published student body montgomery bell academy nashville, tennessee 6 4 bell editor kirk todd business manager david buttrey t Day at M. B. A., We Strive to Grow • • To those of us who have known the school on the Hill for a long time, M.B.A. is a never-to-be-forgotten experience. It is on the Hill that we have grown up; it is here that we will return after the battle of life is finished; it is here that our hearts will always be. Thanks t6 Mr. Carter and the Faculty, the Academy holds one of the nation ' s really favorable academic standings. The class has now become the number one force behind M.B.A. daily life. M.B.A. is an academic whole revolving about the joy of learning. Athletically The Big Red football team opened the 1963-4 athletic campaigns with the Metro Bowl championship. Behind this momentum the various varsity squads went on to bigger and better things; such as, the NIL tennis championship and an excellent wrestling team. The future of M.B.A. athletics seems bright behind the nucleus of many returning lettermen. Social life plays one of the important roles in the life of an M.B.A. boy. The weekend society whirl allows for a gentle relaxation, a recapping of the week ' s trials, and the opportunity to meet that someone special. As an individual at Montgomery Bell, a student is never forced into the conformity of a large school. Here, the teachers respect the boys as human beings, each with his own needs and desires. Individualism is one of the component parts of the M.B.A. system; individualism is one of the forces that help develop the M.B.A. man. The editors and staff of the 1964 BELL respectfully dedicate the publication of this year ' s edition to Mr. James Poston. Mr. Poston, who has for four years directed the M.B.A. Players, is one of the people who will forever influence our lives; he will always be a mold, the soft hand of guidance which has helped us grow. We can hardly express the thanks in our hearts for the time and patience that Mr. Poston has selflessly given us. It is with deep and sincere gratitude that we thank Mr. Poston with our humble gift, the 1964 BELL. Dedicated to Mr. James Poston 13 Chairman of the Board MR. JOHN E. SLOAN Secretary MR. FERRISS C.

SEVENTH GRADE CLASS 53 Organizations 54 Mine honor is my liie; both row in one; take honor from me. and life is done” WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Iniation into Ihe honorary fraternity, Totomoi, is the highest honor an M.B.A. may receive. A student, in order to qualify for such a worthy accolade, must accumulate a specific number of points in two major fields and one minor field. These various academic areas include scholarship, athletics, organizations, publica- tions, and leadership. The boys tapped for membership this year were Frank Bass, Fredric Billings, Jim Lowenthal, Mike Mooty, and John Stifler. After the tapping.

The club endeavors to develop leadership and to provide assistance in school functions. This year several members, under the guidance of Mr. Gentry, cleaned out and organized the attic of the Ball Building. During the basketball season, the mem- bers act as ushers and ticket- takers. The Service Club is one of the most useful organizations on campus. Service Cliib Officers: Thompson, Billings, Ezzell, Lentz. Service Club Members. 60 The Hi-Y Club Promotes Christian Spirit on the Campus The Hi-Y Club, a subsidiary organization of the YMCA. has firmly established itself as an integral part of Montgomery Bell Academy. The purpose as stated in its constitution, is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. This year the club sponsored two basketball teams in the junior league and one team in the senior league. During the Gray-Y football season, the M.B.A. Hi-Y Club oper- ated the refreshment stand at the Onion Bowl. In various other ways, the club has bolstered both the spirit and the unity of the student body. 61 Hi-Y Club Members. Hi-Y Club Officers: Thompson, Secretary-Treasurer; Ezzell, Vice-president; Billings, President; Stifler, Chaplin. Forensic Club Officers: Stanford, Program Chairman; Stifler, Vice-president; Sobel, Secretary-Treasurer; Mooty, President. “As a Man Speaks So Is He” PUBILIUS SYRUS By means of the Forensics Club, Montgomery Bell strives to foster a proficiency in public declamation among her students. Although Speech is required in the freshman year, a student can find other ample areas of forensic improvement in the organization. Specific divisions of original declamation, poetry and dramatic interpretation, humorous oratory, and ex- temporaneous speaking provide intellectual stimula- tion to the members of the Forensics Club. Each year various members enter highly competitive forensic meets to display the degree of excellence they have attained. Under the competent leadership of Mrs. Norton Campbell, M.B.A. sponsored a very success- ful debating and speaking tournament. Forensic Club Members. -t. J . i ..

