It ' s not easy to be the Ring Leader. It ' s not easy for over 40% of the Senior Class to achieve National Merit Semi-finalist status or receive a Letter of Commendation. It ' s not easy to place third in the state soccer tournament against all odds. It ' s not easy for The Owl and The Owl ' s Hoot to win national acclaim annually. It ' s not easy to have students accepted to Stanford, Harvard, Rice and many other exceptional universities. It takes Commitment En route to a 14-0 shutout of perennial powerhouse Brentwood Academy, the Owl defense flaunts the hustle and tenacity of a state- champion team as end Diego Winegardner sticks the quarterback before linebacker Walter Scott can block his pass. Managers of the most productive ad campaign in school history, Joel Morrow and John Pitts distribute some sixty-five pizzas, one to each student who has sold an ad, while Joel ' s brother, Richard, waits impatiently to get the dadgum, greasy things out of [his] new truck. COMMITMENT 5 It ' s our job to wear the coat and tie. It ' s our job to pull the education and the experience and the excellenpe together and build the true gentleman. It ' s our job to uphold the honor system that generates the school ' s productive atmosphere. It ' s our job to donate Lifeblood or bring a soup can for the Memphis Inter-Faith Association Food Bank. It ' s our job to put the truth and honor in Veritas Honorque. It takes Integrity. Greeting City School Superintendent Dr. Willie Herenton, Civic Service Club President Joel Morrow attends a United Way Banquet at the Peabody Hotel to present a $350 check in one of the Club ' s charitable efforts. Accepting with a sincere, look you in the eye handshake, Elmore Holmes receives a fourth-place medal in the MLJS Cross Country Invitational from his classmate Stewart Austin. Both Elmore and Stewart, as Photography Editor and CCTV Director respectively, are vital, |jehind-the-scenes performers in extra-curricular life. 6 OPENING Walking tall, John Dulin represents everything that these new seventh-graders want to be in five years as he leads them around the campus on Orientation Day. John is known for his hard work and ability to get things done as well as his dignified, businessman look. INTEGRITY 7 i 8 OPENING It ' s good to hear Who dat talkin bout beatin dem buzza ' ds drown out any opposing cheers. It ' s good to be able to relax and converse with friends in the lounge or the foyer — or the library — during free periods. It ' s good for us all to see the red and blue clad rowdies at every ball game and the scarlet letter U on proud chests that says That ' s right. MUS, baby. It ' s good to belong to a strong, versatile class and any number of clubs. It ' s good to know that Hooplah and Merrymaking await us when the tests are passed and the papers written. It takes Camaraderie, It takes integrity. It takes commitment . to be the Ring Leader. Despite the good advice of his peers, John Ed Ogles smiles during his Fall Fest mud-match against ex-tag-team partner Jason Hughes. Neither of these Heavenly Bodies emerged victorious, but John Ed did get a mouthful. Sly David Chancellor actually believes that he is responsible for Lacey Wadlington ' s crowning as Football Homecoming Queen during halftime of the Harding game. 1 ■ ■• ' ■ f f r ' % ' Mk. ;V . 1. 1 V ! .,; |3tf X 1 •I 9 A Mpf t tk W 9 i m W,. „i f.

Enjoy the tunes of our very own Wooly Mammoths in chapel, or at the Fall Fest, or a dance somewhere around town. Try to enjoy the radio playing in the lounge, though more often than not it is drowned out by the endless tall-tale chatter about what happened last weekend and what ' s gonna happen this weekend. Wait for that 3: 1 5 bell to ring. Enjoy a trip through rock ' n ' roll history during the spring Musical Review. And sing along, Go big team down the field, and honors bring to the red and blue, at a pep rally on a rowdy grub day. The ring of laughter can always be heard where ring leaders come together. Student Life MUST A ' D ' s spring play. She Stoops to Conquer, an eighteenth-century comedy of wit by Ohver Goldsmith, finds Mike Commerford lecturing Andrew Babian, David Gold, Bartlett Durand, and Carrie Mook on the vices of stealing silverware. At the Faculty-Student Bar-B-Q Picnic, Mr. Terry Shelton eavesdrops as Hal Bailey, Dave Evans, and Jody Graham regale one another with fabricated stories of their exploits the night before. Mr. Shelton is sitting next to Melissa Thompson, daughter of his English Department colleague, Mr. Norman Thompson.

Stuart McCloy, Sterritt Armstrong, Andy Wright, David Chancellor, Andy McArtor, Hal Bailey, and Bo Brooksbank are the nervous students. 12 STUDENT LIFE May Daze spring engendered perennial attitudes. Seniors, who had already been accepted into institutions of higher learning, were inevitably caught up in the typical spit-in-the-water-I ' ve- already-had-my-drink attitude. Juniors were enraptured by a premature feeling of power created by Student Council elections. Students in all grades enjoyed activities like She Stoops to Conquer, spring-break trips to Florida and Colorado, and the Student-Faculty Bar- B-Q before a Saturday baseball game with ECS. On a spring break trip to Steamboat in Colorado, the Ski Club poses for a picture after falling over a clumsy Edwin Streuli. Andy and Scott McArtor, Trip Wells, Ricky Heros, Craig Nadel, Jim Kelley, Diego Winegardner, Johnny Barringer, Chris Teague, and, of course, Edwin spent most of the week in a vertical position. Candidate for Student Welfare Commissioner Andy Wright tries to buy votes with Mom ' s home-baked cookies, but he has few takers. Although Wright lost the election, a week later he was elected Senior Class president. t ( fwWwf 4 P.T r- I SPRING 13 In front ofStonehenge, the MUS-in-England group poses: Jim Cole, Ed Patterson, Courtney Morris, John Dulin, Paige Stribling, Ward Simmons, John Tully, Virginia Reed, John Morris. At Castle Anis near Salzburg, Austria, Dabney Collier stands up straight, smiles, and tries to blend into the Austrian countryside. Always adventurous and courageous, Mr. Skip Daniel spent part of his summer rafting down the Colorado River. He stands in front of the dangerous Lava Rapids (rated 10 on a scale of to 10), which drops 37 feet in 100 yards. 14 STUDENT LIFE Out and About Once again, summer found our students out and about the world. Traveling with other students (MUS-in-England), traveling with parents, or traveling alone, we made our marks from the American West to England, from the Orient to the Middle East, from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Mexico. While visiting the ruins of a temple on a stopover from the Greek Islands tour he took with his parents, Bryan Krauch shows his tennis shoes to their godmother and namesake, the goddess Athena-Nike. On a tour of Israel, Mark Salky and Brian Israel stand at Masada, site of a historic first-century Jewish-Roman confrontation. Traveling through Europe with his brother Mike (MUS ' 85), junior Keith Woodbury gives the Tower of Pisa a helping hand. SUMMER VACATION 1 5 Year RQUND Empty halls. Barred doors. Silent lounge. Clean lockers. Abandoned chapel. But hark! Voices! Wellford Tabor and Wesley Grace being surrounded by greasy camp kids. Football and basketball players perspiring and preparing for the season to come. Summer schoolers jumping ahead of their fellow classmates. MUS presses for excellence even during the summer — and there ' s a lot to do: day camp, basketball camp, summer school, football training. Student Council events — and changes to be made: a new football field, a new lounge floor, a new roof Our school operates twelve months each year. Much of the school ' s success is due to strenuous preparation over the summer, from manual labor to brain games. Watching the newly planted grass grow, Coach Jake Rudolph wonders if the field will be ready for the opening game. It was. Hitting the practice field aX 7:30 a.m., on their own time, throughout the summer, Andy McArtor, David Newman, Shelley Harrison, and John Ed Ogles define dedication. [ I •fe r 16 STUDENT LIFE Too timid to pick on someone his own size, counsellor Wellford Tabor dominates a game of soccer-dodge ball with the kiddies from day camp. Displaying near-perfect free-throw form, Andrew McDermott shoots some hoops at basketball camp under the direction of coaches Jerry Peters, Mark Counce, Lin Askew, and Jim Barton. While earning money for the Student Council, John Dulin and Andy Wright hope to accumulate enough $2.00 washes to one day buy their own Porsche. SUMMER AT MUS 17 MM i i .v t ' A.. Shattering r ze glassy surface of Horseshoe Lake at dusk, John T.

