In everything he does and says may be found the best in- terests of the school and the students. Whether arriving on the Hill at 5:30 in the morning to help Lushion shovel snow or personally writing college recommendations for all the seniors, he consistently donates almost all of his time to the school. His wife, a very popular history teacher and the advisor to the yearbook, is the biggest fan of MBA sports, a con- stant example for the cheerleaders, and inspiration for the teams. These two individuals are prominent in every facet of campus life, setting the highest possible standards and expecting the most from the student body. We the staff of The 1 977 Bell would like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the time and effort which they have devoted to the school and the students. For helping to shape us into better men, we dedicate The 1 977 Bell to Mr. and Mrs. Francis E. Carter. 4 of Trust Board Mr. John E.

John Keats (1795-1 821) “A Student interest in varsity athletic events at MBA y as heightened considerably in 1976-77 by this year’s cheerleaders. Combining popular new cheers with the much improved music of the pep band, they delighted the crowds with their cheer- ing expertise and the good looks of the girls.

The Spaghetti Supper grossed over $1 2,000 and all classes won a holiday for their outstanding ticket sales. _ Varsity Football The 1976 Varsity football team suf- fered through an injury-plagued sea- son, compiling a 2-8 record against a tough slate of opponents. The season opened with o tough 6-0 loss in o blind- ing rainstorm to McGovock. The next week the Big Red was crushed 48-7 by powerful Overton. MBA come bock with o resounding 33-0 win over Clarksville Northwest, aided by o large and vocal crowd of supporters. The Big Red then traveled to meet undefeated Maplewood, losing 31-0 to the even- tual regional champs. The next week MBA faced another undefeated team, going against Antioch. The Big Red, hurt by the loss of several standout players to in- juries, bowed 39-12. On homecoming night, MBA battled the Springfield Yellowjackets in a torrential downpour. A sodden crowd watched the Big Red play well but lose 6-0. The following weeks saw the Big Red lose hard-fought deci- sions to rivals Hillsboro and BGA. The fired-up Burros downed MBA 1 3-0, and the BGA Wild- cats overpowered the Big Red 41-13 before a huge crowd. 39 Row 1 : Barry Duke, David Duke, Lester Turner, Kirk Norling, Robert Holland, Clwck Lassing, Barry Rskton, Allen CfQ9o r � Rick Seay« I — . — Randy Foster, Trey Alford, Danny Todd, John McWhirter, Chris Crow, Jim Poteet Jack Patterson, Galt Baker. 3: Allan Reetaa , A Ofk Frost, Jacques, Edward Jackson, Lyle Beasley, Gage Whittier, Steve Roberts, Danny Newman, Coach Jay Ramsey, Head Ci . n . ..

Despite the disappointing showing of M Big Red l fs year, the future of the varsity football program is promis- ing. A substantial amount of football talent w« exhibited by younger players this year, and the Big Red ' s tough schedule becomes slightly easier in future years. 4t Freshman FcxDtball As evidenced both by their record and by the testimony of coaches Ron Medlin and Michael Caldwell, this year ' s freshman football team was the most successful and talented one in recent history. The team compiled a record of five wins and no losses on the way to a championship in the Central Division of Metro Nash- ville’s Junior High League. After the regular season was over, the team played rival Father Ryan, this year ' s Western Division champion. Scoring one touchdown in the closing sec- onds of the first half and another in the fourth quarter, the Irish man- aged to win this heated contest. 42 m Front Row: Jimmy Griscom, Joe Davis, David Molesworth, Randy Henderson, Doug Derryberry, Chris Hill, Watt Crockett, Michael Salyer, Bill Gregg,. Second Row: Managers Jim Moyers, Billy Rowland, Morris Lewis; John Hollins, Jim Johnson, Sloan Warner, Andy Nelson, Thompson Brown, Sheperd Bentley, Larry Klein, Rucker Betty, Owen Lipscomb, Bill Herbert, Kevin Smith. Third Row: David Pack, Tom Moore, Damon Anognos, Joe Anderson, Ever- ette James, Jeffrey Robinson, Hunter Ridgwoy, Scott Bain, Phillip Altenbern, Jack Coombs, Philip Tolbert, Govan White, Freddie Horton, Ricky Bowers, Bob Colton, Chris Whitson. The freshman owed much of their success to a depth of talent at all positions. Last year ' s Microbe squad formed a strong nucleus which was bolstered by the arrival of some valuable new members such as tackles Damon Anagnos and Philip Tolbert. Linebacker Jimmy Griscom was another defensive standout. Playing well both ways were Freddy Horton, Ricky Bowers, and linemen Jim Johnson, Owen Lipscomb, and Phillip Al- tenbern. Offensively, center Jack Coombs and guard Hunter Ridgway helped give Tom Moore at quarter- back and Doug Derryberry at halfback the breaks they needed. Providing excellent pass reception were ends Joe Anderson, Ricky Bowers, and Freddy Horton. Joe Davis consistently kicked extra points. Proof of these boys ' ability lies in their coaches ' com- ments about them. Coach Caldwell believes this group to be MBA ' s best freshman team in his years here. Coach Medlin stresses that this fine squad of athletes should continue their winning tradition and furnish the school with valuable Varsity players next year and in the years to come.

VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY This summer the prospective members of MBA’s 1976 Cross-Coun- try Team convened at their traditional stomping grounds, Percy Warner Park. The fourteen members of the A and B teams paced through many long miles of wooded trails in an attempt to get in shape and produce the fine type of distance squad for which the Big Red Harriers have quickly become known. This year was no ex- ception. Sporting a relatively young group of runners, the varsity team finished a strong season with a 1 0-6 dual meet record. Dis- appointing yet extremely close losses were suffered at the hands of McGavock, Antioch, and East. The team did not boast any standout performers, but its top eight runners, who continually battled for the seven varsity positions, competed well. Running at better than 17:00 for the three mile course, these boys exhibited depth that is unsurpassed in MBA run- ning history. The team was led all season by the strong perfor- mances of sophomore Erich Groos along with senior co-captain Bi- lly Anderson and junior Ed Archer. Also running well were senior co-captain Jeff Glezer, senior Greer Bogle, junior Jimmy O’Neill, and sophomores Craig Stewart and Bennett White. Stalwarts Anderson and Archer set the pace. Row 1 : Greer Bogle, Ed Archer, Bennett White, Co-coptoins Billy Anderson and Jeff Gleier, Jimmy O eill, Craig Stewart, Steve Honcak, Row 2; Each Groos, Tod Wert, Gene Nelson, Marcel Howiger, Chris Milam, Rhea Gustafson, Manager Evom Lyne. Bogle and O’Neill struggle through their last mile. After an eighth place finish at both the A.F. Bridges and David Lipscomb Invitationals, the team placed a very respectable fourth in the NIL championships where Groos, Anderson, and Bogle ran well. High- lighting the Big Red season was the standout perfor- mance of Erich Groos, who broke the school record with his eighth place time of 1 5:38, a time six seconds faster than Ken Witt’s NIL championship time last year. This vast improvement among all the NIL teams, along with a mid-season ankle injury to Ed Archer, tended to spoil the team ' s early aspirations for great success. However, with regard to recorded time, the determined coaching of Mr. Drake once again pro- duced what was perhaps the finest Harrier squad in MBA history. In addition to the team’s unparalleled depth, the very strong B-team boasted a seventh place finish in the Da- vid Lipscomb Invitational for small school A-teams and finished first in the Nashville Area Private School B- team meet. The members of the B-team also provided excellent competition for the varsity squad. With eleven lettermen returning for next year, great team depth will once again be a keystone for Mr. Drake’s 1977 season. 47 Microbe Cross Country Lacking the numerical strength of a large squad, the Microbes struggled valiantly through a disappointing season. Only one dual meet was won. David Tune, Byron Fuller, and Ricky Sullivan were our eighth grade stal- warts. Seventh graders Terry Wat- terson, Ridley Wills, Jimmy Kilroy, Steve Fine, Dullard Adams, Tom Higgins, and Steve Anderson should form the nucleus for a much-im- proved squad next season. Top Row: Jimmy Kelroy, Stephen Fine, David Tone, Rid- ley Wills, Terry Wotterson. Bottom Row: Tom Higgins, Dil- lard Adorns, Steve Anderson, Rkk Sullivan, Byron Fuller. To Winter The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, If Winter comes, con Spring be for behind? Percy Bysshe Shelley 49 Winter of ’77 Remember that awesome winter of ' 77? Signs of o harsh season came early with frigid weather at football games, mid-No- vember snow, snow, snow, and more snow. The white stuff lay on the ground for three weeks in January and February, affording public school students a full month Christmas Vacation. Nashville’s shortage of natural gas caused most schools to close down, but the mighty men of Montgomery Bell, led by fearless Francis Carter, broke out their woolies and electric heaters to battle cold- weather classes. Mr. Carter’s split-day sched- ule, coupled with MBA’s thrifty gas usage, al- lowed school to continue. Though students grumbled at first, we could fully appreciate Mr. Carter’s stuff it policy only with the re- wards of a spring break in sunny Florida. 50 Varsity Wrestling A nucleus of Junior gropplers furnished the impetus for most of the success of this year’s Varsity Wrestling team. The squad ended the 1 976-77 season with an overall dual match record of six wins and two losses. The Big Red prevailed against its first six opponents, often by wide margins. An especially satisfying victory was the 47-6 romp over BGA before a sizable home crowd. Unfortunately, the team could not continue its winning streak through the season’s end, losing a close battle to Franklin before being crushed by a powerful group of Overton wrestlers. 51 Row 1 : Tim Wornock, Charlie Duffy, Bobby Huddleston; Stephen Hinshow; John Anderson; Jerry Jordon; David Molesworth. Row 2: Joe Wieck; Jim Dole; Mark Frost; Paul Stumb; Bob Russell; Chris London; Russell Regen; Galt Baker; Pete Delay; Coach Tom Galbierz. With the exception of one member, tourna- ment competition was not the team’s strong point this season. However, Galt Baker, wres- tling at heavyweight, won championships at the Ryan Invitiational and Overton tourna- ments and placed third at the Bellevue In- vitational. John Anderson also captured sec- ond place in the 1 1 2 lbs. division at Bellevue. In the Overton tournament, Charlie Duffey finished fourth at 105 lbs. In addition to the three regular tournaments, the team partici- pated in a quadrangular match held at McGavock, finishing third behind Ryan and Dupont. 52 MBA 28 Antioch 21 MBA 28 Bellevue 18 MBA 40 Goodletsville 15 MBA 47 BGA 6 MBA 42 Glencliff 14 MBA 40 Maplewood 12 MBA 23 Franklin 30 MBA 7 Overton 41 Post-season competition in the District Tournament held at Franklin saw two first place finishers from MBA; Baker at heavy and Stephen Hinshaw at 1 1 9 lbs. Mark Frost and Chris London were third in their di- visions; Paul Stumb was fourth. These five wrestlers then went to the Regional Tournament at Millwood where they wrestled well but failed to qualify for ad- vancement to the State. New coach Tom Galbierz provided the team with the instruction, training, and disciplined physical regime essential in producing superior wrestlers. Under his di- rection, the team performed well all year, and the chances for an outstanding season next year are ex- cellent. Only one starting senior, Jerry Jordan, will be lost to graduation. Eight juniors including captain Galt Baker, will be returning along with two freshman and two sophomores. 53 Freshman Wrestling The Freshman wrestlers opened their season with impressive victories over MBA’s traditional rivals, BGA and Ryan. The team then lost its last three matches to end with a 2-3 record. Johnny Wagster placed third and Josh May fourth in the McMurray Tourna- ment at season’s end. The team as a whole finished seventh out of twelve Nashville area junior high schools. Ac- cording to Coach Gaither, this group contains many talented wrestlers. With dedication, they should assure that MBA retains a competitive position in N.I.L. wrestling for years to come. 54 1 St row: Mark Daniel, Joel Davis, Phillip Altenbem, Govan White, Art Hancock, Hartley Hall, Watt Crockett, Mike Jacques, Harris Hatcher. 2nd row: Joel Slaton, Shepard Bentley, Randy Henderson, Owen Lipscomb, Johnny Wagster, Michael Salyer, Andy Nelson, Ross Pepper, Tripp Townsend, Manager Jim Moyers.

