Mr. Gordon Bondurant Headmaster Gordon E. Bondurant has had a very productive year. Ever-mindful of M.B.A.’s standards in excellence, he continues to expand and improve life on the Hill. For example, in the Athletic arena, he continues to support all the sports while initiating and supporting newer sports such as swimming and hockey. He is also constantly aware of the need for student involvement in matters which pertain to the school. This awareness spurned his creation of the long-range planning committee and his allowing students to suggest uses of school funds. Mr. Bondurant was headmaster at Darlington School in Georgia before coming to M.B.A. He holds a B.A. from Davidson and a M.A. from U.T. Chattanooga. Mr. Michael Drake Mr. Michael Drake, a seasoned faculty member on the Hill, has been and continues to be not only a responsible administrator, but also a very popular teacher and friend to students at M.B.A. As advisor to the senior class, Mr. Drake is kept busy watching over seniors and writing college recommendations for them. Mr. Drake’s wide knowledge of history and his zeal for teaching explain the popularity of his rigorous AP American History course. Because Mr. Drake is a sponsor for this year’s trip to Spain, they who join him may expect a fun as well as an educational spring break. Mr. Drake, a loyal supporter of M.B.A. off campus, may be seen on campus working in his office, helping with maintenance, excitedly teaching his history class, or simply chatting with a student or faculty member. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and of George Peabody College for Teachers, and he is working toward his Ph.D. by taking classes at Tennessee State University. 20
