In six short years, these baby Owls will mature into the leaders of the school as the Class of 1 989. TITLE PAGE 1 THE MOVE ,._. ; .. From One End i % •. ' ■• ' ■: • ' T .!.pHp J ' jB|r . ..!ltO WpffIiiii ' ' ' , mmm v «m m lm - . , 2 OPENING to the Other THE MOVE FROM ONE END of the administration wing to the other, Mr. Jerry Peters, Mr. Leigh MacQueen, and Mr. Bob Boeite trekked back and forth hauling desks, chairs, and boxes of books to their new home down the hall. After months of construction, the Lecture Room was finally transformed into a lavish new office complex. The $50,000 project began last spring when the Administration decided that they needed a little elbow room. The renovation of the Lecture Room provided ample space for the much larger new offices which are reserved for day-to-day activities such as broadcasting morning announcements and receiving tardy notes; the old office is now used primarily for bookkeeping and financial matters. This move from one end to the other not only distinguishes 1983-84 from other years, but it also perfectly symbolizes the school and the activities in which the students are involved. Throughout the year we worked, played, and remained the best from one end TO THE OTHER. At the north end of the former lecture room, members of the construction crew work in the office that Mr. Bob Boeite will occupy. The new office would not be complete without a new secretary. Mrs. Betty Edwards was hired to serve as a receptionist in the east office, while Mrs. Lynn Brugge will remain in the old office. Standing near the spot where Mr. Mike Deaderick once lectured to the American History classes, Mr. Leigh MacQueen and the builder discuss possible colors for the rugs in the new office. THE MOVE 3 A WORK FROM ONE END to the other it was work, work, work. From pre-season football drills to pre-game warm-ups, from Babes in Arms auditions to the dress rehearsal, from Mrs. Edmondson ' s quizzes to Mr. Deaderick ' s essay tests, and from setting up for the Victory Dance to slaving away in the darkroom, we managed to set aside all temptations and somehow get the job done when the chips were down. At any given time, students and faculty were at work from one end of the campus TO THE OTHER.

Chris Crosby watches closely as Bob Higley tests for solubility. Although he spends hours downstairs in the darkroom processing hundreds of prints and rolls of film, Bob Thompson rarely gets the attention he deserves. All three student publications and the alumni news depend on his enormous efforts. WORK PLRY From One End FROM ONE END to the other, we always found time to enjoy ourselves. From the euthanasia game against Bishop Byrne to the dance afterwards, from the curtain call for Hello Dolly to the cast party, from Mr. Thompson ' s witty remarks to Coach Taylor ' s mannerisms, and from the campaign speeches to the April Fool ' s edition of the newspaper, we were always able to have fun despite our responsibilities on and off campus. Throughout the year, we were at play from one end TO THE OTHER. Here we go Buzzards, here we go! It ' s fun to watch the football team, but many people have admitted that they spend a lot of time studying their favorite cheerleader. Ivy McPherson ranks high in the polls. Preparing for the Homecoming skit, LonMagness puts the final touches on Alex Williams ' outrageous costume. When students want to have fun, they can find it even in the most painful of daily activities. Mrs. Lenti ' s Clack cuisine was so tasty to John Monaghan that he tried to eat his chicken bone. 6 OPENING I ton lo the best $ HP fW • Si  « • . ' THE BEST FROM ONE END to the other, our school is the best. From the district championship in Tennis to that in Golf, we take consistent victories in athletics. From the rave reviews of Hello. Dolly to the overwhelming standing ovation after Babes in Arms, we maintain continued excellence in dramatics. From our high National Merit Semifinalist percentage to our state tournament win in European history, we display unequalled skill in academics. From the newspaper ' s ranking of first place in a national contest to the Student Council ' s accumulation of more profits than ever before from the Fall Fest, we work hard to be the best in extracurricular activities. All facets of school life considered, we are the best from one end TO THE OTHER. We ' re number one!

From the Spring Formal to Grub Day, from pep rallies to chapel skits, from the spring elections to the Fall Fest, from MUS- in-England to MUS-in-Milan, and from summer jobs to winter plays, students worked, played, and proved to be the best from one end TO THE OTHER. STUDENT LIFE II T ■ ■.v.-. -v ' ■ ■■ ' ■■ ' ;. . HELIX! Dolly Sparkles With Life and Color With the snap of a finger and the toss of a coin, a memorable moment in MUSTA ' D theater history began. Many weeks of rehearsal and a few pre-performance sleepless nights culminated with the opening of Hello, Dolly for a three-night run at Hyde Chapel, directed by Mr. Andy Saunders. Prominent in almost every musical number, Shannon McGhee played Dolly Levi, a professional matchmaker bent on finding a replacement for her late husband, Ephraim Levi. A cting as Horace Vandergelder, Posey Hedges falls into Dolly ' s trap and eventually becomes her new husband. Entangled in Dolly ' s scheme to find a husband, Mrs. Malloy (Maggie Eikner), Minnie (Elizabeth Pounders), Cornelius (Hudson Adams), and Barnaby (Mike Carroll) add a touch of humor to the show. Barnaby and Cornelius, Vandergelder ' s two insolvent assistants, pose as a couple of big spenders who get roped into taking Mrs. Malloy and her assistant Minnie to the most expensive restaurant in town, the Harmonia Gardens. All ends happily as Dolly cajoles Horace into marrying her and Cornelius and Mrs. Malloy fall in love. Dazzling costumes, exciting musical numbers, and detailed scenery made MUSTA ' D ' s presentation of Hello Dolly three nights to remember. J9 1 ) Returning to the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant after a long absence, Dolly Levi (Shannon McGhee) is welcomed by the waiters who make up the male chorus. The waiters are from left to right Bob Higley, Todd Albritten, Greg Landau, Stewart Waller, Lon Magness, Jeff Breazeale, Steve Carpenter, Danny Donovan, Trey Jordan, John Cheek, and William Webb. 2) Embarrassed by his ostentatious companion, Horace Vandergelder (Posey Hedges) tries to get Ernestina (Kit Crighton) back behind the curtain. 3) Recently widowed hat store owner, Mrs. Malloy (Maggie Eikner) tries to convince her assistant Minnie (Elizabeth Pounders) to go along with her plan to trick their male customers into taking them to dinner. 4) Coming up from the basement of Vandergelder ' s store, Cornelius (Hudson Adams) and Barnaby (Mike Carroll) plan their trip to the big city to see the stuffed whale. 12 STUDENT LIFE HELLO.

Sherm from outgoing vice-president JeffSiewert. Victorious presidential candidate Bob McEwan receives a cardboard bust look-alike from staunch supporters Pat Schacfer Lee Schaefer, and Lloyd Monger, who believe that it will produce results at the polls. 14 STUDENT LIFE With the arrival of April comes the delightful anticipation of summer, the dread of exams, and preliminary preparations for the following year. Among these preparations are Student Council elections. ' .£■--• .. . .. . .Ss . Beginning with the nominations of candidates by the red and blue conventions, the elections involve two days of campaigning and culminate in witty speeches and the actual voting procedure. In the past years handbills had littered the halls and candidates had been trusted not to make tasteless speeches, but this year a group of concerned teachers decided to limit the candidates in two ways: first by eliminating handbills and second by requiring each candidate to turn in a manuscript of his speech in advance for Iministrative approval. )uring each speech Mr. Leigh MacQueen sat in the rear of the chapel reading the sch, making sure that the candidate did stray from his previously approved speech. Despite the limitations, the elections and speeches proved as entertaining as in the past years. Delivering what was to be a winning speech, Jon Peters makes his final attempt to gain election as Commissioner of Student Activities while master of ceremonies Jeff Siewert and presidential candidate Adam Kriger watch Jon ' s leg shake with fear. Hoping for better luck the second lime around, Bobby Wade climbs up on a table to hang a sign in his campaign for Student Council Secretary- Treasurer.

The Beale Street Festival showcased blues, country, gospel, jazz, and rock bands on Bcale Street and at the riverside Music- Fcst, at the fairgrounds, included local bands like Calculated X and nationally known bands like the Beach Boys and Cheap Trick.

