From a hill several yards east of the school, an unusual view of MUS is pictured. In the glare oi the afternoon sun, Hyde Chapel, the Administration building cupola, and Hyde Library stand out. Oh, man! What a test! Yeah, I know. I just can ' t believe some of those equations he gave us. Can you believe that I studied for two hours and left half of those derivatives blank? Yeah, I know how it is. But it ' s been like this all semester; I ' m used to it by now. Oh, well, who cares? Let ' s go get a Coke. — Senior conversation after second semester test.

Panic after a test, Boredom during some Friday-morning chapels, Disappointment after some games — what was our reaction to these situations? Who Cares? This expression of disappointment, boredom, panic, apathy, and a multitude of other feelings was a phrase that we heard every day in the locker room, the lounge, the classrooms, and the halls. And with the deterioration of the tradiational Buzzard spirit and continuation of the traditional Senior Slump; the more-than-usual losses of the football team, and the fewer than usual issues of the newspaper, some of us began to wonder if many people really did care. But there was nothing to really worry about. For though not everyone cared about all of his classes or the records of our athletic teams, we all cared about the school. Col. Lynn, the faculty, the students, and the courses combined to form both an experience and a community. And though concern for the MUS community was expressed in many different ways, we all cared about MUS and the people who made it up. 1974 was a year for everybody to care about the MUS community. Coach Lawson and Dr. Robinson console Charles Stockley after his career-ending injury received in the Covington game. Who Cares ? For Every Event, Group, or Cause Somebody Cares We iiave to goito the game, everyone ' s gonna be there. or Yeah, I ' m going to Cow Palace Saturday night, just about everybody in the class is coming. — w ell, that ' s the way it was several years ago. But MUS has changed. Cheering at the games was once almost the only way to express our concern for the school. But in 1974, we could show our concern in a variety of ways. Relatively new sports like soccer, baseball, and wrestling allowed almost anyone to play a sport. Three plays a year given by the Dramatics Department gave many of us a chance to appear on stage if we wished. If we wanted to learn how to shoot pictures, the Photography Club would teach us. To qualify for a ham radio Ucense, we sought out the MUSARC for help. In the exciting area of TV work and broadcasting, the TV Crew worked out of their studio in the Library. With the new computer course, we were able to learn the mechanics of controlling an electronic brain. Along with these new areas were the older ones of six established sports, three publications. Student Council, and a multitude of clubs. Truly, Diversity had come to MUS. 1974 was a year for somebody to care in every group, event, or cause. Working carefully, Steve Barton spends long hours on his Art Project. :?P«ia.: , «ift - i • T uNYB MHHnlmimtimm;, fCw .

Some Traditions, Worn Crusades Fade From Interest Do you remember the last time that we really cheered at a chapel pep rally? Or when was the last time that we had a newspaper drive to recycle paper? It has been awhile. Change. It affects all things, including MUS. As the school changed, crusades like the ecology movement of two years ago disappeared. The often-hilarious pep skits were replaced by either colorless presentations or a void. And the political talk and excitement of last year was dropped in the wake of Watergate. As MUS continued to grow, several traditions fell into disuse. The vibrancy of election campaigns has been reduced to boredom. The traditional outlandish behavior of Seniors in their last few weeks was replaced by much more mature attitudes. And with the separation of the Lower School, friendly hazing no longer welcomed seventh-graders to MUS. However, we did not see these changes as a sign of negligence or apathy. We knew that the crusades and traditions which went by-the- board were merely outmoded and no longer served the needs of our character. 1974 was a year for few to care about outmoded crusades and traditions. studying ,rey Sellers, Stanly Rasche study biolf EVENTS Involved. The MUS community is involved in sports, dramatics, artistic expression, jobs, girls, parties, community services, and support at athletic contests. Few students, even at a school as small as MUS, can participate in all the events. The important thing is that there are a wide range of events at MUS to satisfy student needs and interests. From freak to jock each person can find a school activity to which to attach himself and become more a part of the school community. 11 ElfGlN Parties, Birdie, and Graduation Leave Students Reeling Election parties, Bye-Bye Birdie, and the senior ' s anticipation of graduation combined for exciting spirit during the spring. The elections provided the traditional week of mass hysteria and revelry for which it has become famous. Music, candy, and politics were thrown at the students until they could only reel from the shock. Dreary halls were turned into a kaleidoscope of posters. Even SAT ' s were unable to calm the atmosphere as parties continued on the night before the Exam. Bye-Bye Birdie corresponded perfectly with the nostalgia craze which was rapidly gaining popularity. Birdie was one of the best attended plays in MUS history with four sell-outs. Anticipation of graduation gave to seniors a sense of freedom and wistfulness. There was the long- awaited freedom from high school routine and the mystery of college. As their last few weeks ground to a close, seniors cracked down one last time in hopes of pulling grades high enough for exam exemption. Unfortunately, Graduation did not release the rest of the school; and several slow weeks in anticipation of summer passed before Exams were finally over. In the MUS tradition, Charles Stockley offers a final inducement as he campaigns for the office of Secretary. 12 Jf ' .J ' ' Accelerating, Wiley Robinson approaches for pole vault against Hillcrest.

Thinclads Place Second in District Garner, Two Mile Relay Team Rewrite Record Book Compiling an undefeated record in the dual meet and qualifying five runners for the state meet, Coach Peters was pleased with the team for the most part. He felt that while the seniors were the backbone of the team, young people did a good job and enabled us to have depth. Old Hickory was no match for the MUS thinclads as the Owls swept to first place in every event and won the meet 111-15. The level of performance was held down because of the adverse weather conditions. Throughout much of the meet there was rain mixed with hail and high wind. MUS ' superior depth was the deciding factor in their next meet with Messick. The Owls took second j place in every event but two and though Messick took % of the first place points, MUS had enough second and thirds to win 77-51. Three days later the Owls met Hillcrest and with a good overall performance won 98-30. Kenny Kyle ran an exceptional mile run and was clocked at 4:36.8. Gary Garner showed tremendous 880 potential with his 1:58.3 time. With a very good overall performance, the Owl trackmen defeated a strong Overton team 72- 55. Ray ' s 5 ' 10 high jump, Garner ' s school record 49.8 440 time, and Art Fisher ' s 15.4 high hurdles time were outstanding individual performances. Competing along with the Owls in the annual MUS Invitational were Bolton, Collierville, Germantown, and Raleigh-Egypt. Coming out of the field events Germantown held a solid lead with the Owls in second. Raleigh-Egypt, however, totally dominated the running events tallying 91 points to surpass MUS and Germantown, who tied for second with 62 points. 15 Preparing to go over some practice hurdles, Alston Palmer warms up for the District Meet. Showing his shot-put form, Tom Taylor tosses the shot against Hillcrest. Owls Head for State Meet Garner, Kyle, Goodwin, Varner, Collier Qualify for State Meet ' jT he Owls were not too sharp in A. the Memphis Track and Field Classic held at Memphis State. The team placed in only the 4-mile relay, and the 2-mile relay (Varner, Kyle, Collier, and Garner) was the team ' s bright spot with their school record 8:07.5 clocking. In the district 12 competition at Memphis State, MUS finished second with 36 points to East ' s 45. The team took four firsts and several seconds and according to Coach Peters would have won the meet if not for an injury to Art Fisher, who Peters says was a pleasant surprise in the hurdles. Taking firsts for MUS were Ray in the high jump, Jones in the discus, the two-mile relay team, and Gary Garner whose 1:54.5 in the 880 was .1 of a second off the state record, which he was subsequently to break. The Owl runners who qualified next advanced to the West-State Regional held at Whitehaven. Overall the team picked up 12 points, but more importantly qualified several runners for the state meet — Garner and the mile-relay team. Garner thrilled the crowd with his regional record 880 clocking of 1:56.6, and the mile-relay team finished a not too distant second to Hamilton ' s 3:26.3 first place timing. Wooddale finished first in the meet. In the last meet of the season Coach Peters took Garner and his mile-relay team to the state meet in Knoxville. Garner, who outdueled Ervin Sweat, the former state record holder, to win the 880 in 1:52.9, put the finishing touches on his record setting season, which Coach Peters described as the greatest individual performance I ' ve seen by an athlete in my 16 years at MUS. The mile- relay team failed to score. In individual scoring for the track team, Garner led with 56 points followed by Goodwin with 44%. 16 Giving Goodwi Kyle makes a smc relay handoff. ■Essa y Garner Runs State Record 880 MUS ' own track prodigy, Gary Garner, ended his high school track career with his stunning regional and state 880 performances. Earlier in the year, he had set the school ' s 440 dash mark at 49.8 and had been the anchor leg on the school two mile relay team ' s 8:07.5. In the state meet not only did Garner defeat the defending state record holder but, as Coach Peters said, ran about the toughest race possible. He didn ' t try to pass Sweat until the middle of the far straightaway on the last lap. Sweat wasn ' t ready to let him pass at that point, so he forced Gary to run the outside lane all the way down to the last curve. But Gary didn ' t let up. He just wore him down. Coach Peters had said earlier in the year that Garner could probably do the best of anyone on the team in any running event. Peters did not decide on whether he should run the 880 or the 440 until fairly late in the season. In other sports, Gary was all-state in soccer and the school two-mile cross- country record holder. Gary won the respect of all his opponents as a great competitor with his tremendous natural talents. Getting off to a good start, Garner begins his record 440 dash. 17 Knowing the value of practice to good relay exchanges, Scott and Phillips work on the international method.

They never really got off the ground after that. In the next meet against Germantown the baby Owls were again defeated 40-70 and in a triangular meet the next week MUS placed third to second place Raleigh- Egypt and first place Germantown 27-54-61. Running against Germantown in the next meet the Owls dropped another with 54% pts. 1 to Germantown ' s 73%. MUS invited Collierville, Germantown and ' ■ ' Raleigh-Egypt to its invitational and I placed third in this very competitive field. In first place was Germantown with 78 pts., in second place, Raleigh-Egypt with 53y3, MUS with 45%, and in fourth Collierville with 38% pts. Though losing every meet, the Junior High had some outstanding individual performances. John Pool and Bill Mathieu set the Junior High 220 record at 25 seconds, and Chip Forrester bettered the old mile run mark 5:09.2 with a 5:04.6. John Pool led all scorers with 34 pts.

Some examples of the Golf team ' s strength are found in the typical margin of strokes in most matches. Against Collierville the margin was 47 strokes; in a match with Millington, 37 strokes; and in a match with Germantown, an impressive 97 strokes. Eight different players participated in the matches showing the Owl ' s superior depth. When Coach Shurlds said that the team had the potential to go a long way and that he believed that we had the top team in the city, he was proven correct on both accounts. The Owl golfers were regional champions by ten strokes, with Vick taking honors with a 72. Next, travelling to Nashville for the state tournament, the Owl linkmen took fifth place. Bo Briggs was the recipient of the Condon golf trophy, defeating Vick by seven strokes in the school ' s owm tournament. blasting from the sand, Bo Griggs keeps limself in front for the Condon Trophy.

Tennis Team Falters in State McCorkle Leads Netmen to Regional Victory Acclaimed by many as the best tennis team to ever play at MUS, the netmen were bolstered by several state-ranked players. As the season approached, many observers picked the Ow ls to win the state. Though overw helming many of their opponents in the less important tournaments of the year, the tennis team performed poorly in some of the larger tournaments. The team began in convincing fashion by burying MBA 9-0. They were almost equally as quick to disappoint, however, by finishing a lackluster third in the Southern Rotary Tournament. Sam Blair and Beasley Wellford were the only bright spots as they won their singles divisions. Beginning its quest for supremacy in the Memphis areas, the tennis team trounced Central and White Station 4-0, 6-0. Taking to the road again, the racqueteers escaped Mountain Brook Academy 5-4. John Wepfer turned an excellent performance in singles. The team next saw action at their regional tournament where McCorkle won the singles and teamed with Blair to win the doubles to pace the Owls to easy conquest. The season ended on a discordant note as the team advanced to the state tournament and was disappointingly beaten. McCorkle and Blair advanced to the semi-finals in the state doubles competition only to lose to Wesley Cash and Pem Guerry of Baylor.

Day Camp, Football Clinic, Basketball Clinic, yard-boy crew, and Summer School offered students unique job and educational opportunities while keeping the massive school facilities from remaining idle. The athletic camps were all staffed with MUS student counselors who received valuable coaching experience and extra summer cash. Fast growing grass provided an eternal task for the MUS yard-boy crew employed to ease the pressure on the normal working staff. In the educational field, Summer School continued to become an increasingly popular way for some students to ax such hard courses as American History without the distractions of the regular school year. Others came simply to prevent total dissolution during the free months. Summertime at MUS helped fulfill a variety of student needs. 24 Workers labor in hot sun to repair sunken pavement in the gym parking lot.

The most time-consuming project was the addition of central air-conditioning. A metal worker ' s strike slowed completion of installation and made large sheets of glistening steel familiar objects. Also, the science labs had all new pipes installed which required extensive excavation through wood and concrete. Repairing the sinking pavement in the student parking lot was the last repair job which ended a hectic summer of reconstruction. 25 Gary Reynolds swings and misses in MUS ' s 4 3 victory over Ridgeway.

