1 ROBBIE QUINN Editor Published by the stu- dents of Montgomery Bell Academy, Nash- ville, Tennessee. JOHN SHAHAN Go-Editor 1 The Class of 1967 is the “Centennial Class” at Mont- gomery Bell Academy. The Academy opened its doors September 9, 1867 with 26 students in two small rooms This small student body was divided into grammar schc l and high school departments. J. L. Ewell, principal of the high school, had been professor of Latin at Washington University in St. Louis. Head of the grammar school department was M. S. Snow, who had resigned as prin- cipal of the Nashville City High School to take the posi- tion. The school found favor in Nashville and grew rapidly. Starting its hrst school year with 26 students, MBA had grown to 74 students by the end of the first session. Although a century old this year, MBA’s herit e goes back to the University of Nashville, Cumberland College, Davidson Academy and the earliest days of the pioneer settlement on the banks of the Cumberland. Actually, MBA was born on the campus of the old University of Nashville on “College Hill” in South Nashville. In its early years, it was housed in the “college proper” or mam building. This stone structure stands today and is occu- pied by the Children’s Museum. The University of Nashville, 1836 , ; r • ■ ■ ■-■• •■ ' ■■■ •.- -■ .-,4. . •--. ■ .

The history of the Academy and the history of Nashville have always been bound up together. The seed, which grew into the Uni- versity of Nashville and later into MBA, was planted by James Robertson. On December 29, 1785 Gen. James Robertson, who represented in the Legislature of North Carolina “a people living in stations and forts” on the bank of the Cumberland, secured the passage of “an act for the promotion of learning in the County of Davidson.” Nine trustees were named, and the institution, called Davidson Academy, was organized the following year. The trustees were James Robertson, William Polk, Thomas B. Craighead, Hugh Williamson, Daniel Smith, Anthony Bledsoe, Lardner Clarke, Ephriam McLean and Robert Hayes. 5 N i:t si. c;iTLiN has mteras lectiuis, ill igJomiuo NOri .fl SIT, |iio(l I m‘f4€s ct Cunitorcs Niiprudicti, alamnum, morihus iiiculimtuiii, literisijiic huinanioribiis iinbntiini, titulo praduqiic ARTIFM LIBERALIUM BACCALAUREI odoruavtriiiHi-te..ii lccoruvcrunt,ctcifruciiilaiIedc. umomninjura, privUegio, dignitates, Uonorcs et insignia, qua: hie nut iigqiiaiii oiitium ad ciindiim grndum cvcctis concedi soicnt.

