It is these traditions, linked with tireless effort and interest, that have placed Webb among the South's leading prep schools. Webb itself has be- come a tradition, made so by the students that have attended and contributed their part towards its advancement. Cf varying types and importance these traditions are felt in the very atmosphere of the school. Many of them are tangible, every-day, commonplace things. Take for instance the reading of the First Psalm of the opening day of school, the songs sung in chapel, the custom of outdoor studying, trapping in the lower classes, those rare and much appreciated holidays, the contingency of which causes the halls to vibrate with chords of Revive Us Again , Monday school, night school, and W.P.A., lectures on Sunday, chapel speeches by the students, the policy of intramural athletics and the annual Thanksgiving Day football game, the Senior boards which bear each Senior's name, the blooming of Spring, foretelling swimming, the baseball season, commencement, and the Bibles given out at Graduation. On the other hand, there are certain ideals and high standards of moral conduct for which Webb School has stood. The honor system, established by Sawney Webb, has proved to be the backbone of the School's tradition and without it the school would doubtless crumble. Webb has always been recognized as an institution which produces in its graduates an indispensable sense of honesty and fair play. The students respect hon or in every sense of the word. The school motto, Noli Res Subdole Facere fdo nothing on the slyj is not just a group of words but a statement with a dennite meaning. For this reason it is no wonder that lying, cheating, and stealing are looked upon with the greatest contempt by Webb Students. From its founding, the student Honor Committee has proved to be one of the in dispensables of the campus. Ever since its beginning, Webb's prime purpose has been that of teaching a boy how to study and apply himself to a given task. The preparation received here enables students to pursue any branch of study they wish and equips them for any and all problems that life may present. The lasting friendships cultivated here are in valuable in later life and a student is endowed with standards of truth and honesty which will be precious to him always. It can truthfully be said that no institution has established a better reputation for the forming of high standards and in- dividual trustworthiness than has Webb School. Webb has become a tradition in the education al field and has attained great heights as a pre- paratory school for boys. May it ever remain thus.

Senior Class Histor September, 1951, saw the beginning of the Sith class I0 graduate from Webb. On September 28,0 we elected officers as follows: Albert Frierson, President, Dan Smith, Vice- President, Ronnie Holmes, Secretary, Ed Mann, Marshal. Af- ter Mid-term, Dan Smith was appointed by the faculty as Freshman Honorman. Our Erst year we proved to be most outstanding in the Field of sports. We had Ed Mann, Albert Frierson, Ted Dun- can, and Peter Scales representing the class in football. Almost everyone turned out for baseball, and Dan Smith and Ed Mann were elected captains of the Freshman teams. Ronnie Holmes, Ted Duncan, and Bob Hopkins also proved to be valuable as the season progressed. In track, the Freshman class produced such stars as Ronnie Holmes, high jumper, and Bob Hopkins, runner. On the annual Stunt Night the Freshman class contributed by giving a skit entitled, The Operation. At Mid-term we lost Fred Belk and Wesley Clark, but we gained Webber Hall and Arthur Fort, leaving the total num- ber 25, which it is now, at the time of graduation. XY'e begin our Sophomore year by electing Ronnie Holmes Presidentg Albert Frierson, Vice-President, Lewis Holmes, Sec- retary, and Bobby Gilliam, Marshal. Our Honormen were Walter Graham and Peter Scales. This year saw our first W'ebb dance in 82 years, and Bob Watson acted as our Social Chairman. This year we had the largest class in school, and again we started off by participating heavily in football. We met the challenge of basketball, with certain enthusiasm. In A League we had Ronnie Holmes, Peter Scales, and Bob Crichlow. The Sophomore class constituted the greater part of B League, with such competent players as Ab Taylor, Walter Graham, Bobby Gilliam, Owen I-Iendley, and Ralph Braund. In baseball we also participated heavily. We had Roy Ellzcy and Ted Duncan as representatives in A League, with B League flooded with such players as Bob Gilliam, Albert Frierson, Peter Scales, Bob Crichlow, Bard Rudder, Peter clev- erie, Walter Graham, and Mike Robison. This year, since our number was so large, we made up a large part of the debating societies.

