In return for risking their lives, the hall monitors received one service point per semester. 56 upper left: Because of the proficiency of the social committee in planning school parties, they are now up for hire on the English music market.

The group shot skeet every Wednesday afternoon and attempted to plan a safari to Africa, which failed for lack of funds. Several shooting tournaments were held to further the competitive spirit. Photography Club Photo enthusiasts pooled knowledge every Wednesday afternoon in the photogra- phy club. Activities included learning the mechanics and art of photography with work sessions in the dark room to learn to develop and print. Some pictures helped to fill gaps in newspaper and annual layouts.

Music Appreciation Club The Music Appreciation Club with its few but dedicated members listened to and discussed composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Debussy, Brahms and Rachmaninoff. The programs each Wednesday also included reports from the members as well as enlightening insight from Mr. Springfield, the group ' s advi.sor. 60 Bridge Club Old hands and beginners met with Mrs. Robinson to share their knowledge of bridge. The be- ginners often showed the veterans a few tricks of their own. Philosophy Club Conservative members of the Philosophy Club were few as the radical view dominated most dis- cussions. Nothing was accomplished, but they gained much experience in impromptu speaking. Travel Club Travel enthusiasts met for the first time to form the Travel Club.

MUS Players The MUS Players successfully undertook the task of improving chapel skits. Under the auspices of Coach Elder, the Players also sponsored a play after Christmas. Chess and Stamp Club Numismatists divided into two separate clubs this year: the stamp and the coin club. Each group met on Wednesday afternoon to trade coins and stamps. Art Club The new MUS Art Club, started this year, received a great amount of popularity from all grades. In this club artists were given a chance to express their own talented ideas on canvas. Chess Club The Chess CHub met under the direction of Mr. Russell in the Library ' and Room 5 to play small games and occasionally chess. Science Club The Science Club earned money by selling hot chocolate and coltce during lunch. Ex- periments were also conducted with rats in ditterent environments. 62 (%eft) Jon Irons, guinea pig for the Science Club, tests elixir of lust.

Pep Club Climbs With School Spirit Under the leadership of Scott Rembert the Pep Club succeeded in presenting an excellent series of skits. Gary Stevens ' wit was augmented by Coz ' s crazy guitar to produce some skits that the faculty even considered worthy of their attendance. It was rumored, however, that the lower forms will not be allowed to attend the skits any- more because the censor board has rated them X . In addition to furthering school spirit in chapel, the Pep Club followed the athletic teams with posters and banners, decorating the gym and goal posts. Much of the school spirit at MUS can be attributed to the hard work of the Pep Club. 64 (Above three) Pep Club generates school spirit through chapel skits.

' ' ' ' ' € ■ - ' ■ •i ' 68 Varsity Track Team Best in School ' s History The 1969 Varsity Track ream won all 4 of irs triangular meets to go undefeated for the second straight year. The Owls then defeated eight other teams to take the annual MUS Invitational, followed by a successful defense ot its district championship in 1968. The fast running Owls suc- ceeded these wins with a second in the Regional Meet and a fifth in the State Meet to complete undoubtedly the greatest track record in the school ' s histor)-. After long months of conditioning, MUS hosted the Tigers of Whitehaven, and it fed a sound 81-46 defeat. This meet was just a sample of the victories to come as in the following encounter, the Owls tallied 100 points against Westwood ' s 56 and Collierville ' s 3. They were also victorious against Hillcrest and Millington, defeating the Vikings 94-41, followed by the Trojans with 27. The fleet- footed Owls coasted to another easy victory with a win over Germantown and Hillcrest with a score of SO to their 43-39, respectively. The MUS Invitational proved to be the closest victory of the year which was won in the final event, giving MUS the needed margin of victory to defeat Frayser 42-40. John Remmers received the much deserved award tor the most valuable athlete of the meet. The defending champion Owls were again favored in the District Meet in which they emerged victorious over Harriett. John Keesee paced the team to victory with a first in the 100 and 440 yard dash. John Remmers was also a double winner, capturing the discus and tying McBride for first place in the shot. Other winners were L. Keesee in the high hurdles, the 440 relay team composed ot Davis. Morro ' w, Wilson, and Perkins, and the mile relay team (Wilson, Wellford, L Keesee, J. Keesee). Each of these wins resulted in a qualification for the Regional Meet.

In the post-season decathlon, J. Keesee, the recipient of the Robert J. Hussey award for the most valuable team member, again represented MUS well by placing second in the grueling 10 event meet in the Regional and fifth in the State Decathlon.

The Hoehn Flop Baby Owls Go Undefeated The ' 69 Junior High track team, under the direction of Coach Mickey Powell, has been the first MUS Junior High track team to achieve an undefeated season. The team, composed of some fifteen runners, set three school records. Eddie Crenshaw, in the 120 yard low hurdle, sur- passed the old time of 15.5 seconds by six-tenths of a sec- ond. Bradford Beck, an eighth grader, reset the 100 yard dash record by one- tenth of a second which makes the new record 11.0 seconds flat. The 440 yard relay team also set a Junior High record. Made up of Bob Haverty, Tommy Hoehn, Eddie Crenshaw, and Brad Beck, the team nicked the old record of 50.0 seconds by two-tenths of a second. The team began the season with a victory over CoUier- ville by a score of 62 to 46. The next encounter was with Westwood, defeating them by a score of 61 to 39. As the team gained momentum, the boys went on to beat Har- ding Academy by a score of 58 to 35. The next meet with Fairly Road was somewhat closer than the first three. The squad won by the slim margin of 57 ' 2 to 56 ' 2. The final two meets were easily won over Collierville and Harding with scores of 76 to 39 and 84 to 49, respectively. -•• Vv..

Tennis Team Captures 4th Straight Regional Title The MUS tennis team was undefeated in seasonal play with seven victories ovet David Lipscomb, Frayser, Millington Naval Base, and CBHS. In addition, they dominated the Re- gional Tournament with a victory over second place CBHS. Outstanding performances were put in by Davis Moser, who placed second in singles, and by the doubles team of Moser and Bailey, which placed first in the doubles with a victory over Pettey and McClure in the finals. As a result of their victories in the Regional Tournament, MUS sent five seniors to the state tournament in Nashville to place a somewhat disappointing fourth. In the Southern Interscholastic Tournament at Chattanoo- ga, Joel Bailey won his division bringing the team a fifth place. Although losing five key seniors.

Much of the season was spent in matches pointed towards preparation for the regional tournament. Although the team consisted of five sophomores, a jun- ior, and two seniors, it showed great poise in marching to a 5-3 record. Victories came at the expense of German- town, Bolton, Westwood, Harriett, and West Memphis, while the Owls were defeated by Whitehaven, Bishop Byrne, and Hillcrest. The major nucleus for the season consisted of junior. Sonny Stephenson, and sophomores Gayden Drew, Tom Lacy, Rob York, and Mark Schandorff Other team mem- bers were John Cady, Parks Dixon, and Jim Petty. By not placing in the regional tournament, the Owls fell short of a state berth, but Sophomore Tom Lacey fired a blistering 71 and landed an individual position in the State Tournament. Many of the team members improved their game as they participated in most of the major summer tourna- ments in preparation for next year ' s season. With the return of six lettermen and with the showing the linksters made last summer, the 1970 edition of the M.U.S. golf team should meet with great success. Right: Petty and Stephenson. Beloiv: Bob York chips as Gayden Drew surmises his next shot. 75 Rebuilding Year for Cross Country Though plagued bv inexperience, this year ' s cross coun- try- ream worked hard and completed a fairly successful season. The two returning lettermen, junior Stan Fri and Captain Lou Adams, led the team in practice runs totaling over 200 miles during the three month season. After two weeks of tough conditioning, the Owls met Westwood and Germantown in the first of four triangular meets, losing this opener to the Westerners 22-38 fol- lowed bv Germantown with 50. However, the results changed m the next meet when MUS defeated Germantown and Bartlett bv a score ot 19- 45-74. respectively. Inexperience hindered the voung squad in the remain- ing nvo meets as MUS was defeated by Wooddale in a close 32-36 battle and Countv Champions. Hillcrest, 2 - 4 . In the larger meets, in which over ninety runners parti- cipated, the Owls tared no better, finishing behind the top teams. As a whole, the team ' s results were pleasing.

