We looked forward to Destin or the Rockies. If we were not traveling, we might have been lifeguarding at the YMCA, taking summer English at school, or plodding through our summer reading. Baseball, track, tennis, and golf turned into swimming, skiing, and racquetball. Annual camps, newspaper workshops, and student council seminars occupied a part of the summer. Most of us, though, were just taking a break. Jay Steed hands off to Jeffrey Rowe en route to yet another 8th-grade 440-yard relay victory. SPRING AND SUMMER 1 1 :C£! SS As Ken Johnson and Scott Patterson look on, Glenn Durham connects with a Harding pitch. In this meeting MUS upset Harding 3-1. Umpires occasionally make questionable calls. It is needless to say that Coach Walker didn ' t think his runner was out. Mike Pierce didn ' t make it home. MUS, needing the run desperately, lost to SBEC 3-8. 12 SPORTS ■ — — — -— - ™- ' BASEBALL 6-11 14 Catholic 5 1 Raleigh Egypt CBHS 4 12 3 SBEC 8 8 Collierville 15 3 Bishop Byrne White Station 11 9 4 14 Harding Bishop Byrne Catholic 18 5 5 6 14 Memphis Prep Glenmore 14 2 4 Collierville 5 3 7 10 1 Harding Memphis Prep SBEC District Tournament 1 5 8 1 Memphis Prep 11 STILL PLUGGING Batting Average Improves, but Pitching and Fielding Continue to Cause Problems In this fourth year of baseball at MUS, Coach Walker ' s chewers continued to fight an uphill battle. After the loss of two major pitching prospects, the Owls were forced to use an inexperienced pitching staff. Bill Proctor was ruled ineligible, while Bud Thrasher suffered an injured elbow. The squad was also plagued by inconsistent fielding. Nevertheless, the team was characterized by good hitters and solid With his brother Ken at second base, Keith Johnson prepares to let fly one of his better pitches, a curve ball. base runners. Six members of the squad boasted batting averages of over .300: Bill Landsden, David Rudolph, David McGowan, Bud Thrasher, Mike Pierce, and Alan Feild. The team improved throughout the season and posted victories in its last three conference games against Hard- ing, SBEC, and Prep. David McGowan and David Rudolph earned All SAC-7 honors for their fine play. 1981 BASEBALL TEAM: ? - row Andy Stein, Phil Graves, Glenn Durham, Ken Johnson, Tim Wise. second row Tim Deaton, Jon Howard, David McGowan, David Rudolph, Mike Pierce, Alan Feild, Keith Johnson, third row Jim Burnett, Bud Thrasher, Scott Patterson, Barton Thrasher, Bill Lansden, Walker Hays, Coach Don Walker.

The old 2-mile-relay record of (8.01.6) also fell when Jaden Wells, Judd Peters, Ed Murphey, and David Taylor ran a time of 8.01.8. But at the Harding Invitational, disaster struck. Christenbury sustained a muscle pull. Before mid-season Ed Murphey and David Taylor were also suffering from injuries. With its strongest runners put out of action, the team lost the momentum it had gained earlier in the season. The season was highlighted by two outstanding performances in the Regional meet: Mac McCarroll and Ted Angelakis placed second in the shot and discus, respectively. Mac McCarroll gives the proverbial 110% in this 220-yard race against Wooddale. Scott King painfully hands off the baton during the 440-yard relay finals in the MUS Invitational Meet.

The mall ' s grand opening coincided with the MUS ' 81 - ' 82 grand opening. With the grand occasion came the solution to the riddle of the geometric shapes adorning the mail ' s roof: that is, that they serve no purpose at all. With the end of September came the renovation of the Clack Dining Hall overhead. A team of highly skilled construction majors (with high honors at the Captain Davis Institution of Architecture, Driving, and Slave Labor) uprooted thejj roof and replaced it with a space-age layer of tar which, quoth a local dietician, ■ ' makes a pretty good grade of gravy. EDIFICATION U shouldn ' t come as such a surprise. It ' s the kind of thing that ' s been going on since the beginning of civilization. With the exception of a few generations, the growth of architecture has been going on since centuries B.C. The corner of Park and Ridgeway is merely another block of the expanding world, but as students come and go, the altered landscape and terraced horizon will come to be familiar. Like the St. Francis Hospital and the Hyatt Regency, obtrusions like the Park Place Mall and the new trans-Ridgeway railroad| bridge will no longer be recognized as new and exciting points of interest and will blend into the ever-changing ken of the MUS campus. As for the library and the lunchroom roof, that ' s simply called internal ameliorations. 22 STUDENT LIFE :3 Hyde, Library is New and Improved!

Scampering across the globe, whether in Paris or their own backyard, students proved once again that they can make the most of wherever they are. Summer vacation for MUS isn ' t just going to Destin, it ' s doing Destin. It isn ' t going to Europe, it ' s going into Europe. Summer means not only plowing one ' s way through three books, but learning from places visited. Tom Higley ventured to Colorado late this summer where he took this picture of a secluded valley in Arapahoe Basin near Dillon, Colorado. A poignant sunset silhouettes two fishing boats in the Bay of Cozumel off the Yucatan. Brad Wilkinson toured the Mayan ruins on the west tip of Mexico. 24 STUDENT LIFE Scott Crosby and Marshall Odeen with several aspiring members of Memphis ' Young Life hiked to Canada in the latter half of June this summer, Scott claims all made it to their destination of Niagra Falls without major mishap. I At Wuthering Heights, junior John Haglund took this picture of Kyle Touchstone, Mark Frazier, Mr. and Mrs. Deaderick, and Hutchison ' s Mary Tabor as they listened to the histrionic Alan Hendle, their tour guide, lecture on Bronte novels. The lecture was but one part of the MUS-in-England tour. t- I n WSBBBk IK VACATION 25 PART TIME Many-a-vapid student would say that summer vacation meant cramming all the relaxation possible into three months, but many-a-sedulous student took it upon himself to earn a little extra spending money. Students became lifeguards, yardmen, busboys, waiters, construction workers, fast-food employees, and even office workers. Hundreds of hard-earned dollars were prudently invested and saved. Thousands more, unfortunately, were squandered on consumables, fed to video games, burned by the gas tank, set to surf in Destin, and spent on fair members of the opposite sex, but that ' s capital circulation. Working under the driving force of Captain Davis, Stephen Galloway managed to pick up a few dollars this summer trimming the campus. If one were to stroll into the rather colorful clothing store Greg ' s, found on the Mid-America Mall, the beaming face of Steve Threlkeld would likely greet you as he employs his unctuous drawl and mercenary smile in hopes of selling you some of the latest in Southern fashion. 26 STUDENT LIFE Ron Helmhoul and Mike Marsh wile away the long lazy summer days sitting beside the Colonial Country Club pool while simultaneously drawing minimum wage. William Webb hops aboard his Honda Express six days a week and hurls the Memphis Press- Scimitar to fifty-three recipients. Shortly after this shot was taken, a large unidentified brown dog nearly consumed William, his fifty-three papers, and his bike, but William wadded up the afternoon ' s edition and discouraged the attack. Todd McLemore and Jim Toussaint turn a forest like the one in the background into a dirt field. Here Todd conveniently drops tons of dirt into the Toussaint-piloted truck in order that the atest store bearing his name (McLemore ' s) can be put up without delay. JOBS 2 wfl 9UMMER ETC. Jim Crumrine takes advantage of an early-in-the-school-year sunny day to partake in the frisbce throw — an event which signaled the end of summer. In preparation for a-tiother successful football season, Bill Lansden, along with the rest of the team, spent many long hours on the practice field this summer. Here Bill leads an exercise designed to stretch the hamstring to twice its normal length. Donald Brady apparently doesn ' t understand Dan Boyd ' s desire to study the art of water skiing from a different angle. 28 STUDENT UFE In a spastic attempt to escape the searing heat that stretched into the school year, Wesley Grace takes a flying leap vhile Michael Pickens strikes a pose that may one day land him a job at James Davis.

