LYNN Of til the people with the rich history of Memphis University School, Col. Ron M. Lynn has undoubtedly left the greatest personal imprint on the school. This remarkable man of vision snd action spearheaded the drive that turned the dream of recreating MUS into a plan and then carried that plan into reality. As Headmaster, Col. Lynn took a single building, six teachers, and ninety students and transformed them into a financially secure institution of eight buildings, fifty faculty members, and over Ave hundred students. Under his skilled leadership, the school reached local, regional, and even national prominence as a truly excellent college preparatory school. Col. Lynn had the unique ability to instill in both faculty and students his own fine attributes of courage, loyalty, dedication, enthusiasm, humor, and selflessness. To many people connected with Memphis University School, he was and always will be thought of as a friend. For all these reasons and for all the fond memories, the 1988 Owl is dedicated to Col. Ross M. Lynn — Mr. MUS. Col. Lynn Dedication 1 T_ Academics page 54 k Organizations page 124 Ad page 212 s 2 Table of Contents slant I ifd aeiu 1-1 e page iu Sports page 76 Table of Contents 3 T The Road of Dedication he long and winding road of dedication steers us from one activity to another. This road takes us from cheering for the varsity soccer team in the state playoffs to watching the undefeated eighth-grade football team whip Germantown to playing for the district championship golf to celebrating Coach Rudolph ' s 200th win in football. Whether we are working against a newspaper deadline at 2:00 a.m. or driving three hours to (JT Martin to compete in the Science Bowl, it is dedication that motivates us. Dedication is what keeps us studying for Mr. Ray ' s seventh grade history tests, Mr. Omundson ' s Kwik Kwizzes, and Mr. Russell ' s infamous Humanities tests. Dedication is a seventh grader riding a bus to Milan to see the football team maul the Bulldogs 16-0, or a sophomore spending all Saturday working on the yearbook, or a senior earning his Civic Service point by helping build a house for Habitat-for-Humanity. In short, the dedication of the students and faculty to both academics and extracurricular activities is a driving force at MUS. After taking the ball off the option, this unfortunate Harding player is immediately hit and stopped by a host of Owls, including Preston Dellinger (80) and Jon Van Hoozer (41). Not able to grasp the nuance between primordial and primeval, Marc Kesselman stays after class one day so that his teacher, Mr. Ellis E. Buddy Haguewood, can explain their meanings to him. 4 Opening Dedication 5 We, the students and faculty of Memphis University School ... During one of the first assemblies of the new school year, Mr. Michael Gunn and Douglas Ray raise their right hands and repeat this line and the rest of the Student body Oath after Mr. Thorn. The student body and the faculty together promise to uphold the pledge; this promise by both groups is just another demonstration of the strong bond between students and teachers at MGS. V The Road Of Honor ww P £ he long and winding road of honor sets MOS apart from all other schools. It ' s our duty to uphold the ninety-year- old tradition of the Honor Code. Not everybody has an honor system that protects him from lying, cheating, and stealing and that is maintained by the students for the students. It takes the whole school — seventh graders, eighth graders, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and faculty — to give meaning to the school ' s motto: Veritas Honorque (Truth and Honor). The Honor System means no locks on our lockers, free periods instead of study halls, unlocked classrooms, and leaving our books in the halls. But honor goes far beyond simply upholding the Honor System; it builds trust, understanding, and camaraderie among students and faculty alike. And it takes honor to complete the definition of the word gentlemen — which is what we all are from seventh grade orientation through senior graduation . . . and beyond. Proof that the Honor System works: students trust each other so much that they can leave their possessions — books, coats, whatever — in the halls without any fear of their disappearing. On a Friday just before assembly, Vere Jehl and Andy Cates greet each other and discuss what is happening over the weekend. The Honor System fosters an atmosphere of friendliness among not only students but also the faculty. ' A • ' -A Opening The Road of Excellence 4k « w ■ T he long and winding roads of dedication and honor lead to one destination: the road of excellence. 25% of the senior class has attained National Merit Semi-finalist status or received a Letter of Commendation. Graduates from MGS attend top colleges — including Dartmouth, Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton, — every year. Excellence is reflected in athletics when the track team wins the region, the tennis team sweeps the district (again), the varsity football team marches to the third round of the state playoffs, or the basketball team earns Coach Peters his 500th victory. The faculty is committed to excellence; forty-one out of forty-nine teachers hold masters or doctoral degrees and are always willing to spend more time with their students outside the classroom. But what makes MGS a cut above the rest is that the students and faculty strive together for a higher degree of excellence. This may entail spending an afternoon tutoring a student, spending an extra thirty minutes in the weight room, or donating many Saturdays to produce a quality yearbook. All this hard work pays off: there is no substitute for excellence. Eluding the hapless Roadrunner defender, Ray Hayles (30) turns on the afterburners as he powers his way to his record-breaking 243 yards in the Ridgeway game. As Jimmy Eggelston affixes his name and grade to the checkout card, a librarian, the always-friendly Mrs. Mary Huckaba, stands ready to turn the film reel over to him. Vj? I ' : • V Excellence 9 10 Divider he long and winding road of Student Life takes us from the R B sounds of Y B Normal at the Victory Dance to the tunes of the Eagle playing in the lounge. It steers us from football stands at Covington to the crowded Snowden Gymnasium at MCJS to the bleachers of baseball games. This road leads us from the cheerleaders in the mud pit at the Fall Fest to the cheerleaders urg- ing us on at basketball games by chanting who dat talkin ' ' bout beatin ' dem buzzards, who dat! It drives us from washing cars to raise money for the Student Council to rocking for charity at the annual Rock-a-Thon. And this path carries us from working backstage at the fall one-act plays to sorting cans at the MIFA Foodbank to dancing all night (or at least until 1 a.m.) at the Spring Formal. In short, it is the overwhelming support of the student body that gives a green light to all the activities on the long and winding road of Student Life. Student Life 11 _ A Hot Spring In the spring, students at MUS are occupied with a multitude of activities: Watermelon feast Spring formal I Elections President ' s farewell speech Student council inductions Senior camp-out Getting an early start on campaigning, Dan McEwan prepares to pass out his gold medals. As Alexander Clark and Michael Windland discuss the success of the Senior prank, Toby Sernel and Matt Yarbrough dream of college life. At the Student Council Watermelon Feast, Hal Bailey demonstrates his ability to slice and dice with his Ginsu knife (the hand is quicker than the watermelon). r. 12 Student Life A big success, the Spring Formal is the height of Spring Life. Spring Life 13 Attending a reception in their honor, Mr. William Hatchett and Dr. Jane Caldwell enjoy being the center of attention. Sick of trading baseball cards, Reggie Richter, Peter Monaghan, and Will Stratton exchange campaign pin-ons. Having not yet realized the effervescence of the early morning, these seniors are still dazed and confused from their slumber, except for Dave Evans, who is always perky around a camera. Breaking the (hick air with a high note, Robert Ducklo, fashion coordinator extraordinaire, gives the first speech of election day. 14 Si The Rites of Spring Is it the beginning or the end? Spring at MUS is one of the busiest times of the year. Aside from trying to salvage our grades at the last possible moment, we usher out the school year with the watermelon feast, the spring formal, the student council president ' s farewell speech, and the senior campout. Simultaneously, we prepare for next year with the hoopla of the student council elections and the inductions of those elected. Deciding the lran-Contra affair can wait, George Bush poses for a snapshot for Richard Hussey ' s family album. Getting behind their candidate, Billy Palmer, everyone has fun on election day.

Longing to be a sailor or a horse, Andrew McDermott dreams of traversing the deep blue seas of Destin, Florida while Kevin Ogilby lies down on the job. While participating in the American Legion Boys ' Nation Program in Washington, D.C., Ryan Riggs breaks his busy schedule to pose in front of John F. Kennedy ' s gravesite in Arlington, Virginia. 18 Student Life THE GREAT ESCAPE Once again last summer, many students and teachers fled from the dull realities of school life to exciting adventures in new surroundings. The beginning of summer marks the start of the Great Escape. Seeking relaxation and a change of pace, students and faculty flock to new places ranging from Destin to China, from Washington to Israel, from Wisconsin to England. They will enjoy their travels, meet new people, and gain experience with life. The end of summers means that they will have wonderful stories to tell, but the end of summer also marks the end of the escape. Students must now return to the pressure, monotony, and reality of school. Students will endure the school year only by thinking of another great summer, another great escape. After a relaxing day on the Jake, Mark Fogelman looks forward to a hearty meal during his fishing trip in Wisconsin. Spending his summer vacation in Israel, Jeff Lewis explores his ancestral homeland by hiking in the Judean Desert. |3n the annual M.U.S.-in-England trip, the group ponders the mysterious History of Stonehenge. Those who participated include Dabney Collier, Justin Mitchell, Todd Photopulos, Michael Austin, James Liles, Bailey I ackson, Elizabeth Roane, Leisel Schadt, Lara Atchley, Michael Behar, and Melissa Errico. Summer Vacation 19 ' ■■ SUMMER EVENTS ATTRACT CROWDS A variety of spectacular visitors came to the River City over the summer of ' 87. Xiu-Hua, a giant panda, visited the Overton Park Zoo and drew more than 225,000 viewers during his 35-day stay. The Kansas City Chiefs and the St. Louis Cardinals played their final exhibition game here in Memphis; the Cards won this game 13-10, and the support of the crowd proved to all that Memphis was ready for NFL franchise. The city ' s most notable visitor was its Ramesses the Great Exhibit. Inside the Cook Convention Center one came face to knee-cap with Ramesses ' 28-foot statue and coveted his solid gold jewBry. The 72 artifacts drew neaBy 675,000 visitors from all arross middle America to .city- isitors, inued Editions of its of ' ;! gathered at lr I urmg Elvis International Tribute Week in August. Earlier in the summer, Memphians completed the restoration and a new home on Mud Island for the Memphis Belle, the most famous B-17 bomber from World War II. Opening festivities included a parade and a fly-over by all of the Belle ' s sister B-17 ' s. Earlier still, Memphians celebrated their two great annual parties: the Memphis in May International Festival honored China, and the Great River Carnival celebrated our ongoing love affair with the Mississippi. After its restoration this summer, the Memphis Belle, World War II B-17 bomber, rests in its new hangar at Mud Island. As the crowds cheer them on, the Kansas City Chiefs line up for their next play against the St. Louis Cardinals at the Liberty Bowl Stadium in their final exhibition game. In overtime, the Cards prevailed 13-10. 20 Student Life m m Coming straight from the Mexico City Zoo. XIU- HUA enjoys the Memphis scene. XIU-HUA was visited by over 225,000 Memphians during his stay from July 31 to September 4. The 10th anniversary of Elvis ' passing was celebrated this past summer in Memphis. International Tribute Week, memorializing Elvis ' death, is held each summer from August 8th through the 16th. It drew hundreds of thousands of long-time fans, who reminisced about the King of Rock and Roll. I0mf « i Summer in Memphis 21 On the 9+age Again As always the graduated thespians of Memphis University School who call themselves CUSTAD (the Company of Unemployed Summer Theater Actors and Dramaphiles) returned to the Hyde Chapel to put on a series of plays this summer. This time around, the actors performed three rather diverse plays: A . . . My Same is AJice. Shoivstoppers. and Bus Stop. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Andy Saunders, who dedicated countless hours to these productions, these summer plays gave graduates another chance to display their theatrical skills on the MUS stage and to reminisce about past performances.

While these students try to stay conscious, Mr. Saunders teaches them the finer points of oratory. Trying to act stimulated, these students pretend to review their notes in Pitner Driving School. Staying Home Over the Summer It ' s summer. School ' s closed. Right? Wrong! While most students spend the summer vegetating in front of televisio n, school remains open. In the Lower School Auditorium, the Pitners teach many 15-year-olds the principles of defensive driving. In the Upper School, teachers spout their knowledge to students who are eager to get ahead. In the playing fields and in the pool, the children at the MUS day camp have fun with their student counselors. Across the street, the Student Council busily washes cars to raise money for upcoming events. The football field is being trimmed for upcoming fall games. Though some schools are not open in the summer, MUS never closes. Fending off several day campers, Andy McCarroll enjoys playing in the pool. In preparation for the 1987 football season, Captain Davis repaints the lockers in the football dressing room. While Mark Griffin gives the sign to the pitcher, Andrew McDermott teaches a day camper the finer points of hitting. Summer at MUS 25 Here We Go Again Oh my gosh! It ' s August 24th already. Back to Mr. Omundson and Mr. Deaderick, essays and exams, Saturday School, the Fall Fest and football games. We renew old friendships and find what ' s new. And what it all means is we ' re back to school. The halls warmly greet us as we enter into a new school year. It doesn ' t take us long to get back to the monotonous 8:15-3:15 routine: searching for a date for the Victory Dance, wondering when the first test is, asking when the progress report will end. Should we drop A. P. Biology?? We now have so many decisions. Summer was so much easier, but summer is gone and school is here for good. 7th graders Jason De Weese and Eric Dalle, lost in the lower school, look for their first period class on the first day. 26 Student Life Working diligently to prepare the stage, Mr. Saunders spent many days during the summer preparing for the upcoming fall plays. Frustrated at having to work in the bookstore, J. R. Liles tries to manipulate Robert Ducklo into buying new books at twice the price of used books. Bored by waiting so long in Jine, Chad Graddy and Nicholas Getaz finally receive their Dobbs cards as John Grilli pushes his way to the front of the line. It ' s That Time Once More Back to School I 27 28 Student Life Looking suave and debonair in the hot summer sun, Will Jones leads a group of incoming students on a tour of the campus on orientation day. Awaiting all the abuse (i.e. gum) that occurs during the school year, these ' desks rest peacefully in the Upper School. Sharing his insight on the Constitution, particularly how this document affects teenagers, Judge Jim Todd, a former MUS faculty member, delivers this year ' s keynote address. Back Where We Belong It takes a while, but eventually we accept the new school year. We search for new clubs to join and for ways to get out of gym. We get used to staying up late doing homework by the middle of September. Questions like What cha do last weekend? or What ' s going on Friday night? abound in the air. We settle down and prepare for the long and hard school year. Continuing a long tradition, the students and faculty repeat the student body oath after Mr. Thorn. Risking their lives while performing heart- stopping acrobatics, the cheerleaders work on this intricate move for the first pep rally. At one of the always lively faculty meetings, the teachers prepare their materials for the upcoming school year and reacquaint themselves with school (especially coffee pots and the Xerox machine). V Back to School II 29 The 9econd Qaturday in October Un Saturday. October 10. another successful Fall Fest took place. Student Council President Ryan Riggs revitalized the Fall Fest. adding such activities as the kissing booth, dunk tank, and BB shoot. Some of the other booths were the dart throw, basketball shoot, and the ever- popular vent for frustration — the car bash. Entertainment throughout the steamy afternoon was provided by three extremely talented bands. The second annual Volleyball tournament, which had over twenty teams competing, was won by the team of Kevin Ogilby. Dan McEwan, Fred Schaeffer. Ion Van Hoozer. Will Jones, and Thomas Hussey. The tug-of-war ended in despair as the rope was broken during the second match by the team led by Chris Gossett. But the main draw of the day was the mudslinging contest, with the cheerleaders as the main participant All in all, another day of run was h iy Festgoers. ttifc The Muster at work: Tommy Garner lels all hear how it ' s done as he keeps the beat for his band. In a stale of disbelief, Dabney Collier wonders how the tug-of-war rope broke, but Chris Gossett and John Percer know it was their great strength The band consisting of |ason Fair. Tommy Garner.

