To he eligible for membership a hoy must be in the upper third of his class and in the sophomore, junior, or senior year of school. He must, moreover, be recom- mended by tlift faculty. The aims of this organization are fourfold : 1. To develop leadership. 2. To provide experience in living and working together. 3. To serve the school and community. 4. To prepare students for useful citizenship. This year the Key Club has sponsored many after-game ' ‘Bell Hops” and has contributed a picture of the AAA Co-Champs of 1954. The coveted varsity letter of M.B.A. is the dream of every athlete in school. Only a few receive this cherished monogram. These boys wear the letter with pride, for it represents the spirit of M.B.A. The patience, the skill of the coaches, the long hours of practice for interscholastic competition, and the determination of those hoys not quite ready to win a letter; all this gives the monogram of M.B.A . a proud and honored meaning.

The creed of the Hi-Y is “to promote Christian fellowship throughout the home, school, and community.” Ibis years IM.ITA. Hi-Y Club made a fine record for itself in city and state- wide Hi-Y work. Our club sent delegates to the Youth in Government Assembly held at the State Capitol, won the city Hi-Y hasketl)all championship, and was chosen the outstanding Hi-Y Club in Nashville. Page 64 Page 6S Office THE STUDENT COUNCIL In order to promote a sense of democracy throughout the student body of Montgomery Bell Academy, the Student Council was established. The Student Council represents the student body in any action pertaining to the governing of the school. This year the Student Council took an active part in promoting school spirit by sponsoring bonfires, assembly programs, and by being in charge of half- time activities at the annual Homecoming football game. Two members from each class in high school are elected by the students to serve on the Student Council. This year Phil Williams serves as President and Billy Morehead serves as Vice- President. Along with the other members of the Council, these two fine leaders have done an excellent job while serving on the Council. First Rozv: McGugin, Husband, Raiford. Second Rozv: Elam, J. Brothers, Duke. Third Rozv: Alorehead Williams President. ' ’ TOTOMOl SOCIETY Drowota, Frist, W ' illiams, Brown, Sobel, Rolfe, Hurt.

This system, inaugurated at school in 1945, has been since that time a syml)ol of our Southern heritage. The honor of a student at M.B.A. is always impeccable, and the habits of honesty acquired here can be a major asset in later life. The Honor Council discusses and suggests the punishments of all offenders of the Honor Code and leaves the final decision of penalty to the faculty. The Honor System at M.B.A. will always he the help, hope, and symbol of the character of the Academy’s young men. First Row: Boyd, Brown, President ; Sobel.

Drowota gave the fans a preview of things to come as the little halfback took the season ' s opening kickoff and raced 78 yards for the first score of the year. Moreover he was the outstanding player on the field as he gained 76 yards from scrimmage in nine carries for an average of 8.5 yards per carry. In the second cpiarter Drowota tallied again by taking a pitch- ont from quarterback Tommy Frist and rambling around left end for 34 yards. Flalfback Mack Rolfe scored on a ten yard run in the third period just prior to Drowota’s last score. The little scathack took a screen pass from Quarterback Tom Frist and scampered 35 yards to pay dirt. Quarterback Tommy Frist also scored on the ha])less Eagles in the third period on a six yard option play. East’s lone marker came after Travis Huffines had intercepted a vagrant Maroon pass on the East 43 and had returned it to the M.B.A. nine yard stripe. Behind the outstanding blocking of Captain Frank Burkholder, Billy Morehead, and John Murphree, M.B.A. gained a total of 319 yards rushing and passing. Drowota was selected as the “Player of the Week’’ by both TJic Nashville Tennessean and Nashville Banner. MBA 61 — West 0 crushed the West Blue Jays uuder a l)arrage of touch- downs as they handed the Jays their worst footl)all defeat in tlie history of the school, 61-0. M.B.A.’s power-laden Maroons scored whenever they pleased with nine different players sharing scoring honors. Phil Williams, line senior