The most sahent fact of hfe finds expression at MUS. Each year we lose about a hundred students to graduation. Each fall seventh graders move in to fill the void. The faces change, books and courses change, new buildings are added. Wallabies give way to Topsiders; painter ' s pants are discarded. Undergirding the change, however, is the bedrock on which MUS stands: quality. Academic excellence — 18 National Merit Semi-Finalists from the class of ' 81. Athletic excellence — winning seasons in every varsity sport. Character — an honor code that promotes integrity and a community of trust. Over the years this bedrock remains, because quality is always in style! Quality is always in Style Boyd Wade, Eddie Murphey, David Taylor, and Mark Frazier join hands for an overwhelming four-way, first-place finish in a dual meet against Bishop Byrne at McKellar Park.

Seven long hours a day for nine long months (plus homework). Somehow we overcome the drudgery. We make it special! School Day Picture Day, ad- campaign skits, a lampoon of teachers in the homecoming skits are part of the unique sense of humor at MUS. Our Gang after lunch, frisbee throws, movies, dances. Grub Day, Lid Day, the Winter Carnival and the Family Festival offer diversion. Clubs and athletics give excellent opportunities for horizon-broadening and making the year memorable. We make life more than bearable; we make it special! n the hilarious Homecoming skit, a crazed Serior Mutzi (Hugh Kaplan) leaps to the desktop to convince Mr. Thorn (Scott Smith) of the necessity of a Jacuzzi-equipped language complex. Overflowing with enthusiasm, Mary Tabor cheers as the Buzzards throw another opponent into the dust. Opening 7 Pride and Tradition The lipstick of freshmen initiation, the excitement of a pep rally, the chaos of election week, the senior slump of fourth quarter, the incredible cramming during exam week. Small traditions are part of the special pride we have in our school. Pride and tradition are most meaningful, though, in our Honor system. Out of it grow all the important traditions of quality: the close relationship between students and teachers, the signing of the honor pledge after a test, and sportsmanship — win or lose.

' mmmmm Spring fever hii m ivi baseball, track, the talent show, Godspell; one more quarter and then final exams. The weather was warm, and we began to look ahead to summer. Frisbees flew over the parking lot during the second-half of lunch. A few non- conformists wore shorts. The seniors took their exams early, and the rising classes eagerly moved to their new chapel seats. No one believed how fast the year had passed. Exams are serious ° business, and we had to lower our heads to the books and take them. Then summer. Girls and sunshine. We finally made it. Endless school-less days spent by the pool, sleeping late, mowing lawns, Destin ' s beaches, summer jobs, living one day at a time. Stacks of desks clutter the empty summer halls while the rooms are prepared for another school year. Spring and Sunrtmer Divider 1 1 On April 24, 25, and 26, MUSTA ' D once again upheld its reputation for fine productions when Godspell was Dresented. The rock musical was seen 3y over 1500 enthusiastic theater-goers. GodspeJJ, by lohn-Michael Tebelak, is a jubilant celebration of the Gospel according to Matthew. The presentation of the Gospel ' s familiar stories and parables involves the use of pantomime, charades, puppetry, and vaudeville antics. The lead voices were ably handled by Kim lenkins as Jesus Christ, and Scott Stevens as John the Baptist. The twenty- five member chorus were cast as clowns in improvised costumes. The four-man band of Chip Crawford drums), Hampton Sides (piano), Greg Thompson (bass), and Paul Thornton guitar) provided a mountain of diversified music, varying from folk to rock. - Godspell was directed by Mr. Andy Saunders, and the music and choreography were handled by Mrs. Brenda Russell. The jobs of lighting manager and stage manager were aptly undertaken by Temple Brown and Jim Toussaint.

The underclassmen, especially the juniors, began looking forward to the next year. The hoopla and merrymaking of campaign week came and went. Shorts began dotting the campus, and exams loomed like vultures on the horizon. People began drifting outdoors. Frisbees, baseballs, fishing gear, water-skis, and swimsuits became common sights. Memphis in May and the Cotton Carnival provided entertainment as did GodspeJJ, the Talent Show, and the Spring Formal. Summer was just around the corner. Some guys will do anything for a vote. Bud Man Thrasher, with the help of Craig Christenbury, pulls out a last ditch effort to advertise his candidacy on election day. • During a dress rehearsal of GodspeU, Tom Higley shows his stuff.

Spring 15 i YOUTH: 8th-grader Manus Leads Young Corps Although youth is a vital asset to many sports teams at MUS, the 1980 golf team relied on youth to a maximum extent. Tim Manus, only an eighth-grader, had the team ' s lowest stroke-average per round and was medalist in twice as many matches as anyone else. A type of leadership different from Manus ' s was provided by Seniors Mike Brown and Allen Ruffin. Brown and Ruffin provided experience and consistency, qualities which complement youth. Sammy Gannaway, a sophomore, was the only Owl to earn All SAC-7 recognition, a distinction given only during the SAC-7 postseason tournament. Also on the team were junior Hal Fogelman and sophomore Mike Jones. Coach Mark Ramsey ' s squad raced to a 3-0 start. Included in the three wins was a triumph over Bishop Byrne, the lone Shelby County team to qualify for the State Golf Tournament. After the opening wins, the linksmen faced a formidable challenge in GBHS and the highly- touted Brad Weaver. The Owls unfortunately caught CBHS and Weaver in their best outing of the season. With their record at 3-1, the golfers suffered a loss to Memphis Prep, the second straight season that Prep had defeated the Owls by a single stroke. The team rebounded strongly for a convincing cakewalk over Catholic. The final match of the season against SBEC would determine the regular season SAC-7 champ. The contest, won by SBEC, was abruptly ended by rain as the match entered the crucial final holes. Paced by Sammy Gannaway ' s 71 on an unfamiliar course, the linksmen finished a respectable second in the SAC-7 tourney at Olive Branch. The golf team concluded its season by finishing fourth in the District tournament. Wie]ding an eight-iron, Mike Brown hits his approach-shot to Galloway ' s 11th hole. Brown ' s 75 in this match against CoUierville led the Owls to a 40-stroke rout. Tim Manus gracefuiiy follows through on his tee shot to the seventh green at Galloway. Manus shot a 71 in this match against Catholic, good enough to earn him a share of medalist honors. As his Catholic opponent watches, Allen Ruffin steers his birdie putt into the hole. The putt helped the Owls to their biggest margin of victory all season — 50 strokes.

In the 70 ' s new emphasis was put on playing shots that had topspin on them. Jeff Barry exhibits his mastery of the topspin shot. The serve is probably the most dominant element in tennis; here, Bubba Halliday concentrates on a good first serve. 18 Sports !Ra ■ LITTLE GUYS, BIG RACQUET Five Underclassmen Prove Competitive as Netmen Win District Mfen ftfMl liif ' ntf Tff jIri TENNIS (8-2) 6 Memphis Prep 3 3 Harding 1 8 Jackson Central-Merry 1 9 Bishop Byrne 5 Raleigh-Egypt 2 9 Catholic 2 MBA 7 1 Baylor 8 9 Briarcrest 8 Collierville 2nd Chattanooga Rotary 1st SAC-7 1st District 3rd Regional Individual Won-Loss Records; Gray 27-7, Lewis 5-9, Halliday 17-9. Kremer 25-10. Scott 19-8, Barry 24-9, Garner 7-0, Bernard 5-0 Aro- noff7-0. Burrow 2-0, Harris 2-0 As usual, the tennis team enjoyed yet another successful campaign. Under the guidance of Coach Bill Taylor, the team finished 8-2, with both losses coming at the hands of non-West Tennessee opposition. At mid-season, the netmen placed second in the select Chattanooga Rotary Tournament. As the season began, it looked as if five of the six starters would be returnees. However, Eddie Murphey shifted his interests to track, and Jimmy Brown transferred to Germantown. So, for the second consecutive year, the tennis team was quite young. The starting six included one senior, Jeff Gray; one junior, Bill Lewis; one sophomore, Bubba Halliday; two freshmen, John Kremer and Scotty Scott; and one eighth- grader, Jeff Barry. The netmen raced to a 6-0 record, heading into a road trip to Middle and Eastern Tennessee. The first match on the trip was against MBA of Nashville. Following a loss, the road trip continued with an appearance in the Chattanooga Rotary Tournament, as well as a dual match with perennial power Baylor. Although the trip was not a total success, it provided experience against some of the better competition Tennessee has to offer. After cruising through the regular season, post-season action loomed. Jeff Barry, the winner of the Harrison-Humphreys trophy, had ascended to the number one spot after Bill Lewis was sidelined with bursitis. Barry pulled off two stunning upsets over highly regarded Dale Tnompson of Harding during post- season play to lead the team to SAC-7 and District championships. Although the top six performed very well, the tennis team also enjoyed great depth. The following players combined for a 29-0 record, lending valuable help to the starters: Warwick Garner, David Bernard, Michael Aronoff, Jim Burrow, Greg Harris, Charles Jalenak, and Brian Sullivan. Departing from his usual two-handed backhand, |ohn Kremer returns a backhand-volley in the rain-shortened victory over Harding. Freshman Scotty Scott displays a perfect follow-through on his forehand shot during the Owls 9-0 pasting of Briarcrest. Tennis 19 YEAR OF SECONDS 2-Mile Relay Team Places 2nd in State The 1980 track team ' s season was highlighted by the two-mile relay team ' s second-place finish in the state meet. Overall, the team was 3-1, finishing second in the Harding Invitational, second in the SAC-7 meet, third in the MUS Invitational, and completing the regional meet in eighth place of 20 teams. — Senior David Percer established a new SAC-7 standard with a 52 ' 8 shot put, besting the old mark by seven feet. David placed third in the shot put in the regional meet. — Junior Tommy Meriwether, high jumping for the first time, surprised many observers, as he finished first in the MUS Invitational and third in the SAC-7 meet. — Freshman Mac McCarroll threw a 47 ' 1 shot put during the season. — Junior Keith Christenbury, a hurdler, got off to a brilliant start, breaking the Harding Invitational record in the intermediate hurdles, then breaking the MUS Invitational record previously held by his brother. However, after winning the district, disaster struck. With a regional title and trip to the state on the line, Keith hit a hurdle and fell, a dismal end to an otherwise outstanding year. — Junior David Taylor, who anchored the two-mile relay team, pulled out three races in just his first year to race. The eighth-grade track team finished its sixth consecutive season without a loss. This year ' s team was 6- 0. Two of the record-setters were Jay Steed in the high jump and Bobby Wade in the mile. Other notable performances were turned in by Rob Sumner and Jon Peters. As Paul Luttrell completes his leg of the 880- relay, Steve Lawrence takes the baton and begins the third leg during the MUS Invitational. With a Briarcrest jumper admiring from behind, junior [aden Wells strains for every possible inch on the way to a long-jump good for third place in the MUS Invitational. In preparation for the regional meet, the two- mile relay team of Tim Greer, Judd Peters, David Taylor, and jaden Wells (alternate for Davant Latham) work out under the watchful eye of Coach John Keesee. 20 Sports TRACK (3-1) 88 68 CBHS 56 Memphis Prep 33 Harding 67 120 Catholic 17 2nd Harding Invitational 3rd MUS Invitational 2nd SAC-7 8th Regional (10 teams) 8th GRADE TRACK (6-0) 78 Frayser Baptist 22 ECS 31 78.5 65 Elliston 35.5 Grace St, Lukes 19 Memphis Prep 37 Harding 31 1st Conference During quulifying heat for the MUS Invitational, Keith Christenbury strides to lengthen the distance between his opponents and him.

