liiii h . i ). •j I [ j c I [ ll W- .. ... ; Editor-In-Chief Lansdon Robbins ■=v On January 27, 1983, the day after the death of Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant, Mrs. Lowry explained to her Senior Classes why Mr. Bryant was so successful in life. She summed up the reasons for his success in five words: resourcefulness, loyalty, hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. Mr. Bryant, she declared, made his mark on everyone in life. It is hard to find five more suitable words to describe Mrs. Lowry than the ones she used to de- scribe Mr. Bryant. Not even a heart attack could keep Mrs. Lowry from teaching her Senior Classes. Because of much per- sonal sacrifice, loyalty to Montgomery Bell Academy, and just plain love for her Senior Classes, it was only three months after an Cctober 18th heart attack that Mrs. “L” was back on the job. She has definitely made her mark on the 1983 Senior Class as well as on the thousands of other seniors she has taught in her forty loyal years here at MBA. It is because of her ever enduring dedication to everyone and everything at Montgom- ery Bell Academy that the 1983 Bell is dedicated to Mrs. Mary Helen Lowry.

The committment of the Board of Trust- ees to renovate and rebuild the MBA cam- pus as well as to increase significantly the school’s endowment exemplifies the strong desire of those associated with MBA to preserve and strengthen the MBA experience.

Whether it be in the classroom or on the playing field, MBA students strive to do their best — to win. Perhaps this is one of the most important traits a student gains during his years at MBA.

The rigorous and extensive academic curriculum challenges every student on the hill. There is more to life at MBA than studying, how- ever. The school offers a variety of extra-cur- ricular and athletic activities from which a stu- dent may choose.

In a remarkably short time, they have be- come an integral part of MBA school life for both the faculty and the students. Ruth 0. Napier Board of Trust 1st Row L-R: William M. Wilson, Hon. Frank F.

At 7:10 p.m., Mr. Bondurant began calling out the names for the planting of the new turf. First to have the honor was Mr. Joe Davis, chairman of the MBA Board of Trust- ees, whose leadership in the fund raising campaign was highly re- sponsible for making the evening possible. Mr. DeWitt Thompson, athletic and campaign chairman, placed the next piece of turf onto the new field. Finally, Mr. Ben Gambill and Mr. George McGugin, who had special leadership responsibilities in the campaign, placed a piece of turf onto the field. Others represented at the dedication were: Joe Davis, DeWitt Thompson, Ben Gambill, George McGugin, Shirley Bohannan, Dorris Kelly, Al Whitson, Bill Wade, Billy Jo Ehr- hart, Bobby Worrall, Jr., Charles Hawkins, Charlie Rolfe, Frank Burk- holder, Jr., Tommy Frist, Jr., Mack Rolf, Billy Crawford, Hunter Hus- band, Bill Blair, Sandy Haury, Jeff Peeples, Fred Fisher, Ricky Bowers. This ceremony will surely preceed an era of great athletic accom- plishments by the students of MBA. September 10, 1982 — The Dawn of a New Era Carter Memorial As members of the Carter Family, Board of Trust, administration, faculty, and stu- dents of Montgomery Bell Academy and five hundred friends watched, the Old Sci- ence Building was dedicated to the hard work of Francis E. Carter, Jr. The day turned out beautifully as representatives from all facets of Mr. Carter ' s life spoke of Mr. Carter’s love for MBA. Mack Brothers, as the student representative, welcomed everybody and was immediately followed by Rev. Johnson of St. George’s Episcopal Church. Mr. Novak, the faculty represen- tative, spoke about the dedication and hu- mor of Mr. Carter while the alumni repre- sentative, Gordon Peerman, told of Mr. Carter’s achievements in making MBA the fine institution that it is today. Fred Russell related to everyone the love Mr. Carter held for everything he deemed important, including his baseball career. The Carter family, Mrs. Carrie Carter, Anne Carter Brothers, and Rick Carter were then given a replica of the plaque on the building. It is only fitting that this stately building was dedicated in the loving memory of Mr. Francis E. Carter, Jr., MBA’s finest Gentle- man, Scholar, and Athlete. Homecoming — 1982 Preparation for the 28th annual MBA Spaghetti Sup- per was again placed in the hands of the trusty Moth- er’s Auxiliary, who hosted several assemblies in an attempt to inspire student enthusiasm for the selling of supper and raffle tickets. Unfortunately, Chef Gid- eon was absent again from this year’s festivities, but Mr. Drake began a new tradition with his windshield wiper glasses appearance. As the final day for ticket sales approached, the seventh and eighth grades, along with the Junior class, enjoyed a vast lead over the lagging Senior class. The 1982 Homecoming festivities were somewhat dampened by the Big Red football team’s heart- breaking loss to Pearl by a score of 22-20, but the halftime drawing of the raffle for the Toyota Tercel and the crowning of Beth Clark as homecoming queen along with her court of Susan French, Sheila Morris, Bunny Stein, and Elizabeth Graves proved to be a huge success. On Saturday evening, the Big Red Club hosted the annual Homecoming dance which has evolved as a traditional meeting place for the middle and junior school students. The well ac- claimed band. Cruise Control, played for the occa- sion and their music was enjoyed by all. In retro- spect, this year’s Spaghetti supper and Homecoming festivities proved to be quite successful because of the school’s enthusiasm and the achievement of a new school record for funds raised. Autumn A Season of Disappointment Lady Luck short changed this year’s football team. The 2 and 8 season does not reflect these players’ ability nor their effort. For many of these dedicated athletes, this year’s season began as soon as the previous one ended. Working hard in the weight room, these young athletes toned their muscles and sharpened their skills, generating an electrifying spirit which knew no bounds in the student body. This spirit along with the superb coaching staff headed by one of the finest coaches ever to coach a T.S.S.A.A. football team. Tommy Owen, made a seemingly indominable combination which was completed with a new football stadium. The start of the season looked good as co-captains and college prospects Hardy Burch and David Maddux along with second year quarter-back Bobby Morales led the promising team to two early victories. After handily defeating Springfield on their own turf, these gladiators of the gridiron came from behind scoring two touchdowns In the last minutes of the game to defeat the Millwood Hill Toppers. This victory was made possible by the awesome kicking of Thomas “T” Warren and receiving of Chris Hines. Hines caught the touchdown pass that tied the game at 20 all. This spectacular catch put the pressure on Thomas. The outcome of the game rested on his toes. Thomas came through in the clinch and booted the pigskin through the uprights to score the game-winning conversion. Unfortunately this victory was to be the last for Big Red in the ‘82 season. With the progression of the season, crowd attendance grew as did the margin between the win and loss column. Limping through a two and eight season, the coaches and players looked back on their past efforts and cried “Why us?’’ Only Lady Luck knows the answer. ..t-ii litr 1.1 n ni. wl.U 1st row — T.

Luminaries of this year’s underclassmen in- clude Larry Hayes, Scott O’Neal, Parish Lentz, Jeff Gaw and John Morrissey. These players represent the foundation on which hopes to build a more successful te am in the future. Sen- iors who deserve special recognition are George Smith for his hard work at defensive end. Hardy Burch for his perseverence and in- timidating play despite painful injury, David Maddux for his strength on the line, and Scott Albright for his aggressive play at linebacker. While this year’s Senior Class will not be re- membered for its success on the football field, their effort and dedication deserves recogni- tion. George Bueno goes for the block M. B.

Football Touchdown! The J.V. Football team, under the unrelenting leader- ship of coaches Regen and Morel, ended the season with an impressive 4-2 record. The team, in its opening game, upset the Overton Bobcats by the score of 21- 18, in a defensively played game. The team lost a heartbreaker to Ryan, 9-7, before ram- bling over Millwood the next week 27-14. The team then proceeded to manhandle Brentwood Academy and An- tioch. The season was composed of many highlights such as the 30 yard pass from tailback Harry Peffen to Trip Bennett in the Overton game, the numerous recep- tions of Jack Brown and John Morrissey, and the pre- cise passing of quarterbacks Micheal Pirrie and Will Nowell. While Steve Rollins, Robert Black, and Harry Peffen provided the running for the offense, Hendrik, Harrison, Moore, and Gallimore provided the blocking necessary to keep the offense alive. The defensive line consisted of Ledyard, Harwell, Thompson, Mangrum, and Dukes. Buzz Frahn, Robert Black, and Frank Wiik played at the linebacker positions while Henderson, Morrissey and Thombs played at defensive backs. Por- tis and Tir rill proved to be good ends for the sturdy defense. The coaches found excellent leadership in this group and think that this team will be an asset to the varsity in the near future.