tackle, connected on 7 of 7 pat’s to augment the slaughter. Mack Rolfe, who tallied twice, got the first score of the game on a six yard plunge after ALB. A. had recovered Vest’s fumhle of the o])ening kickoff at the Blue Jay 21 yard line. Frank Dro- wota added another touchdown seconds later, and Rolfe ended the first cjuarter onslaught with his second touchdown on a pass from Quarterback Tommy Frist. Flenry Flurt, the team’s only four-year lette rman, leaped high in the air to intercept a MTst pass and race 48 yards for the fourth score and the longest run of the night. Late in the game Sopho- more ({uarterhack Tommy Murphree came in to toss three more touchdown passes to Billy Hunter, Clay Lluddleston, and Fd Creagh. Russell P rothers and Tommy Frist also crossed the Blue Jay double stripe for the Alaroons. ALILA. had a total of 295 yards rushing behind the brilliant line play of Phil Williams, Ronnie Gruhhs, Pmddy Skinner, and Don Brothers. Frank Drowota Thurman MacLean MBA 13 — Clarksville 6 M.B.A. gained state prestige with a 13-6 win over the Clarks- ville Wildcats September 23 on the Wildcats home field. M.B.A. fell behind in the first quarter as a deflected Wildcat pass fell into the arms of a racing Charles Jewell wdio went over for the touchdown. As the second half began everyone could see that the Maroons were an inspired ball club. With five minutes and 30 seconds of the third period remaining, Mack Rolfe plunged six yards into ‘‘Promised Land’ ' and a Maroon TD. Phil “Golden Toe Wil- liams added the PAT and the Big Red was ahead to stay. The Maroon lead was augmented by another touchdown in the third quarter, this time on a 19 yard pass of quarterback Tommy Frist to end Ivan Brown who ran the last five yards to pay dirt. The Maroon defense was the key to the win. Ronnie Grubbs, Frank Burkholder, Ivan Brown, and Billy Morehead stopped the famed Wildcat offense and held Clarksville to a scant 80 yards rushing. t: - : MBA 22- — Ryan 7 Behind the fine running of Russell Brothers and Mack Rolfe and the passing of Whit Watson and Rolfe, the Maroons downed the Panthers of Father Ryan, 22-7. M.B.A. acquired an early two point lead when Ryan’s Andy Flannon went back to punt from his own end zone ; Hannon, however, was standing out of the end zone when he took the snap from center, and M.B.A. was given two points for the safety. In the second quarter linebacker Tom Donnelly picked up a Maroon fumble and raced 37 yards for a touchdown. All-City Joe Bates kicked the extra point, and Ryan led 7-2. Six plays later halfback Billy Hunter got behind the Ryan defense, took a pass from Whit Watson and ran into the end zone to complete a 60 yard Maroon touchdown play. Phil Williams converted the extra point, and M.B.A. was out in front 9-7 at halftime. In the third quarter Mack Rolfe faked and hit Tom Husband with a beautiful pass in the Ryan end zone. The Maroons started another drive in the last quarter after ITusband had intercepted a Ryan ])ass, and lateraled to Rolfe who went down to the 22 yard line of Ryan. Seven plays later Rolfe plunged across for the last Maroon touchdown. Phil Williams’ kick was good and the final score was on the books. Russell Brothers was an outstanding ground gainer for the Big Red with 75 yards, while Rolfe was second with 62 yards. Watson played his first game since his pre-season injury. On defense, guard Billy Morehead and tackle Frank Burkholder con- stantly crashed through the Ryan forewall to throw the Panther backs for loss after loss. Brothers, Burkholder and Morehead were selected on the All- City check list for their outstanding play in the game. MBA SA — Central 0 With its regulars playing less than two quarters of the game, A LB. A. romped at will to score a lopsided 54-0 Class AAA victory over Central on a chilly October night. Frankie Frowota gave the sparkle and Russell Brothers sup- plied the punch. Drowota and Brothers both scored twice as the Maroons won their 13th game without a loss. Phil Williams, extra point man deluxe, thumped six through the uprights. Drowota went over once from the one, took a fifteen yard pass for his next score, and rambled 85 yards to the one to set u]) a third. IF ' others picked up both of his six pointers on one yard plunges. Mack Rolfe, slender halfback speedster, played brilliantly on offense and claimed 46 yards