STARTING BAC ii The fall brought little snow. Al Lawrence, Taylor Hammonds, and Mott Ford run for cover after a futile attempt to make a rainman. Heavy rains provided a multitude of deluvian problems as students tried to make their way from one building to another without drowning. Mr. Boelte and Tom Owen cast furtive smiles, having just realized that they could foul up all eighty-eight of the senior ' s college plans by merely changing the school ' s College Testing Code Number and not telling anybody. SDPD. Four letters which combined stand for possibly the most intensely awaited holiday of the year. Synonymous to the return to school. School Day Picture Day is tantamount in a perverse and desperate way to a snow holiday. 32 STUDENT LIFE Coach Keesee remains captivated as Jimmy Harwood goes into his second hour of maintaining this difficult stationary position on the chin-up bar. The all-knowing look of Steve Mook is enough to convey to Mrs. Warner why he has not done last night ' s Calculus homework. This penetrating stare has been known to melt video-circuit panels together and burn holes in chalkboards. Inspired by the silence of the hallowed halls during class, James Rantzow dashes off a sonnet in sextet form about the promise of the ' 8 1 - ' 82 basketball season. Though rejected by Mr. Boelte and the administration, three arabesque dancers from Memphis State appeared suddenly one afternoon and tried to inspire a spontaneous chapel program by performing Stravinski ' s controversial ballet Rite of Spring without music. BACK-TO-SCHOOL 33 STATE CHAMPIONS Soccer Team Upsets CBHS in Semi-Finals, Whips Baylor in Finals Led by captains George Gates and Jon Howard, Coach Graig Schmidt ' s soccer team began its drive toward the state title with day-long practices in mid-August. With a strong senior nucleus consisting of Scott Crosby, John T. Fisher, Mark Grochau, Mike Howard, George Gates, Jon Howard, and Thornton Brooksbank, the Owls won their first three games against ECS, Glenmore, and Catholic. In the Oak Ridge Invitational Tournament MUS beat Webb School of Knoxville in the first round. The Owls had to settle for second place when host Oak Ridge beat them 2-0 in the finals. The team easily defeated their next two opponents. Central and Auburndale, but three key players suffered injuries: Jon Howard, Angus Webber, and Larry Creson. The Owls lost their next match with CBHS 2-0 but depth of talent propelled the Owls to further victories over CDS, ECS, and Central. The team lost their second game with CBHS, and one week later tied Craigmont 1-1. With one week left in the season the Owls began to get their act together. With Webber, Creson, and Howard fully recovered, the team scored an easy win over CDS. The last regular season game saw the Owls in top form as they beat state-contender Harding 3-2 in a shootout. In the Tennessee Dixie Soccer Conference Tournament, the team defeated Craigmont 3-2 in a shootout, CBHS 2-1 in a shootout, and Chattanooga Baylor 2-0 to claim the state title. (For state tournament details see page 37.) Coach Schmidt makes mental notes of errors which he intends to correct during the next day ' s practice. Matthew Daniel and John T.

VARSITY SOCCER 35 The experience of the soccer team ' s defense contributed greatly to its success. George Cates halted many attacks on the MUS net such as this one in the Glenmore game. Lee Mc Waters tries to kick the ball out of bounds. Although this advance was checked, CBHS found the net twice during this game. MUS fell 2-0.

Junior Andy Seessel scored twice in the second half to give MUS a 2-1 lead; the first half had been scoreless. Visions of an easy win disappeared when a Craigmont goal was scored with only 28 seconds left in the game. Play continued through two scoreless overtime periods. In the shoot-out Jon Howard, George Cates, Larry Creson, and Robert Wallace scored; Craigmont put only one past keeper Scott Crosby. Semi- Finals MUS 2, CBHS 1 The Brothers dominated the first half, but overwhelming student support helped MUS gain momentum in the second half. Larry Creson scored, but once again the time ended with a tied score. In the shoot-out CBHS was unable to score; Howard, Creson, Wallace, and Cates scored for MUS. CBHS had beaten the Owls twice, but MUS had won the game that counted. Finals MUS 2, Baylor On a sunny Halloween MUS met Baylor to determine which team was the best in Tennessee. The first forty minutes of play were scoreless. At this point a Baylor defender ' s hand touched the ball; Jon Howard easily placed the penalty kick in the net. Like the first, the second half was dominated by MUS. With five minutes left Thornton Brooksbank passed the ball high in front of the Baylor goal; Angus Webber headed this final goal in. Thornton Brooksbank pushes the ball downfield during the state semi-final game against CBHS at MUS. Coach Craig Schmidt raises his hands in jubilation after his team defeated CBHS 2-1 in a shootout in the state semi-finals. VARSITY SOCCER 37 On October 3rd on the football practice field for an afternoon of more-than-hoopla and merry-making, homeroom booths sprang up. Participants tested their skill at throwing a football, shooting a BB gun, dunking a teacher, bashing a car, and perforating one ' s teacher with a rainbow of darts. The hungry fest-goer could purchase a myriad of bakery goods from Hutchison ' s cookie, cake, and pie booth. Music was by Gambler, and refreshments were sold from the snack bar beneath the press box. Student council president Scott Crosby reported a gross of $850.

AGONY AND ECSTACY 4] LAYING THE FOUNDATION Young Talent Helps Pull Harriers Through a Rebuilding Season At the beginning of the season the outlook for Coach Keesee ' s harriers was rather bleak. The team had graduated four seniors who had been the backbone of the squad for the past two years. The squad could claim only two returning lettermen: Rick Riggins and Doug Rockett. The lack of experience which hindered the team was compensated for through the determination and talent of the squad ' s young runners. Ninth graders Shea Ross and McNeal McDonnell and tenth grader Brad Miller earned spots on the varsity team. When Brad Miller suffered a collapsed lung at mid- season, he was replaced by tenth- grader, David Gardner. The varsity squad was completed by lettermen Riggins and Rockett and seniors Donald Brady and Rob Woodbury. The season ' s highlights were found in out-of-town tournament action. At the A.F. Bridges Classic in Nashville the team placed 10th out of 33 teams. Later in the season at the Jackson Central-Merry Invitational the team finished in second place behind Henry County. Although they finished a disappointing sixth in the regional meet at Millington, the harriers had an otherwise satisfying season. Rick Riggins ran in the number-one spot all year.

CROSS-COUNTRY 43 FRESHMAN-SENIOR The freshmen and seniors retreated on an October weekend at the Walt farm. The trip brought freshmen and seniors into cooperative co- existence and through the weekend ' s events helped them to know one another. Highlights of the activities included a rope obstacle-course: a challenging rope bridge had to be crossed, several tires had to be traveled through, and a swinging table had to be swung. The retreat was a memorable experience for both freshmen and seniors, despite any redeeming value. Dr. Oehmen gives the photographer a classic look: Whose idea was this trip anyway?

McGowan completed seven of fourteen passes for 162 yards, one to Mac McCarroll for a 57-yard touchdown. Other touchdowns were scored by Paul Luttrell and Stephen Carpenter who ran 67 yards to the end zone. The only blemish on the Owls ' opening night performances was ten penalties, which cost the team 110 yards. MLS 34, Wooddale at MUS An impressive Owl defense posted the first of five shutouts of the season. Mac McCarroll led the defense with thirteen tackles; for the night the Wooddale Cardinals had only one hundred yards total offense. Richard Davis also made two interceptions to thwart Cardinal offensive drives. A powerful running attack led the Owls to 362 yards of total offense. Five different people scored touchdowns, and Steve Lawrence gained 115 yards on twelve carries. MUS 17, Germantown 21 at Germantown This game is what high school football is all about; a crowd of about 6,000, two powerhouses in their respective classifications, both coming off once-beaten seasons; fierce rivals, evenly matched, ready to play. Germantown dominated the rushing yardage, 242 to 122, thanks mainly to Germantown fullback Jeff McFerran ' s 91-yard run which put Germantown up 6 to 3 at the half. MUS cooly came back in the second half as McGowan threw two touchdown passes in the third quarter, one a 39- yard strike to wide-receiver Tommy Poirer and the other an 11-yard pass to tight end Brad Bolton to give the Owls a 17 to 6 lead and a 1 10 to 54 passing-yardage edge over Germantown. In the end, though, it was a pass which beat the Owls late in the fourth quarter after McGowan had missed a first down by inches on a key fourth-down play. Each team committed only two turnovers and one penalty, and MUS had a 14 to 13 lead in first downs. T om Owen led the defense with 13 tackles; McCarroll and Deaton each had 10. The MUS offensive line gets set to fire off the ball. The line ' s fine blocking helped account for the 34 points accumulated in the game with Wooddale.

Millington was held to 102 total yards as their passing game was completely shut down. On the offensive side of the ball Steve Lawrence was impressive with 1 3 carries for 1 02 yards and two touchdowns, one from six yards out and the other covering 36 yards. David McGowan also had a good night rushing with 93 yards on ten carries and a touchdown. A Deaton-to-Carpenter halfback pass capped the Owls ' first road-victory. MUS 40, Kirby 0; at MUS Playing their first year of high school football, Kirby was MUS ' s first district opponent and the Owls had no trouble posting their third shutout. McCarroll, with ten tackles, again led a defense which allowed only 85 yards and three first downs. McGowan completed five of six passes, including one to Bobby Weiss for a 75-yard touchdown. Deaton ran for two touchdowns and McCarroll and Sorrells also added scores. MUS 62, White Station 6; at MUS Gaining almost ten yards per play and 478 total yards, the offense was awesome with touchdowns being scored by Steve Lawrence (2), Tim Deaton, Alan Feild, David McGowan, Bill Sorrells (2), and Bobby Weiss (2). The defense, led by Bobby Wade with six tackles, played almost flawlessly, holding White Station to 50 yards and just missing a third consecutive shutout when White Station scored on a kickoff return in the third quarter with the score 49-0.

A fumble recovery by Mac McCarroll, who again was intimidating on defense with 1 3 tackles, was run back for a touchdown and Brad Bolton caught a 9-yard pass from McGowan for the other touchdown as MUS improved its district record to 3-0 and set up a showdown with CoUierville in the last regular season game of the year.