Playing well offensively for MBA were quarterbacks Dave Malone and Takis Patikas, tail- back Paul Soper, speedy utility back Pete Smith, and the entire Freshman offensive line. The defense was led by Robbie Bueno, who intercepted a pass and made numerous tackles. In addition, tackles Jay Owen and Robert Page played well in defense for the MBA Freshmen. The team lost its next game 13-12 to a tough Overton squad in an overtime heartbreaker. The overtime began with MBA on offense with only four plays in which to score from the Overton ten. Dave Malone scored on a keeper play to put the Freshmen ahead 12-6. Unfortunately, the two-point conversion attempt failed. Overton then took over on offense and scored. The extra point attempt was good, giving Overton the win, 13-12. The Freshmen lost their second game of the season to Apollo 28-14. The Freshmen Big Red went on to defeat Maplewood 9- 0 and gain a forfeit from Glencliff. Unfortunately, they suffered disappointing losses to Hillwood 0-12 and Ryan 6-20. Ending the season with a 3-4 record, this year’s Freshmen will certain- ly add to future varsity teams. Microbe Football 1st row— T. Gutow, L. Martine, W. Chaffin, G. Smith, B. Napier, M.

The team, under the direc- tion of Coaches Compton, Herring, and Cald- well, started the season by crushing Franklin Road Academy 30-0. Will Meyer rushed for 170 yards to lead the Big Red. After suffering a heartbreaking loss to Ezell-Harding, the Mi- crobes defeated neighboring Ensworth and Page. In the Tiger game, Louis Grabler led the defense at nose guard and Skip Burke tackled the Ensworth quarterback for a safety. Against Page, tightend Clay T rabue and s ' plitend Brennan Martin both caught touchdown passes from Bobby Witson. The Microbes came back after two losses to Northside and Brentwood to win the season finale against arch-rival BGA, 8- 0. Offensive lineman Paul Lentz and linebacker Mark Smith both had good games. Coach Compton says that the team had a strong of- fensive and defensive line along with a good kickinggame. With the addition of the Ensworth Freshman next year, the future for this team looks bright. The Microbe B team finished the season at 2-2 under the direction of Mr. Elliott. ■ms 151 Once again, Montgomery Bell Academy’s Varsi- ty Cross-Country Team defeated every NIL Team it faced, and successfully defended it ' s Regional Championship title. But, this team managed to accomplish a few more things that no other team in the history of the school has. Not only did the Big Red defeat out-of-town ri- val Clarksville Northwest on their home turf for the first time ever, but they also maintained an undefeated overall record — another first on the hill. Perhaps their greatest achievement, though, was each members’ personal perfor- mance in the NIL Championship under the lead- ership and experience of coaches Michael Drake (whose cranberry bread baking skills in- spired many to run 10 miles to his home in Franklin at 8:00 A.M. in 30° weather) and Rob- ert Pruitt (whose dedication found him at the Steeplechase Course in a lawn chair due to back injury — against the recommendation of his doctors). Though the team was unable to bring home the championship trophy, they did finish 9th, which is another unprecedented feat in MBA history. Congratulations. Gentlemen!!!! ‘2W2 Front Row: R.

This win was led by Steve Zi- bas who placed first. The Microbe Cross Country Team was only beaten once, by Northside in the H.V.A.C. Championship. This victory for Northside was a great challenge, but MBA had three very strong runners to lead the way and give North- side a “run for their money.” These run- ners were Andy Davis, who won third place, Rob Crowell who finished in fourth place, and Steve Zibas who had a very good final year by getting fifth place. Northside had only two runners in the top five who got first and second place. This was the only loss that the Microbe had all season. Winter 158 Santa ' s good to Terry . . .