Characterized by good hitting and sometimes inconsistent fielding, the team proved very exciting to v ' atch. The pitching staff v as led by junior Bud Thrasher; junior Keith Johnson and sophomore Bill Proctor pitched well, but encountered some bad luck. Robert Ashley, a senior, turned in two important wins and a save. The bulk of the team was composed of underclassmen, with only three seniors on the squad. i l Hr t - .I-K-. ' ,• ' « Jn jSf i As a team, the Owls probably made their biggest improvement in hitting. The team had a team-batting-average of .302 as compared with the 1979 ' s team mark of .230. Several individuals made great contributions to the team, most notably: — Sophomores Bill Lansden and David McGowan, who led the Owls at the plate, both sporting excellent c .387 batting averages. — Brooke Rodriguez, a senior, was the team ' s MVP, as he provided spirit and leadership, as well as a .379 average. — Glenn Durham, junior third baseman, who delivered some key hits, as well as scoring the winning run in the SAC-7 tournament triumph over SBEC. — David Rudolph, also a junior, hit a strong .367, while playing a consistent leftfield.

I ' ve got to start reading my summer books! Although fall doesn ' t officially begin until September 22, its harbingers appear much earlier: the back-to-school sale begins at Sears, the fall sports teams begin practice, students begin reading those three books at a somewhat accelerated pace. At the book sale, we finally accept the harsh inevitability of another school year. We are, of course, in some ways glad. We get to see all our friends, show our new clothes, and tell a myriad of exaggerated anecdotes of our summers. Everyone is a grade older, and we have a new group of student leaders who promise us an exciting year with some super memories.

For some people, starting school in the fall does mess up things. For other people it is a time to get back together with friends and start practice or something. Most people find their niche in school after a while and seem to make the best of the situation. Hard work never seems to get in the way of our fun.

How We Get to School 33 Kt w ' M Swi ait ' W ' vPQi li NEARLY! One Goal Blocks Owls ' Path to State It may seem strange that a team with three losses can finish ahead of a team that suffered only one loss. Nevertheless, in the Memphis High School Soccer League, Harding with three losses, finished in front of MUS, with just one loss. The Achilles ' heel for MUS was five ties. The league ' s point system is based on six points for a win and one point for each goal up to three; no points are awarded for a tie. So, in reality, if MUS had scored one more goal in one of the ties, and thus gained a victory, the Owls, and not Harding would have gone to the State tournament. Ironically, Harding won the State tournament. Although the Kickers did not make it to the State, they have nothing to hang their heads about. The team enjoyed a fine season in what was billed as a rebuilding year. Last year ' s 16-3-1 squad lost 19 seniors. However, hard work last spring and summer paid off as the Kickers got a head start on other teams. The extra work resulted in a blistering 7- start, as the opponents could only muster one goal in those first seven games. When teams got a second look at the Owls, they began to play the Owls a little closer. A loss to Harding (11th game) and a tie with CBHS (14th game) took some of the team ' s early season momentum away. Nevertheless, the team finished with an excellent 12-1-5 record. The senior leaders of the team were Wes McCann, Robert Shy, Edward Smithwick, Chris Fulton, and Jef Kaplan. McCann, one of the team ' s co- captains, led the team in scoring. McCann ' s penalty kick goal in the second CBHS meeting gave the Owls their one goal in the 1-1 tie. Shy, who was second to McCann in scoring, put a Icontinued on page 36) Robert Shy is tripped up by a Glenmore defender as he starts his move for the goal. AUhough he didn ' t score here, Shy did put two into the back of the net in this 8-0 Owl win. A big surprise this year was the excellent goalie work of Scott Crosby; Crosby watches the Glenmore penalty kick go wide. s l - r ' 9 The Kickers were known for their hustle and determination; Jon Howard out-duels the Glenmore player for the ball. One of the keys to success in soccer is being able to set up an offensive pattern to penetrate the defense. Edward Smithwick looks downfield to see if such a play is developing. 34 Sports i This is a scene that Owl opponents saw often; Wes McCann on a breakaway. Although McCann did not score on this shot, he later connected on a penalty kick in this 1-1 tie against CBHS. Concentration, footwork, and speed — all vital assets. John Fisher combines the three elements as he overtakes the Glenmore defender, and heads downfield. Varsity Soccer 35 ■ NEARLY (continued) brilliant corner into the back of the net to give the Owls a 1-0 decision in the first CBHS clash. Smithwick, a co- captain along with McCann, was characterized by his ability to make things happen on the field. Kaplan was known for his agressive play and for his knack of being around the ball. Fulton, who spearheaded the Kickers ' transition game, added width and speed to the team ' s attacking formation. These five seniors were an intregal part of the team through both their ability and leadrship. Three juniors composed a fine regiment of fullbacks: George Gates, Tim Hayes, and John Fisher. A fourth junior, Scott Grosby, was a most pleasant surprise. In just his first year at goalie, Grosby posted 14 shutouts, including six in a row to begin the season. In addition, two sophomores, Larry Greson and Andy Seessel, joined the varsity and helped contribute to the team ' s depth. Goach Graig Schmidt again ably guided the soccer team. Although Goach Schmidt was in charge of the varsity and junior varsity, he received some valuable assistance in both programs from Zito Aur. Wes McCann, the team ' s leading scorer appears to be collecting another feather in his cap as the Craigmont goalie looks to be out of position; however, the ball caromed off the right goal post. Andy Seessel fires in one of the Kickers ' two goals in the 2-0 conquest of Craigmont.

Briarcrest 26 at MUS The 1980 season began with a clash against arch-rival Briarcrest. In this offense-dominated game, the Owls rolled up 402 total yards. MUS had 179 yard passing, while th Saints could only manage 29 yards through the air. David Rudolph was brilliant at quarterback, completing 8 of 12 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown pass to Lynn Ballinger. Steve Lawrence and Paul Luttrell led a balanced running attack with 86 and 82 yards respectively. Steve Lawrence, Al Lawrence, and Mac McCarroll each scored a touchdown. GAME TWO MUS 33, Wooddale 7 at MUS MUS completely dominated this game, running 44 plays to Wooddale ' s 18. The Cardinals got 29 yards on the ground; MUS, on tne other hand, rolled up 295 yards on the ground, led by Steve Lawrence with 96 and Tim Deaton with 78. Rudolph completed only two passes, but both were good for touchdowns to Ballinger. John Sharp and Paul Luttrell had key interceptions, which thwarted Woodaale drives. GAME THREE MUS 10, Germantown 7 at MUS The 7 team in AA, MUS, against the 4 team in AAA, Germantown. In the emotion-charged game, MLJS got on the board first, as Rudolph tossed a touchdown pass to Ray Moore. Sammy Gannaway added a second-quarter field goal to make it 10-0 MUS at halftime. The defense was tough throughout the contest. Angelakis had 10 tackles; Paul Luttrell added 8 tackles. The Devils scored a touchdown midway through the fourth period, and were driving again, when Mark Schaefer intercepted a pass to preserve the victory. Varsity Football 47 DEE-FENSE! Redoubtable Defense Allows Only 3 Points in 3 Games GAME FOUR MUS 21, Harding 0, at Harding Confidence permeated the football team as they invaded the Lion ' s Den of Harding. The game was hardly an artistic affair: e two teams combined for 16 penalties and 10 turnovers. The mistakes affected the Owls less as they came away with a hard- )Ught 21-0 decision. MUS took a 7-0 lead into the locker room at halftime, courtesy of a Steve Lawrence short plunge. Ithough two second-half scores proved superfluous, they might have been needed as Harding drove inside the Owl 10-yard ne on three different occasions, only to be repelled by the MUS defense. Rushing yardage was the only MUS dominated ategory as the Owls gained 285 yards on the ground compared with Harding ' s 107 yards on the ground. The defense was led by ed Angelakis ' s 11 tackles. GAME FIVE MUS50, SBEC3, atMUS The importance of the game against SBEC was to give some younger players a taste of action. And while the regulars srtainly contributed, the younger guys played surprisingly well. Brad Bolton, a junior, started in place of injured Lynn allinger. Bolton caught two passes for 63 yards, and had two other receptions called back. David McGowan generated some xciting offense (including a 55-yard punt return TD) taking over for starting QB David Rudolph. Alan Feild, Rich Williamson, nd Russell Wadsworth also played well in the spotlight. One negative note was the fact that MUS was again plagued by enalties, as they committed 10 no-no ' s. GAME SIX MUS 28, Bishop Byrne 0, at MUS The Bishop Byrne battle would be the Owls ' biggest SAC-7 bash so far. MUS ended the Red Knights ' two-game winning reak over the Owls with a 28-0 pasting. MUS dominated almost every aspect of the contest, capitalizing on eight Byrne irnovers. MUS led 15-5 in first downs, and claimed a 276-48 rushing advantage. The defense again played magnificently. Paul uttrell and Rick Thornton had eight tackles each. Interceptions were snared by Ted Angelakis, Mac McCarroll, Rick hornton, and John Sharp, who had two interceptions. The Owls also prodigiously pruned their propensity for penalities, icking up only a pair. .1 ! - , j 11 2fj yzB{4fB •80 FOOTBALL TEAM: first row Tommy Poirier, Sammy Gannaway, David McGowan, David Rudolph, Drew Harris, Steve Lawrence, Trey Jordan, Tim union second row Richard Davis, Ricl( Thornton, Alan Feild, Scott Douglas, [ohn Sharp, Murray Foster.