Slamming a serve, Walker Sims plays a leisurely game of tennis at Malcolm Pearson ' s estate. 28 Ranging from the confines of the neighborhood McDonald ' s to the mysterious English country-side, summer activities for students included a wide range of experience. Food dispensaries, construction sites, farms, and warehouses all provided employment for students eager to rake in the lettuce of life. Other events broadened cultural rather than financial horizons. Such an event was Mr. Hatchett ' s traditional European tour. Also, annual members sought preparation for the coming year ' s work at an Annual Camp held in Kanuga, N.C. Aside from the preceding activities, normal pastimes such as lounging n ' gi rl watching at club pools, playing tennis, reading, and attending concerts claimed large amounts of leisure time. Earning summer money at the McDonald ' s on Poplar, John Whitson jots down the familiar order of a Mac, fries, and a shake.

With mountains of newly purchased books under arm, students reflected momentarily on the prospects of the coming year. New students were treated to a highly organized orientation program. School tradition and policy were discussed by both the Student and Honor Councils. All new students were invited afterwards to a swimming and dinner party sponsored by the Student Council. Before a routine monotony could settle, the Student Council began Freshman Initiation Week. The fun- loving constructive attitude in which the activity was conducted prevented it from becoming an anxiety for the administration. The enthusiastic response that greeted this newly created event promised to make it a part of a New MUS Tradition. Spirit ran high as the CBHS Football Game and Victory Dance, the year ' s first social event, approached. Players on both teams had been snarling about the game all summer. A large but relatively quiet MUS crowd was drowned by the cheers of an even larger CBHS group. Similarly the football team was drowned in a 20 to nothing defeat highlighted by two long TD passes. Dejected students plodded to the dance as the early year exuberance faded. Participating in fAe initiation festivities, tennis Rasche carts an unidentified freshman o an untimely demise in the holly bushes. 31 Student Council Most Active Ever Spearheaded by President Ben Adams, the Student Council soared to new heights. Working under the principle of more action and less protocol, the Student Council performed effectively, yet tolerantly. The Student Council took responsibility for several jobs which the Administration had previous controlled. At the beginning of the year, the Council started a new orientation program, making sure that every new student was acquainted with school life. A new hair-length policy was enacted such that the CouncU was given the job of enforcing it. This policy was met with huge success. After some disciplinary problems, the Council was able to secure full responsibility for the Senior Lunch Privilege. In short, the Student Council took what had formerly been problems, and turned them into effective and integral aspects of life at MUS. In the area of money-making ventures, the Council sponsored a car wash, a program of selling hats, horns, and cokes at games, the innovative Colgate-Palmolive drive, and the dances. Although student response to some of these activities was disappointing, the Council still managed to earn enough money for a great spring formal. The Student Council took it upon themselves to collect money for the Goodfellows and Mile o ' Dimes, and to revise both the student handbook and the point system. The point system was effectively redone, with the objective of getting the students involved in school activities. The Council introduced many new programs which dealt with the wide range of interests of the student body. Among these new programs was donkey basketball, which gave many students a time of hilarious entertainment. Catering to the various interests of the student body, the Council sponsored a tennis tournament, a ping-pong tournament, a chess tournament, and a long-awaited intramural basketball program. The Student Council also sponsored Turkey Day, which included the annual Turkey Trot, and the Turkey Bowl, otherwise known as the Faculty-Senior Game, during which Trey Ruch was crowned Turkey Queen. Also on the list of fun, Council- sponsored activities were the monthly film series, Grub Day, the talent show, the perennial dances, and the newly-sponsored Freshman Initiations — a time of threats, commands, and fun for Seniors. The use of open Chapel meetings, in which all students were given a chance to express their views, along with the suggestion box in the west hall, exemplified the Council ' s efforts to bring the school government to the students. For the first time in MUS history, the Student Council never slacked, attempting to keep its goal of one new activity per week. It took more action, affected more students, and did more for MUS life than any student group has ever done. f Jit o ' • ' o™ ' ' - Seafed; Dale Wells, David Preston, Walker Sims, Charles Stockley, Jimi Overbey, Bucky Wellford, Stilly McFadden, John Wepfer, and Kenny p.yie. i.fai3ding; Russell Deaton, John Phillips, Frank Crawford.

Each headed by Mack Ray, they regulated the more perfunctory Council actions. The Social Committee again took charge of the dances, w hich were all successes. Members sacrificed their owm pleasures to do such tasks as stamp the hands of those w ho had bought dance tickets and clean before and after the dances. The Constitution Committee did its job of recommending needed constitutional changes early, finishing its job in the same month which the Student Council took office. The Election Committee took its big responsibilities during Election Week. Its activities ranged from running the Red and Blue conventions to counting the final votes in the Student Council elections. 35 en ► ■ o ST ° 9 Si CO w « S -§ G to C J S- S a 1 2.  • t ■ c -—« t ' ' . i l -s s ■  5 C 5 r o o J C ) _y C CC ' ' ' ' ' o o o o CD S P N« X CD W rH- - CD O $m ' k- ■ ' W« ' ' =K ' W« iSHR??r.5 to. ■ « « ja .

Of course there was the difficult schedule (one of our opponents was 10-1; two were 9-1; two were 8-2; and one was 7-3) and some questionable calls, such as in the Jackson game, but these cannot explain away the Old Hickory game, a game which the Owls were expected to win handily. Coach Rudolph had said before the season began that the team could just as easily lose them all as win them all. As it turned out we were an ambiguous 4-6. The first game was a disappointment in itself. No one on the football team would have beheved CBHS to be 20 points better than the Owls. There were key breakdowns in the Owl secondary, and on top of that, the Owls could not convert their over 200 yards total offense into a single touchdown. Perhaps the high point of the Owl year was its 19-6 defeat of top-ten- ranked Dyersburg. MUS exploded for three touchdowns in the second half — two on passes from Pool to Bolton and another by Bolton on the end around. The Owls continued their winning ways in the next game — a 13-6 win over perennial Big Ten power Brownsville. A Pool to Bolton pass and a punt return by Steve Rudolph accounted for the Owl scores. MUS was completely derailed by their old nemesis Covington. An Upshaw to Bolton pass was the lone Owl tally against the Chargers ' 27. John Pool rifles a rollout pass against Millington. After Ben dams ' tackle, Mark Ruleman and Steve Rudolph go for a Brownsville fumble. 38 After picking up good yardage on the trap play, Mike Goodwin is downed deep in the Covington secondary. Huddling Owls await for Coach Rudolph to send in a play gainst Millington. FOOTBALL 39 Holding Bartlett to short yardage, Jay Stockley and Steve Rudolph prevent a first down.

Rasche, Upshaw, Pool, and Bolton each scored touchdowns as the offense had their best night of the year thus far. The Old Hickory game began a three game losing streak as MUS suffered its most disappointing and demoralizing defeat of the season. The game was characterized by Owl mistakes and Old Hickory ' s capitalizing on those mistakes. Jeff Upshaw sneaked in the Owls ' s lone TD. In the team ' s homecoming game with Ripley nothing went particularly well. Star split-end- linebacker Bruce Bolton and senior tackle-linebacker Ben Adams both suffered separated shoulders, which, combined with Ripley ' s inspired play and Owl mistakes, made homecoming a stinging 18-13 loss. Against Jackson the undermanned Owls played what might have been their most inspired game of the season. Only a controversially judged fourth-quarter fourth-dowm touchdown gave state-ranked fackson the win. j¥ .2-f ' 71 j% .Se ::sj- ,.77.- 11 =;40=8C 3l. 7 8C72 Varsity Football Team: Front Row: David Rube, Mike Goodwin, Brett Bonner, Gary Brown, Steve Rudolph, Tom Dolinak, Jeff Upshaw, Dennis Rasche, Frank Crawford, Tom Preston, John Lammons, Mark Ruleman, Ben Adams.

Coach Rudolph even got the chance to play all of his younger boys in this one. Ending the season was a thriller with fourth quarter heroics almost salvaging what had looked like a one-sided contest. With Bartlett leading 21-0, Mike Goodwin burst for a 14 yard TD and a little later John Pool did likewise from the one. MUS never got the ball back and the score remained at 21-15 . Though the Owls had their first losing season in eleven years, there were some excellent individual performances. Tom Preston did a good job as placekicker, while Steve Rudolph did an outstanding job at linebacker. Mike Goodwin was the Owls ' leading rusher with 756 yards in 125 attempts for a 6.0 yards-per- carry average. Coach Rudolph pointed out that Adams, Dolinak, Brown, and Ruleman did a good job in the offensive line, with the most yardage coming behind Ruleman, while Bolton, Dolinak, Rudolph, and Ruleman were standouts on defense.

We played as a team, worked as a team, and won as a team. Togetherness and oneness was a key to success, praised Coach Smith. Because of a fumble in their own end-zone, the Baby Owls lost their first game 12-6. The Owlets displayed a strong running attack and a tight defense. With 400 yards total offense, MUS walked over Old Hickory Academy 56-6. The Generals were held to only three first downs. In the next game, the Baby Owls trounced Tennessee Academy 60-0 and followed that up with a 20-0 win over Brownsville in the next game. Both of these contests showed the Owls ' offensive and defensive strength. Now sporting a 3-1 record, the freshmen ' s next assault was against Ripley as the offense exploded in the second half to give the Owls a 28 to 14 win. In an unscheduled game, the freshmen met and defeated cross- towm rival Harding Academy 12-0. The fledgling Owls again combined defense with a strong running attack to win. In the finale against undefeated Covington, the Owl defense was in Coach Smith ' s words: Super. The defense handed the offense all the opportunity it needed by intercepting a pass and recovering a fumble. The final score was MUS 20, Covington 6. Though it was a team effort, Coach Smith singled out some outstanding performers in captains Chuck Chambers and Conrad McCrary, who picked up 850 yards rushing in seven games. Courtnay Rudolph provided leadership at quarterback. The Baby Owls averaged 29 points a game to their opponents 6. 45 Eighth Grade Places Second in YMCA League Eighth Graders Have Five All-Stars Finishing with a 7-2 record, the eighth grade football team placed second in the Capital Division of the Mason YMCA League. The first two games of the season were easy wins over Auburndale (36- 0) and Briarcrest (18-0). The third game was much closer with the Owls taking a 22-20 overtime decision against Raleigh-Egypt. Durant Fleming played an outstanding game and scored the winning conversion. Next, the eighth graders played Ridgeway and won 18-0 in a game highlighted by several long runs by Skipper Pridgen. In the next game, MUS met the league ' s other undefeated team. Colonial; and plagued by turnovers and penalties, they lost as Colonial scored twice in the last two minutes to win 14-0. The letdown the following week was evident as MUS played unemotionally against Wooddale, losing 14-0. The team came on strong in the last two games of the season with a 14-6 victory over Richland and a 14-12 playoff win over Raleigh- Egypt to take sole possession of second place. The season finale was an impressive 26-16 win over Briarcrest in the game between the two second place teams of each division. Skipper Pridgen, Durant Fleming, Steve Thomas, Mike Holt, and Bill Townsend were chosen for the All Star team. Coaches Dalton and Perkins felt the team was characterized by an exceptionally strong defense and an offense that played well when it did not make careless mistakes.

Facing a huge membership, the club elected an Executive Board which took over most of the responsibilities, which included long hours of preparing skits, posters, and caravans. Due to a build in spirit, many students rallied to the out-of- town games. The climax of spirit was probably the week of the Covington game, when students witnessed an effigy hanging of a Covington player. Pep skits continued to entertain the student body, and no one could forget the antics of the Marching Buzzards who appeared annually at halftime, with their world-famous circle formation. But the club became less active as basketball season began, and spirit lagged due to the increased work load and exams. P Club Executive Board: Center: Mike Neely (President). Standing: Matt Olsen.

The Pep Club prepared by hanging posters and promoting the first Chapel skit in several weeks. To complete the event the Student Council promised the band, Good Gracious, would be unreal. A large crowd turned out and watched, but Ripley led 6-O.as the Halftime festivities were about to ! begin. The Homecoming Court of [Cindy Acree, Janie Adams, Christy iBuchignani, Mimi Fuller, Kay Cockroft, and Sharon Russell toured the field in the traditional convertibles amid a chorus of cheers from both stands. Shaking with expectation, each girl was escorted to her position on the field to await the loud speaker ' s pronouncement. Sharon Russell and Kay Cockroft were named first and second alternates. Finally, Mike Neely crowned Cindy Acree while he gave her a dozen red roses and a kiss. Feeling the nearness of losing to oach Cummings, the Owls came back ivith an early third quarter TD which jparked hopes of a victory. But Ripley charged back with two more scores to ce the game and cool spirits.

