Mr. Peter Bowman ' s art classes offer a brief respite from rigorous academic courses but still challenge the talents of the student. Although Mrs. Christa Warner appears to be irritated by the humor of Mike Carroll and Chris Ledes, she is secretly pleased that the two came by to ask questions. 2 OPENING WBmm 1 Absorbed by an article on Victorian Poetry, Jeff Kelsey takes advantage of the up-to-date equipment of Hyde Library to research a paper for Mr. Norman Thompson. 1% OPENINC Cutting to the Top Claiming Columbia University ' s Silver Crown Award for an outstanding Owl ' s Hoot.

Goofing off in the lounge after lunch. Washing cars on a summer Saturday for the Student Council. In the area of student life, consistent attendance and dedicated participation put us on the cutting edge. STUDENT LIFE 9 Sap Rises Ah, spring! The sap rises; the flowers bloom; the students quit working; frisbees fly; a young man ' s fancy turns to nubile naiads. Sunny skies, fresh air, infatuation — homework is close to impossible. When asked why his Pre-Calculus average had dropped thirty-two points in three weeks, Owen Tabor replied, Ask me later. I ' m late for a party. On the way to her office. Mrs. Christa Warner slops to chat with a Bigboy. As a senior prank, a few members of the class of ' 84 placed six of the famous Shoney ' s trademarks in various places on campus. Bigboys were found in the chapel, on top of the gym, atop the lounge porch, and in Mrs. Lenli ' s parking space. Student Council candidates Jay Steed, Clay Smythe, and John Apperson try to memorize their speeches while Lee Schaefer books the Rolling Stones for the Spring Formal. 10 STUDENT LIFE Resembling beached whales, these lower school students wait patiently for the sun to tan their pale bodies. May ' s eighty-degree temperatures attract students by the dozens to the pole-vault mat during seventh period. Early one morning, Wesley Grace fishes for his breakfast while on the FCA canoe trip. Coach John Cady and about forty upper- school outdoorsmen floated the Eleven-Point River in Missouri for two days last April. SPRING LIFE 1 1 -J-J-J J VJ i TfW    rv- «r • WV Pippin: A Quest for Meaning Pippin, a 1972 Broadway bit, was the pring, 1984, musical production. Directed )y Mr. Phillip Eikner, the play tells of Mppin ' s search for his place in life. Pippin is led through many adventures y the Leading Player, who shows him van, parties, love, and Anally death by Ire in a spectacular Hnale. Pippin chooses eve and the tedium of an unpretentious ife, and the show ends with the realization hat life, for all its mundaneness, is worth he struggle. The leading roles were played by Mike arroli as Pippin, Hudson Adams as the Leading Player, John Fulton and Lisa Rosen as Pippin ' s parents Charlamagne and Fastrada, Krissie Alexander as Pippin ' s grandmother Berthe, and Andrea Sabesin and John Minor as Catherine and Theo, Pippin ' s girlfriend and her son. The show required the most difficult choreography and technical work ever attempted by the theater group. Mr. Eikner, after directing his first school musical said, It was a real learning experience for me. I learned the need for organization and effective leadership, which I will try to carry into my next show. In a dazzling array of costumes and make-up, the cast comes together in a powerful, magical fmale. Everyone worked as hard as he could do to make my first show a success. Mr. Andy Saunders, who handled the technical and musical direction and who served as a kind of mentor for the young Eikner, summed it up well: Pippin is representative of the excellence in theater we have achieved at MUS. Everyone I talked to left the auditorium entertained as well as provoked to think about his own life. I) Swept off her feet by members of the chorus, Krissie Alexander lead I lively tune called No Time at All. 3} In need of divine intervention, Mike Carroll and John Minor pray that their duck will recover from its malady. The duck died, bowsver. 3) At merry on stage as he is off stage, Hudson Adams attempts to lighten the hearts of his audience. PIPPIN I U A Senatorial page in Washington, D.C., John Dobbs worked for Senators like Tony Coelho, who p)Osed with John for this picture. John was able to learn much about Congress by running for coffee and delivering notes for the Senators. 14 STUDENT LIFE J e ' re in the Money, We ' re in the Money Finally! We finished those exams! You want to celebrate the summer vacations with an extra-large pizza? Sure, that sounds great. Hey, can you loan me a few bucks? Well, actually, I was going to ask you for a little money. Bye-bye pizza. Are you sure you don ' t have any money? I have a dollar. I ' m tired of being broke all the time. Yeah, me too. It looks like vacation isn ' t going to be too much fun this year. We need to find some JOBS! Step right up! A sly Paul Young lures yet another sucker to the Bowler Roller game at Libertyland, the object of which is to stop a bowling ball in a valley formed by two metal rails. Says Paul, It ' s impossible. Insulted by a meager 45t tip, Salil Parikh grins as he takes a Giant bag of groceries from the trunk of an unsuspecting housewife ' s car. SUMMER JOBS 15 Scaling the Heights We Reach for Adventure For three months of each year, the student enjoys the freedom that is summer. With ninety days to forget the responsibilities of school, he is able to escape from the routine that he follows for nine month s. But summer also gives the student the freedom to leave Memphis and visit other parts of the world. Students traveled to places ranging from Florida to France, from Texas to Taiwan, and of course, to Britain for MUS-in-England. But the place of escape is not important. As he sees people and places he has never seen before, the student realizes that he is continually learning, even when not at school. .i- ' - ' For Clay Smythe. Brent Turner, and John Apperson, England was no hole-in-the-wall vacation resort. Other students who participated in MUS-in-England were Dudley Lee and John Albritton. While hiking through Europe, Mr. Skip Daniel stopped for a shot in front of the majestic Matterhorn. 16 STUDENT LIFE Geoff Butler demonstrates considerable courage as he tries the hands-ofr ' method of rappelling down a rock in Wyoming. During their trip to Taiwan, Chris Joe and his sister visit a smoky Confucian temple. Once again, Mr. John Springfield and Mr. Leigh MacQueen backpacked on the Appalachian Trail. Mr. Springfield took a breather while Mr. MacQueen took this picture. SUMMER VACATION 17 Reading up on typing guidelines, rising senior Chris Crosby sits through another day of summer school. Day Camp counselor Andy McCarroll outlines the basics of basketball while pre-adolescent campers dream of having Andy ' s physique. Working in intense heat, a football-field repairman digs up a weed during this summer ' s emergency operation on Hull Dobbs gridiron. Because the harsh winter killed much of the grass on the field, a group of specialists — including this fme physical specimen — were called upon to resod the field. V j ' -i jlfe ' ' . ■♦ ' ' • ' ' . l - iiStmiiHi 18 STUDENT LIFE open: 8 am to 6 pm Contrary to popular belief, MUS does not go on vacation (luring the summer. Although most students stay as far from school as possible, others spend many of their cherished summer days on campus. Summer school is an option for those who want to avoid Mr. Deaderick for American history or for those who want to learn to type. Youngsters frolic at day camp while many students spend a few weeks at Coach Peters ' basketball camp or Coach Billy Taylor ' s tennis camp. His face contorted, Jeff Hines contemplates the fourteen remaining pullups he must complete for the football physical fitness test. Protecting his world-famous aerodynamic haircut with a painter ' s cap, Parker Phillips demonstrates car-washing basics to cheerleaders Meg Byers and Elizabeth Pounders at one of several summer Student Council money-raising projects. A garage sale and car washes provided about $2500 to begin the school year.

Having attended the school only five years, John Dobbs and Brent Turner find it easy to get lost on campus and have therefore joined a bunch of their seventh-grade pals to tour as a group on Orientation Day, a one-day program designed to acquaint new students with the campus. Orientation Day is another of the myriad Student Council projects. 22 STUDENT LIFE Where Have All the Good Times Gone? I can ' t believe it ' s time already. Final exams are still fresh on my mind. I ' m just now getting used to sleeping all day and staying up all night, but another September has crept up on me. Oh no! Summer reading! And only two more days. Oh yeah! Of Mice and Men. Only 79 pages. I ' m glad there ' s no test this year. Books! Books! $109 for a few textbooks. The folks will get that bill, but I need some money of my own for things like ... the Victory Dance! And who as I going with anyway? Maybe that blonde from Chemistry I last year. Uh oh. I ' ve got Chemistry II this year with Mr. Omundson and his basic concepts . . . fifth grade math! And Mrs. Warner and her complex numbers. And Dr. Dalle: Voici, Phillip! Shut up or get out,huh?0 i, o, a. ' And ... I can ' t believe it ' s time for school! Under the leadership of senior Clay Smythe, boisterous Owls get fired up for the football game against Germantown with the traditional seventh period hall-havoc. Would you believe close to $200 for books? Junior Greg de Witt does now as Jeff Clark rings them up. Linemen Mike Commerford and Greg McGowen prepare to spit water all over their opponents during halftime of the scrimmage with E.C.S. Yes, we won the scrimmage. BACK TO SCHOOL 23 SMASHING! Postposed for two weeks because of inclement weather, the Fall Festival was the most successful fest to date. Under sunny skies, the gala drew over 400 bodies and a record profit that exceeded $1000. According to mastermind Parker Phillips, I took a gamble (by postponing the fest), but it paid off, fellas. Highlighting the extravaganza was a mud-wrestling victory by Chris Mudpacking Sullivan over faculty member Eddie Spaz Batey. Bill Spike McKelvey captured the coveted Mr. Wet MUS title; and the team of Mike Commerford, Johnny Barringer, and Meg Byers outpulled all others to win the tug-of- war contest. Thinking only of the previous night ' s loss to Kirby, this vandal takes out his anger on a car. Because students realize that the opportunity to smash a car with a sledgehammer usually arises only once a year, the car smash boasted one of the longest lines at the fest. Guitarists Jason Hughes and Jeff Horn of Wood and the Cruisers supply the sounds that let the good times roll. Greenbacks galore! Greg McGowan ' s hands tremble as he counts the ever- increasing gate money. There were not enough money boxes to house ail the cash as a record crowd attended the fest. 24 STUDENT LIFE As Hutchison senior Deborah Bass annoints his head with water, Bernhardt Trout giggles deliriously at the thought of winning his second Mr. Wet MUS contest. Bernhardt ' s dream was washed away, however, as surprise entry Bill McKelvy came out of nowhere to win the event in a Cinderella-like finish. Enjoying an obvious supremacy in wrestling knowledge, Chris Sullivan prepares to inflict the infamous arm- drag to single-leg takedown combination upon Coach Eddie Batey. FALL FEST 25 About to be stuffed into a locker, Deepak Tharapel struggles against a black-clad bully. Using wrestling techniques Coach Ray should begin teaching, David Phillips takes advantage of Kevin Iverson as he is immobilized by the anonymous assassin 2. Under cover of their innocent eighth-grade guise, ROC Johnson, Gus Lipman, Marc Kesselman, and Gene Lee enact phase one of their plan to rid the school of Mr. John Springfield once and for all by making lethal homemade, radioactive, superpolyunsaturated, dimethylsulfoxide- transferred BC Powder, to be sprinkled all over his jogging suit. Somehow, though, this ingenious plot failed. 26 STUDENT LIFE The Lower School Life Munchkins . . . peons . . . Members of this put-down minority have no respectable title like Sophomore or Junior. They have only supervised study halls instead of free periods, and a cramped corner is their only lounge. But they don ' t care. The responsibilities of driving a car, going to college, and holding a job do not weigh upon their growing shoulders. And they have graduated from the pampering and parental protection of the Sesame Street, Tonka-truck years. High school — the ultimate goal (and rude awakening) — is close at hand. Reckless and free, life belongs to the Lower-Schooler. Isolated in their square building (the Hull Lower School), jr. highers are unaware of their status. They don ' t know; they don ' t care. They don ' t care to know what words of wisdom one has to offer. (Having the Rules of Civility memorized does not mean one lives by them). After all, these guys are at a real high school now. Theirs is the field behind the stands on Friday nights. And nobody can tell these buzzards what to do . . . Well, except maybe . . . uh . . . Mr. . . . you know who. Endowed with natrual study skills far superior to those of his peers, Swayne Latham proves his worthiness of promotion to the tenth grade, the year when most students develop such laid back study skills. King of the underworld auditorium, Mr. John Springfield surveys his oppressed subjects with a smile of delight that only a principal could have. Jonathan Rowe is about to score again in this organizational period, paper football grudge match as Chad Kelsey watches helplessly. John Kirkscey stands by to make sure things do not get out of hand.

