Every year over 600 people join to create the character of MUS for that given year. The school facilities will always be here, but what makes MUS special is the people, both faculty members and students. Every year a new generation of seventh- graders enters MUS. Each of these boys learns the way of life at MUS and contnbutes his bit to the image of the school. Every spring a crop of seniors is lost to graduation. And yet, Ufe at MUS goes on. Faculty members come and go. New teachers arrive to make their mark on the school; some older instructors leave for various reasons. Despite the changes in personnel, the established teachers, like Col. Lynn, Mr. Thorn, and Mr. Hatchett, keep MUS moving in the same stable direction — up. Every teacher unites to form a well-educated, interested, and helpful faculty. The personality of the school may change from year to year, but the tradition promotes stability. The character of the students and faculty in each different year portrays the varying face of the MUS image. 4 OPENING vTtsajm ria Silling on the sidelines during the Craigmonl victory, reserve Quarterback Jon Scharff watches the offensive action on the field. Little did Jon know that he would have to enter the next game because of an injury to the starting QB. The inexperienced Scharff led the team to fine showings in all three games that he played extensively in. « ;. ? ' ■ ■ I . 1 v H A I the Family Festival Mark Crosby pauses for a moment in front of the dunking tank — an attraction which was a favorite at the Fest. Other Festival diversions included food, games, art, music, and other entertainment, all of which was arranged for by the Student Council. The event marked the first major undertaking by the Student Council and was a financial success. £ ' ? • ♦ -% A 3bMt ' ' t MUS began in 1955 with a small plant on 96 acres of undeveloped land. The school was in the country outside Memphis. As the years have passed, MUS has grown both in its facilities and its enrollment to its present value of $6.5 million. In 1962 the Hyde Chapel was completed. In 1970 the Hyde Library and Hull Lower School were finished. The Fisher Fine Arts Wing was built in 1975 to allow a broadened Fine Arts program. Each phase of development has permitted an increase in enrollment, as well as an improvement in the curriculum at MUS. Once again, in 1978 plans began to materialize for expanding. The $900 thousand McCaughan Science Building will provide the facilities for an enlarged science program. In an effort to allow space for future growth, a 13,000-foot basement will be left unfinished. The basement will allow later expansion without great cost. Construction and physical improvements have been a part of life at MUS for 24 years. The school constantly upgrades its physical plant in order to allow its students greater opportunities. As the MUS plant grows, so does the quality of an MUS education. The campus and its modifications reflect the needs of MUS. The increasing physical and financial needs of MUS mirror the changing times. THE MUS CAMPUS CHANGING WITH THE TIMES While a football game is in progress, Emory Miles does a back-flip off the pyramid of human bodies, as an awe-struck Henry Caldwell looks on. The boy cheerleaders once again were a welcome addition to the girl cheerleaders, thanks to their acrobatic ability and added lung power. MUS TRADITION THE LINK OF OLD WITH NEW Mr. William Hatchett lectures to his tenth-grade English class. Mr. Hatchett, who has been at MUS since 1957, decorates his room with assorted paraphernalia and memorabilia. His room, ornamented by his many pictures, is a tradition at MUS. As much as schools change, tradition remains the same at MUS. MUS stands for excellence, honesty, and integrity — whatever the year is. MUS students represent the school well in the classroom and on the field. Academic excellence is a trademark of MUS. From the Class of ' 79, there were more National Merit Semifinalists (14) than ever before. In sports, MUS athletes display their pride in the school by their winning and by their sportsmanship. The school has achieved notice for its excellence in the performing arts — music and theatre. MUS publications have been recognized for their superiority. Individual students have been praised for their leadership in the school and in the community. The faculty also is of excellent quality. No matter who leads the school, MUS upholds its tradition of quality — a belief handed down from generation to generation of MUS students. From the oldest Senior to the youngest seventh-grader, almost every person has pride in MUS. Each faculty member and administrator has the same feeling. The final goal at MUS is overall excellence, and the aim can be achieved no matter who attends the school. The MUS tradition binds the old school with the new students. MUS tradition is the link of old with new. 8 OPENING Junior Juliett Wat kins contemplates her next cheer in the Briarcrest pep rally. Juliett was one of the ten Hutchison girls on the cheering squad. The cheerleaders from Hutch are a traditional bond between the two schools. - The New Headmaster ' MUS Will Be Second to None 55 In its first 23 years MUS knew only one headmaster — Ross M. Lynn, the Colonel . In 1978 following Col. Lynn ' s retirement, a new skipper took over to guide the MUS ship. Mr. D. Eugene Thorn, although no new face at the school (he was Associate Headmaster for 1 1 years), was the unanimous choice of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Thorn stepped into a demanding position. Maintaining the MUS program was challenging enough in itself; succeeding the inimitable Col. Lynn was an unenviable task. Mr. Thorn proved equal to the demands of the position. His main goal was to keep the school moving in a progressive direction. As Mr. Thorn said, We go only one way and that is up . . . MUS will be second to none. Striving to maintain the overall quality that MUS has attained in 23 years was the chief aim of Mr. Thorn ' s first year as headmaster. Buoyed by an able and enthusiastic faculty, a vibrant Student Council and Honor Council, and a high caliber student body, Mr. Thorn predicted great things for his first year. He said, Col. Lynn and the Board of Trustees set the tone of MUS, and now it ' s our job to carry on. Not only to carry on, but also to improve the MUS tradition of excellence. Under the leadership of Mr. Thorn, MUS will be second to none! Mr. Thorn strains to hear a muffled student body response to his exhortations for 15 short and snappy rahs. Leading the cheer at the Bnarcrest pep rally is one of the traditional duties of the headmaster. Distressed hv his choice of courses, Newman Cross asks Mr. Thorn for advice. As the new head, Mr. Thorn made himself available for conferences with the students. 10 OPENING m . TRANSITION 1 1 OLD FACES 111 IVEW PLACES In an effort to brush up on the current trends of college life, Mr. Robert Boelte flips through the screenplay oi Animal House. Mr. Boelte stepped up to become College Counsellor and Head of the Admissions Board. After the abolition of his former post (Academic Dean), Mr. Leigh MacQueen was promoted to a position as Principal of the Upper School. Even though he still supervised curriculum, his new position was somewhat different from Academic Dean; one primary difference was his being allowed to sit on stage during chapel. His main responsibility as Principal, though, was the day-to-day operation of the Upper School. 12 OPENING In the newly created position, Director of Alumni Relations, Colonel Ross M. Lynn ' s primary objective was to raise money for the new science wing, which would house all science facilities for the school. He also promoted more alumni activities in order to unite the Alumni Association. Mr. John Keesee looks on with Mr. Peters as the track team competes in the District Meet. Mr. Keesee returned to MLIS after a one-year hiatus to coach track, cross-country, and basketball, as well as Physical Education. Mr. Jerry Peters beams with pride after being informed that his latest Saturday School list was of record-breaking length. Almost every MUS student was. at some time, on a list to see Mr. Peters as a result of his position as Administrative Assistant. The new office ' s duties included processing tardies and absences, heading the Discipline Committee, and over.seeing Senior Privileges. TRANSITION 13 14 DnBmwiMnBHnMVNKamaBBmnvHK EVENT John Walt and C ' p Wood join fellow candidates stationed outside the gym in last-ditch attempts to influence voters. Despite then- efforts, both lost close run-off elections. John ran for President of the Student Council and Chip was in the Secretary-Treasurer race. In an effort to sway votes, three candidates brought the well-known blues player Mose Vinson to Hyde Chapel. Anticipated to be a highlight of the week ' s entertamment, his piano playing left perhaps only Mose himself drooling. 16 STUDENT LIFE ELECTIONS Candidates ' Week-Long Grasps for Leadership Roles Spring elections for the Student Council offices of the ' 78- ' 79 year breathed life into a student body that was trudging through the post-spring-break stretch. Immediate student interest came with the arrival of election week. Hungry for any break in the routine, students enjoyed a diversion, elections, that is theoretically a serious part of the system. When the Red and Blue conventions selected their candidates, and petitions for office began to circulate, each candidate had feelings of apprehension and enthusiam — apprehension about the load of work that lay ahead and enthusiam about the chance to have a good time and be the center of attention for one week. Many candidates burst forth immediately with their campaigns. The prospective office- holders and their friends organized campaigns based on both traditional objectives and new ideas. Hours of planning were spent at both the candidates ' houses and at school. By the second or third day of work, however, much of the enthusiasm had been replaced by fatigue and worry. Many hopefuls spent much of their time on the Freshman and Sophomore classes in an effort to involve them in the politics of the school. All who took part in the elections plastered the walls with posters and passed out candy in an all-out effort to make themselves known to the student body. Some made phone calls to students whom they did not even know; others used intimidation as a means of getting votes. Most of the last night was spent preparing the all-important campaign speech. The candidates used almost every possible method to attract attention to themselves and to appeal to the students for votes. A few, however, took their quests for votes too far and actually lost popularity. Thursday morning, after the speeches were completed, candidates heaved a sigh of relief. The polls would open soon; election week was almost over. Many of the students who were running had felt, for the first time, that they were really a part of MUS. These students now had a chance to fill the positions that they had admired others in just a year before. Some would leave school that day ecstatic with joy , others with a sense of noble disappointment. But all would depart with a feeling of accomplishment. As the winners were announced Thursday afternoon, the chapel was filled with anticipation. Each candidate waited patiently for his name to be called. He knew that the eventful week would determine conclusively the role that he would play in the school year to come. As the victors ' names were called, one could sense the feelings of elation and accomplishment that filled each winner. But once the celebration time was over, the new Student Council leaders knew that they had to begin thinking seriously about their new jobs and responsibilities in the not-so-distant future. The fun of election week was over; it was now time to be serious about their responsibilities as school leaders. Unable lo cope with election-week stress, candidate Breck Bolton is dnven to Kleptomania. During a free period, Breck makes an ingenious attempt at stealing votes by retagging an opponent ' s candy with his own name. SPRING 17 Owls Finish Strong Second in MUS Invitational Despite Key Injuries Peters Takes Fourth in State 880 With Career Best The track team faced a tough schedule. The season consisted of three triangular meets, two dual meets, the Hardmg Invitational, and the prestigious MUS Invitational. The first meet pitted the runners against Catholic and SBEC. It was no contest as MUS outscored second- place Catholic by 82 points, the Owls taking first-place finishes in 15 events. Three days later the trackmen hosted Briarcrest. MUS finished on the losing end of the score as the Saints won 83- 50. Despite the loss, the Owls produced some outstanding individual performances. MUS swept the discus with Tommy Chnstenbury, Brad Adams, and Bob Robmson placing 1, 2, 3 respectively. The two-mile relay team of Tim Greer, Judd Peters, Henry Caldwell, and Jeff Peters won with a time of 8:24.9. In a later contest the Owls faced Bishop Byrne and Memphis Prep. Neither team posed much of a threat as the team ran away with a solid victory Joe Morrison continued his consistently good pole-vaulting with a winning height of 1 1 feet. Other first- place finishers were Robert Ashley, Boyd Wade, Conrad McCrary, Phillip McNeill, and the 2-mile relay team. Injuries kept the Owls from performing well at the Harding Invitational. A partial team was entered in hopes of having a healthy team for the District and Regional meets. A week later MUS hosted Harding and CoUierville in the last triangular meet of the year. Harding proved to be too tough, as MUS had to settle for second place. Morrison won the pole- vault again, and Jeff Peters won the 880-yard run. The most challenging competition thus far was encountered in the MUS Invitation al, next on the agenda. Eight teams were entered. Harding, led by their fine distance runners, nipped MUS for first place, 78-71. Although Christenbury was hurt, he participated in two field events, the shot put and discus, and won them both. Morrison vaulted 1 1 ' : feet, his best effort of the year. Jeff Peters had his best meet of the year. He ran the anchor leg of the 2- mile relay, won the 880, and ran the In the meei against arch-rival Briarcrest, Jeff Peters laces his shoes in preparation for the 880-run. Peters, who dominated the 880 all season long, reached the State where he ran a personal best 1:57.1. final leg on the winning mile-relay team. For his efforts, Peters was awarded the medal for the Outstanding Athlete. After the MUS Invitational, the team competed in the District Meet at Memphis State ' s Kennedy Complex. MUS ' only first-place finisher was Jeff Peters in the 880 run with a time of 2:00. Others that quahfied for the Regional were Adams, Christenbury, Morrison, and Albert Ray. The Regional Meet proved very tough as Jeff Peters was the only runner to qualify for the State. The State Meet in Nashville motivated Peters ' best race of the year. He brought his time down two seconds to 1:57.1 for a fourth-place finish.

