After our faculty made its own analysis of our strengths and plans for improvement, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools came to evaluate the school for re-accreditation. They wanted to know whether we measured up to their rigorous standards. A SACS committee of professors from colleges, public schools, and other independent schools visited the school for three days in February to vahdate the results of our own self-examination. In its own way The Owl asks the Question: Do we measuree up to our own expectations? to our original purpose and objectives? to the standards set by former students? Do we measure up? i r, -.a?i I ' ■■ ■■■m!!.!| Measuring Up ' 6 Opening in ACADEMICS TTWTWTTWFWl to establish and maintain high scholastic standards Charter, Memphis University School, 1953 In any conclusive evaluation, we must measure up to our traditionally high standards in Academics. Do we? Do we push ourselves to the limit of our mental ability, or do we accept less than our best? To measure up as students, we must first have the will-power and initiative needed to brush up on yesterday ' s notes, study for the big test, or cram for the daily quiz. We study almost anywhere on campus — in the library, on the lounge porch, in the foyer. We crack the books during free periods and after Physical Development, at times when we would much rather be doing something else. Look through the main body of the yearbook.

Do we? Do we possess the bearing of true gentlemen, or do we flout the connotations of the school motto, Veritas Honorque? To measure up as gentlemen, we must first have a strong code of honor and propriety. Despite occasional violations of the Honor Code, we believe that the Code is helpful in encouraging honor among students. Other stout traditions of our school — showing respect for authority, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in Chapel, and wearing coat and tie on Fridays — have been preserved.

Do we? Do we break the all-important tape after clearing the last hurdle, or do we stumble coming off the starting block? To measure up as athletes, we must first have the motivation and stamina needed to train for the race. Logging many hours of conditioning on the track, we prepare well. Whether our game, match, or round is played on the field, mat, course, diamond, court, or track, we train ourselves to go the extra mile. Look through the main body of the yearbook.

In Student Life, we more than measured up. Student Life 13 Student Council ELECTIONS: 6 Steps to Victory 1 . Once again, the North Hall is cluttered by campaign posters, the unmistakable sign of the beginning of election week. The person with the most creative, i.e., outrageous signs gets the most votes, or so the contestants hope. 2. After throwing clip-on ties to the audience, Jeff Siewert gives his campaign speech for the vice-presidency. The Council members must have a good relationship with the faculty; in fact, I ' ve invited Mr. MacQueen over to spend the night several times. A humorous speech will usually bring voters to a candidate ' s side, although some seriousness is also necessary to get votes. i 3. Just before voting in the foyer of the gym, John Adams is bribed by Trey Jordan. Candidates think that tasty candy will sway their sweet-toothed voters. Unfortunately, many students forget which candidates gave them the most bubble gum, jawbreakers, and tootsie rolls. 14 Student Life .

Mr. Andy Saunders ' MUSTA ' D spring pro- duction The Musical Revue was a Broad- way spectacular which traced 75 years of music from I ' m a Yankee Doodle Dandy in 1904 to What I Did for Love from A Chorus Line in 1978. The Revue made use of varied technical and theatrical effects, including smoke ex- plosions and background lighting ar- rangements by Steve Mook. Brad Flynn and Jeff Smith operated the lights overhead. Many long hours of work went into the arrangement of the thousands of Christmas tree lights, which resulted in a breathtaking sight. The musical numbers were conducted by Mrs. Brenda Russell. She and Mr. Saunders choreographed the elaborate dance routines. The cast of the Revue consisted of 9 MUS students: Tom Higley, Scott Douglas, Posey Hedges, Rufus Jones, William Webb, Joe Lazarov, Mark Wright, Woody Degan, and Jay Med- nikow; 10 girls from St. Mary ' s, Ridgeway, Germantown, and Hutchison. Maggie Eikner, Susan Daggett, Anne An- thony, Elizabeth Wood, Sharon Dula, Florence Raines, Susan Van Cleve, Mary Tabor, Jody Barringer, and Cara Winsett.

But nothing could be further from the truth, as the hundreds of people involved in the school ' s summer activities will readily attest. Every year students participate in summer school, day camp, and various sports camps. The co-ed summer session, under the direction of Mr. John Springfield, brought together 251 students from several schools in the area for a variety of courses. The major classes — English, Math, and History — were available for students needing remedial work and those wanting additional credit. Electives, such as typing and computer math, were also offered. Mrs. Alma Pitner ' s seasonal driver ' s education course enabled many to acquire the driving skills necessary for a driver ' s license. The Day Camp, under Coach Rudolph, offered organized activities for 150 boys, ages 6 to 12. Each of the two three- week sessions was highlighted by an overnight campout, several sports activities, crafts, films, and nature hikes. The camp counselors were Mr. Craig Schmidt, Mr. Bill Taylor, Mr. John Cady, alumnus David Rudolph, and students Bill Lansden and Mac McCarroll. The school sponsored two sports camps: the basketball camp, under Mr. Jerry Peters, and the tennis clinic, under Mr. Bill Taylor. One hundred boys from grades 4-9 participated in the former, which stressed the basic skills of the sport. The tennis clinic gave boys and girls ages 12-16 a chance to practice their strokes and sharpen their match play. The school ' s summer program fulfilled its basic purpose of bringing together diverse groups of students in order to further their knowledge or skill in a particular area of interest. With a critical eye, Larry Lee watches Susan Meriwether work with a computer in Mr. Tom Brown ' s summer computer course.

NINETY DA YS OF FREEDOM During the summer students and faculty again proved that they can find adventure almost anywhere. Whether on foreign ground or home turf, they found challenges ranging from getting an even tan to conquering a rugged mountain or raging river. On the MUS-in-England program, fifteen boys accompanied a St. Mary ' s coed, two California valley girls, and faculty members Mr. Norman Thompson and Mr. Robert Boelte on the annual foray into England and Paris. Since the purpose of the trip was to educate as well as to entertain, the group members spent much of their time listening to lectures on English history and visiting the House of Parliament, St. Paul ' s Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower. In addition, they went to Yorkshire, where they studied the locale of the Bronte sisters ' literary works and participated in a five-day individual project designed to accentuate English culture and geography. Standing on the Great Wall, Mr. Daniel contemplates the beautiful Chinese countryside. Probably the most travelled teacher, he has fascinated his students with tales of the Far East, Europe, and the Soviet Union. After their visit to Notre Dame, in Paris, the participants in the MUS-in-England program exhibit various emotions: First Row: Preston Rogers, Jeff Breazeale, Judy Levin, Steve Carpenter.

Liber tyland offers the tourist many hours of diversion. Mud Island is the hottest of Memphis ' new tourist attractions. The visitor to the island is whisked over the Wolf River by monorail. Once on the island, Glynn Alexander surveys the River Walk, a highly unusual and pleasant feature of Mud Island. 22 Memphis Why Memphis ' Why do tourists come to Memphis? Recently, an unidentified tourist, let ' s call him Mr. T., landed at Memphis International Airport looking for a good time in the city. Wanting nothing but the best, he stayed inone of Memphis ' best hotels, the Peabody. Newly renovated by Belz Enterprises, the establishment is billed as again and forever the South ' s grand hotel. At the hotel lobby near the duck fountain, one can supposedly see everybody who is anybody in the Delta. After looking at the ducks for a few minutes, Mr. T caught sight of two of the better restaurants in Memphis, Dux and Chez Philippe. After two hearty meals, he decided to go up to the second floor, where he listened to the band in the Continental Ballroom. On his first full day of sightseeing, Mr. T. visited the major drawing attraction to Memphis, Elvis Presley ' s Graceland, a mansion situated on 13.8 acres of land, containing everything from a racquetball house to a trophy room holding many costumes, awards, and all of Elvis ' gold, silver, and platinum albums. Getting up late the next morning, Mr. T. decided to revive himself by taking a walk over to the Mud Island Theme Park. After the brief tram ride over the water to the park, Mr. T. strolled alongside a scale model of the Mississippi from its source at Itasca State Park in Bemidji, Minnesota, to its mouth in New Orleans. After a quick lunch at the River Terrace Restaurant, Mr. T. toured the River Museum. Since he had heard about a fun theme park over in Midtown, Mr. T. went back to the mainland and took a cab over to Libertyland. Once there, he headed for the Park ' s biggest attraction, the Revolution, which is both a loop and a corkscrew. He also went on the log flume, the Zippin ' Pippin, the merry-go-round, and the many other rides. The Peabody, Mud Island, Graceland, Libertyland — four good reasons for anyone to visit Memphis. The entrance to the Presley mansion is the beginning of the Graceland adventure for the thousands of tourists who annually flock to Memphis. Hoping his fake I.D. will cover his baby face, Andrew Shainberg forces a smile as he enters Peabody ' s Dux Restaurant. A pilgrimage for thousands of music fans is Elvis ' s gravesite, Meditation Gardens, which is also the private graveyard for other Presley family members. Why Memphis? 23 Instant Replay: Back-to-School After three months of summer freedom and frolic, student nervous systems meet a sudden and severe shock when they collide with back-to-school week. But we quickly re-establish homeostasis by sharing the summer ' s adventures with classmates, by getting rowdy at the year ' s first pep rally, by cheering the football team to victory in the season opener, and by dancing the night away at the Victory Dance afterwards. And you probably think cheerleader practice is easy. Brad Flynn ' s shoulders get a shoe-massage from Avery Patton.

Freshr= ' Senior E I hbaT The third freshman-senior retreat, held on October 3 and 4, allowed the eighty-six seniors and freshmen who participated to have fun and to get to know each other better. The retreat was held on the Walt farm outside Moscow, Tennessee, where a few diligent seniors and Dr. Steve Oehman had spent several weeks clearing off an area for tents and setting up the obstacle course. The seniors and freshmen, along with Oehman and then-faculty member Mr. Mike Hancock, left for Moscow on Saturday morning to carry out the day ' s events. However, due to some unforeseeable circumstances such as Gary Wolfs broken-wrists accident on the obstacle course, certain activities had to be eliminated. As a result, improvised activities, like mimicking teachers, were held. Despite the switch in plans during the afternoon, the evening ' s activities were well-planned and enjoyable. The main purpose of the retreat was to give the seniors and freshmen a chance to form new friendships. For the seniors, the trip offered many leadership opportunities as well. For the freshmen, the retreat symbolized their coming of age, their initiation into the customs of Upper School life. Worn out by the day ' s events, seniors and freshmen including Paul Anderson, Gavin Murray, Steve Shipiey, Lloyd Monger, Mike Patterson, Steve Carpenter, Archer Bagley, Chip Tipton, John Tally, Stewart Austin, and Michael Pickens take time to relax at the retreat. Senior Coie inman braves the killer obstacle course and sets an example for the freshmen. The course was designed to separate the men from the boys. On Saturday evening after dinner, Dr. Oehman and Richard Greenwald set up their tent so they can get some rest. 26 Student Life Fall Fest In addition to raising $500 for the Student Council, the fifth annual Fall Fest, held on October 9, provided four hours of entertainment for all who came. The Extraneous Roots and Fingers supplied music for the crowd, while homerooms operated money-making game-booths ranging from the Football Throw to the Mouse Race. The Fest climaxed with a muddy tug-of-war pitting MUS Seniors against those from Hutchison and St. Mary ' s Boosting the Student Council treasury and entertaining the participants, the Fest was a success. To release her primal passions, Meg Byers savagely hammers a ' 69 Chevy Impala. As Adam Kriger and Gary Wolf Xook on, Jimmy Ringel gleefully picks off innocent bystanders at the Fest. The singer for the Extraneous Roots, Brian Throat Sullivan, captivates the audience. His fellow Roots included Jeff Siewert, Posey Hedges, and Glynn Alexander. Traditionally a professional band has been hired for the Fest, but this year student bands provided the music, saving money for the Student Council and entertaining their classmates more than previous bands have. 28 Student Life A ■ -t: f ..

Foofball HOMECOMING: Whaf a Week! Football Homecoming Week, highlighted by a decisive victory over Bishop Byrne, was a success for the Student Council and for the entire student body. The Council enlivened the week by planning different events for each school day. Tuesday became Derby Day, on which students wore the bizarre headgear of their choice. They were allowed to wear sunglasses on Wednesday ' s Shade Day, followed by Red and Blue Day on Thursday, when everyone donned the school colors. The week climaxed with Grub Day Friday as students replaced coats and ties with blue jeans and T-shirts. After a pep rally in Chapel that day, Mr. Greg Carmack ' s band, the Rabid Catfish, performed and the students attended an Ice Cream Social at Hutchison. On Friday the Upper School also voted for Homecoming Queen from a court including Michelle Anderton, Cissy Bruce, Alisa Buckley, Anne Latham, Leslie Patton, and Rachel Ryeland. That evening, at halftime of the football game. Student Council Vice-President Jeff Siewert crowned Michelle Anderton as Homecoming Queen. After crucifying Bishop Byrne 36-14, the students boogied to the sounds of AM FM in the Clack Dining Hall as Homecoming Week ended. We can ' t get no skits in chapel. Jeff Siewert and Wyatt Isbell lament the loss of the traditional Homecoming skit. On seventh period Friday, MUS students travelled next door to the annual Hutchison Ice Cream Social to get a last-minute date for the dance or just to chat with a friend. On Derby Day, senior Steve Carpenter is fascinated by the thought that he might get his picture in the annual. Homecoming Week allows students to get schoolwork off their minds and relax for a while.

