t 5gsnVt«t � Montgomery Bell Academy • Nashville, Tennessee Co-editors: Jim Hunt Morgan Wills The Bell • 1986 Dedication All I ever expect you to be is perfect — ” These immortal words of Coach Tommy Owen are recognized by every athlete who has played football under him at MBA. Anyone who knows the man also realizes that he means what he says. Coach Owen is a realistic individual, however, and he uses this demanding philosophy to exact the most he can from each player he coaches, as well as each student he teaches. It is this ability which has enabled him to produce consistently successful football teams for MBA in each of the past four decades. Coach Owen is an extremely dedicated man, whose perseverance is indicated by the recording of his two hundredth high school coaching victory just two seasons ago. Although Coach Owen has enjoyed considerable statistical suc- cess in his tenure at MBA, his greatest victories are the positive influences that he has on all those with whom he is associated. The man transcends the title of Coach because he does not merely instruct in terms of football, but of life. Thus, it gives the annual staff great pride and satisfaction to dedicate the 1986 BELL to Coach Tommy Owen. Preface Found within the pages of this year’s BELL is the attempt by the editors to preserve the events and memories of the ’85-’86 school year. We realize that we cannot recreate everyone’s experiences at MBA, but we hope that our interpretation contains some special meaning to you, the people of MBA. Some of the memories are shared by the whole student body: assemblies, dances, theme nights, eighth period study hall, and so on. Other recollections are some- what more personal. It is our intention that this annual be not merely a collection of two dimensional words and pictures, but a tangible representation of your life at MBA. After all, the 1986 BELL was created to preserve your friendships, your accomplishments, your times of happiness, and even your times of sorrow. Although the past school year was, indeed, a very special one for the class of ' 86, it was also very meaningful to the school as a whole. Consequently, we, the editors of the ’85-’86 annual staff take great pride in saying to the people of MBA, For all you do, this BELL’S for you.’’ Preface 3 Each year the beautiful canapus of Montgomery Bell Academy provides an ideal learning and growing environment for its stu- dents. Situated atop The Hill, the school rests amid an abun- dance of trees which provide shade for the students wishing to work or relax outside. The Joe C. Davis Memorial Garden, the trophy rooms, and the patio area all provide a viable alternative to study hall or the library as excellent places for study or conversa- tion. The colors of the campus may change with the seasons, but the traditions embodied in the buildings of MBA and the can- nons on the lawn continuously challenge the students to uphold the spirit of excellence. Introduction 5 One thing that distinguishes Montgomery Bell Academy from other preparatory schools is the rigorous curriculum which it offers its students. On The Hill, each young man is challenged to attain a standard of academic excellence. From the infamous theme nights to daily pop quizzes, the students find that hard work develops the necessary skills for college and, yes, even life. As a result MBA students realize the importance of hard work to improve them- selves. 6 Introduction ) The most remarkable aspect of MBA is not its curriculum or facilities, but the people. The teachers and students are the atmosphere of MBA; they make it much more than just a school. Whether into sports, drama, academics, or debate, any MBA student can always find someone, teacher or fellow student, with the same interests. More importantly, he can find someone with whom he can argue, discuss, talk, or laugh. As a result of this diversity, the people at MBA challenge each other to grow, and the friendships that they form are lasting. Although MBA is special in many ways, the people are what make up the heart of the school. Introduction 9 10 Introduction The philosophy of Montgomery Bell Academy provides for not only a strong scholastic foundation but also a solid athletic conditioning. MBA offers to its students an ex- cellent athletic program ranging from intramural activities to varsity competition. The varsity teams of the 1985-86 schoo l year experienced tremendous success and helped to re-establish MBA’s prestigious reputation for athletic ex- cellence. As the students have discovered, especially this year, winning is fun. More importantly, however, the ath- letes have learned the importance of teamwork and dedi- cation in achieving success on the playing field. During the 1985-1986 year, school spirit was rejuvenated tre- mendously thanks to the outstanding performances of the Big Red athletic teams. In football season, fans poured in to support their district 11-AAA champions. As basketball sea- son rolled around, fans, under the leadership of the senior class, brought the fun back into high school basketball by giving new meaning to the term “Hostile Crowd” and by showing off the new Pep Band. Wrestlers finally got the recognition that they so deserve, and spring saw the Right Field Rowdies return, as boisterous as ever. All in all, this year was great for MBA spirit, and if one listens very closely, he can still hear the deafening Pep Rally roars of Roll Red Roll!” While MBA presents strong academic challenges to its stu- dents, the importance of relaxation and fun are not forgotten. Across the campus there are many places for students to kick back and enjoy themselves. The privilege to use such facili- ties as the History Room or the Roberts Room is given as a reward for high academic achievement. For those feeling a little more active, the patio and lawn are more popular and more suitable rec” areas. Nevertheless, where and how the students tend to unwind is not as important as the peace of mind they get by temporarily escaping the pressures of schoolwork. 14 Introduction Administration 18 Classes 30 ■ Sports 142 Life 192 CONTENTS 1 11 1 Organizations 216 Conclusion 232 1 Advertisements 240 Administration Mr. Gordon E. Bondurant Headmaster Gordon E. Bondurant came to MBA in 1979 and since his arrival has worked to maintain and improve the school’s level of excellence. He has solicited student opinion and conducted a professional opinion survey of parent and student attitudes. In his seven years on the Hill, significant improvements in facilities and programs have been accom- plished. By keeping involved in professional organizations such as the Future Associations of Colleges and Schools, he seeks to insure has sought MBA’s reputation for excellence on a national level. Mr. Bondurant was headmaster at Darlington School in Georgia before coming to MBA. He holds a B.A. from Davidson and an M.A. from U.T. Chattanooga. Mr. Michael Drake Assistant Headmaster Michael Drake, in ad- dition to his administrative duties, also serves as the Senior Class Advisor, an unenviable role in which he must attempt to curb the senior slide’’ and persuade the seniors to send in college applications before the dread- ed deadline. He has traveled to many of the Ivy League schools in order to acquaint them with MBA and its students. Mr. Drake also teaches a demanding but popular AP Ameri- can History course and is a sponsor for this year’s trip to Italy. His great support of and popularity among the students is evident as he fulfills his duties in and around his office. He is a graudate of the University of Virginia and of George Peabody College for Teach- ers. Dr. Edward Gaffney As Head of the Junior School, Dr. Edward Gaffney provides valuable leadership and discipline necessary for the growth of the MBA student. His presence is also felt in the High School where he teaches all levels of Latin from first year to Advanced Placement. Dr. Gaffney is also a sponsor for this year’s trip to Italy. He received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University. Dr. Harold Crowell Dr. Harold Crowell, Dean of Faculty and Students, is a very busy man at MBA. He is the Annual Advisor, the Junior Class Advisor, and Chairman of the Science Department. Dr. Crowell also teaches all the Physics classes. He is a demanding but enjoyable teacher who is able to relate to the students on a personal and humorous basis. Although at times he is a strict disciplinarian, his intolerance for improper behavior represents his desire to uphold the reputation of MBA. Dr. Crowell received his B.S. from Louisiana Polytechnic Institute and his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt. Mr. Laird Smith, Jr. As Director of Buildings and Grounds, Mr. Laird Smith, Jr. is one of the more visible faculty members of MBA. His pride in and dedication to the school provides MBA with a very efficient yet beautiful campus. On any given day, Mr. Smith can be seen at such tasks as raking leaves outside Carter Hall or directing needed construction. When he is not working to maintain the beauty of the MBA campus, Mr. Smith, an MBA graduate himself, can often be talking with the students about school-related problems. Mr. Smith is a graduate of Vanderbilt University. Mr. James A. Poston Mr. James A. Poston, MBA’s Guidance Director, plays a most important role in the lives of the students. His personal concern for the well-being of the individual makes him easy to talk to, and his flexible work schedule leaves him available for a student at all times during the day. He is presently spearheading a new alcohol and drug awareness program. Mr. Poston is also the demerit supervisor for the senior class and teaches a reading class. Each year he directs the drama presentation from MBA. In addition to these duties, he is the coach of the tennis team. Mr. Poston received his M.A. from George Peabody College. Mr. John R. Bennett Mr. John Bennett continues to be a valuable member of the MBA faculty. Besides teaching Algebra and Geometry, he serves as the Director of Athletics. Mr. Bennett coaches various levels of basketball and is the head coach of Varsity Baseball. Aside from athletics, he sponsors the Service Club and SADD. His involvement in the area of drug and alcohol abuse has continued to be an inspiration to the entire MBA community. Mr. Bennett received a B.E. from Vanderbilt University. Mr. H. Edmunds White Having served as the Dean of Admissions at Davidson College and the Director of Athletics at Southwestern, Mr. H. Edmunds White brought fulltime college counselling to MBA when he joined the staff two years ago. He continues to emphasize to the student and their parents the need for early college planning. Mr. White keeps constant watch on the juniors and seniors, all of which he advises, to assist each student in getting into the college that is the best for him. Mr. White received his B.A. from Davidson and his M.A. from the University of South Carolina. Office Staff The office staff is a very integral part of MBA. Mrs. Pat”’ the senior member of the staff, serves as the Business and Office Manager and Bookkeeper, while Mrs. Garriott performs the secretarial duties for Mr. Bondurant and Mr. Drake. Probably the most visible member of the office staff, Mrs. Bradshaw answers the phone and assists students, teachers, parents, and visitors alike in her role as receptionist. Additional assistance to these ladies in their bookkeeping and secretarial work is rendered by Mrs. Kelton. The final member of the office staff, Mrs. Morrissey, serves as the secretary of the Junior School. Overall, the individual functions of the office staff members may be forgotten, but their ability to go beyond the call of duty to assist a student in need is what makes us appreciate them.

With the aid of Mrs. Napier, secretary to the Development Office, Dr. Whiteman has developed many new and exciting long term plans for fundraising. Among some of the specific plans are to create a new alumni directory of all living alumni and to publish an alumni magazine. There will also be an effort to bring young alumni back together soon after graduation to retain their ties with MBA. The com- munication with the young alumni is likely to be spear- headed each year by one or two graduates who will serve as class alumni agents. Overall, this new program should provide many new opportunities for alumni to stay in touch with MBA as well as a new vehicle for fund-raising on a long-term scale.

