MICHAEL DRAKE When it became apparent that a September re- turn for Mr. Carter would be impossible, a tempo- rary successor had to be chosen. The Board of Trustees gave Mr. Michael Drake the nod, and he assumed his new post on August 1. Mr. Drake came to Montgomery Bell Academy in 1969. He is a graduate of The University of Vir- ginia and George Peabody College for Teachers. His easy-going yet firm manner, his excellent rap- port with the student body and faculty, and his keen wit and intelligence helped to ease the ten- sion which naturally resulted from such a change. Mr. Drake is quick to point out, however, that his is a “caretaker government.” Even though he wel- comes the administrative challenge, he still en- joys the classroom exchanges and the rigors of coaching track and would not mind returning to these endeavors full-time. 15