Arms outstretched to usher in the summer, David Gardner gets a much needed water splash during the Memphis in May Triathilon in which David finished 1 17 out of 217. Dreaming of summer days filled with Skoal, women, and more Skoal, James Carter takes a nap during one of his more intellectually stimulating classes. Avoid the temptations of spring, study hard, do homework, says an unidentified teacher bent on making a student ' s life miserable. Spring provides students with the toughest challenges of the school year. During the fall and winter the harsh weather conditions are conducive to studying since going outside is a frigid, unpleasant experience. Studying during the spring months, on the other hand, becomes impossible as the warm sun lures the once dedicated student away from the wholesome learning environment of his room outside into a golden, dream-like world of idyllic fun. Ironically, though, the fourth quarter also represents the most vital academic period of the year. Those students taking AP courses must begin studying for their exams almost immediately after spring break. Others must finish their final exams before enjoying the enticing summer sun. Of course school life is not all academic during this time. One can enjoy the Student Council ' s Spring Formal or munch on free candy during Student Council election week. A rather unique event punctuated the usual spring routine as Latin scholars from all over the state flooded the halls adorned in their traditional togas. Why avoid it? Have fun and enjoy spring, because, after all, you will have to wait one long year for it to come again. Accepting an ancient Latin drink of unknown content, Frank Balkin drums up votes for his bid for the Tennessee Junior Classical League Secretary- Treasurer, a position he deservedly won. SPRING LIFE 19 SUMMER OJV THE JO t I ■ Slaving over a hot stove, Stewart Waller earns his summer cash slinging hash at G.D. Ritzie ' s, a local restaurant. Helping his father, Robert Wallace installs ceiling fans at the Worlds of Fun arcade. 20 STUDENT LIFE Anything for a Buck! S Dad, could I borrow twenty dollars for my date tonight? asks an impoverished, unemployed teenager. For most students, begging their parents for money is a degrading experience easily avoided: get a job. Although the majority of students enjoy wealth through the hard work of their parents, some enterprising, proud workaholics ventured into the ranks of the employed this summer earning money any way they could. The fortunate few like Robert Wallace and Lee McWaters found work with their fathers and did not have to go through the hassle of applying and being interviewed. Others like Matthew Daniel suffered through the applicatio n, interview, and even a lie detector test all for the privilege of sacking groceries at Seessel ' s. The remaining few of the MUS summer jobs force used their connections with friends or acquaintances to find work. No matter how the jobs were found, the MUS work force travailed in many diverse areas ranging from sacking groceries to baling hay. Stewart Waller tickled the tummies of G.D. Ritzie ' s patrons as he worked the grill at that renowned establishment. Working for his father at First Tennessee Bank, Chris Crosby and his two black partners, formally known as the oreo cookie gang, moved sheet rock and did other odd jobs that needed to be done. While the less money-conscious students sat around the house watching T.V., many other students used their summer wisely earning their spending money. Now, when they need money for that big date, begging Dad is not necessary; all they need to do is reach for their summer cash. Working for the Coca-Cola Company, Albert Alexander makes sure that the shelves of Seessel ' s are properly stocked with Coca-Cola products. SUMMER JOBS 21 22 STUDENT LIFE Enrolled in Miss Mary Nell Easum ' s summer- school typing course, James Hudson tries to find the m key on the typewriter as he learns to type M-o-j-o. Enthralled by one of Mrs. Alma Pitner ' s speeches, Evan Speight and Lyle Pierson participate in the largest summer driver ' s education class ever held at school. Summer on the School Campus Working-atone afjjigjjummer ' s record breaking student council car washes, Bob McEwan and Joel Kaye take a shine to a customer ' s car. During the summer months the halls and grounds are buzzing with numerous activities. One week after final exams, the summer program starts into motion. For those interested in either gaining extra credit or passing enough subjects to avoid failing a year, summer school offers courses in everything from typing and computer math to American history and driver ' s education. Athletics continue through the summer , 4 as coaches and athletes pick up a few extra dollars running tennis and basketball camps. For those parents who want a place to leave their children, there is the day camp. Other strange and wonderful events happen. Mr. Andy Saunders and some MUS alumni performed See How They Run in July. The Student Council remained active with car washes and a very profitable garage sale. While learning the finer points of yearbook design at Taylor Publishing Company ' s summer workshop at Ole Miss, the yearbook staff met a few interesting friends from Germantown. Pictured are Doug Pyne, Traci Bailey, Mark Hamer, Angie Grubbs, Chris Floyd, Jeff Breazeale, Betsy Palmer, Chris Turley, Jessica Scallions, Angus Webber, Karen Macko, and Bill Jennings. Working under the direction of their mentor Mr. Andy Saunders, MUS alumni Skip Jones, Walt Little, and Steve Mook act in a summer alumni production of a hilarious British farce, See How They Run. SUMMER AT MUS 23 Summer on the Move Once again restless students spent the summer galavanting around the globe enjoying the environment of foreign lands. Escaping from the boredom and heat of Memphis, students ended up in such diverse places as England, Colorado, the Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas. Following tradition, a group of students chaperoned by Coach Craig Schmidt traveled to England and Paris on the MUS-in-England program. Other adventurous souls like John Owen and Chris Crosby traveled to the Cayman Islands and Nassau to enjoy the sun and fun of these havens of excitement. While some students left Memphis, Bruckner Chase returned from Australia after spending a year there as a Rotary Exchange Student. Mixing business with pleasure, John Owen spends the summer months working under the glorious blue skies of the Cayman Islands. Down on the farm, Johnnie Barringer, George Early, Tommy Cooke, Kimbrough Taylor, and Jay Steed take a much needed break from baling hay. Slicing through the water with his bare feet, Robert Hollabaugh demonstrates the most painful form of water skiing at a barefoot ski camp in Wisconsin. 24 STUDENT LIFE Learning to fend for himself n the wilds of Colorado, Stewart Austin uses a waterfall to wash his hair. A beautiful morning dawns on the islands of Hawaii. Chris Trapp spent a week in July enjoying this island paradise. SUMMER VACATION 25 %myik % 77u ' s « as c ase to a summer job as most students get. Billy Cole faces the toughest responsibility of the summer in his broken lawnmower, and is bested by it. Not realizing he has wasted half the day (and summer), Mike Carroll catches up on sleep he missed during exam week. ' « .? «« L • yf 26 MEMPHIS Summer on the Couch What We Really Did During the Summer Every year we listen to Mr. Thorn ' s back- to-school day speech about all the activities that go on during the summer: annual and newspaper camps, football and soccer workouts , student council car washes and planning sessions, etc. But the fact remains that for a large majority of students summer is a three- month respite from the rigors and responsibilities of school. Those of us not lucky enough to estivate in Florida or the Bahamas spend our vacation vegetating around town. Most of the time students sleep in, catch the David Letterman Show, and watch the latest videos on MTV. Growing tired of staying at home the student cruises the town looking for non-existent parties; he usually ends up at McDonald ' s, Krystal ' s, or the arcade — the single ' s bar of the teenage crowd. By late August many students, although they might be hesitant to admit it, look forward to school. Wishing he were in Florida, Bob Higley gets a TV- tan at home watching Beach Blanket Bingo on HBO. Worlds of Fun arcade was a popular hangout for students this summer. Mike Peeler and Robert Wallace stop by for a game of video football. Even though the meat in a Krystal ' s hamburger is the same as in mystery meat, many students pay in the summer for what they avoid during the school year. SUMMER 27 The Party ' s Over—Back to School After weeks of expectation and trepidation, school starts and students look ahead to the coming year. Forgetting the mountains of homework and surfeit of tests, students plan their social calendar for the next months. On each student ' s calendar are the football games on Friday nights. For the first few months of school, students fill the stands of Hull-Dobbs field to watch the outstanding Owl football team walk over its opponents or to watch the many females that parade around the bleachers. Twice during the season the Student Council provides dances to entertain students after another football victory. For the opening game of the season there is the Victory Dance, which provides a congenial environment for students to rediscover friends and acquaintances not seen over the summer. The climax of the season comes around the end of October in the form of the Homecoming Dance. With all the fun and entertainment provided by the football team and the Student Council, students come back to school able to overcome the post- summer blues. Back to school does not mean all studying and numerous tests; it also means fun and excitement. Always conservatively-dressed, John Wilmott leads a group of new students on a tour of the campus for Orientation Day. The Rt. Rev. Alex Dickson, the keynote speaker for the year, sets the tone for subsequent chapel speeches. Poised and ready, cheerleaders Lauren Bailey, Kendall Wier, Michelle Nelson, Gay Daughdrill, Ivy McPherson, and Daye Elkin build a pyramid during the first pep rally. At the Student Council ' s annual back-to-school watermelon feast, James Carter and Bob McEwan busily slice while in the background Gavin Murrey and Sterritt Armstrong spit seeds. In a show o true sibling affection, Kelly Shipley consoles her unescorted brother Steve at the Victory Dance following the Briarcrest game. Hoping that Mrs. Dot Halliday will overcharge Chris Trapp, Mr. Leslie Daniel eagerly awaits Trapp ' s blank check for his fall semester books. 30 STUDENT LIFE Fired Up Temperatures reach a scorching 100 degrees; summer school is over. August has arrived, and with it the foreboding prospect of the first day of school. Athletes begin practice, the summer reading rush begins, new clothes are bought, and books are purchased in preparation for the first day of school. Driving past the school along Ridgeway on a blistering afternoon, one hears grunts and groans of exhaustion emanating from behind the hedge that runs next to Colonel Lynn ' s house. Football practice has begun as coaches and players prepare for the season opener against Briarcrest. Moving around the perimeter of the school along Park Avenue, one catches a glimpse of activity in the vicinity of the Lower School. A soccer ball flies in front of the car as an errant shot finds its way into the street. From the dirty, sweaty practice outfits of the athletes, the back-to-school scene changes from the locker room to the men ' s section at Oak Hall and the welcome window at Dot and Leslie ' s book store as students prepare for school. The necessary preparations have been made as school begins and students look forward to the first set of tests of the school year: the summer reading tests. Go, big team, down the field, and honors bring to the red and blue . . . Mr. William Hatchett leads the students in a rousing rendition of the school fight song at the homecoming pep rally. Mr. Hatchett wrote the lyrics for the song in the Bay of Naples one summer long ago. BACK TO SCHOOL 31 Competing in a unique event to this year ' s Fest — the Mr. MUS competition — Shawn Snipes flexes his pecs in one of the five poses allowed each participant. Unable to find anyone to beat up, Lyle Pierson releases his pent-up emotions on the windshield of the car at the car bash. Vengeance Arrives — Protected by an entourage of bodyguards (Johnny Crews, Larry Geisewite, Pat Schaefer, James Hudson, and Craig Witt) and manager Sherm Jimmy Hart Wilmott, Vengeance (James Carter and Evans Jack) drives toward the mud pit. The Opponents Arrive — Trying to hide their receding hairlines, Mr. John Cady and Mr. Andy Saunders appear confident, unaware of their impending doom. 32 STUDENT LIFE L Flex-Off Heads Fest An unknown band, a mud-wrestling bout, the Mr. MUS contest, and Gavin Murrey ' s raffle highlighted this year ' s Fall Fest. Covered in a shroud of mud, Mr. John Cady and Mr. Andy Saunders were forced to accept defeat at the hands of Vengeance (James Carter and Evans Jack). In a show of personal physique and physical prowess, Bernhardt Trout out-flexed a strong field of competitors, including Adam Kriger, Bruckner Chase, Shawn Snipes, Steve Gold, Evans Jack, and Troy Benitone. With a little help from his friends in the raffle for a date with a Hutchison beauty, Gavin Murrey won the date with Michelle Nelson. Providing the musical entertainment was the band Aquasm headed by drummer Fred Hidaji and bass player Scott Blen. Hidden behind a wall of drums and cymbals, Aquasm drummer Fred Hidaji is distracted by a beautiful blond sitting in the front row. Confident to the end, Mr. MUS hopefuls Evans Jack and Adam Kriger wait for the judges ' decision. Sudden Victory — One, Two, Three, you ' re out cries referee Adam Kriger as Evans Jack of Vengeance pins Mr. Andy Saunders to win the coveted mud- wrestling crown. FALL FEST 33 OM THE §3. ROAD Wherever the football team went, the cheerleaders followed. Lauren Bailey, Daye Elkin, Deborah Bass, Elizabeth Pounders, Meg Byers (Captain), Ivy McPherson, anl Laura McArtor cheered for the Owls through rain, wind, and shine from Tupelo to Nashville. Who knows 1-40 better than Owl fans and athletes? Surely no one, as bus loads of students, parents, and athletes traveled Tennessee ' s main artery in search of worthy opponents. Usually the devout football fan can look forward to a caravan or two during the season, but this year luxury buses replaced station wagons as the supporters followed the team from Tupelo to Milan and finally twice to Nashville. It became a regular Monday feature to see Evans Jack announce during chapel that bus tickets would be available for another road trip. The four or five hour drives to and from Nashville proved the greatest test of loyalty for the fans, but whether the trip took five hours or five minutes, a consistently large group of several hundred students made each trek and were rewarded with victories such as the almost unprecedented defeat of nationally ranked Brentwood Academy. The football team was not the only team to enjoy the unique experience of a road trip as both the cross-country team and the soccer team hit the highway, the former to Jackson and Nashville, the other to Oak Ridge. Few supporters followed these minor sport athletes but that in no way hampered their performances, as both teams represented the school well. The cross-country team finished respectably in the Jackson-Central Merry Invitational and the Regionals and the soccer team won the Oak Ridge Invitational soccer tournament. Checking ticket stubs, Mr. Dan Griffin and Mr. Leigh MacQueen usher fans onto the bus. 34 STUDENT LIFE Getting an early start, soccer players Lee Mc Waters and Matthew Daniel meet outside the cafeteria at 5:30 am before leaving for Oak Ridge. ON THE ROAD 35 Beale Street Bounces Back When W. C. Handy lived in Memphis from 1880 to 1917, Beale Street flourished as an economic and cultural center for Blacks. In addition to famous blues clubs, the street was lined with Black businesses, churches, stores, and apartments. After 1917 Beale Street declined: Handy ' s departure, Prohibition, and the Depression had a detrimental effect. The street lay somewhat dormant until 1979 when the Beale Street Development Corporation began to redevelop the area. Hundreds of Memphians participated in the dedication of Phase I of the renovation on October 8th. This phase included the redevelopment of Beale Street between Third and Fourth Streets, focusing on restaurants and nightclubs like The One Minute, once famous for its one-minute hotdogs; Memphis Memories; and Club Handy. Phase 2, scheduled to be completed by late 1984, will contain more retail activity between Second and Third Streets. Historical sites, such as the Old Daisy Theater, will provide a historical link with the past and help recapture the nostalgia of Handy ' s time. After seventy years of decay, the birthplace of the blues is back in business. The Beale Street project plays a crucial part in Memphis ' s downtown revitalization. The new shops and restaurants provide a fresh look at this historic street which will gain business and tourism for Memphis in the years to come. Beale Street does not just have restaurants and nightclubs. Here Bill Cole scrutinizes a print at an art gallery-printshop on Beale Street. Father of the Blues, W. C. Handy, is honored by this statue in Handy Park off Beale Street. 36 MEMPHIS Phase I: Hundreds of Memphians tour the shops and restaurants of Beale Street on the October 8th dedication. Phase 2: This torn-up street will soon be the site of mm many new stores on Beale Street. Chris Trapp pauses at the Daiquiri Factory to listen to this guitarist play some blues tunes. Outside the Old Daisy Theater several Memphians enjoy the music of Uncle Ben. This theater is being renovated to serve as the Center for Southern Folklore, established to preserve Southern cultural traditions. BEALE STREET 37 The Float Si ink If the Student Council learned one thing, it was that rain and crepe paper do not mix. A novel idea turned into a watery mess. Without a public address system or a usable float, Homecoming spirit seemed diluted at best. During a week of festivities, students enjoyed wearing shades and hats without being told to take them off. When Friday arrived, students came adorned in a variety of way-out costumes, in order to set the rowdy mood for the morning pep rally and skits. The sun set and Friday night glistened in all its damp glory, as the heavens opened for the game and the post-romp dance. When the P.A. system broke down, the Council improvised, deciding to hold the crowning of the Homecoming queen in a dry Clack Dance Hall. Parents were allowed to watch the festivities and then leave before the band got cranked up and the paying customers began enjoying themselves. Escorted by specially chosen MUS gentlemen, the lovely ladies of the court awaited the results of the balloting. After introducing the contestants, master of ceremonies John Wilmott announced the winner Lauren Bailey and the first runner-up Ivy McPherson. Skypeace began to play and the finale commenced as student bodies boogied to exhausting thirty-minute sets. What a week! What a game! What a party! Rainsoaked cheerleaders Mike Carroll, Meg Byers, Kendall Weir, Ricky Fogelman, Deborah Bass, Elizabeth Pounders, Gay Daughdrill, Daye Elkin, and Shawn Snipes brave the cloudburst during the homecoming game. Unaware of what the evening cloudburst was to do to their handywork, Lee Nelson, Jared McStay, and Matt Thompson decorate the doomed float under the supervision of Parker Phillips and Bill McKelvy. 38 STUDENT LIFE Soon to be crowned, Lauren Bailey and her escort Kevin Parker smilingly accept good luck wishes from rainsoaked spectators Shawn Snipes, Kendall Weir, and Bo Brooksbank. FOOTBALL HOMECOMING 39 Hats in hand, the entire chorus — Suzanne Ray, Adam Kriger, Doree Jane Smith, Fred Hidaji, Catherine Hughes, Stefart Waller, Julie Caskey, Mike Carroll, Milbrey Heard, Jay Arkle, Carol Ann Carter, Gregg Landau, Susan Stimbert, Bob Higley, and Darwin Hedges — complete the glittering set. f ••• •••• !•• «, •! «••• •••• ••• '  •«. ••• §• •• %• } • • « HUB i ujjugtf : iw M « ra. ilittilfaiiniiiiMiii- iKiKi i- - j£ BABES IN ARMS Nothing elaborate. No fancy costumes. MUS and Hutchison theater arts groups ' collaborative production Babes in Arms boasted few if any gimmicks but stood out as one of the group ' s finest productions. Inspirational musical numbers, reputable acting, and the right touch of comedy blended to make the performance a success. Babes in Arms is the story of an off-Broadway theatrical group trying to convince their boss to forsake the epic The Deep North for their own review. Author and self-proclaimed star of The Deep North Lee Calhoun (Edward Felsenthal) arrives to perform his play, only to be outwitted by the cast. All ends happily as the review is performed and the various romances untangled. MUSTA ' D director Mr. Andy Saunders produced another in a long series of excellent musicals. In a brief moment of agreement, Hudson Adams and Cathy Johnson delight the audience with a duet. 4 40 STUDENT LIFE During one of the rehearsals, John Fulton and Christian Tabor engage in a heated argument. Holding their note, the cast of Babes in Arms — Hudson Adams, Carol Ann Carter, Cathy Johnson, Mike Carroll John Fulton, Doree Jane Smith, Christian Tabor, Adam Kriger, Suzanne Ray, and Gregg Landau — delight the audience. Smiling nervously, members of the chorus Suzanne Ray, Adam Kriger, Doree Jane Smith, Fred Hidaji, Catherine Hughes, Stewart Waller, and Julie Caskey accept the audience ' s applause after another polished performance. FALL PLAY 41 UMIUM! Eatin ' Out After a week of gastronomic surprise, students escape from the bent forks to enjoy weekend cuisine. Bennigan ' s, Houlihan ' s, Steak and Ale, People ' s, and Palazzino ' s provide relief to our suffering stomachs. Whether one enjoys steak, seafood, or Italian food, these neighborhood eateries serve it all. For a brief time of forty-eight hours, one can sate his culinary fancies before returning to school. Stoodup again, Jon Monaghan dreams of his ideal date. .