There are now almost as many guitarists here as choral music singers, and the number of drummers is also growing rapidly. Several bands consisting of only a guitarist and a drummer have been formed within the last y ear; others have a singer, bass guitarist, and keyboard player as well. Such groups as The Extraneous Roots, Fingers, Acuoasm, The Rabid Catfish, and The Roach Motels have entertained (or, in some cases, tried to entertain) students on and off campus. Some groups may be better than others, but one thing is certain — right now the school has more rock bands than it has ever had at one time. Pounding away in the chapel, junior Drew Taylor works on his drum techniques. Although he makes it seem easy, playing the drums requires as much practice as any other instrument. Very pleased with the beauty of his musical output, Albert Alexander of the band Fingers warms up on his keyboard before the Homecoming gig. Music 35 As fall moves on into winter, hunting seasons for turkey, duck, deer, and quail lure students to their favorite spots to kill their favorite game. Hunting, one of the most popular student pastimes, claims about one fourth of the student body every year as serious hunters, and many others as occasional hunters. Dove season, the earliest of the hunting seasons, begins in September and is followed soon by turkey season in the early fall. Although autumn hunting was slow this year, more people hunted in the winter. The duck season was not very good this year either, since the warm weather kept the ducks from moving south as they usually do. Instead, many duck hunters tried deer for a change. Some popular hunting spots include Hatchecoon, Five Lakes Hunting Club, and the Greasy Slough in Arkansas. However, some hunters find the best game on privately-owned farms in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Aiming at his prey, Mr. John Cady takes a break from teaching to indulge in his favorite hobby, hunting quail. After a weekend of duck hunting, senior Posey Hedges displays his hard-earned prize: seven fat ducks for Christmas dinner. 36 Student Life ' lL Before setting out on another hunting expedition.

Hunting 37 a ' ■ wp ' Election Fever Just before Thanksgiving, election season fell, and students were given a chance to voice their opinions about who should be mayor. Dick Hackett was the overwhelming victor in our poll. The polling committee then set up a few hypothetical run-offs involving both Hackett and J. O. Patterson, as well as Mike Cody and Pat VanderSchaaf. The following tables reveal some surprising results as students show that they are not always predictable. How We Did It On the day of the mayoral election, The Owl issued a sample ballot to the approximately 300 students in the Upper School. The students were to choose one candidate in each of the surveys. Two of the polls represent actual elections, but two others are hypothetical situations.

The play, staged by Mr. Rob Jolly of Hutchison and Mr. Andy Saunders of MUS, ran November 1 8 through 2 1 at Hutchison ' s Weiner Theater. It featured ninety-three cast members and a sixteen-piece orchestra directed by Mrs. Ginger Hopkins. Based on Charles Dickens ' classic novel Oliver Twist, with songs written by Lionel Bart, this hit Broadway musical tells the story of an unlucky orphan ' s adventures in England in the 1830 ' s. He is reared in a workhouse and runs away to London, where he is taken in by thieves. The play closes as Oliver is reunited with his real grandfather. Oliver! was a smashing success according to everyone who attended, and is the first in a proposed series of joint MUS-Hutchison fall plays.

A Liberty Bowl cake helped commemorate the 1982 Liberty Bowl, where Coach Paul Bryant coached his last football game. Part of the Memphis State success story was the floor leadership provided by A.T., Andre Turner, freshman point-guard from Mitchell High School. % — c Thanks for the Memories The State of Alabama, football fans everywhere, men and women whose lives he had touched mourned the death of Paul Bear Bryant on January 26, 1983. He left a winner. His 21-15 victory over Mike White ' s Fighting Illini at the Liberty Bowl was his 323rd and final win. As usual he gave all the credit to his players and assistant coaches. After the game, Illinois quarterback Tony Eason said: I ' m sorry we lost the game, but how can you have negative feelings about Bear Bryant? This is something Fll be able to tell my grandchildren. You don ' t forget an experience like this. It was a privilege to be on the field with Coach Bryant. Prior to the Liberty Bowl, Coach Paul Bear Bryant granted an exclusive interview to the Owl ' s Hoot in the Memphis State practice facility. 44 Memphis WINTER SPORTS IN MEMPHIS MSU Tigers, Liberty Bowl, the Americans Make a Winter to Watch Winter was a time for great spectator sports in Memphis — if you could get a ticlcet. The Liberty Bowl was a sellout: Bear Bryant ' s last football game, Illinois ' All- American quarterback, suffocating media coverage. And even the game itself was excellent. A little bit of everything found its way into the contest: unbelievable passes by Eason, awesome hits by the Alabama defensive secondary, kickoff returns, long runs from scrimmage, sustained drives, game not decided until the final seconds. When it was all over, Bama had won 21-15. Memphis State ' s basketball team made fans forget their football team, at least for the season. Ail-American Keith Lee, Phillip Doom Haynes, Bobby Parks, Andre Turner, Derrick Phillips, Baskerville Holmes — these were names on student lips throughout the winter and on into spring. Number one for a few hours before being upset at Virginia Tech; wins over Wichita State, Kansas, North Carolina State, Ole Miss; first-round NCAA bye and a decisive second-round win over Georgetown before losing a close one to l-seed Houston and the Phi Slamma Jamma fraternity — these were highlights of a sellout season. The Memphis Americans, though never a sellout, had an excellent entertainment package to market. Led by all-star striker Stan Stamenkovic, the Americans were up and down during a season which ended with a cellar spot in their division. Everybody ' s All-American Keith Lee led the Memphis State Tigers to national recognition. The Tigers stayed in the Top 20 during the entire season, thanks to victories like this one over Wichita State at Mid-South Coliseum.

As the school shuts down and the city opens up each Friday, party animals are unchained and storm the latest hot spots with their dates. The heart of the city is downtown, and here, a variety of entertainment can be found. Big spenders love eating dinner at the Peabody Hotel, while punks can find a niche at the Antenna Club, the first New Wave joint in Memphis. Other restaurants downtown include Number One Beale overlooking the river. River Terrace on Mud Island, and the Rendezvous, which allegedly provides the best ribs in town. Midtown, also, is bustling with life on the weekends. Overton Square at night offers many different types of entertainment from Friday ' s to Solomon Alfred ' s. Popular restaurants in this area are Garibaldi ' s and Woody ' s. In East Memphis, fast food places like Danver ' s, McDonald ' s, and the Sub Shop are scattered everywhere, while finer establishments, like Bennigan ' s, Hoolihan ' s, and Louie ' s are available as well. Video arcades also flourish; the Funhouse and Worlds of Fun are jam-packed on Fridays. And, of course, varsity football and basketball always attract spirited students. Many students attend dances and parties organized by sororities and social clubs, including Four Seasons, Decem, Oui Modernes, SKS, Chi Sigma, Pannettes, and Chez Nous. After another awesome pack by Craig Christenbury, the crowd at the Briarcrest basketball game goes wild. 48 Student Life Grinning from ear to ear, Andy Seessel and Michelle Nelson pose for their Victory Dance picture in the foyer.

The air around campus was charged with the hope that snow would fall and sc hool would close. Although there was only one snow day this year, the winter months provided everyone with a few chances to enjoy themselves before the dreaded spring grind. The Christmas spirit was alive and well as always. Twenty-four students, aged 17 or older, became volunteer blood donors this winter. Five thousand cans of food had been donated earlier by homerooms to help needy families in Memphis survive the Iwinter and have a nice Thanksgiving inner. After first-semester exams, everyone enjoyed two weeks of Christmas holidays before beginning the second term, which was highlighted by Student Exchange day on March 3, a program involving MUS, Briarcrest, Germantown, Kirby, Central, and Ridgeway. Winter at MUS ended this year with the first joint MUS-Hutchison Talent Show, held on March 5.

Paying close attention are Tommy Garner and Barry Gilbert. II 1 1 52 Student Life The Things We ' ve Had to Sit Throughl f Chapel programs are an institution; each student spends an average of one hour and forty minutes a week, sixty hours a year in his designated seat in chapel. On Friday, the students keep in touch with the outside world through lectures from prominent members of the community. On Wednesday, often a faculty member will speak on a topic he feels is important. Before a big football or basketball game — or sometimes even a big soccer game — the students enjoy a pep rally conducted by the cheerleaders. Although some chapel programs have been less enjoyable than others, the weekly assembly has been as important a learning experience as any class. During their homeroom period, two typical Kirby girls (Tommy Hayes and Wyatt Isbell) fight over a mutual boy friend (Robert Taylor). The long- awaited Basketball Homecoming skit in chapel helped to fire up the students for the victory over Kirby.

Manus, the team ' s medalist in four of the six dual matches, lowered the state individual record for region play with his round of 62. Nine birdies produced a score of nine under par. In addition, Manus had two possible eagle putts that rimmed the cup and would not fall. So his record of 62 could have been a 60 if the holes had been a little wider.

Their collective performance earned the team a second-place finish in the tourney. The following week, the Owls travelled to Nashville to compete in MBA ' s F. E. Carter Memorial Tournament. Barry, Kremer, and Scott won individual events, and the doubles team of Morris and Halliday came in second. The team ' s first-place finish solidified the Owls ' second-place rank in the state. In post-season action the Owls exhibited their superiority over local opponents, winning the District with the maximum number of points. Scotty Scott pulled off a major upset with a 6-4, 6- 1 win over No. 1-seed Dale Thompson of Harding. Jeff Barry won the singles competition, 6-4, 6-2 over teammate Kremer. Also, Barry and Scott won the doubles over Halliday and Kremer. The Owls took the Regionals with a solid all-around team performance.

The Owls placed fifth in the MUS Invitational in a tough 6-team field and fourth often teams in the Harding Invitational. With fewer than ten qualifying for the Regional, the thin-clads placed ninth. Although it was not an outstanding year for the team, several members of the team performed superbly and qualified for regional and state competition. The team, week-in and week-out, was led by senior Don Brady and juniors Craig Christenbury and Mac McCarroll. Christenbury was the team point leader, competing in the high jump, shot put, discus, hurdles, and long jump. In the high jump Christenbury tied a school record of 6 ' 4 and he combined with Brady to form a strong high-hurdling duo. Both Christenbury and Brady qualified for the regionals; they placed fifth and sixth respectively. Mac McCarroll was strong all year in the shot put. He ended the year with second-place finishes in both the regional and state meets. Don Brady finished his track career with a fine performance in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles. He finished third in the regional with a personal-best time of 41.2. Other members of the team who contributed greatly were distance runners Rick Riggins and John Fisher, and sprinters Steve Lawrence, Paul Luttrell, and Tommy Poirier. In late May Craig Christenbury finished third in the Regional Decathlon. He followed that impressive showing with an even more impressive 3rd-place finish in Nashville at the State Decathlon. He scored 6,850 points (possible 10,000) with his strongest scoring in the discus and shot put events. The first-lap leader of the 2-lap 800-meter run at the Regional meet, Scott King eventually will finish 4th. The Regional is run at Memphis State ' s 9-lane track on the Kennedy campus.

As a result of the team ' s finish, its string of unbeaten seasons in 8th grade track was extended to eight, meaning the team has never lost a meet since the formation of its league. The Owls opened the season by defeating Briarcrest and Harding in a triangular meet. MUS swept all the relays and Andy McCarroll won the 100-and 200-yard dashes. The next week the team defeated Frayser Baptist and Memphis Prep. In this meet, Andy McCarroll was phenomenal, setting a new Lower School record of 5 ' 8 in the high jump, winning the 100-and 220-yard dashes, and anchoring the victorious mile relay team. A week later in their closest meet of the year, the team defeated Harding and Frayser Baptist. Greg McGowan broke the discus record by more than 10 feet with a toss of 1 36 ' 8 . McCarroll again won the high jump, shot put, and both dashes. The 8th-grade team then won the championship meet with a score of 55 points, 15 more than runner-up Harding.

Four seniors — Bill Lansden, David McGowan, Bill Proctor, and Jon Howard — easily broke .400. There were standouts in every area. The Most Valuable player was McGowan, who provided consistent leadership at catcher. The leading hitter for the third year in a row was Bill Injun Lansden. Bill Proctor, who displayed good pitching ability, also led the team in triples. Ken Johnson, who was the number-one starting pitcher even with a sore arm, led the infield in fielding percentage.

Because of a sub-. 500 record last year, the Junior Varsity team, under new head coaches Dr. Reginald Dalle and Mr. Greg Carmack, had an uncertain future ahead of it. However, all fears of a repeat of last year disappeared as the team ran up a 12-1 record. The balance of superb offense and tough defense was the key as the Owls outscored their opponents 52-7. The JV opened its season with an impressive win over Germantown, 7-1, in a game that was characterized by a stubborn defense. In the next 6 games, which included wins over Harding and Coilierville, the defense was again strong while the potent Owl offense produced 25 goals. In the victory over Harding, Chris Crosby and Louis Smithwick combined for 6 of the team ' s goals. Two games later, Idlewild upset the more powerful Owls in the only setback of the season. However, the team bounced back and took the league championship with a 3-1 win over St. Louis. The great defense was led by Richard Werman along with outside defenders Robert Skinner and Evan Speight. Sophomore goalkeeper Ken Jones recorded 6 shut-outs for the season. Offensively, the Owl goals were usually set up by midfielders Jeff Billions, Bob Campbell, and Kirk Van Dyke. On the receiving end of the passes from midfield were wings Salil Parikh and Adam Segal, who often assisted forwards Chris Crosby and Louis Smithwick in scoring.

