Editor-in-chief: SAMUEL NEEDUMN FENTRESS Photography Editor: WILLIAM THOMAS ALDERSON, III DEDICATION Intelligent, thoughtful, conscientious, humorous, selfless-Michael Drake is all of these. He coaches three major sports, prepares four history courses, and uses what little spare time he has to further his own education. Despite all these demands on his time, he is always willing to lend an ear to a student’s problem, all the while maintaining a favorable rapport with the faculty and administration. It is with great pride that the editors dedicate the 1973 Bell to Mr. Drake. CAMPUS LIFE 5 (? O t e ‘4 Sitvl WWn Pours vor‘.’«S — Bro«t CKJ H«ck fo.ll ■ ' 6.

His total dedication to the school has raised it to the lofty perch it now occupies among outstanding preparatory schools. No job is too big or too small for him to handle, from shoveling snow to filling in college applications. His adherence to high standards— in honor, in academics, in athletics, and school spirit— has resulted in the excellent reputation which the school and its students enjoy.

President Morgan Entrekin The Student Council, composed of the sixteen high school class officers and one junior school representative, is a reflection of student ideas on government. In an effort to continue improving MBA without harming its foundation of gentleman, scholar, and athlete, the Council formed and presented a list of resolves to be considered by the administration and faculty, thus trying to fulfill its responsibility of acting as a liaison between the students and faculty. Under the leadership of the senior officers— President Morgan Entrekin, Vice- president Rick Ownbey, Secretary Sam Fentress, and Treasurer Michael Cohen— the Council also judged on major discipline problems in its function as a judicial body. Offering a joint private school political forum, collecting money for the school help before Christmas, and selling MBA T-shirts were some of the other Student Council activities. It is hoped that through this year’s actions the students and faculty may have a more mutually responsive attitude which would enable the school to grow into a better preparatory school promoting joint student-faculty understanding, gentlemanly behavior, academic excellence, and personal maturity and responsibility. HONOR COUNCIL Probably the greatest distinguishing factor between this school and others similar to it is the MBA Honor System. The system was founded on the belief that the man is not complete who lacks a sense of honor. The purpose of the Honor Council is to promote a strong sense of honesty In the school, as well as to try and sentence violators of the Honor Code. This year the Honor Council has spent considerable time in talking to the Junior School, for it is here that a sense of honor should and can be instilled with the most success. The Council has emphasized the priority of the Honor System over academics or discipline. Finally, the Council has tried to make the Honor System more prominent in the students’ minds by revealing its actions and precepts more often and more publicly. Hopefully this year has seen more concreteness lent to the Honor System and a growing trend toward school-wide integrity. President Brock Baker From Left: J. Rebrovick, S. Brittain, W. Morgan, T.

The National Merit Finalists comprise a group of about 14,500 students representing less than one-half of one percent of the nation’s graduating secondary school seniors. The stan- dings are determined by the National Merit Test and administered to high school juniors. It is indeed an honor for MBA to have seventeen Finalists. The largest number of Finalists in MBA history, these boys demonstrate the academic ex- cellence to become the nation’s future leaders. Fron Left: Bill Harbison, VALEDICTORIAN, Peter Jacobson, SALUTUTORIAN. The Big Red Club, the largest and one of the most important clubs at MBA, is dedicated to the improvement of school spirit. Open to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the Big Red Club strives for the largest, most enthusiastic support possible at all athletic contests. Directed by President Tommy Patterson, Vice- President Webb Earthman, Secretary- Treasurer Tommy Callaway, and Historian Steve Summers, this year’s club has made several small changes which have enhanced school spirit. By cheering at wrestling matches, by electing more girl cheerleaders than before, and by attending more athletic contests than ever before, this year ' s cheerleaders with the cooperation of the students were able to add to the enthusiasm and school spirit of MBA. The officers of the Big Red Club serve as cheerleaders along with eight girls from St. Cecelia and Harpeth Hall. The Big Red Club provides a valuable service for MBA. This year’s Bell represents a not-too-radical break with tradition. The generai format has been retained, whiie severai aspects of the book have been changed. Senior Superiatives” have been dropped, as have sponsors. Among the additions are widened sports coverage-karate, ice hockey, swimming- and an increased emphasis on the students’ culturai surroundings. Aiong the culturai iine, coverage of drama has been increased, and a section on MBA art has been added, it is hoped that the iayout has become more creative and pleasing, and that the book in generai is more enjoyable.