Homecoming 53 OWLS DROWN HUMBOLDT, NIP TREADWELL BEFORE BOWING IN SEMIFINALS On a cold, windy, and wet evening, the Owls began competition in the state playoffs by topping Humboldt, the defending state champs, 17-7. After a shaky start, Steve Lawrence gave the Owls a 7-0 lead. At halftime the Owls were fortunate to be tied 7-7, as Humboldt had had two opportunities, one created by a blocked punt, and another thwarted by a fine Keith Christenbury tackle on a Humboldt back bound for paydirt near the Owl goal line. But the game was decided in the third quarter, when with the score 7-7, Mac McCarroll galloped 79 yards for a touchdown. Against Treadwell, the Owls were lucky to survive with their unbeaten record intact. Two Lynn Ballinger touchdown catches paced the Owls to a 20-6 halftime lead. But the Eagles fought back, and had it not been for mass confusion after scoring their final TD, Treadwell would have had a shot at taking the game in its waning seconds. Although breaks played a part in the loss to Brentwood, the Eagles played better on that night. An example of the Owls ' misfortune occurred when, after taking the ball on their own 20- yard line, trailing 6-0, the Owls marched to a first-down on the Brentwood 2-yard line, only to see a missed pitch turn into a Brentwood score as the Eagle defender scooped the loose pigskin up and rambled 93 yards to make it 12-0. However important the breaks, the fine play of Brentwood ' s all-state quarterback Kent Austin cannot be overlooked as the major cause of the end of an excellent season. Mac McCurroU ' s running proved the difference in the win over Humboldt. McCaiToil rushed 15 times for 165 yards, including a 79-yard TD run. The contest with Brentwood was marked by turnovers converted to scores. This l)itch from David Rudolph to Tim Deaton went awry and was later turned into a Brentwood tally. 54 Sports IM As Keith Chrislenbury prepares to congratulate Lynn Ballinger, Ballinger and the officials simultaneously acknowledge his score, which gave the Owls a 20-6 second-quarter advantage over Treadwell. m4 ■ :-ik. ■ THE BOYFRIEND The MUSTA ' D fall production of The Boyfriend, a musical comedy of the 1920 ' s, was the first autumn musical in MUS theater history. The play, written by Sandy Wilson, showed at the Hyde Chapel on three successive nights starting October 30th. Director Andy Saunders picked an excellent cast which included some relatively new faces to the MUS stage. Senior Cole Nichols, as Tony, led the cast with a strong, superb voice. Maggie Eikner, a Sophomore from Hutchison, played the part of Polly Brown opposite Cole. Newcomer David Crighton, in his first MUS play, portrayed Bobby Van Husen, who wooed the beautiful Maisy, Mary Tabor, throughout the play. Both Tom Higley and Scott Smith turned in especially good performances. The suitors of the musical — Scott Vogel, Jonathan Rosenberg, Jay Mednikow, and Steve Mook — all added much life and good voices to the show. Behind-the-scenes workers with Mr. Saunders included Mrs. Brenda Russell (choreography and musical direction). Temple Brown (lighting director), Jim Toussaint (technical director). Chuck Blatteis, the assistant director, commented, I think this cast got along especially well together and had a great time. Tney deserve a lot of credit. 56 Student Life The boyfriend of boyfriends, Tony (Cole Nichols) looks on very calmly as Polly (Maggie Eikner) and Hortense (Dawne Dickey) determine his fate.

The independent candidate, John Anderson, was struggling. Reagan had easily swept the Republican nomination, while the incumbent Carter had encountered stiff opposition for the Democratic nomination from Senator Edward Kennedy. The key issue of the campaign was the economy, although the concern about the 52 American hostages in Iran also occupied the nation. Finally on November 4, 1980, the people elected Ronald Wilson Reagan as the fortieth President of the United States in an overwhelming victory in the electoral college. The people were fed up with the nation ' s extreme inflation rate and had given to Reagan a mandate to use drastic measures to better America ' s economy. 58 Student Life A perplexed Porter Feild squanders a free period attempting to correctly match the colors on a Rubick ' s Cube.

David Taylor, by finishing fourth in the state, established himself as the premier long-distance runner in MUS history. In the state meet, Taylor ' s 14:56 time eclipsed Mark Porter ' s 15:09 mark in the 1975 state meet, contested on the same Nashville course. Improvement week by week was the forte of the team. The runners opened the year with a triangular ' triumph over Bishop Byrne and Catholic. In the Bishop Byrne Invitational the Owls took third place; Taylor was fifth individually. The team journeyed to Franklin, Tennessee, where the elite of Tennessee cross-country gathered for the A.F. Bridges Invitational. A very respectable second-place finish to Frayser in a field of 27 teams proved to be a signal of things to come; David Taylor was sixth, Boyd Wade finished ninth. Another second in the MUS Invitational, again to Frayser, put the harriers in good shape for post-season action. First up the was the SAC-7 meet in which the runners took first; David Taylor finished first, Boyd Wade third, and Mark Frazier was fifth. The Regional title fell to the Owls as the four seniors all finished in the top ten. Although Taylor turned in a sterling performance in the state, the team as a whole finished ninth of fourteen teams. The cross-country team was blessed with excellent senior leadership. David Taylor, Eddie Murphey, Mark Frazier and Boyd Wade, returning to vintage form after being sidelined his junior year with an injury, spearheaded the Owls ' attack.

Cross-Country 61 TALENT Potential Seen Vs. Rugged Club Teams The junior varsity soccer team, the suppher of talent for the varsity team, compiled a 5-6-2 slate. That record is not actually indicative of the team ' s quality. The teams facing the IV Kickers have been playing together for about two years, whereas the Owls had been together only about five weeks before the seaon began. The only teams on the schedule that were not club teams were Glenmore, CBHS, and Craigmont. In addition to facing some tough opposition, the Owls used a great deal of young talent. The youthful players included eighth-grader Chris Crosby and sophomore Andy Seessel, who was later promoted to the varsity. The vast majority of the team were freshmen, led by co-captain Angus Webber. Some of the outstanding players on the team were Chris Cook, Chris Crosby, Matt Daniel, Lee McWaters, Robert Wallace, Paul Reaves, Shawn Snipes, and Angus Webber. Crosby played midfield and scored many of the team ' s goals. Wallace, a freshman, played sweeper and was noted for his rugged style of play. Reaves and Snipes split time as goalie. Weber, co-captain with Andy Seesell, played center-halfback and exhibited skill in his passes and shots. Coach Craig Schmidt called this the most talented JV team MUS has had. He added that many of the players will start for the varsity in the years ahead. As in the varsity program, Zito Aur, the ace in the hole for MUS soccer teams provided valuable assistance to Coach Schmidt. In the Mustangs ' game, Chris Cook makes the best of a penalty kick to give the Kickers one of their four goals.

After getting off to a 4-0 start, the roof fell in. Bobby Wade, fullback and linebacker was lost for the season with mononucleosis. Then, in the fifth game, running-back James Carter dislocated his shoulder. And finally, quarterback Walker Hays suffered a broken back in the next-to-last game. The highlight of the season was the fact that in 14 consecutive quarters the opposition did not score (Harding, Bishop Byrne, Catholic, and two quarters against Prep). The defensive leaders were Wade, Bob McEwan, and Rob Sumner. Offensively, Wade, Hays, Carter, Chris Beard, and George Early were the standouts. But everyone on the team had to contribute because before the injuries the squad consisted of only 22 players. Through it all the team maintained the qualities of effort, determination, and spirit which impressed Coach Don Walker more than anything else about this team. Bobby Wade ' s ballcarrying, as well as his defensive prowess, was a major part of the team ' s early success. Wulker Hays provided leadership from his quarterback slot before being injured.

Capturing its division, the team was unchallenged for the league championship. All 44 warriors contributed to make the success a balanced effort. Shea Ross, a fullback, epitomized the spirit and desire of the squad as he was awarded the Sportsmanship Trophy. The offense was piloted by Parker Phillips, whose execution constituted a vital part of the team ' s success. Other standouts on offense were Jay Steed and Shea Ross (running backs], Dede Malmo and John Albritton (receivers), and Owen Tabor and David Schaefer (line). On defense, the Owls allowed but two scores all season. The outstanding performers were Steed and Brent Turner (Hnebackers); Tabor, Mike McCormick, Jody Edmondson (line); and Tim Wise and Tommy Lipscomb (backs). The team ' s defensive mark is the best of any eighth-grade team in recent years. Coach David Jackson was most impressed by the squad ' s willingness to play and its eagerness to get better by learning more sophisticated plays. Coach Jackson added that most of the players have bright futures in the MUS football program. Concentrating intently on the current play, Coach Jackson ponders his next move. The team ' s perfect record was very rewarding to Coach }ackson in his second year as a head coach. An important ingredient to any potent offense is a good line. Anchored by center David Schaefer, the offensive line paved the way for a 30-0 triumph over Prep. The offensive catalyst of the team was quarterback Parker Phillips.

We at MUS have been stamped by many as not only a prep school but also a preppie school. Indeed, WHBQ ' s PM Magazine highlighted the school in a segment about prepmania. Ironically, when the lights were on and the cameras rolling, the best of the preps behaved in a manner befitting yahoos with a low level of self-respect. Recently prepmania has been receiving much publicity. The Prep Handbooii by Lisa Birnbach is an example of this. After having weathered Leisure, Disco, and Cowboy, Prep has returned to its rightful position in the forefront of the fashion world. One of the most striking similarities among MUSers is attire. The Ruggers of yesteryear have bowed to an elite phylum of the wild kingdom. Alligators, ducks, and horses roam the campus while foxes and penguins hide in fear of ridicule by the dominant species of the natural hierarchy. Marlin Perkins would certainly feel at home. However, exotic pets are not the only prerequisite for an MUSer. This button-down zookeeping covers only clothing. Prepiness isn ' t just skin deep, it encompasses the personality. Like it or not, everyone at MUS is at least a deviant form of prep. There are Naturalist preps, Western preps, Born-again preps. New and Improved preps, Transcendentalist preps. Social preps, Radical preps. Conservative preps. Punk preps, Derigible preps, Athletic preps. Intellectual preps, Channel 24 preps, True preps, Un-preps, and Anti-preps.