JV Soccer 73 DEFENDING THE TITLE Defense Leads Kickers to 3rd Place in State Defending its state title was the task ahead of Coach Craig Schmidt ' s varsity soccer team as it began the season. A repeat performance seemed impossible because 7 key players had been lost to graduation. However, the effect of the losses was hard to see as the Owls went 1 5-2- 1 . Excellent defensive play was exhibited by Angus Webber, Lee McWaters, Jeff Smith, Tommy Lee, and goalkeepers Shawn Snipes and Glynn Alexander as the Owls gave up only 12 regular-season goals. Snipes and Alexander posted 7 shut-outs while Snipes led the state in saves with 69. Experienced midfielders Larry Creson, Andy Seessel, Robert Wallace, and Matthew Daniel teamed with the front line of John Monaghan, Tom Hayes, and Michael Peeler to compose a potent Owl offensive attack. While the defense was giving up an average of less than a goal per outing, the powerful offensive attack was scoring at a 4-goal-per- game clip. The offense scored 7 goals three times during the year and scored 5 goals or more 9 times. Monaghan and Creson led the team in scoring with 1 1 goals each. The only impasse for the Owls came against CBHS and Craigmont. At CBHS, the Brothers capitalized on MUS mistakes and pulled out a 3-2 win. Craigmont surprised the varsity, who had just clinched the district title, ai)d escaped with a 2-2 tie. (continued on page 77) Displaying the evasive nature he brought to his midfield position, Matthew Daniels attempts to manuever the ball downfield against CBHS in the only loss of the regular season.

(continued) Nevertheless, the team ' s 13-1-1 record was enough to earn it a berth in the state tournament in Oak Ridge. The 3rd-seeded Owls opened with Briarcrest, who had the leading scorer in the state. The Saints were no match for the balanced MUS attack. The offense was led by Robert Wallace ' s two goals and Ricky Fogelman ' s two assists. With brilliant defensive play from Angus Webber and Shawn Snipes, the Owls walked away with an easy win, 5-0. A rematch with CBHS was the only obstacle in the Owl ' s path to the state finals. Regulation play ended with the score tied 1 - 1 . In the overtime period, MUS had to play down one man because of an ejection. On the power play CBHS scored the winning goal and the game ended 2-1 . Andy Seessel tallied the lone Owl goal in defeat. MUS entered the consolation game determined to bring home the 3rd-place trophy. Farragut was the unlucky opponent as the Owls came out with an easy 3-1 victory. Team captain Larry Creson scored two goals and led the team to an accomplishment no other athletic team at MUS has ever achieved: finishing in the top three in a state tournament two years in a row.

The triple-option off the wishbone is devastating when run well, and no one in Shelby County runs it better than Drew Harris. The first of 3 options is a handoff to fullback Bobby Wade, the other options yet to come: Harris keeps or pitches to Bill Sorrells. MUS 28, Briarcrest 0; at MUS In the annual showdown against Briarcrest, both the offense and defense made impressive showings as the Owls overwhelmed the Saints, 28-0. Quarterback Drew Harris led the attack, completing 8 of 1 2 passes for 9 1 yards and scoring 3 of the team ' s 4 touchdowns. Halfback Bill Sorrells ripped the Saint defense for 1 16 yards on the ground, while junior Bobby Wade tallied the other touchdown. The defense effectively shut down the Briarcrest offense, allowing only 4 first downs and 105 yards. MUS 49, White Station 0; at MUS An improved squad took on White Station and again unleashed a balanced attack. The defense held the Spartans to 100 yards with Evans Jack and Richard Davis intercepting a pass each. The powerful offensive line wedged gaping holes through the hapless White Station defense and helped the backfield run up 345 yards. Sorrells again topped the 100- yard mark with 145 yards and scored 2 TDs, while Harris, Jay Steed, and Andy McCarroll also scored. MUS came away with an easy victory. MUS 40, Wooddale 26; at MUS The Owl offense scored on every possessio: in the first half, and Harris threw his first TD of the year, a 38-yarder to Craig Christenbury. Harris also led the rushing attack with 88 yards and 2 TDs while Bill Sorrells, Mac McCarroll, and freshman Andy McCarroll also scored. The scoreboard read 40-0 at halftime. Both of the first teams, offense and defense, did not play in the second half; the second and third teams logged some valuable playing time. Because the first string didn ' t play in the second half, the statistics were a little misleading as Wooddale actually outgained the Owls in total yardage, 264 to 250, and in the first downs, 9 to 8. The scored ended 40-26, but the superiority of the Buzzards was never in doubt. Fullback Bobby Wade plunges over the Saints ' defense to give the Owls another six. 78 Sports With a bone-jarring hit which caused the fumble, Murray Foster introduces himself to a Wooddale runningback as Jay Steed (28) and Rob Sumner (88) look on.

After faking the pitch to Sorrells, quarterback Drew Harris turns the corner for a sizable gain against Millington. A true triple-threat, Harris not only ran and passed but also punted for the varsity. THE DEVILS MADE THEM DO IT Still Smarting From 1-pt. Loss to G ' town, Owls Blast Kirby, Millington S IVS 13, Germantown 14; at MUS Excitement mounted as AAA 2nd- anked Germantown met AA 2nd-ranked US. The always heated rivalry was leightened by thoughts of state ihampionships and memories of last year ' s hriller in which the Devils had prevailed, !1-17. The Red Devils came out of the first lalf in control with a 14-0 lead as the eemingly flustered MUS offense proved inable to move the ball. After half time jermantown stayed in control until an i)wl punt midway into the third quarter parked a comeback. The Germantown mnt-returner signaled for a fair catch; but intimidated by blasters Richard Greenwald and Trey Jordan, he dropped the ball. A different Buzzard offense took the field as the previously abused offensive line began returning favors. The Owls marched steadily downfield and scored their first touchdown of the night on a 6-yard run by Bill Sorrells. A fired-up defense again halted the Germantown offense, forcing them to punt, and giving MUS the ball late in the fourth quarter. On this final drive the fans witnessed a remarkable performance by Quarterback Drew Harris. Under intense pressure, he cooly completed three fourth- down conversions to keep the drive alive. Finally he hit Mac McCarroll with a 20- yard touchdown pass to bring the Buzzards within one point. Pandemonium reigned as joyous players swamped Harris and McCarroll, but this confusion eventually cost the Owls the game. The coaches tried to calm the players for the next play, but the Owls were hit with a delay-of-game penalty. The kicking team took the field with time running out and made the extra-point attempt, but the hurried kick went wide, thus giving Germantown a narrow victory. MUS 27, Kirby 0; at Kirby In possibly the muddiest game ever played, the Owls buried the unfortunate Cougars 27-0. The overwhelming Buzzard defense held the whimpering Cougars to 16-yards in 40 carries on the ground, while the mired Owl offense managed to burrow out 201 total yards. Halfback Bill Sorrells led the ground attack with 79 yards in 9 carries, including a 26-yard touchdown spring in the first quarter; Harris added 63 yards and two touchdowns. Defensive back Murray Foster put the game away late in the fourth quarter with a 26-yard touchdown run on an interception. MUS 38, Millington 3; at MUS The Owls began to roll after a Lloyd Monger 30-yard field goal, as they wore out the Trojans in a no contest match. Bill Sorrells logged 173 yards in 14 carries and a touchdown, and Harris got 70 yards on the ground for 3 touchdowns and passed for 85 yards on 4 completions, including a 42-yard bomb to Christenbury and a 5- yard TD throw to Steve Carpenter. The defense, led by Richard Greenwald with 20 tackles, recovered four Millington fumbles and effectively shut down their offense. Because of several lopsided margins in favor of the Owls in the second half, sophomore quarterback Dede Malmo was able to log some valuable playing time. Here, Malmo prepares to handoff against Millington. Developing into one of the most aggressive linebackers in the MUS arsenal, senior Richard Greenwald collides with the Trojan runner, All-District Byron Bradford, in the backfield.

Quarterback Drew Harris repeatedly burned the Red Knights, scoring 3 times on the ground from 1,5, and 1 5 yards out, and throwing 2 TD-passes of 26 and 37 yards to Craig Christenbury and Rob Sumner, respectively. Bill Sorrells ripped the Knight defense for 185 yards on 14 carries, and Mac McCarroll added 73 yards on 1 1 carries. The Buzzard defense shut down highly recruited Byrne QB Randy Samples with Richard Davis leading the way with an interception. MUS 41, Harding 7; at Harding An overflow crowd of almost 25 Owl fans journeyed to Lionland to watch MUS blow away the Lions in an aquatic battle. The Owl offense slipped and slid at its leisure in the rain for 395 total yards. Drew Harris led the offense in rushing with 158 yards and 3 TD ' s, while Mac McCarroll led the Buzzard D with 7 tackles and a fumble recovery. Despite the inclement conditions, the offense was able to put the ball in the end zone 6 times, convert 3 of 5 PAT ' s, and add a 2 pt. conversion on a pass from Harris to McCarroll to humble the Lion pride, 41-7. MUS 10, CoUierville 7; at MUS Still smarting from last year when the Dragons dashed hopes of a playoff berth, the Owls eagerly awaited the arrival of Nathan Beason and company. From the outset it was largely a defensive battle as both offenses stalled. The first score of the game came late in the first half when Bill Sorrells, who had 1 03 yards for the night, exploded for a 58-yard jaunt through the Dragon defense, setting up a short TD-run by Drew Harris. In the second half CoUierville tied the game up on a pass for a touchdown, but Lloyd Monger soon put the Owls on top to stay with a 28-yard field goal. Displaying perfect sidewinder form, Lloyd Monger pushes the winning field goal through the uprights against CoUierville.

Varsity Football 83 SURGE TO REGION 2nd-Half Passing Puts Owls in Final 8 MUS 21, Ridgeway 3; at Halle In the first round of the state-football playoffs, MUS faced neighborhood-rival Ridgeway. After an early field goal by the Roadrunners and a scoreless first half for the Owls, MUS trailed 3-0. Running into the proverbial brick wall in the second half, the versatile Owls turned to the arm of Drew Harris and the passing game. Harris picked the Ridgeway secondary apart with a passing blitz, and combined with a smothering Buzzard defense, the Owls blew away the Roadrunners. Harris completed 9 of 12 passes for 158 yards including a TD-strike to wide-receiver Craig Christenbury, who had a productive night catching 5 passes for 1 1 1 yards. Harris himself ran for a touchdown, and junior Bobby Wade tallied the last Owl score. The defense held the Ridgeway backfield to just 81 yards on 35 carries; the secondary picked off three passes, two by Murray Foster. Despite the pleading of the Mustang defender, the referee calls it an MUS touchdown. This was one of the many scores in that disappointing loss to East. Realizing that the Mustang runner has left the ball behind, the Owl defense begins to converge on the loose pigskin. Fumbles on both sides plagued the action-packed quarterfinal contest. 1 Sports LOSING OUR GRIP Fumbles Give East 3-OT Quarterfinal Win On a goal-line stand late in the East game, MUS lost the services of all-Metro linebacker Mac McCarroll. On that fateful play, Mac ' s crunching hit on the East runner at the goal line could be heard throughout the stands. East ' s Andre Laird wasn ' t quick enough this time as linebacker Richard Greenwald drops him for a loss. MUS 34, East 40 (3-OT) A rainy, dismal night bode ill for the Owls, as MUS met East in the quarterfinal round of the state playoffs. The Owls came out smoking on their first possession with Bill Sorrells leading the attack and scored easily in 5 plays. However, the momentum of the game suddenly reversed as East caught fire behind the passing of Andre Laird. The Mustangs answered the Owls ' first score with a stampede of three touchdowns, and at halftime MUS found itself facing a 21-7 deficit. Stingy defenses on both sides kept the second half scoreless, until early in the fourth quarter when freshman Andy McCarroll pounced on an errant East snap. Quarterback Drew Harris and the offensive squad came in and engineered a drive which culminated in a 5-yard strike to Sorrells in the endzone. After the Owl defense corralled the Mustangs on their ensuing possession, MUS began a sustained drive from its own 33-yard line. With 1:09 left in regulation play, Harris lofted a pass to Mac McCarroll all alone in front of the goal posts. Then Lloyd Monger kicked the extra point to even the score at 21 and throw the game into overtime. East got the ball first to start off the overtime and put 7 more on the board, but MUS quickly evened it up once again. Then, the Owls got possession in accordance with overtime rules and scored another touchdown, but the point after was missed. The Mustangs tied the game at 34-all and then went for the winning extra point, but the kick flew wide to the left, keeping the Buzzards alive! East got possession yet again and scored yet again but missed the extra point yet again. The Owls saw their break. The crowd waited with bated breath as the offense lined up, but a fumble recovered by East crushed the dreams of the Owls for their first state football championship. Football Playoffs 85 STINGY Frosh Use Stout Defense to Thwart Larger Foes The determined ninth-grade Owls battled through what has been described as their toughest schedule ever, achieving a 5-2 record in the process. Five opponents came from the larger A AA class, and only two belonged to MUS ' s own AA class. Under the direction of coaches Don Walker and John Cady, the freshmen labored overtime to attain a high level of competence. One factor that enabled the Owls to reach this level was the extra four weeks of practice they gained by starting early with the varsity. Superior play execution and desire kept the relatively small Buzzards competitive in many ballgames in which they were outmanned by much larger opponents. The real success of the freshmen can probably be traced to their stingy defense. In seven games, the team posted four shutouts — against Bartlett, Collierville, Harding, and CBHS — and allowed only three touchdowns. The defense was led by Greg McGowan, Wesley Grace, Shelly Harrison, and Andy Wright. Blessed with great speed, the offense developed a consistency that saw few turnovers or mistakes on which opponents could capitalize. Wellford Tab or, Chad Parker, Scott Knowlton, Mike Higginbotham, quarterback Wesley Grace, running back Andy Wright, and kick-return man Paul Anderson were the winning impetus behind many offensive drives. Perhaps the most remarkable story of the season lies in the kicking of Archer Bagley. Archer was four out of five in field-goal attempts for the season. His longest was from 37 yards, and his only miss came from 55 yards. Several times during the season, Archer ' s foot made the difference in tight games, most notably in a 5-0 win over Collierville and a 3-0 win over CBHS. Quarterback Wesley Grace, leaves the Southaven defenders behind on this play in a 24-6 win. Grace and running back Andy Wright were the one-two punch for the offense this year. Exhibiting the quick and agile defense that was a trademark of the Owls this season, the Buzzard defenders sack the Southaven quarterback.

