Through science, Mr. Meriwether has given us a firm foundation upon which to build further explorations into the nature of our environment, and at the same time, he has taught us to think logically and clearly, to assemble a group of facts and mold them into a useful conclusion. It is also in recog- nition of his work with the Junior High football and track teams — in teaching them never to be satisfied with anything less than the best — that we dedicate this annual to Mr. Lee Meriwether. � - � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Page 5 j FOREWORD The past year on the Hill has been momentous in the lives of the Senior Class of 1962. The rugged tests, the midnight oil, the big victories, the frustrating defeats, the daily sermons in English class, and the bull sessions in the Honor Room — all these and more have been parts of our high school education. Realizing that no publication of any kind could adequately portray the hard work, the joy, the frustration, and the gratitude derived from four years at M.B.A., we humbly submit the 1962 edition of The Bell in the hope that it will serve to trigger the flood of memory when the members of the Class of ’62 thumb through it in years to come. � � � � � )� � � � � � � � � � � � � � Page 6 CONTENTS Administration • PAGE 17 Classes • PAGE 24 Organizations • PAGE 56 Features • PAGE 72 Athletics PAGE 82 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Page 7 . . .

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW Living To touch the cup with eager lips and taste, not drain it; To woo and tempt and court a bliss — and not attain it; To fondle and caress a joy, yet hold it lightly, Lest it become necessity and cling too tightly. To watch the sun set in the west without regretting; To hail its advent in the east — the night forgetting; To smother care in happiness and grief in laughter; To hold the present close — not questioning hereafter; To have enough to share — to know the joy of giving; To thrill with all the sweets of life — is living. — Unknown m V.« - - ■ Mr ' jSSki SENIOR CLASS • Page 26 Senior Officers Jack Husband, Treasurer; Joe Binkley, President; Bill Ozier, Vice-President ; Ric Braden, Secretary.

Student Council The Student Council of M.B.A. is the school’s contribution to the American democratic ideal. In conjunction with the Honor Council, the Stu- dent Council makes recommendations concerning any disciplinary problems, and these ideas are followed by the administration nine times out of ten. The Student Council is the voice of the student body in school affairs, and any problem that the students as a group may encounter may be referred to this organization. Thus, the Stu- dent Council is a vital link between administra- tion and student body. The officers of each of the classes comprise the membership of the Student Council; the officers of the Council are the same as those of the Senior Class — Joe Binkley, President; Bill Ozier, Vice- President; Ric Braden, Secretary; Jack Husband, Treasurer. This year’s group has done an out- standing job of representing the rest of the school, and it has made a valuable impression upon the tradition of Montgomery Bell Acade my.

The Honor Council The Honor Council, organized in 1945, is mod- eled after the honor system at the University of Virginia. The honor system covers all phases of campus life and places the responsibility for student honesty wholly upon the students. Its purpose is to promote honor and integrity among the student body and to punish all violators of its constitution. Each class elects representatives to the Honor Council: four from the senior class, three from the junior class, two from the sophomore class, two from the freshman class, and one from the junior school. The officers this year are Bob Rea, president; Gareth Aden, vice-president; and Char- lie Wray, secretary. Page 59 Page 60 Totomoi NEW MEMBERS: Doyle, Aden, Binkley, Wray, Rea The highest honor that can be bestowed upon a boy at M.B.A. is his election to mem- ship in Totomoi, the school ' s honorary leadership fraternity. Totomoi was organized in 1954 by Inman Fox and Robert Mc- Neilly, Jr., alumni of the class of 1950. Entrance into Totomoi can be achieved by those boys who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of scholarship, publications, stu- dent government, athletics, and organizations. The primary purposes of Totomoi are (1) to promote new student activities and tra- ditions, and especially to further high moral character and Chris- tian development; (2) to en- courage, support, and otherwise increase student participation in all existing activities and tra- ditions of Montgomery Bell Academy; (3) to honor by rec- ognition of their merit the out- standing students, alumni, and faculty of Montgomery Bell Academy. Totomoi for 1961-1962 con- sisted of President, Bill Ozier; Vice-President, Russ Dilley; Secretary-Treasurer, Rick Car- ter; and John Mazach.