At the Owls ' helm was once again Coach lerry Peters, fast becoming a leg- end in Shelby County coaching circles. Coach Peters was counting heavily on seniors Scott Patterson and Kevin Rus- sell to give the Owls a shot at a school first: a State Championship. The campaign opened with an impressive win over Central, 53-46, Pat- terson and Russell combining for 35 points. After topping White Station 59-41 behind Patterson ' s 31 points, the team faced an old nemesis: East. Although the Owls shot 62% in the contest, it took a 33-9 Owl surge in the game ' s last nine minutes to insure a 69-56 triumph. The win was the Owls ' first in their last five meetings with East. Defending state champ Trezevant was next up. MUS soundly disposed of the Bears 69-49, as Patterson and Russell combined for 54 points in a physical contest; senior jaden Wells dished out 10 assists. CBHS floor mistakes carved the path for a 62-42 Owl win over the Wave. Scott Patterson tallied 17 points, and Wells and junior Scott Rose had seven assists each. The return encounter at Central proved to be the team ' s first setback of the year. A gritty Warrior defense and a 29% shooting Owl squad signaled a 47- 38 Central win. The team rebounded strongly to crush Briarcrest 82-48, and avenge two of last year ' s losses; Russell snagged a team season high 18 rebounds. A second win over Trezevant, their first home defeat in two seasons, was a big win before a two-week break. The excellent guard play of Wells and Rose was a major part of the victory (16 and 14 points respectively) as the Owls improved to 7-1 on the season. Kevin Russell, along with senior Scott Patterson combined for one of the top 1-2 punches in Memphis. Russell ' s patented turn-around jump shot was a menace to opposing squads all season. Kevin scored 18 in this 79-65 win at Trezevant. Good guard pJay is essential to a well-rounded offense. Senior Jaden Wells averaged seven assists and seven points a game to get the Owls ' offense generated. 80 Sports Soaring past two FACS defenders, Scott Rose glides toward the basket in the Memphis HoUday Tourney championship game against the Crusaders. Rose had six assists and six steals, typical of his solid play, as the Owls won the game 63-41, as well as the tournament title. Prepared to hil the offensive board if necessary, Scott Patterson and Kevin Russell watch intently as [aden Wells ' foul toss finds nothing but net. Skying for one of his trade-mark jumpshots, Scott Patterson concentrates on foUowthrough. Early in the season Patterson established himself as the all-time leading scorer at MUS, when he scored his 1346th career-point against Central in the season- opener. Varsity Basketball 81 W ill liJli 1 After exams, the Owls began play in the 11-team Memphis Holiday Tournament. The team ' s first game was an easy thrashing of Sky- View, 75-42, as MUS outrebounded the Eagles 50-20. In the semis against Briarcrest, the Owls prevailed 51-41 as Scott Patterson and Bud Thrasher combined for 31 points and 14 rebounds. The Owls totally dominated FACS in the finals 63-41 as Jaden Wells and Scott Rose controlled the game with their 11 steals and 16 assists. Kevin Russell made the all-Tourney team and Scott Patterson ' s 71 points and 31 rebounds in the three games earned him MVP honors for the second straight year. As the team journeyed to Prep to commence the SAC-7 circuit, it gained even more momentum with word it was ranked no. 1 in Tennessee AA circles. Patterson ' s 24- point, 13-rebound effort along with Jaden Wells ' 12 points, 8 assists, and 8 steals highlighted a 56-45 Owl triumph. Entering the contest with SBEC minus Jaden Wells, who had broken his wrist, the team still easily disposed of the out-manned Trojans 59-28, as SBEC did not score until well into the second period. The absence of Wells was more noticeable the next night, as the Owls lost a hard-fought 44-40 decision to CBHS. The Wave stopped the team ' s inside game as Patterson and Russell got only 15 shots between them. Their record now at 12-2, but still ranked no. 1, the Owls got by a stubborn Briarcrest squad 61-49. The big boys really hit the boards as Patterson and Russell combined for 35 points, 25 rebounds, and six blocked shots. Four technical fouls marred the Owls 65-55 triumph over Bishop Byrne; Scott Rose and Judd Peters jelled well at the guards, both handing out five assists, some to Patterson, who had 29 points. In the semi-finals of the Memphis Holiday Tournament against Briarcrest, Scott Patterson drives for two of his game-high 23 points. 82 Sports m Going fo the offensive boards for one of his 13 rebounds and putting in two of his 24 points, Scott Patterson leads the way for the Owls ' 56-45 win at Prep. Judd Peters ' aggressive, hustling style was an important ingredient in tho team ' s winning recipe. Against FJriarcrest }iidd takes it to the glass for two points.

Sophomore James Rantzow came into his own and provided the team a much-needed boost at mid-season. In a state of disbelief after a referee ' s call, Scott Patterson considers hurling the ball at a certain striped person. Patterson, who scored in double figures in every game, scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in a typically sterling performance against East.

Solidly entrenched in first place in the league, the Owls began to gain momentum for post-season play. The Buzzards hosted bitter rival Harding, and as usual a close game was at hand. In this renewal, the Owls won by two, 46-44, after trailing by one at halftime; Scott Patterson led the team ' s charge with 20 points. Next, the Owls faced another tough game, as they disposed of Collierville, 44-39. The Buzzards expected a tough game at Catholic, but got anything but that after racing to a 16-2 lead. Patterson pitched in 18 points and Scott Rose tallied 14 as the Owls defeated the Chargers 70-49. Yet another strong second-half performance turned the homecoming game against Prep into a rout, 53-36, as Rose scored 18 points, and handed out seven assists. The team then journeyed to SBEC as 53 second-half points gave the Owls an 89-36 laugher. Scott Patterson, Kevin Russell, Scott Rose, Phil Graves, and Bud Thrasher all scored in double figures. The return of jaden Wells after a wrist injury was felt immediately as Wells hit the winning bucket at the buzzer to give the Owls a 52-50 win over Catholic, after trailing by seven with 2:30 remaining. Expecting a tougher challenge, the Owls went to Bishop Byrne and crushed the Red Knights 82-61. The team shot 61 percent from the field and received a big boost from Tommy Meriwether, who came off the bench to score a season-high 18 points. MUS out- rebounded the Knights 40-13 en route to clinching the SAC-7 regular-season title. The top-ranked Buzzards next faced the unenviable task of going into the Lions ' Den of Harding. After trailing at halftime, the Owls again came from behind to win, 60-51, behind Patterson ' s 24 points. The final home game for seven seniors was made a smashing success as the Owls bested Collierville 66-40, quite a difference from the first meeting, to finish conference action 12-0, and overall 23-2 for the regular season. 27 seemed to be a popular number for the Owls in the district tourney, as they defeated Harding 67-40, and Prep, in the championship game, 73-46. Against Harding, the Owls found themselves down 13-4 early, but kept their poise, and outscored the Lions 63-27 the remainder of the game; Scott Patterson was simply superb in both contests, scoring 30 against Harding, and 23 against Prep on the way to being named the MVP of the tournament.

Steve Threlkeld had a team-season high 19 points against Trezevant and in the win over Prep, 12 players scored (David Montague, Barton Thrasher, Phil Graves, and James Rantzow played JV at timesj. The team put together another win streak — this one also eight games — which ended the season. Included in those wins was a come-from-behind 47-43 victory over a Millington squad composed of several Trojan varsity players. To conclude the season, the JV participated in the 6-team Kirby Tournament. Having received a first-round bye, the team defeated White Station 46-31 in the semi- finals as Bubba Halliday and Brad Wilkinson scored 13 each, and Craig Christenbury grabbed 16 rebounds.

The winning record was the team ' s first, after going 5-6, 6-7, and 6-6 in its first three seasons. First-year coach Barry Ray relied on seniors jack Kelley (unlimited), Kyle Touchstone (167 lbs.), and Clayton Rogers (145 lbs.) to provide the ( leadership to an otherwise youthful squad. Along with the three, David and Stephen Galloway provided the bulk of experience. David wrestled at 119 and was named the best grappler at the Raleigh-Egypt Invitational, and Stephen was tabbed best at the district tourney at MUS. Among the most improved wrestlers were Dan Boyd (126 lbs.), and Touchstone. Many members of the team gained much needed experience by attending various summer wrestling camps.

Wrestling 87 tmimimma mmiKmoBau Amazing (continued) The team gained some notice by opening the season with a narrow three- point loss to Germantown — and without a coach, as Coach Ray was still occupied with football. After defeating Millington for the first time ever, the team suffered a tough three-point setback to Bishop Byrne, generally regarded as among the elite in Tennessee wrestling. The narrow loss to the Red Knights was further confirmation of the strength of the Owl wrestlers. The team then finished a very respectable third in the Millington Invitational, which had 14 teams, and third in the 18-team Raleigh-Egypt Invitational. The regular season ended with a big win over arch-rival CBHS, as the wrestlers gained momentum for post-season action. The SAC-7 tournament enabled the Owls to have another shot at Byrne, but again finished a close second. Then came what Coach Ray called the highlight of my coaching career, as MUS captured the championship in dramatic style. In the regional tournament, the team finished third behind CBHS and guess who? — Bishop Byrne. Stephen Galloway took first in his weight class, and David Galloway placed second. In addition, Clayton Rogers, Jack Kelley, Dan Boyd, and Adam Kriger finished to compete in the state meet at Nashville. The six wrestlers represented twice as many wrestlers as MUS had ever sent to the state, and was a clear sign of the direction the wrestling program is headed. First-year head coach Barry Ray encourages his grapplers from ringside — Ray ' s first season was highly successful. 1980-81 WRESTLING TEAM; first row Dan Boyd, David Galloway, Adam Kriger, Alex Williams, Brian Levinson second row jack Kelley, Tom Owen, Kyle Touchstone, Stuart Aronson, Clayton Rogers.

