MacQueen No other educator has been more involved in the progress of MUS than Mr. Leigh MacQueen. His work with the Student Council, Thespian Society, and American History and Humanities classes is only observed evidence of the long hours that he spends prosecuting the possibilities of improvement, whether for the school or individuals, concerning better facilities or academic counseling. His detailed pursuit of perfection has helped to impart a standard of excellence throughout all of the school ' s curriculum and activities. MUS can be grateful for the dedication of such a valuable leader. ■£ ' Vv £ ftw? S$ 3 ' A . ;S ' %v ' . :■ MUS is set apart from all other schools because students, faculty, and administrators encourage involvement. Traditions motivate responsibility in student government and community service projects. The physical plant has continued to expand, opening new channels for the pursuit of extra-curricular activities such as drama, photography, gymnastics, and tennis in addition to regular athletic teams. The competition inherent at MUS spurs on involvement in the classroom and in the sports arena. The spirit of camaraderie and school loyalty generated wherever MUS is involved creates the lasting ties formed by students between the seventh and the twelth grades. Constant involvement at MUS acts as a catalyst for helping boys mature into men. Student involvement has come to be a tradition at MUS. The example has been set in past years, and no senior class wants to graduate without bettering the records. Students have always rallied for the March of Dimes Drive and the St. Jude ' s money-raising campaign. Has there been a year that an MUS fan could not yell We ' re No. 1 at some athletic event? The student council has always given a Christmas party for orphan girls. The Honor System has never failed to uphold the ideals of mutual trust and integrity. MUS has always taught respect for authority and love of God and country. An MUS student will always involve himself rather than see these traditions vanish through negligence. Tradition dictates that seniors lead the activities of the school. All senior classes boast that their year was the best in the school ' s history. Seniors captain the teams, direct the chapel skits, plan the parties, preside over the honorary and spirited organizations, run the student government, and represent the school. A senior relishes his last year at MUS as a chance to thank the school for the ideals that he has acquired. A senior sets an example for future seniors by his unquestioned leadership, his outgoing spirit, and his patronizing friendliness. A senior class sets its goals a little higher than those goals of its predecessors. Behold the Leaders: The Class of 1971 ' P 1 .-_ ' ' «„ ' ■ ' ■ 110 Growth in terms of physical expansion and a larger student body has allowed for more student involvement at MUS. New facilities such as the student lounge, field house, and library have given students an o utlet during their free time. The addition of the junior school and language labs has accompanied new courses in science, English, and foreign languages, appealing more to the specific interests of each student. Acceptance into the Big Ten League has sparked an additional enthusiasm in athletics, stemming from a desire to prove to these schools just what an MUS team can do. Continued growth at MUS parallels the continued increase in time and money that the faculty and Board of Trustees have devoted to the school. Parents and alumni have anxiously followed our progress. The dedication of this group underlies MUS ' success and emphasizes its uniqueness. n 12 r |r f Spirit electrifies all activities in which MUS is involved ... a spirit full of life, fun and competition. For a visitor to understand MUS spirit, he must join in a classroom discussion, he must listen to a run-down on last week ' s football game in the student lounge, he must cheer at a basketball game until he is hoarse, he must laugh during a chapel skit, he must run from class to the lunch line. Still, he must feel the helplessness and the silent oaths of dedication after a narrow defeat, and then he must feel the elation and pride after a narrow victory. 13 Competition motivates involvement at MUS. Through competition a student ' s ambition and drive are expressed. This competition among friends teaches good sportsmanship, how to be a good loser as well as a good winner. Athletes compete in sports; boys compete for girls; seventh graders try to emulate seniors; seniors try to emulate their college friends. MUS is a society, and a society dictates a certain appearance. Fortunately, the only appearance competed for at MUS is one of natural and relaxed friendship, marked by a noted individuality rather than the usual crowd-conscious and fad-oriented society. Students compete effectively at MUS without allowing the competition to dictate the actions and appearance of their whole lives. 14 15 Boys usually come to MUS as seventh graders. They usually leave as seniors. Between orientation and graduation, they are faced with choices: what to do with free time, what courses to take, in what and to what extent do they want to be involved. The growth of the school, the traditions, competition, and spirit cause them to have to deal with people. They learn to make their own decisions. Most choose to belong, to become involved, and they leave as changed, more mature persons. An MUS boy does not stand to the side as he sees his school and his world changing and as challenges confront him. An MUS boy is there, speaking out and involving himself. 16 k 1 « • 17 18 ACADEMICS 19 This page: {top) Wise Jones ponders the course of his theatrical career, {bottom left) Steve Northcross dis- plays unusual coordination by typing and chewing a pencil simultaneously, {bottom righ t) John McFadden finds a quiet place to study in the new learning cen- ter.

MUS offered a curriculum based on these concepts. In producing well-rounded students who are adequately prepared to enjoy their lives to the fullest and to make contributions to the world around them, courses were offered which enabled the school to fulfill the goals of both concepts. In analyzing the intellect of the prag- matically and romantically educated man, four basic areas of development may be ob- served: creativity, deductive reasoning, communication and awareness. The school presented courses ranging from reading and typing to psychology and art appreciation in an attempt to stimulate intellectual growth. 21 This page: {top) Mr. Elder reviews a student ' s theme with Brandon and Sites, {bottom left) Classmates wait to pass judgement as Charles Weber reads his origi- nal short story, {bottom right) Mr. Boelte explains a recent Boltonian blunder.

An independent, creative mind has been proven to be an in- valuable asset to students preparing for col- lege, the business and professional world, or life in general. MUS nurtured originality in thought and writing through the Eng- lish electives. Electives offered to upper-school stu- dents included courses such as Man ' s Search for Himself, in which students ex- amined the hero and anti-hero in American and English literature under the tutelage of Mr. Haguewood, and Shake- speare, an entrance into the world of the greatest playwright of all time, presided over by Mr. Hatchett. In his Modern Liter- ary Criticism course, Mr. Boelte introduced his students to the art of criticizing short stories and novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Also popular were Mr. Russell ' s Utopia and Satire, an in-depth study of man ' s search for Utopia through literature, and Mr. Elder ' s Man and God in Modern Literature, a study of the effect of theological-philosophical trends on modern authors. By encouraging original thought and writing, MUS implanted the seed of cre- ativity in the minds of the students. Hope- fully, with continued nourishment, the seed will blossom forth as the student takes his place in society. 23 This page: {top) Mr. Todd and Bob Phelps program the computer in the Man-Made World course, (cen- ter) Mr. Springfield teaches eighth graders to solve first degree equations, (bottom) David Carroll does re- search in the chemistry lab for the Atomic Energy Commission.

I tr 24 • : -s C Vnif ( 4 tr Students Prepare for Technological World In order to fulfill the goals of the prag- matic education, courses, such as math and science, which offer practical application to the world of today, were offered. These courses were intended to train students in the art of deductive reasoning, i. e. deriva- tion of a conclusion by studying presented facts. Ideally, students completing these courses would be able to apply the con- cepts of deduction to areas other than those given above. The Mathematics Department, under the chairmanship of Mr. McGhee, attempt- ed to give students sound training in the techniques of mathematical thinking. Courses, varying from elementary algebra to calculus, tested students ' abilities to apply analytical thinking to problem solv- ing. Other luminaries involved in the in- struction of higher mathematics included Mr. Wright, Mr. Springfield, Mr. Thorn, Mr. Perdue, Mr. Garrison and Mr. Gilles- pie. Mr. Todd ably headed the Department of Science this year. Earth Science, an intro- ductory course in the study of earth and space, provided the ninth graders with a sound foundation for more advanced in- struction. Physics-Chemistry offered sopho- mores an insight into the natural and chemical sciences. Chemistry, Biology, and Physics, perennial favorites among elev- enth and twelfth grade students, retained their popularity. Students in the Man-Made World learned to solve practical problems by using an analog computer. Through the efforts of the departments of mathematics and science, the school en- deavored to teach students to deal with the practical aspects of today ' s technological society. 25 This page: (top left) Mr. Mutzi discusses sentence con- struction with Spanish III students, (top right) Hal 9000 computer brainwashes Spanish students, (bottom left) Frank Matthews attentively listens to Spanish tapes, (bottom right) French students eagerly await the end of language lab.

(bottom) Mrs. Wesberry conducts as the choral music class performs in chapel. 26 Communication Conveys Self-Expression In an impersonal, technological age of automation, communication among men has become of the utmost importance. A breakdown in the expression of thoughts and ideas is inevitably followed by a state of chaos. Through the study of foreign lan- guages, speech, and choral music, students were encouraged to formulate ideas of their own and to express them through means which are applicable to modern society. The Modern Foreign Language Depart- ment, which included the study of both French and Spanish, instructed student lin- guists in the basic skills of speaking, read- ing, understanding, and writing modern languages. Mrs. Robinson, chairman of the department, presented an in depth study of the French language and culture. Courses were available on first, second, third, and fourth year levels, as they were in Spanish, under the direction of Mr. Mutzi and Mr. Kon. The speech and choral music classes of- fered a means of personal expression. In his speech class, Mr. George Elder taught the finer points of public speaking. A choral music class, inspired by visiting glee clubs, was instituted at MUS this year. Students were given the opportunity to express themselves through song under the auspic- es of Mrs. Wesberry. 77 Students Examine Relevance Between Past and Present For a student to take his place in society, he must have an awareness of society ' s past history and present condition. After gain- ing an insight into his place in the world, the student is then able to plot the course of his future activities. The history courses, Bible, and Latin helped students relate the past to the pres- ent. Mr. MacQueen and Mr. Deadrick ' s American History Class, a survey of the American past from colonial days to the present, proved to be a constant nemesis of the junior and senior classes. The Bible course taught by Mr. William Elder sought to acquaint students with both the Old and New Testaments. Through the study of Latin, once again under Mrs. Higg ' s in- struction, the school familiarized students 1! 1 with one basis of the English language. Economics, psychology, and ecology aided students in understanding present so- cial conditions. Economics, taught by Mr. Daniel, conveyed to future business ty- coons the finer points of money, business and labor cycles. In Mr. Garrison ' s psychol- ogy class, students studied patterns of human behavior. Ecology, a new course di- rected by Mr. Schurlds, dealt with the en- croaching environmental crisis. The class undertook such worthwhile projects as sponsoring a paper drive, presenting dis- plays, and the planting of saplings. Humanities, art appreciation, and music appreciation examined Western art, litera- ture, music, and philosophy. Through the study of these courses, students gained a greater appreciation and understanding of our culture. Enlightened men have long advocated the assimilation of all types of knowledge in order to produce a well rounded intel- lect. Even though some aspects may not lend themselves to practical application, knowledge of these subjects is invaluable in producing cultured individuals.

Lynn welcomed us all back for another year. The bookstore was rushed for new textbooks. Teachers lec- tured on material to be covered in the com- ing year while the upper-classmen started juggling their classes. The second Friday brought the first football game, the old rivalry with CBHS. Spirit was high, and the crowd became in- dignant when we were cheated out of a safety and lost by one point. 32 Opposite page: {top left) T.

People started think- ing about serious work. The chapel sched- ule was posted. Upper-classmen got to miss a day of classes to work in the office. The yearbook ad campaign started. Progress re- ports came out, seniors started applying for the ACT and SAT, and the football team lost another cliffhanger to Brownsville. Spirit declined, but the football team started winning. Boot camp ended, and the basketball team started practice. The first Wednesday in October, the students stayed home, and the parents attended their classes. Report cards followed several weeks later.

Posters lined the halls. Friday, be- fore homecoming and the rival game with Germantown, a mass pep rally climaxed the week. MUS won in the mud and rain, and Happy Stratton was crowned queen in the Clack Dining Hall where weather had forced the cere monies to retreat. The dance was a success even though it competed with a Three Dog Night concert. 36 Opposite page: {top) Homecoming Queen, Happy Stratton, accepts congratulations from her escort, John Quackenboss, and Pep Club President Martin Clough.

Defeats Temper Drooping Spirit The next day the cross-country team blew its shot at the state meet. Thoughts turned to basketball and Thanksgiving hol- idays. The rain kept coming. The winning ways of MUS basketball were stopped in the fourth game by Chris- tian Brothers. MUS lost by 3. The juniors whipped the seniors in touch football with controversial calls costing the seniors sever- al hundred yards in penalties. m wpwvmr --w m m .w w« £ - mum m m m.

Coach Shearon start- ed a soccer team, and MUS beat Hutchison 3-1. Col. Lynn promised us once again that the Junior School would open soon. Semester exams flashed by with a quick groan, and Christmas holidays began at last. Students dispersed to parties and vaca- tions. The basketball team suffered two losses and a sixth place in the Southwest- ern Tournament. Winter never broke through the surprisingly warm weather.

The basketball team beat Germantown in overtime, and Larson got stabbed in the parking lot. Classes never ceased. Seniors hit their slump. Last minute college applicatio ns were sent in. The curator of the Pink Pal- ace Museum brought a skull and sword to chapel. The new library opened. The soccer team defeated St. Mary ' s 7-0. The National Honor Society inducted a slew of people, and January was gone. The Mid-Winter Formal opened Febru- ary with a poorly attended affair held in the Clack Dining Hall. Indoor track season began, and the basketball team continued winning. Everybody began to notice how well the eighth and ninth grade teams were doing, too. Cold weather and snow came.