And my sunburn really hurts. I ' m in no mood to cut those yards, but I need to get them out of the way. Decisions, decisions . . . And what about tonight? The Bluebeats are playing on top of the Peabody; so I had better work on getting a date. I hope they ' re not carding. Oh well, I ' ll worry about that later. Right now it ' s time for the Jerry Lawler Show. Displaying their natural showmanship, Ricky Heros, Ted Miller, and Beaker dance the night away at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza as Andy McArtor and Jennifer Kellett look on. Finding each other far more interesting than the animals, Paul Anderson and Courtney Morris spend a lazy summer Saturday at the Overton Park Zoo. Enjoying a post-game chaw, Barry McCullar, Greg McGowen, and Andy Wright celebrate another Wall Street Deli Tigers ' victory in the local Connie Mack League. Showing little gymnastic dexterity, Fred Schaeffer show why he should stick to basketball as his intended flip is actually a flop at the Memphis Country Club pool. SUMMER IN MEMPHIS 19 20 STUDENT LIFE John Home puts on a happy face as he watches yet another Baskin-Robbins customer smear Mississippi Mudd all over his mouth and chin. After passing out the first day on the job, Trip Wells quickly learned the art of carpentry; as Trip stated, My physique lends itself to the job. Gavin Murrey, preparing for his future, washes dishes at Steak and Ale over the summer. Serving it up right at McDonald ' s on Summer Avenue is Mike Windland. Vj- J- ife In The Real World Not for glory. Not for satisfaction either. Not even for experience. They work for money. Yes, these students are looking to fill their pockets through capital gain. Empty palms and empty wallets are commonplace during the expense-filled days of summer vacation, but many students overcome their financial troubles through securing a job with Dad or by selling themselves into manual labor. Phillip Harbin administers an ultra-sound treatment to a patient at St. Francis Hospital, where he performed volunteer work as a physical therapist. SUMMER JOBS 21 During the pep rally for the Briarcrest football game, the Senior Class rushes the stage, egged on by rowdy yell leaders and cheerleaders. During a second-week Wednesday chapel assembly. Headmaster Gene Thorn administers the oath of office to all Honor Council representatives. K! r v CTiT J ' l Ij Astonished by Pearce Hammond ' s amazing footwork and dance moves, Marion Sorrells pauses for a breather during the traditional Victory Dance following the football home- opener with Briarcrest. The band was Valentino. Senior football starter and sometime soldier of fortune Sterritt Armstrong ponders a message left by campus visitors. The visitors misplaced their apostrophes, and their football team misplaced their playbooks as they lost to the Owls 19-6. 22 STUDENT LIFE s tarting Up As summer dwindles to a close, so all summer activities come to an end — summer vacations for some, summer jobs for others. With the advent of another school year, students rearrange their schedules to allow for getting to homeroom before the 8: 1 5 bell. Two-a-day practices end for football, soccer, and cross-country athletes. Spare time is replaced by academic instruction. Out-of-class activities center on athletic events, but they also include Student Council dances, watermelon feasts, and discussions about who ' s dating-whom-and-why. Another school year has begun. At the annual back-to-school Honor Council Student Council cookout at Headmaster Thorn ' s home, John Dulin, Wesley Grace, Andy Wright, and Greg McGowan sit captivated by Mr. Norman Thompson ' s monologue on rules for a successful life. A Junior Class Student Council representative, Hal Bailey serves up watermelon at another always popular Student Council-sponsored feast during lunch period. BACK-TO-SCHOOL 23 Preparing to open the season against Briarcrest, the football team swelters in the summer heat. 24 STUDENT LIFE low Off the Dust, Crank Up the Gears: School ' s Here Working hard on grub day, which concluded the Civic Service Club ' s Ticket Week, Dylan Black and Josh Sullivan construct the Victory Dance stage while Mr. Mike Deaderick, Mr. Andy Saunders, and Greg McGowan oversee the project. Oh, no! did I leave my radio on all night? No, wait, it just-now turned on. What ' s up? No, don ' t tell me, it must be the first day of school. After the horrid realization of what back to school really means — early nights, early mornings, loads of homework, and even Wednesday Chapel — most students take notice of the many changes and improvements which have occurred over the summer. On returning to school, one student even noted, Gosh, something seems different. Upon observation, this statement proved to be accurate. Changes included a new roof, lounge floor, chapel steps, and even a resoiled football field; but also not to be overlooked, all the sidewalks received concrete comers. These changes remind us more than ever that back to school does not necessarily mean back to the way it was. During a well-prepared Orientation Day speech, Shelley Harrison instructs future yearbook editors never to disrupt the continuity of a picture with a caption. Tres Fife comments to John Home about the new chapel steps — one of many summer renovations.

' ((-♦v 4 ' a It is a common misconception among those unfamiliar with our school that we do nothing but study. The truth is that we (Jo work hard inside and outside the classroom, but we ' re never too busy to play. The English essay can wait, the math problems can be solved later, the chemistry lab can be written up tomorrow if there ' s something interesting to do. Whether it ' s an MSU football game, or the latest Rocky or Ramhn flick, or just a large pepperoni at Pi a Hut, we find that the river city has opportunities to offer to those who seek amusement. C ' okc in hand. Paul Anderson poses with the south end of a north-bound horse grinding sugar cane at the annual Mid-South (rafts Fair on the campus of the Pink Palace Museum Craftsmen from throughout the Mid-Soulh demonstrate and sell their handmade arts and crafts for three days in October Fulfilling a lifelong dream. Bo Allen and David Chancellor pose on either side of professional- wrestling referee Jerry Calhoun at a weekly Monday night card at the Mid-South Coliseum in late August. Enjoying a warm autumn evening, Mike Patterson and Kathy Johnson soak in the sounds, the smells, the tradition of Bcale Street Exhibiting their much hatlyhooed sub machine guns. Stcmtt Armstrong and (iavin Murrey unload stacatto bursts of lead on enemy bottles and cans on the Houston I vcc bridge L ick and Jane: a High-School Update Students begin their schooling with an introduction to two of primer literature ' s best-known characters: Dick and Jane. Dick is a boy. Dick is The Ideal Boy. Dick is the boy that all students emulate the rest of their lives. Jane is a girl. Any girl. More importantly Jane is the girl who always gets tangled up with Dick. Ten years ago, future MUS students could not have cared less about Jane. Jane was a girl. Jane had cooties. All girls had cooties. But a strange thing happened about the time that students entered the seventh grade. Jane lost her cooties and got other things to replace them. Like a personality. And intelligence. And other paraphenalia. As MUS students progressed, so did their relationship to Jane. Jane was no longer avoided. Indeed she was eagerly sought after: for recreation, for conversation, and for dates. Jane ' s attraction was addictive, compulsive, incomprehensible. Jane became the chief end of man, the raison d ' etre, Truth, nirvana. Unable to ! « : of anything more constructive to do with their Friday afternoon, Daye Elkin ushered her crew of cheerleaders to the Hull- Dobbs Field where they met with Joel Morrow and his merry band of yell-leaders for a yell- session. Quoth the Daye: Whenever I get bored, I call up the gals and say ' Let ' s do something school-spirited! ' After having arrived at the Summer-Twin Drive-In early to get a good parking space, Hal Bailey settles down with his unidentified date to enjoy the pre-matinee bargain features. Lights. Camera. Action! 28 Practically beside himself with impish glee, Sterritt Armstrong lasciviously winks with delight after having corraled campus visitor Deborah Bass, bribed her with hot chocolate, and deceived the young naive Miss Bass into letting him show her the weightroom. Sterritt was one of many helpful Seniors eager to help out visitors and show them the ropes. For most, recreation means fun. And for Gavin Murrey, fun means an American-made, fully- loaded, semi-automatic, long-barreled weapon. Throughout the course of the year, Gavin had no problem finding experienced hunters or huntresses eager to accompany him to the dark forests of suburban Shelby County in search of small animals. This day was apparently a big one as Lacey Wadlington, depending on Gavin ' s keen eye to spot her prey, wastes a passing tweetie-bird. DICK AND JANE 29 Primping in front of an aroused crowd. Amy Uden prepares to be raffled off to an ecstatic ticket buyer, Philip McCauU. Wesley Grace serves as master of ceremonies, and Greg McGowan holds the bag. Lacey Wadlington. David Warlick, and Gavin Murrey pull Jenifer Kellett and Andy and Scott McArtor into the mud for third place in the tug-of-war. k J un at the « est It ' s Fall Fest time already? Maybe I can really make a killing this year: I ' ve gotten good at dart throwing and Putt-Putt. What if I win a date, or better yet — what if I dunk Daye Elkin in the tank! I do feel lucky this year; I just know I ' ll win that Smokey Joe Bar B-Q. I hope the bands are good — I hear the Wooly Mammoths really jam. I ' m getting excited. Fall Fest is indeed one of the Student Council ' s main events of the year, and they always put on a good show. Although some changes were made this year (like the dunk tank ' s being replaced by a toilet flush), this Festival proved to be the highest money raiser in history — with a turnout close to 1,000 people. The Fall Fest offers everyone an opportunity to have fun — be it by smashing a car or by smashing Wesley Grace in the mud. John Ed Ogles wonders if his bite is as fierce as manager Miami Wes ' bark. The mud flies: John Ed Ogles and Jason Hughes wrestle in the main event. Will the real wrestler piedtst step forward? Greg McGowan reassures Jason Hughes that it ' s quality, not quantity, that counts. While Andy McCarwll hums a beautiful rendition of the Star Wars theme, Toni Wyoming (Wesley Grace) and Mario (Diego Winegardner) prepare to knock Andy off to give Harding a fair chance in the Homecoming game. The skit provided Wesley a once-in-a- lifetime chance to pinch McCarroU ' s ear and remain alive. Lacey Wadlington ' s and David Chancellor ' s eyes fix upon their lucky star before the Homecoming ceremonies: Lacey was later crowned Homecoming Queen. Getting fired up during the Homecoming Pep Rally, Mr. Thorn leads his traditional fifteen snappy rahs. 32 STUDENT LIFE omecomtng 1 Ulli 1 I lillill Red and Blue Day, Shade and Lid day, Tahiti Day, Anti-Terrorist Day (a Wesley Grace original), and finally.

Toni Wyoming and Mario kidnap star tailback Andy McCarroU from his bed, disrupting his studies, milk break. Star Wars fantasies, and army men. There is an emergency meeting of the coaching staff; they have only one hope — the Sterrminater (Sterritt Armstrong). Suddenly, there ' s gun-play, shouting, and smoke.