The M.B.A. Key Club is a chap- ter of the Key Club International and is sponsored by the Nashville Kiwanis Club. To be a member of the Key Club, one must show good character, outstanding leadership, and must rank in the upper half of his class scholastically. The main purposes of the club are to develop leadership and initiative, and to pro- vide experience in cooperating with others for the community. This year the Key Club has spon- sored several activities, including a dance which concluded the home- coming festivities. The officers of the Key Club are: president, Mike Doyle; vice-president, Bill Ozier; secretary-treasurer, Charlie Bryan; Senior Representative, Joe Binkley; Junior Representative, Jim Daniel.

Daniel. “To create, maintain, and extend through- out the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character.” This is the goal toward which all members of the M.B.A. High School Young Men’s Christian Association strive. Membership in our Hi- Y Club is open to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This year, the Hi-Y Club engaged in various fund-raising activities around the school and sent representatives to the Youth and Government Assembly. We feel that the Hi-Y Club is one of M.B.A.’s best character-building institutions. This year’s officers are Bill Ozier, president; Joe Bink- ley, vice-president; Ric Braden, secretary- treasurer; Russ Dilley, chaplain. Hi-Y Club First Row: Aden, Rea, Carter, Dilley.

Forensic Club The Forensic Club, under the able direction of Mrs. Norton Campbell since its founding year of 1955, has established itself as one of the most active organizations at M.B.A. The club’s pur- pose is to encourage participation in public speak- ing and other forms of oratory. After finishing their freshman speech classes, students may con- tinue to improve their speaking abilities through participation in the club. Each member must participate in four minor activities, such as as- sembly programs, or a combination of minor and major activities. Major activities include school speech contests, as well as declamation, original oratory, dramatic reading, and literature interpre- tation. The officers of the Forensic Club are President, Bob Rea; Vice-President, Russ Dilley; Secretary-Treasurer, Rick Carter; Program Chair- man, Gareth Aden.

Debate Team Led by Mike Mooty and Mike Brandon, nega- tive, and Tommy Strohm and Lee McKnight, affirmative, this year’s debate team has experi- enced another good season. Mrs. Campbell’s de- baters took a trip to Emory University in Atlanta, participated in several local debates, and advanced the negative team to the state contest. Although this team has not reached the heights of some past M.B.A. debate teams, it must be noted that all of these boys will be back next year. With the experience these boys have gained and the training that the freshman debate teams are receiving, M.B.A. should return to the top of the debate ladder and remain there for several years to come. Page 65 The Glee Club This year, as in the past, the Glee Club has assumed an important role in campus extracur- ricular activities. The club has many returning members who comprise a strong nucleus. Mrs. Louis Nicholas has led a small group of boys forward to great accomplishments. Besides singing at commencement and other places, the Glee Club has performed at morning assembly. The officers are: Wilson Wattenbarger, President; Bill Lukes, Vice-President; David Nicholas, Sec- retary; Alan Householder, Treasurer; and Skeeter Graves, Librarian. We of The Bell would like to congratulate Mrs. Nicholas and the Glee Club for a job well done. Back: Buchanan, Silvey, King, Householder, Lukes, Carl, Oliver, Branurn, Nicholas, G. Apffel, Majors.