We lost to Ov- erton for the second time, falling short of a berth in the regional. Disappointment was accepted. Juniors took their first SAT. Oklahoma turned into a smashing success in March. Everyone came to see if an MUS student could really sing and left complete- ly absorbed in the comedy and talent. Spring fever began to spread. 45 This page: (top) Students re -group in the student lounge after cutting class, (middle) Soccer Suicide Squad prepares mentally for the onslaught of St. Mary ' s, (bottom left) Charles Lewis enjoys the studi- ous classroom atmosphere, (bottom right) The Colo- nel shows off his new vest at a basketball game.

Seniors started making college decisions. Student Council officers for ' 72 were elected, and the track team marked another victorious year with usual lack of support. Exams, graduation, and the juniors got to sit in the senior section in chapel. The ' 71 senior composite picture went up on the wall. Another year at MUS, marked with faces and memories. 47 ORGANIZATIONS 49 Organizations Reflect Student Involvement The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines an organization as a number of persons united for some pur- pose or work. Along with the academic life and sports program, organizations at MUS are important parts of the school. Through these groups students united by a common purpose can involve themselves in honor- ary organizations, school administration, literary publications, and other groups af- fecting school life. Organizations enable the student to develop his talents and po- tential for the benefit of the common good. Some MUS organizations may be honorary, such as Cum Laude, Quill and Scroll, and the National Honor Society. But involve- ment in those groups vital to the life of the school demand hard work and creativity. The Student and Honor Councils strive to preserve basic MUS traditions and to im- prove school life. The greatest organization is the students themselves, for it is they who make up these institutions. Unlike many other schools, the MUS student body is a close- knit group sharing a common school. Be- cause we are a small number we possess a unique spirit manifested in the football and basketball games, school pride, and student involvement in all phases of school life. We are a student body with a common re- spect for the Honor Code. This section is not just about school or- ganizations as institutions; the section is concerned with the MUS student commu- nity. Although some organizations are more important than others, they are all in- dicative of the pride and unity of the MUS community. 50 gzmmpzammrxm Opposite page: (top) Student body pledges support of newly installed Honor Council, (bottom) Students find it hard to concentrate in eighth grade study hall.

The 1970- ' 71 Stu- dent Council did much to meet these responsibilities. The 1970- ' 71 school year was a year characterized by reforms contributing to a better school life. A new office system was initiated to provide adequate help for the office. Under this system students in the junior and senior classes were called upon to work one day in the office as a student of the day. The old hall monitor system was abolished because the council believed that MUS students would remain quiet in the halls without hall monitors. Chairs with the school emblem were placed on sale to MUS parents, students, and alum- nae to raise money for the council. The council also sponsored several dances and two film series for the entertainment of the students. Working with the administra- tion, the Student Council continued the lunch privilege for seniors. Finally, a com- bination letter cabinet and bulletin board was ordered as a display for student infor- mation. Traditionally, the council held its annual Girl ' s Club party for orphan girls. There was consideration during the year to reform the point system, and the Constitution Committee, a part of the council, sought to make needed changes in the Student Coun- cil Constitution. Thus, if success can be measured through accomplishment, the 1970- ' 71 MUS Student Council could be regarded as one of the finest in MUS history. 52 Opposite page: (top) Tom Jones, President of the Stu- dent Council, directs a chapel program, (bottom) The 1970-71 MUS Student Council visits Mayor Loeb ' s of- fice.

M Honor Council Encourages Mutual Trust The primary responsibility of the Honor Council at Memphis University School was to see that the Honor System functioned smoothly. Since the beginning of the old Memphis University School, the Honor System has been a hallowed tradition. Ideally, the system encourages mutual trust and confidence among students and their teachers. The Honor Council investigated re- ported violations of the Honor Code: lying, cheating, and stealing. After a viola- tion was reported, a meeting of all mem- bers of the Council was called to examine evidence and to question witnesses. From the facts presented in each case, the Coun- cil made its judicial decisions as to the in- nocence or guilt of those involved. The Honor Council was quite important to MUS, for without it there could be no Honor System. Student commitment and cooperation to the Honor Code and Honor Council is essential to the survival and suc- cess of the Honor System. 55 Kr- Hard Work Produces 1971 Owl The 1971 Owl was the product of organi- zation, hard work, and perseverance. Work on the annual began last summer with the basic planning of the book. The number of pages in each section, the number of color pictures, the color and design of the cover, and the style of type were all determined at that time. With the much needed assist- ance of Mr. Cooper, The Owl was better or- ganized and planned. To avoid the confu- sion and difficulty of taking and printing pictures for the annual, a new system was initiated helping to insure that editors re- ceived their pictures when they needed them. Producing an annual was not an easy task; it was difficult and demanded hard work. In the course of the year, five deadlines had to be met. Pictures had to be planned, taken, developed, and cropped. Copy and captions had to be written and typed. Layouts had to be planned and drawn. Such work required perseverance on the part of the editors and staff. During many a Saturday afternoon and night the editors could be found working frantically to meet the next deadline. The planning, organization, and hard work that went into The 1971 Owl was well worth it. There was a deep sense of pride and accomplishment when the book was fi- nally finished. 56 This page: (top) Sports editor Martin Clough discusses plans for his section with Editor-in-Chief Ed Garrett.

Editor Mark Bogatin, along with his ten editors and large staff, coordinated and produced the record-breaking effort. Sever- al editors attended a clinic at Memphis State and a week-long seminar at the Uni- versity of Tennessee at Knoxville. Much of the success of the paper could be attributed to these two clinics. Student approval of the paper was high as editorials stressed student involvement at school and in the community. Penni- less continued its sharp commentaries on student activities, and a new music column, Weasles Tear My Flesh, was added. Under editors Mark Sch andorff and Bud Best, the sports section was strong and very informative. Front page feature stories in- cluded an article written by Dr. Odell Hor- ton and an article on the MUS production of Oklahoma. Because producing a newspaper is very difficult and quite time-consuming,the staff of the Owl ' s Hoot should be commended for their achievement. in . 58 3 Wirt WMb Moat - firm Soggy Homecomin g Br ightened By Shining Festivities Wirti i doy ' 3 Is Hoppy ' s Day K.ih.l Bj W.fk Of Activities Students Feel Contact Of Ecola rlh Sovndi OH On Crvt ' tal Pioblcm Two Senfan Rwrhc ( Mi.:.

Because no staff had been named by last year ' s MUSe staff, work began slowly. Pres- ton Battle assumed the editorship, howev- er, and made plans to merge with the Hutchison Emblem in order to pool money and talent to produce a bet ter publication. However, the magazines did not merge. Nevertheless, the MUSe continued to be an outlet for students ' artistic and literary expression. Students submitted art work, photographs, poetry, and short stories to the staff. The staff then selected the best examples of student work for publication in May.

Due to the late election of the Social Com- mittee, the 1970 Homecoming Dance was difficult to plan. However, the dance was held as scheduled with Silver Paper pro- viding the music. All seemed to have a good time. The Mid-Winter Dance was held in the Clack Dining Hall featuring The Nine- teen Thirty-Two Ballroom Blues Band, which provided excellent, danceable music for the entire evening. The Social Commit- tee was also in charge of the Spring For- mal, which unlike the Mid-Winter Dance, was held off campus. Because of Landon Smith ' s good connec- tions with many of the best bands in the Memphis area, the groups that played at MUS functions were excellent. 61 This page: (top) National Honor Society members: {front row, I to r) Jarzombeck, Walkup, Thomson, S.

Iliiilltll! iltlilllftl Six seniors and seven juniors received membership into the Quill and Scroll in 1970. The Quill and Scroll Society is an in- ternational organization which recognizes journalistic achievement at the high school level. Organized in 1926 by a group of high school publications advisors, the soci- ety seeks to encourage individual initiative in high school journalism. Since the time of the society ' s founding at MUS in 1967, the quality of MUS publi- cations has increased considerably. Mr. Hatchett is the faculty advisor. - : Honorary Societies Recognize Achievement In January of 1971 twenty-four students, six seniors. and eighteen juniors, were in- ducted into the National Honor Society. To be eligible for membership in this hon- orary organization, these students had to show strong qualities of scholarship, lead- ership, service, and character. They also had to be approved by the faculty and those students inducted last year. One of the most important duties of the National Honor Society was to organize the tutoring system. Under the guidance of Mr. James D. Russell, the society im- proved the tutoring system at MUS to make it easier for students needing academ- ic help to find tutors. A list of tutors and their free periods was posted on the bulle- tin board. ' In May of last year, six members of the senior class were inducted into the Cum Laude society. Membership in the Cum Laude is the highest academic honor a high school student can receive. To be eligible for induction a student must be in the upper tenth of his class in his junior year, or the upper fifth of his class in his senior year. The student must also be approved by three-fourths of the voting members of the society. Originally the society was founded at the Tome School in 1906. Modeled on Phi Beta Kappa of the college level, the pur- pose of this society of high school teachers and students is to reward and encourage scholarship. 63 Most Outstanding Cheerleader: Shelley Bowlin 64 Cheerleaders Encourage MUS Spirit A cheerleader ' s job is to channel the spirit of the student body into a vocal on- slaught of noise and chaotic enthusiasm. When there is no spirit, a cheerleader must create spirit; when there is spirit, a cheer- leader must direct this spirit into a potent force for winning games. MUS had spirit, and its cheerleaders set examples of how to display MUS spirit. Led by captains Martin Clough and Happ y Stratton, the other cheerleaders in- cluded seniors Gwin Bender, Shelley Bow- lin, Kirk Adams, and Barbie McKee; and juniors Amy Schaeffer, Ann Hoehn, and Karen Klepper. The boy ' s squad included Hiram Goza, Jess Wessberry, Sam Patter- son, and Mark Weston. The goal of a cheerleader is to evoke and to direct spirit, and our cheerleaders met this goal with their resounding enthusiasm and potent cheering force.

Under the direction of president Mark Jar- zombek, the club sponsored various proj- ects- related to community service. Early in the year they conducted a successful clothes drive for twenty mentally retarded teenag- ers in the Western State Hospital. The stu- dent body responded by providing twenty bags of clothing. In November they spon- sored a canned food drive to provide a fam- ily with Thanksgiving dinner. Along with the senior class, they gave the traditional Girls ' Club Christmas Party. The club en- couraged the students to actively partici- pate in the March of Dimes and St. Jude ' s drives. Although it is only a drop in the bucket, the accomplishment of the club bears witness to its hard work. 66 The Memphis University School Model Rocket Society reached new heights in 1971. By affiliating with the National As- sociation of Rocketry, they became the first and only N.A.R. chapter in the state of Tennessee. In the future the club hopes to construct a multiple launch system and to sponsor a N.A.R. sanctioned meet of rocket- eers from the Mid-South. Racquetball enthusiasts, with the help of Mr. Daniels, organized the Racquetball Club. The first meeting attracted twenty upper school students. In another meeting the members defined the club ' s purpose: to stimulate student competition and interest in f our-wall racquetball. After the Student Council issued the club a charter, the ac- tivities began with ladder competition, in which members challenged one another by playing singles matches with those ranked above them. To highlight the year the club played singles and doubles tournaments. Opposite page: (top) Another successful launch for the rocketry club, (bottom) Civic Service Club members ( to r) Anderson, K.

Whether on a varsity team or in a gym class, each student experienced sports, and at MUS sports were a lasting experience. Athletics provided a break in the academic life of the school. They involved each stu- dent and gave him a physical sense of pur- pose during his years here. Each student at one time during his participation in the sports program has seen himself as Joe Na- math, Wilt Chamberlain, or Rod Laver. On a varsity level, sports united the entire school; in P.E. they encouraged informal fun, while still allowing serious participa- tion. Sports allowed competition; they de- manded excellence. Sports were important to MUS. rm Opposite page: (top) St. Mary ' s dribbles past Tricky Dicky Fisher in a hotly contested soccer match which St. Mary ' s lost 7-0.

V 7] Varsity Tracksters Complete 3rd Undefeated Season For the third consecutive year the varsity track team had an undefeated season in tri- angular competition. The team began with a victory over Hillcrest and Fairley by scores of 76% to 60% to 26, respectively. The team, with an unusual number of tal- ented sophomores, showed that it had the ability to win. In the second meet of the season the Owls traveled to Germantown and defeated the Devils and the Trojans of Millington in what proved to be the closest meet of the season. MUS turned up with 73 points to Germantown ' s 67 and Milling- ton ' s 24. The next meet was the MUS Invitation- al. Some of the strongest teams in this area were represented in this meet. The team knew that it would take a tremendous ef- fort to win this meet or even to place among the top five. The whole team gave its best with Lynn Green taking first in the shot put with a put of 47 ft. 4 in. and Stan Fri winning the 880-yard run with a time of 2:03.2 min. The team ' s effort was only good enough for fourth in this big meet. Not giving up, the Owls beat two strong teams from Bartlett and Fairley. Hal McGeorge, Lynn Green, and Ralph Braden took the shot put one, two, three. Stan Fri, in his first running of the mile, ran one of the best times in this area, and John Young showed the sophomore power by winning the 880-yard run. In the final triangular meet of the season two strong teams from Jackson and Ripley were defeated by scores of 70 to 58 to 36, respectively. Green, Fallis, and McGeorge took first, second, and third in the discus. The two-mile relay, 100-yard dash, and mile run were won by MUS, and Stan Fri m ■ ' X ' 1 iWirfil 72 m %. ! 4Bfa (Top row) Fallis, Jones, McGeorge, S.