In an effort to maintain “continuity” while not being stereotyped, the Big Red, captained by Danny Newman and Robert Holland, went to a four-corner offensive spread which coupled with solid de- fensive play to produce 7 victories against 16 defeats. Steve Elliot was the team’s leading scorer while Steve Roberts did the majority of the boardwork. However, the failure of a true leader to emerge with any consistency resulted in a frustrating sea- son in which the Big Red lost close games to BGA, Hillsboro, and Hume-Fogg. The season however was not without its bright moments. In the third game, Ricky Bowers moved up from the JV to command a three point win over Webb School in Bellbuckle. A month later, when the Feet journeyed to MBA, the coaches, ready to concede the game with four minutes left and trailing 49-37, sent Doug Maxwell, Lyle Beasley, and Hal West into the game. The “soon to Row 1: Manager Billy Rowland, Doug Maxwell, Danny Newman, Steve Elliot, Andy Smith, Ricky Bowers, Manager David House. Row 2: Manager Scott Kimbro, Hal West, Barry Ralston, Robert Holland, Steve Roberts, Lyle Beasley, Andy Massey, Manager Trey Fore. be heroes” proceeded to rally the Big Red to a 55-54 victory. Max- well scored nine and Beasley scored 5 during the final 4 2 minutes of the gome which brought to the floor not only the roof of the gymna- sium but also Coach Bennett in a spectacular finish. (Coach Bennett’s Injuries were minor.) The team also defeated Antioch twice during the season, once In an overtime barnburner on the Hill. Other wins included victories at home over an Improving USN ball club and Cohn High School. Even though the Big Red failed to defeat rival BGA, the mighty Red racked up an exciting double overtime victory over Hillsboro led by Steve Elliot and his 1 8 markers. In their only tournament appearance of the season, the Big Red were embarrassed by a superior Pearl Basketball team which captured the NIL crown behind the ex- cellent coaching of Cornelius Ridley. But the promise of young athletes and coaches on the Hill is heartening. We, the sports staff of the 7 977 Bell, wish the future teams the best of luck. JV Basketball Row 1: Scotty Riegle, Johnny Russell, Tim Owen, Jeff Haynes, Craig Stewart. Row 2; Hue Novak, Erich Groos, Jack Patterson, Bill Bomar, John Neil, Bojce Campbell, Coach Jay Ramsey. Coach Jay Ramsey’s JV Basketball team completed the sea- son with a respect- able record consid- ering its competition. Included among the team’s eight victories were two wins over BGA an overtime victory over Antioch, and an incredible one point victory over Pearl on the Ti- gers’ home floor. 59 Freshman Basketball MBA 57 Moore 51 MBA 46 BGA 44 MBA 46 Cameron 59 MBA 57 West 61 MBA 60 McMurray 59 MBA 38 Ryan 39 MBA 47 Ewing Park 69 MBA 40 Lipscomb 29 MBA 62 Bass 39 MBA 45 Apollo 55 MBA 59 Rose Park 77 MBA 58 Bellevue 71 MBA 67 Millwood 62 MBA 59 Moore 61 1 st row: Freddy Horton, Joe Davis, Chris Hill, Nathan Phillips, Rusty McDonald, Doug Derryberry. 2nd row: Manager Timothy Ayers, Chris Whitson, Steve Bruehl, Jimmy Griscom, Barry Dowlen, Everette James, Tom Moore, Joe Anderson, Bob Colton. The Freshman Basketball team, competing in the extremely tough Junior High League, fin- ished the season with a respectable 6-8 record under the coaching of Kevin Harkey. Jimmy Griscom and Freddie Horton led the offense through most of the season, aided late in the season by Tom Moore, who came on strong after recovering from an early in- jury. Despite a lack of height, the Freshmen should provide great JV and Varsity potential in the years to come.

Row 2: Mr. Reed, David Reynolds, Andy Spickord, Shown Menke, Jim Tully, Mike Anderson, Kelly Shackelford, Ken Nichols, Terry Wotterson, Chris Stephens. The 1 977 Microbe Basketball team posted a good 9-4 record under the coaching of Mr. Reed. Finishing the regu- lar season with a 7-3 tally, the Microbes fought their way to the HVAC tournament finals before losing to a tough Brent- wood team. During the course of the season, outstanding wins were recorded over rivals BGA and Ensworth, as well as a crushing 66-17 rout of Westminister. Leading the scoring and rebounding were Anderson Spickord and Mike Anderson, while Kelly Sha- ckelford was a standout player in the extremely suc- cessful defense. 62 Junior School Champions 8-R Row 1 ; Bobby Khan, Jimmy Hester, Earl Beasley, Jody Lentz, Row 2: Adam Wieck, Jackson Vahaly, Brian Nicholson, David Sherman. 7-B Row 1: David Miller, Kenny Ferrell!, Billy Claunch, Tripp Townsend, Alex Grimsley.