Prior to the 1982-1983 basketball season, the Big Red looked forward to a promising year. With nine return- ing lettermen, good height and tal- ent, a new coach, and steady prep- aration before the season, the players and fans held high expecta- tions for the team. These expecta- tions were encouraged even further when MBA trounced Ezell-Harding in the season opener 56-21. Then the team traveled to Kingsport, Tennes- see, where they were brought back to grim reality when state powers Dobyns-Bennett and Sullivan North breezed by the Big Red while new coach Mark Elliot, anticipating fa- therhood, traveled back and forth to Nashville. The team returned flat from the trip to squeak by single A opponent Franklin Road Academy by two points. They then proceeded to lose eleven straight district games in- termingled with a loss to arch-rival BGA and three more slim victories over single A opponents Lipscomb and Nashville Christian. MBA did win in the first round of the Ryan Invita- tional over Manchester and went on to lose to Ryan in the finals. The high- light of the season came when the Big Red caught Brentwood by sur- prise, beating them 76-59 with 21 point efforts from both Jim Fite and Matt Drury. Brentwood was to get revenge, however, a week later. MBA won its first and last district game against Antioch 41-33, and then lost to Pearl and Hillsboro. The team fin- ished off the regular season with a victory over BGA 48-47. In spite of the long weeks of monotonous prac- tices, desultory substitutions, and many disheartening events in gener- al, the team did pull together for one last attempt to salvage the year in the opening round of the district tournament against district champi- ons Pearl. When regulation time ran out, the score was 48-48; however, a foul was called as the horn went off, and Pearl hit a foul shot to advance to the second round — a frustrating end to a frustrating year. Smith makes the stuff Coach Elliot talks strategy J.V. Basketball First row: Frist, Brown, Peffen, Wolfe, Chickey, Jackson, Pirrie: Second row: Vance, Stroman, Richards, Trost, Lindsey After an initial victory over FRA, the Junior Varsity basket- ball team suffered through 12 disappointing losses in their next 13 games but rebounded in a wave of enthusiasm sparked by the addition of Davidson French and Fletcher Lance in their last 6 games ending at 8-12. The JV was led throughout the year by the inside power of Paul Richards (11 points and 8 rebounds per game) and Michael Pirrie (8 points and 5 rebounds per game). The lack of a team success in their first 14 games does not reflect some out- standing individual performances: Richard’s 23 points in a 51-73 loss to Millwood, Robin “Hollywood” Henderson’s 17 points in a 43-57 loss to Overton, and Harry Peffen’s 16 points in a confidence building victory over Brentwood Academy, 59-42. The shot of the year occurred in a 39-47 loss to Pearl when Kevin Wolfe launched a prayer which ripped the net as the buzzer sounded ending the half. Coach Tommy Owen’s tireless work and emphasis result- ed in an unrelenting defense which became the most obvi- ous difference over previous JV teams. This vastly im- proved defense led by the steals of guards Peffen and Henderson and the inside intimidation of Richards brought about late season success. The JV, with the strong support of Jack Brown, Alan Jackson, Steve Stro- man and Steve Young showed their ability to be victorious in their last six games: 42-34 over archrival Ryan, 46-41 over Millwood, 56-26 over Antioch 51-49 over Pearl (led by Pirrie’s 22 points), 60-49 over Hillsboro (led by French’s 16 points), and a season ending 55-48 victory over BGA. 164 Freshman Basketball Kelley, Easter, Blade, Meng, Owen, McNair, Masten, Paisley, Schmitt, Bueno, Pardue, Malone, Patikas, Todd The MBA freshman basketball team completed a very impressive 1982-83 season. With the exception of a somewha t disappointing tournament, the frosh played almost flawless basketball in posting one of the best records in the history of MBA freshman basketball with a 13-4 mark. Jay “Skywalker” Schmitt proved to be the intimidat- ing factor for the freshman squad, scoring at close to a 16 point clip as well as dominating the boards on each end of the court. When asked for a comment. Jay said, “We’re really awesome this year. Every- body’s finally playing together.’’ Talbot Masten add- ed extra aggressive play and shooting from the out- side, averaging 13.3 points per game. Other valuable starters included excellent point guard Mike Blade, steady Dave Malone, and jumping Jack Todd. Coach Bennett was naturally very pleased with this year’s team. He described this squad as a very tal- ented one and said that if the members of this team continue to work hard and improve, the prospects for the future of MBA basketball will be bright. 165 Microbe Basketball First Row: Russell, Morrissey, Burch, Teas, Brown; Second Row: Coach Sacclarides, Martin, Parris, Lentz, Mayes, Meyer, Trabue, Blaufuss After a disappointing loss in the H,V.A.C, finals last year, the 1982-1983 Microbe Basketball team won the H.V.A.C. Cham- pionship. The Microbes posted a 13-3 re- cord this year, suffering losses only to Brentwood, Northside, and B.G.A.. The of- fensive attack was led by eighth graders Paul Lentz, Peter Paris, and Charles Mayes, as well as by seventh grader Marc Smith. The defense was led by seventh grader Mike ‘‘Hands” Morrissey, and a strong 2-3 zone. The Microbes defeated Brentwood in the finals of the H.V.A.C. Tourny, 37 to 32, to give MBA its first bas- ketball title of any kind since 1972. Coach Sacclarides deserves much praise for an outstanding job. 166 Swim Team 167 This year marks the first year since 1976 that MBA has had the priviiege of a swim team. The team, coached by Tim Keough, practiced at Nashviiie Aquatic Ciub in preparation for the State Swimming Meet in Knoxviiie. The team members were the foiiowing: Erik Sundeii, Sam Howard, John Downer, Gary Asher, Jimmy O’Neii, David Kurtz, Chris Hines, and John Heer. The mediey reiay of Heer, Kurtz, Sundeii, and Hines reached the consoiation finais and piaced a surprising ninth out of over thirty teams in the State meet. First Row: Hines, Downer, Asher; Second Row; Pinto, Howard, Heer, Kurtz Varsity Wrestling — 3rd in the State First Row: P. Lentz. B. Ledyard, G. Dukes, C. Smith, S. Thompson: Second Row: Coach Williams, S. Garfinkle, B. Blevins, J. Levy, J. Dale, W. Smithwick, J. Robbins: Third Row: K. Rollins, M. Laws, Bruiser, S. Albright, S. Rollins, S. Shankle 168 Continuing a reputation for constant improvement, the Montgomery Bell Academy wrestling program, under the guidance of “drill-master” Steve Williams, once again had a season of unprecedented accomplishments. The MBA men began the season at a slow pace suffering two early losses to Millwood and Union County Ken- tucky. The Big Red’s poor perfor- mance at the annual Christmas Tour- nament — The Overton Invita- tional — did not raise the teams hopes either. The Christmas prac- tices (Mr. Gaither’s Christmas par- ties) began the following Monday with Coach Williams determined to improve the situation. The Father Ryan Tournament, however, was not a manifestation of the “improve- ment” Coach Williams had in mind. The team once again faired poorly. Then came the Millwood Tourney. The Big Red, coming off an easy vic- tory over Brentwood Academy, rolled into the Millwood Tourney with a renewed optimism, taking second place behind a powerful McGavock team. This respectable finish fueled the fire for the ensuing duel match with the region’s premier wrestling team. MBA had not defeated Father Ryan in the sport for over 20 years until January 26, 1983, a proud mo- ment in the hearts of MBA wrestling fans. The Mama was proud of her boys. The following day, MBA lost a close match to a powerful Overton team. Two days later, MBA bounced back and handily thrashed both Bay- lor and McCallie in a triangular meet. Then the season really began with the district tournament at Nashville Christian School. The team started the tournament knowing that victory was possible, but a supreme effort would be required from each individ- ual. State Champions Scott Garfinkle and Kent Rollins, Runner-up John Dale Shankle and Levy show practice form 169 Smithwick tangles up MBA advanced six wrestlers to the finals; John Dale, Steve Shankle, Kent Rollins, Scott Albright, Mike Laws, and Bruce Bruiser” Bentley. Coach Williams was particularly pleased with Senior Scott