Gareth Aden Tennessean All-AAA A; Second Team All-City Page 85 Russ Dilley Banner All-AAA A; Second Team All-City Bill Ozieu, Captain David Startup, Co-Captain Glencliff 33 — M.B.A. 7 In the Big Red’s opening game, Glencliff’s incomparable Colts rode the winged feet of Jerry Broadbent and Robert Verble to a smashing 33-7 win before a jam-packed crowd of 5,000 at Colt Stadium. Glencliff led 6-0 in the first quarter when M.B.A. recovered a fumble on the Glencliff three. Quarterback David Startup shoved it into the end zone from the one, and John Mazach con- verted for the point after. The Colt offense then shifted into high gear and had the Colts in front 19-7 at the half. The Maroons failed to score in the second half as Glencliff tallied once in each of the final two periods for their final score of 33-7. A bright spot for M.B.A. was the play of end Gareth Aden and halfback John Stephens. Page 86 John Mazach M.B.A. 18 — Donelson 7 After a disastrous opener at Glencliff, the Big Red showed signs of improvement in beating Donelson 18 to 7. Donelson scored first on a sustained drive that followed a Maroon fumble on the Donelson six. The extra point was good, and the Dons led 7 to 0. In the second period, however, Startup engineered a drive to the Don one-yard line where Hupka took it over. The extra point try failed. Later in the same period, Hupka again racked Donelson with a twenty-six yard dart to the double stripe, and the score at halftime was 12 to 7. The third quarter was a defensive battle and the last score came in the fourth period with Stephen’s thirty-five yard run to pay dirt. The extra point again failed and the conquering Maroons walked away with an 18 to 7 victory. Spike Hupka Page 87 John Stephens Tom Weaver M.B.A. 19 — Gallatin 7 The Big Red romped to its second straight victory by a score of 19 to 7 over the Green Wave in Gallatin. After taking a Gallatin punt, speedy John Atkins sped sixty yards down the sideline for a touchdown and an early lead of 6 to 0 when the try for the extra point was wide. Later in the same quarter the Big Red moved sixty-five yards to score on Startup’s 4-yard plunge. Hupka’s extra point attempt was good, and at halftime the score was 13 to 7 after a second-period Gallatin tally. M.B.A. then received the second-half kickoff and marched seventy yards in about eight plays, highlighted by a Startup-to- Hupka screen pass and a 40-yard T.D. sprint by Stephens. The defense did a fine job and Ozier, Dilley, and De Thompson were tough in the line play. Page 88 Ryan 13 ■ — M.B.A. 0 In its first Class AAAA game, Montgomery Bell Academy was defeated by Father Ryan 13 to 0 before a crowd of 3,500 at Frank Andrews Field. Playing perhaps too eagerly at times, the Maroons made several crucial mistakes that cost them the game. After a scoreless first half, M.B.A. had two deep penetrations into Ryan territory go for nought as the result of a pass intercep- tion and a fumble. Trailing 7-0 in the opening moments of the fourth quarter, M.B.A. drove to the Ryan 21 before a fumble halted their progress. From here Ryan went 79 yards for the clinching tally. Playing well for the Maroons were David Startup, who passed for 104 yards, John Stephens, Ric Braden, and Spike Hupka. Ben Gambill De Thompson Page 89 Tom Scarborough Johnny Atkins M.B.A. 14 — Madison 25 The Big Red offense punctured the previously invulnerable Ram defense but the Red defense had less success, and M.B.A. lost by two T.D.’s. The Big Red took the opening kickoff and quickly moved to the Ram 30 only to fumble. The Rams, making the most of this break, marched seventy yards to a score, and the lead was 6 to 0. In the second quarter, Startup scored from thirty-two yards out on a beautiful option play which climaxed a drive starting at the M.B.A. 48. John “The Toe” Mazach booted the PAT to put the Big Red in the lead at halftime 7 to 6. Madison immediately drove for a score in the third quarter only to see Hupka carry the pigskin in for an M.B.A. TD seconds later. This ended the Big Red’s scoring, however, and the swift Madison backs and hard-charging line pushed across for two more TD’s before the game ended. Showing great promise in future M.B.A. football games were Tom Weaver, Leslie Bedford, and