Fortunately the Sterrminater, complete with his own emi-automatic rifle, arrived to release Andy from his bondage. HOMECOMING: A week to remember. Sporting the Polynesian look on Tahiti Day, Edward Patterson displays a meager attempt to be GQ. Before commenting on Shelley Harrison ' s King Cab 4x4 Chevy pick-up truck, Daye Elkin leads her squad in their puppet imitation during the Homecoming Roll-Call. FOOTBALL HOMECOMING 33 Dastardly evil Talbot Twillingham (Trip Robertson) directs his henchman Jed Lunk (Tommy Payne) to more deception in St. Agnes ' Pure as the Driven Snow. As he directs his second Lower School play, Mr. Andy Saunders works with the cast of The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch. 34 STUDENT LIFE The duo of Turnkey (John Van Heiningen) and Galion (Babs Chase) enjoys cards and ale as they guard the caged Hobbit. The Great Goblin (Joel Pope) sternly barks commands to his lackeys, including Ryan Riggs and Dabney Collier, in Hutchison ' s The Hobbit. iVll the World ' s a Stage MUS ' Thespians went beyond the usual boundaries of the Hyde Chapel through their involvement in a Lower School play, a play at St. Agnes, and one at Hutchison. Enthusiasm was very high as Trip Robertson explained, I love doing plays at MUS . . . the experience and exposure have compelled me to participate in all the drama I can find. Mr. Andy Saunders directed his second Lower School play. The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch gave the Old West a melodramatic flavor as the title character, at first a drunken bum, apparently dies and comes back to life, chilling the townspeople. Michael Masterson played Fitch, backed by Wilson Stribling as the Holy Reverend Stanley Blackwood, Marvin Palmer as the conniving Sheriff Jackogelsby, and David Michael as Rackham. Bernard Myers played Doc Burch, and Jonathan Weinberg portrayed Mervyn Vale. Moving across town, several students participated in the St. Agnes fall play. Pure as the Driven Snow. A stormy night finds a tired and weak Purity Dean (Jennifer Caren) seeking shelter at Tucker ' s Inn. Through a bizarre turn of events, an old acquaintance of Purity ' s, Talbot Twillingham (Trip Robertson), follows her to the inn. A scheming Twillingham, with his stooge Jed Lunk (Tommy Payne), entwines the entire household, including inn keeper Jonathan Logan (Richard Wanderman) and romancing pickle-lord E. Z. Pickens (Chris Donovan) in his attempt to take Purity away from her lover, Leander Longfellow, and force her to marry him. However, Longfellow and Fate stun Talbot, as Purity remains true to her lover and escapes Talbot ' s grasp. The Hutchison fall play was The Hobbit. Kathie Johnson portrays the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who is convinced by thirteen dwarves and the Great Wizard Gandolf to search for and destroy the dragon Smaug. As Bilbo travels, he encounters trolls, goblins, and other such beasts and gains some self-knowledge. MUS thespians at Weiner Theater included Joel Pope (the Great Goblin), J. Hickman (Bilbo ' s cousin), Brian Helm (William), John Van Heiningen (Turnkey), Ryan Riggs, and Dabney Collier. FALL PLAYS 35 Jennifer Kellet overdoes her well-rehearsed Oh-I-can ' t-believe-I won-I ' m-so-happy smile while Andy McArtor stands in awe, realizing that he is escorting the new Basketball Homecoming Queen. 36 STUDENT LIFE Low Snow Woes The student body enjoyed a longer Christmas break than usual with a holiday in honor of the football team ' s championship. Afterward came the January grind, broken only by several events such as one snow day and Basketball Homecoming. February was highlighted by Charity Week, which ended with the most successful Talent Show ever. As suddenly as it had come, our mild winter vanished. Well, if you didn ' t order the Diet Dr Pepper, then who did? an exasperated Gregg Mitchell asks senior Bryan Krauch. Over 60 seniors gathered at Pizza Hut for the annual Senior Pizza Pig-Out to benefit charity. Caravanning to Lewisburg for the Marshall County football game, a group of rowdy, rambunctious Buzzard boosters makes a pit stop along 1-40. They are Ed Patterson, Rob Williams, Craig Nadel, Jimmy Walker, Chris Donovan, Brian Moore, Tres Fife, Byron Winsett, John Home, Douglas Gayden, Lee Nelson, and Dan Hartman. Dan tries to hide his embarrassment over being the only person wearing grippers. WINTER AT MUS 37 Students enjoyed the Memphis State Tigers all season. All-American center William Bedford scores here and is fouled by Athletes-in-Action ' s Calvin Duncan. 00% Winter? Call it a mild winter with but one Snow Day on Tuesday, February 1 1 . Really, there were two Snow Days: that Tuesday and the day before, a Monday. But we were in session on Monday — the only school in Shelby County to be open. Call us macho men. Two weeks later, though, it was 85° — flowers blooming, trees budding, convertible-tops down, an all-time high for Memphis in February. Students got a bad case of spring fever early. Undisturbed by John Dulin and Paula Proctor ' s badgering, Joel Morrow calmly slides the nine-ball into the comer pocket. Billiards provides some indoor fun on a dreary winter day. Playing it cool all the way, Sterritt Armstrong describes his ideal date to the St. Mary ' s students gathered for the King of Valentine ' s contest while Gavin Murrey and John Morris look on. Newly crowned Mr. Valentine at St. Mary ' s, Ted Miller poses in front of an obviously disappointed Trip Wells. WINTER 39 A dumbfounded Mr. Stanley (Pierce Hammond) and his befuddled wife (Merie Nichols) are stunned once again by the resourceful Whiteside (Trip Robertson). 40 STUDENT LIF Reviving the great comedy from the Pulitzer-prize- winning duo of Moss Hart and George Kaufman, MUSTA ' D performed the play The Man Who Came To Dinner. The story centers on the humorous incidents which occur when Mr. Sheridan Whiteside (Trip Robertson) comes to dinner at Mr. Stanley ' s (Pierce Hammond) house, hurts his hip, and is forced to stay at the Stanleys ' . Whiteside is a famous lecturer and critic, so many people come to the house to ask him for advice. One such person is Whiteside ' s doctor, Dr. Bradley (Ken Webber). While Whiteside thinks he has problems with Bradley ' s pestering him to read his autobiography, he encounters an even larger nuisance when Bert Jefferson (Tripp Wilson) arrives on the scene. Jefferson falls in love with Whiteside ' s secretary, Maggie Cutler (Karen Patterson). Not wanting to lose his secretary, Whiteside devises a plan to keep Maggie from marrying Jefferson. Whiteside calls on Lorraine Sheldon (Jennifer Griffm), a famous, sexy actress known for her ability to attract men, to come and steal Jefferson from Maggie. But, proving he is not all nasty, Whiteside realizes his selfishness and releases Maggie to Jefferson. The lighthearted, witty play charmed all who saw it this winter. The delightfully dim Dr. Bradley (Ken Webber) is the cause of much hilarity while trying to persuade Whiteside (Trip Robertson) to read his novel Forty Years an Ohio Doctor. Samity extraordinare Beverly Carlton (Chris Donovan) charms Sheridan Whiteside (Trip Robertson) and Maggie Cutler (Karen Patterson) while telling of his visit to Hollywood. All for a G ood Cause In late February, the Civic Service Club, under the able tutelage of President Joel Morrow, executed a highly successful series of diverse events, charity week, to allow students to get involved in community service. On Wednesday, about 40 students (over 17 years of age, of course) greeted the Lifeblood van in front of Hyde Chapel and gave of themselves. The next day over 60 hungry seniors met at Pizza Hut for the Senior Pizza Pig Out. Friday saw the Senior Class Basketball team, in wheelchairs, lose 36-34 to the wheelchair-bound River City Rollers, despite a 30-point head start. Charity Week ended Saturday with a bang. After the Rock- a-thon in the lounge and Special Olympics Day in the gym, the Talent Show in the Hyde Chapel set a record for attendance. Amy Murrell from Hutchison won the contest with her solo performance of Kiss Me in the Rain. Two bands, Cry Wolf and the Jetsons, took second and third places; and several other acts, such as Cliff Goldmacher ' s fantastic piano recital and the radical band Millions of Dead Firemen, roused the capacity crowd ' s applause and enjoyment. Andy McCarroll stretches to full length to deflect a pass in the Wheelchair Basketball Game while Paul Anderson acts as if he had something to do with it, too. Earning the judges ' votes for Most Entertaining in the Talent Show, Ricky Heros and Ted Miller vibrate to the sounds of the Bee Gees ' Stayin ' Alive. Yep, theys was the good Old Days. Newt Metcalf and GriffJenkins pull a few tears of nostalgia as they recall their hambone slappin ' and Jew ' s Harp pickin ' days. 42 STUDENT LIFE Are you all right, pal? Jason Peters demonstrates his charitable sympathy for a fallen participant in the Special Olympics Basketball Tournament. Henry Newton, Andy Rainer, John Minor, Robert Seeman and Lester Lee sit mesmerized by the R-rated scenes of The Breakfast Club while simultaneously rocking in the Rock-a-thon and earning money for charity. CHARITY WEEK 43 The Also- R ans When a team wins the World Championship, do you ever stop and ask yourself, How does the other team feel? It would be nice if everyone could finish first, but, sadly, the world abounds with that strange breed of people who work just as hard as everybody else, but fall just short enough to be snubbed and forgotten by the public eye. To such people is this spread dedicated. Who do you know who can remember the name of a Homecoming runnerup? Courtney Morris smiles with the futile hope that this distinction wUl etch her in the memories of all present. While Dylan Black pouts over a lack of playing time, Andy McCarroil accepts a drink from manager Stewart Austin during a break in the Senior-Faculty Basketball Game, won by the faculty. 44 STUDENT LIFE Putting English on his putt, Dan Hartman serves time for the Regional-runnerup golf team. Stuart McCloy bestows unctuous compliments and tasty goodies upon John Shin in return for Shin ' s support in his bid for the Student Council Vice-Presidency. Friendlier talk and sweeter candy, however, could be found in the vicinity of Wesley Grace, the eventual winner.

Coach Walker called the group the most talented I ' ve had. The team began the season in an unusual way, with a week ' of spring training and exhibition games in Pensacola, Florida. Missing starters Allen Halliday, Tim Wise, and Dede Malmo (all in Nashville playing basketball in the State Tournament), the team found the weather good but the four Pensacola teams they played even better. The experience was valuable though because the team began the regular season red-hot, winning Senior southpaw ace Bob Coleman spins one of his patented curve balls toward the awaiting Collierville batter. Coleman finished the year with a 2. 1 3 eamed-run average and a 7-3 record. All-District centerfielder Andy Wright is safe at second base with a stolen base in a late April loss to Kirby on their field. eleven of its first thirteen games. In that streak they beat traditionally strong baseball-schools Briarcrest, White Station, Ridgeway, Kirby, Bishop Byrne, and Harding. The season ended on a somewhat sour note, however, as the team lost four of five the week before the District Tournament and won but one game in the tournament. Southpaws Allen Halliday (2. 1 2 ERA, 78 strikeouts in 56 innings) and Bob Coleman (2. 1 3 ERA, 7-3 record) led the pitching corps. Catcher Greg McGowan batted .417 with 5 homeruns and 27 RBI ' s.

BASEBALL 51 ENCORE Team Nets State Title The 1 985 varsity tennis team, coached by Mr. Bill Taylor, finished the regular season with an 8- 1 record, and finished the year by successftilly defending the District, Regional, and State Championships. In the first four matches, the team did not sacrifice a single match — 36 consecutive wins in tough competition. In the Chattanooga Rotary Tournament, the netters placed third of 24 boys ' teams competing. In the District tournament, Murray Garrott won the singles title. In the semi-finals round, Garrott defeated teammate Dylan Black, 6-1, 6-0, while Black won the consolation match. In the finals, Garrott defeated another teammate, John Morris, 6-1, 6-0. In doubles competition, the team of Garrott Morris proved invincible as the duo won the crown, 6-2, 6-3. In the Regionals, Garrott took the singles crown easily, 6-1,6-1, and Garrott Morris edged out the Harding team in the second set to win 6-0, 6-4. Finally, the team was Nashville-bound, with Garrott having qualified in singles play, and Garrott Morris having qualified for doubles in state play. Losing no more than three games per set, Garrott defeated his opponents rather easily, and he brought home the trophy in singles. In doubles action, the Garrott Morris duo also lost no more than three games per set, shattering hopes for archrival Baylor, 6-3, 6-3, and thus giving the school its fifth tennis state championship. Coach Taylor described the Owls at the beginning of the season as a real good bunch of guys who really thought we could win the state. He was right.

