1970 Bell Montgomery Bell Academy Nashville, Tennessee William Harrison Frist, Editor Dedicated to Mr. John Bennett The Prophet speaks: “You give but little when you give of your pos- sessions . It is when you give of your- self that you truly give. A no more fitting statement can be found to de- scribe a man who has served Mont- gomery Bell Academy in every respect — whether it be through teaching , coaching , or just being a friend. A man truly dedicated to his profes- sion, he uses his time not to his own advantage but rather to the advantage of others. Ultimately , he inspires those who ivork under him to take personal pride in their work and to reap the fullest advantages from all of their experiences on the Hill. For the inspiration and fellowship he has invariably offered the student body of Montgomery Bell, the annual staff, with deepest appreciation , dedicates the 1970 BELL to Mr. John Bennett. Foreword This is your 1970 BELL , to cherish and to keep . We have done our best to capture , both in prose and in pic- tures , the years each of you has spent on the Hill . In addition to the ideas developed , we hope that you ivill find suggested in this volume what MBA has meant to you personally . More than a mere chroni cle of events , the 1970 BELL is the editors 5 honest attempt to reflect the spirit of Montgomery Bell as we knew it in 1970. On the cover you find the can- non, the traditional , in balance with the new library, the progressive. You find boys walking and talking to- gether. All of these are what compose the spirit of MBA. Thirty years from now, if a faint smile comes across your face when you glance through this dusty vol- ume, our efforts and ambitions will have then been realized. Student Life Contents Administration 23 Classes 35 Organizations 77 Features 95 Athletics Ill 5 Montgomery Bell Academy is undoubtedly one of the top pre- paratory institutions of education in this part of the country. Traits of human attitudes , feelings, goals, and desires merge to create an atmosphere in which students are prepared for the future. To fully understand this atmosphere , one must look further than the skeleton of buildings and facili- ties. Though the grounds and structures house, contribute to, and often express the atmo- sphere, they by themselves are un- able to create it. The focus must be turned to the students, for it is they who control the pulsating rhythm of student life. r ' . : iL ' V- ' i, 1 JjBE? WV| ' «S4 In three weeks I graduate . Vve eagerly awaited Commencement since first entered MBA. But now I have mixed emotions. “ went to MBA” instead of “I go to MBA.” Somehow it doesn’t sound right. My attitudes have changed. have changed. Sometimes it scares me to think how much I have changed. In three weeks I will be out of high school; in three months, in college. I used to wonder if I would not be better prepared for col- lege life, independent as it is, if I had been allowed to make more of my own decisions ivhile at MBA — athletics or not, long hair or short. You knotv, my friends at other schools are never reminded to get their hair cut. But notv it strikes me that MBA is not like other crfmn c • it Ano n?t. want to be. MBA is on a Hill.

Slow down!” Things pass too fast . So I sit down and ponder — and wonder . ■ I look at something so very simple — a cannon spattered with yellow paint. What to the sight seems so simple blossoms into myriad ideas. The American flag being lowered ; the dummy of a rival football team. They are all a part of MBA. Impressions pile on im- pressions — the result is the spirit on the Hill. }; i ■ v .Vv ' •■ • ' .. . -v .“ V • r « ■. % - ' 1 V • JV , • :. . ; V • -« SPRINKLE FORMULA 33 ™EN SNOW SHOWS Sg °F STICKING TO THE GROW 1 i FORMULA 33 Beijing ice and sn° v ' ,,,J mahriai ..

But even in the coldest and dreariest iveather we have our friends. The excitement of the first snow; the hope of no school; the disappointment of having to go anyway. My moods change so like the weather. Scream ! Let go! Be a child when you ivant to. Make a face. You will find hap- piness happier and laughter lighter. Ad- mit you would like to believe in Santa Claus. If you feel like running through the mud, go ahead. Be yourself. I have found that you cannot ex- pect to become anymore than what you do or what you think . I have de- fined myself through decisions — decisions which seemed so dreadful at the time . No, I am not satisfied quite yet — I’m still searching . Will I ever be satisfied? I don’t know , but will keep searching to find out . m In my past years on the Hill , I have seen some people’s feelings , desires , and motivations released in frenzied enthusiasm. Other people are too s ry, or they get embarrassed too easily. But every once in a ivhile even the shy people jump up and cheer — and then quietly return to their self-conscious state. 1 6 WSSm w : ' ■;■■■ • j M Itt sapa ai Be Have you ever tried looking at something you didn’t like or something ugly from a differ- ent angle . Or for that matter 9 have you ever tried looking at what you love from a different point of view . I’ve discovered that you can’t close your eyes or look at something from one spot and tell if it is beautiful or ugly , or right or wrong , or good or bad . Life’s all a matter of perspective . ■ ' V ' ■ “vinns”v ismnav niinii ' in MlftTMllV tm iMU ruiiaiii! 18 The Hill , the athletic contests , plays, teachers, pep rallies , assemblies — they are but fond memories for us who will graduate .