De Thompson, all of whom did a line job for the Big Red. Page 90 Jim Daniel Springfield 7 — M.B.A. 6 M.B.A. made a gallant effort, but Coach Tommy Owen’s nine- year hold over Springfield ended on Friday, October 13, as the Yellow Jackets won a bitterly contested 7-6 decision at Frank Andrews Field. Sparked by Larry Matthews, Springfield drove 57 yards, and then Bob Calloway tallied from the 2. James Matthews ran across for what proved to be the winning extra point. M.B.A. scored on a 16-yard pass from Dave Startup to fresh- man Tom Weaver in the second period, but the all-important placement attempt was wide. In this homecoming tilt, halfback Tom Weaver led the M.B.A. offense, and tackle Russ Dilley did a fine job defensively. Pat Mulligan Page 91 Tupper Morehead Richard Worden M.B.A. 27 — Murfreesboro 14 Although it took M.B.A. a while to get started, they could not be stopped when they did, and they handed Murfreesboro a 27 to 14 defeat. The scoring was initiated by Tom Weaver, who raced 63 yards to paydirt. John Mazach then kicked the first of his three extra points. M.B.A. added another touchdown in the sec- ond period on John Mazach’s 1-yard plunge, but the Tigers tied it up 14-14 at the half. In the third period, De Thompson scored from four yards out and put the Big Red ahead to stay. In the final period, quarterback John Mazach found right end Phil Husband all alone in the secondary and hit him for a 35-yard touchdown pass. This tally ended the scoring for the night and gave M.B.A. a much- needed win. Page 92 M.B.A. 7 — Litton 27 On Oct. 27 on Frank Andrews Field, M.B.A. ran into what was considered by many Litton team members, the most fired-up squad in years. Litton scored twice on beautiful runs by speedster Billy Tom- linson before the Big Red could tally. This score was on an off-tackle play with Spike Hupka going 29 yeards. Before the half, Litton had scored again and the score stood at 20-7 at half-time. M.B.A. received the second-half kickoff but was forced to punt, and Litton scored their fourth touchdown, going ahead 27-7. Neither team moved the ball in the fourth quarter. The bright spot of the M.B.A. team was its defensive sec- ondary, which played an outstanding game all night. John Ste- phens, just returning to the lineup after an injury, was the leading ground gainer for the Big Red. Rob Purdy Phil Husband Page 93 Tommy Corcoran On November 12 neither M.B.A. nor Hillsboro made it out of the NIL’S Big Four cellar, as they battled to a 7-7 deadlock on the Burro’s held. The game was set in action when, in the first period, quarter- back John Mazach ran an option against a susceptible Hillsboro defensive corner and went for some 53 yards before being run out of bounds on the 3 yard line. However, the play was called back on account of some alleged clipping 35 yards behind the action of the play, and the Big Red stalled. Tom Weaver finally broke the scoring ice, going 15 yards to the end zone. John Mazach added the extra point, and at the half the score stood M.B.A. 7-Hillsboro 0. The second half saw a hred-up Hillsboro team come onto the held and score after an M.B.A. fumble on the Burro 47 yard line. Wilton Burnette scored the T.D. from 4 yards out and also added the all-important extra point. Quarterback Dave Startup almost gave the Big Red a win with a hne exhibition ot passing, but this ended when the Burros intercepted a toss on their own 2 yard line. Charlie Bryan Page 94 M.B.A. 7 — Hillsboro 7 Frederick Billings Kingsport 26 — M.B.A. 19 M.B.A. played a line game against heavily-favored Kingsport, the defending State Champion, but faded in the last quarter and dropped a 26-19 decision. Tied 13-13 going into the final period, Kingsport won when Art Brumet, 190-pound second string fullback, scored twice on runs of 33 and 3 yards after replacing Sam Bartholomew in the backfield. In the first half, Dave Startup passed to Rob Purdy for two touchdowns, on one of which Purdy made a beautiful 45-yard run to complete the 61-yard scoring play. The Maroons en- joyed a short-lived lead before a blocked punt tied it up for the Indians at halftime. Playing well for the Maroons as they closed their season were quarterbacks Dave Startup and John Mazach and end Rob Purdy.