X - r _ r ' j i ) 4 I i K ai UNIVERSITATiS NASHVILLENSIS, IMI E8EN ET CTTRATORES Charter for the University of Nashville. The first principal of Davidson Academy was Thomas Craighead, a Presbyterian preacher and teacher, the first minister to arrive at the Cumberland settlement. The school was located at Spring Hill Meetinghouse on the road to Gallatin near the site of the present Spring Hill Cemetery. Craighead taught the boys during the week at the rate of four pounds a year in “hard money” and preached to them and his neighbors on Sunday. In 1806, by legislative act, Cumberland College was chartered as the successor of Davidson Academy. Prior to this, in 1805, under the supervision of trustees Andrew Jackson and James Robertson, a new building was started on “College Hill” in South Nashville on lands belonging to the college. The work was completed in 1808, and the college moved across the river to its new home. Trustees, appointed over the years, were men of note including three United States Presidents: Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson. 6 Dr. James Priestly succeeded Rev. Craighead as presi- dent of Cumberland College in 1810. In 1816, the college was closed because of financial difficulties. After some years of decline, the college was revived under the lead- ership of Rev. Phillip Lindsley, who arrived in Nashville December 24, 1824. Two years later the name of the institution was changed to the University of Nashville. Historians have called Dr. Lindsley a “giant in intellect.” Before coming to Nashville he had been president of Princeton College in New Jersey. His Educational Dis- courses became the cornerstone of higher education in Tennessee. Under his leadership, Nashville became the “Athens of the West” — a. name later to become the “Ath- ens of the South.” In 1855, the literary department of the University of Nashville, which had been closed, was reopened on the military plan. This was accomplished when John Berrien Lindsley, who had succeeded his father, Phillip, as presi- dent, merged the Western Military Institute with the University. In former years, the Institute had been lo- cated in Kentucky, but by the time of the merger, it was being operated at Tyree Springs under Col. Bushrod Johnson. With the approach of the Civil War, military instruction became popular, and the school grew rapidly. John Berrien Lindsley Phillip Lindsley James Priestley 7 0 C33 S OEEsife i ' - :. V_- ■ . -. ■ ' ■- ' ' o Western Military Institute, which be me the literary i department of the t iversity under the name of the Nashville Military College, thus became one of the d!s- | tinguished ancestors of MBA. The boys, who studied the manual of arms nd close order drill irf this schot , were to fight on a; ' hundred bloody battlefields of the ' Civfl War. It W|LS during this period that Sam Davis, a farrn boy from Smyrna in Rutherford..County, signed hi| naihe on the roll book of the military school. As thous ncK of other boys, Sam was soon- ught up in the’ ' holocaust of war, but ' none would Be better remembered nor more honored than he. In November, 1863, at Pulaski, Tennessee, Sam Davis was hanged by Federal troops He chose to die rather-i-than betray a friend. His home today is a public shrine, and his statue stands on the grounds of the Ten- nessee State Capitol. The roll book he signed was the same one used by the old Western Military Institute, gokag back to 1847. This book is still used as the Register for MBA students. 4 i Montgomery Bell Academy opened in 1867 supported by the bequest of Montgomery Bell, a Pennsylvanian who came to Dickson County, Tennessee around 1800. In 1804, he purchased the Cumberland iron furnace from James Robertson and soon expanded his iron nace holdings. “It was by reason of his financial success, states the history of Davidson County, “that more than 30 furnaces shed their ruddy light over the western iron belt previous to the war.” Montgomery Bell died in 1855 at the age of 86. Froin his considerable fortune, he left $20,000 to the Uni- versity of Nashville. The interest from this sum was to be appropriated for the ' support of an academy or school to be called the Montgomery Bell Academy forever.” This sum was too small to start an academy at that time. The trustees of the University invested the money under the care of Dempsey Weaver of the Planters’ Bank in Nashville and by 1867, it had grown to $46,000. At this time John Berrien Lindsley opened Montgomery Bell Academy. From its earliest times, MBA offered scholarships to “deserving and needy students.” According to the Bell will, these were to go to 25 boys — 10 from Davidson County and five each from Montgomery, Williamson and Dickson Counties. lO Montgomery Bell Academy 1881. In its early years MBA included grammar, high school, and collegiate departments, the last offering freshman and sophomore courses. An 1870 history states that the rooms “are furnished in a manner not surpassed. All the floors are covered with heavy cocoa matting; the furni- ture is of oiled walnut; and blackboard and map accom- modations are of the most ample kind.” It was during this period that the academic depart- ment of the University of Nashville ceased to function, and at the urging of President J. B. Lindsley, the Acad- emy was expanded into the “collegiate department” of the University in about 1869. The next year Gen. Bush- rod Johnson, of the pre-war Western Military Institute, reappeared upon the scene, asociated with Gen. G. E. Kirby-Smith. These men took over operation of the University. Upon receipt of monies from the Peabody Fund in 1875, the University of Nashville became the Peabody Normal School. A ne v board of trustees took over the Normal School, while the old board of the University of Nashville retained control of Montgomery Bell Academy. For a time the Normal School projected making a “model school ’ of MBA, but the trustees held out against the plan. Since the Normal School wanted to occupy all of the University’s buildings, MBA agreed to leave the campus, and in 1881 moved to a six acre tract just east of the old site. When the school moved, it retained the income from the Bell trust fund. II Gradually the University of Nashville ceased opera- tions. Its campus and buildings were given to Peabody College. Peabody tried in vain to take over the remain- ing assets” of the University of Nashville, including MBA. The old trustees of the University were in control of the Academy, and now the two schools gradua y In the ’ years that followed, MBA encountered diffi- culties. In 191 1, however, matters began to improve when Judge Robert Ewing, a trustee, secured the services of Isaac Ball to head the Academy. For thirty years Mr. Ball was headmaster at MBA. Under his leadership, the school flourished. He saw the need for a new location and new buildings. For two years, just before World War I, MBA was located in an old