Albright, who began his season after Christ- mas and put forth the supreme effort and won a district championship for himself and the team. The next weekend was the Regional Tournament. MBA took ten wrestlers to the tournament; unfortunately only three advanced to the State. Steve Shankle showed an impressive effort losing a very close match in the consolation semi-finals which kept him from going to the State. Overall, the Regional tournament was anticlimactical after the District victory, but the State tournament re- mained. After the Region, only three wres- tlers remained to prepare for the State meet. Each wrestler hoped to gain a State title for himself and pos- sibly for the team. After several hard fought matches, all three wrestlers were surprised to find themselves in the finals with a chance of placing. Scott Garfinkle was the first to wres- tle in the finals, putting forth a valiant effort with a dislocated shoulder to win his first State title. John Dale was the second to wrestle. He faced a de- fending State champ from East Ridge and was defeated in a hard fought match. Inspired by the deter- mined effort of Scott and John, Kent Rollins defeated his opponent to cap- ture the title. MBA placed a remark- able 3rd in the State meet, hopefully strengthening MBA’s tradition of im- provement. A tradition which will have to be maintained by John Rob- bins, Walter Smithwick, Scott Garfin- kle, Brad Blevins, Steven Rollins, Parish Lentz, and of course Steve Williams. Good Luck. 171 Freshman Wrestling First Row: Szydio. Nash, Graber, Brothers, Sanders, Campbell, W., Vaughn, Martine, Crowell: Second Row: Jenkins, Tidwell, Soper, Pendleton, Sieveking, Dillon, Carney After having a perfect pre-Christmas season, the Freshman w restlers suffered their only loss to a strong Franklin Jr. High team. But the team went on to avenge this loss by beating Franklin Jr. High and all other opponents in the district tournament held at MBA. MBA had eight people take home medals including Will Campbell — 3rd, Howard Tidwell and Chris Sanders taking 2nd, and Russ Brothers, Bill Cochran, Paul Soper, Reed Pendleton, and John Jenkins all receiving 1st place medals. Then the MBA grapplers travelled to McGavock to wrestle in the Regional Tournament where they took 1st place, a feat never accomplished by any other MBA Freshman wrestling team. The medalists from MBA included: Chris Sanders and Will Campbell at 3rd place; Howard Tidwell and John Jenkins at 2nd place, while taking cham- pionship spots were Russ Brothers, Paul Soper, and Bill Cochran. The Freshman Wrestlers are all expected to make a great contribution to Varsity Wrestling in the years to come. 172 Microbe Wrestling First Row: Szydio, Edwards, Spence, Nash, Martine, Bringle, Ruccio, Crowell; Second Row: Riven, Graber, Carney, Dillon, Meyer This year’s inexperienced microbe team proved them- selves to be a strong competitive force. Coached b y Mr. Anderson Gaither and Alumnus Scott Haynes, the disci- plined team vied in the HVAC Tournament on December 3, 1982 and finished a disappointing fourth place. Individual winners were: John Szydio — First; Trajan Carney — First; and Lewis Graber — Second — in their individual weight classes. The highlight of the season was the team’s upset victory over Brentwood during the regular season. Groundbreaking 176 The cold, wintry day of March 10, 1983, marked the beginning of the final chapter in a new era of MBA ' s educational and Athletic pro- grams, namely, the renovation and expansion of the Brownlee Currey Gymnasium. The for- mal groundbreaking ceremony was held pri- marily to recognize the contributions and ef- forts of friends, parents, and alumni who made it possible, through pledges and donations in excess of $7.5 million to construct the new fa- cilities. Actual construction was slated to begin in mid-April, and the plans not only included the addition of a new high-school sized gym and wrestling room, but also the acquisition of sore- ly needed facilities such as a laundry room, ex- tra locker rooms, new science classrooms, and laboratories. The event itself had a sizeable tur- nout, consisting mainly of MBA ' s Board of Trustees, parents, alumni, general contribu- tors, and students. Key speeches were delivered by Mr. Bondur- ant, the Headmaster, who emphasized the sig- nificance of the occasion as a thank you for the generosity,” and by Joe Davis, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who stated that the school was in the “best shape ever,” thanks to the new additions. Then various people, instru- mental to the school ' s campaign drive, over- turned a few ceremonial shoveisful of dirt sym- bolizing the school ' s effort to achieve substantial progress in athletics as well as aca- demic fields. Varsity Baseball 180 First Row (L to R): Black. Morrissey. Peffen. Malone. Nowell. Smith. Warren; Second Row: Brothers. Mclilwain. Masten. Fridrich. Jenkins. Hayes. Gaw, Jackson. Morales The 1983 Varsity Baseball team completed the most successful season in five years with a second place finish in the district and a subsequent trip to the regional compiled a record of 1 3-8-1 . The year opened up on a less than optimistic note, however, as a much awaited trip to Florida turned into a rain-soaked adventure. The weather was a little better for the Big Red ' s first district game, a loss to Antioch. Millwood ventured to MBA next for the first game on MBA ' s new field. One could feel something different about this day: the weather was nice, the dedication ceremony proceeded smoothly, and the baseball team looked fired up. The result; a 10-0 trouncing of Millwood as Will Nowell pitched an excellent game and Jeff Gaw belted out four hits. The team next ventured to a rain-soaked Centennial Field to play Father Ryan, resulting in a 4-4 tie. The next day. MBA ventured to Clarksville to play Clarksville Northeast. After a shaky start, the team rallied to claim the victory 7-5. Will Nowell got the win and also blasted a two run homer. The Varsity then proceeded to play in the I.S.N.A. Tournament held at MBA. Ezell Marding was the first victim as the team rolled to an easy 9-1 victory behind the right arm of pitcher David Mclilwain. The team then defeated defending Class A Champion David Lipscomb. 5-2. The next. day. however, rain forced a cancellation of the finals, and MBA received a co-championship with Brentwood Academy in the tourna- ment. In a game with Overton. Mclilwain pitched an excellent game but came out on the losing end 2-1. Glencliff took the team ' s ire by being trampled 7-3. The next day Millsboro visited the MBA field. Marry Peffen. Rob McNaire. Talbot Masten. and Thomas Warren wore out various Burro pitchers as the Red rolled 10-1. The next two games saw MBA lose to Antioch (10-1) and Millwood (3-2). In one of the more exciting games this year. MBA defeated Ryan 4-3. This come-from-behind victory was followed by a 13-5 rout by Overton. MBA. however, got revenge on Pearl the next day with a double-header sweep of the Tigers 16-3 and 18-2. For the last regular season game. MBA travelled to Millsboro. where they swamped the Burros 13-3. The team then prepared for the district tournament, which started in two days. Glencliff was the first opponent in the single elimination round. In a highly action-packed game. MBA came away with a nin- inning 8-7 victory. Will Nowell pitched well to up his record to 7-1 . MBA fell in the second round to Overton and John Mitchell ' s pitching. Playing in the losers bracket of the tournament. MBA demolished Millwood 12-3. MBA then came upon Antioch to decide who would play Overton for the district championship. A regional trip was also on the line. Behind the fabuloXJS pitching of David Mclilwain. MBA squeaked out a 2-1 win. In the championship game. MBA fell to highly talented Overton 11-0. MBA then travelled to McGavock for the single elimination regional tournament. In the first game. MBA came up against a superior McGa- vock squad and lost 13-3. The defense of the Big Red throughout the season was excellent. Rob McNaire and Robert Black alternat- ed at third. Will Nowell and Dave Malone occupied shortstop. Bobby Morales and Jeff Gaw played second and first, respectively. Marry Peffen. John Morissey. and Thomas Warren were consistent in the outfield. With the return of most of the team ' s players, the future looks bright for baseball at MBA. Mclilwain fires one � v Malone takes a base Morales hits the dirt w r C ' y d r - m pi-m.

