CYMSAStHM EZHU %t w mmiUUumi m Um MEASURING UP It only happens once every ten years, and this was the year. 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 '

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. Judge our performance in Academics, and decide whether we measure up. Then, compare your conclusion with that in the closing section of The Owl. Academics 7
