Planted in the Past Preparing for the Future % • • Jh Page 2 ( ACADEMY • NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE . The 1 9(50 edition of the Bell represents our best efforts to portray an accurate presentation of our life on the Hill. Years after our graduation from our be- loved Montgomery Bell Academy, as we slowly thumb through our battered annuals, the moments and individuals shown here will unleash a flood of cher- ished remembrances, many times the number that would fit into this book. The experiences recorded here are varied: the organizational, the athletic, the social, the creative, and the spiritual; yet no mere publication could ever show the myriad reasons for our profound gratitude to the faculty, our old and new friends, and the spirit of brotherhood which has al- ways been a part of M.B.A. oreword 4 ADMINISTRATION Page 15 4 CLASSES 19 ontents 4 ORGANIZATIONS Page 75 m 4 FEATURES Page 65 4 ATHLETICS Page 93 Page 5 TO - WE PREPARE THROUGH We prepare through traditions. At M.B.A. honor is instilled in us through the tenets of the Honor Code. We are inspired, instructed, and oftimes amused in our daily chapel programs. We take pride in our campus, our work, our teams, and our organizations. We strive to better ourselves by transcending the per- formance of the past generations of M.B.A. gentlemen. We prepare through knowledge. The advanced curriculum of M.B.A. prepares us for any college-level tasks we wish to achieve. We have fine laboratories, fine instructors, fine books; and, when we graduate, we have a Hue education. We are mentally prepared to meet life. WE PREPARE THROUGH ta k % We prepare through friendships. Through the many contacts which we make in four years at M.B.A. we adjust ourselves socially; we seize the art of “getting along.” T hose who are fortunate enough to head various organizations learn the art of leading a group success- fully. We learn how to judge true friend- ships, and we keep such friends for life. WE PREPARE THROUGH h (A mJrnri i • H , Z 1 1 is with deep pride and a profound sense of gratitude that we, the Senior Class of 19(i0, dedicate this edition of The Bell to a lady who has been an inspiration to us throughout our years at Montgomery Bell Academy. Since her arrival in 1943, she lias cheerfully served long hours every day in her capacity as secretary. Indeed, her ready acceptance of new tasks has earned our deep-seated appreciation on countless occasions. Her steadfast devotion to her job has instilled in us lofty ideals for our life’s work. We are truly grateful for the oppor- tunity to dedicate this annual to Mrs. Harley Patterson. Page 13 Mr. John E. Sloan Chairman of the Board Hoard of Trustees.

This continuous developing of our character has occurred in a different fashion for each of us; how- ever, our classes and companions have played a major role in every case. Especially du ring our last two years, we have been acutely aware of our outstanding preparation for college and also for our life’s work. But our learning need not halt with such material aspects, important as they may be. Like a carpenter, we use our tools to build slowly a stairway to reach our goal. Every step we construct consitutes an inte- gral part of our preparation. At the head of the stairs lies our life’s goal . . . we prepare for it now, be it service or self-aggrandizement. How is it, then, that our classes mold our destiny? All our associa- tions with our classmates— the warm friendships and the infrequent discord, our proud achievements and our inevitable failures, the gay parties and the glorious feeling of being a part of a fine school com- posed of a great number of fraternal young men— will remain with us always as memories of one of the most wonderful periods of our lives. It was at Montgomery Bell Academy that we learned the self-discipline to study and not to give up in the face of test after test of the hardest calibre. By seizing opportunities as they come our way, we discovered a new and richer way to live: make the most of every second, for an- other may not be on its way. Each of our daily experiences has helped to erect the staircase to our ultimate goal. This structure, our preparation, has not been easy to build. But few worthwhile objects or ideals are! It is only by arduous labor and by wanting a goal enough to sweat and faint from exhaustion that we can mold our lives to make a difference. In varying degrees according to our efforts, our preparation at Montgomery Bell Academy will en- able us to climb to the goal of our choosing. —Bobby Wood of he Glass of ig6o Left to right: Lewis Dale, Paul Simpson, Joe Howell, Wilson Prueher.

