Tennis Coach Car.son-Newman, Peabody Vartkipat ' m m ( L We Remember and Are Remembered As wc, in the years to come, look back upon these pages, we shall remember most vividly our class: the group ol boys who shared in the many “bull sessions,” the boys who exhausted themselves in athletics, the boys who endured the same difficult teachers, the boys whose hearts were filled witli pride as they accepted their diplomas. We shall remember particularly the various characteristics of our classmates. There were those who were gay and those vho were morose. Some were energetic; others, less filled with desire. There were many who tended to be exceedingly realistic; others, mo re idealistic. But the students that we remember lor a longer period of time are the ones who rvere especially active in the life of the school. These are the boys who supported the undertakings of the school and of the class, not those who frowned on any suggestion brought up. These are the ones who took a part in any task, who were willing to offer their energy and efforts for the success of a project. These are tliose who gave a classmate a needed word of encouragement. All of the graduates received many enduring benefits from their years on the Hill: knowledge, a desire for higher learning, and a sound moral character; the people who participated more actively, however, gained more tlian did their counterparts, for in addition to the above heritage, they merited both the admira- lion and the respect of the faculty and of their classmates.

SEVENTH GRADE ParticipatioH in Organizations and You Never one thing and seldom one person can make for a success. It lakes a number of them merging into one perfect udwle. —Marie Dressler Participation is a ivorcl which olien occupies a great pan of a person’s thoughts. Students, especially, arc constantly con- fronted with the problem of what activities, what organizations they should take part in at school. One of the prime recjuisites for any outstanding organization is an adecpiate and inviting program of participation. Withotit such a program, the organi- zation along with its members cannot function properly. ' I’hese ideas are particularly applicable to sc’nool life. ,4lthough tlic thoughts and feelings of the people who make up the organiza- tions may not always coincide, the fact that they are participat- ing and striving for success is the important thing. Participation in school organizations has a reciprocal advan- tage. riie organization benefits from the participation by ac- (|uiring a well-rounded cross section of opinion, rhe student profits from the participation in numerous ways; he becomes a part of a successful group; he develops a sense of responsibility; he attains a feeling of importance and a sense of accomplishment from having a job to do and doing it; he broadens his outlook by contact with various interests and ideas. Particijtation draws, holds, and keeps people together in a perfect union; it is indeed democracy in action, brotherhood in practice. .- s is true in other areas of life, moderation is essential to the most proHtable type of participation. As Be njamin Franklin said, “ I’is easier to buikl two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.” To try to participate in too many activities and do justice to none is not good. Remember; a half-hearted effort wins little if any confidence. Students shoidd participate with a genuine thought of accomplishing a goal by imtting forth their best ef- forts. What counts in participation is action— dynamic, thought- ful, sincere, creative. Frank Crowell Page 54 IM.MJ i The ambition of every boy at M.B.A. is to be selected lor membership in I ' otomoi, the school’s honorary, leadership fraternity, lliis goal is reached only by boys who have distinguished themselves in all of the school ' s activities: scholarship, athletics, publications, organizations, and student government. Totomoi was guided through 1958-1959, its sixth year on the Hill, by Presi- dent Frank Crowell, Vice-President Richard Appen, and Secretary-Treasurer |ohn Clay.

The possession of an M.B.A. monogram is representative of the fact that a boy has spent many days and much sweat on the gridiron, hardwood, tennis court, track, diamond, or golf course; and that he has been judged by his coach as worthy to wear an M.B.A. letter.

Page 77 2 in A Shadow In The Background “Now happiness consists in activity: such is the constitution ol ' our nature: it is a running stream, and not a stagnant pool.” Tlie I ' eattires section of the Annual of Montgomery Bell Academy presents just a few persons, btit these are representa- tives of many who will be remembered, d’his section also deals with the somewhat lighter side and yet a very important aspect of life at our school. Specifically, we want to pay tribute to our cheerleaders, homecoming participants, and personalities of the year. Wbth the exception of commencement, homecoming is one of the most important incidents of the year, since it involves the work of many individuals and adds much color to school life. It indeed takes many participants to make the noisemakers, to clean up the campus, to cheer the team, and to e.scort the (|ueen and her court. In a sense, this event epitomizes many aspects of our loyal spirit. Taking an active part in the variotis social areas of school life benelits the individual as well as the whole school. It is particularly trtie that working and playing together result in a feeling of loyalty to otir fellow human beings and to our alma mater — a kind of loyalty necessary to any real and lasting happiness.