Coach Mike Caldwell faced what he thought a re-building year. With 5 eighth graders returning from last year’s team, several positions remained to be determined. After line-up juggling and position shifts, the season opened at home against FRA. The team played well but lost a heart- breaking one-run game (12-1 1), giving up six runs in the last inning. In the teams next game, the Microbes trailed rival Ensworth 8-2 before making a brilliant comeback that unfortunately came up short; this time the score was 9-8. After two tough one-run losses. Coach Cald- well looked for better defense and a pitching ace. The Microbes traveled next to Franklin to play traditionally tough Franklin Jr. High. Although playingwell and much improved overtheirfirsttwo outings, the Little Red lost another tough one-run game, 4-3. The team, however, had improved greatly in their first three games and took out their frustrations on a helpless BGA as the Microbes coasted to a 22-1 victory. The team continued steady improvement and faced their stiffest test in eventual HVAC champion Northside. After an 1 1-4 defeat in the first game, the Microbes returned home to play Northside again. The Little Red handed Northside their only HVAC loss by playing brilliantly in a 12-11 slugfest. The team contin- ued its successes by drilling FRA 13-5 and Ensworth 9-3, completing the team’s HVAC schedule with a record of 4-3 in league play by sweeping 4 out of their last 5 league games. Individually, the Microbes were lead by the pitching of ace Brennon Martin (3-1) and the hitting of Marc Smith (.412), Bobby Whitson (.400), Chris Burch (.364), Skip Burke (.357), Brennon Martin (.348), and Mike Morrissey (.333). Coach Cal(dwell looks on from thir(j. 183 Varsity Track Front Row (L to R): K. Rollins, Smithwick, Hardcastle, Rau, Alley, Wilk, Bond, Mclilwain, S.

The IviDn track team had its best season in the last ten years. The team began its excellent season by outrunning defending state track champion Hillsboro, and then com- piling a 4-1 dual meet record with victories over Franklin, Franklin Road, and Millwood. The only loss for the Big Red was against Overton, but the team won many running events. The team placed second at the Tornado Track Classic at McCallie, third in the Banner Relays, and fifth in the Western Kentucky Relays. In the field events, the shot and the discus were led by David Maddux, with Steve Shankle and Brooks Corzine in the Pole Vault. The strength of the running events came from Brooks Corzine and Mark Robinson in the High Hurdles, the 800 meter relay (Bryan Hassel, Buddy Knight, Steve Rollins, and Da- vid Chickey), the 1600 meter relay (Bryan Hassel, David Chickey, Mark Robinson and Runcie Clements), the 3200 relay (Rob Alley, Bill Tirrill, Terry Watterson, and Runcie Clements), and Brooks Corzine in the 300 Intermediate Hurdles. MBA was honored by hosting the state track meet, and due to the work of Mr. Drake, Mr. Pruitt, the faculty, and the students, the meet resulted in a large success. Brooks Corzine was the only qualifier for the state meet finishing 4th in the Pole Vault. Next year’s track team should have another successful and rewarding season despite the loss of the talented senior track stars. Bodine glides Freshman Track First Row (L to R): Gilleland.