Some of the organizations, mainly the speech clubs, train the members to think clearly and to speak effectively. The importance of confidence for a speaker is emphasized, thus giving the students an acute realization of the role of forensic abilities in later life. However, even with a proficiency in public speaking, the officers seldom discover the piloting of the club’s manifold enterprises to be an easy task; on the contrary, they acquire skill in leadership only from experience in dealing with many problems. The leaders of the Hi-Y Club and the Key Club continually face the job of arousing the en- thusiasm of a lew indifferent members in support of a beneficial project or an altruistic donation. All the boys elected to either the Honor Council or the Student Council assist in the government of the school and in the determination of disciplinary questions. In these ways, the members of the various organizations are provided with the compe- tence of administration beneficial both in college and in their future profession. But perhaps the most important function of our clubs is to assist the formation of enduring friendships. The planning and organizing of social activities requires a close, amicable co-operation; moreover, participation in charitable projects effects a feeling of congenialty among the workers. The regular, informal meetings create an atmos- phere of fraternity, conducive to the formation of staunch friends. Thus, these gatherings provide the sub-structures upon which are con- structed loyal, permanent friendships. Fits l Row: Ligon, Harwell, C..

I ' hc Debate Team, under the sponsor- ship of Mrs. Norton Campbell, has had another eventful year. This year’s team is composed oi the following members: Craig Nielson, first affirmative; Morgan Kousser, second affirmative; John Chaf- fin, first negative; Aubrey Harwell, sec- ond negative. The question debated this year was “Resolved: That the Federal Government should substantially in- crease regulation of labor unions.” This rousing topic led to heated disputes throughout the year. The team won six out of ten rounds at Emory University in Atlanta and four out of six rounds at Austin Peay State College in Clarksville. They were also successful in the five- round debate in the Mid-South Contest at Vanderbilt. Our Debate Team has shown capacity in tjuick thinking, logical reasoning, and effective delivery. Certa inly M.B.A. should be proud of such a fine organiza- tion.

And many a coward fails Ere even his work is begun. Think big and your deeds will grow, Think small and you ' ll fall behind; Think that you can and you will— It’s all in the state of mind.

Captain Sam Glasgow, David Walker Page 96 Captain , W ilson Prueher L ooking for blood, the St. Xavier boys evened the score with M.B.A. for a 7-0 defeat last year in Nashville. This game, played on the St. Xavier field in Louisville, was witnessed by a crowd oi 5,000. With nearly two minutes left in the first quarter, St. Xavier’s half- back Bobby scored the first touchdown with a twelve yard run. Hav- ing made several fumbles, the Tigers were held to one touchdown until the fourth quarter when halfback Jim Ray rambled seven yards into the end zone. Another halfback, Ed Weis, drove thirteen yards for St. Xavier’s third and final score with two minutes left in the game. None of St. Xavier’s conversion attempts were successful. The Tigers racked up a total of 304 yards rushing. M.B.A. ’s only touchdown was made by fleet junior fullback Tommy Worrall, who romped sixty-seven yards to score with only seconds remaining in the first quarter. The Big Red showed little offensive action until Worrall took a pass from quarterback Bobby Frist and ran seventy yards into the end zone. An official ruling, however, brought the ball back, and the Maroons were unable to move the ball any