They had only three meets, two of thern regular meets and the third the District, the JV Owls winning all three. The JV ' s steadily improved over the year. In the first meet MUS beat Germantown and Harding 66-60-49 respectively. Robert Ashley turned in a good meet, by placing in four events. Ashley, along with Mark Bilsky, Jimmy Allen, and Cannon Allen, ran in the 440-relay and placed second. Ashley was on the 880-relay team which also placed second. Joe Francis, Mark Schaefer, and Sidney Kriger were the other relayers. Ashley also ran on the mile relay, along with Davant Latham, Francis, and Don Miller. They too placed second. A shley placed fourth in the long jump to round out his performance. Cannon Allen contributed in three events by coming in second in the high jump and the 440 dash and being on the 440-relay team. George Skouteris captured first in both the shot put and the discus. MUS held off an improved Harding team, beating them 68 to 58. Briarcrest came in third with 45 points. Ashley and Cannon Allen repeated their performance from the previous meet with the exception of the relay teams which placed first and second. Skouteris again took first place in the throwing events. Keith Christenbury and Greg Graflund both placed in the high and intermediate hurdles. Judd Peters placed first in the 880 run. The last meet was the District. The JV ' s again thwarted Harding, their nearest competitor, and three other teams. Ashley and Cannon Allen again pulled another repeat of their previous performances. Bilsky and Kriger placed in both the 100 and 220 dashes. Christenbury and Graflund both placed in the intermediate and high hurdles. Skouteris placed in the shot and the discus, while Peters placed first in the 880. ; llic nisirii I IV Hack iiiCL ' l. Caiiiioii Allen cleais yi 1 1,1 take I ' lisl plaee.

TRACK 21 Golfers Stroke Their Way to Second Place in District Linksmen Post Winning Record Against Stiff Competition In recent years MUS has consistently fielded one of the strongest golf teams in the area. And again this year, under first-year coach Mark Ramsey, the golf team was one of the strongest in an area of very strong golf teams. The team finished with a winning 5-3 record in competition with West Tennessee ' s finest golf squads. The team was optimistic at the start of the season. As always, rivals CBHS and Harding would have to be reckoned with, since both of these teams possessed a wealth of talent that could not be ignored. Provided that the Owls could overcome these two obstacles, chances of another District title appeared bright. The Owls gathered momentum early in ihe season, posting easy wins over ( ollierville and Auburndale in their InNi iwo outings. However, the true test lor the linksmen was their next two matches against Christian Brothers and Harding. The Brothers proved to be too much for the Owls. A lack of consistency hindered the team. Led by Bill Mace ' s 74. the Owls totaled 315, with two golfers over 80. Coming off this loss to CBHS, the linksmen carded their lowest score(301)of the season, only to lose to a fine Harding team by four shots. The team didn ' t take long to get back on the winning track. The Owls posted three straight victories over Memphis Prep, Bishop Byrne, and Catholic. Their record was 5-2 with one match remainmg. Surprisingly, a tough SBEC squad spoiled the team ' s final outing, leaving the linksmen with a 5-3 mark on the year. One week after the SBEC match, the District Tournament was played at Galloway. In this competition the Owls placed second behind CBHS. Daniel Brown advanced to the Regionals after shooting a round of 78 in the District. Starting for the Owls this season were Seniors Rob Preston, John Atwood, Daniel Brown, and Junior Bill Mace. Preston and Atwood were consistent performers for the Owls; Preston averaged 76 strokes per round, Atwood 77, Preston, a four-year letterman, copped theTreadwell- Condon Golf Trophy. - t ' si.i a ■ ' -: - Trapped in the sand, John Atwood blasts his way out in an attempt to save par against his Bishop Byrne opponents.

GOLF GOLF 23 ' Mit J iMti-Jiciiltiliiii . ' Directing his first spring musical at MUS, Mr. Saunders chose the King and I because it allowed the involvement of younger students and thus helped to rebuild the program. The story deals with the effect that a tutor from England has on her new environment, Siam, after being brought over to teach the King ' s children. The Kmg orders his children to listen and learn from their new teacher, Anna, but he himself can not leave behind his old ways. This conflict between Anna ' s Western ideas and the stubborn traditions of the King arises in humorous episodes throughout the play. The lead voices were handled ably by Chris Cartmill (the King), Jeanne Thurman (Anna), and Debbie Jones (Lady Thiang). The sets, painted by Mr. Herbert, added an Oriental allure to the production that was immediately apparent. Mr. Saunders, who did an excellent job, was aided by two graduating seniors. Skip Jones was assigned the task of Assistant Director and Charles Webb took charge of the choreography. Convening in a more western outlook, the King (Chris Cartmill) pnvatel studies the Bible. Although not solely religious in outlook, the play s major message was evangelistic.

Responsible for this amazing feat were senior players Tiger Buford and Scott Hale, who led the team to a remarkable record of 14-1. In the District lournament MUS compiled enough points to overshadow Ridgeway in winning the title. Tiger Buford lost to Cliff Jones in a tiebreaker, and Scott Hale beat his opponent to place third. The two seniors combined t o easily win the doubles championship. Thejubilant Owls then proceeded to the Regional Tournament where they easily outscored a highly rated Germantown team 15-7 to win the Regional title. Tiger Buford got his revenge as he once again faced Ridgeway ' s Cliff Jones in the singles finals. Buford beat him 4-6, 6-4 7-6, and 5-1 in the tiebreaker. Hale lost a tough match to place fourth, but Hale and Buford had no trouble at all in taking the doubles title for the Owls. However, in the state tennis tournament, the going got a little tougher for the two seniors. Hale lost a tough match in the quarterfinals while Buford advanced to the singles finals. Tiger Buford faced a tough opponent in Joel Mulkin of Baylor, but Buford was victorious beating Mulkin 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. On the same day. Hale and Buford defeated the Montgomery Bell Academy doubles team of Dave Templeton and Fred Ayres 6- 4, 7-6 to win the doubles title and give MUS the state championship of the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association. 26 SPORTS MUS Post-Season Performance Nets Grand Slam Finish Owls Capture District, Regional, and State Crowns With a forehand horn the baseline. Sonny Bratton returns his Auburndale opponent ' s shot. Bratton won this match and three doubles matches during the season. The Year of the Owls definitely applied to the tennis team. After a large turnout. Coach Taylor picked what looked to be a great team, with all the lettermen, from last year ' s team returning. The top seven players were Tiger Buford, Scott Hale, Billy Lewis, Henry Hancock, Bill Noah, Chip Grayson, and Philip Adams. The Owls found competition in the Memphis area severely lacking. Coach Taylor played many lower- ranked players to give them experience for next season. Searching for competition to prepare the team for the State Tournament, the netmen went on a state-wide tour. Two weeks before the trip, the Owls had defeated Montgomery Bell Academy 6-3, the first time in five years the Owls had defeated MBA. On the trip the netmen faced BGA, Baylor, then the Chattanooga Rotary Invitational. Defeating BGA, the Owls lost to Baylor 8-1 with Tiger Buford providing the only win for MUS. The netmen then entered the Rotary, which included 32 of the top teams from Tennessee and Georgia. MUS did surprisingly well with a sixth-place finish. The team came back to play Germantown before entering the District Tournament. It was no surprise that the senior-dominated team won the District, with Buford and Hale finishing second and third respectively in singles and first in doubles. Buford and Hale again won the doubles, and Buford won the singles with Hale finishing fourth to net the Regional title for MUS. Then, in the State Tournament, Tiger Buford won the singles competition, and Buford and Hale combined to win the championship, which gave MUS the state tennis title. A truly spectacular finish for one of MUS ' s finest tennis teams ever! Fourth-seeded Bill Lewis sends a two-handed backhand to his SBEC opponent. Lewis, who played number one in this match, won 8-0. Lewis had a seasonal record of 10-2 in singles with his losses coming against Baylor and MBA, and 7-3 in doubles. Bill Noah scoops up a backhand volley en route to an easy two-set victory over his Germantown adversary. Noah, behind his hard serves and aggressive net play, ran up a 10-2 record. TENNIS TENNIS 27 In the true athletic spirit of MUS, the spring of 1978 saw the rebirth of baseball at school. Coach Joe Davis was a key figure in getting the team organized. Despite the fine coaching of Davis and Coach Johnny Duke and the ability of the players, the squad struggled through a season of disappointing losses, posting a record of 2-17. The season started with a 2-0 loss to a very tough Memphis Prep team. The Buzzards then proceeded to thrash Wooddale 8-3, making the future look momentarily bright. However, the team lost ten more games before gaining another victory. Many of these ten games were one-or two-run heartbreakers lost in the last inning. The Owls stopped their losing streak by Baseball — The Great American Pastime Comes Back to MUS Owls Slug It Out Through Disappointing Season handily defeating a rugged Germantown team 12-6. Unfortunately it was the last victory of the season for the Buzzards. The team was led in hitting by Albert Ray. Ray had an average of .393, thirteen RBFs, and three home runs to lead the team in each of these categories. Most Valuable Player Carter Rise andjunior Kendall Crawford tied for the honor of most hits with 19 apiece. David Caldweh and Rush WaUer had eleven and ten RBI ' s respectively. In the running department. Chip Lansden and Kendall Crawford both stole seven bases. The pitching staff included Albert Ray, Andy Lee, Dean Underwood, and Forrest Howse with Ray and Lee being credited with MUS ' only two wins. Using the experience learned, the baseball players and fans can look forward to better times for the Owls. Coach Joe Davis looks on from the third- base coaching box.

With their days of freedom numbered, however, many MUS students refused to let the strikes and curfews interfere with their nocturnal activities. Lee Nichols was often seen daydreaming about his future on the pro tour while caddying for Marty Fleckman during the 1978 Danny Thomas Classic.

As students return for the first days of school, the Senior Hall is once again filled with confusion and bustle of everyday school life. In an effort to keep the noise down to a dull roar in the lunch line, the administration adopted a new policy — a two-minute stagger system to alleviate the lunch line problems. Bob Boats works on a design for Mr. Saunders in the solitude of the Mechanical Drawing classroom. The course helps to prepare students who plan to go into fields such as architecture or engineering, and it also allows the corner room of the library ' s second floor to serve a useful purpose.