Massey The history of The Board of Trustees is closely linked with the history of MBA itself. When MBA was still Cumberland College, some outstanding trustees were Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrewjohnson. Later, Board member Dempsey Weaver invested the money left by Montgomery Bell and used it to open Montgomery Bell Academy. During the late 1880’s, The Trustees refused to al- low MBA to be taken over by the larger Peabody College. In 1911, Board member Judge Robert Ewing brought Mr. Issac Ball to MBA as the new Headmaster. Under Ball’s guidance. The Board arranged for the purchase of a thirty-two acre home to provide for future expansion. After the disastrous fire of 1925, The Board of Trust, under President Mr. John Sloan, embarked on a rebuilding pro- gram, which saw the completion of the Brownlee O. Currey Gymnasium and the renovation of Wallace Hall. Other trustee gifts or trustee-aided buildings include The Patrick Wilson Library and a Fine Arts Building. Even today The Montgomery Bell Academy Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall policies of the school, and the 1985-1986 year has been a particularly busy one for them. The primary responsibility of the Board of Trustees is to insure the financial strength of the institution. Therefore, the Trustees and the Headmaster developed the school budget and set a sound investment policy for the school’s endowment. As a result, in the 1985-86 academic year, approximately $800 of each student’s costs were borne by the school’s endowment. This is made possible by Trustee gifts and investments. Recently, the Trustees approved the employment of a Director of Development and Alumni Affairs. This department will permit the school to communicate more frequently with alumni. Therefore, an annual giving program has been approved and will be initiated in 1986-1987. As far as the appropriation of specific funds goes, the Trustees approved the expenditure of funds for many improvements, including the impressive new lights on the front of the Ball Building. Finally, the Trustees are responsible for the school’s long-range planning and have initiated a process to plan for the future of the school.

With seven starters returning on offense and five starters return- ing on defense from a 9-2 team, the outlook for the 1985 season was very bright and encouraging. Both The Nashville Banner and the district coaches picked the Big Red to win the district title under the guidance of Coach Owen and Assistant Coaches Re- gen, Elliot, and Elliott, and the leadership of Captain Robby Bueno, Alternate Captain Takis Patikas, and 21 other seniors, the team fulfilled the prediction, finishing with a record of ten wins and two losses. After losing in the second week of the season, the team displayed great character by overcoming the pressure of having to win all its remaining games to earn a playoff birth. After four weeks of summer practice in surprisingly mild weath- er, the hungry Big Red traveled to Tullahoma and defeated a perennially strong midstate team 17-0. Playing on Tullahoma’s immaculate field, the MBA offense and defense controlled the game. Will Meyer led the offense with a 25 yard touchdown run, and Takis Patikas scored following an interception by Chip Fridrich. MBA opened up its home season with a very disappointing loss to Antioch 0-7. The defense fought hard, led by noseguard Robby Bueno, but the offense floundered throughout the whole game. Patikas leads the offense against the Bobcats. MBA bounced back after the Antioch loss to trounce the Beech Buccaneers. Talbot Masten led the offensive attack with two touchdowns and 133 yards rushing. The offensive line, consisting of Morgan Wills, Robby Bueno, Jim Hunt, Jay Owen, and Temp Sullivan, played well while the defensive team also played well led by tackle Hudson Walker and linebackers Ken” Russell and Trey Spence. In the fourth game, the Big Red sought revenge over the Hill- wood Toppers who shocked MBA last year. Will Meyer led the offense with 137 yards and one touchdown as the Red won 14-0. The defense, led by John Jenkins, began its streak of holding teams scoreless. The only injury of the game was Gantt Bum- stead’s papercut from falling through the cheerleaders’ sign. MBA returned home to play Dickson County in a hard-fought battle with another midstate power. Quarterback Takis Patikas led the Big Red with a good passing game, completing a great touchdown pass to Brad Fuson. The defense, led by the line who shut down the Cougars’ offense, guided the team to a 13-0 win. In the sixth game of the season, the MBA offense came alive while the defense continued to shut out opponents as MBA walloped the Firebirds of Pearl-Cohn at a darkened Sykes Field, 42-0. Tailback Will Meyer led the offense and linebacker Kenny Russell anchored the stingy defense for this victory. 146 Varsity Football Meyer turns upfield. The best D” in the city lays another goose egg. The Big Red visited the Colts of Glencliff the following week and again soundly defeated the home team 28-0. The offense was sparked by Nick Sieveking’s touchdown, while safety Dave Ma- lone led the strong defense. MBA returned home for a Homecoming romp of the Hillsboro Burros, 54-0. Wingback Lee Vaughn and reserve quarterback Tommy Frist led the offense on a night filled with many great plays. Todd Bottorff led the defense with a blocked punt and good noseguard play. ' The granddaddy of the NIL”, the MBA-Ryan clash, turned out to be a hard-fought game in the old style. The Big Red scored its two touchdowns in the first half. John Jenkins scored on a 64 yard touchdown run and 190 yards rushing. The defense was led by noseguard Robby Bueno who had a game-saving fumble recovery when Ryan was deep in Red territory late in the 4th quarter to rap up the 14-7 victory. Malone pounds Malone. Varsity Football 147 MBA visited Overton for the final game of the regular season and for the district championship. Overton fumbled on its first posses- sion, and John Griffith recovered the ball. John Jenkins then scored behind the good blocking of the offensive line to put the Red on top 7-0. Later Rob Elliot returned an interception for a touchdown, and Takis Patikas scored on a one yard plunge to make the score 21-0. MBA’s defense held powerful Overton scoreless, and the Big Red proudly brought the district crown home for the first time in six years. MBA played the first round playoff game at home, and the offense played well in the 24-21 victory. Takis Patikas hit Chip Fridrich for the final touchdown in the last seconds, while the defense, giving up as many points in this game as they did all season, held on for the victory. The Big Red lost its second game in the second round of the playoffs to Gallatin, 3-6. Jeff Owen kicked a field goal as the offense had trouble scoring after Patikas was injured. The defense fought hard but gave up a touchdown in the second half. The Big Red ended the season with ten wins and two losses. Friday nights in the fall were indeed special for the MBA communi- ty. Students, teachers, parents, and friends rallied together to support the Big Red football team. This year’s team raised school spirit and school pride to a level which has been absent from the Hill for some time. As a result of the outstanding effort of the coaches and players, MBA football returned to where it belongs: at the top. Masten plows for yardage.

Hamling, K. Gilliland, J. Boone, R. Speight, E. Bueno The 1985 J.V. football team enjoyed a perfect season this year, posting an impressive 4-0 mark. The Big Red gained this level of excellence by defeating McGavock, Father Ryan, Dickson County, and Overton. Some of the highlights of the season included Coach Regen’s introduc- tion of MBA’s version of the ’’Utah pan” against McGavock, shut-out defensive performances against traditional powers Ryan and Overton, and the brilliant execution of the option by Tommy Frist and Jay Stroman in the Dickson County game. During the season, running back duties were handled by Clay Trabue, Trajan Carney, and Marc Smith, while Matt Kneeland, Steven Hooper, Emmett Russell, Jeff Owen, and Demetri Patikas made up the receiving corps. The members of the ever- important line included such powerhouses as Brennon Fitzpatrick, Gantt Bumstead, Tim Hamling, John Boone, Skip Burke, Andrew Bond, Wendell Harmer, Trey Everett, and David Fredericksen. The linebackers and defensive backs included Edgar Bueno, Bob Napier, Michael McNally, Bobby Whitson, Brad Reese, and David Spickard. Thanks to the patience of Coach Regen, Coach M. Elliott, and Coach F. Elliott, this team had a very rewarding season and is looking forward to contributing to the varsity team next fall. Freshman Football Row 1: G. Downer, C. Hall, R. Gann,J.

Seshul, J. Smithwick, J. Russell, B. Healy, S. Lewis This past year, the freshman football team completed a suc- cessful season by compiling a 4-3 record. These twenty-three young men began their quest to defend last year’s district championship by travelling to Apollo Junior High. Freshman linebacker Kelsey Fitzpatrick’s leaping interception and re- turn for a touchdown proved to be the game-winner. The freshman football team then travelled to take on the Bobcats from Overton; however, too many turnovers deep in Big Red territory during the first half led to a 17-10 loss for the Frosh. The freshmen’s inability to put together a consistent first half led to a 14-2 loss against the Maplewood Panthers, who scored all of their fourteen points during the first half. The Frosh finally returned home with a 1-2 record for a real character test against a tough Hillsboro team. The defense, led by Bo Healy, Worchester Bryan, Rabin Nimmo and Chris Hall, succeeded in holding the Burros scoreless while the offense mounted a drive climaxed by a 35-yard touchdown pass from Drew Robinson to John Smithwick. This pass proved to be all the Frosh needed to even their record at 2-2 with a 6-0 victory. Backed by the scoring of John Smithwick, James Gooch, Billy Frist and Rabin Nimmo, the team was successful in routing Hillwood 34-0. The defense proved to all that it was an important factor in the Big Red’s success. The Frosh then faced a tough Glencliff team. Supported by the impressive offense of Drew Robinson, Worchester Bryan, Billy Frist, James Gooch and John Smithwick, the Frosh held on for a 19- 12 victory. With their 4-2 record, the team then faced arch- rival Father Ryan. After being moved from M.B.A. to Van- derbilt Stadium because of inclement weather, the game was dominated by the defense of both teams. The M.B.A. offense was unable to get any drive started, while the Irish put the only points on the board, scoring a touchdown on a long pass. The game ended with a disappointing 7-0 loss for the Big Red. Throughout the season, the Frosh improved every game as the result of hard work as well as the excellent coaching job of Mr. Moore, Mr. Compton, and Mr. Henderson.