The student rises, chants the Pledge of Allegiance with his fellow students, and resumes his seat. Soon, thoughts of Friday ' s game, Saturday ' s date, or next period ' s test enter the mind of the student, for he has nothing better to think of: he is in chapel. While chapel rarely seems to accomplish its goal of spiritual and intellectual stimulation, presentations like those by Mr. Tom I ' m the Bubble Guy, I make all the rules Noddy and our own Mr. Bill Casey Jones really lived Hatchett entertain the student and keep him coming back for future assemblies. In a final closing gesture. Bernhardt Trout douses the Hyde Chapel lights and brings to an end another fascinating Wednesday program. Students and faculty alike burst into laughter in response to a primofacio (first-class abuse on a member of the student body) . ' m $ mstmmm i lR During the zany Homecoming skit. Bishop Byrne ' s ultimate male (Jeff Rowe) is greeted by Byrne ' s reigning Ruler of Rock (Alex Williams), who has just returned from his weekly pilgrimage to Maywood, the beach within reach. Ned Reaves beams with pride after being crowned King of the Ad Campaign. In addition to the coveted crown, Ned holds a $10 bill, prize money for his unparalleled efforts. During an afternoon Forum, Parker Phillips addresses the question of where to hold the Spring Formal while Clay Smythe, John Apperson, and Greg McGowan consider their own choices. CHAPELS 31 X . ' The homecoming skit was another big success. Lee Schaefer and Dean Siewert excellently portrayed new-wave Byrne students, as did Lon Magness, Alex Willianjs, and Jeff Rowe. Contrasting the new-wavers was the reappearance of good ol ' boys Hector (Will James) and Enis (Clay Smythe) as Bishop Byrne students. Here the actors bag it after watching the Knights lose to the Owls, 138-0. Clad in Red Knight attire. Chek (Dean Siewert) and Ace (Lee Schaefer) describe their infatuation with the mall and the beach-within reach — MAYWOOD! ■jf Htj mm i- :4 l i m fA 32 STUDENT LIFE Homecoming Hoopla Monday: Red and Blue Day. 80% of the student body showed their school colors. Tuesday: Shade and Lid Day. Ecstatic at the opportunity to wear hats and sunglasses inside, 78% of the students donned head gear. Wednesday: Polynesian Shirt Day. Because of the great October Polynesian shirt shortage, only 45% of the students wore the multi-colored rayon tops. Thursday: Knee-length Shorts Day. Over 59% of upper-school students were too cool to show their shins. Friday: Grub Day — a hot one. As expected, every student came to school looking his scuzziest. Students rocked the chapel by igniting the wave and then sat back to enjoy an abusive skit and a bodacious pep rally. Friday night the Owls mangled Bishop Byrne, and Delane Hendrix was named Homecoming Queen. Demonstrating his sartorial splendor, a be-boxered Bill McKelvy gazes stoically out the senior-hall window displaying bodily form more perfect than Polykleitos ' Spearbearer. Senior JeffRowe attempts to look innocent as the photographer catches him stretching his neck during a quiz. Students like Jeff took the opportunity of Shade and Lid day to adorn themselves with every type of eyewear conceivable. Despite chapel talks that warn students of how even the gentle touch of a hand could lead to perverted sexual actions, senior Tim Wise openly displays his affection to his date, Kara I ' m-too-cool-to-come-to-the-Fall-Fest Kilpatrick. HOMECOMING 33 Let there be light! T-3 Bryan mans the spotlight and Bernhardt Trout takes care of the house lights in the booth at the Weiner Theater at Hutchison. With the skill of a virtual Rembrandt, Mike Carrol! applies his Scarecrow makeup with a paint brush. 34 STUDENT LIFE Hidden Helpers Make Wizard Work In William Shakespeare ' s As You Like It, the character Jacques says that all the world ' s a stage. For some, this is true, but there are those who have never seen the bright lights and glory that comes with acting on a real stage. So what about the other guys, those who have never basked in the warm reception of an applauding audience? These behind-the-scenes workers are every bit a part of the production. Without these dedicated souls, plays like The Wizard of Oz would neer be. For those who doubt that these people contribute to the production, here is a step-by-step guide to staging The Wizard ofOz: 1 . The first task at hand is to choose actors, like Mike Carroll as the Scarecrow, Hudson Adams as the Tinman, Amy Murrell as Dorothy, and Krissie Alexander as the Cowardly Lion. These are the people who receive acclaim because they do their jobs on stage. But a play like The Wizard ofOz requires more than just actors; it requires backstage workers as well. 2. The second job to be tackled is that of building sets. Dorothy can ' t just walk over an empty stage and pretend that she is in Oz, so a crew of backstage workers must construct scenery. Dedicated workers like Ryan Riggs, Bryan Davis, Shane Butler, Ned Reaves, Matt Thompson, Dabney Collier, and others must spend many Saturday mornings to build and paint what will eventually be the Emerald City or a small farm in Kansas. 3. Now that actors are chosen and sets are built, rehearsal must begin. While the actors go through the motions, a lighting crew must learn cues: douse all the lights, now bring up the green lights, now put a spotlight on the Wicked Witch. They must practice their part just as the actors practice the lines of the play. 4. When the rehearsal is finished and opening night arrives, it is time for the players to strut their stuff upon the stage. But while the audience sees only the actors, there are many more who remain silent and unknown, quietly accepting their roles as the backstage crew. But the parts they play are just as important as the actors ' parts; indeed, they are also players. Using the radial arm saw in the workshop, Ryan Riggs and Dabney Collier strive for a cut above the rest. What the audience sees is but a small part of the entire production. Here the Scarecrow, still a novice walker, is helped by the Tinman and Dorothy, while the Cowardly Lion looks for any spooky creatures. WIZARD OFOZ 35 i.i Grossing over $325,000 in two standing- room-only performances, Bruce Springsteen sings Born to Run to 26,000 screaming fans in the two concerts. C 36 STlJI)EN TOURNEX At Meg Byers ' party on New Year ' s Day, John Albritton makes a futile effort to smile for the camera. Ted Simpson and Will James are obviously ecstatic as they watch UCLA edge Miami in the Fiesta Bowl. Brandishing their artwork, John Monaghan and John Apperson show their appreciation for Brent Turner ' s 34 points in two games of the Josten ' s Holiday Tournament. Christmas holidays provide a much needed hiatus from late-night study sessions for Mr. Russell ' s Humanities tests or from hours of work on intriguing chemistry problems. It ' s two weeks of dances, concerts, parties, basketball tournaments, shopping, and eating. But when school starts again in January, most students are moderately glad to go back. As Gary Wunderlich put it, I can ' t wait to get back to school. I ' m bored. XMAS HOLIDAYS 37 Dashing Through the Snow By February of the new year, snow had replaced some old favorites as the most frequently used four-letter word in Memphis. The number of holidays caused by bad road conditions accumulated like — well — snow, totaling 7 in all. The first snow hit Memphis for the highest accumulation in years: 9-10 inches in one blanket. The second snow, on Super Bowl weekend, accompanied the lowest temperature recorded in Memphis since 1963: — 4° F. The third snow delayed Grub Day and Homecoming for a week. Throughout the siege, however, the students somehow managed to brave the elements and accelerate the social calendar. When asked how he liked to spend his free time, senior Scott Williams replied, I like to get stuck out east . . . and find new ways to keep warm inside. Here are some more holiday activities: 1 ) have a girl over and have some fun 2) have a girl over and not have any fun 3) play cards with one ' s parents 4) play cards at someone else ' s house 5) sled with the next-door neighbor ' s second cousin 6) sled in the family station wagon 7) thaw the ball out of Bo ' s hand (opposite page) 8) work on one ' s publication (yearbook, newspaper, MUSe) 9) work on nothing 10) allow one ' s cerebellum and medulla oblongata to atrophy and putrefy in a barrage of distorted dissonance performed by such harmonious headbangers as Blistered Mister and SSIK 1 1 ) jam with the Stones 12) call Mr. Thorn and ask him if school is out for the week 13) call again just to make sure Approaching turn 2, Wesley Grace tightens his grip on the rope handle as John Dobbs braces for impact. The rope did break, and the sledders did hit the curb, but they failed to make the papers. Our school: placid, melancholy, empty. January 3rd, back to school day: students left for home after only three classes, and, due to heavy traffic on slick streets, the trip took hours for several drivers. 38 STUDENT LIFE Booo in the snooow. There is no holiday for basketball players like Bo the pro Allen. I . SNOW HOLIDAYS 39 Singing their version of a get-down-and- boogie rhythm and blues song, Craig Witt, Phillip Burnett, and McNeal McDonnell perform to a packed house at Hyde Chapel during the Talent Show. On Clandestine Day, Bob Thompson, Bob Coleman, Mike Commerford, and David Schaefer are caught in the act of embezzling funds from the darkroom by a wary photographer. Immediately before being crowned basketball homecoming queen. Gay Daughdrill calmly stands with escort Jeff Kelsey as the names of the runners-up, Deborah Bass and Julie Huettel, are announced to the crowd. 40 STUDENT LIFE Worth the Wait As a result of a one-foot snowfall, Basketball Homecoming was postponed and combined with the Civic Service Club ' s Charity Week. In order to lighten up the drab days of winter, the Student Council sponsored Clandestine Day, Polynesian Day, and Synthetic Day, together with the more traditional Blue and Red Day and Grub Day. The dance on Friday night was a huge success, despite the fact that the band, Valentino, was thirty minutes late. Charity Week was also extremely successful. The Civic Service Club, under the direction of President Joel Sklar, sponsored the Senior Pizza Pigout at Pizza Hut, the Rock-a- Thon, the first-annual Special Olympics basketball tournament, and the Talent Show. Although the Rock-a-Thon was not as well- attended as in past years because of advertising problems due to the snow, the Talent Show, which featured such acts as the Wooly Mammoths, Saliva, and SSIK, drew a record crowd and grossed over $1200. The total profits from Charity Week of $ 1 800 were donated to Easter Seals. Singing Jimi Hendrix ' s Gloria and U2 ' s I Will Follow, Richard Garner and his band entertain the small group which showed up at the Rock-a-Thon. They later moved their equipment to the chapel and performed at the Talent Show that evening. Portraying Dandy Don Walker in the homecoming skit, Owen Tabor eagerly awaits being spat upon by some obnoxious Kirby Kirbites so that he can whack them upside the head with his Ole Miss class ring. Surrounded by some of his newly-made friends, Fred Schaeffer takes a break from his volunteer work at the Special Olympics basketball tournament held at our gym.