on a touchdown cruise. MBA 3A — Cohn 0 M.B.A.’s Big Red rolled to its sixth win in a row by taking the scrappy Tigers of Cohn, 34-0. The Maroons scored in every quarter as they chalked np 10 first downs, 164 yards rushing, and 133 yards passing. The passing game of M.1 .A. did the real damage as Tommy Frist hit Co-Cai)tain Henry Hurt with two touchdown passes, and set up another with a 47 yard aerial. The first TD came after the 47 yard completion when Mack Rolfe went over from the 11 yard line. On the following kickoff, M.B.A. picked up a Cohn fumble on the Tiger 36 yard line. After three ground plays failed to gain, Frist hit Hurt in the end zone for the second Maroon tally of the night. M.ICA. combined a passing-running game to drive to its third score with Hurt again catching a Frist ])ass in the end zone for the touchdown. The fourth TD of the game came after a 35 yard drive as big Russell Brothers hulled his way over from the one of Cohn. I y alternating Brothers and halfback Mack Rolfe, M.ICA. moved the ball 55 yards, and Frist drove over the double stripe to end the scoring for the night. The most exciting play of the game came at the close of the game when M.lCA. ' s speedy Ifflly Hunter caught Cohn’s Roy Clary from behind to prevent a Tiger score. Hunter’s tackle on the three yard line ended the game. Buddy Skinner and Tom Husband were outstanding de- fensively for the Big Red team, while big John Mur])hree and Henry Hurt headed the offensive lines. Henry Hurt Ronnie Grubbs MBA 19 — Springfield 0 Powered by lulll)ack Russell Brothers, M.B.A. beat the highly regarded Springfield Yellow Jackets 19-0, to extend a winning streak which began in September of last year when the Maroons defeated Gallatin. The Maroons took the opening kickoff on their own 37 yard line. AVhit Watson and Mack Rolfe carried it to the four and then over with two minutes gone in the quarter. The PAT was no good and the Big Red led 6-0. Toward the end of the second quarter, quarterback Tommy Frist finding a clear field ahead of him carried for 20 yards to the Yellow Jacket seven. Two plays later, Frist plunged over from the hve. Phil “Golden Toe” Williams booted the extra point, and the Big Red was out in front 13-0. The last touchdown came in the fourth quarter when line- backer Ronnie Grubbs fell on a Springfield fumble on the M.B.A. 37 yard line. Rolfe, Watson, and Brothers helped move the ball down field and Frist went over from the two. The point after missed, the score stood 19-0 to the final gun. As a result of this game, Russell Brothers was named as “Player of the Week” by the Nashville Banner. Brothers, Skinner, Murphree, and Williams were all honored on the All-City Check- list. Don Brothers Ivan Brown Mack Rolfe and Phil Williams Whit Watson MBA 49— Dupont 0 With its siil)s playing a good deal of the game, the speedy Maroons beat an inexperienced Dupont team on a soggy Frank Andrews held. When the game started, the Maroon regulars built up a nice lead with Mack Rolfe supplying the speed and Russell Iji ' others supplying the power. Before the half, a good many of the subs were seeing action in the ball game, lo the spectators surprise, the subs took up where the regulars had left off, and they too began to grind out yardage. By the fourth quarter, it was evident that the Bulldogs were no match for the number one team in the State. The entire team deserves a pat on the back for the com- mendable job they did in defeating the Dupont Bulldogs. Once again the proud M.B.A. team walked off the field with an unman ed and undisputed record. ■ gfe-T Russell Brothers Pete Tart w Maroons Edge AA Champs 66-6 The powerful Maroons of Montgomery Bell buried the upset hopes of Hillsboro’s fired-up Burros under a rain of touchdowns on Friday, November 4, in a bitter 66-6 massacre. It was a determined M.B.A. club which struck swiftly and often to humiliate the upset-minded AA champs who had been given their big op- portunity to show their potency to people interested in the N.I.L. The Maroons had little trouble with the disheartened AA champs who had mysteriously lost their dear mascot Billy the Pmrro the night before, as M.B.A. scored at least twice in each quarter. It was the third period, however, when the Maroons un- mercifully ripped the reeling, pathetic Burros by scoring lour times. Thanks to the help