Touring the field in a fleet of convertibles, the Homecoming Court of Sharon Russell, Kay Cockroft, Christy Buchignani, Janie Adams, Mimi Fuller, and Cindy Acree proffer smiles and waves to an admiring audience. 49 I Life The absence of fraternities and the disintegration of such organizations as the Silver Cadillac Society left MUS night life with an extremely individualistc character. The week-end activities of the more extroverted students included late- night dining at Memphis ' classier night spots, good ole cruisin, and watching movies with dates or just the gang. Formals and concerts provided more structured night time entertainment for those with the rambling urge. However, many students also enjoyed quiet evenings at home, while listening to the stereo, viewing the tube, and occasionally reading an outside book. Of course, no student would fit into any neat category because of the diverse character of individual personality. But more importantly, each student was able to engage in the night life which suited him best free from the restrictions and social pressures exerted by secret societies and fraternities. Attendance at athletic events united more students of diverse interest than any other form of entertainment. Sports drew audiences with character variations ranging from the radical chic of an Avery Lackner to the aristocratic difference of a Malcolm Pearson. Thus, night life exhibited an individualistic flair and a touch of school spirit. Amidst the excitement of a close bucket game, Ben Adams takes a time out for an important conference with Cindy Acree. Rockin ' to the sounds of such great bands as Zider Z was a favorite night life pastime. 50 Enjoying a brief rest at their table, Warren Barry and Anne McCormick celebrate the Holiday Season at the Chez Nous formal. Bright lights, games, and entertainment await older MUS students at Overton Square. 51 Essay hortages, shortages, shortages. As Watergate receded from the news media, a new problem called The Energy Crisis faced students. When petroleum became short, so did plastic products; suddenly, it was fashionable to have a shortage, and everything from mustard to toilet paper was in short supply. How real were the shortages? The Mid-South area and Memphis in particular, seemed to be relatively unaffected by the great national shortage. Gasoline was always available, even at high prices; and if the meat supply was low, it was most likely because the suppliers were waiting for the price-per-pound to go up. At any rate, there were no fuel panics here, as in some Northern cities. Even though there were no real shortages impending, students did feel some backwash: Mrs. Lenti rarely served chicken anymore; the McDonald hamburger rose from 20(1; to 30(1;; the Hershey bar increased a nickel; the cost of gasoline, which often was over 50c gal. took more out of the student budget. President Nixon ' s appeal to the nation affected students: we found ourselves getting up in the dark hours of the morning due to daylight savings time; speed limits were lowered to 55 in most states; and some thermostats were turned down to 68 degrees. Food prices, which had been steadily on the upgrade, skyrocketed during the late months of 1973. Gas rationing, which had already begun in Hawaii in late January, was imminent throughout the rest of the nation. Rationing would mean a big change, especially to students under 18 and people who lived long distances from school. Even though we did not feel shortages of panic proportions, there were many indirect effects on students and their environment. Self-seri crunch, Rule fact. Short Supplies Affect Students ' Pockets Gasoline, if available, was quite expensive despite the high profits of oil companies.

Cross Country Team Goes to State Meet Team Finishes Eighth in State; Hunt and Kyle Among Top Fifteen MUS MUS MUS Cross Country 1973 Eighth in State 23 34 Harding 29 26 Ridgeway 34 22 Raleigh-Egypt Third in MUS Invitational First in ASU Invitational Fourth in Memphis Classic First in TPC Invitational Third in Regional Eighth in State U A t one time we weren ' t performing as I felt we could, but in the last month of the season we came on strong. This remark by Cross Country Coach Jerry Peters captured the tone of the season. Miles of hot North Carolina paths began the season as runners attended a cross country camp for two weeks during late August. In superb shape by their first meet, the MUS Invitational, the Owls placed third out of ten teams. Raleigh-Egypt and Ridgeway were the only teams to out-distance the Owls as Kenny Kyle in fifth place was MUS ' s top finisher. The Memphis Classic at Southwestern was the next big meet of the year. MUS placed fourth in a field of 21. The consistent Kyle was again the top runner for MUS with a sixth- place finish. One of the highlights of the season was the Cross Country team ' s first place showing at the Arkansas State Invitational. Traveling to Jonesboro to face nine other teams, MUS depended on the 1-2 finish of improving Cliff Hunt and Kenny Kyle and the eighth-place finish of Alston Palmer. Also running were Rene Bourgoyne in 20th place and Richard Ashley in 29th. Another big victory came in the Tennessee Prep Conference jneet with MUS runners in second through eighth places. The order of Owl finishers was Hunt second, Kyle third. Palmer fourth, Bourgoyne fifth, Wiygul sixth, Ruleman seventh, and K. Sellers eighth. The state meet became the cross country team ' s goal as the regional loomed ahead. In the 25 team regional meet, MUS placed third and qualified for the State Meet — the first time an MUS Cross Country Team had ever qualified. Kyle was sixth in the Region and Hunt eighth. The State Meet was a great culmination to a fine season with MUS finishing eighth. Hunt placed seventh with a school record of 15:36. Also in the top fifteen for the Owls was Kyle in 13th. Overall, it was one of the most successful Cross Country seasons in MUS history; and with six of the top seven runners returning, Coach Peters felt that better things are possibly to come. 54 CROSS COUNTRY c Loosening his legs, Chris Humphries prepares himself for the Harding meet.

Religious talks with such unusual titles as The Year of the Lemon were interspersed with such entertainment bonanzas as the replays of the NCAA Finals between Memphis State and UCLA. New cultural heights were reached with performances by the Memphis Little Symphony and the Ballet Society. Prominent men from the community such as Bill Wilson from the International Banking Department at First National continued to provide brief glimpses into the cruel world of economics and banking. By contrast, the light carnival atmosphere of Pep rallies and skits provided a needed break from daily school worries. In addition, several new features adorned the Monday and Wednesday assemblies. With Coach Rudolph ' s weekly star of the game announcements, Monday Chapel became the gridiron hero ' s step into the lime light. In hopes of reforming the traditionally poor singing habits of the students, Mr. Marques transformed Wednesday chapel into a twenty-minute crash course in choral music. A host of run-over chapels occurred because of a plethora of small but necessary announcements. These announcements were one manifestation of the increasingly more complex administrative problems created by an ever- expanding student body. This year ' s problems demonstrated the necessity of finding more efficient ways of disseminating bureaucratic information if Chapel is to retain its brevity and its interesting character. Special performances were given by the faculty chorus and Miss Green ' s Latin classes prior to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays respectively. The instigators of these performances cared enough to work hard to entertain others, and their efforts certainly succeeded in conveying the cheer of the season by adding a little pageantry and spectacle to the routine. Tiger center Wes Westfall readily acknowledges Bill Walton as the toughest big man that he has ever guarded. Classical music played by the Memphis Little Symphony adds a touch of culture to Chapel. 56 Leaping and screaming, the cheerleaders attempt to motivate the student body. Absorbed in thought, Ben Adams and Coach Rudolph sit gloomily upon the stage during Monday morning Chapel. 57 After penetrating fhe Tennessee Academy defense, Kevin Reed runs into trouble from a persistent defender.

BUCKETS 58 Inexperience Hampers Youthful Cagers Owls Clinch Tennessee Prep Conference Championship, Journey to Regional Summing up the 16-10 performance of his varsity Owls, Coach Peters stressed the inexperience of the predominantly young team which had lost last year ' s top six players to graduation, Considering the fact that we returned no experienced players from last year ' s squad, I think that this year ' s team developed into a good, very competitive basketball team — very competitive against all competition. Coach Peters also pointed out other accomplishments of this year ' s team such as being champions of the Tennessee Prep Conference Tournament; placing second in the District Tournament, which qualified the Owls for the Regional Tournament for an amazing seventh time in the last ten years; and beating teams such as Overton, Harding, Wooddale, CBHS, Germantown, and even Shelby County League champions Bartlett. When asked the reason for the success of his squad, Peters commented, The main reason for our success was balance. We had ten guys who at one time or another set the pace for certain key wins. For the season ' s opener, the Owls lost a heartbreaker to White Station, 61-63, with Van Brocklin and Morrison netting 17 and 16 points respectively. The Owls swept the next two games, 39-30 over Overton and 63-57 over Harding with a balanced attack. Their record was then evened by a close 54-56 loss to Wooddale. Finley Van Brocklin gets an uncontested two points against Tennessee Academy. Preparing to engulf a CBHS forward, the Owl five sport their aggressive defense. 59 Surging Owls Outduel Germantown For Runner-up Spot in District Van Brocklin Captures All-District Honors The Wooddale loss was followed by four straight wins over Ridgeway 66-43, Old Hickory 76-22, Wooddale 54-46, and CBHS 57-39. Outstanding performers during that spurt were Lee Marshall with 7 steals against Ridgeway; Kevin Reed with 18 points against Old Hickory; and Price Morrison with 19 points, 15 rebounds against Old Hickory, and 21 points, 16 rebounds against Wooddale. Losing their next two matches 38-46 to White Station and 43-45 to CBHS, the Owls were led in scoring by Van Brocklin who netted 17 and then 19 in the losing efforts. In the following 58-49 win over Harding, Kevin Reed hit his season high of 21 points. Losers to Germantown 59-68 in their next outing, the Owls bounced back with a big win over Bartlett 43-42 to push their record to 8-5. CMA was the next victim in a 63-35 conquest which saw 3 Owl cagers hit double figures (Van Brocklin 10, Morrison 12, Reed 15). After a very lackluster loss to Bartlett in the next game 38- 46, the Owls came into their own for five consecutive wins over Old Hickory 75-40, Tennessee Academy 51-26, CMA 51-41, Harding 60-54, and Tennessee Academy again 59-42. Standouts during the win streak were Morrison with 14 points and 12 rebounds against CM A, Crawford with 20 points against Harding, and Tom Preston with 16 against Tennessee Academy. The Owls dropped the next two against Germantown 46-61 and Harding 46- Huddling around Coach Peters during a time- out, the Owls are instructed to go into a half- court press against CMA. During the Homecoming game, Frank Crawford takes his favorite side shot against Tennessee Academy. 48 with one of the few bright spots being Morrison ' s 21 points against Harding. Crawford with 16 points, 12 rebounds and Van Brocklin with 17 points led the Owls to a win in the regular season finale against Overton 63-57. Being paired with a Germantown team which had already beaten them soundly twice, the Owls had their work cut out for them in the first round of the District tourney, but a brilliant scoring effort of 26 points by Van Brocklin put the Owls into the finals with a 64-61 win. In the finals, the Owls were humbled by a second- half Raleigh-Egypt scoring binge and settled for the second place trophy after the 36-60 loss. Van Brocklin won a spot on the All-District Team. 60 A CMA defender arrives too late to stop Frank Crawford ' s shot. !i tl Going high for the rebound, Kevin Reed is fouled by Tennessee Academy ' s center. 61 Regional Venture Spoiled by Douglass Van Brocklin Garners All- Region Honors In the Regional, the Owls were defeated in the first round by Douglass, 57-70, despite Van Brocklin ' s 25 points. Van Brocklin was again a selectee for all- tournament honors. Leaders in the final statistics for the year were Van Brocklin with 281 points for an 11.7 average; Reed with a 49 per cent field goal accuracy and 80.8 per cent free throw accuracy; Morrison with 211 rebounds for 8.1 rebounds per contest, and Lee Marshall with 105 assists for 4.0 per game. Looking to the future. Coach Peters saw a very experienced returning squad: Next year we ' ll have a lot of experience and the potential for outstanding teams for the next two years. That is not to say we won ' t miss the seniors who made such a contribution this year, but with the material returning, we should be able to replace them.

Talented B-Teamers Show Promise Winning Season Emerges Despite Four Losses by Total of 8 Points Finishing with a solid overall record of 15-6, the B-team was resevoir of talent for next year ' s varsity. Coach Watson pointed out Freshman Stan Graves, the leading scorer; Pat Moore, the leading rebounder; Steve Hickman, leading in assists; Robert Heard; David Preston; and Jay Stockley as among the more promising prospects. Dropping a heartbreaking opener with White Station 41-43, the B-team started the season off on the wrong foot. They quickly made up for their loss with three straight wins over Overton 43-29, Harding 56-42, and Craigmont 38-36. Once again derailed, this time by Wooddale 43- 42, the Owls fought back with four consecutive wins over Ridgeway 55- I 43, Auburndale 58-11, Old Hickory f M7, and Harding 49-33. These wins an their record to 7-1 before they ; dropped two straight to Wooddale 41-43 and CBHS 39-36. Then, after taking White Station 31-26, Bartlett 42-37, and Auburndale 69-37 in stride, the Baby Owls succumbed 40- 28 to Bartlett. The B-teamers finished the season strong with a string of five wins (over Craigmont 43-41, Craigmont 56-32, Auburndale 60-20, Germantown 33- 29, and Harding 49-34) before falling to their nemesis, Wooddale 56-45. With a well-balanced attack, the B-team proved to be equally as formidable on offense as on defense. They averaged 46.5 points per game while holding their opponents to a mere 33.8. In four of their six losses the margin of defeat was three points or less, indicating the games probably could have gone either way.

Two losses to Germantown (one of them by only a point — 44-45) and one loss in the finals of the MUS Junior High Tournament were the only blemishes on the ninth grade record. Though emphasizing that each player did more than his share, Coach Mitchell singled out Courtnay Rudolph, Conrad McCrary, Robert Shem yell and Chuck Chambers as outstanding contributors. Rudolph received the MVP award in the MUS tournament and was the team ' s leading scorer with 197 points for a 14.0 average. McCrary, only an eighth grader, was termed an excellent all-around player. Shemwell was the baby Owls ' second leading scorer carrying a 9.4 point average while Chambers was the team ' s leading rebounder. Probably the high point of the season for the Junior High was the MUS tournament where the baby Owls fought their way to the finals only to lose 33-39 to a highly regarded Bishop Byrne junior high squad. Rudolph as usual paced the Owls with 14 but Bishop Byrne ' s towering front line proved too formidable an obstacle to overcome.