First Year Independents Owls Have Successful Season The 1969 Football team inaugurated a new era bv playing the first independent and undoubtedly the toughest schedule in MUS histon . In the season opener, the Owls hosted the Golden Bears of Jackson. Tennessee, who were rated as the number 1 team in the state. The first half was basically one ot detense as each team tallied only one score. McGeorge ' s conversion kick allowed the Owls to end the halt with a one point lead. In the sec- ond half, the offenses jelled as Jackson scored two touchdowns, while halting MUS drives twice inside their ten-yard line and resulting in a final score of 20- . The next game against CBHS began as an exciting crowd thriller with Perkins returning the open- ing kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown. With the extra point kick good by McGeorge. the Owls gained an easy seven point advantage over the heavily favored Purple Wave. The second halt proved to be fatal again for MUS when the Brothers completed a pass for the two point conversion after a steady drive for the touchdown. The remainder of the game was a scoreless battle resulting in a ven- disheartening 8-6 defeat. The 4 ' -0 victory over hapless East High proved the proficiency of the unrecognized Owls. The con- servative ground attack amassed an impressive 362 yards rushing, while the Mustangs were held to only 56 yards by the strong Owl defense led by captain Lynn Green. The MUS regulars, by halt-time, had established a commanding lead which earned them a well desen ed rest as the second squad tilled in. 78 Coach Take Rudolph discusses the next plav with quartetback, Tom Jones.

Above left: The vivacious cheerleaders lead the Owls onto the field. 79 The Owls met the third set back in four starts as they faced Brownsville on the Tomcats ' home field. At the halfway mark, MUS trailed fifth ranked Brownsville by a shaky two points. The 23-6 final score did not display the Owls ' true prowess as the team twice pushed inside the 10 yard line only to be thwarted by the Tomcats ' tough defense and an interception which was returned for a touchdown. Eleventh ranked Covington spoiled the Owls return to their home field as they dealt them a 20-0 defeat. Mistakes, five lost fumbles and secondary mixups, plagued the Owls all night in this the fourth loss. Travelling to Savannah determined to get in the winning column, the tired up team took the field, on which the tilt was predicted to be a close one, and astounded the Savannah Homecoming crowd by plowing over the Tigers. The team overcame first half mistakes to tally 40 points in the second half, while compiling 401 yards rushing. This victory began the New Season for MUS. The game, however, was not as profitable as tackle Ralph Braden was injured for the rest of the season. l.ijP ' liiTf f-T Above left: McRae intercepts an astray East High pass.

They received double satisfaction upon win- ning the Homecoming tilt and evening the series with the Big Red, who finished number I in 1968. The Overton Rebels were spooked in the Hallow- een night battle at Hull-Dobbs Field. Quarterbacks Murphy and Jones engineered the Owl attack, each accounting for double scores. The 41-6 triumph in this must game proved the Owl ' s talent to the city power. In the season finale at Nashville, the Owls again put together a balanced attack to methodically crush BGA, 19-6. Murphy, with his aerial attack, was 100% effective and led the Owls to their fifth victory which claimed a winning season. As a result of an admirable showing, the Owls made in independent play, MUS gained respect as an upcoming power in the state this year.

After many weeks of preparation, the Baby Owls were handed a disheartening defeat at the hands of Messick. At the half, MUS had a con- vincing 18-8 lead, but the Panthers played catchup football a nd pulled out a 20-18 victory. MUS ' next game was an easy win over Munford. The Owls outrushed them by 200 yards and defeated them 20-8. The team next travelled out of town where they lost to a strong Coving- ton team. MUS captured two quick touchdowns in the first quarter, but then the Wildcats ' offense jelled and they won the game, 36-14. In their next outing, the Owls repeated their former performance against Munford, defeating them 20-8. The Junior Owls posted their third win of the season by beating Horn Lake in a real cliff-hanger. The teams battled to an 8-8 tie at the half, after which MUS pulled out a 14-8 victory. The last tilt for MUS was against Sheffield in which the Owls had over 200 yards rushing and beat the Knights 20-0, ending season on successful note.

The season ' s opener was no contest as the Mustangs were dominated in every category. Balanced scoring by the Owls clenched the victory, settmg the winning pace for the remainder of the season. Against arch rival Germantown, the Owls offensive attack, ignited by Davidjones, burned the Devils. Jones again led MUS against Collierville with 24 points and 11 rebounds as the Dragons ,were skin by a strong second half The following game, MUS easily handled a weak Westside team. The team ' s best offensive performance of the year came against Oakhaven where Wearen Hughes came ott the bench to tally 23 points. Then the strong Fraysar Rams were presented a game winning 23 point fourth quarter by MUS, sparked by the clutch play of Gary Stevens and the enthusiasm of the fledgling Buzzards. The undefeated state-ranked White Station Spartans were the Buzzards first full meal. MUS never trailed as they held the Spartans ' two big guns, Cook and Markwell, to a combined 20 points. The inspired play ot the littlest Owl, Jimmy Ogle, with 21 points, led the team ' s effort. The Owls were flat after this first key victory of the season, but Jones came out on top of- fensively after the usually strong second halfi dunng which the Wooddale Cardinals ' wings were clipped. Ringing in 1970, the Buzzards cleared their heads by cheering the team to another viaory over Collierville, marked by the extremely fine play of Buddy Best and Ogle. MUS secured its second key victory in terminating the ranked Bartlett Panthers ' eleven game winning streak. The Buzzards, broadcast city-wide, cheered on one of the team s best all around games. Jones turned in his best performance of the year (19 points and 16 rebounds), supplemented by balanced scoring led by Ogle with 23 points. In the first of a weekend double-header, the Big Red of MBA lefi MUS a few shades lighter after Ogle ' s tenacious defense thwarted their play. In the second game, Best guided the Buzzard ' s weary flight over BGA. Thirteen was almost an unlucky number as it took an overtime effort by MUS to conquer the determined Hillcrest Vikings. Tom Berdeja led the Owl ' s scor- ing with 12 points. Surmounting a long bus ride to CMA for their fifth game in eleven days, the team set its record at 14-0. Steve Morrow, breaking into the starting lineup for the first time, paced the Owl charge against the Bulldogs with his season ' s high of 19 points.

Upset-minded Savannah came to the Mid-South Coliseum only to be defeated after the Owls dimin- ished a first quarter lead of nine points. Down by one at the half, MUS tested its bench strength by playing all ten Buzzards while Sa- vannah played only five men. Jones ' fantastic play, Ogle ' s ball han- dling, and Hughes ' ability to break the press were the key factors in the Owl Triumph. In a feather- mffling contest against Bolton, Berdeja and Hughes kept the Buzzards flying until the last second rebound by Best cinched the game. The following Friday, in a well-played game, MUS had four players in double figures, dominating one of the best West Tennessee teams, Martin. Out for revenge against the Christian Brothers, the cane-waving Buzzards backed the team ' s second half explosion. Best led the four Owls in double figures with 19 points. After beating Middleton, the Buzzards played their last home game against the Millington Trojans. Once again, MUS had four players in double figures as the Seniors left their home roost in a Ijlaze of glory. Whitehaven, out to prove that they were a team worthy to re- ceive votes, evenly played the Buzzards through three quarters. Being only eight minutes away from an undefeated season, howev- er, the Owls easily soared to their goal of 22 victories and losses on February 17, 1970. In Tournament play the Owls won their first game against Ov- erton, behind the 27 point offensive punch of Jones. In their next three games, the Owls played physically stronger teams. Unable to break Capleville ' s press, the Owls lost their first game to the Cava- liers, 56-52. In their next game, the Buzzards ' wings were clipped again by City Champion Melrose, 79-56. A third helping of dark meat was too tough for the Buzzards, as they lost their final game of the year to Booker T. Washington, 58-43- The season ended on a good note, as Jones was named to the All District team and Ogle to the All District and All Regional teams and second team All State.

