THE BELL 1988 MONTGOMERY BELL ACADEMY Formally established in 1667 with a bequest of $20,000 by Ironmaster Montgomery Bell, the roots of M.B. A actually go bacK to 1765, with the University of Nashville. Cumberland College, and Davidson Academy. The preparatory school has been here since 1915 , when the Board of frustees rchased Totomol, the estate of Garland Tinsley. Montgomery Bell Academy Nashville, Tennessee Dedication Since 1979, Mr. Gordon E. Bondurant has been an omnipresent force in the shaping of Montgomery Bell Academy’s destiny. He and his family have been totally dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of school life. He is present at almost every single event in the school day, from conferences early in the morning to athletics and extra-curricular events late at night and on week- ends. Mr. Bondurant always has an open door to students, parents, friends, and faculty and has greatly increased the participation of each in the decision-making process at MBA. His pursuit of excellence for MBA on both the local and national level has made him one of the hardest working people in the MBA community. The changes he has made have been profound and wide-reaching in terms of endowment, national recognition, faculty salaries and retirement, buildings and grounds, and parent and alumni relations. For all the hours, for all the love and care, the 87-88 BELL is proud to dedicate this annual to Mr. Gordon E. Bondur- ant. Preface The joys I have possessed are ever mine; out of thy reach, behind eternity, hid in the sacred treasure of the past, but blest rememberance brings them hourly back. John Dryden It is our hope as editors of the 1988 BELL that the images created in the following pages will evoke joyous memories of MBA’s 121st year. 9 As boys join together in the pursuit of academic excellence, they develop friendships that last a lifetime. 10 14 Like father and son.

Bondurant has continued to maintain the school’s high degree of excellence and uphold the high expectations of the students in all areas. Mr. Bondurant’s warm smile, friendly disposition, and open door policy towards talking to students have all contributed to his establishment of a trusting relationship with the students and faculty alike. With the start of such service projects as the soup kitchen, Mr. Bondurant has established a strong awareness of values and a sense of community among the students. Mr. Bondurant has been a fine administrator and has set a fine example for the students to follow. Mr. Bondurant was headmaster of the 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 Assistant Headmaster Michael Drake, in addition to his administrative duties, serves as the Senior Class advisor, an odious task in which he must suppress the infamous “senior slide” by persuading seniors to submit their college applications before the dreaded deadlines. Mr. Drake clearly ex- presses his philosophy in his fine work at school, where he believes in gentlemanly behavior, hard work, and participation in the school and in the community. His philosophy is important not only at M.B.A. but also in life after school. His continual support of the students and his jovial personality makes him popular and well-respected by the student body and faculty. Mr. Drake is a graduate of the University of Virginia and George Peabody College for Teachers. 20 Dr. Harold Crowell Dr. Harold Crowell is a busy man, not only because he is the Dean of Faculty and Students, but also because he is the chairman of the science department. His other responsibilities include annual advisor. Junior class advisor, and Physics teacher. His thorough teaching method and enjoyable manner enable him to relate to students on a personal basis. He received his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt. Not tolerating misbehavior, he upholds the great M.B.A. reputation with discipline and concern for students. Dr. G. Edward Gaffney Dr. Edward Gaffney, Head of the Junior School, helps stimulate and prepare the seventh and eighth graders for High School. He is, however, not limited to just the Junior School. He teaches Latin from the first year all the way up to the AP course, and teaches a Greek course for some students. He has studied in many universities. He received his M.A., B.A., and Ph.D. at Vanderbilt, and studied at Rome University and at Gospel in Athens. For the past twelve years, he has sponsored a trip to Europe; this year’s trip was to France. He is also a sponsor for the Junior Honor Society and Demerit Supervisor for the seventh and eighth graders. Mr. James Poston Mr. Poston has been a member of the MBA faculty for 26 years. He has his MA from Peabody. Mr. Poston has been the director of the MBA Players since 1961. Mr. Poston came to MBA in 1 959 and worked until 1 968. He then went to Florida to teach and later returned to MBA in 1971, and has been a member of the faculty ever since. He is now the head drug counselor and is in charge of Project 7 1 4. He is the head tennis coach and has been the district coach of the year 84-87 and state coach of the year 86-87. He best sums up his career by “To err is human, to forgive divine.” Mr. Laird Smith, Jr Mr. Laird Smith is the director of buildings and grounds at M.B.A. He graduated from M.B.A. in 1958 and returned to the Hill in December of ’73 to work part- time, signing on full-time in 1982 after the construction of the Massey building, the track, and the new gym. Mr. Smith takes pride in his work and wishes to instill a similar pride in the students by providing them a beautiful campus. This hard work has not gone unnoticed: last year, M.B.A. placed second in the private school category in a city-wide school campus competition. Mr. John Bennett Completing his 25th year as a member of M.B.A.’s administration, Mr. Bennett remains a valuable resource in the M.B.A. community. In the classroom, Mr. Bennett may be found teaching Algebra II and Geometry. However, he is not limited to academics; he holds the important position of Athletic Director. He also serves as Head Coach of the Varsity Basketball team and as the Service Club Sponsor. Mr. Bennett’s efforts and involvement in the area of drug and alcohol abuse have inspired many in the M.B.A. community. He received a B.E. from Vanderbilt University. Ms. Mary Comfort Stevens Ms. Stevens is the college counselor at M.B.A. She gives of herself to help each student make plans for the future by helping him pick out a college and complete an application. After studying at Mount Holyoke and Sorbonne in Paris and receiving her B.A. in European Literature and French, she worked at Phillips Academy, where she taught French for a year and also worked with admissions, college counseling, and alumni relations. 14 Office Staff The five members of the Montgomery Bell Academy Office Staff are vital to the school. Mrs. Bradshaw, the Upper School Reception- ist, is always ready to help others with prob- lems. Mrs. Garriot is the greatly appreciated secretary of Mr. Bondurant and Mr. Drake, while Mrs. Liles adds her support to the office staff. Mrs. Morrissey serves as the Junior School receptionist, and the school could not manage without office and business manager Mrs. Sowell. ms- r .di Mrs. Anne Christeson English I, English II; Sponsor to AR- CHIVES; B.A., Vanderbilt; M.S, University of Ten- nessee Mr. William Compton College Algebra, Calculus AB, Com- puter; Freshman Football, Varsity Track; B.S., David- son College; M.A.T., Duke Uni- versity Mr. Ken Downey Eighth Grade His- tory and Word Wealth; Varsity Football Assistant, Varsity Basketball Assistant, Varsity Baseball Assistant; B.A., Vanderbilt Mr. Floyd Elliott Pre-Algebra, Col- lege Algebra; Varsi- ty Football; B.S., Tennessee Tech Mrs. Jeannine Bowers French I, French IV (AP); DES, University of Nancy, France Mrs. Carol C.

Wrestling Assis- tant, J.V. Soccer; A.B., Stanford University Dr. Harold Whiteman and Mrs. Ruth Napier are in charge of the Development Office, which raises money and serves the alumni. Last year, a program of annual giving was instituted for the first time and raised $285,000. M.B.A. is fortunate that this money does not have to be used to pay the yearly bills as it does in most schools, but can go directly into an endowment fund managed by a brokerage firm. The interest from this fund not only pays expenses but also subsidizes each student’s tuition. This year the program should be equally successful. Before last year, the school raised money primarily by holding capital campaigns, fund- raisers for specific goals such as the one in 1 982 that raised the $7.5 million for the Massey building, the new gym, improvement of the athletic field, and increasing the endowment. Besides handling M.B.A.’s financial affairs, the Development Office serves the alumni. Last year marked the beginning of the publication of an alumni list which contains each alumnus’ address and occupation. An updated list should be made every five years. This year for the first time, an alumni magazine was made and the first annual alumni dinner will be held in December.

Howell (Secretary), Joe Davis (Chairman of the Board), Brownlee Currey Jr. (Vice-Chairman of the Board), David Wilson, Dortch Oldham, William Cochran The Board of Trust’s history is closely linked with Montgomery Bell Acade- my’s own. In the early days as Cumberland College, some prominent trust- ees were Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson. Years later. Board member Dempsey Weaver used funds from Montgomery Bell’s estate to establish Montgomery Bell Academy. In the late nineteenth cen- tury, the Board of Trust blocked an attempt by Peabody College to annex MBA. In 1911, Trustee Judge Robert Ewing introduced Mr. Isaac Ball as the new Headmaster of MBA. Under the guidance of Mr. Ball, the Board of Trust acquired a thirty-two acre tract of land with a house to provide for future expansion. After a disastrous fire in 1 925, the Board, under President Mr. John Sloan, commenced an ambitious rebuilding program under which Brownlee O. Currey Gymnasium was constructed and Wallace Hall was renovated.