Also we got a late start. We were playing teams at the first of the year that had already played fifteen or so games. That explains why we were 0-3 at the beginning of the season and then came on late to beat teams like Grace St. Luke ' s and to place second in the Christmas tounnament. The fledgling Owls dropped their first three games of the year to St. Dominic 29-36, St. Paul ' s 31-33, and ! St. Louis 28-37. In the Christmas tournament held at Grace St. Luke ' s, the eighth graders ripped off a string of three straight wins (over Gaelery I 69-20, Holy Rosary 36-31, EDS 22-19) before losing by a point to Grace St. Luke ' s in the finals 28-27. Resuming the regular season, the Owls pushed their record to 4-4 by defeating Harding 34-16, before going into a three game tailspin losing to St. Louis 25-30, St. Dominic 32-41, and Grace St. Luke ' s 35-43. The eighth-graders finally set themselves on the right track again by taking Auburndale 71-26, and Harding 52-18 before losing their way again with a 32-36 loss to St. Paul. Ending strongly, the Owls thumped their old nemesis Grace St. Luke ' s 44-42 and again pounded hapless Auburndale 39-19. Coach Lawson singled out Cowan, Ray, and Holt who each averaged 5.1 points per game as outstanding performers.

Describing the quest of President Ben to the royal palace of Huffar to discover the most unusual and delightful pleasures known to man, Mack Ray gave one of his most humorous dance advertisements. The basketball team chose the nominees for Queen and the Thursday before the game the student body cast their ballots to make the final decision. In spite of fears of poor attendance, an extremely large crowd of Buzzard fans found their way through the perils of a Friday night to view the spectacle. Unfortunately, the opening against Tennessee Academy proved disappointing. Characterized by poor shooting and tedious defense, the Owls got off to a shaky first half start and returned to the locker room with a slim 15-13 lead. Marching out on the court, the Rah-Rahs formed an honor guard for the Homecoming Court of Mimi Fuller, Russell Price, and Sharon Russell. Standing filled with expectation, each girl listened as Bucky Wellford announced the results: first and second alternates — Mimi Fuller and Sharon Russell; Queen — Russell Price. Presiding over the awards, Ben Adams gave each girl a bouquet of red roses and a ceremonious smack. Finally, Russell was brought forward and officially crowned Homecoming Queen. Bombing buckets and ripping rebounds, the Buzzards seized upon their prey and tore the game apart. Their shooting had improved remarkably since the first half and mistakes were minimized. The final 51-26 trouncing left little question of the Owls ' superiority. A moderate crowd remained for the post-game dance in the Lower School gym. Although the untitled group commanded a musical competence, their vocals were almost inaudible to the dismay of many students. The dance ended what was not the most exciting of Homecomings, but the tremendous victory over Tennessee Academy, a team with a 12-3 record, was comforting.

Braving a vicious cold, the cheerleader rushes home from school, and has ten minutes to wash her hair, put on her dress, and gulp down her dinner. She then hurries to the football game where, facing an apathetic crowd, she screams herself hoarse in cheering the team to victory, or, almost as frequently, to defeat. Cheerleaders continued their habits of regular attendance at athletic events, and, thanks to the coaching of Mr. Carpenter, incorporated some new cheers and stunts never before seen at MUS. Led by co-captains Janie Adams and Russell Price, the cheerleaders spent many summer hours practicing cheers that would spark enthusiasm from the demanding MUS student body. Small crowds, though, along with rare attendance by boy cheerleaders during the basketball season, made many of the girls ' efforts to get people to stand up and cheer unheeded. Rah-Rahs were the cheerleaders friends at games. When no one else would stand up to cheer the team, the cheerleaders could count on these girls in red suits to display some extra vivacity. The Jr. High Cheerleaders ' attended every Jr. High football and basketball game. Even though they were also plagued by small and unresponsive crowds, they showed pep comparable to their Varsity companions. .V- f ' Cf ■ tj-ry • Varsity Cheerleaders: Front R Apperson.

As in recent years, these ogranizations became more and more relevant to current student interests, and some evolved into money-making ventures. One of these money-making clubs was the Mechanical Engineering Club. Its members met Saturdays at Mr. Watson ' s house to run their own little business of waxing and tuning up cars, repairing lawn mowers, and working with all types of small engines. Performing these services, M.E.T.C. quickly gained a regular clientele, among whom was Mr. Hatchett. They removed the air conditioner from his Volkswagen. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes was the relaxation of many a jock around campus on Wednesday nights. Though some meetings were plagued by low attendance, those present managed to have fun, whether by playing volleyball, listening to tapes, or hearing a guest speaker. Fishing enthusiasts met in the Lecture Room to hear plans for the upcoming Fishing Club excursion. Among the locations where these fishermen went to camp and fish were Horseshoe Lake, the Little Red River, and Sardis Lake. Undoubtedly the most popular club with the Freshman Class, the Latin Club was under the enthusiastic direction of Miss Green. Affiliated with the nation-wide Junior Classical League, the club was one of the most active in school history. Among its many activities was a program at Christmas time telling of the ancient Roman celebration, the Saturnalia. Thanks to this exposition, lo Saturnalia became a popular phrasq around MUS. CI B8 75 Excursions Predominate as Clubs Become More Active One of the oldest clubs at MUS, the Chess Club retained its popularity. Aside from spending meetings pondering the moves of bishops and pawns, the club, along with the Student Council, sponsored the school-wide chess tournament, which was met with great success. The Stamp and Coin Club met in Mr. Russell ' s room, where members shared and compared various rare and unusual displays. The French Club was an interesting group, spending time playing games on French Monopoly and Scrabble boards. Among the other activities of the French Club were decorating Mrs. Robinson ' s bulletin board and starting a French pen-pal program. Another special-interest club was the Photography Club. Members met with Mr. Thompson and shared information on cameras and photographic techniques, besides taking field trips to neighboring rural areas and downtown Memphis. The Drama Club, composed of promising young actors, produced some interesting meetings at which members read scripts from such works as A Thousand Clowms and Secret Service. The Drama Club also went on excursions to Little Theater and Circuit Playhouse productions. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Marques, the SCUBA Club always managed to have a good time, whether by watching films about oceanography in Room 9, or by going on one of their trips to Florida, Heber Springs, or Ouachita Lake. These excursions often proved enlightening, whether by exploring new depths, or by enjoying some of Coco ' s misadventures. lUILbS French Club Members include: Lex Allen, John Dameron, Bob Ruch, Marc Chidley, John Edmonds, Jeff Marker.

TAP Day, Walk-A-Thon, Draw Enthusiasm MUS is not an island, concerned only with itself and disregarding outsiders. On the contrary, MUS has long had a reputation for active civic responsibility, and this year was no exception. The Civic Service Club evolved into one of the more active of recent years. Its Hemophilia Drive and March of Dimes TAP Day saw many MUS students collecting money for worthy causes. The Civic Service Club also sponsored the annual Thanksgiving car drive, in which they collected cans, money, and a turkey for one lucky family. Joe Skinner, an MUS sophomore, served as West Tennessee Teen Chairman for the March of Dimes. Among his many chores was organizing the 20-mile Walk-a-thon, in which many MUS students participated. Perhaps the most active people in the way of community involvement were Jaye Wells and Jimi Overbey, who organized efforts to save animals at the Humane Shelter. In performing these tasks, they spoke at various schools and were featured on a local radio show. Mike Goodwin deposits his can in the foyer for the Turkey Day drive to feed a needy family. 79 and Experience Boost Theatre J Thespians include: Doug Ray, Albert Laabs, Malcolm Pearson, David Reed, Bobby Stevenson, Mr. George Elder.

The theatre is silent; there is a hush over the audience; suddenly Conrad Birdie is spotlighted walking down the aisle, and a mob of frenzied teenagers chase him down the aisle — their screams setting hair on end. Bye Bye Birdie, under the direction of Mr. George Elder and Mrs. Martha Tomlinson, bopped onto the stage at the peak of the 50 ' s revival. It was probably the best-liked of MUS musicals; and lead parts were held by Malcolm Pearson, Jane Hutchison, Wise Jones, and Cindy Howell. The summer drama workshop proved to be very popular and the summer production, Don ' t Drink The Water, was an excellent, light comedy which starred Alex Seagle, and Larry Hatchett in the lead roles, with Jill Jemison, Holly Kirby, Nancy Anderson, and Laurie Hughes double-cast in the two female roles. As the ' 73-74 year begun, MUS drama had a crisp, new outlook: instead of the usual murder mystery as the first play of the season, the comedy, The Man Who Came to Dinner opened the year with record audiences. Lead roles included Larry Hatchett as Sheridan Whiteside, Jane Hutchison as Lorraine Sheldon, Doug Ray as Bert Jefferson, and Susan Carr as Maggie Cutler. The play, under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Bonner, proved to be very popular among students. The Rainmaker -was a powerful romance, set in the West. It starred Mack Ray, Susan Hatchett, Charles Lev ds, Larry Hatchett, Alex Seagle, David McDonald, and David Reed, with Chip Hughes and Sara Smith as understudies. For the spring musical, Mr. Elder chose the well-knowm Carousel, which unlike other musicals was a deep, moving drama. It had one of the largest casts ever and included eight sets designed by Mr. Saunders. Padlocked doors are necessary to ward off ousiders, not Honor System-abiding MUS students. This year we handled all reported violations by using the same basic methods of investigation as those of previous years. The Council thoroughly considers all evidence brought against the accused; it listens to the defendant ' s story, and then we vote as to the innocence or guilt of the accused violator. The first step we take when a violation of the Honor Code is reported is to call a meeting during a particular class period. Next, we listen to all witnesses involved in the case and examine all possible evidence that - might decide the innocence or guilt of the accused. After this, we bring in the defendent, swear him in on the Bible, and begin to question him. During this question and answer period, we ask the defendent many different things about the violation. Also, the Council presents the accused with the evidence it has to show how or why he was reported as violating the Honor Code. In most cases, the accused usually admits to the charge, but occasionally he will deny having committed an Honor Code violation. In the latter case, the Council has to vote on the guilt or innocence of the accused. If the evidence is substantial enough to convict the defendent, then the Council will vote accordingly and decide as to what punishment should be given. However, if there is not enough evidence to prove the defendent guilty, then it is necessary to find him innocent. After deciding the innocence or guilt of the accused, the case is closed, except for a possible appeal. Any person who feels the Council has been unjust in its decision may appeal to Mr. Thorn, who will decide if the appeal is valid by thoroughly reviewing the facts of the case. If he believes the appeal to be justifiable, then the Council will reconsider the case. A second decision of the Council is final. This particular Honor Council has dealt with a normal number of cases this year. The penalties for violating the Honor Code depend on many different factors, such as the age of the student involved, his past record at MUS, and the seriousness of his offense. Most punishments include a letter home and either a suspension or a substantial number of Saturday Schools. Also, in the case of cheating, the grade received on the test will usually be lowered to a zero. The basic purpose of assigning penalties for violating the Honor Code is to correct the individual so that he will not violate it in the future. In addition to levying the penalty, we talk to the defendant, in hopes of showing him why the Honor System is necessary at MUS. This year, we have done several things to distinguish ourself from past Councils. The Honor Council Constitution was amended to give Lower School students representation on the Council. Also, we held four open meetings and made regular reports in chapel. To help increase the efficiency of the Council, we taped each investigation. Our success was due to the student body ' s willingness to accept and to live by the Honor Code. by Tom Preston 82 Honor Council Extended Into Lower School to Meet Enlarged Student Body Cries of Honor Council, Honor Council! were no longer prevalent throughout school as the student body and the Honor Council took a more responsible attitude toward the Honor Code. The Honor Council was instrumental in forming a Lower School Honor Council, which acted with the assistance of the Upper School Council. This new situation took the central control away from the Lower School administration and gave the students more reponsibility. Council members proved their conscientiousness toward the Honor Council by making up tests and schoolwork from classes which they had missed because of meetings and trials. Despite the growing school population, the Honor Council fought back and ended up handling only an average number of cases. In retrospect, the Council was surely one of the more responsible and effective in years. Honor Council Members include: Seated: Price Morrison, Nathan Bicks, Tom Preston, John Lammons, Harvey Kay. Standing: Philip Adams, Dan Daniel, Sam Varner, Turley Howard, Mark Morris, Breck Bolton, Skip Jones, Charles Allen. 83 First Year Wrestlers Gain Experience Coach Smith Plans Full MIAA Schedule Next Year Bill Williams holds his Christian Brothers opponent in a half-nelson. Grappling gamely, Fun Fong excites spectators with unorthodox techniques against Germantown. Stimulated by student desire to have an opportunity to compete in a winter sport, wrestling was added to the sports program. It quickly established itself as one of the more-popular winter sports with almost thirty boys participating — many of them 8th and 9th graders. The grapplers practiced in the basement of the gym from the end of football seaso: until the first week in February. Truckers ' strikes prevented the team from wrestling a full schedule as the new mat was not delivered until the last week of January — too late for the team to have enough matches to qualify for the district. Coach Smith was only able to arrange three scrimmages with CBHS, Harding, and Germantown. No formal scoring was kept in these scrimmages, but Coach Smith, from the results of the scrimmages and from watching the boys in practice, singled out John Peeples, Steve Rudolph, and John Deweese as outstanding wrestlers. Coach Smith emphasized that this first season was primarily for training purposes. The program did arouse interest, and this year of practice will be of help to the wrestlers returning next year, when Coach Smith plans for the team to wrestle a full MIAA schedule. 84 -ifwiniTOMP V1,l(lf(t||iM |||y|| - .Mumn i M m ' Cross-facing, John Deweese dominates Harding ' s entry in the unlimited category. 85 Closing Victory Highlights Season Despite Losing Record, Owls Ranked Among Top 3 in State Despite a 2-4-1 record, the ' 73- ' 74 soccer team had its share of successes. They tied state champion McCallie, and their four losses were two each to the same teams, Father Ryan and Sewanee. According to Coach Carpenter, We were loaded with talent and had a reputation in Nashville and Chattanooga as being one of the best. At the end of the season, referees ranked MUS among the top three teams in the state. Not winning a game in either December or January, the Owls lost to Father Ryan twice 2-3 and 2-3 and to Sewanee 1-2. Facing their toughest opposition of the year in their next game, the Owls tied number-one ranked McCallie in a hard fought 1-1 contest. Finally the Owls broke into the win column with a 2-1 win over Baylor. Old nemesis Sewanee then dropped the Owls in the next game 1-4. In the season ' s finale the Owls conquered St. Andrews 4-1 in mud and freezing weather. Scoring leaders for the soccer squad were Kenny Kyle with seven goals, Harvey Kay with three, Chris Humphreys with three, and Avery Lackner with one. After each game the referees chose the four best players in the game. Players given the most total points by the referees made the All-State team after the season. Avery Lackner led MUS with two firsts, three seconds, and a fourth. Kenny Kyle had a second and two fourths. Harvey Kay and Albert Jones each had a third while Dan Denker had two thirds.