FRANCIS E. CARTER, B.A., M.A. University of Virginia; Peabody. The One and Only— From administering one of the most respected institutions in the country to washing windows and shoveling snow, our Headmaster, Mr. Francis E. Carter, has found no job too big or too small to handle. We will always remember his adherence to high standards, his belief in school spirit, and his bottomless store of energy. Through this man’s total dedication of both time and effort, Montgomery Bell Acad- emy has established and maintained a reputation of mold- ing men of high character, integrity, and leadership. The 1970 Senior Class wishes to express its gratitude for the service given to us, to the school, and to the community by the One and Only — Mr. Francis E. Carter.

ROWLAND LOWRY, Vanderbilt University, B.A., M.A. “The difficulties of communication rest on the fact that each individual is a cosmos unlike any other. ... On an in-class theme day, a student is as electrified as Hamlet fencing for his life in a duel.” MR. PHIL CONDRA, University of the South, B.A.; Southern Methodist University, M.A. “The academic climate should be one which allows a free exchange of re- sponsible ideas. The freedom should never extend to license.” MR. THOMAS YOUNG, JR., Vanderbilt University, B.A. Scien ce and History MR. LEE MERIWETHER, Jacksonville State, B.S.; Peabody, M.A. “I think the average M.B.A. student is proud to be here — but some of them would not be proud to be in heaven !” MR. JOHN RIGGINS, SewAnee, B.A. “The stu- dent is no more blind to the outside world than others of his own age and generation.” MRS. HOPE MARLOW, Vanderbilt University, B.A.; Peabody, M.A. MR. THOMAS O. OWEN, Vanderbilt University, B.A., M.A. “Some students’ loyalty and support of the school’s activities is a matter of convenience to the student” MR. DONALD FAIRBAIRN, Peabody College, B.S., M.A. “The small classes, especially in mathematics, do much to encourage an individual to identify with a subject and participate actively in discussion and study, rather than adopt a more passive role.” MR. WILLIAM COMPTON, Davidson University, B.S.; Uni- VERSiTf of North Carolina. “The environment at M.B.A. lends itself to a constructive, personal contact between teacher and student. This relationship can become very close as long as the student does not take advantage of his position with the teacher for selfish purposes. Mathematics MR. JOHN BENNETT, Vanderbilt University, B.A. “Athletics gives the three basic qualities that I feel are lacking in a ma- jority of schools today: pride in the individual as well as in the school; discipline within a team and within the individual; competition in preparing the student to meet the many challenges of the future. ’ 18 DR. R. L. SAGER, Hampden-Sydney College, B.A., Litt.D. ; Peabody, M.A. “The biggest change in M.B.A. over the years is Mr. Carter.’’ MR. JAMES C. RULE, Carson-Newman, A.B.; Peabody, M.A. “I think, in general, the requirements for achieve- ment at M.B.A. will motivate the conscientious and well- adjusted student to a higher degree of performance; but for one whose field of interest conflicts with the purpose of a college preparatory school, I should think that the re- quirements here might possibly “inhibit’ the interests of that individual.’’ Mathematics MR. JAMES TILLMAN, Peabody, B.S., M.A. MRS. VIRGINIA LILES MRS. ALLEEN A. GARRIOTT. MRS. FRANCES S. McKEEHEN Secretaries MRS. NED LENTZ. Vanderbilt Uni- versity, B.A., M.A. “I have always found the M.B.A. boys to be true gentle- men.” DR. PAUL MANCHESTER, Park Collece, B.A.; Vanderbilt University, M.A.; Peabody College, Ph.D. “With few exceptions, I would say that the M.B.A. student is self-disciplined and thereby a good worker.” H MR. MICHAEL DRAKE, University of Virginia, B.A. “There is a desire to learn as much as passible without doing any extra work, . . . but then the demands of the educational system generally exclude the chance to go be- yond just what is presented.” Foreign Languages MRS. DAVID VEST, Poiters, B.A. MRS. HINES SIMS, Cen tenary, B.A. MRS. VIRGINIA HOLLINS, Duke University, B.A. “There is entirely too much concern for grades, in my opinion. To the majority of students, the grade they receive is more important than the mistakes they make. Unfortunately, however, grades remain the key criterion to most colleges for admissions. Librarians MISS JULIA FORT, Sweet Briar College, B.A. Art and Music MRS. ELIZABETH FRYER, Vanderbilt University; University of Cincinnati, B.A.; Peabody, M.A. MRS. THEODORE C. GREENE, Radcliffe College, B.A.; Peabody. “The students . . . are sensitive to the highest, whatever their faith may be. They are groping upward.” MRS. VIRGIL LEQUIRE, Ward-Belmont Junior College; Pea- body, B.A., M.A. MR. TOM RHEA, Florida State, B.A., M.A. MRS. JUNE BOWEN, Baylor University, A.B.; Peabody, M.A. “Some students from the lower grades are sensitive and aware of the future to the extent that their theme song appears to be, “There’s No Tomorrow” — others to the extent that their theme song seems to be “High Hopes.” Junior School MRS. FRANCIS E. CARTER, JR., Sweet Briar College B.A.; Hopkins. “One of the main purposes of educatior is to have a student form and express a responsible opinion — an action and reaction to ideas in the classroom is thf best way to learn.” MISS LOREEN THOMPSON, Peabody, B.A. MR. CRAWFORD ALEXANDER, M.T.S.U., B.S. MR. FRANK NOVAK, Peabody, B.S., M.A. “We have some individual discipline cases, but they are generally resolved satisfactorily.” Junior School MR. RAYBURN RIDGWAY, Tulane University; Millsaps College, B.A.; University of Mississippi. “By attending a small school such as M.B.A., a student can have maximum ex- posure to quality education; and as a by-product, he can profit by a close, personal relationship with his teachers and with other students.” MRS. SELMA RIDGWAY, Millsaps College, B.S. “We at M.B.A. have the responsibility of doing all we can to develop the character as well as the mind of the student.” MR. DAVID ANDERSON, Emory, B.A.; Vanderbilt University. “The number of Merit Scholars, achievements measured by standard- ized tests, the success of individuals as well as teams in athletic competition, college records, and the successful careers of the grad- uates indicate that M.B.A. students are receiving an education which makes great demands on the student as a scholar, citizen, and athlete.” MR. JAMES ROGERS, Sewanee, B.A. 33 MISS INGRID LOURENCO, Mary Washington, B.A. Classes Senior ... an authority on Hamlet . . . has mixed emotions about graduation ... is a big man on campus . . . gets Senioritis . . . stops taking things for granted ... is nearing the bottom of a new totem pole 35 Senior Class Officers Honor Council Officers BILLY FRIST, President; WALLY KUHN, Secrtary; JOHN GIBSON, Treasurer; MIKE REGEN, Vice-President.

