There were the usual petty disputes and infrac- tions of rules but few people seri- ously defied all authority. Seniors reveled in their last year, allowing themselves to drift lackadaisically through the second semester. This year was much like every other year at MUS. With the trend to make everything and anything relevant, student con- cern for the school ' s image and its policies exploded over the campus throughout the year. History will view the 1972-73 year with a mul- titude of others, barely distin- guishing one from another. Yet MUS students will remember those events, qualities, and moods that made this year especially uni- que for them. 2 1 y ' smo ' OH S r !i mSMttff Opposite page: New student Marc Chid- ley anxiously watches antics of MUS vet- erans.

Whether anxious or not to emerge into aca- demic life again, students were soon preoccupied with buying books, changing schedules, and seeing old f riends. It took a little time for the new- comer to become accustonied to such things as the diversity of the curriculum, the varying and some- times bewildering attitudes of fel- low students and faculty, and Pep Club skits that were either very good or very bad. For the seventh grader, there was the isolation of the lower school. However, the veteran settled down to the rou- tine of school life in no time at all. Free time spent at school was made a little more bearable due to the Student Council ' s addition of a stereo radio to the student lounge. While juniors dreamed of an elusive lunch privilege, seniors could at last legally cut classes and go out to lunch. The latter privilege was extended from once to twice a week during the second semester, despite malicious rumors to the effect that some people were actually lunching out as many as five time s a week! Those seniors enrolled in pass-fail courses were given even more academic freedom.. The addition of Hutchison ladies who were being bused to MUS for Mrs. Carter ' s typing class, new teachers and students, and the realization that one was one year closer to graduation cata- lyzed many students ' interest in school. These aspects combined with the renewed efforts of the publication staffs and the long awaited CBHS encounter on the gridiron gave a dynamic sense of expectation and excitement to school life. iiin ' iilijt 11 Fall Getting Into The School Routine With the beginning of fall, it seemed as if this year ' s student body was more concerned than ever with the curriculum, school policy, student-faculty relations, and school life in general. Not only were those who took the decisive roles in school more active than their predecessors, but also the rank and file became more involved in airing all their likes and dislikes. As is usual, school spirit mani- fested itself most clearly at the athletic contests. Enthusiasm exploded at the CBHS game, the first and biggest crowd-catching game of the year. After being defeated by their arch-rivals the previous season, our football team rallied and defeated the Brothers 13-7. Although following games saw a marked increase in attendance in relation to previous years, many students, either uncon- cerned about sports or feeling them irrelevant to their lives, chose other forms of entertain- ment. While some just stayed at home to watch television or read, others attended such mind-blow- ing concerts as that of Elton John, David Bowie, or the River City Blues Festival. The newspaper took a more opinionated stand this year under the control of Larry Hayward. The annual staff began its pleas for monetary support early, anticipat- ing the usual decline in wide- spread student support. Yet there were still some doubts as to whether the year which had begun excitingly might slowly yield to the insidious workings of apathy, boredom, and the peren- nial senior slump.

Whether one was interested in the game or not, a defeat would have dis- rupted the elaborate festivities planned for later that night. But by the half, it looked as though we might have to settle for a loss. Ten minutes before the horn sounded signaling halftime, the chosen homecoming beauties walked to the far end of the sta- dium. Rita Collie and Scottie Her- ron got into the first car. Gay Jemison and Susan Fleming step- ped into the second, and Joanie Currie and Jill Prichard entered the third car. As the cars slowly motored onto the field, the teams jogged off the playing field into the locker rooms for the usual pep talks. The cars were parked in the center of the stadium, and candidates were unloaded. As uninterested and interested alike watched, the chosen were escorted to their respective spots on the football field. After introducing the young ladies, the emcee announced Susan Fleming as the second runner-up. Rita Collie was then proclaimed the first runner- up. As the applause for the alter- nates died down and the audience anxiously awaited, Joanie Currie became the 1972 Homecoming Queen. Obviously surprised and touched, the senior from West Memphis walked forward with her escort to be crowned and to receive a dozen red roses. As the ladies were driven off the field, some murmured their hearty approval at this year ' s selection. After the game resumed, however, there was no time for disagree- ment. MUS fans were still hoping for a comeback after leaving the half on the losing side. Yet by the fourth quarter, everyone realized that the Wooddale Cardinals had finally taken revenge. Some peo- ple paused in disappointment and regret, but most people looked forward to the next game and the Homecoming dance.

Though these grades didn ' t go on one ' s permanent record, freshmen and seniors aUke wor- ried whether that last test had really hurt or helped their average that much. Everyone was pretty well engrossed in school by this time. Clubs had been established, with such newcomers as the Neutronic Mudpupple and the Cycling Club. Parents were given their chance to go to school when a Back to School Day was sponsored by MUS. While students slept late, parents took their sons sched- ules and attended shortened ver- sions of their classes. Afterward, there were private meetings for each parent and his son ' s teacher to discuss the goals of the course and their prodigy ' s progress and attitude. All was meant to give the adults an accurate idea of what the student went through each day. As election day grew closer, students focused their attentions on the efforts of McGovern and Nixon, with the usual hallway debates. When Lucius Birch and Louis Donelson were asked to take part in a pre-election debate, many politically-minded students expressed approval. Yet after the debate, some students felt the speakers did not represent younger viewpoints. Though these opinions may have been due to the political ignorance of the stu- dents, it cannot be denied that these men shared pohtical convic- tions with many Memphians. With the end of football season, students, faculty, and parents became excited about the invita- tion to the Little Liberty Bowl in Henderson, Tennessee. Unaware of the opposirig team ' s capabilities, many made the trek to the game for the gridiron action. Slowly but surely the Owls pounded their opponents into the frozen ground, resulting in a resounding victory. For their Herculean efforts, Ben Adams was named the Outstand- ing Defensive Player and Mark McGuire was announced as the Outstanding Offensive Player. The paper tried to represent student viewpoints, though many disagreed. The Student Council made improvements despite a general lack of student interest. Even the administration reacted positively to the pervasive air of change. Though there had been the usual setbacks on the athletic fields, in the classroom, and at home, the students and faculty thought this year peculiar. The zeal felt by all at the beginning of the year was not replaced by apa- thy, but exhibited itseit in increased motivation throughout _the„ entire session.

' ' % ,, . ' : ' ' i ., 1 i ii Sf ' W ■1 Dissent! Students Displa As the first half of the year came to a close, some sttidents slowed down, while others refleiwed their efforts. Among the seniors if their slump had not already begun, it soon would do so officially. Mani- fested in a few speeches and news- paper editorials, which were all well- meant efforts to modernize student attitudes and school policies, was the concern of some involved: persons who wanted to keep their school in step with the times. Though none of these met with any immediate suc- cess, they did definitely cause dis ' - ruptions in what was becoming the boring lull of first semester, Many disagreed With the ideas of the origi- nators of these efforts but the heated discussions which resulted revealed that all agreed on at least one point — that everyone is enti- tled to his own opinion. The hilariQus skits presented by Buck Lewis, Kip Caffey, Mack Ray, and Jimmy Overbey relieved student tensions much the same as the jun- ior-senior football game allowed individuals to vent their pent-up wrath through Jfiarmless but aggres- sive physical exertion. As exams loomed on the horizon, students celebrated the approach of Christmas holidays, while realizing that they would soon have to begin studying in earnest. Seniors dreamed of possible second semester exemp- tions. Others joined them in long nights of concentrated cramming. Slowly, one by one, each exam was confronted, until on the last day, one could walk out, jubilantly aban- doning books and cares for three weeks of sleeping and partying. Winter Vietnam War Finally Ends! We didn ' t have a White Christ- mas, but it finally did snow three days after beginning school in January. No one was yet express- ing the usual complaints about having to return to school, but a holiday for sledding was greeted with jubilation by all. The snow quickly melted, however, as is usual in Memphis, and students soon became accustomed to the habitual rain and snow. But bleak weather didn ' t obscure hopes for the basketball team to continue its undefeated record and possibly go to the State Tournament. Students apparently got too much of a good thing and fewer people showed up at the games. Substi- tuting personal activities such as camping and hiking in Shelby Forest or catching up on long- overdue assignments, students deserved the admonishing talks in chapel by various members of the Pep Club. The talks may have been the deciding factor, for the crowds did increase. Chapel programs aroused the usual interest with visits from theologians, psychologists, and financiers. Expounding on such obscure topics as the insertion of photographic probes into the bod- ies ' apertures for internal cinema- tography, many guests actually Opposite page: (top) Eugene Smith, Earle Donelson, and Montgomery Martin in Shelby Forest, (bottom left) Hadley Butler solicits for the March of Dimes, (bottom right) Wayne Gullege reads among the weeds.