It was particularly encouraging in contrast to the predicaments which had arisen because of the lack of cooperation between President Nixon and Congress and between the Arab nations and Israel. Maniacal mayhem, cheap thrills, and lots of fun constituted a mere sampling of the delights aroused by Freshman Initiation. This now hallowed event was the direct product of the cooperation between Student Council, Administration, and student body, for without such interlocking interests, the event I would never have been possible. Another, perhaps less exciting example of this spirit, was the ■ success of the new hair regulation 1 which transferred the authority of enforcement to the Student Council. It would be absurd to think that this system could have worked without a massive amount of student support. i Refusal to get a hair cut was I relatively simple. However, each student asked by the Council to do so complied with refined obedience. In addition, commitment and 1 dedication on the part of student ad- sellers pushed the Annual-Ad campaign over its ambitious $6,000 dollar goal by early November. The campaign set a new school record in both dollars and brevity. In regard to athletics, individual involvement overshadowed marginally-disappointing records. With the exception of the Cross- country team ' s state run, competitive statistics were not especially impressive, but the individual ' s support of the entire athletic program was exceptionally outstanding considering the rapid expansion of the student population. To the credit of both the administration and interested students, there was a corresponding increase in the number of athletic activities. The addition of soccer, iwrestling, and intramural basketball were all examples of student- administration cooperation to open ' athletics to a larger number of people. In conjunction with sports, the post-game dances enjoyed greater monetary success than any previous year. Again, simple student support paved the road to superior achievement. Furthermore, response to the tri- sponsored MUS Lausanne Hutchison Film Series not only made the event possible but also enjoyable. Mr. Russell commented that the audiences were better behaved than any such high school group with which he had been acquainted. Perhaps the most impressive incidence of cooperation was the voluntary self-incrimination of those Seniors who had abused their lunch privilege. When the Administration discovered that there had been certain infractions, they delivered the self-incrimination ultimatum. It was commendable that those involved cared enough about the restoration of the lunch privilege to turn themselves in to the administration. Obviously, the year contained its share of suffering and disappointment both personal and collective, but the solidarity of the school demonstrated by the cooperation between Administration, Student Council, and student body was no small accomplishment. And certainly, this cohesiveness was even more striking in view of the chaotic conditions in many educational institutions.

I PURSUITS Grades — everybody worried over them, v orked for them, and cared about them. The student body ' s attitude reflected its change from jockism to scholasticism. But even the athletes cared about grades: constant discussion in hall, lounge, and cafeteria over scores and answ ers on the most recent test marked the increased concern over the all-important marks. Students also found time to participate in multitudinous activities. The new spaper, annual, MUSe, CCMUSTV, dramatics, and such traditional clubs as MUSARC were active, and new intellectual organizations such as the Junior Classical League and the Ontological Society attracted surprisingly large numbers of students. 91 C D DC New Electives, Alum Survey Reflect Constant mmensely enjoyed by some, merely endured by others, English was rarely boring and nearly always challenging. From the lowest level in seventh grade, the courses were a mixture of grammar, vocabulary, and literature study: required reading included everything from The Iliad to Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Juniors and Seniors were exposed to an even greater variety through the six electives that were offered each semester. The most sought-after course was Mr. Hatchett ' s Shakespeare, but Mr. Russell ' s Utopia and Satire, and Mr. Haguewood ' s study of Man ' s Search For Himself, in which Jonathan Livingston Seagull was studied for the first time, were also popular. Other electives included Mr. Boelte ' s Why Man Suffers ' ■ U? i ' ' •■■ ' ' ■■i ■ ' and Modern Literary Criticism and chronological studies of British and American literatures. Mr. Thompson introduced courses in Modern British Drama and Victorian Literature. As part of a continuing self-study, last spring the English department mailed out a questionnaire to graduates of the classes of 1969-72. The responses were generally complimentary of the job MUS had done; however, a large majority favored more research papers and the addition of quarter-length electives. Cited by alumni as most- disliked books were Skinner ' s Walden Two, Beowulf, and Canterbury Tales. As summer approached, the English faculty anticipated a thorough revision of MUS ' s outdated summer reading Hst.

Themes, Artwork Convey Ideas Getting the message across was the emphasis of much of the English and Fine Arts curriculum. The writing of themes and essays about literature began as early as seventh grade. Style could vary from free-form illegibility to the impeccable five-paragraph, 225-word Hatchett composition. Topics were not restricted to character and theme analysis — students sounded off on everything from Watergate to the school ' s lunches. One particularly unusual Hatchett paper required students to describe the most perfect moment possible. Inspired students dreamed of Swiss chalets, sports cars, and South Pacific islands filled with Jill St. Johns and Raquel Welches. Humanities students who were being exposed to the arts and philosophies of Western civilizations recorded their impressions of the world around them in journals. The three entries a week were considered personal and private; only Mr. Russell read them. But nonetheless, a few of the more original students displayed their collections of dwarfian tongues and strange creatures to others. Many communicated through the arts. Three students played in the youth symphony, a few were really good pianists, and a great many more enjoyed playing piano, guitar, or other instruments. Exhibitions afforded others the opportunity to display their artwork.

Mr. Fitzgibbons ' seventh- graders, as w ell as upper school students, learned a wide variety of artistic modes. Many spent Saturday afternoons at school working on large abstractions. Applied Art, as well as Choral Music and Instrumental Music, were pass-fail for the first time. Choral Music students performed at Thanksgiving, and Mrs. Schuette anticipated another appearance in the spring. The feared demise of the fabled jazz band did not come to pass, although the group no longer met during the day in the upper school art room, where they were too-well overheard by others. Mr. Broer relocated the group in the lower school, and rescheduled practices to after-school. Less-talented students could, and did, validly criticize, thanks to Mr. Russell ' s appreciation electives. The first-semester art course somehow managed to cover everything from later stone- age stick figures to Warhol ' s Campbell ' s soup cans. Second semester students were equally well-exposed to music from the middle ages to the present. Friday morning chapels played a part in the cultural education of all. Programs included the Memphis Ballet Society, the Little Symphony, and even a Jesus rock group. Only in its third year of existence, the Fine Arts department was looking forward to the addition of an eighth grade music course similar in scope to seventh grade art. And, of course, it dreamed of a fine arts building. 96 Beginning band members Arthur Fulmer, Dean Underwood, Mark Crosby, Stephen Brown rehearse in science lab after school. 97 Thanksgiving Chorale Provides Entertaining Change Choral music, directed by Mrs. Schuette, was an elective different from all others. Three days a week the class worked on vocal direction and breath control; on other days they worked on Master Theory and training the ear. The student body had one good opportunity to hear the chorus during Thanksgiving. This program included a variety of religious and patriotic hymns. Unfortunately, the chorus was limited in that they were a class, and there was not an even balance of voices. Mrs. Schuette hoped that in the future Choral Music would evolve into a Glee Club that could draw from the entire student body. 98 Beginning, Advanced Bands Reach New Notes Even if you couldn ' t play an instrument, you could be in the MUS band. Under the direction of Mr. Rick Broer, MUS offered band to students who didn ' t even know how to play an instrument. Mr. Broer divided Band into two sections: Beginning and Advanced. Beginning band was for students who didn ' t know how to play an instrument or were relatively new at it. Mr. Broer instructed 7th, 8th, and 9th graders in Band and Beginning Band Members include: Dean Underwoodf Scott Seaton, Steven Brown, M rk Crosby, Mr. Broer. taught several students how to play such instruments as clarinets, trumpets, and baritone horns. It was primarily good practice and preparation for the Advanced Band. Advanced band was a small group of students who played jazz music. Instruments included: saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, drums, and guitar. The Jazz Band included students from other schools and they did have a few small concerts.

Camp Kanuga Instills Renovative Vigor One summer week at Camp Kanuga in North Carolina provided the impetus for the startling changes in the 1974 OWL. With 8 staff members attending the yearbook seminar at Kanuga, the OWL took on many of the latest yearbook techniques. The entire structure of the book was changed. It was made much longer, graphic lettering was added, the copy style was changed, and four- color pictures were used. In addition, an innovative theme was carried throughout the book. An incredible amount of time was devoted to producing the OWL. Weekday afternoons, Saturdays, grades, and even dates were sacrificed to Darkroom Editor Bobby Stevenson and Photography Editor Kelly Koeller examine new prints with pride. produce the best OWL in MUS history. Editor Malcolm Pearson and Advisor Ellis Haguewood coordinated the entire yearbook operation.

In addition to standard fare such as letters to the editor and the popular and informative sports page, there were reports on Student Council and Honor Council progress, controversial editorials in the Power to the People column, and Mack Ray ' s original and humorous satire. Undoubtedly the highlights of the Owl ' s Hoot were the first-rate interviews conducted by Assistant Editor Nathan Bicks with chairman of the Memphis Board of Review Les Savell and civil rights activist Maxine Smith. In both articles the guest ' s outlook and opinion were effectively captured. Being Editor-in-Chief was a very demanding job for Jaye Wells as he led his editors and staff in rushing to prepare articles in order to beat press deadlines. Offering a helpful hand was Mr. Mike Deaderick, faculty advisor. On occasional Saturdays Wells and editors could be found selling ads — a task which few people on the staff looked forward to. Although the Owl ' s Hoot did not appear quite as frequently as in past years, each edition possessed more professional qualities and articles which were more in tune with contemporary student life. Owl ' s Hoot Editors: Jaye Wells, (Ed.-in-Chief), Charles Day, Nathan Bicks, Bucky Wellford. Tom Preston, Mack Ray, Mike Goodwin.

MU MUSe Off ers Creative Outlet for Writing and Artwork Under the editorship of Mack Ray, the MUSe opened new outlets for students. In addition to creative writing, Ray included more artwork and photography than in previous years. The magazine itself was as large as any previous MUSe, but the quality of work contributed was much improved. Mr. Hatchett acted as advisor to the literary magazine and assisted the board of editors in reviewing contributions. Mr. Hatchett lectures on the nature of editing. MUSe Editors include: Mr. William Hatchett, Larry Hatchett, Walker Sims, Mack Ray, Carroll Johnson, Michael Marker.

MUSARC members include: Mr. Perdue, Dolph Belton, Mr. McGhee, Bruce Wynn, Mark Merrill, Jamie Hall (Pres.), Mark Eason, and Fun Fong. 106 MUSARC Airwaves Disturbed by Newly Acquired Electronic Gadgetry E nthusiasm reigned in the handling of electronic gadgetry, as evidenced by the zealous activities of the MUS CCTV Cte-w and the Amateur Radio Club. Both of these 1 relatively young organizations indicated a trend of student interest in the various fields of technological communication. The Television Crew, the pet project of Mr. MacQueen and Nathan Bicks, began a new program of evaluation aids, which included filming play rehearsals, chapel speakers, teachers in class, and athletic scrimmages for the purpose of self-evaluation. In addition, the crew, composed of directors, writers, technicians, and cameramen, video-taped not only network television presentations, such as the highly acclaimed AMERICA series for American History, but its own productions as well, including a proposed program on the Battle of Midway. From the confines of the Radio Shack, the Amateur Radio Club (MUSARC) continued to speak to other hams as far away as Antarctica. The other major activity of MUSARC was to aid those members who did not have operating licenses in earning them. We were in the TV studio last year, Cecil B. MacQueen is shooting World War III in there now. — Mr. Haguewood, in explaining where school day pictures would be taken. 107 Surrounded by his unique paraphernalia, Mr. Boelte is surprised while viciously grading a Medieval History test.