NIGHTLIFE 43 Come Back, Shane Striving for excellence in the product, the yearbook editors and staff check and double-check the spelling of names, the accuracy of facts, and the clarity of copy and captions. Unfortunately, after seven months of working all day Saturday and many afternoons, we fouled up. Although we do not claim full responsibility for last year ' s inept staff, we do apologize to Shane Butler. For years Lower Schoolers have been held down and abused. For example, a reliable source close to Shane brought to our attention the fact that his picture did not appear in the Underclassman section of last year ' s Owl. How could such a thing have happened to the founder of the Lower School Physics Club? Lack of funds? youthful irresponsibility? pressure of adolescence? We don ' t know; you figure it out. We ' re just sorry it happened. So, we proudly dedicate this two-page layout, The Ones That Didn ' t Make It, to you, Shane Butler. Photographer Bill Cole took this skyline picture for the Memphis section of the yearbook. It was not used in that section so we bring it to you here free of charge. Following a meeting of concerned parents and students who watched the PBS documentary The Chemical People together, a panel of experts fields questions from the audience. 44 STUDENT LIFE The Ones That Didn ' t Make It A moment is but a moment that, once passed, is forever forgotten unless captured through the lens of a camera. One remembers the plays, the football games, the Fall Fest, the dances, and Student Council elections, but what about the little, seemingly irrelevant activities? Of the five thousand pictures taken by the photography crew, not all immortalized Bobby Wade ' s running style, or captured the grace of the cheerleaders. Some captured moods, expressions, and small yet noteworthy moments. As complex and diverse as are the activities of the student body, tragically only the traditionally important activities are reported in the school ' s publications. A place is needed to display the pictures taken of the events which have heretofore gone unheralded yet which contribute to the character of MUS. A moment is a precious commodity — alarmingly ephemeral, yet paradoxically immortal if captured on film. A photographer was sent with known clothes-horse Shawn Snipes to find out what makes a sharp-dressed man. Shawn is helped by Lauren Bailey and Gay Daughdrill in the crucial decision of which tie to buy. He bought both. We ' ll never know what they were laughing at, but this picture of Tim Donovan and Joel Sklar records the camaraderie and sense of humor that is always visible at MUS. THE ONES THAT DIDN ' T MAKE IT 45 ■ Feature: THE SKIT For twenty minutes on a Homecoming Friday morning we gather in the chapel adorned in our Grub Day garb to be entertained by the cheerleaders and a humorous Homecoming skit. How does this production become reality? As with any theatrical production, one must have a theme or plot on which to build. A single student or a group of students takes charge of the production and formulates a theme based on input from outside sources. A brainstorming session is usually helpful in finding humorous ideas. Once an acceptable idea has been conceived, the group goes about writing a script for the production. Everything from the actual dialogue to the lighting cues must be included. Having a definite written plan lessens the rehearsal time and generally leads to a more polished performance. With a definite format created, the group of organizers can turn to finding a cast. As was the case in both of this year ' s skits, the script was written around a nucleus of three or four characters supported by a cast of minor characters. Paul Reaves dominated the scene as Coach Jerry Peters while Jared McStay (Mr. Jerrold Omundson), Leo Beale (the opposing coach), and Dean Siewert (Mr. Leigh MacQueen) appeared in both Homecoming productions. The meticulous preparation apparent in all of the recent skits stems from the faculty ' s requirement that the productions be censored. A faculty committee led by the ardent skit critic Mr. Michael Deaderick reads the script looking for personal abuse, satanic elements, suggestive acronyms, or any such unsavory humor. Once the script and cast have been approved by the committee, staging of the production begins in preparation for the performance on Friday morning. While administrators Jerry Peters (Paul Reaves) and Leigh MacQueen (Dean Siewert) listen attentively, Coach Bobby Alston (Will James) states his opinion on whether the Student Council should get the money for Homecoming. 4 ■ i i 1 i •• - « jm aHT i r W S% - 46 STUDENT LIFE £ ' ' .:jf% Wim ' Tr -.w( DIFFERENT A different band, a different game, a different season, and a different queen marked the second homecoming of the year. From the rain of football homecoming to the frigidity of basketball homecoming much appears different, even though the events are basically identical in structure. After the traditional week of Shade Day, Red and Blue Day, Lid Day, and Grub Day, the final day of festivities began with a homecoming skit, a pep rally, a homecoming queen election, a game, and finally, a dance. U-Turn replaced Skypeace as the band, Carrie McCall replaced Lauren Bailey as queen, and Red and Blue day replaced Blue and Red day. Give me an S. Cheerleaders Deborah Bass, Daye Elkin, Ivy McPherson, Laura McArtor, and Lauren Bailey lead the group in the staple cheer M — U — S. Relaxing, homecoming goers Greg McGowan, Andy Wright, David Warlick, and their dates listen to the sounds of U-Turn sitting down. ' - • ■ ■-■ ■ HOMECOMING 47 ??EXTRfl NDT IGNORED A computer can ignore extraneous material, but the yearbook staff cannot. Nothing can go unreported because anything in which students and faculty participate adds to our image as a multi-faceted institution. Annual events such as the Senior-Faculty basketball game, the talent show, and Careers Day deserve recognition as character builders. Where else can a collection of misfits pulled off the back alleys of Memphis romp to victory over a seasoned group of veterans experienced only in the art of spectating? Where else can students pit themselves against each other in musical, comic, or vocal rivalry? Where else can juniors sit for hours to hear about a myriad of occupations that they wouldn ' t or couldn ' t get into? In addition to the regular yearly events we have surprises. We had a snow storm over Christmas break, we hosted a local showing of Mrs. Nancy Reagan ' s The Chemical People, and a few students posed for a calendar entitled Memphis Area Student Bodies. Driving the lane, senior Tommy Cooke throws up a brick, while Coach Bobby Alston, Rob Sumner, and Matthew Daniel look on during the Senior-Faculty showdown. Narcissistic calendar models Jon Peters, Kevin Parker, and Bob McEwan examine their poses in the Memphis Area Student Bodies calendar. 48 STUDENT LIFE Immersed in their music, Synesthesia members Scott Blen and Fred Hidaji audition for the talent show. A TRADITION Talking about extraneous events, who could forget the long-standing tradition of Friday morning chapels? From homecoming skits to Mr. Haguewood ' s School Day Picture Day (SDPD) speech, we had it all shoveled to us this year. The highlight must have been the return of the Pink Palace ' s Mr. Roger Van Cleef, who made another fascinating demonstration of scientific phenomena. How could anyone forget Mr. Ira Lipman ' s plug for his new book entitled How to Protect Yourself from Crime? Bruckner Chase and Mr. Leslie Daniel made presentations on areas of interest to them. The Coach of the Memphis Showboats, Pepper Rodgers, entertained the audience with football stories about himself and Coach Jake Rudolph, who had been a teammate of Rodgers at Georgia Tech. What would we do without a tradition of somniferous excellence? MISCELLANEOUS 49 10:20 A Moment in Time From the air one sees a serene, arboreous setting secluded from the complexities of everyday life, but appearances are often deceiving. During class time the crowd is separated into groups of twenty students, enabling a fleeting silence to permeate the atmosphere. 10:20 arrives, though, and the scene changes as students join for twenty minutes of mayhem including anything from a quick backgammon game to a spiritually enlightening Wednesday chapel program. Let ' s borrow from Thomas Wolfe and freeze a moment in time: 10:20 at MUS. Numerous activities ranging from impromptu gatherings in the lounge to scheduled chapel programs constitute a time appropriately called Organizational Period. If ever a consistency existed to this crazy time, it would have to be chapel. Monday and Wednesday, Upper and Lower Schoolers alike gather to listen to announcements and obtain a few religious pointers. While the Lower Schoolers spend Tuesday and Thursd ay in their auditorium, the Upper Schoolers use the time to finish homework, meet with various clubs, eat and drink in the lounge, or catch up on some much-needed sleep. Without this respite at 10:20 to break the monotony, no one would be able to fully concentrate, making it one of the most treasured moments of the day. Here, frozen in pictures and words is that revered moment of 10:20 AM. Relaxing during organizational period, Trent Hanover and Mark Salky take full advantage of this moment in time. 50 STUDENT LIFE Preparing for the wrestling season, Len Hardison works out on the bench press at 10:20. Back from his workout, Len Hardison joins David Ford, Walker Upshaw, Bob Higley, Shawn Snipes, and Todd Allbritten in a 10:20 snack. CAMPUS I 51 WINTERTIME BLUES The period of time between Christmas break and Spring Break can be awfully long. For weeks on end, students trudge through school sustained only by the hope of getting out of school on account of snow. This year we got one snow day with another one stolen from us by Administration bungling. However, as consolation for lack of snow, February was unusually warm. Relatively uneventful, third quarter does have some events to relieve the tedium of school. The Civic Service Club held its annual Charity Week beginning February 26 with the Rock- a-Thon, where students rocked in rocking chairs all Saturday to earn their civic service points and to raise money for charity. Other events of the week with proceeds going to charity included the Senior Pizza Pig-Out at Pizza Hut, Friday ' s lunchtime fast, and the Talent Show, which entertained a full house with poetry readings, classical recitals, and rock bands. Two very different speakers gave intriguing speeches in chapel in February. The highly energetic Pepper Rodgers spoke about the Showboats, the new USFL football team in Memphis, coached by Rodgers. In a special assembly Captain Gerald Coffee told the student body about his seven- year stay in a Vietnamese prisoner-of- war camp. His fascinating account of his ordeal captivated the students and faculty and confirmed the strength of man ' s will to survive. These events and others, like the Lower School dance on February 24, provided students with diversion until Spring Break. Although February is the shortest month of the year, it can seem the longest. Relating his gruesome experience in a Vietnamese POW camp, Captain Gerald Coffee captivates the students in a special chapel program on Tuesday, February 21. Walkmans, Lounge jams, and M A S H reruns highlighted the annual Rock-a-thon for charity week. Here Jody Graham, John Dahl, Edward Burr, and Chris Donovan find it a relaxing way to earn their civic service points. Trying not to act like nerds at their first dance, the Lower Schoolers impress their dates with the newly-learned dance-school steps which they will never use at a dance again. 52 STUDENT LIFE Spinning a basketball on his finger, John Willmott recites a poem that won him the Most Entertaining award in the Talent Show. This empty lunchroom represents several hundred dollars raised for charity during the Friday Fast. Although the snowfall seemed light, it was heavy enough to keep us out of school on January 18.

ONE-ACTS A Forum for New Talent While most MUSTA ' D productions have a predominantly MUS and Hutchison cast, this year ' s Winter One Acts boasted previously unseen performers from St. Mary ' s, St. Agnes, Germantown, Lausanne, and White Station. Taking a backseat to Mr. Jolly ' s coeval Hutchison production of Cinderella, Mr. Andy Saunders cast girls from other schools. Relying on a die-hard crew of veteran thespians (Mike Carroll, Doug Kremer, Bob Higley, Cliff Winnig, John Fulton, and Frank Balkin) complemented by a few interesting newcomers, Mr. Saunders created an intimate, professional production of laudable quality. To attain the small-scale, playhouse atmosphere desired, Mr. Saunders seated the audience on the stage in unnerving proximity to the actors, a few of whom had never performed before. As has become the tradition over the last two years, seniors have taken part in winter plays because they find themselves with an unusual abundance of free time. Trying their hands at acting for the first time, seniors Shawn Snipes, John Wilmott, and Jared McStay added an exciting, outlandish flavor to The Pigman and Jack Shall Have Jill. Divided into two separate plays, the Acts consisted of The Pigman, with Frank Balkin as Mr. Pignati, and an arrangement of Shakespearean scenes entitled Jack Shall Have Jill. Unlike Hello, Dolly or Babes in Arms, the Acts were an unextravagant, but entertaining, production. Advertising the Winter One-Acts with a new flair, MUSTA ' D director Mr. Andy Saunders prepares to sing the hit song Pigman. Talking to the distant Mr. Pignati (Frank Balkin), John and Lorraine (Mike Carroll and Elizabeth Colville) make arrangements to meet the old man. wf WUtm Rehearsing a scene with St. Mary ' s talent Betsy Barnett, Shawn Snipes prepares for his part as Lysander in an excerpt from Shakespeare ' s A Midsummer Night ' s Dream.

Winning only one match of the first five — against Briarcrest — the golfers finished regular-season play with a ten- stroke win over Harding. The team used the victory as a springboard into the District competition and their strong finish. Ralph Gibson ' s 73 in the District qualified him for Regional competition. A 73 in the Regional propelled him into the State tournament at Nashville, where he finished in the top twenty. Coach Askew called his charges a good, loose group, who didn ' t let match pressure bother them. The team consisted of juniors Walker Upshaw and Gibson; sophomore Tim Wise; freshmen John Dulin and Eb LeMaster; and eighth- graders Dan Hartman and Jeff Ruffin.

The team placed second behind CBHS, the eventual state runner-up, in the Regional tournament. According to Coach Lin Askew, The courses were in relatively good shape; the players were at the top of their game; the weather was cooperative. The team started the season with six consecutive victories against mainly district foes. Upshaw ' s steady play, including a season-low 69 in the Harding match, exemplified the consistent play of the team. The linksters closed out the season with four straight victories. Tied with Bishop Byrne at 312 in the District tournament, the Owls wrapped up the championship on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff when Upshaw and Gibson birdied. Concentrating on his shot.

In the first six dual contests, MUS did not lose a match, an incredible 54 wins in a row over Memphis teams. This string also included a 9-0 thrashing of MBA at Nashville by the top six players: Jeff Barry, Murray Garrott, John Morris, John Kremer, Scotty Scott, and Tim Donovan. MUS finished second to Baylor in the Carter Memorial Tournament at Montgomery Bell Academy and at the Chattanooga Rotary Tournament. The Owls dominated District Tournament play, qualifying four players in singles and two doubles teams. In the singles final, Barry beat Garrott 6-4, 7-6, and Barry Kremer combined to beat Garrott Morris for the doubles crown. All of these players advanced to Regional competition where Garrott defeated Morris in one semifinal and Barry lost to Tom Wallace of CBHS in the other. The singles final matched rivals Garrott and Wallace for the city title. With a vocal crowd behind him, Garrott pulled out a grueling victory in three sets 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, to win the Region. The doubles team of Garrott Morris beat Barry Kremer in the finals, but Morris was forced to withdraw because of a back injury and Barry Kremer advanced to the State. At the State, MUS had a lead over Baylor going into the final day. Garrott was in the singles final against a Baylor player, Bob Williams, and Barry Kremer were in the doubles final against the Baylor team of Williams Gonzales. MUS needed to win only one or the two finals to be State Champions, but championship hopes faded as Garrott narrowly lost 7-6, 0-6, 2-6, and Barry Kremer were edged out 4-6, 6-4, 4-6. Focusing on I he ball, Murray Garrott readies a backhand return against Tom Wallace of CBHS in the singles final of the Regional tournament.

All of the dual matches were held at MUS, and there was not much problem with the weather, although a match against Auburndale was rained out. None of the players lost a match until meeting each other in the league tournament at Harding. Allen Graber claimed the singles title by defeating Marty Felsenthal, who had beaten McKay Caston in the semi-finals.

Foes, Records Fall A 3-0 dual-meet record, first-place in the Harding Invitational, second-place in the Regional meet — by all standards, it was a banner year for varsity track. Coach Bobby Alston, in his initial year as head coach, and Assistant Coaches John Cady (field events) and Ed Batey (long-distance races) sparked a resurgence of interest in track that was translated into success in dual, invitational, and post-season meets. Huge wins over Briarcrest and Bishop Byrne and a narrow win over Catholic in dual meets were followed by the MUS Invitational and a third-place finish behind Germantown and CBHS. The next week againu nine teams in the Harding Invitational, the thinclads finished first, narrowly outpointing Catholic for the boys ' title. The meet was decided in the final event, as the 1600 meter relay team of Scott Williams, Andy Seessel, Lee Mc Waters, and Murray Foster smoked to a win. In the Regional meet in Union City, the Owls finished second against some of the best A and AA teams in West Tennessee. In the discus Craig Christenbury advanced to place fifth in the State meet in Nashville. The 400-meter relay team of Mac McCarroll, Bill Sorrells, Murray Foster, and James Rantzow set a new school-record of 44.5 seconds and qualified to run in the State meet. Substituting Andy McCarroll for Murray Foster, the four also broke the school 880-yard relay record with a time of 1:33.8. Leading the pack and as always giving 1 1 0%, Mac McCarroll qualifies in the open 220 at the Harding Invitational. 66 SPORTS Soaring over the bar in the Regional meet in Union City, Craig Christenbury competes in one of several field events. A versatile athlete, Craig tied the school-record in the high jump (6 ' 4 ) at the Regional. Later he finished second in the Regional Decathlon and fourth in the State Decathlon. In the exciting 1600-meter relay at the Harding Invitational, Murray Foster passes Kirby and Harding runners on the anchor leg of the event to win the relay and thus the meet.

Off to a fast start, the Owls easily ran by Harding and Memphis Prep in the first meet. Hosting the meet, MUS dominated with fine performances by sprinters Andy McCarroll and Reg Degan. Jay Steed did well in the high jump and pole vault. In the meet with Germantown and Kirby, the Owls overcame the Devils by one point in a very heated match. The highlight was the 2-mile relay team ' s come-from-behind victory. The team of John Owen, Pierce Hammond, Ken Jones, and Rob Williams upset the favored Germantown runners and brought the points needed to win the retching for the hand off. Pierce Hammond passes the baton to Ken Jones in the 2-mile relay at the JV lampionship. The 2-mile relay team of Rob Williams, John Owen, Pierce Hammond, and Ken Jones made many ; contributions during the season, including their come-from-behind victory which scored the winning points in a ;et against Germantown. meet. Other top performances were by pole-vaulter Alex Williams, shot-putter Owen Tabor, sprinter Harrison Copper, and versatile field-event-man Steed. Despite injuries coming into the championship meet, the junior varsity team managed a third-place finish out of six teams. Lacking key sprinters Degan and Copper, MUS placed behind Germantown and the Brothers in the meet at CBHS. The team ' s strengths included impressive showings by Steed (high jump), Williams (pole vault), Elmore Holmes (mile), Joel Sklar (hurdles), and the two-mile relay team (Owen, Hammond, Jones and Williams).

An unusually large amount of spring rain canceled four of the first six games. When the monsoons finally subsided, the water-logged baseballers dropped the first two games, one a tough 2-3 defeat at the hands of Briarcrest. Success came in game three, a 6-2 thrashing of Coliierville, as pitcher Allen Halliday threw 12 strikeouts. Highlights of the season also included a 3-1 home victory over the same Dragon team, and a surprising 10-7 triumph over Bishop Byrne. In the Byrne game, Jim Burnett, the only senior on the team, and Tim Wise blasted extra-inning homeruns to break a tie. After finishing third in the district, the Owls were eliminated in post-season double-elimination District Tournament play, losing to Bishop Byrne and to Coliierville in a 13-11 slugfest. Always the steady player, lone senior Jim Burnett earned team MVP and all- conference honors for his play at first base. Third baseman Tim Wise and the team ' s leading hitter, catcher Greg McGowan, also received all-conference recognition. Pitcher Allen Halliday had a 2.67 earned- run average, among the best in the city. Caught up in the timeless flow of America ' s immortal game, manager and statistician Ed Triplett and soon-to-be batter Paul Reaves study the warm-up tosses of a Coliierville pitcher for any signs of weakness. The Owls found a few soft spots in the underbelly of the Dragon and won 3-1. EBALL 71 m ALMOST Best Team Ever Dismisses State Hopes Coach Craig Schmidt ' s varsity soccer team had well-founded hopes of winning the State title. Fifteen players, including eleven senior starters, returned from last season ' s third-place-finishing team. The season played true to form as the Owls rolled to a District Championship with a 9-1 district record, and an overall record of 1 6-2, the school ' s best ever. These wins included first place in the Oak Ridge Invitational Tournament and the Owls ' first-ever victory over Oak Ridge High School. MUS advanced all the way to the quarterfinals of the State tournament before losing to Craigmont. The traditional season opener with Briarcrest saw the Owls prevail as Robert Wallace tallied twice. The next game with Germantown was a thriller, with MUS winning 2-1 on a Wallace penalty kick. In the first round of the Oak Ridge Invitational the MUS defense shut out the normally high-scoring Farragut Admirals and won 1-0 on a goal by Paul Reaves. The next night the Owls faced the home team Soccer Cats. Wallace put on a demonstration of precision shooting as he twice found the right side of the net in a 2-1 victory. This win over last year ' s state champions earned the first-place trophy. Returning from their long road trip, the fatigued Owls lost a close match to (continued on page 74) Slide-tackling the Germantown center-halfback, center-forward Robert Wallace, second in scoring in the city, demonstrates defensive skills to complement his offensive ability.