Steele Under the leadership of Coach Forrester, the microbe football team completed a successful season with a record of 3-3. Throughout the year, the Microbes’ strong running game led the team. The leader- ship of Billy Crawford at quarterback, Dan Brooks at fullback, and David Trainer at tailback propelled the Little Red to its three wins. After a slow start with losses to Ezell-Harding and B.G.A., the offense exploded with a 22-0 victory over neighborhood rival Ens- worth. The running game unleashed itself behind the blocking of Steve Anderson, Stuart Towery, Richard Cummins, and Kurt Kalu- dis. In the next two games, the offense continued to improve as the Little Red mauled Nashville Christian School 32-6 and shutout F.R.A. 32-0. The defensive line of Andy Graves, Steve Anderson, Stuart Towery, and Chris Vlahos physically dominated their oppo- nents all season as the defense allowed only 31 points the whole year. The highlight of the ’Crobe’s season was a stellar performance against H.V.A.C. powerhouse Northside. Although they were some- what outmanned, the ’Crobes displayed their true aggressiveness and character in a heartbreaking 12-7 loss here on the Hill. Credit must also be given to Daniel Donelson, the placekicker for the microbes, and to Walter Southwood, a fine seventh-grade quarterback. These players along with the rest of the seventh grade team always aided the Little Red in times of need. Already influenced by the superb coaching of Mr. Forrester, Mr. Hopping, Mr. Killian, and Mr. Gaither (who said the team was “flawless”), this group of exper- ienced players will definitely aid future Big Red teams! 154 Microbe Football Cross Country team assembled to begin a hard and hopefully productive season and maybe even have a little fun. The expectations were high because of the fact that after only losing two out of the top five runners, the team w as about to embark on MBA’s hardest cross-coun- try schedule ever. Returning to the team were Pat Bowers, Steve and Jimmy Zibas, Andy Davsf, Jonathan Cole, Jay Knowdes and Tom Hum- phreys. Newcomers included seniors Jim and Will Campbell and freshman Landson Hyde. There were two big questions facing this vear s team: could they maintain the 3 ' year old dual meet win streak and could they avert the dreaded curse of the state meet that has befallen prev’tooiis MBA C.C. teams. mm Varsity Cross i First Row: T.

Jimmy Zibas, Jim Campbell, Davis, and Cole rounded out MBA’s top five. Then Clarksville Northwest rolled into town and handed the team its first dual meet loss in 3 years. The next day the second team went against a tough Franklin team and also faced defeat. Being of strong character, the team rebounded for the Antioch Invit., the biggest and best meet in Tennessee, and placed an incredible second place! MBA beat every Ten- nessee team, finishing behind only a powerhouse from Geor- gia. Steve placed 13th, Jimmy 20th, Jim 49th, Davis 54th, Bowers 63rd. Then, a vivacious team headed into the A.F. Bridges Invit. with hopes of finishing 1st since only Tennessee teams were competing. Unfortunately, Jim Campbell had the dreaded Blackouts” and did not finish. Steve ran a 15:36 and finished 6th, while Jimmy placed 20th, and Davis finished 27th. The team still finished a very respectable 3rd and brought home another trophy. 156 Varsity Cross Country Then the team set off for the mountains of Dickson County and indoor water basketball. The team lost to D.C. by four points, but it was to be the last dual meet loss of the year. Possibly one of the bright spots of the season was the next ’’road trip to the prestigious Lexington Catholic Invitational at the picturesque Kentucky Horse Park. After a wild night in room 229” with girls from Knox, Webb, Shawnee and Sydney, OH. dancing to Shout and Shama Lama Ding Dong, the team decided to go after their third straight invitational trophy which they accom- plished by placing 5th out of some 48 teams. Steve Zibas finished 15th, J. Zibas 31st, Davis 40th, and an almost healthy J. Campbell placed 74th. The trip rejuvenated the team’s spirits and steeled their determination for a state championship. The next big meet was the N.I.L. Championship where disaster struck. The Big Red’s wonderchild Steve Zibas collapsed in front of the finish line, but was still able to finish 17th. J. Zibas was 8th, Andy Davis 10th, Jonathan Cole 24th, and Jay Knowles 23rd. The team finished second to a strong Ryan team. Unfortunately for the Big Red, Jim Campbell ended his final season as a Big Red runner when he developed a stress fracture. The team rebounded, how- ever, and managed to finish first in the regional meet, crushing the Father Ryan team. The Big Red now were in view of their original goal of winning the State meet. All the runners distin- guished themselves well with Steve wonderchild Zibas finish- ing 23rd in a time of 15:42. The Cruisers were able to bring home a trophy from every big meet except the State. Next year, the season looks extremely bright because the top four runners along with the sixth and seventh runners will be returning. Varsity Cross Country 157 Microbe Cross Country Row 1: D.

With almost full participation, co-captains Arthur Red and Casey Jones led the team successfully in five regular meets, one triangu- lar meet, and eventually on to a strong finish, four out of the top five MBA finishers represented the seventh grade. The runners included Casey Jones (having a record time of 9 minutes and 25 seconds for 1.5 mile), Arthur Reid, Cabot Hyde, David Hayes, and Rob Lance, along with Richard Nord, Bobby Gath, Andrew Coulam, Marek Ross, and forty-five others. Although the mi- crobes will lose valuable eighth graders next year, the coaches feel confident that next year they will have strong eighth grade leadership and experience which should make for a powerful microbe cross country team.

The seniors were guards Dave Malone and Todd Pardue, forward Brad Fuson and centers Jay Schmitt and Jay Owen. The rest of the team included juniors Charles Mayes, Jay Stroman, Paul Lentz, and Brad Reed and sophomores David Spickard (Opie), Marc Smith, and Mike Morrissey. This team compiled the best record of any MBA basketball team of the past five years by posting a 16-14 record. The combination of good talent, senior leadership, and good coaching made the season enjoyable for the players and fans alike. Dr. Jay takes it to the hoop. 160 Varsity Basketball Smith scores over Antioch. At the advent of the new season, it was anybody’s guess as to when the football counterparts of the basketball team would be available for action due to the football team’s advancing to the state playoffs. Thus, without seven of the final twelve players, the Big Red journeyed to the lands of 12-AAA to take on Stratford. Under the circumstances, the squad performed very well in an 81-63 loss. Charles Mayes chipped in 22 points, and Jay Schmitt added 19. Nevertheless, optimism for a good season remained intact because at this early point in the season, the football players joined the team. Thus, with 100% of the team, the Big Red marched into league play by facing Glencliff. MBA’s offense showed much promise in scoring 77 points; however, defense was a stumbling block in that the Big Red gave up 102 points. Jay Schmitt led the scoring with 33 points. The team then split its next two games, losing to McGavock and beating rival Hillsboro 67-64. Next, the team took a trip to Chattanooga to play Baylor and McCallie in a Thanksgiving round-robin. In the first game against Baylor, the Big Red came up on the short end of a 67-59 game. The next game, however, saw MBA victorious over McCallie. In this game, the entire team played well.

The team then returned to Nashville to win its next two games over traditional rival BGA and Antioch before losing to Chattan- ooga Hixson. The rest of the season was characterized by short streaks of wins and short streaks of losses. MBA managed to beat such teams as Ryan, Hillwood, Whites Creek, Pearl-Cohn, and East. The highlight of the season without a doubt was the victory over Overton at Overton. In this game, the team played perhaps the best ball it played all season. In the district tournament, the Big Red placed a disappointing 3rd place, beating Antioch and losing to Overton and Ryan. The MBA squad next advanced to the region where Maplewood was the opponent. MBA played well except for a five minute lapse in the third quarter in which Maplewood was able to open the game up. For the year, Jay Schmitt averaged 19 points and 9 rebounds per game. Charles Mayes averaged 16 points and 9 rebounds per game. Jay Stroman and Marc Smith both added close to 8 points a game. With the return of seven of the twelve players next year, the 1986-1987 basketball team should be one of the top teams in the city. 162 Varsity Basketball Schmitt turns to score. % k. 4i.St II M( .101 JV Basketball IM First Row: J.

Owen The 1985-86 junior varsity basketball team, under the direction of first-year head coach and former MBA standout Tom Moore, post- ed and even 8-8 record in an exciting season. The JV season can best be described as having its ups and downs because the team exper- ienced both streaks of victory and streaks of defeat. In the season opener, the Big Red defeated a tough McGavock team, and with this triumph, enthusiasm for an awesome season ran high. The squad, however, dropped its next two games to Hillsboro and BGA. The JV then managed to win its next three games against Antioch, Maplewood, and Father Ryan, boosting the team’s record to 4-2. Christmas break then enveloped the upstart MBA squad, and the return saw MBA lose its next four games before getting back on the track to beat Lipscomb and Antioch. In the thrilling Glencliff game at MBA, the JV team came from 13 points down to tie the game at the end of regulation time. With an anxious varsity team waiting to take the floor, the JV pushed the game on to double overtime before losing 78-75. MBA split its last four games beating Ryan and Pearl- Cohn and losing to Overton and Glencliff for a second time. The leaders of the JV squad were Bob Pate and Tim Hamling while excellent sophomore talent and determination were key in the suc- cess of the team. 164 JV Basketball Freshman Basketball Row 1: D.

The freshman basketball team under the direction of first year head coach Floyd Elliott ended the 1985-86 season with an overall record of 3 ' 12. Despite the somewhat frustrating record, these fifteen young men made significant improvement as the season progressed. The Frosh began their season on a shakey note by losing to Glencliff 43-29. The team went on to lose its next seven games as a result of inconsistent scoring. The record at this point in the season was not at all indicative of how far the team had come since the first day of practice. The Frosh needed a win desperately. The long awaited victory came in a hard-fought win of 33 29 against Overton. After dropping their next two games, the team hit a two game winning streak in which they beat Hillsboro and Father Ryan. The Frosh ended their season and entered the district tournament on this high note. Unfortunately, due to their record, the freshmen were set to play against Glen- cliff in the first round. MBA kept the game close, but the huge Glencliff team proved to be too much toward the end. Solid performances were turned in by starters Chris Hall, Drew Robin- son, Brad Bishop, Mike Seshul, and big man David Locklear. James Gooch, Worchester Bryan, and John Smithwick provided excellent support off the bench. With continued hard work and improvement, these freshmen should be the backbone of the varsity and junior varsity team in the future. Freshman Basketball 165 Microbe Basketball First Row: J.

Ferguson This year’s Microbe Basketball team was unusual in that there were actually more seventh graders than eighth graders on the team. Despite the unusual number of newcomers, the team was able to comprise an impressive 9-5 record. In opening tourna- ment action at Overbrook, the Big Red team took second place honors in a stunning loss at the buzzer. This strong showing was foreshadowing for the upcoming season. Strong eighth grade leadership combined with good talent and excellent coaching led to the Microbes winning all their regular season games except the BGA and the Brentwood games. Hopes were high as the HVAC Tournament approached. Seeded 3rd in the tournament, the Microbes handily defeated FRA before being defeated by BGA in semi-final action. In the consolation game, too many close calls and too many bad breaks led to a season ending loss. Throughout the season, the team improved as a unit, and with the large number of seventh graders on the team, next year’s prospects look extremely bright. 166 Microbe Basketball Varsity Wrestling Front Row: M.