CoUierville didn ' t know the pressure of a game like this one, but they got the whole town behind them. An unbelievable crowd of 8,000 gathered at Collierville ' s football field to watch a game between unbeatens. Turnovers plagued the Owls ' attempts to return to the state playoffs. A fumble on the first possession gave CoUierville a 3-0 lead. MUS struggled back to within two points at 1 6- 1 4 on David McGowan ' s 64-yard touchdown romp and a 1-yard touchdown score by McCarroll. An interception by CoUierville right before the half extended Collierville ' s lead to 22-14. Steve Lawrence ' s touchdown run in the third quarter set up a 2-point try that could have tied the game, but a halfback pass by Deaton was out of Bolton ' s reach. Collierville ' s offense took over and scored on a long touchdown drive. MUS ' s offense, forced to play catchup, was stopped and another touchdown by CoUierville ended MUS ' s chances for victory. Mac McCarroll had a season- high 1 6 tackles in a losing effort. Paul Luttrell was in on 14 tackles, and Bill Lansden and Bobby Wade had 10 each.

JV SOCCER 59 PARADOX Freshmen Win District Despite 3-4 Record Coming off an undefeated eighth-grade season, the freshman football team, coached by Mr. Don Walker and Mr. Chip Denton, was anxious to continue its winning streak. However, the ninth-grade team ' s schedule had been bolstered over the summer, as Prep and Catholic were dropped from the schedule and district newcomer Kirby and Mississippi football power Southaven were added. Finally, when the freshman team got a chance to play CBHS, Bishop Byrne was also dropped from the schedule. The freshman team ' s seven-game winning streak was broken in its first game against Southaven. However, the team came back to win every district game it played to reclaim the freshman football district championship after a one-year hiatus. Parker Phillips played two positions, halfback and quarterback, for the freshman team this year. Another versatile player was Jay Steed, who led the team in rushing as well as tackling. Dede Malmo was second in tackles and first in interceptions. Other noticeable defensive contributions came from Owen Tabor and Chris Sullivan.

In the second game against Elliston Academy, the defense repeated its performance by keeping the opponents from scoring.

In a tough game at Memphis Prep, the team managed to win 13 to 0. Scoring a touchdown on a last-second kickoff return. White Station, their fourth opponent, was the first to score against the awesome defense, but they went down in defeat anyway.

It would seem as if any fool could start a club, but this isn ' t so. Chartering a club is more difficult than one is often led to believe. First, general interest must be aroused. Second, a teacher must be wheedled into sponsoring the club, and, third, the club must be approved by the discerning eyes of the Administration. For every club that gets its charter, there is one that doesn ' t. To these imaginative, determined students, we dedicate this parody of clubs that died in their embryonic stage.

Sadly enough, the club was never recognized as official because of Mrs. Huckaba ' s verbose disapproval and Mrs. Hamilton ' s hurling of Time-Life encyclopedias at the climbers.

WINTER 71 The TERMINAL TERM PAPER It was the day most sophomores were waiting for: Term- Paper-Topic-Choosing Day. Students were frantically trying to decide on a topic, and each was getting psyched up in his own way. Abe Lender! knew exactly what he wanted to do; he had been preparing for six months on his topic — The DNA Structure of Fruit Flies in Socially Underdeveloped Nations. Joe Procrastinatski was just coming out of his third-period hibernation. Abe spent the remainder of October in the library. He took his notes backwards in a Czechoslovakian dialect. These notes were later hidden on microfilm. Meanwhile, Joe was in the lounge starting on his note cards. Joe had finally chosen a topic — The Effects of Sex, Drugs, and Rock ' n ' Roll on the Adolescent Mind. He immediately began researching the subject. iNote the unsolved Rubik ' s Cube. This is a hobby that he picked up in the Summer. 72 STUDENT LIFE Abe Lender had already typed enough copies to send to all his distant relatives. He even typed one for his dog to eat and one for the maid to throw away (just for fun). His final copy was sent to be framed . It was the night before due date and all through the house, only Joe was awake, feeling like a louse. At nine o ' clock the night before the paper was due, Joe started working on it. He set a world record for the intake of No-Doze and coffee. It was the time for the papers to be turned in. Abe re- read his before going to school. Out of curiosity, he started to read one of his primary sources. As he was reading, he noticed that his head began to swell. The more he read, the bigger his head got till finally PLOP! His brain exploded — it just couldn ' t take any more facts. Luckily, his body had been donated to science, care of Mrs. Self. Although Joe ' s paper was turned in late, he still got an A. Out of respect to Abe, Abe ' s bereaved family was post-humously granted a C. 3Note the solved Rubik ' s Cube. TERM PAPER 73 James Rantzow is the first MUS player to touch the ball in the CBHS game.

The Owls ' first game typified the team ' s play in the early part of the season, the game going down to the wire before Rose ' s four free throws in the final two minutes froze the Miilington Trojans. The second game with East was a test against a Mustang press in which the Owls ' turnovers were the key factor in the team ' s first loss. A spanking of the Spartans and a Bartlett barbecuing before the Buzzards met the Brothers gave Coach Peters time to evaluate the strength of a bench which would play a large part in future key games. Christian Brotl)ers was forced to confess their first loss in a game that was decided in the final minute of play. Rose had 1 2 points and Christenbury led with 5 rebounds. Emotionally drained after beating CBHS, MUS couldn ' t quite put it together against a hot shooting Briarcrest team, despite 16 points by Montague and 1 2 by Graves. Facing East at home after the loss to Briarcrest, the Buzzards found themselves down by one with four seconds left in the game. Off an inbounds play Rose found Jeff Barry with a pass for a lay-up at the buzzer for the win. After downing White Station the Owls took a break for exams, but after exams resumed practice for the East Memphis Classic at White Station. A lackluster performance clinched a win over the Kirby Cougars in which Scott Rose had 1 1 assists and David Montague scored 21 points. A rematch with Briarcrest followed. This time Scott Rose, Barton Thrasher, David Montague, and Steve Threlkeld scored in double figures to insure an overtime win over the Saints. The EMC title match pitted the Owls against the Ridgeway Roadrunners who ran away with the title of the tournament.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 75 HOT AT HOME (COMING) Owls Clinch District; Win 20th in a Row at Home on Homecoming The Owls entered district play after the East Memphis Classic. The coaches ' preseason picks tabbed the Owls at 4th-place in the district, and after the first game at Collierville the prediction looked likely. After the Buzzards came back to push the game into overtime, the Dragons iced the win with 6 of 9 free throws to give the Buzzards their only district loss. After a snow break which postponed two district games, the Owls met the Brothers on their own court. The Buzzards came back with a 3rd quarter 20-1 1 outburst and won the game. The clinching play with 2 seconds left was a drawn charge by Barton Thrasher which ended the Brothers ' offensive chances. At Germantown, Rose had 22 points but the Red Devils outhustled the Buzzards to burn the Owls in the hot Red Devil gym. A string of four games in six days, including 3 district battles, was next for the Owls. A Kirby blasting saw Rantzow and Montague combine for 31 points. Next a victory over Bishop Byrne, the most lopsided of the season, saw four players score in double figures and set up a battle for first place with Harding. An 18-7 3rd-quarter outburst locked up an Owl win which was marred by 45 fouls. At Bartlett Scott Rose demonstrated his ability with 27 points, 9 steals, and 7 assists to lead the Owls to victory over an overwhelmed Panther team. Homecoming was important for three reasons. First it offered the Owls a chance to avenge their only district loss to Collierville. Second it would extend an Owl home-win streak to 20 games. Third, it would give the Owls a tie for first place in the district. An 18-4 3rd-quarter scoring outburst and four players in double figures clinched the homecoming win over the mythical Dragons. The next game at Harding was for sole possession of 1st place in the district. The Owls started out very slowly, while the many Lion fans kept their home club roaring. The Owls came on with another 3rd quarter charge to post a victory and take over 1st place. The third meeting with Kirby was a charm for the Owls as Rose scored 21 points, Montague 20, and sharp-shooting Barton Thrasher went 9 for 10 from the free throw line. After winning a hard-fought Germantown game, the Owls clinched the district by defeating Bishop Byrne at Byrne. The Owls were led by Montague ' s 16 points and 14 rebounds. It is surprising that the Owls won the 14-AA when they were picked to finish in fourth place in a pre-season poll of coaches.

