Ingram Edwin Keeble VV. R. Manier, Jr. Alfred D. Sharp Tony Sudekum Vernon Tupper Vivian Tupper Buford Wilson The students of Montgomery Bell wish to express their sincere appreciation to the Board of Trustees for the splendid work they have been doing for the betterment of the school. We firmly believe that this Board is composed of the mid-South’s most capable men, and that their interests and efforts surpass those of any other southern preparatory school. I’his year more improvements have been made for the benefit of M. B. A. than have been made for many years. Much credit is also due to the Ladies’ Auxiliary for the many improvements they have wrought around the school. With the Board of Trustees and the Ladies’ Auxiliary working hand in hand, the following improvements have been made: a new concrete bridge has been constructed in place of the old wooden one; the front wall has been rebuilt and parts of it cemented; an entire new road system is now being built throughout the campus; a beautiful brick terrace and brick walks are being built in the rear of the main building in memory of Messrs. Tom and Harold Joy; new tennis stops are being obtained; new lockers are being added in the gymnasium; the old bicycle shed has been torn down and a new one built in its place in back of the Science Building; much painting has been done, both inside and outside, on all three build- ings; the campus has been landscaped; new draperies have been installed in the Library and in the Honor Room; and many other new improvements are planned. MOniTliOM� V BELL Montgomery Bell Academy was originally started in 18()(), as the preparatory de- partment of the old University of Nashville, rhe school started under the conduct of the Board of 7 ' rustees of the University of Nashville, and today its operations are conducted by a board still operating under the title of the “Board of Trustees of the University of Nashville.” In 1855 the Western Military Institute was merged with the preparatory school which continued to operate as a department of the University of Nashville. The school continued under this direction until the opening of the Chvil War, and for the six years from 1861 through 1866 its activities were dormant. However, in 1867 the Board of Trustees met and decided to accej t the legacy of the Honorable Montgomery Bell, a Nashville industrialist and banker, who in 1852 left a trust fund for the education of worthy boys. This trust fund jn ' ovided for the educa- tion of twenty-five worthy boys free of charge, and also stipulated that the school to be established for this purpose must be called “Montgomery Bell Academy.” The trustees of the University of Nashville accepted his legacy and established Montgomery Beil Academy as a separate school and department of the University of Nashville. From September, 1867, to date, the school has been operated as pro- vided in the will of the Honorable Montgomery Bell, and under the direction of the said Board of Trustees of the University of Nashville. Brownxee O. Currey Montgomery Bell I ■ • i - r. B, A. is fortunate indeed to have as chairman of its Board of rrustccs Mr. Brownlee O. Currey, who has been a student of the school and a lifetime res- ident of Nashville. To his foresight and industry we owe many of the splendid innovations which have been made, and in his deep and abiding interest we find an additional reason for loyalty to M. B. A. This sch(K)l takes its name from Mont- gomery Bell, Nashville industrialist and banker, whose will in 1852 created a trust fund for educational purposes. foreword In one Iniiulrcd ihiriy-ciglu years of siuressful exisience, Montj oinery Hell Academy has never liad a yearbook. One explanation of the fact may l)e that until a time of world wide chaos arose, the memory of this sc1hm)1 remained particularly clear in the minds of all its graduates. Now, however, in as much as the number of distractions and callings to which each of us finds himself cxposc‘d is increasing, and because, too, in times of stress people have a natural tendency to try to put into somewhat secure and permanent form those values and ex|x?riences of life which they prize, we, the Senior Class, wish to leave this annual as a record of a great year at Afontgomery Hell— a year of s|)ecial significance to us. rrue, the various members of our class may not in life after school demonstrate such (piali- ties of greatness in character and talent as we find in Sam Davis and General Frank M. .Andrews, M. H. A. graduates, nevertheless, there does exist in our hearts the ambition to go hirth into the world to bring credit to our institution. Cireat deeds may lie ahead of some of us, but great thoughts and high hearts are for EACH of us an endowment from Montgomery Bell. May the students of the classes here carry on in the true tradition of our school. 1 ME SENIOR CLASS. I’ROr-KSSOR AND MRS. ISAAC lUl.l. Dedication I’his yearbook cannot o fortli witliout an arknowlcdgincnt to Professor and Mrs. Isaac Hall, who have in so many ways been admired and cherished by every class and graduate from Montgomery Bell Academy. .Although other students and interested friends have paid tribute to them in numerous thoughtful ways and excellently chosen phrases, we also wish to express an appreciation and affection for what they have given to the students of this school. ' I ' o us the following tpiotation from I ' homas Huxley serves to describe the aim which these two Iversons must have had in mind throughout all their relationship w’ith the many boys with w ' hom they have come in contact. “ I ' hat man. I think. ha.s had a lil)cral ediuaiion who lias l)cen so trained in yontli tfiat his Ixuly is the ready servant of his will and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cohl. logic engine, with ail its parts of etpial strength and in snuMtth working order; ready, like a steam engine, to he turned to any kind of work, and spin the gos.samers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who. no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, hut whose passions are trainc d to c � me to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience; who has learnetl to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art. to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. Further, Profc.s.sor Ball’s arm around our shoulders and Mrs. Ball’s smile have served not only to inspire us, but also to guide us toward this ideal. It is one thing to know what one is to do or be; it is an entirely different thing to do or to be it. I’oward this latter goal, too. Professor and Mrs. Ball helped us forw ' ard. Meadmaster Mr. Howard Alien might almost be said to have grown up with the school— a fact which j)er- haps accounts for his fine understanding of the boys and their problems. First a student, then the head of the athletic department for eight years, and now our esteemed Headmaster, he is truly a vital part of the school. His practical suggestions and inspiring willingness to help us have been of great benefit to Montgomery Bell Academy.

The Na- tional Association of Secondary School Principals discussed the organization of a society to honor scholarship, and so the National Honor Society was organized in 1921. rhis organization has grown rapidly. At the present there are more than three thousand chap- C E R S President J ' ice-President Secretary T reasurer Alfred Adams Nelson Andrews H. E. Cantrfli.

I ' lie standards of the sch(K)ls in which chapters may be estab- lished must be ecpial to those of schools accred- ited by such agencies as the North Central Asso- ciation. Members are elected to the Junior Honor Society from the junior high schools, ' riieir scholastic average must be eighty-eight or above. I’he senior members are elected from the senior high schools. Their average must be ninety or above. ' Hie fundamental principles of the society are character, leadership, scholar- ship, and service.

P ' or that reason, the School Committee was formed many years ago. File members — one from the grade department, one from the freshman class, two from the sopho- more class, three from the junior class, and four from the senior class — are elected by the various classes to represent them in committee meetings. With its chairman. Charles Robinson, this com- mittee has been very successful this year settling many problems that have come up. Itoitoni roil ' , left to ri ht: Adams, Whitaker, . tkinson.