Morrissey snags six It was a typical summer morning in Nashville: so humid one can hardly breathe. However, for 55 MBA 1987 Varsity Football candidates who arrived at the AV room at ten minutes before 9:00 AM on Monday, July 31, it was not just any other morning. Each player and coach came with one goal in the back of his head, winning the 1987 TSSAA State Championship. The past two seasons had been successful ones for MBA, bringing home a district title and a second round playoff berth both years. This year’s team wanted not only to continue the tradition, but also to take it further. However, after an injury-plagued first month and a couple of hard-fought lost scrimmages, few thought MBA would even have a winning season. On the contrary there was no way that this year’s team was going to let the people’s opinion determine the success of their season, for they had learned in the past two seasons that the underdog could win. On Friday, August 28, 1987, the Riverdale Warriors from Murfreesboro, Tennessee came to Nashville to attempt to defeat the Big Red. Gametime was 7:30 PM, and by 10:00 that night the Warriors were on their bus going home, amazed at the amount of fight in the “Junk Yard Dogs” they had just played, for the Big Red Scrappers had just defeated Riverdale 31-13. Drew Robison had his first of many successful nights, passing for 1 77 yards and no interceptions. Robison threw touchdown passes to Mike Morrissey and Demetri Patikas. Robison also ran for another touchdown as did Patrick Roberts. To top off the scoring, Jeff Owen booted a 22 yard field goal. As a conclusion to the highly successful victory, Mike Morrissey’s key interception in the second quarter was named the Nashville Banner Metro Play of the Night. The next week, MBA played Whites Creek at home in the first district game of the year. The Cobras were new to District 1 1-AAA and were favored to win the district. Although the Big Red put up a fight until the final second of the game, their efforts came up a little short, as Whites Creek won the game 14-7. MBA was unable to generate any offense during the game until late in the fourth quarter when Robison hit Morrissey for a 17 yard touchdown pass. After the Big Red scored they desperately attempted an on-side kick; Richard Speight came up with the ball, but MBA was unable to score again. However, wide-out David Spickard shined during the game with eight catches for 120 yards. The following Friday went much the same way for the Big Red. MBA travelled to Beech High School with hopes of rebuilding after last week’s loss, but then did not play to their ability and lost 14-10. Jeff Owen kicked a 3 1 yard field goal and Demetri Patikas caught a 12 yard touchdown pass from Drew Robison. The Big Red now realized they had to win the remainder of their games in order to earn a playoff berth. Therefore, they had a team meeting and decided to start their “new season” in which they would win seven straight games. After a hard and intense week of practice, the Big Red bounced back and trounced the Overton Bobcats 31-6. Robison threw touchdown passes to Patikas and Owen, who also kicked a field goal. The running game was led by Patrick Roberts who scored the first touchdown of the game on a 7 yard run. The offensive line consisting of John Smithwick, Andrew Bond, Mike Seshul, Lindsey Cooper, and Mike Poe had an excellent game as did the entire MBA defensive unit which forced seven Bobcat turnovers. 150 MBA returned home to play Cookeville the next week. The Cavaliers came to town only to find that MBA was serious about their “new season.” MBA won 42-7. The Big Red was led by Jeff Owen who scored two touchdowns, one on a catch and the other on a run. MBA showed a little Razzle-Dazzle when tailback Patrick Roberts threw a touchdown pass to De- metri Patikas. Emmett Russell also scored on a 6 yard pass reception from Robison, and linebacker Brooks Smith led the defensive effort. The next week the Big Red travelled to Brentwood High. Without starting quarterback Drew Robison, and because of gale-force winds, MBA turned to the running game. Patrick Roberts rushed for 160 yards and scored all of MBA’s points in the 8-0 victory. The defense showed much improvement, achieving their first shutout of the season. MBA returned home for a Homecoming victory over the Hillwood Toppers 21-9. The return of quarterback Drew Robison was felt when he threw three touchdown tosses, one to Owen, one to Morrissey, and a 75 yard connection to Emmett Russell. Linebackers Brooks Smith and Worchester Bryan and tackle Sheldon Griffin had excellent games defensively. The next game of the season was the long-time famous rivalry — MBA vs Ryan. The Big Red rolled to a 16-13 win, avenging last year’s loss. The victory also put MBA second place in the district race. The defense played extremely well, keeping Ryan deep in its own territory late when the Irish needed to drive. Offensively, Robison ran for a 20 yard touchdown and threw a 20 yard TD pass to Patikas. Also, Owen kicked a 30 yard field goal. In the second to last regular season game, MBA defeated Pearl-Cohn 41-6. Drew Robison threw four touchdown passes: two to Patikas, one to Owen, and one to Morrissey. Also, Chris Hall rushed for two touchdowns. Although the victory over Pearl-Cohn assured MBA of a playoff berth, the Big Red refused to lighten up the next week, trouncing Hillsboro 24-7. The offense was led by Patrick Roberts’ two touchdowns and Jeff Owen’s touchdown and field goal, while the defensive line shut down the Burros’ running game completely. The Big Red had finished the regular season 9- 1 due to a forfeit victory from Beech and they travelled to Stratford the next week to play in the first round of the playoffs. The Big Red suffered a 28-7 loss, thus ending their season. Although the Big Red did not achieve every goal they set, the 1987 Varsity Football team compiled a successful 9-2 record and a first round playoff berth. obison barks the signals , and Spick awaits the pitch 151 Chris Hall makes a cut as the ref watches Emmett is down after making a key reception Vanderbilt-bound Jeff Owen boots the pigskin Patrick Roberts gallops across the stripes 152 Coach Owen addresses the troops A sidelined Marc Smith The senior players clown around 153 JV Football First row: Renard Francois, Rabin Nimmo, Richie Gann, Brad Bishop, Jimmy Thompson, Kirk Kaludis Second row: Billy Crawford, Lindsey Cooper, Rob Lentz, John Moore, Stuart Towery, Scott Burrow, Clayton Dike Top row: Frank Drowota, Greg Downer, George Clements, Dan Brooks, Alden Smith, Matt Fisher, Greg Pearson The 1987 JV football team outscored opponents 106-30 yet finished with a 2-3 record, the largest deficit in their three losses being seven points. With coach Regen, Coach Downey, and Floyd Elliott at the helm, the underclassmen were able to show their coaches what they could do with players more their size. In their first game, the JV lost to White Creek 14-8 with Jimmy Thompson recover- ing a fumble caused by Richie Gann for the lone TD. The Big Red then faced Overton at home but fell in defeat 9-6 with Overton kicking a field goal in the closing minutes of the defensive struggle. The third game saw the JV trounce the Burros 47-0 with Crawford, Smith, Bishop, and Burrow scoring at least once. The next game was a drumming of Brentwood High 42-0 in which the entire team played impressively. Highlights included Burrow’s interception for a TD and Smith’s punt returns. The season ended with a 8-0 loss to Hillwood in which turnovers proved to end the Big Red’s hopes for a winning season. The powerful line that opened huge holes consisted of Rob Lentz, Stuart Towery, Kelsey Fitzpatrick, David Trainer, Lindsey Cooper, Jimmy Thompson, Clayton Dike, and Steve Anderson. Billy Crawford quarterbacked the team, and connected often with Scott Burrow, Richard Arendale, and Brad Bishop, all of whom joined defensive standouts Andy Patterson, Richie Gann, Frank Drowota, Greg Downer, and Mike O’Hare in the defensive backfield. On the ground, the ball found the hands of Alden Smith, Matt Fisher, and Worchester Bryan. Allan Hunt and Billy Lyle played tight end and joined the JV’s defensive stopper Dan Brooks at linebacker, while Alden Smith, Matt Fisher, Worcester Bryan, Chris Hall, and Rabin Nimmo provided a strong ground game. The underclassmen showed potential this year and will be counted on next fall to continue the Big Red’s winning ways. 154 Freshman Football First row: Stephen Sisco, Philip Avant, Bryan Bleeker, Patrick Harkleroad, John Witherspoon, Bill Bryan, Luke Davis, Patrick Hayes, Scott Doolittle, Lance Carney, Keith McCarty, Charlie Bryan, Spencer Leek; Second row: Graham McRedmond, Drew Healy, Brad Downs, Ron Salas, Jeff Lindstrom, Cary Brothers, Cabot Hyde, Jeff Goidel, David Mason, Todd Foust, David Hitt, Earl Simmons, Thomas Carlton, George Adams; Third row; Craig Spengler, Jeff Buntin, Andrew Dupps, Adin Lara, Chris Vlahos, Tate McDaniel, Will Chapman, Alex Waddey, Matt Poe, De Thompson, Michael Brooks, Robert Echols, Michael Malone, Richard Cummins The 1987-88 freshman football team will be remembered as one of the more talented teams in recent history. This year’s team entered the season with high hopes because of the immense talent as well as the enthusiasm of rookie head coach Mr. Forehand. After two weeks of practice, the team started its season with a game against the mighty Spartans from Stratford. The Spartans appeared less than intimidat- ing, though, for the Frosh crushed them 21-0. The running attack of Robert Echols and Michael Malone complemented the passing game led by quarterback Tate McDaniel. Next for the Frosh was rival Whites Creek. The team was able to run its record to 2-0 after a 19-6 thrashing with Alex Waddey’s 60 yard run highlighting the win. The freshmen’s next opponent were the Pearl-Cohn Firebirds. They proved to be no match as the Big Red rolled to an easy 30-6 victory. Rushing the ball for touchdowns were Keith McCarty, Charlie Williams, and Tate McDaniel. Finishing the scoring for the Frosh was Michael Malone, who returned an intercep- tion for a touchdown. With a 3-0 record, the Frosh were prepared to host a powerful Hill- wood team. Both teams entered the contest with perfect records, so this game would likely decide the district championship. The Frosh held tough, but a late rally by Hillwood proved to be too much as MBA was defeated 20-7. The Big Red bounced back, however, with easy victories over Hillsboro, Overton, and arch-rival Father Ryan. Each of these games was highlighted by the stingy Big Red defense led by Matt Poe, Chris Vlahos, and a host of others. They won each of these games by more than 28 points and threw shutouts in each one. This year the Frosh scored 174 points and their opponents 32, which - shows the dominance that the team displayed in every game during their successful 6-1 campaign. Microbe Football Row 1.