Varsity Soccer The 1976-1977 Varsity Soccer Team proved the excellence of the school’s program and once again was one of the top teams in the state. The team finished with a record of 6-2- 2 and was led by senior co-captains Albert Brown and David Schull. The team was ham- pered by the snow and the cold. The referees were always excellent, and the crowd support was remarkable. 65 P | — V J r . V V!: - . Row 1 : David Duke, Tim Crenshaw, Mike Chemau, Jody Macey, Jerry Mace, Bobby Gamer, John Hannon. Row 2: Coach John Lanier, Marshall Summer, Jay Hitt, Greg Estes, Tommy Lanham. In the first game, the team fought the mud to win 3-0 against Hillsboro. Lawson Fort scored one goal and Albert Brown scored two, with o verbal assist going to David Schull. The next gome was o 3-0 victory against Dupont with goals by Mike Chernou, Roger Burrus, and Brown. The team then traveled to Sewanee and defeated St. Andrews 5-0 on one goal each by Chernau and Schull, and three by Brown. The first challenging game was a 1-1 tie with MUS in which Jay Hitt scored the only goal. The Wall and John Hannon continued their fine play. The team overpowered Notre Dame 5-0 behind the goals of Burrus, Chernau, and Brown. The next game was a disastrous 3-1 loss to arch-rival Ryan after a one month layoff. The team bounced back with a 2-1 win over McGavock and a 2-0 victory over Se- wanee. MUS came to Nashville for a rematch, only to have the game end in another 1-1 tie. The team traveled to Chattanooga for the state tournament as the third seeded team. Though coaches John Lanier, Dick Klausner, and Hiram Goza provided excellent leadership, the year ended in disappointment as the team lost to Castle Heights 3-1. 66 The team had four players listed on the All-State teams. Greg Simpson and Mike Chernau made the third team, David Schull the second team, and Al- bert Brown the first team. The three se- niors then played in the East-West All- star game. Highlights of the year in- clude the expert ability of Brown on penalty kicks, SchulTs wallowing in the mud, and Simpson ' s and Kirk Norling’s treatment of opponents. Next year’s team returns with a vital core led by the playing and vocal abilities of Tommy Lanham.

Row 2: Mac McIntosh, Mark Johnson, Chris Crow, Bill Crenshaw, Rhea Gustafson, Jeff Robinson, Joe Hymel, Chalkey Thomas, Steve Wallace, Jimmy O’Neill, Jeff Glezer, John Clay- brook, John Fox. Under the coaching of Mr. Hiram Gozo, the JV Soccer team finished an- other fine season with an impressive 3- 0 record. Their victories came against McGavock’s and USN’s varsity squad. The two captains, Jody Macey and John Claybrook, led the way to victory against McGavock scoring all three of the goals. The JV team overwhelmed USN both times and showed that they will prove very helpful to next year’s varsity squad. Kicking the habit? 69 Rif e Team This year the MBA Rifle team fired another per- fect series of matches. After winning all five of its Youth Incorporated matches, the team cap- tured both the National Junior Sectional as well as the Junior State Championship. Bill Herbert placed high individual in the Yl kneeling match, and Tim Ayers and Bill Hobbs took first and second places in the Yl final four position match. The MBA team composed of Hobbs, Ayers, Herbert, and Davis fired to win the National Junior Sectional; the team of Hobbs, Ayers, Herbert, and Ashley Hill won the Junior State Championship for MBA. Having completed another fine season, the team has high hopes for next year with Hobbs, Ayers, Herbert, and Hill all returning to shoot. Bus Stop MBA’s dramatic production this year was William Inge’s play Bus Stop. The cast was composed of an equal number of new and old performers. Lee Ed- mondson (the sheriff), Lisa Nitahauser (the experi- enced nightclub performer), Becky Hinshaw (the “innocent” waitress), and Nelson Griswold (the classic “dirty old man” and drunkard) comprised the backbone of the show. Newco mers to the stage included Rick Jacques (the wild, heart-struck cow- boy), Bill Hawkins (the lonely, old cowhand), Britt Quilllan (the cafe owner), and Ralph Moore (the bus driver). Struttin’ her stuff! The show was highly successful for two reasons. Both performances were excellent, and the student body showed its interest in the Drama Club with the large turnouts on Friday and Saturday night. Since a large number of the drama members are graduating this year, there will be several openings in the club for next year. Chorus This fall the MBA Chorus, un- der the leadership of Mr. Ger- ald Arthur, gave its premier broadcast performance for a worship service at Downtown Presbyterian Church. Follow- ing the rigorous practices which ensued, the chorus gave three jolly Christmas perfor- mances: at MBA, at St. Ber- nard Academy, and at Cheek- wood. The winter season culminated at St. Bernard with the surprise special effects for “Let It Snow,” designed by President Jody Macey. With the loss of a strong “senior” boss section, next year’s chorus will depend upon new recruits. Row 1; Jay Hodge, Jeff Glezer.