Fall Fest Qtudents 8pring Into Fall (Life) Students at MUS are involved in a plethora of activities during the fall semester that break the monotony of everyday school life. The Student Council sponsored forums where students could voice their opinions about Council activities; what band to get for the Football Homecoming dance, what price to charge for admission to the Spring Formal. On October 7, parents attended ' school for their child on Parents ' Day, and the Student Council executives served as guides for the lost and bewildered. In October, The Upper School gym was used as a polling place for the city ' s annual elections. Students not only voted in these elections but also helped by giving directions to the voting site and enforcing the city ordinances concerning the placement of campaign signs. Other events saw active student support. Before the Brentwood football game, Booster club hosted its annual Spaghetti Supper, where students, faculty, and parents enjoyed chatting over a tasty meal. At every football game, the rowdy student section fired up the team and proved time and time again that cheering is a decisive weapon. The Concert Choir ' s annual Christmas Concert promoted holiday spirit. All these activities add to the hoopla and merrymaking of the 18 weeks of the fall semester. This way. No, this way, sir. During Parent Day, Jon Van Hoozer and Gary Wunderlich confuse a lost parent who simply wants to know where the nearest bathroom is. As Robert sharp tries to find out which band will play at the Football Homecoming dance, Ryan Riggs devours a raisin and kiwi yogurt while Tom Hutton attempts to refrain from upchucking from the smell. Get Up, Get Up, Get Up, Wooo ' .l The cheerleaders and yell leaders fire up the rowd MUS crowd at the Covington game. One of th| most popular activities on Friday night during football season was cheering the team on whO it slaughtered some hapless opponent. 32 Student Life il Showing their deep respect for Memphis ' laws, Brian Davis and Michael Ford check to see if one of Richard Stringer ' s campaign workers has followed the city ' s guidelines for placing signs. The sign was a mere two inches from being illegally placed. Is this the SDPD line? inquired Morris Yen as Cameron Jehl and John Kelly pretend not to know him. While Meyer Horn and Matt Tutor keep the beat, the Concert Choir signs Tomorrow Will be My Dancing Day. Many people, including Donnell and Darrell Cobbins, showed up to socialize and eat at the Booster Club ' s successful Spaghetti Supper. Fall Life 33 Encouraging students to attend the dance, Pope John Pal-mer I announces the coming of the Holy Roman Empire to the Victory Dance. Displaying their great football knowledge, Harding ' s coach (Hank Holmes) and star player (Griff Jenkins) devise an intricate series of plays in hopes of defeating M.U.S. Preparing to abuse every player on the M.U.S. Football Team, the cheerleaders line up for their infamous Roll-Call. 34 Student Life Football Homecoming: R Great Week, H Great Game, H Great Queen The Student Council roused school pirit by planning different events for jach school day during Football iomecoming Week 1987. Monday was Red and Blue Day. Everyone wore the traditional MUS colors to i)egin the spirit-filled week. On Tuesday, Shade and Lid Day, students were glad to appear almost incognito )y donning various caps and dark shades. The most innovative and lilarious day was on Wednesday, vJerd Day. Students thought long and lard on the ideal outfit for the well- Iressed geek. A tropical atmosphere with thoughts of the beach took over m Tahiti Shirt Day. The week closed with the always favorite Grub Day. The standard coat and tie attire was replaced by jeans, t-shirts, and bandanas. The pep rally fired everyone up for the big game; during lunch, the students voted for the 1987 Football Homecoming Queen from among the court of Betsy Barksdale, Detra Housseal, Katie Johnson, Melissa Kirkscey, Elizabeth Libby, and Jennifer McCormick. That night, at 7:30 on Hull-Dobbs field, the MUS Owls stomped the Harding Lions 31-0. At halftime, Jennifer McCormick was crowned queen with Detra runner-up. After the game, the Victory Dance, moved inside because of threat of rain, was held in Clack Dining Hall with Holy Roman Empire as the band. Football Homecoming Week 1987: an exciting week, a great game, and an excellent dance. As Gary WunderJich passes by, Jennifer McCormick and her escort, Jason Peters, are elated by the announcement that Jennifer is the 1987 Football Homecoming Queen. Taking a break from dancing to the music of the Holy Roman Empire, Max Painter, Bailey Weiner, and Ryan Riggs laugh it up with their dates before going to get their pictures taken. Demonstraing their unruliness once again, rowdy seniors storm the stage during the pep rally. Homecoming 35 HO! HO! HO! Exams are over, and the long-awaited holidays have begun. The students and faculty get a well-deserved break of two weeks. Most of us spend our time in some tropical paradise, on the ski slopes, or even in ever-exciting Memphis. However, some of us have to work. The basketball team played several games during the break, including three games at the Illinois Holiday tournament in Carbondale, and the yearbook staff met six times so that it could meet a 70-page January deadline. These two weeks are fleeting, and come January, the warm halls of MUS beckon to us. After one day of school, an eight-inch blanket of snow covered Memphis and gave us an extra four-day respite. As soon as most of the ice and snow melted, we entered into the drudgery of the second semester — until Spring Break. During Christmas break, Mr. Thorn welcomes MUS alumni back to school for their annual brunch. Showing perfect form, fightin ' Mike Deaderick prepares to roll another ball into the gutter. Two Weeks of Bliss 36 Student Life Fatigued from dodging a barrage of rolls at Lambert ' s Restaurant in Sikeston, Missouri, the basketball team poses after sampling the restaurant ' s elegant cuisine. Vacationing in Mexico with his brother Rollin, Ryan Riggs prepares to go shark hunting off the coast. Achieving the wilderness look, Coach Jerry Peters seems satisfied with the flannel hat he bought before the games at the Illinois Holiday Tournament in Carbondale. Holidays 37 Fall One-Acts Cut the Musta ' d Vanities, Present Tense, and Parliament of Howls Wow Hyde Chapel Crowds On November 19 and 21, many a laugh was heard in response to MUSTA ' D ' s fall production of three fantastic one-act plays, directed by thespian extraordinaire Mr. Andy Saunders: Vanities, Present Tense, and Parliament of Howls. All three plays, outstanding in their own right, provided the Hyde Chapel audience with a memorable and chuckle-filled evening at the theatre. Set in a girls ' locker room, Vanities presents an amusing sketch of three hilariously insane cheerleaders (played by Angel Sands, Wendy Smith, and Jamie House) discussing topics ranging from the homecoming dance to college applications. Through their zany dialogue, these cheerleaders give the audience quite a treat to remember. The second one-act, Present Tense, takes place in the bedroom (and mind) of a seventeen-year-old boy named Norm, played by Chad Graddy. In his open discussion with the audience about his girlfriend Ann (Stephanie Butler), Norm reveals his imagined fear that Ann has left him for her old boyfriend Doug (Michael Ford); blown to enormous proportions, Norm ' s insecurity about Doug ' s influence on Ann melts away as the play closes with Ann proving Norm ' s fears totally false. The last of the one-acts, Parliament of Howls consists of eight short, witty sketches culled from British humorists (such as the infamous Monty Python). Will Harris amuses many with his sermon on life as a can of sardines; he later satirizes scriptural demagoguery when he quotes the verse my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am a smooth man. Marvin Palmer and Ali Gunn are exemplary in a sketch involving a one- legged man trying out for the ro le of Tarzan. Mike Masterson, a talk show host, interviews Sir Arthur Streebe-Greebling (Spence Medford) about his catastrophic enterprise — a restaurant curiously named The Frog and Peach with an equally curious menu. In each of these sketches, the actors utilize quite convincing British agcents to make this humorous play even more farcical and entertaining. All in all, these three fall one-acts proved to be an overwhelming success and once again demonstrated MUSTA ' D ' s theatrical prowess. Laughing nervously and feeling less than masculine, Norm (Chad Graddy) has a chat with Doug (Michael Ford) about Ann in Present Tense. Staring dreamily out into space, Norm (Chad Graddy) finally realizes how much Ann (Stephanie Butler) loves him. ?mm m$mS8m®m counterclockwise from above; Always Mr. Macho, Doug (Michael Ford) enjoys the support of cheerleaders Meredith Mack, Jynnifer Isbell, and Cat Florendo in Present Tense.

Gameshow host Spence Medford introduces guests Mao Tse-Tung (Will Harris), V.I. Lenin (Ali Gunn), Karl Marx (Mike Masterson), and Che Guevara (Marvin Palmer) in Parliament of Howls. Fall One-Acts 39 Molly ' s La Casita and Houlihans are just a couple of the fine dining establishments where students can eat their fill. Dreaming of leather, studs, and Harley-Davidsons, Jon Van Hoozer and Andy Girard contemplate the idea of getting a tattoo at Rocky ' s Tattoo Studio. Taking a break from the merry-go-round, Gary Wunderlich and Phillip McCaull and their escorts Sally Stevens, Valerie Scott, and Detra Houseal wait to ride the ferris wheel at the Mid-South Fair. 40 Student Life Showing the helping hand of the government, Scott McArtor and Wendy Smith strike a deal for airline shipping regulations. In their search for The Great Tamale, Andy Girard, Scott McArtor, and Jon Van Hoozer find themselves in a Mexican state of mind outside of El Chico. Diving deeeep, Philip McCaull, Marc Griffin, Jon Van Hoozer, and Scott McArtor enjoy themselves on Halloween at Overton Square. Despite college deadlines, rigorous courses, team practices, and passing five subjects, it is amazing that we have the time and will to keep up an extremely social social life. But we find time. We manage to discover something to do in the River City from the North End to the South End and everywhere in between. School functions such as Varsity games, Student Council dances, and theatrical productions still remain popular among the vast majority of students. Many of the students, however, also seek entertainment elsewhere. Whether it is listening to live bands at local nightspots or just hanging out at Beal Street, MUS students find time to have fun. As one student put it: I ' ll study hard tomorrow; I ' ve got a date tonight. ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT Night Life 41 Taking time from his busy schedule, the ambassador from New Zealand, Sir Wallace Rawlings, poses for a picture with Mr. Leslie Daniel and Mr. Gene Thorn. While the ball o ' lightning crackles on the table, Mr. Roger Van Cleef explains the mystery of the narwhale horn. In his ascinating lecture on Russian culture, Mr. Tom Beyer describes the current student exchange program between the United States and the Soviet Union. 42 Student Life From Russia To BeiJina Though we hardly realize it, we spend about one hour and forty minutes a week in our chapel seats. Throughout the first semester, a wide range of speakers came to MUS to discuss a variety of topics. Through the generosity of Federal Express, Mr. James Humes, an Anglophile, journeyed to Hyde Chapel to present an excellent portrayal of Sir Winston Churchill. A professor at Middlebury College, Dr. Tom Byers, discussed American-Soviet relations and the impressions of Soviet culture he gathered while traveling across the Soviet Union. Sir Wallace Rawlings, the New Zealand ambassador to the United States, spoke about New Zealand ' s diplomatic relations with America and about New Zealand society. Other interesting and informative programs were a talk about AIDS, a speech on the Holocaust, a lecture on the Armand Hammer art collection at Dixon Gallery (given by Mr. Russell), and Mr. Omundsom ' s thorough slide show on his summer trip to China. Addressing a horrifying topic, Rabbi Mark Belgrad delivers a moving speech on the Holocaust. Continuing a sixteen-year-old tradition started by Ellis E.