The District Meet was the next to come. MUS had won this meet the two previous years and wanted to bring home a third vic- tory. The team qualified in every event ex- cept the 440 dash and 100-yard dash. The night opened with Eddie Crenshaw win- ning the high hurdles in a time of 15.9 sec. with Russell Day close behind at 16.0. The 880 relay team (Morrow, Murphy, Wilson, Wetter) took second with a time of 1:34.1 after setting the school record of 1:34.6 in the preliminaries before. In the low hurdles Russell Day took third with Eddie Crenshaw at the fifth position. The 880-yard run was won by Stan Fri, after a tremendous effort, in the time of 2:04.5. The mile relay team placed third, and Henry Wetter took fifth place in the 220. The most outstanding show of the night was in the two-mile relay. Tom Jones (2:11.3), Hal Wellford (2:09.0), Lou Adams (2:05. l), and Stan Fri (1:58.8) com- bined to win the race while setting the dis- trict and school records at 8:24.2. MUS fin- ished the meet with 53 points which was not good enough to win over German- town ' s 62. The Owls had been set back in this final meet but had shown that they had the ability to win over teams that were supposed to be superior. The Regional Meet was left for those who qualified. Stan Fri and Lynn Green were the only members to place. Stan took fourth in the 880 (2:01.0), and Lynn took fifth in the shot (44 ' 9 1 2 ). With many winning sophomores and juniors returning, the 1971 track team promises to be even better. 7A Opposite page: (top) Stan Fri picks up the pace in the 880-yard run.

With record speed and ability, last year ' s team proved to be the best junior high track team ever produced by M.U.S. The junior Owls opened up the season with Harding Academy, handily defeating them 90-44 in a secondary meet. The team ' s superiority was displayed by taking first places in all but three events. The next week in a triangular meet, the junior Owls compiled 64 points in comparison to Har- ding ' s 50 and Collierville ' s 20. In the fol- lowing meet M.U.S. again defeated Collier- ville 81-58. The next meet proved to be a close win. The Owls traveled to Jackson, Tennessee, to win the meet by a score of 73-71. Palmer Miller made his best showing of the year at this meet with a time of :14.6 in the 120- yard low hurdles. The following week M.U.S. enjoyed an overwhelming victory over Sheffield, 94-10. Next the Owls traveled to Horn Lake, Mississippi, returning home with victories over five Mississippi teams. The last meet of the season turned out to be another close one, this time with Horn Lake and Inde- pendence. Again the junior Owls came through defeating Horn Lake 56-55, and Independence 56-15. The Baby Owls set seven new records. Speedster Bradford Beck held the 100-yard dash record in 1969 with :11.0 and broke it in 1970 with a time of :10.8. Palmer Mil- ler set two new school records in the hurdles. In the 120-yard low hurdles, Palm- er broke Eddie Crenshaw ' s previous record of :14.9 with a time of :14.6. He also set a new record in the 180-yard low hurdles with a timeof :23.5. Mark DePuy, a newcomer to M.U.S. in the ninth grade, set a new record in the mile run with a time of 5:09.2. Montgom- ery Martin and Billy Phelps were the 880- yard run men, and Ellis Misner ran the 440-yard dash. The 440-yard relay team, composed of Mike Goodwin, Ed Atkinson, Palmer Mil- ler, and Bradford Beck set a new record with a time of :48.0. Kirby Powell, Jim Varner, Mike Goodwin, and Palmer Miller set a new record in the 880-yard relay with a time of 1:41.2. And last, but not least, the mile relay team made up of Stewart Collier, Andy Baker, Lee Drew, and Haldy Wilson set a new record with a time of 4:00.0. The broad jumping duties for the junior high were handled by Bradford Beck and Palmer Miller; Kirby Powell, Jim Harri- son, and Lee Drew were the high jumpers. Rob Jones and Bobby Loeb were consid- erable assets in the shot put and discus events. Tim Cowan was the team ' s only pole vaulter. Point leaders for the junior Owls were Palmer Miller with 61, Bradford Beck with 56, Ed Atkinson with 46, and Bobby Loeb with 44. Twenty-three boys on the team earned letters. Other members of the team included Jeff Blackford, Wise Jones, Steve Rejniak, Dave McGehee, and Charles Day.

Against the stronger teams in the county, the Owls put together a 6-3 season. The team consisted of seniors Sonny Stevenson and Benny Harrison; juniors Gayden Drew (1970 MUS Golf Champi- on), Mark Schandorff, Rob York, Tom Lacey, and Jim Petty; sophomore Craig Parker; and freshman Cummings Marlow. The Owls savoured victories over Bol- ton and Bartlett, and twice defeated Ger- mantown and West Memphis. Defeats were handed to the team by Whitehaven, Hillcrest, and Bishop Byrne. The highlight of the season was focused on the Regional Tournament. Of the twenty teams entered, MUS finished sec- ond only to Hillcrest. The team ' s total score of 301 points broke all previous school records. Benny Harrison shot a 72 to earn an individual position in the state tournament. With the return of seven lettermen the 1971 MUS golf team promises to have an- other successful season. 78 (Top row) W. Hamilton, R. Hamilton, Weeks, Johnson (2nd row) McCorkle, Dameron, Wellford Owl Netmen Fall Short of State Berth Under the coaching of Jim Saucedo the Owl netmen zoomed to another winning season. Losing only one match, they began the year by blasting Montgomery Bell Academy. The second match pitted the Owls against one of the most formidable tennis teams in the South in intercollegiate play, Memphis State University. Although the Owls scored only one point, many of the matches were quite close. The spring season began with a trip to Nashville where the netmen again defeated Montgomery Bell Academy. Also while in Nashville they clobbered David Lipscomb (ranked second in the state), losing only one match. From Nashville the team trav- eled to Chattanooga to compete in South- ern High School Interscholastics. Here the Owls placed sixth in a field of thirty teams. The regional and state competitions tra- ditionally highlight the Owl tennis sched- ule. Unfortunately, they finished a poor second in the regional and lost two key matches in the state, thus discouraging their hopes for a first place ranking in the state. The Owl netmen have high hopes for the ' 70-71 season. With the addition of eight new courts and continual practice throughout the year, the team is confident that they will have a better season.

Led by captain Stan Fri and newcomer Dave Bull, the team ran over 250 miles per man, designed a new scenic route, and constructed a wider span across the creek. Despite beginning the season a week be- fore school, the team got off to a slow start, losing the first two meets to Hillcrest and Westwood, Messick and Overton. The team then showed its true form by finish- ing fourth in the Searcy Invitational Meet, one of the finest meets in the Mid-South. Shortly after Searcy, the team soundly de- feated CBHS and Whitehaven, only to lose to White Station in the next meet by a nar- row margin. The second string Owl run- ners then defeated a surprisingly good Ra- leigh team 23-32. The team then defeated White Station by only one point. On Octo- ber 24, the Owls faced their toughest com- petition in the M.S.U. Invitational Meet at Audubon Park. The team showed good in- dividual efforts and finished in the meet behind four of the strongest teams in the state. The Owls next hosted the MUS Invi- tational Meet. Without the services of its captain, MUS tied White Station for sixth. After undergoing several weeks of extra strenuous workouts, the Owls faced the Regional Meet and the outlook was good. However, running in extremely bad weath- er and course conditions, the Owls failed to meet their expectations, finishing fifth. 30 K Bottom series: Coach Peters times as Phelps, Garrett, Ray, Martin, and Young check in.

After spending weeks of pre-season preparation, the Owls were ready to play, and the students were ready to support them. The Brothers had defeated MUS the previous year by a score of 8-7, and all re- venge and anger was wrapped up in this game. MUS overcame the early nervous- ness of the game and scored first on a sec- ond quarter plunge of six yards by Gabe Hawkins. Later in that quarter MUS lost first-string quarterback Jack Cash for the remainder of the game due to an injury. MUS held on and led 6-0 at the half. Early in the third quarter MUS scored a safety which was ruled a touchback. These two points would have meant victory for the struggling Owls. This play was dishearten- ing as CBHS ended all the hopes and ex- pectations of MUS when with 1:52 left in the third quarter, Tom Shaffer capped an 80 yard sustained drive of 14 plays with a one-yard touchdown. The extra point was good, and CBHS won 7-6. The next week the winless Owls trav- eled to Dyersburg and on a rainy, mud- soaked field captured their first Big Ten victory of the year. Cash led the Owls in rushing with 134 yards to the delight of a handful of devoted fans who defied the rain and cold to support the team vocally. Rob- ert Fallis consistently punted the Owls out of jams and coupled with the defense, which held Dyersburg to 78 total yards, was instrumental in the victory. The contest of the year came next against number one ranked Brownsville. Led by their phenomenal quarterback, Rocky Felker, the Tomcats found MUS a hard hitting opponent. The Owls drew first blood in the second quarter when Tommy Jones connected on a six-yard half- back pass to Mike Perkins, and to the as- • ■? ' J 82 .

Felker brought the Tomcats back, however, and capped a 13 play, 54- yard drive with a touchdown and a two point conversion. The Owls showed their power to bounce back and scored four min- utes later to go into the dressing room with a 13-8 lead. Brownsville opened the third quarter with a touchdown and led 16-12, when MUS seemingly put the game out of reach on two runs by Hawkins of 74 and 25 yards to put MUS on top 27-16. Browns- ville roared back with well-planned sus- tained drives for two final touchdowns while using up valuable time on the clock. MUS made a heroic desperate drive in the final seconds only to run out of time on the Brownsville 20 yard line. Had there been a minute left on the clock, the state might have had a new number one ranked team. A dejected team failed to prepare emo- tionally for its next game at Covington. The Owls matched Covington in scoring in every quarter except the first when Covington stole the ball from Cash and ran it in for what turned out to be the differ- ence in the ball game. Hawkins led the Owls in rushing, and Perkins amassed 208 yards on kick-off and punt returns. The Owls had lost three games by a total of eleven points. Savannah witnessed a new trend in MUS football — a winning trend which contin- ued for the rest of the season with only one exception. The first string played their best half of football as they exhibited unusual, but now typical, power on both offense and defense. In the first half, the Owls exe- cuted 32 offensive plays as opposed to 13 for Savannah. The second unit ' s second half performance was highlighted by quart- erback Ken Humphries ' touchdown pass to Gregg Nix. The defense gave up only one score in the 34-6 victory. At Ripley, Hubert Turley led the Owls in his best outing of the year with 77 yards rushing and two pass receptions for 23 yards. Philip Gould scored on a safety, em- phasizing the new MUS defensive power. Robert Fallis ' punting kept Ripley deep in their own territory. The defense again sparked the game, holding Ripley ' s leading ground-gainer to 28 total yards rushing. Somerville was the victim of the Owls ' best overall performance of the year. The defense was excellent against the run, giv- ing up only 40 yards on the ground. The offense, led by Tommy Bryan with 171 yards and 22 points, scored in every quarter for a total of nine touchdowns. As a result of his outstanding effort, Mark McGuire made the Press Scimitar check list. McGuire intercepted a pass, ran 43 yards for a touchdown, scored a safety, and picked up a MUS fumble on a broken play a nd ran it in for the score. In Jackson, the Owls were completely out-played.

The game was dominated completely by Jackson. Cash ' s passing (7-14 including a 70-yard bomb to Steve Morrow for a touchdown) was the Owls ' only strong point. In one of the most exciting games of the year, MUS defeated Battle Ground Acade- my 22-6. The Big Red were awed on the opening play by Hubert Turley ' s 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Hawkins scored twice in the second quarter and added two two-point conversions. Tom Jones was the workhorse and leading rush- er with 94 yards. The fourth quarter was highlighted by outstanding defensive play by both squads. BGA drove 94 yards after stopping MUS on their two yard line, only to be repulsed by a tenacious Owl defense.