PRACTICE 41 Defense Blanks Craigmont With Memorable Goal-line Stands Vulnerable Pass Defense, Inexperience, Injuries Frustrate Team Early in the season, the word injuries was often on the lips of Owl supporters. Players Jack Stokes and John Walt had had dramatic comebacks from injuries suffered last year. Other key Buzzards received injuries during the first 3 games of the season. Quarterback Rush Waller fractured his hand, and Rick Thorton broke his arm against Memphis Prep. But fans also spoke of victory as the Owls won their season opener with a 14-0 shutout of Craigmont. On the first play from scrimmage, Robert Ashley streaked 80 yards for a touchdown. The other score came when Cam McCaa rambled into the endzone after the defense had held Craigmont on fourth down at the MUS 5-yard line. Walt hit both extra points. (Injured against the Chiefs last year, Walt was told he could never again participate in high school athletics. But he worked hard to become the team ' s place-kicker.) The tough defense of the Owls was the key to the win. Instead of becoming the close defensive struggle expected, the game against revenge-bent Briarcrest was an offensive slugfest. The Owls were outgained and lost before an estimated crowd of 5000. The loss ended a 4-year streak of MUS domination over Briarcrest. After the Saints scored first, the Owls, led by a 36-yard pass from Rush Waller to Greg Meyer, answered with Ashley ' s 2-yard burst. Later, Keith May chalked up six on a 26-yaYd sprint into the endzone. The next MUS score came when Waller raced 71 yards for the touchdown. Walt added all three extra-points, but MUS still trailed 28-21 at the half. Near the end of the half, Waller fractured his right hand and, as a result, had to miss the next two games. In the second half, Jon Scharff kept MUS alive with a 31 -yard pass to Jack Stokes. Freshman Steve Lawrence capped the drive with a 15- yard run. This touchdown knotted the score at 28. The TD was, however, the final MUS score as Briarcrest outscored the Buzzards to win 49-28. A revitalized and refreshed Owl team faced highly regarded Memphis Prep. Prep, seeking revenge for its lone district defeat last season, fielded a powerful offense, along with a stingy defense. The Owls ' offense geared up to take a 7-6 lead at the half. May scored the TD on an 84-yard scamper. MUS was unable to score in the third quarter, but the defense allowed only a field goal to give the Panthers a narrow 9-7 lead. Early in the fourth quarter. Prep scored again to take a 15-7 lead. Then the defense stiffened to force the Panthers to cough up the football on their own twenty with less than 2 minutes remaining. However, MUS was unable to convert the excellent field position into a score and lost the ball on fourth down. The Owls ' inability to move the football spelled defeat, despite the defense ' s effort. Battling in an offensive slugfest, Keith May prepares to attack a wall of Briarcrest defenders. Moments later. May broke away for a 26-yard touchdown run. May, who was known for his sparkling open-field running ability, also ran well behind his blockers. 42 SPORTS Exhorting his teammates to greater efforts. Senior John Walt anxiously watches the action during the Craigmont game. Seniors had an important role in preparing the new and inexperienced players for the season as the team was a young one. Greg Meyer writhes in excruciating pain while he suffers leg cramps in the Briarcrest game. Meyer was able to return to action later, but several of the Owls were not so fortunate. The severity of injuries ranged from missing a game to missing a whole season. Rush Waller outdistances the Briarcrest defenders in a 71-yard touchdown gallop. The play was one of Waller ' s last before he received his injury. Although the offense executed extremely well through most of the contest, the Saints ' offense was more consistent, outscoring MUS 49-28. FOOTBALL 43 00 O O 44 SPORTS An added dimension to the MUS Wishbone was the passing threat of the quarterback. Rush Waller sparked the offense in the SBEC victory by completing key passes to the Owl receivers. The Owl defensive squad swarms on the Bnarcrest return-man to aid tackier Robert Ashle . The usually stingy defense was unable to contain the Saints, as they romped for a total of 49 points. Keith May turns the corner as he heads in for the second of his two touchdowns against SBhC , The Trojan defense was unable to stop an of the Owl running backs, as the offense amassed 4( 4 yards total rushing. May proved to be untouchable as he raced for a school single-game rushing record of 227 yards. W May Races to Single-Game Record in District Victory Over SBEC Defense Plays Tough in Second-Halves; Offense Unable to Sustain Drives Greg Meyer holds for kicker John Walt as he gives MUS a precarious 14-7 cushion over SBEC. During the season Walt hit 1 8 out of 1 9 extra-points. In an effort to come off a two- game losing streak, the battered Owls, still missing injured quarterback Waller, faced a fired- up Harding team. The Buzzards, under the leadership of Scharff, marched down the field to allow May to run it in from the 3-yard line. Walt ' s extra-point was good to give the Owls a 7-0 lead. The defense held the Lions to no score in the first quarter, but Harding opened up a passing attack for several key plays to set up their two scores in the second quarter. Harding took a 14-7 lead into the locker room. The second half proved to be a defensive struggle. MUS could not sustain a drive to set up another tally, as the final score remained 14-7 in favor of Harding. Without a league win through 4 games, the Owls faced district rival SBEC. MUS, with Waller back at the helm, seemed to be rejuvenated and eager for a victory. May opened the scoring on a 47-yard run, and Lawrence scurried in from the 5 to give M US a quick 1 4-0 lead. However, a sudden defensive letdown at the end of the half allowed SBEC to pass for two quick touchdowns to tie up the game. An enthusiastic Buzzard team came out the second half ready to do battle. Lawrence broke loose again for an 87-yard TD. The conversion failed, and MUS had only a slim 20-14 lead. In the fourth quarter, the Owls put the game out of reach, as May had a 37- yarder and McCaa burst over from the 3-yard line. The MUS defense stopped the Trojans cold in the second half. May rushed for a total of 227 yards to set a school record for single- game rushing. Elated over a good win, the Owls faced a tough Bishop Byrne squad. In a lackluster performance, MUS was beaten soundly. The offense could not get the ball rolling as the Buzzards were blanked 17-0 by Bishop Byrne. The shutout was the first against an MUS team in the last 3 years. The Red Knights ' aerial attack burned the secondary for 2 touchdowns in the second quarter. May rushed for 80 yards on 17 carries, but his effort was not enough as the Owls were unable to move the football against a hard- hitting Bishop Byrne team. The loss let the team ' s record slip to 2-4. Quarterback Jon Sc kj ff examines the Memphis Prep defensive line from a new perspective. Scharff, who replaced the injured Rush Waller, had to learn fast, as he faced three tough opponents in Briarcrest, Memphis Prep, and Harding.

Commissioner of Spirit David Dunlap unabashedly flashes a smile, while a cheerful Grace Wilson pleads for vocal support from the lackadaisical MUS crowd at the Craigmont game. At various social rendezvous later that night, some unnamed students complained that the game had been boring because of the lack of scoring; these people got what they asked for with the following week ' s 28-49 loss to Briarcrest. Although a disappointing football season dampened fall spirit, the true core of student body spirit was strengthened by the forced education of losing. The football team failed to achieve the impossible standards of the ' 77 team, and spoiled by the ease of supporting the previous championship squad, a part of the student body became apathetic about football spirit and everything else that school spirit encompassed. Yet those who had a well- grounded feeling for MUS accepted the abrupt reversal, even the humiliating loss to Briarcrest, as part of the struggle which tested true spirit. The undying supporters of MUS made continued appeals to their fellow students to remain loyal. Two high points resulting from revived support were the pleasant surprise of a Homecoming victory and the almost major upset of highly rated Germantown. In other areas of fall spirit, support from the students was not particularly high; however, individual groups seemed to excel. The soccer team received little more notice than past squads despite coming within one win of taking the state championship. Few members of the Pep Club knew that the ninth-grade offense ran the Wishbone better than any previous freshman team. Even the Student Council ' s Family Fest was not attended well by MUS students. Yet, as the leaves fell from the trees and birds chirped and were shot at, school spirit rallied around the basketball team. Student support became unified as the team destroyed its first six opponents before the Christmas exam break.

After the first half. MUS trailed 14-7. The Buzzards ' only score had been a 14-yard pass completion from Waller to Ashley. In the second half, however, an awakened defense held Catholic scoreless. The offense also responded. A 16-yard TD pass to Jack Stokes knotted the score at 14. The defense provided help when Stokes intercepted a screen pass. MUS converted the Charger turnover into six points on McCaa ' s 1-yard run, and the Owl were 21-14 Homecoming victors. Collierville, MUS ' next opponent, needed a win in order to have a chance for post-season play. In a defensive struggle, the Dragons got on the scoreboard first, but McCaa ' s 1- yard dive tied the score. Collierville, however, scored in the third quarter to take the lead, and MUS lost the game despite outgaining the Dragons in total yards. In an effort to salvage the season, the Buzzards badly wanted to upset highly rated Germantown. After being beaten soundly in the first half, MUS trailed 21-7. At the beginning of the final 24 minutes, an inspired MUS team emerged from the locker room. Keith May (who had 196 yards) and Robert Ashley began running over the Red Devil defense. The offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage, and the Owls were able to sustain drives. MUS narrowed the gap to 21-14 on Waller ' s 1-yard keeper. In the fourth quarter, McCaa crossed the goal-line to cap another MUS drive. On the extra point Germantown blocked Walt ' s kick; the Devils were offside, however. After the penalty and a timeout. Coach Rudolph elected to go for two in order to win. The Germantown defense foiled the Buzzards ' bid for two points. The Red Devils, who headed for the state playoffs, escaped with a narrow 21-20 victory. The offensive line came alive in the second half to provide the Owls with enough support to almost defeat Germantown. The Ime consisted of Jerry Bryson. Chip Wood. David Percer.

A revitalized Owl defense swarms a Germantown runner as the defense held the Red Devils scoreless in the second half, after allowing Germantown 21 points in the first half. FOOTBALL 49 Emerging from the darkness, members of the team take the field after the halftime festivities of Homecoming. MUS offensive drives dominated the second half after minor adjustments were made in the line ' s Texas blocking (also, the defense began shooting the weakside linebacker on y- passes), and the team defeated Catholic 21-14. This unexpected win highlighted the night ' s activities. A group ofstudents worked many hours to build a Homecoming float for the girls, but. as a result of heavy rains before the game, the float couldn ' t be used to carry the court onto the field. However, the efforts of the students did prove that some at MUS had undying spirit. ? an attempt to loosen up the team. Coach Rudolph did an Elvis imitation and gave his pre-game talk during the Friday morning pep rally. Although Coach Rudolph ' s act waslhe surprise of the chapel program, an interesting slide show received more attention. The ensuing actions of the administration apparently censured the entire student body, because two students had made tasteless remarks while showing various baby pictures of the Homecoming Court. 50 STUDENT LIFE Smiling after being crowned Football Homecoming Queen, Lisa Purcell turns away from Tim Monaghan, who tries to forget that he will soon be waking up for another Saturday School session on the morning after.

