THE BELL 1966 Published by the student body of MONTGOMERY BELL ACADEMY Nashville, Tennessee ALFRED SHARP Editor JOSEPH STRAYHORN Business Manager 1 TRADITION AND BALANCE WITH The gate to the school grounds as it ap- peared in 1921, before Harding Road was the huge boulevard it is today. Pictures such as this appeared frequently in earlier MBA publications, when aerial shots were within the realm of economic feasibility. The main building is in the foreground, to its left the old auditorium, now the Old Science Building. In the rear is what was then the gymnasium, the present Wallace Hall. The new gym and the football field had not yet been built Montgomery Bell Academy is a private school established in deep tradition. At MBA respect for tradition and institution continues in a rapidly progressing society. Progress, on the other hand, has equal meaning here, for progress in education is what maintains MBA’s excellence as a prep- school; progress in other fields prepares an MBA student for the quickly advancing life in our world. Indeed, tradition and progress are in balance with each other. PROGRESS IN I EACH OTHER . . . Before 1924, when the main building burned down, it was a copy of a Virginia plantation. Here the building exhibits the “down-south” flavor which is a part of its tradition. The school building of 1913, in what is now the heart of downtown Nashville. ' A- . The new, modern gymnasium, dedicated in 1957, which made possible the conversion of the old gym into Wallace Hall. A front view of the Ball Building, which replaced the building that burned down in 1924. It is named in honor of Isaac Ball, headmaster for thirty years, who, even after his retirement, gave many more years in service to the school. Once the old gym, Wallace Hall is now a magnificent auditorium and study hall, with classrooms in the lower level. a An attractive recent addition to the cam- pus is the Warren Taylor Memorial Foun- tain, which stands across the patio from the Ball Building. The exit gate as it appears now. It is as old as the school itself. CREATE A UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE OE APPRECIATION. Who can deny the importance of social life in high school? The quest for amusement is not a development of our modern society. Moreover, it is hard to define progress in the social life of a young adult. Only the method and expression in the pursuit of fun has changed. Now “combos’ and popular dance steps replace dance bands and the fox-trot and the automobile has supplemented and extended social life. Movies are still very popular. In the modern world, fun and social life are simply faster and more alive. There have always been school dances; change has only come in the dance steps and the clothes. The combo after homecoming, a far cry from the “Prom” above. A scene reminiscent of modern hootenannies. The victorious 1955 football team charges across Dudley Field, having won the Clinic Bowl and the State Championship. nc FOR THE PAST AND FOR THE FUTURE It is remarkable that MBA, as relatively small as it is, can, year after year, participate so success- fully in interscholastic sports. Indeed, MBA’s fine athletic tradition reaches much further into the past than its reputation as an excellent academic institution. MBA has introduced to this area many of its presently favorite sports, and the recent ath- letic teams have more than done their part to uphold MBA’s heritage of athletic superiority. Progress plays an important part in sports. If we ignored the advances in equipment, technique, and execution of strategy that have taken place, MBA would fall far behind its competition. The one element that is never ignored or disregarded as passe is gentlemanly conduct and sportsmanship. The tradition of sportsmanship can only be supple- mented by progress. It is perhaps for this reason that MBA teams have retained their position as athletic leaders in the community. Bill Blair gains ground in a 1965 football game. A game in the old gym, in the days of “tackle basketball. ' A sign of progress — the first basketball trophy in two decades. ON A FOUNDATION OF THE PAST The basic purpose of any school is to educate — in the classics, in mathematics, in languages and history and English. In truth, all other activities, though both necessary and important, must be con- sidered extra-curricular. There is no need for lengthy dissertations on the qualifications of Mont- gomery Bell Academy to educate; it is simply one of the finest schools in the South, whose academic rating is very high throughout the country. This is important when college applications are made. Institutions of higher learning recognize that MBA has given each of its students the best possible preparation for college. This always is progress, gratifying progress. Education at MBA consists of the best of tradi- tion and progress — tradition in everlasting courses such as Latin and history; progress in the advanced theoretical mathematics or in the extremely modern language lab. Indeed, as in every other phase of MBA school life, the best of past and present is combined to create the excellence that is MBA. The present lab, with excellent facilities for study in every scientific field. 9 WE BUILD FOR THE FUTURE This then is MBA: a school rich in heritage yet progressing to meet the demands of a modem society. In an atmosphere at once conservative and progressive, the MBA student is molded into a man capable of coping with this society: a responsive and responsible human being. These young men, moreover, are MBA. The campus is a mere skeleton, lifeless without its stu- dent body. Tradition and progress have no meaning unless they serve to heighten and enrich the educa- tion of MBA’s students. It is in the pictures on these last two pages, therefore; that the tme Mont- gomery Bell Academy is depicted. DEDICATION The governing force of MBA is its Board of Trustees.