The lights went out on a tough Dragon team in a game which had 27 lead changes. David Montague made the District All- Tournament Team and Rose got the Tournament MVP award, but James Rantzow ' s 2-game totals of 27 points and 1 1 rebounds were very instrumental in a fifth straight District title for the Buzzards. The Buzzards opened the Region at Ridgeway with a stomping of Sheffield. Three Owls — Rose, Montague, Thrasher — scored in double-figures. Hillcrest ' s height was a difficult obstacle in the semifinal game. Facing 6 ' 5 Romaurro Perry, the Owls lost every jump ball but outrebounded Hillcrest 20-18. The last two of Montague ' s 16 points, with eight seconds left off an assist from a double- teamed Rose, sealed the win. Oakhaven ' s short, quick, hot-shooting team, reminiscent of a Humboldt team which the Owls had become very familiar with in the Region finals a year earlier, was a tough test, but Region MVP Scott Rose ' s two free throws with three seconds to go iced the final. Montague ' s 40 points and 23 rebounds in three games put him on the Region all-tournament team. The Sub-State game against Kingsbury saw the Owls go into the locker room 5 points behind, but defense and key free throws in the final seconds by Christenbury and Parker left a huge Owl crowd exultant.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 79 TOURNAMENT TAKERS B-Team Wins East Memphis and Harding Invitationals I The JV Basketball team, coached by Mr. Bobby Alston served throughout the year as a reservoir of talent for the Varsity Owls and gave much needed playing time to next year ' s Varsity stars. Starting off with two easy wins over Millington and White Station, the Owls slipped badly in the next two games with losses to the Bartlett Panthers and a more experienced CBHS team. In the Harding B Tournament Drew Taylor put in a total of 30 points in wins over White Station and Harding, and Kevin Parker added 21 points against Harding to give the Owls 1st place. At home, Parker ' s 24 points against East helped the Owls to hang on to a win after being up 18-2 after the 1st quarter. After Christmas break, David Boyd and Jeff Barry combined for 27 points to help the Owls beat Collierville. A rematch with An awe-struck Doug Rayburn looks on as Joel Kaye pumps it up. CBHS at CBHS saw a much closer game behind solid play by Jeff Barry, Jim Barton, and Chris Beard. The Owls couldn ' t quite hang on against a tall Germantown team but went on to outsco Bishop Byrne and Harding, 133-63. Wins over Bartlett, Collierville, and Harding preceded a Red Devil grudge match. This time three players scored in double figures to lead the Owls to a squeaker over the Red Devils.

After a two-year dry spell the heavens opened and dropped a couple of seasons of snow in one day. It was all part of nature ' s tendency toward stability. Mother Nature owed us a lot of snow and on Tuesday, January 1 2, she paid in cash. At 9:25, well over five hundred students sat in their desks as the speaker on the wall emitted the tell-tale static of impending vital announcements. As soon as Mr. MacQueen reluctantly uttered the word closed under his breath, those five hundred-plus stationary time-bombs exploded into simultaneous rapture, locking their mental coordinates on snow parties, vehicle skating, and linking humanoids behind their cars and dragging them through the snow-covered streets. Mr. MacQueen ' s information on who could use the phone a nd where and his paternal admonitions about road conditions fell on deaf ears. Most students were halfway home by then. The snow continued to fall throughout the day and gradually blanketed the city in five inches of wonderful snow. MUS students — out of school because of treacherous road conditions — risked their necks and skeetered all over Fluff City in search of night-time snow-party activities. For two days after the initial snowfall the high-caliber celebrations progressed till Thursday night when Channel 13 made a heinous error, announcing that Friday would be another holiday. Faithful radio WHBQ revealed the obscene truth at 6 AM next morning that MUS had decided to go for it. There was about a 70% attendance with another morose 10% meandering to school in the first hour. Upon arriving, students found that malicious machines had thoughtlessly bullied tons of snow from the parking lots and had deposited the stuff in great garrisons along the school ' s parking lots and roads. The weather took a nasty turnabout. Friday ' s temperatures climbed well above the freezing mark and the precious snow began to die. After school Friday an armada of bellicose students assailed carpool vehicles with a dense barrage of slush balls. Another group of desperate students fled to the practice soccer field and made a last-ditch effort to salvage the Great White Hope by rolling a snowball about the size of a Volkswagon. Temperatures soared to the sixties and the rains fell relentlessly. The first great snowstorm in two years was gone; only an evanescent event in the parade of nature, but still hopeful students religiously follow color radar and sit patiently in their desks for the tell-tale static from the box on the wall of impending vital announcements. Jay Arkle. Paul Gerald, Walker Upshaw, and Ed Triplett take part in the great snow-exodus after school was closed during the second session on Tuesday, Jan. 12.

The seventh graders are confined to the balcony during Wednesday and Friday chapels and are trampled in the halls following the cry of ' Rollerhall. Lower-schoolers escape the wrath of the study hall proctors by obtaining library permits, which if forged, can lead to a trial before the Lower School ' s own Honor Council. The Lower School also has its own Student Council, which is responsible for coordinating the first school dance for many of the lower- schoolers. After the daily great race to lunch, the seventh and eighth graders tear apart the snack corner (during the course of the year, the snack machines are unplugged by Mr. Springfield several times.) Throughout their lower-s chool careers, they learn to hate the father of their country, George Washington, because as punishment they must write an infinite number of copies of George Washington ' s Rules of Civility. Experiencing an MUS lunch for the first time, an unidentified student goes into iiysterics while an unaffected Eric Dellinger looics on. David Gurley crosses his fingers hoping that Mrs. Randall will accept the library passes (tickets to freedom) of Hughie Allan, Tom Flanagan, and himself. 84 STUDENT LIFE Who could forget the thrill of lower school P.E. water polo in the sweltering summer heat?

LOWER SCHOOL 85 86 STUDENT LIFE BUBBLE PAGE 87 THE SENIOR TR UMP Five Twelfth-Graders Lead Buzzard Grapplers to Best Season Record Dominated and even coached by seniors in the first part of the season, the wrestling team achieved an unprecedented record of 10-2. Because of Coach Barry Ray ' s involvement with a team sport called football, Co-captains David and Stephen Galloway took the job of trainers early on. As can be seen from the starting line-up of five seniors, one junior, three sophomores, and three freshmen, college-bounders also filled out most of the muscle of the squad. The team started practice in late autumn. The Brothers Galloway taught the survivors many useful moves and gave out many helpful hints, such as If your man passes out, don ' t let him breathe until you ' ve pinned him, fellows, and Smash his face into the mat. After practicing these drills on one another, the grapplers grouped together in sets of four and played a game called In Man. In this spree, every player had to consecutively engage each of his three opponents. Practice finished with a regimen called Conditioning, in which a drill sergeant instructed the wrestlers to drop from their running places and do either push-ups or sit-ups. At the end of several weeks of practice the squad was ready to start its season. After an opening win of seven points over SBEC, the Owls had hopes of defeating the predicted champions of the district: CBHS. However, their ambition was turned back as the Owls lost by a close margin to balance their record at 1-1. However, the team then recovered to beat Germantown for the first time, destroying them with over a forty-point spread. The Owls went on to defeat their next six opponents, compiling a team score of 250- 124 and achieving the longest winning streak of any Buzzard wrestling team. Next on the schedule was CBHS, the team ' s only conquerer. As a result of Coach Ray ' s exhortations, the attendance at the match broke into a double-digit range, but the Brothers repeated their previous performance and won the competition by nine points. The Owls then finished the season by destroying Harding and Germantown to achieve an excellent record. ; SPORTS The Point System Individual escape nearfall (1 sec.) nearfall (5 sec.) takedown reversal pin Penalty {W=warning) +1 pt. locking hands when +2 pts. not in pinning position +3 pts. stalling + 2 pts. illegal hold + 2 pts. false start (automatic win) fleeing the mat Team decision by fewer than 8 decision by 8-12 -1 pt. decision by more than 12 w. -Ipt. -1 pt. pin W, -Ipt. -Ipt. 3 pts. 4 pts. 5 pts. 6 pts.

Later the team travelled to Birmingham where Stephen Galloway captured first place, and Dan Boyd and David Galloway placed second in a huge meet.

The team ' s disappointment was somewhat diminished by the fact that MUS had more champions than anyone else.

In revenge of the earlier loss to Briarcrest, the Owls, behind Doug Hartman ' s 1 1 points, were ready for Briarcrest the second time with a 30-24 win. MUS abused arch-rival Briarcrest on the boards while free-throw percentage also was outstanding. After ending their regular season, the Buzzards were ready for the District Tournament. Their first victim was Collierville and with fired-up Coach Keesee ' s inspirational words, Go out there with fire in your eyes, the Owls defeated Collierville 30-26, placing them in the semi-finals against Bolton. Their defensive play proved sensational as the Buzzards pulled out a 50-43 come-from- behind win, allowing them to advance to the finals against Germantown. The Red Devils were too hot for the Owls that nighi as Germantown won 30-25; however, MUS had two representatives, Tim Wise and Doug Hartman, on the All- Tournament Team. Through the year these men usually started: Dede Malmo, Tim Wise, Doug Hartman, Brent Turner, Mike Greenlee. Hartman and Greenlee provided strong rebounding; Turner ' s outside shooting broke zones.