The new year witnessed the long-awaited end of the Vietnam War, the advent of school busing in Memphis, and the deaths of Presidents Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson. At MU5, the Civic Service Club took to the streets for its annual March of Dimes drive. Headed by Andy Baker and Cecil Humphreys, the volunteers were relegated to decaying environs of downtown Memphis. MUS students seemed out-of-place among their fellow solicitors, ignored by Cadillac driving entrepreneurs, greeted by many less fortunate. Yet once again MUS received the award for the largest percentage of student participation, getting 102 students to work from 381 enrolled in the Upper School. The soccer team witnessed a lesser degree of enthusiasm. Out- of-town games and those sched- uled at odd times accounted for the meager groups which watched the team enthusiastically. Yet Chris Humphries, Bugsy Korbel, and Gary Garner were among the team members who weren ' t hind- ered by the lack of packed stadi- ums of ego-builders. ■n ..% ' ■ ' J . } Ij Jo V i J.H s « 0M   ' i Theatrics Innovativeness Characterizes Dramatic Activities Dramatic activities began early in the summer with the MUS drama cHnic, under the guidance of Mr. George Elder. Bob Ruch, Cathy Crisler, and Holly Kirby were among the students who studied acting techniques. Experi- menting in such media as panto- mime, the thespians finally per- formed Take Her, She ' s Mine. The comedy about a young girl entering college was produced at Front Street Theatre. The first production of the aca- demic year was a mystery by Agatha Christie, Ten Little Indi- ans. The story centered around ten guests mysteriously invited to a seaside mansion by an unknown host. As each of the ten porcelain figures of Indians fell off the mantelpiece, one of the guests met with death. Taking parts as ill-fated guests were Susan Carr, Dawson Sather, Morris Jones, and Malcolm Pearson. Aided by Sara Smith, Doug Ray, David Reed, Emify Briggs, John Edmonds, and David McDonald, the actors recre- ated the familiar air of mystery and murder on the MUS stage. Immediately after the New Year, students were treated to an unusual change in the second production of the year. Updating Moliere ' s The 1 {lysician in Spite of Himself to the South in the Forties, Mr. Andy Saunders added many present-day facts and events to treat MUS to its first innovative dramatic happening. Actors Kip Caffey, Buck Lewis, Peg Dickinson, and Stephanie Brown performed and passed out favors during the intermission, acts explicable only if seen in per- son. Also taking part in the unu- sual show were John Whitson, Larry Hatchett, Mack Ray, and Beth Williford. Finally, for the last production of the year, Mr. George Elder, Mrs. Jesse Wesbury, Mrs. Martha TomUnson and Mr. Andy Saun- ders united efforts for the usual musical extravaganza. Choosing that old high school favorite. Bye, Bye, Birdie, they auditioned more than sixty people for the jobs of acting, dancing, and singing. Mal- colm Pearson held the male lead, and Wise Jones cinched the role of Conrad Birdie, the rock and roll star who makes the teeny- boppers swoon. Female roles were held by Jane Hutchinson and Cindy Howell. They were aptly supported with the help of Peg Dickinson, Kip Caffey, and Doug Ray, all contributing to make a successful show.

Meeting the East High Mus- tangs, the Buzzards held periodic two point leads for the first half. The students were up for the action, yelling and screaming while equally enthusiastic parents participated. During halftime, the Homecom- ing Court, consisting of Jimpsie Seay, Ellen Crenshaw, and Mary Jehl, was introduced. As the respective girls and their parents nervously awaited, Mary Jehl was proclaimed Second Alternate to the Queen. Jimpsie Seay followed her as the First Alternate. Of course, Ellen Crenshaw then became MUS ' first Basketball Homecoming Queen. As the wave of applause died for the three girls, they moved off the court to be replaced by the teams. As the encounter entered the fourth quarter, nerves were as tight as the score. A constantly tied game resulted in execrations or invocations during the foul shots. Also arduous was the task of trying to keep the frenetic spectators off the court as they hurled numerous vituperations at the opposite side. After the regulation time had ended in a tie, 64 to 64, the play- ers readied themselves for the ensuing physical barrage. Seconds ticked by like minutes as each side hoped for an extra bucket just as the game ended. But the score was tied again as the over- time ended. The added three minutes were even longer, but action went by so fast there was no time to clock- watch. The last minute sped away and East led by two points. In the last seconds, a basket by the Mus- tangs allowed MUS to enter the ranks of the defeated. Yet with a defeat resulting from such a fan- tastic game, no one could be overly depressed for long. 25 26 Opposite page: (top) Mimi Fuller and Janie Adams demonstrate the Elephant ' s Walk for MUS audience, (middle) Varsity Cheer- leaders: (back row) Linda Williford, Mimi Fuller, Russell Price, Cindy Acree, Janie Adams, (front row) Scottie Herron, Co-Captain Dot Dunavant, Rita Collie, Gay Jemison, Captain Jimpsie Seay.

Cheerleaders Varsity Cheerleaders Change Image The cheerleaders at last emerged from their previous existence as an elite corps of half- interested young ladies and acted as their name implies. After hear- ing rumors of the hilarious inca- pability of this year ' s squad, most students were astonished at the first pep rally. Executing a variety of new cheers as well as the gol- den oldies, the girls also per- formed cheers that had been largely introduced by the Pep Club at games. All these improve- ments were due to the long hours of practice put in by the cheer- leaders as well as the leadership of Mrs. Jerry Peters and the deter- mination of Captain Jimpsie Seay. There were occasional mistakes and embarrassments which were soon forgotten amidst the hilarity. The Rah Rahs continued to be a fact in name only. Attired in red uniforms and led by Perry Pid- geon, the girls tended to gather in small groups in the stands. How- ever, this year ' s squad attempted to arouse parental and student support with occasional efforts in I front of the bleachers. But it must ■ be remembered they frequented the games, a fact which many stu- dents and a few cheerleaders could not boast continually. The boy cheerleaders were con- spicuous instigators of all cheering efforts at the games. Dressed in either their traditional white pants and blue shirts or newly-acquired overalls, the boys were often joined by various enthusiastic members of the Pep Club. Their continual spirit was witnessed by all as a reminder to Stand up and cheer! The cheerleaders from the jun- ior high, the Rah Rahs, and the Varsity boy and girl cheerleaders tried harder than in previous years. Though a few boy cheer- leaders were often absent, the support was still present. It was a year of refreshing change and professionalism which greatly contributed to the basketball and football teams ' success. tmmm Procrastination Laziness Predominates As Spring Arrives Procrastination became the major preoccupation as students slowly progressed into the second semester. Seniors were officially in the slump. A few continued valiant academic efforts to their compatriots ' bemusement, but the majority sustained only enough drive to avoid parental and Administrative harassment. Most seniors aloofly retired to the recessed regions of the newly-cre- ated senior lounge to watch T.V. Many became bumper-pool experts, opposing habitue profes- sionals Jim Harrison, Keith Ingram, and Bugsy Korbel. Lower form students thronged the student lounge at all periods of the day, wallowing amongst the decaying food and perfumed air. Many avoided the obnoxious behavior and loudness of the lounge for more remote corners of the campus. Music lovers even brought records to the library to spend free time listening to Steely Dan on the audial system instead of Chopin ' s Etudes. Study halls previously used for homework assignments or even working ahead became periods for sleep, amusement, or last-minute preparations for the next period ' s test. Though free time was often misused, it was a relief not to have to sit for an hour in a study hall when there was no immediate work to be done. The dread disease, procrastina- tion, spread as spring fever over- took all. Books gathered dust and remained free of grafitti as every- one took to the out-of-doors. Talking under trees, daydreaming in class, and playing frisbee in front of the student lounge became common sights. As work was put off at school, more students would be found saving their studies for the early hours of the morning. Some sen- iors even banded together for late-night study sessions, but few benefited intellectually. Though many budgeted their time around favorite T.V. shows, more stu- dents made the academic honor rolls than in the immediately pre- ceding semester. 29 30 Creativity Warm Weather Stimulates Aesthetes Opposite page: (top) The String Ensemble practices during sixth period, (bottom) Bill Phelps fingerpaints during Advanced Placement Art.

As the weather warmed, artisti- cally-minded students took to the out-of-doors to express them- selves. The Applied Art students were often seen, sketch boards in hand, walking from one end of the campus to the other in search of something unique to draw. The Advanced Placement art students, though never very busy, were more confined to the school due to the materials they used for their works of art. Experimenting further with pastels, acrylics, batik, and clay, the pupils prod- uced pictures and models of con- siderable s kill. Spring fever affected even the audially-oriented. Choral music students could be seen lounging on stage while their compatriots practiced select parts of songs. Instructed by Mr. Marsh Hudson, the class sang the Alma Mater in chapel many times, adding a needed boost to the Friday morn- ing singing. Enrolling the largest number of students ever, Mr. Hudson was able to teach the sixty-odd impressarios many aspects of music, both technical and applied. The String Ensemble and the Jazz Band were feverishly practic- ing for the MUS talent show held in the late spring. Relatively new activities to the MUS campus, the groups reached many accom- plished enrollees of the student body. Though art and music organiza- tions became more creative with the impetus of spring, individual students brought guitars, kazoos, and banjos to play outside with friends during the day. The cre- ative arts program had been expanded to reach a greater num- ber of people, but it was not until the advent of warm weather that creativity inspired the whole school. 31 Unusuality Odd Displays Aren t Really That Strange Unusual interests displayed themselves often around the MUS campus. The perpetrators may have been one of the students or the faculty, but their actions met with an ambivalence of attitude. Many narrow-minded people dis- counted the actions as weird. Yet the majority of the school ' s popu- lace was ready to laugh with the weirdos themselves. With the first few chapel skits, it looked as though the authors had been temporarily released from the Tennessee Psychiatric Ward. Ranging in subject matter from a parody of Studio Wres- tling to Flavius Maximus, Private Roman Eye, the skits were only equalled by those performed by cooperative efforts of the thespi- ans. Not soon forgotten will be Dawson Sather ' s sadistic solilo- quies attempting to interest the more blood-thirsty students. There were many people who appeared to outsiders as a little strange. Those who came to know these students, however, realized that they merely chose to express themselves in an unorthodox fashion. John Whitson ' s snakes and visits to the planet Rexxon, many students ' fashion-conscious- ness, and a few teachers ' eccentric behavior managed to get uncalled for reactions from the more ster- eotyped students. Yet there was another class of students who freaked out their compatriots due to their behavior resulting from academic pressure. After immobilizing their brains on a Deaderickan exam, a Perduvian math test, or oh one of Mr. Boelte ' s papers, many students totally abandoned all semblance of sanity. Hysterically jumping up and down while screaming or mumbling absurd and meaning- less sentences, pupils of the rougher courses always managed to pull themselves together after several days of quietly contem- plating their navels. By the last quarter of the year, students had become largely accustomed to these unexpected outbursts and displays. In fact, some even ceased to criticize their supposedly strange friends. It seemed they finally realized that school would be awfully dull if it weren ' t for the students who didn ' t always act as expected.