We had our Sophomore class party in Shelbyville. We de- parted for the summer looking forward to a very prosperous Junior year. In September of '53, we came back to Webb as upper- classmen. Yes, we were Juniors, and very proud--maybe a little bit too proud, but we looked forward to a grand year. Our class was again the largest class in school. Though we lost Ronnie Holmes, Bob Watson, Jack Banks, Mike Robison, Jim Moore, Jim Jarvis, Weldon Oliver, and Ted Duncan, we didn't suffer too much in this great loss. For we found we had gained such outstanding members as Page Faulk, Clark Becker, Warren Patterson, Jim Dillard, Cullpepper Exum, Easton Lebo, Douglas West, Frank Smith, Park Miller, and Gunter Smith. Although our number grew larger, we had a large turnover in the class before the year was completed, and we lost Mike Moss, Ab Taylor, Peter Scales, Linton Vandiver, and Gene Hirsch. We began the year by electing as ofricersz Lewis Holmes, Presidentg Owen Hendley, Vice-Presidentq Albert Frierson, Sec- retaryg and Linton Vandiver, Marshal. For our representative on the Honor Committee, we elected Bobby Gilliam, Bobby Crichlow, and Gene Hirsch. Our class had always seemed to take an active part in every event of scholastics and athletics, but this year we began taking even bigger interests. We began to shoulder responsi- bility and realized we had a few sore spots to work out. But we also realized what a challenge it was: Consequently we didn't always succeed, but we worked hard. In sports, we started off very well. Football was first on schedule, wherein we established an unusual record by beat- ing the Seniors twice, tieing them once, and losing to them only once. Such players as Warren Patterson, Albert Frierson, Peter Scales, Ab Taylor, Bobby Crichlow, Gene Hirsch, and Owen Hendley excelled in the game. fconunwd on page 641 SENIO R YEAR Krzcrlirzg, lofi to riglaf: Lewis Holmes-President, Albert Frierson-Vice-President, Clark Becker-Secretary-Treasurer, Owen Hendley-Marshal.

Lewis, President of the Senior Class, Editor of The Oracle and obligated by a host of other responsibilities, pos- sesses outstanding executive ability. All-A's are his habits and he leads in sports also Che was elected as a member of the All-Webb basketball teamj. Lewis possesses than characteristic of all leaders, the knack of getting along with people. Lewis does not upset easily and his actions are not irrational. For all his four years at Webb, Lewis has held this posi- tion of leadership and influence. QHZOTS BARRY CLIFFORD BASS During every year since Webb has been in exist- ence, it has striven to offer each student the resources with which he might mold the tools which will serve him well through life. Some of the better students accept these resources, while others reject them. Cliff Bass arrived at Webb in the fall of '51 to begin his high school life. Since that time, he has grasped the opportunities offered by Webb and has particular- ly developed a strong desire to understand and com- prehend those things which he doesn't already. This desire has led him to be especially interested in the fields of science, mathematics, and philosophy. UB. C. is obviously gifted with great talent and will doubt- less be a great success in what ever field he chooses. O RALPH CLARK BECKER Clark came to Webb as a Junior and seldom has a person entered into as much activity so soon after his arrival. One almost never sees him not in a hurry to get something accomplished. Clark's jour- nalism ability can easily be seen in the improved quality of the Oracle and in the SAWNEY. He is a member of the Dramatics Club and had a part in the Senior Play last year. Also he has been active in the Hamilton Society and this year held the office of Yearly-Secretary. Clark's well known and appropri- ate statement about life in the hamlet of Bell Buckle, How rural! , has almost developed into a Webb cliche. At college next year he will surely devote his energy as influentially as he has at Webb.

Not only has he been faithful to his studies, as evident by his membership in the Cum Laude Society, but many other things. No matter how small the task, he will do it and do it well. Ralph has never been involved in any disciplinary trouble and for this reason he was kidded quite a bit his first two years. But he never lets this hinder him and gained everyone's respect. Interested in many sports he has always conducted himself in a sportsmanlike manner. Ralph is industrious and has all the marking of a potential success.