Coming within eighteen points of a perfect season, the baby Owls lost tough games to Kirby, St. Louis, and Briarcrest but defeated Skyview, Memphis Prep, Harding, and White Station. On the offensive unit, guards Dave Evans, Diego Winegardner, and Geoff Butler combined quickness and agility to open up holes in the opponents ' defenses. Tackles Ben Bullen, Wade Harrison, Edward Burr, and center Jack Ross filled out the line with their impressive size and strength. Leading the team in the backfield were Walter Scott, Bryan Gannaway, Doodle Laughlin, and Richard Hussey. John Moore, at wide receiver, added an important element of speed to the offense. However, in the tight spots, it was the Owls ' defense that proved most unrelenting. Buttressed by the strong play of Hughie Allan and Kevin Sipe, the first- team defense gave up only three touchdowns over the entire season. Moore, Scott, Gannaway, and Evans were particularly aggressive in their defensive play. Bryan Gannaway, wmner of the team Sportsmanship Award, also distinguished himself in the latter part of the season as a consistent extra-point kicker, winning the Harding game with a crucial, last-minute extra point. Other starters and key players were Bo Brooksbank, Trey Bostick, Johnny Dale, Alex Heros, Mike Crash, Todd Benitone, and Brian Browder. Coaches John McGee and Peter Denton give a great deal of credit to the many players who saw only occasional action, but who practiced regularly and never gave up.

While the team ' s seventh-place finish in the Regional meet does not indicate a powerful season, a closer look at the individual runners reveals a successful effort. Under the guidance of first-year coach Eddie Batey, Scott King ran in the first position all year, though King had had no previous running experience. King placed high all season and finished twelfth in the Shelby County and the Regional Championship. Running in the second position for the year, senior Doug Rockett provided the up-and-coming new runners with the experience and leadership of a two-year letterman. Another letterman, David Gardner, ran very well, even finishing ahead of Rockett in a couple of races. Returning sophomore Shea Ross ran in the fourth spot for the year, and the fifth and sixth positions alternated almost every race between Bill Cole and Elmore Holmes. Bill overcame his back injury of a season ago and improved throughout the year. Ninth grader Elmore Holmes was the rookie-of-the-year on the varsity level. Seventh-place McNeal McDonald, a returning sophomore letterman, ran by his own choice on the Junior Varsity team most of the season and eventually placed second in the JV Shelby County Championships. In the eighth and ninth positions, John Owen and John Cheek gutted it out though hampered by health problems. Returning varsity letterman Brad Miller could not finish the season because of illness. . Hot on the heels of the CBHS runner, Scott King turns onto the home stretch. King surprised many people by running in the first f)osition without previous experience. All alone, senior Doug Rockett is on his way to another good time. Doug ' s consistency was a stablizing factor on the team this year. 90 Sports There they go as Coach Batey unleashes the pack of JV runners.

In addition, students in Upper School PE are subjected to a weekly workout day, a combination of three of Coach Alston ' s favorite exercises: push-ups, sit-ups, and running. The biggest change, however, has been the elimination of Senior Independent PE. Gone with it are the hated Senior PE Reports. Despite the changes.

With Coach Alston presiding, Keith Moore (in MUS shirt) puts a quick move on Robert Sullivant. Physical Education 93 One of the bright spots for the Owls in the early going, Craig Christenbury takes it to the hole in his 19-point game against CBHS. Going up for the soft jumper, junior Jeff Barry tries to break the 30-30 deadlock at The Pond. One of the several different starters at the beginning of the season, Jeff proved invaluable coming off the bench later on in the year vk ' ith excellent perimeter shooting. 94 Sports OWL SKID EVENS RECORD Buzzards ' Initial 4-0 Spurt Balances at 8-8 Midway Into the Season After a quick 4-0 spurt in whicli four players averaged in or near double figures, Coach Peters ' varsity basketball team skidded to an 8-8 midseason mark. Entering the third week of a tough opening schedule at 4-0, the Owls faced CBHS, Briarcrest, and East — three of the toughest teams in the area — and lost. James Rantzow scored 1 8 points in a losing effort to CBHS, and Jim Barton got 25 before Briarcrest won by a point, 58-57, at Todd-Snowden Gym. After dropping a game to East, the Owls finished the first part of the season with a 44-38 win against Overton. Over the Christmas holidays, MUS faced Ridgeway, CBHS, and White Station in the East Memphis Classic. The Owls lost to the Brothers after edging Ridgeway by four. In the consolation game, MUS clipped White Station, 38-34. Jim Barton ' s 17-point, 6-rebound average during the tournament earned him a spot on the All-Tournament Team. As school resumed after the holidays, the Owls played very unencouragingly, dropping four of five games. In addition, the team lost the services of junior Chris Beard, who had started the previous two games, when he sustained a knee injury that would put him out of action for the rest of the season. The only encouraging factors in the losses were Jim Barton ' s 15- points-per-game average (including a 29- point performance in a 68-49 thrashing of Harding) and Craig Christenbury ' s 9 points-per-game average (including a 19- point performance head-to-head against CBHS ' s6 ' 10 LeeGoss). Deadly from the perimeter, sophomore phenomenon Jim Barton fills it full as the Brothers helplessly look Displaying the hustle and determination that earned him a starting position last year as a sophomore, junior Kevin Parker hangs some D on East. East was playing without two starters, as the Owls upset the Mustangs. Varsity Basketball 95 THE STREAK 8-8 Owls Jump to 18-8 On paper it ' s simple. Just put a 1 in front of the 8. However, the 10-for-lO white owl performance (In basketball practice, 10 out of 10 free throws is a white owl performance. Miss 5 or more: Black Buzzard ) by the basketball team salvaged a season which had seemed all but lost and also provided confidence going into the playoffs. The catalyst possibly came in the second game of the streak against Bartlett. The Owls pulled in double-figure performances from Joel Kaye, Jim Barton, and Craig Christenbury to outscore Bartlett 41-18 in the second half, thus gaining revenge for a 29-28 upset suffered earlier in the season. Or, perhaps Coach Peters ' 400th win, which came as a result of the Bartlett blowout, provided incentive for the players to try to get 410 also. A crucial game at Collierville occurred next. MUS was 1-2 (tied for third) within the district; Collierville was in first place. At halftime when the Dragons were up 25-12, it looked as if Collierville would stay in first place. But a 20-6 second-half spurt behind James Rantzow ' s 14 points and 9 rebounds earned the Owls a 32-31 win. Rantzow became a standout, leading the Owls to their next four wins in a row with an average of 21 points and 9 rebounds. David Boyd ' s guard play provided the team with much-needed senior leadership, playing solid defense and running the offense efficiently. Jim Barton scored in double figures consistently, while Craig Christenbury, Kevin Parker, Joel Kaye, and Jeff Barry all played well in valuable supporting roles. By the time the whirlwind turnaround was finished, MUS had won five straight district games to clinch first place outright, blowing away such teams as Harding, Millington, Germantown, Bartlett, Bishop Byrne, and Kirby. In a one-point loss to Briarcrest earlier in the season at Todd-Snowden Gym, Jeff Barry tries to add to a slim four-point lead that the Owls enjoyed before dropping this heartbreaker to the Saints. A key to the streak, new-found starter David Boyd prepares to dish it off against Kirby. Cleaning up the Trojans in the Millington blowout, junior John Willmott turns on the juice and gains some valuable experience for next year. 96 Sports Always looking inside lor the high- percentage shot, Kevin Parker spots James Rantzow with the defensive man on his hip and tries for the assist. Blowing past two Miilington defenders and leaving two more helpless, Craig Christenbury glides to the basket in search of another deuce. Varsity Basketball 97 MUS ' s tower of power. James Rantzow, puts in the stick-back during a four-game stretch in which he averaged 21 points and 9 rebounds a game. Mr. Inside as well as Mr. Outside, Jim Barton explodes from a triangle of Roadrunner defenders for the higher percentage shot in the Owls ' 42-40 Regional Tournament victory over Ridgeway. Seeing that they have the numbers, Jim Barton, Kevin Parker, and David Boyd fill the lanes on the fast break. The OwJ running game wasn ' t enough as Briarcrest took a 64-51 decision. 1983 VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM: First Row: John Willmott, Paul Reaves, Kevin Parker, Brent Turner, Tim Wise, David Boyd, ' Chris Beard.

Playing our best game of the year, according to senior Briarcrest guard John Wilfong, the Briarcrest team was able to defeat MUS despite James Rantzow ' s 23 points and 10 rebounds. Harding was the first foe in the District Tournament at Kirby. The Owls had had little trouble with Harding in the previous two meetings, and although Harding played well, Jim Barton ' s 20 points and 1 1 rebounds, David Boyd ' s 1 1 points and 9 assists, and James Rantzow ' s 1 1 points and 9 rebounds were too much. We met Kirby in the District Finals. The outcome: MUS 68, Dwight Boyd 38; MUS 68, Kirby 67 in overtime. Despite the finest single effort which the Owls faced all year. Tournament MVP Dwight Boyd could not overcome MUS ' s team play. James Rantzow and David Boyd were named to the All-Tournament Team, but any one of six or seven players on our team could have been named, said Coach Peters. James Rantzow and Jim Barton each had 15 points. Kevin Parker got 10 points, and David Boyd and Jeff Barry got 9 each. A lackluster Regional Quarterfinal effort against Ridgeway almost allowed Ridgeway to win, but Jeff Barry ' s streak- shooting in the second half got MUS back in the game. Barry got 1 3 points against Ridgeway. The season came to an abrupt end against a hot-shooting Collierville team, 59-42. In addition to James Rantzow ' s having a case of the flu, the Owls had to overcome a 51% field-goal, 88% free- throw-shooting performance by Collierville. James Rantzow was named to the Regional All-Tournament Team. Showing the form that earned him a spot on the All- District Tournament Team, David Boyd goes up for the shot against the Kirby Cougars. A key ingredient to the turnaround of the team was valuable bench play. Here, reserves allow starters Kevin Parker and David Boyd to catch a short rest. Varsity Basketball 99 Against Harding, Scott Williams crashes the offensive boards for the stick-back. The J V Owls used tough board play and scrappy floor play to streak to a 17-8 season. Just over the outstretched arms of a Brother, Allen Haliiday lofts the jumper. However, it wasn ' t enough as CBHS pulled out a three-point win at home. •fir JV BASKETBALL 17-8 40 Overton 44 34 East 40 51 White Station 37 55 Millington 41 42 CBHS 48 61 Briarcrest 52 51 East 56 39 Overton (OT) 35 56 Bartlett 37 62 CoUierville 39 54 Harding 41 65 Kirby 25 48 CBHS 51 63 Germantown 50 49 Bartlett 40 45 CoUierville 43 60 Bishop Byrne 31 47 Harding 46 40 Kirby 45 59 Germantown (2 OT) 60 56 Bishop Byrne 34 50 White Station 38 67 Millington JV Tournament 40 47 White Station 30 51 CBHS 55 100 Sports BALANCED SCORING NETS WINS Nine Players Score in Double Figures During JV ' s 17-8 Season Burning and left the Red Devils in a 63-50 win, junior Paul Reaves (left) and sophomore Allen Halliday launch right- handed jumpers. 1983 JV BASKETBALL TEAM: First Row: Dede Malmo, Allen Halliday, Joel Sklar, Scott Williams, Tim Donovan.