Enthusiastic interest pumped • new life into a slumping Student Council, rejuvenated a cloistered Pep Club and spawned new clubs of versatile interests. Sacrificing time, school work, even social life, dedicated students proved that this really was the year of the explosion. - 36 Opposite page: (top) Kirby Williams again threatens to move the stereo to the Student Council room if the lounge isn ' t cleaned up.

Organizations Get involved! These two words represent the impact of the fusion of tradition and new enthusiasm at Memphis University School. From the time a student enters these cloistered halls, he is exhorted to become involved in some aspect of extracurricular life at MUS. Usually, he responds with apathetic zeal. However, the 1972-1973 school year, more than any other in recent memory, produced exem- plary levels of responsibility and pride in student activities. The Student Council led the way, in regaining the trust of the Administration by proving its responsibility in the areas of sen- ior privileges, lounge problems, and social events. The pep Club enhanced the school spirit with its numerous chapel skits and cheering. Their fervor did much to foster a greater sense of pride in MUS. The newspaper and annual staffs produced renovated publi- cations through the painstaking efforts which accompanied most organizations on campus. The clubs represented for the first time the true interest of stu- dents. This was exhibited by the formation of new and bizarre clubs. A student found that, in order to be an integral part of MUS. during the 1972-1973 year, he had to Get Involved! 37 Opposite page: (top) Roger Winfrey and John Semmes solicit on Beale Street.

Pep Club Skits Spur Student Spirit Mack Ray: I ' m losing my mind! Buck Lewis: Glad to meet you, Senor Losing My Mind. This and other well-known wit- ticisms spiced the Pep Club skits this year. These skits, along with posters, chapel talks, and thinly- veiled threats, were used by the Pep Club to inspire student body spirit to some of the highest peaks yet. Under the influence of Buck Lewis, the Pep Club was opened for the first time to the entire stu- dent body. The result was a broadened student interest in the club. Following the lead of Lewis and his band, vast cheering hordes outshouted the enemy stands, both at home and away. During football games strange j pieces of Bert ' s on Beale head- gear were surpassed only by the Melrose rhythm cheers emanating from the Pep Club. While the football team kept winning, the Pep Club asked some football players to give a short speech in chapel to keep the spirit high. The season culminated in the three busloads of students who wit- nessed the Owl bowl victory at Henderson, Tenn. After the basketball team had stretched its record to 24-0, spirit reached a fever pitch as the Pep Club journeyed to the dangerous streets of Southaven and even broke down the stands in Jackson with their fervor. Noise often reached Grand Funk proportions (and quality) as the Buzzards con- tinued their winning ways. Spirit reached its high point in the Dis- trict games as MUS clawed its way to the state tournament. The testimony to the Pep Club ' s increased effectiveness in 1973 was the huge crowds which turned out for home and away games. Surely the explosion of ' 73 was never more evident than in the highly successful activities of this year ' s Pep Club. Service Organizations MUS Again Cops March Of Dimes Percent Award Contrary to what many of our peers seem to think, MUS ' rich boys do care. The embodiment of civic concern at MUS is the Civic Service Club. With Presi- dent Andy Baker doing most of the groundwork the muscular members provided the power for six drives. In early September, the club collected books for adults trying to pass their high school equiva- lency tests. Next, the members went to the area around Memphis State to shake cans for the Hemo- philia Foundation. By Turkey Day, the students had faithfully brought enough cans of food to provide a needy family with enough food for several Thanksgivings to come. During Christmas vacation, several members helped a Christ- mas party for the Girls ' Club. Sponsored in conjunction with the Student Council, this party brought some Christmas cheer to girls who might otherv se spend a dismal vacation. On January 27, 102 intrepid MUS students braved the allure- ments and dangers of inner city Memphis. Six hours later they had collected $352.89 for the March of Dimes. During the drive Cecil Humphreys was General Chairman for Memphis and Shelby County, while Andy Baker was TAP day chairman. For the seventh year in a row, MUS cop- ped the Highest Percentage of Students Award. Later in the spring, the club collected money for Muscular Dystrophy. 1973 was a truly active and inspired year for the Civic Service Club. Fired by both traditions and humane concern for others, MUS did much to eradicate their com- munity image of apathy. Another organization which served the community well was the MUS Amateur Radio Club (MU5ARC). The members of the MiJSARC spent a great deal of valuable time handling traffic for nationwide contests. Its members in turn became well-known local radio circles. 39 m Clubs Clubs Attain Modicum Of Bogusness The advent of the 1972-1973 school year saw the fall of the established clubs and the rise of more relevant clubs at MUS. Recent events, like the Fischer- Spassky chess match, sparked these new clubs into existence. It soon became commonplace to see such sigts as: strange crawling things in Coach Elder ' s office, people walking around in wet- suits, and masses of students encircling a chess board in the foyer. The perpetrators of these sights were BOX (Exotic Animals Club), the Scuba Club, the Chess Club, the Cycling Club, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Although all clubs mixed degrees of fun, involvement, and farce, it was discovered, in response to a questionnaire, that some clubs considered themselves more bogus than others. The Ger- ald Govan Fan Club and the George McGovern Club were both examples of the ability of MUS students to simulate credibility. However, this melange of clubs, both spurious and sincere, proved the willingness of this year ' s stu- dent body to take on hard work and responsibility in something that was worthwhile. 40 Opposite page: (left) BOX: Coco Bryn, Scott McGehee, Dolph Belton, Hayden Eldridge, Wayne Gulledge, Sandy Fra- ser, Morris Jones, John Whitson (Presi- dent), David Reed, (middle) Scuba Club: (standing) Mack Ray, Joe Gar- rett, Mr. Al Marques, Arthur Oliver, Milton Schaeffer, Marshall Jemison, Steve Maroda, Randy Thierman, Hay- den Eldridge, Coco Bryn.

For the first time ever the President and Vice-Presi- dent of the Council were not exclusively connected with the football crowd. Thus the tradition of football-dominated councils was broken, and the Council rep- resented a broader cross-section of students. For six months the Student Council fulfilled the promise which it had shown during the spring elections. During the sum- mer, they installed traffic signs, painted the student stands red, installed a stereo in the student lounge, and laid plans for numer- ous dances and a rejuvenated Pep Club. As the new school year began, the Student Council leapt from the starting gate into a whirlwind of activities. Festival of the Dead, Homecoming, and the German- town Victory Dance comprised the most dances ever held in the fall. These dances both attracted large crowds and filled the Stu- dent Council coffers. The Pep Club presented multitudinous skits which whipped school spirit to a fever pitch at football games. In September, Kirby Williams cut the fat from his bureaucracy and established four standing commit- tess to handle all Council work. The Student Council also success- fully waged war for more senior privileges and resurrected an ancient MUS tradition, the Senior Commons Room. This last accom- plishment pleased the seniors immensely. Late in the fall, plans were readied for a basketball homecoming, the first ever at MUS. However, as the second semes- ter began, the dreaded spring slump reared its ugly head. The Council fell into complacency; as meetings became more rare, so did enthusiasm. The students saw less and less of the Pep Club; and Administrative power, as shown in the suddenly short hair of many students, began to move into the vacuum left by the Stu- dent Council. In short, after a fast start, the Student Council tired in the stretch. In retrospect, this year ' s Stu- dent Council probably accom- plished more than any other MUS Student Council in history. Even though they did slack off late in the year, their accomplishments in the sumn er and fall were so impressive that this year ' s Council has earned the title of our best Student Council ever.