In school, he has shown a particular aptitude in the field of mechanicsg for if anything is to be made or fixed, such as stage setting or projection equipment, a yell goes up for Peter Q . On the outside, he's an enthusiast for movie, and an expert on a certain Bell Buckle Belle. He has only one real peeve and that is those people who make malicious cracks about Marcia . His natural ability to make friendsg if coupled with a true interest, will produce one of the successful members of the class of '55. QI'I,lOI'.S' JOHN SHELBY COFFEY If, at any time during the year, one had visited Clary House, and imagined that he had heard a Gene Krupa jam session, he was most likely hearing Shelby dusting off his drums. Shelby has shown remarkable talent in the musical field at Webb. AA most versatile individual, and although this was his first year at Webb, he has been very active not only musically, but athletically as well. Shelby, by his good sportsmanship in athletics and by his cool ability to accept a joke in good-natured manner, has set up a standard to be sought by us all. Although he outwardly protests in being called the Java Jive , we can tell that he is going to miss that nickname, but we also know that those of us remaining at Webb are going to miss his friendly personality. I ROY SCHILLINGS ELLZEY Anyone having lived in the dormitory area at some time in the past three years has more than once been amazed, and perhaps frightened by the strange conglomeration of sounds issuing from the abode of one Roy Ellzey. Ranging in kind from both irnitations of Caruso and Sacca to the mellow strains of a Baritone horn. Evidences of R0y's ob- session for the world of music have been profusely bestowed upon his dormitory cohorts. Aided by his skill in the above activity, his wholehearted par- ticipation in the extra-curricular program, his keen mind for the gifts of the academic world, and that Mississippi smile and good humor, L, Z. leaves with everyone with whom he associates a warm feel- ing of cheerfulnessg a feeling which will remain long after his departure from Webb.

Page 18 QfLlOI'.S' WARD PAGE FAULK Page, in every aspect, is one of the outstanding members of this graduating class. In his two years at Webb he has given his all toward keeping and raising the standards of the school. His fine partici- pation in many school projects and activities has proved him to be one of our schools' foremost leaders. Because of his ambition to enter the field of medicine, Page has chosen the study of psychology as his hobby and spends much of his free time reading about this subject. For his interest in medicine the boys have nicknamed him 'Dr. Faulk'. In social life, he is a charter member of the 'Big Three Plus One'. With the graduation of 'Dr. Faulk', Webb is sending out one of the future leaders of the world. I HOWARD TAFT FERGUSON Buddy, who is from Woodville, Miss., is a true Southern gentleman. Moreover, he is a boy Whose qualities of industry and integrity deserve the re- spect and admiration of all Webb. In his three years at Bell Buckle, he has come to be one of the most popular boys in school and also one of the most successful, both academically and athletically. He is an excellent student whose grades are always among the best. He has never been one to shirk duty, and carries many responsibilities on his broad shoulders. In sports, Buddy has made an enviable record. He is an excellent football player, and has starred on this year's All-Webb Team. In addition to all these things, Buddy likes to sing and has been in the Glee Club, He is a staunch member of the Hamilton Society. In whatever vocation Buddy goes into, he will be a success-his record guarantees this. ft, av, f. . QI'll.O4'S CHARLES CAMPBELL FRANCISCO Campbell is a one-year man at Webb and has made a remarkable record. His name is almost always on the all-A honor roll and he takes part in many ex- tra-curricular activities. Known over the whole Webb campus for his infectous grin, crazy chuckle, and that real live radio voice. He has very evident- ly steadily risen in popularity since the Hrs: of. this school year. Cisco is admired for his reliability. He holds a responsible position on the Oracle staff and he is trusted to do all he says. Campbell evinces strong intellectual interests. His fellows feel these interests will assure his academic success in college. O ALBERT MEYER FRIERSON Coming here as a Freshman, Albert brought with him a likeable personality and a spark of energy that has never lessened during his stay at Webb. His assistance in the final play of his Junior year was known to be one of main reasons for the wide ap- proval it was shown by the student body. Albert has entered almost every activity of the school with equal enthusiasm. This willingness to Work has made him one of those to whom a committee feels it can turn for assistance, whether he is amidst the committee fas is most often the casej or not. We feel sure that Albert's assistance will be just as sought after at Sewanee, where he plans to pursue a career in law. ,al Oracle Staff, 43 Photography Editor, 4, Band, 4g Octet 45 Hamilton Society, 43 Honors in Mathematics, 43 Final Debater, 43 Wing Leader, 4.