Organizations An Organization is . . . an unorganized meeting . . . a way to get out of study hall . . . something to join to get your picture in the annual . . a way to express yourself . . getting together with your favorite friends . . a way of serving others as well as yourself 77 With seven hours spent in school, two or three spent in athletics, followed hopefully by two or three hours of study and an idealistic eight hours of sleep, the “free” time of an MBA student is somewhat limited. The student at MBA, however, does much more than passively sit back and os- motically absorb his education. Supported by an inquisitive and responsive student body, numerous organizations and clubs thrive on the Hill; through these organizations, the student finds avenues of self-expression, avenues which play an integral part in developing one’s potentialities to the fullest degree. The following pages portray the many ways a student can “become involved,” working side-by- side with fellow students, pursuing a common ob- jective. Some clubs are selective to the most cap- able and the most deserving, most are open to all; some promote the cultivation of one’s skills and arts, others simply provide the support for those people executing their skills. The two bodies most respected and distinguished at MBA are those who commence their meetings . . .

Standing: Garrison, Regen, Freeman, Wade, Anderson, Ramsey, Peerman, McCarley, Pirtle, Pickens, Orand, Collier, Ownbey. The first week in May, without elaborate cam- paigns or ceremonies, each of the upper three classes convenes to elect its class officers for the following year. Elected to either the Student Coun- cil or the Honor Council, the class officers are re- sponsible for establishing, interpreting, and judg- ing student policy at Montgomery Bell. The STUDENT COUNCIL, the nucleus of which are the Senior officers, assumes the responsibility of the school’s student government. Guided by the ideals of scholarly spirit and gentlemanly conduct, the council sets the pace to establish and perpetu- ate a sense of unity throughout the student body — a sense of unity founded on what a student can HONOR COUNCIL — Seated: Wilson, Vice-President; Bryant, Treasurer; Ramsey, Secretary; Milam, President.

Through co-operating with the administration in assuring discipline and through voicing the opinions of the student body, the Student Council serves as an active liason be- tween teacher and student. In addition to collecting money for the help at Christmas and sponsoring the sale of MBA shirts, this year’s council, under the presidency of Billy Frist, has, among numer- ous other matters, ruled over the qualifications for the Privilege List, over exemptions before holi- days, and even over the price of milk in the cafeteria. At the other committee table is the HONOR COUNCIL, this year under the leadership of Ed- win Milam. Composed entirely of students — a spe- cific number from each class — the Honor Council’s duty lies in preserving the spirit of honesty at Montgomery Bell by fostering respect for the Hon- or System. The council emphasizes that only with mature, responsible students can MBA perpetuate its high standards; on the individual rests the re- sponsibility to make the Honor System an integral part of the school. The MBA Honor System repre- sents the fact that honor and integrity play a most- important role on the Hill, a role of which every student is very proud. 79 Enhancing Spirit Through Service SERVICE CLUB — Kneeling: Milam, Frist. First Row: Nelson, Murphy, Pirtle, Peerman, Lips- comb, Jackson, Wilson. Second Row: Ramsey, Gibson, Regen, Blair, Anderson, Carpenter, Sum- mers. Third Row: Floyd, Ramsey, White, Webb. Two organizations whose purposes are aimed at service to both the school and teams representing the school are the Service Club and the Big Red Club. The SERVICE CLUB is an organization com- posed of boys selected from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes for their willingness to work for and contribute to both the school and the com- munity. Membership is indeed an honor, for pre- requisite to membership is high character and scholastic proficiency; but the chores are, at times, somewhat inglorious. This year the Service Club, under the leadership of President Billy Webb, col- lected tickets at the basketball games, wrestling matches, and plays; ushered at home football games; sponsored a combo; worked for the Heart Fund; and hosted to candy the many young spooks who, in full costume, attended the MBA Spaghetti Supper on Halloween night. During December the Service Club united forces with the BIG RED CLUB to sponsor a drive for food, clothing, and toys for underprivileged fami- lies in middle Tennessee. In arousing school spirit and encouraging support for the many athletic con- tests lies the chief function of President Bill Floyd’s Big Red Club. Open to all interested boys Service Club Officers: Webb, President; Floyd, Vice-Presi- dent; Ramsey, Secretary; White, Treasurer. in the upper three grades, the club furnishes trans- portation to all athletic events and sponsors several after-the-game combos. Bill Floyd, Frank Blair, Wade Martin, and Blair Wilson, by their position as officers of the Big Red Club, serve also as the cheerleaders who kindle school spirit at Friday morning pep rallies. Although the Big Red Club claims no hats, buttons, or vests, their voice is a loud one, for it includes a great number of the student body which in turn demands the support of the rest. Big Red Club Officers: Martin, Historian; Wilson, Secre- :ary; Blair, Vice-President; Floyd, President. BIG RED CLUB. .