He has indisputably made the school what it is today; and he maintains, with efforts often unappreciated, MBA’s reputation as one of the finest schools in the South. Ceaselessly working as administrator, teacher, and counselor, Mr. Carter’s dedi- cation to the school and to integrity re- flects itself in each of MBA’s achievements. 7 FACULTY CRAWFORD ALEXANDER B.S., MTSG; Junior School.

Whatever the school accomplishes is, in large part, due to the efforts of the seniors. Far surpassing any of its expectations, this year’s senior class has brought distinction to itself and to the school through its accomplishments. Throughout the school year, the seniors have provided the student body with outstanding leader- ship in every facet of the school life. Scholastically, the class demonstrates its excellence by producing the second-highest total of Merit Scholarship Finalists, by far the greatest number of Letter of Commendation Winners, and an unprecedented two National Merit Scholars. In Athletics, the basketball team, composed largely of Seniors, cap- tured the 18 th district tournament crown, the first basketball trophy in two decades. The wrestling team, spearheaded by seniors, compiled an unde- feated, un-tied season, winning both the N.I.L. and Regional championships. In the field of organizations, this class has shown great energy and imagination, rewriting several obsolete club constitutions and expanding the membership and endeavors of each organization. The constitution and selection standards of To- tomoi, the school’s honorary fraternity, were re- vised by this year’s membership; and in the most revolutionary and significant action of the school year, the Honor Council proposed three amend- ments to the Honor Code of which the student body adopted two. Journalism reached a new peak of excellence in this year’s publications, creating a new feeling of enthusiasm for the once-drab newspaper and an- nual. Endowed with a new kind of imagination and a fresh journalistic style, the paper staff trans- formed its once-lifeless publication into a well- written, well-designed, sophisticated piece of litera- ture. The very same talent and creativity went into the publication of this annual. For all their excellence and accomplishments, however ' , that which distinguishes this class is the unique ability of its members to have fun, and their refreshing outlook on life and study. Many MBA senior classes are excellent, and many have accomplished as much as this one, but few have had such an outlook, and few will do as well in later life. 5 ( BILL BRADLEY, treasurer; O-OT SARRAT vice- president; ALF SHARP, secretary; MIKE HOWARD, president.

Sager, Totomoi is an honorary fraternity which provides recognition for those boys who have made outstanding contributions to the school in their years at MBA. To attain membership, a boy must excel in at least three of the following fields: scholarship, athletics, student government, organi- zations, and publications. The Bell congratulates each of the boys who has achieved membership in Totomoi. Totopotomoi gave his name, in shortened version, to MBA’s honorary fraternity. 7 First Row: Barrett Sutton, Chris Riddell, Tom Nesbitt. Second Row: Jimmy Luton, Sandy Haury, Alex Nichol- son.