The scope of these activities does not benefit just a few students, but rather the whole school. The first activity of the week was on Wednesday when over 20 students and teachers donated their precious blood to the Memphis Life Blood Center. Those twenty brave people who dared to venture into Life Blood ' s blood mobile surpassed any other year ' s figure. On Friday, the Seniors played the River City Rollers, a team of handicapped athletes, in a wheelchair basketball game. Despite spotting the Seniors 70 points, the Rollers scored 77 points in only 30 minutes, but they narrowly lost to the Seniors 78-77. For playing the exhibition game, the Executive Committee donated $100 to the phenomenal Rollers. Saturday morning saw the annual Special Olympics Basketball Tournament take place in the gymnasium. The overwhelmingly successful event drew nine teams, each of which won a trophy for playing. The long-awaited Charity Talent Show brought forth some of the most versatile and talented students. Sixteen acts representing four schools competed on Saturday night; the show raised some $3000 for Memphis charities. The Talent Show featured five bands, two skits, and several soloists. First place honors went to the band Cold Cozer (Tommy Garner, Joe Boone, Stephan Crump, John Grilli, Greg Hitt, and Meyer Horn) for its outstanding rendition of Born to Run. P. J. McGhee, playing Iphiganea, and Tiffany Huges, singing Only You, took second and third respectively while Village Mania was voted the most entertaining act. Civic Service Club Executive Chairman Mark Fogelman summed up Charity Week as a great success because of the efforts made by many students who not only planned these activities but also participated in them. It was another way to get students involved in activities which are profitable for the whole community. Behind the powerful beat of its two drummers, Tommy Garner and Meyer Horn, Cold Cozer performs Born to Run, ' a rendition for which it received first place. How long was college? Real looong. In their skit Fishing Memoirs, Wren Greene and Brian Mallory provide a humorous look at a fishing trip. As he watches his blood fill a plastic bag, Preston Dellinger wonders how long it will be before he slips into a coma. 46 Student Life Dancing to the tune of Macho Man, Village Mania — Kevin Ogilby, Douglas Gayden, Jon Van Hoozer, Michael Skouteris, Jason Peters, Fred Schaeffer, Scott McArtor, Andy Girard, and Marc Gurley — strut their stuff like the Men of Chippendale. Despite the defense of Douglas Gayden and Wren Greene, another River City Roller tosses in two more points. The Seniors edged the Rollers 78-77 (the Seniors were spotted only 70 points). During the Special Olympics basketball tournament, in which nine teams participated, one basketball player executes a silky-smooth eight-foot jumper. Even though Marc Gurley, Mark Fogelman, Brian Mallory, Scott McArtor and Ryan Riggs tested the sound system during the sound check, the system managed to fail on three occasions: during Melissa Kirkscey and Lauren Houston ' s dance, Katie Wadlington ' s dance and Anne McGrew ' s solo. Charity Week 47 Life Down in the Hull Lower Qchool Despite what one may think, the Lower Schoolers don ' t spend all of their time at MUS meandering around the seven classrooms, four corridors, and auditorium which comprise the Hull Lower School. They play games such as paper football and chess to occupy their time. They attend MUS sporting events, and their Student Council sponsors activities for them. The two main events held this year by the Lower School Student Council were the Lower School Dance and the magazine drive for St. Jude. Seventh and eighth graders and, for those who had them, their dates partied a Friday night away. Following tradition, the Student Council held the dance in the lounge, and the band was The Five Who Killed Elvis. For as long as anyone can remember, Lower Schoolers have been selling magazine subscriptions to their friends and relatives to raise money for St. Jude. Their efforts raised close to $3000 for St Jude ' s Children ' s Research Hospital to help in the battle against children ' s diseases. Not realizing that he has lost control of his class, Mr. James Russell pauses to see if there are any questions about To Kill a Mockingbird. Extremely grateful for MUS ' s help, Mr. Bill Davis hands out order forms for the St. Jude magazine drive. Laughing smugly, David Henderson and Patrick McCarroll and their dates enjoy watching the other Lower Schoolers attempt to dance . 48 Student Life Looking through his notes, Ryan Riggs decides which U. N. delegation needs these Lower Schoolers as pages. While Joey Shanks and Cort Winsett cheer on their favorite athlete, Brian Evans and Barney Witherington display their brute strength in the Lower School arm wrestling championship.

Asserting his suspicions of Prof. Hill, Mayor Shin (Michael Austin) commands the Quartertones (Mr. John Hiltonsmith, Michael Ford, Martel King, and Matt Tutor) to retrieve the Professor ' s credentials. IT I 1 I fff y frfci — —  t P Mm «tffl Student Lif River City Comes To The River City This year ' s spring musical, The Music Man, portrays a small Iowa town drastically changed by the arrival of swindling band instrument salesman Professor Harold Hill. Professor Hill, played by Will Harris, I tells the stubborn townspeople that their trouble is a new pool table that will soon be corrupting the children. He, of course, has the solution: the formation of a kids ' band for which he will provide instruments and uniforms for a modest import fee. The librarian, Marian Paroo (Allison Christian), and the mayor (Michael Austin) are suspicious of Professor ' Hill ' s intentions. To keep the young librarian quiet, Hill keeps her off balance by wooing her with his quick tongue and sharp wit. She resists but is eventually swayed by Hill ' s charismatic salesmanship. When the time comes to skip town, Hill realizes that his plan has worked too well; Marian has fallen in love with him, but he has also fallen in love with her. As expected MUSTA ' D continued its tradition of quality theater. This is one of the most talented casts I ' ve ever worked with, insisted Mr. Philip Eikner, director of The Music Man. Thespians Will Harris, Ted Cooper, and Shirley Pao have appeared in a number of other MUSTA ' D productions. Other talented individuals, such as Martel King, Prasad Jallepalli, and Allison Christian, made their first appearances in a MUSTA ' D production. Mr. John Hiltonsmith, after a ten year absence from the stage, returned as the Quartertones ' tenor, Jacey Squires. The actors were not the only skilled individuals to contribute. Imagine a play without sets, props, or lights. Doesn ' t sound like much of a play, does it? postulated Jonathan Weinburg, who played the River City constable. Under the leadership of Technical Director Andy Saunders and Stage Manager Bryan Davis, the tech crew again laid the icing on the cake. In the words of Ali Gunn, who played Marian ' s mother, Mrs. Paroo, It was a bloody fine show. 1 I Ifc M Celebrating the creation of a new boys ' band, a youth (Richard Wooten) defies gravity while the rest of the cast debate. Having recently arrived in River City, Professor Harold Hill (Will Harris) discusses his plan with his old friend Marcellus Washburn (Prasad Jallepalli). Winter Play 51 52 Student Life You Said It 53 Gluing up a Tuesday morning, these freshmen busy themselves taking the CEEB Achievement Test. By their freshman year students have become accustomed to being subjected to such standardized tests. AlLof this is good preparation to insure a strong performance on the SAT, ACT, and ACH ' S. 54 Divider T he long and winding road of Academics carries us from Mr. Cady ' s seventh grade Old Testament survey to Mr. Schmit ' s Religion and Literature class. It drives us from Mr. Haguewood ' s ninth grade English course to Mr. Shelton ' s two A. P. English classes. This highway moves us from Algebra I in the eighth grade to roticerizing graphs for Mrs. Edmondson in Functional Analysis and Trigonometry (i.e., Precalculus) to take-home tests in Mrs. Warner ' s Calculus class. It transports us from the scrawl of Mr. Deaderick ' s handwriting in his A. P. American History class to the legible script of Mrs. Higgs as she writes ' Arma virumque cano , . . in Latin IV. And this path leads us from winning second place at the state Latin conven- tion to placing in the Science Bowl to capturing the city title in the local Mu Alpha Theta competition. The commitment to study by all students and the dedication to teach by the faculty never swerves from the long and winding road of Academics. Academics 55 A CASE STUDY: JER Department: English Course: Junior English Review Teacher: Mr. Ellis Haguewood What are Thursday nights like for a first semester Junior at MUS? That ' s easy. Thursday night is vocabulary night. The Junior must prepare for Friday ' s big test on eighty-five to one hundred of the biggest words the English language has to offer. If a student were to see Mr. Haguewood after class and ask about a word such as regicide, Mr. Haguewood might respond, Regicide, matricide, patricide, fratricide, and sororicide are a plenary cornucopia, a multitude of pulchritude, a sundry of words which are profligate and morbid. And believe it or not, the student would walk away with full understanding. In addition to vocabulary, the Junior English Review student reads a series of articles from magazines and newspapers called clippings. These clippings discuss every facet of the English language from folk etomologies to blackspeak (or ghettoese) as a distinct and legitimate dialect. Finally, because college board tests are rapidly approaching, Mr. Haguewood drills his pupils on common usage errors. Occasionally a student might whine that such a class is useless, but Junior English Review is one of the most helpful tools to get the MUS student on the long and winding road to Puzzled that his Southern Renaissance class does not know who Allen Tate is, Mr. Lin Askew goes ahead and lectures his English class on leaf imagery in Tate ' s Ode to the Confederate Dead. Bugging Mr. Haguewood about a petty point on a clipping quiz, Marc Kesselman asks him what the difference is between a sckacks (ugly) and a two-bagger (someone who requires just that to cover her looks) woman. Academics . Briefing his Lower School pupils on the rigors of Upper School English, Mr. Phillip Eikner lectures on the new Present-Past- Future-Pluperfect tense. Making his acerbic point in reflective fashion, Mr. Terry Shelton tells his A.P. Junior English class, Short people are better. Take for example Napoleon, Truman Capote, William Faulkner, and Reading over a handout to her seventh grade English class, Mrs. Barbara Crippen realizes that her students are not yet ready to study the metaphysical poets. English As chairman of the History Department, Mr. Michael Deaderick, who teaches American History, Recent American History, and U.S. Military History, oversees his department (and a whole load of other activities) from his spacious office. Acade, When the Past Meets the Presen Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. — George Santayana Social Studies is the examination of man ' s nature, his ideas and institutions — both past and present — and draws its substance from several disciplines. It is the function of the History Department to explain the political, social, intellectual, and economic development of man and to contribute to the understanding of the way in which the complex interplay of these forces has molded the world. In order to accomplish this task, the department Confused about the religious significance of Billy Budd, Jeff Lewis chats with Mr. Curt Schmitt in hi s office about BiiJy Budd, Sailor, a book read in Mr. Schmitt ' s Religion and Literature class. communication skills, and an appreciation of the contributions of all cultures to the history of many from the earliest times to the present. The philosophy of the History Department was defined in a departmental syllabus given to teachers before the 1982-1983 school year. This philosophy (and the excellence in education that has resulted from it) has endured the long and winding road to 1988. The religion department, under the leadership of Mr. Curt Schmitt, requires three semesters of coursework. Seventh grade Old Testament survey and ninth grade New Testament Survey are mandatory, while the final semester is taken in the Junior or Senior year. An upperclassman may meet his graduation requirement by taking Religion and Literature, Ethics, Church History, or any other of the classes taught by Mr. Curt Schmitt or Mr. Cady. Emphasizing his point with volume and body language, Mr. Guy Amsler encourages his eighth grade World History class to study for tomorrow ' s test. — —————— — — — — History Religion : ffT r In Search for Our Heritage Inspired by the fresh air, these Art I students look forward to the day when their work will be hung in the Louvre.  i ti T - — : Vexed that his student Ron Callan doesn ' t understand why the subject and verb must agree, Mr. Vincent Mutzi helps him grasp the concept. Academics £§§§§ National championships are not necessarily reserved for the playing field, as evidenced by Prasad Jallepalli ' s first place finish at the National Latin Convention in Deland, Florida. It is this brand of excellence which typifies not only the Foreign Language department but also MUS as a whole. In addition to Latin, French and Spanish enhance the cultural well-roundedness of the MUS student. The graduation requirements implemented by the Foreign Language Department demand that the student complete at least two consecutive high school years of a foreign language. Another graduation requirement at MUS is the Fine Arts credit. The most popular way to get this credit is Concert Choir, which under the direction of Mr. John Hiltonsmith has risen from the depths of humiliation to high standards of excellence. Non- singers may choose Music Appreciation, and Art I and Humanities remain popular options. Having finally gotten her students ' minds off the pulchrae puellae, Mrs. Betty Jo Higgs tries to convince her Latin I students that Latin is not dead but immortal. •v.- ■ ■mwwww F.L. F.A. In years past, only the most ac- ademically inclined of the seventh grade were allowed to take Pre- Algebra. Now instead of taking a year of mathematical review, the entire seventh grade is taking Pre- Algebra. This will give all a chance to take classes such as Calculus when they are seniors; before, only advanced math students had this option. As always, however, some stu- dents will be stronger in math than others. For those elite few, an ad- vanced class taught by Mrs. Anita Hampson moves at a faster rate. In the future, expect to see MUS stu- dents win more math awards be- cause of this change. There is no substitute for a strong foundation. Never turning her back on her unruly students, Mrs. Beth Edmondson uses the overhead to make a list of each geometrical shape on her skirt. Explaining her grading system before handing out a pile of graded quizzes, an unsuspecting Mrs. Anita Hampson is rushed by impatient and curious Craig Isenberg. Academics A Stronger Foundation Having been volunteered by his teacher (Mrs. Edmondson), Robert Higginbothom uses the overhead to explain a complex Algebra II problem to his accelerated math class. i Mathematics DECISIONS AND DEMANDS h ., . -:--.r. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. The life of an upper school student is a life of choices. Should I ask out Alison or Marcy? Should I do my report tonight and watch Moonlighting tomorrow or should I watch ALF tonight and do my report tomorrow? Which elective: Typing, Speech, Psychology, American Government, or Economics? Choice of elective depends upon interest or the requirements of the student ' s dream college. Also counted as electives are any math courses after three years, or any science, history, or foreign language course after two years. A. P. classes are not for the ordinary student, but for the extraordinary student who has already established himself as academically superior. At the first of the year, Mr. Deaderick tells his American History classes, My A. P. course is at least 10 points harder than my regular class. Doubting his pupil ' s sanity, Coach Batey leads Seth Alpert through a series of tests during Psychology. In this part Seth pretends to be his favorite superhero. Delving info the laws, properties, and characteristics which compose our physical world, Rajeev Memula and Phil Tarkington carefully prepare a lab in A.P. Biology. • AP Electives CHEMISTR Department: Science Subject: Chemistry I Teacher: Mr. Jerry Omundson Description: In Mr. Omundson ' s class, subject matters range from the basic concepts to the complex. By the time the year is finished, one I has learned about thermo- chemistry, gas laws, nomenclature, Lewis structure, i and scientific method. From day one, Mr. Omundson tells students that they will have ! to think rather than regurgitate. i Class lecture is supported and ; reinforced by work in the lab goggles, and knowledge and understanding is measured through Kwick Kwizzes and major tests. Not to be forgotten are the notecards which never get made, the magic bottle, the cute stuffed mole, the embarrassing lab goggles, the quotes of the day, and Mr. O ' s stories of hot air 1 (balloons). Other science classes that are offered include the seventh grade Biology and eighth grade Earth Science (both mandatory); Introductory Physical Science; and the electives Biology and Physics. Lurking in the distance, Mrs. Dorothy Cannon prepares to pounce on Gary Wunderlich ' s first mistake. This is Mrs. Cannon ' s first year of teaching chemistry. Academics ■ h • Forgetting whether he added his 50M HCL, Keith Bayha decides to find out through a series of tests: shaking, whafing, and drinking. Working out the bugs in his program, A.P. Pascal student Michael Wexler wonders how a machine could be so picky. Science I BOOKS AND BABES In the macrocosm of our mundane existence, certain things are inherent: the sky is blue, the sweet song of a bird permeates the late spring morning, and boys like girls. It is these primal instincts which drive one to gaze upward in awe, to stroll through the park focusing on the hark of a lark, and to sign up for co-ed classes. According to the registration rules of both MUS and Hutchison a student may take classes only if a scheduling conflict arises. Hutchison students are often forced to take a class at MUS. In the Science Department, Chemistry I and II, A. P. Biology, and Physics are co- educational. Other co-ed courses available are Calculus, American Government, Psychology, and Economics. Finally, there is Concert Choir, a relatively painless means of • obtaining one ' s Fine Arts credit and a date for the weekend.