Down 29-28 with only 4 seconds left, St. Paul hit a shot to take a 30-29 win over the stunned Owls. In this game both Greg Wilkinson and Andy McCarroU provided the team with 8 points. The Owls had had many opportunities to put the game on ice, but the free-throw shooting was cold. In the next game, McCarroll poured in 16 points in an attempt to defeat Ridgeway, but suspicious officiating and inconsistency in shooting defeated the Owls. In other games, Wilkinson put in 13 points in the 47-31 win over upset-minded St. Louis, while Tommy Lusk scored 10 in the 53-6 victory over Memphis Prep. The wins over arch-rivals Harding and Briarcrest were relatively easy for the Owls. In the first game against Briarcrest, the Buzzards had pulled off a 43-36 win, but in their second meeting the Buzzards with very consistent shooting destroyed the Saints 43-16. In the Owls ' win over Harding, Lusk provided 16 points while Ben Daniel came off the bench to score 8 more for the Owls. These easy wins gave the non-starters a chance to show off their talent. The team capped the season with two post-season tournaments. With wins over ECS and Harding, the eighth-graders captured their division of the Shelby Seventh and Eighth Grade Tournament, hosted by Harding.

The work is hard, but by hitting the books, we can prepare ourselves for future endeavors. FROM TEACHERS LAMGUACsE LA6S 104 ACADEMICS I ENGLISH F OREIGN LANGUAG ES ®l|e Art of Communtcatton. How can we better our ability to communicate? The departments of English and Foreign Languages seek to do just that — improve our skills of communication. As Americans our first language is English. Through extensive grammar and vocabulary lessons we learn how to use English in more appropriate ways. In the upper grades essay writing and extensive literature study are emphasized. When we become interested in a second language, we can choose to take French, Spanish or Latin. Emphasis is first on grammar then on the reading and translation of poetry and prose. Oral skills are also learned in Spanish and French. We are exposed to various aspects of the respective cultures through the reading of literature, by attending live, off-campus performances and by participating in organized language-club activities. In sum, it is through language that men are able to cooperate with one another. Therefore, it is to our advantage to be as knowledgeable about languages as possible so that we can communicate with all men everywhere. As students attempt to put sentences on the board, Mrs. Betty Jo Higgs emphasizes to an uncertain eighth grader that Latin is necessary for graduation.

Drivers ' Education and the Study Skills class are usually taken at the prompting of one ' s parents: the former to cut insurance bills, the latter to teach the students how to study. Careers Day and the Library Seminar class are attended because of administrative prompting. Students just cannot refuse such an offer! Seniors must become familiar with job opportunities, and Lower Schoolers must supposedly learn how to use the library.

Where shall we be in a thousand years? These are all questions the Departments of History and Religion seek to answer. We find through our study of history that we are products of what happened yesterday. Evidence to this fact can be found by our studying the ancient world, then proceeding to the modern world and noting similarities. As a relatively new country, America is a direct result of the decisions that our forefathers made yesterday. Throughout the world we are reminded that civilizations never completely die; they only fade away, to resurface in modified form in later generations. One may then ask, What role does God play in history? First we must become familiar with the Bible and what God ' s character has been in the past in order to predict what his character and actions will be in the future. We must also become familiar with various religions to compare various beliefs in order that we may decide what the final end will be. In short, our insights into the past are necessary so that we shall know what could lie in the future and on what course we are headed.

HISTORY RELIGION 111 CO-ED CLASSES Something To Look Forward to: s smsiiaK?fii the average MUS student, the routine of classes with boys only can become very exasperating. However, in the upper school many students have the opportunity to be in a co-ed class either at MUS or at Hutchison. At MUS a student may find himself sharing a class with members of the opposite sex if he takes Physics, Choral Music, Psychology, Genetics, Art II or a history elective. Likewise, a student may elect to take Contemporary Issues, Art History, Speech and Drama or Spanish III and IV at Hutchison. For those students who are lucky enough to be in one of the co-ed classes, they usually find it the most enjoyable part of the school day. Not only does it break the monotony of the otherwise boring school day, not only does it provide the student who journeys to Hutchison the opportunity to leave the MUS campus, but most importantly of all it provides the all- important chance to socialize with members of the fairer sex. Co-ed classes are definitely that part of the day students always look forward to! Susan Merriwether demonstrates her shy temperament by refusing to let the photographer see who she is.

For the student who has difficulty filling up his schedule in a given semester, he may choose to take an elective to fill the gaps. Not only do electives aid in filling up schedules, they also provide alternatives to the basic English, Science, and Mathematics courses. The ultimate goal of electives is to broaden the scope of the student ' s knowledge in an interesting and enjoyable manner. Introductory courses are offered in a variety of areas. Students in psychology study basic behavior principles along with the men who formulated them. Students are exposed to the history and principles of economics in Mr. Daniel ' s class. Speech class teaches the student effective means of oral communication. Mechanical Drawing is designed for those students interested in architecture or engineering. Typing teaches skills useful in preparing term papers and business letters. Computer Math gives students exposure to BASIC programming, skills useful in today ' s computerized society. Finally, Theatre Production provides a behind-the- scenes look into what goes into the making of a successful play. Though electives have the reputation of being easy, they are only as easy as the individual student makes them. Approached logically, electives can prove very beneficial. Just take your pick!

ELECTIVES 115 MATH SCIENCE TechnicallLj EpEshing The departments of Math and Science provide the interested student the means by which he can better understand the more technical aspects of our world. The aim of the seventh and eighth grade math courses is to provide the student with a firm background in basic mathematics. He will then be better prepared to face the complexities of upper-school math. Preparation in Math continues with such courses as Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Precalculus, all of which strengthen basi c ideas and introduce new math principles. For the industrious student. A? Calculus and Topics in Analysis provide the ultimate in mathematical challenges. Lower schoolers begin their science studies focusing on life processes in the seventh grade and on the earth in the eighth grade. These courses prepare the student for Chemistry-Physics in which all students enroll in either the ninth or tenth grade. Upper level science courses begin with Biology, focusing primarily on the evolution of man. Highly motivated students can continue their studies with Chemistry I and II under Mr. Omundson and Physics under Mr. Dwiggins. In a nutshell, math and science courses have become a necessary part of a rapidly modernizing and technical world.

In addition to many of the activities a student may become involved in, most students will at one time or another be forced to take time to study. However, there are those who seldom study and just barely squeak by. Many students complete the majority of their work at home. However, those who don ' t finish their work have other opportunities during the day at school. Certain students desire the quiet solitude of the foyer or the library; others prefer the lively atmosphere of the lounge. For the most part, students just cram anytime, anywhere they have a chance. The typical student may be found busy at work under a tree, in the back seat of a car, or in homeroom. Wherever it may be, the student strives to complete all work before class.

T MUSIC 121 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physically Enriching! Any student not participating in a varsity or junior-high sport will find himself in a PE class. The purpose of these classes is to keep the non-athlete in an acceptable state of physical equilibrium. PE classes provide the student with a healthful break from the rigors of academic life. Though fitness is stressed, students also have a chance to participate in good, clean athletic competition. For the most part, students in all classes do regular calisthenics, take physical fitness tests, run for 1 2 minutes, and run through circuit drills. Upper schoolers also have the privilege of running the cross- country course each fall. PE ' s fun side is best displayed by the competition in team sports. Flag football, Softball, volleyball, basketball, track, and water polo all contribute to the overall PE experience. Once a student is a senior, he has the option of participating in Independent PE. He is then able to get credit for activities he participates in outside of school. Periodic reports are made to Coach Keesee. PE can be the most enjoyable part of the day; PE is a vital part of the total educational experience. Coach Walker instructs lower schoolers on how to properly run the next relay.

ORGANIZATIONS 125 Initiative f Involvement , Teamwork Because of the hard work and student criticism involved in being on the Student Council, one may wonder if the elected officers of the student council would turn back time, if they could, and change MUS history by not running in the elections. The answer is no! The officers of this year ' s council composed the best council as a team that MUS has ever seen. What is even more important is that each member enjoyed his job and didn ' t mind putting in extra work when it was needed. Scott Crosby headed the Student Scon Crosby leads the discussion about the proposed Student Activity Fee during a very important Forum. Council this year, and under his leadership the council had one of its more exciting years. Scott was the president of the biggest council ever, that is, biggest in size, not number. The vice-president was Steve Lawrence, who did a fine job of publicizing the many events the council had. The four commissioners were Bill Lansden, Student Service; David McGowan, Student Welfare; David Montague, Student Activities; and Bill Proctor, Social Events. Some of the new ideas which the council had this year were mud wrestling at the Fall Festival, the incorporation of the Fine Arts Festival anc Winter Charity Carnival into one big event, and a Careers Day, which had several alumni of MUS come to talk to the seniors about their professions. Another key factor in the council ' s success was the ever-strong leadership provided by Mr. Deaderick, the student council advisor. With his knowledge of what would go and what wouldn ' t, he was there to lead the council in the right direction.