Injuries before key meets dimmed this view somewhat. But MUS did advance to the state meet for an unprecedented sixth straight year, guided by Ist-year Head Coach Keesee. The team started out on the right foot by defeating Bishop Byrne and Memphis Prep. MUS runners took the first four places to win with a near-perfect score of 18. After handily defeated Germantown, in a quadrangular meet MUS lost to Harding, who posted the low score of 16. MUS easily beat Collierville and SBEC in that meet. In the Bishop Byrne Invitational at McKellar Park, MUS turned in a surprisingly strong second-place finish. At the prestigious A.F. Bridges Invitational, run on the state course, the cross-country team finished ninth in a field of twenty-five. The team returned to Memphis for two invitationals before the regional meet. First came the Memphis Classic. The team turned in a great performance to place third behind Harding and Henry County. The Owls had a meet cancelled before running in the Shelby Athletic Conference Meet. The team improved its previous performance by placing 2nd, narrowly losing to Harding, 32-37. Henry Caldwell placed 4th; Jeff Peters didn ' t run. But the most important meet of the year was yet to come — the Regional. The top three teams in the Regional qualify for the State. The team rose to the occasion by avenging an earlier loss to Henry County. Harding won with 55 points, followed by MUS ' 88, and Henry County ' s 103. Jeff Peters placed 9th, Henry Caldwell 10th, Boyd Wade 19th, Phillip McNeill 23rd, and Eddie Murphey 36th to give MUS second place. The team thus qualified for the state meet for the sixth consecutive season. No other team in West Tennessee can match this record. The team ' s hope for a good showing were dampened when Peters suffered an injury and could not participate in Nashville, resulting in the team ' s placing ninth. Pain and injury plagued the team throughout the season at key moments. Phillip McNeill finishes one of the few races he ran injury-free. Trying to establish an early MUS lead, Jeff Peters and Henry Caldwell surge to the front fo the pack. Their performance helped MUS to second place in the Shelby Athletic Conference Meet, losing by 5 points to a Harding team which finished second in the State. CROSS-COUNTRY 53 Long Drives and Dazzling Runs Complement Stingy Defense Forfeit Prevents District Title; Year in and year out, the ninth- grade football teams have turned out impressive records, and this team, under Coaches Bobby Alston and Coleman Keefe, was no exception. The Owls controlled the first contest, which was played at Memphis Prep. Al Lawrence and Tom Owen scored touchdowns. Owen ' s score was a 26-yard pass from quarterback David McGowan, while Lawrence ' s was a 1-yard plunge up the middle. Although the game was an apparent victory, the Buzzards were unknowingly playing an ineligible player and therefore had to forfeit. The next contest was a defensive struggle with a physical Harding squad. The Lions scored in the second quarter and converted the extra-point to lead 7-0 at intermission. In the third period, Lawrence ran it in from the 1 to make the score 7-6. However, the crucial conversion was missed by the Owls, and the Lions won by one. Despite the loss. Coach Alston credited the Team Shuts Out Briarcrest defense for keeping us in the game. After the close loss, the players were fired up for SBEC. The Buzzards embarrassed the Trojans 34-0. Tim Deaton scored twice, once on a spectacular 90-yard kickoff return, and later on a 28-yard run. Lawrence also scored twice, and Owen once. Tom Chambers, who made numerous tackles and recovered an onsides-kick, played a good defensive game. In the next three games, a strong offense and a stingy defense characterized the team. Against Bishop Byrne, the offense racked up 225 yards compared to 1 14 for the Red Knights. The offensive unit compiled 14 first downs against Catholic; the defense held the Chargers to only 4. MUS manhandled previously unbeaten Collierville 20-0. In the game, MUS ran up 256 yards; the Dragons had only 39 total yards and 3 first downs. During the streak, Deaton scored three TD ' s, Lawrence had two, David Crighton tallied one, and Greg Payonzeck scored on a 21 -yard pass from McGowan. The defense was anchored by Wes Bell and Bill Lansden. The most exciting game of the year was against Munford, at Munford. At the end of regulation time, the game was tied at 19-all. Deaton ' s 5- yard run in overtime proved to be the decisive score, as the Owls won a thriller 26-25. The final game was against Briarcrest, the school across the tracks. With the help of Lawrence ' s running and Sammy Gannaway ' s kicking, the Owls shut out the perennially powerful Saints 14-0. Coach Alston was pleased with the team ' s final record of 6-2. He did, however, point out that we would have been 7-1 if we hadn ' t had to forfeit that first game. He praised the defense for its hard work and the offense for its execution. He said, These guys will be able to step in and help the Varsity right away next year.

MUS was led by Quarterback Drew Harris ' passing ( 1 8 completions in 24 attempts for the season) and by the running of Alan Feild (9 yards per carry for the season) and Tommy Poirier (6 yards per carry). Behind the offense ' s charge the Owls beat Memphis Prep 20-7. Once again the offense ran up 20 points to defeat St. Louis 24-0. MUS suffered its only loss of the year to Germantown. The Red Devils held the team scoreless to win 12-0. After the disappointing defeat, the Owls returned to demolish Memphis Prep 42-6. MUS manhandled Our Lady of Sorrows, 20-6. in the season finale, the eighth-grade team escaped with a narrow 21-20 victory over a determined Craigmont squad. In rolling to their 5-1 mark, the Eighth Grade Owls outscored their opponents 127-51 because of a stingy defense. Behind leading tackier Mac McCarroll ' s 36 tackles, the defensive unit provided the team with great field position all year long. Other leading tacklers were Steve Carpenter, Alan Feild, Wyatt Isbell, and Rich Williamson. The team was not only tough on defense but also careful of mistakes. The squad had fewer penalties than any other eighth-grade team in the last 5 years. On offense, the line of McCarroll, Isbell, Williamson, John Kirkpatrick, and Bill Ballinger opened the holes which allowed Feild and Poirier to gain 503 and 325 yards respectively. Despite being a small team, the Eighth Grade team played like a big squad both on offense and defense. EIGHTH-GRADE FOOTBALL 57 Enjoying his perspective, Scott Stevens ' mind wanders as Myra Thomhill (Rebecca O ' Brien) realizes that the time is ripe to take the money and run. The hero, however, snapped out of the trance and caught her in the act. Magee (Stevens) is stunned by the emergence of Peters the hermit, (played by Matt Smith) from a hidden passage. Acting as law and order, the Chief of Police (Evan Vignola) suddenly realizes the endless opportunities provided by the money under his charge. Evan was another new face on the M US stage. 58 STUDENT LIFE The hermit gleefully informs four of the villains that they will soon be dead. Stephan Sharp, John Sebes, and Rob Morrow sneer at the hermit ' s suggestion; Khy Daniel, brilliantly bringing out the underlying masochism of the character, smiles with pleasure at the thought of his fate. SURPRISE RALDPATE REY8 SUCCESS The MUS Theatrical Department opened its season with three comic performances of Seven Keys to Baldpate. One of the few non-musical plays written by George M. Cohan, Baldpate was the first mystery presented at MUS since 1973. The tale of Seven Keys to Baldpate involves a writer (Scott Stevens) who goes to a supposedly deserted inn to write a story in twenty-four hours in order to win a bet. Uninvited visitors continuously barge in with other keys, and they ' re all after the money from the Baldpate safe. Conflicts ensue before a double-surprise ending leaves members of the audience feeling as if the joke was on them. Unexpected development in the plot and crisp comedy lines helped to maintain a high level of entertainment throughout the mystery. Mr. Saunders once again enjoyed directing a production that allowed some new people to get involved — the script had several good parts. Scott Stevens performed well as the protagonist in his first leading role. Matt Smith was well cast as the lunatic hermit, and he was excellent in the character role. Evan Vignola added a dominating aura to his scenes, while veteran Rebecca O ' Brien turned in another fine actingjob on the MUS stage. In addition, former MUSTAD actor Flip Eikner helped Mr. Saunders in building a realistic set. FALL PLAY 59 Leading a grim group of freshmen in a moment of silence, Dan Daniel stands over the remains of a departed Freshman Retreat participant.

FALL 61 Kickers Finish Second in State in Sudden-Death Triple Overtime Undefeated in West Tennessee, Owls Show Class and Savvy Coached by Mr. Craig Schmidt, the soccer team began practice in August with high hopes. The team was loaded with talented and experienced players: captains Andy Kaplan and Tim Monaghan. returnmg lettermen Kim Jenkins, Sam Pogoni, Davant Latham, Hampton Sides, Bryan Jones, Mel Payne, Cannon Allen, David Vick, and Jon Garrett. The season opened against Glenmore Academy, one of the better Memphis teams. The game was deadlocked at 1-all until the last twenty minutes of the second half, when the Owls exploded for a 5-1 win. Ted McLaughlin had a hat-trick (3 goals), while Barron Williams and David Vick each added 1 goal. The next weekend the team traveled to Bell Buckle, Tennessee, to play Webb. Led by Chip Broadfoot ' s 2 scores, M US defeated Webb, 4- 1 . Cannon Allen and McLaughlin also found the net. Back in Memphis, the Owls beat Lutheran 2-1, with Bruce Gordon and Jon Garrett scoring. Fleet Abston and Andy Kaplan receiving all-state votes. Then MUS drubbed Webb-Bell Buckle at home, 8-0. McLaughlin had another hat-trick; Vick, Garrett, Williams, Allen, and Greg Parker also scored. After a week of hard practice, the Owls went to Birmingham, Alabama, for games with two excellent teams. On a very short and rocky field. Mountain Brook prevailed 2-1. Monaghan scored for the Owls, Sam Pogoni and keeper Mel Payne got all-state votes. The following day the aroused Owls avenged that first loss with a 4-0 victory over Indian Springs. Parker led the scoring with 2 goals, followed by sophomore Paulo Aur and McLaughlin with 1 each. Returning home, the Owls defeated their next seven opponents: CBHS fell to MUS 3-1; Memphis Lutheran, 6-3; and a rematch with CBHS produced a 2-0 victory. The Craigmont team was once again victim to the Owls, 4-1. In the only night game of the season MUS defeated Auburndale 6-0. Scoring for the Owls were Monaghan, Parker, Vick, McLaughlin, Latham, and Robin Smithwick. In the final regular season game, MUS beat Glenmore 2-1 on the strength of McLaughlin ' s 2 scores to become the West Tennessee champions. At the State Tournament at Webb- Bell Buckle, the Owls defeated Webb- Knoxville 3-2 to earn a berth in the finals. In the finals with Oak Ridge it was 1- 1 at the end of regulation time. After two overtimes and about 8 minutes into sudden death Oak Ridge scored on a phenomenal shot from about 25 yards out to win the Tennessee Division of the Dixie Conference, with the Owls placing 2nd. The Owls finished the season 13-2 and outscored their opponents 58-15; Ted McLaughlin was high scorer for the season. While the team will lose three starting seniors, underclassmen Paul Thornton, Bruce Gordon, Jim Karn, Alan Pntchard, Robert Wegbreit, Greg Parker, Paulo Aur, Jef Kaplan, Greg Thompson, Greg Graflund, and Ray Wooten developed their skills and should be able to provide the needed talent next year. Coaches Craig Schmidt and Bill Jamieson were very pleased with this year ' s season and expect another winning season in 1979. ' 78 VARSITY SOCCER (13-2) 5 Glenmore Webb 1 1 J.

The 9th grade started with a perfect 6-0 record. Included in that streak were wins over Germantown, Harding, and Memphis Prep. The team ' s first loss came at the hands of a powerful CBHS team. In what proved to be a defensive battle, the Owls came up 2 points short, bowing to the Brothers 26-28. Ironically, the next game was a rematch with the Brothers. Once again it was a two-point game, but this time the Owls were on top, 33- 3 1 . Phil Graves led the Owls with 14 points, while Scott Rose added 13. The team went on to post impressive victories over the likes of Memphis Prep, Catholic, and Bishop Byrne. Although having beaten the Prep Panthers by 10 in their first meeting, the Owls got beat in a rematch 40-26 in what Coach Brown called our only really bad game. The team then went mto post- season play, participating in the District Tournament. Their first opponent was Collierville. All five starters scored, and the bench also played a vital role m the victory. The team played its final game m the semi-finals of the District, losing to Harding. Although the Owls had beaten the Lions once earlier in the year, Harding proved too tough this time with play- making guard Scott Rose sick. The Lions gave the Buzzards their final loss of the season. Phil Graves and Scott Rose proved to be mainstays as Graves was a top scorer and Rose led the team in assists and was also the floor leader. 6 ' 4 Wren (Soup) Cambell was a stable force at the center position. Bill Lansden, Bubba Holliday, Steve Threlkeld, David McGowan, and Barton Thrasher also gave added strength to the team ' s inside-outside game.

The team had a record of 10-5. The losses were all close games — none over six points. The Baby Owls had a good scoring team which surpassed the fifty-point mark four times. Their highest scoring game was against Woodland; they scored sixty-two points. Their biggest winning margin was against Briarcrest, whom they beat 5 1 -26. The top scorer on the team was big Mac McCarroll who had 24 of the team ' s 45 points against Memphis Prep. The team lost to St. Dominic but beat Woodland, Harding, and Pendleton. Drew Harris had ten points and grabbed five rebounds en route to leading the team to its 3 1 -29 victory over rival Harding. Memphis Prep came back to surprise MUS, but Bellevue was not so lucky as they suffered a 42-27 defeat. McCarroll spearheaded the offensive attack with twenty points and Harris added eight. The Eighth-Grade Owls knocked off Woodland, Lutheran, and Holy Communion before playing arch- enemy Briarcrest. The Saints were spared no pain at the hands of the M US offense, suffermg a 5 1 -26 rout. Coach Alston was pleased with the team ' s success and saw great potential in his players ' futures. Rebounding over the Bellevue forwards, Steve Carpenter puts the ball back in for an easy bucket while Mac McCarroll watches.

