Mr. John Bennett A member of M.B.A.’s administration for 24 years, Mr. Bennett has become an essential member of life on the Hill. Mr. Bennett has taught virtually every math course, coached baseball for 18 years, coached basketball for 14 years, and is currently the Director of Athletics. He is also a sponsor for the Service Club. This dedication to M.B.A. by Mr. Bennett, who describes himself as low key, was best shown when he said, I can’t think of any other school that I’d rather teach and coach at with the fine young men, and that’s the truth. Mrs. Mary Comfort Stevens Having served as the college counselor at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts for at least six years, Mrs. Stevens moved to Nashville to fill the spot of college counselling. After growing up in Pennsylvania, she went to Mt. Holyoke College where she received her B.A. She then went on to work at Andover before coming to M.B.A. In the past few years Mrs. Stevens has visited many universities across the country in order to advise students more effectively to the most appropriate college for them. Mrs. Stevens must keep a constant watch on the seniors to check their progress in tlie application process. After her first year at M.B.A., Mrs. Stevens says that she really enjoyed the students with whom she has worked. She also comments, Sometimes, I feel like my office is Grand Central Station. But I love it! Office Staff Mrs. Garriott The office staff is the foundation upon which the school relies for its daily needs. Mrs. Sowell serves as the Office Manager and Book- keeper, replacing Mrs. Liles who retired from full-time work but remains a vital part of the staff in her part-time duties. Mrs. Garriott serves as a secretary to both Mr. Bondurant and Mr. Drake, w ' hile Mrs. Bradshaw answers the phone, runs the bookstore, and assists the students and faculty alike. Mrs. Morrissey serves as the recep- tionist and secretary of the Junior School. This dedicated group of women, who frequently go beyond the call of duty to help students, is a valuable asset to the school. Mrs. Liles Mrs. Sowell Mrs. Bradshaw Mrs. Morrissey 22