For example, a student ay keep an unlocked locker or leave a ook in the hall and find it there the next ay. More important, however, are the itangible benefits of the Honor Code. The reat sense of trust among the students nd between the students and faculty lakes MUS special. A spirit of honesty does not just happen. It is built up and reinforced by le daily honesty of the student body. ;very day hundreds of students function iCcessfuUy under the Honor System. ;very hour students are being trusted on a jst or a quiz. The System is not perfect — no human ystem is perfect — but it does work ecause students strive to make it work. he Honor Code will continue to be Liccessful and continue to improve as long s the student body is willing to support it. The Honor Council representatives have one an excellent job. I believe the Council Dan Boyd takes a short break from his notes to pose for the photographer. The great sense of trust . . . makes MUS special. will continue to fulfill its duties as long as such outstanding and caring representatives are elected as were this year. The Council ' s duty is to promote honesty and deal with any cases of dishonesty. The Council aids those who are guilty through counseling and constructive punishment and helps those who are innocent by clearing them. The Council is by no means a police force; it does not search for violators. Rather, the Council simply handles any occurrence reported by a student. Therefore, although what the Council does is important, it is ultimately up to the student body to make the spirit of honesty continue here. I believe that it is the desire of many students who abide by the Honor System because they desire a spirit of truth and honor that has made the Honor System succeed today and will make it succeed tomorrow.

The most visible addition to the paper has been the use of background color — blue for the football homecoming issue, red for the basketball homecoming issue. Among the new features series are the Mystery Contests, a series of joke pictures (Mystery Creature, Teacher, and Preacher); On the Record, a series of reviews of the latest record albums; and Pitners ' Driving Tips, a series of articles by MUS ' s own instructors of Drivers ' Education. Other features include a poll of MUS students ' most popular night sports; an article on video games; and an interview with Michael Beck, alumnus star of The Warriors. Aided by approximately $900 in proceeds from advertisers. The Owl ' s Hoot has been able to publish eight issues and use expensive background color for the first time. Other changes are perhaps less apparent. The Owl ' s Hoot has a larger staff than in previous years. In addition, it has published nine anonymous Letters to the Editor.

And best is the word to describe CCTV under the leadership of Scott Smith and Steve Mook. The crew began work in February of last year, videotaping two plays. The Good Doctor and Bye, Bye, Birdie. Smith and Mook gave an early signal of the kind of innovative work they would do with their own production of Southern Impressions, a program featuring photography of the Mississippi, in July, they began working on an excellent program for new students entitled An Introduction to MUS. Impressions was good enough to be shown on Cable Channel 32, and Introduction was so good that it was presented as a Chapel program. The new staff not only brought a whole new perspective to CCTV, but it also improved what has traditionally be en done in the studio. The studio set was redesigned and rebuilt, and a Sony Big Color camera was donated by Bluff City Electronics, thanks in part to the solicitations of Smith and Mook. CCTV gave the student body full coverage of home football games, which were hosted by Barton Thrasher and Steve Threlkeld. Other athletic teams benefitted from i CCTV ' s taping of their practices: j basketball, baseball, track, tennis, I wrestling, and junior high football. In academics, many classes were able to view various programs, and all of these shows were handled by the production crew and edited by Glenn McPherson and Sam Scull. Also, Choral Music and Speech classes were taped to help the students improve their performances. The amount of work put in by CCTV was incredible. Over the summer. Smith and Mook logged over 200 hours, and they spent about three hours a day in the studio over the course of the year. All this work obviously paid off ii the end.

Besides the meetings held in the gym and the canoe trip, the FCA also attended an FCA-sponsored Liberty Bowl breakfast on the morning before the game at which several players from the Ohio State and Navy football squads and other famous sports personalities spoke, and went to see a movie, Chariots of Fire. The year was a success, and the FCA was perhaps the most active club in the school throughout the year. Other sports clubs provided a chance for students to escape their studies and experience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat through competition. President Mark Grochau ' s Ski Club enjoyed a weekend skiing, while landlubber adviser Coach Taylor looked on. The Ski Club is a club for those who like to show off. Individual competition is present as each member takes his turn at demonstrating the proper way to ski. Being taught by instructor Kevin Powell, Cliff Winnig ' s club enjoyed learning the art of fencing. The members have experienced sword-to-sword combat by staging inter-club duels. Having sponsored several tournaments, the Ping-Pong club enjoyed tremendous participation.

The French club, under president Chapman Dewey, emphasized involvement with lesfilles, in addition to its regular food-and-games meetings. Dr. Dalle, the group ' s sponsor, presented a seminar on hand gestures to a mixed MUS-Hutchison crowd. Also, the club attended a St. Agnes banquet. The club is trying to be more representative by bringing in freshmen and sophomores. With co-presidents Chuck Blatteis and Jay Mednikow, this year ' s Spanish club ventured to two Mexican restaurants: Pancho ' s, and Gonzales and Gertrude ' s. Later on during the year, the club was privileged to hear the renowned Mexican author, Carlos Fuentes, speak at Memphis State. Spanish club president Chuck Blatteis is heartbroken when the Woodburys won ' t let him play French games. MUSe, LANGUAGE CLUBS 145 w Novelty Clubs Brains and Brawn Diversity characterized the clubs this year. Clubs, ranging from the brain clubs - chess, dungeons and dragons, and computer - - to the brawn ones nunchaku and U-club, were given charters. Boards, boards, boards.

Under the supervisio n of Coach Bill Taylor, the club sponsored an intraschool tournament, and the club members enjoyed playing whenever they could, usually during free periods. The computer club, under the guidance ■of president Jay Mednikow and faculty advisor Mr. Brown, collected each student ' s individual computer games and organized one master disk. This disk was then distributed to members of the club so that more people could enjoy a wider variety of games.

NOVELTY CLUBS 147 GETTING INVOLVED This year, many students sought to break the stereotype of MUS as an aloof rich boy ' s school. Several groups, such as the Civic Service Club and the Government Club, aided in this effort by strengthening the links between the student body and the community. Led this year by Chuck Blatteis, the Civic Service Club helped out needy individuals with blood, food, and money. The Thanksgiving Can Drive, in which homerooms fiercely competed for the prestigious championship, netted over 12,000 cans and thirty-two turkeys. When the total tally was in, the previous year ' s winner, Mr. Haguewood, had emerged with the same number of cans as Mr. Hancock, and thus a tie of 1 500 cans was proclaimed. Later in the year came the Aluminum Can Drive; the traditional Christmas party for the Boys ' Club; and the Blood Drive, in which another thirty-two turkeys donated fluid in order to help the city out of its blood crisis. Charity Week arrived in early spring. The highlight was the Rock-a-thon in which over seventy-five rockers raised more than $800, thus doubling their goal. Other events during this period included the fast, the Senior Pizza Pig-out, and the Winter Charity Carnival. Charity Week brought in $1,375, $575 more than last year. Because of the money raised, the club hosted two ten-minute segments during the Easter Seals Telethon. The Government Club was involved in important political events on the state and national level. Scott Steinmetz and his league of budding politicians started the year with a Close-Up trip to Washington, where the group toured the capitol and spoke with many senators and representatives. Back in the River City, the club teamed up with Youth-ln-Government in the presentation of several bills to a youth legislature in Nashville. Finally, the organization sent several representatives to the Mode United Nations, held this year at Southwestern.

Every SDPD we sit on a stool, say whiskey or cheese, and get our picture taken; yet, all we see are the faces. The true person is not captured — the teachers, dedicated and helpful; the students eager to learn and diligent; the staff, friendly and needed. The seniors miss the hoopla, but even their portraits do not adequately embody their leadership. We may pose for posterity, but our real importance lies in the work that we do.

This unification started with the Freshman Retreat, where the seniors welcomed the Freshman Class to the Upper School by encouraging cooperation between seniors and freshmen, instead of the traditional initiation hazing. Seniors filled leadership positions on campus; the student government, literary publications, and athletic teams have all been very successful, looking to their senior leaders for guidance. The Senior Class has also exhibited fellowship within itself which has demonstrated to other classes that personal differences are not reasons for excluding people. By demonstrating qualities of cooperation, leadership, and fellowship in all aspects of school life, the Class of ' 82 has set a precedent of unity for future classes.

SENIORS 155 Seniors RETREAT From School Life Freshman Initiation was discontinued since the purpose for this annual event, helping the freshmen get to know the seniors, had been overpowered in past years by the act of hazing by the seniors and the fear of this act by the freshmen. Instead of Freshman Initiation, the Senior and Freshman classes held a two-day camp out retreat at John D. Walt ' s farm near Moscow on October 24 and 25. Seniors emphasized fellowship and cooperation rather than outdated hazing; and participation in a variety of team events, such as flagball, volleyball, and an obstacle course, developed achievement and leadership. After a Saturday morning bus trip forty miles out to the Walt farm, the seniors and freshmen were divided into nine groups of seven boys. Each group chose a camp site and assumed responsibility for its own food and lodging. The rest of that day and the following Sunday morning was filled with special cooperative activities, with each group competing against the others. After a Sunday morning devotional by Brad Bolton, the mixecl groups of freshmen and seniors competed in the Obstacle Run Championship. The course consisited of going under a log and over i wall, over a barrel suspended between two trees, through a tire run, am through a rope course. The winning team was made up of senior Wood} Deagan and freshmen Johnny Barringer, Jay Steed, and Andrew Walt. After the Sunday events the groups returned to camp for i leisurely lunch and clean-up period before returning to MUS. Durinj this time of reflection each group recorded its impressions of the retrea on butcher paper with magic markers. These documents have beei stored in Dr. Oehmen ' s archives for posterity.