further. Jimmy Killcbrew is to be recognized for his outstanding kicking game. John Witherspoon M.B.A. 6 - St. Xavier I 8 Buddy Cafferky M.B.A. 28 - Clarksville 0 On September 18, in Clarksville, Tennessee, a large crowd ol M.B.A. supporters saw their team play one ol the biggest thrillers ol the season. Bouncing back from the St. Xavier game, the Big Red used an accurate passing attack and a brilliant deleuse to dominate play throughout the game. The first touchdown came early in the first quarter after a pass from quarterback Bobby Frist to Buddy Cafferky on the Clarksville live yard line. Frist carried the ball over to score. The Maroon defensive wall halted all Clarksville Wildcat drives, and the score remained 7-0 at the end of the first half. Power hall- back Tommy Worrall suffered a leg injury in the second quarter and was unable to play for the rest ol the game. Twice during the third quarter, Frist connected with Cafferky. The first pass, good for thirty-five yards, moved the Maroons ahead thirteen points. Cafferky took another pass on the Clarksville eight and maneuvered around the right end to score. In the fourth quarter, tackle Frank Cherry grabbed a partly blocked punt and ran forty yards lor the final touchdown ol the game. Mike Thompson ' s excellent conversion kicking added four to the M.B.A. score. John Witherspoon Chip Hutchison Jud Harwood Willie Hardison M.B.A. 18 - Gallatin 0 On September 25, at Gallatin, M.B.A. crushed Gallatin’s Green Wave, which had a 3-0 record with no scoring by opponents. In the second quarter, fullback Milton Smith hauled the seventy- two yards up the field for the first spectacular touchdown of the game. Gallatin was in scoring position four times during the game, the closest penetration being to the M.B.A. ten yard line. Excellent de- fensive action, however, stopped Gallatin every time. In the fourth quarter, halfback Joe Roberts intercepted a pass by Gallatin’s Ralph Grant. Roberts scampered thirty-five yards to make tlie score 12-0. Mike Thompson’s placement kick made the final score 13-0. M.B.A. picked up 181 yards rushing and fourteen first downs. Gallatin had 83 yards rushing with seven first downs. This game gave M.B.A. two wins with three starts. John Witherspoon Page 98 Paul Simpson Joe Roberts M.B.A. 0 - Ryan 0 M.B.A. and Father Ryan locked horns in a scoreless deadlock on October 2. This game, played at M.B.A., marked the opening of N.I.L. “Big Four” warfare. M.B.A. had beaten the Irish live straight times before the October second standoff. Several times the teams made drives, of which only two serious scoring threats materialized. M.B.A. drove to the Ryan 3 in the first quarter when the Ryan defense began to tighten. Even with Frist’s deadly passing to Cafferky and Thompson, the Big Red was unable to move the ball over. M.B.A.’s defensive wall checked every Panther attack. Ryan’s deep- est penetration came in the early minutes of the fourth quarter. The Irish offense drove to the M.B.A. twelve before it was halted. M.B.A.’s defense was headed by tackles Chip Hutchison and Frank Cherry along with back Billy Whitmer. The offensive attack was led by Bobby Frist, who gained 75 yards with passes alone. John Chaffin Jimmy Pickel Fv JFi M.B.A. 12 - Christian Brothers High (Memphis) 13 On October 9, Christian Brothers ran their string of undefeated games to 25, but they were forced to come from behind twice to defeat the hard-hitting M.B.A. team. On the second play of the second quarter, Frist passed to Cafferky for 36 yards and a touchdown. C.B.H.S. promptly tied the score at 6-6. On the last play of the first half, Killebrew nabbed a punt and raced 55 yards to make the score 12-6 at the half. M.B.A. had an apparent upset victory in the bag with only four minutes left to play. Then C.B.H.S. quarterback Billy Gold directed his club 94 