Hustle like this was characteristic of the Owls as better conditioning allowed them to wear-out other teams. ■ : H I I m VARSITY SOCCER 73 ALMOST (continued) Germantown 3-2. The game was a physical battle as sixty fouls were committed and five yellow cards issued. The turning point of the season came against Harding, as trailing 2-0 at the half, MUS exploded for six goals to win the game 6-3. Mike Peeler scored four goals. The next game climaxed the season as the Owls met undefeated Christian Brothers at home. CBHS featured the premier offense in the state but the MUS defense — led by goalkeeper Shawn Snipes and fullbacks Lee McWaters, Rick Silverman, Angus Webber and Doug Pyne — turned in its best effort of the year to shut out the Brothers. MUS got the only goal it would need with just forty seconds left as Matthew Daniel scored off a pass from Webber. The Owls continued to roll the next six games, clinching the District and tuning up for the State. In the first round of the State tournament, MUS faced district-rival White Station. The Spartans proved no match for the Owl offense, which took 40 shots and tallied four. Controversy then hit as Angus Webber and Robert Wallace were dismissed from the team for violating a rule prohibiting club soccer. MUS regrouped against Craigmont in the quarterfinals but trailed in the second half until an injured Jeff Houston came off the bench to tie the score. With only 5 minutes left, an unmarked Craigmont midfielder hit a cross to teammate Greg Meyer, who placed the ball past Snipes for a 2-1 Craigmont victory. MUS was well represented on post- season honor teams, placing more people than any other team. Matthew Daniel, Lee McWaters and Michael Peeler were named to the All-Metro team. On the All-State team Webber and McWaters earned First team honors, Daniel Second team, Wallace Third team, and Paul Reaves was Honorable Mention. W allace set school records for scoring goals in a game, season, and career, while Snipes set records for saves and lowest goals- against-average. Smashing a Germantown attack, fullback Lee McWaters kicks away the ball while inflicting some pain on the Red Devil. McWaters ' quickness and aggressiveness were valuable not only on defense, his primary responsibility, but also on occasional offensive rushes. Sweeper Angus Webber goes high to knock the ball away and thwart another Germantown attack. Captain of the team, Angus was MVP in the Oak Ridge Invitational Tournament. Angus ' steady play anchors a stout defense, for he is known as a player who makes few mistakes. WUPHS W sSPP 74 SPORTS Head and shoulders above everybody else, center midfielder Matthew Daniel heads the ball clear, defusing a White Station attack. Heads up plays like this one insured a 2-1 win.

As an outside forward, Paul often used his speed to initiate fast breaks. VARSITY SOCCER 75 TT POTENT STINGY JV Soccer Team Rolls to 10-1 Record The Junior Varsity soccer team lived up to expectations by posting an impressive 10-1 record. Under the leadership of second-year coach Dr. Reginald Dalle, the Owls combined a stingy defense with a potent offense to clinch their division title. MUS overmatched its opponents during the season and rolled to many easy victories. The lone defeat came against St. Ann ' s when the Owls played sloppily in the first half, got frustrated, and lost the game 6-3. The only other close game was a one-point victory over the Evergreen team. Each squad ' s offense took turns scoring throughout the match until the score was tied 3-3. Then, with about ten minutes left in the game, freshman midfielder John Norris put a shot past the goalkeeper to break the deadlock, and the Owls held on to win 4-3. The defense was led by sophomores Kirk Van Dyke and Richard Werman along with freshman Brian Browder. The midfield, a stronghold for the Owls, was led by three freshmen — Jim Boals, John Norris, and Craig Nadel, who was the team ' s leading scorer with 20 goals. The forward line of freshman Chris Joe and sophomore Adam Segal also contributed to the scoring, with Joe ' s 14 goals the second highest on the team.

JV SOCCER 77 Fighting for extra yardage, tailback Jay Steed gets all he can from this carry. Jay got 72 yards and a touchdown against Briarcrest, as the Owls new I- formation rolled, 34-9. Always tough against the run, James Mojo Hudson (77) and Greg McGowan (62) smother the Briarcrest ball-carrier, while Parker Phillips (83) and Bob McEwan (67) hustle over to help out.

After the Saints ' opening drive, which ended in a field goal, Bobby Wade took the kickoff 52 yards to set up the first touchdown of the season, a 9-yard run by tailback Jay Steed. Starting quarterback Dede Malmo completed 5 of 10 passes for 104 yards. Reserve quarterbacks George Early and Andy Wright threw for touchdowns: Early 8 yards to Rob Sumner and Wright 8 yards to John Dobbs. Briarcrest was held to 158 total yards on offense by a stubborn Owl defense. MUS 38 Bartlett 12 A potent offense and a stingy defense produced win number two. Mixing rushing with passing (though passing seemed unnecessary), the Owls amassed 325 yards on the ground. Jay Steed had 1 1 7 of those yards on 1 5 carries; Andy McCarroll added 95 yards on 7 carries; Bobby Wade rambled for 109 yards on 1 1 carries. McCarroll and Wade each scored twice; Matthew Daniel had a 35-yard field goal. On defense Dede Malmo had two interceptions. MUS 6 Germantown 16 4th-ranked in AA, the Owls met the 3rd- ranked-in-AAA Red Devils in a tension- filled matchup. Taking the opening kickoff, the Owls marched deep into enemy territory, where the drive stalled. The Devils came back with a long drive of their own until they had the Owls backed up with a lst-down on the MUS five, but they were unable to score on 4 tries. Unable to mount a sustained offense, the Owls gave up 1 3 points in the first half. The second half was more of the same rugged defensive battle, with the Owls once more making an excellent goal-line stand; in the 4th quarter, vicious hits caused 3 Devil fumbles. The Owls scored a lone touchdown on a halfback pass from Jay Steed to flanker Scott Williams. 71 I 1 Filling the hole from his inside-linebacking position, J Bobby Wade (31) levels a Briarcrest runner as Bob McEwan (67) backs him up. Wade had 12 tackles to lead an aggressive defense. Late in the game the scoreboard tells the story as reserve tailback Michael Higginbotham races down the sidelines against the Saints. Airing it out, Dede Malmo (10) passes against Bartlett as Bobby Wade (31) circles out of the backfield. In their new-look I-formation, the Owls have demonstrated a balanced run pass attack.

The only bright spot on offense was Andy McCarroll ' s 127 yards on 16 carries. Bobby Wade anchored the defense with 1 2 tackles and a fumble recovery. MUS 20 Kirby 7 In the district opener against Kirby, the Owl offense sputtered in the first half, while the defense had trouble containing the explosive Cougars. MUS came to life with 2 seconds left in the half, when Dede Malmo lofted a 40-yard spiral to Scott Williams in the end zone and miraculously tied the game 7-7. With the momentum in their favor the Buzzards shut out Kirby in the second half and marched to a 20-7 victory. As usual the defense had many heroes: Wade with 13 tackles, Steed with 9, McEwan with 11, and Evans Jack with a fumble recovery that set up a touchdown. The hard-hitting Owls caused an amazing 7 fumbles and held Kirby to 143 total yards while the offense netted 268 total yards behind Wade ' s 1 1 3 yards on 1 6 carries. MUS 35 Catholic 7 After winning last year ' s single-A championship, Catholic felt that it could be a contender in this year ' s AA class. They were wrong. The Owls dominated the game from the kickoff, embarrassing local sportswriter Larry Rea who picked Catholic to win the district. The Owls gained 310 total yards while limiting Catholic ' s highly touted backfield to 8 1 yards. Andy McCarroll rushed for 104 yards while Malmo threw for 1 30. The game ' s standout was Parker Phillips, who had 2 big receptions for 69 yards, a TD, and 7 tackles. Bob McEwan also had 7 tackles, while Wade had 9. MUS 35 Bishop Byrne The hapless Red Knights could not contain the powerful Owl offensive line — James Carter, Evans Jack, Craig Witt, Bob McEwan and James Hudson — which blew hugh holes for the backs to run through. MUS rolled up 314 total yards behind Andy McCarroll ' s 169 yards on 18 carries and Bobby Wade ' s 83 yards and 4 TDs. Defensive standouts were Witt with 6 tackles, Jack with 8, Rob Sumner with 10 and McEwan with 1 1 tackles and an interception. MUS 21 Harding 10 The Buzzards faced a big test in the boys from Leisure who were making a serious bid in the District behind the strong throwing arm of David Escue. The key factor in this game turned out to be the MUS big men who held the Lions to 28 yards rushing, while gaining 233 yards on offense. Andy McCarroll took full advantage of his good blocking to gain a career high 221 yards on 27 carries. In fact, McCarroll was unstoppable as he ran around-the-ends, up-the-middle, and right over the Harding defense to score two touchdowns and break the 800-yard mark in rushing for the season. On defense Owen Tabor had 9 tackles, Steed 10 and Wade 13. Steed and Scott Williams each had an interception. Blasting through a gaping hole, Bobby Wade (3 1 ) gains yardage against Bishop Byrne while Rob Sumner (88) blocks. Wade scored 4 touchdowns in the Homecoming Game. Eluding the fallen blocker, Parker Phillips (83) closes in for the kill on the unwary Charger quarterback. Phillips made 7 tackles as MUS crushed Catholic 35-7. VARSITY FOOTBALL 81 v MUS 17 Collierville 7 The Owls dominated most of this game despite the score. Malmo led the attack with 6 completions for 75 yards while Wade wore down the Dragon defense with 121 yards on 21 carries. Overall MUS ground out 273 total yards while limiting Collierville to just 154 yards. The defensive heroes for the Owls proved to be James Hudson and Jay Steed. Hudson had 1 1 tackles while Steed added 13, many behind the line of scrimmage. With a strong showing in their last regular season game, the Buzzards propelled themselves into the state playoffs for the second straight year. MUS 35 Tech MUS faced a big hurdle when they lined up against the speedy Tech Yellowjackets. But the fired-up Buzzards steamrolled to an easy victory in the Regional championship. The Owls started things right by scoring on their first drive and never looked back as they overpowered the luckless Yellowjackets. McCarroll led the offense with 140 yards while Wade added 90 and Malmo threw for 79 more. The Owls racked up an impressive 353 total yards while holding Tech to just 140. The defense, led by Bob McEwan with 9 tackles and an interception, posted its second shutout of the season. MUS 17 Milan 16 In the most nerve-racking game of the season, the Owls squeaked past a tough Milan team and a string of bad luck. Things started off well as the Owls scored on a 37-yard field goal by Matthew Daniel, but MUS ' s luck soured as the first half progressed. Milan ' s first touchdown came as the result of a tricky guard- around play followed by a blocked punt which forced MUS to take a safety. After the resulting free kick Milan mounted a strong drive to score again. Trailing 16-3 at the half, the defense forced Milan to punt from deep in their own territory. Jay Steed catapulted in to block the punt into the Milan endzone for a safety. The Owls promptly scored a TD to make the score 16-11 going into the fourth quarter. With just 3 minutes left in the game and the ball at midfield, Steed snagged a Malmo pass and made a spectacular run to the Milan five-yard line. Two plays later Wade plunged through the right side of the line to make the score 17-16. The Owls hung on to win. 34 Briarcrest 9 38 Bartlett 12 6 Germantown 16 3 Tupelo 13 20 Kirby 7 35 Catholic 7 35 Bishop Byrne 21 Harding 10 17 Collierville 7 35 Tech 17 Milan 16 6 Brentwood 7 Austin-East 10 VARS ITY FOOTBALL (10-3 ) 9 District — 12 Region — 16 State — 1st 1st 2nd INDIVIDUAL STATS Passing: Malmo 47 completions, 107 attempts, 804 yards, 8 interceptions.

The Milan newspaper ran this picture on the front page, calling it The Flying Owl. Putting it through the uprights, Matthew Daniel kicks one of his five PATs against Tech. Matthew, borrowed from the Varsity Soccer team, brought a long-range dimension to the kicking game; he hit 37-yard field goals in two games and connected from 55 yards in practice. VARSITY FOOTBALL 83 When it rains, it pours: hampered by a swollen thumb, quarterback Dede Malmo ' s forceful fourth-quarter drive pulled MUS within three points of a state championship. Leaping high to deflect a sure Brentwood score, defensive back Jay Steed demonstrates the air-tight defense that shut out previously unbeaten Brentwood. Neither rain nor a fumbled snap nor the huge Austin-East defense could keep Bobby Wade from his appointment with destiny — the endzone of Vanderbilt ' s Dudley Field. 84 SPORTS II V UR FINEST HO URl Owls Shutout Eagles, Advance to Finals MUS 6 Brentwood In this tremendous defensive struggle, three-time State champs Brentwood Academy gained only 170 total yards while MUS could manage only 1 52. After stopping the potent Eagle offense a total of 8 downs inside the MUS 10- yard line, no one was surprised when Jay Steed made a spectacular catch in the fourth quarter to set up Wade ' s 1-yard TD. There were many heroes in this game: Bob McEwan had 20 tackles, the highest single-game performance of anyone all year. Owen Tabor turned in his best performance of the year with 13 tackles while Wade added 10. And Steed? Oh yeah. All he did was have 9 tackles and catch 3 passes for 73 yards, one of which set up the winning score. So ended Brentwood ' s 35-game winning streak. In the words of Brentwood head coach Carlton Flatt, I ' d hate to be beaten by a cheapie. And MUS is no cheapie. MUS 7 Austin-East 10 Luck just wasn ' t in the Owls ' corner on this incredibly wet day in Nashville as the state championship slid just out of reach. MUS fumbled the opening play from scrimmage, and things went downhill from there against an extremely quick Knoxville squad. The Owl offense fumbled repeatedly during the game, while Austin- East managed to hold on to the ball and capitalize on our mistakes. In the fourth quarter, the Buzzards mounted a charge, scoring on a 1-yard plunge by Bobby Wade, a score that had been set up by a determined run by Wade after taking a screen pass from an injured Malmo. But the score was too little too late as the year came to a bittersweet end. Did we win or did we lose? You ' d never know looking at th ese faces. Smiling through adversity, cheerleaders Elizabeth Pounders, Gay Daughdrill, and Ivy McPherson keep up the hopes of the thousands of Owl fans who braved a torrential downpour to see our first-ever state championship game. VARSITY FOOTBALL 85 GRITTY Freshmen Win With Spirit Teamwork Blessed with neither exceptional size nor speed, the freshmen Owls, coached by Mr. Don Walker and Mr. John Cady, posted a respectable 4-3 record with teamwork and excellent spirit. Only twenty-two players dressed out for the ninth grade; many of the players played both offense and defense during the entire game. Opening the season with AAA- powers Germantown and Bartlett, the smaller Owls were outmanned in two tough losses. After these games, Coaches Walker and Cady made changes in the offense, e.g., moving Ben Bullen to the backfield so that the basic formation became an L instead of an I . The result was wins over Briarcrest and Collierville. The Briarcrest game was close but closer than it should have been; the Owls had a touchdown disallowed because the referee blew the play dead thinking Bullen had the ball. Actually quarterback John Moore had faked the ball to Bullen, kept it himself, and was standing in the endzone with it. Against Collierville after a scoreless first half, the Owls mixed passing and running to score 21 points, and the defense shutout the Dragons. Against Harding, screen passes, a stout defense, and hard rushing produced victory. Four fumbles and an interception against Kirby hampered what otherwise was the best game of our season, according to Coach Walker. Coach Walker especially praised the play of Moore, rusher Walter Scott, back Brian Gannaway, end and kicker Jason Hughes, and linemen Dave Evans and Toby Sernel. Shouting instructions to the defense, Coach John Cady pumps up the team. Coach Don Walker seems unusually placid. It ' s a reverse against Bartlett with split-end Trey Bostick carrying the ball and guard Dave Evans leading the blocking. Quarterback John Moore, who just pitched the ball, is on the ground. 86 SPORTS Gang-tackling — Jack Ross (70), Ben Bullen (73), John Moore (12), Walter Scott (22), and Jason Hughes (41) introduce themselves to a 190-pound Bartlett tailback.