Oklahoma!, staged this winter by MUSTA ' D, is the story of the stormy romance of Curly McClain and Laurie Williams. They are madly in love with one another, but too stubborn to admit it. They go to a box social, but not with each other. Each is jealous of the other at first, but in the end they reconcile and are married. For many, the musical was a new territory; they had never before made stage appearances. Johnny Barringer, in the role of Curly, and John Dobbs, as the villain Jud Fry, faced the challenge of having starring roles without having previous stage experience. Many of the chorus members were cast in their first-ever roles, as well. But the coaching of Mr. Andy Saunders, Mr. Flip Eikner, and Mr. John Hiltonsmith enabled the rookies to perform like the old sweats. Stage veterans who appeared in Oklahoma! included Mike Carroll as Will Parker, Hudson Adams as Ali Hakim, Kathie Johnson as Laurie, Elizabeth Pounders as Ado Annie, and Krissie Alexander as Aunt Eller. When it all came together, the combination of new actors and old was fantastic. The acting was great, the singing superb; Oklahoma! was O.K. A grisly Andrew Carnes (Trip Robertson) makes a good point (with his shotgun) to Ali Hakim (Hudson Adams): marry my daughter Ado Annie (Elizabeth Pounders) or else! Mr. Andy Saunders grins, for he knows that he has defeated Mr. Flip Eikner in this muscle- flexing contest, which was held during rehearsal one afternoon. OKLAHOMA! 45 i 1 f ! 46 DIVIDER nhe dirt!

Dribbling, shooting, and hustling to another winning basketball season. In the area of sports, long hours of practice and good coaching put us on the cutting edge. Qporfs SPORTS 47 mmgmmmMm m mm: AWESOME Netters Win State With just one defeat. Coach Bill Taylor ' s 1984 tennis team capped its banner year with a state championship. En route, they won District and Regional Crowns and placed second in the Chattanooga Rotary Club Tournament. In the first six dual contests, MUS did not lose a single match. A knee injury to number-three player John Morris put him out for the season, but the rest of the top seven — Jeff Barry and Murray Garrott, who were nationally ranked; Dylan Black; Tim Donovan; Joel Morrow; and Walker Hays — took up the slack and beat MBA twice and CBHS once before suffering their only defeat of the year to a very strong Baylor team. The Owls roared through the district and regional tournament, taking both single and double titles in each tournament as Garrott beat an ailing Barry, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4, in the finals of the Region and as the team of Barry and Garrott beat the CBHS team of Wallace and Lubin in the doubles finals to advance to the state tournament. The only loss of the season was avenged in the state tournament as Barry, who beat top-seeded exchange student Henrik Peterson from Kingston, and Garrott knocked off the Baylor players in the early rounds to advance to the finals. It was an all MUS singles final as Barry beat Garrott, 6-2, 6-2, but the team of Barry and Garrott lost a tough match to a Knoxville Webb team in the doubles final. Despite the loss, the Owls almost tripled the point total of the runner-up. And for the second year in a row, the eighth-grade tennis team went undefeated. Since the team has never lost a match. Coach Bill Taylor described the 9-0 steam-rollings of Harding, Memphis Prep, and Briarcrest as routine. Showing Stale Championship form, Murray Garrott sends his MBA opponent ' s volley back via express mail as the Owls rolled, 7-2. Jusi in case the Baylor opponent returns Dylan Black ' s forehand smash, John Morris prepares to put it away.

The Owls, having their best season in years, earned a first-place finish in both the MUS Invitational and the Regional meet. Senior Lee McWaters exhibited his versatility by competing in the two-mile relay, the mile-relay, and the 800-yard run. McWaters capped off his trip to the State Tournament by placing fourth in the 880, and he combined with Scott Williams, Kyle King, and Bill Cole to take second place in the two-mile relay, finishing just one-tenth of a second behind first-place finisher Harding. Jay Steed, competing in both the hurdles and pole- vault, vaulted to a season-high 12 ' 6 during the Regional Tournament, and tied with teammate Alex Williams for third in the State Tournament by vaulting 1 r6 . Scott Williams also competed in the mile- relay and the 440-yard run. Senior James Hudson highlighted his year by tying for first in the shotput in the Region while juniors Parker Phillips, John Dobbs, and Owen Tabor and sophomore Andy McCarroll contributed valuable points to help the Owls achieve what Coach Alston called a surprising season. One of the most consistent performers on the team, Joel Sklar flies over the high hurdles with ease, leaving his outclassed opponent struggling for breath. Sklar won the race as the Owls beat Memphis Prep and Collierville. Staring in amazement at how easily Alex Williams cleared the bar, the two opponents debate whether they can make it or not. The twosome of Williams and Jay Steed usually meant a one-two flnish in the high-jump. VARSITY TRACK 51 ON ON JV Wins, 8th Never Loses Though the JV track team had a short season, it finished above .500. The Owls beat Harding and placed a respectable second to CBHS in a triangular meet with Kirby and CBHS. Despite Kyle King ' s victories with times of 4:46.9 in the 1600-meter run and 10:44.1 in the 3200-meter run and the 800-meter relay team ' s first-place finish, the tracksters finished fourth in the JV championship at CBHS. Andy McCarroll also won the discus throw. Meanwhile under Coaches Dan Griffin and Curt Schmitt, the eighth-grade track team upheld its winning ways by posting a 6-0 record in the regular season and beating four other teams in the conference championship. The team has now completed its tenth straight season without a defeat and has captured 10 straight league titles. According to Coach Griffin, Success was attributed to the entire team. Three Lower School track records were set by C. C. King and Scott McArtor. King broke Johnny Barringer ' s long-jump record of 17 ' 6 ' 2 by five inches, and McArtor set new times in both the low hurdles and 200-meter dash. The Baby Owls placed first in five of nine running events and two of four field events in the League Championship. Michael Skouteris, Mark Griffin, Edwin Streuli, and Preston Dillinger were the strongest relay team, and Kevin Tilley was the discus champion. Hoping the laws of gravity don ' t hold true for high- jumpers, Will Jones attempts to clear the bar in the League Championship. He made it and so did the Baby Owls, as they went undefeated for the tenth- straight year. Proving that they are two of the best milers in the city, Elmore Rocky Holmes and Kyle King begin to pull away from the pack in the Harding Invitational.

Three games later Allen Halliday fired a one-hitter in a 7-2 win over Catholic. Toward the end of the season, the big bats came to life in consecutive 13-run thrashings of Collierville and Catholic. The long-awaited hopes of a District Championship were denied in a 5-4 loss to Collierville in the first round. Joel Kaye hit three home runs and Andy Wright hit two to supply hitting power, and Barry McCullar and Dede Malmo had the highest batting averages.

BASEBALL 55 TEAMWORK Bradshaw Method Works Perfectly Bereft of a coach and 1 5 seniors, the varsity soccer team turned what was called a rebuilding year into a winning season. The coaching position was filled by Steve Bradshaw, a 22-year-old veteran of both the Americans and the Rogues, who brought his experience as well as enthusiasm to the team. He actively participated in practice, giving demonstrations, scrimmaging, and even running with the team. One player commented that physical work is easier when the coach does it with you. Practice began in mid-August with six- hour daily workouts in preparation for the season opener. The team worked hard to build a new style of play, relying on basic skills, intensity, and communication. The Buzzards had a tough first opponent in the Brothers, who were returning an almost-entire starting lineup. After rolling over ECS, 5-0, on the strength of Todd Brown ' s two goals, the Owls ran into a brick wall against defending state-champion Germantown, losing 6-0. The Owls next important contest was against Harding, who scored on two questionable calls to win the game. A rematch with CBHS followed, and although the teams played an even game, the Buzzards simply couldn ' t score against an air-tight defense. After this game the season began to turn around, with MUS winning its five remaining district games. The streak began with a 7-0 rout of ECS, highlighted by Jimmy Walker ' s four goals in one half. The next game was a grudge match against Auburndale, who had tied the Owls earlier in the season. MUS won the game, which was augmented by a post- game fight involving the Auburndale coach, 4-2. As Coach Bradshaw said, It was a forty-man battle royal. With a little aid from Kenneth Webber, Byron Winsetl knocks the ball away in a tough 6-0 loss to Germantown. Proving to the Catholic opponent who ' s tougher, sweeper Brian Browder uses a shoulder tackle to strip the ball away in a 3-0 shutout win. 56 SPOR TS Using a single feint on his opponent, Todd Brown - fakes out his opponent in the Germantown game. ■ m ' 9 i -ffmmtit ■ ' ■■ ' ' ■ ' VARSITY SOCCER (8-5-1) CBHS 0-6 ECS 5-0 Germantown 0-6 Catholic 3-0 Auburndale 1-1 Briarcrest 2-0 Harding 0-2 CBHS 0-5 ECS 7-0 ' Auburndale 4-2 Catholic 5-1 Harding 1-0 Briarcrest 1-0 Craigmont 1-2 1 Goals Scored: Walker 9, Boals 7, Monaghan 4, Brown 3, Nadel 2, Garner 1 , Busby 1 .

TEAMWORK Continued MUS ' 8-3-1 district record seeded them third in the state tournament among teams from the Memphis area. The Owls first- round opponent was Craigmont, and the kickers dominated the early going, but the Chiefs scored late in the first half to tie. The second half was a seesaw battle that saw neither team dominating. Craigmont, however, was able to score off a throw-in similar to MUS ' first goal. That one goal held, and MUS lost the game, 2-1 . Jimmy Walker led the team in goals scored with nine; the defense was led by Chris Crosby, who saved the team from defeat more than once. Probably the most improved player on the team was the keeper, Byron Winsett, who jumped into the starting job after only one year of goalkeeping experience. Byron recorded six shutouts. As one player said, We had a great year, and we produced a winning record, even though people didn ' t believe we could. One of three starting seniors on the squad, Chris Crosby begins yet another drive up the field after stripping the CBHS attackers of the ball in a 5-0 loss. Even though he was not the starting goalie, Jeff Horn provided outstanding goalkeeping skills in every game he played. Here, he denies a Catholic player a chance at the corner kick as Johnny Norris, Chris Crosby, Evan Speight, Craig Nadel, and Brian Browder watch. Trying to punch through a tough CBHS defense, Craig Nadel powerfully heads the ball toward the goal over two defenders; however, the goalie made the save. VARSITY SOCCER 59 STRONG FINISH Youth Leads Linksters Returning only one senior from last year ' s District Championship and Regional Runner-up team, the golfers overcame inexperience and inconsistency to win their last four matches, en route to posting a winning season and capturing third in the District. Led by regional qualifiers Eb LeMaster and John Dulin, who both had a 74-stroke average for the year, the team began a second-half surge with an impressive 295- 297 upset win over Germantown, in whicl LeMaster recorded a season-low 70, junic Wellford Tabor shot a 73, and senior Tim Wise recorded a 75. Just weeks before, however, the linkste had bogeyed their way to a team season- high 3 1 6 on a course Coach Lin Askew described as very easy. The prodigious win over Germantown, a sluggish 308 wii over ECS, and a splendid 295 win over Skyview were characteristic of the team ' s inconsistency all year. Although Coach Askew felt the team did not always play up to its potential, he was overjoyed at the team ' s performance and pleased with the play of the underclassmen. Stuck in the sandtrap on the seventeenth hole, Wellford Tabor concentrates on getting the ball onto the green in the upset win over Germantown at Audubon. Showing his reversed putting form, Tim Wise gets ready to sink a birdie to help the linksters beat Elliston. 60 SPORTS Watching intently, Eb Lemaster hopes his putt will fall in in the win against Germantown.