yards for the tying touchdown and winning extra point. Outstanding offensively for the Big Red were Frist, Cafferky, and Hardison. Defensive standouts were Pickel, Walker, and Whitmer. Jimmy Killebrew was selected Class AAA “Player of the Week” by the Optimist Club. Mike Doyle Jimmy Killebrew Bobby Frist M.B.A. 32 - Springfield 13 On October 15, the mighty Big Red slashed the vaunted Spring- field Yellow Jackets, eighth ranked team in the state, by the score ol ' 52-15. Although the Jackets drew first blood, the Maroons rallied be- hind the aerial combination ol Bobby Frist to Buddy Gafferky and the running ol Milton Smith and Willie Hardison to gain their finest victory ol the season. M.B.A. scored its first touchdown on a five-yard pass from Frist to Hardison early in the second quarter. Before the first half ended, Frist connected again: this time, to “All-City” Gafferky for 58 yards and six more points. On the first play of the second half, Smith galloped through a horde of “would-be” Yellow Jacket tacklers for 71 yards and the third Big Red tally. Later in the third quarter, Hardison raced 48 yards to paydirt, and the Maroons were in front 26-7. The final Maroon touchdown came in the last quarter on a 57 yard pass from Frist to Gafferky. Springfield’s Pearson scored twice, giving the Yellow Jackets 15 points for the night. Lewis Dale Hooty Grossman Milton Smith M.B.A. 9 - Oak Ridge 12 Oak Ridge met M.B.A. on Andrews Field on October 23. Ham- pered by a steady rain, both teams had trouble making offensive headway in this game, the strangest of the season. Early in the second quarter, the Wildcats started rolling from their 46 yard line. Continued drives and a run by Larry Mason put Oak Ridge in the end zone for the first score of the night. Later Maroon quarterback Frist made aerial contact with end Cafferky. Frist’s spec- tacular 64 yard pass evened the scoring. A conversion by Thompson sent the Maroons ahead 7-6 for the halftime score. In the third quarter, Wildcat guard Eddie Alexander made foot- ball history by grabbing the ball, supposedly touched accidently by a Maroon player, and running 65 yards to his own goal line. Lewis Dale brought Alexander down for a safety. The score was M.B.A. 9, Oak Ridge 6. A victory for M.B.A. seemed only a matter of waiting for the clock; Oak Ridge, however, which had not tasted defeat since November, 1957, was still moving. With 2:15 left to play in the fourth quarter, the Ridgers took the ball on the M.B.A. 33. With five plays, including a 13 yard dash by Larry Mason. Oak Ridge shot ahead of M.B.A. with a score of 12-9. Outstanding offensively lor the Big Red were Milton Smith, Wil- lie Hardison, Buddy Cafferky, and Bobby Frist. Defensive leaders were Sam Glasgow and Lewis Dale. John Witherspoon Lewis Dale Page 102 M.B.A. 14 - Isaac Litton 21 On October 30, M.B.A. and Litton met on Andrews Field before a capacity crowd of 5,500. M.B.A. was ready at the start and drove to Litton’s 25 on the first plav. However, Litton’s Roger Fish intercepted one of Frist’s passes. In eight plays Litton tallied with Fish, Patterson, and Owen doing the work. Fish went over from the five. The Lions scored again when M.B.A. missed the kickoff and recovered on the M.B.A. eight. Litton took a fumble on the 15, and Patterson drove twelve yards, giving Litton a 12-0 lead. Then M.B.A. recovered a Litton fumble on the 44 and traveled 56 yards in 7 plays. Ki Hebrew went over from the 2. Litton scored again in the second period when Owen threw Wood an 11 yard pass. Litton then led 21-7. The second half was mostly M.B.A. The score finally became 21- 14 in the last quarter. The Big Red drove to the Litton 23, where a clipping penalty and an ensuing pass interception stopped the drive. Statistically M.B.A. outplayed the Lions with Ki Hebrew and Smith getting the yardage. John