Following a course begun last year, the 72-73 Bell Ringer has attempted to offer the students a potent publication. It has, however, made several changes from last year’s paper— changes ranging from advertisements to an entirely new masthead and a clean layout. Not only the appearance but also the content of the Bell Ringer has changed from that of last year’s paper. In an attempt to provide insight rather than a superficial view of occurrences, the staffs have offered in-depth analyses of various things. In sports, Paul DeWitt has given an objective view of the various athletic teams. Morgan Entrekin’s “Kulture Korner” has provided a novel point of view into wide-ranging attitudes. John Brooks has provided thorough coverage of news events and Bill Alderson has supplied the paper with excellent photographs. Rupert Palmer, David Wells, Howard Frost, and David Cassell, although not as recognized, have all added to the overall strength of the paper. Editors-in-chief Webb Earthman and Rick Ownbey have attempted to offer divergent view-points while providing a strong basis for the free expression of throughts in the hope of future journalistic advancements of the paper.

Under the guiding hand of Mr. Poston, the club’s year consisted of three shows: An Evening of One- Act Plays, J.B., and Animal Farm. The year ' s success is due largely to the talent of the senior class, including Andy Stumb, David Matthews, Peter Jacobson, Steve Allen, Tom Cummings, and John Wampler. Talented underclassmen include David Wells, Bob Tosh, Guy Marsh, and Rupert Palmer. Prospects are excellent for the Dramatics Club, and MBA can expect the best in entertainment for years to come. 88 FORENSICS CLUB One of the most engaging experiences that MBA has to offer comes in the form of forensics. The speech program encompasses debate, extemporaneous speaking, oratory, and various forms of dramatic acting. The efforts of this year’s forensic team have been particuiarly successfui. The debate team, coached by Mrs. Ridgway, has participated in tournaments in Tennessee, Kentucky, itiinois, Georgia, Aiabama and North Carolina, in ail of these tournaments, Mrs. Ridgway’s well-coached debaters were strong competition to other high schools all across the nation, particularly in the large Illinois tournament where John Bow won the top debater award. The members of the forensics team, as well as the debaters, also shared in the honor at these tournaments. Mrs. Ridgway anticipates a strong forensics team next year, despite the loss of most of the varsity members of the team. In recognition of the importance of forensics, the graduating seniors of the forensic team would like to wish Mrs. Ridgway success in her future years as coach of the forensics team and director of the speech department. 89 CHORUS This year the goal of the MBA Chorus, directed by Mr. Hal Hopson, has been the perfection of tonal quality. The chorus performed twice before Christmas, in spring with Harpeth Hall, and at Commencement. The student body also enjoyed a performance by Girl’s Preparatory School Glee Club in February. With few members returning, the chorus had thirty students enrolled, with Tommy Cummings and Charles Benneyworth serving as this year’s officers. The chorus extends its appreciation to Mr. Hopson and Mrs. Bishop, who devoted much of their time to the advancement of applied arts at MBA. Front Row (From Loft): Mr. Hopson, E. Archer, J. Olive, H.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB This year, under the leadership of President David Small, Vice-President Bill Alderson, and Secretary-Treasurer John Bond, the MBA Photography Club viewed education as its main objective. With the assistance of Mr. Lee Meriwether, founder of the club, the officers coordinated many programs teaching everything from basic camera handling to more sophisticated composition, and photography as an art. Each month, severai meetings were heid with slide shows and guest speakers. In addition, members were required to prepare assignments on which they receive criticism essentiai in their understanding of their shortcomings as photographers. This year’s photography program ciimaxed in a photo exhibit of the work of members of the club. First Row (From Left): G.Wynn, K. Hibbits, W. Hucaby, J. Hamilton, G. Hicks, R. Harden. Second Row: J.

EPHESIANS 2:8 Designed as a means of communicating the work of God to the MBA students, Ephesians 2:8 was created this year so that the Christians at MBA couid share their religious experiences with each other. With the text of Ephesians 2:8 that one is saved by grace, a gift from God— the leaders have based their discussions solely on excerpts from the Bible, so that various human philosophies would not confuse important issues. At each meeting, the Ephesians’ members first discussed various basic aspects of Christianity such as grace, the resurrection, salvation, and heaven. The group then launched into a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the gospel of John and into the discussion of other various topics for the remainder of the year. By offering the MBA student a chance for Christian fellowship, Ephesians 2:8 may perhaps fill a gap In the students’ spiritual life, a gap that has been present too long. Front Row (From Left): B.