Tab Burkhalter, Jackson Wray, Bo Bartholomew, Joe Underwood, Clay Kinnard, Ray Brooks, Glenn Harris, Eric Crawford, Joseph Sitton, Paul Moser The MBA microbe football team finished its 1987 season with a record of 2-4. Nicknamed the “Little Red,” the microbe football team conquered such opponents as Ezell Harding and Page. Quarterbacked by Joe Underwood, the powerhouse offense of the Little Red seemed unstoppable on the field of battle. One of the many high points of the season occurred against Ezell Harding when running back Glenn Harris, behind a strong offensive line led by Clay Kinar, Andy Ward, and Paul Mo- sier, scampered for four touchdowns on five carries. These offensive feats were comple- mented by a strong defense, which was led by the hard hitting of Eric Crawford. The excel- lent coaching staff consisted of Head Coach Thoni, Coaches Gaither and Killian, and line specialist Allie Fuqua. All in all, the Little Red performed well as a team, and they gained much experience that will enable them to aid future MBA football teams. Varsity Cross Country Ikard and Zibas get ahead of the pack As the Cross Country team began whipping itself into shape early in August, the big question facing the team was who would replace the large number of runners lost last year to graduation. The only runners returning from last year’s team were co-captains Steve Zibas and Jay Knowles, and junior Lanson Hyde. The answer quickly became apparent through the summer practice and the second annual Montgomery Bell Academy cross country camps. Last year’s B-team would provide the strong runners: Chad Enders, Tommy Vandever, and Brent Cummings. James “Cross country is harder than football” Gooch, always a strong track runner, also had a promising year ahead of him as did Jason Burroughs, another first year runner. Yet the biggest surprise and the biggest boon to the team this year was the appearance of super frosh Keith Ikard and Casey Jones, who ran as the second and third men throughout the year. The first major meet of the season was the Tennessee Classic on September 19. The extremely competitive field was made up of teams from Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia. Steve Zibas finished an impressive sixth place and Keith Ikard was 23rd. The team ended up finishing a rather disappointing 1 1th out of 46, but considering the fact that five out of the seven men had never run in a major meet before, their performance was admirable. The next week was the A. J. Bridges, which drew the best teams from throughout the state. Zibas finished fourth and Ikard 15th, while Casey Jones and Lanson Hyde both began to show some of their talent, finishing 40th and 44th, respectively. The team finished fourth overall, defeating eventual state champs Brentwood Academy in the process. 158 First row: Dave Hayes, George Rietz, Greg Parker, Clay Posey, Logan Fortner, Michael Bennett, Rob Lance Second row: Thayer Smith, Brent Cummings, Brandon Barrett, Walter Southwood, Jason Burroughs, Jay Binkley, Keith Ikard, Casey Jones, John Hayes Third row: David Strayhorn, Bill Penuel, Jay Riven, Chad Enders, Steve Jobe, Steve Zibas, Jay Knowles, Lanson Hyde, John Schweikert, Marion Southall Midway throughout the season, Steve Zibas injured his achilles tendon, putting him out of action for a few weeks. The rest of the team was able to go on without him and finished third in the Gallatin Invitational on October 1. Keith Ikard was sixth in the race, Casey Jones 11th, Lanson Hyde 12th, and Jason Burroughs was 29th. Four days later, however, the Big Red Harriers were edged out by a strong Dickson County team on their home course. As the end of the season approached, Zibas was recuperated, and the rest of the team was ready to head for the state. They won the Metro Classic race by a small eight point margin over Stratford, while soundly defeating the rest of the teams in Nashville. Steve Zibas won the race by over 20 seconds, Keith Ikard was sixth, Casey Jones eighth, Lanson Hyde 19th, Brent Cummings 26th, Chad Enders 45th, and Jay Knowles was 99th. The next week at the region V championship meet, MBA crushed all of the other teams, winning the meet by nearly 50 points. Steve Zibas again won, Keith Ikard was fourth, Casey Jones fifth, James Gooch 21st, Lanson Hyde 27th, Brent Cummings 29th, and Chad Enders 31st. The following week in the state meet, MBA had its best ever performance, finishing fifth among the 19 best teams in Tennessee. They were only one point away from fourth and eight points off third place. Steve Zibas finished fourth, the best ever finish for an MBA runner in the state meet. Casey Jones was 25th and Keith Ikard 29th. With five of the top seven returning, prospects for next year’s team look good. There will be a number of peo- ple who can aptly fill the two vacant posts: Jason Burroughs, Jay Binkley, Thayer Smith, Brandon Barrett, George Neily, Walter Southwood, and Fortner Logan along with rising microbes Justin Crosslin and Matt Zibas could make next year’s team a strong contender for the state title. 159 Microbe Cross Country First row: Kaui Parachuri, Michael Burke, Russel Acosta, Sanjay Shenai, Stephen Phillips, Geoffrey Leek, Alan Sundell, Andy Anderton, Aaron Norman Second row: Hal Pickel, Kirk Brown, Robert Marigza, Mark Szydlo, Greg Tamberino, Chris Bynum, Seth Robertson, David Wyckoff, Andrew Vahrenkamp, Brandon Hulette, Warren Connally, Jeremy Derryberry Third row: Mrs. Christeson, David Proctor, James Huang, John Teeter, Wesley Schiel, Andrew Publow, Flagg Youngblood, Matt Zibas, Sonny Heiser, Justin Crosslin, Christian Puryear, Matt Foster, Mr. Novak, Asher Dudley, Paul Devgan, Zachary Wilks The 1 987 microbe cross country team made its presence known this fall by beginning the sea- son with crushing defeats of rival schools and closing out with a very strong third place in the HVAC championship meet on October 14. Co-coaches Novak and Christeson led the run- ners through the season with much skill and patience. Captains Matt “I’m 4” Zibas and Justin Crosslin placed extremely well in every meet, Crosslin eventually taking third place in the championships after a mysterious mid-sea- son disappearance of Zibas. Other outstand- ing runners for the Big Red included eighth graders Chris Bynum, David Wycott, and Grey Tamberind, and seventh graders Hal Pickel and Kavi Paruchuri. Besides dominat- ing teams from Brentwood Academy, BGA, and FRA, the so-called “truckin demons” also managed to have fun partaking in the great sport of running. Eighth grader Matt Zibas sums up the season by saying: “This year’s team had a lot of potential, and I think we had a great year.” Varsity Basketball Front row: Marc Smith, Brad Reese, Jeff Owen, Mike Morrissey, David Spickard, Demetri Patikas, Emmett Russell, Patrick Roberts Back row: Coach Bennett, Coach Thoni, Coach Downey, James Gooch, Drew Robison, Bo Healy, Alden Smith, Sterling Price, Drew Nored, Robbie Westermann, Matt Williams The 1987-88 Varsity Basketball team began the year with many questions that needed to be answered. First of all, the loss of coach Mark Elliot during the summer forced Mr. Bennett to come out of retirement for one more season as Head Coach, a position he held for the better part of two decades. Second, could the eight seniors on the team repeat the magic they used to win the district title as freshmen. In addition to the eight seniors, the rest of the team included three juniors and one sophomore. The team opened the season against a very tall and very talented team from Cookeville. The lack of practice, as well as the absence of Marc Smith and David Spickard, proved to be detrimental to MBA as they were soundly defeated. That game was followed by an early district game against Whites Creek in which the team showed remarkable improvement, but still lost by two points. By Christmas, however, the team had evened its record at 5-5 and had an impressive 3-1 record in the district. During the holidays, the team went into a slump, losing its next four games. They were forced to make some changes and some new commitments before they hit an important stretch of district games. Playing with a new determination, they were able to win their next nine games, including a four-point victory over Whites Creek which gave them the district lead. They clinched the district title against arch-rival Father Ryan, and so the team entered the District 1 1-AAA tournament as the 1 seed. They defeated Hillsboro in the semi-finals, setting up a third meeting with Whites Creek in the finals. In this game the team played their finest game of the season. Their balanced offense and intense defense gave the Big Red their first district championship since the ’60’s. Brad Reese, Marc Smith, and Mike Morrissey were named to the All- Tournament team. The team then prepared for the Region 6 tournament the following week. They were paired against Stratford, a team that had beaten MBA the last four times they had met. Marc Smith’s consecutive three- point shots opened up a close game and gave MBA a berth in the semi-finals against Maplewood for a berth in the sub-state. Maplewood jumped out to an early lead, and the Big Red could never catch up and saw their season end with a 17-11 record. This year’s team will be remembered as one that came back from adversity to bring the district title back to MBA. Their determination and competitive nature should establish a pattern for future teams to follow. 162 163 Goldenthroats of MBA basketball Spick concentrates on the basket Brad’s four arms enabled him to be the city’s leading three-point shooter Scrapper — one of Nashville’s best basketball players I 164 JV Basketball During the 1987-1988 season, the JV basketball team compiled a respectable 5-6 mark. Although plagued by injuries most of the year, the team was able to beat quite a few good ball clubs. The season opened with a road loss to Overton 45-54 in which the team picked up some experience on the court. The Big Red fell next to Hillsboro 54-56, but the Red put up a miraculous effort to try to take the game under the leadership of Al- den Smith and James Gooch. BGA, the next foe of the team, felt the wrath and anger that had built in the last two games in a 77-62 loss to the merciless Red. The JV team took its 1-2 record into games with Pearl-Cohn and Stratford. On both oc- casions, the team fell down in awe of the mighty athletes of the opposing teams. Pearl-Cohn threw off the rapacious Red 52-50, and Stratford tamed the wild team in a 73-43 victory that left the team reeling. Although distraught, the wounded team rebounded in a 50-45 dismissal of Hunter’s Lane and a 63-49 mauling of the Evil Empire Father Ryan. The Big Red returned to the battlefield and found themselves on the short end of the stick once again in a 45-80 defeat against Overton and also in a second loss to Hillsboro 90-6 1 . The J V revived itself from the ashes to play Antioch in a 48-46 victory in which the Red destroyed every attempt of the vicious foe to win the game. The team moved into its post-season play in the “Hendersonville Invitational B-Team Tournament.” The Big Red sent Clarksville to the showers in a 67-57 defeat in the first round but fell victim to the strong Gallatin team. The team competed this season with Coach Ken Downey at the helm. The season did establish Mike Seshul, Drew Robison, James Gooch, Bo Healy, and Harrison Shull as the leaders of next year’s varsity team and allowed sophomores like Matt Fisher, Rob Murphy, Kevin King, Jay Gilliland, Richard Arendale, and Alden Smith to gain some valuable experience on the court. 167 Freshman Basketball First row: Taylor Mayes, Keith Ikard, Jeff Goidel, Alex Waddey, Jason Ritchason, Charlie Bryan; Second row: Walter Southwood, Tate McDaniel, Chros Vlahos, Brian Norment, Todd Foust, Richard Cummins Vlahos dazzles defenders The 1987-88 Freshman Basketball team headed into the season with high hopes. With ten players returning from last year’s HVAC championship team and the addition of three new faces, the Frosh looked to improve greatly over last year’s finish. Under the capable guidance of Coach Fred Forehand, the team consisting of Michael Brooks, Richard Cummins, Todd Foust, Jeff Goidel, Keith Ikard, Taylor Mayes, Tate McDaniel, Brian Normant, Jason Ritchason, Walter Southwood, Chris Vlahos, Alex Waddey, and Charlie Joe Williams headed into regular season play. After an easy victory over Davidson Academy, the Frosh headed out to play district powerhouse Whites Creek. MBA hung close the whole game but recorded its first loss as it was unable to hold off the powerful Whites Creek team. Unshaken, the team went on to win its next eight games, climaxing in a stunning victory over top-ranked Pearl-Cohn. At this point, however, disaster struck, for leading scorer Tate McDaniel and Jeff Goidel both were put out for the season as a result of injuries. In their next game, the team fell to talented Whites Creek without the support of McDaniel and Goidel. Once again, however, the team rebounded and thrashed Overton bn their home court thanks to season-high performances by Walter Southwood and Richard Cum- mins. In their next game against Hillwood that would decide the regular season champion, the Frosh came up short despite Taylor Mayes’ 16 points. Thoughts of a second straight championship for this class danced in their heads as they went head-to-head with Glencliff for the first round of the tournament. Although Michael Brooks and Chris Vlahos both played well and Chris was named to the All-Tournament team, the team did not play up to its potential and thus fell to Glencliff. This year’s team had a successful season overall with the help of Coach Forehand and look forward to making future contributions to the MBA Varsi- ty basketball program. 