Montgomery Bell Academy - Bell Yearbook (Nashville, TN)

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.