Co-Ed Stuping face and mind, Chris Beale, Sean McNeill, and Brad Bradford enjoy their free time in Clack Dining Hall Our Hour Although some may think that the Free Period is simply play time, the period serves more often than not as a learning experience. The Free Period gives the college-bound student an opportunity to learn to manage his time. For those who cannot handle the privilege of the Free Period, S 3 (Supervised Study Session) provides an ample deterrent. There are many options for spending a Free Period: shooting baskets in the gym, snacking in the lounge, congregating in Coach Batey ' s comfortable office, pestering the librarians, or maybe even studying. Getting an arm up on Coach Ed Batey, Peter Goldmacher spends a leisurely free period in the guidance counselor ' s office. Free Period Engrossed in a book, senior Kevin Tilley knows where to go for some peace and quiet. Academics f Hyde and Seek i What is it like to stare into the open mouth of a hungry lion? All MUS students know this feeling after walking into the Hyde Library Learning Center. Upstairs, the mezzanine is cohabited by industrious students who have found a quiet place to study and a life-like replica of the king of beasts. Down below, the research well is frequented by students working on research papers and essays. Any MUS ' er having difficulty locating some obscure but necessary tidbit of information can easily find help from one of the friendly librarians. The newest addition to the the library is the COLLEGE U.S.A. videodisk system. The system enables college-bound students to watch a short profile of various universities. Mrs. Evans reports that MUS is one of a very few elite schools chosen to acquire this new system. Having narrowed their college choices to Boise and Prairie View U., seniors Scott McArtor and Chris Sullivan investigate these two colleges even further by using the library ' s new COLLEGE U.S.A. video disk system. Taking full advantage of Hyde Library ' s complete audio selections, Jimmy Eggleston is assisted in the checkout process by librarian Mrs. Mary Huckaba. Toil and Sweat For the first time, all P.E. students are taking the President ' s Physical Fitness Test. The results show that these students are slightly below the national average. Coach Bobby Alston feels that the scores support the idea that Americans ain ' t in good enough shape. Not all hope is lost, for it is not to be forgotten that the ranks of P.E. class do not include those students who play sports. Another feature in P.E. class is that one report is given by each student each quarter. These reports compel the student to learn about health-related studies, enriching the mind as exercise cultivates the body. But as one doubter comments, What do you think the other six periods are for? Still, some things never change — P.E. means sweat. Chugging around a corner of trie gym, Bert Robinson fulfills the running assignment for the day: fifty laps around the gym. t As he passes into Coach Bobby Alston ' s view, Johnny Jenkins breaks into a jog for the first time all day. While Lower Schoolers and Coach Leuze cheer him on, Philip McDermott tries in vain to pull his chin over the lower bar one more time. Academics Preparing to run three miles on the track, two P.E. students stretch their bodies in order to prevent muscle cramps. Physical Education Practice makes perfect: Linebackers John Percer (44) and Andy Girard (34) put themselves through an agility drill so that they will always be one step quicker than their opponents. Such dedication was characteristic of the Owl defense, which allowed fewer than 120 points the whole season. 76 Divider he long and winding road of Sports steers us from a hot and steamy August football practice to Ray Hayles ' record-breaking 243 yards in the 37-0 triumph over Ridgeway to the 16-0 romp of Milan in the state playoffs. It takes us from a first place finish in the region in track to district champions in golf to an undefeated eighth grade football team. This trail carries us from the 6:45 a.m. practices for cross country to the grueling Phy-D for wrestling. This road powers us past ECS 26-10 in football and also past previously-unbeaten White Station 62-47 in basketball. And it leads us from Coach Rudolph ' s 200th win against Catholic to Coach Peters ' 500th win against Collierville. The participation by the students and coaches gives the long and winding road of sports a one way ticket to success.

Leaving Briarcrest opponents behind, Ray Hayles flies through the 100-yard dash for a first place finish. T earn Wins Region Kyle 1st in State Mile The 1987 varsity track team flew through a strong season with a stupendous 3-0-0 record. Under the leadership of head coach Bobby Alston, distance coach Eddie Batey, and field coach Barry Ray the team won first place in the Regional Meet. The Owls also placed first in the Harding and Union City Invitational Meets and second in the MUS Invitational. The team was strong overall, but strongest in middle distances and the pole vault. Kyle King led the onslaught of the middle distance runners, for he was consistently placing first or second in the mile or 880-yard runs. He highlighted his season with a first place finish in state mile with a time of 4:22. Jim Gilliland, Max Painter, and Steve Sands won many additional points for the team by regularly placing in their events. Pole vaulters Will Jones and Pat Kelly also contributed strongly to the team ' s success, often scoring first or second place. During the course of the season, Will vaulted to a height of 12 ' and Pat reached 11 ' 6 Other season highlights included the two- mile relay team of Max Painter, Andrew McDermot, Gary Wunderlich, and Fred Schaeffer. Their 8:22 time provided the team ' s only first place finish in the Regional Meet. Other team strengths included the double- whammy of Kyle King and J. R. Liles in the 880-yard run, Scott McArtor in the 120-yard high hurdles, and Ray Hayles and John Percer in the sprint races. In the field events, Edward Dobbs and Scooter Herrington did well in the high jump, while Robert Knapp soared to more than 20 feet in the long jump. The team, however, did not prove to be very formidable in the weight events and in some of the sprints. Lack of experience and depth were the two chief problems in these areas. Despite such drawbacks, Coach Alston indicated that the team showed great promise for next season.

Sporting sharp new pin-stripe uniforms, the Owls took the field with a fresh look. With only four starting seniors returning from last year, Coach Cady had to rely more than usual on the underclassmen. The main strength of the players was their offense. Juniors Thomas Hussey (who had the team high .467 batting average and 18 RBI ' s) and Kevin Tilley (who had an outstanding .467 batting average) led their teammates in an impressive hitting season. Mark Hopper, John Van Hoozer, John Moore, and Richard Hussey (who also led the team in doubles) all batted over .350. The team ' s defense, however, proved much less effective than its offense. When on defense, the squad struggled in the areas of pitching and fielding. A sheer offensive advantage was not enough for the winning season. Kevin Tilley and David McCollough rotated pitching duties, with occasional appearances by Pat Hopper and Geoffrey Wilson, the team ' s only freshmen. For the first time, a regular Junior Varsity Baseball Team was introduced to the lineup of the Owl teams. Although they had a losing 1-8 record, the team members gained valuable experience for future varsity play. Lower School P. E. instructor Steve Leuze was chosen to coach this newly formed baseball team, which was composed mainly of freshmen and sophomores. Connecting on a 3-2 pitch, senior Richard Hussey sends another one to the outfield. Richard provided leadership, solid defense as catcher, and consistent hitting with a .368 batting average. : 1987 JV BASEBALL: first row: Buck Dunavant, Ryan Lieberman, Brad Bradford, Philip Wunderlich. second row: Brant Weber, Jep Gates, Darrin Gulla, Phillip Buddenbohm, Chuck Baker, Alan Moore, third row: Max Painter, Dan Shell, Kenneth Lee, Shannon Rhodes, Will Hughes, Coach Steve Leuze. not pictured: Jonathan Weinberg (mgr.)

Sacrificing only eight matches, the team overwhelmingly beat perennial powerhouses such as CBHS and Germantown. The top six netters during the season were Marty Felsenthal, Alan Graber, David Felsenthal, Bill Smith, Sarko Kish, and Chris Lee. In the Chattanooga Rotary Tournament, which took place in the latter part of the season, these top six players came through with a superb first place finish in the Boys ' division. Both Sarko and Chris won their categories in singles, while the teams of Marty-Sarko and Bill-Chris won their categories in doubles. At the District and Regional Tournaments held at MUS, Bill Smith led the onslaught to the district title by winning the singles crown.

The Owls consisted mainly of sophomores, but were led by seniors Johnny Norris, Jim Boals, and Brian Browder. With such a strong team, Coach Winfrey anticipated a productive season. Winfrey, with experience in coaching Classic and European soccer, understood that, for the team to be successful, he would have to organize and develop the players early in the year. The starting defensive players were seniors Brian Browder and Chris Joe and sophomores Potzi Webber, Kyle Smith, Billy Frank, and goalie Eric Schofield. The offense, with midfielders Rob Winfrey, Trey Thomas, and senior Ji m Boals, was complemented by the aggressive and unrelenting senior forwards Johnny Norris, Todd Brown, and Craig Nadel, with backup from Mark the Gazelle Cox and freshman David Norris. In regular season play, the Varsity Owls rolled over helpless opponents, losing only one game. Among the teams which fell prey to the Owls were Old Hickory and Bishop Byrne, losing 9-0 and 16-0 respectively. However, the team tied 2-2 against a surprisingly well-rounded Harding team. The game against arch-rival Germantown may have been one of the closest and most exciting match- ups of the year. With a score of 0-0 in the second half of play, it looked as though the game would be a draw, but with five minutes left in play Johnny Norris headed a ball past the Germantown keeper to clinch the game, 1-0.

Late in the season, the Owls were put up against a strong CBHS team at Willow Field. The Purple Wave handed MUS its only regular season loss at 0-2. The game against Harding was little better, with another 2-2 tie. With only two games left, the Owls beat Auburndale and Bartlett each 2- to end the season with a 11-1-2 record. The Owls entered the Regional Tournament with high hopes. The first game against Bartlett was won 2- 1, advancing the Owls to the semi- finals. They captured another 2-1 win over Germantown and played Harding in the finals. With time running out and the score tied, David Norris assisted Trey Thomas in the winning goal. Finishing the game with another goal, the Owls won 5-3, thus winning the region. In the substate they faced White Station and lost 2-0, ending hopes of a state championship until next year. Even though the Varsity Team had lost its chance to win the State, it did finish its best season ever with a 14- 2-2 record. The hard play, the dedication by the players, and the superior organization and leadership by the coaching staff and team leaders resulted in a consistent and well-developed team that exemplified quality high school soccer.

Although relatively young and inexperienced, the J.V. squad, composed of only freshmen and sophomores, proved to be tough competition for older teams such as ECS. The freshman trio of Monte Sernel, Sean McNeill, and Josh Thome (who scored all but two of the team ' s fourteen goals) led the aggressive offensive attack. Midfielders Peter Monaghan, Jimmy Eggleston, and Jennings Durand all provided solid play on both offense and defense. Sophomores Andy Cates, Cameron Trenor, Adam Tooley and goalie Andrew Crosby headed a tough-as-nails defense. Because of superb play on both sides of the ball, the team compiled an undefeated record. Playing Harding twice, the kickers tied the Lions in the first game 0-0, but Erevailed in the second game 1-0. The ighlight of the season came at a 4-2 shellacking of Bishop Byrne. Based on such outstanding play, these J.V. kickers should develop into fine Varsity players. Coach Daniel commented on the whole season: The intensity and skill of these players helped us achieve an undefeated season; they also were a pleasure to coach during my first season.

Station 2 ■ H arriers Face Strong Competition Finish 7th in Region The cross country team ran a good season and finished with a 7-3 record. Under the guidance of Coach Eddie Batey, the Owls reinforced their reputation among the running elite. In the season ' s opening meet, MUS ran against visiting Brentwood and five local schools. The team finished fifth out of seven with strong showings made by Brentwood, CBHS, and Germantown. Undaunted, the harriers moved on to the first league meet at Shelby Farms, placing a respectable second out of four teams. The Bishop Byrne Invitational at McKellar Park posed a challenge for the Owls with such obstacles as hornets and bad footing, but the team pulled through and came in third out of ten. However, the second league meet, on home turf, brought more surprises with the unexpected speed of the Catholic and Millington teams pushing MUS down to a third place. At the MUS Invitational, the team again faced the speed of the season ' s earlier competitors and finished with a decent fifth place. The remainder of the League meets were blow-outs for the Owls, with wins over teams such as Harding, Bolton and Bartlett. The final league meet was a glorious win for MUS with the team achieving a perfect finish of 15 with a score of 17. A change this year was Coach Batey ' s approach to training. Because long distance running requires mental as well as physical skills, he acquired the services of a sport psychologist to help the harriers tap their mental resources and develop discipline and endurance, both prerequisites for a successful runner. To improve the physical side, he led an early morning workout at 6:45 for a few days, in addition to the regular afternoon running, to increase the team ' s speed. The Owls ' top speedsters, veteran runners Max Painter and James Liles, posted top times this year of 16:56 and 17:54, respectively.

Cross Country 93 8 uzzards Feast On Roadrunners Hayles Smashes McCarrolVs Record On August 28, the MUS football team started down a long road that culminated in several shutout victories and two wins in the state playoffs. The Owls opened the year with a smashing game against Ridgeway. On the second play of the game, Ray Hayles dashed 76 yards off the sweep for a TD. In quick succession, the offense punched in three more touchdowns: a Thomas Hussey dive, a Will Jones reception, and a Jon Van Hoozer run. Leading 30-0 in the third quarter, Hayles again exploded 74 yards down the sidelines for yet another six points; the final score remained 37-0. Hayles finished the night with a pair of TD ' s and 243 yards rushing on only 1 1 attempts, breaking Andy McCarroll ' s single game record of 234 yards. Defensive coordinator Barry Ray commented on the defense ' s outstanding play: We changed the defensive alignment this year; obviously it ' s effective since we held the Roadrunners and Vinson Johnson to only 6 first down, no yards passing, and 169 yards total offense. Defensive leaders were Michael Skouteris (9 tackles), Andrew McDermott (9 tackles), Marc Gurley (6 tackles), and Jon Van Hoozers (6 tackles, 2 interceptions). For the next game, the Owls traveled to hostile Red Devil Stadium. Midway through the first quarter, Skouteris recovered a blocked punt in the endzone, giving MUS an early 7-0 lead. On their next possession, the Buzzards drove the length of the field, but a 97-yard Germantown interception return for a TD spoiled the drive. In the second quarter, the Devils marched 90 yards to score another TD, giving them a 14-7 halftime lead. Late in the third quarter, a MUS turnover deep in our own territory was quickly converted for a TD; the remainder of the game was scoreless (Germantown won 21- 7). Stratton, Van Hoozer, Skouteris, and McDermott, who all had over 12 tackles apiece, led the hard-hitting defense against the Devils. On a third down and 8 to go on the Harding 18, the defense prepares to fire off the line and shove the Lions even further back into their territory. Such aggressive defensive play held Harding to just 43 yards rushing and gave the Owl defense its second consecutive shutout. Seeing no hole anywhere near, Robert Ducklo breaks for the outside in hopes of eluding the ECS defenders. Robert rushed and squirmed his way for 1 touchdown and 180 yards on 42 attempts this year. 94 Sports Taking the ball off the pitch-sweep, Andrew McDermott searches upfield for a hole and a block during the 39-14 smashing of East in the first round of the state playoffs. Another one bites the dust: linebacker Michael Skouteris (33) and cornerback Preston Dellinger (80) wrap up Ridgeway runningback Vinson Johnson, who was thrown for a loss. Stifling the Ridgeway offense all night, the aggressive Owl defense shut out the Roadrunners and held them to just 6 first down and no yards passing. After destroying Catholic 36-0, Michael Skouteris and the rest of the team hoist Coach Rudolph in celebration of his 200th victory. Coach Rudolph ' s distinguished career has spanned 29 years, and he boasts a combined 205-95-5 record — a 68% winning percentage. While John Percer (44) hip-blocks an ECS lineman, Jon Van Hoozer drops back and dumps off a pass to one of his receivers. Completing 11 out of 36 passes for 236 yards, Jon occasionally spelled starting quarterback Thomas Hussey. Varsity Football 95 Dodging Catholic defenders left and right, Thomas Hussey scampers 5 yards for the touchdown. Against the Chargers, Thomas rushed for 39 yards on 10 attempts and hit paydirt twice. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide: this hapless Catholic runningback is gang-tackled by a host of Owls, including Alan Davis (75), Michael Skouteris (33), Andrew McDermott (21), Will Stratton, and Andy Girard. The swarming and aggressive Owl defense limited the Chargers to 10 yards passing, 3 first downs, and 77 yards total offense. Easily outdistancing the Harding players, Andrew McDermott looks for his blockers and a hole on this 22-yard punt return in the 31-0 shellacking of the Lions.