Opposite page: Berd converts a rebound into an Owl score QA In Retrospect The 1969-1970 Memphis University School Varsity Basketball Team had the best record of any previous Varsity team at MUS. Breaking the school record of 19 straight victories, the Owls went on to compile a 23 game winning streak, outlasting all other undefeated teams in the state. Though never given due recognition in the state polls, they continued their winning ways by knocking off some of the state ' s recognized powers. The new born spirit here, embodied in the Buzzards, contributed significantly to this win- ning season. The Sports Staff of the OWL would like, at this time, to commend the Buzzards for their enthusiasm and congratulate the team for their outstanding effort. 99 B Buzzards Battle Bravely The B team, coached by Mr. Larry Shurlds, with hopes set for a victorious season, played its first game against East High. The Owls easily handled the Mustangs behind the 14 point shooting of Eddy Crenshaw, backed up by Joel Hobson with ten points and Tommy Peters with nine. But against German- town, MUS never generated enough steam as they trailed the entire game. Ron Halle led the gallant effort with 14 points. Collierville and Westside fell easily before the Owl charge as Crenshaw led the scoring both nights with 14 points. At Oakhaven, Stewart Crisler paced the Owls with 11 points as a stingy defense held the Hawks to ten points in the first half MUS led a tough Frayser team the entire game, but lost in the last minute by four points. Crenshaw and Wellford supplied the offensive ammunition with 12 and ten points respectively. With three seconds left on the clock, MUS had a one point advantage over White Station, but the Spartans conquered on a last second shot. Wellford paced the Owls in this dishearten- ing defeat. In another close one MUS bounced back from a first half deficit of 12 points only to fall short in overtime by two points to Wooddale. Then the downcast B Team lost to Collierville by one point in a poorly played game. In a see-sawing battle against Bartlett MUS came out on the short end again. Wellford, with his season ' s high of 21 points aided the attempt against the Panthers, in the fourth straight loss by less than three points. The Buzzards then collected their feathers and winged over Hillcrest, never trailing the Vikings. At CMA, Chuck Morris with his best performance of the year with 16 points, leashed the Bulldogs in Franklin. Back home the Buzzards harassed Bishop Byme the entire game winning handily behind the 12 point performance of Halle. The leading rebounder on the team, Peters ' eight points could not lift the Owls over Bolton despite an outstanding MUS fourth quarter. The Buzzards countered this loss by beat- ing a good Overton team by a large margin. The victory how- ever was bittersweet as two MUS cagers, Peters and Hobson sustained injuries. Attempting recovery, the Buzzards lost to CBHS after the Brothers defense held the Owls to ten points the first half and stiffled a second half charge. Wellford was again on top offensively followed by Jim Petty. At Middleton, Crenshaw, Halle, and Wellford overcame unfavorable conditions to boost the Buzzards record to 9-8. In their victorious home stretch MUS presented the Trojans with the gift of defeat as Wellford and Crenshaw guided the Buzzards over Millington. Terminating the season MUS grabbed the Whitehaven Tigers by the tail. With the 14 point performance of Crenshaw and Morris the grip was never relin- quished as the Buzzards cemented their season ' s record at 11-8.

Junior High Nets Successful Season The Junior High team again directed bv Coach Jim Wright was led bv Jim Varner, Chip Lmdsay, Bea Wellford, Lee Drew and Joe Sanders. In the season ' s opener against Munford, the big gun of the Junior High, Varner, led the triumphant Owls with 16 points. The following game, the Archers of Sherwood proved no match. The Baby Buzzards next faced a tough Collierville team in their first defeat of the season. Varner again led the scoring with 15 points. Still down, M.U.S. lost the next three to Germantown, CBJHS, and Colonial. The Owls finally jumped back into the winning column when Lind- say pumped in 12 points to pace MUS against Whitehaven. The team gained valuable playing experience against Horn Lake, who were al- lowed only three field goals the entire game, securing the fourth straight victory for the Owls in eight starts. In the next victory against Covington, Varner had his season ' s high of 22 points. The Buzzards again met Collierville in a close contest, but the Drag- ons came out on top after a strong fourth quarter. The Tigers proved to be no trouble as Whitehaven was defeated in the next game, fol- lowed by victories again over Horn Lake and Covington. In the first meeting against Catholic, the Owls were successful in the close battle with the Terriers. Fired up after this win MUS revenged their setback against CBJHS. The game was won in overtime when Varner sank a 20 footer at the buzzer to put the Owls ahead for the first time. This sweet victory was the last of the regular season, though, as the Buzzards were grounded by Germantown, Hillcrest, and Catholic in the last three tilts. The Owls won their first game of the District Tournament against Bishop Byrne, after a defensively strong first half but were eliminated by Shadowlawn after relinquishing an early lead in the final game of their 11 win-9 loss season. r Right: Two for Drew! 102 J.

Having founded the school in 1955, he has gradually expanded the enroll- ment to its present size of approximately 450 stu- dents. His constant visits to various colleges and at- tendance at a number of out-of-town conferences has made this increase possible - yet he remains a familiar figure around campus. Colonel Lynn ' s major duties about school are the hiring of faculty members, the acceptance ot new stu- dents, and the supervision of academic affairs. Col. Lynn also shows visitors around the campus whenever possible. Dr. Lynn holds many degrees as a result of his long college career. He attended Presbyterian College, the University of North Carolina, Duke LIniversity, and Memphis State University. The degrees which he holds are an A.B., an LLD., and an M.A. t06 Associate Headmaster Doss Thorn is generally consid- ered the most knowledgable man about MUS. He is en- gaged in a variety of administrative and disciplinary duties throughout the school weeks. Mr. Thorn has a great deal to do with the counseling of seniors applying to college and arranges many of the university interviews on campus. He is involved in the scheduling of classes for all students and holds a number of conferences with both parents and pupils. In addition to his administrative chores, Mr. Thorn teaches an Algebra II class. Coach Thorn attended Memphis State and the Univer- sity of Tennessee and holds a B.S. and M.A. degree. Before coming to MUS in 1955, he played baseball for the Mem- phis Chicks. MR. DOSS E. THORN Academic Dean Leigh MacQueen has participated in a large number of activities throughout school this year.

Miss McCorkle is eagerly looking forward to the completion of the new Library and Learning Center. Office Staff The office staff, composed of Miss Easum, Mrs. Greene, and Mrs. Kirby, has been greatly involved in the supervision of school activities. Miss Easum, who also taught typing this year, was quite active in the area of student affairs. Absentees, tardies, and school dismissals were all part of her many duties. Mrs. Greene served as financial secretary for the school. Such things as tuition payments and administrative budgeting were brought into her area of work.

Lou was voted the most popular guy in the senior class and he is truly popular; with Happy and Rosemary, and with Laura, and last, but not least, with Miss Connie. Not only does Lou come in first place with girls, but he also puts forth a first place effprt in athletics, as is evidence by being a mem- ber of both the track and cross country teams for three years. Lou ' s efforts are not limited to athletics. As vice-President of the Student Council, he has produced some great school parties. Lou will always be remembered for his hunting expeditions on Massey Road. Warren Wilkerson Ayres Track 1, 2, 4; Annual Staff 1; Pep Club 2, 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. The Kriter Kritter, as Warren is fondly known, finds his most appeal- ing female companions at a very fine eating place. The Krystal? It was here he first solidified his relationship with dear Susan. His White Bomb is also famous for its unused potential as a reconverted lawnmower. One of the original Buzzards he attends every game and lets everyone know his pres- ence. His New Orleans trip was the longest that he has every stayed in the city of the French, but Warren loved every minute of it. Just remember Warren, that wearing a flag is illegal. Too bad; it seeips that all Warren needs is a cop. Michael Allen Baber Social Committee 1; Skindiving Club 2; Philosophy Club 3; Pep Club 4. Mike is one of the more outstanding members of our senior class. He is famous not only for his academic excellence but also for his Herculean ef- forts in gym. He is a member of the Pep Club and is an avid athletic support- er. His car is famous for its speed and its four-on-fhe-floor stick that even the Mother Apple fears. He frequents Cfapthi and certain female visitors that attend. New Orleans was also on Mike ' s Christmas itinerary. In this city that never sleeps, Mike really outdid himself He found a club that no other Memphis people found. Everywhere he looked, he was encircled by bars; not the drinking kind, but he did spend one night in peaceful sleep. 120 Joseph Earl Baker National Honor Society 3, 4; Cum Laude 3, 4; Civic Service Club 3, 4; Bridge Club 2, 3; Newspaper Staff 3, 4; Annual Staff 2. Joe is one of the most outstanding scholars of the senior class and as a re- sult of this is a member of both the National Honor Society and Cum Laude Society. He is also very artistic and lends his talents to both the newspaper and the Civic Service Club. Joe ' s main lair is Huckaba ' s Hideaway and is often seen ferverently under the auspices of our famed librarian. An ardent member of Cfapthi, Joe never fails to make his weekly rendezvous with Blanche. He is one of the few MUS seniors that is constantly a Dean ' s Schol- ar and of this, he can be proud. Thomas Beatty Berdeja Basketball 2, Captain B-Team 3, 4; News paper Staff 1, 2, 3, 4; Comm. of Student Welfare 4; Quill Scroll; Cum Laude Society; Pep Club 3; Letter- man ' s Club 4. Tom was this year ' s recipient of the William F. Buckley Award for Out- standing Character. His opinions are often stated on the editorial page and this affords him a chance to use his extensive vocabulary. Tom is well known for his deep admiration and good relations with the faculty, as is evi- denced by his close friendship with the Academic Dean. When he is not having enjoyable discussions with our teachers, he is engaging in another form of activity, whether it is on the basketball court or making speeches for the Civic Service Club. Tom ' s two favorite sayings are Zilch my dorkia and Pompous what.