TRICKY 8th Grade Dusts Off Statue of Liberty Play Playing platoon football with a plethora of players, the eighth-grade football team marched to a 5-2 record, blanking their first three opponents. Dusting off the old Statue of Liberty play (they ran it 8 times during the season and scored 6 of those times), Coaches Dan Griffin, Curt Schmitt, and Guy Amsler allowed all the young players as much playing time as possible. After an opening win against Auburndale in which Coach Griffin started the second-string, quarterback Fred Schaeffer was hurt in a practice-scrimmage. Reserve QB Thomas Hussey got the call the rest of the season. Playing Ridgeway in a day game just before the Fall Fest, the baby Owls got 2 touchdowns from tailback Andrew McDermott to post an easy win. Defense came to the fore in the Kirby game as the Statue of Liberty play created enough margin for victory. In a tough game against Briarcrest, a long TD pass from Hussey to wideout Jon Van Hoozer at the end of the first half was all the team needed. After a terrible first half against Harding in which nothing went right, the Owlets played well enough to win, bu t they were too far behind to catch up. White Station and its highly touted tailback were no match for the 8th grade as Michael Skouteris dogged him all day, and Phillip McCaull scored 2 touchdowns. Defense was the key in the Kirby game.

Going into the holiday tournaments, the Owls were led by the outstanding play of Jim Barton, whose 27-points-per-game average, including a school record 42-point effort against White Station, ranked him among the best in the city. In the Josten tournament at Memphis Prep, the Owls defeated ECS 65-60 and Auburndale 65- 53 before losing to Briarcrest in the finals. Jeff Barry ' s play in the Josten ' s tournament proved to be the key for the Owls ' success as he averaged 20 points and almost 10 rebounds per game. Barton was equally impressive, averaging 20 points per game. In the East Memphis Classic the Owls defeated White Station 49-44 but lost in the semi-finals to CBHS despite Barton ' s 24 points. The team bounced back strong, however, and defeated Briarcrest 68-64 to avenge two earlier losses and claim 3rd place in the tournament. With a soft touch from the outside, Hunter Ivy shoots the short jumper in a win against Bishop Byrne at their gym. In your face! Jim Barton swats away this Charger shot as Joel Kaye looks on.

The Owls started District play on a strong note, defeating Collierville 70-57 and Harding 79-56, but ran into a brick wall in the Kirby Cougars who trounced the Owls 66-42. The Owls also lost a heartbreaker to Catholic in overtime but bounced back to beat Bishop Byrne 48-27. Midway through their district schedule the Owls took a trip to the Pond to face the Brothers once again. Led by the inside game of Jim Barton (24 points) and the dead-eye outside shots of Brent Turner and Jeff Barry (14 points each), the Owls prevailed 60-55 in overtime. Getting back into District play, the Owls beat Collierville on a last-second shot by Jeff Barry, who scored 28 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. The team then defeated Harding 81-68, Catholic 74-56, and Bishop Byrne 86-59, but lost again to the talented Kirby Cougars who won the regular season District championship with a 10-0 record. MUS finished second at 7-3. The Owls then won 2 of their next 3 games in a warm-up for the District Tournament, defeating Memphis Prep by 14 and Auburndale by 10 but losing to Briarcrest to end with an excellent regular-season record of 19-8. A scoring machine all season long, Jim Barton soars to the bucket in this District battle against Bishop Byrne. Driving down the lane, Joel Kaye takes it to the basket against Kirby. MUS couldn ' t contain the quick Cougars as the Owls took it on the chin 57-70. Kw ,i VARSITY BASKETBALL 95 r FINAL HORN 2nd in District, Advance to Regional MUS, second seed in the District Tourna- ment, met Catholic in the semifinals. Strong defensive pressure held Catholic to just 7 first-quarter points; the Owls led 37-18 at the half. MUS opened the lead to 61-37 after three quarters before coasting to the win. Jim Barton scored 31 points; Jeff Barry and Joel Kaye had 10 each. The Owls met Kirby in the finals, and for the third time this season came up short against the all-senior Cougars. (By the way, Kirby went on to win the State AA ti- tle.) Barton got 27 points. Barton and Barry were named to the regular season All-District teams as Bar- ton made first team and Barry made se- cond. Barton and Kaye were named to the District All-Tournament team. Advancing to the Regional tournament, MUS faced the Frayser Rams, fell behind early, never caught up, and lost 86-61 . Despite 31 points from Barton and 12 points apiece from Barry and Kaye, the Owls ' season came to an end. Jim Barton set a new school record for most points in a single season with 729 points. He was named All-District, first team All-Metro, AP Class AA All-State Honorable Mention, and Sports Writers All-State second team. Shooting over Bryan Brown of Kirby, Jeff Barry makes this ten-footer to keep the Owls close. MUS played Kirby at Kirby even for three quarters before losing to the talented, senior-laden Cougars. Running the fast break to perfection, point-guard Dede Malmo dishes off to Joel Kaye filling the left lane. 96 SPORTS Filling it up from the outside, Jim Barton hits for two against Harding ' s Lions. With many 20+ point games this year, Jim set school records for scoring in a game (42 points) and a season (729 points). VARSITY BASKETBALL 97 NEW COACH, DEEP BENCH Coach Counce and Team Depth Lead JV to 16-8 Season In his first year as coach, Mr. Mark Counce led the junior varsity Owls to a 16-8 season, citing good players on the bench as the main reason for the JV ' s success: I am able to use any of the ten JV athletes at any point in the game because each of them can rebound, run the fast break, and set the pace of any game with the best teams around. The JV team was indeed made up of role-players. Sophomores Jim Kelley and Hal Moffett were noted for their shooting; fellow sophomore Ben Daniel and juniors Joel Sklar and Alex Bruce were cited for their rebounding. Sophomores Eb LeMaster and Bo Allen were recognized for their consistent all- around play. The real scoring thrust was composed of sophomores Gregg Mitchell and David Chancellor. Mitchell was the team ' s dominant force during December and most of January when Chancellor was out due to an injury. Mitchell averaged 14.1 points a game, to be the team ' s leading scorer; he was also the leading rebounder. The Owls started strong, winning three of their first four. Following a narrow loss to Briarcrest, the Owls won seven of their next eight, putting together one of their best efforts against East, avenging an earlier loss. Also included in this streak were impressive wins over Catholic and CBHS. The Owls then dropped three of their next four, but they got back on the winning track against Bishop Byrne in a game in which Mitchell poured through thirty points. The Owls knocked off CBHS 48-39 in the first round of the East Memphis JV Classic but faltered in the semifinals, losing a close two-point game to Ridgeway. Taking a break from the tournament to play the warm-up game for the Varsity, the JV destroyed an overmatched Auburndale team by a 54-point margin. Returning to Classic competition, MUS faced Kirby in the consolation finals. Unable to contain the agile Cougars, the Owls lost a heart- breaker to finish fourth out of eight teams in the tournament.

The season opened on a resounding note with a win over CBHS. The team shot 53% from the field, led by Wade Harrison ' s 19 points and Richard Hussey ' s 8 rebounds . In a second-game loss against Collierville, a four-corners spread offense ga ve the Owls fits, and we shot only 12% from the field. Bouncing back with a streak of seven wins, the team thrashed a Bishop Byrne outfit and had two wins over Briarcrest. Led by eighth-grader Fred Schaeffer, the Owls overcame a first-quarter deficit of 1 1 to 2 against Kirby and pulled to within two at half. In the Sparkplug point guard John Moore puts up a fastbreak baseline jumper for two points in the overtime win over Kirby. A tight 2-1-2 zone with pressure on the ball by Richard Hussey (10) frustrates the Grace St. Luke ' s player. GSL stayed thwarted all afternoon in an easy win, as Brian Browder (15) and Will Sharp (22) fill the passing lanes. second half, John Moore dished off five assists and made two steals to cap a four-point win. The intensity and aggressiveness of Moore, Hussey, and Kyle King wer e inexorable in the latter part of the season as the ninth grade won five of six games to end the regular season. In a revenge win over Collierville, the Owls scored on the opening tip and never let the Dragons get into their four-corners offense. Harrison had 20 points and 1 1 rebounds. Against Kirby in our gym, an overtime win was possible because the Owls went 10 of 10 from the foul line, including 6 by Moore. Following solid wins in the District tournament over Harding and Briarcrest, the Owls lost a close one to an impressive Bolton group. 9th BASKETBALL 101 Slipping in the back door for an easy two points, Danny Grinder completes a well-executed play with a lay-up.

MUS struggled at the start of the season, dropping three of the first four games. The Owls rebounded from these defeats and, despite the loss of Michael Skouteris and Thomas Hussey to injuries, rolled to a five- game winning streak. The string of victories got started against Memphis Prep 42-38 as forwards Philip McCaull and Kevin Tilley scored 16 and 12 points while point-guard Jason Peters added 9 points. Also included among the wins was an impressive 46-22 defeat of St. Louis at home as guard Jon Van Hoozer led the scoring with 1 5 points and McCaull tallied 10. The team went into a slide during the middle of the season, losing four of five games despite the emergence of Kevin Tilley as a leading rebounder. Rotating between center and forward, Tilley was aggressive on the boards and added an inside scoring punch to the team with 1 1 points in the loss to Briarcrest and 18 in the setback against St. Dominic. Backed by Andrew McDermott ' s 44 points through the next four games, MUS put together four wins to close out the regular season and head into tournament play. In the Shelby League Tournament held at Towering Oaks, the Owls ran past Woodland 76-41 , but lost for the third time of the year to rival Briarcrest 42-36 despite McCaull ' s 12 points and the return to form of Thomas Hussey, who had 9 points. MUS clinched third-place in the tournament with a three- point win over Auburndale in the consolations. Next up for the eighth grade Owls was the Madonna Tournament hosted by St. Louis School. After blasting Holy Rosary, the team dropped two to finish in fourth place. Utilizing a swarming pressure defense, Will Stratton (14), Michael Skouteris (31), and Taylor Work (41) surround the ECS player.

The team finished the season on a strong note: taking 3rd in the District, qualifying ten out of twelve for the Regional, and sending six wrestlers to the State Tournament in Nashville. After early season losses to CBHS and Bishop Byrne, the grapplers reeled off seven straight wins, including a 43-21 revenge victory over the Brothers. Against Raleigh-Egypt, MUS suffered a severe blow when rapidly improving Jim Cole was lost for the year with torn cartilage in his knee. Len Hardison missed much of the season while fighting mononucleosis, but came back in time for the District. Adam Kriger and Chris Sands were also injured during part of the year, Kriger with a separated shoulder and Sands a broken wrist. Despite these injuries, the balance of the team carried it to fine showings in tournaments. At the Millington Invitational, MUS placed ten wrestlers as the Owls took third place overall. Chris Sands (145 lbs.) took first place in his weight class; Donald Austin (138 lbs.) and Chris Sullivan (167 lbs.) both took 2nd places; Cliff Goldmacher (105 lbs.) and Adam Kriger (126 lbs.) each finished third; fourth places were earned by Jim Cole (119 lbs.), Chris Ledes (132 lbs.), Brian Gannaway (155 lbs.) and James Hudson (unlimited); Greg McGowan (185 lbs.) also took a fifth place. In the District Tournament held at MUS, the Owls finished in 3rd place and once again placed ten wrestlers: Goldmacher, 3rd; Hardison, 3rd; Kriger, 4th; Ledes, 2nd; Austin, 4th; Sands, 2nd; Sullivan, 2nd; Will James (167 lbs.), 3rd; McGowan, 4th; and Hudson, 4th. Finishing in 5th place in the Regional Tournament at Germantown, Goldmacher took 3rd; Hardison, 4th; Sands, 3rd; Sullivan, 2nd; James, 4th; and McGowan, 3rd. These six qualified for the State Tournament in Nashville. Displaying perfect tripod form, Adam Kriger prepares to pin his prey with a near-side cradle.

Trip to State Finals Caps 25-Year Career f After 25 years of dedicated service to Memphis University School, Jake Rudolph has established himself as one of the finest high school coaches in Tennessee. We pay tribute to Coach Rudolph not only for his outstanding success as a coach but also for his fine influence in the lives of hundreds of students. Before joining the staff in 1959, Coach Rudolph was an outstanding player at Georgia Tech, where he played in the Orange Bowl in 1952 and the Sugar Bowl in 1953. While at Tech he was selected to play on the Colliers Specialists Ail-American Team. While serving in the Air Force, Coach Rudolph played on and coached two championship teams in Europe. He came to MUS from Darlington school in Rome, Georgia, where he had coached one year. Coach Rudolph ' s career record of 172- 86-3 is even more remarkable considering the fact that MUS played the largest schools in the city and county during the ' 60s and ' 70s, when the number of MUS students varied from 100-200. The 1967 team called MUS ' s greatest ever, rolled to a perfect 10-0 record and the school ' s first-ever county championship, resulting in the first of two trips to the Little Cotton Bowl. The Owls then switched to the prestigious Big- 10 Conference, seeing great success for seven years. In 1977, the Owls saw state playoff action for the first time, reaching the semifinals before falling to State Champ Milan. In 1980, MUS again reached the semifinals before losing to the eventual state champs, Brentwood Academy. The Owls ' climb to the 1983 State Championship game, including a stunning revenge, wins over Brentwood and Milan, indeed highlighted Jake Rudolph ' s spectacular 25-year career. Newly arrived from the Darlington School in Georgia, Jake Rudolph assumes command as head coach in May of 1959. After the thrilling victory over Brentwood in 1983, Coach Rudolph is hoisted off the field by his team to celebrate perhaps the greatest win in MUS football history. 106 SPORTS Jake Rudolph, Ga.

Nowadays it ' s, Bring a pencil, paper, your textbook, and a calculator to my class every day. In less than a decade, the pocket calculator has changed from a novelty gadget for the rich to an everyday tool for businessmen, housewives, and students. The Math Department and the Science Department have recognized the usefulness of the calculator and have adapted their courses to incorporate this time-saving machine. The calculator handles impossible fractions and square roots with ease, taking part of the burden away from Algebra IPs quadratic equation, Calculus ' s integrals, Chemistry ' s heat of formation per mole, and Physics ' particle acceleration. Calculators help teachers as well as students, because more emphasis can be placed on the understanding of concepts as opposed to time- consuming arithmetic. Grass-roots movements stressing the three R ' s condemn the calculator, claiming that it is the source of lower mathematic proficiency. But, as one quickly learns in Computer Science, a computer or a calculator is only as smart as its programmer. Utilizing one of the computer lab ' s 1 5 computers, Kirk Inglis and Robert Hollabaugh complete thei r programming homework. Absorbing data into his limitless mind, junior Andrew Babian takes in Mrs. Christa Warner ' s lecture on limits in AP Calculus.

This advanced chemistry course is taught by Mr. Jerrold Omundson, Chairman of the Science Department. Because of the size of the class, James and Angus can progress at an accelerated rate and still receive plenty of personal attention from their instructor. Of course, it is impossible to hide in the back of the class when unprepared for the day ' s lesson, but the students do not seem to mind keeping on their toes. Designing his own bends a glass lube exercise. Angus Webber stry laboratory MATH SCIENCE 111 ENGLISH LANGUAGES Speaking in Tongues Communication is the key. The English Department and the Foreign Languages Department emphasize not mere literacy, but communication, the ability to express one ' s ideas and feelings. Vocabulary is an important tool of expression, and from seventh-grade Vocab classes to Junior English Review and beyond, vocabulary courses build the student ' s repertoire of words. In the first several years of French, Latin, and Spanish, the building blocks of vocabulary and grammar serve as the bases for compositions in later years. In English classes, entertaining literature is the subject of essays and term papers, which are exercises in communicating ideas, or theses. Once the basics are learned, Foreign Language classes move from What time is it? and How ' s the weather? to real communication with feeling. English electives such as Man ' s Search and 20th Century Lit offer articulate young gentlemen the opportunity for literate expression. With great vigor, Mr. William Hatchett leads a discussion of Shakespeare ' s acting career.