Now five years old, the MBA CHORUS enjoys a somewhat introverted life, performing three times a year: at Christmas, in the spring and at Com- mencement. Although any boy may audition for the Chorus, the group is kept small, for only those who are truly interested in singing and who have no conflicting activities are encouraged to partici- pate. Mr. Tom Rhea, director of the Chorus, en- deavors not only to build a performing company but also to instruct each student in the technicalities of music. The real stars of the stage are the MBA Players, those who comprise the DRAMATICS CLUB. The Players, directed by Mr. Terry Holcomb, may well be the most vibrant organization on campus, hav- ing excited Wallace Hall with two dazzling per- formances this year — Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie and a melodrama The Streets of New York. Much credit for the success of this year’s Dramatics Club goes to its officers Norvell CHORUS — Seated: Lindahl, Sum- mers, Frost, Milam. Second Row: Cummings, Rose, Buchan- an, Steele, Cole. Third Row: Goetz, Brittain, Sargent, Thomi- son, Bond, Thomas. Not Pictured: Marable, Guttman, Rutherford. Rose, John Thomas, and Jim Sugg. To present the plays in an authentic but excitingly unique man- ner, Jim Sugg and Fred Guttman successfully com- bined their talents to transcend the limitations of the Wallace Hall stage by designing and construct- ing sets on par with professional theatre. A club judged successful by both box office receipts and perfection of performance, the Dramatics Club is a most popular vent for one’s expression of per- sonal talents and interests. Existing not so much as an activity for spectators as does the Dramatics Club, the FORENSIC CLUB escapes much of the recognition it deserves. The club, open to any student interested in developing forensic abilities, has in the past several years taken on great impetus under the supervision of Mrs. Selma Ridgway. Mrs. Ridgway’s dedication to help the student develop his fullest potential in public speaking has made the MBA team a top contender throughout the South.

FORENSIC CLUE! — McNamee, Berry, Bryant, Secretary; Brittain, Deaver, Collins, President; Bond, Rose, Program Chairman; Dick Collins, Mathews, Frist, Koonce. Club, distinguished as an affiliate member of the National Forensic League, also holds a chair in the Barkley Forum at Emory University, an honor which only the most elite teams in this part of the country can claim. The debate teams of Deaver Collins and Charlie Bond and of Dick Collins and Chris Berry have travelled almost weekly to schools in neighboring states; few can appreciate the long hours spent in representing the school in tournaments and in com- piling the monstrous file boxes seen around cam- pus. This year, for the first time at MBA, the Forensic Club sponsored its own major tourna- ment; the tournament, held in January, covered the forensic fields of debate and extemporaneous speaking. This spring representatives from the MBA Forensic Club look forward to participating in three more major tournaments — the TSDL, the Mid-South Association of Independent Schools, and the NFL Tournaments.

Standing: Marsh, Wade, McCullough, Harrell, Mann, Trabue, Thomison, Neff, Sawyer, Miller, Malone. Complementing those clubs fostering the de- velopment of the voice are the Art Workshop and the Photography Club. Maintaining the traditional artist atmosphere, the studio of the ART WORKSHOP is situated in the attic of a neighboring house. The class, under the direction of Mrs. Louise LeQuire, meets twice a week to work on art assignments as well as inde- pendent projects. The student artists learn to ex- press their creativity through numerous means — painting in various media, sculpturing, and print- making. Organized several years ago by Mr. Lee Meri- wether, the PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB provides in- dispensible assistance to both school publications. The club meets frequently during the year for slide lectures, monthly assignments, and discussion of projects. The club is open to any boy who is interested in learning the technicalities of taking, developing, and printing pictures. 86 ART WORKSHOP 4 3 ■ i FCA — First Row: Summers, Grice, Baker, Todd, Murphy, Curtis, Ramsey, Bar- rick, Abernathy, Cummings, Webb.

WALLY KUHN, Managing Editor. The BELL RINGER of 1969-1970 has enjoyed another successful year on the Hill. Under Editor- in-Chief Norvell Rose, the paper was published four times during the year, featuring coverage of eventful school activities, class news, sports articles, editorials, and a focus on student and teacher per- sonalities. Of especial interest in this year’s paper were the editorials of the Sounding Board and a series of movie reviews. To the editors who have burnt the midnight oil many a time to meet their deadlines, congratulations for the paper’s success in reflecting current news and opinions to the stu- dent body and others interested in the school.