As president of the senior class, Benz has the responsibility of collect- ing senior class dues, which is a heck of a job in itself. One of his duties is setting a fine example for his fellow classmates, which this year, has been totally above reproach. Steve has contributed highly to the increase in school spirit, mainly by his origination of Buzzard Punch. Steve has many hobbies, of which bird shooting plays a predominate part. Speaking of fowl, Suzie seems to be as talkative as ever with Steve. Above all, Steve will be re- membered for his nomination for President of the Student Council, which itself speaks for his character. 121 William Douglas Booth Football 3, 4; Tennis 1; Chess Club 1; SkindivingClub 2; Bridge Club 3. Doug has been unusually active in school this year. He was a member of a certain club known only as the smoke for lunch, bunch. His main love, Mary J., has played an important role in his life, whether it be in school, or out. All kidding aside, Doug made a real contribution to this year ' s football team, having participated for three years. Also, he worked this summer in the hos- pital, where he learned much about medicine and spinning yarns. Ralph England Braden Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3; Newspaper Editor 4; Quill Scroll; Letterman ' s Club; Hunting Fishing Club 2; Bridge Club 3; Pep Club 4. Ralph the Rhino, not the wine-o, was a landslide choice for the Most School Spirited. Ralph goes to all the basketball games and lets the referees feel his presence by his unique cheers. Coach Peters refers to him as his sixth man because he really puts the screw to the other team. He is studying to be an investment counselor and tries out his theories in his capacity as Busi- ness Editor of the Newspaper and as collector of senior dues. Two of his theories are: Ole Miss five-to-one over Arkansas and Seven card stud, i low-hole wild, roll your own. Charles Benson Cannon Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Letterman ' s Club; Muse Staff; Newspaper Staff 4; Chairman of March of Dimes 4; Civic Service Club 4. Charles, otherwise known as Mister O in the elite Who ' s Who circles, headed up the March of Dimes drive this year. He asked the seniors and jun- iors to come, but he ordered everyone else to participate, with threat of death for non-supporters. Charles ' many loves stem from his desire to date college girls. All the gals at Hutch were simply aghast and tremendously dis- appointed when this was revealed. Also, Charles may be seen trying to pawn off some suits at Dalion et Rae. Seriously, he played football this year and made an outstanding contribution to the team, as he will tell you. 122 Philip McGeorge Caradine Basketball 2, 3; Student Council 2, Treasurer 3; Honor Council President 4; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Cheerleader 3, 4; Annual Staff 3. Mac is one of the outstanding seniors in the class. He was elected as presi- dent of the Honor Council and has done an excellent job in furthering the spirit and ideals of the Honor System. His everlasting love and passion for Barbie will never be forgotten. It appeared that Mac called many Honor Council meetings when no person was to be interrogated, just to get out of math class. In Nashville, Mac was one of the driving forces in getting all the spirit at the game. Certainly, Mac has used his influence as a cheerleader and as Honor Council President to set a perfect example for all to follow. William Steuben Carpenterjr. Football 1, 2; Annual Staff Editor 3, 4; Property Manager 3, Asst. Stage Manager 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Pep Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. Bill is one of the older members of our senior class, at least he tries to make some people think so. He is also a member of the Dirty 4, an organi- zation to promote spirits at the football games (especially out of town). KnoxviUe is just a short jaunt for Bill who frequently goes to get Mrs. Car- penter. But while in Knoxville, Bill loves the corner of Beale and Hernando (goin ' my way, sweetheart?) Before he got hooked on the Happy Miller Habit, Bill was one of our best French speaking nature students. Especially happy with flowers or as he said it Le Fleur. (Carol) Bill will always be re- membered for his trunk, that never stayed open during Hunting and Fishing Club meetings. Malcolm Samuel Cone Cross Country 1, 2; Track 2; Pep Club 2, 3; Student Council Chaplain 4; Lettermen ' s Club 4. Mac does everything in style. In fact, all of Mac ' s life is styled after one person, Budy Bob. Also, Mac does everything in progression. He progressed from Pheobe to better things in the shape of Brenda. His second love also has progressed. It went from track, in which he was outstanding, to horses, in which he is equally proficient. His Tarzan-Turkey Trot style has changed to a more tight style, the one of dribbling to the Coliseum. He is also best known as one of the few top-heavy cheerleaders that replaced our real cheer- leaders during Homecoming. Mac will always be remembered. 123 John Cosgrove Staff Writer for Newspaper; Civic Service Club; March of Dimes; Leuke- mia March; National Honor Society. Wah-Pedal Coz, formerly known as the Fuz-who-wuz, came to this hallowed institution from New Orleans. He brought with him much knowledge that is needed in today ' s world, such as the bore and stroke of the first car ever produced by Edsel. John became active in the school very soon and is a member of the Civic Service Club and the writer of the Newspaper ' s car column. John ' s main claim to fame is his fast fingers on that super-slick guitar of his. While the student body stands in awe, John performs such musical scores as Boogie. Frank Boyd Crumbaugh Actor in School Play 3, 4; Commissioner of Student Activities 4; Photog- raphy Club 1; Hunting Fishing Club 2, 3- By his outstanding performance in The Male Animal, Frank endeared himself to the entire student body as a renown thespian. Although Frank looks more like a teacher than one of our shady faculty members, Frank lowers himself to attend at least one class a day. He wishes to become a min- ister, but it will be a difficult road to travel if Frank continues to frequent all the cast parties. Frank ' s variety of dates complements his future chastity as a minister, and now he is labeled as the Don Juan of the pseudo- intellectuals. When Frank got his new glasses, he appeared to acquire a new oratorical ability, and his wide vocabulary is topped only by his school spirit. John Herbert Curtis Jr. Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Annual Editor; Quill Scroll; Chess Club 2; Philoso- phy Club 3; Fencing 3; Music Appreciation 4. John is one of the true epicureans of our class and follows their creed to the hilt. A prominent fashion plate of MUS, John can always be seen wear- ing exotic cloths from his trips to the four corners of the earth. He has been a mainstay on the tennis team for the past three years and is also a section ed- itor of our beloved annual. John is sometimes mistaken for Bacchus and al- though he claims to be mortal, his barber wonders if any human could have such golden locks. Although his love affair with Kathy was rather short, it is known that on any given day, he will be ready to ride. 124 Herbert William Davis Football 1; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 3; Paper Staff 2, 3, 4; Cum Laude Society; National Honor Society; Quill and Scroll; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. One of Memphis University School ' s true scholars, Herb was this year ' s only National Merit Finalist. He is consistently on the Dean ' s List and al- ways amazes all when he relates his grades to others. Herb is not one sided, though. He also was elected to the National Honor Society. Sports has also played a great part in Herb ' s school career. He has been a member of the track team and this year hopes to be more successful. He was elected as the Most Intelligent senior, but all began to wonder when he sat with his date on Overton ' s side during the District Tournament. William Joe Denton Hunting and Fishing 3, 4; Pep Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. The legend, Billy Denton, more than any other senior, is a legend in his own time. Every weekend is adventure time and every Monday is story time. That Billy is alive is amazing. He tried to teach his gray car to swim and his white car to fly. The river got the first car, Memphis ' finest got Billy and the second. Needless to say, Billy and the judge became well acquainted. An avid fan of the Owls, rumor has it that he never passed at a game. Weather conditions often made hunting on school days more desirable than classes. Classmates will remember him for his famous last words, Welp, no school tomorrow. Edward Fargason Erb Hunting and Fishing Club 1, 2, 3; Pep Club 3, 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. Fargason is one of the most versatile members of the senior class, being active in many school functions. It appears that he is not always welcome at some of the school parties, but he doesn ' t lose any sleep over missing them. Much of Fargason ' s out-of-school activities are based upon hunting. He is one of the most avid sportsmen in the school. Sometimes he even puts hunt- ing over school. In P.E., he is the backbone of his athletic team, being a veri- table basketball star. Also, Fargason is a member of the Memphis Polo Asso- ciation and devotes much time to that aspect of sports. An owner of a super-car, Fargason discovered early that parking was more fun than driving. 