of the Burros’ much-publicized junior quarterback, “Otto” Abernathy, the Big Red’s Whit Watson had the finest night of his career. “Otto Ah” threw two beautilul strikes to Watson who turned them into M.B.A. touchdowns of 55 and 50 yards. Nevertheless, the mighty A A champs roared back late in the fourth period to dent the M.B.A. double stripe — against tbe Maroon reserves. The longest run ol the night, however, came late in the fourth quarter when Billy Hunter took a straight handoff and outran the helpless Flillsboro defenders 87 yards for the Maroon score. Happily enough for the B urros, this ended the scoring for the most miserable night in the history of their school. Rolfe escapes Burro diehard •r r m MBA 14— Litton 14 John Murphree Tom Husband ] efore the largest crowd ever to witness a local high school football game, Montgomery l ell Academy and Isaac Litton High School battled to a 14-14 tie on Vanderbilt’s Dudley Field on Saturday night, November 12th. The Maroons of M.B.A. drew first blood in the opening quar- ter. Ouarterhack Tom Frist optioned around end for two yards and then lateraled to halfback Whit Watson who raced 43 sideline yards to pay dirt. Phil Williams added the PAT, and the Maroons were off and running. Midway in the second quarter, however, Litton fell on a stray M.B.A. fumble, and six plays later the game was tied. Infuriated by a surprising 7 point lead soon after the second half began, the Big Red doggedly forced their way into Litton territory. The tying TD came when little Frankie Drowota went over from the two on fourth down. Williams’ kick was good, and the game was again deadlocked. After stopping a Litton drive on their own 17, the Maroons pushed the hall to the Litton four yard line. It was fourth and one, with 30 seconds remaining. The Maroons called on halfback Mack Rolfe over left tackle; hut the Litton wall did not yield, and the outcome was then obvious. Statistic-wise, M.B.A. possessed the big edge, but the payoff comes only David Duke by the number of goal lines crossed. Drowoia Draws First Blood CLINIC BOWL All-State Tillman Racked by Grubbs, Burkholder, and Unknown Hurt Fights His Way for TD Maroons Win State Championship 26-7 Alert, aggressive iMontgomery Bell Academy became the king of Tennessee high school football on Thanksgiving Day, 1955, with a crushing 26-7 win over Isaac Litton in the sixth annual Clinic Bowl. A crowd of 20,000 poured into Vanderbilt’s Dudley Stadium to see the two-year-old issue decided. The settlement came much earlier than expected, for the Big Red of M.B.A. had things well in hand by the opening minutes of the second half. As in their first contest, M.B.A. drew first blood on a 4-yard sweep around left end by little Frankie Drowota. Phil Williams hooted the extra point, and M.B.A. was ahead 7-0. The T.ions fought hack with a beautiful run by Joe Sutton on the ensuing kickoff. He gathered in the hall on his own 25 and raced to the M.B.A. 9-yard line before before being caught from be- hind by fleet Billy Hunter. A penalty moved the hall to the two, and from their Bobby Tillman went into the end zone. James McCullough added the extra point to tie the score. After the hall had exchanged hands several times in the second period, quarterback Tommy Frist hit halfback Whit Watson with a ])icture pass on the Lion ten yard line. AVatson turned and drove over Litton ’s Wayne Meadows to pay dirt and the winning edge. With M.B.A. leading 13-7 and the hall in pos- session of Litton on the M.B.A. 49-yard line, All- State Bobby Tillman faded to pass. He was hit hard and fuml)led. The gun had already sounded for the half when tackle Phil Williams scooped up the loose hall, shook loose a would-he tackier and went the remaining distance for the score. Only 2 :20 had elapsed in the third period when M.B.A. again scored on the stunned Lions. The TD came on a pass play from Frist to end Henry Hurt who took the hall on the Lion 10 and fought off five Litton tacklers to cross the double stripe for the score. The play covered 19 yards, Wil- liams kick was good, and all hope for a Litton win was now gone. The win assured the Maroons of their first State Championship since 1926. Foothall-wise the Big Red of M.B.A. were kings. Page 101 MICROBE TEAM First Rozv: Coniiel, King, Loftin, Walker, W. Cheek, Ward, Wilson, Evans. Second Rozo: J.