The starters for the season were Chad Enders (105), Jim Campbell (II 9 ), Robert Rollins (126), Paul Soper (132), Tommy Frist (138), Sam Mar- ney (145), Trajan Carney (155), John Jenkins (167), and Frank Downey (185),. With starter Bill Coch- ran benched due to a knee injury, other wrestlers such as Jeff Ryu, Will Campbell, Andy Rosen, Edward Lams, Dave Claunch, and Barney Lams were called upon to help out the team in the larger meets and provide invaluable support. State Champion Soper confronts an opponent. Varsity Wrestling 167 The beginning of the season was disappointing for the team as the Big Red grapplers dropped two straight matches to Hillsboro and Hillwood in early December. The Big Red showed more promise in the BGA Tournament finishing in the top five teams. The Big Red picked up the pace, however, with a victory over Brentwood High and a strong third place finish in a very com- petitive Overton Tournament. In the Overton tourney, Chad Enders took first. Tommy Frist and Trajan Carney took second, and Frank Downey came away with third place honors. The infamous Christmas practices from December 22 to January 2 provided the team a much-needed break from competition. In the first weeks back from Christmas, the Big Red ran into difficulties, losing to teams from Brentwood Academy, Notre Dame, and rival Father Ryan. The next several weeks however, proved that the Christmas practices were not in vain as the Big Red hit a good win streak, beating Dickson County, upsetting Franklin, beating East Ridge and Tyner in Chattanooga while losing to Baylor and Hixson only because of forfeits. MBA carried this momentum into the district tournament. Brentwood Academy, Hillsboro, and Franklin were picked to finish ahead of the Big Red. The MBA grapplers, however, had different plans as the Big Red finished a strong second behind a tough Brentwood Academy team. With the support of a wild Big Red crowd, unseeded Robert Rollins pulled off upset victories to advance to the finals. John Jenkins upset the number one seed in 167, also advancing to the finals. Paul Soper, Tommy Frist, and Chad Enders rounded out the rest of the Big Red wrestlers who were in the finals. Soper and Frist turned in championship performances. Enders, Carney, Jenkins, and Rollins all came in second, and Frank Downey turned in an impressive third place finish. In the Regional Tournament, Soper defeated rival Matt Ligon to capture first place and qualify him for the state tournament. Frist, Rollins, and Jenkins also qualified for the state tournament which was to be held in Chattanooga. These entries into the tournament constituted the largest number of wrestlers to qualify for the State Tourney in recent years. Once again, Paul Soper defeated Matt Ligon of BGA to take the state championship. Jenkins wrestled well and finished fifth at 167, while Tommy Frist made the quarterfinals. Overall, MBA finished 11th in a good showing for first year Coach Luther Killian. With the returning wrestlers and coaches, and the arrival of a strong freshman team, MBA should be one of the top teams in the state next year.

Crawford This year’s microbe wrestling team was no doubt one of the best microbe teams in years. Winning became a habit with these young grapplers as they posted a record of 8-4. Almost all of the losses were results of illnesses and injury. When, however, the team was at 100 percent, their true strength became evident. After the regular season was over, the team entered the prestigious HVAC tournament. MBA finished with 158 points capturing first place and overpowering such perennial powers as Northside, Brentwood Academy, Ensworth, BGA, and FRA. Winning championship spots in this tournament were C.B. Harwell at 75 pounds. Drew Healy at 82 pounds, and George Clements at 107 pounds. In the heavier weight divisions, David Trainer, Billy Lyell, Billy Crawford, and Dan Brooks all claimed 2nd place performances. Recognition must also be given to the rest of the team who constantly pushed the starters in practice: Keith Locke, and Fletcher Potanin. Coach Gaither speaks with great enthusi- asm about the character of his team and looks forward to next season. Microbe Wrestling 171 Freshman Wrestling First Row: C.B. Harwell, D. Healy, L. Carney, W, Shuff, C. Cigarren, G. Clements, M. Bumstead; Second Row: D. Neff, G. Downer, B. Crawford, C. Frist, j. Hayes, A. Patterson; Third Row: P. Dudley, R. Gann, R. Nimmo, B. Lyell, D. Brooks This year, the freshman wrestling team completed an outstanding season, posting a record of 9T. This season was not an easy one for the freshman team, for they only achieved this excellent record through extremely hard work. Starting practice early in October made victories possible over McGavock, Overton, Apollo, Hillwood, Brentwood High, Ryan, and Hillsboro. The freshmen were even successful in Chattanooga, where they de- feated McCallie, a team always in contention for the state title on the varsity level. The team achieved a first place finish in the Ryan Invitational Tournament and a second place finish in the Overton Tournament. In Overton’s tourney, Billy Frist was picked as best wrestler by the coaches. In the McGavock Tournament, the frosh placed third. In the district tournament, the team placed a disap- pointing fourth. Greg Downer was named the best wrestler of this tournament. Even though the team will lose many valuable wrestlers, the future looks bright because of the upcoming mi- crobes who are eager to compete in another successful season. 170 Freshman Wrestling Junior School Basketball Hockey 172 Jr School Basketball Hockey I Row 2. R. Peleaz, D. Malone, M. Smith, J. Stroman, T. Masten, C. Fridrich, J. Griffith, F. Downey, A. Finchum; Row 1: S. Hooper, J. Harwell, J. Owen, B. Reese, S. Burke, ?. Morrissey, R. McNair, M. Williams The 1985-1986 varsity baseball team under the direction of Coach Bennett and leadership of seniors Talbot Masten, Dave Malone, Chip Fridrich, and Rob McNair posted a winning 16-9 record, 14-6 in the district. Along with this winning record came the district 11- AAA tri-championship, which was won in a tourna- ment that will long be remembered as the tournament of ties. The long road to this tourney, however, was difficult for the Big Red. After finishing a disappointing 3-3 in the first part of district play, MBA battled back to win its final eight games and earn a chance to compete in the regional tournament. After finishing the playoffs in a three-way tie several times, the coaches decided to flip a coin to determine which team would advance without question. MBA won this toss and was pitted against McGavock in the first round. Despite a good showing by the entire team, MBA could not hold off the powerful McGavock team. Effigy 174 Varsity Baseball First baseman Talbot Masten provided crucial leadership as well as vital experience in his fifth year on the varsity team. The clean- up slugger roped three home runs in a row at one point in the season. Fireballer Chip Fridrich finished his senior season with a 9-3 record and four homers under his belt. Cheebla’s fired up style of play rubbed off on all the players, and his leadership was key in the Big Red’s season. Rob McNair led the team on offense with a .454 batting average while pitching for a 5-2 record. Steady short-stop Dave Malone provided consistent good play as well as invaluable leadership throughout his final year in an MBA uni- form. The final senior on the team was substitute John Griffith who worked harder than most to improve himself as well as the other members of the team. Other members of the team included juniors Jay Stroman, Bobby Whitson, and Frank Downey. Soph- omores included Mike Morrissey, Marc Smith, Brad Reese, and Jeff Owen. Key substitute players included Skip Burke and Jim Harwell. With the returning players from this year, the varsity team next year should again challenge for the championship.

Ferguson, A. Waddey, T. McDaniel This year’s microbe baseball team, under the leadership of Tom Moore, started the ’86 season with a conv incing win over the Ensworth Tigers; however, the microbe’s first 11-3 loss to BGA seemed to set the pace for the remaining season. In the next game, the team played one of their best games against a powerful Northside team but fell short in a 17-7 loss. The microbes fol- lowed with a 12-6 loss to Ensworth and then another disappointing loss to Northside, 8-1. The Little Red ended the season on a positive note with a 12-10 victory over FRA. Significant contributions to the team were made by pitcher Jay Ferguson and hitters Dee Thompson, Mi- chael Brooks, and Chris Vlahos. The team did have its share of losses and difficulties through- out the season, but out of the 17 players, 13 were seventh graders. Thus, the future of next year’s team looks very bright. 176 Microbe Baseball Swim Team During the winter, twenty-one members of the student body joined together to bring back swimming to the MBA winter athletic agenda. The brave souls who dared to do it underwater converged upon the Nashville Aquatic Center to practice three times a week. After a long series of intense practices, the team decided to test its newly ac- quired aquatic skills in a dual meet season in which Father Ryan, Brentwood, And Murfreesboro-Oakland participat- ed. Throughout the season, the Big Red swimmers were very competitive, and as the season drew to an end, the team competed in the Mid-State conference meet. MBA distinguished the quality of its swimming program by qualifying nine swimmers for the state meet in Knoxville. Out of the nine, only Eric Sundell was able to score points for MBA by placing fourth in both the 200 intermediate and the 100 butterfly. Because of the dedication of this group of athletes, the foundation has been laid for a successful Big Red swimming program in the future. MBA explodes off the blocks. This past November, a small group of young men gathered in the dark basement of the Vanderbilt University Engineering annex building to compete for a position on the MBA rifle team. Of this group, ten students were selected, including John Albrecht, Erik Falk, Brennon Fitzpatrick, Tommy Hayes, Hunt Nichols, Chris Ptomey, John Rawlings, Gil- bert Smith, Temp Sullivan, and last but not least, Fletcher Potanin. In its first match, a prone-sitting match on December 7, the team took home the first place award over tough adversary David Lipscomb. Brennan Fitzpatrick was the top individual shooter, and team captain. Hunt Nichols, was third. In its second match, a four position tournament on Janu- ary 19, the team of Albrecht, Fitzpatrick, Nichols, and Sullivan achieved second place. In it s third and fourth matches of February 8 and March 2, the team again achieved second place in both matches, with Hunt Nichols taking third individual shooter in the last league match of the season. On March 8 and 9, the State Tournament was held, where the MBA team won third behind David Lipscomb and Man- chester. Hunt Nichols shot sixth individual in the state. The MBA Rifle Team is a school tradition which has been quiet, but nonetheless quite successful for many years. With the good performance exhibited by this year’s team, it will hopefully thrive and be- come a much more significant activity on this cam- pus in years to come. Rifle Team Row 1: H. Nichols, E.