Owl defense dominated, allowing the Saints only 75 yards rushing. MUS 30 Germantown 6 The high-flying Owls, ranked 1st in the state in A A, and the Red Devils, ranked number one in AAA, took the field in the first high-school game ever to be telecast live in Tennessee. A six-yard scamper by QB Dede Malmo made the score 7-0. Kicker John Monaghan ' s field goal made it 10-0 at halftime. A 20-point 4th-quarter barrage saw Johnny Barringer (2-yd. run). Jay Steed (47-yd. run), and Chris Teague (40-yd. pass from Malmo) add TD ' s. The Owls ' offensive line of Craig Witt, Owen Tabor, David Schaefer, Greg McGowan, and Mike Commerford blew gaping holes in the defense despite the imposing size of the Germantown line. For the night the Owls gained 364 total yards. The defense as a whole played well by containing the big Devils and making two impressive goal line stands. But the real hero of the game was Jay Steed. On offense, filling in for the injured Andy McCarroll, Steed gained 120 yards on 14 carries, including a 47-yard TD run. On defense he was more spectacular, blocking a field goal and making a devastating hit on Germantown fullback George Cantu on 4th down and goal from the 2-yard line to prevent the TD. MUS 38 Bartlett 9 Following a 50-yard kickoff return by David Disney, the Owls hit paydirt on their first possession and never looked back, scoring 24 points in the first half and sealing the victory with two more touchdowns in the 3rd quarter. Proving his versatility, Scott Williams becomes the quarterback in the Bartlett game on this sucker play by burning the Bartlett secondary with a long strike to Jay Steed. The pass led to one of the Owls ' five touchdowns in a 38-9 crushing of the AAA power-house. John Mona ghan kicks the extra point after the Owls ' first score against Germantown as Wesley Grace holds. As Dede Malmo watches after the handoff, Johnny Barringer prepares to burn some Saints by cutting back against the pursuit in the traditional season- opening victory against Briarcrest. After pushing Jay Siedell ' sface into the turf, Owen Tabor watches Andy McCarroll lower his head and carry both a helpless Brett Patterson and the ball across the goal line in a 28-7 win over the Patch. Seeing that the Bartlett free safety is the last man to beat, Parker Phillips turns on the afterburners after catching a twenty-yard pass from Dede Malmo. On the next play, the Owls made the score even and never looked back.

Fullback Johnny Barringer rushed for 1 26 yards on 14 carries, and tailback Andy McCarroll added 108 yards on 28 trips. But mistakes at key points prevented the Owls from scoring. McCarroU ' s 4-yard TD run was the lone score in regulation for MUS. In overtime, Parker Phillips made two TD grabs but in the third OT, Tupelo executed a trick-play two-point conversion. The defense, led by Malmo ' s 4 interceptions and Jay Steed ' s 2, shut down the boys from over the border, allowing them only 45 yards rushing. MUS 3 Kirby 28 MUS, ranked number-one in the state, and Kirby, ranked number six, met in a District showdown in which the winner would almost surely go on to the state playoffs. Unfortunately, most of the breaks seemed to go to Kirby as the dream was washed away in a torrent of rain, mud, and turnovers. The only bright spots were John Monaghan ' s 23-yard field goal and Jay Steed ' s 14 tackles, as the larger Cougars took advantage of turnovers to clinch the victory midway through the second half. MUS14CathoUc7 Down 7-0 early in the second quarter, the Owls tied the game on Dede Malmo ' s 76-yard touchdown strike to Jay Steed for a 7-7 halftime tie. The wet field conditions hampered both teams throughout the game; as a result, neither team could sustain a ground attack. However, Malmo managed to find David Disney for a 33- yard TD reception in the fourth quarter to provide the winning margin. Linebacker Will James anchored the defense with 1 1 tackles and 3 interceptions in the second half to stall Catholic drives and preserve the win. A familiar sight to opposing kickers and punters.

Jay Steed and Andy McArtor both added TD receptions, while John Monaghan booted a 27-yard field goal. The game was so lopsided that the only real excitement came during the postgame brawl that one player called a real alley- fight. The Buzzards were victorious in the post-game escapades as well to uplift the crowd ' s mood for the homecoming dance. MUS 42 Harding 13 Led by the strong running of tailback Andy McCarroll, the Owls trounced the Lions with an offensive barrage of 426 rushing yards and 20 first downs. The Owls got rolling on their second play from scrimmage as Dede Malmo scampered 5 1 yards for the touchdown. But the most potent weapon in the arsenal was McCarroll, who was simply unstoppable while running around, through, and over helpless Lion defenders enroute to 234 yards on 33 carries and four TD ' s. His yardage and attempts set new school records, while his four touchdowns tied a school record. The defense was just as impressive, limiting the Lions to 72 yards on the ground and 41 through the air. MUS 45 Collierville In the last home game of the season, the Owls put on a spectacular show as they scored in just about every way possible. As usual. Jay Steed was fantastic, catching five passes for seventy-four yards and three TD ' s. Scott Williams and Greg McGowe both scored on fumble recoveries. The defense was superb, allowing no pass completions and causing six fumbles.

Under coaches Dan Griffin and former student Troy Benitone, the team boasted a powerful offense that averaged 25 points a game and a tenacious defense that allowed just over 4 points a game. After Harding forfeited, the Owls pounded Ridgeway; running backs Pat Hopper and Robert Ducklo rambled for over a hundred yards each. Although known as a running team, the Owls used passes from quarterback Scott Sherman to receivers Sam Nickey and Greg Rhodes to enhance the offense. In the White Station game, Greg Rhodes kicked a 40 yard field goal, the first in MUS eighth-grade history. League championship hopes were dashed in a hard-fought 8-0 loss to Germantown. The defense was led by the play of Miles Fortas, Tripp Slappey, and Tommy Byrnes. Coach Griffin said, This was the most skillful and powerful group of eighth-graders to come along in several years. A good defensive effort by John Minor forces the Briarcrest quarterback ' s pitch to go awry in the 35-0 punishing of the Saints. As Sam Nickey rides roughshod over the Briarcrest lineman, quarterback Will Hughes drops back in search of an open receiver. Having gotten past the line, Ray Hayles searches for a gap in the Auburndale secondary. 8th FOOTBALL 69 FIGHTERS Frosh Close With Bang The ninth-grade football team, coached by Mr. Don Walker and Mr. John Cady, overcame adversity to post an outstanding 5-2 record. Continually outmanned in size and strength, the Owls combined a powerful offense and a staunch defense. After a disappointing loss at the hands of Germantown, the team rebounded at Bartlett. After a scoreless game for three quarters, Andrew McDermott, who had replaced an injured Scott McArtor, scampered for a 94-yard touchdown for a 6-0 lead. On the next possession, the freshman Owls backed into their own end zone, electing to take a safety instead of having to punt, thus insuring victory. Quarterback Thomas Hussey accounted for over 300 all-purpose yards in a 21-0 thrashing of Briarcrest. In the final game against Harding, behind by three points with 4 seconds to go, the team lined up for a field goal to tie. Holder Tommy Payne could not handle the snap, but picked the ball up, scrambled, and found Phillip McCaull alone in the end zone for a game-ending touchdown and a 6-point victory. Coach Walker exclaimed, The last play of the season showed the dedication and determination to win that this team possessed. Executing the Trap-1 1 to perfection, Thomas Hussey hands off to Michael Skouteris, who hit the gaping hole for a first down in the win over Harding. Stretching to his full length.

Under third-year coach Edgar Batey, the young team surprised many opponents with speed and determination developed in heart- wrenching workouts. Kyle King held the number-one position all year and ran a personal best of 16:00 in a quadrangular meet against Germantown, Bishop Byrne, and Millington. In the same meet, Elmore Holmes, the number-two man, ran a personal best of 16:20. The Harriers placed a strong fourth in the Regionals behind the three-four finish of Holmes and King. Both runners went on to compete in the state meet in Nashville. The J.V. team was extremely strong throughout the year. Their moment came when they won the MUS Invitational J.V. race; Joel Pope, who transferred from Auburndale and was running his first year of cross-country, won the race in a time of 18:15. The eighth-grade team, led by Peter Knoop, went 2- 1 during the season and twice defeated Harding, their only opponent, to capture the League Championship. And they ' re off!! Kyle King, Elmore Holmes, John Owen, and Jason Peters lead the pack at the start of a grueling three-mile run in the MUS Invitational, in which the Owls placed fourth. Pushing themselves to their limit, Edward Patterson and Pearce Hammond head toward the finish line en route to leading the J.V. team to a first-place finish in the MUS Invitational. One of the top four runners on the team, freshman Fred Schaeffer keeps pace with his opponent in a quadrangular meet with ECS, CBHS, and Skyview. CROSS-COUNTRY 73 JAMMIN ' JHT EMC Titles Taken Led by highly-touted All-State Honorable Mention Jim Barton, the varsity basketball team returned seven juniors from last year ' s squad to roar to an astounding 12-3 mark, which included the Josten ' s Holiday Tournament and East Memphis Classic crowns. The starting lineup varied in the first few games of the season, but eventually five of the seven seniors became starters. Tim Wise was at point, Allen Halliday and Brent Turner at wings, and Ted Simpson and Jim Barton at forwards. Coach Jerry Peters ' tough pre-District schedule provided the cagers with a strong foundation to build upon for the rest of the season. Playing Ridgeway, East, Germantown, CBHS, and Briarcrest in five of their first six games, the Buzzards slowly jelled under the tough competition. In the grueling opener at Ridgeway, junior Bo Allen came off the bench in the fourth quarter to score 1 3 points to spark the team to a narrow victory. But the Owls found East rough going in the second game as the Mustangs pulled out a seven-point victory at MUS. The loss was avenged two weeks later at East, as the Owls won for the first time ever there in a 54-53 upset of the powerful Mustangs. Barton had a game-high 29 points. In between the tough games. White Station provided the much-needed breathers. The Owls blasted the hapless Spartans twice as Barton broke the single- game scoring record he had set just last year against the same Spartan ball club. He had 44 points to break the record of 42 he held. Tommy Thompson had set the previous record of 4 1 in 1963. After the loss to Germantown, one in which Wise had an amazing 12 assists, the Owls prepared for the two holiday tournaments that would be held over Christmas break. The Buzzards claimed both titles: the Josten ' s Holiday Tournament at MUS and the East Memphis Exchange Classic at White Station. The Briarcrest Saints were the victims in both finals as Barton claimed both tournaments ' MVP awards. Wise and Turner were named to the JHT All- Tournament Team and Halliday was named to the EMC All-Tourney Team. Eyeing the ball with owl-sharp eyes, Jim Chips Barton and Ted Simpson go after the high rebound in the Harding blowout. 74 SPORTS Flying through the air with the greatest of ease, Jim Barton lays the ball up for two fast-break points in the 73-37 win over the Lions.