The victories can be attributed to the enthusiasm and competitiveness of MBA’s Chess Club, along with the helpful coaching of Mr. Fairbairn and the opportunities afforded by the library chess room. Chess activities range from “committee” chess in the chess room to intramural tournaments, to city, state, and regional competition. The future is sure to bring much recognition for the talented MBA Chess Team. GOURMET COMMITTEE First Row: B. Landstreet, J. Peterson, D. Klausner, C. McClure, T. Loventhal, R. Palmer. Second Row: T. Hoffman, D. MacLeod The Gourmet Committee ivas founded in 1969 after the notorious schooi iunch boycott. The purpose of the ciub is to act as an advisary group between the students, the iunchroom staff, and the caterers (Beile Meade Cafeteria). Under the abie ieadership of head-hedonist Dick Klausner, the committee and the other senior officers Chris McClure, Dudley Creighton, and Tom Loventhal have held several meetings with the authorities. Major grievances concern the amount of grease found in the French fries, the poor quality of the turkey sandwiches, and the small drinking cups. Immediate results were hamburger patties increased in diameter and larger drink cups for the standard fifteen cents. Monumental effort has again been put forth to maintain the high standards of the MBA cafeteria. Front Row(From Left): T. Hoffman, R. Palmer, J. Koenig. Second Row: B. Stearns, M. Batson, T. Baker, J. Peterson. As Edgar Allen Poe once said, checkers, using simpler moves and deeper psychology, is in facta more intellectual game than chess, which relies on complexity and memory. Under the leadership of Mr. Young, the faculty advisor and resident expert, the Checker Club started its second year with intramural tournaments and plans tor interscholastic competition. In the words of President Rupert Palmer, Checkers is perhaps the game most intellectually suited for the typical MBA student. 93 F C A The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a nation- wide organization whose purpose is to spread the word of Jesus Christ to its members and to encourage its members to become leaders both in the church and in the community. The organization is open to all students who have an interest in athletics and in Christianity. This year the F.C.A. heard such speakers as Bill Wade, Bo Patton, and Hank Duvier, and discussed various spiritual topics. In the words of the Reverend Billy Graham, The F.C.A. is the finest single group in the nation in exemplifying Christianity in their personal lives and witnessing to the youth of America.” Front Row (From Lott): J.

The Junior and Senior Honor Societies are honorary scholastic organizations in which membership is limited to high school students with three consecutive semesters’ average of ninety or, in the seventh and eighth grade, three semesters of ninety average. Membership in these societies represents less than 5% of the MBA student body.

Membership is indeed an honor, as 23 of 450 students are selected for the club. Each member is selected on the basis of ths character and service ability. During the second year under its newly-written constitution, the Service Club has performed several tasks. Besides the traditional job of collecting money at basketball games and wrestling matches and ushering at football games, the members have performed many duties in the community such as collecting donations for the Heart Fund and the Cancer Society, and sponsoring a canned goods drive. Thus, this year’s Service Club has attempted to fulfill its purpose and to continue its tradition of performing services to both the school and the community. Front Row (From Lott): S. Fentress, L.