GOLFERS WIN DISTRICT Team Blends Senior Leadership and Youth Although the varsity golf team was young (seven underclassmen), the linksters compiled an impressive 7-1 record. Coach Lin Askew felt that the team met and exceeded all his expectations after winning the District tournament and placing a close second to CBHS in the Regional tournament. Coach Askew observed a proper balance of senior leadership and youth in the team. The leadership came from seniors and four-year lettermen Eb LeMaster and John Dulin, and from junior Dan Hartman — all these having a 76-stroke average. Against Sky- View, Dan Hartman shot a regular season team low of 72. Jody Scott, Jeff Ruffin, and Greg Chipping onto the green at Audubon, Dan Hartman leads a 302-343 win over Skyview. Dan was the medalist in this match. Rhodes also contributed significantly to the team ' s success with 79-stroke averages. In their first match, the linksters, led by medalist Jeff Ruffin ' s 74, shot 300 in an easy victory over Memphis prep. After easily defeating their next four opponents by an average of 26 strokes per match, the team highlighted its regular season with a victory over rival Germantown by 1 5 strokes, a victory which earned the team a steak dinner at Coach Askew ' s house. The only loss of the season came to CBHS; however, the team rebounded to handily defeat their final opponent, Harding. Post-season play was led by Dan Hartman, who tied Eb LeMaster ' s 76 in the District and shot a 7 1 in the Regional, earning him a sudden- death playoff against the future state champion. John Dulin and Greg Rhodes also contributed to post- season play, each posting a 75 in the Regional. In retrospect, John Dulin commented, Although we lost to the Brothers by only six strokes, a respectable achievement, had we played to our potential, we would have gone to the state. Jeff Ruffin shows the concentration that made him one of the top linksters, holding a 78.75 stroke average. Jeff is putting for par on the 1 3th hole at Audubon.

That evening an as-yet-unproven and admittedly anxious group took the field against the Briarcrest Saints. After a slow first quarter, the Owls had 55 points at the end of quarter 3. Gaining 363 yards and capitalizing on 7 Saint turnovers, the gridders established the self-confidence needed to chest-up to the next three opponents. At Germantown, in an old-fashioned, Vince Lombardi- style defensive clash, all Owl scoring came in the first half: touchdowns by Andy McCarroU, Andy McArtor, and a field goal by Matthew Crosby provided 1 9 points. The defense, led by Paul Anderson and Diego Winegardner (24 total tackles), held off several Germantown surges in the second half. Confidence was established, a necessity for facing 1 state-ranked Brentwood Academy. Defense dominated in a scoreless first half. In the second half, the Owls capitalized on two Brentwood turnovers (the Eagles had 6 for the game), and punched into the end zone once each quarter: on runs of 1 and 3 yards by John Ed Ogles and McCarroll. With the shutout, the team impressed fans statewide as a growing AA power to be reckoned with. It ' s like playing Super Bowls every week, said Wesley Grace in Monday chapel. Indeed, for the team, the emotional strain of playing intensely competitive games each week was taxing, and ultimately resulted in a loss at Tupelo against a very good team. Tupelo had racked up 24 points in the first 3 quarters through a sluggish defensive unit and the blitzing, stunting Golden Wave defense had contained the Owl offense until momentum shifted in quarter 4, but the Owls fell short. In sum, the inexperienced group had matured, they had stepped almost unscathed through the pre-District minefield, and they were an excellent team ready for District warfare. A shifty runningback from Tupelo meets some bad company at the line of scrimmage as end Wellford Tabor and linebacker Paul Anderson plug the gap. Adding a 34-yard pass reception to his 161 yard rushing effort, all-time Owl rushing leader Andy McCarroll kicks off the season ri t, contributing a record 30 points to the team ' s total of 55 against the hapless Briarcret Saints.

Forget two weeks ago and concentrate on winning tonight. Using the lessons learned at Tupelo and taking a week of rest provided by an open date, the Owls defeated Catholic 31-0 in a rolling, varied offensive scheme that produced 340 total yards. The defense allowed Catholic an average of 2. 1 yards per play. At Bishop Byrne, aptly named by some players the sand box, a small but scrappy squad of Red Knights staged a late second-quarter rally which awakened the sleeping Owl giant. After a scathing halftime talk by Coach Bobby Alston, the team punched four touchdowns across in the third quarter for an easy win, 48-7. Against CoUierville, a finally full- speed Andy McCarroU scored three times, while Andy Wright hooked up with Andy McArtor, Richard Morrow, and Richard Hussey for 1 79 yards. The defense held the Dragons scoreless. Owls win, 24-0. Stretching for the interception, defensive backs Shelley Harrison (28) and Wesley Grace collide in mid-air but shoot down any hope for this Bishop Byrne bomb. Homecoming week produced offensive fireworks — 303 yards rushing and 1 4 1 passing. Wright punted but once for 55 yards, and the defense allowed no score in a 49-0 whitewash of Harding. After several weeks of mediocre opponents, the team faced its stiffest District challenge against the Eagles of ECS. The District championship was at stake; the atmosphere was like that of a playoff game. In an extremely even game, the Owls scored first with 8:52 remaining in the first quarter on a 4- yard romp by McCarroU. A missed extra-point caused concern as ECS answered two minutes later with a touchdown and extra point to go ahead. Late in the second quarter, Wright tossed a 41-yard ball to Scott McArtor, who goosestepped into the end zone. Another missed conversion gave only a 1 2-7 lead at halftime. A third-quarter team all year, the Owls scored 14 points in the last 5 minutes of the period, making the score 26-7, but from then on, it was all ECS. The Eagles scored twice in the fourth quarter; momentum was on their side. However, an Owl defense, stiff by fear and resolve, staved off the potential upset. District champions now, the Owls had taken the first step on the road to Nashville.

The nearest official, never hesitating, ruled that John had control of the ball before hitting the ground and losing possession. We couldn ' t tell, but we agree with the official. Fourth-quarter against Goodpasture, score tied 21-21, Andy McArtor (27) hauls in an Andy Wright pass, then gets a great block from John Moore (13), and ends up holding the ball aloft in the endzone while brother Scott McArtor ( 1 5) looks on.

A quick first-quarter touchdown pass to Richard Morrow hinted a home-field blowout, but a staunch, blitzing Ridgeway defense made a game of it. The offense was con- tent to grind it out the rest of the way, scoring one more first-half touchdown and adding two more in the fourth quarter. A week of unusual preparation followed for Milan. Coach Bobby Alston introduced a highly sophisticated audible system to the of- fensive scheme to counter the multiple defensive strategies of an excellent Bulldog team. Throughout the game, quarterback Andy Wright, with no huddle, walked to the line of scrimmage, made his play-selection from a 1 5-play repertoire, and with a 3- number cadence called the play. This system allowed no defensive checking by Milan and confused the Bulldogs all night. The offense was unstoppable, racking up 35 points. An interception by Paul Anderson, returned for a score, was the humiliating coup de grace to a sullen and soundly thrashed Milan team. The defense was superb, giving up only 7 points. In a shocker heard round the state, Milan was beaten 41-7. In the snakepit at Lewisburg, 7000 fans were treated to a thrilling 1 4-7 win over Marshall County. Most of the fans were theirs; the noise-level was deadly. The well-scouted no-huddle offense faltered, and the team fell back on its defense to win. Steve Shipley blocked and then caught a Tiger pass, and rumbled 1 9 yards for a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, Andrew McDermott recovered a fumble, and the offense punched another TD in for the winning margin. As the Owls bused home that night to the blaring of Steppenwolf s Born to Be Wild, someone said over the cacophony, Let ' s hear it for big Steve. And the team clapped and sang their way back to Memphis. In a semi-final game at HuU-Dobbs Field, a red-hot Nashville Goodpasture team took a 7-point lead to the halftime dressing room, then scored again early in the second-half for a 14-point lead. Two unanswered Owl scores, though, produced a tie after three quarters. 8 minutes into the final period, an Andy McArtor catch and run of 64 yards pushed the score to 28-2 1 , MUS. A long Goodpasture drive followed. They scored and then made a two-point conversion to lead 29-28 with only 1:25 left. As some fans began to leave, 60 yards to paydirt on a third and long, Andy Wright hit John Moore who made a spectacular catch for a 1 st-down on the 8-yard line. Following two ineffectual plays (one, a sure interception flubbed by a Cougar linebacker), Matthew Crosby drilled the winning field goal with 1 2 seconds left for a 2-point win, 3 1-29. Gang-tackling always works, as Diego Winegardner, Wellford Tabor (73), Steve Shipley ' (66), and Greg McGowan (62) demonstrate on the Goodpasture quarterback. Like a runaway freight train, Andy McCarroU roars for a 1 9-yard touchdown against Goodpasture. VARSITY FOOTBALL 67 TEAM WINS IT ALL Outmanned Owls Prevail For State Championship The final scoreboard would read 21- 19, MUS State Football AA Champions, a storybook ending to a storybook year. The last game had been a titanic struggle, a war. Clad in their white away jerseys, the Owls began warm-up drills for the state-championship clash with Knoxville Austin-East. Clouds swept over Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, and gray air turned colder. Two years ago on the same artificial turf of Dudley Field, an Owl team had been beaten by Austin-East in a torrential rainstorm, but there would be no rain now, no element to prevent this team from its victorious appointment with destiny. Another team might have been overwhelmed by the size, the speed, the sheer plethora of excellent athletes from Knoxville. But the Owls had been outmanned before; determination, perseverance, a carefully conceived offensive attack would give the Owls the win. Austin-East, using a tremendously effective sweep-pitch to All-State tailback Leroy Thompson, scored first. A missed extra-point, though, planted the seed for their eventual loss, as Scott McArtor took a 25-yard touchdown pass from Andy Wright with 3:46 remaining in the Ist-quarter. The extra- point was good, and we led 7-6. Five minutes later, Thompson broke a pitch-sweep for an 8 1 -yard touchdown run. With 1 :49 left in the half, Wright to McArtor produced the Owls ' second touchdown and a 14-13 lead at half In the second half Wright ' s short sideline passes proved effective. The valiant efforts of the offensive line, outweighed 50 pounds per man, gave Wright time to find receivers set in a variety of wide-open offensive sets, sometimes set three-wide on one side and one-wide on the other, more often two-wide on both sides. The Roadrunner defense broke with 8:09 in the 3rd-quarter as Andy McCarroll swept right, cut back, and broke at least six tackles for a 42-yard touchdown. With 6 minutes left in the game, Austin-East scored, making the score 19-21. They tried a two-point conversion to tie. On an option-play left, tackle Steve Shipley beat his man and wrapped up the quarterback, preventing the pitch to Thompson. The conversion-attempt repelled, the Owls held on the rest of the way to emerge AA State Champions. It ' s no! as easy as Greg McGowan makes it look here. Tackling All-State tailback Leroy Thompson was tricky business, very tricky business in the open field. Just before the half, Scott McArtor hauls in a touchdown pass to put the team up to stay. The half ended 14-13. 68 SPORTS With four wide-receivers most of the game, tailback Andy McCarroll (36) found himself pass- blocking much of the time for quarterback Andy Wright. The out-sized offensive line opens a generous hole for fullback John Ed Ogles on a counter play. VARSITY FOOTBALL 69 Down at halftime to Collierville, Head Coach John Cady exhorts his troops to intensify their effort in the second half Listening closely are Dan Shumake (83), manager Newt Metcalf, Holt Crews (55), Alan Davis, and Pat Hopper (44). Against Germantown, quarterback David Newman ( 1 8) unleashes a spectacular 70-yard bomb to Mark Cox for a touchdown. Good pass blocking is provided by the offensive line and back Pat Hopper (44). 70 SPORTS SECOND-PLACE IN DISTRICT Freshmen Shut Out CBHS, Briarcrest, in Posting Winning Record Full of spirit, the ninth-grade team had a 5-3 overall record and a second- place finish in their District. The stingy defense allowed an average of only 7 points per game; traditional rivals CBHS and Briarcrest were shut out. Sam Nickey ' s punt-block produced the only score of the game as the team prevailed in the opener against CBHS. The Owls were outweighed about 50 pounds per man across the front line in this defensive struggle. Offensive firepower yielded 34 points in a relatively easy win over Briarcrest.