HONOR COUNCIL The Honor Council was founded by the student body in 1945 in order to promote a strong sense of honor in the school. According to its constitution, an MBA boy will neither lie, cheat, or steal; a pledge is signed on every piece of work handed in to the effect that the student has not cheated in any way. Boys found guilty of any of these offences are subject to disciplinary action as recommended by the Honor Council, composed entirely of stu- dents. This year the Honor Council revised by amend- ment its constitution in order to clarify certain am- biguities and to provide a better working system. Honor is a highly esteemed virtue at MBA, and the fact that the Honor Council is working and pro- gressing assures that integrity will remain a part of MBA life. 73 First Row: Barry Banker, Peter Power, Mike Howard, president; Bert Dale, Gordon Peerman, Tom Roady, Johnny Bracewell, Hoot Sarratt, vice-president; Ricky Dyer, Collins Landstreet. Second Row: Bill Bradley, treasurer; Alf Sharp, secretary; Mike Tidwell, Robbie Quinn, Jay Bowen, Buddy Sanders. STUDENT COUNCIL Composed of the class officers of each of the four high school classes, the Student Council serves to aid the faculty in the administration of the school and to make recommendations concerning dis- ciplinary problems. These young men, the leaders of their respective classes, act collectively as a group to whom important matters concerning the student body are referred for an opinion. The Student Council has, in the last few years assumed more and more of the responsibility for the direction of the school. The successful student government at MBA is both a source of great pride to the students and an indication of their mature outlook. 74 Shahan, Rusty Lawrence, Bill Terry, Benny Meeks.

SERVICE CLUB Formerly the Key Club, the Service Club is a selective organization whose purpose is to provide services to the school in areas where it would be otherwise neglected. High character, scholastic pro- ficiency, and school contributions are required to be initiated into this club. Taking up money and tickets at basketball games, ushering, and gather- ing up canned goods for the poor are typical activities of this organization. Without the aid of this club, all the preparations for the open house given for the parents of appli- cants each spring would have been in vain, for members stayed after a basketball game to help clean up and prepare. Indeed, the service club is an invaluable asset to the school when there is a task to be done. 76 BIG RED CLUB OFFICERS — Joe Strayhorn, Historian; Tommy DeMoss, Treasurer; Hoot Sarratt, Vice-President; David Hyatt, President. BIG RED CLUB Now in its third year of service to the school the Big Red Club has firmly established itself as an integral part of life at MBA. Big Red members can be seen at every football game selling shakers and buttons, ushering, giving rides to away games, cheering, and generally boosting morale. In addi- tion, the club has contributed to the school’s social life by sponsoring several combo parties after foot- ball and basketball games. The Big Red Club has done an excellent job this year in boosting school spirit and promises to grow and continue in this function. riie Hi-Y club of MBA exists, “To create, main- tain, and extend, throughout the home, school, and comrniinity, high standards of Christian char- acter.” The MBA Hi-Y club, known for its formid- able basketball teams, is one of the most active in the area. In the past the Hi-Y club has sponsored Christmas parties for needy children, participated in the state-wide Youth Legislature, and generally heightened ideals of service and Christian fellow- ships on campus.

The Forensic club consists of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who desire to further their skill in the spoken arts. The Forensic club fosters both intra- scholastic and interscholastic competition in the fields of original oratory, poetry and dramatic in- terpretation, humerous reading, and extemporane- ous speaking. Under the able leadership of the new coach, Mrs. Selma Ridgway, the Forensic team has upheld its past outstanding record; for ex- ample, retaining the highly sought-after second seat in the Barkley Forum, at Emory, a difficult and excellent achievement. Alex Nicholson, Jerry Greer, Bill Terry, George Duncan, Bill Barton, Steve Neff, Tom Holman. DEBATE CLUB The ability to argue a point effectively and to organize thoughts clearly is one for which there is no substitute. For this reason an important part of the Forensic club’s activities is devoted to the field of debate. This year’s debaters have compiled an excellent record in competition dissecting the subject, “Resolved, that the Federal Government should exercise compulsory arbitration in labor- management disputes.” Through hard work and excellent coaching, the debate team has once again proved itself worthy of the school’s name. 8o DRAMATICS CLUB In addition to its academic excellence, MBA also has a company skilled in the performing arts. The MBA players, now in their fourth year under the outstanding direction of Mr. James Poston, has once again completed a successful season. This year the players turned their talents toward a sophisti- cated comedy in the play Bell, Book, and Candle. The success of this production and the enthusiasm and participation of all of the members, both on stage and behind the scenes, points toward an ever- brightening future for dramatics at MBA.