Student Council Committees Committees Do The Dirty Work Doing much of the dirty work for the Student Council were the three major committees: Social, Constitution, and Election Com- mittees. These behind-the-scenes workers were the real nioving force behind dances, elections, and the revision of the Constitu- tion. Resulting from the efforts of Kip Caffey and the Social Com- mittee were the five dances of the school year. The Committee ' s main duties were approving the bands, cleaning up before and after dances, and pushing the sale of tickets. Overall, the Social Committee enjoyed a banner year as the sounds of Delta, Montage, M. S. Funk, and Burgundy pounded the walls of Clack Din- ing Hall. The ever-broadening revision of the Constitution has been the eternal duty of the Constitution Committee. This year, after, Mac McCorkle did most of the minor rewriting, the proposed Constitu- tion was finally proposed to the student body. The Committee looked over Paul Jones ' sugges- tions and McCorkle ' s revision; then after adding their own ideas the Constitution was presented to and passed by the Student Coun- cil. The students then approved it, and the Constitution was final- ized. After the disastrous foul-up of last year ' s elections, this year ' s Election Committee took iron- bound charge of electoral proce- dures. Although staggering under the two-week load of Honor Council and Student Council nominations and elections. Kip Caffey and the Committee bore up well. Because of their efforts, the all-important spring elections ran relatively smoothly in 1973. In delegating its authority to committees, the Student Council followed the time-honored tradi- tion of most parliamentary bodies. Without the work of these com- mittees, much of the Student Council work would never have been accomplished. 44 Literary Magazine Good Student Response Boosts Enlarged MUSe Due to the chapel exhortations of Mr. Hatchett, the faculty advi- sor, he and Editor Hal Crenshaw were swamped under approxi- mately 150 student masterpieces. This large student response helped make this year ' s MUSe one of the largest ever printed. Fortunately, the 1973 MUSe, lit- erary outlet for the frustrated stu- dent writers of prose, poetry, and pornography, did not suffer the traditional dearth of staff mem- bers. Mr. Hatchett announced that anyone that showed up for the MUSe staff picture would be included in the staff. To the incre- dulity of Editor Crenshaw, the mass of egotistical students who came to the picture also came to all the staff meetings. The job of judging the students ' efforts fell to this staff. It fell to Hal Crenshaw and his editorial board to decide how to spend the extra money reaped from patrons ' listings. The money was eventually spent on color prints, expensive paper, and a large edition. Because of its increased size, the 1973 MUSe was more representative than past issues. Since this is the primary aim of any scholastic literary mag- azine, the MUSe proved to be one of the more successful to be printed at MUS. 45 Honor Council Reclusive Honor Council Advocates A Utopian Morality theater TeUs Of Trial Thursday morning.

Some light was shed, however, on the nature and methods of the clandestine council cases by an Owl ' s Hoot reporter who tricked the repre- sentatives into trying him on a spurious charge. His resulting arti- cle unleashed the glare of public- ity on the council and its judicial processes, and he gave the student body a never-before-seen look at the reality of what most often seems a mysterious and arcane image. This aperture of insight was quickly sealed, however; the theft of a hamburger from a coach ' s tray was the only other generally known and widely dis- cussed case to emerge from the recesses of the Honor Council courtroom during the year. Even the usual rumors of who was being suspended or expelled failed to surface. In spite of the air of mystery surrounding the Honor Council (or perhaps in part because of it). the 1972-1973 mood of student trust and honesty finally reached great heights. There was incredi- bly little cheating or stealing. A bond of mutual trust developed between students and teachers and among the students them- selves. This trust was demon- strated in relaxation of testing rules (some students were even allowed to take examinations home) and in the freedom of stu- dents to leave valuables around school without fear of theft. MUS is in that small percent- age of educational systems which attempt to instill a sense of integ- rity into the minds of its students. The vehicle for this installation is the Honor Code. Under this code a student pledges not to cheat, steal, or lie. In past years, the Honor Code has been reasonably  effective, as only a few people H violated it each year. However, this year was its finest year ever, and the Honor Council, as the custodian of the honor system, must reap a measure of praise and honor. 46 i This page: (top) Pledging their life, lib- erty, and property in defense of the Honor Code are Honor Council members Wise Jones, Tom Preston, Elmer Stout, Harvey Kay, and Price Morrison, (left) Jim Varner is seen here in a rare appear- ance at the podium.

In late June, four yearbook edi- tors. Ken Smith, Andy Baker, Burt Mays, and Malcolm Pearson, attended the weeklong Annual Seminar at Camp Kanuga, North Carolina. Although enjoying Kanuga ' s six to one girl-boy ratio, the editors occasionally managed to break away to work on the Owl. This week at Kanuga was the turning point of the success of the Annual. The staff came back to school with a changed outlook on yearbooks. This new outlook was eventually translated into an inspired yearbook which ranked among the vanguard in yearbook techniques. 1849 Hours Of Work Produces The Owl 48 Opposite page: (top left) Ellis Haguewood frantically tries to get the editors to meet the deadline, (top middle) Kip Caffey and Buck Lewis are entranced by Mr. Hague- wood, (top right) Business Staff: Bill Phelps, Kenny Kyle, Keith Sellers.

The layout style was changed to the latest technique: magazine layout. This layout presented the copy and pictures in a more dis- tinctive method. The style of copy was changed so that it finally said something. It included editorializ- ing on the school year and fewer stock phrases. As always, the staff encoun- tered problems with finding able typists, calming truculent photog- raphers, battling the darkroom backlog, avoiding Mr. MacQueen after setting off alarms, and over- coming their own indolence and procrastination. The last days before a deadline were always filled with around-the-clock work by everyone, especially photogra phers and the darkroom crew. But eventually the pictures were printed, and the copy was written, the quad-packs were drawn, and everything was mailed. Behold The Journalists . . . 50 The Owl ' s Hoot emerged as one of the most interesting and widely read papers ever produced at MUS. , _ ,. Under the influence of tditor Larry Hayward, some of the most interesting articles in years were produced, among them being the Faculty Tennis Satire, the cheater article, and the Mod Squad Article. Beasley and Bucky Wellford ' s sports page was beefed up enough to quell the threats of the athletes, and Drama coverage was stepped up as interest rose in the dramatic field. Finally, editori- als condemning everything from apathy to inflaming speeches opened the eyes of some people and closed the eyes of others. The Juniors found themselves well acquainted with newspaper work before the year ' s end. Dur- ing the summer. Business Co-Edi- tors, Nathan Bicks and John Edmonds, sold ads. Also, it was not unusual to see Mike Goodwin in the foyer writing an editorial the day after the final deadline Newspaper Wmiam - -jtr.

However, all the articles would eventually filter their way to Hayward or McCorkle and the staff would heave a sigh of relief, while Typ- ing Editor Hal Crenshaw would go to work. One of the attributes of the Owl ' s Hoot was that it was incredibly successful in disrupting the class following the period it was distributed. Students, always eager to see their name in print, pored over each issue closely. The always positive response of the student body to the Owl ' s Hoot was proof of the more interesting character in 1973. The usual deadline chaos not withstanding. Editor Larry Hay- ward and Advisor Mike Deaderick combined to make the Owl ' s Hoot one of the most responsible and interesting newspapers in the Memphis area. 51 Proving to be prime examples of the law of inertia were the 1972-73 Honor Societies at MUS. They were proof of the fact that a body at rest remains at rest until acted upon by an outside force. This year, even though Mr. Rus- sell attempted to get the societies moving, they remained in the same state of inactivity which has characterized them since their founding at MUS. The National Honor Society picks its membership from the all-around elite of the school. A member must possess the redeeming qualities of character. leadership, service, and scholar- ship. The members are selected by a faculty committee on the basis of a sheet turned in by the nominees which asks, among other things, to briefly describe your character. This year seven- teen members were inducted by the Society. Cum Laude is the Phi Beta Kappa of high school. It draws its members from the top 10% of the junior and senior classes. Induc- tion into the society marks a member as being among the intel- lectually gifted of his class.

Honorary Societies Scholarship, Character Distinguish Members Honorary Societies Dedication And Work Bring Honor To Journalists, Thespians Quill and Scroll is composed of those students who have devoted a great deal of time and effort to the various publications of the school. As a result of the stimu- lated interest in publications this year, many members Y ere inducted. The Thespian Society is made up of those students who have chosen to follow the line of work of Thespis. These veteran actors and stage crewmen led the way in producirig the three presentations of the MUS Drama Season. This year, as in every year, the Honor Societies did provide one beneficent function. They pro- vided a means of recognizing and honoring students who showed outstanding talents.

From the quiet of solitary study to the noise of a band practice session, students unlocked their minds and took in the knowledge around them. Thoughts and opin- ions turned into involvement and involvement turned into action in the loose, easy atmosphere. Explosion ' 73 was a state of mind. - , 58 Academics Freedom, Change Mark Atmosphere Academic freedom was both the blessing and the curse of the 520 MUS students. With no assigned study halls in the upper school, there was a great temptation to daydream away all free time. Stu- dents could be seen idly wander- ing the halls, studying, or craftily dodging Coach Cummings while pulling their hair behind their ears and off their collars. Seniors had pass-fail courses to lighten their load, but the harassed jun- iors had to struggle under their heavy burdens. Courses closely mirrored stu- dent interests. The general trend toward the humanities engen- dered an expansion in the Fine Arts department and a tremen- dous increase in the popularity of history and the social sciences. Long gone was the time of the woodworking shop and students staying after school to work on a lab experiment. Intellectual dis- cussions were the pastime of the students and arguments abounded in this election year. Teachers were delighted to enter any dis- cussion if they could be caught before ensconcing themselves in the teachers ' lounge. The entire school quickly reoriented itself with the changing emphasis of the world. Opposite page: (top) Memphis State Jazz Band B tries to blow it out. (middle) Jim Vamer.

In a subject where there is only one right answer to any given problem, stu- dents clawed their ways tooth and nail for the necessary three math credits. Some worked their ways through Algebra I and II, Geome- try, and then Senior Math, while others chose the more difficult route of advanced courses, start- ing with Pre-Algebra and culmi- nating in Calculus. Recognizing the importance of standardized test scores, the math department introduced a new set of texts, including a special Col- lege Board preparatory book in Senior Math. And after having its nose tweaked by low AP Scores last year, the math department solidified the advanced courses by phasing out Independent Study Math and replacing it with a full two semester Calculus course. 60 Opposite page: (top) Ben Adams gets stuck on a Senior Math problem, (bot- tom) Mr. Perdue gets stuck on the same problem.