The honorary fraternity was founded by Dr. R. L. Sager in 1954 to promote the highest development of an MBA student in a balanced and gentlemanly fashion in all MBA activities and traditions. Specifically, to qualify for membership a student must have a necessary number of points in at least three of the following fields: scholarship; athletics; student government; organizations; forensics; dramatics; publications; and citizenship. Points are awarded on the basis of length of service, achievement, and leadership in these areas. In general, the student must have proved himself in service to the school, must have maintained loyalty, love, and respect for the school and all its principles, and must possess high character and ideals. From Left: Webb Earthman, Howard Frost, Brock Baker, Rick Ownbey, Sam Fentress. 97 HOMECOMING Half-time ceremonies saw Homecoming Queen Lee Lee Bright and Attendants Valerie LeWitt and Katy Martin presented before an enthusiastic crowd. The Monday Holiday was given to the seventh, eighth, tenth, and eleventh grades. Following the heartbreaking loss to Old Hickory Academy, an overflow crowd attended Stone Free, the combo sponsored by the Big Red Club. All in all, the 1972 MBA Homecoming was a great success. Friday, October 13th was not unlucky, for the Ladies’ Auxilliary, under the skillful direction of Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Stengel, executed one of the most successful spaghetti suppers in MBA history. Long lines, attractive waitresses, and delicious spaghetti were characteristic of the cold, damp night as the two football teams were preparing for confrontation. COMPUTER In January of this year, Montgomery Bell Academy acquired a teletype-printer access to Vanderbilt University ' s Sigma 7 computer. The teletype consists of a standard typewriter keyboard with several extra keys. Attached to the console is a tape input output punch. Programs may be typed and saved on tape and run later at the user’s convenience. The computer is extremely fast and easy to use. A complex computation takes about one-twentieth of a second, and only several long programs will take longer than a minute. It has excellent applications in physics and all branches of math; in addition, it is pre-programmed for games and commonly used functions. The computer terminal is a welcome addition to Montgomery Bell Academy and we are looking forward to Its continued use in the years to come. 101 This year’s major production wasJ.B., by Archibaid MacLeish. Running three evenings, the show conciuded a successful run. The play is certainly the most difficult ever attempted by the MBA Players. The success of the production hinged on maximum effort by all the cast and stage crew, with the demanding lead rolls being filled by Peter Jacobson, David Wells, John Wampler, and Lisa Burrus. Andy Stumb deserves credit for his stage design, the execution of which was carried out primarily by himself and Tom Cummings. Mr. Poston also deserves credit and respect for his intelligent directing and for his patience. For many students, the most enioyable part of the school day is the assembly program. This year the assembly committee did a fine job in bringing a wide range of speakers. Among the subjects were women ' s liberation, China, Black America, Christianity, Joe Lewis ' boxing career, the demerit system, Tarzan of the Coivs, Girl ' s Preparatory School ' s Glee Club, the Eleven Reasons , McGovern, Nixon, and pep rallies. One of the highlights was freshman Will Ransom ' s piano concert. One disappointment was Mr. Carter ' s cancellation of his annual imitation of Santa Claus. All in all, however, the assembly programs made MBA life much more enjoyable. NEW ART BUILDING Artistic opportunities at MBA were greatiy extended with this year ' s addition of the art and speech buiiding, made possible by the MBA Auxiliary and the Fathers Club. The building’s official opening occurred on December 10 with a large exhibit of work done by MBA students and alumni. Most of the large crowd attending was startled to see the large black sculpture designed by eighth grader John Hamilton. Throughout the year, there were several other exhibits in the library. The art shown on these pages is either student art, loaned art b y professional artists, orartin MBA ' s permanent collection. ART VARSITY FOOTBALL The Big Red opened its season against Glenciiff before a smaii crowd with few MBA supporters. The Big Red outmatched Gienciiff but failed to get the ball across the goal line. Although MBA held a statistical edge, the offense was unable to move the ball and was forced to give it up three times inside the Glenciiff twenty yard line. The defense played well by keeping the Colts off the scoreboard, but the season started on a flat note with a scoreless tie. In the second game, the Big Red hosted Millwood. Early in the first quarter, John McClellan stole a pitch-out from Topper quarterback Phil Stinson and ran forty yards for a touchdown. The offense was led by Dudley Creighton and Thany Mann, but Millwood ' s tenacious defense prevented the Big Red from adding any points. Millwood managed two quick touchdowns, and the game was over, sending Millwood home victorious 12-7.