THE 1966 BELL RINGER There is not enough that can be said about the improvements — indeed, complete rejuvenation — which the staff of this year’s paper has made. For perhaps the first time, true interest in publication in general has been inspired in the student body, and this enthusiasm has reflected itself in the ex- cellence of the Bell Ringer. What was once a drab, unimaginative journal is now a creative, well- written and well-designed piece of literature. For- mat and series articles were changed, and the re- sult is certainly a praiseworthy achievement.

THE MBA CHORUS This year, in order to promote cultural feeling in the previously academic atmosphere on the hill, Mr. Carter conceived the idea of a performing choral group composed of students. Under the able direction of Mr. Gregory Colson, well-known musician and dean of the American guild of or- ganists, the chorus has flourished and has already become an integral part of life at MBA. In con- trast to earlier attempts at glee clubs, boys in the chorus receive excellent voice training and a solid background in four-part harmony. The chorus has no special requirements other than a moderate ability to carry a tune and the desire to sing. The wildly successful debut of the chorus — a musical presentation to the student body before Christmas vaca- tion. First Row: Majors, Berry, Bond, Harris, Petrucelli Thomisson, Barton.

To paraphase George McGugin in a speech delivered to the student body: There is no shame in losing, only in quitting. The Big Red of 1965 exemplifies this idea to the fullest. Off to a dis- appointing start, this year’s football team failed to score in its first three games. With a short-lived surge, they began to look as if they would fulfill their full potential when they defeated highly- ranked Madison. After this encouraging win, how- ever, the team lost two more close and fiercely fought battles. The 1965 Big Red demonstrated that they pos- sessed what many football teams do not — the heart and will and sheer guts not to give up in the face of disappointment. As Mr. Owen said to the team when the season was over, “You had the courage to pick yourself up off the floor and get after those people.” The Big Red, after its fifth loss, with only one win to its credit, played its last three games as if the state championship was at hand. It is generally agreed that the team displayed enough spirit, ability, and teamsmanship in the last three games to have beaten any of the teams it had encountered before. Captain Woodie Husband, Go-Captain Mike Howard. FOOTBALL BANQUET AWARD WINNERS— Sitting: Bill Blair, Winston Evans. Standing: Mike Howard, Woodie Husband. Though this was not a winning season, each and every boy on the football team won, a point made by Mr. Owen in his speech to the student body at the end of the season. In that same speech, Mr. Owen declared that he greatly admired every boy who had earned a spot on this year’s football team ; for not only had each of them struggled through grueling summer practices, but had had the courage to “stick to it” though a winning season had already escaped their grasp. John Waggoner gets the season ofi’ to a flying start. GEOFF BRADEN The football team, picked for second in the NIL, journeyed to Donelson to play the season opener with the eventual NIL champs. From the moment the team bus broke down to the end of the game nothing seemed to go right for the Big Red. The game saw neither side draw any blood until Woody Husband picked off a Donelson pass early in the second quarter -and ran it back to the Dons’ 10 yard line where he was somehow stopped. The Big Red scored quickly; however, all was to no avail as an illegal procedure penalty nullified the touchdown. MBA continued to hold Donelson’s backs to the wall for most of the re- mainder of the game, but every time the Big Red began to threaten a score, a Donelson defensive back would intercept a pass to stall the drive. Donelson managed the only sustained drive of the night to score in the waning moments. Although the Big Red thoroughly outplayed Donelson, the Dons put a touchdown on the scoreboard to upset the Big Red 7-0 and to win their first game in history from MBA. MBA DONELSON