History Students Sift Dust of Centuries Delving deep into the intellec- tual core of history and discerning its subtleties, exploring its contra- dictions, and rattling skeletons in its closets, the intelligentsia made history its favorite curriculum. Seventh, eighth, and ninth graders received the thorough background required in geogra- phy, history, government and Bible. The electives began in the ninth grade with a study of Ancient and Medieval History and in the tenth with Modern Euro- pean History. Starting for some in the tenth grade, for most in the eleventh, history underwent an awesome metamorphosis. In American His- tory and European History, mountains of outside reading were assigned to enable the stu- dent to fumblingly dissect great philosophies in discussion groups and to comprehend some of the more esoteric lectures. Outside reading, coupled with disgustingly thorough texts and voluminous lecture notes, made instruction so intense and comprehensive, that there were six 4s and 5s on the AP ' s on the one hand, and multi- tudinous fears of failure and anni- hilation on the part of most stu- dents on the other hand. A new Civil War history elec- tive was installed as a companion to Cultural and Intellectual His- tory and Problems in History. Covering not only the factual data, but also the thread of intel- lectual trends through time, MUS ' history department ranked at col- lege level in its quality of instruc- tion. Playing the stock market was a favorite pastime of economics stu- dents. The tycoon amassing the greatest imaginary fortune received a genuine pittance for his labors on Awards Day. 62 63 Foreign Languages Alien Sounds Deciphered Communication between peo- ples was made possible through the efforts of the language depart- ment. In French, the students came to kno w well the agonies of listening to long minutes of taped exercises, the meanings of which were beyond their comprehen- sions. Mrs. Robinson, in conjunc- tion with the tapes, lectured in French to her third-year and fourth-year classes. Beginning with second-year, she also required translations of selected gems of French literature which often contained difficult philo- sophical propositions. Those who sought proficiency in a modern language other than French were not disappointed. The talents of Mr. Mutzi were devoted to cultivating an appreci- ation of Spanish. His assignments involved more frequent transla- tions which taxed the resources of his best scholars, but which ulti- mately promoted a better under- standing of the language. Adding excitement to the third-year were the possibilities opened by the exchange program with Hutchi- son. As always, there were some true intellectuals who found both Spanish and French too utilitarian, and for these worthies the Latin courses filled the bill. Actively fighting the notion that Latin is dead were Mr. Marques and Mrs. Higgs. She, in teaching first-year, imparted to her charges a thorough knowledge of basic grammar. In second-year, Latin aficionadoes under Mr. Marques turned their attentions to the meatier offerings of such works as Caesar ' s Gallic Wars, and nailed down the finer points of the lan- guage.

Usually, the activity centered around Rock ' s room ' but some- times the sounds crashed down the senior hall. The former sounds were completely indescri- bable and were reported to ema- nate from Advanced Band warm- ups, while the latter were identi- fied as roving bands of Choral Music students, crooning as many versions of the same song as there were singers. Advanced Band and AP Music spawned several extra- curricular groups and Choral Music contained the group which lustily led the school in the Alma Mater every Friday. Creating some genuinely good art as well as some candidates for the attic. Applied Art students in both the lower and upper schools painted, drew, and molded mate- rial for several rotating art exhib- its about the school. Art Appreci- ation studied great art of the ages and delved deeper into the study of line, perspective, and style than was possible in Humanities. Impressing and humbling the artistically ignorant was a pastime immensely enjoyed by the art connoisseur, who was simply a graduate of Art Appreciation. Humanities was the catch-all for history, art, philosophy, reli- gion, and anything else relating to man or his existence. The subject matter was rather broad. The course provided a background for any field except nuclear physics and brain surgery, and because of its difficulty, was a favorite pass- fail victim.

The composers ' personal lives were studied as well as their music and style. Chances to upbraid the musically uninformed were less frequent than in art, but were just as satisfying. The style and delivery were important in speech, but the con- tents of the speeches were scruti- nized with great vigilance as stu- dents learned how to stand on their heads, procure prostitutes, and defeat ice, the enemy of man. English Students Taught English Plus To insure a well-rounded edu- cation for all students, English courses were mandatory in grades 7-10. These were intended primar- ily to expose the individual to the basics of English grammar and composition, so essential to the businessman and professional person. The special bane of the 9th and 10th grades was the redoubtable Mechanics of the Sentence, which ultimately honed the literateurs ' abilities to a fine edge. In addition, most classes introduced the scholar to both prose and poetry, as well as the mechanics of the language. Many English teachers, exhibiting their multifaceted interests and fields of knowledge, grounded their charges in historical and social currents which immeasureably contributed to their social insight. In many cases, these same teach- ers even went further in attempt- ing to foster appreciation for art in their classes.

English Electives Break English Blues Generally, by the time a stu- dent reaches his junior year, he has pinned down his interests in English to specific areas. In recog- nition of this fact, the English program provided the opportunity for supreme fulfillment to both juniors and seniors. Through the elective system, each student was able to select the course of his choice. Topics varied from an examination of the influence of the Utopian concept to a survey of English literature, and from the fundamentals of literary criticism to a study of British drama. To prevent ill memory of gram- mar and usage under the influ- ence of these electives stressing literature, the Senior English Review Exercises was added to the curriculum. With its emphasis on preparation for the verbal sections of standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and ACH, it attests to the efforts of the department to assert its relevance. 71 Science Fires Started, Raw Sex Observed Students ' inadvertant endeavors to turn themselves into human torches and to singe their extrem- eties on hot glass did not mar the success of the science experimen- tation program. Armed with Omundson burners, chalk dust, and lascivious fruit flies. Chemis- try, Physics, and Biology students embarked on a course of experi- ments to corroborate classroom instruction. They scrutinized chemical and physical reactions, dabbled in forces and vectors, and shamelessly observed the mating of fruit flies. While the Pure Sciences emphasized experimentation, the Applied Sciences consisted of mostly classroom activities. The studies of ecology, electronics, and the man-made world related sci- ence to practical uses and were in general not as difficult as the Pure Sciences. Eighth grade Physical Science was the introduction to the use of lab equipment, and the ever-dex- trous ninth and tenth graders mastered the use of the slide rule in Physics-Chemistry, while the teacher wielded a large yellow slide rule the size of a diving board to instruct the students and to get his daily exercise. Seventh grade science and Earth Science were survey courses of seventh grade science and Earth science, respectively.

The harrowing, speed- breaker-fraught drive between the two schools was the principal cul- prit, but a detour to a nearby store was also time consuming. The boys attended Applied Art, Latin III and IV, and Spanish III and IV at Hutchison, while the girls partook of Art Appreciation, Music Appreciation, Ecology, Eco- nomics, Humanities, Physics, and Calculus at MUS. The consolida- tion of both schools ' typing classes resulted in the acquisition of Hutchison ' s IBM typewriters to replace the aged manuals previ- ously used and required the bus- ing of forty-three girls, mostly ninth graders from Hutchison to the typing classes at MUS. School Renovations Plastic and Steel Flood School Renovation-mania swept the school at the end of January. After a check with a light meter disclosed that classroom lighting was substandard and after a stu- dent became lost for several hours in a darkened corner, glaring fluorescent lamps were installed. After an adjustment period of several days to let their eyes become accustomed to the lights, students beheld never-before-seen areas of their classrooms, such as ceilings and corners. The grubby appearance of these newly-discov- ered places necessitated the repainting of several rooms, along with a thorough cleaning for the rest of the rooms. The administration finally suc- ceeded in its goal of having all of the classrooms carpeted. And all of the old straight-backed wooden desks, replete with scratched names and ink spots, were scrap- ped for new plastic and steel ones. Over $5,000 was spent on the lec- ture room alone and the total tab for the refurbishing ran $6,100. ' 75 Physical Education Rubbery Legs, Burning Lungs Take Revenge Once a day, four days a week, students treked down to the locker room to dress out for P.E., often foraging in the lost-and- found bin for a stiff, dirty sock or a grimy shirt to complete the uni- form. Then a spontaneous cry of elation or dejection arose accord- ing to the game announced. The assortment of games ran the gamut: football, swimming, track, field events, tennis, volley- ball, soccer, speedball, gym hockey sticks aimed at the shins, were tiring and slightly risky, while others such as ping-pong and shuffleboard were effortless and innocuous. pool and dodging swinging hockey sticks aimed at the shins were tiring and slightly risky, while others such as ping-pong and shuffleboard were effortless and innocuous. All interscholastic athletes were exempt from Physical Education, as were the seniors, who exercised independently and reported to the gym instructor. Physical evalua- tion tests were given to determine the improvement of the students ' wretched physical condition after a year of P.E. A sweating face, rumpled hair, and a shuffling step marked a stu- dent freshly dismissed fr om P.E., with his aching muscles, throb- bing calluses, and enervated body. Unabashed descriptions of bod- ily functions echoing down the halls could only originate in Coach Cummings ' Health class. Teaching the ninth graders how to keep themselves and their bodies out of trouble and how to stay healthy required a good sense of humor, complete frankness, and a king-sized voice to get the point across.

