FOREWORD Images flow by. They are trapped in space and time. Their significance is impiicit only to the privileged who partici- pated in the drama. Piato would tell us that the images are mere shadows of a greater, truer, more perfect essence. M.B.A. is founded on ideals. The im- portance of these Ideais is the high quality of human existence they demand. An ideal that demands dignity, loyalty, love, com- passion, and sacrifice Is worthwhile. M.B.A.’s Ideals require these qualities. M.B.A. has been accused of molding. Perhaps these accusations have merit. Whether the school molds or not is relative to the individual— some students require discipline that others do not. The M.B.A. ideai does not demand that every student be a National Merit Finaiist or Aii-NIL in football. M.B.A. strives for the scholar and athlete: it demands the gentieman. The essence of “gentleman” is not length of hair or type of shoe. Both the administration and the students often become bogged down by superficialities. One must never lose sight of one’s goals, and M.B.A.’s goals involve the spirit more than the body. A German political philosopher named Hegel developed a theory concerning progress called “The Hegelian Dialectic”. This dialectic stated that an idea— a “thesis”— is always confronted by its opposite— an “antithesis”. These two clash and the resulting “synthesis” ieads to progress. M.B.A.’s class of 1973, led by the Stu- dent Council Proposals of President Morgan Entrekin, established a system of thought antitheticai to the established system of thought. That year was a clash, and the resulting synthesis marked the progressive class of 1974. From one point of view, the school was swamped in “apathy”-indifference towards possible Improvement. The majority of observers saw, however, a quietly constructive senior class lead the school towards new heights and a successful year. The success of the year cannot, how- ever, be measured by a 9-2 football team or 34 N.M.S.Q.T. winners. Success can oniy be measured by the degree of what can only be defined as “M.B.A. spirit” because it escapes any other definition. This spirit is present at a iively pep rally, the cafeteria at lunchtime, or the warmth of being with people that you like. The spirit of M.B.A., often distorted by the hard realities of running a successfui institution, involves sacrifice by the student. He must cut his hair, shave his face, wear clean clothes, and study hard. When a boy graduates from M.B.A., that spirit has become a part of him, and whether he is aware of the fact or not, the many facets of that spirit have made him better for its presence. 2