Coach John Keesee attributed his team ' s success to the fact that the squad played in a very team oriented style. The team ended the regular season strongly. After defeating SBEC and Prep and an impressive victory over Bishop Byrne, the Ov ls lost a one- point heartbreaker to Briarcrest, despite Jeff Barry ' s 16 points and 12 rebounds. Barry then poured in 17 as the Buzzards crushed Coliierville to end the regular season and win the SAC-7. After defeating Coliierville tv ice, the team was unable to turn the trick a third time, as the Dragons eliminated the Owls from the district tournament. The team concluded the season by taking first place in the Grace St. Luke ' s post-season tournament.

Explosive Offense Blitzes Hapless Opponents When a team wins all 18 of its games, defeats all but five of its opponents by at least 20 points, sets a record for points in a game, and averages 55 points a game playing six- minute quarters, you know they ' re something special. And special is exactly what describes Coach Lin Askew ' s eighth- grade squad that went 18-0 and won the St. Louis Invitational. The team ' s potent offense was led by Jim Barton, who averaged 18 points an outing. Barton ' s top games were 33 points against Holy Rosary (the entire team scored 47), and 28 against Harding. Of course, to score you have to get the ball and the squad was blessed with someone very adept at getting the ball to the shooters: that someone was Tim Wise, whom Coach Askew described as a wizard with the roundball. Wise averaged six assists per game, getting 10 assists against Briarcrest. Barton had some help on offense as Brent Turner and Parker Phillips added a valuable outside touch. The Baby Buzzards also received strong bench help from Dede Malmo, Scott Williams, Owen Tabor, Allen Halliday, and Brett Patterson. To hold a team to the fewest points possible, a team must have a solid defense. The Owls were able to defense all types, including a 6-3 St. Ann ' s player who was held to three points and no rebounds. In rebounding, Doug Hartman was the chairman of the boards. In addition, Owen Tabor had 12 rebounds off the bench in one game. The squad acquired a feather in its cap, when on Feb. 5, the eighth-graders set a team record for most points scored — 96 against Woodland. The overall smartness and talent of this team have earmarked several of its members for future contributions to MUS basketball. As Tim Wise (11), Scott Williams (12), and Doug Hartman battle their Briarcrest opposition for position, Parker Phillips skies to grab the tip-off.

Academic excellence and thorough preparation for college are trademarks of our experience at MUS. Academics Divider 107 math science Science Center Brings Out Best The 1.2 million dollar Science Wing was completed in April of 1980. In a short time it has become so accepted that students seem to think that it has always been here. Those few who still remember the relatively archaic science facilities of the past receive it with excitement. The elaborate mini-labs rival those of any university. Overhead modules hang like stalactites from the ceiling, and orderly arrays of lab tables protrude from the floor. The building seems to have rooms and compartments of which only the designers and a few lower schoolers are aware. Needless to say, with the addition of these splendid facilities, the gap between the high teaching abilities of the faculty and the amount of information actually absorbed by the students has been greatly reduced. With the exception of the addition of Coach Dean to its roster, the Mathematics Department is basically unchanged. However, one curious observation should be made: the increasing use of transparency projectors instead of the traditional chalk. Although most students accept the change without qualms, those wearing glasses have expressed difficulty with excessive glare. All changes in the name of progress.

Math Science 109 ENGLISH HISTORY Do I Have to Read All This by Tomorrow? A student enrolled in an English or history course will find himself spending a great deal of time reading. Instruction in history begins in the seventh grade with a study of the American governmental system and the Presidency. Seventh graders do outside reading and make periodic reports in class. Ancient and Medieval History, Modern World History, and American History are Upper School courses which require many lengthy reading assignments. The history electives, Cultural and Intellectual History and America Since 1939, require the most independent reading. The material for class discussions originates in these outside readings. The Humanities course, elected either as a history credit or as an English credit, is very popular among seniors. Dante ' s Inferno and other works are used as supplements to the basic text. Civilization by Kenneth Clarke. The class provides the student with insight into the origin of man ' s culture. As early as the seventh grade, literature becomes a welcome break from the rigors of English grammar. Opinions soon change when the student becomes enrolled in Upper School literature electives where 40-50 page assignments a night are a way of life. Works such as A Streetcar Named Desire and The Sound and the Fury are examined in The Southern Renascence course. A new elective, War and Literature, gives students an opportunity to observe life during war. Catch 22 and The Red Badge of Courage are read. Though different in scope, all electives have certain features in common: long assignments, numerous essays, quizzes, and the ever-popular research paper. Before his next class, Mr. Thompson brushes up on his explication of Tennyson ' s Ulysses. Mr. Boehe ' s Greek joke about Pythagoras passes over the heads of [ohn Willmott and Brian Warner, who seem to be left in a daze during Ancient and Medieval history class. 110 Academics Dr. Marshall, a newcomer to the faculty, stares in disbelief as a seventh grader asks who wrote The Declaration of Independence. Richard Cape and Ted Angelakis are amazed at the grade just received on one of Mr. Russell ' s numerous essays in an English elective that studies satire and Utopian literature. Evidentiy upset about giving an A on an essay, Mr. Deaderick reluctantly returns Jeff Levinson ' s paper in A. P. American history. English History 111 imiiijuuiiiini mam languages religion • Ancient Yet Modern MUS has long prided itself for instructing students on culture and history of civilizations while imparting information which is presently applicable. Comprising highly capable faculty members, the Religion and Foreign Language Departments both have made the study of the past relevant to the present. Headed by Latin I instructor Mrs. Betty Jo Higgs, the foreign language program encompasses a large number of students. While Mr. Mutzi stresses Spanish grammar and pronunciation in his classes, he puts great emphasis on Spanish history. Oral and written proficiency are significant in Mrs. McKee ' s French classes, but the Madame pl aces importance on French culture and literature also. Mrs. Reinhardt and Mrs. Higgs introduce Latin students not only to Latin grammar, but also to Roman mythology, culture, and history. City, state, and national tournaments play a large role in the Latin program. The MUS Bible program, headed by Mr. David Jackson, offers students a thorough study of religion. Seventh graders participate in an Old Testament survey taught by Mr. Osborne, and freshmen study the New Testament. Mr. Jackson offers juniors and seniors several electives, including Philosophy of Religion, God in Human History, and Comparative Religions. Through its many offerings, the Bible Department most clearly demonstrates that modern relevance can be applied to a study of the past. In his Freshman Bible class, Mr. Osborne reviews the social and political conditions during the time o Christ. I i Listening lo a stimulating French dialogue, Mrs. McKee ' s students are overcome by an unexplainable urge for sleep. After attempting to entertain his class with several Spanish jokes, Mr. Mutzi realizes that he is the onl one amused. 112 Academics In one of his regular Wednesday Chapel talks, Mr. Jackson reads a parable from the Bible.

The most common excuse for the short-lived escapade is to listen to music tapes. If those tapes were listened to half as much as the Lower Schoolers would have you to believe, the tapes would be among the top ten hits of the decade. The average study hall losses 10 to 15 percent of its students to the music-tape ruse. As soon as the study period begins, the students are lined up in front of the proctor ' s desk, waiting to turn in their notes and head over to the library, where the lower schoolers make the librarians work for their monthly pay checks. While at the library the Lower Schoolers participate in a variety of activities, none of which is studying. Two of the most popular activities are reading the latest issue of Mad Magazine and disrupting the students who are studying. Even though most of the Lower Schoolers do not study in the library, some of them do study so maybe something is accomplished. . . and go do this.

With careful strokes, Gary Kellett finishes a bird-winged airplane for his Art I final project. Fine arts at MUS tend away from the classical vein of study generally associated with the term and, instead, stress more actual performance and participation. By and large Upper School students earn their Fine Arts credit in Choral Music or Applied Art. The Fisher Fine Arts Building is designed for students to do, not just to be taught. Ample space is provided for art studios, music practice rooms, and sections for stage construction and student publications. One of the two main Fine Arts courses at MUS is Choral Music, under Mr. Williams. Attracted by the co-educational aspect, students learn the techniques of singing. The choir displayed its talents throughout the year at the Christmas program, the Testament of Freedom, and the spring concert, along with statewide choral competitions. For those without the vocal chords, Applied Art with Mr. Bowman is available. Art I provides the opportunity for any student to use his hands and rest his brain. For the specially talented, Art II gives a second year for further work in the traditional media along with an independent second semester. Another manual Fine Arts course is Theater Arts, taught by Mr. Saunders. Here hopeful thespians work on sets and learn lighting and the behind-the-scenes workings of the theater. The Lower School gets into the act, too. The seventh graders spend two days a week in the art studio driving Mr. Bowman insane. The other two days are devoted to music. Like the eighth graders, they study music and play the famous handbells. However, for the academian who prefers a more intellectual atmosphere, Mr. Russell ' s Art and Music Appreciation is offered. Art Music 117 T ELECTIVES I Need an Easy Grade A non-academic course which would give me experience in talking to others — I had been informed that the only class requirement was to get up and talk to the class. An easy course, right? Wrong! Mr. Saunders ' Speech class is by no means a pushover. The class requires eight speeches per semester of three types: entertaining, persuasive, and informative. Mr. Saunders gives few A ' s. Most grades are spread out from B ' s to D ' s. Since I am a senior. Ecology should be a breeze. Ecology is a course mainly for ninth and tenth graders; there is no homework except studying for tests. And hey, I won ' t have to study! But more D ' s than A ' s result from this course, and Mr. Saunders requires a term paper. Mechanical Drawing is meant to help future engineers and architects. I will major in business, but drawing will be easy. Then Mr. Saunders starts talking about orthographic projection, isometric drawings, section drawings, and perspectives. Hey, who are they? If I don ' t keep up, which I won ' t, I ' ll make a D; if I have no interest, which I don ' t, I ' ll make a D. What about Mrs. Caldwell ' s Psychology course? Psychology is just getting hypnotized and hearing about headshrinkers, right? No way! Mrs. Caldwell gives three tests per quarter, one quiz per week, one term paper, two class experiments, four reaction papers on class trips, and fifteen pages of reading a night. Please, say no more! I ' m going to take Typing. I have finally found an easy course. Mrs. McPherson, the new typing teacher admits that Typing requires no outside work, no major tests, and only one quiz every two weeks. The entire course is based on typing speed and class work. If I can handle the speed tests, then I will do well; if not, I am out of easy electives. The electives are not as easy as I had thought; any course is hard if the student makes no effort. Kelly Truitt points out to Chip Bennett that cartoons are not a part of isometric drawings. Mrs. Caldwell ' s psychology class observes the Hutchison kindergarten class as a class project in studying growth and development. Trr iwa,,, ' rnrnm  ■ .