After an open date with preparations for highiy ranked Overton, MBA traveiied to the Bobcats ' fieid. in his first start, Jon Nesbitt gained seventy yards in fifteen carries. Frank Garrison piayed weii aiso, but for the third straight week the offense faiied to score. Overton showed its strength in its three backs who gained over seventy yards apiece and handed MBA its second defeat in three starts, 17-0. The next week, the Big Red got revenge in Frankiin by defeating the Rebeis 28-12. Frank Garrison gained eighty-two yards in seventeen carries, but an injury knocked him out for most of the rest of the season. MBA took a 28-0 haif- time iead, but surrendered tweive points in the pouring rain of the second half. MBA met Hillsboro the following week at the Burro stadium. Though holding an upper hand in the statistics, MBA failed to put as many points on the board as Hillsboro. Wade Thor- nton gained 87 yards in eighteen carries while Thany Mann had 56 yards in ten carries. With a minute to play in the final quarter, MBA had a first down on the four yard line but failed to score, losing 16-12. On homecoming night, MBA battled Old Hickory Academy from Jackson, Tennessee. Wade Thornton led the MBA offense with 89 yards in fourteen carries. Although MBA held Old Hickory Academy scoreless in the first half, the damage had already been done, OHA having scored fourteen points. MBA lost 14-13 making their record 1-4-1. The Big Red played well in their previous two games, so the stage was set for Montgomery Bell to play the spoiler ' s role. On a cold Friday night, Montgomery Bell travelled to Springfield. The Big Red, if they were to salvage the season from ruins, had better begin to roll. The Yellowjackets of Springfield always ha ve given MBA a tough fight and tonight was to be no exception. The defense of the Big Red was superb preventing Springfield from putting any points on the scoreboard. Thany Mann led the offense with 38 yards in five carries while Jon Nesbitt and Wade Thornton scored both touchdowns. Robert Harris kicked the only field goal of the year— twenty-six yards— to top off an 18-0 victory. The Big Red was then ready to take on a Pearl team which was at that time ranked fourth in the state. The N.I.L’s leading rusher, Michael Miller, was held to twenty-one yards in eleven carries by a revolutionary defense devised by the coaches. A solid defense with the pass rush of Chris McClure and Steve Moll provided the edge in giving the Big Red an advantageous field , position. Frank Garrison had sixty-three yards in twelve carries while Thany Mann had seventy-six yards in fourteen carries. A Denny Thompson pass to Hill Cranberry produced the go-ahead touchdown fora fired up varsity football team. Now 3-4- 1 after two decisive victories, MBA was definitely on the road to a respectable season after a few poor breaks at the beginning of the year. The following week saw MBA meet Antioch at the home of the Bears. After the victory over Pearl the previous week, the Big Red had proven to themselves and others that they were capable of playing good football. In the first quarter, Denny Thompson threw a fifty-seven yard pass to Wade Thornton who was dropped at the five yard line. Two plays later Jon Nesbitt took the ball across, and the conversion was good, making the score 7-0. After another score, the final touchdown came on a twelve yard Thompson pass to Dan Barge. The final score was 20-0, making MBA ' s record 4-4-1 with one game to play. What could be more appropriate for the determining factor of the season than a game with Ryan? A possible winning season was at stake for MBA; Ryan, with a victory, could avenge last year ' s defeat and retain a high state ranking. In the initial quarter, Russell Carpenter rushed in to block a Ryan punt which was recovered on the four yard line. On the next play, Hill Cranberry plunged over for the first score. The extra point was good, and MBA went ahead 7-0. Steve Moll and Warren Johnson then trapped an Irish back in the end zone for a safety. MBA added another touchdown to make the final score 16-0. Frank Garrison had 100 yards in twenty carries, and Dick Klausner came up with two Ryan passes to lead the team in interceptions for the year. Once again the defen- sive unit was superb by keeping Ryan off the scoreboard. The season was over, and what could be said? An impressive string of victories in the last half of the season had saved the disgrace of a losing season. But more im- portant, Coaches Ridgeway, Haury, and Medlin proved that they were successful by tran- sforming a young team of little experience into a group of potential winners. All indications suggest that the winning football tradition at Montgomery Bell will continue. IN MEMORIAM The Nashville community was saddened this summer with the passing of Dr. Chris C. McClure, Jr., neurosurgeon, football team physician, and father of two MBA students. The loss is particularly felt by those of the MBA student body and alumni who came to know, love, and respect Dr. McClure for his faithful service to MBA since 1952 as team physician and for his loyal support of MBA athletics. I 18 JUNIOR VARSITY The Junior Varsity squad compiled a 2-2-1 record for the 1972 football season. Generally, this year’s team was very sound defensively but not as impressive offensively as had been expected. On September 21, the Junior Varsity played host to Cohn; and the Big Red started the season off on the right foot with a commanding 28-6 victory over the Black Knights. In the first half, Robert Harris ran for two touchdowns and threw for another in a powerful offensive display. Substitution held the J. V. from running the score higher. The following week, the Junior Varsity travelled to Overton to face a more powerful team than they had the week before. The Big Red’s inability to generate any offense coupled with the ball control of the Bobcats ultimately spelled a 20-0 MBA defeat. On Thursday, Octobers, the Junior Varsity ventured to Franklin only to emerge for the second straight year with a hard-fought victory. A rally in the final quarter which accounted for two touchdowns produced a 13-6 win for the Big Red. In a well-contested battle, the next week, the J. V. lost to a sound Millwood team. The Big Red led for most of the game, but in the final two minutes, the Toppers escaped a loss with a thirty-five yard touchdown pass. In the season finale, MBA held off a superior Ryan team for the whole game. Five Irish turnovers inside the Big Red’s territory kept Ryan from scoring, so the Junior Varsity managed to salvage a 0-0 tie. Throughout the year, many players showed indications that they would be capable of participating on a varsity level. Nith the success of many new players, this year has proven to be very productive.

Outclassed in only one game against Cameron, the frosh had to settle for a losing season, with wins over Apollo and Millwood. Stating that this class has more talent than recent freshman classes. Coach Jefferson feels that numerous players will be able to fill varsity positions. This season proved to be an instructive one in which many players gained the experience needed to continue their career in the successful football program at Montgomery Bell.

The little’’ Big Red, led by tailback Raymond Lackey and quarterback John McWhirter posted wins over Christ the King and Nashville Christian School. In particular, tailback Lackey, who scored seven touchdowns in the course of the season, should develop into a valuable running back. In general, there are many prospects for upcoming varsity football teams. MBA 20 ChrlsttheKingO MBA 25 Nash.