Fish The 1983 freshman track team had a fair season this spring, winning only one dual meet but placing respectfully in the remaining five meets against larger and more talent laden teams. The frosh were paced this year by strong pole vaulters Paul Soper, Kenny Russell, and Hunt Adams and speedy Fred Jenkins who finished third in the mid-state in the 110 meter hurdles. Other impressive performances were given by Pat Bowers (5:04.1) and Trey Kelley (5:18.7) in the 1600 meters, John Jenkins (42’7V4 ) in the shot put, and the mile relay team of Jim Hunt, Pat Bowers, Fred Woodruff, and Gavin Moon (3:58.0). After finishing second to the Apollo speed merchants and mauling Knox Doss 96-17, the freshman tracksters were over-powered by Overton 83-31. They then suffered a heartbreaking one point loss to Hillwood. Following this defeat, the MBA freshmen placed third out of eight teams in the Hendersonville Invitational, losing to perennial powers Overton and Whites Creek. They next captured a fourth place trophy out of ten teams in the Olympic Trophy Invitational in which the top finishers were Apollo, East and White Creek respectively. Finally the frosh finished the season at the Mid-State Invitational. 186 Microbe Track Front Row (L to R): Cassety, R. Crowell. Tate, Speight, Holladay, Bobo, Jack. Hitt. Archer, Zibas; Second Row: Trabue, Graber, Davis. Ruccio, Piazza. Nash. Fly. Edwards, Jackson; Third Row: Spence. Myer. Farrar. Burke, Boone, Allen, Pelaez, Burt. Dudley. Paris, Smith The Microbe Track Team was led by Will Meyer, Peter Paris, Clay Trabue, Trajan Carney, Trey Spence, and Todd Cassetty. This ’83 team fin- ished 2nd in the HVAC tournament. Coach Gaither and Williams worked the Microbe tracksters hard and long and eventually in the end the work paid off. Some of the individual highs of the year were Will Meyer pole vaulting 10’6”, Peter Paris high jump- ing 5 ' 9V2”, Clay Trabue finishing third in the hur- dles at the HVAC tournament, Trajan Carney shot putting 35’1 r Trey Spence running a five minute fifteen second mile, and Todd Cassetty finishing third in the hurdles against Ensworth and FRA. Although most of these people will be moving up to the 9th grade, the Microbe Track team will still have leadership under such teammates as Rich- ard Speight, David Bobo, and David Hollyday. f M Varsity Golf The 1983 golf team had very big shoes to fill this year, for it was expected to repeat the state championship of the previous year’s team. Those expected to lead the team were Jim Brown and Tommy Duncan, junior Marvin Mor- ris, and freshman Pat Parker. Providing leadership was Coach “Doc” Fairbairn. The team meandered through the year with an impressive 19-1 dual match record. The lone loss came to Clarksville, a perennial nemesis of the Big Red. The team then finished a disappointing 6th place in the Coca-Cola Prep Classic. The best tournament finish for the linksters this year was second place in the MBA Spring Challenge, which brought together most of the state prowess of Tennessee. The Big Red ran away with the district tournament post- ing a 302 total and a 10-0 record. Morris’ four-under 68 gained medalist honors and tied a district record. Jim Brown’s even par 72, placed him third individually: Dun- can’s 78 and Parker’s 84 made up the total. The team then drudged its way through the regional tournament playing possibly its worst golf of the year, finishing first, but posting a 316 total. Duncan and Morris tied for third individually at 77, Brown finished with a 78 and Parker finished at 84. After playing numerous practice rounds, the Big Red seemed ready to play well and possibly win the two day State Championship. The team to beat was Clarksville. The Big Red posted a 309 total the first day, leaving the Big Red six shots behind Clarksville. The next day Clarks- ville’s lead only grew and was a gaping 12 strokes. MBA was not even in second place at this time, for Greenville had slipped past the Big Red into second. The team was finally inspired to play its best golf of the entire year. The Big Red, playing in the rain and gusty wind, posted a team total of an even par 144 on the back nine. Duncan and Morris turned in one-under 35’s, Parker a 36, and Brown a 38 missing some short putts. The im- possible had seemed to have happened, all 12 strokes had been made up when Clarksville’s last man came to the last hole. This man, Craig Rudolph, son of pro Mason Rudolph, had to finish 2-over par for the day for a sudden death team playoff to occur. Rudolph, however, sank a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to capture the title for Clarks- ville by one slim stroke. Second place was awarded to MBA, and the team could be proud that their true talent had finally shown this year. Marvin Morris finished 5th individually in the state and Tommy Duncan 7th. Junior High Golf This year, MBA was represented by three differ- ent junior high teams. The first team finished the season with an 8-0 record, overwhelming the other opponents in the Junior High Tourna- ment. This team was composed of Keith Pais- ley, playing number one. Chip Redd, John Teas, and Mike Blade. Through impressive coaching by John Sacclarides, the second team followed suit and took second place. This team was com- posed of Michael Shears, Brian Ritchie, Bren- non Fitzpatrick, and Braxton Perkins. The re- mainder of the little linksters are as follows: Richard Giardina, Christopher Ptomey, John Mikulak, and Robbie Westermann, Coach Sac- clarides feels confident that these young golfers will contribute a great deal to the future of MBA golf and should add some color to Doc ' s team next year. First Row (L to R): Westermann, Giardina, Shears, Thompson, Teas, Perkins, Fitzpatrick, Ptomey: Second Row: Paisley, Albrecht, Richie, Mikulak 190 Varsity Tennis 191 Front Row (L to R): Wilson, Mason, Warner, Carter; Back Row: Casey, Smith, Fails, Fite, Gallaher MBA continued its long-standing domina- tion over NIL tennis this season. Even with the loss of Danny Deblanc, the team won easily over Nashville area schools. Unfor- tunately the team suffered losses to ten- nis powerhouses Memphis University School and Knoxville Webb. These were the only two losses suffered by the team, which finished the year with an 11-2 re- cord with wins over rival McCallie (6-3) and Brentwood Academy (8-1). During the season, the team participated in two prestigious tournaments: the Ro- tary and the Carter Invitational. At the Ro- tary, the team finished fifth. The only points scored were by Gallaher and Lance, who defeated the Westminster doubles team. In the Carter Invitational, the team faired a little bit better. Each member of the team recorded a first round victory. The best finish posted was by the team of Gallaher and Lance, who finished second in doubles to the team of Bob Williams and Eddie Gonzalez of Baylor. This year MBA again won the District Title but it was quite a battle. John Gallaher, despite a hard-fought match, lost to Scott Vowels of Hill- wood in the finals and Fletcher Lance defeated Andy Johnston of University School for third. However, their wins were not enough to clinch the District. The district had to be decided by the final match between MBA and Hillwood. The doubles team of Gallaher and Lance faced Vow- els and Hitwood for the team title. Despite be- ing down 4-1 in the third set, the MBA team fought back to eventually win the match. Now on to the region. The singles players who made t he region were John Gallaher and Fletcher Lance and the doubles team of Gal- laher and Lance. John Gallaher finished second in the singles with a fine showing in the tourna- ment. Again, the region was decided by the last match between Gallaher and Lance of MBA and Vowels and Hitwood of Hillwood. This time the score was 6-1, 6-1 for Gallaher and Lance. The season culminated with the state tourna- ment. John Gallaher represented the team in singles and Lance and Gallaher represented the team in doubles. Both teams made it through the first day. On the second day Gallaher was eliminated by Murray Garrard 6-4, 6-2 and the doubles team was eliminated by Baylor 6-2, 2- 6 , 6 - 1 . This year ' s team consisted of John Gallaher at one, Fletcher Lance at two. Hunt Warner at number three, Jim Fite at four. Kip Smith at five, and Garth Fails and Bronson Casey at six. With the exception of Jim Fite and Bronson Ca- sey, this year’s team was composed of four ju- niors and a sophomore. The team showed great potential and progress during the season with great promise for the future. 192 Microbe Tennis First Row (L to R): Baird, McLeod, Riven; Second Row Lentz, Mayes, Davis, Blaufuss. This year the Microbe Tennis Team, led by eight-graders Sandy McLeod, Charles Mayes, Chip Blaufuss, Jody Davis, and first year sensation Paul Lentz, compiled a 5-2 record. The only losses came to powerhouses Baylor and Ensworth. In the H.V.A.C. Tournament, Coach Rick Carter was confident because MBA had four teams in the finals. The Microbes fin- ished second in the tournament with victories in the number one and two doubles by Davis and Lentz and sev- enth grade up-comers Jay Riven and Chris Bard. 193 Varsity Soccer Front Row; Swartz, Enkena, Guzikowski, Hall, Wolfe, Wheatcraft, Helm, Jones Back Row: Don, Sloan, Edwards, Schenker, Todd, Ballenger, Zibas, French, Hutchison, Baughman The varsity soccer team completed its season on May 14 by losing its season finals to Hendersonville in the finals of the state tournament. Under the guidance of Mr. Lanier, the team compiled an 11-2-4 record. Mr. Lanier com- mented: “I was quite pleased with our season, but not completely. It would have been nice to win the final.” The offense was led by senior Allan Wheatcraft with 18 goals and Tim Don with 15. The defense was anchored by fullbacks Elliot Sloan and Davidson French. Junior Currey Hall established himself as one of the top, if not the top, goalkeeper in the state. MBA will lose departing seniors Jeff Edwards, Todd Helm, Ron Hutchison, Andrew Schenker, Allan Wheatcraft, Walt Zibas: but a strong nucleus, including eight rising seniors, returns next year. “We should have a strong defense next year, Mr. Lanier added,” but our offense will be questionable.” ' JAilW 194 sMmM The Student Council The great organization of the Student Council The Student Council set out this year with the aim of maintaining the standard set by previous councils. As the year progressed several projects unfolded. The first event was the third annual Square Dance with Harpeth Hall. Despite the meager support by upper school students, this “hoe-down was a success, and a few coun- try boys learned to cut a rug. Next, the Council again joined with Harpeth Hall to exchange a few ideas on school life by exchanging students for a day. Valentine’s Day rolled around and the students enjoyed sending letters of love to their female cohorts. Finally, the Student Council ventured out on its own to sponsor an April Fool ' s Dance. This event provided a good time for all who chose to at- tend. (The other fools stayed at home!) Throughout the year, several proposals were admitted to the Headmaster and faculty for adoption. Few of these proposals were approved, but ideas were made known in any case. 198 Honor Council First Row: Maler, Dale. Jackson, Cochran: Second Row: Whiteaker, Hines, Alley. Knight: Third Row: Hall, Harrison, Chickey. Bueno Created in 1945 by Dr. R.L. Sager, the Honor Council is designed to help the students at MBA. The Honor Council ' s main goal is to pro- mote honesty, integrity, and self-respect in each student by supporting a system of moral standards. Composed of a small body of stu- dents from each class, the Honor Council hears cases of lying, cheating, and stealing, and de- termines the punishment for each case. The faculty is informed of the proceedings of every meeting but has no power to make decisions on punishments unless there is a case of suspen- sion. This year’s Honor Council showed fairness in its decisions on punishments and received great cooperation from the student body. 199 Se ' ft.vf ce As stated in its constitution, the MBA Service Club is an honorary organization which renders service to the school and the community. Under the leadership of Ron Deal and Mack Brothers, the 1982-83 Service Club worked harder than ever to meet the needs for which it was established. During the Fall, Service Club Members served as ush- ers for football games and helped with the prepara- tions for the Spaghetti Supper and Homecoming. The onset of Winter saw the Service Club active in the community going door-to-door selling Big Broth- er papers. Service Club members helped assure the success of the Southern Bell Forum by working as hosts and timekeepers. In addition, the Service Club collected ticket money at basketball games and wrestling matches and assisted the Fathers Club in the operation of the basketball concession stand. During the Spring athletic season, the Service Club assumed full control of concessions, operating stands at baseball, track, soccer, and tennis con- tests. The addition of concessions management to the Service Club’s duties resulted in a tremendous increase in the Service Club’s treasury. Under the guidance of Mr. John Bennett, the Service Club is continually looking for new ways to help the school and the community. Though they often do not receive any recognition for their services, the thirty-two members of the Service Club are nonethe- less proud to help in any way they can. As their motto states; “Small Service Is True Service.’’ First Row: Gaw, Nowell, Black, Helm, Finks; Second Row: Brothers, Morrissey, Morales, Lackey, Deal; Third Row: Maler, Smith, Warren, Chickey ART The Art Department of MBA had another successful year, sponsoring both community and student projects. Under the direction of Jim Womack, a graduate of art history at Davidson College, the school’s art program showed a higher quality of work and involvement, ranging from pottery and painting to album covers. In mid-September, the department hosted Mrs. W.F. Chen’s collection of Taiwanese art which depicted Oriental landscapes in stunning watercolors. Later on in the school year, the pot- tery, paintings, and quilts from the collection of Ann Hayes graced the walls of the Patrick Wilson Library and attracted a large group of art admirers to the school. In March, the programs consisted largely of the works of Paul Zeppelinski, a noted artist: and in April Mr. Robert McConnell presented a collection of original album cover art. Student art was yet another important facet in the art department’s success. The Art Show of Composition Red and Green, sponsored by MBA and Harpeth Hall, allowed students to develope artistic skills and visualize their own world, drawing praise from parents and students alike. The 8 foot painting of James Dean, which was used in the play “Grease,” was also a great accomplishment of the Art Department. Those who contributed much to the drawing included Andrew Schenker, Mack Broth- ers, Jim Gardner, and Garth Nash; but Mr. Womack indicated that it was also the complete cooperation between the Art Department and the stu- dent body which made the year successful. Cum Laude The Cum Laude Society was estab- lished in 1906 as an honorary frater- nity to recognize students who have achieved academic excellence in high school and is the high school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa. The motto of the Cum Laude Society, consisting of the Greek words ARETt DIKt and TIMt stands for Excellence,” “Justice,” and, “Hon- or.” In 1981 the Montgomery Bell Acade- my Chapter of the Cum Laude Soci- ety was established, and new mem- bers have been selected to join the fraternity each year. On April 21 , the new members were inducted in a special assembly in which Dr. John Lachs, a professor of philosophy at Vanderbilt University, was the guest speaker. In this assembly, both new members and members in course were honored. First Row: Reverend Woods, Finks, Jackson. Van Riper, Ryu, Moyers, Lansdon Robbins: Second Row: Chang, Edwards, Hassel, Lyn Robbins, Maler, Lynch, N. Andrews, Dr. Lachs Fellowship of Christian Athletes First Row: Reasor, Finks. Vaughn, Cochran, Dale; Second Row: Brothers, Graham, Pardue, Walker, Fuson; Third Row: Donnell, Smith, Helm, Brown, Stroman, Clements The MBA Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes is composed of approximately 20-25 stu- dents in the high school. The club is a group of Chris- tians who meet to share joys, aches, troubles, and prayers. One does not have to be an athlete to be in the huddle. F.C.A. is a fellowship of athletes with Christ in the middle. The group does offer on and off the field goals and attitudes for the ever-growing Christian. This year under the leadership of Mack Brothers, John Dale, and Todd Helm, with much ap- preciated help from the sponsors. Coach Jefferson and Coach Elliot, the F.C.A. accomplished all its goals it set out to conquer. 203 The cheerleaders combined the tra- ditional pep rallies with innovative ideas. As in the past, they led the grunts, shouts, and cheers while the football players and guest speakers also fired up the players and stu- dents. In addition, the fire drill, the visit from the Hillsboro Burros, and the appearance of a Mexican Tony Miller added more excitement to the pep rallies. Overall, the cheerleaders proved themselves to be the embodiment of the Big Red Spirit. Cheerleaders The year got off to a roaring start for the cheerleaders when they traveled with Mr. Carter and Dr. Thomas to Cheerleader Training Camp at the home of the MTSU Blue Raiders. Upon their return, they continued to work hard in preparation for the sea- son. Debate The 1981-1982 debate season ended on a very high note last summer as the teams of Craig Franklin Wyatt Wells and Lyn Robbins Bryan Hassel journeyed to San Francisco for the national tournament. Franklin and Wells emerged from the event as the number four team in the nation, and the 1982-1983 team never let that ranking fall very far. After working in summer institutes at Baylor, Lo uisville, and Georgetown, the team, made up of one senior, two juniors, four sopho- mores, and a throng of frosh returned to the Hill. Early victories were recorded by the top team of Lyn Robbins Griffin Vincent at such tournaments as St. Mark’s, Mars Hill, Madison-Overton, and Ohio State, along with a second place at Northwestern University, the nation’s largest tourna- ment. Invitations to prestigious round-robins at Glenbrook North High School and Georgetown University rounded out a successful first semester for the varsity, as well as for the novices, of whom Robert Harris, Warren Sprouse, Niku Wasudev, Rob Ikard, Jeff Dale, Merritt Seshul, Willie Lin, Scott Bennett, and John-Lindell Pfeffer showed great promise. Another freshman, Madison Laird, performed well at the varsity level, as did Tommy Outlaw and Doug Johnson, both sopho- mores. The second semester brought about some partner shifts, and by January, the top two varsity teams were solidified as Lyn Robbins Sam Chang and Tommy Outlaw Robert Harris. Robbins and Chang captured first place at the University of Alabama, and a very respectable fifth at the Barkley Forum, held at Emory University. There are two ways that a debate team may qualify for the National Tournament. These two are by winning the district tournament, or by capturing the state crown. Since the state of Tennessee constitutes one National Forensic League district, there are essentially two state tournaments to determine Tennessee’s representatives to the nationals. At the district tournament held at Over- ton High School in February, Robbins and Chang captured first place; at April’s state tournament held at East Tennessee State University, Outlaw and Harris won top honors. Thus, for the second year in a row, MBA will send two teams to the nationals! With only senior Lyn Robbins leaving the team, coach Tom Sullivan looks for continued success from the debate team in the future. First Row: Hardin, Seshul, Pfeffen, Sprouse, Chang, Dale, Ikard. Outlaw; Second Row: Lin, Laird, Harris, Bennett, Frazier, Rafalowski, Wasudev; Third Row: Springer, Kahlon, Johnson, Farrar, Robbins. The Outing Club 1983 marks the fourth year of the existence of the Outing Club. The last five of the original Outing Club will be graduating this year: Paul Tidwell, Aaron Isherwood, Bert Chaffin, Charlie Cox, and Mack Brothers. Between them, they have participated in all twenty-six of the trips in the Outing Club’s history. This year the Club explored three caves in Franklin County which it had not previously studied. Dry Cave has one room bigger than a football field, while Wet Cave has a room with a foot and a half of mud in it. Walker Springs Cave, the most treacherous of the three, is only six inches of air. In addition to caving, the Outing Club did a good amount of hiking. This year the hikers covered the thirty miles of the Appalachian Trail from Devil’s Fork Gap all the way to Erwin, Tennessee. On one of these trips, they hiked over the beautiful Big Bald, a five thousand foot grass-covered mountain. The Outing Club has hopes for another great year in ’84 but regrets the loss of old members as they pass on to college. Left to Right: Cox, Isherwood, Tidwell, Chaffin, Pearson, Stuart, Davis, Farrar, Thompson, Classen, Fuson, Adams, Davies, Mr. Womack “Grease” This year, the MBA “Greasers” pulled off one of the most talked about plays of the year. What they said, however, I cannot repeat. With much help from a spectacular stage crew, the play bowled over audi- ences and picked them up again. The “Greasers” from MBA were for the most part neophytes to the stage. These included John Heer, Mack Brothers, Steve Maler, Bobby Morales, and David Wood. These five people plus old pros Rob Sommer and Seth Sharpe threw the energy levels above measure. The females of the play were excellent in their portrayal of their respective roles. The female lead was played by an import from Madison High, Rhonda Dorton. St. Cecilia threw in their candidate for the performance with Karen Burns. The girls from Harpeth Hall proved that they reign along with everyone else. Jennifer Draper, Ann Shoulders, Cathy Fairbairn, Candy Bo- gie and — yes — even Laura Watson are the members of this semi-elite troupe. The crowning glory of the play was provided by Don Fisher and Nancye Thom- as, both of whom are faculty members at MBA. Un- der the direction of MBA alumnus Rick Seay and the art designing of Jim Poston, the MBA Players’ top man, “Grease” slid to the top of theatrical endeav- ors of the year. Grease was the word. 207 ARCHIVES This year, the literary magazine of Montgomery Bell Academy took on a new look as well as a new name, AR- CHIVES. The staff, consisting of: George Bueno — Editor, Ewan Les- lie — art and photography editor, John Dalton — layout, and Mrs. Hightower — advisor, worked hard all year to put together a publication re- presentative of the entire student body. Thanks to the help and advice of Mr. Buddy Francis and Mrs. Jenni- fer Nundberg of Francis and Lushey Co., ARCHIVES, with its combination of prose, poetry, art, and photogra- phy, took on a very professional look. Since the literary magazine is the only real creative outlet for students. Archives holds an important position in the school, and the staff feels AR- CHIVES is starting a new tradition of excellence in art and literature at MBA. (L to R) George Bueno, John Dalton, Ewan Leslie, Ted Carver MBA Exams: Two Seniors Inducted in Totomoi Do They Count Too Much ? By MARK OLDHAM Recently on the Hill, there seems to have been a significant amount tf complaint about the MBA ex- amination polic) . The greater part of this complaint has been voiced by the student bod with the most common grievance being that ex- ams n)unt t(«� much of one’s semester average. It is true that much ol this dissatifaction is a natural jvredeccssor to midterm exams, however, the students ma also have some valid points in their argument. As Thv Bril Binurr feels that this issue is one ol importance, especially to the students. The Bril Bhifirr decided to confn� nt the topic to various facultv and ad- ministrative menjbers. Mr. Drake, American Historv teacher and Assistant Headmaster, was the first pers« n adilressed. When asked how he lelt ab(� ut ex- ams counting one third ol the stu- dent’s semester averagi-. Drake said that he didn’t want to be noiieomit- tul. but realiv had no strong livl- ings on the matter. He did however say. As a teacher. I do like a time period vvluTe mv students have t(� put evervthing together. That ob- v iouslv ought to count a substantial amount. When asked how he fell about an alternative to the present one third policy, Drake remurkKi . Logicallv.

