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.

' ' 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.