During the 1964 debate season, the Hill was graced with one of the most experienced negative teams in past decades, Mike Mooty and Mike Brandon. Cou- pled with two skillful and ardent affirmative speakers, Rick Evans and Tom Howell, M.B.A. was looking for- ward to participating in many of the fine debate tour- naments held throughout the South. The debate question for this year was Resolved, That social security benefits should be extended to include com- plete medical care for the aged. While the young affirmative team continued to improve their case, the negative team encountered difficulty in establishing a solid refutation. At the end of the year however, the debate team encouraged by the success of M.B.A. ' s prolific extemporaneous speaker, Jim Low- enthal, combined to give Mrs. Campbell a year of success.

CHURCH Annually, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation offers competitive scholarships to high school seniors across the country. Approx- imately 13,000 applicants score sufficiently well in a preliminary test to become semi-finalists. According to results on the College Entrance Examinations 97% of the semi-finalists attain the finalist ranks and of these finalists 8% are awarded grants, ranging from $100 to $1500. Even if a finalist does not receive a monetary gift, the honor of his scholastic achievement will usually enable him to gain financial aid at the college of his choice. 65 New Club leads Spirit on The Hill The Big Red Club is the newest club to be added to M.B.A. ' s growing list of extracurricular organiza- tions. Founded in the summer preceding this school year by President Brugh Reynolds, the club has be- come a leader in campus activities. Among the many functions sponsored by the club under the able guidance of Mr. Tony Edmonds are dances after athletic contests, selling shakers and monogrammed cards, and furnishing rides to all away games during the football and basketball sea- sons. This club, whose main purpose is to install school spirit into the student body, has definitely become a fixture for future years on The Hill.

The club, estab- lished around a nucleus of past performers, states its purpose in the first article of its constitution: to pro- mote the interest, appreciation, and excellence of dramatics at M.B.A. To be a member of the society, a student must satisfactorily take part in at least one production each year as an actor, stage manager, or publicity agent. This year the Players performed Thornton Wilder ' s three-act play Our Town to a wildly approving, overflow audience at Wallace Hall. In addition to this major production, smaller companies were organized in the spring and performed a series of one-act plays with seniors in the capacity of direc- tors. Dramatic Club Members 67 Editor-in-chiel KIRK TODD The success of this annual depends solely upon the work and dedication of the BELL staff. Under ihe direction of Editor Kirk Todd and Business Manager David Buttrey, the organiza- tion spends many hours compiling and editing the material for the book you are now reading. The contributing sub-staffs sincerely hope that you, the student body, will derive longlasting • pleasure from this work.