Kurtz, S. Boone, R. Willingham, R. Elliott, Coach Bostick The key word for the 1986 varsity soccer season was unlucky. After a 5-0 start, the Big Red fell into a mid-season 0-4-1 slump, during which nothing would go right. The team was unable to capitalize on several very good scoring opportunities, whereas, their opponents were making the most of theirs. With three district games left in the season, the Big Red found themselves in fifth place in the district. Showing incredible character, the Big Red banded together and won all three games, thus vaulting their rank from fifth to second and assuring them of a fourth consecu- tive trip to the state tournament. 178 Varsity Soccer Sprague battles opponent. Despite the strong finish, the luck of the Big Red soon ran dry, and they dropped their first game in the state tournament to visiting Hixson, 3 to 1. Playing in an excellent first half, the Big Red had only one goal to show for their efforts. The Big Red then gave way to the tremendous pressure exerted by Hixson and begrudgingly yielded 3 goals. The game was much closer than the 3 to 1 score might indicate. The Big Red just could not take advantage of several scoring opportunities and suffered a questionable call at the end of the game. Russell dazzles defender. Varsity Soccer 179 Illli Microbe Soccer The 1986 microbe soccer team posted a record of 8-5 in an extremely tough league. The lack of experience combined with the challenging competition contributed equally to the season of struggle. MBA, however, did manage to defeat such traditional powers as Ensworth and Paige. The microbes were composed of many players who constantly improved throughout the season. Brett Stahlman not only excelled at his fullback position, but also went on to play for the JV team. David Lott, Brandon Daniel, and Burr Rutledge were three seventh graders who excelled in each of their individual positions. With the experience that is being gained in these younger levels of competition, the soccer program at MBA is ensured of a strong future. Microbe Soccer 181 Varsity Golf The 1985-86 Varsity Golf season began this fall with a sense of confidence unparalleled in recent years. Having lost only two varsity members, Hal Andrews to graduation and John Teas to defec- tion, the team fielded seven lettermen from the previous year and a strong incoming field of freshmen. The team breezed through District play with a 12-1-1 record. Pat Parker finished the season as Division 11 scoring leader. In prepara- tion for the State Tournament, the team played a tri-meet with Chattanooga Notre Dame and Fa- ther Ryan at the beautiful McCabe Golf Course. The team finished the year as Western Division Champs and entered the District Championship as heavy favorites. The team, consisting of Pat Parker, Micheal Shears, Harris Gilbert, and Carter Brothers, breezed to victory with a 308 team total. Micheal Shears defeated teammate Pat Parker for low medalist honors in a playoff after both players shot an excellent 73. 182 Varsity Golf Carter Brothers captured 3rd medalist honors with a 77 and Harris Gilbert was 4th medalist with a 78. In the region tournament, MBA was victorious once again as Michael Shears paced the team with an even par round of 71. For the fifth time in six years, the MBA golf team ad- vanced to the state tournament at Henry Horton state park. After a mediocre first day round of 316, the team found itself 11 shots out of first place and currently occupying fifth place. The second day brought two rain-delays. A strong charge from MBA formed in the early hours of play as Carter, Harris, and Pat turned in the front nine at a total 5 over par. A rain delay of an hour and a half ended MBA’s hopes as inept officials were unable to get all the groups through the front nine. As the rain continued, the officials disallowed the second day scores and accepted the first round as final. Varsity Golf 183 Varsity Tennis Row 1; S. Price, B. Henderson, F. Drowota, B. Cherry, B. Wilson; Row 2: A. Henderson, C. Blaufuss, F. Wilt, S. Mason, V. Sahota The 1985-86 varsity tennis team did not know what to expect from the upcoming season as the new season approached. This year’s team was young, yet it had much more talent than teams of recent years. The top four players were a fresh- man, a sophomore, a junior, and a senior. In order, the top six were Bill Cherry (9th), Flemming Wilt (llth), Arthur Henderson (lOth), Vivek Sahota (l2th). Chip Blaufuss (llth), and Sterling Price (lOth). This team shows much promise for the future, losing only senior Vivek Sahota. 184 Varsity Tennis The team started out the season with a 15-0 defeat of Dickson County, followed by a 10-0 victory over Cookeville, a 9-0 defeat of Brentwood High, a default over Pearl-Cohn, and a 9-0 defeat of Hume-Fogg. Obviously, the team was off to an excellent start. Then, the team faced its first real test: a trip to Memphis to play the defending state champion MUS Owls and a strong German- town team. The first match pitted the Big Red against German- town. In the match, the Big Red players were unable to play to their potential, and consequently, the Big Red lost its first match of the year. Still in Memphis, MBA next faced MUS. This match saw the Big Red lose 9-0. Having been brought back to reality, MBA returned to Nashville where the team notched victories over Hillwood, Beech High, Brentwood Academy, and McGa- vock. Next came the second road trip for the Big Red. This time, the team travelled to Paducah, Kentucky. Due to a cancellation by one team, the Big Red were left with one match against Lone Oak High School. After defeating Lone Oak, the team returned home to defeat USN, Father Ryan, and Brentwood High. The next event on the agenda was another trip this time to Chattan- ooga to play McCallie and to play in the Rotary Tournament. The match against McCallie proved to be intense, but the MBA team was not able to thwart defeat, losing in a tough 5-4 decision. The team then entered the Rotary Tournament in hopes of improving on the previous year’s 5th place finish. At the end of the two day spectacular, the Big Red placed a very respectable 3rd place. The team then returned to Nashville to compete in the District, Region, and State tournaments. The team won the district region titles and finished second in the state, with Bill Cherry claiming an individual championship. Varsity Tennis 185 Microbe Tennis Microbe Tennis 187 Row 1: L. Thomas, N. Sewell. C. McNabb, F. Bass, T. Foust; Row 2; R. Cummings, D. Donelson, J. King, S. Belote, A. Coulam, E. Simmons The 1985-1986 microbe tennis team had an out- standing season, compiling a record of 5-1. The single loss came from an extremely talented Bay- lor team. Nevertheless, the team outplayed all area teams with the exception of a close game with Brentwood Academy. The top five players for the Big Red were Leighton Thomas, Nate Sewell, Carter McNabb, Sharpe Belote, and An- drew Coulam. Despite the apparent talent of the team, all players involved chalked up a good deal of playing time and improved a great deal. With the return of several key seventh graders, the 1987 microbe tennis team should again be pow- erful. Varsity Track I Row 1: C. Trabue, J. Pickel, B. Carothers, N. Wasubev, S. Parker, J.

McNally The 1986 varsity track team again had a successful dual and tri meet season, the Big Red tracksters had a 7T record, losing only to the Overton Bobcats. The first of the large invitational meets was the Charksville Rotary Relays. The Big Red placed a strong second with fine performances by the middle distance and sprint medleys, both setting meet records. Gavin Moon had the meet’s longest jump, and Pat Bowers performed well in the 1600 meter run, placing third. Harvard Reynolds’ overall meet performance was rewarded by being named most valuable runner of the meet. The MBA speedsters next roadtripped it to the Mid-South Track Classic at McCallie where they placed 4th out of 13 teams. Here, Pat Bowers placed 4th in the mile; the 3200 meter relay composed of Jim Gardner, Andy Davis, Travis Jackson, and Harvard Reyn- olds placed 2nd; and Todd Cassetty placed in the Optimist Relays at Overton. MBA placed 8 out of 27 teams from through- out the Mid-State area. Gavin Moon broke the school record in the long jump with a jump of 22 feet. The 3200 meter relay team placed 3rd; Robert Michael Reed placed 2nd in the shot put; and the mile relay team composed of Gavin Moon, Todd Cassetty, Brennon Martin, and Harvard Reynolds placed 5th. Varsity Track 189 The following week, the Big Red competed in the Banner Relays at McGavock placing 5th out of 18 teams. MBA’s field events dominated the meet as Will Meyer won 1st in the pole vault; John Jenkins placed 2nd in the discus; Robert Reed placed 3rd in the shot put; Gavin Moon placed 3rd in the long jump and 5th in the 100 meter dash. The Regional Meet was the next challenge for the MBA speedsters. Superior performances came from the 3200 meter relay team, 1600 relay team (Moon, Martin, Barrett, Reyn- olds), Davis and Jackson in the 800, Martin in the 400, Gooch and Hyde in the 1600, and Bowers and Humphreys in the 3200. Moon captured the school record in the 100 dash with a time of 11.1 seconds and tied the school record in the 200 at 22.6 seconds. In the field events department. Moon placed 4th in the long jump; Meyer, 5th in the pole vault; Jay Owen and Reed, 3rd and 5th respectively in the shot put; Jenkins won 3rd in the discus. This year’s track team had a successful season in 1986 and with continued work, hopes to have a better year in ’87. % Above: Reed hurls one. Above right: Moon soars. Right: David kicks it in.

Seshul, B. Healy, S. Lewis The 1986 track season was exceptionally successful for the fresh- man, beginning with overwhelming defeats of Hillwood and East. The combined score of Hillwood and East was less than that of MBA. Although the freshman team showed significant improvement over spring break, they were defeated by a tough Hawkins team. Since the loss was mostly the result of lack of polish, the problems were solved by hard work, effort, and motivation. MBA then returned to defeat traditional power Overton in a close meet. The Overton meet saw another signifi- cant improvement in the team in 10 of 14 events, with Billy Frist cutting a full second off his 110 meter hurdles time. Bo Healy showed dramatic improvement in the 800 shaving 8 seconds off his best time. The next week, the Big Red defeated a powerful Franklin team, again with marked improvement in several events. The next meet saw MBA trounce Apollo in a 85-34 victory. James Gooch improved his high jump mark four inches, and Rabin Nimmo threw the discus 133 feet without scratching. In the Olympic Trophy Invitational, the city championship meet, MBA finished second in a field of 11 teams with a score of 82.5 behind Whites Creek’s 115.5. The freshman showed significant improve- ment in every meet, and this improvement was the key to a successful season. The willingness to work on the part of each person shows in the improvement of individual performances from week to week. All in all. Coach Compton summed it up with the comment: ’They were good, real good!” 190 Freshman Track Microbe Track (I Row 1: B. Garth, A. Reid, P. Harkleroad, L. Carney, K. McCarty, R. Nord, A. Duthie, C.