Stephen King and Mr. Thompson search in the text for the true answer to a multiple guess European History question. 108 Mr. Deaderick ' s required readings in American History become more diverse each year. NO subject inspired as much fear in students as history. Mr. Deaderick ' s and Mr. MacQueen ' s American History proved itself worthy of its reputation as the toughest course at MUS. More than just a survey, students waded through essays expressing confusingly different views of the same subject. Those who wanted to go even deeper could elect to take either U.S. Cultural and Intellectual History or Civil War History. Many sophomores took Modern European History, and a few freshmen signed up for Ancient and Medieval History as taught by Mr. Boelte, Mr. Broer bewildered eighth-graders with the myriad branches, checks, and balances of American Government. Seventh- graders learned a great deal more than Tennessee geography from Coach Lawson. Everyone ' s social studies were greatly helped by the new TV monitors in the lecture room and the new microfilm reader in the Library. Rather than lower the diploma requirement of a whole unit, two semester- length Bible electives were added for Juniors and Seniors to complement the seme ' ster of Bible in the ninth grade. Mr. Marques created and taught both, which were selected from a list of ten by Juniors in the spring. Selected were Science and Religion and Practical Psychology in Christian Living. Science and Religion studied religions relation to science through a historical approach, and the other covered a wide range of topics from germ theology (in which God is the head germ), to mysticism and witchcraft, to Freudian concepts of guilt and psychosomatic illnesses. The freewheeling informality of Mr. Marques ' classes, plus the content, attracted a large number of students who took it not because they needed the credit but because they were interested.

After a brief study of the history and technology of the computer, students learned the BASIC language of computer programming. Mr. Perdue and his students found the subject so fascinating that they spent most of their spare time working with the new $10,000 machine. Another sign of the advancing technology of the educational process at MUS was the widespread use of calculators among Seniors in I higher math. Calculus students discovered that the mean little machine in the black case could reduce the time required to do homework by as much as fifty per cent. But the unfortunates who did not own a calculator still had to struggle through the conventional pages of symbols and numbers. Students had alternating feelings of disgust and accomplishment as they progressed level-by-level through basic seventh grade math, pre-algebra. Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Senior Math, and, ultimately, Calculus for some seniors.

Unconcerned Biology students look at a number of other things as Mr. Carpenter tries to interest his class in film on the impending takeover of humanity by insects. Curriculum Revised to Eliminate Repetition Aplastic humanoid, with muscles and organs faithfully copied and positioned, added his skills to those of Mr. Carpenter as students learned the miracles of life in Biology. The text was changed to the more challenging BSCS blue version which placed emphasis on the lab. Mr. Omundson ' s Chemistry and Mr. Mitchell ' s Physics constituted the remainder of the advanced science curriculum. Physics, in addition to being a very tough and demanding subject, introduced certain Hutch High students to school-wide prominence. Physics-Chemistry, taught by Mr. Stacks and Mr. Omundson, was the prerequisite for any other upper school science course. It was made available to any freshman so that he would have time enough for Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. The lower school curriculum was completely changed to eliminate repetition. Seventh grade general science was replaced by a course in life science so that even those who did not take Biology would have some exposure to its basics. The traditional lab-oriented Physical Science in the eighth grade was scrapped in favor of an unusual Earth Science Curriculum Project, which was supposed to make earth science, in Coach Shurlds ' words, extremely interesting and understandable. 112 Mr. Omundson j ' nsfrucfs David Reed, Eric Eilertsen, and Keith Barksdale on proper graphing procedure to be used in reporting results of Chemistry experiments.

Lights burned late on the eve of quarter ' s end as Advanced French students rushed madly through the remaining pages of exercises and translations that were due the next day under a new program of individualized iiistruction. Mrs. Higgs ' Latin I students, as well as Mrs. Robinson ' s French III and IV students, participated in the program in which each student worked toward stated goals while proceeding at his own rate. Mrs. Robinson considered the program stimulating and challenging, and students applauded the change as a vast improvement over what otherwise would be stiffly- structured courses. Elsewhere in the Language department, Mr. Mutzi ' s and Mr. Pettigrew ' s Spanish continued a trend in the direction of more reading of Spanish works, rather than having a tightly organized grammar-oriented course. The frequent spontaneous Spanish conversations were Mr. Mutzi ' s best teaching aid. Definitely a refreshing addition from the viewpoint of the MUS student was Miss Green, who taught Latin II and Spanish I. Challenged Abound as Independent Study Introduced 115 lEssay The Paper Chase Goes On and On It often seemed that students had nothing to do or worry about but school work. Extracurricular activities went lacking for support as students had to devote more of their spare time to studying. Statistics backed the theory: nearly one tb Ird of the Junior class had an average of eighty-five or over. Teachers observed a slow upward curve in the marks of students. Many students could not resist drawing a comparison between MUS and the mad rush of Harvard Law as depicted in the movie The Paper Chase. Perhaps they were a bit off-base, but nevertheless most did spend long hours studying for a particularly hard exam in an attempt to keep up with the rest of the class. And there were many incentives to keep them interested. Probably the number one reason to study for many underclassmen was parental reaction. A bad grade on a progress report, or worse, a deficiency report, meant a screeching halt to the social life. Some tried hard to live up to the expectations of their parents, or good records left by older brothers. Teachers, too, had David Reed tries to compose an English paper while off-stage during Rainmaker rehearsal. expectations of students, and made them known when students failed to live up to them. Teachers seemed to take delight in notifying a student in class of his flag on its way home in the mail. And a student could get caught up in some very intense peer competition. Many compared grades at the lunch table, and were either happy or envious. Somebody always turned in his paper one day earlier, or got a few points higher on a test. A few students worked for recognition (MUS was unusual with a scholastic honorary society — Cum Laude — as well as the National Honor Society). A few were out, perhaps, for the personal satisfaction of doing something well. As the Senior year drew nearer, one motive began to take precedence over all others: college entrance. As in any college-preparatory school, most students who had not been too concerned got busy when they realized the amount and quality of competition they faced in the admissions office. For those who opted to apply at the competitive schools, one point on a grade average might make a big difference. The academic pressures on students were complex and diverse. In some schools, pressures have built up to dangerous levels. Combined with social and domestic problems that face many students, they have produced drastic reactions — even suicide. But fortunately, the atmosphere never got too pressured, due to the informality that existed in open study halls, student lounge, and most classrooms. Numerous sports and other extracurricular activities were available to let off steam. The administration expanded the guidance program — Mr. Shurlds became a full-time counselor — to help students cope more effectively with personal and academic problems. Students did not question the grade system. Pass-fail courses helped Seniors a little, but there was surprisingly very little discussion of the endless pursuit of grade after grade and where it might all wind up. Perhaps students were too caught up in trying to survive and succeed in the system to pause and think about it. 116 Robbie King, Don Harkness, and Bo Mitchum have time enough to relax before English, but extracurricular activities have apparently kept Malcolm Pearson from getting his homework done. Senior cut allows Charles Lewis to isolate himself in a library carrel to concentrate on studying for next- period test. Chip Grayson and Scooter Walters do some last-minute cramming before school for a dreaded Springfield math test. 117 o • I— I -I— cd o o Hoi-PoUoi Perform Weird Drills Students bent over backwards and rolled their hips in Physical Education. Those exercises were but two of a multitude of sometimes bizarre exercises from a variety of conditioning programs to which P.E. students were exposed. At the beginning of the year, students discovered either their surplus or deficiency of eh . . . cardiovascular conditioning in a test of their stamina. As usual, students participated in a wide variety of games: swimming, volleyball, softball, soccer, touch football, basketball. speedball, team handball, and track. By year ' s end, students had experienced the elation of a victory in tug-of-war and the anguish of the final stretch of the cross-country course. Seniors participating in the new Teacher Assistant Program helped Coach Peters supervise two activities simultaneously. Another innovation was the abolition of red and blue teams — each team chose its own name. Favorites included the Fargoes, the Hoi-PoUoi, and more realistic names such as Barbarians and Dogs. Seniors enjoyed increased freedom in Independent P.E., having only to report their individual activities twice each quarter. But underclassmen were warned the first day of school that their deportment in regular P.E. would determine their eligibility for Independent Physical Education when they were Seniors. In addition to their activities in P.E., freshmen thrilled to the sight of uncensored gore in the Medical Self-Help portion of Health Education. They also learned of the evils of alcohol, drugs, sex, and tooth decay. 118 Forrest McCurdy prepares to hit a home run in softball, one of several autumn sports. Coach Peters smiles after announcing the day ' s activity of 15- minute run, but Coach Stacks seems to sympathize with students. 119 .L audf Tiim iL auae High Caliber of Students Makes Selection Difficult Each year 10% of the Senior and Junior classes are chosen to be inducted into the Cum Laude Society. The Society was modeled after Phi Beta Kappa and was founded on the belief that academic achievement should be accorded at least the same recognition as other high school activities. By contrast to Cum Laude ' s completely academic character, the National Honor Society wishes to select those students who have displayed not only academic capability, but also character depth and leadership capacity. Therefore, a student may possibly have the highest grade average and not be chosen for membership. The high caliber of students at MUS has made membership in both societies highly competitive. For example Cum Laude has been thought of generally as all the ' A ' students. However, this generalization is fallacious; this year there were some students who had A averages but were still not in the top 10% and thus failed to receive membership. The situation was even more agonizing in the selection of the National Honor Society, considering the subjective nature of the qualifications. In order to assure that no pertinent information was left out, each candidate was asked to write a short essay reporting his merits. In determining the final decision, a group of teachers headed by Mr. Russell had to evaluate the intangible qualities of leadership and character displayed by each student under consideration. Mr. Russell announced the new NHS inductees. New Cum Laude members eye their certificates.

This is particularly true of schools. If the students don ' t support the school and its activities, then it will be a failure. The people at MUS support the school, and thus its activities are by and large successful. Due to the increase in student interest, the number of clubs is increasing tremendously. Attendance at athletic functions is also good. Thus the student body has proved that it cares and is reaping the benefits of that concern.

Lynn, Coach Thorn, Mr. MacQueen, and Mr. Springfield. Partly because of the efforts of Col. Ross M. Lynn, longtime headmaster, MUS received high praises from the evaluation committee last spring. Coach Thorn, the Associate Headmaster, oversaw the day-to-day operations of the school. Coach Thorn aided Seniors in their college decisions. Mr. MacQueen, the Academic Dean, oversaw the curriculum. In addition to his duties as academic dean, Mr. MacQueen ran the videotape equipment in the library. This videotape material was a welcome addition to many courses. Academic Dean Leigh MacQueen discusses a course drop with a student. Associate HeadmasterB. Eugene Thorn finishes paperwork before leaving for the day. After a mild heart attack, Mr. Springfield, Lower School Principal, returned this year and did an excellent job running the Lower School. The Administration delegated many responsibilities to the Student Council this year. They approved the new Student Council plan for the enforcement of the hair regulations. This plan laid the entire burden of enforcement on the Council. The Administration also delegated the responsibility of keeping the lounge clean to the Council. Whenever the Administration delegated responsibilities to the Council, their confidence was more than justified. Lower School Headmaster John M.

The staff watched over all the many minute details of school life, and thus insured the smooth operation of MUS. Due to the recommendations of the evaluation committee last year, a full-time guidance program was begun. Mr. Shurlds shouldered the responsibility of guidance counselor. His duties included conducting the college testing programs, advising students on academic and personal problems, and general career counseling. Mr. Daniels and Mrs. Green cared for the business end of school activities. Mr. Daniels ran the bookstore and the maintenance staff. Mrs. Green oversaw the bookkeeping and paid the school ' s bills. The Development Office, consisting of Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Mayer, and Mrs. Lenz, performed admirably their task of raising money for the school; they also kept the alumni in touch with the school . The assistant librarians Mrs. Huckaba and Mrs. Allen continued their never-ending battle to keep the library atmosphere studious — not riotous. Taking time out from their struggles with students, the librarians kept the complex machinery of the library running smoothly. Development Staff: Mrs. Lenz, Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Mayer.