One of these electives, War and Literature, provides a college- type course in a high-school setting. Taught by Mr. Lin Askew, the course explores the nature of war and its effects on man through the examination of war literature. The class offers entertaining readings, including Lysistrata by Aristophanes, Troilus and Cressida by Shakespeare, The Red Badge of Courage by Crane, poetry from Bierce, All Quiet on the Western Front by Remarque, A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway, and Catch-22 by Heller. In addition to receiving the personal attention that a high school affords, the War and Literature student also enjoys the college atmosphere that our school fosters. Active student participation comes as a relief to pupils accustomed to pure lecture. The understanding of bawdy Old Comedy, courtly love, the Great Chain of Being, naturalism, nihilism, the Hemingway code, the anti-hero, and absurdism b ecomes useful for appreciating the themes of the entertaining readings. Active student participation is vital to a thorough education. War and Literature is an elective that encourages students such as Robert Hollabaugh to vocalize their opinions. ENGLISH LANGUAGES 113 HISTORY RELIGION Man and His Ideas The History and Religion Departments offer a variety of courses on the development of man and his ideas. Each student is required to take an Old Testament history course as a seventh grader, a New Testament survey as a ninth grader, and a religion elective as a junior or senior. The History Department demands only that a student take American History and one unit of another department course, offering optional courses such as Ancient and Medieval History and Modern European History. Department chairman Mr. Mike Deaderick ' s history electives, U.S. Military History and America since 1939, are becoming increasingly popular, especially because they are now co-ed. The History Department also sends students to various history contests. Last spring a group of American and European history students tied for first with McCallie at the Tennessee Congress of Historians contest at Murfreesboro. History scholars also distinguished themselves last year at the Memphis State History contest where seven MUS students won awards for projects and papers. Coach Craig Schmidt laughs cynically as his students question his right to make them responsible for labeling every city and river in the world. Freshman Lee Nelson breathes a sigh of relief when he learns that Coach Cady has decided not to read his Bible essay aloud. Senior Doug Rayburn grimaces in disgust while a fellow military history student ridicules his battle map. 114 ACADEMICS A Second Schmitt Though the spellings are different, MUS has now acquired for its faculty a Schmidt and a Schmitt. Mr. Curt Schmitt, joining Mr. Craig Schmidt, came as a teacher of comparative religion and Lower School Bible. Mr. Schmitt has revolutionized the approach to religion courses through his comparative religion course. Taught much like a college course, the class meets each day in conference style, seated around tables in the library seminar room. Daily readings are assigned to encourage thought and class discussion to go along with lecture. Adding to the college-like nature of the course spurred by the philosophical readings and discussions, Mr. Schmitt gives no quizzes, relying on the students ' initiative to come adequately prepared for class discussions. Mr. Schmitt begins the study of comparative religion with an examination of the trends of modern theology and then branches out into a study of seven major religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Believing that students have already attained an extensive knowledge of Christianity, Mr. Schmitt gives it a secondary emphasis in the course. in the existentialist tradition, Mr. Curt Schmitt addresses the student body in a Wednesday chapel session.

HISTORY RELIGION 1 15 The Ultimate The Humanities course has often been called the ultimate MUS class, and this title is largely due to the flexible nature of the course. Taught by Mr. Jim Russell, the Humanities class may be taken for either an English credit, a history credit, or a fine arts credit. The course is a history of man and the arts from the Classical Age of Greece, through the Renaissance and Reformation, up to the modern era. Included are literary works representative of the periods studied; these works serve as the focus of essays designed to continue the development of writing skills. Every other week, students are required to submit journals, in which they write about experiences they have had, write poetry or short stories, write about current events, or write about anything that they wish to express. The text book may sometimes become rather tedious, but in class, Mr. Russell ' s dynamic teaching style keeps a firm hold on student interest. Audio-visual materials are used profusely, the most noted of which is the Civilisation series, written and narrated by the late Lord Kenneth Clark. The course, available to some forty- five seniors, is the closest thing to a college class that the school offers. Discussing his slides of Rubens ' paintings, Mr. Jim Russell encourages his Humanities class to give their views on Baroque art. Taking advantage of the Fine Arts facilities, Erik Odeen attempts to play the piano while John Fulton sings. FINE ARTS 16 ACADEMICS fe Enjoying the best of both worlds, art and music. Travis Boyle inconspicuously listens to his Walkman while working on his art project at the same time. FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Mr. Anthony Williams, Chairman 7 Art — Bowman Art I, II — Bowman Cnoral Music — Williams Humanities — Russell 7 Music — Williams 8 Music — Williams Choir Jams The MUS-Hutchison Mixed Chorus appeals to many students because of the enjoyment of singing for credit and because of the company of the charming Hutchison ladies. The chorus, directed by Mr. Anthony Williams, is indeed adorned by attractive females, but students who think that the singing is easy are deceived. A tremendous amount of work goes into preparing for chapel programs, concerts and competitions, from which they always walk away with the highest honors. In February, the choir brought back the highest of honors from the Solo and Ensemble Contest held in Memphis at Craigmont High School. The choir succeeds in making the singing look easy. 1 Disappointed by the cancellation of the Choir Tour, the Choral group continues to practice diligently for concerts and competitions. FINE ARTS 117 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Let ' s Get Physical  An integral part of one ' s high school career is physical education — for those who do not participate in school athletics, that is. Many find the activities to be fun and challenging: aerobics, basketball, flag-football, softball, wrestling, cross-country, tennis, soccer, swimming, and weekly workouts. Although many students would prefer to have a free period, they realize that the purpose of PE is to keep them in good physical condition. There are some aspects to PE which discourage students — for example, the physical fitness test. This is a grueling two-day workout which consists of a chin-up test, sit-up test, shuttle-run test, 100- yd. dash, and one-mile run. This test is administered the first week of class to encourage the students to improve their skills. The test is then readministered at the end of the school year so that the student can see how much he has improved his physical condition. It is then the student realizes the purpose of taking PE. Stretching along with Suzy, Diane, and Cindy, the PE class gets in shape with the girls from The 20-Minute Workout. Lined up information, the Lower Schoolers await their doom in another Coach Walker PE class. Laughing sadistically, Justin Mitchell stretches his partner ' s muscles beyond their breaking point. 118 ACADEMICS Seniors Assist in PE One aspect unique to MUS is the PE assistant program. Seniors take part in this program working as assistants in either Lower School or Upper School PE classes. Their service is well-received by Mr. Bobby Alston and Mr. Don Walker. The assistants usually act as supervisors in the class. They referee games, take roll, take part in the activity, and help the instructor in whatever needs to be done. The senior receives a full credit for his service because of the demanding work. He also earns respect from many of the underclassmen and coaches. If it were not for the Senior PE assistants, the coaches would find it difficult running the big classes by themselves. Directing Lower Schoolers on the fine art of basketball, PE assistant Kevin Parker gives instruction for the lay-up drill. Rounding the bend, Kevin Johnson finishes the indoor running workout on a rainy day. Checking the roll, Senior Rob Sumner carries out one of the many duties of a PE assistant. PHYSICAL EDUCATION 1 19 CO-ED CO-ED CLASSES Make the Day Rising juniors and seniors eager to add excitement to their curriculum try to fit a co-ed class into their schedules when signing up for classes in the spring. After a dateless summer, students anxiously await the arrival of a few nervous Hutchison girls who bravely venture into the male-dominated halls of MUS for the co-ed experience. After a few weeks the thrill of having girls in class begins to wane. Wary men begin to wonder about the co-ed system. After all, isn ' t it the same group of girls who come over for all the co-ed classes? (We all know who they are.) Besides, all the girls worth getting to know spend their time flirting with guys who are higher on their social prominence scale than you are. By mid-October many students who started the year with high hopes begin to wonder whether it was worth it to risk their grade- point-average taking Humanities just to be in a co-ed class. Nevertheless, for many students co- ed classes are the bright spots in their days. Popular mixers include Humanities, Psychology, and Choral Music. These classes make the school appear less a monastery and keep students aware of their appearance instead of rushing to school each morning with wrinkled shirts and uncombed hair. A group of Choral Music students diligently practice for their upcoming Christmas concert. Freshman Brian Browder works on a conductivity lab in Chem-Phys class as nonchalantly as he can. 120 ACADEMICS Boasting of his piano-playing skill, Albert Alexander tries to impress Suzanne Ray in Chemistry class. MUS Talent Shines on Hutch Stage The co-ed connection doesn ' t end when school ends. Students who want to get involved in an extracurricular activity can try out for a play at MUS or Hutchison. Many MUS students were in the Hutchison play Cinderella directed by Rob Jolly. With a cast ratio of 1 5 guys to 94 girls, Cinderella was an excellent chance for MUS students to work with Hutchison students outside the classroom. In the play, a musical adaption of the fairy tale, Jeff Breazeale played the prince opposite Lacey Wadlington as Cinderella and Hudson Adams played the herald, who opened the show with a musical number. Edward Felsenthal, Ned Reaves, Ian Jones, Todd Eckler, Ryan Riggs, Fred Hidaji, Salil Parikh, Adam Aronson, Chris Donovan, and Gregg Landau appeared as townspeople. Jeff Breazeale said of the play, It was a lot of fun to do. I got to meet a lot of cute girls. Do I love you because you ' re beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Lacey Wadlington and Jeff Breazeale sing to each other in practice for the Finale of Cinderella. Rehearsing the show-stopping ballroom scene, Fred Nidaji teaches his dance partner the waltz. SB RK ) LB! S CO-ED 121 LOWER SCHOOL OUR LATIN HERITAGE La puella est pulchra, recites each eighth-grader after his first session of Latin I. This course is part of the age- old tradition at the school. Latin I, although many of the Lower School students dread the course, is a very good foundation for other language and vocabulary courses in the Upper School. When the student graduates into the Upper School, he then realizes the usefulness of this classical language as an aid in learning the foreign language he wishes to pursue. Not only does Latin I help the student in another foreign language, it also helps the student strengthen his own vocabulary. When taking a standardized test such as the SAT, he is able to use his root words from Latin I to help him make an educated guess for the definition of some strange word. Although the eighth-graders do not realize the importance of Latin I, they readily begin to appreciate this foundation when they reach the Upper School. Diligently studying for yet another one of Mrs. Betty Jo Higgs ' famous pop tjzzes, eighth-grader Paul Mercer reviews his amor conjugations. % N 122 ACADEMICS Changing the pace of Lower School life by having her class travel to the Upper School, Dr. Jane Caldwell reminds her students of the advantage of meeting in the Upper School: quick access to the lunch room. Newsweek Most students dread the thought of taking a course designated Vocabulary. However, through the efforts of the English teachers in the Lower School, Vocabulary has been made enjoyable. What makes the course better than the average Vocabulary course is the text used: Newsweek Magazine. Each week, Mr. Terry Shelton or Mr. Flip Eikner picks an article from the magazine and chooses twenty words which the students are responsible to define from the text of the article and from their dictionaries. Not only do the students learn the meaning of the words in the context of the article, but they also become more aware of world events. The students are more inclined to read the assignment and to participate in class discussions. For the few who find the Newsweek Vocabulary course dull and tedious, they soon think otherwise when they reach Word Wealth in their freshman year and the 12-lesson vocabulary handout in their junior year. Captivated by an article about the Winter Olympics, Greg Rhodes chooses not to fall asleep in Vocabulary Class. LOWER SCHOOL 123 FREE PERIODS Freedom Of Choice Ahhh — the ectasy of knowing that one has fifty-five minutes at one ' s disposal, to utilize or waste in whichever fashion one pleases. Either to find a quiet place on campus in which to actually study or to joke with friends in the lounge is up to each individual. Because of our Honor System, we are entrusted with the responsibility of managing our own free time. Whether one prefers to torment the librarians, shoot buckets, or talk and study in the foyer, the freedom of choice is there. This freedom is a tremendous relief to freshmen, who only a year earlier had been confined to study halls. Some Upper Schoolers have supervised study sessions, too, but this privilege is earned by inadequate grades. Free periods, spent either working or playing, are the benefits that stem from the spirit of trust promoted by the Honor System. The Hyde Library provides an atmosphere conducive to studying as sophomore Jonathan Ringel discovers as he diligently tries to finish an English paper minutes before the bell. Clowning around, senior Jared McStay shows Johnny Crews and David Graw why the lounge is not the place to study. The blaring radio and noisy conversations tend to prevent work from getting done. 124 ACADEMICS W £ •: ■ ' ' • . ' . ' ,,r ' .. Free periods are not restricted to the indoors; here senior Jeff Breazeale takes advantage of a sunny day to brush up on his Precalculus assignment. L Where Did All the Time Go? I was going to actually study this free period. I was. You see, I have a history test in five minutes, and I really needed to do some cramming because my study time last night was cut short by Monday Night Football. But my plans to study during my free fifty-five minutes were foiled. First I had to find John, who had my notes. I went to the gym because someone said he was there; he wasn ' t there but a whole bunch of guys were shooting buckets and needed me to make the teams even. I said that I had a history test to study for, but a couple of kids who are in the class that took the test yesterday said that it was really easy. So we played a quick game to ten and then I went to the lounge. John wasn ' t there, either, but 1 had to have a Coke and a Hostess Cup-Cake because I hadn ' t any breakfast. As I passed through the foyer, I had to wrestle Jim to the ground and make him eat part of the carpet. Mr. Peters told me to tuck my shirt in, which I did after stopping by the water fountain. I finally found John in the library, and at the instant he handed me my history notes, the bell rang.

The Student Council, headed by Bob McEwan, showed the student body one of its best years ever. Already hard at work last summer, Council members attended a convention at Davidson College and held three car washes and one garage sale. After new-student orientation, the Council sponsored the victory dance, Fall Fest, Watermelon Feast, and Football Homecoming after a triumphant but wet win over Bishop Byrne. Starting off the new year with a showing of High Anxiety, the council then held Basketball Homecoming and exchanged Val-o-grams with St. Mary ' s and Hutchison. Spring brought about Student Exchange Day, Careers Day, and appreciation days for Mr. Thorn, the faculty, and the c ustodians. Following the talent show, the Student Council ended the year with the Spring Formal. Held at the Racquet Club, it displayed the class with which the Council has operated all year. To close out the year, the Student Council set a precedent by making a sizeable donation to the school endowment fund. Council members Jason Hughes, Brian Gannaway, Angus Webber, and Bob McEwan gave this car and many others a thorough cleaning at the three car washes sponsored by this year ' s student council.

The honor system sets MUS apart from other comparable schools; for through it, students agree not to lie, cheat, or steal. When someone violates this pledge, students themselves decide what actions are necessary, through the elected officers of the Honor Council. We receive many privileges through the honor system. We do not have to put locks on our lockers. We can lay books or coats down in the halls and know that they will be there when we return. We benefit from the sense of trust between students and faculty. Overall, the honor system attempts to shape us into trustworthy people. Violations sometimes occur, however, and the Honor Council must judge these cases and determine punishments. President Pat Schaefer and vice-president David Elkin led a Council that had to deal with the normal number of cases, most involving cheating. Schaefer stated, Academic pressure is hard at MUS, but we ' ve tried to assure that every student respects the work of others and that people realize that studying is the right alternative to cheating. Rick Fogelman views John Fulton ' s overflowing locker. MUS students know that their possessions will be safe in conveniently unlocked lockers. During a Wednesday morning chapel speech, Pat Schaefer urges students to properly prepare for upcoming exams and to avoid the temptation of cheating.