This was the Owls ' home- coming and the last game of the season, a fitting rivalry to end a hard-fought season. Germantown scored first on a 69-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. The Owls scored all of their points in the first quarter on a 13-yard run up the middle by Turley and a touchdown by Cash. The fourth quarter was the scene of a fitting cli- max for an exciting season. MUS held Ger- mantown on the four yardline, then fum- bled on the 12. The Owl ' s defense held again as John Trezevant intercepted a Devil pass. MUS was forced to punt, and Germantown drove for two first downs only to be thrown for two consecutive loss- es, totaling 20 yards, by Fallis. German- town then had a last-second desperation pass intercepted by Jones in the end-zone. The Owl ' s ground game dominated as Tur- ley led with 72 yards followed by Jones with 71 and Hawkins with 50. MUS de- fense, the key to the second half of the sea- son, contained Germantown ' s Gary Hall to 65 yards on the ground. Jones ended the season with the most yards rushing (440) and the best average per carry (6.3). Hawkins and Cash fol- lowed with 420 and 367 yards, respectively. Hawkins led in scoring with 11 touch- downs and three conversions for a total of 72 points. Cash connected on 23 of 49 passes for 426 yards with only three inter- ceptions. Fallis ' punting was outstanding — 27 punts with a 40.9 yards-per-punt av- erage. Bell, Gould, Fallis, Jones, and Cash were named to the All Big Ten team, and Fallis received All Mid-South honors. The team received the Good Sportsmanship Trophy in the Big Ten as a tribute to their outstanding caliber of play. 87 Sept. 11 — Tonight was the big one — CBHS.

After Hawkins scored on those two runs, everybody went wild. I couldn ' t keep my date in the stands. But how could we blow an 11 point lead in nine minutes?

You got to hand it to them though, they really played hard to the end. I almost left at halftime. I was so bored watching us score touchdown after touchdown, after touchdown after touchdown . . .

Nov. 6 — After Turley ran back that kick- off, BGA didn ' t have a chance. His TD really put the screws to BGA ' s dreams of an upset. Those two goal line stands in the fourth quarter were great. I almost laid a brick. Nov. 13 - It got tough there at the end, but we showed the Devils we wanted that one. It was a great homecoming game, espe- cially the fourth quarter. Fallis, Jones, and Trez. were great on defense. It sure was good to go out a winner. Opposite page: {top) Cash displays promising passing form as MUS tromps Westwood 40-0 in prc-season scrimmage.

Taylor. Junior High Has Tough Season The junior high football team, though they gave a valiant effort, fell short of a winning season. Partly due to inexperience, the ninth graders ended up with a 3 win-4 loss record. The junior Owls opened up the season with Munford, Tennessee, crushing them 52-0. Mel Walters made a spectacular punt return, running the ball back over 50 yards for a touchdown. Next MUS took the field at Trezevant Junior High, only to lose by one touchdown, 0-8. The following week the Owls traveled to Brownsville. The Baby Owls failed to score on a very crucial extra-point play, and were defeated 6-8. The team did not give up, however. They came back strong against Ripley, smashing them 36-0 in a home game. The next game was away, this time at Milling- ton. The Baby Owls suffered another de- feat at the hands of the Trojans, 16-20. 90 Opposite page: Wells finds a hole in the Millington de- fense.

The junior Owls were 1-1 for the last two games. The first was with Covington, a school with traditionally strong junior high team. The Owls lost 16-28 in a hard- fought battle. They finished up the season by defeating Fairley, 8-0. Several individual efforts were outstand- ing for the ninth graders. Charles Stockley was the leading rusher with a total of 360 yards in 50 carries. Jay Wells was the num- ber two man with 301 yards in 52 carries. Jeff Upshaw completed 11 passes for a total ' of 231 yards. Tom Preston was the leading pass receiver with 354 yards and 4 touch- downs. He also was the leading scorer with 28 points for the entire season. w y Season ' s Record MUS 52 Munford 8 MUS Trezevant 8 MUS 6 Brownsville 8 MUS 36 Ripley MUS 16 Millington 20 MUS 16 Covington 28 MUS 8 Fairley 91 Season ' s Record MUS 34 Kingsbury MUS Germantown 6 MUS 22 St. Michael MUS 6 Germantown MUS 30 Woodlawn Academy 6 Hr. i r i r ■ - .1 r .fiv H ■ .-  ' . 5 V J j4, .- .t This page: (top) MUS defender tries desperation block, (top right) A.

MUS again had an eighth grade team and was well represented by this group of Baby Owls. The team opened the season with a vic- tory over Kingsbury by a score of 34-6. The young team was set back by a very large Germantown team by the narrow margin of 0-6. This loss did not stop the determined Owls. They bounced back and scored 22 points, shutting out St. Michael. Another battle with Germantown proved the Owls to be victorious. Price Morrison intercepted a pass in the final 52 seconds and returned the ball 33 yards into the end zone to beat Germantown 6-0. In the final game of the season MUS beat Woodlawn Academy 30-6. The Baby Owls were very proud of themselves for defeating this ninth grade team. Greg Drew hit on 22 of 28 passes, and Price Morrison ran for two touchdowns while passing for another. Head Coach Bill Smith and assistant coaches Bill Elder and Jim Gillespie, as well as the whole team, were pleased with the season ' s 4-1 record. 93 Varsity Owls Display Winning Punch The varsity basketball team ended its 1970-1971 campaign with a 19-4 regular season record. A team which did not dress one player over six feet tall, the Owls were characterized by determination, hard work, and self-pride. The Owls got off to a slow start in the season ' s opener against Bishop Byrne, but roared back to win, 62-40. Mark Shack Schandorff opened the season with high scoring honors with 17 points. The East High Mustangs were the next Owl victim. MUS overcame 6 ' 7 Van Martin and his gang behind the long-range shooting of Buddy Best and Shack. Shack again led the scoring, and Joel Bell gathered in eight re- bounds in his first starting game. White Station fell before an MUS foul-shooting onslaught 44-48 in a game where MUS hit a record 40 of 57 from the charity line. Shack led the scoring for the Owls for the third straight game with 20 points, fol- lowed by Best with 16 and Steve Morrow with 12. The first regular season loss in 27 games darkened the MUS gymnasium on Decem- ber 1 against CBHS. The Owls were intim- idated by a CBHS front line averaging 6 ' 4 and by some questionable officiating. How- ever, the next Friday, the Owls rebounded beautifully by lassoing the Westwood Westerners 64-42. Best led the scoring with 19 points followed by Shack and Mor- row with 13 points each. Whitehaven ' s undefeated Tigers felt the wrath of the Owls in a 63-55 win. Shack and Best combined to score 49 Owl points. MUS had to withstand a third quarter rally which brought the Tigers to within one point in order to secure the win. In their next game the Owls flew over Harding 71-59 and boosted their record to 6-1. 94 Opposite page: (top) Coach Peters questions the offi- cial ' s call, (bottom) Buddy Best and Mark Schandorff fight for a rebound.

The Owls chipped away a 12 point Munford lead mid-way through the third quarter with 10 consecutive points. The result: a 46-44 victory. On Demember 21-23, the Owls engaged in the 1st annual Southwestern Prep Clas- sic. In the first round, the Owls were edged by pre-tournament favorite Treadwell 58-54 in a game which Treadwell later had to for- feit because of an ineligible athlete. The Owls bounced back to whip White Station in a return engagement 61-50 despite a 24 point outburst by Spartan Bill Cook. Best captured the Owls ' scoring honors with 21 points, in a victory which vaulted MUS into the finals of the looser ' s bracket oppo- site Overton. The Rebels stunned the Owls 51-47, in the Owl ' s third defeat of the season. Best was named to the all-tour- nament team as a result of his fine play and 61 points in the three day affair. Crucial overtime free throws by Morrow and Shack halted a late Germantown ex- plosion to propel the Owls to a 50-49 win over the neighborhood gang, after which David Larson was stabbed in the back by a discontented Germantown fan. Best again paced the Owls with a 20 point perform- ance. Opposite page: Chuck Morris drives in behind the Bol- ton defense and scores two.

The Owls were unable to generate an offense without the services of an ailing Shack. Best and a strong bench combined to lift the Owls over a tough Bolton team in their next en- counter. The Owls won the remainder of their regular season games with the exception of one. Against Westwood, MUS led by only two at the half but outscored the Western- ers 16-11 in the third quarter to make the difference in the game. Shack led the scor- ing with 14, followed by Best with 12 and Morrow with 11. Excellent foul-shooting and a 28 point performance by Best were too much for Mt. Pisgah as the Owls won 54-43 in a hard fought game. In their sec- ond encounter with Bishop Byrne, the Owls won 70-46 with the aid of Best ' s 33 points, his season high. MUS steam-rolled the Dragons at Collierville as their mo- mentum was building, extending their win- ning streak to 5. Best led all scorers with 17, followed by Tommy Peters with 12 points. At MUS the Owls crushed Oakhaven 62-31, and every member on the team scored. Best led with 15, followed by Bell with 12 .and Gayden Drew with 11 points. Down by one at half, a determined Owl bunch came on strong to defeat Wooddale and extend their streak to 7. There seemed to be no stopping the Owls, led by the one-two punch of Best and Shack. Again at Bartlett MUS had to overcome a half-time deficit to win . . . this time by 10, 45-35. Best scored 18, followed by Shack with 14. Nine seemed to be an unlucky number for the Owls as they were defeated by Mt. Pisgah, ending their winning streak at eight games. Down 31-16 at the half, the Owls were unable to come back, ending up on the short end of a 45-39 score. Best led the scoring with 16 followed by Morrow with 9- MUS met a much improved Collierville team the next Friday and played one of the most exciting games of the year. Led by Best with 23 points and the new Soul Buz- zards, MUS overcame a half time deficit and fought off an upset-minded Collierville team in the closing minutes to win 51-45, thus completing a 19-4 season.

The only high points of the night were Best ' s 22 points and a dedicated throng of MUS Soul Buz- zards. MUS averaged 55 points a game to their opponent ' s 45, and ended the season with a 68% free-throw average and a 35% field goal average. An interesting fact, showing the ability of this team was that they com- mitted 632 mistakes (fouls and floor mis- takes) to their opponents ' 789. Best was the leading scorer on the team with 467 points followed by Shack with 296 and Morrow with 160. The Owls were a team that played to the final buzzer and played well. This team was a well-rounded team with any man being able to play at any time. The bench strength was fantastic and combined with an able starting five represented the school well in every game, carrying on the high tradition of MUS as a basketball power. 100 s •eason ' s Record MUS 62 Bishop Byrne 40 MUS 76 East 65 MUS 64 White Station 48 MUS 50 CBHS 53 MUS 64 Westwood 42 MUS 63 Whitehaven 55 MUS 71 Harding 29 MUS 46 Munford 44 MUS 50 Germantown 49 MUS 37 Millington 52 MUS 51 Bolton 39 MUS 56 Westwood 49 MUS 59 Mt.

Eddie Crenshaw ' s 14 points and Stuart Collier ' s 12 points high- lighted the game. The next week brought a defeat from White Station 31-37, even though Jim Varner had a great night with 16 points. The following week the B-Team record moved to 2-1, as they took CBHS 39-30. Again Jim Varner was the high man with 13 points. Traveling to Westwood, the Owls easily crushed the Westerners 49-21. Jim Varner ' s amazing 23 points rallied the B-Owls against Whitehaven, 61-45. Harding proved to be no hindrance to the Owls, as they dominated the whole game and won 50-36. Beasley Wellford led the scoring with 14 points, and Hobson and Bobby Loeb each had 10. MUS rolled over Mun- ford 40-35, boosting its record to 5-1. The four game winning streak came to a halt against Germantown. Collier had 13 points, but MUS failed to rally and fell short 46-64. Bouncing back the next week MUS flew past the Ridgeway Roadrunners 57-32. Loeb, Todd Miller, and Ellis Misner each had 10 points for the night. 0-5 was the story for the B-Buzzards for the next six weeks. Going to Millington, the lost 36-52. Bolton overcame the Owls in the fourth quarter, 31-40. A second meeting with Westwood proved to be a disaster as our B-Team lost 31-42. MUS was to lose two games to Mt. Pisgah; the first one ended by a 43-50 margin. The B-Team started off the Bishop Byrne game with a meager seven points in the first half, and consequently suffered at the losing end of a 31-37 score. The B-Team then began a four-game winning streak by defeating the Collierville Dragons 52-42. The next week Raleigh, an- other county team, felt the wrath of the mighty Owls. Lee Drew and Stuart Collier led the scoring with 13 and 12 points re- spectively in the 55-51 victory. MUS then hosted Oakhaven in a game that was close down to the wire, with MUS winning 55-53. 13 points by Miller and Wellford boosted the Buzzards to a road victory against Woodale. MUS fell short of the mark against Bart- lett. Miller led the offense with 17 points. Mt. Pisgah then posted their second victory over the Owls in a 47-50 squeaker. Deter- mined to finish a winner, the B-Team ex- tinguished the Collierville Dragons for the second time 47-41, thus cementing their record at 12-9. {top row) Hobson, Collier, Misner, Loeb, L.