Mr. Bondurant’s final justification for this poliev is c ' ol- lege nreparation.

Groundbreaking for Gym Expansion Set for March 10 By GREG .MOORE On March 10. the grounjjbreak- ing c ' eremony will be held for the gymnasium exteasion. The new gym facilities are the third pha.se of MBA’s coastruction plans, follovx’- ing the construction of the Massey Building, and the sports complex. The administration plans to Invite to this historic occasion all | erson.s who have contributed to the school’s endowment campaign, which has already netted 7.1 million dollars of the goal of 7.5 million since being announctxl last year. Acxxirding to Mr. Bondurant. the occasion is a ceremonial groundbreaking and a thank you to our donors, with actual construc- tion not beginning for several months. The ceremony is .schedul- ed to be held behind the gym- nasium with Board Chairman J(K‘ Davis and Campaign Chairman Dewitt Thompson 1 ' schixlulixl t i speak, h’ollovving the ceremonv . a rixx’ption will Ik held in the gvni lor all guests of the schiM)!.

A wall will separate the existing gynmasium Irom the ex- teaslon with the exit d(Mirs on the east side of Currey gymnasium serving as an entrance to the upiHT level. The upjx r level will contain a lobby with restroom facilities and a concession stand, two coaches’ of- fices, and a high .school gym with .seating for 275 people. On the lower level, the current freshman locker room will become a .science lab for AP Biology and AP Chem- istry classes. dn the .southea.st side of the ad- dition. there will be a 43- by 81-fiK)t vvri stling nami tcj replace the current inadequate room. In the middle of the lower level w ' lll be a new locker room to make up for the .space lost to the new AP laboratory, and a 36- by 66-foot weight room will occupy the north- east corner with a legitimate train- ing rbom and laundry room. The whirlpools will be effectively used in the new training room, rather than being used In showers, where they are currently crowding nix d- txl space. Although the project has not yet Inxm designated to a contractor. .Mr. Bondurant says- that a very l(K)se approximation of the total cost is in the area of $900,000 possibly reaching 81.000.000. The new facility should help MBA reach Its goal of excellence both in academics and athletics by pro- viding ntxxled laboratory space for the .students, as well as superior athletic facilities for the athletes. Totomoi was established at MBA in 1954. when Dr. Sager was head- master. The organization was given a constitution ba.scxl on a similar club at .McC’allie callcxJ Keokio. The constitution of Totomoi states several main pur- poses: to promote participation, uphold traditions, further moral development, and recognize outstanding individuals who con- tribute to the sch(K)I. To determine which students rixx’ive the distinguishcxl honor, an elaborate point system is ustxl. Everything the student does at MBA earns points for that student t tvvards induction. Points are ac- cumulatcxl in any of these- five lie-ids: (1) scholarship. (2) athletics, (3) student government. (4) organizations, forensics, and dramatics, and (5) publicatioas and citizensfup. U’hen it c-omes time lor coasider- ati«in of a given cla.vs, each student is examined. Base-d on the- amounts ol points awardexi to a given stu- dent in a given field, the- faculty determines whether that fie-ld is a major field for the student, a minor field l«ir the student, or if the- stu- dent rixx-ives no credit. In order to be eligible for Totom(� i. a senior must have � ne major and thrix- minors, while a junior must have- two majors and one minor. OiKx- eligibility has bex-n deter- minixl. the entire iaculty votes on each eligible member. For the most part, all eligible students are ac- (x-ptixl and later tappixl. On the average, over the course of threx- tappings, a given class will have about six members indiictexl. Aeexirding to .Mr. Drake, this eomplicated process is e-.xex-llent, He anel eurrent members of Totomoi all agrexxl that by nature, thv proexss has to be .selex-tive or the value- of the award decrea.se.s. .Mr. Drake did say that the proe-e-vs at times sex-ms Bm .selex-tive, but he ex- pre-vsexl his approval of the system as it stands, taken In pe-rspex-tive- tfiat it was not designed to rexxignize all outstanding students. The- .selection process has been changed only threx- times in the almost thirty years of Totomoi’s ex- istenex-, but another change- is on its way . This amendment will include activities such as membership in the- outing club, and taking art courses to e- � unt towards member- ship. Aside from minor changes such as this, however, the cx)astitu- tion remains very similar to its original form in terms of goals and e|ualifie-ations. In addition to recognizing students. Totomoi also eiffers nn-mbershii) to friends of MBA, alumni, and faculty. There are presently se-ve-ral members of the- fae-ulty in Totomoi: Mr. Drake. .Mr. Carte-r. .Mrs. I.ovvry. .Mrs. Carriott. .Mrs.- Liles, Mr. Novak, and .Mr. Re-ge-n. .Mr. Re-ge-n is an interesting ex- ample, bee-au.se- he- is n«)t only a faculty member, but also an alum- nus.

Because of his long-time membership in the organization, Mr. Re-gen Is also |n a uniepjc posi- tion to evaluate ' Totomoi and Its ex)ntribution to the schcKil. He said that more than anything.

The assistant headmaster, however, emphasized (Continued on page 2) No Tuition Raise for 1983-1984 By TO.M.MY OLIPHANT In a January meeting, the .MBA Board of Trustees decided that there will be no tuition increase for the 1983-1984 school year. Signifi- cant gifts to MBA’s Endowment Fund and a marked reduction in the rate of inflation were cited as primary causes for the decision. Tuition will remain at $3170 for high school students (grad es 9-12) and $3070 for junior school students (grades 7 and 8). This rate Includes the athletic and activity fees which have been stated sep- arately in the past. A February 4, 1983 letter stated: “Costs have continued to escalate and will do so next year. The Capital and Endowment Campaign, however, is achieving significant success, enabling the school to underwrite through gifts and endowment earnings the dif- ference between your son’s tuition and the actual costs related to his education. MBA ' s endowment creates earn- ings that underwrite approximate- ly $400 of each student ' s tuition. An additional $300 per student is generated by the Endowment per capital purposes including renova- tions, larger maintenance Items, and replacement fund. Thanks mainly to the Tradition of Excellence Campaign, which in- volves Trustees, alumni, parents, and friends, MBA has generated 7.2 million dollars for new an d renovated athletic facilities and school buildings. About four million dollars of this campaign will be placed in the Endowment fund. 1 (L to R) Lyn Robbins, John Dale, Jeff Gaw, Tony Rafolowski, Bryan Hassel, Todd Helm 210 Totomoi On Thursday, May 12, the Spring tapping of Totomoi took place with three members of the Junior Class (Bryan Hassel, Jeff Gaw, and Tony Rafalowski) being inducted into MBA’s honorary fraternity. Totomoi has nearly a thirty year history at MBA. It was started by Dr. Sager in 1954 modeled after a similar organization known as Keokio at McCallie High School in Chattanooga. Every year since then, at least two tappings have been held to recognize students’ exceptional participation in the institution of MBA. An elaborate point system has been set up to measure a student’s participation. To be inducted, a student must earn a certain number of points in three out of the following categories: (1) scholarship, (2) athletics, (3) student government, (4) organizations, foren- sics, and dramatics, and (5) publications and citizenship. In addition, the stu- dent must be approved by the faculty. As of this Spring, members of Totomoi are as follows: juniors Bryan Hassel, Jeff Gaw, and Tony Rafalowski: seniors John Dale, Lyn Robbins, Todd Helm, and Steve Maler; faculty members Mr. Drake, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Lowry, Mrs. Garriott, Mrs. Liles, Mr. Novak, and Mr. Regen. Totomoi has helped to uphold a tradition of excellence at MBA by honoring those who excel in all areas of school life. The Chorus Linder the superb direction of Gerald Arthur with accompanist Marion Ross, the MBA Chorus filled out a very busy schedule and had a very successful year. The annual Christmas tour took its Chorus to area high schools, churches, and civic club meetings, and finally ended with a smashing performance before its most hostile crowd, the MBA assembly. Mr. Arthur rescheduled rehearsals for before school and, as a result, lost a fourth of the chorus due to disinterest. The remaining few good men continued undauntedly and finished with a joint concert with Harpeth Hall during Red and Green week. With unwavering voices, the Chorus shot off for its spring concerts and finally finished with its singing at Graduation. In spite of many poorly attended and lackluster rehearsals, the MBA Chorus finished its 1982-83 year sounding stronger than it had in past years. Big Red Club The 1982-83 Big Red Club once again took on the unenviable task of raising school spirit on the Hill. The button and bumper sticker sales were l ed by President Wade Wilkinson, Vice-president John Dale, Secretary Steve Maler, and historian Mack Brothers. The main project of the Big Red Club was the presentation of the Homecoming queen and her court along with the annual Homecoming dance. Faculty support and advice were given by Dr. Nancye Thomas and Mr. Rick Carter. Commencement Andrew McAllister delivers Valedictorian speech. Commencement is a time for new beginnings, new goals, and for the graduating seniors, a new phase of their lives. It also marks, for the seniors, the end of early-morning demerit halls, late-night themes, high school proms, and for most, organized athletic participation. On May 28, the seniors were honored at the one-hundreth and six- teenth commencement exer- cises of Montgomery Bell Acad- emy for their hard work, dedication, and numerous achievements.

Many thanks to: — John Ryu for all of his time and work — without him there would definitely be no 1983 BELL. — Dr. Crowell for all of his time and advice. — Mr. Bill Benson for giving his time to us in any way. — Mr. Ralph Langreck for the preliminary sketchings of the color pages. — Steve Shankle for an outstanding job as Copy Editor. — Mark Robinson for an outstanding job as Features Editor. — Brad Blevins and Stephen Westermann for a great job selling ads. — Lon Whiteaker for coming and lifting with me on every deadline weekend. — David White for being an excellant teacher. — Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Womack for their Art advice. — And all others who contributed to the 1983 BELL. I can honestly say that I had as much en- thusiasm for the yearbook at the end of the year as I had at the beginning of the year. It has been a pleasure working with all the persons mentioned above as well as all of the others that I have worked with in creating this yearbook. It’s been real. Good luck to Brad and Stephen next year.