Bob's ready voicing of his opinions, his humorous sarcasm and his thorough acquaintance of the facts and campaigns of the Civil War clearly distinguish him from his fellows. Little Bobbie Robert's actions are not tinted with superficial dignityg he carries himself with an air of personal pride but he does not try to disguise himself with artificial maturity. The ease with which Bob makes good grades shows that he has been mentally well-endowed. Bob's unique and unwhimpering in- dividuality and his mental keenness have gained for him a position of renown in Webb. His fellows feel this position will be his in college also.

Page 20 WALTER ALEXANDER GRAHAM, JR. Walter, aptly nicknamed Wag , is a leader in the student body. For his amiability, level-headedness, and intelligence he is popular with both students and faculty. For calling a spade a spade and ex- pressing and following his own consultations he is liked by most and respected by all. His wit is warm, his words are sincere. Wag gets things done. For four years he has been head-waiter at Sawney Houseg he is President of the Honor Committee and President of the Bell Buckle Baptist Training Union. All these posts of responsibility are his and he still makes honor-roll grades. Walter is an outstanding boy and one whose personality is harmonious with his fellows. QI'LlOI'S JOSEPH OWEN HENDLEY, II Since his arrival in '5 2, Owen has never stopped his helpful participation in various school activities, and the name Bebop has been a part of almost every activity the students have undertaken. This and a magnetic personality can be called the reasons for Bebop's popularity among the students and teach- ers, for he is one of those who never meets someone with whom he is not on the best of terms. Recalling the previously mentioned attributes, look over the long list of activities in which Owen has been a part and you can easily understand why we think that he will be a great success, not only during his studies of medicine at Vandy, but in later life as well. O EASTON PARKS LEBO Easton P. , hailing from Tiptonville, Tennessee, is a boy of silent steadfast determination and of un- flinching personality. Easton does not seek the pub- lic eyeg his strength is of inner resolution rather than of popular support. For this determination he is ad- mired by all. Easton is an impressive chunk of man- hood. He is a member of the Webb Barbell Club and is their most faithful and renown member fit is said that he can press more weight than any one in schoolj Easton is a sober-minded boy who takes his work seriously and with devotion. Because of his devotion, his comrades anticipate great success for him in later life. 3 Q' al S animal?

Page eniors JAMES HERMAN LINDY When we enumerate the Webb Seniors who have set up in their minds a genuine purpose for themselves and are already at work to carry it out, we must inevitably include Jim Lindy. Although he has been at Webb for one year, he has established him- self as an intelligent and hardworking boy. He has a quick sense of humor, and is considered quite a man with the ladies. This year he has been a member of the Hamilton Society, an active participant in dramatics, and has participated at both basketball and baseball. In addition, he is an honor student whose industry has been unflagging. He is a mem- ber of the Oracle Staff and has entered the Oratorical Conest.

Page 22 WILLIAM CHARLES MAYO Charles Mayo, one of Webb's few one year men, comes from Tallahassee, Florida. Charles has found at Webb many excellent opportunities and has eri- deavored to take advantage of them. Charles is one of the school's better English scholars, and is taking honors in that subject. He is on the staH of the Oracle and SAWNEY. Another of his advocations is that of musicg he is a lover of modern music and at all times of the day strange sounds may be heard from his quarters. He is a member of the Octet. May-ooo is a sober but fun-loving boy. He plans to become a lawyer, and there is no one who despairs of his future. 9I'LtOI'S JAMES WILSON MEADOW Jim entered Webb as a Sophomore and soon he acquired the nickname by which he has been identi fied, Shpsht , during all three of his years here at Webb. Jim's possession of the love of singing has placed him in both the Glee Club and eleven-man Octet where his rich baritone voice never fails to solidify and fill his vocal domain. Jim has chosen to attend an excellent college which one does not End many of the graduates of Webb attending, for he has chosen the Colorado School of Mines as the institu tion in which he will pursue his interest in petroleum engineering SMITH MURPHY IV Smith came to Webb as a Freshman from Sumner, Mississippi and has spent all four years at Webb. In him, we see a good natured, well-rounded boy Whom everyone has come to like for his interests in numer- ous school activities and his radiant personality. In four years he has been able to make the honor roll every time but twice, and we find that he is now taking honors in Math, something that is certainly noteworthy on anyone's record. Smith will attend Davidson College and he says he will then become a Mississippi planter, although there is a possibility that he will pursue his interests in math or sports and adopt a profession pertaining to one of these fields. -wfix XX? can ff . 4 .