lOO MBA 0 OVERTON Minus the services of flu-stricken Woodie Hus- band, MBA played Overton for the season’s second outing. Though once again brilliant on defense, the Big Red failed to get its offense moving until it was too late. In the first half, MBA constantly kept Overton deep in its own territory. But the team’s drives always seemed to stop short of the yellow stripe. Overton got the only touchdown of the game when a long run put them deep in the Big Red territory in the third quarter. The run came when an Overton back started around end, and, finding a wall of MBA defenders, he reversed his field. He caught the eager but over-pursuing defense out of position and ran for a long gain. MBA began a drive late in the fourth quarter on a Jim Burge to Tom Roady pass; the buzzer sounded, however, with MBA again knocking on the door. Mike Tid- well did an excellent job of filling in for captain Woodie Husband’s duties. JIM BURGE With a wave to the camera, Husband dispels a group of rowdies bent upon impeding another long run. Following the tough defeats at the hands of Donelson and Overton the two weeks before, the Maroons faced Ryan at Andrews Field. Within the first half both teams played outstanding defensive ball. Ryan threatened early in the ball game, but the drive was halted by a pass interception by de- fensive halfback Bill Blair. The Big Red offense stalled and Ryan drove against only to settle for a twenty-yard field goal at the hands of the Maroon defense. Thanks to a fumble, MBA threatened inside the Irish twenty-yard line late in the half. With .seconds remaining the Maroons attempted to get on the scoreboard on a field goal attempt. The kick was wide and Ryan led 3-0 at the half. In the second half neither team sustained drives until Ryan scored on an 80-yard march with three minutes remaining on the clock. The PAT was good and the final score was 10-0, the Big Red’s third consecutive defeat. Oustanding in the loss though were Sophomore linebacker Mike Tidwell, later voted the outstand- ing player on the field, and Sandy Haury. As usual Captain Woody Husband and Mide Howard played outstanding defensive games. 0 MBA RYAN 10 MBA MADISON The turning point of the season was against Madison. MBA won its first game by sneaking past the Rams 14-13. On the first offensive play of the game, the Big Red recovered a Madison fumble. They marched 50 yards in seven plays for their first touchdown of the year. Woodie Husband scored from the nine- yard line with 10:30 left in the first quarter. Winston Evans added the extra point and made the score 7-0. Madison scored in the second period but so did MBA with 1 : 50 remaining until halftime. Bill Blair scored and Winston Evans made the decisive point. In the last quarter, Madison scored again but missed the extra point. Thus the game ended with MBA on top, 14-13. Bill Blair played exceptionally well for MBA, intercepting three passes. WINSTON EVANS Snarling John Waggoner leaps to confront an opponent. In his inimitable camera style, Woodie Husband cooly brushes aside an opponent as he sweeps around end. On October 8 the MBA football team played Springfield in our annual Homecoming game. The game started off with a bang for the Yellow Jackets as Springfield took the opening kickoff on a quick scoring drive climaxed by a thirty-nine yard aerial. The extra point failed, and Springfield led quickly 6-0 with nine minutes left to play in the half. Following Springfield’s score, MBA was able to sustain several long drives, but each failed as the Yellow Jackets held each time on downs. Thus the score stood 6-0 as the teams left the field for the halftime festivities. Following a fine halftime ceremony, the Big Red came onto the field fired up for battle. The Yellow Jackets held strong, however, as they stopped sev- eral long MBA drives short of the goal line. The game was well played by both teams as the lone score in the first period spelled defeat for the Big Red. MBA SPRINGFIELD 6 MBA GLENCLIFF MBA suffered its fifth shutout of the season at the hands of Glencliff in the Colt stadium. Bubba Dudley was the star for Glencliff; Bill Blair and Woodie Husband turned in exce llent efforts for the Big Red. MBA had several