As always, Mrs. Ridgway has exhibited ex- cellent taste in choosing interesting and informative speakers and capti- vating entertainers for the benefit of MBA students. During the fall and winter seasons, a number of highly spirited pep rallies added immensely to the morale of both the athletic teams and the stu- dents. Led by a fine crop of Big Red cheerleaders and an improved Pep Band, these rallies demonstrated that school spirit is alive and well on the Hill. Music enthusiasts were provided with many fine performances by both students and visitors. Country music lovers were delighted by a fine show put on by MBA ' s own vet- eran showmen — Rick Jacques and Bill Hawkins. From North Carolina came a folk-singer, banjo-player. and folklorist. Contemporary pop rock music was provided by MBA alumnus Pot Patrick and his bond. Perhaps the most captivating per- formers of the year were two lovely and talented young ladies from Mor- peth Moll— Amy Grant and Margaret Groos, who wooed the crowd with a beautiful soft sounds repertoire. Informative assemblies abounded including banker Ken Roberts dis- cussing economics, a representative of the Tennessee Performing Arts Commission promoting upcoming programs such as “Dimitri” and “Fat Tuesday,” and Judge Hamilton Gayden explaining the Tennessee crimi- nal justice system. Rabbi Jan Brahms discussed the Israeli political situ- ation in great detail. Mr. Carter graced most assemblies not only with the normal announcements, but also with the annual visit under the guise of Santa Claus. The Senior Class was delighted with the presentation of their Christmas cake. The great diversity of MBA assemblies pro- vides a unique opportunity for students to en- joy, as well as to enhance greatly the educa- tional experience offered by Montgomery Bell Academy. I The Prom This winter the Junior Class took on a project, spearheaded by its class officers, of selling candy bars and building a steamboat stage. The result was MBA’s first Senior Prom. The seniors, along with the sophomore and junior class officers, were presented with their dates at the be- ginning of the night. Following the presen- tation, there was a combo in the gym which most of the student body attended. The rock group “Glory” from Alabama provided the music. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, including the teachers who were lucky enough to be asked to “look after things.” The band closed down at midnight with a rousing rendition of Kiki Dee’s “I’ve Got the Music in Me.” Then each of the upper three classes held a breakfast— the sophomores at Erich Groos’, the juniors at Walter Rob- inson’s, and the seniors at David Schull’s. The seniors showed up, sooner or later, and the night came to a slow halt around 3:00. There were great expectations in the beginning, and with the cooperation and patience of Mr. Carter, the faculty, and the parents involved, the Prom of 1 977 was a great success. It is hoped that a tra- dition has been established. Many thanks from the Class of ’77 to the Juniors, espe- cially Paul Stumb, Mark Sullivan, Ed Archer, and Steve Wallace. Varsity Crowd Varsity Crowd, despite several poor performances, hod successful foil and winter seasons. The crowd started out the season on a low note-being trounced by McGavock in a driving rainstorm. However, the crowd rebounded for the rest of the football season, keeping morale high despite poor performances by the football team. The basketball season was the highlight of the varsity crowd season. Led by vociferous Greg Simpson and cheerleader John Hannon, the crowd con- sistently romped over opponents as well as making countless TSSAA referees miserable, until being crushed in the District tournament by a huge, well- trained Pearl crowd. Prospects look good for next year, with most of the crowd standouts returning for another rowdy year. 79 ’la. Spring! And who could forget the glorious Spring of ' 77? The ten day vocation and the latest in halter tops come just in time to relieve the tensions of the long theme week. The lost six weeks was a time to buckle down and put the finishing touches on an- other academic year. 1 977, how- ever, sow the Hill assaulted by on unusual rash of spring fever. That special seat by the window became increasingly more coveted, os hot days found more and more sleepy eyes after lunch. Will June 4th ever come? I Varsity Baseball The Varsity Baseball team capped a winning season with an impressive performance in the District tournament, giv- ing the Big Red one of the top rankings in the state, as well as the District Championship. At the beginning of the season, the Big Red was predicted to fare poorly in a tough district race which included per- ennial rival Father Ryan, as well as Mid-State power Cheatam County. However, despite several early season losses to Ryan and McGavock, the MBA team produced a winning regular season and entered the District tourna- ment with high hopes. After downing Pearl 5-4 and stop- ping Cheatham County 7-3, the Big Red pulled off one of I the biggest upsets of the year by beating favored Father Ryan 9-4. Needing only one more win to clinch the Dis- trict title in the double-elimination tournament, MBA again faced the Irish. Row 1: Tim Owen, Barry Duke, Albert Brown, Freddy Horton, Scotty Riegle, Ricky Bowers, Andy Massey. Row 2: Coach Jefferson, Tom Tillman, Robert Holland, Hue Novak, Rick Jacques, Bill Hawkins, Barry Ralston, Gage Whittier. (Not pictured: Kevin Holland, Greg Martindale) In the first game, Ryan won 4-1, but the Big Red tri- umphed in the second 5-4, bringing home the tournament honors. At the time of this deadline, MBA was one of the top-seeded teams in the Region tournament. For the re- sults, please turn to the Spring Sports Recap. The pitching staff was the most effective part of the MBA attack. Led by Tom Tillman, Gage Whittier, and Barry Ral- ston, the pitchers consistently frustrated opposing batters. On the offensive side, Barry Duke and Albert Brown had an impressive string of home runs. These stars, however, were only a small part of the entire team effort, an effort which proved that strong team spirit can lead to victory.

Here is the team record which speaks for itself: 1 0 wins, 0 losses In Conference play; 1 8 wins, 0 losses overall. Obviously, the MBA players had very little trouble handling their competition this year. The closest match was the 5V2-3V2 mid- season win over BGA; and in 1 2 of the con- tests, opponents were unable to win even a single match. The team clinched the NIL Cham- pionship with an 8-1 victory over Lipscomb at the end of the regular season. 86 In the Rotary Tournament, MBA placed fourth behind McCallie, Baylor, and Westminister. Back at home, the Big Red completely dominated its own invitational tourna- ment by taking first or second place in all of the brackets. The outlook for the team performances in the District, Re- gion, and State tournaments appears excellent. To dis- cover the results of these tournaments, which had not been completed at the time of this deadline, please turn the Spring Sports Recap. Almost all the players managed to compile good individ- ual records, but some deserve mention for being truly ex- ceptional. Team captain Steve Elliot had a final mark of 16 wins to 1 loss In singles matches. David Templeton, a talented player who can be counted on for two more years of exceptional tennis at MBA, compiled a 14-1 sin- gles record. Bill Colton, a junior, also finished with an im- pressive 16-1 record. Larry Klein, John Ingram, David Fox, Ross Evans, Bill Bomar, Jackson Galloway, Bill Colton, David Templeton, Steve Elliot, Jody Johnson, Scott Eskind, Harold DeBlonc, Charles Sawyers, Rusty McDonald, Robert Jones, Mike Baxter. 87 Other valuable lettermen were senior Charles Sawyers, fresh- man Harold DeBlanc, and soph- omore Ross Evans. MBA’s high degree of success in 1 977 shows every sign of being raised even higher next year. Only three players will be lost to graduation, and the many excellent younger players should continue to improve.