But this condition proved to be very short- lived for as soon as the school activities started Richard became known everywhere, particularly in the field of sports. As a one year man, Richard has certainly proved his worth both in school and out. He has taken part in as many activities as time would allow and has always been ready to help when something needed to be done. He has also been very active in the Big Three Plus Une. Having pursued his academic obligation's in a more serious light, Richard has completed a year to be looked back upon with a sincere feeling of satisfaction.

Page 24 WARREN RICHARDSON PATTERSON Warren, like all of us, came to Webb not know- ing what was in store for him. Yes, he came with the same curiosity as all of us, but he had something moreg something stronger than this standard ques- tioning attitude. Pitted in the back of his mind was a will to learn, and embedded in the pith of his heart was the necessary drive needed to acquire this much wanted knowledge. In the past two years Warren has reached every goal he could ever'hope for, but that isn't the half of it. His humor and congenial manner have welded friendships that never can be broken. If every year Webb could turn out one boy like Warren Patterson it would never have to worry about its reputation, for this graduate will make a true man. QILIOITS' CHARLES BARD RUDDER Bard's jokes and jibes cause half the laughter in the student body. Bard has been at Webb four years and from his Hrst day to the present he has always seen the humorous side of a situation first. Not all of his time, however, is spent in making fun. Bard's grades are above average and he is an important mem- ber of the Dramatic Club. He has played major roles in Sfnlng I7 and My Tlvrve Angels, the club's last two productions. Bard's ready humor has made him popular among Webb's students and faculty alike. If he retains the approval of others through life as he has in XVebb he will surely be a success. I FRANK REES SMITH Frank has been at Webb for only two years, but during that time his accomplishments have been almost unbelievable. As is a common but essential trait with all boys with a degree of popularity, Frank has the affinity for making friends. Since his en- trance to Webb, anyone meeting him finds it impos- sible to make obsolete a pleasant memory of his personality. He has not only a sense of honor and courtesy, but possesses the rare gift of quick compre- hension, combined with the genius-like capacity for learning. It is not this inherited trait however, which makes him the scholar he is, but rather the fact that he is a worker, paralleled by few in his class. fggnerf 'u- ul' 43?

Ab is a three-year man, and is one of the most popular boys in school. Not only does Ab deserve mention as an athlete, but also as a student. His grades have always been excellent, and it is a rare Honor Roll that does not have Ab's name on it. Ab's good sense of humor and ready wit have been major assets to his classmates. His ability to win friends will enable him to rise to a high posi- tion in anything he undertakes. Ab plans to become an engineer, and will pursue this course at Georgia Tech. ,'! k s Left to right, seared, fin! row: Cliff Bass, Ralph Braund, Albert Frierson, Bard Rudder. seaffd, seroml row: Peter Claverie, Lewis Holmes, Bob Gilliam.