NO GLORY Students often take their yearbooks for granted, unaware of the thousands of hours sacrificed to produce it. Every picture you see has to be conceived, ordered, photographed, developed, printed, cropped to size, and stamped; every set of copy and every caption must be researched, written, proofread, typed, and proofread again; and every two-page spread must be conceived, laid out, proofread by the editor, and approved by the advisor, all under the pressure of a tight deadline. In April 1983, while everyone else succumbed to spring fever, Mark Hamer and his Annual section editors undertook the herculean task of creating a yearbook. First of all, Hamer worked with Mr. Ellis Haguewood, the yearbook Advisor, to develop the book ' s theme, From One End to the Other, while Sports Editor Doug Pyne and Student Life Editor Angus Webber began covering spring events. While their classmates idled away the summer holidays, Hamer, Pyne and Webber labored to meet the October color deadline. From June 20th to 23rd, they and Jeff Breazeale attended the Ole Miss Yearbook Camp. As the school year rolled around, the other section editors tackled their duties in full force, striving successfully to meet the November 21 deadline. As you probably guessed, the Christmas holiday snowdrifts could not lure the dedicated yearbook workers away from their duties as they struggled to meet the painful January 7 mailing date. With three deadlines under their belts, the final shipping date of February 25 was a piece of cake. Laughing together for the first time all year, Photography Editor Bill Cole and Editor-in-Chief Mark Hamer spend one of their many 9 to 5 Saturdays in the publications wing downstairs.

ANNUAL 133 Newspaper OHM Returns, Involvement Soars Establishing itself as one of the largest student organizations on campus, the Owl ' s Hoot had a year characterized by remarkable student participation and interest. The staff included 85 members, more than 22 percent of the entire Upper School. Under the leadership of editor Edward Felsenthal, the Hoot grew in ways beyond student participation, including the use of the computer in several issues. The staff published eight issues, including the OHM, the Owl ' s Hoot Magazine, after an absence of four years. Much of this growth was made possible through the more than $3000 in advertising raised over the summer by business manager Adam Kriger. Columns such as Mystery Poet, Frankly Speaking, Evenings with Evans, and Len ' s Losers enhanced the paper, along with features such as MAD vs. MASH, Beale Street, Logan Young, Cablevision, Fred Smith, Tom Stein, and Monday Night Wrestling.

Our cheerleaders and yell leaders travelled through Memphis and across the state supporting our athletic teams, cheering them on to victory. Led by captain Meg Byers, the cheerleading squad began practice in the summer and ventured to Arkansas State University cheerleading camp, where they received a superior rating and were named one of the top five teams. They then came home to join the yell leaders for more than 60 cheering events. The yell leaders, under captain Evans Jack and assistant captain Rick Fogelman, sold hats and buttons and worked with the cheerleaders in making signs for the school and stadium. Together they planned and produced five football and three basketball pep rallies. Under the direction of Mr. Phillip Eikner, the pep band rose to new heights. After weeks of diligent practice the band performed harmoniously at pep rallies and football games.

Under president Hunter Ivy and advisor John Cady, the group organized monthly morning breakfasts with speakers and, for the first time, a cookout with other area schools ' FCA groups. Also, the eighty- member group went midnight bowling and sponsored a hayride to end the year. President Ricky Fogelman led the Civic Service Club to one of its best years by making the largest-ever donation to the Evergreen Presbyterian Church Food Pantry. Besides the successful can drive, the club also sponsored two blood drives and brought fifteen kids from the Boys ' Club of Memphis to the Fall Fest. The club topped off the year with Charity Week, which included the Rock-a-thon, School Fast, Senior Pizza Pigout, and the Talent Show. Donating the proceeds to charity, the club once again displayed its strong support for the community.

FCA, CIVIC SERVICE 139 Government Club Weekend Politicans Memphis government, Tennessee State Legislature, National Government, the United Nations — students learned more about these institutions and politics in general by joining the Government Club or Youth-in- Government Club, or by heading off to Washington on the CloseUp program. The Government Club, under president Jeff Breazeale and advisor Mr. Michael Deaderick, co-sponsored the Model United Nations at Southwestern, a task requiring months of work. Twenty students representing four countries — Israel, France, West Germany, and Poland — attended the three-day event. Club members also attended the mayoral debate, sponsored by CloseUp, and Focus Memphis, a local politics program. The Hutchison-MUS Youth-in- Government Club, led by president Mark Hamer and advisor Mrs. Dana McKelvy, ventured to the Nashville Youth Legislature, where members presented and supported potential bills. Club member Bill McKelvy ran for youth governor during the event, and months of meetings and preparation paid off for all. For an insider ' s view of the National Government, students could take off for Washington, D.C., on the CloseUp program. MUS sent two groups, one in the spring and one in the fall of 1983, and on these week-long trips students learned about foreign policy and the branches of the U.S. government through extensive lectures and seminars.

HONOR CLUBS 147 Photography, Darkroom, CCTV Unseen Heroes Photography, darkroom, and CCTV staff members are some of the most important yet least recognized people around school, for they are the backbone of all school publications, numerous in-class films, and sports films. Under the leadership of photography editor Bill Cole, the photography staff provided the pictures for the annual and the newspaper. During the year they took over 200 roles of film, amounting to over 5000 pictures. They spent hundreds of hours at almost every school event fulfilling photo orders from annual and newspaper editors. The darkroom staff, headed by editor Bob Thompson, developed all of the film that the photography staff used, and they printed the , pictures that publications editors needed, which meant over 2000 prints. Every picture that students saw, as well as many unused prints, was a product of the darkroom. CCTV director Stewart Austin programmed the school ' s video systems to play each day ' s order of classroom tapes, lounge movies, and films. Austin also worked with the library in producing MUS information and promotional films. The library spent $35,000 this year to replace faulty cable, buy new color cameras and a special effects generator, and to increase video output quality. CCTV director Stewart Austin prepares to film a Friday morning pep rally for an MUS promotional film.

On the traditional side, the Chess Club under president Andrew Babian held a chess tournament and allowed members to improve their skills during or after school. The Backgammon Club, led by Adam Aronson, organized the fourth annual Big Bad Bob ' s Backgammon Bonanza, which drew over forty students. Players could be found in heated matches throughout the school year. Medieval Strategy Club members, led by Alex Bruce, battled ores, goblins, and trolls during prolonged sessions of Dungeons and Dragons lasting late into the night. The computer club did not break into the national defense computer and play global thermonuclear war, but they did share programs and offer helpful computer advice. The Vietnam Club did play war games on Johnny Barringer ' s farm. Led by president James Carter, members watched and discussed war movies and documentaries, and they held mock battles with BB guns. During a Computer Club meeting, Stewart Waller prepares to copy a war-game program onto his disk. GAMKSCLUBS 151 Outdoors Clubs Wild Ones Many students sought relief from city and school pressures by joining outdoors clubs and retreating into the wilderness around Memphis. The Sailing Club, under president Donald Austin, spent warm weekends cruising Arkabutla Lake in Donald ' s 16-foot Hobie Cat. During the off-season, the club held sailing parties at Frank Watson ' s house. The Ski Club, led by Tommy Cooke, sponsored the second annual spring vacation ski-fling to Aspen, where club members honed their snow- skiing skills. The club also frequented nearby lakes during the warm months for water skiing. Outdoors Club president Kimbrough Taylor organized well-attended fishing tournaments at Horseshoe Lake, and when the lakes froze over, club members brought out their shotguns for duck hunts.

The French Club, under president Chris Crosby, sampled treats from La Baguette, saw an exhibit on French Impressionism at Brooks Art Gallery, and had Dr. Dalle speak on French culture. The Spanish Club, composed of members from both MUS and Hutchison, held its annual banquet at El Chico ' s restaurant. Hosting a pizza party and a Roman banquet were but two of the Latin Club ' s many endeavors. The club, led by president Tim Wise, also attended the state convention held in Kingsport, Tennessee. The Philosophers ' Club, in the words of president Andrew Babian, was formed to talk about philosophy in general, life, the universe, everything. After many free periods of heated debate, the members have come to the conclusion that life is refuse. The study of the lyrics of today ' s punk bands is the purpose behind the Contemporary Lyrics Club. Headed by president Lee Schaefer, the club attempts to answer the question, Why are these bands so rebellious?

Since coming to the school in its early years upon the request of Colonel Ross Lynn, Rudolph has built a quality football program. As head coach he has led the team to three Shelby County titles and four district titles. With a career record of 1 58-82-5, he boasts a 65% winning record. Twice, in 1 977 and 1 980, he led the Owls to the state semi-finals. One of his highlight years was 1967, in which he coached an undefeated Owl team to a 10-0 record with a defense that allowed only 1 9 points the whole season. This year ' s team, though, provided some of his greatest memories when it stunned Brentwood in the semi-finals and narrowly lost in the state AA championship game. Coach Rudolph ' s real strength lies in his character. Formerly one of his Given a Pontiac T 1000 by the football team alumni at a dinner honoring him during his 25th year as coach, Jake Rudolph smiles contentedly. assistant coaches, Headmaster Eugene Thorn stated, Jake is not trying to win any popularity contest, and this attitude has carried over to his players. He has developed a team concept for the welfare of the whole group. Coach Rudolph explains his determination and success as a coach: Every man has a goal in life, and mine was to coach at the high school level. People said to me, ' Why high school?

An Assistant Director of Development at Memphis State University for four years, Mr. Hayes Smith was ready for the challenges at MUS. His primary duties currently include increasing the Endowment and the Annual Support Fund, promoting a better image of the school, and recruiting quality students to the school. Through public relations, he plans to build a more general acceptance of the school among parents, students, foundations, and corporations. Through fund raising, he plans to increase the Support Fund to pay for the school ' s ever-increasing operating budget, which presently is about two million dollars. Besides these goals, some long-term goals include increasing the number of scholarships through the • Endowment and perhaps even building an athletic fieldhouse. In addition to his development duties, Mr. Smith replaced Mr. Shelton as Editor of MUS Today, the Alumni newsletter. Having moved into Colonel Lynn ' s former office, Mr. Hayes Smith works hard for an upcoming fund-raising program. Working Overtime Many students believe that teachers come to school, lecture for an hour, give a few tests, and then go home. However, a teacher ' s role at school is much harder than most students think. Teachers spend long hours making tests, preparing lectures, and grading papers. Having once been students, teachers know that some students need extra help in a particular subject. Thus, many teachers spend their free time after school helping their students. Then there are responsibilities after school. Coaches work long and hard coaching their teams. Some teachers work on school publications, in theatrical productions, or in the school band. Many even spend their weekends on school activities. Our photographer caught a few of the faculty members in action. As lunchroom supervisor, Mr. Guy Amsler orders Peter Goldmacher to get to work while Dinny Grinder watches. During his spare time on Saturday, Mr. Phillip Eikner cleans up the set of Babes in Arms. Having spent many hours preparing his exam, Mr. Andy Saunders arrives at the last stage: xeroxing. 166 FACULTY fa Playing tennis after school, Mr. Bill Taylor displays his awesome form. Coach Taylor has led his tennis team to several district and regional titles and one state title. As Andy Wright listens intently, Coach Barry Ray explains his new offensive formations. In addition to his football duties, Coach Ray finds time to coach the wrestling team as well. FACULTY 167 FROM ONE END to the other, the Class of 1984 enjoyed their well-earned privileges and provided leadership for the Underclassmen. From taking the SAT to completing applications, from eating out to taking cuts, from the mud-wrestling victory to the Turkey Bowl shut-out, from the class holiday to exam exemptions, and from ordering caps and gowns to mailing invitations, the seniors worked, played, and proved to be the best from one end TO THE OTHER.

Holland Studio sent each Senior a letter informing him that the Senior portrait would be the most memorable event of your high school career. Each Senior reluctantly agreed to take part in this tradition by wearing a coat and tie in the middle of the heated summer. When he arrived at the studio, the cashier asked him which of the various poses he wished to have taken: the standard portrait, the clothes catalog casual look, the barnyard, or the exotic jungle scene (see picture). Few could pass up the offer to have one of the jungle pictures taken. However, those Seniors who did have casuals taken actually preferred those shots over the portraits used for the yearbook. When the proofs were ready, each Senior was given a sheet containing ten different package deals — enough to confuse a Senior. But that did not matter because it was Mom that made jthe final decision. However, as soon as the prints came in, the fifty wallet prints that Mom had ordered were quickly distributed to all of his girlfriends (the only reason he put any effort into this tradition). Bathed in an aura of blinding light, Donald Austin smiles suggestively at the voluptuous photographer, whose friendly face greeted all who travelled to Holland Studio to have their likeness struck in a senior portrait. To turn on his many female admirers, Donald displayed his primal lust in the barbaric jungle pose.

This is the initial tower call of Jeff Breazeale before he takes off. Jeff is one of many seniors who take part in an outside activity other than a job. He has earned a solo pilot ' s license and will soon be able to fly passengers. Senior Frank Watson also participates in a unique activity. An avid polo player, Frank is a member of the Memphis Polo Association which meets four times weekly from May until October. Each Sunday the members either play a team from another city or divide up and play among themselves. When asked to comment on polo, Frank simply stated: I play it; I don ' t wear it. Senior Angus Webber also spends much of his time away from school playing Club Soccer. Angus has played the position of sweeper for the First Memphis Soccer Club for the past four years and has gone to West Germany to play against some of the best players in Europe. His team plays indoor soccer during the winter and outdoor soccer during the summer and fall. And you were worried about teenage drivers. After the successful completion of his piloting course, Jeff Breazeale pauses momentarily before talcing his first solo flight. 172 SENIORS I I II Dismayed after losing to an underclassman in the Mr. MUS bodybuilding contest, senior Troy Benitone shows off the good posture and snazzy wardrobe that helped him get so far in the finals.

Some colleges, such as the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University, were greeted with dozens of interested students, including those from Hutchison; however, other representatives spent the entire meeting chatting with an embarrassed Mr. Boelte. So many colleges made their pitch that the already confused seniors couldn ' t find time to learn about all the schools they wished, although the prospect of skipping class surely boosted the attendance at many meetings. This year the plushly decorated new conference room made the college meetings more enjoyable, but as the first semester came to a close many seniors noticed that the college representatives were all saying about the same thing. Still, college meetings provided seniors with helpful information when faced with the important decision of choosing a college. 174 SENIORS I Waiting for Mr. Boelte, Paul Gerald comments on the comfortable, newly-arrived office furniture. The recently expanded upper school offices provide students and college representatives with more space and a more relaxed atmosphere for their meetings. Before one of the many college meetings, David Gardner reads up on Vanderbilt in order to ask an impressive question. The Hyde Library provides a wide variety of college reference material available for student use.

Understandably, a certain closeness has developed among the students. They have learned to tolerate the idiosyncrasies of each student and they have achieved that small-school camaraderie that makes their alma mater unforgettable. Fear was perhaps the one overriding emotion that the class of ' 84 felt during their first year in the Lower School, where they were dominated by the eighth graders who were obsessed with games of rollerhall and hollywood. Recollections of the eighth grade evoke far more pleasant emotions: the feeling of power derived. However, the one torture that all faced was Latin I — the ever- useful language that most proceeded to forget the next year. Suddenly, the intimidating structure of the Upper School threw them back to their seventh-grade status (Seniors immediately relegated them to a position of worm-like servility). Distance between classes seemed like miles rather than feet. Of course, certain advantages followed: they could attend real formals and dances instead of the second-rate lounge dances they were used to. Most importantly, the class of ' 84 had the distinction of being the first and next-to-last class to be graced by the intellectual stimulation of Coach Walker ' s Health Class. As Sophomores, they were initiated into the realm of Upperclassmen through their introduction to some of the more rigorous classes: Mrs. Cannon proved to them thai Science courses could be even more vagu than eighth-grade Earth Science. Also, they were introduced to the Term Paper. They pushed into their Junior year lookiri forward to that sign of unequalled pride and school spirit — the Class Ring. Strange letter combinations — PSAT, SAT, ACT, and ACH — all seemed to spell that ominous word — COLLEGE. The Senior year was the culmination. Foi the first semester, the feeling of Senior superiority took a back seat to all- important college concerns. As the Senioi approached Graduation, they felt a mixture of nostalgia and excitement. The have established close relationships that they know will never be broken. 176 SENIORS h Far mar z Fred Hidaji National Merit Finalist 1 2; Dean ' s Scholar 9, 10, 1 1 , 1 2; Cum Laude Society I 1 , 1 2; Mu Alpha Theta 11,12; Quill and Scroll II, 12; Yearbook Underclassmen Editor 11, 12; Newspaper Staff 10, 11, 12; Photography Staff 9, 10, II, 12; Darkroom Staff 11, 12; Babes In Arms 12; Model UN 11, 12; Backgammon 10, 11, 12; Billiards Club Pres, 11.