M.B.A. QUARTERBACKS Woody Husband, Lee Noel, Jim Ezzell 84 M.B.A. 6— GLENCLIFF 13 M.B.A. made its 1964 debut at Glencliff to duel the Colts before an overflow crowd. The Colts, holding their Jinx over pounded out a shocking 13-6 win. Glencliff dominated first half action as the Colts raced to a 13-0 half-time advantage. M.B.A. was unable to gen- erate a drive, plagued both by penalties and by fumbles. In the second half, however, a different Big Red team took the field. Led by De Thompson and Jim Lowenthal, the fired-up Montgomery Bell defense contained the Colt offensive attack, holding the Colts scoreless for the entire second half. In the fourth quarter, M.B.A. quarterback Jim Ezzell hit Hunter Husband with a sixty-yard touchdown pass, M.B.A. ' s only score. The Big Red tried desperately to score again, however, time ran out and the game ended in a disappoint- ing 13-6 loss. Thompson goes for extra yairdage. DeWITT THOMPSON Ezzell prepares to run over a few Dons. M.B.A. 39— DONELSON 7 Montgomery Bell Academy romped to its first win of the season by walloping Donelson 39-7. M.B.A. was a far su- perior team to the one which had lost to Glencliff a week earlier. Hunter Husband was the leading ground gainer for the Red team with 96 yards rushing. Jim Ezzell kept the Dons ' defenses loose as the senior quarterback scored one touch- down, emd was responsible for another with a thirty-five yard scoring pass to Pat Woods. DeWitt ' Thompson and Mike Mooty also scored in the victory. Another highlight of the night was an electrifying twenty-five yard i ass from halfback Sam Herbert to Tom Weaver. ' The M.B.A. offensive was at its best as it rolled for twenty-one first downs and over 440 yards in total offense. PHIL HUSBAND Herbert heads for six points M.B.A. 40— GALLATIN 0 On September 20 Gallatin ' s Green Wave fell victim to M.B.A. to the tune of 40-0. Gallatin was never in the game as M.B.A. quarterback Jim Ezzell initiated the scoring with a 76 yard jaunt mid- way in the first period. Moments later, Ezzell tossed an 18 yard pass to halfback Tom Weaver for another score. Late in the half. Ezzell once again connected on a 56 yarder to Phil Husband putting the Big Red well ahead at intermis- sion. Early in the third quarter, halfback Hunter Husband took the ball over the goal line from 17 yards out. Lee Noel put the linishing touches on the lopsided victory by pitch- ing touchdown passes to Sam Herbert and Phil Husband. Hunter Husband did a fine job running, while both Jim Ezzell and Lee Noel did excellent jobs calling signals. FRED BILUNGS 88 M3. A. 13— RYAN 20 Noel churns for extra yards. After leaving their annual trademark on the school a week earlier, Ryan knocked Montgomery Bell out of Big Eight title contention with a 2.0-13 win. Ryan scored the first time they handled the ball; how- ever, M.B.A. was in the game all the way in what many officials termed as the hardest hitting high school football game they had ever .c.een. In second period action, Ed .Anderson blocked a Ryan punt which DeWitt Thompson recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. Tom Weaver ' s extra point tied the score at 7-7. M.B.A. was unable to move the ball and managed to get near Ryan ' s goal line only after big Phil Husband re- covered a Panther fumble on the seven yard line. Three plays later, Lee Noel took the ball over for a touchdown. The point after was no good and Ryan led 14-13. Ryan scored again in the fourth quarter to wrap up the game 20-13. The Big Red lost the game despite tremendous efforts by Anderson, Weaver, and Mike Howard. CHUCK BURNS 89 M.B.A. 14— MADISON 14 Montgomery Bell Academy clashed with Madison at Frank Andrews Field in an important league game which ended in a 14-14 deadlock. Madison took an early 7-0 lead when Ram fullback Ron- nie Smith cracked over from the two yard line into pay- dirt; Dale Brady kicked the point after. M.B.A., however, retaliated with two second period scores, the first coming on a one yard plunge by Big Red quarterback Lee Noel, and the second on Tom Weaver ' s sixty-two yard pass inter- ception. De Thompson added both extra points and M.B.A. led at half time 14-7. Madison dominated second half action. Chuck Boyd, Ram Ouaiterback, scored on a ten yard run; Brady again added the extra point tying the score at 14-14. Madison drove again early in the fourth quarter but fumbled on the M.B.A. six yard line. M.B.A. could not move the ball and was forced to give it up to Madison on downs. Madison generated a drive late in the game but was penalized. A field goal was attempted to no avail. Tom Weaver played well on offense, while De Thomp- son and Richard Worden did excellent jobs on defense.