Upon arriving we were surprised to see the construction of the new Big Room which was well on its way to completion. All the old glory was not gone since we spent the irst semester in the old classrooms with pot-bellied stoves. Also our irst year was spent under the honorable principal- ship of Mr. W. R. Webb who taught us many things which have been very beneficial to us. This year was broken by two trips we made to Nashville. The first being the football trip to see Vanderbilt play. The second was at night to see Quo Vadis. This was the time when all of us were taking Latin and Mr. Bob Webb thought it helpful to see the picture. At commencement of our Freshman year we left with the glorious memories of that year tucked in our minds and anxiously waiting the forthcoming year with great anticipations. The Sophomore year was fuller than the Freshman year with a more closely knit friendship in the class. Frierson did well in football while Holmes, Mutphey, Graham, and Ferguson did equally as well. Frierson again distinguished himself by being elected Mid-Term Debater of the Platonic Debating Society, Lewis Holmes kept up his all A's with untiring regularity and Bass, Braund, Gilliam, Graham and Murphey also made the Honor Roll. Mr. Bass also showed his skill by being in charge of the laboratory. The Junior year saw Ferguson, Frierson, Murphey, Graham, and Braund out for football. It seems that they must have added something since the Juniors whipped the Seniors. In basketball Holmes, Graham, and Murphey proved themselves beneicial to their teams. Again Albert Frierson was chosen Mid-Term debater for the Platonic Society and showed great promise by winning the debate by a unanimous decision. At commencement Holmes and Braund were honored by being chosen members to the newly formed Cum Laude Society. Also there was a change in the buildings and grounds of that year. The dormitories had been cleaned and painted and the debating rooms had been painted. A newly made recreation room had also been added for our benefit. The Senior year has been our most enjoyable although by far not our easiest year. It undoubtedly passed with the swift- ness of the preceding years and then some. Frierson was elected captain of the Bulldogs and showed great leadership in spurring his team on to victory in the Thanksgiving game. Murphey, Ferguson, and Braund also were on the teams. In basketball Graham, Holmes, Ferguson and Braund were all in A League. It was natural that with all the skill that Albert Frierson had shown to be elected Final Debater. Claverie for the past two years had shown his patience by being in the projection booth. Gilliam, as in the previous year, was in the play. Rudder was the star and deserves much commendation for his hard work and marvelous acting. As commencement is here and we are departing, we cast a forlorn glance back through the page of our Webb School career and recount the many hardships and happiness we have known.

Letter to Class of 9 Gentlemen: During your stay at Webb you have faced many problems both small and large, but next year you face the biggest of them all--being a senior. As a senior you will be faced with the difficult task of setting a good example for the younger boys to follow. You can no longer act as you did in the lower classes for your every move will be observed. You'll be a big boy and the things you do will be the models of the other students. At times you will question whether or not it is worth the trouble. At times you will wish you were a mere freshman and could do as you please. But remember this one thing. Your role as a senior in high school is your first step toward manhood. Whether or not you prove yourself a worthy senior will show your maturity. Unity must be your primary objective. It's an unwise policy to wait until mid- year before striving for this because by then it is often too late. You must obtain the cooperation and support of all the other classes and the faculty to have a good year. Without this your year will be miserable. I call this your year for indeed it will be. You will be credited with its success or failure. The times will be frequent when you will regret being thrust into your unfamiliar duties, but when graduation comes around, you'll be proud of your record, if you have upheld it. May I in behalf of the Class of '55 wish you the best of luck, thanking you for the support you so faithfully gave us and knowing that if you utilize your class poten- tialities your year will be a great success. Sincerely yours, Lewis HOLMES President, Class of '55 Page 29 'LM'l'L.OI'S As we yield ourselves to reminiscences of the past year, we recall to mind a year which has been both profitable and enjoyable in all respects. From the opening day up to the closing week, we have stood as a whole, offering what support we could to the Senior Class, and striving to improve ourselves through studies, athletics, and various other extra- curricular activities. We feel as if we have improved our- selves, and by this improvement we feel that with the sound support of the entire student body we will be very much capable of bearing the burden of leadership which is soon to placed upon our shoulders. We opened the year with the largest class in school, having 38 members on our roll. In our first class meeting we elected officers, and although all seemed worthy to hold these oHices, only a few could be honored with these positions. Those Juniors who were at Webb for the Brst time were met by the old Juniors in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere. There were no iron barriers between the old and the new. We immediately united and stood as a whole. It took only about a week for the excitement of the summer to wear OH. We then settled down to that type of life which appreciate and relate. only those who have experienced it can truly In the weeks that flitted by, the Juniors attained and held their share of honor in athletics, scholastic standings, debating, various musical organizations, and certain businesses of the student body, such as the Oracle staE, the social committee, and dormitory councils. In the Held of sports the Juniors showed their indefatigability and stamina by holding the Seniors to narrow margined- victories in two well-countended games. Many Juniors took part in the annual Turkey Day Clash, the Tiger-Bulldog game, and several were chosen to the All-Webb football team. All during the football season Juniors displayed their ability to work as a team and still stood as a whole. As football passed off the scene, its successor, basketball came on. Again juniors appeared in both top leagues, A and B, and it might be said that there were three juniors on the All-Webb Basketball team, which was the starting team in interscholastic competition. At the end of the regular season, the annual class tournament was held. Again the hard Eghting Juniors were only slightly overcome by their superiors. Follow- ing this tournament was the Tiger-Bulldog annual net classic in which several juniors again appeared. Recalling all the remaining major athletics, namely, base- ball and track, it is certainly evident that the Juniors have had an exceedingly good year in athletics, and should prove keen competition for the rising Junior class of next year. The scholastic rating of the Junior class is most assuredly above average with considerable improvement having been achieved since the beginning of the year. The juniors have many active members in both debating societies, and excellent rhetorical ability was shown in the Mid-Term Debate by members of our class. juniors displayed excellent musical talent in the Octet and especially in the band. Our class has even produced an in- trepid birdman. In viewing the coming Commencement we look in one sense with a feeling of sadness at the parting of those who have guided us so well, and yet, in another light, we look to Com- mencement as not an ending-We truly feel that this is our beginning.