Coach Keesee watches as these Upper School students sharpen their basketball skills. Robert Davis tries to build his muscles for Pumping Iron U. 21-14. 52-50. 3-1. 5-4 in ten innings. To the average person, these statistics represent scores of high school, college, or professional ball games — football, basketball, soccer, baseball. But to many students, these figures represent sweat and energy exerted to insure a victory in the world of physical education. Through the diligent leadership of Coach Keesee in the Upper School, Coaches Alston and Walker in the Lower School, and the numerous PE assistants, a large percentage of students go through the rigors of PE four times a week. In addition to daily exercises, the participants do combat on the field and on the court in flag football, basketball, softball, and wrestling. The Upper School students also attempt to tone and develop their physiques by utilizing the school ' s weight room. Coach Alston and Coach Walker have their own special activities such as the rugged, sometimes suicidal, yet always exciting knee football. Whether through victory in combat, or through the victory of participation, or, even more importantly, through the victory of satisfaction through self-improvement, many students find physical education the most exciting and enjoyable portion of the school day.

The students have to brave speed bumps and two stop signs to get from one campus to the other, but when they reach their destination, they beheve that the trip is well worth it. Choral Music has always been a popular course. The boy girl ratio in Mr. William ' s class is even. The class did the annual winter and spring concerts, and this year the male choir presented The Testament of Freedom on George Washington ' s birthday. With the completion of the new science building, Physics, Chemistry, and Phy Chem are becoming popular courses. Melissa Prion even takes Calculus at MUS because it is not offered at Hutchison. Mr. Russell ' s Humanities class and Mr. Saunders Ecology class are as strong as ever, and Mrs. Caldwell ' s Psychology class is quickly gaining appeal. Bible is also growing in popularity as the girls seek spiritual fulfillment. Contemporary Issues, taught by Mrs. Stanton, is one of the most interesting Hutchison classes. The class has covered everything from the history of Memphis to the problems in Iran this year. The students have discovered that this c course really helps them understand perplexing world problems. Since Spanish III and Spanish IV are not taught at MUS, these courses have always been taken at Hutchison. A new course taught by Mr. Jolly is Speech and Drama. The students have taken part in such activities as adlibbing key scenes in plays and building sets. Because of schedule conflicts, one student, Henry Koon, takes Applied Art at Hutchison. All the students involved in mixed courses find that they give them a change from the routine of school. Junior Michael Howard leaves Hutchison in a daze after spending an hour with the girls in his Spanish III class. Seniors Stephen PhiJJips and Win Bonner are only too eager to help Leslie Bouldin with her work. This is one of the reasons why guys enjoy taking Hutchison classes. C I ' ' tf.. .

Commissioner of Student Welfare Rick Thornton and Commissioner of Student Services Ted Angelakis provided invaluable services to the school. Thornton helped out with a tutoring program and maintained the Lost and Found while Angelakis assisted the coaches by selling tickets at games and handled Lunchroom Duty. The Council also initiated a program designed to make the Lounge a cleaner and nicer place to visit during free period. The Council joined with the Civic Service Club to put on a schoolwide Fast and Winter Charity Carnival with the oroceeds from both events going to Easter Seals.

It ' s ime for us seniors to leave and go on to bigger and better things. Memphis University School means something different to each person. I can only elate what it has meant to me, and what effect in particular the Honor System las had on me. When one becomes a student at MUS, le becomes associated with the best. In Bvery area of school life we can boast of 3xcellence. One only has to look at what A as accomplished this year. In academics, the fact that this year ' s senior class had eighteen National Merit semi-Finalists is a good indication of the strong academic program. No other school could boast of having that many semi-Finalists. I know I have received he best education possible. I ' m thankful all the teachers for making me work lard. I hated all the work at the time, but low I see that I am prepared for whatever college throws at me. I see vhy it was all necessary. In athletics, we had one of the best football and basketball teams in the state. As a member of the varsity football team, I ' ve never had a more satisfying experience. Undefeated seasons and trips to state semi-finals don ' t just happen; they take a lot of hard work. I can safely say it was the greatest time of my life. But football and basketball weren ' t the only winners. The cross country team won the regional, our soccer team had another winning season, our wrestling team became a force in high school wrestling, tennis, golf, baseball . . . And then there ' s the Honor System. This is what really makes MUS great. There are no locks on lockers, teachers can and do leave the room during tests, and one can even lay a book down and know that it will be there when he returns. As in any system of this type, violations will occur; then the Honor Council comes into play. Composed of students elected from every grade, the Honor Council is charged with the responsibility of seeing that the Honor Code is upheld and that violations of the Honor System are dealt with fairly and justly. Sure, there are drawbacks to the system. Students will always have trouble turning in one of their classmates. It might be considered not cool. But the older one gets, the more he realizes how immature that kind of thinking really is. Having an Honor System is a privilege, and as a student and Honor Council President, I have really come to appreciate that privilege. It ' s been a great year. I ' ve enjoyed every minute of it. I sincerely hope that future classes will continue to strive to be the best in everything and that they will keep the oldest and most important tradition of the Honor System working not merely in words, but in action. Students are allowed to leave locks off their lockers. A sense of trust pervades all aspects of school life.

The 1980-81 OWL ' S HOOT staff has attempted to fulfill this obligation by actively soliciting articles which represent the diverse interests associated with many of the organizations, clubs, and cliques at MUS. Editor lef Kaplan, faculty advisor Mr. Norman Thompson, and a group of dedicated editors oversaw a staff of writers, reporters, artists, and photographers who worked countless hours to put out a newspaper that reflected the views of the students. Each student who wrote an article for the publication was given a position on the staff, and each section editor was available to criticize, comment, or correct the copy submitted. This system, which allowed the staff to work closely with all the editors, will, according to Kaplan, build a storehouse of competent writers and editors for future years. Special features of this year ' s OWL ' S HOOT included an election edition which predicted Reagan ' s victory. As in the prediction of the presidential race, the OWL ' S HOOT relied on the use of polls, which were distributed among the students, in order to collect the thoughts and trends of students. The MUS Outdoorsman — a column about hunting, fishing, and four-wheel driving — was added to the list of signed columns which included Kaptions, Sound Off, and Sports Highlights. Interesting interviews were an enjoyable feature of this year ' s paper. The HOOT staff published the contents of conversations held with nationally known recording star Keith Sykes, sports czar Avron Fogelman, and other outstanding figures from the Memphis community. The Lower School students, under the direction of faculty advisor Mr. Terry Shelton and editor Parker Phillips produced three good editions of 7 ' he Half Hoot. This was the fourth year for the Lower School to publish its own newspaper. Genius is OB ' A. perspiration and 17,. inspiration. Edward Smithwici works on his I ' i .

Studio, under the direction of Mr. Andy Saunders, was very productive. Although no production was undertaken during the first semester, the T.V. assistants spent a great deal of time editing and re- recording programs that were recorded off network television for use in the classrooms. During the second semester, the crew worked together in production of a CCTV show. Feature presentations, such as an interview with Rock 103 ' s Redbeard and student feedback segments, added new life to the news shows. Since much of the equipment had been used for purposes other than production in the past, some rewiring was necessary to get the studio in top shape. This was possible only with tne help of Mr. Leigh MacQueen, who helped put the studio together nearly ten years ago.

The label of literary magazine can be deceiving because while the MUSe accepted worthy poems and short stories, it also received many fine drawings, paintings, and photographs. The MUSe took contributions from anyone in grades seven through twelve. The magazine gave students an opportunity to test their creative skills as well as to have some of their work published. Editor Hugh Kaplan and Associate Editor Temple Brown noted the cooperative staff as one reason for the magazine ' s success. All through the editing process, the meetings carried a sense of optimism and great expectation. Because of the surprisingly good pool of entries, the staff was able to put together a quality magazine. fi ' tor Hugh Kaplan looks over a few entries. MUSe-CCTV 135 HI ■Hi tmm Sass ' n ' Brass Spirit was promoted by the 8th grade, freshmen, and varsity cheerleaders. The incorporation of innovations as well as traditions encouraged the athletic teams on to outstanding seasons. A few freshmen cheerleaders joined the Varsity girls at the Ole Miss Cheerleading Camp during the summer in order to raise the standards of the group. New alternate uniforms for the Varsity cheerleaders and yell leaders were a pleasant change of pace. In addition the number of girls in the Varsity and 8th-grade squads increased to help promote more enthusiasm and spirit from the student body. Tradition also encouraged cheering and support at games and pep rallies. Such traditions include the Pep Band, Mr. Thorn ' s 15 rahs, the Fight Song, pom-pon routines, and occasional decorated cars and locker rooms. Along with the support provided by the cheerleaders, two other organizations played a vital role in creating the school ' s success in sports. One of these organizations was the Ish Kabibble Pep Band headed by Jonathan Rosenburg. The group not only played in pep rallies but also performed during half-times of many football games using amusing geometric formations such as circles an d octagons. The other was the Pep Club spurred on by President Wes McCann. Not only did he spark interest in each athletic event, but he also pulled the club out of debt.

Southern Outdoorsmen Enjoy Life Rrring . . . the alarm sound pierces the silence that has been in Bill ' s room for, , at the most, six hours. Bill very sleepily gets up and shuts it off. It is 4:30 a.m. and the opening day of duck hunting season. Bill wouldn ' t miss it for the world. He goes to the bathroom and splashes cold water on his face; then he goes back to his room and puts on five layers of clothing that he hopes will keep him warm. It is about 4:45. Bill goes downstairs to grab a small breakfast with his brother and dad. Anxiety is already bubbling inside Bill; he can ' t wait to be standing in the water waiting for his limit of 100 points. Bill gets into his four-wheel-drive jeep CJ-5 (he doesn ' t care about Sixty Minutes] and starts off on the 45-minute drive to the hunting lake where he goes every opening day. He gets there about 5:45 and begins to get his gun and shells ready for the hunt. He hurries to his favorite spot and is all prepared at a little after 6 a.m. Ahh! just perfect! Soon it becomes time for the sun to start warming his body, and he will be able to view the figures of the creatures which he has been hearing for the past 35 minutes and dreaming about for the past two months. This was the experience many outdoorsmen went through during the winter months. Other outdoor activities which M.U.S. students were involved in were skiing and trap shooting. The highlight of the Ski Club ' s year was the trip to Winter Park, Colorado, over Spring Break vacation. They also went water skiing several times at nearby lakes during the second term. The Trap Club, which was a steady customer to the shooting range outside Memphis, improved its marksmanship by going almost every Wednesday after school. Overall, the outdoors provided a great place for many students to enjoy the year.