Under the able coaching of Coach Jim Wright, the team faced tough competition throughout the year, and consistently played well. The Baby Owls ' opener was with Mun- ford, and MUS had no trouble overpower- ing them 36-15. Although off to a good start, Christian Brothers gave them a major setback, 28-40. The Owls bounced back to win their next three by defeating Jackson 33-26, Fairley 30-24; and in a close one with Germantown, MUS won 59-54. Next the Owls traveled to Covington, only to be defeated 26-35. Returning home, the Collierville Dragons edged the Owls 35-36. Then the junior high smashed Whitehaven (previously unbeaten) by more than doubling Whitehaven ' s score, 50-24. Another match with Covington proved the Owls superior; they won 31-27. The next week Germantown again felt the wrath of the junior high, this time by a score of 50-47. The Baby Owls went 4-1 in their last five regular season games. They defeated Hillcrest 40-34, Whitehaven 31-29, and Fairley 45-32. They lost to Raleigh 28-40, and beat Southhaven 53-25. Their fine record prompted hopes of great things in the District Tournament, but in the first game MUS was stunned by Mt. Pisgah 44-47 in an unusual game in which the Owls led at one time by a score of 12-0. Especially good individual efforts were exhibited by hustlers Ben Adams and Steve Rudolph. Joe Thompson excelled on de- fense, and Captain Frank Crawf ord was the team ' s leading rebounder and scorer, with an amazing 177 points for the season. Other team members were Tom Preston, Mel Walters, Robert Briggs, Chip Barton, Steve Bedford, Bill Starr, Jon Bailey, War- ren Barry, Charles Stockley, and John Dil- lon. The boys are to be commended for their excellent attitude, fine play, and hard work; they never gave up, even when the chips were down. iS4m 104 i (top left) Crawford guns two in a tough game against Hillcrest.

The team began its trememdous win- ning streak with the first game by over- coming Capleville 40-34 and won the next four games against Fairley, St. Dominic. Colonial, and Collierville. The Owls were then shocked by Hillcrest 31-32 in a game which spurred the team to victories over all other opponents. During Christmas the team played in the St. Dominic Christmas Tournament, which they breezed through by defeating St. Paul 49-21, St. Louis 46-24, and Mun- ford 47-25. In one of the highlights of the year, MUS defeated the St. Louis, Missouri Zips at the Mid-South Coliseum 45-39- The leading scorer was Price Morrison, who averaged twelve points a game. Price promises to be a great asset to future MUS teams. The other low post man, Al Halt- om, gave the Owls added strength under the boards and developed into a scoring threat for the team. Point man Bruce Bol- ton sparked the Owl offense and was the main ball handler and play-maker on the team. The wing men, Gregg Drew and Keith Barton, rounded out the starting line-up and added greatly to its success. After the season, the team entered a post-season tournament which they won handily, defeating Mullins Methodist 41-11, Treadwell 41-17, St. Dominic 33-22, and Munford 34-16.

Mr. Jack Ray provided the goals, and the team members painted them and hung the nets. Practice consist- ed of agility drills, kicking for accuracy, and scrimmages. Because there were no other soccer teams in the Memphis area, MUS opened its season by defeating the girls from Hutchinson 3-1. Both teams were somewhat disorganized, but MUS ' speed set up most of the Owl ' s goals. The soccer team then delivered St. Mary ' s a 7-0 thrashing, MUS ' speed again prevailed with Stan Fri scoring 4 goals, and Russell Day, Ken Humphries, and Ed Garrett each con- tributing one. The last weekend in February, the team entered the state tourna- ment at Sewanee, Tennessee. MUS was defeated by Webb School 3-0. Webb scored two goals in the first 5 minutes, but MUS settled down to play three good quarters. The Owls prevailed in the third quarter but were unable to score. The team then played a group from Vanderbilt, including the starting offensive line of the Commodores ' varsity soccer squad. In five quarters of play, MUS was defeated 3-1. Fri scored MUS ' only goal in the fourth quarter. Most of the play centered around MUS ' goalie, Charles Weber, who made approximately 40 saves in the two games. Although key seniors Fri, Garrett, Ray, Bull, and Quackenboss will not return, the nucleus of a strong team for next year is present in five returning juniors. With desire and a regular schedule with established teams, soccer should gain more popularity and strength at MUS. ■ ■■hb 108 1 r W ilder, Todd, Bull, Garrett, Fisher, Caffey, Ray, Day, Bryan, Miller, Fri, Humphries, Young, Whiteside, Woodruff.

Characterized by Coach Cummings ' diligent planning and sporadic discipline and Coach Rudolph ' s erratic refereeing talents, the P.E. program was geared to the all-around athlete. The gym students were subjected to almost every sport known to man from football to shuffleboard. In the fall the program included tennis and football with volleyball as an indoor outlet in case of bad weather. Tennis was something new in the gym program as a result of the eight new courts wh ich were constructed. The future Wimbleton champs received able instruction from Coach Cummings, and at the end of the season each class had a tournament. Then came soccer, speedball, and more vol- leyball. Another new addition to the pro- gram was a week of cross-country high- lighted by inter-class competition. Compe- tition was indeed the key to the program as was evidenced by the many tournaments. Basketball, a sport enjoyed by MUS gymsters, required three weeks in the P.E. classes. Next came the most novel innova- tion in the P.E. program — Indoor Game Week. The gym was transformed into Cummings ' Game Room as shuffleboard courts, ping pong tables, and horseshoe stakes cluttered the gym floor. Tourna- ments were held in each of the three sports with the winners receiving class cuts for their efforts. The year was rounded out by track, golf, gym hockey, tennis, and swim- ming. Ill FACULTY Faculty Members Exhibit Varied Personalities Faculty members form a group essential for the growth and reputation of Memphis University School. Their involvement in school activities and their amiable relation- ship with their students differentiate MUS from other educational institutions. Their leadership and counseling in the classroom, on the sports field, and in the clubs and service organizations promote a spirit of excellence among the students. MUS teachers are a special breed of friends and instructors. They encourage fal- tering students, prepare deficiency slips. support the athletic teams, and take pride in the accomplishments of their pupils. Personality traits cause teachers to fall into certain groups of colleagues with their own outlooks and priorities. The Faculty Section catalogues MUS faculty members according to the characteristics of these groups. They range from coaches to intel- lectuals to those with a young outlook. Whether a boy goes to MUS for one year or six years, he remembers the facul- ty ' s involvement with the students.

Lynn spent the majority of his time paying the bills and keeping the school alive financially, while the remainder was spent visiting other private schools and spreading the name of MUS to other parts of the country. Coach Thorn counseled all of the seniors and helped them make the important decisions concerning their col- lege choices. Academic counseling for the rest of the school fell under the auspices of Mr. MacQueen. He also acted as the final advisor for any curriculum changes and was the faculty advisor for the Student Council. Mr. Springfield undertook the awesome task as principal of the junior school.

Talented Coaches Produce Powerful Competitors The coaches built quite a reputation at MUS. Jake Rudolph directed the athletic department and was head coach and main driving force behind our successful varsity football team. Coaches Boutwell and Cum- mings rounded out the list of varsity foot- ball coaches with James Boutwell coaching the defense and Herb Cummings coaching the linemen. Success was also the story be- hind Jerry Peters. As head coach of both the varsity basketball and track teams, he- produced powerful squads in these two areas. George Elder and James Wright fi- nally developed the junior high students into strong, experienced athletes with every team boasting a successful season. Gymnas- tics also gained popularity in its second year of existence at MUS. Through the able direction of Coach Kansaki, junior high intramural sports, including gymnas- tics, once again became a popular class. 118 119 This page: (top) Theology teacher Bill Elder studies pagan, black magic rituals, (right) Smiles camouflage Mr. Boelte ' s acute indigestion as he leaves the lunch table, (left) Mr. Hatchett practices his sign language.

But all of their time was not spent reading or listening to music, for they excelled in other activities not associated with an intel- lectual. When Mr. Boelte was not involved in his stirring lectures on modern literary criticism, he could be seen racing about town in his sports car. English and Humanities were not the only subjects in which Mr. Russell excelled. He was known by many friends as a terror on the tennis court. When not lecturing students on Russian civilization or the philosophy of Aristotle, Mr. Deaderick spent time advis- ing seniors on their college choices. As an old alumnus of Arkansas, he claimed to be a reliable source on the caliber of women from all campuses. Bill Elder found time between heading the Bible department and teaching English electives to help coach the eighth grade football team. In his many years at MUS Mr. Hatchett has always been known as the bearded motorcycle buff. He could also be seen each summer carousing about Europe gathering slides for his English classes. 121 A fraternity of teachers with a noticeably young outlook developed at MUS. Grady Garrison, between teaching his math and psychology classes, could be found joking and talking with upperclassmen. Friendli- ness and generosity contributed to Mr. Todd ' s popularity both in his chemistry class and out of it. Recently out of college, both Mr. Shearon and Mr. Gannon re- ceived a great amount of popularity among the younger students. They could always be found leading a group of seventh and eighth graders about the gym or sporting attractive dates at the basketball games. Mr. Gillespie, a stylish man on the basket- ball court, coached the C-team with hopes of developing future basketball strength. In his first teaching job, Mr. Corbet quickly endeared himself to his science students be- cause of his ever-present sense of humor. Larry Shurlds developed a new image at MUS. Besides coaching B-team basketball he took on the responsibility of regulating the upper school dress code and instituted a new course concerned with man ' s ecolog- ical problems. 122 1 ]l 1 pmll i ' X _.

Young Teachers Find Many Friends •-. Ji 123 Individualists Develop Unique Life Style Every faculty member at MUS could be called an individualist, but a few particular teachers, because of their quiet and re- served personalities, placed themselves in this group. When not teaching, his senior math classes, Mr. Perdue could be found resting quietly in his room or in the faculty lounge. Although very quiet and not known for his athletic ability, Mr. Haguewood was a welcomed addition to the faculty basketball team. Silence and re- served behavior were associated with Mr. Smith. Mr. Daniel, known by his students as the easy-going and hard-working eco- nomics teacher, took on a new job as the business manager for the school. Outstand- ing displays of soccer ability and a Spanish accent formed Mr. Kon ' s individualism. Mr. Mutzi made many friends due to his odd sense of humor and flare for cooking. Ham radio and amateur photography were the main hobbies of Mr. McGhee, a new teacher at MUS.

Their feminine view- point lent a complementary nature to MUS life. Mrs. Higgs returned from Germany in her VW microbus to resume teaching the Latin classes after a two year absence. The library once again became a place of study under the efficient direction of Mrs. Hamil- ton aided by Mrs. Huckaba. Miss Turner, the reading teacher, occasionally enlivened chapel programs with her lovely voice. Also interested in making music an impor- tant part of MUS activities, Mrs. Wessber- ry organized a choral music group and di- rected the musical Oklahoma. In her third year at MUS, Mrs. Robinson remained a fa- vorite among all of her pupils. Her fashio- nable dress and her friendly personality were a welcome break in the predominant- ly male school routine.

Service organizations in- cluded the office staff, bookstore, lunch- room staff, and the maintenance. As a newly formed organization, the Of- fice of Development and Alumni Affairs undertook many of the important jobs that were scattered throughout the school and brought them under the auspices of one of- fice. These jobs included the control of the Annual Support fund, school publications, maintaining records on pledges receivable from the 1967 building campaign, the me- morial gifts program, record keeping and secretarial services for the MUS Booster Club, and public relations services. This job was ably handled by Mr. Melvin Cooper and Mrs. W. H. Lenz, his secretary. The office staff included Mrs. Greene, the financial secretary, Miss Easum, who was also the typing instructor, and Mrs. Kirby, Col. Lynn ' s secretary.