opportunities to score, with drives stopped on the twenty-three, eighteen, and nine yard lines. The Big Red’s final drive ended in the eighteen as time ran out. Although the offence faultered, MBA’s defense was superb, as it had been in every previous game. Fourteen of Glencliff ’s points came on a punt re- turn and a pass interception. The defense was led excellently by Mike Howard, Rusty Lawrence, Mike Rose, and John Bracewell. A bright light for the Big Red was Woodie Hus- band, who ground out eighty-five yards in fifteen carries, and had a fine run of thirty-nine yards. Others who played well were Bill Blair and Tommy Roady. Although the MBA offence did not gain a great amount of yardage, it showed signs of being able to do so, and this was bourne out in the final three ames. CAPTAIN WOODIE HUSBAND Bill Blair charges down field to “pile up those yards.’ ' MBA LITTON A piteous attempt to break the Big Red front wall, but, alas, to no avail. TED MOATS On October 22 the Litton Lions invaded An- drews Field for the Big Red’s seventh encounter of the year. The Maroon played spectacularly, causing the Lions to fumble on the first play from scrimmage, then ramming for a score in just three plays. Woodie Husband gained most of the yardage in the drive and rambled into the end-zone. The Maroons, who had presented little offensive punch in the previous games, rose to the occasion and scored again before halftime to lead tlie Lions 13-0. In the third quarter, Litton scored as‘a result of an MBA fumble. The point after was blocked by Mike Rose. Quarterback Jim Burge then di- rected the Big Red offense to its third score of the evening, hitting end Geoff Braden on a slant pass for the tally. Outstanding in the victory were Woodie Husband, Geoff Braden, Bill Blair, Mike Rose, and Mike Howard. Mr MBA STRATFORD 7 27 Glancing to the side, Woodie notices a large problem, and cuts to avoid impending disaster. On a freezing October 29, MBA met and de- feated Stratford High School. The first five minutes of play displayed the pattern the game would pursue as Stratford, unable to gain any yardage, punted to the Big Red who methodically rammed the ball down Stratford’s throats for seventy-five yards. Bill Blair and Jim Burge hammered the Spartan ends on the option, and the line, on offense and defense, battered the Stratford forewall with catlike quickness. After a very brief display of the Stratford offense, MBA again rammed the ball into the end-zone. The second quarter was a see-saw battle until the Spartan’s Mike Jones dropped a punt on his thirty-five yard line and red jerseys fell all over the ball. Again the Big Red had little trouble scoring to build up a 20-0 halftime lead. Stratford gave the Big Red a scare at the begin- ning of the second half when they drove to MBA’s twenty. Mike Howard, however, pounced on a fumble to straighten things out. MBA then pro- ceeded to empty its benches of reserves. Stratford, on a series of freak passes, scored in the wanning moments to wind things up at 27-7. m GRANT SMITHSON Jim Burge and Ted Moats led the offense as they received All-City honors. Winston Evans, who booted three extra points for the Big Red, and Woodie Husband led the defense. By Winston Evans With determination in his eyes, Rusty Lawrence rushes to deflect a pass. JOHN WAGGONER HOWELL WARNER MBA With high spirits from the preceding week’s vic- tory over Stratford, MBA rolled over its traditional rival Hillsboro 28-7 in the final game of the season. The Big Red moved the opening kick-off with a sixty yard drive to paydirt in six plays. Bill Blair scored from the twenty yard line making the score 7-0. In the first series of downs in the third period, a Hillsboro punt was blocked and recovered in the end-zone for a touchdown. With fourth down and four yards to go on the Hillsboro fourteen yar d line, Burge passed to William Billips for the touch- down. The extra point made the score now 21-0. The defense again was brilliant, shutting out Hillsboro until the final moments. In the final sec- onds, MBA’s reserves moved the ball down close to the goal line, where Tom Roady, in a play made up on the spot, ran fourteen yards to score with a mere six seconds left in the game.