After getting off to a slow 4-4 start, Coach Alston ' s JV Basketball team finished the season with a record of 17-8 and the second-place trophy from the East Memphis JV Classic. Averaging 1 points and 5 rebounds a game, Alex Bruce paced the Owls in the early going, especially in his 1 5-point performance against White Station. With 7 assists a game, Tim Wise played well enough to move up to Varsity during the Christmas holidays. After a three-week break over the Christmas holidays, other JV players started to sharpen their skills. Ted Simpson paced the Owls with 1 2 points and 7 rebounds in a 56-37 win at Bartlett. Scott Williams and Brent Turner had double figures in a 62-39 win against Collierville. Three different players broke into double figures in a 54-41 win at Harding, and four players combined for 48 points in a 65-25 thrashing of Kirby. The four-game win streak was broken at CBHS, where a taller, older Purple Wave squad edged the Owls by three. However, Brent Turner ' s 16-point, 6-rebound effort against Germantown put MUS back in the win column, 63-50. Allen Halliday ' s 1 1 points per game in the next four games were crucial to the team ' s second streak of the season. Paul Reaves ' last-second, 20-ft. fallaway jumper was needed on top of Halliday ' s 12 points against Collierville. Later in the season, Dede Malmo ' s unselfish play, 14 ppg. average, and 7 assists-per-game average helped the Owls in the four-game stretch. The finals of the East Memphis JV Classic pitted the Owls against CBHS, a team that had already beaten the Buzzards twice during the regular season. Despite superb second-half play during which the Owls controlled the boards and Brent Turner shot 7 for 7, the Owls lost by four points to come in second in the tournament. Ted Simpson ' s 1 1 -point, 11- rebound performance against CBHS earned him a spot on the All-Tournament team.

After their victory over CBHS, the Owls dropped a one-point game to Bishop Byrne, then came back with a brilliant defensive victory over CoUierville, only to lose to Germantown by 21 points, ending their pre-Christmas schedule. The team ' s performance after Christmas was no different, as they lost to Millington and Bishop Byrne on the road before having their best offensive show against Harding in which the Owls, led by Jim Kelley and David Chancellor, decimated the Lions by 21 points. This win was followed by the most disappointing loss of the season, which came against Briarcrest at home. The Owls played great team ball and, led by Paul Anderson off the bench, took the lead by one with seconds left, but their hopes were smashed as Greg Wilkinson, a former MUS student, made a desperation 40-footer at the buzzer to clinch the victory for the Saints. The Owls finished the season with a win over Harding and three straight losses to CoUierville, Millington, and Briarcrest. The Owls found little to celebrate as they were seeded eighth in a field of ten in the District Tournament. However, the team came out firing and demolished seventh-seeded Grace St. Luke ' s, 63-14. Characteristics of the team which had beat CBHS earlier in the year began to show. The Owls then proceeded to topple second-seeded Germantown and third- seeded Millington before falling to the favorite, Briarcrest. The Owls proved their ability to play with the best and gained the respect they deserved. Seeing an open lane upcourt, guard Jim Kelley breaks the Saint press in the District Championship game. Kelley came on strong in the second half of the season and broke into the starting lineup. Showing that he can handle the ball as well as score, David Chancellor drives against two Saint defenders in the District Tournament at Germantown. Ninth Basketball 103 50 CLOSE 4 Last-Second Losses Spoil Perfect Season The eighth-grade basketball team, under its new coach, Mr. Eddie Batey, ended the regular season with an excellent 1 3-3 record before dropping a nail-biter to St. Paul ' s in tournament play. The team ' s entire season was characterized by devastating victories and heartbreaking losses. The eighth-grade Owls lost four games this year, each by 1 point, (three of those in overtime or by last-second shots), but overshadowing the narrow losses were the overwhelming wins, as the Owls averaged a 23-point victory margin, stomping opponents into the ground. The most impressive games of the year were come-from-behind victories over St. Ann ' s Bartlett and arch-rival Briarcrest. The team found itself down by 12 at the end of the third quarter against a tenacious St. Ann ' s team. But in the final quarter the Owls outscored the opposition 16-4, utilizing a swarming 1-3-1 half-court trap to throw the game into overtime, where the team pulled out a 50-45 win. The other match-up was against a tough Saints ' team at Briarcrest. The Owls were looking for revenge after their last-second loss to the Saints earlier in the season and got it. The game was nip and tuck all the way, and with time running out, Briarcrest had a one-point lead. The Owls had possession though, and got the ball inside for the winning shot, with only three ticks left on the clock. Having split the Auburndale zone, Will Sharp pulls up for the short jumper. As Wade Harrison (55) looks on, Ben Bullen (25) goes up for a shot in the Owls ' 46-45 win at Briarcrest. 1983 8th GRADE BASKETBALL TEAM: First Row: Jody Scott, Todd Brown, Michael Blen, Alex Heros, Richard Hussey, Brian Browder, John Moore, Jason Hughes.

YOUNG VETERANS LEAD TEAM Experienced Underclassmen Dominate in Lower Weight Divisions The wrestling team opened its season with a mixture of youth and experience. Although there were no seniors on the squad, the lower weights on the team were filled by experienced wrestlers. Juniors Len Hardison, Brian Levinson, and Adam Kriger provided leadership. The team finished with a dual-match record of 5-7, but the team narrowly lost several matches: Bishop Byrne 27-28, Raleigh-Egypt 28-29, and Fairley 30-33. The young Owls wrestled well but didn ' t have the depth and strength to defeat the always-strong Millington and Christian Brothers teams. The victories came against SBEC, Harding, Elliston Baptist, Briarcrest, and Memphis Prep. The team placed 5th in the Bishop Byrne Tournament in early December. Len Hardison (105 lbs.) and Adam Kriger (119 lbs.), took 1st place in their weight classes. Cliff Goldmacher (98 lbs.), Brian Levinson (112 lbs.), and Chris Ledes (126 lbs.) took fourth-place finishes. At the Millington Tournament, the team placed 3rd with 9 wrestlers placing in their respective classes: Goldmacher, 3rd; Hardison, 2nd; Levinson, 2nd; Kriger, 1st; Ledes, 4th; Donald Austin (132 lbs.) 5th; and Greg McGowan (167 lbs.), 4th. In the Raleigh-Egypt Tournament, the team placed 6th with Hardison placing 2nd; Brian Levinson, 4th; Kriger, 3rd; and John Levinson, 3rd at 98 lbs. In the District Tournament at Millington, the team finished 4th with 6 wrestlers qualifying for the Regional Tournament. Hardison, Levinson, and Kriger placed first in their weight classes. Goldmacher, Ledes, and McGowan all placed third. In the Regional Tournament at SBEC, the team was shocked by the upset loss of District Champion Adam Kriger, but, even so, Kriger finished the season with a fine record of 25-2. Three wrestlers qualified for the State Tournament: Goldmacher placed 3rd; Hardison, 1st; and Levinson 2nd.

On any given weeknight we can usually be found at home foregoing commercial and cable TV as well as family life for what else but homework. As we have increased our knowledge, the school has increased the number of opportunities to use this knowledge: the computer program has been greatly expanded, MUS-CCTV has filmed speech students for the purpose of self-evaluation, and the library has increased its holdings to 18,317 volumes. In Academics, we have more than measured up. Reaching up to chalk-in yet another A on his well-known grade chart, Mr. Jerrold Omundson shows his second-period Chemistry class how their grades measure up to the other two classes ' grades. Academics 109 Buzzards With Beakers, Busily Beating Binomials The Science Department provides a varied curriculum. After semesters of Science in the seventh and eighth grade, the student takes Chemistry-Physics, a required subject. Then he can take Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or any combination of the three. The Math program represents a challenging but interesting set of courses: Algebra I and II, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Topics, and Statistics. These departments require a lot of work. The classes are fast, the homework loads are heavy, and the quizzes are frequent and challenging. Completing these programs makes one feel, however, that he has not wasted his time.

Math and Science 111 Literature, Labs, Linguistics, Lotsawords The English and Foreign Language Departments provide students with the necessary tools to communicate in the world. The English Department begins in the seventh grade to immerse the student in a comprehensive program that incorporates composition, literature, vocabulary, and grammar and usage. A strong department with diverse personalities in its teacher corps, the English Department introduces new skills at various stages (such as the term paper at tenth grade and the literature elective-program at grades eleven and twelve), but most of the time the student is refining, honing the old skills: reading and writing and thinking. The Foreign Language Department requires one year of Latin in eighth-grade to teach all students the basics of languages. From there, a student may choose the language he wants to take. Two years of a foreign language will be required of all students beginning with the Class of 1986. Latin, Spanish, and French are offered, and their format includes both grammar and literature. Tapes are used to help with pronunciation. After class, Mr. Norman Thompson reflects upon Britt Britton ' s commitment to high academic standards. While lecturing to his English Literature class, Mr. Hatchett emphasizes the importance of completing Thomas Wolfe research. 112 Academics Sitting in rapture, Todd Eckler listens to a French II language tape in the library.

An interesting tension, held in abeyance by a tradition of academic freedom, exists between the History and Religion Departments. Both departments offer courses which all students must take, and both departments offer courses as electives. The departments offer a perspective on why men do what they do and how it all began, albeit quite different perspectives. Both offer explanations and observations on human nature and man ' s origin, but their conclusions are different because they begin with a different set of assumptions. Following a required year of social studies in both seventh and eighth grades, the student can choose from courses such as Ancient and Medieval History, an elective for ninth graders, and Modern European History, an elective for tenth graders. He must take American history, usually in the eleventh grade. He may choose a history elective such as America and the World since 1939 or Cultural and Intellectual History of the United States during his senior year. Both the European and American history courses have Advanced Placement sections. The Bible Department requires a semester of Old Testament history in the seventh grade and a semester of New Testament survey in the ninth. In his junior or senior year the student must take a one-semester Bible elective such as Faith of Our Fathers or God in Human History. Hard tests and deep, deep, metaphysical-theological- cosmological lectures and discussions mark Mr. Michael Osborne ' s God in Human History Bible elective. Ask Roy Walters and David Elkin, front-row students. While Mr. John Cady lectures in Faith of Our Fathers, a Bible elective for juniors and seniors, Chapman Dewey diligently takes copious notes. Every graduate is required to take a one-semester Bible elective during his junior or senior year. Bronze-skinned, good serve and volley, Ph.D. from U.Va. in history, Dr. Lee Marshall surveys his American history elective group and finds them wanting. History, Religion 1 1 5 Time out in Art class for a bite of a chicken- salad sandwich for Kevin Parker as Joel Kaye looks on hungrily. 116 Academics I FINE ARTS Music, Theater, Painting — The Arts Are Alive and Well A Fine Arts credit is necessary for graduation. The student may earn his credit in one of the following ways: by taking the Humanities class taught by Mr. Jim Russell, by taking an Applied Art course taught by Mr. Peter Bowman, by taking the Choral Music class taught by Mr. Anthony Williams, or by taking the MUS-in-England trip during the summer. The Fine Arts program also encompasses the Theater Arts under the direction of Mr. Andy Saunders. Major roles, minor roles, set-building and stage- crew opportunities, and light-crew and sound-crew responsibilities were offered students in productions of Take Her, She ' s Mine, Oliver, Hello Dolly, and Love Isn ' t in the Dictionary, a play put together by Mr. Saunders from poems, epigrams, jokes, and play-cuttings which dealt with the subject of love. At a spring competition at Lambuth College, Love Isn ' t in the Dictionary won best one-act play, and the reader ' s theater entry of a Ray Bradbury short story won first place. The choral music groups, directed by Mr. Williams, sang in chapel several times and presented an excellent Christmas program. The Ensemble, the competition- level group within the larger Mixed Choir, received the highest rating possible, a 1, at Bethel College. About 40 chorus members took the spring tour, which included stops in Florida and Alabama (singing at private schools in Montgomery and Mobile) and some extracurricular time along the Gulf Coast at Navarre Beach. A fall chapel program is presented by the Mixed Choir under Mr. Williams ' direction. With accompanist Mrs. Jo Bradley playing, the choir practices toward the proverbial perfect. Bent over his latest art project, Lon Magness hopes to finish by the end of the period. Fine Arts II 7 ita KLKCTIVES Free to Choose At one time or another a student will be able to choose a class that he would like to take. His choices range from Mechanical Drawing to Speech to Typing. Many students may find themselves trying to choose the easiest class available. This technique, however, rarely works. All electives require hard work. Another method of choosing a class is to look for the co-ed classes. These classes may be more enjoyable and the distractions more interesting than single- sex classes, but usually there is no guarantee of girls in an elective class (except those classes at Hutchison). As a rule, the best way to choose an elective is to pick a subject that is enjoyable. Whereas anybody can take Humanities or a history elective, only students who enjoy studying these subjects will do really well. Electives, if well- chosen, can help one ' s grade average and teach a student something that he wants to learn. They can help a student measure up to his own goals.