168 Microbe Basketball Back: Coach Moxley, Brent Miller, Ryan Tyrrell, Paul Moser, R. A. Dickey, Joe Underwood, Ray Brooks, Glenn Harris, Jackson Wray, Ben Nimmo, Will Berry, Coach Thoni Front: Flagg Youngblood, Malcolm Sewell, John Arendale, Andy Russ, David Fitzgerald, Trent Batey, Matthew Simpson, Jody Cummings, Andy Anderton The 1987-88 Microbes finished with a successful 10-6 record and a 3-3 count in the HVAC. They began the year with the prestigious Overbrook Classic. The Little Red finished runner-up to Sycamore in an overtime game in which they were outmanned greatly. The microbes scored an upset against Brent- wood 34-31 at midseason and defeated a strong BGA team in OT 41-34. MBA showed they could stay on the court with the best by losing to eventual champ Brentwood Academy by only three points. The Little Red beat rival FRA twice by margins of 20 points or more each time. The microbes entered the HVAC tournament with confidence that they could play with or beat anybody. In the quarterfinals, MBA beat BGA 37-34 in what was probably the thriller of the year by fighting back from a 14 point deficit. However, the Red suffered a heartbreaking loss to Ensworth in the semis. On a positive outlook, Glenn Harris represented MBA on the all-tournament team after recording a 21 -point performance. Throughout the year Glenn Harris paced the team with 14 points a game. Jackson Wray was the leading rebounder all year and was the “defensive stopper” of the microbes. He set the tone all year for the team with his defensive prowess and aggressiveness. David Fitzgerald handled the point guard duties with help from R. A. Dickey who was the leading three-point shooter all year. All of these consistent contribu- tors provided great leadership throughout the season. Promising seventh grad- ers R. A. Dickey, John Arendale, and Andy Russ should provide a nucleus for a strong team next year. Coaches Thoni and Moxley were the key in keeping such good chemistry all year long. 169 Varsity Wrestling Top row: Greg Pearson, Chad Enders, Stephen Sowell, Todd Wise, Chet Frist, Billy Crawford, Billy Lyell; Middle row: Chris Horstmann, Sheldon Griffin, Peter Dudley, David Trainer, John Bass, Matt Bumstead, Robert Echols; Bottom row: William Hastings, Kevin Kimery, David Neff, Caleb Ludwick, Greg Downer, Seth Asher; Not pictured: Renard Francois Although the 1987-88 season was to be a rebuilding year, the Big Red wrestling team had a very successful season under the leadership of coaches Killian and Streed. This year saw the loss of such greats as Trajan Carney, Frank Downey, Robert Rollins, and Billy Frist (to a football injury), as well as others who had increased the depth of the team. The team was composed mostly of sophomores and juniors with only five seniors. Nevertheless, the grapplers proved their prowess in a difficult field, placing third in the dual meet district (the only district losses were to Franklin and Hillwood) and posting strong dual meet victories at the Cleveland Duals (3-1 record). Whites Creek, and Brentwood Academy (the first victory over the Eagles in at least six years). On the individual circuit, MBA started slowly. Starting for the Big Red at various times throughout the year were Caleb Ludwick and William Hastings at 103 pounds, John Bass at 112, co-captain Greg Downer at 119, Chris Ciggaran at 125, co-captain Chad Enders at 130, Matt Bumstead, Peter Dudley, and Robert Echols at 135, Chet Frist at 140, Billy Crawford and Billy Lyell at 1 45, co-captain Steve Sowell at 1 52, David Trainer at 1 62, Sheldon Griffin and Todd Wise at 171, Dan Brooks at 189, and Renard Francois as the first MBA Heavyweight in six years. At the Overton tournament, Sowell placed third and Downer fourth. As the pace quickened, the Ryan tournament found Downer, Enders and Frist fourth; Bass and Trainer third; and Sowell second, all medal-winners. Then the Big Red rallied as the team entered the District tournament. Nine members qualified for the Region, and the team placed an outstanding second. Placing were Ciggaran, Downer, and Griffin, fourth; Brooks, Echols, Frist, and Sowell, third; Bass, second, and Enders first. Though not as impressive, the Region went well as Chet Frist narrowly missed reaching the State Tournament (only 6 places go) and the two remaining seniors qualified, Chad Enders third and Steve Sowell sixth. Unfortunately, neither placed in the state; but MBA looks forward to definite success next season with the return of Billy Frist to the lineup and the experience gained by the nine starters who will be returning. 170 The energetic, talented cheerleders: Top row (from left to right): Allison Williams, Olivia Daane, Anne Hightower, Eve Robinson; Bottom row: Francis Shear, Catherine Creagh (co- captain), Kara Sitton (co-captain) 173 Freshman Wrestling First row: Dudley Hammond, David Frazier, Geoffrey Leek, Peter Shim, Bryan Bleecker; Second row: Luke Davis, Lance Carney, Keith McCarty, Robert Echols, Mark Kerrigan, Carter Baker; Third row: Anthiny Albrecht, John Butler, Tab Burkhalter, Eric Crawford, Frank Bass Under the guidance of the wise coach Anderson Gaither and the support of coach Stephen Streed, the 1987-88 Freshman Wrestling team had a very successful year. With no returning starters from last year’s Regional Championship team, the freshmen were still able to finish a strong second place in this year’s regionals. In the beginning of the season, the Frosh finished second place in a very tough McGavock Tournament, and they went on to earn a 9-3 dual meet record with a third place finish in the Overton Dual Meet tournament. The strong freshman team was led by Robert Echols who was undefeated and earned first place in the Regional Tournament. Robert Echols and Keith McCarty, who finished second in the regionals, were co-captains. Along with Keith, Eric Crawford and Lance Carney finished second in the region. David Frazier, Dudley Hammond, and John Butler won third place medals. However, all the strength of the team is not shown in the starters, for the non-starters provided the competition in practice to push the starters toward excellence. In many cases, the second-stringers were edged out by only one or two points for the starting positions. Justin Maestas, Carter Baker, Geoffery Leek, Spencer Leek, Brian Bleecker, and Luke Davis represent the persevering second stringers. However, the freshmen owe a large part of their success to the coaching and challenging conditioning of Mr. Gaither. The freshmen worked very hard to attain their success, for they devoted three hours a day to wrestling practice. The future for the freshmen is bright with returning wrestlers: Eric Crawford, Clay Hannard, Bo Barthalomew, David Frazier, Carter Baker, Tad Martin, Mark Szydlo, and Geoffrey Leek who have already contributed a great deal to the wrestling program. The rising freshmen should also contribute a great deal to varsity wrestling. In conclusion, the 1987-88 freshmen enjoyed a great dv:al of well-deserved success, and next year’s freshmen intend to maintain the high quality of junior high wrestling at MBA. Microbe Wrestling Back: Mark Szydlo, Robert Howell, Tab Burkhaller, Justin Crosslin, William Rice; Middle: Shannon Durrett, Andy Ward, Mike Gavigan, John Arendale, Eric Crawford, Carter Baker; Front: Jeremy Derryberry, Jody Cummings, Chris Peebles, David Frazier, Geoffrey Leek The 1987-88 Microbe Wrestling team finished a tough dual meet season with a fifth place finish in the HVAC tournament. The wrestlers who placed were David Frazier and Mark Szydlo with fourth places, Carter Baker with third place, and Eric Crawford with a second place finish. The beginning of the season looked promising, but since this team was plagued with injuries (Bo Bartholomew and John Arendale were among the many) the dual meet record suffered. This team should provide many promising wrestlers for the freshman and varsity programs, such as Geoffrey Leek, Andy Ward, and those wrestlers already mentioned. However, this beneficial season could not have been accomplished without the good help of coaches Gaither and Streed. Hockey The MBA ice hockey team finished the year with a 1-2-1 mark. The team began the year with a loss to Father Ryan, but in their next game they evened their record by defeating Hillwood. MBA then prepared for a rematch with Father Ryan, a team that had beaten MBA for the past three years. MBA fielded a tough first line against Ryan composed of veterans Jeff Lundstrom and Thomas Carlton on wings, De Thompson at center, Willie Johnson and Jon Nameth on defense, and Trever Edwards in the goal. The second line was headed up by the skilled Brian Charrington at center, Chris Cigarran and Chris Shea on wings, and Jon Winston and Kirke Martin on defense. The game started out well for MBA, but things took a turn for the worse and MBA stood in defeat 9-5 when the final horn sounded. At 8:00 the next morning, a partial team assembled on the ice to fight their final bat- tle against the Nashville High School team under the Hillwood flag. Even though outnumbered by the skilled Hillwood team, MBA was able to keep the lead most of the game but was unable to stop Hillwood from making a third period comeback to tie the game at 8-8. The team’s chances next year are promising in that only one player, senior Trever Edwards, is leaving. Under the leadership of De Thompson, Jon Nameth, Jeff Lundstrom, and Brian Charrington, the MBA ice hockey team should produce a strong and well-respected team next year. 175 Varsity Baseball Grantland Rice The worn, embattled squad sat silently on the outfield grass, mourning over Head Coach Fred Forehand’s post-game 1 words. The team had just lost a marathon, three-and-a-half hour battle to Ryan, 6-5. The players tried to forget their 5-4 I lead from the seventh inning, their numerous errors, and their men left on base throughout the game. They also tried to for- [ get the “sec ya’s” they heard often during the game, and they tried to ignore their players’ remarks, “Sec ya! . . . and we’ll I get you next time, too.” Yet, as the dust settled and the fans left the park, the Big Red marched off the field, knowing how | they had played the game, their heads held high in pride ... Such was the fortune of the Varsity Baseball team this spring. Of the team’s 8-7 district record, four of the losses were by two runs or less. They finished 9-9 overall and third place in the district. The team was led by coach Fred Forehand and as- sistant coaches Ken Downey and Damon Regen, as well as the seven seniors throughout the season. Jim Norris hurled MBA to an opening-day win over Hillsboro, 6-3. The team then lost to Hillwood 9-5 and trounced Whites Creek 15-5. The Red then lost to Stratford 9-8 despite home runs by Reese, Owen, and Smith. After a 10-2 win over Beech, with Norris upping his record to 3-0, the team suffered a humiliating loss to Overton, 1 1-2. Junior Doug Miles then hurled the Red to a 19-4 trounce of Pearl-Cohn, followed by the 6-5 loss to Ryan. Junior Brooks Smith rapped a cru- cial two-run single late in the game against Ryan to put MBA up 5-4 as well as filling in admirably at catcher for the in- jured Marc Smith. After being down 5-0 to Hillsboro, the team came back to win 9-7, with eighth-grader Tiger Harris getting the game- winning hit and junior Forrest Conner going 3-ffor-4. They then lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to Hillwood, followed by another loss to Overton, this time 10-2. . 176 Front row: Mike Morrissey, Jim Harwell, Jeff Owen, Richard Arendale, Michael Brooks, Kevin King, Matt Williams Back row: Brooks Smith, Forest Conner, Marc Smith, Jim Norris, Jay Ferguson, Brad Reese, Doug Miles For when that one Great Scorer Comes to mark against your name. He writes not that you won or lost But how you played the game That loss to Overton was followed by three straight wins. The first was an 1 1-4 win over Pearl-Cohn. The next was another come-from-behind victory, this one over Whites Creek 10-6. Sophomore Kevin King relieved senior Matt Williams on the mound to take the win, and fellow sophomore Jay “Fozzie” Ferguson was brilliant at the plate, going 4-for-4 with two dou- bles. The third was an avenging win over Ryan as Norris again pitched a great game. In the playoffs, MBA would have to win all three of their games against Overton, Hillwood, and Ryan, and Hillwood would have to lose all three of their games if the Big Red were to go to the Region. In the first game, Norris again pitched well and Reese had two doubles, but the team lost to Overton 4-2. A narrow, 5-4 loss to Hillwood followed, despite catcher Marc Smith’s three-run double in the top of the seventh that put MBA up 4-3. The season ended on a more positive note with a 3- 1 victory over Ryan as King hurled a three-hitter. Reese led the team with a .426 average: 21-61 after a torrid 1 7-26 start, 24 RBI, and nine doubles. Owen batted .42 1 , 24- 57, and Morrissey hit at a .41 3 clip, 26-63, after a 1 6-28 start. Marc hit .366 (.450 in the last nine games) with three home runs. Norris led the city in innings with 68, and finished with a 6-5 record and a 2.47 ERA. Four of those five losses were by two runs or less (6-5, 1-0, 4-2, 5-4). King was king of the mound, finishing 2-1, with 0.74 ERA despite not possessing a curve ball. Also lettering were sophomores Richard Arendale (third base) and Scott Burrow (catcher), and freshman Michael Brooks (catcher, third base). . . . Even though MBA leads Ryan during their second meeting of the season, the calls of “see ya” continue after each inning, while composure and sportsmanship is evident from the MBA dugout. With two out in the bottom of the seventh, Norris faces the Ryan catcher with two men on, and MBA up 4-2, one out away from victory. The Ryan catcher hits the ball well but the Big Red makes the play and wins the game. As the Ryan player’s frustration shows, and as the dust settles and the fans leave the park, the Big Red marches off the field, knowing how they had played the game, their heads held high in pride. . . . and Norris delivers the pitch Marc gives the signal . . . 