The Chess Club, promoting the most ancient of strategy games, is once again becoming a major club, challenging and being challenged by other schools in the Memphis area. Next year, the club is expecting to reach an all-time high under the guidance of Rob Woodbury and Jay Mednikow. For those of a more athletic personality, there are the Ping- Pong and Billiard Clubs. The Ping-Pong Club, led by Greg Harris, plays primarily in the lower school gym, where intense competition can be seen. The Billiard Club is made up of an easier-going bunch, but they still take their game seriously. The Backgammon Club is one of the most widely supported clubs. Under the able leadership of senior Stuart Aronson, the now famous Big Bad Bob ' s Backgammon Bonanza has sponsored four tournaments and enjoyed unparalleled success. Finally, one the most unusual game clubs is the Dungeons and Dragons Club. Its members, described by many as fanatics, can always be found either playing D D or arguing about the rules, rules that outsiders cannot understand. Mr. Dean has Tommy Lee (background) working off a Saturday school by figuring out the odds of his winning the match against his opponent, Charles Jalenak.

Games Clubs 143 Active Groups Promote Leadership Many organizations provided leaders for the school and fos tered leadership in others. One of these was the FCA Club. This club, designed to provide Christian fellowship among athletes, got together once or twice a month to enjoy a game of basketball and hear an inspiring Christian speaker. The club was led by Lynn Ballinger, who did an excellent job in arranging all of the club ' s meetings. Another club was the Mechanics Club. They worked on about fifteen cars, doing anything from tune-ups to body work. They even put together an old Vega and sold it in order to get money for the school. Another aspect of school leadership was the Peer Council, which tutored many students and helped others get along better with their fellow students and teachers. The advisor, Mr. Steve Oehmen, helped provide the school with a group of students who were willing to help others in whatever way possible. Along with this group was the Civic Service Club, which had a great year with President Greg Thompson doing an excellent job. MUS teamed with Hutchison to form the Youth-in Government Club, which had many meetings, listened to several speakers, and allowed students to get involved in city government. In a model United Nations at Memphis State, on February fifth through February seventh, eight students along with about 120 other students from other schools met to participate. Each two students gi to represent a country and try to follow the role of that country in the real United Nations. This meeting gave the students a chance to see how the U.N. works and also a chance to meet other students from neighboring schools. The 1980-1981 Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Variety is the Spice of Life The Modern Musicians Club, a rather new club, brought together guys who play instruments used in rock music. The club activities have included going to the ZZ Top concert, comparing musical equipment, and playing in the football homecoming jam. Another club, the Frisbee Club, with the nice weather that came in the fall, had time for many meetings. The functions were held in Audubon Park where Frisbee Golf and the simple life of just throwing a frisbee were enjoyed. The Fencing Club provided students the chance to increase their swashbuckling techniques and to dream of the day when they could rescue a fair maiden in distress. Along with these three clubs, two others provided outlets for student enjoyment. One of these was the Computer Club, which met several afternoons to further their knowledge of computer equipment and help P.D.S. orient students to the new computers that P.D.S. had bought. The other club was the World War II Club, which has been fairly active in a war game tournament. The club donated a book to the library concerning World War II. With all of these opportunities for activities, students were able to make their school year a fun one. Variety Clubs 147 6191 Park Avenue is a place of excellent facilities; but without people, MUS would not exist.

But what exactly does that mean? Why is being a senior so eagerly awaited? The benefits are numerous and apparent. First are the official MUS senior privileges. We can go out to eat and go to the front of the lunch line. Seniors are allowed to take cuts and can be exempt from final exams. Present, too, are less tangible rewards for the three-year wait. The senior is king-of-the-hill; for one year he is the almighty of the high school set. He has one last fling before going on to college and then the real world. But with the rewards must come the responsibility of being a senior. The Senior year is filled with parties and revelry but also with decisions and deadlines. Each new Senior Class must step in and fill the roles of leadership — in sports, student government, publications, and general school life. College looms ahead in the minds of the seniors. For many who are looking at the more competitive schools, at least one semester ' s hard study is required. ACT ' s and SAT ' s and ACH ' s and all the other tests must be taken. Applications must be written. Finally, after all the work is done comes the long wait until the colleges ' decisions arrive. The college application process is not an easy one. For most, the senior year is well worth the wait. Challenges are met and overcome, and good times are had. It is a time we live for the pleasures of the moment. It is a time of reminiscence, looking back on the four, six, or more years that we ha ve spent with our friends. Finally, it is a time of looking forward to college and to the start of a new stage of life.

Last spring, when everyone began to think of our class as the school ' s next group of seniors, some ha d doubts about how much this class could amount to. In some ways those pessimistic expectations have been met. Certain extracurricular antics of the Midtown Rowdies, which include a large number of seniors, cast aspersions upon the conduct of our class in general. And then the Death Mobile . . . Would we be holding our ten-year reunion at Brushy Mountain? Maybe not, but this class has its share of part-time rogues, rascals, and hard-core partiers. Even among the good guys there was speculation: who would be the annual editor? the yell leaders? who would lead the Student Council? the Class of ' 81 Comes Through Honor Council? These and similar questions filled people ' s minds last spring. But when the new school year rolled around, the positions of leadership had been well filled, and the seeds of a memorable year, a good year, had been sewn. The year opened with the announcement of the National Merit semi-finalists. The Class of 1981 produced eighteen, a new school record. Student council President Andy Meyer and the Council, forced to be economically self-sufficient, came through with vigor and efficiency with a variety of fund-raising schemes, such as car washes, the Fall and Winter Festivals, and movies. If our class distinguished itself in any way, it was undoubtedly in the area of athletics. We had the best football team ever. The victory over AAA state- runnerup and arch-rival Germantown and the devastation of Memphis Prep demonstrated the strength of the team. In cross-country, David Taylor, MUS ' s best runner, placed fourth in the state. A stacked basketball team had as its goal no less than the state championship. MUS had its very best wrestling team ever. Throughout every sport, seniors exhibited the highest level of endeavor, performance, and leadership. Not much may have been expected of the class of 1981, but we turned out all right. During a lull in the action of Psychology, Lee Dillon lays his head (down on his book and tries to learn the wonders of the mind through osmosis as John Edmonson counts down the seconds until the bell. 154 Exhibiting leadership and guidance typical of MUS seniors, David Rudolph helps David McGowan with a tough chemistry problem. What really goes on in calculus class? The mathematicians usually cram ninety minutes worth of work into an hour ' s class period, but occasionally the pace is lightened. On the last day of the first semester, the class held a party; John [ones, Glenn Durham, Richard Taylor, [on Dreifus, and Tommy Cloar enjoy their cokes and crispy Doritos while they work puzzles.

The Troubles We Go Through Making a rare Monday appearance, Bill Harwell is lulled back to sleep by Mr. MacQueen ' s morning announcements. Chronic tardiness is a widespread senior disease. The college application scene is an inevitable one for the senior. If he is ' lucky, no major disasters will happen; everything will run smoothly. But not all of us are that fortunate. Somewhere along the process — visiting colleges, taking standardized tests, or working on the actual application — mishaps, embarrassing but memorable, occur: — being kept awake all night at Columbia by fun-loving pranksters setting off the fire alarms. — getting five Southwestern applications mailed to you. — arriving in Princeton, New lersey, at 11:15 and just then discovering you have an interview at 11:30. — having the record of your Tulane interview lost. — misspelling your name on the PSAT. — getting three of the same catalogues sent to you — one for the Student Search, one for writing the college, and one for visiting the college. — forgetting the postage on your William and Lee application. — watching a Dartmouth soccer game in subfreezing temperatures, wearing only a shirt. — driving to White Station from Arkansas to walk in on the SAT, only to find that you did not have the right forms. — forgetting to mail the application fee with two of your applications. — remembering the application fee, but forgetting to send in the rest of the application.

Most notable among these was the chance to forgo Mrs. Lenti ' s unique cuisine and go out to lunch. Thursdays during seventh period was the most popular time; inspection of that day ' s sign-out sheet could find forty or more 12:00 ' s. (Wasn ' t it amazing how everyone could leave at exactly the same time?) Popular spots were Pizza Hut and Pizza Inn with all-you-can-eat specials, Danver ' s, Wendy ' s, ' Arby ' s, McDonald ' s, Bennigan ' s, Waldo Pepper ' s, Highland St. Deli, etc. The most regularly frequented dining establishment though was the Super Sub Shop, because of the efforts of the Super Sub Club. The Super Sub Club, open to all seniors, has become such a popular institution that two charters were submitted this fall. ! Stuart Aronson ' s club won the race: he became the president with Eyal Mardigs and Peter Strong as officers. The chief benefit to club members is the free (non-alcoholic) beverages they receive; and if the club preorders enough sandwiches, it gets a six- foot sub, spread across two tables. The Super Sub Club, meeting on Thursdays and Fridays at the Shop on Poplar at White Station, usually attracted fifteen to twenty seniors each week. The biggest turnout was on Sub Day Picture Day. Even though the photographer forgot to put film in the camera, a quick trip next door to Fox Photo saved the day. The Super Sub Shop benefitted from the arrangment, too. Video- addicted seniors poured the quarters into the space invaders game, and Win Bonner consumed mass quantities of turkey subs. The Super Sub Club afforded a place where seniors could go with the certainty of having others with whom to eat. It was one more factor that helped to build senior unity. Enjoying their membership in the Super Sub Club, Berk Donaldson and Chip Bennett chow down on their subs and free drinks while Chip Clay awaits his.