They are struck by the quiet, and they notice the wooden arches overhead at regular intervals down the hail. After soaking all this in, an uneasy feeling rises in their stomachs, a feeling reinforced by the echo of Gregorian Chants coming from Mr. Russell ' s Humanities class and most importantly by the lack of girls. The wife turns to her husband and whispers in a horrified tone, Oh my God! Harry, it ' s a monastery! Hearing this, Father Bob Boelte indicates in a flustered manner that such is not the case. Being a boys ' college-preparatory school, MUS does not in fact have girls enrolled. However, just as Japan imports oil. West Germany nuclear missiles, Frayser toxic waste, and Collierville grit, we import girls from Hutchison, via the MUS-Hutch driveway. Although Lower Schoolers and most underclassmen do not get the opportunity to take co-ed classes, many juniors and seniors do. With co-ed classes like Choral Music, Psychology, Chemistry, Humanities, and Art, upperclassmen do not find it difficult to get into at least one girl-occupied class. Overall, co-ed classes provide students with a stimulating alternative to the mundane all-male classes. The attraction of these classes is obvious. Why stare at Wallabees when one can feast his eyes on luscious legs? A group of Hutchison girls practice for one of several productions to be presented during Friday chapel by the Hutchison Glee Club. In contrast with Horace Tipton, Bruce Bass (the girl) and Tip Tipton don ' t look pleased with their grades on a Humanities quiz. During Take Her, She ' s Mine play practice, Kit Crighton and Rufus Jones take a break. 120 Academics Putting their heads together to solve one of Mr. Jerry Omundson ' s chemistry problems is rather pleasant for Evans Jack and Kirsten Ball. The Owl photographer captures the essence of Choral Music class and its, how do you say, social interaction. Co-Ed 121 National Honor Society students Stewart Waller and Edward Felsenthal use a seventh-period Friday free period to complete applied problems due at the end of the day for Mrs. Christa Warner ' s Accelerated Precalculus class. Ultimate frisbee is the free-period activity of choice for David Jackson on a beautiful fall day. The proper technique for totally wasting a free fifty-five minutes is demonstrated by a snoozing Mike Armstrong. If his grades fall, however, he may find himself with a supervised study session (or S3) rather than a free period. 1 22 Academics FREE PERIODS To Study or Not to Study — That Is the Question When a student enters the ninth grade, he faces the problem of what to do with his free periods. He can plumb the dark depths of the lounge with coke in hand and Rock 103 blasting, or he can vainly attempt to study in a library with talkative people in the reference well who inspire calls of Boys! , or he can go to the foyer or another quiet corner and be abused by people on their way to the lounge. Most students end up in the lounge unless homework is due. There they vegetate or attempt to write a 500-word theme in 55 minutes. Eventually most students strike a balance between the easy life of the lounge and the harder life of homework. After the balance is struck and a kind of equilibrium is achieved, students jealously guard their free period. Of course, to do homework or not to do homework is not always the question. Free periods are used to work on club and organization activities. Signs are painted and skits are practiced. When he is a senior, the student may use his free period to go to lunch early. Some free periods should be wasted; most should not. Learning to budget his free time helps the student measure up to what is expected of him. Surrounded by the wisdom of the ages in the Hyde Library, Rufus Jones prefers the quintessential maxims of the comic-strip Nancy. With the sunshine streaming through the window of the student lounge, Leo Beale uses his free period productively — keeping David Ford from getting any school work done. Free Periods 1 23 Camputer EciEncE Old Labs Become Apple Orchards The computer science program is growing. Twelve new computers were added to the school collection (complete with monitors, disk drives, and two computer printers). The old science wing was remodeled during the summer to house the new computer-science classroom and a computer lab. With the new computer room came a new required class. The Administration did away with the old Health class and made Computer Science (the renamed Computer Math course) something which all freshmen must take. Many close computer-freshmen relationships have developed. Students who are computer- literate are better prepared to compete in the business or professional world than others who are not. Mr. Tom Brown teaches Computer Science I and a Computer Science II course for those students who wish to continue their computer training. A night course has been offered to parents over the past two years with great results. The summer program offers Computer Science. Last summer the class filled up before registration. Many upperclassmen who were not required to take Computer Science elected to take it since they see the need to learn about computers. A line of summer-school students and their computer terminals are under the constant vigil of Mr. Tom Brown. Computer courses — summer, regular school year, or night classes — are extremely popular. As the Computer Science Room was being built, the garbage came out. 1 24 Academics The new Computer Science room with its twelve new computers, a classroom, and a computer lab.

Computer Science 1 25 CHANGE Lower School Provides Transition The Hull Lower School is an integral part of Memphis University School, providing a necessary transition for elementary-school students coming into high school. Although seventh and eighth graders moan about not having enough freedom, even they will acknowledge that as Lower School students, they are given more respect from their teachers than they received in elementary school. Some have questioned the Lower School-Upper School system, saying that the Lower-Schoolers are too far removed from MUS life, but without the Lower School, students wouldn ' t be as responsible and productive as they are. It is true that Lower-Schoolers have study halls instead of free periods, assemblies instead of organizational periods, and a limited sports program as opposed to the myriad of athletic opportunities open to Upper- Schoolers, but most thirteen- and fourteen-year-olds are too young to properly handle the vast freedom of the Upper School. The Lower School produces those boys that make MUS successful. When a student arrives in the Upper School, he has developed good study habits and can be entrusted with much greater responsibility, because of the outstanding basis the Lower School has given him. Taking their places in front of a Lower School assembly, Mr. Bob Stinnett and Mr. Earle Hillman, sponsors of the Lower School magazine drive, join Mr. John Springfield and a dormant Donald Smith to listen to an announcement from Mr. Chip Denton. Wasting some free time in the snack corner, Craig Nadel breaks into a silent guitar solo while Matt Yarbrough poses for the photographer and Matt Stebner practices an emotional oration. 126 Academics Mentor, counselor, and friend of the Lower School students, Mr. John Springfield spends a quiet moment in his office running the everyday business of the Lower School.

Because of our varied interests, the twenty-seven organizations on campus have made strides in largely different areas. For example, the Student Council successfully pulled off the first joint MUS-Hutchison Talent Show, the Government Club co-sponsored the second Mid-South Model United Nations with Southwestern, the Civic Service Club raised $ 1 200 during Charity Week, and the Owl ' s Hoot won prestigious journalistic awards. These organizations, by the way, are totally student-operated. Because of our enthusiastic involvement, school Organizations have more than measured up. Before Val-o-grams are sent to Hutchison and St. Mary ' s, they must be checked to see whether they measure up to standards of good taste and decorum. Some have to be censored (note the bottle of white-out on the table) by a Student Council committee of Trey Jordan, Bob McEwan, Richard Greenwald, and Andy seessel.

The Student Council, under the leadership of Richard Greenwald, worked extremely hard all year providing the students with activities and services that many take for granted from year to year and with several activities and services that were brand new. Beginning with new-student orientation and with car washes that began before the regular school year, the Council initiated its working year. The fall saw a watermelon feed, Homecoming Week, a Victory Dance following the Homecoming win. The Pink Panther, the Fall Fest. Winter saw Basketball Homecoming (with skit), a Saturday night Talent Show, Student Exchange Day, Charity Week (co-sponsored with the Civic Service Club), Val-o-grams to and from Hutchison and St. Mary ' s, and Psycho. Finally, the Spring Formal was the biggest and best yet as the Student Council pulled out all stops to make it a night to remember at Mud Island with hors d ' oeuvres and the band Portrait. Slicing up a good cold watermelon at the Student Council ' s back-to-school watermelon feed are president Richard Greenwald and Trey Jordan, Commissioner of Social Events.

The Honor System does more than discourage dishonest activity — it molds the student ' s ch. acter. If a student goes to school in an environment where lying, cheating, and stealing are forbidden, he will learn to be honest and to frown on these dishonorable activities. Although it would be ideal if no one committed an honor violation, in reality lying, cheating, and stealing do occur. However, over the past few years the number of violations has decreased significantly. The members of the Council are not different from any other students; they are not members of a special police force that goes out looking for violators of the honor code. When violations are reported to the Council, its members try to handle each case fairly by judging it on its own merits; thus each case is judged independently so that a just decision is made. If the Honor Council is to function properly, students must support it by turning in any violations. The new teacher liaison system has assured absolute confidence in the secrecy of the reporting, and thus, the honor system has been improved. Changes for the better must start with the students; this is the only way that the system can ever improve. I have been impressed with this year ' s representatives, and as long as the student body elects Honor Council members as competent as this year ' s, the honor system will work well. I believe this year ' s Honor Council has been the best ever, and I commend the student body for its full support of the honor system.

Les Coqs (the Cocks) members held Wednesday afternoon meetings to play Monopoley, Mi lie Borne, Metro, and other games. Sponsor Dr. Reginald Dalle helped throughout the year. This Spanish Club, led by co-presidents Rick Fogleman and Oakleigh McKelvy, sponsored a dinner at Los Amigos restaurant and thirty-five members (third-year MUS students and second and third-year Hutchison students) attended. In January the club also sponsored Spirit Week by celebrating Sombrero Day, Gapas de Sol (sunglasses) Day, and Rojo y Amarillo (Red and Yellow — Spanish flag) Day. The week culminated with Fiesta Day ' s 10 pizzas which members ate con mucho gusto during Spanish Class on Thursday. The Latin Club, led by President William Wadsworth, has also sought to promote its language and culture. The club, with help from Sponsor Mr. Greg Carmack, also held a pizza party at school. In addition, members helped host the Tennessee Junior Classical League ' s State Tournament, held at MUS this year.

BUILDING THE THEME Yearbook Decides If School ' ' Measures Up Early in the summer of 1982, Mr. Ellis Haguewood, faculty advisor to the yearbook, suggested to the upcoming editor. Chapman Dewey, that he base his theme on the school ' s once-in-a-decade evaluation by the Visiting Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; this event would surely distinguish the 1982-1983 school year from the rest. After several summer meetings, the theme of Measuring Up was agreed upon; the yearbook would measure every aspect of the school just as the Visiting Committee would do. Because they wanted the structure of the yearbook to strictly adhere to the theme of Measuring Up, Haguewood and Dewey found it necessary to make several changes in the book. The seasonal approach of previous years was dropped so that Sports and Student Life could be more accessible and capable of being evaluated separately. Since it had been largely ignored at the end of the seventh- grade section, the Memphis section was incorporated with the newly formed Student Life section. Other innovations included the expansion of the Opening and Closing Sections and the division of the people sections — Faculty? Seniors, Underclassmen. These changes made the yearbook pages more organized than ever before. With the sharper distinctions between different sections of the yearbook, it was now possible to clearly measure up each area of school life on its own merits and faults. It was now possible for the yearbook itself to measure up to its goals. Yearbook 137 mt (§mVB H00t The Owl ' s Hoot serves it up right.

The key to expansion was the financing of the newspaper, spearheaded by Business Manager Andy Seessel. Under Seessel, the newspaper was able to raise over $2500 for the newspaper to expand its operation. Well-written features by editors Jimmy Ringel, Kevin Isom, Edward Felsenthal, Jeff Hirsch, and Jeff Siewert allowed the newspaper to cover all facets of school life. Features this year included an in-depth report on the use of tobacco by students, an overview of the political races prior to election day, sports interviews with athletes and opposing coaches, interviews with Rollin Riggs, Bear Bryant, and the Doors Club, and a feature on snow skiing. Standard columns added this year include a cartoon, Flashback: MUS, Snyde Remarks, Fort ' s Forecasts, and the Strategy of the Month. This year the paper has been delivered to students at St. Mary ' s and Hutchison, as well as to our own students. One of the Owl ' s Hoot ' s biggest stories of the year was the Bear Bryant interview.

Student crews taped all football home games and many home basketball games. Students put together a videotape of student performances for viewing on the Easter Seals telethon. A walking tour of the library was taped for one of the visiting headmasters on the Southern Association Accreditation committee so that he could show his board members and faculty how one of the best libraries in the state functions. Finally, student workers played out and monitored a heavy load of taped programs for use in classroom instruction. The MUSe, under the direction of Chris Ledes and assistants Jeff Siewert and Doug Rockett, offered a selection of the best in student fiction, line drawings, photography, and poetry.

Late nights of grading tests, free periods spent trying to explain a single concept, weekends wasted reporting quarter grades — these are the moments which test a faculty member ' s ability and dedication to his job. With an average of ten years ' teaching experience, each professor has undergone and conquered these moments of crisis. Four out of five faculty members have earned a master ' s degree in their academic field. Because of every teacher ' s high level of competence, the Faculty has more than measured up. Asked by a frustrated biology student how long the upcoming test will take, Coach Bill Taylor ' s response is Oh, about this long. Over the years, Mr. Taylor has successfully initiated his students into a new world of phrases and gestures. Faculty 155 ADMINISTRATION Mr. D. Eugene Thorn Headmaster. Mr. Leigh W.

Springfield Principal of the Lower School; Math 8; Algebra I (Accelerated). Head for the Mountains Two of the more experienced hikers in the school, Mr. Leigh MacQueen and Mr. John Springfield, have hiked in the Smoky Mountains on the Appalachian Trail for the past few summers. Last summer Mr. MacQueen ' s son, Robert, joined the group in the conquest of part of the trail. In a period of four days and three nights, the trio legged a total of forty miles, starting from Neel ' s Gap on Blood Mountain. Gatorade quenched the men ' s thirsts, but the group had to make sacrifices in their meals. For breakfast they had fruit juice and coffee; lunch consisted mostly of cheese and meat sticks. Dinner was made up of deliciously prepared freeze-dried food. After the trip to Springer Mountain, the outdoorsmen took a one-day rafting excursion down the Nantahala River in Wenser, North Carolina. The rapids near the end of the river made the trip enjoyable and exciting. For Mr. MacQueen and Mr. Springfield, these trips relieve the day-to-day pressures of school life. Both men plan similar trips in the future. Until the present time, bothmen have faced the elements and defeated nature at her own game. After a long day ' s hike, Mr. John Springfield and Robert MacQueen admire the beauty of their surroundings. 156 Faculty k FACULTY Computers are now a part of every ninth-grader ' s life.