I I MJB.A. 27— SPRINGFIELD 7 To celebrate Homecoming with a boom, the Big Red handed Springfield, the fifth ranked team in the state, a stunning 27-7 setback. M.B.A. scored on their first series of downs, climaxed by Lee Noel ' s one yard sneak. The Big Red defense held fast; nevertheless, late in the half, Springfield recovered an M.B.A. fumble and managed a score on a fourth down play. In second half action Mongomery Bell racked up three touchdowns and held the Jackets scoreless. Lee Noel scored his second touchdown of the night with a three yard scamper. Tom Weaver added two scores with a forty-two yard punt return and a twenty-five yard pass interception. DeWitt Thompson played one of his finest games as he piled up over one hundred yards on the ground. Thompson, along with Tupper Morehead, headed M.B.A. ' s defense, limiting All-State fullback Ronnie Bell to only thirty yards rushing. MIKE MOOTY 91 TUPPER MOREHEAD M.B.A. 39— WEST 6 Hunter Husband Rambles over two. On October 18 M.B.A. jaunted to neighboring West High School and handily walloped an obviously fired-up but inferior West eleven 39-6. In the closing moments of the first quarter, M.B.A. back Tom Weaver broke loose for a stunning eighty-one yard touchdown run. Lee Noel added the point after and the Big Red took a 7-0 lead. Shortly after, in the second quarter. Hunter Husband cracked the West fore wall for a score, followed by Wea- ver ' s conversion. Moments later Husband again scored on an eight yard sprint, giving M.B.A. a 20-0 edge at half. Pat Woods ' eight yard touchdown sprint was the only score in the third period. Quarterback Jim Ezzell was first to score in the fourth quarter. West managed a score via a blocked punt and four offensive plays. Later however, M.B.A. retaliated with a thirty-one yard touchdown pass from Ezzell to Sam Herbert. The final score was 39-6, giv- ing the Big Red its fourth win of the season. TOM FOREHAND M.B.A. 20— LITTON 6 JIM LOWENTHAL At 8:00 P.M. on October 25, the Litton Lions kicked off to Montgomery Bell to open a crucial Big Eight game. After three unsuccessful attempts to crack the Litton defense, M.B.A. dropped into punt formation; Ed Anderson went back to kick. Unable to control a low center, Ander- son was forced to duck three charging Lions. From there he went around right end and outraced the Litton defenses for a sixty yard touchdown run. The attempt for the extra point was unsuccessful, and the Big Red retired to kick off after less than three minutes of play. At the end of the first period, Anderson got his second touchdown of the game on a beautiful pass from quarterback Lee Noel. Noel converted for the extra point and M.B.A. led 13 to 0 at the half. Early in the fourth period, De Thompson carried the pigskin into the end zone for the third and final Maroon score. Hunter Husband kicked the extra point to put the icing on the cake. Litton scored late in the game with an intercepted lateral and was unable to push their extra point across. The game ended in a Big Red victory, 20-6. Anderson picks up blocking. 93 M.B.A. 32— FRANKLIN 7 On Thursday night October 31, Montgomery Bell Acad- emy rolled to a 32-7 victory over an outmanned Franklin eleven. M.B.A. drew first blood on Hunter Husband ' s forty-two yard touchdown run with a screen pass from quarterback Lee Noel. However, Franklin equalized the score late in the half, capitalizing on an intercepted pass. M.B.A. came back after the ensuing kickoff with a nifty thirty-three yard touchdown pass from Noel to Tom Wea- ver. The quick score broke the Rebels ' back, and from then on M.B.A. dominated play. Later, both Weaver and Hus- band scored again on runs of four and fifteen yards respec- tively. Woody Husband also put six points on the scoreboard with a pass from Jim Ezzell. Jim Lowenthal did a fine job running the ball, gaining 73 of M.B.A. ' s 179 yards rushing. Lowenthal moves out on Franklin. JIM A BICHARD WORDEN ROY ELAM Herbert breaks up a Btixto pass. M.B.A. 33— HILLSBORO 7 On October 9 the Big Red used the long scoring bombs to demoralize Hillsboro with a 33-7 shellacking. Junior quarterback Lee Noel fired his second touchdown F ass early in the fourth period, a fifty-nine yard bull ' s-eye to Ed Anderson. Anderson ' s score put the tilt out of Hillsboro ' s reach (20-7) and the Burro defenses withered. Later, Hunter Husband stormed sixty yards to the goal line, followed by Pat Woods ' thirty-five yard pass interception for still another score. M.B.A. put the long scoring plays to good use, however, it was a one yard plunge by Noel which put the Red ahead to stay with 8:12 remaining in the third period. Noel was a sparkler for Montgomery Bell as the fleet back not only scored a touchdown, but also threw a first p eriod touchdown pass to Phil Husband plus his p ass to Anderson. ' The win gave the Big Red a 7-2-1 regular season mark; the loss gave the Butter Bowl bound Burros a 7-3 record. M.B.A. 26— RED BANK 14 To top off a successful season, M.BiA. was invited to play a highly rated Red Bank eleven from Chattanooga in the first edition of the Metro Bowl. In four bruising quar- ters of hard-nosed football, M.B.A. topped the east staters with a 26-14 victory. Hunter Husband put Montgomery Bell ' s first talley on the scoreboard, when, on the first series of downs, the burly halfback ripped loose for a thirty-seven yard sprint to the end zone. Red Bank, however, retaliated with a score, and added the conversion to take a 7-6 first quarter lead. In the second period, M.B.A. halfback Tom Weaver car- ried the ball for a twelve-yard score and added the extra point himself giving the Big Red a 13-7 half time lead. Red Bank, however, came crashing back in the third quarter and drove for a touchdown. With the conversion, M.B.A. fell behind 14-13 at the end of the quarter. M.B.A. bounced back as Lee Noel wedged his way into the end zone from the one, with ten minutes left in the game. Hunter Husband added the point after and M.B.A. regained the lead 20-14. With only eight seconds left in the game, sophomore back Woody Husband barrelled across the goal line from the one to give M.B.A. its sixth con- secutive victory, and a total of eight wins in eleven starts. In ceremonies at the conclusion of the game, M.B.A. ' s Hunter and Woody Husband were named the game ' s most outstanding back and lineman respectively. KEN AGEE Tom Weaver scores from the twelve.