Chaffin F rank Cherry M.B.A. 20 - Hillsboro 0 Friday, November 13, M.B.A. met Hillsboro at Hillsboro. Led by quarterback Bobby Frist and halfback Willie Hardison, the Big Red stomped the Burro opposition for the most valued win ol the season. In the first period, Frist, getting tremendous blocking support, took the ball on the Hillsboro 33 and weaved through the Burro defense to the goal line for M.B.A.’s first touchdown. The score stood M.B.A. 7, I Iillsboro 0 at the half. The Big Red, looking for more blood, returned after the half to rack up another two touchdowns. Hillsboro took the opening kickoff of the second half but was unable to move the ball. I he mighty Maroons took over and raced to the Hillsboro 1, where Frist took the ball and trotted over the Burro goal line to make the score 13-0. Idle final score for M.B.A. came in the fourth period when fleet halfback Willie Hardison made a dash from the Burro 4 to give the Big Red a 20 point margin over their opponents. The final score was M.B.A. 20, Hillsboro 0. M.B.A. ran up 218 yards rushing to Hillsboro’s 130. Outstanding on offense for the Maroons were Bobby Frist, Milton Smith, Willie Hardison, and Jimmy killebrew whose long, spiralling punts were a definite asset to the Maroon attack. Mike Thompson’s outstanding conversion kicking added two points to the M.B.A. score. Outstanding defensively for M.B.A. were Hooty Grossman, Sam Glasgow, and Billy Whitmer.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1959-60 basketball squad, consisting of captain and high scorer B o b b y Frist, Mike Thompson, Milton Smith, Eslick Daniel, Paul Simpson, Bill Shwab, Lewis Dale, Rhea Rippey, Tate Bradley, Alex Porter, Steve Ward, and Chris Williams, struggled its way to the finest season in a number of years for an M.B.A. bas- ketball team. The Big Red began the season with three dis- trict victories, defeating T.P.S., Howard, and Cohn. After losses to Ryan and West, the Ma- roons defeated Springfield in a close game 35-33. The next Thursday, M.B.A. trounced North 63- 36. Bobby Frist with 17 points and Mike Thomp- son and Milton Smith, each with 1 1 points, led the Maroon attack. In their next game, the Big Red upset Peabody 39-36. Frist was the high scorer with 13 points. In the second game with Cohn, the Maroons stopped the Black Knight 42-29. After losses to Hillsboro, Ryan, and Pea- body, the Big Red defeated North for the second time 47-37. Mike Thompson led the Maroons from a 17-17 halftime tie by scoring 22 points. The Maroons lost their next three games to West, C.H.M.A., and Lipscomb. The loss to Lipscomb was in overtime 32-33. However, the last five games of the regular season were all important victories for the Big Red. Howard was the first victim 60-50 as Frist, Simpson, Dale, and Thompson all hit in the double figures. In the next contest the Maroons reached their scoring zenith of the year by downing T.P.S. 77-35. Frist scored 25 points, and Simpson had 14 points. Frist again was high scorer with a total of 30 points as the Big Red trounced 53-33. Then M.B.A. upset C.H.M.A. in a hotly con- tested game 36-34. In the last game of the season, Milton Smith and Eslick Daniel led the Maroons to a 46-36 victory over Lipscomb to gain fourth place honors in the 18th District. This victory also gave the Maroons the 4th seeded spot in the 18th District tournament. In the quarter- finals of the tournament, the Big Red met Hume Fogg, the ultimate champions of the district. Although M.B.A. led by as much as 9 points in the 3rd quarter, the Blue Devils sneaked past for a 55-58 victory. The Maroons closed the season with a 13-8 record. The high scoring of Frist, the rebounding of Daniel and Simpson, and the brilliant floor play of Thompson and Smith, to- gether with the aid from Shwab, Dale, Rippey, Bradley, and Porter, made this record possible.