brick building on Seventh Avenue North i ar the State Capitol. Finally, the former home of Garland Tinsley, a 32-acre tract on Harding Road, was purchased by the Board of Trustees. The house was remodeled and the school opened here in the Fall of 1915. The next ten years, Mr. Ball reported, “saw as happy and contented group of boys as ever I have known.” The green acres of the new campus were welcome indeed. Totomoi In 1925 a disastrous fire destroyed the main building and there was very little insurance to cover the loss. The fire occurred at noon on a Saturday when the “Cooties” were football. It was an almost in- surmountable task to finance and rebuild the school, but the trustees accepted the challenge. While the school was being rebuilt, students were taught in the field house, and meals were served on the athletic field. Mr. Ball retired in the fall of 1942. J. M. Farrell and Howard Allen briefly filled the post of headmaster, fol- fessor of mathematics at MBA. During his administra- tion the .school continued to progress, and the great tra- ditions of the Honor System and Totomoi were added. CONSTITUTION OF THE HONOR SYSTEM ARTICLE 1. Name: The name of the governing body shall be the Honor Council of M.B.A. ARTICLE 2. Purpose and Scope: In 1945 the Honor System was adopted by the M.B.A. student body for the purpose of promoting a strong sense of honor among the students and discouraging lying, cheating, and stealing. Cheating shall be construed to mean the giving or receiving aid on tests, examinations, or other pledged work. The teacher shall definitely state to a class what outside work is to come under the pledge. The Honor System definitely does not cover matters of ordinary discipline such as break- ing school rules and regulations. ARTICLE 3. Membership: The Honor Council shall be composed of twelve members as follows: 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. Members of the Council arc to be elected at the end of the first month of the school year by the respec- tive classes. They will serve for the rest of the school year and the first month of the following year. In case members of the Council for the preceding year do not return to school, the headmaster will appoint students to fill vacancies for the first month. The senior class will elect a president, vice-president and secretary. The president must be selected from the four senior members. The headmaster of the high school shall meet with the Council as an advisory member but shall have no vote. ARTICLE 4. Duties of the Honor Council: It shall be the duty of the Honor Council to receive reports of violation of the Honor Code, to try offender s, and to recommend to the faculty suitable punishment. It shall promote and encourage activities which would aid the cause of honor. It shall meet upon the call of the president. ARTICLE 5. Quorum: Nine members shall constitute a quorum. A vote of three-fourths of the members present shall be necessary for a decision. ARTICLE 6. Pledge: Students must sign all pledged work as follows: “I have neither given nor received aid on this work.” ARTICLE 7. Procedure in Reporting Offenses: A student seeing another student lying, cheating or stealing must notify an Honor Council member as soon as possible. The Honor Council will then decide whether the offender should be warned or brought up before the Council for further action. The identity of a student reporting an offense will not be revealed, without his consent, to either the student body or the accused offender. When this restriction, however, impedes the progress of a case or endangers the rights of an accused student, the members of the Honor Council may ovenide the restriction in that specific case by voting unanimously to do so. The Council may question an accused student and if it finds him guilty, will recommend punishment which may be any one of the following: a reprimand, a letter home to the parents, a public announce- ment to the student body of the guilt of the accused, suspension, expulsion, or any other punishment deemed suitable by the Honor Council. Ordinarily a student will not be suspended or expelled on his first offense but continued violation of the Honor Code will mean dismissal from school. ARTICLE Amendment: This constitution may be amended by a three-fourths vote of the student body. Mr. Carter talks with two students during his first Francis E. Carter, Jr. day at MBA. In 1957 Francis E. Carter, Jr. of Richmond, Virginia became headmaster of MBA. His father had been an instructor at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Vir- ginia for forty-six years, and at that school Mr. Carter got his early education. Later, he was an outstanding scholar and athlete at the University of Virginia. He began his teaching and coaching career at St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire. A veteran of World War II, he came to MBA from Summit School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he had been headmaster. At MBA, Mr. Carter has put great stress on scholar- ship. The academic standards of the Academy have been raised so that every MBA graduate is qualified for a college career. Mr. Carter has encouraged the develop- ment of the science curriculum and laboratory program at MBA. At the same time, he has continued the classical subjects that are traditional in the Academy. Physical signs of progress during Mr. Carter’s years at MBA are apparent on the Campus. They include the completion of the Currey Gymnasium, Wallace Hall, and the science and language laboratories. Plans are complete for a new library building to be constructed next year. � � � a?. In 1967 MBA continues to be a day school with most of its students coming from the Nashville area. It is a private, independent school with an enrollment of just over 400. In athletics, as in scholarship, MBA has made a name for itself. “Big Red” has a reputation to uphold on the football field, and in other sports as well. Four times in the past fifteen years, MBA football teams have appeared in the Clinic Bowl; four times during that time, they have won NIL football championships. MBA tennis teams have been consistent winners in NIL competition; and in baseball, basketball, and track, MBA athletes have repeatedly compiled winning records. An important characteristic of athletics at MBA is the fact that every boy is required to participate in some form of sports. Proud of a one-hundred year heritage, the leadership of Montgomery Bell Academy is dedicated to its next century of educational excellence. Never have the school’s prospects been brighter than at the beginning of its second century. The years ahead call us to even greater accomplishments. We wish to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. Hugh Walker and Mr. Stanley F. Horn. Also, Mr. James C. Rule s History of Montgomery Bell Academy was used as a source of information for this section.