The Hill in 1970-The BELL By viewing the school from an objective as well as subjective point of view, the 1970 BELL repre- sents an attempt to portray Montgomery Bell Acad- emy with authenticity and to give each Senior a true view of his life on the Hill. The many new innovations — quotations by teachers, more color, a new style of cover and division sections, a more loosely constructed organizations section, and new types of photography — all have been incorporated into this volume for the sole purpose of capturing the atmosphere of MBA in 1970. As for credits, the piecing together of this book would have been impossible without the assistance of Mrs. Carter, John Gibson, and Ed Milam. Espe- cial thanks goes to Arthur Hiller, whose dedication in both time and effort is realized by the excellent photography within these covers. It is with great pride that the editors present this expanded edition of the BELL to the 1970 student body of Montgomery Bell Academy.

The Ultimate Attainment Membership into the fraternity TOTOMOI is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a boy while at MBA. Organized in 1954 by Dr. R. L. Sager, Inman Fox, and Robert McNeilly, the fra- ternity is designed to honor outstanding members of the student body, the alumni, the faculty, and friends of the school. Selection for membership is based primarily on excellence in three of the fol- lowing fields: scholarship, athletics, student gov- ernment, organizations, forensics, dramatics, pub- lications, and citizenship. At the Winter Tapping, President Billy Frist, with the assistance of alumni members Berry Holt and Barry Banker, inducted Seniors Norvell Rose, Jay Ramsey, Edwin Milam, and John Gibson into the honorary organization.

MBA — Where you buy a ticket to work. On Friday, the thirty -first of October, amidst endless torrents of rain and lurking ghosts, the Ladies’ Auxiliary sponsored the annual Spaghetti Supper activities. Due to the diligent efforts of both mothers and students alike, this year’s festiv- ity proved most successful, in spite of the compe- tition of Halloween and hampering rains. The traditional rivalry among classes for a holiday, the attraction of a hundred or more girls to the Hill for pictures, and the efficient service of the General Athletics Moving Company — all contrib- uted to the atmosphere of tense preparation for the supper, football game, and climatic half-time ceremony. Those to whom the credit goes. Queen Katie Haltom escorted by Bill Floyd. Attendant Florence Gifford. Attendant Cathy Leinart. Due to the sudden and unforeseen inclemency of the weather, the presentation of the Queen and the Homecoming Court was postponed until the following week. Escorted by President of the Big Red Club Bill Floyd, Miss Katie Haltom reigned as the 1969 Homecoming Queen. Attending Miss Haltom in the ceremony were Miss Florence Gif- ford and Miss Cathy Leinart, who were escorted by Frank Blair and Blair Wilson. President of the Freshman Class Bill Orand assisted Mr. Charles Warfield in conducting the half-time ceremonies.

Win or lose, rain or shine — the MBA cheer- leaders for 1969-1970 were invariably present at school activities to enliven the student body through both vocal support and beauty. Our cheer- leaders, led by Captain Katie Haltom, are to be highly commended for creating and maintaining a school spirit not only evident on Friday morn- ings but throughout the week. To our cheerleaders we proffer our thanks and deepest appreciation for the myriad hours spent in promoting a sense of loyalty, enthusiasm, and inspiration on the Hill. Dramatic Productions From The Hill Two major productions, each under the direc- tion of Mr. Terry Holcomb, highlighted the year in dramatics at MBA. The Players’ highly praised performance of Tennessee William’s Glass Mena- gerie in November earned the mark of excellence which carried over to their spring production of the popular melodrama The Streets of New York. The Menagerie cast of Renae Pickens as Laura, Peggy Davitt as Amanda, Norvell Rose as Tom, and Mike Regen as Jim ran the gamut of emotions from the comic to the tragic; the audience was overwhelmed by the tenderness of the performance, In both the fall and spring productions, the sets were truly outstanding. The “we-can-do” company known as Gutt-Sugg Productions — headed by Fred Guttman and Jim Sugg — designed, constructed, and decorated the sets for both plays; the com- pany’s remarkable ingenuity was displayed in both the fire and snow scenes in The Streets. With ex- act set designs, pantomime, and sing-along during the intermissions, the production of The Streets of New York interjected the audience into the atmo- sphere of 1850 theatre. If audience reaction is any indication to success, proud should the Players be of each of their pro- ductions this year. Wiring set for Menagerie.

On the scoreboard, MBA did lose more games than it won ; but is this where the true mean- ing, the true purpose, of football is found? To many spectators the answer unfortunately is yes; to the players and coaches, the true value of playing foot- ball includes, but transcends the statistics involved. Those who have played on the 1969 team do not feel that they composed a losing team. Yes, they regret that they were unable to maintain MBA’s COACHES — Jim Rogers, Tommy Owen, Ray Ridgway.

These players have won. They have won on a field which is not always salient to the eyes of the spec- tator; it is a field of maturity and knowledge. Those who have designed and who oversee this field on which the meanings of initiative, dedication, pride, and faith ring so true are the three truly remarkable coaches — Mr. Tommy Owen, Mr. Ray Ridgway, and Mr. Jim Rogers.