The four triangu- lar meets were mainly used for perfecting techniques and finding proper positions for the runners. The season culminated on May 2 at Brent- wood Academy where the HVAC Relays were held. Overall, MBA placed fourth. The team did an outstanding job despite having a limited number of participants. In the field events, Dan Brooks placed second in the discus and third in the shot put while teammate Tate McDaniel placed first in the long jump. Jay Carlisle placed third in the high jump and third in the hurdles. In the mile, seventh grader Casey Jones placed fourth. The microbe’s relay teams also proved to be successful. The team of Keith McCarty, George Clements, Dan Brooks, and Billy Lyell placed fourth in the 440 relay, placing third in the 880 relay were George Clements, Jay Carisle, Dan Brooks, and Billy Lyell. Finally, the mile relay team composed of Arthur Reid, George Clements, Dan Brooks, and Billy Lyell placed third. The strong seventh grade support is guaran- teed to carry over into 1987 when a successful year looks promising. Microbe Track 191 ' What? Clint parked in a faculty parking space; the misty morn stand shadowless like silence, listening to I saw old autumn in silence.” Our apologies to Thomas Hood, but autumn at MBA was anything but silent. Amid the shouts of outdoor activities and Friday night football contests, the new school year began with a bang, indicating yet another exciting school year. 196 Fall Ah hah! Dodge, thrust, parry, turn . . . A .iuw pep rally. One of these students is not like the others . . . These guys put the pep into the Fall 197 Homecoming On October 8th, Homecoming 1985 began with the 41st annual Spaghetti Supper. The traditional supper marked the beginning of the Homecoming festivities. The success of the Spaghetti Supper can be attributed to the efforts of the Mother’s Auxiliary, under Committee Chairwoman Mrs. Sherri Chilton. Forty-nine committee chairwomen directed all phases of the operation, from getting students to sell tickets to inviting the freshmen waitresses from area schools such as Harpeth Hall or St. Cecilia. The famous spaghetti-salad-bread combination dinner ran smoothly, as over 2,500 people flooded Brownlee O. Curry gym- nasium. The Mother’s Auxiliary also supervised the alumni din- ner held for the second year in the small gym. The dinner honored the classes of I960 and 1975 and gave former classmates a chance to reminisce. Following the Spaghetti Supper, the MBA Big Red played Hills- boro in the Homecoming football game. The Big Red delighted the huge crowd with a 54-0 rout. At halftime, the crowd was treated to the presentation of Homecoming Queen Kristen Kirby and her court of Elizabeth Cotton, Corinne Frist, Christina Varallo, Christie Holbrook, and Carter Murray. Also during half- time, Mr. Bondurant announced the winners of the raffle. Former student and teacher Mr. Rick Carter took home the $1000 cash prize. 198 Homecoming Dances An abortive attempt was made by the Big Red Club at Santa Jam on December 20, the day school was dismissed for Christmas holidays. The dance yielded a total of four people on the dance floor, hardly a quorum for keeping the band on stage, even though the preceding basketball game had, as usual, brought many people to Brownlee O. Currey Gymnasium. Although long on quantity overall, the dances provided quality entertainment for those who wished to come. Dances 199 All of this year’s dances were sponsored by the Big Red Club and the Student Council. The first dance was on Friday, September 27, after the Big Red beat mid-state power Dickson County. The dance featured music from The Fabulous Penguins, whose ranks include M.B.A. grad Clay Lutz and senior David Wood. This Student Council sponsored event brought out a heavy turnout from the game and provided a good party for the victory celebra- tion. The Big Red Club sponsored its annual Homecoming Dance on October 19. This year, as in years past, the dance was a great success. Music was provided by the Unitz, a band patterned after the sound of Nashville favorites the White Animals. The dance was an opportunity for some recent alums to come back to the Hill, and also served as a fitting end to the Homecoming week- end. Winter The Ball Building Boxer Co. took the campus by storm. Aha! I ' m a bug! 200 Winter ' Oh wind, If winter comes can spring be far behind? We would like to thank Percy Bysshe Shelly for this reminder that kept the students going during the winter season. Although the season was not the harshest ever, it did herald two irregularities; a white Christmas and a snow day at MBA. Winter 201 The Fantasticks El Gallo (Don Fish) delivers a dramatic monologue. Although MBA is not known for its dramatic endeavors, it nevertheless occasionally surprises Nashville with an out- standing production. In 1984, the MBA Players pleased audiences with their version of Godspell”. This year, under the direction of Mr. James Poston, they continued their standards of performance by presenting The Fantas- ticks . The cast included Don Fish, Michael Starr, two long-time veterans of the MBA stage, as well as Merritt Seshul, Christopher Ptomey,Jim Hunt, Jeff Frace, and Rob Stack. The only female role was played by freshman Jenni- fer Debs of Overton. The play was a success despite less than overwhelming attendance, and as one audience mem- ber commented: It was an enjoyable evening. Mr. Poston adds the finishing touches. 204 The Fantasticks Assemblies Millertinie ' Hey, wait a minute. That little guy looks like Mr. Drake! ' Travis Jackson drums up support for the Bell Ringer. The 1985-1986 school year saw at least two assemblies every week. The typical assembly usually consisted of announcements of upcoming events and perhaps a word of advice from our headmaster, Mr. Bondurant. Every now and then, however, the monotony of the regular assembly format was broken by some- thing unusual. The student body often found itself entertained by star acts such as MBA’s own Dr. John Neergaard, who crooned and swooned such hits as Washington at Valley Forge and a song about fat girls for Rob Ikard, or Mr. Drake degrading himself by becoming a cone-headed alien to encourage ticket sales for the Spaghetti Supper. Indeed, there were laughs-a-plenty all year long. Serious matters were addressed in assembly as well. Outside speakers came and spoke on the Salvation Army, and the topic of service as an ideal. MBA’s Dr. Christian Niemeyer addressed the sanctity of Christmas, and outstanding students were recognized for Totomoi, Cum Laude, National Merit achievements, and the like. There were exciting assemblies also. When else but during assembly could a student be shocked by twenty minutes of pure carnage, as presented by the well-intend- ing Tennessee Department of Safety. As tedious as some assem- blies can be, there are some exceptions to the rule, such as these examples and more, that entertain, intrigue, and most of all, challenge” the students of MBA. Assemblies 205 206 Spring Spring A little madness in the spring Is wholesome even for the king.” Although an MBA student may not be a king in the eyes of Emily Dick- inson, he nevertheless falls prey to the madness of spring .

As the 10th Annual Junior Senior Prom approached, many sen- iors wondered whether or not the Junior Class could improve upon last year’s Cotton Club theme. Under the leadership of construction chairman Trajan Carney, financial wizard Charles Mayes, and art designer T.K. Pen, Browklee O. Curry Gymnasi- um was slowly transformed into a tropical paradise. Arriving from the dinner banquet held at Belmont College, the seniors were amazed at the beauty of the presentation set. After the presentation itself, the seniors were welcomed to Fantasy Is- land” by Mr. O’Rourke and Tatoo ( a.k.a. Mr. Henderson and Peter Shim). 37 Targetz, a California band, began to rock the island with its unique sound. Crowd favorites included Pulling Mussels From a Shell” and Tempted” by Squeeze, and many other well-known songs from Elvis Costello, The Attractions and The Talking Heads. To the enjoyment of the large crowd, the band played well past its supposed quitting time. Prom night, however, did not end with the dance. The classes then split up to go to their various breakfasts where they could reflect upon their memorable prom experiences. Why, Dave, it ' s past your bedtime.” 212 Prom Art Shows In recent years, MBA has been developing a city-wide reputation for the high quality of its art shows. This year’s shows brought MBA’s status in the art realm to an all time high. Close to the beginning of the school year came a show in conjunction with Cumberland Art Gallery which displayed the works of several modern artists ranging from watercolors to paper cut-outs, from photorealism to abstraction. Following close behind came the Prison Art show, comprised of the works of inmates as local prisons. Perhaps the artistic highlight of the year, it captured the attention and interest of all, including a few news stations who interviewed Mr. Jim Womack, the inner wheel of the MBA art program. The show surprised many with its remarkably professional and talented works and opened our eyes to the world of the prisoners. A show displaying the works of Susan Van Riper was presented in the winter. It was primarily composed of portraits and landscapes in different media, but all were painted with the intent of capturing the aura” or atmosphere” of the subject. The end of the year, of course, saw the student art show. It was not as large as in years past, but the quality and variety of the works were superb. An interesting feature of the show was a retrospective look on most of the high school works of four fairly prolific and artistically involved seniors, Jim Gardner, Hunt Adams, Jeff Frace, and Bryan Donnell. Traditionally, MBA’s art shows allow those not generally involved in studio art or the study of art history to become more exposed to the realm of artistic expression. They play an important role in the school, and it seems that their future at MBA will be bright as they continue to follow their current trend.

Patterson, M. Mor- rissey The Honor Council is regarded as one of Montgomery Bell Academy’s finest institutions. Founded in 1945 by Dr. R.L. Sager, it has enforced the Honor Code which states that no student shall lie, cheat, steal, or deceive. The Honor Council is run completely by students elected from each class of the school. There are four senior officers, three juniors, two sophomores, two freshmen, and one Junior School student. The Honor Council operates by hearing cases brought before it, determining guilt or innocence of the accused, and, if the accused is found guilty, declaring a punishment suitable for the offense. At the end of each semester, the President of the Honor Council delivers an assembly address in which all cases brought before the council and the decisions made therein are recounted. The Honor Council of 1985-1986 was led by President Bill Cochran, Vice-President Jim Campbell, Secretary Bryan Donnell, and Treasurer Charlie Reasor. The Honor Council was pleased with the student body’s continued cooperation in reporting violations and suspected violations of the honor code. This student cooperation reflects the bond of honor present in the student body at MBA. Honor Council 219 Student Council Front Row: R. Bueno, R. Ikard, C. Fridrich, D. Fish; Second Row: C. Mayes, G.

Seshul The 1985-86 school year was a productive one of MBA’s Student Council. They placed emphasis on three main areas: special events, administration relations, and service to the community. Early in the year, the Student Council sponsored an extremely successful dance following the Dickson County football game. The annual valentine exchange with Harpeth Hall and St. Cecilia was the Council’s way of serving the majority of preparatory school sweethearts in the Metro area. Duds- day provided MBA students a fun break from the everyday dress code found on the Hill. To improve relations with the administration, the Student Council voices the ideas, complaints, and suggestions of the Student Body directly to Mr. Drake. The year saw several hallmarks of legislation, including the arrangement allowing blue jeans and tennis shoes to be worn at athletic events. In the area of community service, the Student Council continued its guidance at the Holy Name Church Soup Kitchen. This activity was expanded this year to run another local mission soup kitchen and a church clothes distribution program. Proceeds from the special events like Duds-day and dances went to charitable organizations such as the Second Harvest Food Bank. 218 Student Council FCA Front Row: C Brothers, W. Campbell, C.