FRYER Since coming to MBA two years ago, Mrs. Elizabeth Fryer has turned the library into the busy heart of the school through her individual attention to each student’s research problems. The Freshmen go to the library for help with their assembly speeches and other students for assistance with themes and term papers. She has introduced the supplementary aid and pleasure of a record player, and worked for the acquisition of other new library materials. This year, Mrs. Fryer has created interest in and sponsored a club called the Discussion Group with the purpose of visiting prominant Nashvillians, learning of their accomplishments, and sharing ideas with them. Our many thanks go to Mrs. Fryer — guide and counselor in and outside the library, and research authority for th e Bell. r j a ((yo yynAAi 1 Standing RUSTY LAWRENCE, Vice-president; BILL BLAIR Secretary; BUDDY SANDERS, Treasurer; Seated: JAY BOWEN, President.

Kneeling: Robbie Quinn, Jay Bowen. 89 I et the tappings begin ’ These words, signalling the ceremony for initiation into the Totomoi Fraternity, bring to life an interesting story spanning three hundred years. Totomoi comes from Totopotomoi, the name of a Pamunkey Indian chief in Virginia who died in 1656. A creek, and eventually a farm owned by Mr. Garland Tinsley, were named for this Indian. When Mr. Tinsley moved to Nashville and built his home on the present site of MBA, he gave his estate the name of Totomoi, which was inscribed on one of the entrance gates. In 1915, MBA bought his property and used his house as a school building until it burned in 1927 and was replaced by the Ball Building. Dr. R. L. Sager, Headmaster, founded the Totomoi Fraternity in 1954 to honor those boys excelling in at least three of the following fields — scholarship, athletics, student • government, organizations, and publications. Over the years, ninety-seven students, alumni, and faculty have been selected for this honor. Totomoi continues to represent balanced leadership and the highest attainment for an MBA student. HONOR COUNCIL Robbie Quinn, President; Bob Bryant, Secretary; Sandy Haury, Gordon Peerman, John Braccwell, Treasurer; Chris Riddell, Edwin Milam, Doug Anderson, Ben Mabry, Jimmy Luton, Vice-President; Mike Tidwell, Dave Alexander. S he Honor System, which was created by the boys themselves in 1945, is that aspect of Montgomery Bell Academy which sets it apart from all other schools in this area. This system effectively discourages dishonesty because of the authority given to the Honor Council. The Honor Council meets to judge and prescribe punishment for violators of the Honor Code for such offenses as lying, cheating, or stealing. Only four times has the Honor Council met this year. Usually there are a number of boys who, at the first of the year, may violate a principle of the Honor Code because they do not understand the policy of honor at MBA. After a warning in assembly early in the year, these violations ceased, a fact which can only point to the character of boys at MBA. STUDENT COUNCIL Peter Power, Barrett Sutton, Tommy Roady, John Stevens, Tony Rose, Bill Blair, Secretary; Jay Bowen, President; Rusty Lawrence, Vice-Presi- dent; Buddy Sanders, Treasurer; Bim Glascow, Barry Banker, Ricky Dyer, Billy Frist, Tom Nes bitt. nder the leadership of the senior officers of the Century Class, the Student Council, composed of all officers from the four high school classes, has played an increasingly important role in the school’s democratic government. A cross-section of class leadership, this body of young men has the responsibility of investigating and judging disciplinary offenses, representing student opinion on matters of policy, and dealing with various campus problems ranging from parking space to the protection of school property from damage. Working along with the administration, the Student Council members share serious responsibilities and maturing experiences which go into the making of MBA’s policy of democratic student government. JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY Student must have three consecutive semesters with an average of 90 each semester during seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. These semester averages must be earned at MBA and cannot be transferred from previous school records. After three semesters have been completed in high school, students are dropped from the Junior Honor Society and become eligible for the Senior Society. SENIOR HONOR SOCIETY student must have three consecutive semesters in high school with an average of 90 each semester. Any semester in which five subjects are carried may 88. The first semester of the senior year may average 85. It is not necessary to have been a member in the Junior Honor Society in order to qualify for the Senior Society.

SERVICE CLUB One of the many functions of the Service Club: taking up money at the games. Originally known as the Key Club, this organi- zation selects its members on the basis of scholar- ship, character and school contribution. During the current year, the goals of the club and the require- ments for membership have been clearly defined in a newly written constitution. A membership pin, a silver medallion with the superimposed single word, “Service,” has been designed and awarded to each member. In other words, much progress has been made this year in the formal organization of the club under the supervision of Mr. Poston. Actual accomplishments have included ticket-tak- ing and ushering at basketball games, participating in community fund-raising drives, and covering many minor yet needed services for the school and campus area. The number of hours volunteered by members, if totalled, would be remarkable, for this is a working organization with service-oriented goals. OFFICERS — Larry Mathes, President; Jimmy Luton, Secretary-Treasurer; David Banks, Historian; Frank Gorrell, Vice-President. SSBuch credit goes to the Big Red Club, now in its fourth year of existence, for promoting and maintaining school spirit at the highest level. The only requirement for membership in this largest of school organizations is a genuine desire to give all the MBA teams one hundred percent support. During the current year, members have promoted pep rallies, culminating in a rousing and roaring bonfire before the victorious Clinic Bowl Game. Dances have been sponsored featuring such combos as The Charades, The Checkmates, and the Lost in Sound. The club has bought streamers for all MBA supporters. A noteworthy project has been the purchase and presentation to the school of a composite of all the Varsity Football lettermen, which picture will be displayed in the lobby of the Currey Gymnasium. The Big Red Club closes out the year’s activities by the presentation of its annual gift to the school at Commencement. big red club m-Y CLUB OFFICERS — Shannon McDonald, President; Larry Mathes, Chaplain: Hunter Atkins, Vice-President; Mike Tidwell, Secretary; Philip Englert!

An affiliate of the YMCA, the club participates in a state-wide youth legisla- ture, sells cokes at Gray-Y football games early Saturday mornings, and plays basketball at the YMCA. This year’s group has been under the able guidance of Mr. Mitchell. The club’s function is best summed up by its goal: “To create, maintan, and extend throughout the home, school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character.” his year’s Forensic Club has had such out- standing speakers as J. B. Marks, Tommy Sum- mers, Loyd Smith, and George Wade. Tourna- ments at Clarksville, Maplewood, and Memphis Frazer High Schools have resulted in excellent per- formances by team members. Highpoints of the season have been the Barkley Forum at Emory University and the Mid-South Tournament hosted by MBA. George Wade did particularly well in the Barkley Forum, reaching the finals in Original Oratory. Under the able leadership and coaching of Mrs. Selma Ridgway, the Forensic Club looks to the future with keen optimism and hope for becoming one of the best teams in the South.