125 David Thomas Gildart Science Club, President 2, 3, 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4; Leukemia Drive 1, 2, 3, 4. One of the more talented members of the senior class, Bulldog holds the record for absences due to illness. Dave is greatly admired for his in- tegrity and honesty. As an ex-officio member of the police force, Po- licedog is a dispatcher.(sure!) Bulldog drives his super-fast Z-28 to school about one day a week, and the other days it ' s being repaired from his work- ing on it. We will always remember Bulldog as being in the Lounge at least four periods a day or on the look-out for Coach Thorn. Alexander Wakefield Gordon Commissioner of Athletics 4; Chairman of Magazine Drive 3; Quill and Scroll 4; Paper Staff 2, Editor 3, 4; Annual Staff 3, 4. As Commissioner of Athletics, Wake has worked very hard for the school and is definitely one of the mainstays of the Senior class. His wit, only sur- passed by his luck with girls, never fails to come through. His efforts were not restricted to life at school. His weekends are spent at the Dobbs House developing his famous wry wit. Wake is also very famous for his helmets. Although he is usually unsuspecting, his dates usually slip one in soon. Well, Wake, a Helmet here, a helmet there, what does it matter? Slip will c ontinue to jest about the helmets, even though he is crying on the inside. Raymond Lynn Green Football 1,2,3, Captain 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Pep Club 4; Lettermen ' s Club President 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, Publicity Chairman 4, While attending MUS for six years, Lynn has gone through three motor- cycles, three cars, two riding lawnmowers, and a go-cart. When not riding around town, Lynn centers his time on tootball and weight lifting. This year ' s football captain used his quickness on and ott the field. After losing his love last winter, Lynn ' s exceptional range has taken him from Panama City to the MUS cheerleaders. Humble in victory and never admitting defeat (Pal), Lynn always takes advantage of the breaks, and when they come his way, he takes advantage of them. Everybody knows a little about Lynn, but nobody knows a lot. 126 127 Ralph Frederick Hamilton Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Photography Editor of Paper; National Honor Society; Quill and Scroll; President of Photography Club 4; March of Dimes. Ralphie as he is affectionately known to his classmates, has left his mark on MUS as a great photographer. Famous for portraying through pic- tures, Things as they really are, Ralph also hopes to leave his mark on the MUS tennis team. He certainly will leave his car scattered around town as his unique tennis form fades into those college skies and as he searches for his dream girl throughout the countryside. With the approach of a new car in his life, Ralphie is on the brink of discovering what it ' s all about. C. Bennet Harrison Football 3, 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 2, Secretary 3; St. Jude ' s Drive 3; March of Dimes 3, 4; MUS Players 4; Pep Club 4. Football and football players are Ben ' s main claim to fame. By being a member of the football team, he quickly fell into place with all the other popular, dedicated athletes. Although he did not letter last year, Ben re- ceived quite an honor by being awarded the Spirit Award for the football team. Football is not the only sport that is his forte. His skill as a lunch basketball player has gotten him the name of Benny-on-the-ball. Ben is a member of the newly created MUS Players and has shown his acting talents to be extraordinary. He has been an integral part of our class and without him, the class would very definitely be lacking in personality, charm, and wit. Robert Austin Hoehn Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Annual Staff 2, Underclassmen Editor 3, Editor-in-Chief 4; Quill and Scroll; National Honor Society 3, 4, President 4; March of Dimes; St. Jude ' s; Skin Diving Club; Music Appreciation Club 4; Fencing Club 3. Bob is one of the class of 70 ' s true individuals. He is not a follower, but a leader, as is proven by his number one position on the tennis team, editor- ship of the annual, and presidency of the National Honor Society. A person of genuine class, Humble Hoehn sees himself as a mixture between the Sundance Kid, Erroll Flynn, and Don Juan. A fashion innovator and dis- tinctive dresser. Bob was voted Best Dressed by his classmates. The aestheti- cally inclined Hoehn will long be remembered for his Hamlet soliloquys, the twilight annual marathons, his romantic dreams of becoming a bull fighter, his amorous adventures in Overton Park, and his ability to com- pletely dumfound football players. 128 Louis Wearen Hughes Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2; Student Council 3; Honor Council Vice- President 4; National Honor Society; Lettermen ' s Club; Hunting and Fish- ing Club 3; March of Dimes. Besides being one of the more popular members of the class, Wearen is also one of the more active. He is a member of the Honor Council and the undefeated basketball team. One of the better students in the class, he is a member of the National Honor Society. Voted Friendliest, Wearen was a close competitor for Wittiest with his sparkling humor. Among his many accomplishments are his adroitness at ping-pong and a certain young lady in Arlington. However, Wearen ' s greatest accomplishment is the manner in which he has endeared himself to his classmates. Robert Walker Hummel Chess Club 2, 3; Civic Service Club 3, 4; March of Dimes. Throughout his high school career, Robert has shown great interest in the welfare of both the community i n general and especially St. Jude ' s Hos- pital. This concern has manifested itself through his participation in the var- ious drives and activities of the Civic Service Club; Robert was in charge of the St. Jude ' s Drive in 1969 for MUS. His school service has included work in the bookstore and hall monitoring. Robert ' s outside interests are flying and chess: at both he is uncommonly proficient. Robert Hunter Humphreys Football 2, 3, 4; Track 2; Baseball 4; Student Council 2, 4; Social Com- mittee 2, 4; Skin Diving 2; Philosophy Club 3; Lettermen ' s Club 4; March of Dimes. Hunter tells us that the streets of Memphis will be wet with the tears of his gidfriends when he departs for college, but his heart too will ache as he has to leave behind his true love, Cheebie in Montgomery, Alabama. Hun- ter ' s interests range from the mirror, to the weight machine back to the mir- ror. Hunter ' s desire to succeed in athletics is only surpassed by his devotion to Anne. Hunter has not only proved himself a leader on the athletic field, but also as an active member of the Student Council. He will always be re- membered by his classmates for his witty impersonations of Coach Wright and the other quoteworthy teachers. 129 William Dearing jemison Tennis 2; Annual Staff 2, 3, Editor 4; Social Committee 4; Dramatics Club 3, 4; Quill and Scroll; National Honor Society (sec.-treas.); Hunting and Fishing Club 1, 2, President of Music Appreciation Club 4; Fencing Club 3. Bill has accomplished himself in many fields, both in and out of school. He has achieved success in academics and was a key man on the yearbook staff, resulting in membership in both the National Honor Society and the Quill and Scroll. Bill has also proven himself admirably in the area of Scout- ing. One of the more talented members of the class, Bill has had a major role in three MUS plays and is willing and able to swoon any giri at any time with his repertoire of Simon and Garfunkel songs on his guitar. Along with his many accomplishments, Bill is to be admired for his sincerity and out- standing character. Richard Clark Johnson Tennis 1,2; Paper Staff 2, 3, Editor-in-Chief 4; Annual Staff 2; Muse Staff 3; Cum Laude Society; National Honor Society; Quill and Scroll. Ole Ricko is still wandering around trying to get that treasure he so much reveres, a varsity letter. He ' s taken up nearly every sport in the book to find something he might letter in, and has finally come up with a possibili- ty, tennis. As one of the more intelligent members of this year ' s senior class, Rick seems to have taken his senior year seriously. As the Editor-in-Chief of the Owl ' s Hoot, he has upgraded the quality of the school paper, and made it a publication everyone can be proud of. His thespian endeavors will long be remembered because the door fell and almost hit him in Charley ' s Aunt. Wallace Edward Johnston Basketball Manager 2, 3, 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 4; Skindiving Club 2; Annual Staff 3, 4; March of Dimes 2, 3, 4. By having the majority of his fantastic wardrobe monogrammed, Wally became known as WEJ. His superb attire can only compare to his great new shape, which is attributed to his Betty Crocker 5 Day diet plan. Wally claims to be a member of the Annual Staff but his position is not yet known, by anybody. He is well known, however, for his presence around the library ' s back room and publication ' s room. Being a basketball manager, Wally is liked by the whole team and coaches, but still is not loved by the students because he will not allow them to use the team basketballs during the half-time of our varsity games. 