Despite a lack of experience on the team, the Buzzards were able to send three wrestlers to the State Tournament. After beating Prep and losing to Catholic in close matches, the grapplers faced the perennial powerhouses. The team was defeated in dual matches by Germantown, Harding, CBHS, and Bishop Byrne. Against these teams, however, the wrestlers showed great improvement individually, winning at least two more individual matches per contest than against the same teams last year. During this same period, the wrestling team was able to win one contest, handily defeating SBEC 42-25. After Christmas break the team came into its own despite the temporary loss of team-captain Kent Boler because of an ear injury. MUS wrestlers pinned another defeat on SBEC and beat Catholic again, this time with a greater margin of victory. Then in a Friday morning chapel program in a packed MUS gym, a crowd of about 600 watched the grapplers destroy Ridgeway 54-16. MUS then handled Sky-View easily, 43-17. The young Owls went somewhat flat against an improved Prep, but Briarcrest fell to the Owls 42- 1 2, and the regular season ended on a good note. In tournament action, the Owls finished fourth in the Shelby Athletic Conference tournament led by the second-place finishes of David Galloway, Boler, William France, and Clayton Rogers. Stephen Galloway, Stuart Adams, Doug McCown, and Jerry Bryson earned fourth places. The grapplers topped their conference finish by having three wrestlers place in the District tournament at Millington, 2 more than last year. Galloway finished second, losing only to last year ' s state runner-up. Boler and France both took third-place, qualifying for the Regional tournament at Germantown. In the regionals, MUS wrestled well, taking eighth-place despite having only three wrestlers. Galloway beat his Oakhaven opponent 5-4 in the consolation finals to take third-place. Boler lost to his Millington man in a hotly contested 8-6 match in the semis but came back for a 1-0 win in the consolation finals. France won two matches but lost in the consolation finals 6-3 to capture fourth-place. All three wrestlers advanced to the State tournament in Chattanooga.

' b '  MISCELLANEOUS 91 mm LiJHBBJigMgfefa ' ' J1T A «J Many students wondered what ominous sight awaited their eyes under the console in the Foreign Language Labs, when actually only the controls to the headphones were housed there. The summer reading program made students read to keep their minds crisp for the next year. A wide variety of topics are covered each year in MUS ' summer reading. 94 ACADEMICS words and expressions English Foreign Languages Speaking the Languages at Home and Abroad Mr. Shelton fields a question from his 8th-grade English class. Mr. Shelton, who taught for his second year in the Lower School, was the advisor for the Lower School paper. Many people think that more emphasis is needed on languages from abroad than on the one at home. However, with the scores for English on standardized tests dropping nationwide, the emphasis in the past few years has been placed on the basics of English: grammar, vocabulary, and writing. Even though MUS students have slightly increased their scores over the past few years, the faculty has seen the need for sharpened English skills at MUS. The improvement of English skills starts in the Lower School. In order to strengthen the curriculum in the 7th and 8th grades. Upper School teachers have taught Lower School English. This year only Mr. Thompson taught an English class in the lower grades. Also teaching Lower School English was Mr. Bill Jamieson. Mr. Jamieson initiated a new vocabulary method of using Newsweek as a source for words. Improvement in English must start early, and the steps taken by the MUS English Department are certainly beneficial to the students. The added emphasis on grammar continues in the Upper School with the 9th and 10th grades, which concentrate on grammar with a little literature to keep students interested. A relatively new policy of the English Department was a Junior English review for the first semester of the 1 Ith-grade year. This course prepares the student for important standardized tests to be taken later (SAT and ACT). While it may not be the most enjoyable English class, the Junior English review was very helpful. The student ' s last semester of his Junior year and both semesters of his Senior year are then devoted to the reading of literature and the writing of themes. Many methods have been tried to solve the problems of summer reading in the past few years, and still the present way was unsatisfactory. The summer reading program is still evolving. Several ideas have been suggested for alternate summer reading programs, and eventually something will be worked out to the satisfaction of everyone involved. The Foreign Language Department continues to remain strong with the help of Mr. Vincent Mutzi. Mrs. Marilyn Reinhardt, Mrs. Betty Jo Higgs, and Mrs. Donna Coleman. Mrs. Coleman took over the teaching of the French language after the departure of Mrs. Robinson. A little variation in the procedure in taking Latin was that a student could get credit for Latin I without having to pass Latin II. Also, only students who did reasonably well in Latin I may take Latin II. This change in policy applies also to French I and II and Spanish I and II students. In April, 1978, 46 Latin students with Mrs. Higgs and Mrs. Reinhardt won third-place academics and sweepstakes trophies in the State Latin Tournament. David Rudolph won several honors in the National Latin Contest last summer in Texas. Mrs. Reinhardt wades through his Latin translation as Joe Lazarov watches. A trip to the classical city of Rome was conducted by Mrs. Reinhardt this year. ENGLISH AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES 95 wm g am •, r4ig theories and applications • Mathematics • Sciences Students Experiment With Numbers and Elements The Mathematics and Science Departments have always been strong at MUS. The diversity of courses offered gives students a broad background. This diversity is exemplified by the fact that there are four different Senior math classes. With the building of the new science wing, the Science Department will be very well equipped, which makes department head Mr. Jerry Omundson very pleased. Several new faces could be seen in the classrooms teaching math. Mr. Charles Bryant taught Algebra I and II. Mr. Judd Williford assumed Mr. Ray McGhee ' s position to instruct Geometry and some Lower School math classes. Mr. McGhee left MUS in the middle of the first semester to take up his own business. The Science Department is looking forward to the big change it will undergo when it gets to move into the new wing. It is to be hoped that the building will be completed and in use by the beginning of the next school year. Another new teacher was Mrs. Mary Ellen Campbell, who taught Physics. Mrs. Campbell also had the distinct privilege of teaching Physics- Chemistry. Computer Math now has a different location as it was moved from its old room next to the office to the library. In its place is now the fund-raising office. The move was made in order to regulate the use of the computers. Many students found it hard to use the computers because previous Computer Math students were on the computers. It is to be hoped that this new location will alleviate the problem, as only present students are allowed in the room. Mr. Omundson performs an interesting experiment in Chemistry as his class watches him. Mr. O, whose white lab coat is his trademark, eyes the contents of the test tube as it undergoes a traction. Experiments were done by the students, also. Derived on the board was Mr. Ramsey ' s new theorem for performing computations on his fingers. Mr. Ramsey amused his Pre-Calculus classes by quickly calculating problems in his head. 96 ACADEMICS The purpose of Mr. Saunders ' Ecology class was to tie in society with the environment we live in. Mr. Saunders was often driven to give supplication to the Ecology gods for mankind ' s injustices to his surroundings. - David Taylor watches intently a bacterial battle under the microscope.

NEWSPAPER 99 c wmm Outdoor Sports Gain Popularity Ski Hunting and Fishing Four Wheel Drive Fencing High Adventure To go along with a national interest in health and fitness, sports clubs were very popular at MUS. While some clubs encouraged competition between members, others placed emphasis on Man ' s struggle against Nature. Once again, MUS ' hallowed halls rang with resounding duck-calls and reports of the Hunting and Fishing Club. Weekend after weekend, with the Four Wheel Drive Club providing transportation, the club ' s members used the latest technology combined with their primal instincts to provide their tables with wild game. Overall, the two clubs were probably the most active on campus. The High Adventure Club was established this year with the purpose of being an outdoors club. Sponsor Rick Ferguson took the group on an overnight mountain-climbing trip to Missouri early in the year in order to get off to a good start. The club also had high hopes of participating in another outdoor activity such as ballooning. In past years the Ski Club was always a winter, snow-loving bunch. This year, however, the Ski Club was formed by students with passion for water skiing. The club ' s activities were limited to fall and spring because of the lack of ski boats which were able to break the ice on local lakes. During the warmer months, the group was very active. The Fencing Club was created by those students who could wield an epee or rapier. Members learned to parry blows from foils and samurais. Each student had to rely on quickness and agility, or else suffer the consequences. Members of the Hunting and Fishing Club follow Clayton George ' s lead as they take aim on the Fencing Club, while Hal Patton keeps track of the casualties. Although Clayton uses modem methods of attack (hand grenades), other members such as Buck Neely, Ken Flowers, Jim Crews, and Allen Hughes, use more conventional means to kill. 100 ORGANIZATIONS SKI CLUB: Scott Schaefer, Jim Karn, Stan Hughes, Clayton George, Ken Stokes, Buck Neely; (not pictured) Keith May.

The new Science Building Will certainly be an asset to the school, and its benefits will be felt by all students. The new facilities will greatly improve the sciences at MUS. The present facilities leave something to be desired. They hinder individual student projects, create conflicts since the classrooms are ccMiibined with the labs, and confine the equipment stock because of a lack of storage space. The new wing will have separate classr(H ms and labs, thus allowing instructors to continue lab experiments for extended periods of time. There will be mini-labs for individuals interested in pursuing special interests. Better storage areas will be available, making it possible for better and more equipment. The Science Department will be together in one building, and the building will have excellent safety features. The Lc wer School will have its classes in the new building. This move will provide room fov expansion in the Lower School building and will allow the students more opportunity to converse with Upper School students. The computer will finally have a permanent home, and a new darkroom will be housed in the building. The (Irivin Imrcs behind the building campaign were Col. I.ynn and Mr. Randy (ireen.

Most of the girls attended all nine football games. Their refusal to let the spirit die paid off during a successful basketball season, and their encouragement was a great help to both the football and basketball teams. The cheerleaders also aroused and entertained the students both in the traditional Friday morning pep rallies and in the afternoon rallies started this year. The boy cheerleaders also played an imporatnt role in the rallies and games; Captain Emory Miles often pleased the crowd with his acrobatic stunts and rhyming couplets. Throughout the ups and downs of the athletic year, the cheerleaders truly were an inspiration, and the girls, led by Margaret Collier deserve recognition for their hard work and dedication. Henry Caldwell appears to have turned traitor as he devilishly attempts to smash one of the worm ' s ' moving parts into the track during the Germantown game. This group of Emory Miles, David Dunlap, Allen Landers, Henry Caldwell. Bill Mace, Tucker Dewey, Mark Crosby, and Collie Krausnick added new dimensions to exciting the student body.

What ' s the problem, guys? was an oft-heard question around the annual room this year. It began with Ellis Haguewood, faculty advisor, and was aimed at section editors who preferred throwing footballs to completing pages. The work of putting together the yearbook started well as nearly a third of the editors attended a yearbook camp at Ole Miss. Besides playing cards and tennis and going to fraternity parties, the news editors learned much about the mechanics of their jobs. With a first deadline on August 1, a few editors — Editor-in-Chief David Taylor, Student Life Editor Marty Lifer, and Sports Editor Chip Parrott — had to start early. But the bulk of the work was done during Christmas and early February. Blessed by snow days, Tim Guyton (Academics), Rush Waller (Memphis), Paul Deaton (Seniors), George Woodbury (Underclassmen), Chip Lansden and Bentley Long (Faculty). Paul Edwards (Organizations), and Mark Bilsky (Ads) scrambled to meet after-Christmas deadlines. Although more time was spent in snow-sculpture and snowball fights than in actual work, the required pages were finished. The highlight of the year ' s work was a 64-hour, skeleton-staff marathon session to meet the final February deadline. Editor-in-Chief David Taylor exerted excellent leadership as he constantly encouraged, prodded, and advised section editors to produce high-quality, finished pages. Darkroom Editor Billy Knight and Photography Editor .lohn Jennings and their hard-working crews deserve a large share of credit for their tireless, unselfish work. Billy is a four-year letterman and has had a major part in the production of the last four annuals. YEARBOOK 107 Veteran Clubs Make Perennial Return to MUS • Spanish and French • Rocketry • Frisbee • Camera • FCA The list of clubs at MUS was again filled with old favorites that seem to return year after year to provide service points. The French and Spanish Clubs provided modern language students with a chance to learn about the country whose language they studied. The French Club, under Mrs. Donna Coleman, did sample French cuisine at several restaurants this year. And Mr. Vincent Mutzi continued his practice of having Spanish Clubbers to dine at his home. The most popular club in the Lower School was the Rocketry Club. Headed by Coach John Remmers. the club started a top secret project designed to destroy the passes of opposing quarterbacks in mid-air. (Apparently they were not successful.) One of the most active clubs this ear was the Fellowship of Christian Athletes under Breck Bolton. This group often met at members ' houses for dinner and an interesting talk by such celebrities as John Bull Bramlett. The Camera Club again roamed the halls of MUS. capturing the antics of students for posterity. The shutterbugs proved that some pictures aren ' t worth a sentence, much less a thousand words. The most easy-going club this year was the Frisbee Club under Dennis Steinmetz and Mr. Pinkney Herbert. This club was often seen discing on the Chapel ovoid, waiting to bombard students making the trek to the library.