In the past such greats as “Our Town” and “Bye Bye Birdie” have been presented. 1967 was marked by a return to the Greeks — Soph- ocles and his immortal Antigone. The leads were ably played by Kathy Williams as Antigone, and Steve Neff as Creon, the king. Bill Barton, Larry Mathis, and Ricky Levy were the guards, with David Salmon as Haimon, the prince, Karen Schultz as the nurse, and Hunter Crabtree as Anti- gone’s sister, Ismene. The queen was played by Connie Horn, and Kim Sellick did an outstanding job as the Chorus. The backstage crew, Arthur Reed, Buddy Hughey, Weaver Barksdale, Tommy Barton, and John Testement, added much to the production. Players in practice for Antigone. DEBATE CLUB debating the topic: “Resolved: that the foreign aid program of the U.S. should be limited to non-military assistance ’ this year’s varsity and novice teams have profited from more experience than any MBA debators have had in the past. This year proved especially challenging because the debators were often required to debate both sides of the question. Of the varsity debators, the negative team of Bob Bryant and Bill Terry had the better record — 18 wins, and 8 losses in six tournaments. Bob and Bill managed to complete perfect records at two of these tournaments. The varsity affirmative team composed of Tom Holman and Bill Barton won 14 debates and lost only 8. The only serious Kneeling: Bret Kirkpatrick, Bruce Crabtree, Bob Bry- ant, Ricky Levy. Standing: Steve Neff, Tom Holman, Russ Rose, Bill Terry, Doug Small, Jerry Greer, Bill Barton . blight on the varsity record was the Barkley Forum Tournament at Emory University in At- lanta. Here, in the face of competition by teams from the entire South, both teams had 2-3 records. The novice teams turned in unusually outstand- ing performances this year. The negative team of Doug Small and Russ Rose had a record of 6-0. The affirmative team of Brett Kirkpatrick and Henry Walker had a perfect record. A second novice affirmative team composed of Bruce Crab- tree and Ricky Levy had a 2-2 record. We wish to extend our sincerest thanks to Mrs. Ridgway for her outstanding efforts for the team during this past year. DISCUSSION CLUB Shis year marked the beginning of a new group at MBA. Mrs. Fryer based the club on a similar organization she headed while at ‘ that other school.” According to Mrs. Fryer, the art of conversation is dying, and she feels that this group and the visits it makes will produce a facility for discussion. The first visit was to Dr. Stanley Horn, a nationally-known Civil War his- torian. Next to his discussion with the group, his library held the member’s attention longest. Tup- per Saussy, part-time composer, full-time adver- tising man, not only played for the group, but gave them his insight into life as well. The third personality visited was James Leeson, a newspa- perman, who is director of the Southern Educa- tion Reporting Service. The discussion here was about the educational system in the South and the West. Judge Albert Williams, a former State Commissioner of Insurance and Banking, gave the group some readings from his vast collection of books. The discussion group has proved that it fills a vacancy, and it is hoped that it will in years to come. Front Row: Tom Classman, Jerry Greer, Bob Bryant.

Organized this year, they had a large turn- out for membership. Besides darkroom facilities which are available to all members, several speak- ers have come for instructional purposes. The club has seen several filmstrips on film and picture- taking and has lately emphasized color photog- raphy. Under the guidance of Mr. Meriwether, the Photography Club has blossomed into an active organization and will, no doubt, continue its success.

Made up of two groups from the Junior High and the Senior High Schools, the choristers have given performances for local school, church and civic groups. En- thusiastic audiences have included Harpeth Hall, Cheekwood, West End Methodist Church, Vine Street Christian Church, the MBA Alumni at Hillwood Country Club, and our MBA Assembly. Programs have varied from scores from West Side Story to Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms. Full credit for polished performances goes to the Chorus Director, Mr. Gregory Colson, well-known Nashville musician.

The Mothers’ Auxiliary served supper to the usual overflow crowd of par- ents and friends who then proceeded to the football field to enjoy a resounding MBA victory over Hill- wood, 68-0. At half-time Sally Holder, escorted by Larry Mathes, was crowned Homecoming Queen. Her court included ; Mimi Mayes, escorted by Frank Gorrell; Cassie Winsett, escorted by George Bullard; and Maggie Braden, escorted by Jimmy Luton. Cheerleaders f eight people were chosen who had the most scnool spirit, it would not be eight boys but the eight girl cheerleaders. Every Friday morning dur- ing the football season, these girls led the student body in cheers for the game that night; they were present at every football game; they were present at the bonfire before the Clinic Bowl; they are at every home and away basketball game. Each girl is awarded a medallion after one year of cheer- leading and a trophy or plaque after two years, but these tokens fall far short of expressing our grati- tude to a group of devoted people. These girls— Captain Sally Holder, Maggie Braden, Cassie Winsett, Mimi Mayes, Beth Bowers, Cindy Condra, Jo Ann Beavin, and Beth Thomison— along with the boy cheerleaders— Frank Gorrell, Tony Rose, Larry Mathes, and Jimmy Luton — are a great part of the spirit of the school.