MICROBE FOOTBALL TEAM But there is more than winning to this game, Where I ' ve seen countless thousands give their best, Give all they had to find the road to fame. And barely fail against the closing test. There names are lost now with the swift and strong, Yet in the final rating they belong. For there some who never reach the top. Who in my rating hold a higher place Than many wearing crowns against the drop Of life ' s last curtain in the bitter race. Who stand and fight amid a bitter brood. Knowing the matchless gift of fortitude. Far off I hear the rolling, roaring cheers. They come to me from many yesterdays. From record deeds that cross the fading years. And light the landscape with their brilliant plays, Great stars that knew their days in fame ' s bright sun. I hear them trampling to oblivion. — GRANTLAND RICE The Tumult and the Shouting 99 MICROBE INIRAMURU SQUADS First Row: Bloodworth, Rose, Caldwell, Rebrovick, Richard- son, Woodcock, Bramham, Martin, Head.

BASKETBAll The varsity basketball team ended the 1963-4 season with a 7-17 won- lost record. Under the direction of coaches Bob Polk and John Bennett, The Big Red gradually improved as the season progressed. Montgomery Bell started the season with four consecutive defeats. Following a valiant game at Peabody, the team got a well-deserved win at North in double overtime, 58-51. Great defensive play by Hunter Husband brought a 36- 26 win over Franklin. After falling to Clarksville and B.G.A., the Red took off for mid-term exams. Exam-week training brought on a new look with the addition of sopho- mores Dent Shillinglaw, Tommy DeMoss, David Hyatt, Jim Burge, and Greer Cummings. These sophomores joined Frank Bass, Lee Noel, Joel Parrish, and Steve Trautman. After victories at T.P.S. and Hume-Fogg; the results of these additions was seen in a surprising upset over highly tauted David Lipscomb. The season ended with a double overtime tournament win over Mt. Juliet and a final loss to 18th District champs Ryan.

WRESTLING Up to now the wrestling team has always been a wait until next year group. This year ' s team has finally been able to prove itself worthy of the M.B.A. name. Under the able leadership of Coaches Charlie Cornelius and Holt Smith, with co-captains Tupper Morehead and Don Wells, the matrrien, who had previously won only one match in three years, compiled a rec- ord of four wins, three losses, and one tie. To open the season the Red Grapplers met a cocky CMA team. CMA left the M.B.A. cam- pus with a slightly less than cocky air after a 26-21 defeat. Behind ten points with only three matches to go, the Big Red went on to win with successive wins by Tommy Gambill, Jim- my Baldwin, and Tupper Morehead. Due to exams the next week, the team conditioning was off somewhat and resulted in a loss to SMA. Reaching its full potential in a tremendous m.atch with B.G.A., the team emerged with a good 38-8 victory. The following week the wrestlers traveled to Sewanee where they were tied by St. Andrews, 28-28. After a six-point set- back at CMA, the Big Red joumied to Franklin for a return match with B.G.A., which also ended in victory, 28-18. Next follov ed a devastating win over a nov- ice Father Ryan team, and there followed the first four-way meet in M.B.A. history. The team was a close second to the Tennessee School fo r the Blind and won the first wrestling trophy to put in the wrestling trophy case. The State Meet was the final meet on the 1964 wrestling agenda, and Bill Fanning finished off the year becoming the first M.B.A. wrestler to place in state competition. With this year ' s team composed of seven seniors, three juniors, five sophomores, one freshman, and one eighth-grader, M.B.A. can look forward to even more in the years to come. no Billings scrambles for pin.