CLUBS 109 Though MUS may be described as an all-boy, college-preparatory school, the attitude of most students — that is, the Upper School students — is What class can I get into that has some girls in it? For, you see. Hutchison girls can come to MUS for classes not offered at their own institution. And It is for this noblest of motivations — the quest for knowledge — that the halls of MUS often ring with the treble squeals of intrepid Honeybees. One class which attracted a great number of girls (and consequently a large swarm of M US drones) was Humanities. Other classes which drew sizeable contingents of Hutchison students were Art Appreciation and Choral Music. Choral Music buzzed with the male-female tones of students making music or making time with their latest honeys. Going the other way were many males attracted to the Hutchison home-hive for Contemporary Issues. The most noticeable fact in recent years concerning M US- Hutch relationships is that every year sees an increase in MUS classes offered to Hutchison girls. The Administration finds the apparent attraction of MUS classes difficult to explain. Physics, Chemistry. Business Law, even Calculus and Pre-Calculus enticed a few Honeybees, as did Bible and Economics. MUS students went to Hutch for Spanish IV and Chemistry, in addition to the Contemporary Issues class. The two schools have continued, then, to expand the number of ways in which their students can broaden their horizons and make significant educational contacts. Often Mr. Russell ' s lectures in Humanities are like a ray of sunshine, enlightening the students ' minds. Mr. Russell taught two other coed classes — Art and Music Appreciation. Several classes were offered to MUS students at Hutchison. David Peeples took Spanish IV at Hutch, givmg him a break from a routine day by driving the hazardous access road. During a lecture on curvilinear motion, Dennis Steinmetz and John Pierce find time to talk to Garner Chandler, one of five girls in Physics at MUS. 10 ACADEMICS M US-Hutchison Boy Meets Girl — Hutch Ado About Nothing As in c classes, one ' s mind does sometimes wander.

Student Council • Fall Festival • Intramural • Forum • Dances The Student Council of MUS was a group composed of fairly diverse individuals. Many of the members, including the President, had never been involved in MUS ' student government before. Therefore, new ideas and a new atmosphere of seriousness toward thejob were representative of this year ' s Council. The Council first met in the summer on an overnight trip at which they started making plans for the year ' s activities. The Council decided to concentrate on major events and then have smaller activities to break up the school week. Examples of activities to make school more exciting during the day were the free watermelon feast. Forum. Homeroom parties, Racquetball Tournament, pie-eating contest, and movies during lunch. The Council, however, was most successful with its big activities, such as the Fall Festival at which music, games, and food were provided for MUS families and friends. At the Festival the Council made more than $1,000. Other big activities were Big Movies like American Graffiti, intramural basketball, the homecoming at which an arcade was featured, and the Formal. The Council also started an inter-school program and helped revise the Student Council Constitution. Council president Andy Kaplan discusses the plans for the Spring Formal in one of the many W ' ednesda afternoon meetmgs in the Student Council room. Andy ' s character set the tone ior this sear ' s council: dedication and participation.

STUDENT COUNCIL 113 Honor Council Members Give Bi- Weekly Talks to Lower School Honor Council Discussed at Tivo Forums The Honor System is what sets MUS apart from other preparatory schools in this area. Yet, after a time, MUS students take the System for granted because they become accustomed to it. Therefore, this Council attempted to change its image by talking to people and familiarizing them with the System. The beliefs of this Honor Council differed from others in the past five years. Instead of the emphasis being on punishment, it was on making the student, if proved guilty, understand that what he had done was wrong. The Council tried to induce him to follow the Honor Code in the future. If a student, however, was proved guilty a second or third time, the severity of the punishment increased greatly. The grade the student was in also influenced the Council ' s choice of punishment. For example, a seventh grader would not receive as severe a punishment as a Senior because of the difference in age and exposure to the System. To spread this new philosophy, the Honor Council gave bi-weekly talks to the Lower School and conducted two Forums to discuss the problems of the Honor Code. The number of Lower School cases dropped, and an understanding of the Council grew in both the Upper and Lower Schools. This Council began a trend toward spreading knowledge of the System to the students. This new emphasis still did not perfect the Council, but it has improved the student ' s understanding of it.

HONOR COI ' NCIL 115 Peer Council Freshman Retreat Tutoring Faculty-Student Dinners The Peer Council was established last year by Guidance Counselor Rick Ferguson. The Peer Council is a group of interested older students who are willing to help students with problems that they might not want to discuss with their teachers or parents. Mr. Ferguson was responsible for selecting the F ' eer Council; he interviewed over twenty students who were eager to help out and chose twelve who he thought had the time and desire to help. The Peer Council instituted four main programs that would help make the life of each student at M US a little easier. In August the Peer Council held an Orientation Day for seventh graders. They were given a tour of the school grounds and m et with members of the Honor Council and Student Council. New Students in other grades were paired up with a member of the Peer Council who made sure that their transition to MUS was a smooth one. The Peer Council realized that the move from the Lower School to the Upper School was a big step. The Freshmen Orientation Retreat and Initiation provided the chance for all the Freshmen to get to know some older students and find out what the Upper School is like. Another area of school life which warranted attention was the area of personal counseling. In response to this need the Council set up a personal counseling program, which matched up a member of the council with a student needing help. The Peer Council member acted as a tutor in some cases and as an interested listener in others. Another area which the Peer Council determined to be important was student-faculty relations. Starting in the middle of November, the council initiated a program to bring the teachers and students closer together. Every other week a group of about six students, three Peer Council members, and two teachers went out to dinner. This year ' s Peer Council was very active in the pursuit of its goals; long hours of planning and work went into the programs developed by the council. Lac Mcho .s.

PEER COUNCIL 117 Variety Spices Club Life Civic Service Book Latin Chess Mechanics The variety of clubs at MUS gave every student an opportunity to participate at school. This diversity kept school-life from ever getting in a rut. Students again heavily supported the activities of the Civic Service Club. In conjunction with the Student Council, this club held a Thanksgiving Can Drive, a Christmas Party for the Boy ' s Club, and a collection of money for the charities. The Roman Empire has fallen, but the Latin language still lives, despite the efforts of some students to disclaim it. The Latin Club proved to be an exciting one with such activities as the State Latin Tournament and a trip to Rome. It is rumored that the toga party scene in A nimal House was based on the activities of this club. The Chess Club has not been as active as in previous years, when the club challenged other schools to matches. Manipulated by the analytical mind of Kent Boler, the pawns of the club played only occasional matches among themselves in an intra-school tournament. With the increase in bad drivers at MUS, the membership of the Mechanic ' s Club registered a significant gain. Dressed in greasy overalls, the members could often be seen working in the garage. Sometimes they were suspected of being a cover for a stolen car ring. Under leaders Don Corleone and Don Miller the club did repair the Senior icebox. The most exciting club was the intellectually invigorating Book Club.

Under the guidance t)f l:ditor Robert Gordon, with assistants Andy Kaplan and Mark Crosby, the MUSe staff wanted this year ' s publication to be eye-pleasing. Hie staff decided to put extra effort into the layout of the magazine, with special effects where appropriate. Because creativity is the purpose of the MUSe, the editors attempted to make the work representative of many forms of expression. Matching pictures with similar writing was done in an attempt tt) increase the effectiveness of both. The TV Studio underwent a number of changes. The first was a name change from MUS-CCTV to WMUS-TV; the second was the building of a news set done in the school ' s colors. With these changes, WM US had a most successful year. The school news show, anchored by Bruce Landau. Bobby E:ason, and Bruce Ryan, went on every three weeks featuring news, sports, and special interviews.

A new history elective. America and the World Since 1939, supplanted the popular Civil War History. The new class surveyed world history, starting with the causes of World WarlL Another change involved teachers. Mr. Rick Broer began teaching one section of American history, a section formerly taught by Mr. Leigh MacQueen. Mr. Deaderick continued to teach his Advanced Placement American History course, and Mr. Craig Schmidt started an AP European History course. The Lower School curriculum was changed considerably. Last year the 7th grade took World History; the 8th grade took U.S. History. This year both took U.S. History. Next year the transition will be complete when the 7th grade will take U.S. History and the 8th grade will take World History. The U.S. History course covers economics, foreign policy, government, and history. One section of the course is Project Business. A businessman visits and talks with one section once a week for a quarter. The Bible curriculum remained largely the same as in past years. Mr. Jackson contmued to offer I Ith and 12th graders a plethora of electives: Philosophy of Religion. God in Human History, Comparative Religions, and Ethics. Mr. Johnny Duke taught the Lower School Old Testament survey. Coach Duke ' s Lower School Old Testament survey provides a good background for later Upper School courses.

SOCIAL STUDIES BIBLE 123 body and soul • Physical Education • Fine Arts Physical and Aesthetic Values Make the Man Whole Fine arts continued to be a strong part of life at MUS. Mr. Pinkney Herbert inspired students to perform admirably in such media as pottery and painting. The art classes sought outside influences through their trips to the Brooks and Dixon galleries. Under the direction of Mr. Andrew Saunders the drama groups continued to produce theatrical works of the highest quality. We were treated to three productions: Seven Keys to Baldpoie; a collage of Shakesperean sketches and an adaptation of The Utile Prince: and a popular musical. Fiddler on the Roof. In Art and Music Appreciation Mr. James Russell tried to introduce the students to art and music (although the students at first were not always readily receptive). Once the students learned the backgrounds of art and music, they could learn to enjoy these forms of artistry. The chorus, under the leadership of Mr. Anthony Williams, improves every year, it performed the Testament of Freedom in front of the student body, and the performance was very well received. Overall, the fine arts program at M US contmues to be a strong and lively part of MUS life. Coach John Keesee returned this year to direct Upper School Physical Education. This year ' s P.E. classes have tried their hands at softball, cross- country, flag-football, soccer, basketball, and weight-training. During the winter months the P.E. program consists of two days of team sports and two days of weight-training per week. Seniors were allowed to pursue independent P.E., in which they report their physical endeavors to Coach Keesee. Other seniors opted to become P.E. assistants and help Coach Keesee run the classes smoothly. Coach Keefe look over the Lower School P.E. program. Mr. Herbert offers a helping hand in a student ' s art project. Mr. Herbert helped widen students ' appreciation of art by teaching both Art 1 and Art II.