In perhaps its best outing, the team lost a close one to AAA-power Germantown on a controversial two- point conversion. The team ' s scoring play was a spectacular 70-yard bomb from Newman to speedy end Mark Cox. Bouncing back the next week, the defense stopped Catholic ' s All-District running back to win. Robert Ducklo intercepted a pass to stop a late Charger drive with less than 2 minutes left. Against Bishop Byrne, the team dominated play in the first half, rolling up what should have been a comfortable lead by halftime. But the Owls had to hold on to win as the Knights made it very close in the second half. The CoUierville game was one in which Coach John Cady said that the team had good drives stop just short of paydirt. The return of center Holt Crews from an injury sparked the team to a big 29-6 victory at Harding. Highlights of the game included an 86-yard punt return for a touchdown by Ray Hayles and a spectacular interception by reserve defensive back Tommy Byrnes. Nothing went right in the ECS game. On the team ' s first offensive-possession, the opponents intercepted a pitch and scored; it was all downhill after that. Calling defensive signals, Sam Nickey (7) sets the team for the next offensive series of the Harding Lions in a 29-6 win. 9th FOOTBALL (5-3) CBHS 6-0 Briarcrest 34-0 Germantown 6-8 Catholic 14-6 Bishop Byrne 20-6 CoUierville 8-16 Harding 29-6 ECS 0-18 9th FOOTBALL 71 FLYIN ' HIGH 8th Graders Have Winning Tradition Backed by a strong defense, the eighth-grade football team completed another superb season by going undefeated and winning the YMCA Mason League. The team finished their season with a record of 7-0 under the leadership of Coaches Dan Griffin and Troy Benitone. Coach Griffin remarked about the team ' s success: We had talent both on the line and in the backfield. They ' re excellent athletes and can play outstandingly when they want to. One of the main reasons for the Baby Owls going undefeated was their defense. They were scored upon only three times and held opponents to an amazing 1 20 yards rushing all season. Another contributing factor was their great speed. Philip Wunderlich rushed for 750 yards while averaging almost three touchdowns a game, and Stevan Black and Robert Higginbotham each contributed 450 yards on the ground. As for the air attack, Coors Arthur passed for 14 touchdowns, and Jonathan Rowe caught 10 passes for 4 touchdowns. Linemen Gray Bartlett, Brian Eason, and John Roberts also contributed aptly to the team ' s success. Off the sweep, tailback Stevan Black glides to a big first down behind the blocking of Robert Higginbotham (22) and Coors Arthur ( 1 2) in a close win over St. Paul.

In the early going, the Owls lived up to this distinction, running very competitively against traditional powers CBHS, Germantown, and Harding. The zenith of the season was decidedly a two-week period at midseason which included the Antioch Invitational and the MUS Invitational. After opening with a 7-3 run, the team travelled to Nashville ' s Iroquois Steeplechase Course for the 44-team Antioch meet. Behind finishes of 25th by Elmore Holmes and 33rd by Kyle King, the runners placed 1 5th overall and 2nd among Memphis teams. The following week the Owls took a very close 3rd-place in the MUS Invitational, behind Germantown and CBHS and ahead of eventual Regional champion Harding. Holmes placed 4th; King was 8th. Joel Pope showed strong effort in 1 5th. After this meet, the runners lost momentum and ended the season with a respectable yet disappointing 4th in the Region. Most of the Owls ' success can be attributed to the dedication of Coach Eddie Batey, who without substantial team talent has transformed the cross- country team from regional doormat to contender in the last four years. In a meet with CBHS, Harding, Brentwood Academy, and Catholic, Joel Pope holds his own against Harding ' s Darin Harper and CBHS ' John Liles. Coming off a respectable sophomore season.

Coach Steve Bradshaw had reshaped the team last year, and was now ready for fine tuning it, like a Swiss watch. Beginning in mid-August, the players practiced for a grueling seven hours a day in the sweltering heat. An additional two weeks of after-school practicing prepared the Owls for their first game. The Owls accepted victories over two of their traditional opponents, ECS and Catholic. Then it was off to the Oak Ridge Invitational, where the Kickers placed third. In the final game to decide third place, Chris Joe headed the ball just out of the reach of the Farragut goalie in sudden death with 20 seconds remaining in one of the season ' s best wins. The Owls, not scoring in three of their next four games, determined to break out of this predicament and finished the regular season with two good wins. For eight days, the Kickers anxiously awaited word of whether or not they had made it into the state tournament. Finally In the 2-0 upset win over Germantown in the state playoffs at Farmington, forward Todd Brown out-maneuvers his Devil defender and streaks for the goal. In a home loss to CBHS, fullback Ken Webber struggles to keep the ball away from two Brothers ' forwards, as Jim Boals comes back to help out.

VARSITY SOCCER 77 Against All Odds (Continued) they received word that they had just superseded Catholic in the point ratings by .01 of a point. The Owls had made it, seeded sixth, but they had a long haul ahead of them. The Buzzards in the opening round faced third-seeded White Station, the heavy favorite. After two forty-minute regulation halves and two overtime periods, the two teams were tied, 2-2, which threw the game into a shootout. Five players from each team took one shot. MUS had successfully put 4 of 5 past their goalkeeper, and White Station was 3 for 4; tension along the sideline was almost unbearable. White Station had to make the final shot to remain in the tourney, but the pressure of the crowd was too much for the White Station kicker, who missed the goal entirely, sending MUS into the quarterfinal round. Tension reached even higher levels as MUS faced its toughest opponent yet, Germantown, which had lost only one game in two years. MUS people flooded the stands at Farmington field and their intensity level made the Kickers seem invincible. The Kickers handed Germantown its only shutout ever, 2-0. The semi-final opponent was Farragut of Knoxville, a team which the Owls had beaten before. Early in the game, Farragut scored a surprise goal. The offense, however, could not pull itself together, as the remaining 75 minutes of play went scoreless. In the consolation round, the team whipped Oak Ridge for third place in the state. The defense, led by Brian Browder and stabilized by Kenneth Webber, Chris Joe, and Evan Speight, often held the team together; excellent offensive leadership by Jimmy Walker and Jim Boals aided the Owls in pulling out some narrow victories. Against all odds, brilliant play in the state pulled out a well-deserved third place trophy, commemorating uncountable hours of hard work and dedication. During the consolation game of the state tournament, junior Johnny Norris finds himself in a one-on-one situation with an Oak Ridge defender. Oak Ridge was Buzzards ' meat, 1-0.

Having fun seemed to be the prevailing attitude of the team despite a one-win, three-tie, and four-loss season. And despite a change to a new coach, Tony Bridges, and despite being the youngest team in the Memphis Junior Varsity Soccer League (the majority of the players were eighth graders and freshmen, while most of their opponents were sophomores), the kickers pulled off a satisfying 5-2 win over White Station. Dominating the game, the Owls led 4-0 at half-time with two early goals by Griff Jenkins. However, most of the players insisted that the loss to Collierville was the most fun game. The conditions for the game were a torrential downpour of rain and a muddy and slippery field. The offense was led by Scott Maddox, Trey Thomas, and Griff Jenkins. Andy Shipman, Kyle Smith, and goalkeeper Bobby Meeks led the defense with spectacular and breathtaking plays to keep the opponents from scoring and played important parts in preserving the win over White Station and the ties with Harding, Briarcrest, and Ridgeway. Andy Shuster constantly made heads-up plays to frustrate the opponent ' s offense. This play in particular made this Harding forward grimace with disgust as Andy headed the ball away.

The team had only two returning starters — co- captains Bo Allen and David Chancellor — and looked to many different players throughout the year to get the job done. The Owls, led by Bo Allen ' s 30 points, opened the season with a 70-67 win over a highly-talented Ridgeway team. But after five games, the Buzzards were facing a 1 -4 record with losses to East, Kirby, CBHS, and White Station. Needing a win to get back on track, MUS downed Germantown behind Wade Harrison ' s 24 points. The Owls then avenged an earlier loss by defeating the always-tough East High Mustangs, 70-6 1 , through the combined effort of Bo Allen, David Chancellor, and Wade Harrison, who accumulated 49 points and 25 rebounds. With three games left before Christmas break, the Buzzards then fell prey to undefeated Briarcrest as the team turned the ball over 1 9 times and shot a meager 34% from the field. Despite the absence of senior Bo Allen, who was out with an ankle injury, MUS again beat Germantown with the help of sophomore Fred Schaeffer ' s 20 points. The team then cleared the first part of its season with a loss to Ridgeway and a hard-earned 4-6 record. Dominating the boards, forward David Chancellor battles underneath for the ball and the braggin ' rights as the Owls shatter the Purple Wave of CBHS in the first round of the East Memphis Classic.