This year, for the first time, MBA had the privilege of sending a member of the team to the State Tournament. In the individual competition, held at Percy Warner Park, Edwards Park finished fifteenth in the state, while setting a school record with the time of 10:43. The Microbe Cross Country Team was led by Billy Anderson, and with fine performance from Andy Bishop, David Moench, Trey Sutter, and seventh grader Ed Archer, the Microbes finished 3rd overall in the Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference. This grueling sport is sure to have a bright future at MBA. In only its second year as an official N.i.L. sport, cross country proved to be one of MBA ’s most competitive sports this past fall. Coached by Mr. Novak, the Big Red, with a 5-1 dual meet record, finished second in the N.I.L. western division, fourth in the N.i.L., and fifth in the region. In individual competition, Edwards Park finished fourth in the N.I.L., and seventh in the Regional. The only dual-meet loss of the season ivas to western division winner Antioch on the second day of school. Front Row (From Left): L. Coble, B. Dickerson, J. Galllvan, G. Chazen, H. Kirkpatrick, C.

This year ' s team opened the toughest schedule in MBA’s history at Antioch where the Bears clawed the Big Red in the last few minutes for a decisive victory. The belated presence of both Frank Garrison and Greg McNair in the starting line- up for the first time was a sign of better days, following many early season losses. Front Row (From Lett): S. Holt, J. ThonI, R. Harris, R. Trickett, B. Turney. Second Row: B. Van Cleave J Voigt H Granberv F Garrison, G. McNair, D. Jones, W. Thornton, J. Deal, D. Hibbitts. ’ 124 Better play and hustle became evident In close losses to Pearl, Glencllff, and BGA. The year’s shocker came as the Big Red avenged an earlier loss by dealing Ryan a one-point set-back. McNair ' s 19 points and a foul shot by Garrison with 30 seconds left were Important factors along with outstanding team play. The following week MBA slid to an easy decision over CMA, but MBA had not Ironed out Its troubles overnight. Unfortunately, the team reverted to Its losing habits for the following weeks of the season. However, clutch free throw shotting by Steve Holt and Joe ThonI gave the team a nine point upset victory over Cohn In the final home game of the year. In the 14th District Tournament, MBA again faced Cohn and rallied to a two point overtime win after a nine point third quarter deficit. VARSITY BASKETBALL Pearl again proved to be too much for the Big Red in the season finale. In spite of the fact that the victories were few and far between, Coach Bennett did an excellent job of maintaining student and player morale. Greg McNair led the team in field goal percentage, free throw percentage rebounds, and in scoring with a 14.4 average. Garrison, although injured near the beginning of the season, had a 10.5 average and was the team ' s other double figure scorer. Mr. Bennett’s rebuilding year was over; and having developed a team consisting of many Juniors and Sophomores, he will certainly have an experienced group next year. 126 JUNIOR VARSITY MBA ’s Junior Varsity Basketbail Team compieted its 1972-73 season with ten wins against tweive iosses. The high point of the season came during back to back wins on the road against Hume Fogg and Gienciiff. Led by the outside shotting of Jimmy Deai, Russ Heidman, and Jack Nuismer, the J. V., in the finai minute of piay, seated their eighth win by handing Hume Fogg a 52-48 ioss. Highiighted by the hustle of David Jacobs and Scott Tygard with outstanding defense from Johnny Parker, the Junior Varsity avenged its e riier ioss to Gienciiff by staging an exciting comeback victory on Jim Harbison’s last-second basket. Under Coach Tillman’s direction, the J. V. has sought to develop fresh talented players into mature knowledgeable ones by giving them valuable experience. Although the losing record is indicative of an unsuccessful season, Mr. Tillman produced many promising cagers for the needy varsity. Front Row (From Loft): D.Jacobs, J. Nuismer, J. Deal, S.

I27 FRESHMAN The Freshman Basketball team, under the coaching of the experienced Mr. Young, finished the season with an impressive 10-6 record. Scoring wins over Hillwood, Ryan, and BGA throughout the season, the freshman cagers worked well as a talented young team. Under the leadership of Bobby Thym at point and Jeff Rappuhn under the boards, the freshmen refused to fold under pressure as exemplified by their two overtime victories. Mike Farmer had the team high with seventeen points against the Beiievue Owis. Looking to the future, Mr. Bennett ciaimed this ciass to be the most taiented in years. The freshmen gained vaiuabie experience from their many dose games, and Mr. Young produced aimost as many favorabie resuits. Certainty, Mr. Bennett ' s varsity team has been presented a crop of future tatent. Front Row: J. Daniel, D. MInnIgan, J. Hill, B. Thym, B. May. Second Row: K. Key, K. Witt, B. Rich, W. Neal, J.