The success carried on into the subsequent Thursday nights as more than 50 people attended the first regular meeting on September fourth. The Thursday night m eetings could be categorized into two types: a night for discussion or an open night for recreation or speakers. During the first semester, the FCA huddle discussed aspects of our Christianity such as prayer, daily trials and relation- ships with God, sharing our faith, God’s will for our lives, guarding one’s heart, and sex and dating. For the open nights, the huddle often times had speakers come to the meetings. During the first semester, MBA’s chapter heard Phil Roach, Tony Myers, Dr. Anderson Spickard, Bob Smithy, Rudy Kalis, and Steve Robinson speak. Other first semester highlights included the FCA Fun Run, which raised over $800.00; a joint meeting with Harpeth Hall; a joint meeting with Franklin Road Academy; a day retreat with Harpeth Halls Christian Fellowship Organization to Lynn Bouchard’s farm; and a pot-luck supper at the home of Tommy Frist. During the second semester, FCA continued in the same direc- tion with a lecture between discussion times and open nights. The second semester saw MBA’s FCA group discuss such sub- jects as ’’fighting the good fight,” the end of times, the impor- tance of daily quiet times, the first chapter of the Book of James, the elementry teachings of Christ, sin, and the ’’fruits of the spirit.” Open nights consisted of speakers Bill Wade, Alan Her- line, Scott Roli, and Joe Bias; a film on the issue of abortion, a one-night retreat to Johnny Thompson’s farm after exams; a ’’dunkball night”at Christ Presbyterian Church; a two-night re- treat to Fall Creek Falls State Park; another joint meeting with Harpeth Hall’s Christian Fellowship Organization; and the final meeting of the year, a cookout at Bill Cochran’s house. The 1985-1986 MBA FCA chapter had a sensational year — atten- dence was always high but especially encouraging was the consis- tant support of freshman and sophomore students. More impor- tantly to the FCA Chapter, is the fact the 15 students gave their lives to Christ this year in FCA related events. Praise God for these students, for all those who contributed to FCA, and all God’s Blessings on this FCA Chapter. Good Luck to next year’s Officers Johnny Thompson, Gantt Bumstead, David Spickard, and Tim Hamling. 220 FCA Service Club First Row: R. McNair, W. Campbell, C. Fridrich, C. Sanders, J. Griffith, N.

Griffith, President As one of the most important organizations at MBA, the Service Club is designed to give service to both the school and the community. The club consists of students from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes who are selected on the basis of their character and willingness to serve. Under the direction of Coach Bennett, the 1985T986 Service Club not only carried out the traditional jobs of taking up money at basketball games and ushering at football games, but also performed various jobs around the community. Early in the year, the club helped set up The Italian Street Fair. The Service Club also wo rked for the Taste of Our Town Fair, The Christmas Village, The Salvation Army, and the Children’s Hospital Paper Sale. The Service Club was also a big help in the state track meet this year at MBA. Under the leadership of President John Grif- fith, Vice-President Lee Vaughn, Secretary Jay Schmitt, and Ser- geant-at-Arms Chip Fridrich, the organization definietly fol- lowed their motto of ’’Small service is true service.” National Merit Semifinalists Front row: J.

I Totomoi STUDENT MEMBERS Scott Bennett Carter Brothers Robby Bueno Bill Cochran Bobby Crants Bryan Donnell Don Fish Jim Hunt Morgan Wills Travis Jackson Brennon Martin Charles Mayes Johnny Thompson Totomoi, an honorary fraternity representing the highest achievement of an M.B.A. student, was created in 1954 by Dr. Richard L. Sager in order to recognize those students who have achieved excellence in at least three of the following areas of school life: scholarship, athletics, student gov- ernment, organizations, publications, forensics, drama, and citizenship. Membership into Toto- moi is based on a student’s attaining a necessary number of points which are determined by length of service, achievement, and leadership in these areas. Faculty and friends of M.B.A. can gain membership by exhibiting outstanding ser- vice or dedication to the school over an ex- tended period of time. By upholding the motto of “Honor, Loyalty, and Service,” members of Totomoi serve as examples to all in the school. Cum Laude Hft Yk HBL 3 . 1 1 E m In ISKXS, the Cum Laude Society was established as an honorary fraternity patterned after the Phi Beta Kappa with the chief objective of recogniz- ing high school students who demonstrate supe- rior scholarship. Since the motto of Cum Laude — Arete, Dike, and Time — stresses excel- lence, justice, and honor, membership is award- ed only to students who have demonstrated good character, honor, and integrity in all as- pects of their school life. In May of this year, new members to M.B.A.’s chapter were inducted in a special assembly (with Dr. Harold B. Whiteman as the guest speaker). Six new seniors were inducted: Pat Bowers, Carter Brothers, Rob Elliott, Don Fish, Tom Hseuh, and John-Lindell Pfeffer. Junior induc- tees included Christopher Fly, Clark Geddie, Tom Humphreys, John Joe, Kenji Kono, and Brennon Martin. Mr. Don Fisher, Dr. Thomas Frist, Jr., and Dr. Harold B. Whiteman were also inducted as faculty and honorary members. Members: back row: C. Geddie, B. Martin, T. Humphreys, C. Fly, K. Kono, J. Joe 2nd row: M. Wills, R. Elliott, C. Brothers, P.

Dillon The MBA Chorus has become a fixture on The Hill in recent years, and with the direction of Mr. Gerald Arthur, has pro- duced countless successful performances. Under the addi- tional guidance of pianist Mrs. Marion Ross, the chorus kicked off the 1985-1986 school year singing Yuletide songs at St. Bernard, St. Cecilia, The Opryland Hotel, and, of course, MBA. The chorus sang again at the Father-Son Banquet and ended its year with the traditional performance at commence- ment. The chorus practiced not only during eighth period Tuesdays and Thursdays, but also before school prior to performances. Furthermore, Mr. Arthur occasionally focused on younger members during special Junior School practice sessions. Despite the loss of multiple seniors to graduation, the large number of Junior School members in this year s chorus shows much promise for a successful chorus program in the years to come. 224 Chorus Cheerleading Front Row: M.

Rich This year’s cheerleading season began back in April 1985 with tryouts. After tryouts were over, two male spots remained open due to the unfortunate lack of student interest. The female members of the squad were: Captain Kristen Kirby, Margaret Goodrum, Katy Morrissey, Mimi Baker, Wendy Bryan, Molly Reynolds, and Chris Topley. The MBA students were: Captain Don Fish, Steven Gilleland, Chip Blau- fuss, Louis Graber, and Joe Rich. Fortunately, these twelve were later joined by Harris Gilbert and Chris Sanders to balance out the squad. Sponsors for the team were Mrs. Pat Malone, and Mr. Don “The Beast” Fisher. The team prepared for the 1985-1986 season by attending cheerleading camp in Murfreesboro in August. After a slow start, the team soon finished the week with a superior ribbon. With all new uniforms, the squad was ready to conquer the world and to be the best cheerleading team in many years. In order to make cheerleading routines more enjoyable, the girls worked on new dance aerobics routines, and the guys learned countless new stunts from Vandy Cheerleading Captain John Friday. The cheerleading squad helped make a significant contri- bution to the success of this year’s athletic teams. The team would like to thank Mrs. Malone, Mr. Fisher, Don Fish, Kristen Kirby, and John Friday for their hard work in making a success- ful cheerleading season. The squad is confident that future squads will continue to benefit the athletic teams by increasing crowd support. 1C A 226 Outing Club Outing Club The Outing Club is an organization that seeks to provide students with weekend activities that will satisfy the students occasional desires for outdoor experiences. From these activities, the students can achieve a sense of inner peace while having a good time. The club sponsors such activities as hiking, bicycling, spelunking, and rafting. This year the club has rafted down the Ocoee River, hiked a section of the Appala- cian Trail, and explored the recesses of Lost Creek Cave. Despite this wide range of activity, Mr. Womack, the faculty sponsor, says that there is still room for expansion of the club’s activities. The key, he says, is student involvement. The club exists solely for the students’ benefit. Thus, the students must take interest and involvement in the planning of trips so that there can be more excursions each year. With this added support, the Outing Club will undoubtedly continue to be a very popular student organization at MBA. Officers: T. Bottorff (Secretary), J. Hunt (Vice-President), T. Masten (Events Chairman), D. Wood (President) Big Red Club Once again, this year’s Big Red Club remained one of the most popular organizations on campus. The spirit of the club was felt on the field, court, and mat throughout the school year. Led by officers David ”Spaz” Wood, Jim Little Jimmy Hunt, Todd Court Bouncer Bottorff, and Talbot Dues Collector” Masten, the Big Red Club demonstrated strength in all areas of leader- ship. The Varsity Crowd was present from the late summer to the late spring, aiding in the success of all teams and athletes. The Club was aided during the basketball season by the Pep Band. The group included David Wood on drums, Henrik fin- gers” Meng, Carter The Shiv” Brothers, Merritt Seshul on sax, and James Nash on guitar. The students redefined the term hostile crowd” at all levels — spiritual, moral, and physical. The creativity of such stunts as Hawaiian Theme Night and the Blues Brothers Rhythm and Blues Review lifted the participation of the fans to new heights. Indeed, the high levels of enthusiasm and commitment made this year’s Big Red Club a success, and if the coming years also see such incredible support from the students and faculty, the athletic teams should also continue their winning ways.