Coach is on the bench, (iod is in heaven, and everyone on the field is alone; the privi- lege to consider oneself important because everyone in athletics is important; one’s dreams which are shared only with his own heart; the companionship of men who work with l)oys and of boys who fight as men; the chance one has to mingle with people who are either more or less fortunate than he and to feel neither superior nor inferior tOAvard those people; finally, cither the disappointment or the haj)piness which comes from knowing that one has received from athletics exactly what he himself put into them ... in the river of values which a person can re- ceive from athletics, these are but a fe v drops.

At the pivot was John Clay, a fine re- bounder who netted the team’s individual scor- ing mark oi 27 points with his deadly hook shot against Lipscomb. Seeing plenty oi action at ior- ward with Murrey were Tommy Sloan, a iine re- bounder and clutch shooter; and junior Milton Smith, an excellent defensive player and out- court shooter who also saw much action at guard. Sharing starting duties at guard were the iollow- ing: Mike Thompson, a scrappy junior who was often high scorer ior the Big Red; Bobby Frist, a set-shot artist who was sidelined mid-way through the season by a Ixick injury; and Rich- ard Appen, a hustling senior instrumental in the success oi the Big Red during the latter part oi the season. Playing important roles as reserves were Eslick Daniel, Lewis Dale, and Paul Simp- son, each oi whom played a great deal. Giving added bench strength were Tommy Worrall, Chuck Chumbley, Eddie Grant, and Dick Hus- band. M.B.A. opened its season with a win over T.P.S., but played several games before earning its second victory. This win was an exciting -10- 85 upset over North on the loser’s court. M.B.A. dropped several more closely contested decisions l eiore edging North again 41-40. M.B.A. then began to move by defeating powerful Lipscomb 10-87, and upsetting Howard 57-49. The Ma- roons closed the season with another win over T.P.S. I ' he Big Red, now reaching its full potential, edged an inspired T.P.S. team on a last-second field goal by Sloan in the first round oi the 18th District Tournament at Lipscomb. In second-round play, the Maroons pulled the upset oi the tourney and probably oi the entire year l)y beating first-seeded East 41-40. The whole team played superbly; and with Clay’s hook shots consistently finding the mark, the Maroons killed all state chamj ionship hopes oi the highly regarded Eagles. In semi-final action M.B.A. lost a fine game to Cohn to end a season that had both its low and high points. Junior VarsHy Basketball Team first Roxc: Ransom. Pccl)Ics, Porlcr Ma acli, Ligon, Walker.

Led l)y several lettermen, the Maroons ligure to place high lor the ILinner Relays’ troj hy in the meet held on Ajjril 21, 22, 21. Willie llardison and l oinmy AVorrall in the 100 yard dash, jimmy Picked in the 220, and Alex Porter in the MO seem to be the leading dashmen on the sejuad. Billy W’ood, Aubrey Flar- well, and Sam (Glasgow in the 880; and Don Houser and Allen McDaniel in the mile give the team streng th in the distance events. Running the hurdles this year will be Chip Hutchison and Pete Moss. A bright s|JOt lor the team this year is the Tact that M.B.A. has three crack relay teams. In the held events, Dick Husband and Wilson Prueher in the shot and discus. Porter and Moss in the broad jump, Eslick Daniel and Porter in the high jump, and Htitchison in the pole vault are sure to score many points Tor M.B.A. The first two big meets are the Banner Relays and the r.S..S.A.A.

Led by returning in fielders Ckirl Babb, Bob Mathes, and Lewis Dale and outfielders Anders Myhr, Paul Francis, Tate Bradley, Sam Pickering, and David Walker, the team will have a nucleus of veterans. Behind the plate is Jimmy Killebrew, who will be receiving the pitching of Anders Myhr, Tate Ih ' adley, Paul Francis, and John Mazach. Newcomers to the team in the infield are Richard Ap- pen. Bullets Gillespie, Ross Peebles, Jodie llierrell, Leighton Carmichael, and Craig Nielson. Bill Griflin and Spike Hupka are new men in the outfield. With a little luck, these players may provide M.B.A. with the strongest team our school has (ielded in several seasons. For the first time in many years, M.B.. . has a Junior Varsity baseball team. Coached by Babe Taylor, this team should provide an experienced varsity squad in a few years. Page 108 FirsI Row: C.ridin, (iillcspic, Appen. Francis, Dale, Hupka, Carmichael, Peebles.

During his eighteen years at M.B.A., Hugh was a I’riend oi every boy on the Hill. He loved the boys; he supported their teams; he worked raithl’ully lor them, even after he became nearly blind. Hugh had habits which endeared him to everyone: when he received his salary, he wotdd praise the Lord and ask Him to bless the money; being fond of music, he would often pass a hat for donations and then play the piano and dance for the amusement of all. His greatest joy, however, came from his care for the tennis courts. In the spring when the weather became warm, Hugh could always be found working on his beloved courts. For these things we remember Hugh Bowers, who made M.B.A. life richer by his presence. Page 127