Hard work and a love for the theater have pro- duced hits each season. Many hours of hard work are spent by Mr. Saunders in producing a play. Auditions take from two to three days. The rehearsals that follow last six weeks, and sets may take one hundred hours to build. Mr. Saunders loves the theater for many reasons. He en- joys the challenge of taking unrelated people and bringing them together to achieve an important goal. He finds perfor- ming a constructive way to get attention and a creative form of self-expression. Welcoming her class with a pop quiz, Mrs. Christa Warner expects her students graph the functions in two minutes. 160 Faculty linth-grade English students of Mr. Norman Thompson learn to concentrate on mpossible weekly vocabulary tests as they enjoy his sly wit, humor, and annoying )ird calls. Thanks f Coach! ' Coach, could you explain this question to me? Uh, OK. You ' re on a, uh, deserted island . . . with a cow . . . uh, with some wheat. Now, you should either drink the cow ' s milk and eat the wheat, feed the wheat to the cow and eat the cow; uh, eat the wheat and the cow; or feed the wheat to the cow, drink the cow ' s milk, and eat the cow. Coach, that clears it up a lot. Thanks. Coach Bill father of Robespierre Taylor ' s biology class is a year of fun-filled activities. After taking loads of light notes in class, his weary students exclaim, This is a good stopping point, Coach. Coach Taylor nods and assigns the self-check problems which will be checked the next day. The highlight of the year is the dreaded fruit fly lab, where students are required to mate all types of flies. But, let ' s not forget dissection of immobile baby pigs. Coach Taylor forces his students to identify the pig ' s organs — with the help of the charts on the wall, of course. When asked to give insight into his testing methods.

MAINTENANCE STAFF Changing of the Guard After twenty-four years of hard work and devotion, Willie Taylor retired last fall for health reasons. Over the years, he worked as custodian, bus driver, dietician, and kitchen worker. The Student Council honored Willie on September 15, which was called Willie Taylor Appreciation Day and presented a plaque and a check for $1 50. The Alumni Association, represented by Billy Loeb, also gave him a check. As Mr. Thorn said, The most amazing thing about him was — and is — his unwavering devotion and loyalty to the school. Alumnus Billy Loeb, Mr. Eugene Thorn, and Student Council President Richard Greenwald honor Willie Taylor in Hyde Chapel. THE MAINTENANCE CREW: Edmond Collins, Percy Richardson, Robert Watson, and Captain Robert Davis. Contrary to what appears. Captain Robert Davis is not responsible for cafeteria deliveries but instead is responsible for the upkeep of the school grounds. T H| Over the Christmas holidays, Edmond Collins cleaned the collected books, shoes, and papers from the top of the air-conditioning vents in each classroom — a feat impossible without a ladder. Staff 163 TEACHER9 ARE PEOPLE, TOO Many students have the misconception that teachers exist only in the classroom, nowhere else. They don ' t go out to eat, sleep, or party. They just prepare boring lectures and impossible tests. Therefore, students are always surprised when they see a teacher in public. However, teachers not only go out, but they also have hobbies like other people. You probably did not know that 1) Mr. Thorn plays tennis and likes to listen to clas sical music; 2) Mr. Russell sings in the choir at St. George ' s Episcopal Church; 3) Dr. Dalle is part owner of the French pastry shop La Baguette; 4) Dr. Marshall is the tennis pro at Chickasaw Country Club in the summer; 5) Mr. Cady is an avid quail hunter; 6) and that Mr. Haguewood is a coach for his son ' s basketball team.

Teacher- People 165 — V - .0 1 6 1 College application deadlines, class meetings, graduation — these are the concerns which test a senior ' s response to pressure and change. The prospect of leaving our school for good has inspired each senior to leave his own mark on the school. The class has left its mark in Academics: there are seniors with an eighty average (low B ) who have found themselves in the third grading-quartile. The class has left its mark in Character: coming through with the traditional class gift to the school, the seniors donated a much-needed case for the numerous school plaques which had overwhelmed their original space. The class has left its mark in Athletics: while acting as a reliable scoring source, the seniors also provided our sports teams with backbone and leadership. The class of 1983 has more than measured up. While being measured by Mrs. Christa Warner for his senior mortarboard, Kenny Byrd looks forward to receiving his diploma in the May 1 5 graduation ceremony. Seniors 167 SENIOR CLASS 1983 1 .

SENIOR INVOLVEMENT AROUND TOWN The Senior Class has significantly enriched the school and the community through its diverse accomplishments. The Class of 83 has been involved in many intramural and community-wide activities. Trey Jordan organized the Furies baseball team, which was so successful that it expanded into basketball as well. Seniors played on community basketball teams, including those at the Second Presbyterian Church and the Jewish Community Center. Trevor Rosenthal, an accomplished gymnast, has won numerous medals and honors in multiple gymnastic competitions, culminating this past summer in his seventh-place finish in the National Junior Olympics. Scouting veterans Porter Feild, Chip Tipton, David Williams, Kenny Byrd, and Posey Hedges have achieved the highest scouting rank possible — Eagle Scout. Other seniors have devoted much of their time to after-school jobs. Marshall Odeen, David Moore, and Lane Watson have spent many hours each week working at Seessel ' s, and David Knodel has been working hard at Walgreen ' s. The Senior Class has a number of students interested in rock music. The Extraneous Roots, composed of seniors Glynn Alexander, Brian Sullivan, Jeff Siewert, and Posey Hedges, have performed at various school functions, including the Fall Fest. Posey also has performed in The Fingers, a band which has appeared at several area clubs. The hardy spirit and the remarkable accomplishments of the Class of ' 83 have made this year a memorable one for all students. Making lucrative use of a weekday afternoon, a weary Lane Watson satisfies yet another Seessel ' s customer. Seniors 169 DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN . . mmm . .

Mr. A. Robert Boelte can do a lot toward getting someone into college, but it does take a little self-initiative. Below are four hints which will guarantee acceptance into any top-rate school in the nation. Personal Interview. Let ' s face it, most people are pretty boring. Therefore, the worst advice is to be yourself. In order to avoid this mistake, either do not be yourself or have someone else be yourself for you. Take Tylenol capsules to relieve pre-interview tension and to decrease inhibition. Also, wear a tux and send up a bottle of champagne to your interviewer to announce your arrival. The best option is to hire someone to go in your place. Hire a friend or acquaintance who has a better personality than you do, or look in the yellow pages under Substitutes — Personal Interviews. Remember, if you do hire a substitute, place his picture on the application, not your own. Teacher Recommendations. Instead of choosing the teachers of your favorite subjects, pick the professor you have brown-nosed the most over the last four years. Two weeks prior to asking him, really lay on the compliments. Wash his car, clothes, pets, and kids. Invite him to your house to watch HBO movies. Most importantly, slip a crisp ten into each recommendation form. Guidance Counselor ' s Report. There you are in Coach Boelte ' s hands. Be sure that you hand in your autobiography on time so that Mr. Boelte will not dislike you from the beginning. Even though Mr. Boelte does not like it, hand in the Guidance Counselor ' s Report shortly before it is due. This way, Mr. Boelte will be in a rush and will only be able to write about your good points, if you have any. It is also a good idea to accidentally attach a ten to the form prior to turning it in. Your Application. Instead of typing or printing the application, cut letters out of books, magazines and newspapers to spell out your words. Not only is it original, but it also connotes that if you are not accepted, something bad will happen to the college. Turning your application in late indicates that you are not a brown-noser and that you have confidence in yourself. In summary, getting into college takes originality, confidence, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and creativity, combined with a strong monetary background. During a very occupied free period. Fort Denton discusses his future college career with Mr. Boelte, Fort ' s favorite college counselor.

Fabian ' s Sub Shop on Poplar has long been a gathering place for hungry seniors. SENIOR NIRVANA — EATING OUT One of the all-important senior privileges is going out to lunch once a week during the first semester and twice a week during the second semester. Though some seniors are accused of abusing this privilege by using it too frequently, the abuse is actually an act of benevolence on their part, for they leave behind more of Mrs. Lenti ' s Mean Cuisine for the rest of the school. These benevolent seniors have a good variety of eating establishments to choose from. Within easy striking range are McDonald ' s, Wendy ' s, and Pizza Hut, restaurants where one may purchase a cheap lunch (yes, cheap is a pun). However, for the senior who has more refined taste and who does not care about his senior-exemption tardy count, Garibaldi ' s, in the Memphis State area, is the place for good food and good atmosphere. For the senior who is broke, there is still another opportunity — he can go to the Racquet Club and charge a four- course banquet to his dad ' s membership number, or, if he wants to have fun, charge it to his shoe or waist size. But since most seniors love the camaraderie of their classmates, the Super Sub Club is the only viable option. Members of this club, one of the oldest and most respected organizations, frequent Fabian ' s (known as the Super Sub Shop before the rating dropped). Though active participation has dwindled somewhat since pinball gambling was outlawed, the club still enjoys the support of most of the Senior Class. 174 Seniors David Charles Knodel National Merit Semi-Finalist 12; Cum Laude Society 11, 12 Mu Alpha Theta 11, 1 2; Dean ' s Scholar 9, 10; Dean ' s List 11 Pep Band 9, 10, 11, 12, Pres. 12; House Manager 10, 11, 12: French Club 10; Backgammon Club 10, 1 1; Chess Club 9, 10, 11, 12; Fencing Club 10,11, 12.

Seniors 175 18: A YEAR OF CHANGE AND TRANSITION For the average (non-accelerated and non-decelerated) person, the age of 1 8 years occurs during his senior year. For those underclassmen who do not understand the meaning of this statement, being 18 means having survived ages 1-17 successfully. Another definition of age 18 is the fun-filled hiatus lasting from the 6570th day to the 6935th day of one ' s life. Although people often call 18 a year of preparation, transition, and change, this characterization is only true if the person who is 18 wants to prepare, transit, or change. He may not want to, considering that the privileges and responsibilities which the 1 8-year-old receives are varied and confusing. In order to help clear up the chaos, the Senior Section of the yearbook felt it was time to enumerate the rights and duties connected with this all-important age. First, the sober part of being 18. Uncle Sam strongly encourages all men this age to drive down (driving is a 16- year-old privilege) to the neighborhood Post Office and register for the next war.

Furthermore, if one of these men tries to skip town rather than register, he is treated not as a juvenile delinquent but as a full- blown adult criminal. Worse yet, if this adult is caught and busted, he may very well lose his newly gained right to vote in official elections. However, certain seniors may choose to exercise other privileges more often. Although it says in the ratings box of the movie section that one may watch an R- rated movie upon attaining the age of 17, this delight is mysteriously forbidden until one turns 18, an age at which one can more properly understand the true, deeper meaning of obscenity. Also gained at this time is the right to use tobacco, smoke or smokeless, and the right to grow malignant tumors. One more barrier must be broken before a senior can consider himself a man of the world. A couple of years ago, the legal drinking age was raised from 1 8 to 19 by the Tennessee State Legislature. Even now, there is talk that the minimum age might even be raised to 21 by year ' s end. At this rate, the Senior Class will always be a year behind the game. In the first step of draft registration, Scott King shows his driver ' s license to an official postman. 176 Seniors In the annual Turkey Bowl, the seniors rehuddle in a vain attempt to beat the cold and the faculty.

With a look of relaxed satisfaction, Andrew Shainberg evidently has had his time at Mud Island.

THE ACT ADVENTURE To become an official senior, one must take the king of the ridiculous college entrance tests, the ACT. The alternative is to forgo senior privileges and sit in the back of the chapel next to Mr. MacQueen. A preliminary computer sheet must be turned in to ACT before the test. Besides asking the usual questions, ACT inquires about one ' s personal likes and dislikes. One example is Would you rather eat Jello or get into a fight with your father? Then, these questions are used to predict one ' s future occupatio n. Unfortunately, the ACT accuracy rate is quite low. For instance, seniors interested in business, medical school, law, or engineering are advised to enter farm technology (not surprising, since the ACT main office is in a wheat field near Iowa City, Iowa). Finally, the test comes. After rushing home Friday night to get two or three hours of sleep, the testees are herded into the proper testing rooms (determined by ABC order). Once inside, the testees are bombarded with four different subject areas, including mathematics (assorted brand), minority English, Black history, and fifth-grade science. After finishing the four-hour marathon test, one can look forward to his scores. Also, stacks of mail will arrive third-class from special colleges (those colleges without sports teams, without grades, or without a permanent campus, or with prefabricated sheet-metal classrooms). Already on the road to disaster. Richard Jung uses a pen to complete the ACT Student Profile Section. 178 Seniors Before the beginning of a home basketball game, Mac McCarroll chows down on a hamburger as Danny Donovan rakes in the dough.

From taking the entrance exam in the seventh grade to getting the class ring in the eleventh grade, the underclassman matures into a well-rounded MUS ' er. He endures Saturday Schools, term papers, and noodle goo; he enjoys Grub Days, library passes, and the student lounge. He supports the school at football games, dances, and academic contests; he has always more than measured up to what the school expects of him. Putting his chin over the bar one last time, underclassman Mark Hamer gets his fifteenth pull-up for the PE Physical Fitness Test. Underclassmen 183 Buying the Class Ring: An Experience to Remember At the beginning of every fall the Balfour Company executives can be seen licking their lips and rubbing their hands together. Visions of windfall profits and 100 gullible juniors dance in their eyes. Yes, you guessed it, it is class ring time. The Balfourians push the juniors through the ring maze by using a combination of brute force and mind- altering tactics. First, the class is assaulted with a message that an organizational period is going to be wasted at a class meeting. Once locked inside the Lecture Room, class members are bombarded by terms such as Quasar Plus, Celestrium, and Golden Saddle. Still dazed by this onslaught, the majority of the juniors readily complete the order blanks thrown in front of them. Next, the Balfourians torture their followers by requiring them to wear a series of successively smaller blue rings until their ring fingers also turn blue and drop off. After this abuse, juniors are willing to extort from tjjeir parents any amount of money, the average being $200.