Brentwood quickly scored the first seven points. Just before the half, Ray Hayles darted 34 yards to paydirt and deadlocked the game. The third and most of the fourth quarter proved to be a defensive battle with neither side scoring. With just two minutes remaining, the Eagles recovered a fumble in the endzone to go ahead 14-7. While the crowd roared with enthusiasm, Hussey and company led an amazing offensive drive deep into Eagle territory. With time running out, Hussey finally connected with a diving McArtor on fourth down for what seemed to be a TD, but the referee ruled McArtor out-of-bounds. Brentwood then gained possession, securing a 14-7 win. MUS opened district play against a strong ECS squad. Hussey quickly put the Buzzards ahead 6-0 on a 12-yard keeper. The Eagles retaliated with a 40 yard FG and a 75-yard fumble return for a TD to take a halftime lead of 10-6. During the half, Coach Alston motivated the team: ECS doesn ' t deserve to win — they ' re an inferior team; we ' re simply beating ourselves. The Owls stormed out of the locker room, scoring twice in the third quarter (once on a Hayles run and once on a Hussey dive). Skouteris administered the coup de grace when he returned an interception 30 yards for the final score, sealing the Eagles ' fate 26-10. The Buzzard racked up an astounding 393 yards total offense, while the Eagles were limited to a mere 76 yards. In the second game of district warfare, a complacent MUS squad squared off against Bolton, a newcomer to district 15- AA.

The outlook for next year is a very bright one indeed. In a futile attempt to run up the middle, the Milan running back is stuffed by Marc Gurley at the line of scrimmage. The defensive line, composed of Gurley, Chett Cross (68), Alan Davis (75), and Douglas Gayden (71), was strong all season and helped hold a powerful Milan offense to only 120 yards rushing. 1987 FOOTBALL STATS Rushing Hayles 1253 yds. 156 att. 8 TD ' s Percer 388 yds. 74 att. 3 TD ' s Hussey 249 yds. 89 att. 9 TD ' s Ducklo 180 yds.

Although they placed third in the district, all of the young Buzzards gained valuable experience through the course of the fall. In the opening game, the young Owls faced AAA powerhouse CBHS. Outnumbered by more than fifty players, the Owls found CBHS overwhelming. The Brothers went on to win the game 27-0. MUS ' s next opponent, another AAA team, was no easier. Trailing most of the game, the young Buzzards fought hard but they lost to Germantown 18-7 with Trevor Benitone scoring the only MUS touchdown. Dropping another close game to ECS, MUS then really began to work. Coach Cady remarked, After the ECS game, the team began to play together and really mature. Determination towards their first victory motivated the Owls in the Bolton game. The Frosh came out on top with an impressive 20-7 win. The enthusiasm carried over in a blowout victory over Bishop Byrne. The Freshman Owls scored 27 points to Byrne ' s 0. Defeanse was the key to both big wins. The team next faced a more formidable challenge of Collierville, with the Dragons taking the game 20- 7. The following game against Harding was little better. Both defenses dominated, and the team played tough, but it lost 7-0. In the season ' s finale against Briarcrest, the Frosh simply outplayed the Saints, winning 14-6. Eight members of the team made All Metro: Jimmy Harris, Jimmy Langston, Trey Watkins, Clay Maddox, Trevor Benitone, and Ben Gibson. Coach Cady concluded, We should get several good varsity players from this group. Getting into the Byrne backfield, Darrell Cobbins and Clay Maddox stick the helpless Red Knights quarterback. Excellent defense plays like this one helped stop Bishop Byrne cold. Down 13-7 to Collierville, Coach John Cady points out some of the mistakes of the first half and encourages the team to keep up the intensity for the second half.

Coaches Dan Griffin and Troy Benitone again masterminded a superb game plan, which included 65 plays and 10 different formations. In the opening game, the team coasted to an easy 30-6 victory over Westwood and then broke precedence by beating arch-rival Germantown 26- 6. Following that amazing win, MUS shut out Briarcrest, ECS, and St. Paul. Anchored by ends Matt Berg and Hal Roberts and linebacker Harry Sayle, the first string defense played brilliantly, with only one touchdown scored against them the entire season. The team overwhelmed the season ' s final two opponents with the offense scoring over thirty points per game. Quarterback Marc MacMillan, tailback Richard Collins, and wide receiver Jonathan McCrary compounded the strength of the offense, which, in several games, punted on the first down just to give their opponents a fighting chance. Thus, the baby Buzzards easily brought home the first place trophy in the YMCA League. Coach Griffin was extremely pleased with the team ' s performance and expects great things from this talented group. With massive force, Matt Berg (7) slams an ECS player into the ground as Tate Conrad (12) rushes up. Leaving the Germant own defense on the ground, quarterback Tate Conrad (12) regains his footing and continues his charge down the field. With captured attention, Coaches Griffin and Benitone watch the team execute a perfect play against the opponent ' s helpless defense. This season was Benitone ' s last.

The linksters, with only one returning senior, started the season off with a narrow 297-300 victory over a tough ECS squad. Solid performances came from sophomore Sellers Shy, who shot a team low two under par 69, and juniors Skipper Scott and Hank Holmes. After dropping their first loss to CBHS, the linksters went on a 6-0 tear. The Owls blew by Prep 308-422, then mauled Harding, a match in which Skipper Scott shot another 69. In quick succession, the team also destroyed Bishop Byrne, Catholic, Skyview, and SBEC by an average score of 304-326. Shy and Scott paced the team during this six game streak, while Greg Rhodes, Hank Holmes, and Chris Sullivan also shot extremely well. In the final two matches against Germantown and CBHS, the team, as Coach Askew described, showed our youth in these matches. Undaunted, the Buzzards marched into District play. The linksters took first place in the District by defeating Catholic in a thrilling sudden-death playoff. Both Scott and Rhodes led the team by shooting a 71 and 73 respectively. After the exciting win in the District, the Owls failed to qualify for the Regional tournament. At the conclusion of the season, Coach Askew remarked I knew that we would have stiff competition from Catholic and ECS. I was thrilled with the performance in winning the District.

P hy-d Gives Athletes Extra Edge Hard Work Pays Off During Season During the football season, the team practices long hours in preparation for its games; the same effort is also put into practicing for basketball, cross country, soccer, or any other sport at MUS. When the season is over, this intense training continues with physical development (Phy-D), which is a program designed by coaches to keep players in shape instead of allowing their abilities and muscles to atrophy. The Phy-D program began when the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) did not permit players in the off season to practice with their team or under a coach ' s supervision. In Phy-D, these players concentrate on individual improvement with such exercises as weight lifting, running, or aerobics. Many teams, such as track and soccer, have Phy-D before the season so that the members can further build their strength and endurance. Though Phy- D requires considerable effort by its participants, all the hard work reaps benefits during the regular season.

The cagers captured this 500th win for Coach Peters by beating Collierville 55-48 behind Kevin Ogilby ' s 16 points and Tommy Payne ' s and Fred Schaeffer ' s 12-point performances. When the team dropped three straight games to CBHS, Kirby, and Briarcrest, Coach Peters feared that the 500th victory was the only goal that the team had for the season. The Owls pulled together and squashed Bishop Byrne 87-62; Ogilby, Schaeffer, Greg Rhodes, Thomas Johnson, and Tommy Payne all scored in double figures as the Buzzards burned Byrne. With a record of 2-3, the team went on a 0-3 skid, dropping games to Ridgeway, CBHS, and Collierville. In all these contests, the Buzzards led going into the fourth quarter, but sloppy play ruined any chance of winning. The team ' s next big test came against the 15-0, state-ranked White Station Spartans; the Owls were determined that they would not be denied victory. Ogilby ' s game-high 29 points and Payne ' s sharp-shooting (8 of 8 from the charity stripe, 15 points total) placed the Owls to an electrifying 65-47 upset. Coach Peters commented that the win over White Station was one of the greatest in MUS history. During the Christmas break, MUS traveled to Carbondale, Illinois to play in the Illinois Holiday Invitational. After a tough loss to Carterville High School in the first round, the cagers rebounded by defeating Meridan and DuQuin high schools to take the consolation championship. Kevin Ogilby made the All-Tournament team, and Taylor Work made the All-Name team. Returning to Memphis, MUS began District play. Behind the leadership of captain Jason Peters, who had a team- high 21 steals and 216 assists for the season, the Owls won 12 out of their next 16 games. After destroying Catholic 80-46, the Buzzards defeated Bolton 75-68 behind Jon Van Hoozer ' s 16 points, Payne ' s 15, Ogilby ' s 14, and Rhodes ' 8 points and 8 rebounds. Dropping a close game to the Saints 57-54, the Owls then headed to ECS. With the game close in the third quarter, Chris Concee and Ogilby, who already had 17 points, were ejected for fighting. Reserve Taylor Work came off the bench, contributed 5 points, and grabbed several key rebounds. Van Hoozer ' s 17 points, along with Schaeffer ' s 9, compensated for Ogilby ' s early shower and helped gun the Eagles out of their nest 70-54.

At the end of January, the team ' s record fell to 6-9 after a loss to Catholic. But by outstanding teamwork, the Owls won ten of their final eleven games. Coach Mark Counce explained, The guys figured out how to play as a team, which was evident by the balanced scoring. They played toward their strengths, and everyone played well. Starting the season with a win over Collierville, the JV Owls, led by Andrew Crosby and Andy Cates, smashed Bishop Byrne in a 49-17 victory. Dropping a few games to AAA teams such as CBHS, the Owls did manage victories over Catholic, ECS, and Covington. Then things started turning around. Controlling the game from the start, the team beat Kirby 50- 41. After crushing Harding and Bolton, the Owls struggled with Briarcrest. Keeping close with the Saints throughout the game, the team played hard, with 21 points scored by Andrew Crosby, but were finally defeated. This was the Owls ' only loss of their final eleven games.

Using some of his fancier moves, Trent Allen penetrates inside the tough Devil man-to-man defense. Trent provided excellent leadership on the court throughout the season as point guard. Freshman Basketball 119 6 aby Buzzards Make Mincemeat of Opponents Post 20 Victories and Win Shelby League Championship Loaded with talent, size, and depth, Coach Guy Amsler ' s eighth grade basketball team posted an impressive 20-2 record including a strong second place showing in the Pendleton Holiday Invitational and the Shelby League Tournament Championship. The Baby Buzzards (with starters Richard Collins, Tate Conrad, Marc MacMillan, Spencer Clift, and Harry Sayle leading the onslaught) won their first six games including a hard fought 39-31 victory over Craigmont and a close 55-51 win against Pendleton. The Owls suffered their first loss in the finals of the Pendleton Invitational to the Frayser Rebels, a Junior Olympic team, in a nail- biter. After the game, Coach Amsler commented, Although we were unable to capture the Holiday Invitational Championship, I was EIGHTH GRADE BASKETBALL (20-2) St. Dominic Forfeit Craigmont 36-31 Pendleton Presbyterian 44-22 Briarcrest 60-24 PENDLETON HOLIDAY INVITATIONAL Thrifthaven Baptist 55-24 Ridgeway Baptist 59-29 Pendleton Presbyterian 55-51 Frayser Rebels 45-48 ECS 41-31 ECS 48-33 St. Louis (20T) 39-38 Craigmont 35-30 Skyview 48-15 Briarcrest 48-22 Harding 42-45 Harding 38-27 Skyview 49-21 Pendleton Presbyterian 45-30 Frayser Rebels 46-42 St. Dominic SHELBY LEAGUE 37-36 TOURNAMENT ECS 46-27 Harding (OT) 50-40 extremely pleased with the team ' s overall performance against such stiff competition. At the beginning of the new year, Marc MacMillan, a leading scorer and rebounder, suffered a broken foot; nevertheless, the O wls went on a 6-0 tear with exciting wins over Craigmont and St. Louis. After winning six straight games without MacMillan, Coach Amsler remarked, The team really came together to compensate for the loss of Marc. The Owls suffered their only other loss in the hands of a quick Harding team; this game was also lost during the last thirty seconds of play. In the next game, however, the Owls avenged their loss with a 45-42 victory over the Lions. Soon afterwards the Owls also beat the Frayser Rebels in another rematch, making up for both previous losses. In the game against the Rebels, Harry Sayle led the Owls, scoring 19 points and pulling down 8 rebounds. In the Shelby League Tournament, the Owls opened with an easy victory over ECS. The finals, however, saw the Owls down by six with two minutes left. The Owls got back into the game by forcing turnovers with a tough full-court press. Coming off the bench, forward Preston Miller tied the game with a clutch 15-foot baseline jumper. Carrying the momentum into overtime, the Owls stomped the Lions 50-40, winning the Championship. Coach Amsler concluded, If this group stays with the game and works hard, I expect good things from them when they reach the varsity level. After pulling down a strong offensive rebound, forward Spencer Clift puts the ball back up for a quick bucket in the 48-15 thrashing of Skyview. ■  ' ' PPB r B 1 I fli ' tS 120 Sports toll l p E ■ EIGHTH GRADE BASKETBALL: front row: Woodson Maher, Jered Bryan, Tate Conrad, Chris Kelly, Preston Miller, Richard Collins, Chuck Hamlett. second row: Coach Guy Amsler, Marc MacMillan, Matt Wilson, Harry Sayle, Tim Davis, John Sartelle, Spencer Clift.

