Montgomery Bell Academy - Bell Yearbook (Nashville, TN)

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.