177 JV Baseball First row: David Daniels, De Thompson, Billy Crawford, Will Chapman, Michael Brooks; Second row: Jay Ferguson, Kevin King, Richard Arendale, Chris Vlahos, Scott Burrow, Glenn Harris Despite many rain-outs and cancellations, the 1 988 Junior Varsity Baseball team enjoyed a season of success. Under the excellent coaching of Ken Downey and assistant Da- mon Regen, this year’s team compiled a record of 4-1-1. The season began with a tie against Brentwood High, in which Doug Miles, a member of the varsity rotation, threw five excellent innings. Although the Junior Red trashed several hits against the Bruins, the game ended in an 8-8 draw. The Red’s only loss followed in the next game against the Mustangs of David Lipscomb. With changes in the lineup, MBA then defeated Hillsboro 12-7 in the following game. The offense continued to be on fire with hits by Michael Brooks, Scott Burrow, Glenn Harris, and David Daniels. The Junior Varsity continued with a sweep of a double header against Beech High later in the week. In the first game, “Tiger” Harris hurled a great game as M BA won 3-2. The second game allowed Kevin King, who later joined the varsity staff, to pitch a strong game as the team won 4-3. The team ended its season with a 9-8 victo- ry over Battle Ground Academy. Tiger Harris returned with another excellent pitching performance, and Richard Arendale and Billy Lyell cracked two line drives off the fence. Other contributing members include Joe Under- Taking a break during practice in Florida wood, Chris Vlahos, and Billy Crawford. With the gradu- ation of several starting seniors, the Junior Varsity should have the opportunity to start as varsity members next year. 180 i Microbe Baseball Back: Will Berry, Bo Bartholomew, David Corts, Ben Nimmo, Coach Thoni, John Teeter, Eric Crawford, Brent Miller, Ryan Tyrrell, R. A. Dickey; Front: Jason Willis (manager), Greg Holyfield, Jody Commings, John Arendale, Stephen Phillips, Michael Ligon, Trent Batey, Tom Springer The 1988 Microbe Baseball team will go down as one of the best ever. The Little Red began the season with three straight wins including a gratifying win over rival FRA. The Little Red then put their undefeated record on the line at Northside and came up short in an action packed 16-13 thriller. After that, behind the leadership of Coach Joe Thoni, the Little Red rallied to go undefeated the rest of the year and claim the H VAC title on the last day of the season in an exciting 3-1 win over Arch-rival Ensworth. The team was paced throughout the year by the pitching of John Teeter and R. A. Dickey and the powerful hitting of Eric Crawford and Ryan Lynell. Ben Nimmo had an exceptional year at catcher, routinely throwing ou t would- be base-stealers. Infielders David Corts and Brent Miller anchored down the defense along with Will Berry. Re- turnees for next year’s team are Will Berry, R. A. Dickey, and shortstop John Arendale. 181 Varsity Soccer Front: Chas Hewgley, Drew Heitzler, Justin Maestas, Chris Hall, Willie Johnson, Drew Healy, John Ford, Pat Harkleroad, Brett Stahlman, Bobby LaBrec, Jim Morehead Back: John Lanier, Brad Bishop, Chris Shea, John Smithwick, Josh King, Mark Lavigne, Leonard Warren, John Koon, Rob Murphy, Brandon Daniel, David Fletcher, David Bobo, Tom Gutow, David Mikell The Varsity Soccer team completed its season, having reached the region semi- finals, with a record of 6-7- 1 . The team fought hard to make it a winning season, but came up a little short in the end. The season, however, was not quite so gloomy as the record may portray it to be. A number of outstanding players added success to the team. David Fletcher — the MVP for the season, leading goal scorer with eight goals and four assists, and a good possibility to make all-state — led this group. Chris Hall, the second leading goal scorer, and Tom Gutow, a strong defender, also had good years. Willie Johnson had a fine year in goal with a brilliant shutout versus McGavock and an excellent game against Overton, both in the Region tournament. David Bobo also played well this year, especially in the tournament match against McGavock, in which he scored the only goal for the win. The team this year was a relatively young one with four sophomores and one freshman, Justin Maestas, a powerhouse of the midfield, starting most of the games. Brett Stahlman, one of the sophomores, was brilliant in the match versus Hillsboro, heading in the only goal for the win. Another promising sophomore was John Ford, who scored the winning goal against Clarksville with scant seconds left in the game. The team will lose only four starters to graduation, which should give Coach Lanier a chance at developing the young talent. In hindsight, the season was one of ups and downs. One thing is for certain, though: this team worked hard and showed a great amount of dedication throughout the whole year, and because of their hard work and their desire to do well, this team was definitely successful. 182 m y ' I? V 184 Microbe Soccer Back: Jeremy Stone, Trent Batey, Matthew Simpson, Derek Van Mol, Paul Moser, Eric Ericson, Sean Murphy, D.J. Salinas, Trip McLaughlin, Andy Russ, Kyle Smithson, Coach Lanier; Front: Ben Curtis, Warren Conally, David Wyckoff, Andy Stoll, Michael Ligon, Kirke Martin, Julian Bibb, Matt Zibas, Hal Pickel, Wesley Schiel The Microbe Soccer team had a successful season under the excellent leader- ship of Coach Lanier. The team compiled a 7-4- 1 record and finished second in the HVAC tournament. Under the leadership of captains Eric Ericson and Andy Stoll, the team had impressive victories over Ensworth, BGA, and Page during the regular season, including a 3-2 comeback victory over BGA. Going into the HVAC tournament, MBA was seeded third. They faced Grassland in the first round, and they avenged an earlier loss to Grassland in an exciting 1-0 win in which the only goal was scored by Andy Russ in a shootout. MBA then went on to face Brentwood Middle School in the championship, and although the Big Red played well, they fell just short with a 1-0 loss to the Vikings. Several players played key roles in the success of this year’s team. Michael Ligon and seventh grader Kirke Martin played well at goal this season; An- dyRuss, Andy Stoll, and Trent Batey led the explosive offense; and Eric Ericson, Paul Moser, and Warren Connally baffled opponents with their tal- ented defense. With the return of many key seventh graders to next year’s squad, the future of Microbe Soccer looks very bright. 185 Varsity Golf Front: Will Van Derveer, Michael Shears, Rhoads Hall, Robbie Westermann Back: Jay McKnight, Rick Barksdale, Steve Matthews, Jim Norris, Ward Chaffin; Not pictured: Brannan Atkinson The 1 987-88 Varsity Golf team was one that will always be remembered by those involved in the successful season. The team had all five of its players returning and a berth to the TSSAA State High School Golf Tournament seemed inevitable. The team started the season with a victory over Father Ryan shooting a ten-over par total of 154. The team’s members felt they could play better, however. They did. In a match against Franklin, MBA posted an incredible one-over par total of 145. This year’s team compiled regular season record of 17-1 as different people represented MBA in matches. The top five plaers who would represent the team in post-season play were seniors Michael Shears, Jay McKnight, Brannan Atkinson, and Robbie Westerman, as well as junior Rhoads Hall. The team began their quest for the state title with a win in the district tournament defeating its closest competitor, Hillsboro, by 59 strokes. Brannan Atkinson and Rhoads Hall led the Big Red with a pair of three-over par scores of 75. Shears shot 76 and McKnight shot 78 for a team total of 304. The following week, the team went to the region where the Big Red had to face the only team that had beaten them all year — Franklin Road Academy. After nine holes of play in the eighteen-hole tournament, MBA had only a four shot lead. However, the Big Red fought hard down the stretch to edge FRA. Individ- ual scores were McKnight, Hall, and Atkinson with 78’s and Shears with an 80. The next week the team traveled to Henry Horton State Park for the state tournament. On the first day, MBA “linksters” struggled to shoot a total of 330 which placed MBA in a tie for fourth. Being thirteen shots out of first place, the team sensed disaster. That night the Big Red had to decide whether to give up or whether to go down fighting — the decision was unanimous. With rejuvenated spirits, MBA made a charge at the goal that had been barely slipping away. Shooting a strong final day team total of 309 (the best one-day total of the tournament) the Big Red closed the gap on all but one. On the final day, MBA had passed three teams and gained seven shots on the eventual winner Memphis Briarcrest. It seems only fair to congratulate seniors Michael Shears, Jay McKnight, and Brannan Atkinson who truly showed tremendous leadership as they brought home the 1987 TSSAA State Runner-Up trophy to “the Hill.” 186 Varsity Tennis Front: Andy Underwood, Bill Cherry, Frank Drowota; Back: Leighton Thomas, Sharpe Belote, Sterling Price, Arthur Henderson The 1 988 tennis team had a season that could be defined as both successful and disappointing. As expected, they won both the district and regional titles; however, the loss of two key players from last year’s state title team was evident as the team’s dual match record slipped to a disappointing 10-5. This year’s team had several good players but lacked tough tournament experience as only one player had ever competed in a state tournament. The top seven on this year’s team were seniors Sterling Price and Arthur Henderson; juniors Bill Cherry, Frank Drowota, and Andy Underwood; and sophomores Leighton Thomas and Sharpe Belote. Backing up the starters were several good underclassmen who will play important roles in the years to come. The first major test for this year’s team came in the 32nd annual Rotary Tournament in Chattanooga. The Big Red played well, despite some questionable draws. Underwood and Price advanced to the semi-finals, while defending state champion Cherry brought home the § singles crown with three impressive victories over some of the best players in the south. Overall, the team finished in third place out of eight quality teams. After a disappointing finish in MBA’s Carter Invitational, the team prepared itself for the District tournament at MBA. Representing the Big Red were Bill Cherry and Arthur Henderson in singles and the teams of Underwood Drowota and Thomas Belote in the doubles competition. Both finals pitted MBA vs MBA. In the finals. Cherry defeated Henderson in an exciting match 6-4, 7-5. In the doubles final Thomas Belote were victorious in a tough three-set match. 