Senior all-star flag-football quarterback Robert Wallace had many regrets: I just ran a regular option play around the right, and I pitched the ball to the wrong team. The seniors were faced with an upward battle from the start. Already trailing by a touchdown, the seniors called upon the K.T. Express, Kimbrough Taylor, to put some points on the board. Taylor ' s touchdown later in the first half, along with Tommy Cooke ' s two touchdowns, brought the seniors total to twenty after one missed extra point. The old men of the faculty mustered twenty-six points behind the strong offensive line coached by Andy Saunders. Everyone told me I needed to put on a few pounds for the big game, says Saunders, so I went all out. The outcome of the greatest Turkey Bowl ever is unimportant compared to the strong relationships developed because of the event. Coach John Cady and senior Shawn Snipes are now best of buddies. Likewise, Coach Eddie Batey and and senior Lee Mc Waters are very close. En route to the goal line, Paul Reaves eludes the oncoming faculty members Barry Ray and Andy Saunders. In the Seniors ' valiant Turkey Bowl attempt, Tommy Cooke dazzles the faculty with his moves.

SENIORS 181 PLANNING AHEAD Because of the tough admissions requirements of many of the nation ' s prominent universities, some seniors have made the early decision or early action plan the route to take to better their chances of acceptance to the college of their choice. This decision requires the senior to complete his Senior Autobiography by mid-October and also send his completed application to the college by the first of November. Some Universities indicated that the early application is a binding agreement; however, other colleges have an early action plan which is only an early notification of acceptance, not a binding one. Many seniors took advantage of the early decision and early action applications. Those seniors were accepted to the following universities: Princeton, Brown, MIT, Washington and Lee, Virginia, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, and Sewanee. The seniors accepted by early December admitted to the great relief of pressures of additional college applications and the following April fifteenth deadline. During a free period, Adam Aronson looks into the early action plan for Brown University.

In his first two years at school Joe was lost, wandering aimlessly among the swarms of equally confused Hull Lower Schoolers. There seemed to Joe no purpose to this existence in the Lower School — no purpose except to get out and perhaps find the answer then. It took Joe only one week as a Freshman to discover his quest. He was standing in the lunch line one day at ten after one wondering why he had to stand in line for thirty mintues to be offered food he didn ' t want to eat. Then he realized what was taking so long. Big guys with deeper voices than his were breaking in front of the line. What gives them that right? Joe asked a sophomore in front of him. They ' re seniors, said the sophomore with a grunt. They have senior privileges. Joe ' s stomach growled; the thought of having to wait so long for just a pattie of chicken fried steak angered him. The delicious white gravy would be cold by now. You know, said the sophomore, they don ' t even have to eat here at all. They can go out to lunch. Joe ' s stomach growled again. He wished he were a senior, longing for the luxury of leaving school during lunch and going to McDonald ' s, or Danver ' s, or better yet — the arcade. The frustrated sophomore interrupted Joe ' s daydream. Those seniors can skip every class three times a semester! It makes me sick. Senior privileges are great — makes all the misery worth it, you know. The school knows none of them will open a book second semester unless there ' s a reward, so if they have an 85 average or above in a class, they don ' t have to take their final exam. In the spring they get an extra holiday, and they can leave school if they are free last period without even having to go through Hutchison so no one will see them. The lunch line had finally neared its end, and through the door (and, of course, behind the red line) Joe could see hordes of seniors already finished and returning their trays to the recycling vat. It was okay though. Joe had found his purpose in life — to become a senior. Privileges are a mainstream of a Senior ' s Year. But checking in and checking out at the same time isn ' t. Here Andy Stein checks in or checks out or both. While David Ford watches Ed Triplett munch out, Len Hardison eyes a prospective date.

One of the first signs of this imminent hoopla is the incessant inpouring of college letters. Members of the Junior Class find themselves receiving fascinating brochures from such colleges as Deep Springs, Lemoyne-Owen, and Montana State. Taking the mandatory college board tests is yet another unforgettable experience that all Juniors are allowed to enjoy. Beginning in the fall with the PSAT, Juniors take a series of tests that redefine the words fun and exciting. However unpleasant these tests may be, Juniors soon find that these tests are beneficial practice for the SAT and ACT in their Senior year. These happenings signal the approach of the Senior year. Equipped with cane, headphone radio, and briefcase, would-be college graduate and resident genius Andrew Babian finishes yet another abstruse philosophical book. JUNIORS 193 SOPHOMOReS Bo Allen Paul Anderson Sterritt Armstrong Stewart Austin Frank Balkin Pitners ' People Each year, Sophomores take advantage of a unique opportunity — Mrs. Alma Pitner and famous Mr. Shannon Pitner ' s driving school. Every day on campus, students can be seen sitting behind the wheel of a luxurious Pitnermobile, sometimes the hot-rod white Firebird, sometimes an ugly, non- descript sedan. As any ambitious Sophomore will attest, Driver ' s Education is an essential part of an adolescent ' s maturation process. Besides being highly rewarding, Driver ' s Ed is widely recognized as an excellent way to meet girls. In fact, for many of these students, driving practice with a co-ed is almost like going on a date, except that Mrs. Pitner is the chaperone. The typical Driver ' s Education course begins with numerous showings of Academy Award films like Mechanized Death and Signal 30. After rigorous testing the students are allowed to experience actual behind-the- wheel training, after which the students may take a test to obtain their Driver ' s License. Having learned the Driver ' s Manual backward and forward, a lucky Driver ' s Ed student sets out on his first road trip in a lush Pitnermobile.

For years P.E. instructors have tried various schemes to get their students to perform exercises, and it appears Coach Alston has finally succeeded. Not to be outdone by three healthy and nubile female exercise leaders, these hapless students are forced to get physical at least once a week. Although few will admit it, the effectiveness of aerobics in P.E. class cannot be denied.

However, their new life is not all bad, for these neophyte highschoolers soon learn to enjoy the freedoms that accompany the hardships of the Upper School. For the first time, these students have the privilege of doing what they wish during their free period, which they can spend relaxing in the Student Lounge or studying in the Foyer. They can now make use of the library without having to beg teachers for a library pass. They are now able to create their own class schedule and to join the clubs of their choice.

Thoughts turn to homework that needs to be done, quizzes that need to be studied for, and papers that need to be written. Promises are made as the student feigns dedication to his studies, but most likely this free time will be spent hanging out with friends and listening to music. Favorite places to hang out include the lounge, the lounge porch, the foyer, and the library. Surrounded by idle chatter and the soothing tones of Rock 103, the students retreat to the lounge. While drinking a Coke and eating a honeybun, lounge inhabitants try in vain to study and write papers. For those seeking a more intellectual environment, the Foyer provides an excellent atmosphere. Surprising though it may seem, the library too is a fun hang out as one risks all entering this naugeHyde retreat. Prowling librarians scour the surroundings from their watch tower, keeping a special watch on the mezzanine. The administration has provided a few hand-picked students with a small, well kept room. On a couple of unannounced occasions each year, Coach Peters opens the doors to this room, coyly called The Slammer, allowing a few deserving students a day of uninterrupted meditation.

The duties of the Council include directing fund- raising drives and putting on the Lower School Dance. The principal fund-raising activity that the Student Council directs is the magazine drive, in which young salesmen of the Lower School sell magazine subscriptions for a commission. The money obtained through this activity is used to put on one of the highlights of the seventh and eighth grade year, the Lower School Dance and is used to make a donation to St. Jude ' s Hospital. Through involvement with the Student Council, many Lower Schoolers gain valuable experience in leadership and cooperation.

In addition to submission to and respect for dictatorial Eighth Graders, these youngsters pick up other do ' s and don ' ts of staying alive — they learn that they must not open their mouths in the library or tap their forks on the rail in the cafeteria. They find that walking across the Science Building lawn will bring on the terrible wrath of Mr. O. These and other learning experiences prepare the student for a successful Eighth-Grade year.

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 believe it and you won ' t either if you take time to compare. Guardsmark has the edge in selection, training, supervision, and extras. The edge in selection The heart of the security business is selection and training. The most famous companies don ' t tell you much about selection. At Guardsmark, we do because we have something to tell. Our careful selection leads to guards who are mature, responsible, self-motivated and honest, the kind you want guarding your company. Our selection techniques are so selective that only one applicant out of twenty-five is accepted for training as a Guardsmark security officer or investigator. We go back at least ten years in the applicant ' s life and check everything, including medical history. In states where law permits, we administer poly- graph tests to assure honesty on the front end and keep on checking. Newly hired employees are then given a 566 question psychological test to determine the job for which they ' re best suited. In short, we find out if something ' s wrong before it has a chance to go wrong. The edge in training At Guardsmark, we don ' t train guards just to react to crisis situations. Certainly we teach them how to do that but much more importantly we stress prevention of events that lead to a crisis. We teach them how to spot the security hazards and become specialists in crime prevention. The applicant will go through Guardsmark ' s thorough basic train- ing, advanced training and later will be subject to recurring on-the- job training. We use portable audio visual aids for both initial and on-the-job training. With these devices, guards can easily review such specific topics as human relations and con- frontations, physical security and safety, and fire protection. We give each officer a 104 page General Orders and Regulations at the completion of training which is a prime reference source for performance of duties. Once a month each guard will also receive a Day to Day™ calendar with clearly defined preventive and action guidelines. He even receives extra training bulletins and periodic examinations of his security skills in the envelope with his paycheck. All training procedures are care- fully monitored. Nbtations 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. AH inspections are documented and re- viewed by the branch manager, the regional manager and executive personnel. Beyond all that, we provide a strong incentive bonus plan to our people to further ensure good performance. The edge in extras Here are a few of the little things. The kind that make a big difference between Guardsmark and the others. We look at each opera- tion carefully prior to beginning. Then we provide a customized set of special orders and instructions which are reviewed at corporate headquarters for each account and revised and updated at least every six months. We send you The Lipman Report at no charge, a special newsletter on crime and preventive measures. We back you up with full in- vestigative, security training, and consulting capacity. Our company has the depth and flexibility to meet your needs. We can provide 10, 50 or even 100 extra personnel on short notice in case of emergency. We can provide patrol cars, K-9 service, special equip- ment, even customized uniforms for major assignments. And our in- vestigators have the experience nec- essary to handle touchy situations. Put the Guardsmark edge on your side If you ' ve read this far, you may be interested in more information about what Guardsmark can do for you. Call or write Jeff Harris at our Memphis office, 22 South Second Street, Memphis, TN 38103, 901-522-7900, and find out how we can help you all across the country. With your help we ' ll be the most famous name in security after all. Gt.

That question has been ringing in my ears since last spring, but I ' m proud to say that we have met every deadline for the first time in years. The book ' s success is the product of many outstanding individuals who deserve recognition. I was fortunate to work with a group of highly experienced and talented section editors who sacrificed untold hours working on the annual. Doug Pyne tackled Sports, the largest section in the book, and endured my nagging without complaint all year. Credit for the many creative pages of Student Life goes to Angus Webber, who need ed little prodding to get his work done. Jeff Breazeale ' s tight schedule of activities allowed little time for the yearbook, but he turned in one of the best Organizations sections we ' ve ever had. David Elkin was the first-ever combined Business Manager and Ads editor, and he did an excellent job in both areas. Stewart Waller, Fred Hidaji, Bob Higley, and Salil Parikh all gave top-notch efforts. Special thanks to Bob Thompson for his many hours in the darkroom; Mr. Frank Steed and Mr. Allan McArtor for their excellent football pictures; Mr. Nicky Drake for his expert advice; and the many staff members whose hours of devoted work are greatly appreciated. I would personally like to thank Bill Cole, without whom this book would not exist. He covered nearly every school event and was willing to use his scarce free time doing the bulk of the darkroom work. And, of course, Bill has taken some of the best photographs to be seen in any yearbook anywhere. This book marks Mr. Ellis Haguewood ' s 12th year as yearbook advisor, and I would like to thank him especially for his efforts. Last summer he helped us fledgling editors stand on our own two feet and pointed us in the right direction. He gave up his holidays, weekends, and free periods to work with us and always had a solution to any problem we ran into. Looking back on the year, I am awed by the number of hard-working people who made this book possible. Thank you all. — Mark Hamer THANKS 267 WORK PLHY FROM ONE END of the year to the other, we managed to get the job done without forgetting to have a little fun. From wrestling injuries to thrilling comebacks, from computer dating to Homecoming skits, from Calculus exams to math contest awards, and from Student Council fund-raising projects to the Spring Formal, we worked and played from one end of the year TO THE OTHER. Cleaning Mrs. Warner ' s overhead projector, Bruckner Chase works off a Saturday School so he can sleep late on Saturday morning. From One End Freshman Craig Nadel knows there ' s no better place on campus than the lounge porch when spring fever hits, although some find it hard to get any studying done in the warm weather. The new office is a long walk from the old one, but Mrs. Betty Edwards and Mrs. Mary Nell Easum don ' t seem to mind toting extra office supplies back to Mrs. Lynn Brugge. 268 CLOSING to the Other WORK Sc PLRY No work is as fun as MUSe work, as the dedicated staff members will readily attest. Clockwise, from bottom right: Chris Sullivan, John Apperson, Bob Higley, Scott Blen, Chris Ledes (Editor), Bill McKelvy, Frank Watson, Len Hardison, Doug Pyne. Sophomore John Morris proves that some students know how to use their free periods constructively as he brushes up his English paper in the quiet reference well of the library. WORK AND PLAY 269 THE BEST From One End After eliminating White Station in the state soccer tournament, Chris Crosby and Lee McWaters celebrate their victory over one of the best teams around. II 1 m i y ' mm ! - ■I , Come to attention, gentlemen, and I use the term loosely, says Mr. Norman Thompson every morning to his ninth-grade English class. In addition to initiating the Freshmen to the rigors of Upper School life, Mr. Thompson also prepares his older Convention and Experiment students for the AP English Exam. 270 CLOSING to the Other THE BEST FROM ONE END of the year to the other, we worked hard to be the best in all we did. From the competitive talent show to the lucrative Fall Fest, we excelled in student life. From upsetting Brentwood in football to beating CBHS in soccer, we reached new heights in sports. From the Junior Beta Club ceremony to the National Honor Society induction, we made the grade in academics. From the tournament-hosting Latin Club to the award-winning newspaper staff, we remained on top in organizations. All in all, we are the best from one end TO THE OTHER. Often it was the cheerleaders ' titillating dance routines that grabbed the crowd ' s attention, not the football game. Michelle Nelson clearly enjoys working with the best group of cheerleaders around. Reviewing term paper topics for his American Literature elective, Mr. Ellis Haguewood keeps his class awake with his now-famous dry humor. Ah, yes, nothing hits the spot like ice water on a hot summer day. Only after sacrificing the holidays in pre-season training could John Dobbs and the other varsity Owls fight their way to the top. THE BEST 271 Final Note: Only six short years ago, the Class of 1 984 sat in the balcony of the chapel peering down at the seniors and wondering how they could ever be that grown-up. Now they look at this year ' s Lower Schoolers and wonder how they could have ever been that tiny. Their six-year journey has allowed them to better appreciate MUS and all the school has given them since the fall of 1978. MUS is a passageway into Life, and through it they have moved from one end to the other. From one end of the campus to the other, the seniors of the Class of 1984 spend their last moments of high school marching toward the future. 272 LAST PAGE shhhh MtojBIHBjyWBHBlBHHll HHSL BHH HHHHI ■ ■ Hi ■ ■ it 111 fl t K