AKI PHYSICAL LDIC AIION 125 Before Mr. Anthony Williams accepted the burden of giving MUS a creditable music reputation, there was no real direction in this department. Mr. Williams gave his full interest to the program in order to get it in full swing. He wanted to give everybody who excelled in music and desired an opportunity to sing the chance to exercise his prowess in this field. Mr. Williams began with the musical art of hand bells in the lower grades so that he could elicit maximum interest in those students who had little knowledge of reading music. With handbells he was able to teach music with clarity and to bring the students to appreciate the making of music. Since the time Mr. Williams took over the choirs, MUS has received recognition in Tennessee, last year winning third place out of a hundred choirs in a contest. Two seniors who devoted time to the advancement of the music program were Jim Johnson and Emory Miles. These seniors were recognized for their ability by being accepted to participate in the All- State Choir, held at Opryland. The primary goal of Mr. Williams ' choral music program was to involve as many people as possible with music. The future of the music program will always be as good if the students continue to support the program. The MUS male choir, with a sprinkling of male faculty, performs the stirring Testament of Freedom for a Friday chapel audience. The words of the piece are Thomas Jefferson ' s; the music was written by Randall Thompson. Providing excellent accompaniment for both mixed choir and male choir was Mr. John Boatner, part-time faculty member and erstwhile doctoral candidate at Memphis State. Mr. Boatner takes time here to instruct Dawn Cooper, sophomore at Hutchison, who sometimes accompanies the chorus. 126 ACADEMICS i choral music Singers ' Voices Heard on Campus and in Community A typical day in sixth-period mixed choir practice means an hour or so of standing on risers, mtense sessions of drill on current music, and a few moments of relaxation like this one between pieces of music. The man who is responsible for the dramatic improvement of the musical arts at MUS in recent years is Mr. Anthony Williams. In a relatively short time Mr. Williams has taken a practically non-existent program to a position of respectability and even community prominence. On their way to or from sixth-period choral music, Hutchison girls often congregate ' in front of the chapel. Those schedule-wise MUS boys who need a breath of fresh air and feminine charm between classes can be found where the girls are. CHORAL MUSIC 127 ■ DC€PLE Bobby A.

' 79 Class — One of MOD ERA TION It is hard to characterize a class with one word. However, one can determine the students who have the most influence among their peers. Two years ago, the power in the Senior Class seemed to be with the radical intellectuals. They tended to provoke controversy with the administration and to be liberal about politics. This tendency was evident in the school newspaper. Last year, the influence was exhibited by those Seniors who were known as Jocks. However, this year, the authority among the Seniors rested in the moderate majority. Therefore, the class of 79 might be characterized as a class of moderation. The influencing moderate majority was a synthesis of well- rounded students who were involved in many aspects of school life. For example, the group contained people who were not only leaders in sports, but also leaders in other fields such as scholarship. These individuals were also fairly conservative politically, and they did not go out of their way just to be controversial. Instead, they tended to work well within the limits of the establishment. The unique fact that this year ' s authoritative group was a majority and the fact that the students within the majority seemed to have the same interests and goals produced a great deal of unity within the class of ' 79.

One example of this unity was seen as the Class began its Senior year with an overnight canoe trip on the Spring River in Arkansas. Eight cars and forty Seniors were linked by C.B. ' s as they made history by having the first Senior tripatMUS. When the Homecoming festivities were approaching, the Seniors wanted to contribute to the hoopla and merry-making. The Class combined its artistic ability with its distinguishing cooperation to build a Homecoming float. When a torrential rainstorm drowned the time-consuming masterpiece, the class was quick to unify and attempt it once again. The Class next put force into the Freshman Orientation trip. The class devised and planned the retreat, which proved to be very beneficial. The Seniors then began another new project. The renovation of the lounge proved to be worthwhile. Throughout the year the Seniors also showed their unity by getting together for parties, water skiing, football games, or just meeting at the Deli. Paul Rumble Beaton Student Council 1 1.

SENIORS 143 Seniors Confront PEER PRESSURE For the first time, there was a positive movement by some Seniors to confront the problem of peer pressure and the conformity or apathy resuhing from it. In the attempt to be accepted by their peers, students sometimes lost sight of their own personal beliefs or values. The result was conformity. This conformity was often dangerous because it suppressed individuality. Many times the spirited student was told to shut up by those who were not enthusiastic. By ridiculing the zealous fan, the apathetic group gained a feehng of self-importance. These few who did not conform were faced with social isolation and labeled uncool. Some Seniors recognized the critical situation and attempted to utilize the unity in the Class to solve the problem. Kent Boler was one of many students who enjoyed the Hutchison Ice Cream Social this fall. Here K. B. contemplates, over a banana split, which of his wrestling moves to put on the young Hutch student whom he has just spotted. Babak Esmaeli Transferred 1 1; Social Committee 12.

Two innocent Unicorns fell in love. To celebrate the event two Seniors. Brack Bolton and Scott Schaefer, re-enact the evert t for on-w ' atchina studtjnts. 146 SENIORS A Seniors at MUS had many special privileges. However, the privilege most cherished was undoubtedly the out to lunch privilege. Every Senior took advantage of this opportunity at least once this year; a few students even went out more than the allotted two times per week. Many eating establishments became popular places in which to while away the noon-day hours. These establishments can be grouped into three categories: the fast- food burger joint, the traditional pizza parlor, and the country club. The fast food hamburger joint was the most popular of these three categories for obvious reasons. For a few dollars one could gorge himself on a roast beef platter at Danver ' s, a Triple at Wendy ' s, or a submarine sandwich at the Super Sub Shop. Fast food appealed to the masses because it was quick, relatively inexpensive, and quality controlled. Most people went out to lunch on days when they had a free period either before or after the lunch period at school. However a trip to the Golden Arches only took a couple of minutes; so no free period was necessary. Pizza was a favorite dish of many hungry MUS students. Pizza Hut, Pizza Inn, and Garibaldi ' s were all extremely popular with many of the Seniors. Although pizza was more expensive than hamburgers and generally took longer, some pizza parlors had a noon-day all-you-can-eat special for about three bucks. The third category was available only to a limited group of Seniors. Those students who were members of a country club might enjoy a nice sit-down lunch. The beauty of such an arrangement was obvious: no cash changed hands. One just signed on the dotted line. This was not to say the meal was free; payment was merely deferred until the end of the month — to be paid by Dad, of course. li ' hile walling for dinner on the Senior canoe trip, Robert Sparks looks disgustedly away as Henry Caldwell shows off his bod to some Arkansas beavers sc urrying by.

With the large number of National Merit Scholarship Semi-finalists and the exceptional scores on the SAT and ACT examinations, the Class of ' 79 showed its academic prowess. Of the ninety-two members of the Senior Class, fourteen were selected as National Merit Semi-finalists. In addition, the SAT scores of the Seniors averaged approximately 600, and the ACT was about 26. A large number of Seniors were also members of the various academic organizations on campus. The National Honor Society claimed 15 members of the Class. Nine students were inducted into Cum Laude in their Junior year. This society demanded the highest academic standing. Rounding out academic organizations was Mu Alpha Theta, honoring outstanding mathematical ability: over twenty Seniors were included in the mathematical organization. The Senior Class received an unexpected student this year in Sidney Kriger, who chose to graduate one year early. r Gregory Hays Meyer Social Commitlee II; Peer Council 12; Election Committee 12; Football 9, 10. 11, 12; Track and Field 9. 10; A [ Se Staff 12; Newspaper Staff 11. 12; Backgammon Club 10; Civic Service Club 1 1.

Traditionally MUS has been a school which places responsibility on the Seniors to lead the school in athletics, student government, spirit, and in setting a good example for other students. The success of the school year is proportional to the success of the Senior Class in its leadership role. This year the Seniors gave outstanding leadership in some areas of school life. The Senior-led Student Council, Honor Council, and Peer Council were very effective this year. The Student Council took a new approach by trying not to oversaturate the students with traditional activities; it concentrated on new activities such as the festival. Senior group leaders, headed by the Peer Council, helped organize and run the very successful Freshman retreat. Other activities such as the Newspaper, Annual, MUSe, and athletic teams provided the opportunity for many Seniors to assume the responsibility of leadership, and, in most cases, they proved their leadership ability r On a bright sunny day, Sam Hollis fishes for large mouth bass. Sam also led the school Newspaper to another fine year.

Since one was a Senior, he was expected by the other students to be carefree and to do his own thing. He walked through the halls with an air of confidence and worldly knowledge. After six years he knew the ropes, and he wanted to show that he did. He was secure in the school ' s atmosphere; so, when he walked down the halls, he joked with his friends and ignored his enemies. Younger students moved out of his way in admiration of the Senior ' s status. Many students used their Senior year to assert their independence.

Some dropped the prep look and took on the grub look, which included old clothes and white socks. Others even bucked the establishment completely by wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes. Also, the attitude of many Seniors changed. Their new goals in life sometimes became the pursuit of a good time. In the pursuit of pleasure, the Seniors engaged in the infamous second semester slump. The applications and transcripts were completed; there was time to relax. But most knew that this period of relaxation would only last a short eight months. As high school came to a close, the Senior anticipated the opening of a new chapter in his life.

Seniors Survive the TIMES As each Senior finished his last year, he undoubtedly had passed through many experiences at school that affected his life in some minute way. And other experiences did not affect his life at all. Many of the Seniors started together six years ago in the seventh grade, and a few go back to kindergarten. The Class of ' 79 was introduced to MUS with geography under the scholarly Coach Lawson. Who could forget his high belt line, the League of Nations, or going to the Libary ? Students found enjoyment by watching Miss Gattis get flustered when they re-arranged her room. The students also sought diversion from routine school life by engaging in Bible football, snowball fights with daring Seniors, and free periods in which many engaged in games of chance such as cards, or a few daring souls engaged in more risky ones in the Lower School Woods. Obviously the Class of ' 79 was the last to have free periods in the Lower School. After their years in the Lower School, the students smoothly moved up to the Upper School. The Class was accepted because of a meaningful Freshman initiation. What person could forget the Wednesday afternoon holocaust? An innocent observer would not have known whet her to call the police or an ambulance. Almost every ninth and tenth grader had the pleasure of attending at least one of the English courses taught by the dynamic duo, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Pettigrew. The Class was also the first to be tortured by the boredom of Junior English Review. However, the Seniors survived the times. Each one has fond memories and close friends to remember. And surely, after it was all over, one could say that it was not so bad after all. Mr. MacQueen explains the ordering of graduation announcements to the Seniors during one of the tedious Senior meetings. Many Students felt privileged to be included in the very important Senior meetings that concentrated on subjects such as activity sheets, admissions to tests, and Senior privileges. 154 SENIORS bI After six years of human bondage, many students such as Marty Lifer felt bound by routine school life. These Seniors eagerly anticipated escaping MUS and experiencing the freedom of college life.