Within a few days we had our first meeting and elected officers. They are as follows: Randy Bacon, President, Bob West, Vice-President, Chuck Coolidge, Secretary-Treasurer, and Eddie Barker, Mar- shal. The honor men we chose to represent our class were, Markley Huey and Ray Prescott. Right away we started to establish a name for ourselves in the Eeld of athletics. Ten of us went out and participated in football in the fall term. Our outstanding players were, Lann Malesky, Ray Prescott, Eddie Barker, David Smartt and Billy Don Bash. Ray Prescott stepped up from honorable men- tion into the ranks of the All-Webb football team. This is certainly a great honor for a Sophomore to get. Our football record as a Whole, we thought, was good. When basketball season started, we immediately elected a captain and began working ourselves into a smooth running team. Chuck Coolidge was our captain and under his leader- ship we placed third in the class tournament. Our first ive were as follows, Lann Malesky, Randy Bacon, Chuck Coolidge, Mike McDonnell and Bob Thomas but almost everyone in our class turned out and played. We had five in A league and numerous others in B and C leagues. We showed much more spirit and teamwork over last year and have high hopes for the forthcoming year. We also showed much ability and sportsmanship in track and baseball in the spring with a large number of us turning out for these two Spring sports. In the annual cross country race we placed three in the top runners. jasper Shealey, fifty, Butch Clayton, seventh, and Randy Bacon, ninth. However, our scholastic standing has not been hindered by our participating in extra curricular activities. We have ranked high in our academic work with Sophomore names appearing on all the honor rolls frequently, Of this, too, we are very proud. Usually the mid-term debaters are composed of Juniors but this year two Sophomores were given the honor to take part in this debate. They were Bob West and Chuck Coolidge, representing the Platonic Society. The Sophomore Class undertook a project this year which we hoped boosted the morale and added to the appearance of the school. Our class completely sanded and refinished the desks in one of the classrooms. Each boy took an active Part in this project and it showed a great deal of unity and co-operation. Many hours of hard work went into this project and when it was completed, we were all very proud of our efforts. We think this is certainly a feather in our cap as not many of the lower classes have started such a project. We have felt this year was a great success and we are looking forward to next year with great expectations of making it even a better one. Truly, we should be very proud of this year's record. vs fs- Page 32 EF i 'boi ....-A CHUCK Coouncz Secrets ry- Treasurer EDDIE Bmuuzix Marxlml RANDY BACON President Boa WEST Vice-Presid ent Lefi to right, kneeling: Edward Barker-Marshal, Bob West-Vice-President, Chuck Coolidge-Secretary-Treasurer, Stand- ing, first row: Markley Huey, jack Farrar, jasper Shealy, Earl Chumney, Carlos Plumb, Bob Thomas, Bill McCabe, Mr. john Morgan fSponsorDg jim Simmons, ibirl row: Wilson, CAbse'ntJ: Randy Lann Malcsky, Jim jones, Bill Freeman: fourfb rnuf: Rex Bushong, Harry Miller, Bill Eggleston, Jim Bacon-President, David Smartt, Mike McDonnell, Butch Clayton. seform' row: Charles Fergerson, Charles Boyd, Tom Buchanan, Bill Pratt, Ray Prescott, Ted Ericson, an v-1-vw-V..-..