Bolstered by eight let- termen, the Maroon thinclads will be a real threat in the N.I.L. Relays and the T.S.S.A.A. District meet at T.P.S. In the field events, Jud Harwood and Chip Hutchison, pole vaulting combination; Aubrey Harwell in the high jump, Harwood in the broad jump, Hutchison in the shot put, and Dilley in the discus throw will definitely give the Big Red one of the best field teams of the past several years. M.B.A. is not to be denied its usual tradition of excellent speedsters. This year’s sprinters are among the fastest in the N.I.L. Porter, Moss, Pickel, and Hardison, all of whom have had three years of experience are the backbone. Rob- ert Orr, Tony Todd, and Rick Carter provide the added strength to the team. David Walker, Rick Mellon, Ralph Chandler and Bobby Fox are the distance runners, along with Allen Mc- Daniel, the best M.B.A. miler of the past few years. The Big Red had their first real test on April 9 at East High in the First Annual Optimist Club Relays. Everything points toward a highly successful season. Joe Howell v lp EM All m , Last year, the Big Red golfers took third place in the city meets. This year, the Big Red is looking forward to an even more successful year of golfing. Along with the Southern Tourney in Chattanooga and various other meets, there are hopes to take the N.I.L. championship. This year, the Big Red team has Frank Hutchi- son and Hooty Grossman, two members of last year’s team, returning to carry the main strength of the team. Also, two strong golfers coming out this year are Dee Metcalf and Rhodes Zimmer- looking very good. man, two juniors who are Hutchison, Grossman, Metcalf, and Zimmerman have all been golfing for several years, and all four seem to be strong golfers capable of carrying Big Red to the championship. Other M.B.A. golfers include Jimmy Cheshire, Mac Clayton, Dan Murray, Buddy Vaughn, Mor- gan Reynolds, Bandy Wenning, and JoBo Led- better. John Chaffin Kneeling: Metcalf, Zimmerman, Hutchison, Cheshire. Standing: Clayton, Reynolds, Grossman, Vaughn. Tennis During the fifteen years that Mr. James C. Rule has been M.B.A. Tennis Coach, his teams have won the N.I.L. Championship for every season. The 1960 squad certainly seems to be no ex- ception. Returning from last year’s team are Bobby Frist, Doug Love, Mike Thompson, and Jim Cheek. Other net- ters among the top ten include Steve Ward, Sam Glasgow, Eddie DeZevallos, Don Crichton, Bobo Buntin, and Billv Lukes. 1 he team will travel to Chattanooga to compete in the Southern Tennis Tournament. Later the squad will play matches in Atlanta, Memphis, and again in Chattanooga. Along with many other schools, matches will be played with Memphis University High School, Mem- phis Central, Darlington, Westminster, McCallie, and Baylor. Also the Maroons are prepared for N.I.L. competition. Everything points to another successful season for Coach Ride and his team. John Witherspoon Xevallos.

Wrestling M.B.A. made its ascent into the w r e s 1 1 i n g world this year fully equipped with brand new wrestling mats and uniforms. Steve Stevenson, a Vanderbilt student, was appointed coach. Some of this year’s newly-born wrestlers were Murray, Braden, Myhr, Zimmerman, Glasgow, Walker, Askew, Sloan, Carlisle, Risen, Carter, Car- men, and Hancock. For its first match, the team went to McCallie; and, although no bouts were won, the match proved to be good experience for the fledgling team. For the next match, the wrest- ling team engaged C.M.A. at M.B.A. Danny Murray and Rhoads Zimmer- man won their matches. After that match, the team went to Castle Heights and won three of its matches. Johnny Clover Kneeling: Nicholas, Kennell, Bradley, Aden, Carmichael, Griffin, Bryan, Peebles, Mathes, Smith, Hupka. Absent , Killebrew. Whitmer, Adkins. Standing: Myhr, Francis, Mazach, Basebal T his year’s baseball team, coached by Mr. Charles Matlock, is looking forward to improv- ing last season’s record. The infield prospects include veterans Bob Mathes, Bill Griffin, Ross Peebles, Charlie Bryan, and Jimmy Killebrew; and newcomers John Myhr, Dave Startup, and Gordon Smith. The outfield prospects include Paul Francis, Leighton Carmichael, and Gareth Aden. The battery will consist of Spike Hupka be- hind the plate and John Mazach and Tate Brad- ley on the mound. With a good combination of returning vet- erans and the promising newcomers, M.B.A. should have one of its better teams in recent years. The Junior Varsity, coached by Mr. Thomas Black, should provide experienced players for the Varsity in a few years.