The MUS wrestling team, led by- senior co-captains Robert Brode and Peter Goldmacher, had a disappointing season winning only 4 of 10 dual matches and placing no better than 4th in any of the tournaments. The lack of experienced wrestlers caused a frustrating season. The three juniors on the team, Eric Mandel, Marshall Evans, and Bryan Barksdale, performed well, but midway through the season, Mandel had to leave the team for medical reasons. Tou Vue Lee, Brad Bradford, Steve Mealor, Chris Beale, Trevor Benitone, and Jimmy Harris all had respectable seasons for first year varsity members. The regular season saw the Owls win four matches in a row against Melrose, Raleigh Egypt, Harding, and Briarcrest before losing a close one to Catholic. The Owls took it on the chin from the more experienced teams of Kirby, CBHS, Millington, Germantown, and Bishop Byrne but went into the District tournament at full strength. With Bryan Barksdale winning his weight class and Peter Goldmacher and Robert Brode finishing second in their classes, the team placed fourth overall. The entire team qualified to wrestle in the Regional tournament — a first for MUS. The wrestlers experienced tougher times in the region. Going into the regional tournament with ten wrestlers, only four Owls qualified for the State tournament in Chattanooga. At the Region, Barksdale and Brode placed second while Evans and Goldmacher came in third. Brode was the only one to win a match at the State, but he came up short in the end. With 8 returning starters, next season looks brighter.

The support of both of these spirit groups at twelve football games and more than twenty basketball games led to the twelfth man factor (as Coach Griffin always calls it) being decisive at many sporting events. 124 Divider A. T he long and winding road of Organizations takes us from the Nashville Model G.N. to the Close-CJp program in Washington D.C. to the Tennessee Youth Legislature. It carries us from the Student Council watermelon feast to the tunes of Holy Roman Em- pire (a band imported from far away Missouri) at the Football Homecoming dance to the hoopla of elections in the spring. This highway leads us from an edition of the Half-Hoot to an eighty- page deadline for The Owl in January. This path drives us from ci- ty chess championships to working at LeBonheur Children ' s Hospital to get one ' s Civic Service point to the yell leaders chanting Fleashna at the rowdy Milan football game. This road also steers us from working under a car hood in the Mechanic ' s Club to driving a car in the Low Riders Club. The involvement of the students in a myriad of clubs never strays from the long and winding road of Organizations. Organizations 125 Council Keeps Students Busy Under the leadership of President Ryan Riggs and the guidance of advisor Mr. Mike Deaderick, the Student Council continued the tradition of excellence established in previous years. Throughout the year, the support of the student body set record levels of attendance at dances and other Council activities. Even though the car washes and garage sale over the summer were not quite as profitable as in years past, the Council started the year with ample funds to finance its schedule. After the Ridgeway game, the Council hosted the Victory Dance. This dance established the Council as a driving force behind many student activities. A few weeks later under sunny skies, the Fall Fest gave students another opportunity to socialize. The events of the Fest included the ever- popular volleyball tournament, a kissing booth, live music, and a co-ed wrestling match with the cheerleaders. The Fest required plenty of work, commented Ryan Riggs, but it was well worth all the effort to see so many students having such a good time. Football Homecoming Week highlighted a busy fall. After such zany days as Shade and Lid Day and Grub Day, the week culminated with the crowning of Jennifer McCormick as Queen and the playing of Holy Roman Empire at the dance. Basketball Homecoming Week and Student-Faculty Dutch Treat Dinners helped the Council enter the spring with a full head of steam. The ten dollars that was charged for admission to the Spring Formal enabled the Council to get the Penguins, who strummed tunes that kept students dancing until the wee hours. In short, because the Council was extremely organized, all of its activities went off without a hitch and were enjoyable for all students. During Back-lo-School Day for parents, Scott McArtor tells Mrs. McArtor where his U.S. Military History class is located. Trying to promote participation, Vice President Billy Palmer threatens to take off the rest of his clothes if no one attends the Victory Dance.

The system gives us a freedom which we seldom think about. If we do reflect on the atmosphere we have here, it doesn ' t take long to appreciate the effects of the Honor System. Even without attending another school we can easily appreciate the understood trust and security that exists at MUS Students are able to make their environment what they want it to be. Each student ' s support is required for the system to work. Without this support, standards would be lowered and the school ' s intangible aura would be changed. To fully appreciate the Honor System takes a little bit of perception. We all are capable of that perception if we just take a minute to let it become clear. Hopefully we take that minute early on, so we can truly enjoy the Honor System while we are at MUS Kevin Tilley President After eating lunch one day, Eben Garnett reaches down to pick up his Literature books.

Proofreading one of the annual ' s 272 pages after school, advisors Mrs. Crippen and Dr. Harkins and Editor-in-Chief Jeff Lewis laugh at a caption of the picture. ST I 130 Organizations T rt OOlE A Long And Winding Road The Long and Winding Road — a song itle taken from the Beatles ' Let It Be album — was chosen as the theme for the 1988 Jwl; and a long and winding road its Mroduction turned out to be. Under the eadership of Editor-in-Chief Jeff Lewis, vork started on the annual at the beginning f the summer and continued all the way hrough to March. The daily six hours of ffort that editors put in over some forty lays during these months paid handsome lividends; never was production behind chedule by more than ten pages on any leadline. For the ' 88 editors there were five lectic deadlines between October 25 and ' ebruary 24. Meeting them was as hallenging as it was fulfilling. For staff members the key change from trevious years was the replacement of Mr. ' His Haguewood as annual advisor by Dr. ohn Harkins and Mrs. Barbara Crippen. Ais. Crippen ' s five years of experience with earbooks at another school and Dr. larkins experience with picture book ublication proved helpful. They chose to plit their duties, with Mrs. Crippen doing aost of the copy editing and proofreading and Dr. Harkins helping with the day-to-day production affairs. We mainly help correct mechanics, give the staff access to school facilities, exercise a mild censorship, keep peace in the ' family, ' and stay out of the way, said Dr. Harkins. The students do virtually all of the planning and work. It ' s their book. Tough-managing Jeff Lewis commented on the change, It ' s really spooky working with new advisors, but it was a very smooth transition. However, I really miss Mr. Haguewood and his wealth of experience. After sixteen years of dedicated service to the Owi, though, he felt that he needed a break. Between September and March our committed group of editors and staff assembled a 272-page book from one end to the other. Chief editor Lewis spent a prodigious amount of time helping and encouraging other editors, and managing and organizing the book, not to mention completing his own pages. Among the editors who did a herculean job in putting the annual together were Prasad Jallepalli (Associate and Seniors), Chris Hess (Photography), Bruce Campbell (Darkroom), Lester Lee (Student Life), Rajeev Memula (Sports), Weber Chuang (Sports), Manning Weir (Underclassmen), and Bobby Kuo (Underclassmen). Other editors who contributed strongly included Marc Kesselman (Academics), David Buchalter (Organizations), Trey Lindseth (Organizations), Gilbert Strode (Faculty), and Michael Austin (Index). Ads Editor Wren Greene also did a stupendous job, for under his leadership $8000 worth of advertising ; was sold, Jeff Lewis summed up the long and winding road of the 1988 Owl saying It was so much more work than I anticipated when I accepted the editor ' s job last April, but we were blessed with a talented group of hard workers who always came through. Even nagging and ribbing from the senior class about the annual ' s delivery date proved a plus, for it helped motivate us to meet our deadlines so the book would be delivered in May. In short, it has been a long and winding road in making this annual, but it ' s a good book.

Yearbook 131 % (Prof a Boot The Owl ' s Hoot was better than ever this year. Editor Andrew McDermott made certain changes in the paper to make it more enjoyable and readable: I tried to improve the quality of the paper by adding columns like Collegiate Corner and Movie Madness and by improving the caliber of the writing through the use of word processors for editing. But the paper was a success as a result of consistent hard work by both editors and staff. Business editor Gary Wunderlich sold the ads that made the paper possible; the other editors sacrificed entire weekends to prepare copy for printing; and the staff (which included as many as forty students for each issue) turned in almost all of its articles on time and ready for the editors. New columns include Teacher Feature — which presented in-depth reports on faculty members — and Collegiate Corner — reports from MUS alumni on the colleges they attend. Features on Ramesses, the Homecoming Court, the MUS A. P. program, and on seventh graders ' adjustment to MUS were highlighted this year. Other popular sections included Sports with Fred Schaeffer, and the ever popular MUSic section, which featured six different writers so that a variety of musical tastes was represented. Once again the spring was brought in by the April Fool ' s Issue, a humorous look at MUS. This year the Owl ' s Hoot staff has maintained previous staffs ' high standards by keeping the students amused and well informed. Examining the next issue of the Owl ' s Hoot, editor Andrew McDermott and Mr. Thompson proofread the final copy.

Newspaper 133 A Great Magazine With a Different Look Under the expert guidance of advisor Mr. Ellis Haguewood, David Buchalter and many contributing editors — Peter Molettiere, Justin Mitchell, Geoffrey Hirsch, Bill Smith, Paul Royal, Prasad Jallepalli, Mark Fogelman, Michael Ford, Will Harris, Michael Wexler, Rob Winfrey, and Billy Palmer — published the MUSe in early May. The magazine emphasized four creative forms of art: poetry, prose, creative essays, and black and white photography and art. Our goal was to better last year ' s magazine, said editor David Buchalter. Last year ' s MUSe won first place in Columbia University ' s Scholastic Press Association competition. To achieve this goal, the MUSe editors began collecting entries in the fall, and in January began meeting on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings to lay out the magazine. To drum up even more interest, fifty dollar prizes were awarded to the best entry in each of the four categories. In addition to the excellent stories, poems, artwork, and photography that was received, the MUSe presented a new look in that creative essays were featured for the first time and more professional layouts were used. Until we sat down with the printer, we did not realize how easy it was to set copy in two or three columns, box poems, or add ' teasers ' proclaimed Mr. Haguewood. Another new idea was the author biographies featured at the end of the magazine. The MUSe reflects hard work, creativity, ingenuity, and, most of all, the free expression. Working laboriously on a Friday afternoon during a seventh period, advisor Mr. Ellis Haguewood and editor David Buchalter both point out the merits of a piece of artwork they are looking over.

From the Tiber to the Seine The Latin Club, headed by Brian Barksdale, was geared up for many activities this year. The foremost activity of the club is the annual State Convention, held this year in Middle Tennessee. The club participated in several Latin competitions, such as the Mid-South Latin Tournament, held at Memphis State, and the National Latin Exam, in which MUS excels every year. In addition to these tests, the Latin Club holds many pizza parties, a Christmas party, and a Latin banquet, to which everyone goes dressed in a toga. The most important and exciting event for the French Club was the week-long trip to France over Spring Break. While on this trip, the students visit the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame in Paris, and Jim Morrison ' s grave. President Brian Webber planned several activities to sample French culture. The Latin Club makes plans to place in most competitions and tests under the leadership of Prasad and Satish Jallepalli, alias The Latin Studs.

The committee had a banner year, giving students the opportunity to participate in five main projects which ran every other weekend: Habitat for Humanity, MIFA Food Bank, Le Bonheur Hospital visitation, Special Cargo, and Boys ' Club. 1987 was a transition year for chairman Mark Fogelman, who transformed the club into a committee which runs all the events and regulates the school ' s community service requirement. Each student must earn at least one civic service point per semester. The changes resulted in a greater student involvement. Fogelman ' s committee of sixteen students was led by Vice-Chairman Andy Cates, Secretary Thomas Hussey, and Treasurer Mark Griffin. The committee ' s efforts received city-wide coverage, including a feature article in The Memphis Commercial Appeal. In addition to the five main projects, the committee also held a Special Olympics Basketball Tournament, stuffed Christmas food baskets, and was awarded first prize for running the most successful United Way Student Campaign in the city. The annual Charity Talent Show in February raised over $3000 for needy organizations across the city. Chairman Mark Fogelman stated, This has been a very successful year in which we have accomplished more that we thought we could. I give the credit to the committee as a whole. We have worked very hard and have received the results we strove for. Under the auspices of Coaches Reggie Richte r, Tommy Payne, and Jason Peters, the children from the Boys ' Club go four-on-four.

Under the leadership of chairman Philip McCaull, faculty advisor Mr. Michael Deaderick, and executives Prasad Jallepalli, Jeff Lewis, Marc Kesselman, Ryan Riggs, Eric Mandel, and David Willmolt, the Government Club participated in three politically-oriented events during the school year. At the end of last April, a delegation of thirty students traveled to Nashville for the Tennessee Youth Legislature. Craig Nadel served as the Youth Governor, a position to which he had been elected the year before. He was the third successive governor from MUS; however, his heir apparent, Philip McCaull, was the victim of a Nashville Jackson conspiracy. Marc Kesselman, running for speaker pro tempore of the House, also fell victim to this same block. The rest of the MUS participants dominated the debate in both the House and Senate, and they won a number of awards for their debating. The following November, 28 MUS ' ers not only gained invaluable experience in international politics but also became very familiar with stale liability laws when they traveled to the Nashville Model UN. During the three-day session at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Vice President Prasad Jallepalli presided over the debate as one of his duties. All the MUS delegations — Vietnam, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Mozambique, Belgium, and Portugal — fared extremely well in all debate!. On February 5-7, more than 50 people applied their forensic skills at the Mid South Model UN. The United Kingdom, one of MUS ' s assigned countries, won six out of eight debating awards, including the best delegation award. All the other delegations were also extremely potent in debate, as MUS dominated (once again) this UN. In short, MUS students proved to be the best debaters from one end of the stale to the other.