188 By winning the district title, the team advanced to the regional team semi-finals against FRA. The Big Red played extremely well and defeated the Rebels 5-0. In the final, MBA was scheduled to meet Whites Creek, but the Cobras were forced to forfeit the region title to the Big Red because of the use of an illegal player in their semi-final win. This win gave the team a berth in the sub-state round against Hendersonville. Once again MBA exhibited its dominance over mid-state teams with another 5-0 shutout. In the “Final Four,” MBA met Memphis University School. In this match the magic ended for the Big Red as they were defeated 4-1 in the best of seven match. By losing in the semi-finals, the team finished the year as either the third or fourth best team in the state. In the individual Region tournament. Cherry won his third consecutive Regional title. In the doubles final it was once again MBA vs MBA and once again Thomas Belote defeated Underwood Drowota in an exciting three-set struggle. These five players moved on to the state tournament which was run separately from the team state tournament. Unfortunately, both doubles teams were defeated in the first round. That left only Cherry who was trying to win his third straight state title. He began in impressive fashion by winning his first round match to advance to the long-awaited rematch with Matt Turner. Supported by a vocal crowd. Cherry won the first set 6-4. In the second set. Cherry led 2-1 when the crowd got to Turner. He responded with a series of obscene gestures directed at the MBA crowd, and he was then pulled off the court by his coach and father because of his actions. In the semi-finals. Cherry won an extremely exciting match to give him the opportunity to defend his title in the final. His opponent in the final was Germantown s Chip Sterns. In another close match, fatigue, cramps and the big serve of Sterns were too much for Cherry to overcome as he was defeated 4-6, 6-2, 3-6 in front of another vocal and pro-MBA crowd. Next year’s team will once again lose two seniors and will have to look to several younger players to fill this void. Hopefully the streaks of District and Regional titles will not be broken and Cherry will be able to regain his state title. Microbe Tennis Top: Mr. Moxley, David Fitzgerald, Greg Jones, Eric Ericson, Jackson Wray, Roy Alley; Bottom: Willaim Rice, Andy Stoll, Malcolm Sewell, Ben Curtis, Matthew Simpson The Microbe Tennis team is, as many of the MBA teams this year have been, the best in recent history. They have played well and have amassed a perfect record in team wins. These boys have a good future as a solid back- up to the present Varsity as they become freshmen. The team has been led by Andy Stoll, who had an undefeated record, Jackson Wray, and David Fitzgerald. In addition, Malcolm Sewell and Roy Allen ( 1 doubles) and Matthew Simpson and Eric Ericson ( 2 doubles), completed this incredible group of athletes. The alternates include Greg Jones, Ben Curtis, and William Rice. The Little Red’s season began with a clean sweep of all five matches played against FRA. The team continued the 5-0 match record as they defeated Brentwood Middle School, BGA, Brentwood Academy, and Ensworth. Although Baylor is a major force in tennis, their junior high team fell to the MBA Microbes, who defeated them 13-1. Morever, the Little Red defeated Baylor a second time at Baylor 12-2. The tennis team finished the season with an undefeated record as they claimed victories over McCallie 15-0 and Mt. Juliet 9-0. They finished the regular season having won 74 out of 77 individual matches. 190 Varsity Track Front row: Rabin Nimmo, Rob Archer, Alden Smith, Andy Patterson, Chad Enders, Tommy Vandever, Jason Burroughs; Middle row: Renard Francois, Keith Ikard, James Gooch, Rob Barrett, Richard Speight, Lanson Hyde, Kurt Gilliland, Steve Jobe, Casey Jones, Jason West; Top row: Jay Joyner, Worcester Bryan, Michael McNally, Demetri Patikas, Emmett Russell, Steve Zibas, Todd Wise, Alex Waddey, Dan Brooks, Edgar Bueno Once in a blue moon a group of people comes along and stuns everybody with their success of defying the odds. Such was the case for the 1988 Varsity Track team. This team was by far MBA’s best ever. The squad of 33 members managed to place fourth or better in every meet they ran in this year, but the real accomplishment was winning the Region III-AA Championship. Throughout the entire season each individual runner and relay team showed signs of greatness. The highlight of the year came on Friday night, May 6. Every coach in Nashville expected MBA’s track team to win the Region, and they did in great style. Demetri Patikas and Michael McNally placed second in the shot put and pole vault, re- spectively, and their performances qualified them for the State Meet. Steve Zibas also qualified for the state meet by placing first in the 1600 and breaking his own school record with 4:22.7. Emmett Russell placed third in the long jump and high jump and Edgar Bueno placed sixth in the discus. During the course of the meet the relay team of McNally, Patikas, Russell and Barrett broke the previous school record in the 400 M relay with a time of 43.4 seconds. The 800 M relay team of McNally, Patikas, Russell, and Alden Smith broke the school record with a time of 1:30.7, but the meet was captured with the gallant and courageous effort of the two-milers. Steve Zibas won the 3200 M to tie Hunters Lane, but Keith Ikard and Casey Jones clinched the victory by placing in the top six. The meet was now firmly in the hands of MBA, but the relay team of Barrett, Russell, Patikas, and Alden Smith broke one more school record in the 1 600 M relay while placing fourth with a time of 3:25.3. The last meet of the year found three of MBA’s 33 present at the State Meet. Demetri Patikas was recognized as one of the top eight shot putters in the state of Tennessee. McNally placed third in the pole vault and extended his own record to 14’. Finally, MBA’s heartthrob, Steve Zibas, placed fourth in the 1600 M. Not satisfied with his performance he went out and ran a strong 3200 M and won the race. He and the rest of the 1 000-plus crowd was shocked to discover that he had been dis- qualified for possibly stepping on the little yellow line. Still, Steve was first in the hearts and minds of all at MBA. During the final week of track, Emmett Russell and James Gooch represented MBA in the State Decathalon for the second year. Finally, the five seniors: Michael McNally, Emmett Russell, Demetri Patikas, Rob Barrett, and Steve Zibas all received Coach’s awards in track. Together they compiled over half of the team’s total points. These five and the rest of the class will certainly be missed, but the future of the MBA track team looks very promising. 191 PEDFDRMANCE Freshman Track First row: Brad Downs, Keith Ikard, Alex Waddey, Keith McCarty, Logan Fortner; Second row: Lance Carney, Brian Norment, Casey Jones, George Rietz, Graham McRedmond, Rob Lance; Third row: Jeff Buntin, Walter Southwood, Cabot Hyde, Martin Jones, Phillip Avant, Cary Brothers; Fourth row: Luke Davis, Taylor Mayes, Dudley Hammond, Richard Fitzgerald, Jeff Dunkerley, Daniel Cheek, Matt Poe, John Schweikert The 1 988 freshman track team was very successful posting a 5-0 record and claiming first place in the city meet. Alex Waddey, who led the team by scoring 109 out of 544 points, was the city high jump champion with a jump of six feet. He also placed in the city long jump, 200, and 100, where he set a freshman record of 1 1 .4 seconds. The throwing events were handled by Matt Poe (43’ in the shotput) and Adin Lara (128’ in the discus), while Robert Echols continued the MBA pole vault tradition by win- ning the city meet with a vault of 10’6”. Keith Ikard and Casey Jones led the frosh by running consistent sub-5-minute miles and by contributing to the 4x800 relay, along with Rob Lance, Micah Bennett, and George Rietz. The spring relays were usu- ally composed of Hyde, McCarty, Avant, and Waddey. Walter Southwood excelled as MBA’s 400 meter dash man, while Dud- ley Hammon came through as a fine hurdler in the end of the season by finishing fourth in the city. These young “thinly- clads” will definitely add to the success of future varsity teams. 194 Microbe Track Back: Sachin Vaikunth, Justin Crosslin, John Wesley, John Trainer, Jarratt Bell, Tab Burkhalter, Bo Bartholomew, David Wyckoff, Matt Zibas, Ray Brooks, Kirk Brown; Front: Flagg Youngblood, Brandon Hulette, Suresh Gunasekaran, David Frazier, Alan Sundell, Sanjay Shenai, Jason Barton, Bobby Zapf, Flal Pickel This year’s microbe track team had a season of vast improvement. They peaked at the right time with a strong third place finish in the HVAC Relays. The team struggled in the early part of the season. Unsure of who could do what event, coach Gaither reshaped his sprint people and relay team and kept his consistent long distance runners. The meets were always exciting with MBA challenging the competition, and as the season progressed the team’s potential was discovered. Consistent performances were turned in by Carter Baker, Bo Bartholomew, Hal Pickel, and Justin Crosslin, and the spring relays also improved throughout the season. The microbe team finished with a 9-3 regular season record. The season culminated with the HVAC Relays held at the Harpeth Hall track. This meet was filled with some suprising first and second place finishes and some third and fourth place finishes. In the field events. Carter Baker finished first in the high jump and Bo Bartholomew finished first in the shot put. The running events were also successful in the eyes of coach Gaither. Julian Bibb finished fourth in the 400, Hal Pickel finished second in the 800, and Justin Crosslin finished third in the mile. The relays consisted of Andy Russ, Eric Crawford, Paul Moser, and Jackson Wray, and both the 4x100 and 4x200 finished second. It was a productive year, and all the team members worked hard and improved greatly. Thus, the future of next year’s microbe and freshman teams looks very bright and promising. 195 Rifle Team Bottom row: Eric Falk, Hunt Nichols, Jim Abernathy, Thayer Smith; Top row: Greg Parker, Kelsey Fitzpatrick, David Lockyear, Richard Fitzgerald, David Moroney, Todd Anderson, Coach Stevens The MBA Rifle team had a very successful 1987-1988 season. The varsity team members were Hunt Nichols, Eric Falk, Jim Abernathy, Thayer Snith, and alternate David Lockyear. The B-team members were Todd An- derson, Richard Fitzgerald, Kelsey Fitzpatrick, Greg Parker, Bryce Hillis, Johnny Lamb, and David Mor- ony. In all of the three regular season matches, the MBA varsity team placed second; however, MBA cap- tured first in the league championship with team cap- tain Hint Nichols placing first individually as well. In the state meet, Thayer Smith placed fourteenth, Rich- ard Fitzgerald placed eleventh, Jim Abernathy placed third, and veteran state champion Hunt Nichols placed second. In the team competition, the varsity team placed second and the B-team tied for sixth place. With three of the four varsity shooters returning next year, the rifle team expects excellent results in the 1988- 1989 season. 196 Swimming Front row: Brad Bell, Robb Ludwick, Tommy Hayes, Brent Cummings; Second row: Pieter Foster, Scott Yates, Warren Downs; Third row: Tom Benning The 1987-88 MBA Swim Team ended its third successful season this past February. Starting last October, the swimmers began daily practice under Nashville Aquatic Club coaches hoping to surmount last year’s accomplishment of second place in the Mid-State Conference. The MBA team had several dual meets before Christmas, and Father Ryan and Gallatin were unable to beat the well practiced Big Red. After Christmas, the Big Red suffered its only loss to Brentwood High, a team which practices year-round and has several swimmers capable of Junior-Nationals competition. The Conference meet on January 30 was MBA’s opportunity to shine, and the swimmers performed very well. Even after having missed a week of practice because of exams, MBA placed a strong second out of nine participating teams. Earning points for MBA were: Brent Cummings, first in the 100 breast (breaking his own Conference Meet record) and first in the 1 00 fly; co-captain Tommy Hayes, fifth in the 1 00 breast; Pieter Foster, fifth in the 1 00 free and seventh in the 100 back; co-captain Robb Ludwick, third in the 200 IM and fifth in the 100 back; seventh grader Bo Sundius, fifth in the 100 fly; and Tom Benning, fifth in the 500 free. Others participating were Rally Dupps, Donnie Scurlock, Jay Joyner, Allen Sundell, Howard Rietz, Bobby Zapf, Scott Yates, Brad Bell, and Matt Foster. Three weeks later at the State Meet in Knoxville, Brent Cummings placed seventh in the 200 IM and fourth in the 200 breast. Though not officially placing, Ludwick, Hayes, Joyner, Bell, Benning, Yates, and Foster also swam well and posted several personal best times. Each of these first mentioned had to qualify by time at some point during the regular season. All but four swimmers will be returning next year, so a good performance is expected from a team that has gained much. 197 201 Homecoming Homecoming Court: Front Row: Martha-Ashley Fuson, Carter Murray, Ramie Smith, Catherine Creagh, Amy Hendrick, Katherine Kennedy, Lillian Roe; Back Row: Paul Moffat, John Overfield, Rob Archer, Bill Hitt, Jim Norris, Jay Riven, Seth Asher A 1974 Mustang — the ultimate prize for selling the most Spaghetti Supper tickets 203 Assemblies Mrs. Crosslin incites students to sell Spaghetti Supper tickets.