The season began with a narrow defeat by powerful Hill- sboro. The Big Red rebounded with crushing victories over Antioch and Franklin, before falling to BGA and Overton at the end of the regular season. Row 1: Ed Archer, Hal West, Jim Shaw, Bobby Johnson, Kelly Woodroof, Byron Burrus, Ike Simon, Jeff Glezer, Mickey Tune, Stephen Hancock, Jimmy O’Neill.

Row 3: Benny Couch, Rhea Gustafson, Chris Milam, David Linn, Bill Crenshaw, Erich Groos, Greer Bogle, Chuck Lossing, Allen Reasons, Ralph Moore, Felix Wilson, Russ Freeman, Trey Alford, Manager Evans Lyne. 89 MBA had many fine individuals performances in large meets such as the Optimist and Banner Relays. Craig Stewart con- sistently placed well In the 440, breaking the school record by almost a second with a blistering 50.1 . The two-mile relay team of Tad Wert, Jeff Glezer, Erich Groos, and Greer Bogle also broke the old school record with a 8:10.3 time. Other out- standing trackmen were Ralph Moore in the discus and Erich Groos in the 880, both of whom qualified for the Regionals. Under the determined coaching of Mr. Drake, the varsity ended the season with a fine fourth place finish in the Distr ict meet, highlighted by Craig Stewart’s win in the 440. Other fine per- formances were turned in by Byron Burrus in the long jump and Jack Patterson, who set a school record in the intermediate hur- dles. As most of the team’s strength lay in its younger members, next year’s squad should be outstanding. ) Freshman Track The Freshman Track team had an incredibly successful sea- son. Coached by Mr. Compton and Mr. Harkey, the Little Red rolled over all opposition in their division, finishing the season undefeated in dual and triangular meets. In larger meets, the Freshmen fared almost as well, winning the Ban- ner Relays, the Optimist Relays, and the Baylor Relays, while finishing second in the MTSU Relays. The team’s strength in the larger mee ts, all of which had more than twenty teams competing, can be attributed to excellent performances In both field and running events by several outstanding track- men. Doug Derryberry consistently outperformed all com- petitors in the high jump and long jump, as did Jimmy Gris- com in the shot put and discus. In track event, Chris Whitson and Joe Hymel led many other fine runners over the opposi- tion. With their impressive show of athletic prowess, the Freshmen demonstrated that MBA can not only compete, but also consistently win in a district of schools much larger than MBA.

Otherwise, the team was successful as Its season record was 15-4 overall and 1 0-2 in the NIL. The highlight of the year was a one shot victory over BGA when Doug Shanks edged his BGA playing partner by one stroke. Strong performances were con- sistently turned in by Grady Burrus, William Morgan, and Rob- ert Haley. In a later match, the Big Red golfers defeated both Dickson and Overton In a triangular match by one and three strokes respectively. Throughout the course of the season, William Morgan, Grady Burrus, and Robert Holey were the top individuals. Morgan placed second individually during the season at McCabe, and Burrus placed seventh in the NIL Championship. In the district tournament, Haley tied for first with a 74, but lost in the sudden death playoff. He advances to the Region tournament and pos- sibly the State if his steady play continues.