Government Club 139 Pictures, Proofs, and Videos The three visual media organizations, photography, dark room and CCTV, were extremely active this year. Members of the photography staff, under Chris Hess ' s supervision, could be seen at virtually every sporting event, and at academic and social activities. Other times, photographers would casually stroll into a classroom or the library, trying to capture different aspects of students on film. Behind the scenes, Bruce Campbell ' s darkroom staff develops thousands of pictures in total darkness. Once the pictures have been taken, it is up to the darkroom staff to print and perfect the pictures. Those movies such as Great Expectations and Romeo and Juliet which you sleep through in class, are aired by the select CCTV staff under Keith Woodward. Productions such as Homecoming Hotseat are masterfully filmed and edited by the CCTV staff. Special effects (the magical appearing and disappearing of trie homecoming court, for example) can be created using the modern facilities of CCTV. Overall, the time and patience put into these productions is well worth the effort.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is an organization which strives to combine competitive athletics with sound moral teachings. The group, under the leadership of Dan McEwan and counselors Mark Counce and John Cady, enjoyed monthly breakfasts featuring John Cady ' s famous biscuits. Several guest speakers, such as Memphis State ' s John Wilfong and MUS alumnus Judd Peters, gave inspirational talks to the athletes encouraging them in the Christian faith. President Dan McEwan planned an eventful Saturday in the spring with a cookout and swimming. The organization attempted above all to create a powerful unity among the athletes and to emphasize that there is more than just winning involved in athletics. Having his title of Biscuit Making Champion of the Free World challenged, Coach John Cady painstakingly prepares another bowl of biscuit batter in hopes of successfully defending his crown.

MUS students who excel in the classroom, in extracurricular activities, and in the community do not go unnoticed. Five honorary societies — Cum Laude, the National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Mu Alpha Theta, and the Red and Blue society — induct only the most accomplished students. Cum Laude admits those students who possess a grade point average of at least 85. Furthermore, the society inducts only those who adhere to its motto of Excellence, Justice, and Honor. The requirements for induction into the National Honor Society are the four cornerstones of scholarship, character, service and leadership. Well-rounded students whose work and deeds exemplify the model MUS student become members of this distinguished society. Inductees of Quill and Scroll display journalistic talent, commitment, and innovation concerning the school ' s three major publications: The Owl, The Owl ' s Hoof, or the MUSe. Members work many long hours on their respective publications to display the spirit of MUS. Mu Alpha Theta bases its membership on student skill, interest, and high grade point average in mathematics. The Red and Blue Society inducts those Seniors whose school service and leadership help put MUS a step above the rest. Members are accepted with the consensus of the faculty and the headmaster, Mr. Thorn. Capitalizing on (he saying, to the victors go the spoils, Kevin Tilley devours his fifth danish and third cup of orange juice al the National Honor Society reception.

Here We Go BUZZARDS! Let ' s get a little bit rowdy; R-O-W- D-Y! could be heard throughout the stands as the MUS football team, encouraged by devoted fans, had another successful year. The twelfth man played a major role in this year ' s winning season, as the most zealous and rowdy crowd support in years psyched up the football team all the way to the state quarterfinals. (So important were the fans that they may have been a deciding factor in the Covington and Milan games). The Pep Band ' s music, particularly favorites Born To Be Wild and Louie, Louie, boosted students ' cheers at pep rallies and games and further inspired the crowd. The cheerleaders, headed by Elizabeth Libby, and the yell leaders, captained by Dabney Collier, worked assiduously to excite the filled bleachers. Waving red and blue bandanas, the 1987-88 student body was enthusiastic, loud, and definitely ROWDY. During the Ridgeway game the pep band belts out its rendition of Born to Be Wild. Monica Shea, Amy Philipy, and Ragan Crawford show off their ultra-brite smiles at the Brentwood game. 145 The Great Outdoors Besides having an irrepressible quest for knowledge, students have an insatiable love for the outdoors, including skiing or biking, playing volleyball or ultimate frisbee. No matter the interest, there is an outdoors club to satisfy each student ' s caprice. Among the most active of these clubs is the Cycling Club, which as member Peter Goldmacher says, gives me a good excuse to go cycling with friends, and there ' s nothing like a good ride to put a little life back into ya. The Ski Club with president Scott McArtor embarked upon its annual spring break sojourn to the snowy slopes of Breckenridge, Colorado. Fun was had by all, both on and off the slopes. The Outdoors Club, with presidents Billy Palmer and Jay Harden, have dedicated themselves to the pure beauty of the pristine wilderness. Says Harden, When we hit those woods, we dern near go nuts. Pat Hopper ' s Volleyball Club just likes to get out and play some ball, while Robert Sharp ' s Ultimate Frisbee Club, along with faculty advisor Pete Bowman, enjoys throwing that plastic disk around. According to Low Rider ' s member Buck Dunavant, The club had a lot of fun all year riding low. All these clubs represent the fervent desire in MUS students to get outside and have some wholesome fun.

Outdoors Clubs 147 Checkmate! State Chess Tourney Held At MUS This year MUS had the great honor of hosting the Tennessee State Scholastic Chess Tournament. Over 200 students from grades three through twelve spent March 5 and 6 playing chess matches that could last up to three hours. MUS students took many awards in the Novice, Junior High, and High School level sections. Overall, MUS ' s high school team placed third to the delight of Mrs. Alice F ranceschetti, the Chess Club adviser. Things have gone smoothly because we have so many helpful parents, says Coach Fran. The MUS Chess Club has come a long way since it was founded in 1984. Summoning every iota of mental energy, Martel King fronts a new offensive at the State Chess Tournament held at MUS.

Fun and Games MUS fosters an atmosphere that encourages a variety of clubs for its diverse students. Always among MUS ' s most popular clubs are the games clubs. The Pick the Winners Club and Professional Prognosticators Club, perennial favorites, take pride in their predictions of various sporting events. These oddsmakers guess the outcomes of just about any — and all — matchups. The Pro Wrestling Club, with president Jon Van Hoozer and faculty adviser Coach Steve Leuze, enjoys the high-excitement world of professional wrestling. Says Van Hoozer, We like to practice applying holds on each other. The Billiards Club, with president Robert Sharp and faculty adviser Mr. Peter Bowman, enjoys racking ' em up and putting ' em away. Sharp says about his club, Why struggle when you can learn from the best? All these games clubs provide hours of pleasure and excitement for all their members.

Games Clubs 149 Variety Clubs for Various People Among the vast number of clubs at MUS, there are always some that do not fit into any particular category: the variety clubs. The Math Club, with president Fred Schaeffer and faculty advisor Mrs. Beth Edmondson, is dedicated to the pursuit of mathematical knowledge. Says Schaeffer, By starting the Math Club, I thought I could further my knowledge of the intricacies of Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, and the like. The Young Male Entrepreneurial Club and the Young Businessmen ' s Club are interested in that all- encompassing entity: money. Eben Garnett, president of the Young Businessmen ' s Club says, We hope to bring out the closet capitalist in us all. The Auto Mechanics Club, with president Patrick Gilmore and faculty advisor Mr. Tom Brown, enjoys taking apart cars and seeing if they can put them back together. Strangely enough, it has been noted that there are never any cars parked within 100 yards of the Auto Mechanic ' s shed. The U-Club, with president Scott McArtor and faculty advisor Mr. Michael Deaderick, is an honorary club for the lettermen in all sports. In summary, MUS ' s variety clubs provide a source of enjoyment for their members.

Variety Clubs 151 Lower Schoolers Get Active, Stay Active By eagerly participating in the variety of clubs open to them, Lower School students begin very early to feel a sense of responsibility and independence. The Student Council provided several students with the opportunity to exercise leadership and to gain a respect for student government. Under the leadership of President K. C. Home, the Student Council successfully raised enough money to fund the seventh-and-eighth grade dance and to give several hundred dollars to St. Jude. The Junior Beta Club, which recognizes superior academic achievement, held two inductions — one each semester — to honor outstanding students. The Half Hoot staff, under the leadership of editor Alan Florendo, produced several exceptional and informative Lower School newspapers. The Latin Club met several times a month. During the second semester, under the direction of Mrs. Betty Jo lliggs and Mr. Wayne Duff, the Latin Club members prep ared extensively for the Stale Latin Tournament. The culmination of a successful year was the Latin Banquet, where awards were given and much fun was had. Finally, the Pick-lhe-Winners Club gave many a Lower Schooler the chance to prognosticate during football and basketball season.

' Lower School 153 Unable to control its enthusiasm, the Senior Class storms the chapel stage during the traditional Get Up, Get Op, Get Up, Wooo! cheer at the Football Homecoming pep rally. Such senior spirit helped bolster the student body ' s morale throughout the lengthy school year and furnished the impetus for the tremendous crowd support at all sporting events. T M i he long and winding road of People takes us from a seventh grader ' s confusion on the first day of school all the way to Gradua- tion for the Seniors on May 15. This path carries us from the hot and steamy atmosphere of the Lower School dance to a ninth grader ' s first Student Council dance to the thrill of the Spring For- mal. This road steers us from a Lower School assembly (every Tuesday and Thursday) to buying class rings in the junior year to choosing the right college during the senior year. It also leads us from carousing behind the stands at Hull-Dobbs Field to cheer- ing the football team to victory from the always-rowdy stu- dent seating (well, standing) section. And this highway drives us from soaking some teachers in the dunk tank at the Fall Fest to chatting with Mr. Deaderick in his office to laughing with the faculty at the Dutch Treat Dinners. In short, because of the interaction bet- ween the students and faculty, the en- thusiasm never departs from the long and winding road of People.

A DUCK IN BEIJING Last summer, from the 8th to the 29th of June, Mr. Jerrold Omundson journeyed to the People ' s Republic of China as a delegate of a Citizens ' Ambassador Program sponsored by People-to-People International. Invited to China by the Chinese Administrator of Education, the delegation was composed of college and high school educators from seventeen U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. Since Chinese schools meet until noon on Monday through Saturday, the group spent afternoons and Sundays visiting factories, citizens ' homes, local political organizations, and historical sites. These sites included the Great Wall, temples, and the Forbidden City. Mr. Omundson reports that days were spent visiting colleges, universities, and number-one high schools ; talking with professors, administrators, teachers, and students; and discussing aspects of teaching science and exchanging ideas with the Chinese. While visiting a Chinese high school, Mr. Jerrold Omundson poses for a picture with the principal, the vice-principal, and two seniors who acted as translators. Faculty 157 FACULTY )en , Economics.

I Students Get IBMs Over the summer, Mr. Tom Brown persuaded the school to acquire ten new IBM MODEL 25 computers. These new computers, for use in classes such as A.P. Computer Science, operate at speeds 1,000 times that of the Apples that they replaced. The Apples were antiques as far as computers go, said Mr. Brown, who can now teach Pascal instead of BASIC. Since MUS is a college Ereparatory school, I switched to Pascal ecause colleges are using Pascal. When asked if he thought it challenging to create a whole new curriculum for his classes, Mr. Brown stated, It ' s like being a new teacher every year. I am stimulated and challenged. I like keeping up. Mentally preparing to hack his way through the jungle of bits and bytes, Mr. Brown is shocked to discover that the centerfold of Computer World is missing.

OFFICE STAFF GETS NEW IBMS Until last year the Upper School secretaries had to do all of their paperwork with the typewriters and store all of their records in space-consuming file cabinets. Last year Miss Mary Nell Easum and Mrs. Betty Edwards both received Apple He computers. This year Mr. Leigh MacQueen pushed through another step in the office automation process by ordering 5 new IBM PS2 MODEL 50 computers. The new machines are replacing the extremely slow Apples, which were designed for home use rather than the fast- paced world of modern secondary education. Although the new computers have greatly increased office efficiency, the secretaries still don ' t have any more time to relax. Even now that we have the IBMs we don ' t have time to take it easy, remarked Mrs. Edwards. Now we have additional duties, since ' we have tools to do them. Old meets new. Miss Mary Nell Easum ' s old Apple lie gets pushed aside to make room for her new IBM. Even though it appears that this picture is being staged, it is not. The screen looks blank because of the glare created by the office lights. 162 Staff FACULTY Just one of Captain Davis ' many duties is fixing outdoor water faucets, such as this one, so that athletic fields may be watered or so that athletes may get a drink of water.

' Along the long and winding road of Memphis University School have we, the class of 1988, journeyed together. Through it all, from seventh-grade orientation to senior graduation, from our late-night study sessions to our late- night weekend parties, and from a disheartening loss to Brentwood to a triumph over Austin-East, the senior class has been solidly unified. The paths of seniors in the class of ' 88 include outstanding accomplishments in all phases of achievement, including numerous National Merit Fi- nalists, TSSAA All-State nominees, Dean ' s Scholars, a business entrepreneur, a top Memphis Symphony mu- sician, and a national Latin champion. A class of leaders and followers, of thinkers and doers, of movers and shak- srs, the class of 1988 — this close-knit graduating class of J2 MUS seniors — has etched its presence indelibly into le ever-continuing saga of MUS. This will be a class that arever will be remembered — the Memphis University School Class of 1988. Leadership is an important attribute of any senior class; lere Student Council president Ryan Riggs dismisses me of many Friday morning chapel programs as Mr. imaraderie exemplified, seniors Howard Cleveland and Tommy Garner pose for a passing photographer on their out to lunch. ice Emerson Campbell III Jill and Scroll 11: Yearbook Staff 11. 12.

Jeff Lewis and Prasad Jallepalli utilize their senior privileges at McDonald ' s one Wednesday afternoon. 170 Every Senior Privilege is a Hey, where are you going to lunch? This penetrating question is heard, at some point, by every senior at MUS. Whether McDonalds, Krystal, Danvers, Subway, or the Racquet Club, the choice is up to the senior, who may go out to lunch once a week during the first semester and twice a week during the second semester. No matter what the choice, seniors must sign out and in from 12:00 noon to 1:15 if they go out to lunch. The out-to-lunch privileges provide the senior with an alternative to the usual Dobbsian fare and allow him to enjoy tastier possibilities than ' monster dogs ' and ' spuddles. ' Class cuts are also exercised frequently by most seniors, who have the option of cutting each class (with the teacher ' s permission, of course) up to three times each semester. As one senior phrased it, taking class cuts lets you put ' a little weekend in your week! ' But what do most seniors do with a class cut? Well, you could always kick back in the lounge, or go out to lunch, or study for the test next period . . . no? ... oh well, certainly seniors won ' t have any difficulty finding something to do to keep their attention occupied . . . until the next class of course. Senior Trey Lindseth, having a free period before lunch to kill, signs out at 12:00 to eat out today.