According to Coach Peters, the district, one of the toughest in the city, is composed of teams that can beat each other anytime. And the Kirby Cougars, as if to prove his point, gave the Buzzards a thrilling three-overtime battle before falling 57-55. Eight players deep, the team wiped out six straight opponents before suffering a loss, only their fourth, at Catholic. During the six game win-streak, the Owls shot a blistering 62% from the field to bury the Catholic Chargers 76-60 at home. Turner and Barton, along with Wise, sparkled in the non-district win at CBHS. Barton tossed in 24 points while Turner contributed 21 and Wise dished out a season-high 14 assists. As homecoming arrived, so did the snow. The scheduled game against Kirby was snowed out, and Bishop Byrne continued its annual tradition of being the homecoming opponent. Bo Allen and Barton delighted the crowd with 1 8 point and 24 point performances, respectively. They also each had eleven rebounds, and Allen had two blocked shots. The makeup game with the Cougars was no contest, as Barton poured in 30 points, and Wise handed out another 14 assists. The win clinched the District title for the Owls and unseated the defending- champion Cougars. Having claimed the District Title, the Buzzards played Briarcrest and Ridgeway to close out the regular season. Once again. Barton broke his own record. He poured in a record 5 1 points against the Roadrunners and claimed 1 1 rebounds. Just the night before, he had scored 33 against Briarcrest and hauled down 1 2 rebounds. Asked to describe Barton ' s performance, Coach Peters remarked, Phenomenal! Wise had 1 1 assists in each game.

Claiming our seventh District championship in eight years, MUS beat Kirby for the title. Bo Allen and David Chancelloir had 9 rebounds each as did Barton, who also pitched in 27 points. Overton was the first victim in the Regional, as the Owls put on a clinic in their Regional games. Allen tallied 1 6 points and 1 1 rebounds. Chancellor had 1 1 points, and Barton, well, 36 points and 12 rebounds. In an incredible, you-wouldn ' t-guess- this-in-your wildest-dreams semifinal against perennial nemesis East, the Owls routed the Mustangs. The score? This isn ' t a typo, 92-61 .

The Region championship against a small but lightning-quick Manassas was somewhat anti-climatic, but still playing out-of-their-minds the team won 73-65.

Barton (31 pts.) and Brent Turner (16 pts.) scored 33 of the Owls ' la st 37 points, shooting a torrid 70% from the field. What can you do against a team that shoots like that? asked BGA-coach Gary Smith. Lose, coach. In the semi-final game against Knoxville Austin-East, the team started red-hot, at one time holding an 8-point lead (22- 14), but the quick and talented Roadrunners tied the game at 30 by halftime. The Owls slowed the tempo in the third quarter, but were outscored 9-6 in the period. The fourth quarter was even; the gap was only two with 23 seconds to play, but there was no miracle finish as the game ended, 50-54. The superior physical strength and jumping ability of Knoxville were telling (we were out-rebounded 31-19), the referees allowed Barton to be mauled by two defenders in the second half (7 points in that half; he had 18 in the first), and we missed free throws and several shots in the fourth quarter. Coach Peters said, We have no regrets; this has been a good year and if they ' re the No. 1 team in the state, where does that put us? The team finished with a 31-5 record, the most wins in the school ' s history. The state finish was the highest ever. In another unprecendented event, the jersey of Jim Barton ( 42) was retired during a special chapel program. Coach Peters called Barton the greatest player he had ever coached and a true star. Tim Wise set a school record for most assists in a season with 309.

Jim Barton forces the BGA player to eat the ball in the opening win in the State Tournament in Nashville. Varsity Basketball — State Tournament D BALANCED JV ' ers Shock East Twice Utilizing raw talent and a well-balanced scoring attack. Coach Mark Counce ' s JV cagers defeated each opponent on their schedule at least once to roar to a 1 6-6 record. Excluding a five-game losing streak, the team played consistently and managed to blast the highly-touted East Mustangs twice. When asked about his team ' s early skid, Coach Counce noted that in the early part of the season, the team was mainly Fred Schaeffer, but after the skid, everybody began to contribute. Schaeffer led the team in scoring with a 12.5 average, and he had four 1 8-plus point games, including a brilliant 24-point performance against Briarcrest. Richard Hussey, who had 1 1 rebounds against Collierville, led the team with a 4.4 rebounds-per-game average. The defense was spectacular all year, holding opponents to an average of 40 points a game. In the Bishop Byrne game, the Owls held the Red Knights scoreless in the second quarter to pull away to a 20- point win. But the highlight of the year was the win at East. The game was not decided until the final minute, as the Owls nailed clutch free throws to seal the victory. Jim Kelley dished out twelve assists to help the team shoot a red-hot 61% from the field.

Hey Chris,-here ' s a dollar. Go get me a Coke and popcorn. I need to do something. The whistle sounds, signalling intermission, better known as half-time. So another upperclassman has suckered a Lower Schooler into standing in the mile-long concession stand line for him while he pursues other amusements. What can he do during this short period of time? Well, he can — sit and talk with his date — find a nice girl and plan the rest of the evening T .T ' hase girls talk with some friends sit and watch special halftime performers like the North Texas State University Marching Band or the Memphis Dreamboats — watch his favorite MUS cheerleader — watch the lucky girl be crowned Homecoming Queen — stand in the concession line himself — take a nap and be refreshed for the second half — sit and do nothing And the team goes into the locker room and rests, right? Wrong. One might see — Coach Walker diagnosing a player ' s injury and taping it — Players gulping the school ' s money in the form of Pripps or Gatorade — Coaches yelling at players and drawing up new plays while giving a pep talk — Managers scurrying to prepare for the second half The whistle sounds. How can all this happen during fifteen minutes? Down 3-0 at the half, Coach Steve Bradshaw of the varsity soccer team gives his players a few tips and pep talk. One of the reasons that the concession stand did not make its usual amount of half time revenue was the appearance of these three lovely ladies from North Texas who kept the entire student body captivated with their routine during the halftime of the Tupelo game. As Joel Sklar dreams about his date following the game, Coach Peters gives his players his characteristic scowl to prove his point. Just as eager as the crowd is, Julie Huettel and her escort, John Albritton, await the announcement of who will reign over the evening ' s festivities following the Buzzards ' win over Bishop Byrne. GUTSY Frosh Surprise Everybody Led by Thomas Hussey ' s aggressive baseline play, Kevin Tilley ' s boardwork, and Jason Peter ' s leadership at point, the ninth-grade basketball team, coached by Mr. Lin Askew, squeezed out a respectable 8-7 record. Despite a lack of size and speed, the Owls beat many good teams, including CBHS. After opening with a 30-29 overtime victory over Collierville, the Owls lost a tough road game to CBHS. Leading by six in the third quarter, the Buzzards were outscored 16-0 over a five-minute stretch in the second half. The freshman cagers closed out the win column before Christmas with a hard-fought victory over Kirby. Even though snow disrupted games and practice, the Buzzards went on a tear after Christmas, winning four straight. Three were on the road at Collierville, Kirby, and Bishop Byrne. Besides Hussey, Tilley, and Peters, Phillip McCauU, Tommy Payne, John Van Hoozer, and Andrew McDermott were also keys to the win streak. The team also showed improvement in losses. Against a talented Briarcrest squad, the Owls fell behind by as much as seventeen points only to storm back in the second half. Even though they lost the game by only four, the Buzzards missed a short jumper with seven seconds remaining that would have tied the game. The high point of the season, though, was the win over CBHS at home. Thomas Hussey scored a season-high sixteen points as the Owls avenged the earlier loss. Seeded fifth in their district, the netters dropped their opening game in the District Tournament to a tall and talented Millington team. Despite the loss, the Owls had a very successful year. Hussey led the team in scoring with a 7.1 average, and Tilley led the team in rebounding with a 7-rebound average. Looking one way and passing another. Tommy Paine disiies off another assist. The leading rebounder on the team, Kevin Tilley proves that he can be an offensive threat too, as he drives to the basket for two. 84 SPORTS Leading the fast break down the court, Thomas Hussey dishes off the ball between two Red Devils.

But they bounced back in style, stuffing their next four opponents and avenging the loss to Briarcrest on the enemy court. Superb defense and board work resulted in a 48-41 win and a tie for the Shelby League crown. En route to post-season play, the eighth grade claimed another title by beating the 26-2 Frayser Rebels in their own tournament. Greg Rhodes hit a lay-up with 5 seconds to go to beat the Rebels. In the Shelby League tournament, Hayles scored 28 in the double-overtime win over Harding in the semis. The team fell just short in the finals against Briarcrest. Summing up the year, Amsler said, More hustle might have made us unbeatable, but we had a very good year and I ' m proud of them, especially Jeff Koehn, who gave 1 10% every game. Surrounded by four Lions, Greg Rhodes brings the ball upcourt to set up the offense. Fouled by the Saint, Jeff Koehn lays the ball up to try for a three-point play in the close loss to the Patch. Banging the defensive boards, Dan Shumake hauls down another rebound. 8th Grade — BASKETBALL 87 As the opponent groans in pain, Chris Ledes squeezes out what desire is left in the Squirming like a worm, Mike Evangelisti of CBHS tries to avoid the pin by Will opponent to advance to the finals of the regionals.

The team fielded six state qualifiers: Sid Evans (105), Cliff Goldmacher (119), Jim Cole (126), Chris Ledes (132), Will James (167), and Greg McGowan(185). The opener against Harding proved to be no contest, as both Chris Ledes and Cliff Goldmacher pinned their opponents in less than fifty seconds to help the Owls to a 42-26 victory. However, the schedule got harder as the season progressed. Following two victories over Kirby and Fairley, the grapplers found a tough opponent in the Catholic Chargers. Facing a 30-15 deficit, the team combined some unexpected luck, in the form of Catholic forfeits and a decisive victory by Will James (167), to narrowly escape with the win. But the Purple Wave of CBHS were a different story. Even though they put up a gallant effort, the Owls couldn ' t pull it out. Bouncing back from the disappointing loss, the Buzzards took four straight, including one from the tough Pharaohs of Raleigh- Egypt. The re-match against CBHS was another tough loss. But Greg McGowan did decision the highly-touted Robert Lyles4-3. In between the dual meets, the tournaments provided a change of pace for the team. At the Millington Festival, five wrestlers won their weight classes: Goldmacher, Ledes, Chris Sullivan, James, and McGowan. In the District, the Owls claimed second, but the high finish was tarnished by the loss of State- contender Sullivan to a knee injury. Crippled by the loss, the team finished fourth in the Regional.