I28 MICROBE BASKETBALL During the regular season, the microbes, who later placed second in the Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference, compiled a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. The eighth grade basketball team was awarded second place after dropping a tough 26-21 loss against BGA at Franklin. Gage Whittier led the team in scoring with ten points and in rebounds with eight. Hal West, the excellent dribbling guard for the microbes. made the all-Tournament team. Reaching the finals was not an easy feat because the microbes had to defeat a tall Northside team. They accomplished this with a victory of 53-35. Coach Alexander came through with his usual successful performance, and he has provided Mr. Young with some excellent material for next year’s freshman team. Front Row (From Left): G. Estes, S.

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL 1 29 VARSITY WRESTLING With 10 out of 12 starters returning to this year ' s varsity wrestiing team, the Big Red grappiers finished the season weil with an 8-2 record. The team tost onty to Father Ryan and Overton in very dose matches, where 2 or 3 individual matches determined the outcome. Resounding victories were scored over Maplewood, McGavock, and Hillwood, feats which placed the team second in the NIL’S AAAA Division behind Father Ryan. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the team ' s championship at the Overton Invitational Tournament in December. With Michael Cohen, Marc Stengel, and Chris McClure taking individual championships, the team steam- rolled past second-place Dupont, almost doubling their score. In the District Tournament the team did not do quite so well, only qualifying 7 of the 12 starters for the Regional Tournament, while finishing 3rd overall. Front Row (From Lett): M. Cohen, M. Brown, H. Frost, B. Baker, T. Baker, W. Mathews, T. McLaughin. Second Row: Mr. Jefferson, B. Branch, B. Scanlan, C. McClure, C. Regen, T. Mann, M. Stengel. 130 In the Regional, however, the team made up for its poor showing in the District by qualifying 5 wrestlers for the State Tournament. Michael Cohen and Brock Baker had individual Championships, while ThannyMann took 2nd place and Chris McClure fourth. Todd Baker avenged a previous loss to earn 3rd place at 155 and a berth in the State Tournament, two v ery respectable achievements. The 5 State Qualifiers continued their drive at Brainerd, where Brock Baker finished 3rd and Thanny Mann 4th. Special recognition goes to Michael Cohen who wound up a perfect 26-0 season with the first place spot at 101. Michael also made MBA history by being selected NIL’S most Valuable Wrestler by the JenT essear . VARSITY WRESTLING r- ;?s ; The team, under the leadership of Captains Baker and Cohen, has had an overall successful season. Mr. Jefferson, in his second year of coaching wrestling, has guided the team well, and his Instruction will certainly be a valuable asset to the lettermen returning to start next year. A final bright note for the wrestling program is its move to major sports status next year. MICROBE WRESTLING The microbe wrestling team ended the season with a record of three wins against two losses. Although the microbes can claim a winning season, one triumph ivas a forfeit by Northside. In MBA ' s victory over Nashville Christian School, there were two startling matches: Trey Sutter pinned his man in twenty seconds; and one match later, Pat Brakefieid pinned his man in nineteen seconds, breaking Sutter’s record. MBA finished third in the Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference with first place wins by Lee Edmondson, Dale Brown, and Eric Smith and with second place finishes by Alan Moore and Galt Baker. Mr. Compton, with the help of Dorry Campbell and Tom McCowan, has sent many promising wrestlers up to the freshman level; and with some hard work from the individual grapplers in the future, there is hope that MBA will overcome the dominance of Ryan.

I33 The soccer team closed out its first season as a varsity sport with a 5-3-2 record. The novice team combined aggressiveness with a stubborn defense to defeat many experienced teams. Coached by Mr. Drake and John Lenier, the team recorded six shutouts. This outstanding defense was led by All-State fullback Dick Klausner and goalie John Brooks while Peter Van Eyes and halfback Al Marsh led the offense. The team scored seven goals in the first game with these same offensive giants, but they struggled to get the same total amount in the remaining nine games. Two of MBA ' s three losses were to eventual state champions Ryan which simply out-finessed the young and inexperienced Big Red while the other loss came to second place McCallie. On the day before the beginning of the state tournament, the team received an invitation and rushed to Chattanooga the next morning to play Sewanee Military Academy in the first round. The game ended in a scoreless tie, but MBA won in a shoot-off and advanced to the semifinals. The Maroons were to face a strong, disciplined McCallie team. The game remained a stalemate until the final two minutes when McCallie scored despite Dick Klausner ' s valiant effort to stop the shot. The season ended, but Mr. Drake promised to return with knowledge gained from each of the three losses. Front Row; B. Alderson, G. Goertz, S. Ellis, M. Parsons, R. Pickens, P. van Eys, J. Brooks, D.