At Harding m a 56-50 win, role-player senior Eb LeMaster tries a jumper from the wing. Those who know say that Owl basketball success starts with one man — Coach Jerry Peters. His preparation for the season (more intense than in any other) eventually paid off as his team upset league-winner Catholic for the District championship. This timeout occurred in the 66-6 1 win at Germantown. 84 SPORTS SOLID 2 IN LEAGUE Team Handles G ' town Thrice; Upsets Kirby, CBHS Over the Christmas holidays, the Owls played in two tournaments. In the East Memphis Exchange Classic at White Station, MUS beat CBHS by two as David Chancellor poured in 16 points and hauled down 10 rebounds.

The team reached the .500 mark for the first time since the middle of November with a win over CoUierville in the first game of district action. Winning their third consecutive game, the Owls defeated Harding 60-56 and earned a share of the district lead. But the team lost the next two games to district rivals ECS and Catholic as a rash of turnovers held the Owls back. After a loss to White Station, the three-game losing streak ended with a 68-60 win over Bishop Byrne. Once again, the Owls found that a strong rebounding night usually results in victory as the team outrebounded the Knights 44- 1 9, including 23 offensive bounds. The team ' s winning ways continued with a 68-62 victory over the powerful Kirby Cougars. The victory was led by Bo Allen, who was 1 for 1 from the foul line and scored a total of 32 points. The Owls then defeated CoUierville and Harding as their district record climbed to 5-2, and avenged an earlier loss to ECS with a 58-50 win. The Owls then prepared for Catholic, who came into the game with a 2 1-2 record, undefeated in district play. The team ' s bid to continue its five-game winning streak fell short as Catholic, with less than five seconds left, hit a 1 7-foot jumper to break a 5 1 -5 1 deadlock and clinch the victory. The loss overshadowed a season-high 1 1 assists by Hal Moffett, who ended the year as assist leader with 1 2 1 . In the final game of district action, the Owls rolled over Bishop Byrne.

Rising to the occasion in its best efibrt of the year, the team shot over 50% from the field and outrebounded their opponent 36-20. The results — a 64-54 victory and the District tournament champsionship. Kevin Ogilby was named MVP, and Wade Harrison was all-tournament. In the Regional tournament, the team took on Ridgeway in the first round. The Buzzards, who were 1- 1 against the Roadrunners in the regular season, fell behind early. Trailing by as many as 1 5 points in the first half, MUS cut the difference to five in the second half, but could never get closer. The team ended the season with a 17-15 record. They overcame adversity and injury and illness throughout the year to become a team who could hang with the best of ' em.

The team, 2-8 before Christmas holidays, lost to CoUierville and fell to 2-9. After this loss, however, the Owls went 1 1-2 for the remainder of the regular season to finish with a winning record. The addition of Andrew McDermott, Jon Van Hoozer, and Philip McCauU after the football season gave the team much-needed depth. Along with Jeff Ruffin and Kevin Tilley, McDermott was helpful in rebounding. Van Hoozer joined Ruffin and Tommy Payne as a scoring threat. Jason Peters ran the team from the point-guard position all season, and Geoff McComic saw a lot of playing time. Along with the added players, a decision by coaches Jerry Peters and Mark Counce to use a full-court, fast- break offense proved to be very important to the team ' s success. Coach Counce stated, Because of our lack of size, we couldn ' t play a slow-paced game and expect much success. Highlights of the season included a hard-fought 50-42 victory over Kirby and a 62-45 blowout over Catholic, in which MUS shot 34 of 43 from the foul line.

The team opened the season with a split to Germantown and a loss to CBHS. But then the freshmen asserted themselves, avenging the CBHS loss and winning nine straight. For the District championship the Owls faced Briarcrest, with whom they had split two close games during the regular season. The freshmen dominated the Saints with Jeff Koehn and valuable sixth-man Daniel Shumake putting in 1 3 and 1 4 points, respectively. However, the season ended abruptly with a fluke defeat to Grace St. Luke ' s. For their leadership. Coach Lin Askew praised flashy point-guard Scott Sherman and quiet Jeff Koehn, who never hurt the team, averaging well under one turnover a game. Third on the team in both scoring and rebounding, forward Sam Nickey pulls up for a short baseline jumper against two flat-footed Catholic defenders. Nickey dumped in 10 points in this 54-34 road victory. Having committed three Catholic defenders with a fake toward the baseline, Scott Sherman picks up another assist with a feed to an open Scooter Herrington. Offensive opportunities like this one allowed Herrington to be the game ' s high scorer against Catholic; he poured in 1 3 points. Challenging the heart of the ECS defense, Greg Rhodes releases a shot just over the outstretched hand of a low-flying Eagle.

Led by starters Philip Wunderlich (team captain), Alan Moore, Jonathan Rowe, Scott Peterson, and Coors Arthur, the team began in the fall its work to become the best. In November, they pounced on two of their traditional opponents, Pendleton and St. Dominic. Going into December, the young Owls picked up four more wins. In the Pendleton Tournament, MUS won its first-round game against Germantown, but let a tough Craigmont team slip past them by two points in the second round. January was undoubtedly the highlight of the eighth-graders ' season: they boasted an incredible nine wins in a row over tough Memphis teams, by scores as great as 54-12 over St. Louis. Then, in February, the Owls hit the road for four away games, two of which they lost. But the team was determined to prove that it wouldn ' t be kept down for long.

At the Madonna Tourney, MUS handed its semi-final opponent, Grace St. Luke ' s, a 50-35 loss. This was Coach Amsler ' s proudest win, the biggest one of his coaching career. Starting forward Coors Arthur was named to the all- tournament team. In hindsight. Coach Amsler said that all five starters each contributed to the team, and that it was a real good season, one I won ' t forget for a long time. Starting center Jonathan Rowe shows his talent not only as a defensive star, but also as a good scorer. Here, he adds two in the league championship game, in which MUS beat Harding, 44-42 in overtime. Monte Sernel adds two points to the MUS score in the 51-15 stampede over ECS. 92 SPORTS Jonathan Rowe widens the gap between MUS ' score and ECS ' . We whipped ' em, 51-15.

As the season neared its end, however, the Owls picked up the pace and finished well in the post-season tournaments. The season opened with a close loss to eventual Regional champion Kirby, largely decided by the forfeit of two weight classes. Arch-foe CBHS handed the team its second loss, but the grapplers bounced back to strangle the hapless Harding Lions, losing only one match. Against Germantown, a single pin decided the match as the Red Devils ' greater depth proved to be the decisive factor. The Owls, determined to break even, took wing as they rebounded from their 1 and 5 record and won their next three matches and two of three matches in a four-team tournament. The three in-season tournaments revved up the Owls. They competed against state powers like Nashville ' s Father Ryan in the Bishop Byrne Tournament and finished well in the Kirby Festival though wracked by a wave of sickness and injury. After a series of last-minute shufflings in the line-up, the team began post-season play ready to wrestle. Eight wrestlers were sent to the Regionals where Jimmy Cole and Cliff Goldmacher finished first and Robert Brode, Bernhardt Trout, Wade Robertson, and Robert Knapp placed to give the team an impressive third place. In the State Tournament, most wrestlers lost in the first or second round, but sophomore sensation Robert Brode brought home MUS ' second individual trophy ever as he placed third. Team Co-captain Jimmy Cole, taking advantage of his top position, glances at coach Barry Ray for his hardly-needed advice on pinning his opponent. Jimmy finished the season with only two losses. In his first varsity year, killer Robert Brode chalks up a pin against helpless Terry Pibalt of Gosnell, Arkansas for third-place in the Bishop Byrne Tournament. Accustomed to wrestling much heavier opponents, John Van Heiningen crushes his opponent into the mat and advances into the Regionals.

The English Department offers many courses that force the student not only to read, but also to understand the material. American Literature, English Literature, Shakespearean Literature and Victorian Literature give the student insight into the development of the modern English language and poetry. Man ' s Search seeks man ' s purpose on earth and allows the student to engage in in-depth conversations. War and Literature provides the student with a view of how war has influenced our literature. Said Trip Robertson, Without English, who would know what ' s going on? The Language Department, consisting of Latin, French, and Spanish, offers a student the chance to see how society is viewed from other cultures. In Latin class a student can see the way in which Latin has influenced English. He gets a chance to read some of the first great poetry including Cicero and Virgil. In Spanish class a student may learn a language that is ever increasing in our society. And, in French class, the student can experience a language closely related to English in the Latin tradition. m ' intM ' w tr -T | : M WKe As the students search for a way to get some partial credit, Mr. Norman Thompson finishes handing out JER papers.

Following this tremendous performance, the choir received requests to sing at Hickory Ridge Mall, the Peabody, and the Hilton.

For a student having trouble in math, Math Lab allows the student a chance to receive personal attention. The Science program begins with chemistry- physics and then allows the student a chance to take physics, chemistry, or biology in a more specialized course. Each of these classes can also be taken as an advanced placement course. One science scholar, Kouross Esmaeli, believes no matter what you are interested in, the Science Department gives you a chance to take in-depth courses in that field.

Instead of having to stay in a study hall, students may study, play in the gym, relax in the lounge, or go outside for fresh air. Students who need to study attend the notorious S , the supervised study sessions, or in regular terms, a study hall. But, for the most part, Upper School students can really do whatever they want to do. The free time allows the student to get used to handling his time. From the seventh till the eleventh grade, physical education is a requirement for those who do not participate in sports after school. It is an experience that a student remembers for a long time. Whether he runs, exercises, works out with Jane Fonda, or plays a gam e, physical education provides the student with a break from classes during the day. Studying English, algebra, or history several students prepare for upcoming tests and quizzes in the library. 5 ' 106 ACADEMICS Run, run, run, run, run — Physical Education classes demand laps around the track for seventh-grader Brian Chancellor and sprints inside the gym for Bruce Campbell and Douglas Gayden.