With the stimulus of an early score by the Toppers, the young, but determined, Big Red improved on every play. Led by big tackle Dave Goetz, the defensive company succeeded in bottling up the Hillwood offense on all but one morale-shattering punt return. The offensive machinery, led by Summers with 99 yards rushing, did a fine job in spite of the loss of sophomore quarterback Fred Fisher with an ankle sprain. The final score: Hillwood 12, MBA 0. “And when I say break-down . . .” Summers strikes out on own to the dismay of line. Burro downs Burro to make way for Doug. Big Jack Herndon uses weight to advantage. The next week the Big Red rolled down the Hill to face the Antioch Bears. After stymying the Bears’ offense throughout the first quar ter and repeatedly parading the ball deep into Antioch territory, MBA racked up their first score of the year with a toss from Billy Frist to wingback Jack Herndon. Follow- ing up an important interception by Doug Ander- son, Billy again looked to fleet-footed Jack who, running a newly-improvised pattern, scored on a 49-yard completion. Defensive play was sparked by “Dynamic Dave” Goetz, Doug Anderson, and Wade Sutton. Spectators experienced a bitterly fought contest the following week when the Big Red travelled to Franklin to meet the Rebels. Though Franklin scored early in the game, the Burkhalter-directed defense successfully thwarted the Rebels through- out the rest of the game. MBA, however, driving deep into Franklin territory several times, was just unable to strike pay dirt. The final score: 7-0 in favor of the Rebels.

The Big Red displayed poise in a long, second-quarter drive and ran ahead when Fred Fisher sneaked over from the 1-foot line. A key pass reception by John Eason and runs by Bob Latimer and “Buffalo-Bill” Summers were in- strumental in setting up the score. With labyrinth- ical scrambling, Latimer rifled the ball to Herndon for the 2-point conversion. With outstanding play by linemen Frank Floyd and Rob Barrick, MBA played well; but the lightning-quick Tigers proved too much for the younger Big Red. Pearl 34, MBA 8 . MBA, having played three consecutive games away, returned home to face the Overton Bobcats. Through cool offensive maneuvers, MBA controlled the first three quarters of the game. With a 6-yard toss to Herndon in the final seconds of the first half and a 1-yard dive capping a 56-yard march, Fred Fisher accounted for the MBA touchdowns. John Eason, whose fantastic hands kept fans on the edge of their seats, caught four passes for 52 yards. Though indeed the Big Red played well, Overton, in three treacherous plays, pulled the heart-breaker out in the final quarter with a slim 15-14 victory. 6:00, Friday night — all is quiet ■ , h ' [Hjnii iasgiL- r n6 Early the following Friday, the MBA team de- parted for Memphis to meet MUS. After the trip down, chauffeurred by loyal Mr. Glymp, and after a meal highlighted by the appearance of several of Manager Jim Sugg’s acquaintances, the Big Red squared off against the huge backs of MUS. Soon after Fisher’s 58-yard scoring bomb to Herndon, Steve Burkhalter, glimpsing a loose ball, with quick wit retrieved it and galloped for seventy yards. The final score of the night came on Fisher’s completion to A1 Whitson with two minutes left in the game. The score: MUS 27, MBA 19. The Big Red came back home to play the next three contests — the first with a fine Hillsboro team. The Burros never trailed, amassing a 16-0 lead be- fore swift tailback Doug Anderson crossed for the score. A touchdown by Hillsboro was followed by Fisher’s scoring run of 5 yards. Though MBA was down 24-16, the Big Red defense displayed strong determination in balking the Burro’s final goal-line attack. SB ■ Bi I Eason eases for 15. Protectors and protected. Homecoming night: sloshing mud, twenty -two numberless players, and a few loyal, rain-soaked fans. The first half of the game with the highly- ranked Springfield team remained a deadlock. In the third quarter, MBA began to show the effects of battling the much larger Jackets. With six minutes left, a Jacket broke through to score the only touch- down of the game. Disheartening to the players and spectators alike were the five MBA drives that died within the Springfield 35 yard-line. And now . . . he-e-ere’s Stevie ! Bobbie B. pushes Dirty Doug for an extra 3. Eason lowers at sounds of self-defense. The Seniors, who led what had become known the “hard-luck” team of the NIL, played their last game on Frank Andrews Field against Glencliff. A burst of two yards by Anderson in the second quarter opened the scoring for MBA. In the third quarter, Glencliff took the lead 7-6; but not to be outplayed, the Big Red completed a 66-yard drive when Doug churped the final two yards with only 26 seconds left in the game. The final score of the well-deserved victory was 12-7 in favor of the Big Red! MBA finished its 1969 football season against Father Ryan on an ice-covered field at West. Fol- lowing up Burkhalter’s recovery of a fumble, Latimer broke a tackle and streaked 11 yards for the score. Ryan then scored and unfortunately added the extra point to their total — a costly point, for the game ended Ryan 7, MBA 6. Bob boogaloos as Summers strikes for 6. Each player will always remember his strategic block, his completion of a long pass, or his recovery of a fumble. Each will remember the many hours of practice under the sun and the suffering concomitant with such practice. But these memories remain somewhat obscure in comparison with one much more important: the remembrance of what the coaching staff has taught each player. More than about how to play football, each player has learned about character and life. Only one who has played under the guidance of Coach Owen, Coach Rogers and Coach Ridgway can truly understand that any MBA football team is successful, no matter what the final score. Latimer is tickled to score. The “little” Big Red finished the 1969 season with an even record of two wins, two losses, and two ties. Though they were able to register but two games in the winning column, they were only once defeated by more than one touchdown. In both the Hillwood and Antioch games, the JV held their opponents to a 0-0 ball game. In avenging the Var- sity’s slim loss to Franklin, the JV quelled any pos- sible Rebel uprising with an 18-6 victory. The Irish met MBA on Frank Andrews Field only to find the home team too demanding; the JV’s success in co- ordinating their offensive and defensive units ac- counts for their second win. The boys of tomorrow’s Varsity play on today’s JV — what these boys have displayed in the way of ability and determination promises much success for the 1970 Varsity team.