Joe Rodgers, U.S. Ambassador to France 206 Drama Cast members of ARMS AND THE MAN: Prescott Glynn, Robyn Growdon, Sarah Ruccio, Jason West, Jennifer Debs, Richard Speight, Jay Riven; not pictured: Brad Griffin This year, Montgomery Bell Academy’s theater director, Jim Poston, made a change in the year’s annual production; this year, he decided to do a drama instead of a musical. The play he chose was George Bernard Shaw’s comedy ARMS AND THE MAN. The cast consisted of Richard Speight, Jason West, Jay Riven, Prescott Glynn, Sarah Ruccio, Robin Goodwin, and Jennifer Debs. Brad Griffin was also in the play, but he got extremely sick the weekend of the performance and had to be replaced by a quick- thinking Prescott Glynn, who had to perform both Brad’s role and his own. The set was built entirely by Jason West, Prescott Glynn, and Mr. Poston. Overall, the play was a success. True, not many people attended the performances, but that was expected. What wasn’t expected was th e bond formed between the cast members. Together, they put on a successful show and reached personal goals in their acting. If the success of a play can be measured by the fun had by the cast members, then this production couldn’t have been better. 210 Art Shows Every year, under the direction of Jim Womack, MBA hosts a variety of generally well-received art shows for the student body and the public. This year, however, the shows were of exceptional quality. The first show was in late October. It exhibited the portrait sculpture of Elizabeth Early McGaw and the watercolors of Ellen Russell Sadler. The show remained on display in the balcony of the library until November 6. The response to the show was encouraging, but generally the students seemed to prefer the sculpture. In any case, the show was not geared to a youthful audience. In stark contrast was the Myles Maillie exhibit in March. Maillie’s work is typified by wild, extravagant contrasts of form and color, and most people love his work. He is a very public artist, having painted Metro buses, murals, cafes, and other various and sundry things — not to mention his outrageously popular T-shirts and sweat shirts. As expected, the show was an incredible success, arguably the best show that MBA has ever had. The final show was the student art show in May. This was the largest and best student show in many years. Although three of the strongest artists, Sean Dudley, Todd Wise, and David Bobo, have graduated this year, the work of Jim Haynes, Chris Horstmann, David Lockyear, and others promise to provide direction for the future. In all simplicity, the best way to describe the MBA art shows in 1988 is “truly impressive,” or “groovy,” if it strikes your fancy. Prom After two years of planning, financing, and working toward that extravagant social event — the 1988 Prom — the juniors pulled off one of the best dances in MBA history. This year’s bold yet subtle theme “Make Your Date Pay For Dinner” was brilliantly instilled in the set, stage, and all around the gym. The Senior Wall of Fame, an amazing touch added by the five-year and running President Mr. John Smitwick, was inspired and admired by the overcome senior class. A teary-eyed Edgar Bueno said, “I’m touched.” 211 The Weenie Bowl It was a cold and rainy autumn day as the two teams took the field for what was to be hours of long grueling com- bat. The golf team took the early advantage by pinning the cross-country team deep in its own territory thanks to a masterful kickoff by the senior golf star Jim Norris. Two plays later the state runner-up golf team, decked out in the home technicolor jerseys, got to cross-country star Steve Zibas for a safety. After the ensuing punt by the cross-country team, the golf team, led by the strong blocking of junior longsnapper Rick “The Bud Man” Barksdale and fellow trenchman Banks Link, started its long drive toward the opposition’s goal. Quarterback Patrick Keeble repeatedly hit his surehanded receiver core of Jay McKnight, Michael “The Pipe” Shears, Kevin Young, Rhodes Hall, and Steve Mathews for key receptions. Then it was second down and goal to go at the ten when Jim Norris snuck into the endzone past a streaking Jay Binkley on a naked bootleg to in- crease the golf team’s lead. Norris then added the extra point to make the score nine to nothing. On the following kickoff the golf team again pinned the cross country team deep in its own territory. After a quick Jason Burroughs run it looked as if the cross country team was on the move, but the golf team defense quickly toughened under the senior leadership of Ward Chaffin and Will VanDerveer. The golf team defense simply overpowered the smaller cross country team and again received the ball of a Steve Zibas punt. The Linksters again drove down the field despite being hampered by penalties called by Mr. Zaborowski, who willingly refereed the game in the cold, misty weather. Still, the golf team, sparked by excellent blocking by juniors Rhodes Hall and Rick Barksdale, managed to get the ball in scoring position. Unable to penetrate the cross-country team’s tenacious defense, the golf team settled for a Jim Norris field goal that was held by senior Robbie Westermann. The half ended with the golf team leading 12-0. The second half proved much less eventful with neither team being able to score. The cross-country team was continually hampered by the rushing of Ward Chaffin, Rhodes Hall and Rick Barksdale. Despite the leadership of talented quarterback Jason Burroughs and the powerful blockers Keith Ikard, Jay Binkley, and Mr. Pruitt, the cross-country team was unable to score as the day grew colder and darker and the rain continued to fall on the field. Thus, the golf team prevailed for the fourth year in a row, once again proving its dominance over the cross- country team. Bike Race On May 10, eight teams competed in the fifty-lap BELL RINGER Bike Race. Although Kick Axe, composed of Ben Tate, Edgar Bueno, Richard Speight, and John Smithwick claimed victory, the actual winners were Andy Patterson, Lanson Hyde, Brad Bishop, and Chad Enders — known as the Byronic Heroes. The Trukmen, a team of Paul Mof- fat, Rob Archer, Todd Wise, and Kurt Gilliland, claimed victory in the unsanctioned tandem division in which a double-seat bike is used. In spite of al- leged corruption in the lap-counter and Patrick Rob- erts’ bone-crushing wreck, the multitude of specta- tors enjoyed this year’s entertaining bike race. Spring Break Les Voyageurs; top row: Edgar Bueno, James Hill, Kurt Gilliland, Charlie Hailey, Dr. Gaffney, Rebecca the tour guide, George Adams, Mrs. Christeson, Will Van Derveer; bottom row: Steve Anderson, Johnny Lamb, John Overfield, Ward Chaffin Carl Mack — the xylophone player. Organizations Honor Council Front row: Robb Ludwick, Frank Bass, Alex Rice, Steve Jobe; Second row: Logan Fortner, Jay Riven, Billy Crawford, George Clements; Back row: Matt Bumstead, Andy Patterson, George Crawford; not pictured is Junior School representative Jackson Wray The Honor Council is regarded as one of Montgomery Bell Academy’s finest institu- tions. 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 stu- dents elected from each class of the school. There are four senior officers, three juniors, two sophomores, two freshmen, and one Junior School student. This year’s Honor Council was fortunate enough to be under the direction of Mr. Bondurant, who assisted with the offi- cers’ difficult cases. The Honor Council operates by hearing cases brought before it, determining guilt or inno- cence of the accused, and, if the accused is found guilty, declaring a punishment suitable for the offense. The council this year was led by Steve Jobe, Jay Riven, Robb Ludwick, and Alex Rice. 220 Student Council Front row: Nate Sewell, Jim Norris, Richard Speight, Edgar Bueno, David Spickard; Second row: Drew Robison, John Smithwick, John Henry Rice, Billy Frist; Back row: Renard Francois, Dan Brooks, Walter Southwood, Keith McCarty, De Thompson, Tate McDaniel This year was one of great change for the student council. First of all, Richard Speight, MBA’s beloved president, was the shortest, most unathletic president ever to reign, as well as maintaining one of the lowest grade point averages in the history of the office. (He’s not stupid, mind you. It’s just that the previous presidents had extremely HIGH gpa’s.) Also, the other senior officers had one syllsable names Ed (Bueno), vice-president; Jim (Norris), secretary; and Dave (Spickard), treasurer. Odd, isn’t it? The world is a crazy, kooky, kinda place. As far as accomplishments go, this year’s council was very produc- tive. Of course, they continued their work at the soup kitchen, feeding Nashville’s hungry and underpriviledged. More impor- tantly, the council started a project, led by v.p. Edgar Bueno, to add an additional trash can to the lunch room. After weeks of public debates, the council was successful in breaking the two trashcan barrier. Also, this council started a new tradition by being the first to make full use of the wipe-away board in the Roberts Room. This was a group of real trail blazers, wouldn’t you say? All in all, the student council did a very good job in maintaining traditions and creating new ideas. Primarily, a lot of fun was had by all involved. I know for a fact that Richard Speight had a great time and is proud to have held the office of President at so fine a school as Montgom- ery Bell Academy. 221 Totomoi Front row: Jay Riven, Matt Bumstead, Rob Barrett, David Spickard, Jay Knowles, Richard Speight; Back row: Bill Penuel, Kurt Gilliland, Jim Norris, Braxton Perkins, Emmett Russell, Steve Jobe, John Smithwick, Edgar Bueno In 1954, Dr. Richard L. Sager established Totomoi, an honorary fraternity representing the highest achievement of an MBA student. This fraternity was founded with the intent to recognize those students who have achieved excellence in at least three of the following areas: athletics, citizenship, dramatics, forensics, organizations, publications, scholarship, and student government. By upholding the motto of “Honor, Loyalty, and Service,” members of Totomoi serve as model students and citizens to the school and community. Edgar Bueno, Steve Jobe, Jay Knowles, and David Spickard tapped five new members in the winter tappings on March 9. The new members were Braxton Perkins, Kurt Gilliland, Bill Penuel, Rob Barrett, and Richard Speight. The nine students of Totomoi then had the job of honoring six more members during the spring tapping of April 28. Seniors Jim Norris, Jay Riven, and Emmett Russell; juniors Matt Bumstead and John Smithwick were all presented pins for membership into Totomoi. The most applause came with the tapping of Mr. Bondurant. A standing ovation was only fitting for a man who had given so much of himself to MBA. 222 Totomoi had another productive year with deserving students reaching the highest honor on the Hill. This fraternity shows what kind of students and leaders MBA is able to mold and why MBA is so well respected. Service Club Left to right: Seth Asher, Jay Riven, John Israel; Upside-down: Edgar Bueno This year the Service Club enjoyed magnanimous success under the leadership of President Edgar Bueno, Vice- President Seth Asher, Secretary John Israel, and Sergeant-at-Arms Jay Riven. As one of the most important organizations at MBA, this year’s Service Club made tremendous efforts in aiding the school and community. The year began on a promising note with an increase of membership from last year by 1 5 members. A “point” sys- tem was also instilled by Edgar to ensure equal work for all members and an easy way to locate those members who were too shy to volunteer their help. The Service Club started early in the year with the first Varsity football home game. The next big job came with the Belle Meade Mansion Fall Fest. With winter came the Shriner’s Paper Sale, Salvation Army Holiday Distribution, and numerous home basket- ball games. In the course of three hours. Service Club members in Green Hills harassed and awoke enough people to raise $250 for the Paper Sale. The next job was with the Salvation Army, which was, according to Edgar, “the most rewarding work of the Service Club.” Just about all Service Club members were able to see a different sort of holiday season in the Salvation Army Warehouse. The winter also meant basketball games to the Service Club. Coach Bennett was able to concentrate even more on the game plan while knowing ticket sales and gym clean-up would be handled with adeptness and proficiency. With the busiest season ever, the Service Club cruised into the spring season with work already awaiting them. The Service Club was fortunate enough to be part of the first annual Tennessee Society to Prevent Blindness Eye Contest. While the job may have seemed monotonous at times, it did bring a lot of needed awareness to a very seri- ous problem. Once again members had to awaken one early Sunday morning to collect donations for the Palm Sunday Paper Sale to benefit the Childrens’ Hospital. The final job for the Service Club was helping the school hold the TSSAA State Track Meet. Many eager workers helped with ticket sales and program selling. Next year’s Service Club has a hard act to follow, but under George Crawford the members should have no trouble in sustaining the success of this year’s Service Club and continuing the tradition of the MBA Service Club as one of the most productive and respected organizations. Chorus - 0 . The animated chorus entertains a crowd in Wallace Hall Throughout the 1987-88 school year, the mem- bers of the MBA chorus delighted various audi- ences. Under the leadership of director Michael Kemp and accompanist Marion Ross, the chorus rose to new heights. With outstanding senior leadership, including that of most improved cho- rus member Bill Penuel and most outstanding member David Spickard, the group was able to explore new sounds and tougher pieces. The group opened its year with a short program, “A Touch of Love,” which included exciting songs from the ’70’s and some dazzling choreography. The chorus then entertained several groups at Westminster Presbyterian Church with a touch- ing Christmas program, the highlight of the year. Soloists in the concert included Mike Seshul, Brad Griffin, Jeff Owen, Patrick Roberts, Bill Penuel, and piano soloist David Spickard. The chorus then rounded out its year with rousing performances at the Father-Son Banquet and Commencement. The group of between fifty and sixty was chosen from an auditioned core of 1 10 men; one can truly say that this was one of the greatest choruses ever. Cum Laude Left to Right: Charlie Hailey, Bill Penuel, John Hayes, Rob Archer, Jim Norris, Braxton Perkins, Robb Ludwick, Matt Bumstead, Steve Jobe, Jay Binkley, Chas Hewgley, Chad Enders, Brian Hassler, David Chen, Jason Burroughs, David Strayhorn, John Overfield Junior Honor Society Front Row David Wyckoff, David Lott, Seth Robertson; Second Row: Alan Hassler, Eric Falk, Babu Paruchuri; Third Row; Mauro Mastrapasqua, Casey Jones, John Dunkerley, Jackson Wray; Back Row: Wally Jones, Eugene Park, Andy Coulam, Kevin Kruse, John Koon, Brian Norment Cheerleaders Front row: Marsha Ivey, Carter Murray, Cappy Monk, Beth Sullins, Jennifer Rose, Eleanor Jones; Back row: Lyle McDonald, Paul Moffat John Overfield, Bill Hitt, Rob Archer, Park Thomas The 1987-88 Varsity Cheerleaders, behind the able leadership of sponsors Mrs. Ina Hitt and Mrs. Judy Owen, cheered their way through two successful athletic seasons. Although the work was sometimes a little tough, the four captains. Bill Hitt, Beth Sullins, John Overfield, and Cappy Monk always seemed to keep the squad together. 