For many students, the only relief from the monastery-like atmosphere of MUS is an occasional Co-ed clas. These classes provide the only impetus for some students to use a comb and deodorant. Co-ed classes include Psychology, certain history electives, Calculus, several science courses, and Modem European History. Some lucky students are allowed to travel the hallowed access road to Hutchison for such subjects as Contemporary Political Issues and Spanish. The most frequently used Co-ed course is, however, choral music, a course taught at MUS but consisting of more girls than boys, a veritable young man ' s paradise. Students will sacrifice their grade-point average to land in these classes, but they are not always as good as expected. Most Co-ed classes have only three or four girls at most, and after months of looking at the same ones, the novelty wears off. However, for the lucky few who manage to befriend them, these classes do provide an interesting diversion.

This piece of writing is a tribute to those brave few who look beyond what the uninformed majority calls monotony TU cn and toward the day when all the hard work materializes into an award-winning annual. Overseer of annual operations, Chief Editor Shelley Harrison found time outside school-work and athletics to work with teacher-advisor Mr. Ellis Haguewood in coordinating yearbook efforts. Photography Staff Editor Elmore Holmes, along with Darkroom Editor Mike Windland, provided pictures to go with the words so well thought out. Joel Morrow, the Ad-Man, provided the financial backbone which made possible the paper and plastic upon which the pictures and pondered words were placed. And, finally, the entourage of section editors and staff made up the base of annual operations working more hours on the annual than any reader might spend reading it; the Yearbook staff, through care and dedication, has emerged victorious, and this victory shall not go unnoticed for, as sure as you are reading this book, they have completed their task.

The Government Club under the leadership of faculty advisor Mr. Michael Deaderick and club president Brian Moore sponsored the activities that allowed students to engage in political debates and learn about the governmental system at all levels. The major activities of the club consisted of co-sponsoring the Mid-South Model United Nations with Rhodes College in which over sixty MUS students represented fifteen nations and won two of the top three awards. Although the National Close-up program — a week long session of seminars and guest speakers in Washington, D.C. — had less participation because of the limited amount of places, it was considered by those who went to be one of the highlights of their year. The final major Govemment-Club- sponsored activity of the year was participation in the Youth Legislature in Nashville. That late April event saw participation of over fifty MUS students who joined with more than 500 other Tennessee high school students for a four- day mock state legislature. The students assumed the roles of state representatives and senators and debated student-written bills concerning state law. The Legislature was under the leadership of Youth Governor Brian Moore — the second elected governor from MUS in a row. Junior Craig Nadel mounted a campaign to succeed Moore as Youth Governor.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes attempts to combine a competitive attitude toward sports with a positive spiritual attitude toward life. Under the leadership of President Sterritt Armstrong and counselor John Cady, the FC A held several Friday-morning breakfasts, at which the athletes enjoyed Christian fellowship and occasional speakers, such as Reggie White of the Memphis Showboats. The organization strives above all to create a powerful unity among athletes and to emphasize that there is more than just winning involved in athletics.

Although the money raised ind the assistance provided were greatly ippreciated, the club ' s main goal was to bster a sense of community spirit in the students. By working with local charities such is the Memphis Inter-Faith Association, the Memphis Food Bank, he United Way of Greater Memphis, md the Senior Nutrition Program, the :lub kept almost $4,000 in our own community. Students helped the club aise additional funds for national charities such as Easter Seals, the ynthia Baby Milk Fund, and the Red Cross Mexican Earthquake Relief Fund. The Civic Service Club organized several fund-raisers to help these charities. The Talent Show and the Rock-a-thon, the finale of Charity Week, were the most successful. Another profitable venture was the pizza sales. Working in conjunction with Mrs. Lenti ' s kitchen, the club helped in two ways with this activity: raising money and providing a tasty alternative to Mrs. Lenti ' s superb cuisine. The Civic Service Club also initiated two new methods of raising money: Student Ticket Day, on which those who had purchased a ticket could wear what they wanted to; and Rent-an- MUSer, in which students worked for an alumnus to raise money for the United Way of Greater Memphis. The Civic Service Club ' s various activities provided many ways for students to earn their points. Students weatherized and renovated dilapidated houses; donated clothes to the homeless; collected toys for needy children; and collected cans of food for, and delivered meals to, the hungry. The club also hosted several Boys ' Club kids at the Fall Fest and sponsored the MUS Special-Olympic Basketball Tournament. Seniors pigged out on pizza to raise money for Easter Seals. In short, students did a lot for needy people while gaining a sense of community spirit and improving public opinion of our school.

VISUAL MEDIA 1 29 Expects Awarding Year Under the guidance of Dr. Caldwell, Jonathan Ringel and his seven contributing editors — Eb LeMaster, Sterritt Armstrong, Brian Israel, Brian Moore, Kirk Van Dyke, Andy Rainer, and Gene Hamilton — published the MUSe in early May. The literary magazine featured short stories, poems, photographs, works of art, and creative essays that the students had submitted earlier in the year. Fifty-dollar prizes in each category seemed to spark the students ' interest in the magazine, resulting in more entries than last year. The creative essay was a new part of the magazine. Ringel said that Dr. Caldwell and he had decided to add this category for one reason: The guys at Columbia University (who judged last year ' s magazine) wrote on the evaluation form, ' Where are your essays ' ? The editors performed several tasks: writing copy, editing copy, and evaluating entries. Several meetings were held at Dr. Caldwell ' s house to evaluate entries and, finally, to lay out the magazine. Dr. Caldwell said, I ' m really pleased with this year ' s MUSe, and I hope that we can get a first-place rating from Columbia.

Groups congregate in order to come to better terms with the roots and background of their respective languages so that they may achieve the level of fluency necessary for language mastery. The French Club, headed by instructor Dr. Reginald Dalle and president John Dulin, involves itself in Wednesday after school meetings at which students have the good fortune of nibbling and tasting French tarts and pastries. The Latin Club prepares for the State Latin Tournament. Mrs. Betty Jo Higgs and Mr. Wayne Duff, along with cl ub president Ryan Riggs, direct members toward a firm grasp of the Latin language from which they base their award-winning performances in the State Tournament.

Well, not many teams were talking about beating the Buzzards and a great part of the victories was the rousing yells, leaps, and zippin music of the cheerleaders, yell leaders, and Ishkabibbles. In June the cheerleaders, led by captain Daye Elkin, attended a cheerleading camp at Arkansas State. They won blue ribbons every evening in individual squad competitions and placed in the large-squad division and in the overall competition. In addition they received the Spirit Award for the second year in a row. The yell leaders, with captain Ted Miller, and the cheerleaders urged on the football and basketball teams throughout their seasons. They attended all fourteen of the football team ' s games including away games at Tupelo, Milan, and Marshall County, climaxing with a victory over Austin East in the state finals in Vanderbilt Stadium. They not only aroused the spirit of the students, but unleashed overpowering cheers which had been bottled up inside the parents for years. Moreover, their cheers, yells and moves encouraged the basketball team through almost thirty exhausting games. The Ishkabibble Band increased their repertoire to about 25 songs under the leadership of Mr. Eikner and their president Phillip Harbin. The twelve Ishes played our mighty fight song at the pep rallies and football games with growing skill and enthusiasm. During the second semester while continuing their recruiting efforts, they prepared diligently for a jazz ensemble to be performed in chapel.

Among the requirements for induction into the National Honor Society are scholarship and character, fi-om which flow service and leadership. Those with well-rounded and extensive work and deeds find admittance into this society. Cum Laude requires an outstanding grade-point average. Furthermore, the society holds members who foster Excellence, Justice, and Honor. Students asked into Quill and Scroll display superior skills in the field of writing and literature. Only those talented journalists involved in school publications are granted membership. Mu Alpha Theta bases its membership on a student ' s skill, interest, and high- grade-point-average in mathematics. The Red and Blue Society inducts only those seniors who have gone beyond the call of duty in school service and leadership. They are brought into this society with the consensus of the faculty and headmaster Mr. Eugene Thorn.

On a lighter note, the Three Stooges Club holds precious those three clowns of comedy whom none of us may ever forget. They sponsored the Wise Guy bowling tournament.

Having fun is essential in life and there are those who utilize their mental and physical skills for the sole purpose of having a good time. Such is the role which the various recreational clubs at school serve. The Chess Club, for example, holds periodic meetings and sponsors both intramural as well as interschool tournaments. President Bartlett Durand brought his club to a second-place standing in the Auburndale Chess Tournament, and Michael Windland, champion of the day for the team, reaped a forty-dollar prize for his superior play. A relative of the Chess Club, the Chinese Chess Club, headed by president Ralph Ho, derives from its own tournament play the enjoyment characterized by all the recreational clubs. Also among the games clubs are the Ping Pong and Backgammon clubs. Headed by Presidents Howard Sklar and Keith Woodbury respectively, these two clubs offer much-needed relaxation to the students.

Dr. Hiley taught a one-semester philosophy class in the spring. Giving the traditional new-teacher interview to Dylan Black, Mrs. Margaret Tabor makes MUS her new home. Tabor Takes Charge If the winter had proceeded according to Mrs. Margaret Tabor ' s plans, her agenda would have included vacations to Hawaii and New Orleans. However, Mr. William Hatchett ' s unfortunate illness brought the 1 1-year veteran out of semi-retirement to teach at MUS. Mrs. Tabor mentioned from day 1 that she didn ' t come to do a Hatchett job, and wisely conceded that there is no way anyone cou ld replace Mr. Hatchett. She will not return, though, because she wants to take time off to visit her four children and to travel. Mrs. Margaret McPherson Typing. Mr. Vincent Mutzi Spanish I, II.

Trio Tackles Football Who runs the clock for the state-champion football team? Who calls every tackle correctly? Who is the mouth of the Buzzards? Look and listen for the trio in the press-box. Press-box veterans Mr. Bill Taylor and Mr. Craig Schmidt w ere joined by rookie Mr. Norman Thompson this season, and fans were greeted with press-box operation at its finest. Thompson refers to Taylor as a great spotter, and says Schmidt runs the clock and board well. In past years Schmidt and Taylor provided an effective duo when working with alumnus Hal Fogelman (now radio announcer for the Chicks ' games). When Thompson was signed as a late replacement, the team was formed. Thompson has had experience as a spotter and when he and Taylor were teamed, they immediately became a ' 1-2 punch. ' Said Thompson of his public-announcing duties, I enjoy it pretty well, particularly since no one in the stands kiiows who I am. They do not know who I am when I make mistakes. As Mr. Norman Thompson, the vo ce of MUS football, announces a time-out at the state semifinal 31-29 victory against Goodpasture, spotter Mr. Bill Taylor and clock operator Mr. Craig Schmidt catch a free moment to glance at the cheerleaders.