Tom Cummings won the prone match while Captain Bill Van Cleave took the sitting, kneeling, standing, and championship awards. As a team, MBA won the prone, sitting, standing, and championship matches. Shooting in varsity events this year were: Tom Cummings, Spence Sutton, Bill Van Cleave, Howard Frost, Steve Roberts, Frank Turner, and Skip Woolwine. Pittman Haymore, Skip Woolwine, and Howard Frost also placed well in the second team individual matches. In the final four-position championship ma tch the team of Van Cleave, Sutton, Cummings, Frost, and Woolwine fired a 1751 out of 2000 to defeat all other competing schools by at least fifty points. Van Cleave was match winner with a score of 370 out of 400. In post-season matches, the team finished second in the M.T.S.U. Invitational Tournament behind Columbia Military Academy, with Van Cleave placing third. MBA’s riflemen also placed first in their class in the National Junior Sectional Tournament. MBA ’s rifle team will be assured of future success with the return of several fine shooters who will be skillfully coached by Mr. Stevens and Mr. Sutton. Front Row: L. DePrIest, T. Cummings, H.

It is actually a system of self-defense originated in ancient China, Japan, and Korea, for the peasants, who were not allowed to carry weapons. Over hundreds of years, many different styles of karate have come from these countries. According to David Cassell, karate is “not only a sport, but also a means to self- control and a path to inner peace. ICE HOCKEY One of the more interesting sports played by a student at Montgomery Bell is ice hockey. MBA ' s future Bobby Hull is Wade Cowan who has been playing for ten years. During this year ' s winter months, he got up as early as 4:30 to play for the Nashville Red Wings, league champions of the past three years. Although he enjoys playing and has won the scoring title twice in the last four years, Wade is hesitant about a future career because of the lackof widespread In- terest. Praise is due to Wade for following an untraveled path which is extremely important to him. If I SWIM TEAM The swim team, under the coaching of Mr. Ridgway, was initiated at Montgomery Bell for the 1972-73 school year. The team consisted of six Amateur Athletic Union swimmers with four late additions. After working out for only two weeks, the newly organized team started out its season against a seasoned BGA team which slipped by MBA 52-43. Brothers Eddie and John Gillum both turned In fine performances. Scarcely a week later, the MBA team traveled to Knoxville for the State High School Swim Meet. Out of thirty-three teams, MBA placed fourth ahead of all Midstate teams including BGA. Greg Nelson placed many points on the board for the Big Red. As an unpublicized sport, swimming aroused much enthusiasm at Montgomery Bell, and everyone hopes that the success of Coach Ridgway ' s program will continue. 1 37 Returning only two starters from last year’s state championship squad— the first in MBA ’s history— the baseball team faced tough competition with seven NIL games early in the season. Returning lettermen Garnett Reid, Robert Harris, and Frank Garrison provided leadership for the in- experienced players. This year ' s pitching staff of Mike Ralston, Dan Hartmann, and Harris was all new: none had pitched in previous varsity competition. Yet, despite the team ' s inexperience, much optimism existed among the players. Coach Tillman has done a good lob in a rebuilding year to prepare young, fresh talent that will con- tinue in the winning tradition of MBA baseball. 1972 Team: Front Row (from left): Latimer, Harris, Summers, Hartmann, Patterson, Trickett.

I 39 TENNIS In their quest for their 28th NIL title in 29 years of competition, the MBA tenni s team had five returning lettermen: Gil Templeton, Johnny Howell, John Barton, Steve Summers, and Joe Davis. Led by Coach Edson, the netters had a heavy schedule of matches, including a trip to Chattanooga. Younger talent included Charles Elliot, Bill Binder, Dale Berry, and Johnny Daniels. With this lineup the team hoped to remain a threat in Mid-State tennis. From left: Berry, Daniels, Vincent, Summers, Barton, Templeton, Friesinger, Benneyworth, Elliot, Howell. 140 TRACK Losing only a few distance runners from last year’s track team, this year’s version had a good chance to bounce back from the poor showing in 1972. Under the direction of Michael Drake and new coach Bob Ivey, the team boasted a group of talented runners. Track is a highly individualistic sport comparable to wrestling. Thus, even though the team had little chance to win the Western Division title, many people got much personal satisfaction from fine individual showings. Prospects look good for next year, with only three seniors graduating from this year’s team. Sitting (from left): Parker, Shell, Delvaux, Schaffner, Pickens, Cowan, Delvaux, Hutton.

The goal of this year’s golf team was to retain its dominance of the NIL Returning lettermen included captain David McAlister, Webb Earthman, and David Matthews, and progress seemed to be “on the upward swing. Walter Morgan, Ran Batson, and Hugh Entrekin competed for the fourth spot on the scorecard. The team began the year with a trip to Callaway Gardens, where many fine scores were recorded. Hopes were high for a fine season.