His sleek and stylish hair has won him the title of Afro-Mole, and his friendly nature has bred such noteworthy comments as How ya doing? , and How go things? Don has done a great deal more, however. Who could match his eloquence in speaking or his adeptness at the wheel of a Hornet? His occupation with Baylor and with sports news has made him an avid conversationalist with students consult- ing him on certain odds. In addition, his continued efforts to promote the work of the Civic Service Club have been well received, and he has done much in the field of helping others. Lyman Carl Anderson, Jr. Lyman, or more commonly referred to as Chipmunk, has been one of the more quiet and reserved members of the senior class. Al- though his association with many of the lowly juniors has bred this silent characteristic, Lyman still exhibits many of the qualities in- herent in the elite group known as the Class of 71. His school spirit has reached an all time high, and his participation in the Civic Service Club is only surpassed by his exuber- ance at MUS sporting events. Some may for- get him, but his unassuming nature will live forever. Walter Preston Battle III Having spent the ninth and tenth grades in a boarding school up East, Preston returned to MUS with a great diversity of character and personality. He has shown much interest in the social problems of today and is eager to share the responsibility of solving some of our present day problems. Quite active in school affairs, Pres was Editor-in-Chief of the MUSe and served on a number of committees at school. Preston ' s personality displayed itself around school through his stimulating conver- sation and use of rather unusual terms for de- scribing most students. Academically and so- cially, Preston proved himself admirably, and because of this he will undoubtedly succeed in later life. Joel Pulliam Bell Jumping Joel and the Silent Wonder are two terms that describe the behavior of Joel Bell. Possibly the best rebounder for his height that MUS has ever had, Bell was also an excellent linebacker, bringing him the honor of All Big Ten. While skipping classes or after athletic practices, Joel may be found either chasing Ruth or flagging down planes. Joel has attended MUS since the eighth grade, and during that time, he has not only estab- lished an impressive record in athletics but has developed a way with women that is surpassed by few. 132 Arthur Gox Best, Jr. Bud has truly staked his claim to fame in his six years at MUS. He is the captain of the basketball team and has a great deal of poten- tial on and off the court. Often called Bud the Stud, he varies his outside interests from girls to rubbing his beard to girls again. A. C. B. has been on both the Honor Council and Student Council and hopes to further these positions of leadership in his college ca- reer. A sense of detail and precision will make this possible and will prove to be a valuable asset in Bud ' s very promising future. Bud fre- quently plays cards and golf, and his friends know that since he is never wrong, he must have an ace in the hole, somewhere. Mark John Bogatin Mark is perhaps the most versatile member of the Class of 71. Better known as Le Beau by himself, or simply Bo by his friends, Mark is distinguished by his cynicism and sometimes piercing remarks. Bo sees himself as W. C. Fields while playing cards, Horace Greely while editing his newspaper, and Gabe Hawkins while having a night on the town. On Monday mornings Bo can be heard in the lounge explaining how his car broke down five miles from nowhere. Obsessed with power and delusions of grandeur, Bo derives satisfaction from his managerial jobs at MUS, his newspaper, and Seay. The MUS students will never forget Bo ' s innumerable contribu- tions during his six years here — he won ' t let them. Thomas Everett Bryan, Jr. Tommy Bryan was the senior class ' answer to Johnny Cash. Yes, he not only can strum a few chords (very few), but he raises monkeys in his spare time. While in school, Tom is very neatly dressed; this may be due to his top salesman position at one of Memphis ' elite clothing stores. No one will ever forget Bryan ' s effort against Somerville, and every- one thought he should have made the check- list. Tommy, other wise known as Big Red, was an Eagle Scout coming to MUS in the tenth grade and established a reputation of being fearless. He is a fine track sprinter and stays high in his leisure time with air- planes and Debbie. David Richard Bull Although this was Bull ' s first year at MUS, he was quick to earn the friendship of his classmates. Dave started school a week late be- cause he was still working in Utah. Bull brought his soft-core liberalism with him from Illinois as well as his running ability, and his fine performance in cross-country won him the nickname of Flap-Flap from his comrades. David ' s driving ability is not as well known but equals, if not surpasses, his athletic accomplishments. Bull has often ter- rorized women and children with his reckless driving and was recently declared a public menace. David ' s great personality and unique viewpoints, however, were quite welcome ad- ditions to the senior class. 133 David Shields Carroll, Jr. David Carroll, known to his classmates as Delco, is one of the most school spirited seniors at MUS. Although David has been at MUS for six rewarding years, some of the newer members of the senior class may not be familiar with him due to his extensive use of the class cut system. When needed, David can always be found either at the nearest fishing hole or at home recovering from some obscure illness acquired during hospital duty. Marty, his biggest supporter and most expensive hobby, is almost as well known as David. David will be one of the hardest members of the senior class to replace, and MacDonald ' s will be unhappier than anyone to see him go. William Martin Clough, Jr. During his six years at MUS, Martin has made quite an impression on his classmates due to his friendliness and good sense of humor. As a senior, Martin undertook many duties that usually go unnoticed by other stu- dents. Being the head cheerleader, it was Mar- tin ' s job to make such things as signs, goal post decorations, and maps. Martin ' s talents were also used in the Student Council this year as he was appointed Parliamentarian with the task of revamping the Constitution. Chucky Checker will be remembered by ev- eryone, and for a select few, certain talents will never be forgotten. They will always re- member the great heights he reached in the sand dunes of Florida, his docking talents in the boat and out of it, and his sudden deep plunges into Horseshoe Lake for sinking trea- sures. William Wiley Cox Football and skeet shooting were the main interests of Bill while at MUS. When not on the gridiron, Hoot Owl could be seen bombing around town in his station wagon or pumping gas in Collierville. Bill often dazzled the student body on Fridays with his wardrobe of Collierville originals, ranging from a check- ered red coat to grey and black two-tone shoes. His skeet shooting career was ended as a sen- ior because of the city ' s regulation against shooting firearms within the city limits, but as a junior, Bill ' s dead eye earned him second place in the Hunting and Fishing Club ' s com- petition. Bill ' s determination should serve him well in later life, but he will have to watch his sensitivity to kidding. George Williamson Dameron George has been a most welcome addition to the Class of ' 71. His serious and reflective attitude has helped to balance many flamboy- ant characteristics about school, and his vast repertoire . of philosophical statements and facts has amazed virtually all of his classmates. As Honor Council President, George had oc- casion to make a number of speeches to the student body, often saying the wrong things at the wrong time. However, his remarkable pa- tience deserves special merit, as he spends hours listening to French tapes and has been known never to curse on the tennis court. George ' s skill in the areas of academics and sports and his great love of nature make him an interesting and involved member of MUS, both contributing and receiving valuable knowledge and experience. 134 David Hollis Denton Arkansas Dave, the boy who would die for the good of his state, has left an unforget- table impression on his fellow classmates. Aside from cruising around without his shirt in his unbeatable pickup truck, he proved his manly image when he finally made the foot- ball team as a senior. His excellent singing voice earned him a high position in the cast of Oklahoma. High speed driving, gunmanship, and hunting round out his list of talents. David is the last of a long line of Dentons that have attended MUS, and he certainly fol- lows clearly in line with the others. James Searcy Dickerson, Jr. Jimbo claims to have attended MUS for six years, but most tend to doubt this due to his frequent vacations from school. While playing the role of the non-conformist during his years at MUS, Jim has been more con- cerned with developing his own life style than most of his classmates think. An independent student with a personality reflecting a high de- gree of self-reliance, Jimbo derives a great deal of satisfaction from doing as he pleases. Some apathy has been noticed in his high school ca- reer, yet his blunt and effective humor has well balanced this trait. A jolly fellow, Jim has surely been appreciated by the Class of ' 71. Gayden Drew IV Although Gayden is a political conserva- tive, he is no dud in other areas. A renowned storyteller, Gayden has parred every golf course in Memphis and is the best golf pros- pect in West Tennessee. In addition to this distinction, he is the self-proclaimed paper football champ of 1970. A flashy dresser, Gay- den recently startled the MUS fashion scene with his spiffy, white, corduroy bells. Flashing lights can surprise Gayden and trigger his es- cape mechanism. Results of his common knowledge quizzes reveal that he is a master of trivia. Seriously, however, Gayden has dis- tinguished himself admirably in the areas of sports and academics, clearly showing his di- versity of character. Bruce Carlisle Edenton III Bruce came to MUS in his senior year from that thriving metropolis, Jackson, Tennessee. Most of his weekends are spent in Jackson due to its exciting night life, where the major weekend attractions include watching the street lights change and smoking in the barn. Bruce has two main loves in life — cars and women. The women have to be fast; the cars don ' t. This is illustrated by the fact that Bruce has owned two Fords during his stay at MUS, a Mustang and a Pinto. The thing Bruce likes most about school is the senior lunch privi- lege; so much in fact, that he uses it every day. 135 Robert Rich Fallis, Jr. Robert, or Deacon, as he is better known by his classmates, came to MUS in the tenth grade. Since he has been at school, Robert has endeared himself to every student. Deac will best be remembered for his feats on the grid- iron, yet Robert has gone much farther in school life than just sports. He is president of the Senior High Fellowship at his church and is also Chaplain of the Student Council. Rob- ert has been known to be quite a lady ' s man. He will always be remembered for his famous question, What can I do tonight? Maybe one of these days, we ' ll give him a truthful an- swer. Kirkpatrick Wood Frederick Fred, known for his great sense of humor and his conspicuity in school and at social events, is following in the footsteps of his il- lustrious brother, Baron Von Frederick. How- ever, there are several differences to be seen. Kirk ' s proficiency in naval affairs was recog- nized when he was promoted to Rear Admiral in the lead fleet. In addition, being the diversi- fied man that he is, he won many awards at the dragstrip with his famous White Streak, which recently died of exhaustion. As a result of his wide variety of interests and academic excellence, Frederick the Greatest plans to grace the architectural world with his fabulous mind and stimulating ideas, envisioning him- self as the Frank Lloyd Wright of the future. Stanley Learned Fri k 41 Although Stan is known throughout MUS as a good distance runner, a National Merit Fi- nalist, and a member of the Student Council, there are many things that aren ' t readily known about him. In addition to possessing a great memory, Stan has a permanent parking space at St. Mary ' s. Twice a year Stan is seen wandering through the halls in search of able- bodied men who are willing to risk a blind date. Stan spends a great deal of time out of William Parks Fri town and has gained valuable experience in writing six page letters to Marty. Whimp is well liked by his comrades and is affectionally known as The Nibbler for his nocturnal es- capades. While Stan admits he enjoys water skiing and adventures, he will not admit he enjoys, or even does, other things besides ski on these trips. Stan ' s abilities are many, but few people like to credit him with the ones he exhibits. Although Bill has participated in sports as well as other activities at MUS, one of his greatest accomplishments is his off-campus business, Fri ' s Safaris. In the past, this trip expert has handled such monstrous jobs as skiing trips to Horseshoe Lake and 6,000 mile journeys into the wilds of Canada. One factor in all of these excursions has been Bill ' s spe- cially equipped car. This unique automobile can usually be seen pulling a boat to a nearby lake, where Bill tries new mind-expanding feats on a slalom ski (how does he stay so re- laxed?). Every spring, Bill looks forward to another skiing season and another three months of extended travel. 136 Harvey Edward Garrett, Jr. Since his arrival at MUS in the ninth grade, Ed has made many lasting relationships. Due to his great initiative to excel, he has achieved outstanding merits in the fields of both scho- lastics and journalism, and as a result, was voted Most Likely to Succeed. Throughout the halls, Ed was easily spotted with a freshly sun-baked face — even in Mid-January. It was called to attention that this was due largely to an overexposure. As to the retreats to the wilds of Horseshoe Lake, Ed ' s adventures amounted only to several exhibitions of water ballet. Ed ' s claims to fame will always be re- membered as his I960 Brown Bomb, his back- yard playroom, and sucking his ring. Philip Gould Philip Gould is definitely one of the MUS unforgettables. Still not knowing what his duties are, he maintains the position of Senior Class President. Imitation is a sign of true af- fection. Surely, this fact makes Phil extreme- ly popular since he receives more static than anybody else in school. He is said to be one of the best linemen in MUS history and made All-Big Ten at tackle. Phil ' s prowess is carried on when not on the field, as he holds the rep- utation of Don Juan Gould. While not in his 442, or not reading bedtime stories to Bar- bie, Phil is ready to try anything new and ex- citing. He can ski well, but his true talent of charming the ladies overshadows the rest of his handsome qualities. Hiram Jennings Goza III Hiram has come into his own during his senior year at MUS. A once quiet and shy no- body, Hiram has emerged as a veritable dyna- mo of energy, ingenuity, and initiative. This success is due largely to Hiram ' s cheerleading job, which has placed him in a real position to contribute to MUS. Spirit Week and a Ger- mantown girl are evidences of Hiram ' s suc- cesses — at least that ' s what Hiram says. A master of wit and comedy, Hiram has enter- tained many students with his speeches, jokes, and impressions. On the week-ends and dur- ing holidays, when Hiram is not working hard as a grocery store checker, he can be seen visit- ing the wilds of Arkansas on ski trips. For these reasons, Ruby Bagonya will always re- main immortal in the minds of those who know him. Myron Ashner Halle III Myron Halle has now become a member of the Volunteer pack, heading their way to the campus of UT in Knoxville. Certainly Ron will fit right in with this group. Leading an unbeatable social life and maintaining good grades leave Ron little time for rest. Ron was elected president of his church group, and he is the big brother for Sigma Sorority. As a big brother, his job included coaching their foot- ball and basketball teams. Being one of the few members of the Pep Club, Ron ' s school spirit was shown at many games and occasion- ally on the stage in chapel. We still haven ' t decided why he moped around the school for weeks after the Who ' s Who election. Never- theless, Ron ' s personality will certainly be re- membered by all. 137 Gabe Coke Hawkins, Jr. Gorilla Gabe, alias Tubby, has certain- ly acquired a great amount of fame at MUS. When not shaving, bumping his rear end into things, or swinging his weight around, Gabe can be found pursuing the more cultural as- pects of MUS. Quite a crowd pleaser, he has charmed all the fans with his running ability and spirit. Possibly one of the most outspoken members of the senior class, Gabe has gained popularity as shown by his office of Commis- sioner of Athletics. Due to his reputation as a hard worker, Gabe has devoted his high school career to the development of the athlet- ic world and spending time with Charlotte at the CLM. Patrick Norman Hay Pat Hay, The Midnight Cowboy, is well known for his frustrating dates with Terry. Al- though equally known for his quick hands, he has always been stopped cold by Terry ' s light- ning reflexes. Pat ' s school attendance has been marred by his occasional cruises on the river. These cruises were almost an everyday occur- rence before the teachers found out that Pat was an MUS student. Being quite perturbed, he once took a cruise with a Lausanne girl named Patti but soon went overboard. Pat will long be remembered for his O. B. lunch trips, his morbid jokes, his encounter with yel- low cacti, and his unquenchable thirst. Mark Michael Jarzombek Mark, alias Jaybekker, is perhaps the best violinist in the senior class; however, he is also the only senior who plays the violin. As Civic Service ' Club President, Mark has at- tempted to promote a sense of community ser- vice in the student body. His dramatic and sometimes violent oratorical presentations were indicative of his efforts. Possessed with an overwhelming desire to study and learn, Mark often spent hours at home reading or cramming for the next month ' s exam. A ris- ing liberal, he recently enhanced his present image with radical, wire-rimmed glasses. Defi- nitely an industrious and devoted student, he will surely succeed in all of his endeavors at college. Thomas Richard Jones As our Student Council President, Tommy has been both hardworking and popular. He was voted Best All Around by his fellow seniors in the Who ' s Who election, a well de- served honor indeed. Tommy has not only been a leader in school activities, but has been influential on the sports field as well. Serving as co-captain of the football team and being selected to the All Big Ten team certainly ex- emplify his athletic prowess. When Poo is not fox hunting, he can be found lifting weights or occasionally studying. Tommy will be remembered for his drive and courage on the football field as well as his friendly and likable ways with his fellow students at MUS. 138 Elbert Franklin King III Twanky Franky is a man whom everyone thinks they know a little about, but actually know nothing about; even Frank. Going to school just to participate in spring vacation and Christmas holidays, Frank is a true sup- porter of MUS ' hallowed halls. From the French Quarter of New Orleans to the deserts of Destin, Elbert is quite a traveller. In fact, Frank can often be found travelling to and from MUS any time of the day. He showed determination and aggression both on the football field and on his dates. Frank ' s size brings awe to all the little lads and respect from all his friends. Frank Twist Kirkpatrick Fearless Frankie is undoubtedly one of the more notable students around, as his profi- ciency at ludicrous dress and his general mass are his most outstanding qualities. From a so- cial standpoint, Frankie has proven to be in- valuable at SCS parties by managing the cash register at all costs. He has expressed some vo- cational interests in this activity, and after he finishes college, you might see him working at Kent ' s Dollar Store punching those but- tons. His intellectual powers definitely have the potential to move mountains, and along with Quackenboss, he has taken part in intel- ligible discussions beyond the profound. Thomas Coffey Lacey, Jr. Since coming to MUS in the tenth grade, Tom has brightened the halls of school with his amiable personality and smiling face. Hail- ing from Holly Springs, Mississippi, Tom is a true Mississippi gentleman as he fervently supports Ole Miss and anything else repre- sentative of Mississippi. He has been an active member of the golf team for three years, tra- velling to the state meet as a sophomore. A se- rious student, Tom is not at a loss for com- ments involving school life and academic en- deavors. His easy-going personality and friendliness have made Tom a pleasing fellow and a welcome member of the senior class. David William Lenz David is the real image of an MUS gentle- man. He has been a student at MUS for the past four years. Being a real athlete, David at- tended the MSU Basketball Clinic so he could be an MUS P.E. star. Most days in gym, how- ever, he is stopped in his tracks by Coach Ru- dolph for disputing a score. Recently, David has become an avid follower of the new styles in clothes. At any given moment, he is likely to be better dressed than your yard man. Every Sunday, David goes to church twice. He has crashed there many times, but you couldn ' t tell it by looking at his car. 139 Robert Theodore Levy Bob Levy is a member of the Tuckahoe- Cherry bunch. He can often be seen squealing down neighboring streets in his hot GTO with a woman at his side. Everyone wonders whether it is the car or Bob ' s good looks that gets the girls, but only Bob knows for sure. He is an avid supporter of athletic events at MUS, and is noted for his skill at snow skiing. Bob has helped develop the Owl ' s Hoot and will help out at anything whenever he will re- ceive credit. At MUS, Bob is known for his quiet personality, but if you ask one of his fe- male companions, they will surely disagree. David Dickason McBurney For years now, gentle Dave has continually confused and perplexed his classmates. Early in his high school career, our friend Dave dis- played an unbelievable ability to thwart all au- thority and meet trouble with a smile, regard- less of the adversity. At school, fighting Dave ' s prowess on the football field has only been surpassed by his amazing ability to clean up the student lounge. His powers are not solely janatorial, however, as on more than one occasion he has been seen with Mandy or Amy at Population Zero meetings. Intellectu- ally speaking, fisty Dave is known for coming up with succinct solutions to hairy problems. All joking aside, funky Dave is probably one of the true individuals of the senior class. John McFadden Coming back from St. Paul ' s School, Jake has jumped to the forefront of the Memphis scene, both in school and out. He is held in awe by members of both sexes as to how he is able to get all those girls without getting caught. Possessing a complex mind, he as- tounds his classmates with his remarkable ability to be so smart while doing a minimum of work. Jake is known for his hilarious out- bursts of schizophrenic jocundity and unciph- erable jargon with not only his friends, but also Col. Lynn and the Memphis Country Club. Girls have been known to marvel for hours at his bulging biceps, going out of their minds with ecstacy. What more could you ex- pect from an S.C.S. member? Arthur Barlow Treadwell Mann Barlow ( Mario ) Mann is the classic example of a well-bred MUS student. Through his overwhelming sense of polite- ness, he has won the affection of every faculty member with possibly the exception of Coach Boutwell. Barlow ' s nickname has a double meaning. Not only does it draw attention to his truly limitless driving skill, but it betrays his favorite eating spot. Once after a fast trip to this hideaway, Barlow acquired the nick- name, Veg, although there were extenuat- ing circumstances. In addition to his driving technique and immense affection for the teachers, Barlow will always be remembered for his famous snowballing of the faculty. 140 David Brownson Martin, Jr. David Martin is a regular of the Mac- Donald ' s for lunch bunch. His well-equipped, little red tank can always be spotted sliding out of the parking lot around twelve-thirty, rain or shine. David ' s philosophy, It ' s always greener on the other side, is applied to nearly everything he does. Cowboy Dave is quite popular with certain Lausanne ladies, and his frequent weekend jaunts down Massey Road attest to this fact. Seriously, David ' s interests are many. They lie in cars, hunting, cars, fish- ing, cars, women, and cars. He and his friends have drummed up quite an interest in automo- tive engineering at MUS with David doing a great amount of research work in the parking lot before three o ' clock. Douglas Oliver Matthews Doug captured the honor of being the first senior to be accepted at college, having ap- plied to SMU under the early decision plan. A member of the National Honor Society, Doug stands high on the academic ladder at MUS. Possessing that never-say-die spirit found only in champions, Doug made himself a valuable asset to P.E. athletic teams while at school. Doing work on the musical production of Oklahoma as a part of the stage crew was an- other of Doug ' s accomplishments as a senior. A congenial personality goes a long way at school, and Doug certainly never fell short in this department. Charles Ray Morris, Jr. Chucky Pooh and Curly are two appro- priate terms that describe Chuck Morris. One of the most active Christians of the senior class, Chuck has spent many an hour doing a large amount of church work. An unfortunate football injury led Chuck ' s athletic pursuits to basketball, where they were displayed on the varsity team. When not on the court, Chuck spends his time planning MUS parties as he is Vice-President of the Student Council. His hobbies range from chasing kittens to sing- ing lullabies. Chuck will best be remembered for his honest approach and sincere attitude toward his fellow student s. David Stephen Morrow Steve Morrow, the most athletic member of the senior class, has been a leader ever since he came to MUS in the eighth grade. Co-cap- tain of both the track and basketball teams, Steve has proven his ability to endure in ev- erything but girl-chasing. As a member of the Honor Council, he is definitely considered honest in all aspects of his life (except his card playing). Steve and Muff, the dynamic duo, are never apart except when Steve is flex- ing in the heat of battle. An academic schol- ar as well as an athlete, Steve has shown him- self to be a most versatile individual. Just ask Shelley. 141 William Edgar Parrish Bill ( Elvis Parrishly ) Parrish is an out- standing fellow at MUS, meaning he stands out. Although Bill ' s sporting feats have won him wide acclaim in gym class, he is more commonly known for his athletic strut. Elvis has often dazzled audiences with his heavy, hair-raising tales of his beautiful friends: male, female, and otherwise. Never- theless, he is eager to help others and is al- ways around with a kind word or a good joke. In all seriousness, Bill will always be remem- bered for his athletic prowess, his style of walking, his tales of his adventuresome love life, and his encounter with the G.P.D. due to a postal offense. John Michael Perkins Perk, the A-l destroyer of the Colonel ' s 100% college bound seniors record, is definite- ly a person to be remembered. Mike came to MUS with a great deal of athletic ability, and the coaches were well rewarded. Pool Hall Perkins was always found to be doing any- thing other than worrying about the next day ' s assignments. The senior class will never forget him for his exciting stories and unbe- lievable escapades, not only away from school but also in school, as it seems difficult to be- lieve that one individual could do so much and yet still attend high school. Undoubtedly, Mike will leave just as unforgettable an im- pression in his new home, the National Guard. James Leroy Petty Jimmy is a party-goer and has long been known for actively attending the drink-ins at Ann ' s every Saturday night. At athletic events, Jimmy can usually be found either making quick runs to his GTO for stronger refresh- ments or napping on the rear floorboard of his car, trying to sleep off the exertions of the game. Each day at lunch time, Easy Jimmy can be seen exercising his lunch privilege for a quick run to O.B. Nevertheless, Jimmy displayed his golfing ability quite well while at school and has contributed greatly to the sense of spirit and pride at MUS. Robert Overton Phelps Bob ' s casual, easy-going personality has made him a very popular member of the Class of ' 71. Bristling with a remarkable talent for playing bridge, Bob makes every hand a truly hair-raising experience for his opponents. His hard work on the paper staff was certainly ap- preciated at school, and last summer Bob worked as a counselor at the muscular dystro- phy camp for handicapped children. These ac- tivities, combined with the fact that Bob heads his church group and finds time for an after school job, indicate the type of sincere in- dividual that he really is. Bob will always be remembered for his own particular brand of enthusiasm in the classroom. ' 142 William Lewis Pritchard William Pritchard, affectionately known as Bill Pritchard to his friends, is a non-commit- ted, militant pacifist, who, like many other MUS students, enjoys a good yoga lesson every once in a while. Although playing no sports, he has gained the attention and respect of the athletes as well as the flies with other individualistic activities. He is a very good actor and has appeared in several dramatic pro- ductions including The Mousetrap and Oklaho- ma; he is an outstanding public speaker and can listen as well as he speaks. Bill is also a leader, for who could he follow? Voted Com- missioner of Student Activities by his fellow students and chosen Most Talented by the senior class, Bill is definitely the epitomy of a talented activist. John Scott Quackenboss John, more commonly known among his xiends as Quack, became a part of MUS bur and one-half years ago when he moved r rom Ankara, Turkey to Memphis. While ov- erseas, Quack toured Europe extensively, as :an be seen by his overly displayed romanti- ;ism and fluency of Italian slang. Quack ' s nemorable traits are his aversion to Coach Smith ' s geometry and his slow to catch on manner, which prompts much laughter and of course, a few regretful sighs. Although Quack ' s extracurricular activities might ruffle the feathers of several mothers, this mild-man- nered individual will be greatly remembered as a unique member of the Silver Cadillac So- ciety. Jack Woodford Ray, Jr. Woody, one of our few Arkansas commut- ers, will surely be a great loss when he leaves the hallowed halls of MUS. Definitely one of the more popular members of the senior class, he is always ready to start a conversation. Woody has been a great asset to both the MUS track and cross country teams. He was always willing to lend his car for any trip no matter where it was or what happened. Woody will be remembered for his gray pon- toon boat on Horseshoe Lake, his second resi- dency at Sprunt ' s, leading the Saturday skiing expeditions, and falling asleep in his car. Patrick Layton Sanders, Jr. Layton is one of the more conspicuous members of the Class of ' 71. In addition to being Vice-President of the Civic Service Club, he was somehow able to secure Mr. Hatchett ' s High Scholar Seat in English class. As typing editor of The Owl ' s Hoot, Lay- ton put in a lot of hard work and always man- aged never to type his name in Penniless. He is the only student in the history of MUS to have the distinction of hitting two cars in the parking lot on the same day. We will re- member Layton for his orange Volkswagen, the use of the word heavy, and his frequent trips to Glendora, Mississippi. 143 Charles Harrell Schaeffer High Flying Harrell is most widely known for his B.Y.O.B. parties at the Schaef- fer mansion. Although he has been flying since the tenth grade, he was recently shot down in his junior year by a nymph named Irma. Harrell was the owner of a yellow pseu- do-supercar (his GSX ) until it was convert- ed to a combination plow and washing ma-, chine. His next car was that really fast 350 Skylark. In addition to his taste in cars, Har- rell will be remembered most for his plane, his 40 ft. Dodge motor home, and his contin- ual battle to make it to school on time. Mark Edward Schandorff Since enrolling at MUS in the tenth grade, Mark Schandorff has become one of the most successful seniors. A real leader, Mark com- bines a quick mind with an outgoing friendli- ness and wit. Shack ' s overall character earned him the Vice-Presidency of the Honor Council, and his integrity is only surpassed by his basketball prowess. Possibly best known for this skill, Mark became a leader on the var- sity squad after his ineligible sophomore year. On occasion throughout his illustrious career, he was found very Busched after a hard game. Shack will always be remembered for his long arms, quick smile, and miserable poker playing. The esteem in which he is held by his classmates proves that Shack is destined to go far. Robert F. Sharpe, Jr. Bogus Bob is well known throughout MUS for his infamous nightly activities on the weekends. Bob finally succeeded in getting in at Laus anne, and this year he even got a Franchise in some of their stock. Bob is per- haps known for his cars, but even more so for his airplanes; give Bob a call, and he ' ll fly you anywhere. Bob ' s academic abilities are second only to his explicit use of language to describe words. Perhaps Bob will follow in his father ' s footsteps in the literary field, and he may someday achieve the same fame as Henry Mil- ler. Michael Joseph Sites Mike has certainly proven to be a unique senior at MUS. Undoubtedly one of the most school spirited members of the student body, he has staged both verbal and physical dis- plays of team support at many games. In the area of fashion, Mike has astounded everyone. He can usually be seen wearing a variety of unusual clothing ranging from a rat hair belt to cowboy boots. As a storyteller, Mike has pleased his friends with a number of tales, es- pecially those of his past and future visits to UT. Mike will be remembered by every senior as an individual whose friendliness and habitu- al joking made 1971 a rewarding year. 144 Landon Jerome Smith, Jr. Landon Smith is one of the most popular men in the Class of ' 71, as can be testified by the droves of cars that frequent his house every weekend. Though this could be irritat- ing to some, not true for Lang, for he is also well noted for his friendliness with members of both sexes. An electronic genius, Landon has been instrumental in bathtub and toilet re- pair at the fantastic S.C.S. Cow Palace. Fre- quently he can be seen there in his flashy cos- tumes paying homage to the depraved urchins which are attracted to him like flies. It is these qualities — popularity, friendliness, and intel- ligence that will make him near and dear to every MUS student. LaValle Doyle Sorrells, Jr. LaValle Sorells, affectionally known to his friends as Preacher, is one of the quiet MUS scholars. On weekends, however, LaValle shows his true colors. Once he became so upset that he tried to fight a Marine sergeant at the fairgrounds, but he passed up the chance. Since Dave left last year, LaValle has been trying to find someone to fill in, but he has found this to be quite a difficult task. On a recent trip to U.T., he insisted on stopping at every service station for a map. Neverthe- less, LaValle will long be remembered for his blue bomb with the scythe under the front seat. V fc ' : . - . John Huddleston Trezevant Lance Rock, otherwise called Trez, can be characterized as a person who does his own thing. Hunting and racing jeeps are two of the many things John can do. Lausanne girls and MUS cheerleaders have felt the im- pact of his carm and curls. Deciding early in his high school career to follow the road of re- bellion, John has truly stood up for what he believes. Seen to be a person of character and perseverance, he is an individual with a great deal of potential. Often he seems not to care, but people who know him realize that he shows his feelings in a different way. Hubert King Turley III After returning from a junior year of captiv- ity at Baylor, Ole Hube has slipped right back into the swing of things. Hube will most probably be remembered for his extreme weekend activities and his absolutely dead pan wit, which prompted his selection as Wittiest in the Who ' s Who election. Perhaps his greatest contributions to the school were his participation on the varsity football team and his slashing remarks coined in Penni- less. His true romance with Lee over the years was a bewildering one. Since the world renowned Cow Palace is located in Hube ' s, alias Budweiser ' s, backyard, his property suf- fered greatly from the dynamic parties often held there. Regardless of anything else, Hube will always be remembered as an esteemed member of the S.C.S. 145 Michael Gavin Carter Webster Mike Webster has definitely been the most singular addition to the Class of ' 71. His low grade, infantile wit and his continual tongue in cheek comments on anything set him apart from everyone else. Seriously, though, Mike was an asset to the MUS football team. Showing a great amount of determination and perseverance, he came out in his senior year and made the team. David Denton ' s constant companion and sidekick around school, Mike was always present when the fun began. Mike ' s distinguishing characteristics remain his leather pants, sleeping in class, hippie pounding, and the phrase, die, dog, die! Jess Malpass Wesberry Voted Friendliest in the Who ' s Who election, Jess always has a smile on his face. A good driver, as he will tell you, he has been known to run red lights to add a little excite- ment. Although his erratic steering has prompted rumors that he drinks, Jess reports that it is just the way he drives. A Student Council member for four years and a cheer- leader for two, Jess has been deeply involved in all aspects of school life. He is a George Wallace supporter, and although beset by lib- eral opinions from others, he remains a true conservative. Jess will always be remembered for his friendly nature, his athletic prowess, and his open mindedness. Robert Alfred Whiteside Since coming to MUS in the tenth grade, Robert has contributed much to MUS. His ac- ademic endeavors earned Robert membership in the Cum Laude Society and the honor of National Merit Finalist. Robert was also a boost to the track team due to his great im- provement in the pole vault. It must have been the threat of working with the distance runners which made him soar a little higher.- Of course, what people will reme mber most about Robert is the frequency with which his VW broke down, his unusual relationship with Coach Boutwell, and the fact that Robert commuted on weekends to some place called Cotton Plant way down the road in Arkansas. Robert Davis Winston Although this is Robert ' s first year at MUS, he has made many friends. Quiet and rather soft-spoken, Robert is very easy to get along with. He is our only ambassador from Fayette County and acts as a one man Chamber of Commerce for that vast, sprawling metropolis of Moscow, Tennessee. Being from Moscow, he has acquired the nickname, Robbie the Red. Robert is one of the few members of the MUS air force and is sometimes consid- ered to be the highest flier. Frankly, Robert has been a welcome addition to our class and has provided an air of modesty to the hectic pace of curricular life. 146 James Philip Wiygul Phil came on the scene at MUS in his jun- ior year as a shy, unknown, and quiet student and rapidly became one of the most popular members of the senior class. Known by his women as Fickle Phil, he has gradually created enough success stories to overshadow his defeats. Although Phil gave up all responsibilities on publications for the pursuit of happiness and pleasure, we all know that this was done for the entire male race. Always dressed to perfection, Phil received the honor of being voted Best Dressed in the Who ' s Who election. For these things Phil will al- ways be remembered, and no one will ever for- get his green Stang. Malcolm Barboro Wood Malcolm, more affectionately known as Malfunction, is very well known to the sen- ior class, at school anyway. But on the week- ends and particularly during Christmas, his main interests are devoted to a sweet lass named Marion. Function played on the ten- nis team for a brief span, until he contracted bronchitis. However, Malcolm is perhaps bet- ter known as one of the lunch basketball stars. While at MUS, Malcolm has had an avid in- terest in American History. We ' ll never forget the inscription on Malcolm ' s class ring: Class of 1970. Lester Robinson York, Jr. Less York, a six year member of the sen- ior class, has remained one of the more friend- ly and witty seniors. One of those people that everyone knows and likes, he is always around with a big smile and a hearty laugh. Although very little is known about his love life, he has managed to come up with a number of stories concerning his expeditions to certain Missis- sippi lounges. Throughout the year, Les was usually found swinging a golf club, not only at golf balls, but at Gayden Drew. Along with his duffing ability, Rob will be remembered for his stylish hair and his ice cream dipping at Baskins and Robbins. 147 Seniors Shoulder Responsibility The Senior year is the culmination of all of the qualities that Memphis University School has endeavored to instill in its stu- dents. However, this effort involves more than just the education of a teenage youth through enrollment in academic courses and participation in organized activities. For a senior is a mature, young man both using and enjoying such attributes as re- sponsibility, privilege, and nonsensical apa- thy. These qualities, combined with indi- vidual traits of personality and character, comprise the MUS senior — a young adult with varied inte rests and activities ranging from academic indulgence to fun-loving commitment. Responsibility plays a most definite role in the life of an MUS senior as he is con- stantly confronted with certain duties and obligations which he alone must fulfill. He owes himself the responsibility of main- taining good grades and completing the necessary steps in applying to college. He is bound to others through his representa- tion in both the Student Council and the Honor Council and through his responsi- ble positions on various literary publica- tions and athletic teams. Furthermore, as one of the oldest and most experienced stu- dents around school, a senior stands as a re- sponsible leader who sets an example for younger and newer students. Truly, a sen- ior is one who is confronted with certain tasks and goals which he is conditioned to anticipate and trained to overcome. 148 Opposite page: {top) Bill Parrish prepares to inject a stimulating comment into an American History de- bate, (bottom) Martin Clough projects himself into the Utopian world of Walden II.