If some quadratic equations are really eatin ' your grade . . . Who ya gonna call? . . . MATH LAB! Math Labs, special help sessions meeting four times a week, have added the newest dimension to the MUS mathematics program. Both Mrs. Beth Edmonson in the Upper School and Mr Dan Griffin in the Lower School aid students needing more assistance than their own math teachers have time to give. Math Lab also allows teachers to learn of problems before students take tests. Mrs. Edmondson and the Math Department decided that regular help- sessions would be more effective than the impromptu aid given throughout the day. The Administration liked the idea of labs, especially since it would give them something else to point out to prospective students ' parents, and they appropriately rearranged the teachers ' schedules for their new assignments. Math Labs have proven a success. Though everyone does not take advantage of them, those that do, attend them often. They provide the extra explana tion sometimes necessary for both good and poor students to understand new concepts. They give students a second chance at learning. But above all else, they clearly show that teachers really do care. Proving that even the best of us sometimes need help, Parker Phillips shows Mrs. Edmonson his problem. The light begins to shine in the attic as John Tully listens closely to Mrs. Edmonson ' s explanation. 92 ACADEMICS Seeking to unlock the secrets of the mind, Michael Woodbury and Allan Halliday give a Psychology presentation. The use of precision instruments becomes a way of life for Physics students, as Chris Teague demonstrates. Bowling Carrying on our tradition of excellence in science, a team of chosen students traveled to the Science Bowl at U.T. Martin that featured competition from over fifty schools across the state. MUS boasted the second highest individual score (Bernhardt Trout ' s) and scored well enough as a team to advance into the Bowl competition itself. However, the Bowl team of Trout, Brett Waddell, Mike Woodberry, and Paul Young was eliminated in the second round. I In preparation, participants spent free periods and the bus trip to U. T. studying old tests with Mrs. Dorothy Cannon. But the real preparation came from the classes taken at MUS, from Phy.-Chem. to Physics. Studying intensely, Science Bowlers put in extra hours for the approaching competition at U.T. Martin. MATH SCIENCE 93 History Religion Deaderick ' s Three Although there are many formidable history courses offered, there are three in particular that arouse considerable trepidation in the students taking them, three that are taught by one man the Chairman of the History Department, Mr. Mike Deaderick. The elective courses A. P. American History, America Since ' 39, and American Military History all present singular difficulties. American Military History and America Since ' 39, sister courses, both review significant periods of time in minute detail. American Military History covers almost every American military engagement from the Revolutionary War to World War I. America Since ' 39 covers all aspects of American History from 1939, of course, to the present, going into great detail on WWII. Each course first of all teaches us what to expect from college, but, more importantly, teaches us of our past in the hope that we will not repeat the same mistakes in the future. Wondering why he has to repeat everything, Mr. Mike Deaderick again explains the correlation between the rise of American liberalism and the price of tea in China. Pondering his last Document Based Question, Andy McCarroll concentrates on his strategy for the next. 94 ACADEMICS Paying close attention to this week ' s feature film on World War II, Roy Tyler and Clay Smythe endure another America Since ' 39 class.

L HISTORY 95 Music Art A Change of Command The torch has been passed. Mr. Anthony Williams no longer heads the Music Department. Mr. John Hiltonsmith now has command, and, according to him, the Choral Music program will be better than ever. After taking the job, Mr. Hiltonsmith gave top priority to attracting more students for the choir. He cajoled some football players to join and allowed more girls to join in hopes of inducing more male students into his fold. Later in the year he required the students themselves to seek more members. The choir had an active concert schedule, including the traditional Christmas performance at night at MUS and a Christmas morning appearance on local television. The Spring Tour included a Mid- South choir competition, performances in Chattanooga and Atlanta, and a visit to Six Flags Amusement Park outside Atlanta. When asked about the choir ' s future in competition, Mr. Hiltonsmith said, We expect to do well this year, and in a couple of years to place in the first division. Taking over as piano accompanist for this piece, Susan Stimbert plays during the Christmas program. Directed by Mr. John Hiitonsmith ' s unerring hands, the choir hits most of the right notes during the Christmas program.

MUSIC, ART 97 The French Connection Many students take French as a language requirement. When asked why, some say that it can be used in the future. Others claim that it is easy. But most seem to like it to a large degree on account of Dr. Reginald Dalle. French I students are captivated by the pictures of various scenic wonders throughout Europe, the strange boxes on the roof that contain the headphones used for the French Tapes, and especially Dr. Dalle himself speaking fast, fluid French. The concentration on spoken French provides a unique learning experience. Most of the negative comments about the class concern the French Tapes. Students are assigned one or more tapes of an unknown person speaking hundreds of phrases in French a week. The only good that comes out of this, according to some students, is that they can sometimes listen to tapes during class instead of being lectured on obscure verb conjugations. Though the emphasis is on intense learning, Dr. Dalle succeeds in keeping the class interesting with his not always orthodox teaching methods and especially with the occasional non-textbook grammar thrown in to keep the students well-rounded. Scratching his chin in frustration. Dr. Reginald Dalle wonders if his students will ever learn to speak as fluently as he does. Searching through his desk, Dr. Dalle listens to Lyle Pierson ' s futile claims that he handed his homework in on time. English Foreign Languages 98 ACADEMICS For the thirteenth time, Mrs. Linda Miller explains to her second-year class that possum is a Latin verb and not a North American marsupial. Reading passages from A Separate Peace, Mr. Lin Askew fails to realize that his class is following along in different books. Junior Privileges Just as rising Seniors look forward to Senior privileges, Juniors always wait in anticipation for theirs — Junior English Review. JER consists primarily of seemingly endless lists of vocabulary words and readings on various aspects of the English language, accompanied by weekly tests on one hundred words and daily quizzes on readings. According to its teachers, FER provides the basic racabulary necessary to idvance in English and, almost nore importantly, to do well on ;he SAT and ACT. ENGLISH AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES 99 Lower School The First Steps The Lower School is the training ground where students learn the fundamental skills necessary to survive in the Upper School. Lower Schoolers are indoctrinated into the ways of the English language by Mr. Terry Shelton and Dr. Jane Caldwell. It is here that the young men first meet the unending lists of vocabulary words and the first of the papers so popular with the English Department. In addition to education in communication, students are introduced to the mysteries of upper-level mathematics and sciences. Mr. Dan Griffin and Mrs. Anita Hampson arrange the first meeting of many students with the basic algebra that leads to calculus. And Mrs. Alice Franceschetti teaches the basic concepts required to understand the less-basic concepts of chemistry. Each aspect of the Lower School is designed to prepare students for the Upper School, just as the Upper School prepares students for college. Stunned by her junior scientists ' question, When do we get to dissect real people? , Mrs. Franceschetti wonders whether her students ' eagerness is from a true love of science. After asking Mrs. Hampson if absolute values were meant to be on the test, Matthew Rosenburg realizes that they must have been taught on the day he slept through class. 100 ACADEMICS Assuming the relaxed position of an experienced disciplinarian, Dr. Ron Harris proceeds to give a lecture on talking in class. Outlined by a holy light, Mr. Dan Griffin, the priest of the god of mathematics, explains basic Algebra to a class of hapless initiates. i Actually doing homework during study hall, Patrick Hiley represents one of the main differences between the Upper and Lower Schools — free periods. LOWER SCHOOL 101 Physical Education Physically Fit Although many students do not consider P.E. a major part of their high school career, it is the only academic course that keeps the student physically fit. And with such activities as weightlifting, aerobics with the 20-minute workout girls, water polo, Softball, flag-football, team handball, basketball, volleyball, and long-distance running, P.E. has something for everybody. Although students would prefer a free period rather than twenty-minute workouts and long-distance running, students realize that these activities achieve physical fitness. Such sports as water polo, basketball, and team-handball easily over-shadow the more discouraging aspects of P.E. And in some gym classes, the grueling physical-fitness test and the twelve-minute run have been replaced by weekly exercise routines, such as weightlifting, which are more popular. Student assistants aid the coaches in P.E., doing whatever needs to be done, such as instructing students on how to do their exercises properly, refereeing games, and supervising the larger classes. Concentrating on putting up another 10 pounds for Mom, apple pie, and the football team, Michael Skouteris strives to become another Incredible Hulk. In charge of a Lower School gym class, P.E. assistant Charles Frankum supervises weightlifting. 102 ACADEMICS Sitting This One Out When a person walks into gym class, he is immediately impressed by the flurry of activity, the skill possessed by the participants, the zestful exuberance exhibited by all, and the inertness of a small group of students sitting against the wall paying no attention whatsoever to the activity on the floor. Almost every day, gym coaches are greeted with a hail of notes, wails, and gnashings of teeth by students seeking exemption from their daily activities due to illness or other calamity. And each day some succeed, and others fail. But it is all part of the game, the note game, the same as played by Lower Schoolers with library passes. Suffering from a disease known as testitus, Gene Tibbs, Mark Salky, and Will McGowan diligently study during an action-packed team-handball game. f ' Driven by a desire to excel, Tripp Wilson displays the proper technique for the doggies.

Humanities students begin studying promptly after lunch outside Room 18. Consistent as always, super-student Kenneth Webber studies at his semi-private booth in the library during 7th period Friday. 104 ACADEMICS When and Where When and Where do we study? The question hardly needs to be answered. By walking through the halls, anyone can see that the answers are ANYTIME and EVERYWHERE. Students study in the library, the foyer, the halls, and, amazingly, the lounge; and they study before class, after class, and even during class. It seems that students study everywhere but at home. The most studious choose the library to while away their free periods in scholarly bliss. The less-dedicated choose the foyer, where there are no guardians of silence, or, more often the lounge, where the god of noise, the radio, perpetually blares. However, wherever students go, most successfully waste their time and are forced to study on the move and to hastily skim their material before their teacher ' s door. Nevertheless, most students can be found studying at all times during the day. Whether history or math, they study. Whether fourth period or fifth, they study. Whether in the lounge or the library, they study. They study anytime and everywhere . . . except maybe seventh period Friday, anywhere. Intensely concentrating, Scott McArtor shows how to get as comfortable as possible in a straight-backed chair. WHEN AND WHERE 105 icinrngeenrHTTly R fafneT.

Under Parker Phillips ' skilled summer leadership the council held the Garage Sale along with four car washes, attended the MAIS Leadership Conference at Sewanee in mid-July, and returned to end the summer with Orientation. As school started, the Watermelon Feast was held, and the Victory Dance celebrated our annual win over Briarcrest with the sounds of Zebop. The Fall Fest broke all previous records. With Football Homecoming, the council once again gave students the chance to dance, this time to the beat of Forist. The council broke the boredom of the second semester with the Student Council Movie and numerous second-half-of- lunch activities such as basketball shoots, field goal kicking contests, and lounge jams. Basketball Homecoming colored February as well as Student Exchange Day and the traditional swapping of Val- O-Grams for Valentine ' s Day. The council assisted the Civic Service Club in producing the Talent Show. The last event of the school year was the Spring Formal (the best ever) as The White Animals rocked the Airport Hilton to everyone ' s appreciation and closed out the year with a bang. The council sponsored many new projects during the year including a second-semester intramurals program and a financial-aid program for clubs that needed money. Parker Phillips summed up the year saying, We had a great time working with everybody trying to change the drudgery of some old events. We hope to be remembered as a council that did something new and different and fun. Car washing experts Dean Sicwcrt, John Dobbs, John Moore, Lindsay Bycrs, and Ted Miller put a shine on this car at one of the council ' s summer fund-raisers.