Seniors 171 UNIVERSITY ST. For years the senior has been for to seek information about prospective colleges from various sources. How- ever, this year ' s senior class has ben- efited from the addition of a college reference room in the Hyde Library. College viewbooks, course guides, and a videodisc information series have been made available this year. Called College USA, the videoguide contains information on hundreds of colleges, including well-known schools like Tulane and Vanderbilt as well as many lesser-known colleges which also have much to offer. On each video tour College USA shows seniors a slice of campus life. As one senior remarked, The video let me look at a lo t of schools I didn ' t think of before but which now are definite pos- sibilities. All in all, the college reference room and videodisc college guides now seniors even more options on the 1 and winding road to college. Checking out his 378th choice university McArtor laughs at the cockroach mascot o Podunk 13 ' . while a smug Chris Sullivan watches our photographer.

Senior One of the practices associated with the senior class, the senior slump, is the annual tendency of seniors to ease up in the second semester, as these grades don ' t count for college. As a result, seniors in the past have given to the slump, emphasizing socializing, getting lower grades, and alienating thejnselves from both faculty and fellow students. This year, however, the administration formed a slump committee that was designed, in the words of Mr. Curtis Schmitt, its chairman, to examine the slump phenomenon and to propose some solutions. In addition, the senior class also gathered to discuss the slump problem. Lastly, the Big Brother program was reactivated to fortify ties between seniors and underclassmen. The problem of the senior slump is complicated; addressing it has taken effort which the class of ' 88 has been more than willing to give. Be ore the slump: David Johnson is the model of the first semester super-senior ; allhough faced with the horrors of the application process, he nevertheless gives the schoolwork 100% — but ufter the first semester is over (see next page for an example) . . . m jMIl H 174 Seniors David Scott McCollough Dean ' s List 9, 11, 12; Cum Laude 11, 12; Newspaper Staff 12; Photography Staff 12; CCTV Staff 12; Video Yearbook Staff 12; Basketball 9, 10; Baseball 9, 10, 11, 12; Cross Country Manager 11; Latin Club 11; Doors Club 12.

Seniors 175 SENIOR SOCIAL LIFE What does an average MUS senior do on the weekends? Does he hang out at the Channel 3 Drive or at McDonald ' s? Does he attend Rat Pack rallies or have his mom drive him on dates? Heck NO!! You can find MUS ' ers dropping the eight ball or painting the night red and blue. You might find them at Lafayette ' s Corner, Beale Street, Front Street, Back Street, or any other street where excitement can be found. Whatever the adventure may be, you can bet your . . . er, you can count on the fact that an MUS senior will be right in the middle of it. After all . . . All work and no play makes Jack a duJJ boy . . . and not much like a MUS senior! ' 11 21 31 Aaaay! ' . . . .

No matter what the occasion, the MILS, senior is the perfect gentleman; he is always ready for both work and play. When there are term papers due, Science Bowls and Model U.N. ' s to research for, or newspaper deadlines to meet, you can be certain that the senior not only leads the underclassmen who depend on him but also is the first to roll up his sleeves and get the job done. But the same senior, after giving of his time, attention, effort (and sometimes blood), is also first to get from the weekend all the gusto he can: no matter whether he has a date with a girl or just a date with a duck and a hunting rifle; he is still always hard at work and hard at play. Get fired up . . . hey, hey, hey ' . : The senior section, grubbed up for Grub Day during Football Homecoming Week, leads the cheers during Friday ' s pep rally. Taking a moment to enjoy the restaurant ' s ambiance, Jon Van Hoozer and Fred Schaeffer savor a pre-game meal during the Owls ' appearance in the Carbondale basketball tournament. Seniors 179 Seniors are on the Ball! In the course of this year, the seniors have shown themselves to be good sports time and time again. From the annual Turkey Bowl in the fall to the Senior-Faculty basketball game, to the wheelchair basketball game against the River City Rollers, the senior class has demonstrated that we are indeed always on the ball. Early in the year, the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl caught the energetic but disunited seniors unaware; when the dust cleared the faculty emerged the winner 13-0, with a spectacular dive by Mr. Bill Matthews for a TD pass completion. But the seniors came back with a vengeance during the winter basketball matchup. Despite a foul-happy Coach Alston, the faculty showed that they didn ' t have the right stuff, losing 27-26 to the seniors, led by Brian Brown Sugar Mallory; in one of the most physical games ever, the seniors showed that they had the muscle. Yet Coach Ray went a long way in aiding the senior victory — his perfect 100% miss ratio was the highest on either team! In the wheelchair basketball game with the River City Rollers, the seniors proved that they could hold their own, winning 78-77 (although the seniors were spotted thirty points each half). But win or lose, the event showed that seniors are good sports, topping off a successful Charity Week and providing a lot of fun for those seniors who played and MUS ' ers as a whole. Putting up an airball, Robert Knapp shoots — and misses — in the wheelchair basketball garni against the River City Rollers STOP The Class of ' 88 End School Speed Limit In a year the long and winding road of seniordom has come to a quick and imposing end before us; and the landmark of graduation, that spring event loolced forward to for months now in eager anticipation, has come . . . and gone. In six years at MUS, the class of 1988 has stuck together on the way to that day in May for which we were, for the last time, the Senior Class. From the first tentative steps on the campus around the Hull Lower School on Orientation Day, to the joys and pains of rollerhalls, Hollywood, and cuisine a la Lenti, from study halls to free periods . . . and back to study halls (now called S 3 ), to the Honor System, the pledge and no locks on lockers .... From the sights of state championship football, Latin certqmen teams, Model U.N. and Youth Legislature delegations, and more, to the day-to-day suc- cesses of getting the A in Calculus, acting in The Music Man, making the yearbook deadline, and still having time for socializing on the weekend the senior has a storehouse of memories of ol ' 6191 Park Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee 38119 . . . memories to carry with him to places as different as there are seniors to go there. Now, turning towards the luminous image of college, both engaging and not a little frightening, we seniors embark on yet another path outward and — we hope — upward. We know not what lies ahead of us, we authors of our own stories, we craftsmen of our own futures; but we can take comfort in the fact that the past six years of MUS have both nurtured and strengthened us to be prepared for the long and winding road ahead and given us something to last us a lifetime: My mother prays now, she says, that I may learn in my own life and away from home and friends what the heart is and what it feels. Amen. So be it. Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race. Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead. — James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Leaping for the jumper, senior Chris Sullivan sinks two over the head of a confused Coach Amsler as Coach Counce and Coach Ray watch. 180 Seniors Robert Hill Winfrey Transferred 11; MUSe Staff 11, 12; Video Yearbook Staff 12; Soccer 11, Captain 12.

First, in the fall, these hapless students take the PSAT, an indication of how well one might do on the real test: the SAT. Depending on whether they do well, Juniors are besieged with letters from such fine institutions as Deep Springs, New Mexico Institute of Technology, and even Bob Jones University. In the spring. Juniors begin the endless odyssey of taking standardized tests: ACT, SAT, and ACH. Students give up several Saturday mornings to take these fun tests in order to see who will go to Dartmouth and who will go to Ole Miss. Even though this drudgery never seems to end, the bright ray of college is just a short time away. Considering all o his college choices, Lester Lee searches through the College Catalog table in hopes of finding a college suitable to his needs.

During an organizational period, all the juniors are herded into the chapel to hear Mr. Kearney tell them why they should purchase a Balfour ring. After being convinced to spend their money freely, the students are then given a package which helps them to decide which ring is right for them. Although a few students still buy the traditional gold or silver rings, these are increasingly becoming more expensive, and most opt for the cheaper rings, made from space-age metals such as Quasar Plus, Ceiestrium, or Golden Saddle.

Mr. and Mrs. Pitner each take turns teaching a class of more than 160 students from around Memphis. Realistic movies such as Signal 30 and visits from paramedics, a state trooper, and a paraplegic helped demonstrate the realities of unsafe driving to students, while an insurance agent illustrated the financial responsibilities that come with driving. After passing two written exams, students were required to complete 5 hours of actual street driving and two hours of range driving in order to receive credit. While Gene Horner listens attentively, Mr. Shannon Pitner calls out the schedule for the last week of drivers ' ed. 190 Underclassmen SOPHOMORES Amazed at William Gotten ' s herculean strength, Jonathan Weinberg not only watches Gotten ' s thirtieth repetition but also is captivated by his colorful shirt.

The PSAT, or Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test is, as the name states, a pre-SAT test. It prepares students for the later big tests: the SAT, the ACT, and the ACH. When the students become juniors and take the test again, it will decide whether they qualify for the National Merit Scholarship, a prestigious award given to academically talented U.S. high school students. Although the PSAT may not count this time, those students who score well enough are sent information from colleges that are looking for prospective students. Even though most students gripe about paying for a test they don ' t want to take in the first place, the PSAT is an essential stepping stone for those who wish to continue their education after high school.

Students Take Presidential Fitness Test At the beginning of the new school year, Coach Bobby Alston announced a new P.E. program for grades nine through eleven. Once every quarter, students in P.E. take the Presidential Physical Fitness Test, consisting of the mile run, number of pull-ups per minute, number of sit-ups per minute, the sit-and-reach stretch test, and the fifty-yard dash. Each score is ranked according to national norms, and then all the percentiles are averaged together. Those students who average at or above the eighty-fifth percentile qualify for the The agony showing on his strained face, Douglas Ray attempts to break his personal best record by bench pressing a whopping twenty pounds.

No more getting pushed around, since he ' s now a lord of the Lower School. After more than a year and a half of study hall, he finally gets a free period. And probably most importantly his opportunity to participate in sports has arrived. Playing a sport means no more having to do Coach Leuze ' s helpful exercises or taking the Presidential Fitness Test. Instead of being confined by the limits of P.E., a student can now show off his prowess in either football, basketball, track, or tennis. One of the benefits of playing a sport is the extra study hall one gets to do homework, goof around, or sleep. In return, however, the student must sacrifice a lot of time and hard work after school. Eighth-grade sports have become an important part of building student character. It is an essential part of preparing the students for entry into the Upper School.

Thomas Jr, 253 Make Sure The Next Person You Hire Isn ' t Trouble In Disguise. Prospective employees aren ' t always who they say they are. A resume or inter- view can be deceptive, and decisions based on that deception may cost your company thousands, even millions of dollars. The Mark Lipman Division of Guards- mark, Inc., can assist you with intense background screening of prospective employees. The Guardsmark PSC® (Profes- sional Security Check) is an in-depth inves- tigation of an applicant ' s ability, character, credit, education, previous employment history, and criminal record. Unlike other firms that conduct less expensive, superfi- cial security checks, we spend the time and 254 Ads have the technology to do a thorough job. As personnel costs grow, every new employee represents a major investment in your company ' s future. Prospective employees who misrepresent their educa- tion or their qualifications, or who have problems with drugs or alcohol can be trouble in disguise. Don ' t risk it. Guardsmark ' s PSC® helps you avoid personnel surprises. For more information, call Alice Knowles of the Mark Lipman Division of Guardsmark, Inc., at 1-800-238-5073 or in Tennessee at 901-522-7800.

Representing the United Kingdom, Chris Hess accepts the award for Best Delegation at the Rhodes Model UN. The UK delegation, consisting of Chris Hess, Prasad Jallepali, Ryan Riggs, Jeff Lewis, Peter Molettiere, and Marc Kesselman, took six of the eight possible awards. 260 Student Life Winter kept MUS students busy as they travelled throughout the state displaying their superior intellectual athletic talents. Mr. Omundson, Mrs. Cannon, and a group of science students travelled to UT Martin for the Science Bowl. The bowl team, consisting of Prasad Jallepalli, Weber Chuang, Richard Bang, and Michael Austin, placed first, while Prasad Jallepalli showed his dominance in science with a first place finish on the individual test. The government club, participating in the Rhodes Model UN at Rhodes College and attending YMCA Youth Legislature meetings at Mason YMCA, kept busy with many activities in and out of Memphis. The United Kingdom delegation from MUS dominated Rhodes as it won six of eight awards. Basketball frenzy swept the school as the team roared into the District and Regional tournaments. Fans painted their faces and rooted for the team. MUSTA ' D staged rehearsals at odd hours of the night, pulling off all- nighters to put the finishing touches on the spring musical. The honor societies, Mu Alpha Theta, Cum Laude, and the National Honor Society, all admitted new members in February with receptions in the dining hall, and the chess team diligently prepared for the state chess tournament held at MUS in March. The chess team put in many long hours to improve on last year ' s performance. At home and away from home, MUS students maintained the high standards set in the past. Lighting the candle of character, Kevin Tilley prepares to give his speech on the importance of character during the National Honor Society induction. Planning out his next move, Richard Vining prepares to win another match at the state chess tournament, which was held at MUS.

Gracias! The birds and the bees have returned. The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. It ' s finally spring time, and the yearbook symbolizes its arrival. Working on the 1988 Owl has consumed a vast majority of my free (and school) time of the past year. Yet every ounce of effort that I put into the annual was well worth it. With the help from numerous people, I have overseen the task of constructing the anthropology of the 1987-1988 school year. I thank my class for supporting me throughout this long year; without its constant nagging ( Hey Lewis, is the yearbook gonna be on time? ) and encouragement, turning out this annual would have been a much more arduous burden. The change in advisors from Mr. Ellis Haguewood to Dr. John Harkins and Mrs. Barbara Crippen was an extremely smooth transition. I have nothing but praise for Dr. Harkins and Mrs. Crippen; they took the position of advisor literally; they proofread the pages, kept peace in the yearbook camp, and served as the liaison between the annual staff and the administration. I want to thank Mr. E Buddy Haguewood for all his years of service and dedication to the Owl. His expertise and humor will be sorely missed, but never forgotten by any yearbook worker. Thanks. That the 1988 Owl was able to meet most of its deadlines is a tribute to a seasoned corps of yearbook editors. Top honors have to go to the two Sports editors — Rajeev Memula and Weber Chuang, who performed miracles in an extremely difficult section to layout. Prasad Jallepalli turned out eighteen superb Senior pages. Darkroom editor Bruce Campbell was present virtually every Saturday and many weekdays to develop that roll of film or print that picture. Although afflicted with the flu, Marc Kesselman managed to complete his Academics section, while Bobby Kuo and Manning Weir churned out their thirty Underclassmen pages on time. Ads editor Wren Greene did a stupendous job of not only cajoling people to sell ads but also laying out his section. In short, it has been a pleasure to work with such a talented staff on such a monumental task. To borrow from last year ' s theme, we were On Top of It for the 1988 Owl. The 1987-1988 Long and Winding Road is drawing to a close. And this Owl marks the finish line. Specifications Publisher: Taylor Publishing Company, Dallas, Texas.

The Honor System also fosters an atmosphere of camaraderie and openness between the students and faculty — a situation that exists at few other schools.