This year the M.B.A. netters are favored to cap- ture their twelfth consecutive Nashville Inter- scholastic I.eague tennis title. Since Sir. James C. Rule became the tennis coach in 1945, the Maroon netmen have completely dominated play in the N.I.L. tennis program. Although it lost its top three men via graduation, M.B.A. should again have a championship team, since there is an a])undance of experienced players to fill the gaps. The netters for this year will include Captain Tom Fri.st, Brad Reed, Wylie McDougall, Eddie Alurray, Dick Sohel, Runcie Clements, Jim Kel- lam, Ed Creagh, and a host of other hopefuls. As in the past M.B.A. will journey to Chatta- nooga to encounter the McCallie, Baylor, and Darlington prep schools. The Maroons chief com- petition in Nashville this year, as in other years, should come from l eabody, Hillsboro, and Lips- comb ; hut since it is playing most of its matches on their newly-resurfaced courts, which are the best in Nashville, the M.B.A. tennis team should win its twelfth consecutive N.I.T.. Championship easily. Page 103 THE SQUAD First Rozv: Thurman, Manager; Hunter, Foxall, Frist, Rolfe, Hooper, Morehead, Manager. Second Rozv: Hurt, Williams, Brown, Wallace, Marshall, Watson, Rackard.

The win- ning streak was then abruptly halted by Father Ryan who gave the M.B.A. cagers their first loss of the season. During the Christmas vacation the team jour- neyed to Kingsport, Tennessee, to play in the Kingsport Invitational Tournament. The Ma- roons, seeded number one in the tournament, took the opening game from Happy Valley. In the semi-finals they suffered defeat by one point from a highly talented Blountville team. The Maroons won the consolation game from Lynn View and came home with the third place trophy. M.B.A. defeated the West High Blue Jays in the first game after Christmas. This was followed by a win over Lipscomb. Playing the Belmont Freshman for experience, the Maroons suffered defeat but rebounded strongly to take wins over North and Peabody. After a loss to a far superior Vanderbilt Freshman team, the much improved Maroons came back to defeat Cohn and lose a close one to Hillsboro. Despite the loss to the arch-rival Burros, the Big Red, still in the running for the N.I.L. championship, then defeated Ryan, North, West, Lipscomb, and Ploward in con- secutive games. In the next to last game of the season M.B.A. journeyed to T.P.S. where they suffered defeat at the hands of an upset-minded T.P.S. ball club. This loss eliminated M.B.A. from the N.I.L. championship race. For the last game of the season the team traveled to Lebanon and defeated the Lebanon Pligh quintet to end the regular sea- son play. THE TOURNAMENTS Seeded number one in the 18th District, Tour- ney as a lieavy favorite. In the first game the Maroons defeated Hume-Fogg 53-38. In the next game with Howard tlie Maroons repeated with 64-44 win. The Big Red hasketl)allers, now in the finals, suffered a stunning defeat hy West and were forced to take second place in the tourna- ment. Whit Watson, who had games of 25, 20, and 16 points respectively, was named on the All- 18th District Tournament Team. M.H.A. then went into the Region Five Tourna- ment and was scheduled to play Waverly in what was rated as a tossup hall game. But again the Maroons reigned supreme hy heating Waverly 59-52 with Watson scoring 23 points. The Maroons now had a chance they had long been awaiting. It was an opportunity to play Hillsboro again. The game was destined to he one of the finest ever seen in Nashville. At the end of the game the scoreboard read 48-48. In overtime the Burros pulled ahead and won hy five, and the Maroon basketball season was at a finish. All in all the basketball team had a highly suc- cessful season, and Coach Tommy Owen deserves a lot o -credit for the fine play and sportsmanship which his team showed. With five memhers of this year’s varsity and several fine prospects from the Junior Varsity, the chances for a successful season in basketball look very promising for next year. THE JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM First ' ulcano, Gerald, Murray, T. Murphree, Dale, Appen, G. Creagh, E. Creagh, Blevins, Manager. Second Roza: Coach Hank Diivier, T. Sloan, Clay, D. Husband, D.