Looking for guidance in a pending case, officers Jeff Kelsey, Andy McCarroU, and William Wadsworth try to decide what Judge Wapner would do in the People ' s Court. 110 ORGANIZATIONS Honor Council Council Fosters Strong Character y Comfortable Setting The Honor Council sets us apart from other schools. Students feel free to leave their personal belongings in the halls without the fear of having them taken; teachers feel free to leave the room while students are taking a test. We have confidence in each student that he is doing his own work and is becoming the best student he can be. The purpose of the Honor System is to foster a high spirit of honor and integrity in the student body. Through the honor and integrity of the school, one is able to build his own character for the future. However, when certain situations arise in which someone has violated the Honor System, the students, through the officers of the Honor Council, decide what action should be taken. The Honor Council is there, not as a police force, but as a group of concerned students willing to show the violator his mistake and why it is wrong. We receive many privileges from the Honor System, and we are very fortunate to have such a system. — William Wadsworth, President President William Wadsworth and faculty advisor Mr. Norman Thompson strike this casual pose while looking at the council ' s records.

NEWSPAPER 113 On the Cutting Edge On the cutting edge — the theme of the 1984 two- million dollar endowment campaign became the theme of the 1985 yearbook. Under the direction of advisor Mr. Ellis Haguewood and editor-in-chief Ken Jones, photography editor Elmore Holmes, darkroom editor Bob Thompson, and a staff of inexperienced but dedicated section editors, plans became reality and ideas became a yearbook. Like the endowment campaign, the advertising campaign, under business manager Chris Crosby, was the best ever: over $8000 was raised in ad sales. Most of the putting together, the planning, the writing was done on Saturdays, days which annual staffers gave up from September through February. As editor Ken Jones put it, I had no idea what I was getting into. It ' s been fun, but the work load is incredible. Fortunately I was surrounded by a solid group of diligent and persevering section editors who did most of the work and did it well. When asked about innovations in his book.

YEARBOOK 115 Spirit Groups O-W-L-S! Spirit ran high, thanks to the enthusiastic leadership of the cheerleaders, yell leaders, and pep band. The cheerleading squad, led by captain Meg Byers, began its season by attending a camp at Arkansas State University. While there the girls captured the Spirit Award as well as First Place in the Large Varsity division. During the year the girls not only attended all football and basketball games but also performed in three pep rallies. Helping out the cheerleaders were the yell leaders, said by sponsor Mike Deaderick to be the best squad ever. These spirited students practiced a little tumbling over the summer, which was cut short by captain Lee Schaefer ' s breaking his collarbone. The group quickly bounced back though and led the fans in cheering their teams on to victory. A main attraction was the Ish Kabibble Memorial Pep Band. Started by Mr. Flip Eikner while he was a student in 1975, the band now has grown to ten members. The musicians are often in the stands during sporting events playing popular music as well as the MUS fight song. The students are extremely dedicated and arrive early every morning to practice. When asked about the band ' s name, Eikner said, Ish was a real person. He was a trumpet player on Kay Kyser ' s KoUege of Musical Knowledge. Moving to the beat, Elizabeth Pounders gives her all in preparation for Friday ' s football game. The hard practice put in by the cheerleaders produced many excellent routines. Lacey Scott and Don Lake share a laugh during a time-out in the basketball game against Harding. Enthusiastic cheerleaders made basketball games more enjoyable, and students often packed the stands. 116 ORGANIZATIONS HEERLEADERS: bottom row: Paula Proctor, Lacey Scott, Meg Byers, Delane endrix, Lacey Wadlington, Elizabeth Pounders, Deborah Bass, top row: Lindsay yers, Laura McArtor, Daye Elkin.

Service, Fun, and Fellowship The Fellowship of Christian Athletes serves to bring students of the Christian faith closer together in thought and activity. Under president Andrew Walt and advisor Mr. John Cady, FCA members have enjoyed a cookout, a basketball tournament, and monthly breakfasts before school held at members ' homes. Guest speakers, such as Coach Mark Counce, give an inspirational message to the members at the breakfast. The Civic Service Club organized more activities and raised more money than ever before. The club began by bringing 1 5 kids from the Boys Club of Memphis to the Fall Fest. At Thanksgiving the club sponsored a successful can drive, sending food to the food bank at Evergreen Presbyterian Church. Fundraising began after Thanksgiving with weekly donut and pizza sales. The main fundraiser, Charity Week, was postponed due to snow, but came off as planned the next week with the enjoyable Senior Pizza Pigout, the Rock-a-Thon, and the record setting Talent Show. President Joel Sklar said, The Talent Show went excellently with the Wooly Mammoths winning first place and our club bringing in over $11 00. Other activities included the first annual MUS-Special Olympics basketball tournament, the Easter Seals Telethon, a blood drive, and a trip to the zoo with the Easter Seals kids. After hearing a few inspirational words from Coach Mark Counce, seniors Tim Wise, Dede Malmo, and Ted Simpson dig right in at an FCA breakfast. Dede looks up in horror, fmding that one of his fellow members has taken the last biscuit. FCA, CIVIC SERVICE 119 Government Club Students Learn Political Arts Many students are interested in politics. One way that they show this interest is by joining a government club and participating in extra-curricular activities. The Government Club, with the aid of Mr. Michael Deaderick and President Chris Crosby, helped set up the Model U.N. at Rhodes College, where the students represented the countries of India, Great Britain, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, and Israel. At this session, Brian Browder, Chris Crosby, Richard Nichol, Bill McKelvy, and Chris Donovan won honorable mentions for their presentations. The Government Club has participated in Mock Trial Competition, Close Up in Washington, and the National Convention of Christians and Jews. Some of the members of the Government Club are also members of the Youth in Government Club which includes girls from Hutchison. Led by Governor Bill McKelvy, this club participated in the State Convention in Nashville, where they learned about the legislative process. At the Rhodes College Model U.N., Gene Tibbs, Adam Segal, and Michael Pickens review their notes of the latest debate to prepare for the next meeting of the Political Security committee.

Although Lower Schoolers are not included in most of the Upper School clubs and activities, they take it upon themselves to find their own things to do and set up their own clubs. The Student Council of the Lower School provides the leadership. With President Robert Ducklo organizing the council, they raised money for the main social event of the Lower School, the spring dance. For many, this dance is the first they have attended, the first date even, and everything has to be perfectly planned. The Half Hoot gives those who are interested in journalism an early opportunity to get involved and learn something of the art and hard work that goes into the production of a newspaper. The staff tried using computers for a change to help them prepare all the copy, and most of them found that getting a paper together was not as easy as they had expected. Latin may be called a dead language but the Latin Club tries as hard as it can to prove it is alive. They held several parties and contests, such as their Christmas party and lo Saturnalia card contest, and they also put on a skit about Latin for Assembly. But the highlight of the Latin Club is the Tennessee Junior Classical League annual state tournament held in Clarksville. The Junior Beta Club, the honor club of the Lower School, held fall and spring inductions. Only the brightest boys with the highest grades are allowed into this organization. The newly created Pick the Winners Club challenges the members to see who can call the professional sports games the closest. The person who has sco red the most points at the eqd of the year wins a trophy.

Junior Stewart Austin once again directed the TV staff through another productive year. Besides their usual duties of playing out films for classes and taping sporting events, the staff also filmed the Turkey Bowl and Senior- Faculty Basketball Game. Austin was assisted by ' 82 graduate Steve Mook in remaking the orientation film this past summer, and the studio received some new playout machines. Another new addition was Bob Thompson and Anthony Morrison ' s commentary during the football films along with half-time chats with Clay Smythe and Dean Siewert. The darkroom staff had a busy year under three-year veteran Bob Thompson. The staff is responsible for printing every roll of film taken by the student photographers and then filling requests for specific pictures for use in all of the school publications. Elmore Holmes, photography editor for this year ' s publication, also had a busy year. His duty is to make sure that all events are covered by a photographer from his staff so that the newspaper and yearbook will have pictures for any story or spread.

CCTV, DARKROOM, PHOTOGRAPHY 125 Variety Clubs Variety Is The Spice of Life The main purpose of the Latin Club is to prepare the students for the State Latin Tournament, said club president Gene Hamilton. We want to have a better showing this year than we ' ve had in years past. French culture was the focus of Dr. Reginald Dalle ' s Wednesday afternoon talks for the French Club. President Richard Werman and Dr. Dalle managed to keep the students interested during talks by bringing French food to the meetings. One of this year ' s new clubs was the Bowling Club started by Alex Williams. Known for their monogramed shirts and member nicknames, the club bowled at Billy Hardwick ' s All-Star Lanes and Poplar Plaza Lanes. Williams said about the club, The club has achieved more than any other club ever hoped to achieve. We will be remembered for the rest of time. Another new club, the Theater Arts Club, was started and presided over by Hudson Adams and Mike Carroll. The purpose, according to Adams, is to support theater not only at MUS but also around the Memphis area. Me mbers ' activities included attending Zorba at the Orpheum and The Music Man at Harding Academy. The MUSe, after slight problems and changes in command, was back on its feet again under new editor Bob Coleman and new advisor Dr. Jane Caldwell. The staff met at each other ' s houses each Saturday to plan the magazine. In order to increase interest, a $50 prize was awarded for the best poem, best short story, and best art work. The staffs hard work produced the MUSe before the end of the year.

The group, composed of Broncos and a few Jeeps, had the main objective of just having a good time in the mud. The Ski Club combined both winter and summer sports to make the club a year-round activity. The summer was highlighted by a trip to Horseshoe Lake, while the winter project was a spring trip to Steamboat Resort arranged by President Andy McArtor. Several cycling trips and participation in the Memphis in May triathlon were the principal activities of the Bicycle Club. President Mason Jones said the club was part fun and part training for the triathlon. The race is a combination of a 1 .5 K swim, a 40K bike ride, and a lOK run. A small number of members, led by Jones, participated. Veteran triathlon participant Mason Jones sports the latest in cycling fashions. OUTDOORS CLUBS 129 Games Clubs Tournament Time The fact that almost ten tournaments were held proves that games clubs are still popular pastimes for students. Composed of more than 75 members, the Chess, Backgammon, Ping-Pong, and Billiards clubs all sponsored at least one tournament each for the student body. The Chess Club was revived with help from sponsor Mrs. Alice Franceschetti and became the school ' s most active games club. Members not only attended a tournament in Crossville, TN, in late November but also hosted an MUS Invitational in February. All members are national ly rated through their membership in the United States Chess Federation, and two have championship rating. The club, which meets on Wednesday afternoons, ended the year by attending the State Chess Tournament. Headed by Paul Young, the Backgammon Club sponsored a tournament each semester open to the entire student body. The use of club dues and a donation from Anthony Morrison ' s father enabled the Ping-Pong Club to buy itself a new table. The club ' s president, Salil Parikh, also organized a second-semester tournament. Another tournament was sponsored by the Billiards Club. Under president Rob Williams, members played pool at Highland Cue, Newby ' s, and the Byers ' house.