Sliding Into Home A landslide. A ski slope. The second half of a bell curve — ways to describe what is commonly known as the Senior Slump. A senior ' s last semester is traditionally overshadowed by the Senior Slump. After working hard the first semester to establish his class rank and complete his high school transcript, with limited time scheduled for extra-curricular activities, a senior usually relaxes his second semester. He finds attending basketball games and dances more exciting than late-night studying and is satisfied with letting up a little on his school work in order to enjoy his final high school days a little more.

I would not dare forget the great ones who At one time were in the class of 1982. Like Wes Bell and Mark Weaver, who almost drove us insane You don ' t forget Cole Early and Big John McClain The immortal Wren Campbell, and Preston the Fly Lee Mollis is at Lawrenceville, but I don ' t know why John Anderson was quiet and Rick Nash was tall Wouldn ' t it be nice to see, Tif Bingham in the hall? The big Dan Schneider who had wit unsurpassed and Scott Rawls, whom I can ' t remember when I ' ve seen last Gary Bridgeman didn ' t talk much and John St. John was cool But as Paco Rodgers did, they ' ve both left our school Nicky Winegardner was the only one to have left twice Gone is Steve Barrow, who certainly was nice. Jason Fleming is still in town, and what about old Dusty Street? Like Greg Payonzeck, finer guys you would never want to meet Tom Chambers was wild and liked to fight Not seeing Gary Kellett around just doesn ' t seem right I miss Jake Saunders, and even more so Bill Gresser. When Jeff Mann left, our school was the lesser I know that no one was happy or hootin ' When we lost a good friend, a senior, Barton Newton What these boys are thinking, we will never know Or what they are doing or where they will go But we do know that this group of more than a few was once a big part of the CLASS OF EIGHTY-TWO.

This day is the end of the seniors ' six-year high school life. Soon each senior will be leaving to start a new life at college. When the seniors go to college, they will be leaving behind their old friends; however, these old friendships will be replaced by new friendships. No longer will these students have the security of their homes and parents. This security will be replaced by new feelings of freedom and responsibility gained through the independence of college life. Although the seniors might look upon this departure from their old surroundings with a slight degree of fear and regret, these feelings are greatly outweighed by the eagerness of the graduating class to meet the new challenges of college life. During the dreaded October brush shortage Tom Higley uses his digits to create yet another masterpiece.

This is your DMZ. Use it well! This message quietly adorns the office door of a most interesting MUS faculty member. He doesn ' t teach a course, but he is invaluable to the teaching process. Superficially, his job may seem nonprofessional; for a man who has taught for 1 1 years, it is anything but that. His job is low-key for good reason, and for many it is inadequately understood and, consequently, inadequately appreciated. He is Dr. Steve Oehmen, guidance counselor at MUS. In general, Dr. Oehmen ' s job is to help resolve students ' personal problems as well as their conflicts with faculty, parents, administrators, and other students. Dr. Oehmen helps students who have been involved with the Honor Council or Discipline Committee. Frequently he is the last resort before the Office for discipline or academic problems. But students don ' t have to be in trouble to benefit from his aid and advice; any subject is fair game for friendly, candid discussion. In addition. Dr. Oehmen is often a vital mediator in conflict. For example, if a class is driving a teacher crazy. Dr. Oehmen may talk to the whole class or even negotiate a contract. Dr. Oehmen ' s position is special in many many ways. First, it involves few assumptions of what ought to be done. Second, business is conducted in the utmost of privacy. most beautiful aspect of counseling, says the Doctor, is its sheer unpredictability — anything can come up next. Counselling is, after all, a risky business. If one doesn ' t take a chance and pursue a potentially serious problem, the job simply doesn ' t get done. The school is most supportive of and cooperative with Dr. Oehmen. The Administration pays for the research that he conducts, and they pick up the tab when he travels for meeting or speaking engagements. Obviously, they believe that Dr. Oehmen is important: they should; he is. Mrs. Betty Jo Higgs Chairman, Foreign Language Department; Latin I, IIL Mr. David B.

Angel is the great American novel and Wolfe is the greatest American lyric prose writer. His love of Wolfe ' s works has led him, along with his poet-wife Eve, to assemble a collection of material on Thomas Wolfe which is eclipsed in size only by the collections at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Braden- Hatchett Thomas Wolfe Collection, as it is called, began when Hatchett met Fred Wolfe, brother of the late novelist, while visiting Asheville, N.C. Included in the collection are twenty hours of audio tapes of Fred ' s comments and memories, and numerous family letters, some of which tend to discredit the widely held view that Wolfe was upset and angry about the fiery reception his first novel received from the people of Ashville.

For example, a Philadelphia distiller promoted his whiskey in a bottle with his name, E. G. Booze, prominently displayed on its label. In time the word booze has come to mean any alcohol. Below is a list of definitions of eponyms which could be derived from the names of teachers at school. The eponyms themselves are left to you. , To sing or hum an unidentifiable tune in the halls during class. 2. A dialect spiced by such words as awesome, and quietus, and phrases such as, Pm an animal, this is an animal . . . 3. To fake senility or foggy forgetfulness convincingly. 4. To use words which have more letters than one ' s height in inches. 5. To follow the rules to the letter; to leave no room open for interpretation. 6. To be able to relate any historical event, problem, or fact to tennis, racquetball, or ping-pong. 7. To insert unexpected sly and stingingly humorous remark in the middle of an otherwise dull, banal conversation or lecture. , To pompously and overconfidently cast empty threats, especially to Seniors. , To constantly spit into a cup and simultaneously maintain an air of dignity.

Historical institutions such as Assumption College, California College of Arts and Crafts, Center for Creative Studies, Hood College, High Point College, Museum Art School, and the landmark Simon ' s Rock Early College are the most prominent senders. The junior is often greeted with a warm Dear Student. He is informed that he is highly sought after. As he reads the letter, he is encouraged to Stop a minute and see what we have to offer, and to return the attached card for more information. Letters are not the only form of communication from colleges. Many colleges send grams that are filled with the immortal phrases: Act fast, You have been chosen, Send for more information, or Demand will be great. Some letters such as those from the armed services make irresistible offers. Be the first one on your block to receive official ' Army tube socks ' and Return the attached card and get a free Navy iron-on patch are some of the most outstanding offers. If he is lucky, the student may even receive an Air Force pocket calendar which encourages him: Get your future off the ground. The letters are a status symbol which give the student an unwarranted sense of significance and add extra spice to the junior ' s fun-filled year.

Brian Levinson takes notes as Mr. Hatchett recites Huckleberry Finn from memory. My Opinion: Bailey Brown How do you spell relief from boring English classes? H-A-T-C-H-E-T-T! Mr. Hatchett knows how to make English class fun without making it chaotic. He knows how to teach the material while making it easy. Mr. Hatchett uses his wit to keep the class alert, and he keeps the class in order by controlling the class clowns. His is that rarest of classes in which the students keep quiet so that they can hear the teacher ' s funny remarks. Hatchett makes English as much fun for the tenth grader as watching Sesame Street is for the preschooler. By entertaining the class, Mr. Hatchett can hold its attention so that it can learn more. It is much easier to absorb the material if one isn ' t struggling to stay awake. Also, Mr. Hatchett lowers the brain strain by giving many small quizzes in lieu of a few massive major tests. By assigning only one term paper a year, he encourages the student to write a more thorough paper without excessive brain strain. But beware of themes, for Mr. Hatchett will crucify you if you misplace commas or misspell any words. If you ' re tired of rotting away in a boring English class while being a slave to excessive brain strain, get Hatchett: get relief. 184 UNDERCLASSMEN Evans Jack Jeff Houston James Hudson Hunter Ivy Robert Hollabaugh Joel Kaye David Kleinschmidt Doug Kremer Adam Kriger Gregg Landau Taking a break on the sideline, Felix Ch ' ien contemplates spiking the Quik Kick in order to add more pep to the game.

This task was made easier by the success of the Senior Freshman retreat, during which all involved learned what each had to offer, and everyone got to know each other better. Ninth graders also found new freedoms in the Upper School, including the escape from supervised study halls. During these free periods some chose to study in the Hyde Library or the foyer; however, most quickly learned to waste their free periods just like everyone else. The Senior Freshman retreat was a huge success, as this picture of Carl Cooley and Mike Boals typifies. 190 UNDERCLASSMEN HMEN Keith Moore Anthony Morrison Richard Nichoi Erik Odeen John Owen Mark Page Salil Parikh Parker Phillips David Pritchard Kevin Randle Drew Renshaw Pat Richardson Scott Richman Bill Roberds Shea Ross Schoolwork gels rougher every year: here Craig Witt agonizes over a test.