A 49-33 win over Howard avenged an opening game loss to the same team in the previous season. The second game was a 42-50 loss to Cohn in the victor’s gym. Next, the Maroons whipped Ryan in one of the best games ever played by an M.B.A. team. After the Ryan victory, the club lost two in a row, the first a half-hearted affair at West, the sec- ond a heart-breaker to arch-rival B.G.A. In the Page 101 last two games before Christmas, the Maroons downed T.P.S., 53-37, and then absorbed a 38- 61 shellacking at the hands of Peabody’s Tigers. Determined to improve on a 3-4 record, the Big Red came back after vacation, and after a warm-up victory over North, soundly defeated. by a score of 55-45, the same Peabody team that had beaten them by 23 points just two games before. The determination seemed to take a vacation when the team lost to Cohn, 54-18, in the next game. In the annual game with Hillsboro, the team out-hussled the Burros on every count and won it, 39-38, after leading by nine points through most of the fourth quarter. After the Hillsboro win, the Big Red went into a losing streak and dropped four in a row in addition to losing the services of Center Russ Dilley for the season via a sprained ankle. The Maroons snapped the losing streak at T.P.S. with the highest score of the season, 56- 37. After the T.P.S. game, M.B.A. could not manage a win during the last five games of the regular season. One bright spot however, was a narrow 54-52 loss to the Lipscomb squad that had trounced the M.B.A. team by 27 points three weeks before the end of any tournament hopes. The last games of this basketball season saw several juniors in action. The shooting ability of these boys, which promises to be the best in years, should provide M.B.A. with a more suc- cessful season next year. In the District Tournament, the team first downed T.P.S., for the third time of the season. In the second game, M.B.A. led Cohn 19-13 at the half and played an excellent game, except for a fatal third period which spelled defeat and First Row: Brandon (Mgr.), Noel, Herbert, Sexton, Lowenthal, Bass, Todd, Burns, DeMoss (Mgr.).