During any team’s football season, especially a successful one, it seems as if most of the attention and recognition is showered on the players who score the points. Moreover, if a great football team like MBA’s Clinic Bowl champions is led by an outstanding player such as Bill Blair, this player generally receives overwhelming praise. A cham- pionship team, however, is never based on just one player; there must be a team effort. The names of the players on the first string are VARSITY FOOTBALL probably familiar to everyone; the MBA team, however, is composed of thirty-three players, not just eleven, and each boy deserves his share of rec- ognition. The linemen who week after week opened holes for the backs and protected the passer en- abled our offense to be explosive. Also, any strong offense must be backed up by a stout defense if the team is to be successful. Thus, the MBA team was a champion because it was a complete team. lOO 1 f Front Row: Trainer Bobby Dubuisson, Harry Denson, Buzz Jaco- way, Hunter Atkins, Bill Davenport, Walter Bond, Dave Alexander, Peter Power, Bubba Herrington, Robbie Quinn, Duke Elam, Chris Riddell, Scott Grice, Barrett Sutton, Benny Meeks, and Manager Mike Craig.

During the four weeks of pre-season practice, MBA scrimmaged Donelson, the de- fending Clinic Bowl champs, and Jackson, the state’s number-two team, and defeated them .34-6 and 38-7, re- spectively. These victories and the twice-a-day workouts helped build the confidence and strength which became evident once the season had begun. Any championship team must also be backed by an out- standing staff. The MBA team depended first of all on Dr. G. C. McClure, who was with us throughout the season, checking on the physical condition of the players. Also helping the team were Mr. Bennett and Mr. Alexander, who scouted our future opponents. Certainly the most important men were the coaches— Coach Owen, Mr. Ridgway, and Mr. Rogers — who instilled in the players both the knowledge and the desire to play football. Thus, we ought to realize that many people helped the team become a winner, and to these people we give well-deserved praise. Team Physician, Dr. C. C. McClure. lOX MBA 53 PEARL 0 PHILLIP ENGLERT The opening game with Pearl on Sep- tember 9, 1966, made football history; for it was the first time in Nashville that an all-Negro team and an all-white team had played each other. The final score indicated a run-away on MBA’s part; but early in the game, it was a diflferent story. Bubba Herrington tallied from 47 yards out, then Pearl scored on a punt return. If the latter touchdown had not been nullified by a clipping penalty, it would have meant a tie at this stage and an added incentive for the Tigers. Instead, MBA went on to break the game wide open, as Captain Bill Blair had one of the finest days of his career. Blair ended up with four touchdowns. Hunter Atkins with two, and Kim Sellick, one; Bill Husband kicked five extra points to round out the scoring. This game was a great start for the promising Big Red, and it will be remembered as one of MBA’s finest in all respects. Kim Sellick carries several bewildered Tigers in with him for the score. Aaron Brown moves out to clear the way for Tommy Roady. September 16 found the Big Red, ranked third in the state after its 53-0 rout of Pearl, ready to tangle with arch-rival Hillsboro. Both teams got off to a slow start as the first quarter turned out to be primarily a defensive battle. A long bomb from Roady to Blair in the second quarter enabled Blair to score several plays later from the 2; Bill Husband converted and the Big Red retired at halftime with a 7-0 lead. MBA fumbled the opening kickoff to Hillsboro, and four plays later the Burros accounted for one of the two touchdowns scored against MBA during the season. The Big Red also fumbled the second kickoff and as the Burros began a sustained drive, MBA appeared to be in trouble. The defense, however, made the first of its classic goal-line stands in stopping the Burros on the 7. At this point the Big Red found their explosive style and scored twice quickly. A pass interception by Roady set up a Peter Power to Benny Meeks touchdown pass which ended the scoring by both teams at 27-6. Although marked by frequent fumbles, this game was a salute to the determination and perseverance of the team. HILLSBORO 6 BILL RHETT MBA 27 Ouch! Bubba Herrington jars ball loose from Ryan defender. In a hard-fought contest at Frank Andrews field, MBA chalked up its third straight victory by defeating Ryan. MBA shot ahead early in the game as Blair ripped through the line for a 60-yard touchdown run. Then, in the second quarter, Blair, behind fine blocking from Englert, Haury, Bracewell, Williams and Lawrence, scored a two-yard burst making the score MBA 13, Ryan 0. Ryan came back with a touchdown, and after recovering a fumble on the kick-off, threatened to take the lead; however, the formidable Big Red defense held. In the third quarter, Blair got his third touchdown, one of the most spectacular of the season — an 82-yard dash down the sideline. As the game was ending, MBA’s fine fullback, Mike Tidwell, alertly pounced on a Ryan fumble in the end zone, making the ' final score 26-7. FRAINKLIN 0 HUNTER ATKINS A handful of spectators watch the muddy battle. September 30th was a cold, muddy, miserable night. A crowd of about one hundred loyal fans watched the number one ranked team in the state play Franklin in a steady downpour. In a game which was as disappointing to MBA followers as to the players, Franklin tied the Big Red 0-0. The steady strength of the spirited Franklin team could not be denied; at the same time, MBA could not generate any offense in the swill on the turf. It was a stalemate; the MBA offense could not find enough footing to cross the Franklin goal, and the eager, but slower, Rebs could not break the Big Red de- fense. Defensive standouts were many, as Franklin failed to score, but MBA’s scatbacks, who rely on speed, were greatly hindered by the mud as well as a fired-up Rebel squad. 