Ill This year ' s rifle team was sponsored, as in the past, by Youth Incorporated, In the fourteen- team league, the Big Red finished the season in third place. This team, coached by Coach George Kirkpatrick, was starred by captain Lou Farrell who, incidentally, finished third in the city in the year ' s overall standings. The Rifle Team is considered a minor activity on the Hill; but, in the estimation of some, the fine art of gunsmanship should be awarded the respect due a major sport.

The team showed real fortitude in com- ing away with the first win of the season despite so little practice. The sprint relay teams showed a great deal of promise for the future as well as Bill Geny, who won the 880 run with one of the best times in the N.I.L. The following week already proven hurdler Bobby Harwell showed that he could do other things as he broke the M.B.A. broad jump rec- ord on his first attempt in Big Red competition. Hunter Husband, also a proven sprinter, has developed even more speed this year and should be one of the fastest sprinters in the N.I.L. 115 Mike Howard tallies for the Big Red. Gordon Smith delivers a hard, high one. This year the Montgomery Bell Academy baseball squad, bolstered by a strong nucleus of returning lettermen, is being coached by Coach John Bennett. These returnees and Coach Bennett hope to return M.B.A. to its former base- ball power. The returnees include captains Gordon Smith, Leslie Bedford, and Tommy Forehand. Jack Judd, David Hyatt, and Paul Wells are other lettermen expected to lead the Big Red team. Newcomers Ed Anderson and Woodie Hus- band are also expected to provide a great help for the team in the form of the sorely needed hitting power that Coach Bennett is looking for. One of the highlights of the season was a well-played 7-3 triumph over West Rome, 1961- 62 Georgia State Champions. The team hopes to add to this victory a good N.I.L. record which does not seem so far away now. Mr. John Bennett huddles with tri-captains Gordon Smith Leslie Bedford, and Tommy- Forehand.

TENNIS The tennis team, under the direction of Coach Jim Rule, is seeking its 20th N.I.L. Cham- pionship in the last 21 years. N.I.L. singles champ Frank Bass, Steve Trautman, Buzz Beau- champ, Jim Braden, and Greer Cummings are backed this year by Tom Bailey, Trevor Evans, and newcomers Rusty Lawerence and Charlie Nelson. In the fall season, the team made a trip to Chattanooga, where it played McCallie and Baylor. Although Montgomery Bell lost both matches 5-4, the team forshadowed the fall of Chattanooga ' s long-standing Southern tennis supremacy. This spring in addition to playing the regular N.I.L. schedule, the team plans to make two more trips to Chattanooga, including participa- tion in the Southern Rotary Tournament. A highlight of the season, as it was last year, will be the Harpeth Hall match where the team is sure to make out well. This match and the expected successful defense of the N.I.L. Cham- pionship should round out another great season for Coach Jim Rule and the rest of the team. 118 GOIF 1964 should prove to be a rebuilding season for the Montgomery Bell Golf Team, although the team presently has great potential. Chip Baker and Jimbo Cook, a junior and a sopho- more respectively, are playing in the number one and two positions., supported by Rusty Davis, Bill Berry, John Hutton, Bill Tyne, and Archie Arnold. Under the coaching of Dr. R. L. Sager, the group plans to take two trips to Chat- tanooga hoping to gain valuable, and much needed experience. With an eye toward the future, the season should prove to be most successful. Cook putts an eight footer. 120 Chip Baker tees off. 55 First Row: Chip Baker, Jimbo Cook, Rusty Davis, Bill Berry.