Opposite page: {top) Jess Wesber- ry guffaws at David Denton ' s milk drinking trick. Senior Privileges Attest to Achievement Privilege is yet another quality inherent in a senior. As a senior has endured five previous years of curricular life at MUS, he merits a number of special privileges which grant him such rights as going out to lunch, having a senior holiday, and leaving school seventh period. These rewards are hard-earned and represent the thanks of many throughout school. Other privileges, such as breaking in lunch lines, getting the best seats in chapel and in class, and sleep- ing during the day, give a senior a great sense of satisfaction and authority. In this way, a senior is reminded of his influential situation, his series of accomplishments, and his contributions to others while at- tending MUS. 150 The 1971 Who ' s Who: ( to r) Steve Morrow — MOST ATHLETIC, Philip Gould — MOST POPULAR, Tommy Jones — BEST ALL AROUND, Hubert Turley — WIT- TIEST, Stan Fri — MOST INTELLIGENT, Ed Garrett — MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED, Phil Wiygul — BEST DRESSED, Jess Wesberry — FRIENDLIEST, Gabe Hawkins — MOST SCHOOL SPIRITED, (not pictured) Bill Pritchard — MOST TALENTED. 151 Blissful Passiveness Becomes Norm Throughout a senior ' s last year at MUS, he encounters a period of nonsensical apa- thy which serves to enlighten both his spirits and feelings. Although this attitude persists primarily in the latter half of the school year, it is felt by every senior at one time or another. Such activities as mass class cutting, shooting the breeze in the halls, and making sarcastic remarks to teachers are all examples of an indifferent approach to curricular life. Outside of school, partying, drinking, and hell-raising in general, provide a welcome escape from the sometimes drab and overbearing pat- tern of studying. A senior participates in these enjoyable distractions from high school as he will soon be entering college where serious thought and effort are re- quired. Thus, experiences involving loafing and the pursuit of pure fun occupy a sen- ior ' s last days at Memphis University School. 152 Opposite page: {top) Bob Levy ' s ho-hum mouth is brought to his attention by Schack.