105 .r MBA 25 OVERTON 0 Anxious to redeem itself for a tie with Franklin, MBA crushed Overton 20-0. The offense, back on dry ground, played flawlessly with Bill Blair gaining over 150 yards on the ground, and scoring one touchdown. Sophomore fullback. Bill Husband, scored two touchdowns and split- end, Hunter Atkins, one. Also, this game might have been a different story had it not been for our crack defense. In the first half, the tenacious Big Red staged a goal line stand high-lighted by an amazing individual tackle by “Raunchy” Roady. Later in the game, the defense, in a similar manner, stalled an Overton drive on the 7. Much credit is due to Phillip Englert and other members of the Big Red front wall who opened massive holes for the “Jet Set.” HARRY DENSON AND JAY BOWEN Bill Husband sidesteps a Bobcat to go all the way. X MBA GLENCLIFF Six years ago a new school, GlenclifF, began its NIL football career. In those six years MBA had never beaten the Colts; in fact, a ’64 Big Red team had been knocked out of a sure Clinic Bowl bid by them. Never was the ’66 team so fired up as against Clencilflf, a factor apparent in the lopsided score. Led by Captain Bill Blair, who scored five times, the Big Red tallied all but twice when they were in possession of the ball. Also scoring for the Big Red in this nine-touchdown scoring spree were Roady, Lawrence, Atkins, and Riddell. Although not contributing point-wise to the game, Mike Tidwell had one of his finest games as he pierced the slow ClenclifT line for 112 yards in 15 carries. It was rumored that the then fourth-ranked Big Red would also receive bids to the Apple and Metro Bowls, but everyone at MBA was looking toward Dudley Field on Thanksgiving Day. The Big Red mows down Colt defenders. BUBBA HERRINGTON AND BUDDY SANDERS Chris Riddell rounds end with a hapless Hilltopper in pursuit. Our homecoming on October 28 was a prime opportunity for the Hilltoppers to upset fourth- ranked MBA. After a rather slow start against a luckless Hillwood team, the Big Red, however, rolled up 520 yards total offense, with 26 first downs, allowing Hillwood only 73 yards and four first downs. MBA ran up its 68 points almost at will, as Blair scored four times, running his season’s p oint total to 108. “Melvin” Tidwell also helped smother the Toppers by crossing the goal twice; other scorers were Bill Husband, Hunter Atkins, Chris Riddell, and Buzz Jacoway. Defensively, Robbie Quinn led the fierce charge by intercepting two passes, blocking a punt and recovering a fumble. Hillwood completed only one of seven passes and netted only 61 yards on the ground against the Big Red’s strong defense. Bill Husband rambles past a Bear on a touchdown jaunt MBA ANTIOCH After a week’s lay-off, because the Springfield game had been postponed, MBA met Antioch on November 11th to decide who would go to the Clinic Bowl. The game was tougher than most followers expected. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bears kicked a 23-yard field goal to give them a 3-0 advantage. For the first time in their 1966 career, MBA was behind in a football game. This was a crucial point, for just the week before Antioch had beaten Donelson 3-0 in a similar situation. Suddenly, however, the Big Red came alive as the dependable Blair scooped up a punt and ran 50 yards down the sideline for a score. Later in the game, Roady connected with Atkins on a beautiful touchdown pass, caught by the nifty end inches in bounds. To ice the game and the division title. Bill Husband broke away in the fourth quarter to go untouched all the way for the final MBA tally. This gave the state’s second-ranked team a 21-3 victory. SCOTT GRICE z Bill Blair streaks by several hefty Jackets. In a game postponed until November 17th, third-ranked MBA traveled to Springfield to engage the annually tough Yellow Jackets. The Big Red rallied early as Roady opened an aerial attack which set up touchdowns throughout the game. Bill Husband tallied first as he plunged over from the six; then Hunter Atkins speared a touchdown toss to give MBA an early 13-0 lead. In the following touchdown drive, Rusty Lawrence made one of his finest grabs of the year— a stumbling, hobbling catch that netted 43 yards. “Little Huz” scored shortly thereafter on a 25-yard sprint which gave the Big Red a comfortable 20-0 halftime margin. The presentation of a ham to Coach Owen at halftime may have done something to soften the MBA strategy; for the Big Red scored only once in the last half on a four-yard drive by Bill Husband (his third touchdown of the night). The entire student body, along with a curious Litton team, turned out to watch the Big Red end their regular season with this 26-0 win over Springfield. no J?s 1 ' -. ■; .-; :-,r.: ■ r-:- V-r.iiC 4V‘ :- ' 5-Cv: m.im Thanksgiving Day saw the mighty Big Red stun the powerful Litton Lions. During the first minutes of the game, the Lions played MBA on even terms, with neither team able to move the ball consistently. MBA quickly came to life in the second quarter as Roady hit Lawrence for two passes netting 58 yards which set up a touch- down sweep around end by Roady. The second half was all MBA. After stalling on the 8, the Big Red regained the ball in Litton territory and quickly pushed it over to extend the lead 14-0. The fourth quarter saw another MBA drive cli- maxed by a fourth down plunge by “Huz”, who again converted, to end the scoring 21-0. Bub- ba Herrington frustrated any further Lion scor- ing attempts, when in the closing minutes, he in- tercepted a Lion aerial. This final game, which ended the victorious 1966 season with a 9-0-1 rec- ord, was a great tribute to the coaches, players, and everyone associated with this fine effort.