1 The successful cheering would not have been possible this year without the great crowds that attended both the football and basketball games. Although the crowds were lacking at the beginnings of both seasons, they started to pick up when individuals such as Dulla, Bondo, and Chops began to show everyone that the games were the places to be for anyone who is anybody. Next year’s senior class faces a definite challenge of trying to equal the great sup- port shown by this year’s seniors. Debate Front row: Burt Fulmer, Tom Rogers, Braxton Perkins; Middle row: Willie Gray, Bill Sastry, Deepak Raja, George Ewing, Hal Jones, John Butler, Joon-Ho (“Eric”) Yu, Craig Davis, Babu Paruchuri, Eugene Park; Back row: John Lamb, Wally Jones, John Hays, Brad Griffin, Prescott Glynn, Jonathan Reeve Once again, the MBA debate and forensics team enjoyed a very successful year. Under the leader- ship of captain Tom Rogers and co-captains Braxton Perkins and Burt Fulmer, the team fared well in both national and local competitions. MBA’s top varsity teams consistently proved to be among the best in the nation. The top team of Tom Rogers and Braxton Perkins placed second at Wake Forest, fifth at Bronx High School in New York, fifth at St. Mark’s School in Dallas, ninth at Emory University, and first at the Uni- versity of Mississippi. In stiff round robin compe- tition, Tom and Braxton placed fourth in the Glenbrook Round Robin and fifth in the Baylor University Round Robin. Burt Fulmer and Jay Kahlon placed fifth at Wake Forest and fifth at Northwestern. Jonathan Reeve and David Chen won fourth place in a Louisiana Round Robin. Individually, Tom Rogers won second speaker at Baylor and Glenbrook South. Braxton won at the University of Mississippi and Homewood High. 228 Burt was first at Vestavia High, and Jay was first in the High Point Round Robin in North Caroli- na. For the third consecutive year, Tom Rogers won the state championship, this year with Joon-Ho Yu. In NFL District competition, MBA swept the debate slots, as Perkins Rogers and Fulmer Kahlon received bids to compete in nationals in Nashville during June. In JV divisions. Reeve was first speaker. In novice division, Craig Davis and John Hays placed second at Wake. Davis and Babu Paruchuri placed fifth and sixth in speaker awards at the Iowa Novice Round Robin. In Individual Events, Prescott Glynn reached quarterfinals in oratory at Emory, while Brad Griffin placed fifth in interpretive reading. Tom Rogers won third in extemporaneous speaking at Homewood and won first place overall sweep- stakes by an individual in the tournament. Debate coach Billy Tate was elected to be a direc- tor of the National Forensic League next year. Finally, in the prestigious Speech Class Debates held at MBA, Chas Hewgley and Sterling Price proved to be the dominant team in 1987-1988. Jack Hart and Braxton Perkins plan Southern Bell Forum strategy as David Chen concurs with the results. Art Program Art. The very word seems to instill a grand sense of wonder or fear, depending on how frivolous one’s artistic inclinations are. Art ... is everywhere — in the birds, the trees, Buicks maybe — but especially at MBA. Okay, sure. Lots of people gawk and choke and make general fools of themselves at such statements, but let me tell YOU, Bob, it’s true. Other schools have a dazzling myriad of teacher-types, MBA has but one. But insofar as Art History or a grand expanse of general knowledge is con- cerned, one is enough. Mr. Womack is an invaluable asset to art at MBA — without him, you may as well write a theme. And those supplies . . . well, let me tell you: for one small department at the beginning of the year, you have unlimited use of seemingly unlimited supplies (Hey, 1 easily used thousands of dollars worth since I’ve been here). And anything that can’t be had, will be found ordered made or similarly acquired. So, Look, GUYS, Do Art. Be Art. The program at MBA is what you make it. As with everything, the potential is only in you. 230 The Bell Ringer Front row: Ward Chaffin, Will Van Derveer, Ben Tate, Kurt Gilliland, Jay Knowles; Back row: Robb Ludwick, Steve Jobe, John Hayes, Lanson Hyde Archives This year’s literary magazine, THE AR- CHIVES, was produced by seniors Sean Dudley, Jay Riven, and Ben Tate. The two issues were of a larger size complete with drawings, poetry, prose, and carica- tures of the senior class. The printing company, Francis and Lusky, were ex- tremely generous with their time and assistance. Dr. Batten returned for his third straight year as the advisor for AR- CHIVES. 231 FCA Matt Bumstead, Robb Ludwick, Emmett Russell, David Spickard The MBA chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was one the strongest ever. Under the firm leadership of President David Spickard and the officers: Vice-president Emmett Russell, Secretary Robb Ludwick, and Treasurer Matt Bumstead; as well as coach Ed Zaborowski. Pro- grams were varied, informative, and refreshing, including frequent skits and games as well as discussions and speakers. Highlights of the year included a joint meeting with Harpeth Hall and the appearance of an all-new Rappin’ Three (with Slick Spick), “Chubby Bunny” and champions Rhoads Hall and Sheldon Griffin, and the “Jump” skit, in which a cocky Greg Downer plummeted from a height of three feet. Speakers included Dr. Christian Niemeyer, Bob Ivey, and Coach Zaborowski. Discussions included witnessing, a two-part section on dating, obediance, and revela- tions. Another important aspect of the year was service and fund-raising. The group undertook such activities as sponsoring the Scott Hartman fund, Christmas Caroling, collecting food over Thanksgiving for the Second Harvest Food Bank, and participating in the Upside-Down Olympics for prevention of child abuse. Obviously the year was highlighted by variety, and consequently was very exciting. Next year there will be a new sponsor, as Coach Zaborowski returns to FRA, as well as new officers: President Matt Bumstead, Vice-President Drew Robison, Secretary Rhoads Hall, and Treasurer George Clements. Next year will surely be another exciting year for FCA. 232 Chess Club Front Row: Brad Bell, Trever Edwards, Mark Thrailkill, Chris Shea; Back Row: Richie Gann, Jon Nameth, Michael O’Hare, Jason West The MBA Chess Club began the year without a teacher-sponsor. With the determination of senior Trever Edwards and Mr. Bondurant a teach- er was found: Mr. David Mikell. Mr. Mikell set out with President Trever Edwards and Vice President Patrick Keeble to mold the Chess club into a competitive team. Under the tutoring of Chess Master and MBA alumnus Mark Ishee, the MBA Chess team was reborn. The team’s first competition was at the Crossville Scholastic Tournament where the team composed of Mark Thrailkill, Jason West, Chris Steele, Michael O’Hare, Lawrence Berman, Brad Bell, and Trever Edwards took fifth out of 13 teams from the state. The team then held a school tournament where team-member Mark Thrailkill showed why he was the best player on the team by winning the tournament, with Lawrence Berman placing second, and Lyle McDonald placing third. Showing great possibility in years to come, Ben Curtis won the Junior School division. All this practice and competition was designed to prepare the team for its competition in the state chess tournament held in Memphis. A team composed of Mark Thrailkill, Michael O’Hare, Chris Steele, Brad Bell, and Lyle McDonald placed an astounding second in the state in the Junior Varsity Division. The Chess club, while losing three top seniors, hopes to continue to strengthen under the leadership of the juniors and other experienced chess players. 233 Conclusion Commencement Montgomery Bell Academy’s 121st Commencement Program on the 28th of May, 1988 was still another milestone in the school’s history. A feeling of relief, joy, and sadness fell upon all of the graduating class, mark- ing the last time the seniors would be together as one close group as they have stood together throughout the 1987-1988 school year. The ceremony began with an excellent invocation by President of the senior class Richard Speight. Head- master Gordon Bondurant then followed with his greet- ings to the MBA Board of Trustees, the faculty, fam- ilies, and friends. Robb Ludwick gave the Salutatorian address on what the Hill has meant to him for his four years. Scholastic and Literary Awards were then given to distinguish those students who excelled in a specific subject or activity. Richard Speight again addressed the crowded gym stating the senior gift to the school, an antique style phone booth to be placed in the Ball Building. President of the Big Red Club, Bob Napier, then presented a leather chair on behalf of the entire student body as a gift of appreciation to Mr. Bondurant. After a standing ovation for the Headmaster, Charlie Hailey presented the yearbook dedication to Mr. Bondurant. Bill Penuel then gave his emotional and complex Valedictory speech which preceeded an excellent performance from the MBA chorus. More awards were then distributed, followed by the giving of certificates and diplomas to the graduates of the Junior School and then to the graduating seniors. Honor Council President Steve Jobe closed the commencement program with a poem examining the promises that life holds. College Choices VANDERBILT R. Westermann A. Bond W. Harmer MILLSAPS T.

Consequently, we were forced to muster all of our patience, dedication, and endurance. Finishing the 1987 BELL did give us much-needed experience and hands-on training even though production of the last one hundred pages of the annual stretched into December. When we recovered, we set to create an annual that combined the lauded tradition of MBA with a creative design representative of the 1988 school year. Our first goal in fulfilling this combination was finishing the annual on time. On my part, I can say that this year’s annual represents the countless hours and contributions of many people, each of whom was able to add his own view of the MBA community. The result is a veritable conglomeration of the aspects that made this year’s student body unique. I have honestly enjoyed working with everyone associated with the yearbook, and I have also gained much satisfaction in seeing it undergo production. It is my hope that this yearbook will serve for many years to come as a vehicle to rekindle many joyous memories. Charlie Hailey and Jim Norris at work on the annual 240 A relatively early night in the physics lab Special thanks to: — Dr. Crowell for his time and patience — Buzz Watson for his advice and help — Paul Moffat for his help in laying out many of the senior pages — Tom Gutow for developing all those pictures — David Frederiksen for taking pictures and laying out many pages — Chas Hewgley for single-handedly typing everything in the yearbook — Jim Norris for his sticking with it well past graduation — Emmett Russell for getting many sports articles — Brannon Atkinson for his support and interest — David Fletcher for showing up at odd hours and helping with photography and layouts — David Stray horn for doing odd jobs and making my job easier — Jackson Wray for linking us with the Junior School — everyone who contributed articles or took pictures ChaxliiA tUo Hcuh jn EDITOR-IN-GHIEP 241 The Class of 1988 Gentleman, Scholar, and Athlete . . . The Class of 1988 attained these high standards not only as individuals but also as a unified whole. Thus, this class was diverse yet unified. Its members excelled in athletics, academics, and extracurricular activities. In sports, MBA’s teams achieved great success — the rifle and golf teams finished second in the state, and the varsity track team won its first-ever region championship. Under senior leadership, the football team also continued its winning tradition with an impressive 9-2 record. Similarly, the class continued MBA’s tradition of unparalleled academics. This group produced nine National Merit Scholarship Finalists and created the atmosphere to explore higher levels of learning. Also, many in the senior class undertook the challenge of Advanced Placement courses. Moreover, the Class of 1988 not only maintained the high levels of athletics and academics but also pioneered new extracurricular areas. The establishment of the chess club along with its first-year success is one of the many such additions. Under the leadership of the senior class, the entire student body was involved in service to the surrounding communi ty as well as achievement inside the MBA community. Above all, the members of the Class of 1988 gained experience, friendship, and joyful memories that will last for years to come. 242 Year at a Glance August 27, 1987 Seniors take seventh graders through registration with re- markable enthusiasm and precision.

NFIB — the National Federation of Inde- pendent Business — brings the concerns and opinions of small and independent business owners to Congress, the federal agencies, the White House and all 50 state capitals. NFIB is one of America’s largest membership organizations . . . nearly 600,000 strong. We don’t take our positions lightly. Members are polled regularly on issues affecting their businesses. The majority response is the position NFIB lobbyists carry from the grass-roots membership directly to federal and state lawmakers. And we don’t stop there. NFIB is a research organization too. NFIB Quarterly Economic Reports accurately predict trends in the nation’s employment. Gross National Product and inflation. In recent months, we’ve published special studies on small business banking and credit, the major problems and priori- ties of the small and independent business owner, the special concerns of small business people in urban areas, and more. Small business is America’s biggest business, employing more than half the non-government workforce and producing almost half the GNP. Small business owners are active in civic and political affairs. And we represent more of them than any other organization. That is why . . . when America ' s lawmakers hear from NFIB, they know they ' ve heard from American business.