This year the golf team has a fine chance to win its fourth league cham- pionship in seven years of golf play. The team this year will be composed of Russell Hooper, George Creagh, Buddy Foxall, and a host of newcomers. The team plans to participate again in the annual Southern Prep Golf Tourna- ment sponsored by the Rotary Club in Chattanooga, Tennessee. All N.I.L. matches will he played at McCabe Golf Course on Monday afternoons. With schools like Fast and Ryan losing key players by graduation. Coach R. L. Sager’s team is a good bet to grab the N.I.L. Golf Championship for 1956. Page 109 THE BASEBALL TEAM THE 1955 TEAM FirU R nv ' Sullivan, Gerald, D. Williams, Dale, Martin, Holt, Morehead, Drowota. Second Rozv: Coa ch Jerry Frid- rich, Husband, Porter, Coles, P. Williams, Rntler, Disliman, Watson, Overton, Manager. Last year the Maroons baseballers bad a very successful season as they finished third in the W ' estern Division of the N.LL. l)y compiling seven won, three lost record. Since the team lost only three men by graduation, the prospects for the 1956 season look very bright. The success of the team will ride on the capable pitching arms of Tom Husband and Billy Gerald, and the power hitting of All-City Whit Watson, Phil Williams, and Ihlly Morehead. The sharp fielding of Dick Sullivan, Frank Drowota, Dick Martin, John Dale, David Duke, and Dick Williams will give the Big Red real strength. In addition to those boys, Coach Charles W. Gerald will select a dozen more fine young Maroons to complete the squad. Montgomery Bell looks to this year’s baseball team to round out the finest athletic year in the school’s history. Page VO First Rozv: Boyd, Epps, MacDaniel, Rolfe, Fennell, Luckey, Burwell, Hunter. Second Rozv: Burkholder, Strayhorn, Hurt, J. Herbert, Gardner, Scales, R. White. Third Rozv: Minick, Waugh, Thompson, Marshall, Brown, Chickey, McLean, Manager. THE TRACK TEAM Since Coach Tommy Owen came to M.B.A. three years ago and organized the track team, M.B.A. has become THE track power in the Nashville Interscholastic League. In the two past years of track at M.B.A., Coach Owen’s thinclads have twice copped the Banner Relays and District meets, the Regional meet once, and have made a good showing at the state track meet at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Rocked hard by graduation losing such men as speedsters Jack Herbert, Bill Fennel, and Don Chickey, hurdler Pete Thompson, distance men Butch McDaniel and Todd Burwell, and field eventer Whitney Waugh, the Maroons this year should have a tough time retaining the titles amassed by the last two .squads as was indicated by several of this spring’s ])ractice meets. How- ever, Coach Owen should again come up with an outstanding team with Billy Hunter, Jim Thur- man, Philli]) Boyd, Dave Duke, Courtney Mar- shall, Ivan Brown, Clay Pluddleston, and Mack Rolfe compiling the bulwark of the team.