130 David Michael Jones Football 1; Tennis 1; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Bridge Club 3, 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. David ' s contribution to MUS spans both athletics and community serv- ice. In basketball, David ' s rebounding and scoring ability were greatly ap- preciated by both the spectators and the coaches. In several games, he was able to keep the Owls in the game while other players had momentary slumps, and he has often been the team ' s leading scorer. The community has benefited from David ' s assistance in both the March of Dimes and the St. Jude ' s March in each of his high school years. David has also served as presi- dent of the youth organization at St. George ' s Episcopal Church. Samuel Richard Leatherman Tennis 4; Pep Club 3, 4; Social Committee 3, 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 3; Captain of the Rahs. Elected as the wittiest member of the senior class, Dick heads the class as one of its foremost humon:ts. Of course, all things are not so funny with Dick. Take his wife for instance. A man true to his word, the ripped stock- ing at Gary ' s was not his fault. Dick is a true blue country boy and he brings to MUS some all-country ribald tales of adventures and intrigue. Of course not all are true, but to listen to him, it would seem so. He hunts everything from little furry creatures to mangy dogs and still swears that United is the only way to go. Henry Gregg Loeb Tennis 1, 2; Civic Service Club 2, 3, 4; Annual Staff 1, 2; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4; Leukemia Drive 1, 2, 3, 4. By having his father in such an office, Henry became known as Mister Mayor. There are benefits and drawbacks to being son of the Mayor, as Henry knows. It helps to know many policemen that work in the East Mem- phis area as Henry does. It often upsets him, though, when students corner him and cross-examine him about the policies of his father, especially when it deals with Portnoy ' s Complaint. Henry is one of the Country Club summer tennis bunch but has not played recendy for MUS. Presently, he is working on a recording studio which will be named SDL Studios. It has been en- joyable having Henry in our class and his spirits will never be forgotten. 131 Joseph Shannon Lovejoy Football 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Civic Service Club 2; Chess Club 3; MUS Players 4; March of Dimes 2, 3, 4. Since Joe came to MUS, he has shown himself to be one of the most en- joyable members of the senior class. His ever-present smile radiates his true personality over all that know him. His amazing basketball prSwess enabled Joe to play in all student-faculty games and demonstrate his ability to score. Joe ' s corsage business could only be topped by his well-known parties for two. Not only has Joe performed well in baseball, but he also proved to be an indispensable asset as an end in football. Joe ' s outgoing personality will always be his trademark and will benefit him tremendously. Harold Love McGeorge Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 1,2; Civic Service Club 3, 4; Lettermen ' s Club 3, 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, Chairman 4. Hal, affectionately known to us as Head, has been heard of everywhere, mostly downtown. This year ' s answer to Dave Draper, Hal is best remem- bered for his great football prowess, which won him a scholarship to Mem- phis State. A member of the Civic Service Club this year, Hal never came to meetings because hs was always lifting weights. Hal and Mrs. Lenti became very close friends suddenly this year, for some odd reason. We all wonder why. Was it her good home-cooking Hal? A real doer, Hal ' s indulgences range from bed-shaking to visiting Anne on the weekends. Kelly Lane McGuire Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Bridge Club 2; French Club 3; MUS Players 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. This year is the first full year that Kelly started on the football team and he has acquired a feared reputation on the gridiron. A two sport player, Kelly was one of the outstanding baseball players of the fantastic MUS team. Kelly also is in the MUS Players and displayed his talents frequendy during our world-renown pep skits. Church life has also played a predominate part of Kelly ' s high school career and he has been appointed as a junior deacon of his Church. Kelly has been active in the school and has set a shining example of dedication as an athlete. I 132 Joseph Lawrence McRae Football 2, 3, 4; Track 3; Student Council Treasurer 4; National Honor Society 3, 4; Cum Laude 3. 4; March of Dinnes; Philosophy Club 3- Since Lawrence has been the Treasurer of the Student Council at MUS, he has apparendy acquired an abundant supply of funds for his weekends activi- ties. Stranger than this, the financial status of the Student Council has reached an all-time low. A true scholar, Elmer is in both the National Honor Society and the Cum Laude Society. In Scouts, Lawrence has set a shining example, attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Also Lawrence sets a shining example of his purity after school on Friday nights. Elmer ' has brought a ver) ' brilliant mind to this school and it is hoped that it leaves that way. George Roberts Madison Football 2; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 3; Pep Club 4; Vice-Pres. Lettermen ' s Club 4; March of Dimes Publicity Chairman. A new threat came onto the car scene when Moody brought his Che- velle SS454. Although George was not fully adept at shifting the gears ac- cording to racing fashion, he proved that his car was not one to be laughed at. A close runner-up for the best dressed senior, George amazes the students in the morning with his continually changing hairstyles. George is also decked out clothes-wise, with his leather jackets and boots capturing the spotlight. George ' s taste in other matters is different, though. Some like them smart, right Georgel Hughes Mayo Basketball Manager 1; Track 2: Skin Diving Club 2; French Club 3; MUS Players Vice-President 4; March of Dimes. Although he came from north of the Mason-Dixon Line, nobody ever held that fault against him. Swiftly he endeared himself to the entire student body. After being in various clubs, Hughes finally decided on the MUS Players, and his popularity gained him thevice-presidenq ' . Also Hughes has been seen frequently on the stage by his amazing guitar- playing feats. Hughes has been very active in his church and church functions. He is pres- ently the vice-president of the West Tennessee District of EYC. We hate to plagiarize, but Penniless ' summation of Hughes is the best found: Hughes has been on the verge for years. 133 Ira Keith Meyer Annual Staff 3, Business Editor 4; Quill and Sctoll 4; National Honor Society 3, 4; Music Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. Keith ' s primary achievements have come in the area of scholarship and journalism. He is a frequent member of the Dean ' s List and is a member of both the National Honor Society and the Quill and Scroll. He is also to be commended for holding down the job of business manager of the yearbook, a painstaking and time consuming job. Despite his hard working and his re- served personality, Keith never misses the opportunity to display his caustic wit and optimism on any subject. Next year the parking lot will never be the same without his exotic foreign sports car. Walker Ivy Milnor Tennis 1, 2; Cross Country 3; Track 3; Civic Service Club 1, 2, 3; Pep Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. Walker finally had to dispose of his world famous sportscar so that his sis- ter could get a brand new Maverick. One of the constant supporters of our athletic teams, Walker finds it easier to cheer during the basketball games since he started his own pre-game warm-ups; not with the basketball team, though. Walker used to be a member of both the cross country and track teams, but he found it more pleasing to be a dissipator instead of a participa- tor. Although Walker is thought of as a one gid boy, he appeared to have had many loves in the back room parties with various females. Fontaine Bruce Moore Hunting and Fishing Club 3; Pep Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4; Leukemia Drive 1, 2, 3, 4. Coming here in his junior year, Fontaine became an immediate hit. Yield- in g to his love for involvement, Flash, one of the most active (?) of his class, joined the Pep Club and participated in many of the school drives. On the Young Life ski trip he was known as the Terror of the Hills, owing to his prowess at the art of falling. However, Fountain does not believe in all work and no play. He likes dances because he enjoys letting himself go. • We enjoy watching him let go, too. Being an active Boy Scout, Fontaine is always concerned with the wild outdoors. He is, perhaps, best known to ' his frequent night trips to the river X to look at the stars. What ' s that oh saying? If at first you don ' t succeed . . . 