He has developed a certain charisma and confidence that he feels is characteristic of all great lovers. The eighth-grader uses a rather unique process of choosing a girl for his night of romance. Hours are spent reflecting on the girls he has met behind the stands of Hull- Dobbs Athletic Field. He calls a classmate and asks him to call several girls to see if they like him or not. When the results of this poll are in, our eighth-grader calls one of the girls and asks her out for a fun evening. Hearing the magic words Oh, but I would like to go out with you, he rejoices and tells his parents that one of them must be the chauffeur for his big night. Throughout the night there is hoopla and merrymaking. It is almost as much fun as School Day Picture Day. At the end of the night he walks her to the door. The moment is perfect. The air is cool, the leaves are rustling, her eyes are aglow, and dad is revving the station wagon in the driveway. He eloquently expresses his feelings to her. Finally he lunges forward and shakes her hand or gives her a high five . Thus concludes the romantic saga of the eighth-grader.

They are stuck over in the lower school where they are subjected to vindictive eighth graders seeking to restore their position after being humiliated by last year ' s eighth graders. They soon learn that everybody is out to get them. Mrs. Lenti lurks in the lunchroom and waits for one of them to tap his fork on the railing, step across the red line in front of the door, or forget his drink. On top of this, their parents send them to dancing school over at Hutchison, where the odds are that most of them are going to dance with girls who are six inches taller than they. Mr. Springfield confuses them further by calling them MEN! However, despite all these obstacles there is every possibility that this year ' s seventh graders will survive to become eighth graders.

For the first time, the student realizes , that if he wants to go to the movie or to the dance with Suzy (huh), that he will have to go out and EARN the money through a real job. After the initial shock of being turned down at a few places, the student usually finds a job that is suitable to both him and all the other activities in which he wants to participate.

THINGS TO DO 209 ' PLACES TOGO Ranked as the sixty-first best city in which to live in a recent much-publicized but meaningless survey, Memphis has improved its image since Time called it a decaying backwater river town in partly through the renovation of the Peabody, the construction of mega-malls and support for its sports teams. The Peabody Hotel reopened last year downtown with its beautiful lobby and elegant restaurants. It is almost a sure thing that the Peabody will attain its goal of becoming the Mid-South ' s only five-star hotel. The new malls in Memphis — The Mall of Memphis, the Hickory Ridge Mall, and Loehman ' s Plaza — are equipped with hundreds of stores and many forms of entertainment ranging from skating at the Ice Capades Chalet lo video games to eating in the wide variety of restaurants. The city is alive with sports. Memphis is the home of two professional teams, the Chicks in baseball and the Americans in soccer; and Memphis hosts the Liberty Bowl, the U.S. National Indoor Tennis Championship and the Danny Thomas Golf Classic. Memphis holds the Memphis E.xpress marathon. Many fine hunting and fishing spots surround the city. In indoor soccer action. Jorge Espinoza, Don Burke, and Richard But defend for Memphis ' newest professional team, the Americans. Coach Keesee makes his final kick after a grueling 26 miles in our capital city. Keesee is now a veteran of marathons, having gone to Washington. D.C.. to compete in one of the largest marathons around. F« t|IH!?- 1 Every winter, the Liberty Bowl attracts a large crowd and much publicity. Many students enjoyed this year ' s contest between Navy and Ohio State. Though the Buckeyes did beat the Midshipmen, the game was surprisingly close. 210 MEMPHIS ■M PLACES TO GO 211 What Will Be? ■ r Gib. Gib. Gib . . . ' Instead of floating away in the murky Mississippi, Mud Island has remained a Memphis landmark. After many _vears of serious contemplation, the Memphis City Council has finally voted to construct a River Museum. The museum vvill be a multi-million dollar project which will draw tourists from all parts of the country to our city. The museum will contain many exhibits tracing the history of the river from its discovery by Hernando DeSoto lo its present day function of serving as a river highway. ' The museum will have a flowing replica of the river. The replica will show the river starting in Minnesota and running through the country before dumping into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans. All the different major parts of the river will serve as themes to exhibits and restaurants. The museum will provide 1 50 jobs to Memphis area students. It is ho ped that the museum will inspire many other downtown businesses to refurbish and aid in the revitalization of dowmtown. A monorail system will be built to connect Mud Island to downtown. The museum has been the topic of many arguments among city leaders. Many people are concerned that too much money has been put into a project that many people feel is doomed to failure. Others say that with inadequate parking and not enough downtown hotels that the project will not become a successful tourist attraction. Onlv the future will tell.

A miniature Mississippi River cuts across Mud Island as construction begins on the new Mud Island Development project. A recent student poll revealed that 90% of a randomly selected group thought that the .Mud Island complex was a waste of money ; 8% thought it ' ' might succeed ; 2% thought it had no chance without a campground ; and 0% though it would definitely succeed. Senior Jay Mednikow surveys the new Mud Island complex on the River. MUD ISLAND 21 3 To a Great Ninth Grade Student Body MR. AND MRS. E. WILLIAM JAMES Compliments of HARRY L. HAWKINS, M.D., P.C.

E.H.Crump Co. 5350 Poplar • 761-1550 !I4 A[)S The most famous name in security isn ' t Guardsmark. But maybe it should be. The companies with the most famous names in security want you to beheve 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 ma ke 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 Dick Fisher or John H. Ray at our toll-free number, 800- 238-5878, or write our home office, 22 South Second Street, Memphis, TN 38103, and find out how we can help you all across the country.

Many people have helped in putting The Owl together, and I thank them. Thornton Brooksbank came through as a reliable photography editor. Vance Roe was the best darkroom editor that I have seen in a long time, and without him this book might have not been here. I owe much gratitude to Mr. Osborne who revitalized the photography and darkroom staffs and took any pictures we asked him to. Mrs. Saunders was an invaluable asset in organizing the cover photograph and in taking pictures of the plays. Above all, I thank Mr. Haguewood, for without his time and patience this book would not have been printed. Jay Mednikow practices taking pictures of other people taking pictures.

Playing in the quarter-finals of the tournament, the Owls had to face Chattanooga Kirkman, the best team in Chattanooga ' in any classification. Through regulation play and two over-, times, the Owls and Kirkman played even basketball. In the third overtime, though, Kirkman came out with some strong firepower to defeat the Owls. 59-51. Down by one at halftime and playing without starting center, James Rantzow, the Owls still had a chance to win the game and advance to the semi- finals. By the middle of the fourth quarter, the Owls led by eight points, due in part to outstanding play by Kevin Parker. A press and key shots by Kirk- man ' s David Strong, who led all scor- ers with 30 points, however, sent the game into overtime, but only after Kevin Parker missed a twelve-foot jump shot at the buzzer. After Scott Rose slipped on a lay-up at the begin- ning of the first overtime. Kirkman held the ball for the remainder of the first two overtimes. In the third over- time, Kirkman got hot and escaped with an eight-point win. Kirkman went on to lose to East in the state finals, and the Owls came home after completing one of their most successful years ever. They were the first team inMUS hisloryto win the district, regional, and sub-state in the same year. STATISTICS Si-oiing- Scott Rose (417 pts.) Rebounding- David Montague (205 lebs.)

Oh tlwsc fmW Barton Thrasher launches a jumber in the sub-state game against Kings- bury, directly in front of a sea of red and blue face paint. The student section played a vital role in the district, regional, and sub-slate with their tremendous enthusiasm. TELETHON Again this year, MUS sponsored one hour of the Easter Seal Telethon on Sunday, March 28. From 6AM until 7AM, students answered phones and took pledges. During the two ten-min- ute local segments, various facets of the school were presented, such as a six-minute videotape about MUS pro- duced by Scott Smith and Steve Mouk. Civic Service Club president Chuck Blatteis received a pie in the face, but only after the scheduled faculty mem- ber did not show up. The school earned the right to sponsor this hour after ranking among the top ten money- raising high schools for Easter Seals. The experience was enjoyed by all, and many people were helped by the efforts put forth. Fnur-on-onc breaks were a common sight in the wheelchair basketball game. Here, the more mobile River City Rollers take advantage of a hapless Donald Brady. NOAH REVISITED Several students ivode through the lake behind the fine arts wing, but Mark Nash remains on his island alter his cries lor help fall on the closed ears of Danny Donovan. After a torrential down- pour on Friday, April 16, the basement of the fine arts wing had to be cleared so that the three inches of water could be drained. No serious damage was done, but several art projects were turned into psychadelic masterpieces of swirling color.

A disheartening loss to Collierville. A football bowl victory over CBHS. A blood drive and an aluminum drive to accompany the can drive. Excellent comedy in Deadwood Dick and drama in The Crucible. One of the best basketball seasons ever. Snow holidays. School Day Picture Day. A state soccer championship. An unusually successful ad campaign. A new computer system in Hyde Library. These are only a few of the sometimes joyous, sometimes disappointing, always exciting, event s we have to remember. Diversity reigns in our lives, yet, through all, a sense of togetherness pervades.