(Not pictured: John Cartes, George Cate, Barry Dowlen) 95 “The Pirates of Penzance” This spring, the MBA Chorus performed on operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, “The Pirates of Penzance.” The show also Included the Harpeth Hall Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Wool- ery. The show, after many weeks of re- hearsals, was staged at various schools— MBA, Harpeth Hall, St. Ber- nard, St. Cecilia — and at a luncheon at Vine Street Christian Church. The re- sponse received at the end of the shows was, needless to say, over- whelming. The incredible acclamation was due to the following stellar cast: Bill Galloway as the Major General; Jody Macey as the Pirate King; Rick Seay and Joe Wieck alternating as Frederick; Mike Chernau as Samuel; Carol Garrett as Ruth; Martha Herbert as Maybel; and Chris Woolwine and Nancy Diehl alternating as Kate. Very special thanks go to Mr. Gerald Arthur, Mrs. Nancy Gray, Mr. Carter, Ms. McMurry of Harpeth Hall, and Mrs. Ann Bishop, who is a piano player par excellence. One Thursday afternoon this spring after the regular track season was completed, Mr. Drake’s “brainchild,” the first annual MBA Pentathlon, became a reality. Formulated and planned in merely one week, the five part track event brought out both serious and com- ical contenders for this new “fun and games” field day on the Hill. Senior Byron Burrus cap- tured first place honors, followed closely by Greg Simpson and John McWhirter. Junior Ed Archer lived up to his “1-1,000,000” odds with a rather poor performance. Students were amused with the efforts of several fac- ulty members, headlined by Mr. Medlin, Mr. Galbierz, and Mr. Ramsey. If Mr. Drake ever comes up with the promised and coveted win- ner’s trophy, perhaps the second MBA Pen- tathalon will be an even greater success. iSr Pentathlon Spring Sports Recap Baseball MBA ' s 1977 baseball team finished a good regular season with an incredible display of tal- ent in the district tournament which they won af- ter a mere fifth place seeding, (see pages 83- 84) However, the Big Red batters met their match in the region tourney, where they lost a heart-breaking game to a very talented Hen- dersonville club. Track After a fourth place finish in the district, 440 man Craig Stewart and 880 runner Erich Groos, discus thrower Ralph Moore, and hurdler Jack Patterson all advanced to the region. Stewart placed second in the region, which qualified him as MBA’s sole representative in the state meet, where he placed seventh. 98 Tennis Golf After its strong regular season, the MBA tennis team proceeded to win the district and the re- gion tournaments. In the district, David Temple- ton defeated teammate Steve Elliot in the finals; but in the finals of the region, Elliot struck back with a straight set victory over Templeton. In both tourneys, the Elliot-Templeton duo swept to the doubles championships. In the state tournament, MBA placed a very strong third, only one point behind highly re- garded Baylor. Again, the Elliot-Templeton pair proved their merit as a doubles team when they advanced to the finals and lost a close three set match to the number one seeded McCallie team of Scott Webb and Barry Brouner. Templeton re- turns to the Hill for two more seasons. This year’s golf team placed second in the dis- trict tournament after a good regular season. In- dividually, Robert Haley tied for first in the dis- trict and then displayed MBA’s golf talent with two outstanding rounds which gave him a first place finish in the region. Fortunately, Haley has another year at MBA to add to his golf honors. 99 Commencement Montgomery Bell Academy’s 1 1 0th commencement pro- gram on June 4, 1 977 ended another year of educational excellence on the Hill. As usual, Mr. Carter presided over the presentation of med- als and awards, and chairman o f the board Mr. John E. Sloan, Sr. awarded the sev- enty-eight seniors their diplo- mas. Instead of inviting a guest speaker, the MBA tradi- tion of having students give speeches was continued with short addresses by valedicto- rian Charles Sawyers and salutatorian Bill Collins. MBA seniors celebrate their final lunch in style. Dr. Fairbaim amuses the audience with a “poised speech at the athletic banquet. Several organizations made significant gifts and pre- sentations to the school. Senior class President Lyle Beasley gave a check to repair the outdoor water foun- tains on behalf of the Class of ' 77. Service Club Presi- dent William Morgan and Big Red Club President John Hannon each presented significant sums of money to the school for beautification of the campus. The atmosphere became somewhat sentimental when the school presented parting gifts to the Ridgways and to Mrs. Lentz. Finally, the editors of the yearbook, Charles Sawyers, Jeff Glezer, Overton Thompson, and John Hamilton, presented a much-deserved dedication to Mr. and Mrs. Carter. 100 Valedictorian Charles Sawyers delivers his address.

Seniors eagerly await the reception of their diplomas. Although everyone was anxious to leave the hot, stuffy gymna- sium, the departing seniors slowly realized the end of their valuable, personal years at Montgomery Bell Academy. Now, the excitement of the last MBA theme, the final athletic banquet, the last lunch on the Hill, and the final exam exemp- tions had terminated. Perhaps too suddenly, the MBA Life was over.

' ' a i - ■ f •■ ' :■ ■ . ‘ ' x ' cVSr ' :’ ' ' ' -V ,;■ ' Organizations Student Council Left to right: Phillip Altenbern, Chris Hill, Ross Evans, Bennett White, Steve Wallace, Ed Archer, Lyle Beasley, Pride Scanlon, Paul Stumb, Mark Sullivan, Erich Groos, Scotty Riegle, Russell Regen, Steve Hines. Rear: Jeff Glezer, John Claybrook. The members of the 1 976-1 977 Student Council hove ac- complished many goals that can be utilized as “stepping stones for the councils in years to come. From the begin- ning of the school year, the student council’s main objec- tive was to serve as a liason between the student body and the administration. Acting as an “open door” to the faculty, the Student Council attempted to keep the school year flowing as smoothly as possible. As expected, many petty demerit cases arose during the course of the year, but there were surprisingly few difficulties resulting from student discontent. Two other goals of this year ' s Council were to serve the community in any way possible and to better the school in any way possible. During the Christmas season, the Coun- cil sponsored a canned goods drive for St. Luke’s Commu- nity Center. The results were magnificent, and the contri- bution was greatly appreciated by the needy recipients. The Council also sponsored a fund-raising drive for the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. This was MBA’s first year of participation in this paper drive, and it garnered over sixty diligent workers. The second annual Student Exchange, which exchanges Student council members between MBA, St. Bernard Academy, and Harpeth Hall along with a joint meeting with Harpeth Hall and SBA, was purposeful, for it helped the Student Council to look for possible means of improv- ing MBA’s student environment. Another way that the Stu- dent Council attempted to better MBA was by amending the voting procedures of electing members to the Student and Honor Councils. With the help of Mark Barnes, the Council was able to devise a means of filling all offices for a particular class in approximately two to three hours. Compared to the previous method, this new procedure conserves valuable class time that the teachers need and also increases the seriousness of the elections. Hopefully, the experience of the senior members of the 1977-1978 Student Council will lead to a more respon- sible and hard-working Council, for three out of four of next year’s senior officers were instrumental In organizing the first annual MBA Senior Prom. 106 Honor Council Row 1: Chris Whitson Vice President Charles Sawyers, President Alan Reasons, Secretary Albert Brown, Treasurer Mickey Tune, Porter Durham. Row 2: Craig Stewart, Randy Henderson, Galt Baker, Chris Milam, Bob Russell, Mark Daniel. In 1 945 the Honor System was adopted by the MBA student body for the purpose of pro- moting 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, ex- aminations, 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 mat- ters of ordinary discipline such as breaking school rules and regulations. It shall be the duty of the Honor Council to receive reports of violation of the Honor Code, to try offenders, and to recommend to the faculty suitable punishment. It shall pro- mote and encourage activities which would aid the cause of honor. It shall meet upon the call of the president. Stuudents must sign all pledged work as fol- lows; “On my honor as a gentleman, I have neither given nor received aid on this work.” A student seeing another student lying, cheat- ing 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 re- vealed, without his consent, to either the stu- dent body or the accused offender. When this restriction, however, impedes the progress of the case or endangers the rights of an ac- cused student, the members of the Honor Council may override 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 pun- ishment which may be any one of the follow- ing: a reprimand, a letter home to the par- ents, a public announcement 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. Forensics Despite the loss of lost year’s talented seniors the forensics team rebounded in 1976-1977 to achieve a truly out- standing record. After spending the summer in workshops around the coun- try, the team began a strenuous fall schedule of research and travel, high- lighted by Joe Wood ' s top speaker award at the huge University of Massa- chusetts tournament. By Christmas holi- days, the MBA program had again es- tablished itself as a national power through its showings at tournaments like Northwestern’s National In- vitational (2nd place) and the Midwest Holiday Debate Festival where two teams qualified for elimination rounds. Row 1: Andy May, Ben Cohen. Row 2: George Cote, Mark Kaplan, Josh May, Joe Wood, Greg Stroup, Walter Robinson.