134 David Coleman Morris C Team 4; Annual Staff 3, Editor 4; Pep Club Treasurer 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4; Leukemia Drive 2, 3, 4. It is odd that David is not going steady but never wears his ring. Maybe he fooled the senior class for the entire year. David is a member of Mr. Nuss- baum ' s fantastic Cee-Team and proved his ability to put the ball in the hole. As editor of the underclassmen section of our annual, Dave discov- ered that all play and no work tends to cause difficulties. None of these how- ever, is his main love. That is Kathy and only Kathy; even if girls from Sweedon pop up. David came into high demand during the first of the bas- ketball season as a Buzzard painter, which with Dave ' s help, contributed greatly to the spirit of the student body. Michael Norwood Murphy Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Social Committee 2, 4; Election Committee 4. Being the son of Memphis State ' s football coach, Spook Murphy, Mike has been exposed to football all of his life and subsequently, he was fully pre- pared for this year ' s football season. His quick reflexes and fast thinking en- gineered our football team to a winning season, a real feat, considering our tough schedule. O or Olympic, as Mike is fondly known, showed his winning form as a sophomore on our MUS basketball B-team. Baseball also was graced by Mike ' s presence on the team. Mike has been one of MUS ' s lov- ers, dating all the girls that have been rejected by their other suitors. Mike will long be remembered for his skill in athletics and unprecedented endu- rance, on the field and off James McAlister Ogle Basketball 1, 2, 3, Captain 4. MUS will remember Jimmy most for his three years of truly dazzhng basketball-handling wizardry. His speed and consistency have made him a highly important member of all three of the Varsity teams for which he has played. Who can forget his brilliant Jerry West layups? Who can forget how he stole the ball from Carver with seconds remaining and made a layup to give MUS a one-point victory in the Regional tournament in 1969; the first ever for an MUS team? Jimmy, has been equally prolific in his church, as he has toured nationally with the First Baptist Church ' s Youth Choir. 135 Who ' s Who Best All Around - BOB WILSON (Upper Left) Most Likely To Succeed - TOM BERDEJA (Upper Right) Most Talented - MIKE SAIN (Middle Right) Most School Spirited - RALPH BRADEN (Right) (Opposite Page) Friendliest - WEAREN HUGHES (Top Center) Most Athletic - JIM OGLE (Upper Right) Best Dressed - BOB HOEHN (Lower Right) Most Intelligent - HERB DAVIS (Bottom) Most Popular - LOU ADAMS (Lower Left) Wittiest - DICK LEATHERMAN (Upper Left) 136 I V Who ' s Who 1970 W- ' ' ■ ' ' .- 4- .J- ' 137 John Douglas Pigott Basketball 3; Tennis 2; Annual Editor Underclassmen 3. Editor Senior Section 4; Assistant Editor of Paper 4; Student Council Parliamentarian 4; Election Committee 4; Constitution Committee 4; Quill and Scroll. Doug has been very active in publications at MUS, as he is an editor for both the newspaper and annual. As a result of his efforts, Doug is a member of the Quill and Scroll. The president of his youth group, he is active in his church and in CEAPTHI. An unsung hero of the Student Council, he has been a true asset to the council as parliamentarian. Due to an injury, Doug was unable to continue playing varsity basketball. Nevertheless, he is current- ly the high scoring ace for the D-squad. A real lady ' s man. Dangerous Doug started the year off right with his move towards bigger and better things in the field of older women. Russell Beverly Ray Science Club 1; Philosophy Club 2, 3; St. Jude ' s Drive 3, 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. When a silver flash of lightning is seen on the roads to and from school, it may be assumed that Bev is on the warpath in his souped-up Cutlass-S. Until this year, Bev ' s ally was the Z-28 whiz where he gained much needed information concerning the maintenance of supercars. Bev has one favorite lunch hangout that he is even willing to receive a parking violation ticket to go there. His Brooks-Brothers attire is well known by all who discuss cloth- ing with him, but his love for our omnipresent peace-keepers is even more well known. Frankly, Bev has been an addition to our class and is a very unassuming and modest senior. Scott Miller Rembert Football 1; Basketball 3; Cross Country 3; Pep Club President 4; Pep Club 2, 3; March of Dimes; St. Jude ' s Drive. Scott is a member of the elite seven-year club at MUS. He has served MUS in many ways. Not only did he contribute through participation as a mem- ber of the Cross Country Team, but also by the deliverance of his stirring dissertations every Friday morning. Scott was also a member of the Dirty 4, a pep organization, and was one of the highest officers of the club. Rembo worked as property manager for the play this year, where he strengthened his relationship with the little costume lady. We really hate to see Scott leave, but we are sure he will serve his college, whichever one it may be. •I 138 Roderick Mark Riggins Cross Countr ' 4; National Honor Society 3, 4; Civic Service Club 4; March of Dimes. Rod was not hindered in the least by having this year as his first at MUS. He quickly gained many new friends by his outgoing personality. Immedi- ately, he became acclimated to the MUS way and has been an avid supporter of all school functions. Being a National Merit Letter of Commendation winner. Rod brings credit not only to his school in West Virginia, but also to MUS. Rod liked the Phys. Ed. basketball program more than Coach Pe- ters Boot-camp as a preparation for his college career. Seriously, Rod is one of the few seniors that has no enemies; male, that is. Michael Lee Sain Civic Service Club Treasurer 3, President 4; Engineering Club 1 ; Photog- raphy Club 2; Glee Club 3; Philosophy Club 4; March of Dimes. Mike, affectionately known as Boo-Boo, well deserved the title of Most Talented as he is musician, photographer, and artist all in one. Mike was also president of the most successful Civic Service Club in school history. He was also a photographer for the yearbook and a member of the pep band. In ad- dition to this, Boo-Boo was a star athlete on all the gym teams. In due re- spect of all his activities, Mike will probably be remembered for his friendly grin and his honest straightforward manner. James Foster Schaeffer Track 1; Football 2; Photography Club 1; Bridge Club 2; French Club 3; Philosophy Club 4; March of Dimes. Although Jim has a fantastic physique, he played no varsity sports this year. He did participate in some pick-up basketball games. His strength did aid him in shooting his long-distance shots. This year Jim was a member of the Philosophy Club and this provided him a place to express his different but definitely respected views. Jim ' s sideburns have been viewed by the en- tire student body since they came into vogue but not all beards at the begin- ning were as prolific as his. One thing that has never been understood is what happened to the punch at his breakfast after the formal. 39 •I Nelson L. Stephenson Football 1; Golf 3, 4; Football Manager 3, 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 2, 3, 4; Quill and Scroll 4; Paper Staff 1, 2, 3, Editor 4; Dramatics Club Stage Manager. Both far and wide rambles this master of hunts, football teams, and girls. Nelson Sonny the Stud Stephenson is on his way to beccming the first professional manager ever to graduate from MUS. His capacuy for manage- ment includes; the stage sets for three plays, the Hunting and Fishing Club, an editor ' s position on the school newspaper, and a certain girl V-T Agg. Highest on his list of managerial conquests however; was his leadership of Jake the Snake in choosing many a football candidate. Gary Earle Stevens Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Cross Country 2; Social Committee 2; Student Council 4; Election Committee 4; Lettermen ' s Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. Gary is a member of the 1969-70 undefeated basketball team. He says that although everyone on the team is great, his two favorites are Bud and Busch. Gary is also known for his famous parties in the back, where he is always being Paged by someone. There is nothing that hasn ' t happened at one of Gary ' s parties. He enjoys the peace and quiet of his cabin in Sardis, huh Gary? He can be heard at all hours of the night and day popping up with his little witticisms such as; people think too much, When I start, I ' ll call you, or good night Lucy. II David Carroll Stewart Library Aid 2, 3, 4; French Club 3; Philosophy Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4; Leukemia Drive 4. David is not easy to characterize. He has served the school untiringly by working in the library as one of Miss McCorkle ' s underfed and unrecom- pensed underlings. David has served his beliefs at school as well as at church by involving himself in the Youth Choir and the Youth Training Union at the Baptist Church in Brownsville. He has also participated in various politi- cal organizations and was especi;illy involved in the National Election of 1968. Howard Stringfellow Basketball 1 ; Editor Muse 4; Quill and