Ill Microbe Football Varsity Basketball Although only two lettermen returned to the 1970 edition of the MBA Varsity Basketball Team, the prospects for a highly successful season were brightened by the addition of several stars from last year’s Junior Varsity and Freshman Teams. Seniors who led his year’s squad were Captain Ed White, Alternate Captain John Gibson, Chip Grice, Jay Ramsey, Ernest Matthews, and Billy Webb. The Juniors contributed Kyle Young and Bill Hick- erson; and Fred Fisher, Bob Latimer, Steve Armi- stead, and Mike Regan represented the Sophomore Class. l Coach John Bennett. “Contacts” Regan lays up two on fast break. A “Long Bod” stretches. Kyle pushes for two. The Big Red began the season on a winning note with an overtime 48-46 upset over archrival Hill- wood. Kyle Young, Mike Regan, and John Gibson led the f iring attack with 13, 12, and 11 points re- spectively. Highlighted by outstanding play, the season rolled on to a record of twelve wins and five losses. During the Christmas holidays, Coach Johnny Bennett’s team walked away with two vic- tories and the second-place trophy in the Hender- sonville Invitational Tournament. In a well-played ball game against Peabody, a team which had pre- viously downed the Big Red, Billy Webb led the scoring with 17 points; every man on the MBA squad registered in the scoring column in the 97-46 shellacking of Peabody. A trip to Memphis left the Big Red with a loss to powerful Memphis Univer- sity School and a win over Christian Brothers. Players introduced, skin given, and ready for Ryan. White sinks two from the circle. Chip fires up as Mike and Perry move in. Flying Fred follows through for two. S-t-r-e-t-c-h In the first part of the season, the Big Red dis- played its capacity to win and potential to be a great team through impressive individual play such as Mike’s 28 points in the first Peabody game and Perry Gibson’s 18 rebounds against Ryan. After the fast start, however, the MBA team hit a dis- aster streak, falling to opponents in eight consecu- tive games. Not to be discouraged, the players came back with an impressive win over Father Ryan in the first round of the 19th District Tour- nament and a fourth-place finish in the district. This finish enabled the team to meet Gallatin in the first round of the Regional Tournament in Clarksville. A nip and tuck ball game in the first half ended in a tough victory for Gallatin, whose hot shooting proved barely out of reach of the Big Red ball club. Kyle gets two free . . . As Ed works free for two. The season started out hot and fast under the leadership of John Gibson and Captain Ed White. But suddenly, Ed received a foot injury, and si- multaneously the team struck hard luck. Regardless of the win-loss record, the attitude and determina- tion displayed by both the players and coaches made the season rewarding for the team and school alike.

Having graduated one-half of last year’s starting wrestlers, the 1969-1970 wrestling team began practice confident but somewhat uncertain as to who would fill the vacated weight classes. The spots were more than adequately filled with top wrestlers; the squad after downing both Hillwood and Franklin, the two top contenders in the divi- sion, drove on to cop the Western Division Title and second place position in the city with an 8-3-1 record. This year’s team was inspired and led by cap- tains Dick Workman and Deaver Collins — Deaver finishing a successful high school wrestling career with a 7-1-1 record and Dick with an astounding 11-1 dual meet record. In the Regional Tournament the MBA grapplers distinguished themselves — Workman capturing first place and both Steve Burkhalter and Bill Knox capturing fourth place positions. Steve finished with a solid 10-2 record while Clark Baker, who participated on the Varsity team for the first time, manifested his skills on the mat through a 7-3 record. Dick, in the State Tour- nament at Hillwood, formally ended the 1969-1970 wrestling season at MBA by placing third in the state.