During the November elections, many people campaigned for their favorite candidates. Stephan Sharp was one of the most active students through his work for Senator Howard Baker. Stephan was a member of the Teenage Republicans and was responsible for recruiting other students. He also saw that campaign work was completed. Also, in 1978 Memphis was chosen as the site for the Democratic National Conference. The Conference brought many visitors to Memphis and required that the guests be lodged throughout the city. Because of the great distances between hotels and the Cook Convention Center, volunteers were needed to take the delegates around the town. Many MUS students volunteered their time to chauffeur delegates or else to help in hotels such as the Hyatt Regency. One student, Emory Miles, was given the job of working on the security force at the convention center. Emory was able to do this service because of his involvement with the Shelby County Sheriff ' s Department. Beyond the realm of actual politics, there were several programs during the year that required interaction with other students. Focus: Memphis was a program at Southwestern in which students from around the city met monthly to discuss with city leaders the city ' s problems. Marty Lifer and Bo Smith were the students who participated in this program. Another program in which MUS students were involved was the national Close-Up program. MUS ' s David Taylor and other Memphis students traveled to Washington to talk with authorities about the nation ' s problems. Seven MUS students participated in a local Close-Up program in the fall. A final program was the joint meeting of the MUS and Central High Student Councils. They discussed ways in which they felt that they could help each other in the service of their respective schools. Lee Powell, Stephan Sharp, and Jim Johnson were three of the many people who campaigned for their preferred candidates during the stormy weeks before the November elections. ife ' ' EMOW ONFERE US SC- ) N a Waiting to board a limousine at the Hyatt Regency to pick up delegates at the airport, John Pierce the contents of his Memphis grab-bag with some pleasant members of the Democratic National Conference work force. discusses 180 COMMUNITY ; Seven students participated in the local Close-Up program in the fall. Mr. Michael Deaderick was chosen to introduce the keynote speaker of the event, Mr. William Farris. The Democratic National Conference brought many visitors to the city. The abundance of guests necessitated having volunteers to show them around the town. Marion Barry, Mayor of Washington, D.C., encouraged the students participating in the local Close-Up meeting to strive for excellence in their work and to get involved in government. Born and raised in Memphis, Mayor Barry ' s platform was based on his desire to get representatives in Congress for the District of Columbia. POLITICS 181 Kmrn Bammmm The Brooks Art Gallery is one of the best cultural attractions in Memphis and is perhaps the most prestigious gallery in the city. The Mid-South Music Festival on the Mid-Amenca Mall brought musical refreshment for an extremely warm fall by bringing diversified styles of music together. 182 COMMUNITY irii Interest in Art, Music, Theatre Memphis has always been thought of as the river town that sings the blues. It has also been stereotyped as a lower- class. Southern redneck city. However, any Memphian knows that there is more to his city than Beale Street and Elvis Presley souvenir shops. Organizations such as the Memphis Arts Council have succeeded within recent years in promoting the arts and culture in Memphis. Unknown to many people in the city, Memphis has several excellent art galleries. They may not be as big as some of the metropohtan art museums in other cities, but the galleries do exist. The Brooks Art Gallery in Overton Park is the most well-known gallery in Memphis. The Dixon Art Gallery and Gardens, located in East Memphis, is one of the newer. Music in Memphis is not limited to Elvis or the blues. In the classical area, Memphis has had a fine symphony for a long time. Opera has been strong in Memphis, too. Music festivals in Memphis bring out the wide range of music in the city, from bluegrass to hard rock. As far as cultural history goes, the Pink Palace is the only museum of substantial size in the city. The completion of its new wing has expanded its potential for exhibition. Theatre in Memphis has advanced greatly. Much of the progress has been due to the new building in which Theatre Memphis operates. The modern facilities of the new building have enabled the group to expand its productions greatly. Other theatre groups in Memphis include the Circuit Playhouse and the Playhouse on the Square. ' The original sfruclure of the Pink Palace is reflected in the windows of the new wing. In addition to increased exhibit space, the new building includes a planetarium which possesses one of the most intricate projectors available to museums. The Memphis Botanical Gardens are one form of art that many people do not give any attention to. The gardens, located in Audubon Park, offer a fresh diversion for a sunny afternoon. CULTURE 183 Most ofMUS ' s ambitious students worked on Saturday. Junior Scott Stevens rolls and cuts a bolt of cloth for Calico Corners, a discount fabric store. One reason ihal a senior held a job was to support his privilege of eating out during the week at school. A clubhouse hand at the Memphis Country Club, Lee Nichols attempts to make the ultimate driver by filing the face off the club. Senior Dennis Steinmetz fastens the final button on the suit he hasjust put on display at Steinmart. Steinmart was a new store in Memphis which offered quality men ' s and women ' s clothing at extremely low prices. Much of the money students earned at their jobs went to pay for their dates on the weekend. Junior Hampton Sides is unfazed by a six year- old girl ' s request for cherry-flavored pipe tobacco as he mans the counter at a local drugstore. Forced to stack bag upon bag of animal leavings at Dan West ' s Garden Center, Louis Jehl was unable to understand why he was sometimes socially shunned by his peers because of the aroma that permeated his clothing. Louis reflected philosophically. You get used to it.

Gernnantown Rd. To Dan Hogan and his friends Compliments of BEN M. HOGAN CO.. INC. Little Rock, Ark. The most famous name in security isrft Guardsmark. But maybe it should be. The companies with the most famous names in security want you to believe they are the best in the business. Guardsmark doesn ' t beUeve it and you won ' t either if you take time to compare. Guardsmark has the edge in selection, training, supervision, and extras. The edge in selection The heart of the security business is selection and training. The most famous companies don ' t tell you much about selection. At Guardsmark, we do because we have something to tell. Our careful selection leads to guards who are mature, responsible, self-motivated and honest, the kind you want guarding your company. Our selection techniques are so selective that only one applicant out of twenty-five is accepted for training as a Guardsmark security officer or investigator. We go back at least ten years in the applicant ' s life and check everything, including medical history. In states where law permits, we administer poly- graph tests to assure honesty on the front end and keep on checking. Newly hired employees are then given a 566 question psychological test to determine the job for which they ' re best suited. In short, we find out if something ' s wrong before it has a chance to go wrong. The edge in training At Guardsmark, we don ' t train guards just to react to crisis situations. Certainly we teach them how to do that but much more importantly we stress prevention of events that lead to a crisis. We teach them how to spot the security hazards and become specialists in crime prevention. The applicant will go through Guardsmark ' s thorough basic train- ing, advanced training and later will be subject to recurring on-the- job training. We use portable audio visual aids for both initial and on-the-job training. With these devices, guards can easily review such specific topics as human relations and con- frontations, physical security and safety, and fire protection. We give each officer a 104 page General Orders and Regulations at the completion of training which is a prime reference source for performance of duties. Once a month each guard will also receive a Day to Day™ calendar with clearly defined preventive and action guidelines. He even receives extra training bulletins and periodic examinations of his security skills in the envelope with his paycheck. All training procedures are care- fully monitored. Notations on each guard ' s progress are entered in his personnel record after having been scrutinized by headquarters to ensure full compliance with all corporation requirements. The Guardsmark approach to training is famous. Other security forces frequently call on us, through our Technical Services Division, to prepare customized training pro- grams and materials for their pro- prietary security forces. Increasing numbers of firms are turning to Guardsmark to take over the opera- tion and administration of the uniformed security function. And again, that ' s more than the most famous names in the business can say for themselves. The edge in supervision Guardsmark believes in strong supervision. As a client, you get daily reports from each security officer. There is weekly supervisory contact, monthly contact by regional and branch managers and periodic visits from headquarters. All inspections are documented and re- viewed by the branch manager, the regional manager and executive personnel. Beyond all that, we provide a strong incentive bonus plan to our people to further ensure good performance. The edge in extras Here are a few of the little things. The kind that make a big difference between Guardsmark and the others. We look at each opera- tion carefully prior to beginning. Then we provide a customized set of special orders and instructions which are reviewed at corporate headquarters for each account and revised and updated at least every six months. We send you The Lipman Report™ at no charge, a special newsletter on crime and preventive measures. We back you up with full in- vestigative, security training, and consulting capacity. Our company has the depth and flexibility to meet your needs. We can provide 10, 50 or even 100 extra personnel on short notice in case of emergency. We can provide patrol cars, K-9 service, special equip- ment, even customized uniforms for major assignments. And our in- vestigators have the experience nec- essary to handle touchy situations. Put the Guardsmark edge on your side If you ' ve read this far, you may be interested in more information about what Guardsmark can do for you. Call or write Jeff Harris at our Memphis office, 22 South Second Street, Memphis, TN 38103, 901-525-2777, and find out how we c an help you all across the country. With your help we ' ll be the most famous name in security after all. euamisniaiiiiiK. The Crime Prevention Company Operations in over 400 cities. ADS 207 Congratulations to Shawn Snipes From MR.

In an effort to steal the ball, MUS ex- erts half-court pressure, but East ' s four- corner offense successfully killecJ the clock in the final quarter. MVP of the Regional Tourney and 2nd- team All-Stater, Jerry Martin shoots his patented one-handed jumper in the Northside final. Scott Patterson cleans the glass for one of his 13 rebounds. Although the inside game seemed to be a problem, the team actually outrebounded East 31- 28. Closing the final quarter of a memorable season, Breck Bolton heaves a desperation shot with no time left, as the Mustangs begin celebrating. 1978-79 Faculty and Administration D.Eugene Thorn (1 )55) B Si ytcmphi.

Tim Guyton writes out a basic layout to work from. Tim was one of the relatively inexperienced section editors who learned to create his own masterpieces. A new idea was implemented this year to produce the ' 79 Owl. Instead of having large staffs for each section, the editors did the bulk of the work. For this reason, the close-knit core of editors was dubbed the Skeleton Staff. Despite a relative lack of experience (only two editors had any experience), they managed to produce quality pages. Once again. Sports was the largest section. Chip Parrott, with help from Breck Bolton, was responsible for writing and laying out each spread. Beginning with his summer deadline right on up to February, Chip worked on his pages. In correlation to Sports was Marty Lifer ' s Student Life. Marty, who was last year ' s Underclassmen editor, created this section almost single-handedly, with some aid from Bruce Landau. Academics was handled by Tim Guyton. After Tim got a basic layout design, he went to work despite little previous experience. He had writing help from Arthur Fulmer and Peter Strong. Organizations, which was done by Paul Edwards, was also well thought-out. After some prodding and a lot of work on snow days, Paul overcame his inexperience to make an interesting section. Writing was done by Dan Daniel, Rob Moore, Lee Nichols, and Rob Gordon. Co-editors Chip Lansden and Bentley Long changed up Faculty. They managed to agree long enough to compile a pleasing section. Seniors (Paul Deaton) and Underclassmen (George Woodbury) were both more than just matching people ' s faces and names. Once Paul finished Seniors, he helped the other editors. Tucker Dewey, Lee Nichols, John Walt, Andy Kaplan, and Stephan Sharp worked for Paul. Both Chip and George did the Index this year. After a lot of thought. Rush Waller devised an interesting method in which to attack Community. Rush proved expecially beneficial after he completed his pages because he was able to type for other people. Ads were put in the book by Mark Bilsky. Mark had lots of ads to work with thanks to a record-setting campaign by the Ad Team — Mark Crosby, Kim Jenkins, and George Skouteris. Jim Johnson ran the financial end of the campaign as Business Manager. Crosby also designed the cover and divider pages. The Darkroom and Photography Editors were Billy Knight and John Jennings respectively. Both brought years of experience to their posts, and they were able to combine their photographic expertise and organizational ability to make their senior year a cinch. Our company representative, Nicky Drake, was very helpful in solving certain problems, particularly the cover. And last, but not least, Mr. Ellis Haguewood, in his seventh year as advisor, proved that he ' s getting better with age. He had an uncanny knack for making people turn out good work. SPECIFICATIONS The ' 79 Owl was a mixture of old and new. As in the past, graphics were used often in the book: Student Life employs different styles and Community uses a new 36-pt. Profil. In some sections, however, the decision was made to drop the handmade heads for the easier printed ones. Sports has a 36- pt. Optima Bold sport name and Organizations uses Bodoni types. In Seniors, the graphics were dropped for Times Roman type. A difference more obvious to the reader is the use of lines. The Opening employs both a 3-pt. and a 6-pt. bar. Academics uses 3 horizontal 3-pt. bars with the spread ' s name inserted. Underclassmen ' s basic layout calls for 3-pt. black bars around the candid pictures. Another new technique is the dots on both Academics and Organizations spreads. One major achievement is the divider pages. The right-hand page of each divider has a 100% Russett Brown background with the arrow colored in shades of the same color. The left-hand page of the divider is a duo-tone in Russett Brown of a photograph. Chip Parrott stares into the bottom of his Krystal sack in an effort to find his twelfth burger. Chip, who was known for his voracious appetite, was also famous for his last-minute, last-ditch attempts to make deadlines. 246 CLOSING MHWtattttatiMJariVWft f.

CLOSING 247 Grace Wilson anxiously observes the action on the court during a basketball game. The cheerleaders, who have been subject to criticism in past years, were unduly maligned in 1979. Despite the basketball team ' s great success, some MUS students blamed the girls for their own lack of enthusiasm. Actually the amazing thing was that the cheerleaders continued to support the school in spite of the insults. During her lone free period, Mrs. Mary Ellen Campbell records the grades of her latest Physics test.