Fulmer, J. Reeve The MBA Speech and Debate team experienced one of its most successful years in the 1985-1986 season. The debaters continued to display their prowess in the most prestigious tournaments and round-robbins across the country, and the small but respectable individual events team found similar success as well. Senior leader Madison Laird had a very successful end to his outstanding high school career. He was named best speaker at Wake Forest, the Mars Hill Invitational in Alabama, the Homewood Patriot Classic also in Alabama, and the Glenbrook Round Robin in Chicago. Madison and junior T.A. McKinney won first in the varsity division at Ole Miss. T.A. continued to place first in the J.V. division with sophomore Tom Rogers at Glenbrook. T.A., accompanied by junior John Joe, won first at Wake Forest in the Junior Varsity division. Other pairs of J.V. debaters, Tom Gutow, Scott Boone, David Clem, and Braxton Perkins, won first at the Homewood Patriot Classic. Novice debaters were successful as well, especially at Homewood, where Jay Kahlon, Jeff Joe, John Reeve, and Burt Fullmer won first place. Burt was named best speaker. MBA also succeeded in other divisions. Scott Bennett won first in extemporaneous speaking in four tournaments, while Jeff Frace qualified for the Nationals in Student Congress and won two tournaments in the humorous interpretation division. Paul Kahlon contributed to the team by placing third out of ninety-six teams with Madison. Warren Sprouse will represent MBA in the Tennessee District at the National Tournament with T.A. Debate teams in the country converged in Nashville to compete in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the country, MBA’s own Southern Bell Forum IV. At the end of the long weekend, an exhausted Mr. Tate felt that it had been the best Southern Bell yet. The MBA Speech and Debate team has proven itself to be the best team in Tennessee, and possibly in the Southeast. Although Madison, Warren, Paul, Rob Page, Jeff, and Scott have graduat- ed, MBA can expect strong leadership in the coming year from T. A., John, and Chris Ptomey, among other young upstarts. The team’s successes were rewarded at the first annual debate ban- quet at Boston’s in Brentwood. 228 Debate Students find time for leisure in the art room. For many, a period spent in the Art Room is a vital part of the day. The atmosphere there varies from cool and calm to energetic and social. At different times of the day, students are able to rest from an often wearying academic pace. One is free to choose from any sort of project as well as to regulate one’s pace in an atmosphere devoid of any competitive pres- sure. This year the Art Department benefited from an increasingly great amount of student involvement and, as unusal, a strong showing of talent from these students. There was also a tendency among many of these students to develop their works to a higher level than in previous years. The Art History AP classes grew this year to a total enrollment of 29, the largest in the school’s history and among the largest in the state. m There was much talk this year about future expansion of the Art Department itself. A desire to see both the facilities and the program enlarged has been voiced by many. Plans for exactly how to accomplish this are being circulated amongst the Board of Trustees; a new building for art, drama, and music seems to be a possibility. Whatever happens, however, the Art Department appears to be approaching a period of growth and may soon attain the prominence and respect on campus that it so highly deserves.

Bowers (Assistant), R. Ro (Pho- tography); not pictured: B. Donnell (As- sistant), T. Jackson (Entertainment) The 1985-86 editions of The Bell Ringer ranked as possibly some of the best editions since its creation in 1941. The 1985-86 editors of The Bell Ringer improved the school paper by increasing the number of issues, by increasing the number of pages per issue, and by improving the overall quality of articles in each issue. There were six papers this year, the length of which ranged from eight to sixteen pages per issue. The most significant improvement, however, has been the in- crease in the quality of each issue. The editors introduced a series on alumni insights in which the MBA alumni would discuss his own perception of MBA as a student. The series began with a 1930’s graduate and ended with an early 1980’s graduate. The editors also introduced a series on faculty views. In each issue, a teacher would be interviewed about his or her thoughts on life on the Hill. There were also a number of editorials ranging from issues concerning MBA, such as the dress code, to issues concerning domestic and foreign affairs such as terrorism, abor- tion, and apartheid. Also interesting were Tom Hseuh’s political cartoons, appearing in five of the six issues. The most interesting issue, however, was the April Fool’s Day edition which an- nounced a proposed merger between MBA and Harpeth Hall. According to rumor, even Mrs. Lowry was fooled for a little while. Archives Editors: B. Donnell, T. Bottorff, J. Frace 230 The Bell Ringer Archives S.A.D.D. First Row: J. Rich, J. Thompson, D.

Dillon Students Against Driving Drunk, founded on the national level by Mr. Robert Anastas in 1981, was re-established on the Hill after a year’s absence. Prsident Chip Fridrich, along with Vice- President Tommy Frist, and Secretary John Griffith, set up sever- al meetings in the fall and winter with the aid of Mr. Killian and Mr. Poston. The meetings provided facts about drinking and driving, ways to handle the drunk driver, and ways to use the S.A.D.D. ’’Contract for Life.” In the early spring, Fridrich and Frist met with Mr. Poston and members Madison Laird and Jay Owen to discuss the Reader’s Digest $500,000 Scholarship Con- test. This contest was started to help keep the problem of drunk driving down on the high school level. Special assemblies were planned at not only MBA but also Harpeth Hall and St. Cecilia. The chapter attempted to let everyone know the importance of not drinking and driving during prom season and other functions when chances are high that someone will either face a drunk driver or have to make a decision about driving drunk himself. A suggestion list for people having parties was also devised by the chapter. This list gave feasible ways of handling potentially drunk drivers. The future for S.A.D.D. at MBA is bright. The output during open discussions and meetings was outstanding this year. S.A.D.D. works, and if MBA students are willing to join together, we will be able to prevent accidents or fatalities involving our students. Since S.A.D.D. was established in 1981, the death rate for the age bracket 16-21 has dropped by over 2000, thus proof of its aid. S.A.D.D. was established not to discourage drinking but to educate those who have had too much to drink and must put their lives and the lives of others in jeopardy. With the aid of Tommy Frist, Mr. Killian, and Mr. Poston, S.A.D.D. should remain a strong influence at MBA next year. Sons of Alumni Front row: C. Brothers, B. Wilson, L. Vaughn, M. Wills, S.

Sons of Alumni 231 Conclusion Commencement Commencement. It is a time for which many seniors have waited up to six years. It is a time when the Senior Class must recognize their departure from a shcool at which they have lived and matured, learned about the world and learned about themselves. It is also a time of reflection on the past. The One Hundred and Nineteenth Commencement of Montgomery Bell Academy was all of this and more. But enough of sentimentality. On May 31, 1986, in Brownlee O. Currey Gymnasium, the ceremony began with the procession of the Board of Trustees. Next came the faculty and administration and, finally, the graduating class of 1986. Senior Class president Robby Bueno delivered the invocation to begin the program and received a silver tray on behalf of the senior class. Bobby Crants followed this presentation with the Salutatory address in which he likened the Class of ’86 to the jet pilots in the movie Top Gun” — the best of the best.” After a few academic awards had been given out, Robby Bueno presented a check to Mr. Bondur- ant to pay for the class gift, a drinking fountain by the tennis courts. Next, Morgan Wills and Jim Hunt were called on to read the dedication of the 1986 BELL, which was presented to Coach Tommy Owen. Not to be outdone by Bobby, Willie Lin, having thoroughly researched Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations, gave a fine Valedic- tory address. After a short chorus presentation, Mr. Bondur- ant began the major awards ceremony, which culminated 234 Commencement with the two most important awards: the William Bailey Memorial Award for Honor, Loyalty, and Integrity in the Senior Class to Bill Cochran; and the William Martin Award for the Best All-around Boy in the School to Robby Bueno. Midway through the ceremony, Mr. Bondurant was amazed to receive on behalf of the school a check for $100,000 from Dr. Kirby Jackson, MBA’s oldest living alumnus. Next, the Junior School graduates received their diplomas. Finally, the awarding of diplomas to the Class of ' 86 by Chairman of the Board Joe C. Davis began. There was one exception to this formality, however. Senior John Thompson received his diploma from his grandmother, Mrs. Garriott, who works on the MBA office staff. Good boy that he is, John gave her a big hug. After every senior had received his diploma, Mrs. Marion Ross led the student body and the crowd in the singing of the Alma Mater. Honor Council President Bill Cochran then closed the commencement pro- gram with an appropriate benediction. Dr. Kirby Jackson returns to his seat after presenting Mr. Bondurant with a $100,000 check to MBA.

You have just actually begun to read the Edi- tors’ Note. Every year the editors of The Bell sit down at about this time in an attempt to put the year of hard work into capsule form. In retrospect, we find this impossible because one just cannot fathom the hours of toil put into such a producion unless he has actually done it. Unlike most incoming editors, we did have some grasp of what we were jumping into when the year started, since we had just finished laying out the last sixty pages of the ’85 Bell. Suicidal. Maybe. But we went ahead anyway and put forth an earnest effort to produce the best yearbook MBA had ever seen. We tried to accomplish this by reinstituting the interlocking MBA grid on the cover and by increasing the size of the book among other things. Most importantly, however, we broke what had begun to become an unfortunate tradition over the past two years by actually finishing production on time! Alas, despite the griping and fuming throughout the year, the success- ful completion of this formidable task makes it possible for us to honestly say that we were glad to do it. We hope you enjoyed it. Tons of thanks to: — Dr. Crowell for his time and effort — The late Mr. Bill Benson for his time and thoughtful sugges- tions. — Brennon Martin and the rest of the business staff for coming through in a pinch. — David Wood for eventually getting us all of the pictures we needed. —Jay Schmitt and Carter Brothers for getting us articles when- ever we needed them. — Henrik Meng and Robert Michael Reed for getting articles typed on two seconds notice. —Mr. Jack Farrar for lending us some great sports photos when we were in a bind. — Mr. Ralph Langreck for some superb layouts for the color section. — Our families and friends for putting up with us on the many occasions we moved into the Physics Lab for weeks at a time. — All the staffs and everyone else who helped us when we needed it. 238 Editors’ Note The Class of 1986 What more can one say than has already been said? Consequently, this year’s class will always remain extra special in the hearts of those who knew it well. The class was an amazing amalgamation of scholars, gentlemen, and athletes — true. But within these realms dwelt the social lions, the eggheads, the wise guys, and the contemporaries; the jocks,” the red necks, the preppies, and the hell raisers. The amazing thing about this class however, was not the individuals, but the manner in which they jelled when put to the test. Senior-dominated athletic teams brough MBA its winningest overall season in years — an admira- ble accomplishment. A renewed sense of Big Red spirit was partially a cause and result of this success on the playing fields. But when one couples this with the fact that this same class set records for members of National Merit Semifinalists and percentages of students on the privilege list, the feat is astounding. Perhaps the greatest testimony of this class’ special sense of unity, however, was the incredible response that it produced upon the tragic loss of classmate Steve Gilleland shortly after gradu- ation. Less than a day after the accident, almost the entire graduating class had convened at the Gilleland home to offer their condolences. At the memorial service, president Robby Bueno spoke for the whole class when he closed, simply saying: Steve was our friend.” It is safe to say that Steve was emblematic of each member of the Class of ’86 — a friend to all. MONTGOMERY BELL ACADEMY Class of 1986 239 IN MEMORY STEVEN LLOYD GILLELAND 1967-1986 Your face will always live in our minds, Your voice will always live in our ears, as they did throughout the years we knew you. You were a gentleman, a scholar, an athlete. But above all you were a friend, as you always shall be to the very end of our lives. IN MEMORY WILLIAM A. BENSON, JR. 1917-1986 Bill” Benson was, for most of the forty years of Montgomery Bell Academy’s yearbook, the publisher’s representative. For Bill Ben- son, this meant that he was our friend and our mentor. He was loyal, supportive, and generous with his time and counsel. His courtly manners and gracious nature have made generations of young men better through their association with him. He will be missed as only a dear friend can be missed. It is a fitting memorial to him that succeeding generations of men are finer and nobler because of his influence on their lives.