In all phases of athletic endeavor, MUS excelled. The var- sity football record of 8-3 was outmatched only by the impecca- ble performance of the basketball team. Moreover, Owl tracksters exemplified the coalition of ascetic training and self-discipline which not only yields a victorious sea- son, but also molds individual character. .v (%m i •St- S4 ik T 80 Varsity Track Trackmen Boast 4-0 Dual Meet Record The 1972 varsity track team uti- lized strong performances in all phases of track and field to insure an outstanding spring record. The first three contests, all dual meets against Raleigh-Egypt, H ar- ding Academy, and CBHS, were all ignominious defeats for the opponents. The final tallies were 90-32, 95-33, and 87-41, respec- tively. Next, our alma mater hosted the MUS Invitational. The prominence of this meet in the Memphis area is shown by the caliber of the participating teams: Germantown, Messick, Whiteha- ven, Wooddale, East, and MUS. The climax of the Invitational was the final event, the mile relay. A narrow win in this relay gave MUS 46 points, a one point lead over Whitehaven which clenched second place for the Owls. Wood- dale seized first place with 66. In the last dual meet of the season, MUS romped over East 93-35. Traveling to Brownsville, our runners next faced a field of five schools. The Buzzards accumu- lated 66 points, second only to the 83 tally of the Brownsville squad. The last engagement of the year, the District, was also the toughest. There the su perior coaching of Jerry Peters and Spook Shearon became evident. MUS trailed Messick, first place with 44, by only five points. The Owls mag- nificently outmatched the remain- ing eight teams. Ed Crenshaw was the squad ' s greatest asset, totaling 100% points. Tommy Hoehn, who set a new school record of 6-4 in the high jump, ranked second in the scoring. John Young led the dis- tance runners; the fleet-footed sprinters included Gary Garner, Tommy Morgan, and Mike Wag- oner.

Raleigh-Egypt proved to be the toughest con- tender during the spring season, but the Owls readily established their prominence by a 59-44 vic- tory over the Pharaohs. Next, Col- lierville was literally decimated 102-12 by MUS ' s unique coalition of speed and endurance. Pacesetters Price Morrison and Doug Ray displayed their talents as Germantown and Jackson were annihilated 64-46 and 85-28 respectively. A strong showing at the MUS Invitational reaffirmed the Owl ' s mercurian speed.

Coach Larry Shurlds watched the Owls race through a winning streak by twice defeating both Germantown and Bartlett. More- over, White Station, unbeaten and considered the best in the state, was putted aside by Owl links- men. Unfortunately, White Sta- tion frustrated MUS a week later. A quartet of Jack Barksdale, Bo Briggs, Sid Vick, and Jim Causey flawlessly scored first in the Shelby County Invitational. This was the third consecutive victory in this tourney for MUS. After clinching first place at the Regional, our expert golfers placed 5th in the state meet. In addition, Sid Vick won the school tournament with an even par over 72 holes. Varsity Tennis Racketers Sweep Through South Many of the athletic teams at MUS perform exceptionally well against local competition, but the tennis team alone can boast top rating for the entire South. As attested by a 70-0 season. Owl netmen flogged their opponents aside. 8-1 tallies characterized both games against MBA, as was the score at the David Lipscomb engagement. Moreover, the Buz- zards fortified their impeccable record by a series of 3-0 victories in forays with White Station, Bartlett, and Central. Their mettle hardly tested, the Owls clinched first place in the Regional High School Tournament. Seeking more worthy contestants, the squad next journeyed to the Southern High School Tourney in Chattanooga. Out of 16 teams participating, the best in the Sou th, the Owls ranked second. Mac McCorkle led in netting points, followed closely by Larry Richmond. it • ♦ . ►•.., (1st row) Bob Ruch, Bucky Wellford, Tiger Buford, Brent Buck, John Wepfer.

However, this year was very different and very unique, for on September 8, 1972, MUS finally humbled the Broth- ers. Previous defeats to CBHS and the loss of senior veterans engen - dered a spirit of skepticism among many students who were unaware of the varsity ' s long hours of sum- mer practice. However, rigorous training coupled with sound coaching instilled an assurance in the players worthy of the team ' s true ability. All the vehemence and indignation of three agonizing losses coalesced into a mighty breakwater upon which the Pur- ple Wave lashed its fury before subsiding into the depths of defeat. Early in the game, a 7-0 lead was established by Ed Atkin- son ' s touchdown sweep and Rob Jones ' s successful P.A.T. Tension mounted as CBHS scored during the 3rd quarter and a second Owl touchdown was called back. Nonetheless, Frank Crawford cemented an Owl victory 13-6 by receiving a pass. The Owls reaffirmed their grid- iron talent by crushing Dyersburg 37-6. In this conflict, many younger Buzzards demonstrated their proficiency while Ed Atkin- son led the offense. The team ' s mettle was sorely tried during the following three games, all of which were defeats. The Owls controlled the field throughout the Brownsville engagement with a 14 point advantage.

The next loss, 14-0, to highly ranked Covington was expected. The Owl defense was obviously outmatched as Coving- ton continually gained yardage. Even more discouraging was the homecoming game against Wood- dale. MUS simply played poorly and sluggishly as the Chargers clinched a 20-0 victory. Despite the heroic efforts of the Pep Club, a 2-3 record sapped school spirit. Consequently, the Ripley game was a pivotal one which decided both team and school morale during the remain- ing season. Fortunately, MUS rip- ped through Ripley ' s weak defense to return home with a convincing 33-6 victory. Next, Somerville heroically tal- lied 22 points, but was simply outmatched by the Buzzards who amassed 48. Taking to the road, MUS traveled to Jackson. There the weather was more formidable than the opponents. MUS sloshed through the rain and mud for a wet 33-7 conquest. The team continued to strengthen their growing esteem by winning the two remaining regular season games. Bartlett stubbornly fell 14-7. The German- town Devils proved rather pathetic as they were smashed 41- 0. Unexpectedly, MUS was invited to compete in the Little Liberty Bowl. In this gala event, the Owls bucked with Chester County at Henderson. As a fitting denoue- ment for an outstanding year, the Buzzards were victorious, 27-7.

Unfortu- nately, the loss of John Pool to the Varsity disorganized the squad; thus the first two games were defeats. The scores were MUS — Germantown 6, and MUS — Jackson-Tigrett 12. The next game, against Old Hickory, exem- plified the true strength of the Owls. The competition was shut out 38-0. Afterwards, the MUS defense was outmatched by a superior Brownsville unit. The final score read MUS 8 — Brownsville 14. To culminate the season, the last three games were solid victories for the Buzzards. MUS romped over Ripley and Covington 30-0 and 38-0, respec- tively. Millington showed a little more resistance, but was beaten 26-18. Eighth Grade Football Owls Maintain Tradition of Annihilation Paralleling eighth grade teams of the past, the 1972 team crushed its rivals. In the first game of the season with Graceland, Nature proved more formidable than the opponents. The game was played in heavy rain on a 100 yard bog. Nevertheless, Graceland was defeated 14-0. In the Ridgeway conflict, MUS tallied 52 points and magnanimously surrendered 20 points to Ridgeway. The only match played at night was at Har- ding Academy. A bitterly cold night tested the mettle of the Owls as they faced a staunch Har- ding squad. Neither team scored, although both struggled for yard- age. The fifth and final game cap- ped the season with a 48-6 victory over the Galery. Coaches Murphy and Dalton were pleased with the fine support spectators gave the team.

Although plagued by sickness and the loss of experi- enced runners, the team success- fully outmatched local competi- tion and ranked high in three major meets. MUS opened the season by soundly defeating Germantown, the Owls 22, the Devils 43. Our tracksters next faced fourteen other schools in the A.S.U. Invita- tional. There Gary Garner and novice Kenny Kyle ' s finishes, 7th and 11th places respectively, cap- tured a 5th place ribbon. The spartan discipline of Coach Jerry Peters ' fx n runs proved invaluable as competition became stiffer and autumn days became shorter. During the middle of October, the Owls claimed three successive victories in the follow- ing dual meets: MUS 22 — Wooddale 34, MUS 21 — Ger- mantown 42, and MUS 24 — Whitehaven 39. The search for more challenging opponents drew the thinclads to the Tennessee Prep Conference. Among the five schools participat- ing, MUS blistered the course with a superb first place. Stoic training and discipline yielded a continuation of earlier perform- ances at the Regional Meet. There, the Owls secured fourth, the best in MUS history. More- over, Gary Garner, our phenome- nal South African, gutted out a tenth in the TSSAA Tournament in Nashville. Opposite page: (far top left) Kenny Kyle grimaces after exhausting run.

Ranked 5th in Tennessee, the Owls set new school records for the most v ns, 27, the most consecutive wins, 24, and the fewest losses, 2. But tran- scending these honors was the team ' s supreme conquest, the Dis- trict Tournament Championship, a first for MUS. The fusion of long experience, balanced ability, and a solid defense yielded a victory formula which Coach Jerry Peters rigor- ously applied throughout the sea- son. Only granting 42.9 points per opponent, the Owls successfully maintained a 66.1 offensive aver- age while sinking 72% of their freethrows, another school record. The six starters, who had played together for three years, utilized personal familiarity and team affinity in formulating their well-knit 1-3-1 zone defense. This formidable defense, as coordi- nated as a machine but as adapta- ble as an organism, derailed com- petitors who were further har- assed by the frustrating half-court press. During the first third of the season, the Buzzards faced nine teams, whose ability ranged from mediocre Glencliff to staunch Overton. Notable engagements included two wins over White Station and a narrow but ego-flat- tering victory which humbled CBHS. This winning streak trium- phantly propelled the Owls into the East Memphis Holiday Tour- nament. In the tournament duels, MUS handily defeated Harding, Over- ton, and White Station, although the last two contenders once again proved formidable. However, this was but a preview of the deluge of conquests which would make victory seem predestined during the next eight games.