VARSITY BASKETBALL III m MBA basketball has for many years been lagging; losing records have been the tradition for five years. The basketball team of 1965-66 has been indeed a breath of fresh air for this faultering sport. Not only did this team turn in a winning record, a superb record at 20 wins and nine losses, but at the climax of their season the mem- bers of this team gave the school its first basketball trophy in two decades, that of the 18th District Championship. This squad has been a record- setter; the 95 points scored over Howard is surely a high scoring mark; the wins over West, BGA, Ryan, and East have been the first in many years. Moreover, the future looks equally as bright; this year’s team had tremendous depth on the bench; both the JV and the Freshman teams were also champions. Tongue in cheek, Loftin rises above the situation, Deftly Hyatt bounds for the rebound, A moment of bewilderment for Lawrence and Herbert in Alumni-basketball game. Again Hyatt springs, this time for two points. Jim Burge leaps in the midst of a myriad of hands and legs. Chortling, Herbert plunks in another two. With infinite finesse DeMoss lofts a free throw. The season began with three players injured, yet the Big Red defeated the Memphis University School, who would later be ranked high in the state, 49-48. The previous week, in an unofficial game, MBA defeated a team composed of MBA alumni 48-37. Losses to Cohn, Lipscomb, and BGA followed the Memphis win, while victories over Woodlawn, North, and West made the record 5-3 before Christmas. After the holidays the figures in the win column mounted while only occasional additions to the loss side appeared. As the MBA basketball team entered the 18th District Tournament an underdog, their record was 17-8. Magnificent teamwork, coaching, and spirit led the team to victory and the championsliip. Not only should these boys be congratulated, they should be thanked, for return- ing to MBA the sport of Basketball, and for the spirit they gave to the school. 113 m Jim Webb, at 5 ' 8 the smallest man on the team, dunks for another two in practice.

GOLF TEAM With a large number of returning lettermen from last year’s team which tied for first in the Western Division of the N.I.L., the MBA golf team is look- ing forward to a fine spring. The team is led by James Cook, a three-year letterman who won a majority of his matches last year. As number one man this year Cook will be challenged by Bill Tyne, Greg Rogers, Phil Mayes, and Mike Howard. Tyne and Byrd are veterans, having gained valu- able experience last year. The surprising story, however, is the fine play of newcomer Greg Rogers. Only a freshman, Rogers tied Cook in the qualify- ing rounds and lost a sudden death playoff in ten rounds. The fine play of the younger members, coupled with the seasoned experience of Tyne and Cook should carry the Big Red, under the able leadership of Mr. Stapleton, to a veiy successful season. Not to be overlooked, however the freshman golf team. This team is very capably directed by Mr. Kirkpatrick, who has always finished high in the faculty tournament. Some of his fine young players show promise of being excellent additions to next year’s team. 117 Harry Denson, Alf Sharp, Geoff Braden, Winston Evans, Mr. George Kirkpatrick. MBA introduced wrestling to this area. It there- fore follows that MBA’s wrestling team should be the best, and it was. It suffices to say that the MBA wrestling team was undefeated and untied. There is, however, more. The grapplers were N.I.L. and Regional Champs ; the MBA team placed very high in the State Tournament in Chattanooga, and Tom Gambill placed third in the state in the 183 lb. class, Winston Evans and John Billings fourth in the 140 lb. and the 130 lb. classes respectively. Tom Gambill, moreover, had pinned every op- ponent until he was defeated in the State Tourna- ment. The team’s every success is due to its coaches, Mr. Kirkpatrick, and Holt Smith and Charlie Cornelius (not pictured) whose great knowledge and experience helped form a team which was vastly superior to its opponents.