The one-semester JER serves several purposes: a general grammar review, adequate preparation for standardized tests, and a sound footing for future elective courses. First, JER reviews the basic grammar that the student should have picked up in ninth and tenth grades. He is expected to know (or relearn) the parts of speech, sentence structure, and paragraph form. Then, drawing upon this knowledge, the hapless junior is required to write several essays, including his senior autobiography. Second, this course teaches the student how to take standardized tests (ACT and SAT) and do well on them. Through having to learn basic grammar as well as memorize the definitions of ninety words a week, he is well-prepared to succeed on the English portion of these tests. To ensure that the student will be at home when taking these tests, the instructor gives out worksheets very similar to the tests themselves. Finally, JER clears the way for a student to begin taking English electives. After the foundations of the student ' s knowledge of English are strengthened by JER, the student is encouraged to choose from a list of several diverse literature courses. Utilizing his newly learned vocabulary lingo for the first time, Frank Watson attempts to read an important Rider College send-off form on the college bulletin board. 188 Underclassmen Chris Trapp Ed Triplett Walker Upshaw Bobby Wade Robert Wallace Stewart Waller Roy Walters Brian Warner Frank Watson Angus Webber Russell Whitaker John Willmott Cliff Winnig Charles Yukon Frantic efforts to learn the JER weekly vocabulary words are a common sight on Friday mornings.

Because this is the student ' s first extensive paper, however, his English teacher composes a schedule of easy-to- follow, ordered steps so that the student will know exactly what is expected of him at each juncture and when it is expected. This list of tasks is relatively simple. First, the student chooses his topic and discusses his proposed theme with his English professor. Several weeks later, the student ' s bibliography and note cards are graded for proper form and accuracy. Then, after his rough draft is completely transformed by the teacher, the student starts his official version, usually the night before the last due date on the schedule. After a sleepless night, the student usually has two-thirds to three-fourths of his ink version completed. After his request for a time extension is utterly rejected, he manages to secretly work on his paper in every class the remainder of the day. Then, by the last period of the day, the sophomore feels a sigh of relief as he turns in the first of a long line of masterpieces. Spending his free period wisely, sophomore Salil Parikh taps the hidden resources of his mind while reading background material for his term paper in the quiet atmosphere of the foyer.

Most students turn 15 sometime during their sophomore year, and thus qualify to take Drivers ' Education. This course, which counts as an elective, is led by Mr. and Mrs. Shannon Pitner, veritable veterans of the road. The course activities include listening to various speakers, watching gory films, and, finally, driving a plush Pitnermobile. After speakers like Mr. Goodwrench and films like Signal 30, the student is eager to go cruising. After learning the rules of the road from his instructors, the student is ready to attain the big goal: his very own driver ' s license. This fine machine proudly bears the Pitner Seal of Approval awarded by several sophomores when they could not locate a Purple Heart.

In past years all freshmen were advised by Mr. Tom Brown not to take Computer Math until at least their junior year. However, ninth graders are now required to take a semester of Computer Science instead of the previously mandatory Health, taught by Coach Don Walker. The change is a result of the faculty ' s belief that since much of our future will revolve around computers, a working knowledge of them is a necessity. However, one significant disadvantage of the change is that these computer- key punchers will leave high school without experiencing Coach Walker ' s health class. There will be no more stories illustrating important health concepts or arousing showings of the XXX-rated Ingrid and Eric, a film which has corrupted the minds of innocent freshmen for years.

An aspiring Tarzan, Edward Patterson prepares to swing through the trees on the Senior-Freshman Retreat, an event which sobers up freshmen to the fact that they are no longer kings of the hill (the Lower School). The Student Lounge: Ultimate Freshman Achievement After two years of peering into the McFadden Commoner Room from the lower-school lunch line, the freshman can finally enter the realm of the snack food junkies and Rock 103 fanatics. Here he can encounter the trademark adhesive floors and cluttered tables omnipresent in the student lounge. Wading through the candy wrappers that missed the trash buckets, the awed freshman soon realizes the lounge ' s future possibilities: over a thousand hours of cranking it up with Rock 103 and getting fat from a surfeit of Milky Ways and Honey Buns. Whereas once he had to spend a free period in Lower-School study hall passing notes or whispering the latest gossip, the freshman can now openly waste his free period in the lounge either sleeping or conversing with friends. Now that freshman initiation has been shelved, the lounge has become a safe, fun place for a freshman to go every day of the year. With Pepsi in hand. Wesley Grace restrains his laughter upon seeing Richard Morrow and Andy McArtor trying to study in the raucous atmosphere of the student lounge. After a few months, these two will learn, as Grace already has, that studying to Rock 103 in the lounge is an impossible task.

Since Lower School is a training ground for the Upper School, the professor usually feels that strict retribution is essential to the offender ' s future. In a unique environment, such as that of Lower School, unique forms of punishment are required in an attempt to refine the Lower Schoolers ' attitudes and actions. The most frequent form of disciplinary action levied for minor offenses is the copying of George Washington ' s Rules of Civility. The Rules is a lengthy treatise on proper conduct, written in the original dialect of a colonial American; this document is typed on a single-spaced page of typing paper. The number of Rules assigned to the offender is usually proportional to the seriousness of his crime. Severe misbehavior may result in his spending an hour after school helping to beautify the Lower School by picking up small bits and pieces of paper and other minutiae which have accumulated throughout the day. However, the worst aspect of this punishment is having to tell one ' s parents to run the carpool an hour later than usual. Very severe misbehavior may result in a visit to the Lower School office for an encounter with Mr. John Springfield, principal of Lower School and a stern disciplinarian. As a last resort, the habitual offender may need to be straightened out by Mr. Springfield and his friend in the projector room. In the Lower School gym, captives await execution by firing squad for breaking into the lunch line. Lower School administrators have always believed in assigning punishments proportionate to the severity of a student ' s offense.

In this class, Lower Schoolers learn the basics of the living language — vocabulary, cases (nominative, genitive, etc.), tenses, and simple grammar. More importantly, however, Latin 1, as the student ' s first high-school credit, gives eighth graders an introduction to the workings of the Upper School. Although introductory Latin is mandatory, many students find it rewarding, and some even go on to take Latin II and III. Through the Latin program, students participate in the Latin club, the annual Roman banquet, and the state Latin Tournament, a highlight of the year. Because of the vast opportunities the class provides, eighth-grade Latin is indeed a vital part of a Lower Schooler ' s education. Overflowing with zeal, Latin students Ben Bullen, Winston Brooks, and Matt Stebner show the Latin Saturnalia spirit.

After learning the multiple dangers of angering Mr. Springfield and the thrills of P.E. class with Coach Walker, seventh graders often feel like old pros, though only in the first year of Lower School. Life may occasionally seem tough for these seventh graders as they try to survive in a world ruled by tyrannical eighth graders and filled with nightmarish horrors: afterschools, Hollywood, Rules of Civility, and cafeteria lunches. Indeed, the future must look terribly bleak for these neophyte scholars, but they are driven faithfully onward by that one Eternal Truth — in just one year ' s time they will be the tyrannical eighth graders. As leaders of the Lower School, it will be their responsibility to show the ropes to the next batch of young and inexperienced seventh graders. Learning one of the many pleasures of a Hull upper locker, David Felsenthal stretches high to retrieve his book bag.

First, he must find a faculty member who is gullible enough to believe the student ' s hastily concocted story and sign the pass. Then, he must convince the study-hall proctor that the Library Pass is genuine. If this mission is successful, the seventh grader is free to make his trek to the library, where he may choose to research a report or, as is more often the case, kill time by upsetting the librarians and reading Mad magazine. But while many students see Library Passes as simply an escape, these little slips of paper do serve a valuable function: they allow the seventh graders to become more familiar with the facilities of our library.

Knapp, Jr. And the Class of 1987 From HIS PARENTS 216 Ads 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 believe they are the best in the business. Guardsmark doesn ' t beUeve it and you won ' t either if you take time to compare. Guardsmark has the edge in selection, training, supervision, and extras. The edge in selection The heart of the security business is selection and training. The most famous companies don ' t tell you much about selection. At Guardsmark, we do because we have something to tell. Our careful selection leads to guards who are mature, responsible, self-motivated and honest, the kind you want guarding your company. Our selection techniques are so selective that only one applicant out of twenty-five is accepted for training as a Guardsmark security officer or investigator. We go back at least ten years in the applicant ' s life and check everything, including medical history. In states where law permits, we administer poly- graph tests to assure honesty on the front end and keep on checking. Newly hired employees are then given a 566 question psychological test to determine the job for which they ' re best suited. In short, we find out if something ' s wrong before it has a chance to go wrong. The edge in training At Guardsmark, we don ' t train guards just to react to crisis situations. Certainly we teach them how to do that but much more importantly we stress prevention of events that lead to a crisis. We teach them how to spot th e 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.

There were times when I didn ' t think there would ever be an Owl, 1983. My multicolored Techni-Kit (yearbook box) seemed to get heavier and messier every day. We didn ' t mail a supposedly summer shipment until December. Things almost looked bad. But as we learned how to work with one another, the situation improved without bound. Larry Lee and his staff always came through with excellent photographic coverage of every area of school life. When we needed an important print on a Saturday afternoon. Bob Thompson would be in the darkroom within an hour. Without these two groups, the yearbook would be a novel full of copy like this. Often individual efforts merit special recognition. As editor of Sports, the largest section in the book, Arkansan Fort Denton drove over 100 miles round trip every Saturday to work on his yearbook pages. Through creativity and hard work, Mark Hamer turned in thirty-eight pages of excellent Student Life. Outstanding work was also turned in by Fred Hidaji, Stewart Waller, Scott King, and Lane Watson. The completion of these pages would have been impossible without the reliable typing of David Boyd and David Williams. But the one person who deserves more credit than I can possibly give is Mr. Ellis Haguewood. He spent several days of summer break advising me in the search of a good yearbook theme. He sacrificed every Saturday from October until March, checking our work to make sure it was something we could be proud of. I have greatly benefitted from working with such a fine staff and advisor. Thanks. Chapman Dewey Having pulled himself away from the Saturday morning cartoons, Doug Pyne contemplates the navigation of Lake Bowman so that he can make it to the yearbook meeting behind the white door.

' Memphis University School . . . is committed to the most challenging of academic principles ' Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, 1983 Yes, we do measure up to our high Academic standards. According to the report of the SACS Visiting Committee, we do push ourselves to the limit of our mental ability. But the students ' willpower and initiative is not the only reason for our excellence in Academics; rather, this excellence is the result of the cooperative effort of every person on campus. The report commends the Board of Trustees for its visionary planning and its giving of time, talent, and resources. The administrative members are noted for being dedicated to giving each boy a quality educational experience. The faculty is commended for its enthusiasm, dedication, and professionalism in providing a challenging all-encompassing (academic) program. Thus, the Board, administration, and faculty combine their expertise to provide every student an outstanding education — an education which the committee describes as having achieved a position of leadership ... in the South and the nation. We, every one of us, do measure up in Academics. Sitting in to evaluate the calculus class.

According to the report of the SACS Visiting Committee, we do possess the bearing of true gentlemen. But the students ' sense of honor and propriety toward the school is not the only reason for our excellence in Character; rather, this excellence is the result of the cooperative effort of everyone at our school. The Board of Trustees, which the report commends for having provided excellent leadership over the years, is committed to the timeless, un changing goals and objectives outlined in the school philosophy. The administration, noted for being accessible and willing to listen, maintains a day- to-day environment consistent with the school motto, Veritas Honorque. The faculty, commended for its willingness to give generously of self, puts the Honor System into effective practice when allowing students to take a quiz or a test without a proctor. Thus, the Board, administration, and faculty combine their effort to instill a sense of truth and honor in all students, who are themselves complimented for having responsibility and respect for the Honor System. We, every one of us, do measure up in Character.

The success . . . is measured not only by an enviable win-loss record but also by the intangibles Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, 1983 Yes, we do measure up to our high Athletic standards. According to the Visiting Committee, we do break the all-important tape after clearing the last hurdle. But the student-athlete ' s motivation and stamina is not the only reason for our excellence in Athletics. Many of the faculty, noted for genuinely enjoying the opportunity to work with young people, don the role of coach at 3:15. Those who are neither coaches nor athletes root for our teams. Thus the coaches, athletes, and boosters combine their output to go the extra mile. We, every one of us, do measure up in Athletics.

Athletics 263 YES, WE DID MEASURE UP! This was the year of evaluation, and we did measure up to the rigorous standards of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The Visiting Committee from the Association validated the results of our self-study and recommended our school for continuation as a member institution in good standing. The Committee concluded that we have been successful in satisfying the school ' s guiding principle — to develop character along with mental competence as preparation for college and life. According to Dr. Ford Haynes, chairman of the Committee, We (the Committee members) saw so many evidences of a strong college-bound program here. The Owl provides the Answer: Yes, we do measure up to our own expectations, to our original purpose and objectives, to the standards set by former students. Let ' s hope the Memphis University School of 1 993, the next year of evaluation, will measure up to our standards, those of 1983.