Five honorary societies held inductions to honor outstanding achievements by students: Cum Laude, National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Mu Alpha Theta, and Red and Blue Society. Excellence, Justice, Honor is the motto of the Cum Laude Society. Membership is the highest academic honor a student can receive. To be considered for membership in the National Honor Society a student must maintain an 85 or above average. Admission into the Society is then dependent upon the student ' s qualities of leadership, scholarship, service, and character. Students who perform superior work in school publications while maintaining a high academic average are honored by their induction into Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school journalists. Mu Alpha Theta provides public recognition of superior mathematical scholarship and promotes competitive activities. Membership is based on exceptional aptitude and enthusiasm in the field of mathematics. The Red and Blue Society honors seniors who have shown outstanding service and leadership to the school. Members are nominated by the administration, faculty, and student body and approved by Mr. Thorn.

Eighth-Semester Apathy The Senior Slump — It ' s a tradition like the Honor Code. As Bill Dean put it, I don ' t have time to worry about grades. Too many parties going on. Though it probably stems from knowing the grades don ' t count, or from extra-curricular endeavors, such as college applications and general hoopla and merry-making, or from total exhaustion from the previous seven semesters, the Senior Slump is almost inevitable. In order to keep the grades respectable, the administration rewards an exam exemption if a senior keeps an 85 or above average. But as usual, many seniors end up taking exams, believing a few points off the grade-point average is worth the extra time for outside pursuits. Despite disdain from parents and the administration, the Senior Slump has become a tradition. Smiling with pure satisfaction. Hank Lee dreams about the North, Northern women, and big, green trees.

Girls, Parties and Decisions For the parties and the girls — that ' s why I take college visits, exclaimed Brent Turner. The college visit represents one of the high points of a senior ' s career. Seniors being allowed three college visits per semester, college visits are a great way to party and legally excuse oneself from school. Most college visits usually take the same format. A person familiar with all aspects of college life takes the visitor around campus and gives the same college speech: best parties, best teachers, best food, and overall one of the best institutions in the country. Often seniors stay overnight, talk to undergraduates, and indulge themselves in a college party. Apart from the fun, college visits assist a senior in making one of the biggest decisions of his life: choosing the right college. Says Ken Jones, The college visits were the main factor in helping me decide which college I wanted to attend. ■ bh R SB Mm m I 1 1 Senior Ken J ms uses one of his college visits Todd Randolph Dudley Football 9; Pep Club 9, 1 0, 1 2; Civic Service Club 1 1 . 1 2: Backpacking Club 9, 10.

Of the 86 members of the senior class, 1 5 were selected as National Merit Semi-Finalists or were awarded a Letter of Commendation. In addition, SAT scores averaged over 1 100, while ACT scores averaged over 26, both averages being far above the national level. Receiving various academic awards such as membership in National Honor Society, Cum Laude, and Mu Alpha Theta, many seniors showed their academic prowess by taking accelerated or Advanced Placement courses. As a result of four years of hard work, several seniors ended up at some of the top colleges in the country such as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. Said Roger Vowell, I ' ve had to work harder at MUS than at other schools, but it ' s worth it. Using his free period wisely, Rob Lillard Hnishes up his term paper. SENIORS 143 Anthony A.

We Get Letters Even after I got accepted, I kept getting tons of mail from little colleges that I ' ve never heard of, explained an exasperated Salil Parikh. As the tide of fall-semester exams rolls in, seniors have already been inundated by waves of college mail. Mail arrives from Deep Springs College in the middle of the California desert, from Eckerd College in Florida, and from the Auto-Diesel College in Nashville. Most letters are filed in the wastebasket; some are saved for laughs; a few are read seriously.

The juniors are privileged to learn the true meaning of this word in Junior English Review along with the meaning of 1 199 other words. Reviewing all the grammar that one has studied in the past years and relearning many forgotten words produces a special feeling inside each student and initiates many questions: Why do we have to know these words? Why does it matter whether we use shall or will? How does not using contractions make me a better person? The questions are different, but the answer is always the same: Because you ' re gonna get it on the SAT and the SAT determines who goes to Harvard and who goes to Bob Jones University.

FRESHMEN 163 Students Studying on Saturday? Only in S Who are these villains in Saturday School? They have committed numerous enormities and they are posted on the bulletin board for all to see: improper parking, cut Saturday School 10 20, disobedience, ungentlemanly behavior, improper dress, excessive tardiness 6 . . . On the appointed Saturday the guilty parties drag their tired, beaten bodies to school in hopes of a quiet place to rest without their little sister bothering them, only then finding that sleeping will get them another S . A true Saturday School scholar would know to bring a large enough book to hide behind or to try to postpone his punishment until Mr. Amsler is monitoring the class. It is doubtful that S is an adequate deterrent to delinquency because Room 17 is normally filled from 9-1 1 a.m. on Saturdays.

At promptly 3:20 the gentlemen arrive. The shadow, Mr. Springfield, presides over the not-so-sullen group. He determines who gets to pick up paper in the study corners and who is lucky enough to clean the dreaded halls.

At the end of the gantlet they stop suddenly, arrested, frozen by a single word: Men! spoken in stentorian tone by Mr. John Springfield, master of the Lower School. Rest assured, heads will roll. Although this hall appears fairly orderly, at any moment a herd of violent eighth- graders could come stampeding through, knocking seventh- graders to their knees.

Although Mr. Batey was extremely busy teaching 7th and 8th science as well as physical science and coaching the 8th-grade basketball, cross-country, and track teams, he accepted the job and has added a new dimension to it, making an effort to really encourage students to come in and talk. In his new position, Mr. Batey became responsible for many administrative duties. He administers the I.Q., PSAT, and CTP tests; sponsors Career Day, the Peer Council, academic counseling, and New Student Orientation. In addition to his counseling responsibilities, Mr. Batey now teaches psychology classes and will be the advisor for the MUS-in-England program. Mr. Batey still coaches the cross-country team and the distance runners and vaulters on the track team. Although Mr. Batey is extremely busy with all his responsibilities around school, students always feel comfortable coming to him with their problems because as Mr. Batey says, Feel free to come and see me anytime. My door is always open. IVhile posing for the photographer, Mr. Eddie Batey pretends to be talking to a student. FACULTY 181 Mrs. Dorothy A.

FACULTY 183 A Man of Many Interests Some of the background qualifications which Mr. Jerrold Omundson brings to his position as Chairman of the Chemistry Department and teacher of chemistry are those of a college teacher, a Navy Pilot, a swimming coach for a state championship team, an active church member, a writer of scientific articles, and a nationally recognized science educator. One of his main objectives is to teach the student how to think logically, and he uses chemistry as a vehicle to do this. Rule of thumb, simple fifth-grade Mrs. Margaret McPherson Typing. arithmetic, and basic concepts are some of the phrases familiar to the students who have been in his classes. In June, 1984, Mr. Omundson served on the Tennessee State Selection Committee for the 1984 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science Teaching. Also, on August 29, 1984, he was appointed to the American Chemical Society ' s National 1985 Olympiad Test Development Committee.

' UfM You ' re all familiar with the adage: A stitch In time saves nine. In the security business, this means taking care of all your security needs before it ' s too late— before you suffer a loss of assets that you could have avoided had the proper precautionary measures been taken. As you further your educational endeavors, a stitch in time means choosing a field of study that will set you on the right career path, enabling you to achieve those goals you now dream of. You know you want a career that ' s exciting, chal- lenging, and satisfying— one that can benefit society as well. So consider a career in the fast-paced, rapidly expanding security industry. A course of study in criminal justice can set you on your way to achieving your success, to realizing your dreams. When you ' ve met the challenge, when you ' ve opened your mind to the intellectual stimulation, to the practical knowledge that criminal justice has to offer, you ' ll be ready to put your skills to the test— to approach security problems and prove your ability to solve them efficiently and with all the analytical creativity you can muster. Then you ' ll be ready for Guardsmark, the innovative leader in the security industry. Guardsmark ... a stitch in time.

The Owl 1985 is the result of the hard work of numerous people who deserve a lot of credit. I would especially like to thank Mr. Ellis Haguewood. In his 13th year as yearbook advisor, he found himself with an inexperienced group of section editors on his hands. He helped us to learn the ropes of yearbook work, and he gave us countless hours of expert guidance and hard work. Without Mr. Haguewood, this book would not have been possible. I am also indebted to a fine staff of section editors who contributed a large chunk of their free time, not just to get the book done, but to get it done well. It should be noted that most of these editors were also actively involved in other activities including soccer, football, wrestling, plays, Civic Service Club, and Government Club. Special thanks go to Bob Thompson, Elmore Holmes, and Paul Young. In his third year as darkroom editor, Bob worked hours and hours to make sure the editors got the top-quality prints that they needed. Elmore arranged for pictures to be taken at the multitude of school events, and he took a lot of pictures himself. Besides tackling the huge sports section almost single- handedly, Paul worked hard in the darkroom and took some great pictures. Thanks to the numerous students who made small yet important contributions working in the darkroom, taking pictures, writing copy, and typing. MUS is an outstanding school — truly on the cutting edge — and I hope that this book in some way reflects the school ' s excellence. — Ken Jones SPECIFICATIONS I Publisher: Taylor Publishing Company.

THANKS AND SPECS 245 Cutting a Path to Excellence Singing in the chorus of Oklahoma. Working hard all year in preparation for that one A. P. test. Spending Saturday helping out at the Special Olympics basketball tournament sponsored by the Civic Service Club. Reaping the rewards of diligent study by being inducted into the Junior Beta Club or Cum Laude. Learning about our country ' s judicial system by participating in the mock trial contest. Earning that first varsity letter after hours of physical development and hard practice. In the classroom and outside the classroom we work hard and play hard; our efforts put us on the cutting edge. Proudly displaying their school spirit, John Apperson and John Monaghan show who ' s 1 at the East Memphis Exchange Club Classic basketball tournament held at White Station. The Buzzards claimed the crown with a hard-fought victory over Briarcrest. With careful thought, Richard Nichol composes an essay for his Dartmouth application, which has a fast-approaching deadline. Four years of conscientious study by students like Richard makes these scholars viable candidates for the best colleges in the country. 246 CLOSING • rfflk 0Cfi Rah, Rah, Rahl Rah! Rah!. . . Mr. Thorn gets the student body in the right mood for the Basketball Homecoming game against Bishop Byrne with his traditional 1 5 short and snappy rah ' s. j CLOSING 247 Sharing words of wisdom gained from six years of experience, senior Bob Thompson tells seventh-grader Jennings Durandthat to get the most out of MUS he should study hard and actively participate in extra-curricular activities. From Cutting Teeth to Cutting the Knot Cutting their teeth in their first year, the seventh graders faced new experiences: going to classes on a rotating schedule, making new friends, and eating in the Clack Dining Hall. While the seventh graders were getting a feel for their new environment, at the other end of the spectrum, seniors became leaders, carried on school traditions, and struggled to find that ideal college — preparing themselves to cut the knot and leave their comfortable MUS environment. Next fall, these seniors will be the ones cutting their teeth at college campuses all over the country.