The student grew in- tellectually and emotionally as he pro- gressed in his school and social involve- ment. The study program at MUS was geared to encourage more responsibilities. The student received more freedom in the selec- tion of courses. As the underclassmen grew in maturity, more varied and specialized courses were offered such as Ecology and Social and Intellectual History. With an eye always toward college, the student was allowed to pursue special interests. Ad- vanced placement courses were offered to some juniors to acquaint them with college level work. The student ' s responsibilities increased in extra-curricular activities as his ability to meet them increased. The role of support- ing fund-raising drives and ad campaigns has traditionally fallen on the lower grades. The older and more mature the student be- came, the more opportunities for involve- ment were available. Club presidencies were manned. Students competed for Stu- dent Council and Honor Council offices. Varsity sports opened up. The annual and newspaper were staffed. Much of life at MUS was preparation. The student was prepared for college. He was prepared for employment, community responsibility, and fair dealings with oth- ers. The student did not emerge so much changed as strengthened and matured. 157 Ricky Alden Keith Alexander John Anderson Willis Ayres Gerald Barksdale Donald Batchelor Denby Brandon Stephen Burns Joe Byrne David Cartwright Jack Cash Charles Cato Junior Class Lightheartedness . . . 158 Randy Chow Oliver Cobb Jim Corkren Eddie Crenshaw Stewart Crisler Russell Day Richard DeSaussure Bill Duffey Chris Eilertsen Chuck Farmer Dick Fisher Mike Fitzgerald Mike Gannon Neuman Goshorn Warren Hamilton Joel Hobson Tommy Hoehn Ken Humphries Henry Hutton Richard Jameson Hank Jones m § ivm I WSm 159 1 Paul Jones Read Kirkpatrick Tommy Kirkpatrick David Larson Ebby Lunn Carey McCarter Bill Maxwell Dan Michael . . .

I could not have enjoyed a task more, and I am grateful for the opportunities of learning and working with people, which the edi- tor ' s job afforded me. I am sure all of those who worked together on this book will agree, for every editor took pride in his work and sacrificed hours of free time toward the efforts of a better book. Certainly meritorious of recognition were the photographers who worked at all hours to cover noteworthy events and to deliver quality prints of fine photography. The section editors always cooperated with each other and came through with their pages when deadlines drew near. I have never seen a staff more willing to work and more interested in a fine yearbook. And for Mr. Cooper, who gave of his time, who kept me going when the work piled up, and who interjected his enthusiasm in the whole staff, my thanks will not suffice. The preceding pages were meant to be a glimpse of time, and a glimpse of a school ' s character, to recreate and preserve the events and emotions and faces peculiar to the 1971 MUS school year. MUS is a great school, and my hope is that it will not stand still but continue to grow and change and participate in the interests of developing better individuals in a better world.