These seniors are of course, the essence of this year’s excellence, but the juniors and sopho- mores will gain valuable experience. Joe Strayhom, an 880 and Mile runner; Tom Gambill, who throws the discus; Woodie Husband, shot put and discus; Howell Warner, a hurdler; and Jerry Loftin, in the high jump, are the seniors. Meanwhile, outstanding other members are: Robbie Quinn, a promising 880 man; Jay Bowen, who is developing into an exceptional dash man; Mike Tidwell, a top junior high hurdler in Atlanta last year; and possibly the team’s most versatile athlete, Tom Roady, who participates in the pole vault, broad jump, 220, and the 440. This fine team looks forward to fine season. First Row: Sanders, Bond, Brackin, Luton, Strayhorn, Meeks, Bowen, Brach, Blackman, Tidwell, Burkhalter, Holman, Warner.

Second Row: Manager Lochte, Hyatt, Jones, Rose, Piland, Herbert, Peeples, Jones, Haury, Sellick, Manager Craig. The baseball team under the direction of Mr. John Bennett, is looking forward to a tremendously successful season. While having only two seniors, the team is loaded with experience ' including six starters returning from last year’s squad. The Big Red has one of the finest infields in Nashville, with Charlie Kantor at first, David Hyatt at second, Lynwood Herrington at Shortstop, and Kim Sellick at third. Fireballing Elliot Jones and Larry Herbert form the battery. ' The outfield is equally as pra iseworthy with Tommy DeMoss, Jeff Peeples, and Hunter Atkins. Elliot Jones, Bobby Sadler, and Jeff Peeples form what should be one of the finest mound staffs in the N.I.L., and runs should not be hard with sluggers like Hyatt, DeMoss, Kantor, Jones, and Herbert in the lineup. Many young players are threats to break into the lineup at any time. The top ones are Barry Holt, Tony Rose, Sandy Haury, Bruce Jones, Jim Piland, and Barry Banker. With the excellent leadership of Mr. Bennett, who has the greatest respect from the team, there is no reason why the team cannot become the N.I.L. champs. Mr. Rule, Buzz Beauchamp, Dent Shillinglaw, Rusty Lawrence, Greer Cummings, Charlie Nelson, Jim Webb. TENNIS This year the tennis team is just as strong as, if not stronger than, it has been in the past. Led by seniors Dent Shillinglaw, Greer Cummings, and Jim Webb, along with juniors Buzz Beauchamp and Rusty Lawrence, and outstanding Sophomore Charlie Nelson, the team will be seeking MBA’s twenty-second N.I.L. title in the past twenty-three years. Once again the team is under the direction of the famed Mr. James Rule, who is ably assisted by Mr. James Poston. The fall season was highlighted by close matches with Baylor and McCallie schools of Chattanooga. Scores in both matches were identical, 5-4. This spring the team will again take on these two schools and, in addition, Darlington of Rome, Georgia. Also, it will participate in the Southern Rotary In- terscholastic Tournament in Chattanooga, where it finished second last year. The ability and depth of this year’s team point to an exciting tennis season. With the expected improvement and maturity of each player, the team should enjoy even more success than it did last year. ■ X 4 ’ I 4 Charlie Nelson steps to avert a hurtling projectile.

Valiantly Mathes fends off an attack with his broom which has 82 different functions, 83 if he wishes to sweep the floor. The MBA Rifle team, coached by Mr. Donald Timberlake, seems very likely to repeat, or better, last year’s second place finish. In its first match, MBA lost a narrow decision to Hillsboro; at the time of printing, MBA was second in the N.I.L. with one further match to shoot. The outstanding seniors on the team, John Thomison, Lyle Hammond, and Bob Chreighton, have contributed greatly to the team’s success. Moreover, next year’s team should be as good as this one, with top-ranked Lee Buchanan, who placed second in the city tournament, and high- ranked Buddy Butts and Bill Barton returning next year. The rifle team would like to thank the Vander- bilt R.O.T.C. for the use of their facilities for practice and for matches. Compliments of C. M. HUNT COMPANY. INC.