They were interested enough to help problem students on their own time. They also sponsored several new clubs such as Mr. Broer ' s two band groups, and encouraged support of [school functions. Mr. Richard Broer, in his first year at MUS, taught eighth grade government and led the school band. His ba nd was divided in to advanced and beginning groups. Because of this change, new musicians will be upcoming and will improve the band in future years. Mr. Doug Dalton continued his good rapport with his Lower School English students. He also helped 3oach the eighth grade football team to a highly successful season. Despite suffering a painful slipped disc while attempting to open a window that had been painted shut, VIr. George Elder maintained his iheerful disposition and continued lis many activities. He directed several plays and taught Vocabulary, 3ible, and Speech. Coach Elder ' s Drown lounge chair, necessitated by lis slipped disc, was also enjoyed by nany students. Not having to come in at mid-year nade this school year easier for Miss v4artha Gattes. She taught seventh ;rade English and introduced awe- struck seventh graders to the ' agaries of literature and grammar. One of MUS ' longtime teachers, vlrs. Betty Jo Higgs again taught first rear Latin. She introduced an ndependent study program to that ime-honored and student- )efuddling course which was the ■nvy of other students. Mr. Katsutoshe Kanzaki taught .ower School physical education, le was infamous for his favoritism n refereeing games and for using his ung-fu skills on rowdy students. Mr. Broer tells mothers about his Government course on Parent ' s Day. Coach Kanzaki and Martin Daniel were two of the many assistants at the MUS Day Camp. 129 During eighth grade football practice Mr. Perkins laughs at Comment by Mr. Dalton. Coach Lawson answers student ' s question in geography. 130 EASYGOING Teachers Prove to Be Popular Several teachers promoted an informal atmosphere in their classes. Students appreciated this relaxation of discipline and responded by showing increased interest in class. A new teacher at MUS, Pete Lawson, taught seventh grade geography, physical education, and coached varsity baseball, eighth grade basketball, and was assistant varsity football coach. Coach Lawson also enjoyed a good rapport with his students. Mr. Randolph Perkins taught math and, alongside Mr. Dalton, coached the eighth grade football team to a fine season. In addition to his duties as Lower School science teacher, Mr. Andrew Saunders was a ninth-grade assistant football coach and aided the drama department. Mr. Saunders ' sense of humor often enlivened his classes, enlivened his classes. Mr. Bob Boelte ' s English and history classes were notable examples of this easygoing atmosphere. Mr. Boelte ' s classes were often spiced with his tales of Max, his dog, or Homer, his late monkey. A number of interesting chapel speakers were also brought to MUS due to Mr. Boelte ' s efforts. Mr. Mike Carpenter taught biology and coached the soccer team in his first year at MUS. His biology course was noted for the enormous amount of outside material which he used. Mr. Carpenter also showed himself to be a follower of the latest styles by his fancy attire. Mr. Boelte is distracted as Grey Sellers attempts to pick his pocket. Mr. Carpenter leads CheerleadeTS during one of their frequent practices in front of the library. 131 Mrs. Carter smiles coyly as music of typewriters fills the air. 132 During Parent ' s Day, Mr. Deaderick describes American History for parents. Mr. Haguewood lectures his English elective on Catcher in the Rye. DIFFERENT Backgrounds Provide Variety Due to the many backgrounds of the teachers, many different teaching methods were used. These methods ranged from the freedom of the independent study programs of some classes to the tight discipline of lecture in other classes. These differing methods added much variety to school life. The ever-popular typing course was again taught by Mrs. Carter. Despite attempts by her MUS students to create anarchy in typing, she kept an orderly class and even taught them how to type. One of the school ' s more popular teachers, Mr. Deaderick taught several history electives. When not talking to Charles Stockley, Mr. Deaderick could be found in the teacher ' s lounge contributing to the dense clouds of smoke. Teaching Applied Art in his first year at MUS, Mr. Bill Fitzgibbons revitalized the course. His art classes put on a large exhibition in the library. Mr. Fitzgibbons diversified the course and performed an excellent job. Another of MUS ' new teachers. Miss Marilyn Sue Green taught both Latin II and Spanish I. She formed a Junior Classical League for all those interested in Latin and extra credit. Her Latin classes also put on an excellent Christmas show. When not prodding delinquent annual editors to meet deadlines, Mr. Ellis Haguewood could be found teaching English. It was in large part due to his patience and aid that the Owl appeared. 133 INDIVIDUALS Create Relaxed Atmosphere Individuals added much to school life this past year. In each class, their dual personalities asserted themselves. This often made classes much more interesting. The library safely survived another year under the direction of Mrs. Pallie Hamilton despite repeated attempts by students to desecrate the stacks. Under Mrs. Hamilton ' s direction, the library has become something in which all students can take pride. Mr. William Hatchett again returned to MUS to play guitars and teach English. As a gift from his class, Mr. Hatchett received an electronic calculator of which he was extremely proud for instant grade averages. One of the friendliest teachers at MUS, Mr. Al Marques could be seen walking the halls with his ever- present smile and laugh. Mr. Marques also organized a faculty chorus that pleasantly surprised everyone. As a registered amateur radio operator, Mr. McGhee could often be found with the radio in his yellow VW.

EXPERIENCE Shines Through Classes In some classes, the teacher ' s experience made the hours especially profitable. The efficient way in which these classes were operated was greatly appreciated by the students. Pacing the corridors in his white lab coat, Mr. Jerrold Omundson introduced students to their first chemistry class. Often spicing long chemistry lectures with stories about his swim team, or his years of Navy service, Mr. Omundson was a popular teacher. Our answer to IBM, Mr. Evin Perdue taught a new computer course besides teaching Senior Math. Mr. Perdue, along with Mr. McGhee, sponsored the Amateur Radio Club. Leaving the Lower School, Mr. Jerry Peters, brought his green bomb to the Upper School parking lot. Coach Peters taught physical education and gave the student body another successful basketball season. Due to the superb teams he has produced. Coach Peters was announced 1973 Coach of the Year in Shelby County, an award he richly deserved. With several years of teaching at other schools, Mr. Charles Pettigrew was an experienced teacher upon coming to MUS. He taught Spanish I and English. Mrs. Frank Robinson was again one of the teachers most popular with her students. By dint of hard work Mrs. Robinson began an independent study program which very rapidly became highly popular. She was also chairman of the language department. Mr. Jacob Rudolph, head varsity football coach, also taught Algebra I to 9th graders. Coach Rudolph possesses a renowned career record. Mr. Pettigrew records grades from a first semester Spanish I test. 137 During sixth period music, Mrs. Schuette thanks Rob Skinner for his solo at the Thanksgiving program. Coach Smith explains the technique of the atomic knee drop. DISCIPLINE Reigns Supreme Discipline was one of the major elements of several classes this year. Some teachers got the discipline they wanted with a tone of voice while some used the threat of four hundred yards of grass drills. One of MUS ' finest teachers, Mr. James Russell could always be found talking to students. His numerous sponsorships and interests in art and music took much of his time, but he always took time to befriend his students. Adding much to the fine arts curriculum, Mrs. Charles Schuette taught choral music at MUS. Mrs. Schuette ' s class sang for the student body during the Thanksgiving program. MUS ' own Charles Atlas, Leland Smith, brought bulging biceps to MUS and taught algebra and health. Coaching the ninth grade football team, he led the squad to a successful season and was well-liked by the students. In his first year here, Mr. C. W. Stacks taught physics-chemistry, and coached the tennis team. He also sponsored the Athletic Supporters.

The secretaries, Mrs. Brugge, Miss Easum, and Mrs. McGowan again efficiently completed those necessary but often tedious tasks. Despite the sight of hordes of students fighting to get to lunch, the kitchen crew, consisting of Mrs. Lenti, Ersie King, Mattie McKinney, Nancy Pettis, Cecil Rankin, Willie Taylor, and Rodie Hamers, prepared and served the enormous quantities of food necessary to feed several hundred ravenous stomachs. Despite the tremendous increase in food prices this year, Mrs. Lenti continuted to serve the same quantity and quality as in years past. From broken foyer chairs to heating systems that wouldn ' t stop heating, MUS ' s large physical plant required unending care, and the maintenance staff again proved itself up to its tasks. The staff this year consisted of Mr. Yager, Robert Watson, Jackson Young and Eddie Hancock. Mrs. Nell Lenti, school dietician. Mrs. McGowan, lower school secretary, types out report cards. Miss Easum, and Mrs. Brugge, upper school secretaries, take time out from work. 141 Seniors pose for traditional group picture.

While clinging to the traditional privileges, the class also instilled new projects. Some of the traditional privileges that made the final year more endurable for Seniors were lunch privileges, class cuts, and exam exemptions. Although they periodically slumped in their efforts of leadership in some school affairs, the Seniors frequently experimented with unique projects. Such innovations as the Freshman initiation, revised independent PE, increased class cuts, and renewed Senior social life helped to unify the 84 members of the largest Senior class in MUS history. Along with the privileges and the fun came the constant pressures. Some of these hassles were college decisions, standardized tests, class rank, exacting curriculum, and time- consuming extra-curricular activities. With all of its pressures and privileges, the Senior year was the best of times for most of the members. And, if for some it was not the best of times, it was certainly the most interesting.

Cramming, shoving, and ordering were traits of the restoration of Freshman Initiation. While ! illustrating their authority for the first time in the school year, the Seniors also used this project to become better acquainted with the 1 9th graders. Likewise, the Who ' s Who was a project that exemplified the retrogression to previously discarded traditions. The Seniors also clung to their annual privileges of tradition such as class cuts, revised lunch privileges, I Independent PE and exam I exemptions. So, this year the Seniors managed to revive discarded projects of tradition and also instill the usual traditions with an extra eagerness.

HASSLE The College Rat Race; It Really Gets You Down Receiving letters from such renowned institutions of higher learning as Transylvania, King College, Ball State, and Deep Springs College was not an unusual burden for the Senior. Hassling also came from trade schools such as Spartan Aeronautical School and Bailey ' s Technical Institute. Interesting techniques were used by these obscure institutions to grab the Senior ' s attention. For example, Transylvania College used the phrase, We ' ve got to stop meeting like this, to entice the Senior into applying to their college. In addition to these hassles, the Senior was also faced with the long process of selecting the right college. The hassles started with college visits and letter writing. Applications were a heavy burden upon the frantic Senior. Waiting was the absolute torment in the college acceptance process. So while grinding through his tough high school work, the Senior was forced to sift through hassles from obscure institutes and still become accepted at the college of his choice. 146 James Coker Hall — Baseball 9; Exotic Animal Club 11; Fishing Club 9, 10; Pep Club 12; Scuba Club 10, 11, 12; Newspaper Staff 12; Library Staff 9, 10; TV Crew 11, 12; Advanced Band 10, 11; Jazz Band 10, 11; MUSARC 9, 10, Pres. 11, 12; Rocketry Club 9, 10.

ESCAPE Freedom of City Lures Seniors Interest Activities of many Seniors were confined solely to the school campus. Many students exhibited their talents in clubs or societies outside of the general school life. Other Seniors labored in their spare time in an effort to earn some spending money. The Labor Corps consisted of Ronnie Caldwell and Tom Taylor at Baskin-Robbins, John Edmonds, John Whitson, and Dawson Sather at McDonalds, Vince Cardin at the Country Steak House, and Will Chase and Brett Bonner at MUS. Also, James Patterson exhibited his musical talents in the Memphis Junior Symphony, and Stanley Garrott displayed his finesse on horseback in various horse shows. Displaying outstanding versatility and talent, some individuals in the Senior Class turned away from the limited MUS atmosphere. Instead, they performed and labored in the freedom of the big city. Senior John Edmonds spends a portion of his spare time toiling in the ever-popular McDonalds on Poplar. 151 John McKnight Ray — Soccer lO; Track 9; Cycling Club 10; Pep Club 11, Exec.

FINALE What We Were All About This Senior Class possessed a unique hard-to-define quality. This quality could best be described as a genuine understanding among the members of this large Senior Class. Never before at MUS has a Class been more frank and open with fellow members. Also, this Senior Class never actually realized the fact that they were Seniors. So, through their maturity, they did not become arrogant and obnoxious as has frequently happened in recent years. Some concrete aspects appear to reflect mediocrity in this Class. And yet, their togetherness and general happiness compensated for a few other physical shortcomings. But all events were not an idealistic Utopia. Of course, there were some differences of opinion and other conflicts. But in the typical manner of the Class of ' 74 these problems were discussed face to face and ironed out. So, the year as a whole was made more enjoyable by the relaxed, genuine attitude of the members of the largest Senior Class in the history of MUS. Certainly, the Class of ' 74 cared about the school, faculty, and each other. A special camaraderie exists among Bucky Wellford, Jeff Upshaw, Steve Bedford, and Warren Barry. 153 Frank Robert Stubblefield — Civic Service Club 9; Fishing Club 9; Newspaper Staff 12; Lost and Found Comm. 12; MUS Big Brother 12; Usher 12; Ticket Sells 10; Letter of Comm. 12; Civic Service Drives 12.

Images that come to mind include an indifferent Student Council, periods six and seven that didn ' t rotate, and mandatory club memberships. When this Senior Class was in the Seventh Grade there was no Lower School. As a result we were subjected to a frequent ritual known as the Trip to Hollywood, referring to the holly bushes on campus. And who could forget Coach Mickey Powell and his crew cuts, and lunch study hall? Many also went through the ordeal called The School Bus with only a few surviving the trips. Possibly the highlight of the Seniors ' six-year tenure was the birth of the Buzzard in the Eighth Grade, and in the same year the Fire wiped out the language labs. Then in Ninth Grade was Bible with Bill Elder. Finally in the Tenth Grade, the Class of ' 74 had a taste of being in the mainstream of school life with Student Council Elections, and Jamie Walkup and Paul Jones and their famous Freddy and the Fags. And last year we had Varner and 27-2, 4 in the state, and Buck Lewis. As late May and Graduation approached. Seniors began to realize for the first time that the reality of making decisions was facing them. What to study in college, where to live, and what to do with their lives — these questions faced students for fleeting moments. However, these moments were brief as Seniors faced three months of summer bliss after their six years of work and play at Memphis University School.

The Career Maturity Inventory, a poll on how students handle different job situations, was given in September. Next was the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, or PSAT, a dry run for the SAT. Then in March came the dreaded SAT, followed by the Achievement. Along with these tests, the slightly easier ACT ' s were administered in April at Memphis State. High honors were awarded to a select group of the class. Eleven Juniors were installed in the Cum Laude Society in January. In February, four Juniors were elected by a faculty committee to the highly- prestigious National Honor Society. They were Kenny Kyle, John Marcom, Andy Wu, and Price Morrison.

Some juniors received new cars and did not waste any time in showing them to the rest of their clique. There wer e approximately 125 cars on the campus in ' 74 with about thirty per cent of them belonging to juniors. Most of the juniors ' cars were similar to those driven in a stock car endurance run, but there were a few late models which helped to modernize the campus.

Mr. Boelte, Mr. Pettigrew, and Mr. Hatchett ried to keep their classes interesting and informative, though not always successfully. This was the last required English course for the Sophomores. And, as the discussions lulled on, they quickly learned the art of bulling your way through. How late does the main library stay open? This query was often heard as bleary-eyed Sophomores stumbled about the halls carrying mounds of note cards, Elinor, the style book, and a half-written term paper. Writing on subjects ranging from The Battle of Memphis to Different Techniques for Bass Fishing, the Sophs quickly learned the mechanics of how to write a term paper.