Starters on the team included Deaver in the 122- pound class, Chip Hill in the 145, Dick in the 175, Clark Baker in the 185, and Steve Burkhalter in the heavyweight class. Returning next season to main- tain MBA’s high status in wrestling will be this year’s starters Bill Knox at 98, Ran Batson at 107, Jim Hamilton at 115, Tad McWhirter at 130, Tom Curtis at 138, Sam Rutherford at 155, and Bill Oelrich at 165. Coach John Riggins’ boys did a truly outstanding job this year; with these return- ing experienced wrestlers, next year’s season prom- ises to be a bright one on the mats. Baseball The prospects for the 1970 version of the MBA Varsity Baseball Team are indeed quite promising, for ten veterans from last year’s NIL Champion- ship squad are returning. With a strong and thorough pre-season workout and past experience in the summer baseball program, the team will strive to emulate the performance of the 1969 squad. The brunt of the pitching load will lie in the hands of Senior Ed White and Sophomore Bob Latimer. Also holding top fielding and hitting po- sitions will be Seniors Maury Tidwell, Jay Ramsey, and Pat Curly; Junior Brant Lipscomb; and Soph- omores Ernie Leonard and Fred Fisher. With the return of many veterans and especially with the superb coaching ability of Coach Johnny Ben- nett, a delightful and auspicious season is in store for the 1970 Baseball Team.

Seeking the school’s twenty-sixth NIL Championship in twenty-seven years will be experienced Seniors Blair Wilson, Ed Milam, and Dick Cummings; underclassmen who will be hot contenders in the league are Rip Tram- mell, Dan Buttrey, Palmer Jones, and Gep Nelson. Characterized by skill, confidence, good player- coach relationships, and competitive desire, the 1970 squad has all those qualities essential to win- ing. The school will take great pride in watching the MBA netters play and hopefully advance to a high position in the state. ; | y f Hi A Dan slam. First Row: Buttrey, Jones, Trammell.

Track Although losing a large number of standouts from last year’s team, the 1970 Varsity Track Team offers outstanding potential in both areas of run- ning and field events. Sprints and the short-dis- tance relays are ably represented by speedsters Jack Herndon, Doug Anderson, and Dickie Over- ton. The mile and long-distance relays could prove to be the team’s forte with veteran cross-country stars Jamie Stifler and John Abernathy leading the way. The field events will be headed by John Gib- son, Abernathy, and Anderson in the jumping events and by Steve Burkhalter in the shot-put and discus. Though hampered by both a relatively brief time to practice and by the absence of a track, this year’s team is capable of becoming a top NIL con- tender on the track circuit. MBA’S PONY EXPRESS. Golf To nearby McCabe Golf Course travel daily the MBA Golf Team, who, under the direction of Coaches Rogers and Fairbairn, practice long hours in order to perpetuate the winning tradition of past MBA golf teams. In spite of its youth, the team looks forward to a prosperous season and will drive toward the coveted NIL title. Experienced Bill Earthman returns to lead the MBA linksmen; sea- soned underclassmen who will assist Bill are Mitch- ell Garriott, Whit Holcomb, Cayce Fuqua, David Matthews, and Chuck Lawrence. Those boys and the many others who will be contending for the top positions on the team promise to add another fine record to the spring-sports activities on the Hill.

Led by veteran Jamie Stifler and first-year men John Abernathy and Clay Stephens, the squad has shown MBA’s ability to surpass other schools in still another athletic field. In accomplishing its praiseworthy record of five wins and no losses, the cross-country team defeated Ryan four times, outran BGA and Franklin three times, and crushed Lipscomb twice. The Microbe cross-country team distinguished itself when it became the Harpeth Valley Confer- ence Champions: Joe Collier, Cliff Greer, and Hill Granberry placed first, fifth, and sixth respectively in a field of approximately one hundred con- testants. The year of 1969-1970 marked numerous “firsts” for a sport becoming increasingly popular on the Hill; it was the first time for the MBA team to win a meet, the first time to compete in the regionals, and the first time to receive varsity letters for their contribution to the school. Riflery Due to the fact that riflery is not the spectator sport as are most other sports on the Hill, it escapes much of the recognition and praise which it so highly deserves. One of the most successful teams on the Hill, the MBA Rifle Team ranked third in the city in week-to-week competition. In the prone, sitting, and kneeling tournaments, the team placed first and in the standing tournament, a close third. In the four-position match, which is the culmina- tion of the team’s activities, the team composed of Captain Norvell Rose, Ed Stevens, Tommy Par- rish, David McKie, and Dick Koonce received the Youth Incorporated first-place trophy. Congratula- tions for a fine season to a “behind-the-scene” team. With twelve of the fourteen marksmen re- turning to fire next year, a continuation of success appears certain. Kneeling: Stevens, Cummings, Koonce, Captain Rose, Morrison, Parrish, Van Cleave. Standing: Sutton, Purdy, Allen, Sargent Thomison, Meadows, McKie. t ; ■ jp ■ v vs « • Irr 4 fyeowie MORRIS RENT-ALL Center INCORPORATED Whatever your needs may be — We probably have it! 6 Convenient Locations CORPORATION CAPITAL 0 “A different kind of Money Service for all the Community ” Compliments of HOLIDAY SHOES SENIOR PICTURES TAKEN BY CAIN-SLOAN-JEAN SARDOU STUDIOS Pioneering a New Concept in Health Care HOSPITAL CORPORATION OF AMERICA 14a Congratulations to The Class of 1970 DELTA SIGMA FRATERNITY Gamma Eta Chapter FOSTER CREIGHTON COMPANY SINCE 1885 C ' Centennial nniversary f C jj-avnily d radition at J!t£. 4. 145 Compliments of DOMINION INSURANCE AGENCY 4110 Hillsboro Road Burrus Hardware and Gifts 269-3597 Green Hills Village - 1 .