Scroll; Philosophy Club 3; Classi- cal Music Club 4; March of Dimes; Arthritis Foundation. Howard Stringfellow, frustrated Thespian, is well known for his caustic humor and frequent outbursts of vituperation. Howard always has a definite opinion on any subject, and after you hear his lengthy dissertations, you teel that you have had electrical therapy and are in a semi-mesmerized state. Howard ' s histrionic abilities are surpassed by his vehement disassociation from the Cutlass Clique. In all seriousness, String ' s nature is introspective and has added a great deal of profundity to the otherwise non-serious senior class. Henry Paul Sullivant, Jr. Football 4; Election Committee 4; Bridge Club 3; Civic Service Club 3; Pep Club 4; St. Jude ' s Drive; March of Dimes 4. There is only one word that can aptly describe Henry, and that word is cool. Henry, who usually travels incognito behind his dark glasses, places himself in command of all situations. Who else could bring his steady from Holly Springs to a weeknight basketball game, break up with her at half- time, take her home, and live to tell about it. Henry ' s personality makes him one of the best liked guys at MUS; and although he started school his junior year, he made it big in the athletics and academics. It is rumored that Henry is rushed every weekend by the S.A.E. ' s at Ole Miss, but how can that be when he ' s still in high school. At Ole Miss as at MUS, Henry charmed ' em all with his favorite greeting Hey Baby. Shepherd Davis Tate Social Committee 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 2; Bridge Club 3; Civic Service Club 4; St. Jude ' s Drive; March of Dimes. Shep has made himself well known to his classmates, in the four years he has attended MUS. Since the time of Shep ' s arrival, he has established him- self as an individual and a leader. He has given much of himself both to his school and to his friends. Shep has become active as a member of the Social Committee and the Civic Service Club. He has proven himself successful as a well-rounded student. Shep is also a member of the National Honor Society and Newspaper Staff. Shep has been distinguished for his male prowess and infamous tyranny over the weaker gender. Frank Geoffrey Thomson Science Club 3; Civic Service Club 4; Lighting Director Dramatics Club 4; March of Dimes 3, 4. In his junior year, Geoffrey came to MUS, and the United States, from the land of the hundred proof. We all feared that the Academic Dean and Geoffrey would constitute a plaid peril, but our apprehensions were calmed by Geoffrey ' s winning way and ability to get along. He contributed greatly to those unbelievable 2M Productions as lighting director and boosted everybody ' s ego with his prowess at gym basketball. Geoffrey, or as he was dubbed, Scottish, endeared himself to all, and will be remembered for his Rover 2000, quick wit, weird socks and ties, and his thoroughly delight- ful brogue. Bayard Snowden Todd Hunting and Fishing Club 1, 2, 3, 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4; Leukemia Drive 1, 2, 3, 4. If anyone has ever heard Snowden talk, it is a rare experience. A very pro- lific hunter, Snowden hunts often but very seldom ever speaks about it. His devotion to hunting is evidenced by his membership in the Hunting and Fishing Club for the last four years. Presently he is taking flying lessons at Hi-Air and hopes to get his license soon. During the summer months, in- dustrious Snowden cut and sold firewood where he netted a tidy profit. Snowden has, in his quiet way, made friends with many students and teach- ers while he has attended MUS. William Click Walker Football 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 3, 4; March of Dimes 3, 4. B. G. came to MUS as a junior and quickly distinguished himself as an avid sportsman. By working in a sporting goods store. Bill made it easy to get the goods he needed to hunt at a discount, but unfortunately, would not extend the privilege to others. As a senior. Bill played football and was very pleased he made a tackle. After one of our post-season football game parties, Glick became famous as the only boy in school whose date craved knee socks. Another first for MUS came with Bill. He is the only boy in the school ' s history that fell in lov e with a classmate. Too bad it had to be a girl. She does drive a Vet, though. 142 Christopher Dunbar Wellford Track 1, 2; Cross Country 1, 2; French Club President 3; Civic Service Club 2; MUS Players 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4. Cross Country Chris came to MUS in the seventh grade; and all through his career at school, when he did talk, Chris had something critical to say about everything. Chris will be remembered as a helper in the library (what about those closed-door sessions in Miss McCorkle ' s office?), his pro- found, though infrequent expositions on just about anything in European history, and some very genuine hard work and our football games. His bril- liant and singularly authentic portrayals of a butler and a neurotic young ar- chitect in those epics oi Charley ' s Aunt and The Mousetrap will never be for- gotten. Chris was one of the few w e never worried about weekend-wise, as he never did anything. Henry Wetter Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 2; Philosophy Club 3; Civic Service Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. Henry will always be remembered by his classmates at MUS. Henry ' s im- pressionistic ways make him hard to forget. It ' s impossible to know Henry without taking note of his individuality, ask McGeorge. Henry possesses that distinctive type of personality which makes him a friend to all and an enemy to none. Henry has contributed much to MUS in his six years of at- tendance. His greatest contribution was to the football team in his three years of playing. Henry is also an active member of the Civic Service Club. Henry has well established himself as a never to be forgotten friend and member of the senior class. James Hunter Wetter Tennis 1, 2, 3; Cheerleader 4; Hunting and Fishing Club 2; Bridge Club 3; Pep Club 4; March of Dimes 1, 2, 3, 4. One of Jimmy ' s main ambitions in life, it seems, is to become president of Cook Industries. Barbera is a great part of Jimmy ' s life, oh what a great part, as he will tell you anytime. It is surprising however, that Jimmy remains faithful to someone so far away. Being a cheerleader and a big brother to 4 Seasons Club, presents a very definite problem. Jimmy promotes spirit at our varsity games and frequents Cfapthi. With his humorous jokes (sure) and wild yarns, Jimmy has been one of the most entertaining seniors, but still keeps his thoughts with Barbera and Fargason. 143 George Judson Whitlock Football 1,2; Basketball 1; Skin Diving Club 2; Civic Service Club 3; Pep Club 4; March of Dimes; St. Jude ' s Drive. Jud ' s real initials are P. W. When he gets upset he gets in the Polar Bear and takes long drives (Franklin). Jud was upset for the first couple of weeks of school because a friend had left for Emory, but the promotion of school spirits by the Dirty 4 soon relieved much of his painful heartthrobbing. At all times Jud, affectionately known as Whithog, may be seen with a Dell comic book in his hands. He also has a hot line to Atlanta which he uses at least once a week. Is it really that hot Jud. Robert Edward Lee Wilson V Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, Captain 4; Honor Council 1, 2; Student Council Secretary 3, President 4; Sports Editor on Newspaper 2, 3, 4; Social Committee 2, 3; Teenager of the Week 4; National Honor Society; Quill and Scroll; Lettermen ' s Club. As Student Council President, Bob has led both the school and the Senior class to new heights. Two of Bob ' s greatest accomplishments are the new Senior lunch privilege and the newly organized Senior skip day. For these and other activities, Bob was voted Best All-Round by his fellow seniors. In addition to his popularity at school, he is the main interest of certain MUS cheerleaders. When not chasing cheerleaders. Bob spends his free time sit- ting at a card table or watching the football game carrying his large invest- ment. Bob relaxes listening to Ronnie sing, with his favorite cheerleader by his side. Well, Bob, forever is a long time. Randle K. Witherington Civic Service Club 2, 3, 4; Chess Club 3; Music Appreciation 4; March of Dimes. Randy is undoubtedly the most devout member of the class. Not many people would get up at 5:30 in the morning to go to church during the week. Although Randy is seemingly mild-mannered around school, he turns into a Mr. Hyde on the weekends with the girls.

Of course every senior class feels his was the best, but the Class of ' 70 has proven them- selves in every aspect of school life. I am sure we all hope that in the years to follow MUS will retain the spirit and pride revived by the 1970 year. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the 1970 year- book staff. Faced against gargantuan odds and ob- stacles, such as no aid from an advisor and a lack of publication experience, they have managed to put to- gether one of the finest yearbooks ever at MUS. I doubt that any of us are not glad the year is over, but nevertheless, 1970 has been a rewarding, as well as remarkable, year. Robert A. Hoehn Editor-in-Chief 199