MBA also captured the state championship, and Ben Cohen took the district in extemporaneous speaking; thus, two debate teams and one extemp, speaker all qualified for the Nationals in June. Much thnaks goes to Mrs. Ridgway for her help this year and throughout the last decade, for she is the backbone of the forensics program on the Hill, as she created it and sustains it. There can be no doubt that her departure will be a tremen- dous loss. Nevert heless, the debate club will continue to offer a forum for creative and in- tensive discussion of issues for those students in- tellectually daring enough to try. MBA ' s finest head to the Nationals. 109 The Bell Business Staff: Row 1; Alan Moore, Felix Wilson, Mark Johnson, Ed Archer.

Right Side: Sam Garrett, David Thistlethwoite, Johnny Russell, Morris Lewis. This year’s chess team upheld the MBA tradition of chess excellence by continuing its domination of both the Mid-State and the State Tournaments. In the Mid- State High School Championship, the MBA team of Mark Ishee, David Thistlewaite, Morris Lewis, and Evans Lyne scored an easy victory ahead of crosstown rival Overton. Captain Mark Ishee won first place indi- vidual honors. Shortly thereafter, as a warmup for the State Tournament, MBA played a practice match with Overton, winning with ease by a 1 0-4 margin. In the Tennessee High School Champion ship, MBA faced strong competition from both Germantown and archrival Baylor. However, when the smoke cleared, MBA had won its fifth state title in as many years, thus earning the right to represent Tennessee in the South- ern High School Championship. Contributing to the winning effort were David Thistlethwoite, Morris Lewis, Chris Keaton, Billy Anderson, Mike Anderson, and Mark Ishee, who took third place individual. The chess team was optimistic in preparing for the Southern High School Championship in Atlanta. MBA fielded a team in both the Championship and Novice sections of the tournament, on ill-fated experiment that resulted in poorer performances than expected. The Championship team of Ishee, Thistlethwoite, Anderson, and Lewis finished fifth. The Novice team of Doug Coin, Mike Anderson, Sam Garrett, and Chris Keaton placed third. Coin and Anderson led the team with 5-1 scores. Next year’s chess team faces a real challenge, as three members of this year’s team graduate. However, a strong nucleus of experienced players remains in the able hands of Dr. Fairbairn, and one may confidently predict that MBA will continue to dominate high school chess in Tennesse for many years to come. 113 Service Club Row 1; Greg Simpson, Lyle Beasley, Allen Reasons, Chuck Lossing.

The Service Club is an organization which has the ad- mirable goal of service to the school and surrounding communities as its guiding principle. Each year, return- ing members choose four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and three at-large boys to fill vacant spots in the twenty-four member, select organization. As in the past, the club helped usher at football games, collected admission money for basketball games and wrestling matches, and cleaned up after any messy event on campus. To aid the community, it has caroled for the Fanny Battle Day Home, collected for the Heart Fund, and participated in the Palm Sun- day Paper Drive for the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. The Service Club also sells MBA mugs to earn money for an annual gift to the school as well as offering its assistance to the projects of any other club at MBA. The Club constantly strives to widen the range of its activities. The members of the club are living proof that MBA students are not at all Isolated on top of the Hill, but are Involved in unselfish and sincere attempts to be of service to others. They deserve much credit and thanks for their work for both the school and the community. —President William Morgan Sons of Alumni Big Red Club Row 1 : Warren Coleman Rick Sullivan, John Hollins, Bob Dale, John Ingram, Blake Strayhorn, Jim Dale.

(Not pictured: Doug Derryberry, Bobby Anderson) The Fellowship of Christian Athletes endeavors to present the athlete with the challenge of Christ within his own medium. The MBA Chapter hopes to offer the loving fellowship and spiritual opportunities often needed by the student body. Spiritual discovery and development are essential and extremely individual facets of maturity. The FCA wishes to create an easily accessible atmosphere of discovery and growth. The tone is casual yet serious, and the results are both fun and rewarding; but most importantly, the program is alive and exciting both because of the vitality of its participants and the nourishment of its subject. Under the intensity of individual competition, athletes form a bond of dedication and sweat; so much more can Christians share and enjoy bonds of focused love. From quiet talks on a gym floor to noisy hayrides in the country, the tight bonds between people can be formed. A small school offers many luxuries, the fore- most being that everyone is invited and can be in- volved in every aspect of school life; the FCA wel- comes everyone. “Look! I have been standing at the door and constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20) —President Mickey Tune 118 Drama Club Row 1: Hunter Hodge, John Cloybrook.