A sometimes tough, yet always effective dietician, our Cafeteria Queen is well- versed in the laws of running a dining hall. An experienced golfer, Mrs. Lenti has a keen sense of sticking to the rules. Faculty members who know her concur that despite her strictness, Mrs. Lenti is really a nice lady. With her sporting background and her rigid rules, Mrs. Lenti does not fail to lambast one of her over five-hundred daily diners for tapping his fork against the rail. Experience guides her firm hand, but after the Hey boy, one does not have to look hard to see a smile from her. She even gives her boys a tip: Try the green beans; they ' re good. And she said it with a smile. Switching role positions, Mrs. Nell Lenti receives a cake from Dylan Black for her fifteen years of food. Batey Saves Faculty Face With Last-Second Prayer The clock counts down — 30, 29, 28 — as the faculty dribbles down court for the last possession of the game. Batey receives the ball — 6, 5, 4 — closes his eyes — 3,2 — and throws up a prayer. The buzzer sounds as the ball passes through the net — FACULTY 26 SENIORS 24. Teaching Alex Pritchard that it takes more than a hand in the face to stop him, Mr. Mark Counce fast breaks for an underhanded lay-up. Leaping into the air to tower over Mark Salky, Mr. Edward Batey attempts to get rid of the ball to Mr. Guy Amsler before being tackled by football players Greg McGowan, Andy McCarroU, and Wesley Grace. STAFF 153 The Class of 1 986 achieved the pinnacle of success in personal achievement, athletics, and leadership. 44% of the Senior Class received either Semi-Finalist status or a Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Corporation. Senior leadership in football made the long-awaited-for dream of becoming state champions a reality, and the soccer team placed third in the state due to key positions held by Seniors. Under this year ' s strong senior influence the Civic Service Club has been the most active one in years, and the Ad Campaign nearly doubled previous records. Members of this class will be attending some of the most prestigious colleges in the country including Harvard, Princeton, and MIT. Most of all, the Senior Class helped the school ' s reputation by showing class in everything they did. Louis F.

SENIORS 155 Being Ties Students Together With Senior Support The Student Relations Committee was reborn as B.E.I.N.G. (because everyone is needed, groups). BEING met during the year to lower competitive pressures between cliques and facilitate interpersonal relationships. BEING was sponsored by Mr. Ed Batey, Guidance Counsellor; and Dylan Black, Commissioner of Student Services; and has relied on Senior leadership. Mr. Batey depends on the Seniors because the Seniors are comfortable enough to be open in group discussion. BEING, which now includes underclassmen, attempted to see through the mask which students wear at school. Group leader Adam Segal commented: If discussions were going really well, a person in the group began to be seen as an individual, not just as a football player or a brain or a loner. With disbelief at the ravagement to the food perpetrated by the Seniors at the second BEING meeting, Coach Batey, Eb LeMaster, and Jonathan Ringel attempt to uncover a small crumb for dinner.

Visiting Seniors Encounter Bedlam at Universities X. As the miles went by, we wondered about the adventure before us. Here we were, just two country boys from Memphis University School going to the big city to visit a UNIVERSITY. What awaited us? Parties? Degradation? Moral corruption? Egg- headed students with slide rules and compasses? We arrived; stowed away our gear in a dimly-lit, rank-smelling dorm room; and proceeded with a tour of the campus. Totally unprepared for the sights which were to assail our eyes, we decided to sit in on a class. Then the strangeness started: bare feet in class, Walkmen in and out of class, people coming in late and leaving whenever they felt like it, and other atrocities. Later that night we were privileged to attend a college party. The sights we witnessed here would not be believed. The second day was more of the same. I could not see how these kids kept up that pace for nine months. Finally it was time for our departure, and as we drove away we wondered if all of this was really everyday college life or merely staged for the two visitors. Next year, we would know. While visiting his second-choice school, a hopeful Loyal Murphy pauses beside the State Tech ' s emblem affixed to its mascot. SENIORS 159 Yes, No, or Later? All Seniors waited for that long, dreaded walk in April. The mailbox was never as far away as when the hoped-for acceptance letter or the much-feared rejection or deferral letter was waiting to be opened. It was a difficult time for all of us, and we all dealt with it in different ways. These are the stories of three individuals and their feelings as they dealt with acceptance, deferral, and rejection. Their names have been changed to conceal their identity. Claudio had applied early to and was deferred by an illustrious, kudzu- covered school in Mississippi. As he told us, I know this is not the worst thing to befall me; there have been other calamities. But my heart sank when I read ' deferred. ' I just can ' t stand the waiting. Others have a happier tale to tell. Bruno was accepted to his first choice. Hey, Hey, I packed face! Everybody told me I couldn ' t get in, but I did, said Bruno. Once I saw the thick envelope and read ' We are pleased to inform you ' I knew I was going to ' col- lage, ' baby, ' col-lage ' ! Martino ' s story is perhaps the saddest of all. I know I should ' ve studied harder in Algebra I. Well, I guess it ' s just their loss. ' We regret to inform you ' ; yeah, I bet!

Seniors ' Inalienable Rights Capped By Lunch Privilege You are a Senior. You may now break in front of the rest of the peons in the lunch line. You may leave school the last period of the day if you are free (after April 1 5). You may take three class cuts per semester in each class . . . All of these privileges given to Seniors have been long awaited. But the most anticipated is the privilege of eating out once a week during the first semester and twice a week during the second semester. Just put your time out on the line (not before 1 2) and be sure to sign in no later than 1:15. Juniors, sophomores, and, yes, even freshmen beg, plead, cajole, and grovel before awesome Seniors to take them out to lunch at the risk of losing their senior privileges when their magic year arrives, if they are caught. The only problem facing Seniors is Where do I go? Unable to believe that they ate the whole thing. Bo Allen and Andy McArtor attempt to smile as waves of fast-food-induced indigestion overcome them.

SENIORS 163 The gymnasium was filled with blue- robed bodies sweating in the heat. I was struggling to get my hat in place before our march over to the sanctuary at Second Presbyterian Church. The Baccalaureate earlier that morning had been long and full of praise for our class, The Class of ' 86. The Senior luncheon last Wednesday at the Memphis Country Club had topped any lunch we had ever been served at the Clack Dining Hall in six years. The Day We walked across the lawn into the church. Valedictorian Ken Webber made his speech, we received our diplomas, and then it hit me. This was it. The final farewell. The Grand Finale. The last moment of hoopla and merrymaking that the whole Class of ' 86 would ever share together. As we walked out into the sunshine in seemingly unbounded joy, I could not help but wonder if my now former classmiates also felt an ever-so-slight twinge of regret at the dissolution of our class. But more so, I wondered if students to come would remember us; or would the Class of ' 86 go the way of those before us into oblivion?

Harvy Mudd . . . Itawamba Junior College . . . Every year without fail, the members of the Senior Class get barraged with mail from colleges they ' ve never heard of, much less have any intention of attending. Before long, the students are completely confused. Every college is the best: We have consistently been rated among the top schools in the country goes the standard opening line of each letter. Most of these letters are headed for file 1 3, alias the trash. The letters from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, which the students really want, never come. Seniors are forced to write to these schools rather than have the schools come to them. Pointing with delight at his soon to be Alma Mater, David Zarfoss enjoys watching students who did not apply early decision and must spend their holidays writing application essays.

The Junior Class is a group all its own, and thus it is only fitting that they have a game all their own.

The styles with which students employ this privilege are as diverse as the students, but one student stands out in this driving crowd — Mitch Loescher, who chooses to drive a classic 1957 Chevrolet even though his family owns two Audis. Mitch ha5 spent many hours and over a thousand dollars to modify the engine and fine tune the vehicle, claiming his car can accelerate from zero to sixty in about eight seconds and handles better than the Audis.

I also missed more than my share of deadlines this year, both in and out of the classroom. A little too much Senioritis, I guess. A little heavy on the carp ' e diem. But I was not alone in this condition, either. To say the least, we, the yearbook corps of 1 985-86, had some trouble with due dates. Some of the editors had the peculiar problem of being so carried away with perfection and details that paralyzation (rigor mortis?) resulted. Others of us could have used a strong shot of perfectionism, get-up-on-time - ism, or get-something-done - ism. And then a couple of us just tried to do everything at once. Well, we made it anyway. Half the book behind at one point, we made a traditional MUS comeback in a sort of mundane way. No pep rallies, cheerleaders, or theme songs, we just drafted some new help and hit the quad- paks behind the unfaltering leadership of Mr. E. Buddy Haguewood, a veritable Mc Arthur of the yearbook world. Supporting E. Buddy was the Patton of photography — and so much more — J. Elmore Holmes. This guy did it all, from film developing to editorial work, and, at times, single-handedly kept us in the fight. Since this copy is already too long, I feel certain that I cannot mention specifically everyone that I should in this extended military metaphor. But I would like to thank all those people who contributed to the effort. John Dulin and Evan Speight stand out as a couple of fantastic editors, always doing quality work with great time efficiency. One final thought: as editor, I have really learned a lot more about the MUS experience and the Class of ' 86 in particular. There is no question about the job we have done as seniors. We have done it our way and don e it right. To quote the past two yearbooks, we are on the cutting edge, from one end to the other. We are the ring leaders. RING LEADER 269 270 CLOSING When the last seconds are on the clock and the crowd is on their feet, when the PSAT or the SAT or the ACT has begun, when the college interview is underway and there is no one around to lean on — that ' s when the commitment to years of practice and hours of intense concentration pays off. When family or friends or community needs someone dependable, when the temptation to take a short cut or an easy way out or even to quit grows nearly unbearable — that ' s when the integrity buttressed by years of preparation and honest work and strong leadership pays off. And when things are going wrong and a light-hearted phone call or unexpected visit would be reassuring, when things are going right and it is time to party, when it comes down to we against they — that ' s when the camaraderie rooted in the mutual sharing of laughter and dreams and experience pays off. Achievement is the pay-off. Things like the Best of the Preps award. National Merit Finalist status, scholarship offers and college-acceptance letters. That ' s what sets the ring leader apart.

As these dedicated scholar-athletes, such as Cliff Goldmacher and Bernhardt Trout, were busy winning their own matches, their peers were off in Nashville beating Knoxville Austin-East.