The M.B.A. wrestling team did not have a good match record this year (won 0, lost 4), but it made much progress during the season, and wrestling was a great experience for each of the boys. This year the wrestling team had forty mem- bers, who were under the guidance of Coach John Nettleton. The most important thing that the boys got from wrestling was the discovery of what it takes to be a man. Each wrestler came into con- tact with aches and pains, sore muscles, hard work, and self-sacrifice. Through wrestling, each boy came to know the meaning and importance of a competitive spirit; he learned to accept the bitterness of defeat along with the glory of vic- tory. In a smaller way, teamwork and com- panionship were parts of the wrestling experience. Wrestling has been a great asset to the boys who participated in it this year. It has been fun; yet, it has made a better young man out of each wrestler. First Row: Elam, Risen, Ezzell, Fanning, Wells. Second Row: Schrader, Carlisle, Adams, Mellon, Orr.

Lou Farrell was top man in the league in in- dividual scores (Allen Kennedy was second in the league in this category last year.) The Rifle Team shoots on Wednesday after- noons in the Youth Incorporated League. All the shooting is done at Vanderbilt and all the guns and uniforms are furnished by the league and kept at the firing range. The boys were un- der the supervision of Sergeant Cox and Sergeant Minchey. The team and individual titles were decided on the basis of four meets held at the end of the season. All the shooting was done in the four classic positions: prone, sitting, kneeling, and offhand (standing). Congratulations are in order for Lou and for the whole team in honor of their top-flight performance. Page 1 1 1 Page 113 Although this year’s track team does not have quite enough depth to carry away any first place team trophies, there are some promising indi- viduals, and all of the relay teams have made good showings. Those who, as this article is written, have qualified for the Regional track meet are all four relay teams, Ronnie Jackson in the 220 John Stephens in both hurdle events, and Russ Dilley in the discus. Of these entries, three or four have a good chance of reaching the State meet in Mem- phis, May 19. Two school records have been broken this year. The two-mile relay team has clipped the record in that event twice, and Russ Dilley set a new school mark in the shot put. Frank Went- worth missed the school record in the broad jump by only l A inch, and Tommy Corcoran cleared 5 ' 7 in the high jump, just an inch short of the mark set by John Clay. There are some very good boys in the lower grades who appear to be championship material. Sophomore Phil Husband is putting the shot 44 feet and freshman Clifton Sobel is getting 50 feet with the 8-lb shot. A bevy of fine runners in Ronnie Jackson, Tom Weaver, Hunter Husband, Bill Geny, Dave Dilley, Pat Woods, and others should be setting some new records and be keep- ing up their winning habits for several more years. First Row: Ezzell, Meacham, Perry, Englert, Sumpter, Lowenthal, B. Harwell, Orman, Oakley, Moore, Birmingham, Mulligan, Morehead, Wentworth. Second Row: Weaver, Orr, Carothers, Lentz, Adams, Hollins, Herbert, Jackson, Daniel, Gambill, Billings, Carter. Third Row: Stephens, Tiesler, McAdams, Corcoran, Husband, Dilley, W. Harwell, Doyle, Mooty, Scarborough, Wray (Mgr.). Sitting: Hupka, Purdy, Atkins, Smith, Bedford, Aden, Mazach, Startup. Standing: Williams (Mgr.), Nicholas, Fore- hand, Lucas, Worden. Judd, Kennell, Householder, Coach Matlock. Baseball is a sport that has come a long way at Montgomery Bell Academy in the past few years. Last year’s club ended up third in the N.I.L., and came very close to the championship. That same team is the one that has played this year’s schedule, with the loss of only two boys from last year’s team. Although the Maroons undoubtedly missed the services of John Myhr in the infield and at the plate, the strong right arm of pitcher, John Mazach, and the hitting of Johnny Atkins, Gordon Smith, and others seem to be bearing the burden quite well as this is written. This team is a tribute to the hard work that these boys and Coach Matlock have put in during the season, in summer baseball, and in the ex- tensive sub-varsity program. With so many boys playing baseball and gaining valuable experience, M.B.A. should enjoy good baseball teams for a long time to come. Page 115 T ennis This year’s tennis team, directed by Coach Jim Rule, is shooting for its eighteenth straight NIL crown. Returning from last year’s first team are Bobo Buntin, Johnny Glover, Jim Braden, and Frank Bass. Filling in the spaces vacated by last year’s seniors are Greer Cummings, Johnny Reed, Steve Trautman, and Don Crichton. The M.B.A. squad will travel to Chattanooga this year for the Southern Tennis Tournament and will be playing such teams as Memphis Uni- versity School, Darlington, SMA, CMA, Chatta- nooga City, and Castle Heights. In NIL circles, David Lipscomb could prove to be stiff competition for the Championship. However, the prospects are favorable that Mr. Rule’s team will win its 18th NIL Championship in as many years. Coach Rule, Braden, Glover, Bass, Buntin, Reed, Trautman, Crichton, Cummings. Kneeling: Billy Gourley, Mac Clayton, De Thompson. Standing: Sims Crownover, John Hutton, Chip Baker. Although the golf team is not expected to re- peat as the City Champion again this year, never- theless it should have a good season. The team made a trip to Chattanooga at the beginning of the season, and as this article is being written, they are tied for second place i n the N.I.L. The six boys who represent the school on the links are De Thompson, Chip Baker, John Hutton, Billy Gourley, Mac Clayton, and Sims Crownover. Of this group, two are juniors, two are sophomores, and two are freshmen. With all this talent returning next year Dr. Sager should have a very good team and be able to make another run at the title.