The first ten games showed a lop-sided bal- ance sheet of ten losses and two wins; two of these losses were to an outstanding Pearl team. Then came the turning point in the game against TPS. Behind 33-18 at half-time, the Big Red exploded and came out on top 69-57. Part of the credit goes to the aroused spirit of the student body led by “Soul” cheers. From that time on, the Big Red really began to roll, winning 10 of the 14 remaining games and finishing 6th in the powerful 18th Dis- trict. In the 18th District Tournament, the Big Red easily defeated TPS 70-55, but lost to a very good Ryan team in the quarter-final round. This year the team has been led by Captain Rusty Lawrence; by other seniors, Elliot Jones, Charlie Kantor, Philip Englert, and Buddy Sanders; by juniors Tom Roady, Gary Herbert, and Sandy Haury, and by sophomores Jeff Peeples and Berr) Holt.

His instruction, criticism and help have been inval- uable to the team. Working and developing their game together have been the seven players — Morris Rogers, Philip Englert, Bert Dale, Frank Gorrell, Gordon Moughon, Steve Johnston and Ben Byrd. An increased schedule of matches, all played at McCabe Golf Course, has given the team needed practice and experience. Early in the season, team members have already come through with much success and interest which should add up to an outstandingly fine year.

F.G.G. lao WRESTLING Despite a slow start this year, the MBA wrest- ling team showed itself to be one of the most im- proved teams in the Nashville area. The wrestlers were beaten by G.M.A. and S.M.A. before Christ- mas, as well as B.G.A. and T.B.S. After Christmas, however, the Big Red began to pick up. Several matches were lost by very close scores. MBA finally came to life in a match with Cumberland High School, which they won by a score of 56-0. The wrestlers continued to improve by placing third in the N.I.L. tournament, second in the Re- gional tournament, and eleventh in the State Tournament. The team was led by such outstanding wrestlers as Clyde Smith, who placed fourth in his weight class at the State Tournament, Duke Elam, who placed third in his weight class at the tournament, and captain klarry Denson.

TRACK Track season began February 25th at the Uni- versity of Tennessee Fieldhouse in Knoxville where a few members of the team participated in an indoor meet. Though not doing too well in the competition, which consisted of teams from four southern states, our times compared favorably with other Tennessee teams. Despite a shortage of dual and triangular meets before state compe- tition, the team has a number of outstanding in- dividuals who may pace them to a state crown. Both Hank Brackin and Robbie Quinn have broken their own school records in the broad jump and 880, respectively, this year, and appear on their way to break them again. Bim Glasgow, having tied the school pole vault record this year, leads the school vaulters. Rounding out the nucleus of the team, Benny Meeks, Bill Brach, Tom Roady, and Bill Blair share duties in the sprint relays and could break the school mile and 880 relay records.

Only one starter was lost from the team which had an 11-3 season in 1966. Ringleader of the Big Red will be All-Western Division Elliott Jones. Last year he was the only Junior ever to win the MBA MVP award in base- ball. Pushing Elliott for this year’s award will be fabulous Sophomore Jeff Peeples, who was a standout as a Freshman. Jones and Peeples, shar- ing the mound duties, should form an unbeatable duo. The relief chores will be handled by south- paw Bobby Sadler. Charlie Kantor at first. Berry Holt at second, Bubba Herrington at short, and Jimmy Piland at third are all veteran infielders. Larry Herbert will handle the catching duties; and Hunter Atkins, Sandy Haury, and Bruce Jones will cover the outfield. A real battle is expected for the vital first base coaching spot with Barry Banker and Bruce Tepper as experienced contenders. This team should not lose; the NIL and State Championships are within their grasp. The long stretch. Hot doir on the mound. Artfully wielding his bat, Jofies whacks it off into the wild blue yonder. Front Row: Atkins, Herrington, White, Small, Kantor, Holt, and Banker. Back Row: Manager Lochte, Bruce Jones, Herbert, Rose, Piland, Peeples, Sellick, Elliott Jones, Haury, Sadler, Manager Craig. TENNIS The tennis team, starting practice two weeks before spring vacation, has high hopes of keeping the NIL Championship Tennis Trophy for an- other year, which would total six straight years in a row. Ably led by Seniors, Buzz Beauchamp and Rusty Lawrence, the “magnificent seven” also aspire to retain the state championship trophy for the third consecutive year. One handicap to the netters will be the loss of top-seeded Charlie Nel- son, who was injured during football season. This year the NIL is split into three divisions with seven teams per division. At the end of the season, there will be a playoff between the three division winners for the coveted NIL crown. To qualify for the state tourney, the MBA netters must reach the semi-finals in their own respective divisions. On April 14-15, the team will invade Chatta- nooga for the Southern Interscholastic Tourna- ment where it will compete with the best teams of the South. As a change from the annual spring match with Baylor and McCallie, the squad plans to journey to Memphis where it will encounter the powerful MUS team. The 1967 season promises to be one of the most exciting with much expected from players Lawrence, Beauchamp, Kneeline:: Cummings, Copple, Reed, Barksdale, and Milam. Standing: Tatum, Beauchamp, Stewart, Law- rence, Walker, Hughey, Buttrey, and Coach Rule. Buzz Beauchamp.
