Coach and Cleorge Coarh-How’drd Lee Allen, ihe coach at M. IL A. for ihe past twelve years, is one of the most well-known ami well-liked persons at M. IL A. He graduated from here in 1929 and went to college; after four years he returned to the Academy as coach and athletic director. In 191-1, when Headmaster Jim Farrell went to the armed .services, Cloach stepped in to fill the position of headmaster pro Icmpore. W ith the arrival of Mr. .Sager, Coach was able once again to devote all of his many talents towards the thing which he most enjoys, that of coaching any kind of sports that you can name. Proof of his ability at the coaching game can be seen in the scrapbooks he keeps which have jKiper clippings of M. B. A.’s record dating from 192.5 until now. We sincerely hope that Coach Allen will remain with M. B. . . for many, many years to come.

MRS. MYRTLE WARREN Principal of the junior School Mrs. VV arren, as she is known by her students, is one teacher that no one fools with around .school. This is not to be taken, however, that Mrs. Warren is hard on the boys. She always demands their respect and she always gets it. Maybe this accounts for the fact that she is the best-liked teacher in the school. Anybody that has been under Mrs. Warren looks back on those days spent in her Microbe room— said to be the coldest in school— as the happiest of his school life even though they may have been his hardest. One thing is certain and that is when they come out of Mrs. Warren’s room they have left a good teacher but above all they have left a true and a sincere friend. Mrs. Warren attend- ed Eastern State Teachers College, Zanerian Col- lege, and Peabody College before coming to M. B. A. THE MR. JAMES CLIFFORD RULE Head of the Maiheinalics Department Principal of the High School Mr. Rule has been with us for three years and we hope that he will remain here for many more. “Fess” can always be relied on to give helpful and sincere advice to any boy at any time. He is the coach of the tennis teams and ihe team last year won the Kendall Cram Trophy for 1945 and they hope to win it again this year. Mr. Ride attended Carson-Newman College, University of Tennessee, and is now studying at Peabody Col- lege. Before coming to M. B. A. he worked for many years at several different things, among them, teaching at Erwin High School, editing The Erxuin Obsenfer, and being field secretary and later division manager of the Eastern States for the .American Technical Society.