' ' ii l K W N H mi 1 U 98 CMA, Old Hickory, and Wood- dale, all prostrate before Owl superiority, watched Jim Varner, our highest scorer, repeatedly sink the baskets which eventually tal- lied a 13.7 average per game for him. Such overwhelming victories depressed student spirit which had come to accept success as an established precedent during the mid-season doldrums. Nonetheless, the second game of the Tennessee Prep Confer- ence, against BGA, reaffirmed the existence of narrow games in which the Owls exemplified self- confidence under stress. Winning by 5 points, MUS seized another tournament championship. Here Beasley Wellford was named MVP while Tommy Peters contin- ued to lead in assists. A steady revival of school spirit congealed into a dynamic force as our homecoming against East loomed near. MUS agonizingly yielded to the Mustangs 73-77 during an electrifying double- overtime which tragically halted a series of 24 consecutive wins. Although a subsequent victory over tough Raleigh-Egypt uplifted hopes, students and team alike apprehensively awaited the Dis- trict. The stands groaned not under enthusiastic supporters but under a multi-faced leviathan as the squad struggled to uphold its nar- row lead over the Germantown Devils. Winning 67-62, the Buz- zards returned to smash Raleigh Egypt 52-44. Bobby Loeb, whose rebounding was seconded by All- District Charles Ivins, was named MVP for the District. Stuart Col- lier, completing the contingent of six starters, also pumped in valua- ble points. Hoping to wreak vengeance upon East, MUS resolutely attended the Region 7-L Tourna- ment. Despite Jim Varner ' s heroic fourth quarter assault, the Owls were again outmatched by East, 56-51. For his efforts, Jim Varner was named Third Team All-State, First Team All-Memphis, All- Region, and All-District. Never- theless, though disheartening, the East losses could never nullify the 27-2 sweep which this unparal- leled group attained.

The broad spectrum of final scores indicates the wide range of skill manifested by the team ' s competi- tion. First, MUS, totaling 38 points, edged out Whitehaven for a two point victory. The illustrious Owls then romped over White Station 68-28, and in a later game, 63-37. Even more ludicrous were the for- ays with Old Hickory and South- haven. Scarcely able to score. Old Hickory twice fell 76-12 and 78- 11. Southhaven was first casually manhandled 80-23, but the second duel was a little closer, only a 56- 29 conquest. Other contenders, although not unmanageable, proved tougher for the Buzzards. CBHS, barely defeated 34-30, was not fully humbled until their 48-37 rematch. Moreover, the Wooddale Cardinals only grudgingly yielded to MUS 48-41 and 37-29 in two engagements. The three losing games were all close-scoring, nerve-fraying fights. Overton ' s 49-48 win in a second game nullified MUS ' s earlier and more decisive 56-41 tally over the Rebels. Harding also seized laurels with a 40-36 rally. The worst blow of the season was dealt by a pow- erful East team in their 70-59 sweep. Other contests included the Ridgeway and Central battles. These rivals were both soundly battered 72-50 and 60-45, respec- tively. Dextrous ball-handling by the team and taut nerves in the stands characterized the final game with Raleigh-Egypt. The Pharoahs reluctantly yielded 47- 45. Finley Van Brocklin, with an 11.4 point average, received the valuable tutoring of Coach Wat- son, as did Frank Crawford who led in rebounding. Keith Barton, Lee Marshall, Kevin Reed, and Gregg Drew also contributed to the depth and versatility which vaulted the B-Team toward an outstanding performance.

TOO 101 Ninth Grade Owls Sustain Strain Of Narrow Wins Armed with the Varsity ' s half- court press and 1-3-1 defense, the ninth grade basketbal l team over- came its dearth of height and nudged its opposition aside. The squad ' s first loss, during overtime to Germantown, was indicative of the close scores which character- ized successive games. In fact, vic- tory was relinquished by only two points in four engagements: Ger- mantown (twice), Raleigh-Egypt, and Kingsbury. Other hairbreadth conquests, which were triumphs for MUS, included another game with Kingsbury and two bouts with both CBHS and Covington. Moreover, the Owls amply dis- played proficiency by twice soundly defeating Old Hickory, Bartlett, and Brighton by substan- tial margins. Although Coach Tomlinson readily attested to Jay Stockley ' s rebounding aptitude and David Preston ' s prolific scor- ing, much of the Buzzard ' s strength derived from having excellent substitutes available on the bench. 102 Eighth Grade Baby Owls Throttle Adversaries Maintaining a growing tradition of excellent ball-playing, the eighth grade Buzzards were victo- rious in over three-fourths of their seasonal bouts. The team ' s early losses to Little Flower, Graceland, and St. Dominic were later vindi- cated by a winning streak which never abated during the remain- ing season. Although Owl defeats were by moderate margins. Owl conquests often tallied double the opponents ' score. Such was the case in the engagements with St. Louis, Ridgeway, and Colonial. MUS seized slimmer victories while contending with St. Paul and Harding. A second game with St. Dominic yielded a 36-30 Owl victory, thus reaffirming our squad ' s growing cohesiveness. The shooting of point man Courtnay Rudolph was matched by Robert Shemwell ' s numerous rebounds. Coach Mitchell organized an eighth grade B-Team, the first such squad in MUS history, which also boasted an outstanding year. Opposite page: (top) Jay Stockley (ninth) searches for the distant rim.

Germantown first sub- dued MUS 2-3, which was fol- lowed by an equally dismaying loss to Father Ryan, 1-2. A tense fight with Sewanee yielded an inconclusive 3-3 tally. However, the true harbinger of the year was the second game with Germantown. Here the Owls amassed 3 goals against the Dev- ils ' 2. The addition of veteran football players coalesced the squad ' s defense into a formidable barrier. In 9 remaining forays, the opposition was granted only 5 goals. Neither team scored in the indecisive MBA duel, but after- wards Baylor was razed twice, 4-0 and 3-1. Wreaking vengeance, the Buzzards defeated Germantown 2- 0. The loss to McCallie was enacted amid the slime of a rain- soaked Chattanooga. Dismayed by dressing in the parking lot, the Owls again fell to Father Ryan, 1- 2. Two-goal conquests repelled the contingents from CMA and Sewanee. Climatically, CMA was later beat 5-0. Jr. High Soccer Females Succumb To Chauvinists The junior high soccer team, composed more of eighth graders than ninth, tallied a 3-2 record for 1972. Coach Tom Shearon dis- mally watched his squad lose its first match against Evangelical School, 2-0. However, the next game, with St. Mary ' s, succeeded in elevating the team ' s morale despite the rather dubious honor of defeating an all-girls team. Here, the Owls romped over St. Mary ' s damsels 8-0, the most sweeping victory of the year. The following game, with Parkway Village, was a narrow 3-2 con- quest. The Buzzards then pro- ceeded to settle accounts with Evangelical School, which they did by winning 2-0. Ironically, Parkway Village returned to crush MUS 6-2, thus souring hopes for a victorious final game.

During the past year, students, faculty, and administration burst forth with newly acquired school spirit, a greater sense of individuality, and a genuine interest in each other. Students and faculty alike sup- ported all athletic and extracurri- cular school functions. No longer did anyone feel classified as a cer- tain type but all felt free to express themselves in endless varieties of endeavors. The faculty took a genuine interest in their students and were always ready to help with any problems. The stu- dents and faculty no longer felt separated by a barrier of age but both grew up a little and learned from each other. Explosion ' 73 started with all the people affili- ated with MUS and hopefull will continue in the future. « ' ' ' 1 -• '  EJ-jm| WTi , « i «i Seventh Grade Little People Thrive In Disneyland Phillip Adams Newton Allen Eddie Apperson Jim Barton Jeff Bartusch Clay Beach Marc Belz Bob Boals Rand Bouldin Daniel Brown Bill Bruce Kenny Bryant Tiger Buford Chris Clark Don Cockroft John Colmer George Coors Robert Cox Cris Creson Albert Diaz 108 Opposite page: (top) Seventh grade study hall never changes.

They displayed a more fer- vent desire than ever before to acco- modate the students ' wishes, and the student body responded by trying to examine the Administration ' s point of view. Manifested in the relationship between the Student Council and the Administration was more fairness than in previous years. Specifically, at the request of the Council, a more effec- tive, and somewhat more liberal, approach was taken in the regulation of hair length. Further, more responsi- bility for the upkeep of the Lounge devolved upon the Council; student reaction had more than justified this. A milestone in the extension of trust in the student body was the opening of the Senior Commons Room, which had been desired and requested for several years. Organizations were given more chapel time, evidencing greater trust. Grub Day, sponsored by the Pep Club, proved to be a tremendous success. In retrospect, a feeling of respect and admiration for the Administration has come about. Our privileges and responsibilities were enlarged, and our reactions justified in every way the trust placed in us. Lower School Faculty Faculty Shows Human Side The MUS faculty is composed, contrary to popular belief, of real people, and proved so with an outbreak of increased extracur- ricular activity and concern for students ' welfare, to which the students responded. Involve- ment was the faculty ' s key in Explosion ' 73. Mr. Robert Dalton was one of many young faces in the lower school. A modern teacher, he maintained an informal classroom atmosphere and often cracked jokes. However, he steadfastly denies that he is secretly record- ing star Cat Stevens. Stepping in at semester and 142 filling a position is difficult, but Miss Martha Gattis took over as seventh grade English teacher. She spiced up the course and students appreciated her efforts. The great love of art projected by Miss Diana Hatfield encour- aged her students in their efforts. The busy Miss Hatfield also taught study skills and was part- time secretary. An experienced MUS faculty member, Mrs. Betty Higgs was, as always, one of the most efficient ones. Latin and vocabulary teacher, she was a highly- respected member of the lower school community. Mr. Katsutoshi Kanzaki, lower school physical education instruc- tor, could always be seen clown- ing, which made his class a pleas- ure for students. Also, he spent many hours coaching gymnastics and hosting meets.