All-conference halfback Steve Lawrence, like all MUS athletes, gets no preferential treatment in a rigorous academic environment. 176 Underclassmen [on Howard orders his class ring. What do a Japanese sun and the price of a class ring have in common? They are both rising. In the past few years, the price of a ten-carat gold class ring, which is the one most often bought by MUS juniors, has skyrocketed, while the percentage of MUS juniors buying a class ring has decreased. To combat this decline and to provide students with a wider range of prices, manufacturers now offer not only the traditional gold class rings, but also rings made of new space-age metals, such as celestrium and quasar plus. Presently about as popular as a loss to Christian Brothers, these space-age metals may become more popular as the price of gold continues to soar. Other ways manufacturers try to entice a student ' s desire for a class ring are to offer the ten-carat ring with a hole in the gold behind the stone and to offer a ring that is partially gold and partially celestrium. Even with the ever-increasing prices, there will always be those students who want to buy a class ring either for its monetary value or its sentimental value. But, for a large portion of MUS juniors, thfe price of the class ring will weigh heavily in the decision to buy a class ring. When thinking of the price of a class ring, a student need only remember what Superman always said before flying off into the air, Up, up, and away.

After lighting his way through the murky depths of the seventh grade, he has reached a pinnacle of life that he is seldom able to achieve. He rules the Lower School with more authority than anyone except the great wizard himself, Mr. Springfield.

Was I that small? Could I ever have been so minute that I could fit inside a locker? Yes, I was, just as almost everyone was when he first entered the hallowied halls of Hull Lower School. Did it not feel strange when you went up to the lectern to read the Bible verse and then, as if lightning had struck, you realized that you could not see over the top? What a relief it was to find out that you had a locker that you did not have to strain to reach! In study hall, getting out of the desk was like jumping off the Empire State Building because your feet were so far off the ground. But the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages, knowing that one day you would be able to look at your teachers eye to eye or maybe even look down at a few of them; realizing that at some time in the future you would be able to see what was on your lunch tray before you picked it up; exultant that you would eventually discover that having an upper locker is an advantage rather than an ancient form of Chinese torture.

The extent of the intellectual conversation at a rock ' n ' roll concert is severely hindered by the deafening amphf iers as people peer at their favorite stars through billowing clouds of smoke. , „ One of the most popi lar aretas of ' Jl:;, nightlife for JylOS tttdetttsis the rocic ' and roll concert. Almost every student attends a rock concert at sometime during the year. The students enjoy actually seeing the star that recorded the hit single that echoes in the student lounge. In the last few years. Memphis has blossomed into the concert center for the Mid-South area. A new enterprise called Mid-South Concerts is responsible for contacting and booking the bands. Mid-South Concerts has re-established Memphis ' as a prime music center for recording, and for stage shows. - ,; The 1980-81 year was a good year , yV; for the MUS students to see the big ,, ;, ,, bauds perform. One of the biggest billed concerts was The Who. Students flocked to see this famous band play, Van If al tt, Qtiieon and the Kink$ headlin-ed f ' fee ' late summer -; shows. Bob Seger sold out two nights in Memphis in the fall. x Seeing tlietr favorite band live is - ' ' ' ' ' ' well worth the price of admission for most MUS students. Ticket prices soared this year to as high as $12.50. But even high prices could not keep the students away from the shows.

The city has seen professional football, basketball, and soccer come and go like the wind. The failure of Memphis professional sports has been attributed by many to poor fan support. For example, one of the leading sports stories this year was the transaction that sold the Memphis Rogues soccer team to Calgary, Ontario. However, the Memphis Chicks baseball team attracts large crowds, and the Chicks ' games are very popular among MUS students. The most popular sporting events in Memphis seem to be the annual ones. Students flock to the Danny Thomas Memphis Golf Classic and the U.S. National Indoor Tennis Tournament. The Liberty Bowl is a sellout every year. This year proved to be no exception as Purdue and Missouri squared off for an exciting game, won by the Boilermakers 28-25.

Stephen Phillips, BiJJ Wilson and Tim Hayes sack loads of cans for delivery, while Wyatt Isbell tries to sneak away. f 1( % Civic Service Sees Growth The Civic Service Club ' s activities were especially successful. One reason for the success was the new requirement of a civic service point from each student. The student could earn his point through some involvement in a civic service area. The student could participate with the school or on his own. In the early fall, childien from Boys ' Club were brought to the Family Festival. The annual Thanksgiving Can Drive saw students bring canned food to their homerooms each morning in the hope of winning a keen homeroom competition. Mr. Haguewood ' s homeroom won the competition with 250 cans of food. Over 2,000 cans were delivered to needy families. During Christmas, the club held a party for more Boys ' Club children. In February, the club organized Charity Week along with the help of the Student Council. Activities included the annual Rock-a-thon, a senior pizza pig out, a student fast, and the annual Winter Charity Carnival. All money that was raised was given to the Easter Seal Society. The club also sold bumper stickers for Le Bonheur Children ' s Hospital. In preparation for tomorrow ' s fast, Harris Levell and Willie Bettendorf join their fellow seniors at the Senior Pizza Pig Out for Easter Seals. Henry Kenworthy and feff Smith while away the hours at the Rock-a-thon. Over four hundred dollars was raised by the rocking students. Civic Service Club 215 Compliments of MR. AND MRS. E.

The companies with the most famous names in security want you to believe they are the best in the business. Guardsmark doesn ' t beheve 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, 901-522-7900, and find out how we can help you all across the country.

The team ' s first game was against the host Trenton Tide. In this contest the Owls, after getting used to an unusal gym, held off the enemy 55-48. In the semifinals four days later, the Owls met conference rival Bishop Byrne. From the outset the Knights, obviously inferior in talent, played stall ball . Leading 8-4 at half- time, the Owls escaped a brief scare to pull away and win by a 27-20 count. In the regional finale the team ran up against a buzz-saw: Humboldt, as the Vikings partially recompensed MUS for an earlier gridiron tilt. Kevin Russell ' s 20 points was the only bright spot in the 58-38 Humboldt victory. Russell and Scott Patterson were named to the All-district squad, while Russell, Patterson, and a deservant Scott Rose received All-regional honors. The Owls, now 27-3, faced Cen- tral in the sub-state game at White Station. The two teams, who had split two contests during the regu- lar season, played a physical, de- fensive game, as neither team held a lead bigger than six points. But in the end. Central prevailed 48-43, and MUS ' hopes of a trip to Mur- freesboro were ended abruptly for the third straight season. Inciden- tally, Humboldt and Central, the last two teams to conquer the Owls, met for the State Championship, Central won. The Owls were led in scoring by Russell with 10, and Patterson with nine - two of the vital cogs in MUS ' 82-12 mark the last three seasons. Having his path through the Trenton Tide cleared by team mates, Scott Rose lays in two points. The Owls held off the stubborn opposition to post a quarterfinal win in the regional tournament. As Harding faithful look on helplessly, Scott Patterson drives for two of his 30 points against equally helpless Harding defenders. Jeff Wise positions him.self for a possible rebound. The Owls crushed the Lions and were equally impressive the next night, pouncing Prep to claim the SAC-7 crown. 251 n n B 1980-81 Faculty and Administration ADMINISTRATION D.

The Civic Service Club in conjunction with the student council sponsored a charity week in February. During the week students participated in various activities designed to raise money for the Easter Seal Society. In competition with 27 other schools to raise the most money, MUS placed second with $1150. The top eight schools each won the prize of sponsoring an hour on the Easter Seal Telethon on April 28. The MUS hour, 7-8 a.m., was hosted by Greg Thompson and Andy Meyer. Six other students filled the VIP phone booths. Although the telethon was a monetary success, the reward of helping children while having a good time, was enough to make any MUS student happy. There were not many high points in the Owl ' s setback to Humboldt in the regional finals but Tommy Meriwether ' s acheivement of the ultimate in basketball, a slam dunk, was memorable. As Central ' s Glynis Turner prepares to toy with a Scott Rose attempt, Kevin Russell and Scott Patterson time their jumps. The Owls were able to rebound with the better jumping Warriors.  innnnniiniiiip°° ™wM ™w '  i ' i« -iifflffl inHiiB)«nm i mmHmim mmimiii i iiiffli ' ' ™ ' tt ' Mt tlHl THE OWL 1981 Editor-in-Chief Chris Fulton Darkroom Editor Temple Brown Photography Editor Paul Schaefer Sports Hal Fogelman Student Life David Taylor, Bud Thrasher, Judd Peters Organizations Scott Crosby Seniors Clayton Rogers Faculty Robert Davis Underclassmen Donald Brady, Chip Tipton ' • Memphis Greg Thompson ■ ' Ads Larry Lee Index Greg Harris Ad Campaign Hugh Kaplan • Business Manager Jeff Fuller Advisor Mr. Ellis Haguewood DARKROOM STAFF: Chip Clay, Chris Fulton.

As editor of the 0 NL I have become very aware of all that MUS has given to me. I offer this book as a thank you to MUS and all the friends I have made in my six years here. — Chris Fulton 256 The End o 19. 20. Scenic Tour Contin ' d i5. Home of a l)asketball dynastw i6. The locker room, with impeccable student bathroom hygiene, meets even Coach Keesee ' s tough standards. ;-■. As close as most MUS students come to busing. 18. Here the truck from D. Canale Food Distributors backs up to unload. Small table rarely visited by seniors. All you can eat! That is, all you would want to eat — and it ' s finger lickin , all right. . 1-25. Anatomy of a Saturday School. Step 1: stroll through the hallowed halls (211 at 12:38 pm. Step 2: visit Warden Peters ' office (23). Step 3: hear your name (along with 87 others) over the announcements and see it posted on the administrative bulletin board (24). Step 4. gain entrance to the building on Saturday through these white doors (22). Step 5; dazed and confused, stumble into the Lecture Room and ' egetate for two hours, ostensibly studying. During the school week the Lecture Room is the site of obscure electives that no one really takes. 26, This dank den belongs to the student body. It is called the Common Room. Despite sticky floors, inadequate lighting, and a triple-digit decible level, students come here to study. 27. For some reason, this is the school symbol. 8, Spacious front green, suitable for polo, cricket, or croquet. 9. Additional parking courtesy of Bill Harwell. The bogus yellow- lines were quickly removed by the administration. i oO. Four-wheel-drive Row. 31. Practice football field complete with soccer goals at each end. 32. Student Loading Zone. No parking. Too bad. 33. Pay phone that no one uses because Mrs. Brugge will let you use hers in the office. 4. Better not turn left here, bucko. fftWrrnT iiUuUiililllU r- - - a w ■ IIIIIIII I IIIIIIIIIIHI P I IIIHI II I IMIIIIII II IIII IIH IIIIIII IIIM II II I io t. A RV ' s s-. ' Jwi