Freshmen initiation warmly welcomed the Ninth Grade to the Upper School. Seniors finally got permission to carry out the initiation and wasted no time becoming dictatorial. Easily recognizable by their multi-colored Mickey Mouse caps, they were forced to walk backwards down the halls, skip to the library, and sing to Col. Lynn. They quickly became footstools, horses, and servants on the last day and were treated to a water balloon fight on the f oUovdng Saturday, although few showed up. It was all in fun, of course, and the two classes ended up being better friends. 166 Randy Graves Stanley Graves John Gowdy Tod Hanover Eddie Hardin Barry Hendon Steve Hergenrader Bruce Hillyer Turley Howard William Howard C Cihyi 167 Ricky McCullough H T v «w Forrest McCurdy Scott McDearman .

Because of the difference in schedules, these students missed out on skits and special guests who appeared in the Upper School Chapel program. The distance between the main building and the Lower School was a problem during inclement weather, as new students quickly found out at the beginning of the school year. However, there were some advantages to life in the Lower School. The students had the dining hall to themselves instead of facing the near-impossible situation of eating with the Upper School students. And though some teachers were hampered in teaching their classes as the pitter-patter of little feet raced to the lunchroom everyday around 11:30, this was not really much of a problem. The Student Council of the Lower School could concentrate more on their individual activities and problems instead of trying to gain attention in the Upper School Student Council. The idea of Student Counci ls and Honor Councils inside MUS has helped all students greatly, especially the students behind the pine trees. 171 Lonnie Lazar Walt Little Bill Long Earl McClanahan Conrad McCrary Treat MacDonald Brent Manning Bobby Marshall Emmett Marston Joe Morrison Stan Myers Howard Nease John Norfleet John Olsen JL Jess Ossorio Vance Overbey Brad Page Paul Page John Patteson Bobby Pidgeon Robbie Preston Stephen Pridgen Skipper Pridgen Robert Pyeatt Albert Ray LEADERSHIP Eighth Graders Assume More ResponsibiUties Lower School Students leave Dunavant Auditorium after Chapel.

ORGANIZATIONS Students Donate Time to Clubs Lower school clubs played an important role in the school life of many students. The Cycling Club, under the leadership of Mr. Dalton, took several field trips around Memphis on weekends. Their biggest trip was a ride to a farm near Moscow, Tennessee, in the latter part of the year. The Rocketry Club met on Saturdays to shoot rockets of all shapes and sizes. Mr. Saunders was the faculty sponsor for the club, which was formerly an Upper School organization. The Sailing Club was made up of Seventh and Eighth Grade boat enthusiasts who experimented with the techniques of sailing. Despite the lack of a body of water bigger than McKellar Lake, they managed to succeed in their efforts of mastering the art of sailing. The Student Council, under the leadership of Brad Adams, helped to improve the atmosphere of the Lower School. Altliiough the Upper School Student Council did much for all of the students, the Lower School representatives independently did a good job for their schoolmates. 179 z: a IDS! !

It is now one of the music capitals of the world and the home of the number two- ranked Tigers. What was the backwater river town is now the Gateway to Mid- America. The people in Memphis have united behind the city, and this, in turn, has strengthened the foundation of Memphis. Believe in Memphis! One of the reasons for this rise in spirit of the citizens is the recent campaign operating under this slogan. Spearheaded by the Chamber of Commerce, this campaign has had a phenomenal success. Throughout the city one can see billboards, bumper stickers, and even lapel pins displaying a belief in our town. Memphis is a city rich with tradition; but it is also a city with a changing image. It is now known nation-wide as not only a mammoth cotton center, but as a leader in the area of business as well. In light of its many positive factors, only an optimistic future can been seen for Memphis — Gateway to Mid-America. 181 Yellow Fever Epidemic, Boss Crump Highlight Memphis History Memphis was founded in 1819 by a small group of rich proprietors from middle Tennessee. The town, named for the ancient Egyptian City, grew quickly and by 1860 it had a population of over 22,600. After being incorporated in 1826, and chartered as a city in 1840, the town grew rapidly because of its river and railway outlets for its cotton market. With the completion of a railway connecting the city with Atlanta, Memphis was second only to New Orleans in the cotton industry. Inside of a decade the population had doubled, and people began to think that the city might become the New York of the South. Suddenly in the 1870 ' s, the city was struck by three yellow fever epidemics; 8,000 died; the city became bankrupt and surrendered its charter; and the population dipped to 33,000. Memphis then staged a miraculous comeback and by the beginning of the twentieth century, the city had paid off its debt and was the fourth largest city in the South, behind New Orleans, Atlanta, and Dallas. However, the epidemics did have a great cultural effect on the city. In 1918, two percent of the Memohis population had been born in the city; thus, it was new and provincial in its cultural continuity. By the 1920 ' s, the city had a reputation as being the most vice-ridden in the nation. At a time when all progress in Memphis was at a standstill, Edward H. Crump entered the scene. Crump was elected as a reform mayor in 1909. And although he was ousted in 1915 by the courts, he controlled Memphis and Tennessee politics until his death in 1954. It was under Crump that Memphis took on the progressive stance it now holds today. A picture of a Memphis flood in 1912 shows the styles of the era. 182 E. H. Boss Crump exerted a powerful influence in Memphis for nearly a half- century. The Great YellowFever Epidemic of 1878 almost depopulated the city, and the grave diggers in Elmwood Cemetery worked overtime. 183 Cotton Capital Has Spurt in Both Population and Area. Within the last ten to twenty years, the city of Memphis has experienced a fantastic spurt in growth. One example of this growth is MUS itself. When this institution was founded, MUS was simply a small set of buildings set almost out in the sticks. As Memphis grew, though, so did MUS, and now, fifteen years later, MUS has a large, spreading campus in the center of East Memphis. The city of Memphis has grown in many ways. In several cases, the city was able to take huge leaps in both population and area through the annexation of such areas as Whitehaven and Frayser. The city has also grown in reputation; previously known only as the cotton capital and the home of the Blues, it is now one of the top music- producing cities in the world. Memphis has gone through a great deal of development in recent years. The International Airport has been built within the last ten years as well as several huge buildings downtown and in East Memphis. Even more recently the new bridge across the Mississippi River has just been completed, the Everett R. Cook Convention Cent er has opened, and work has gotten underway in the new St. Joseph Hospital next door to MUS. Memphis is not a static city; but instead is a city in the midst of progress; one continuing to move forward into tomorrow. With the 27ew terminal in the background, a 727 unloads its passengers at the International Airport. 185 Jolly Ox, Clark Towers Mark East Memphis fl i V ' ' ■ ' • ut isSf ' The UP Bank, constructed in 1967, was the first large building in East Memphis. 186 Students at MUS see all of Memphis as their home; however, the majority of spare time is spent in East Memphis. This section of the city not only serves as the educational center but as the social center of their life as well. East Memphis not only has the traditional stores and drive-ins to offer; but also has many exceptional establishments for entertainment. On an average weekend, MUS students can be seen frequenting such spots as the Malco Quartet, Pizza Inn, the Fare Four, the Knickerbocker, and the ever-popular Jolly Ox. But East Memphis is probably better knov ni for its large business output. Such spots as Clark Tower and the Union Planters Bank building are landmarks on the Memphis landscape. Thus, East Memphis can be seen as exemplifying the traditional mood of Memphis activity and growth.

How the surveys were made: One of the best-known research firms in America conducted these studies of independent TV service technicians ' attitudes toward brands of color television in both 1972 and 1973. And in both years Zenith was named as the brand needing fewest repairs, as shown in the 1973 chart below. To eliminate the factor of loyalty to a single brand, the studies included only shops which serviced more than one brand of color TV. Telephone interviews were conducted with TV service technicians themselves in April, 1972 and April, 1973, in more than 170 cities from coast to coast. Survey details are available on request. QUESTION. In general, of the brands you are familiar with, which one would you say requires the fewest repairs? ANSWERS: Zenith 35% Brand A 14% Brand B 11% Brand C 5% Brand D 3% Brand E 3% Brand F 2% Brand G 2% Brand H 2% Brand I 1% Other Brands 2% About Equal 13% Don ' t Know 11% Note: Answers total more than 100% ® The quality goes in because some TV service technicians be ore the name goes on ' name more than one brand.

Thanks ! People don ' t often realize how much work goes into a yearbook. The seemingly-simple appearance of the Owl in the spring is in reality the end product of thousands of hours of work by many students. And this past year has involved just as much, if not more, work than other years. One of the most important factors in the quality of the Owl was the enormously successful ad campaign. In raising $5,975, Randal Sellers did an excellent job as ad campaign manager. Also, Frank Crawford ' s chapel promotion antics gave the book a real boost. Don Hawkes sold $380 worth of ads to lead all salesmen. And Coach Lawson persuaded his classes to sell over $1,000 of ads. Finally, I want to give my personal thanks to the entire student body for their overwhelming support in the ad campaign. Also, thanks to Beth Williford for her offer of a free date to a lucky ad salesman. A yearbook is basically a picture book. And credit for the pictures, both black and white and color, goes completely to staff photographers. They were Kelly Koeller (Photography Editor), Robert Tooms, Ed Curry, Albert Laabs, George Bryn, and Will Chase. These guys spent an amazing number of hours in shooting and reshooting the thousands of pictures used in producing the Owl. In addition, the darkroom staff put in hundreds of hours of developing, printing, reprinting, and even rereprinting. Darkroom workers included Bobby Stevenson (Darkroom Editor), Ed Curry, Robert Tooms, Clay Robertson, Brett Bonner, Tary Arterburn, Tom Edmonson, Jay Norfleet, Ronnie Kirkpatrick, Chuck Degan, Hayden Eldridge, and Larry Hatchett. A good book demands a good staff, and 1974 was no exception to this rule. Mounds of captions and typing were the main preoccupations of the staff. Working till twelve o ' clock on deadline nights, fast- fingered Richard Ashley, John Wepfer, and Tom May were the main stays of the typing staff. However many Saturday mornings found Hadley Butler, Keith Sellers, Mark Wiygul, Don Harkness, Billy Russom, Doug Ray, Morris Jones, Sandy Eraser, Neil Townsend, John Lammons, Nathan Hightower, Mike Langley, Bo Briggs, Dick Fletcher, Mark Ruleman, Albert Jones, Gregg Drew, Stilly McFadden, and Caroline Jones working on the Owl. Also, Mark Ruleman (Night Life) and Tom Preston (Honor Code) deserve a word of gratitude for writing copy for us. Of course, the editors did most of the actual work on the Owl. 1 want to particularly thank Walker Sims and Charles Stockley for joining the staff with absolutely no experience and little free time. But all the editors deserve a word of praise for the unreal amounts of time they spent in doing the best possible job on their sections. Other editors were Ronnie Caldwell, Randal Sellers, John Marcom, Andrew Wu, Tary Arterburn, Dan Boone, John Semmes, Roger Winfrey, John Owen, and Kenny Kyle. These guys did 90 per cent of the work and any credit for the quality of the Owl should go to them. Many people gave us aid in special areas. Mr. Melvin Cooper gave us technical advice on how to deal with almost anything that went awry. Mr. Snowden loaned us a trailer to work in, and Mr. Tom Wells gave us carpet for it. In addition, Mr. Bill Ward, our school-day pictures cameraman, deserves thanks for his patience in dealing with us. A well-done cover was produced for us by Mr. Bill Fitzgibbons, and Tary Arterburn was the creator of our endsheets. Finally a word of thanks goes to Nickey Drake, our company representative. He helped us get almost everything that we wanted, and the technical quality of the book was in his hands. A good adviser is an invaluable basis for a good staff, and Mr. Ellis Haguewood was just such a basis for the 1974 Owl. His ability to organize the editors and the darkroom, and to keep people working was indeed amazing. Though his efforts were often behind the scenes, he was the one who kept us going when we were all too tired to finish. I wish to give a personal word of thanks to all those teachers who accepted my overdue papers and assignments. Without this understanding, I doubt that I would have made it through the year. In sum , the 1974 Owl was the result of the concern and work of many people, not just a few staffers. So to all of you — thanks. 252 1974 Owl Editors Malcolm Pearson . . .

The lack of interest in traditional areas such as the cheering at games caused us to wonder if we really cared for anything besides ourselves anymore. But we worried needlessly. We didn ' t realize that MUS had changed since the days that our traditions had begun. More than ever before, life in the 1974 MUS community meant a concern for each other. The frequent fighting of five or six years ago had gradually given way to talking out disagreements. And a subtle atmosphere of concern for an individual ' s mental, physical, academic, athletic, and social well-being marked MUS from the lounge to the library. More than any other year, 1974 was a year for us to really care for each other. In escape from the lounge noise, Allan Everett finds solitude in the shade of the front door columns as he munches his Fritos. Editor ' s Note The 1974 Owl now comes to a close, and the work of putting together a yearbook has come to an end. It is my deepest hope that as the years pass, this book will provide a brief taste of the sights, sounds, and emotions of the 1974 school year. As with past years, 1974 has not been a constant bed of roses. There have been successes and failures, both personal and school-wide. But after all the triumphs and disappointments, one feeling remains with me — MUS is a great school, and I will always be proud to have been a .student here.