Faculty members asserted themselves through their functions as coaches, instructors, and advisors, and in lesser ways, such as having favorite teams or peculiar mannerisms. MUS ' own Dallas Cowboys ' freak, Mr. Randall Perkins, taught seventh and eighth grade mathe- matics, and, more importantly, was a friend to his students. A lower school favorite was the witty Mr. Jerry Peters. In addition. Coach Peters produced a fantastic basketball team and several out- standing runners on his cross- country and track teams. The job of assistant ninth-grade football coach was undertaken by Mr. Andy Saunders, seventh and eighth grade science t eacher. Mr. Saunders also directed one of MUS ' plays and designed the sets for all three productions. The much-respected principal of the lower school, Mr. John M. Springfield was also one of the most efficient mathematics teach- ers at MUS. The epitome of organization, he was an integral part of MUS in 1973. A welcome addition to the ath- letic program was Mr. Robert Tomlinson, for in addition to his responsibilities as seventh grade geography teacher, he coached the ninth grade football, basketball, and track teams. 145 Upper School Faculty Varied Personalities Produce Balanced Atmosphere The varied personalities of MUS faculty members gave bal- ance to all phases of school life. Athletic prowess, intellectual strength, and creative ability blended to create the equilibrium of education. Mr. A. Robert Boelte continued to enrich the English department with his courses in Literary Criti- cism, World Literature, and tenth grade English. Also he was in charge of the well-rounded Friday chapel programs and was a friend and mentor to many students. Mrs. Kirk Carter undertook her difficult task as typing teacher quite capably as she handled MUS students and busloads of Hutchison students with equal aplomb. Hair length was regulated by Mr. Herb Cummings who main- tained his sense of humor whether he was coaching football, teaching health and physical edu- cation, cleaning swimming pools, advising the FCA, coaching soccer, or nailing long hairs. One of the busiest men on campus was Mr. Leslie (Skip) Daniel who ran the bookstore, taught the popular economics course and administered to the financial needs of the school, par- ticularly in the area of mainte- nance. One of MUS ' finest history teachers ever, Mr. Michael Dead- erick was a model of intellectual- ity. He served as a member of the Discipline Committee, and was a friend to many upperclassmen. He was always available for advice or discussion and set the school record for chain-smoking. Mr. George Elder, one of the creative personalities on campus, directed school theater. His mag- nificent ten-day starvation diet was the talk of his speech class in the upper school and his Bible and vocabulary courses in the Lower School. 146 Opposite page: (top) Mr. Boelte discusses the many benefits of Boeltonian higher learning, (bottom) Photographer catches Mr. Deaderick in conference and between puffs.

(bottom right) Mr. Kon demonstrates his form on the courts. 148 Upper School Faculty Greater Responsibilities Shouldered As an outstanding English teacher, Mr. Ellis Haguewood undertook the task of faculty advisor to the yearbook staff. Unselfish with his time and gentle but firm in his prodding, Mr. Haguewood helped produce another fine edition of The Owl, and he mastered the Humphrey Bogart technique of speaking without moving his lips. MUS ' world traveler, Mr. Wil- liam Hatchett again enjoyed great popularity among students, though all were shocked by the demise of his credit system. He overcame this trauma, however, and was still effective in prepar- ing young men for university. Among MUS ' best literary critics, he devoted his time to advising the MUSe staff and Quill and Scroll. Developing a strong art and music department was a task Mr. Marsh Hudson put great fervor into. Forming a strong foundation for future development, he related well to his students and estab- lished an appealing classroom air. Mr. George Kon brought new vigor into first year Spanish several years ago. He has also brought new vigor to the tennis and soccer teams. Coach Kon took over head coaching responsibili- ties for the soccer team and has led them to a record-breaking sea- son. A sharp, rhythmic clicking of heels on hallway floors always signaled the approach of Mr. Leigh MacQueen, academic dean and American history teacher. He was open-minded in his position as advisor to the Student Council and also took charge of the new television studio. Because of his genuine concern for the students ' welfare, he was a greatly respected teacher. Mr. Al Marques made a name for himself this year with his flair for chapel programs. Aside from this, Mr. Marques organized a scuba club. His personal warmth allowed him to communicate well with his students, and he was a favorite with everyone. 149 Well-known for his yellow VW with the ten-foot antenna, Mr. Ray McGhee continued in his capacity as MUS ' electronic wiz- ard. He taught many courses and was a guiding spirit of MUSARC, the MUS amateur radio club, which developed a fanatical mem- bership under Mr. McGhee ' s and Mr. Perdue ' s direction. Mr. Tom Mitchell adjusted quickly from junior high to var- sity coach and added much to the team, as well as teaching several Physics courses. Because of his deep voice, he was often the brunt of jokes in skits, but always took them goodnaturedly. In short, Mr. Mitchell was a figure who added a great deal of color to school life.

(bottom right) Coach Mitchell smiles as he thinks of a double tutti-fruitti from the Dairy Dip. taught students first-, second-, and third-year Spanish. One of MUS ' best-dressed teachers, the easygoing Mr. Mutzi was also known for his finesse in class- room decoration. MUS was enriched this year by the addition of Mr. Jerrold Oniundson, an officer retired from the U.S. Navy, who taught chemistry. Mr. Omundson, who is licensed to fly everything from blimps to jets, quickly fit into MUS life and became famous for his white lab coat. The brilliant mind of Mr. George Owen added depth to the mathematics and science depart- ments. As well as teaching several courses, he served as faculty advi- sor to the Honor Council and Fishing Club. MUS ' mathematical mainstay, Mr. Evin Perdue, was a sponsor of MUSARC in addition to teaching five math classes. One of the most colorful personalities on campus, he was often sidetracked by stu- dents to discussions of his war experiences or his intricate grease pencil.

Students responded well to their responsibility of dis- ciplining themselves and learned maturity. The cheerful face of Mrs. Betty Robinson could always be seen enlightening room seventeen. She miraculously combined a mini- mum of discipline with a maxi- mum of effective teaching, a bal- ance all her students appreciated. She also fulfills vast obligations as chairman of the foreign language department. Mr, Jacob Rudolph has long been recognized as an excellent football coach, and justly so. However, Mr. Rudolph is also a capable algebra teacher, con- cerned with academics as well as athletics. A highly effective teacher, Mr. James Russell, was again a favor- ite among students. He also served as advisor to Cum Laude and the National Honor Society, and taught A.P. English. However, his greatest accomplishment was his filmstrip collection, which now ranges from Homeric epics to modern art. A jovial yet effective classroom air was characteristic of Mr. Larry Shurlds. As well as teaching his enjoyable science courses, he ably became MUS ' guidance counselor this year. An added strength of the Eng- lish department was Mr. Norman Thompson, who taught Eliza- bethan drama. The cheerful Mr. Thompson soon won many friends and was always admired for his taste in clothes. Algebra II students will attest to the concern of Mr. D. E. Thorn for his students. Although he had massive amounts of work to do as Assistant Headmaster, the amaz- ing Mr. Thorn spent his Saturdays tutoring students who needed help. A new face in the math depart- ment was Mr. Joel Watson. The friendly Mr. Watson often made jokes during class and enjoyed discussing the Tarns as well as geometry. Also, he coached the B- team to its best season in five years. •MM 153 Service Staffs Gargantuan Tasks Tackled School life was enriched by the contributions of the many individ- uals who made up the school ' s service staffs. These were the groups who cared for all the min- ute details of school life and helped provide a unified, smoothly functioning school. In the office, vast quantities of clerical work would have inun- dated most ordinary people. How- ever, the office staff, consisting of Miss Easum, Mrs. Brugge, and Mrs. Green, dispensed efficiently with their voluminous quantities of work. Securing financial dona- tions was, as ever, a delicate mat- ter, but was ably handled by Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Mayer, and Mrs. Lenz of the development staff. Under the supervision of Mrs. Lenti, 60,000 meals were dis- pensed to hungry students. She, in conjunction with the cafeteria staff, never failed to serve multi- tudes of students with silent ef fi- ciency. The Hull Learning Center, containing numerous educational aids, required expert and constant care. This was provided by Mrs. Hamilton and her assistants, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Huckaba. Because MUS ' s grounds are extensive, care for them had to be unending. Furthermore, the school ' s physical facilities demanded much attention. The abilities of Mr. Yager, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Watson, when coordinated by Mr. Melvin Nic- kell, the supervisor, provided a maintenance staff which was in every way equal to its job. 154 Opposite page: (top) Administrative Office Staff: Mr. Daniel, Mrs. Green, and Miss Easum.

DOWN! Oh, sure. We all know the guy who wasn ' t going to get hooked. He was a real cool cat who could handle the stuff. He told us so hinnself. We ' ve been reading a lot about him for some time — in the newspapers. Once he got caught stealing — he needed more bread for more junk. Then, he got busted for pushing the stuff. Same old story. He needed more and more money to feed his habit. The other day he OD ' d. End of bad trip. Maybe that sounds like a very familiar story. Maybe it ' s some- one you know.