LQWER C i t,S Although Webb School from its founding in 1870 has been strictly a college preparatory school, covering the four years of high school or secondary education, it has been necessary much of the time to conduct classes for pupils who were not well prepared for the ninth grade or first year of high school. On the campus these have been commonly referred to as sub- freshman as distinguished in general from freshman or beginners in the prep-school classes. These sub-freshman classes have always been organized to fix the needs of the individual students in particular subjects. Sometimes their students have been taught in coaching classes by teachers of the upper gradesg at others, special teachers have used their full time for this particular group. For a number of years the late Miss Ida Hunter had exclusive charge of sub-freshmen with notable success, confining her work largely to eighth grade subjects. , In recent years the school administration has had applica- Page 36 tions from parents of still younger boys and in response to that demand, classes for grades tive through eight have been set up with two teachers in charge, Since the classes are small, the instruction is largely individual, enabling the teachers to correct deficiencies and overcome particular difficulties of the pupils. Promotion is by subjects rather than by grades and thus opportunity is given for upper class boys to remove deiiciencies and for lower class boys to accelerate their progress if they have the ability. NVe now have the foundation for an organized lower school, if demand justifies, strict and thorough enough to give ade- quate foundation for entrance into the ninth grade, yet flexible enough to meet the special needs of individual students. It may not be too optimistic to hope that the lower school may in the future have its own dormitory or wing with its own facilities and special regulations, as Webb School expands to meet the needs of its growing patronage. Sports FUOTB LL Shortly after the opening of school this year. Webb sports began to get into full swing. Number cne on the list was football. the main spo t of the fall, and within the first two weeks of school all the participants were arduously running off the wild and riotous living of the previous summer in an elfort to get into shape for the first junior-Senior game. The rirst clash of the year was held on September 25. and resulted in a close 6-0 victory for the Senio's over the juniors. The game started as the Seniors kicked off to the Juniors. with neither team able to score in the Iirst quarter. The only score of the game was a pitchout from Frierson to Patterson. who plowed ten yards around his own left end for the T.D. This was late in the second quarter. Both :he third and fourth quarters were mostly defensive play on the part of the juniors in an etfort to block further scoring by the Seniors. The second game was played after two weeks of additional practice. on October 16. and for this reason was a considerable improvement over the tarst one. The first quarter ended scoreless. with both teams having had equal possession of the ball. Late in the second quarter. as a result of a drive from mid-field, the Seniors scored their first touchdown on a crash over his own left tackle by Page Faulk from the T.D. An attempted pass for the extra point was no good. Taking advantage of a fumble, recovered by R. Murphy deep in Junior territory. the Seniors Juniors and Seniors in Action , .fait 5 x i4.2'-f' Page 38 Jr.-Sr. Captains racked up their second score as Albert Frierson went over from the five. Early in the fourth quarter, Ellzey returned a punt S5 yards to pay dirt, for the Seniors third score. The Juniors, only score of the game was a pass from James to Stephens from the 15 yard line. The Final score was an 18-6 victory for the Seniors. Seniors lnniors Klllcyz R. Murphy. LE Lassiter, LE Bush: S. Murphey, LT Stephens. LT Handley. LG G. Frierson, LG Oliver.

Both teams had worked hard during the next three weeks, and by thc time Thanksgiving came around, seemed to be about equally matched. With a free steak going to the winning team, at the expense of the losers, both could be predicted to put out their utmost. The Tigers won the toss, and the game began as Ellzey kicked 05 for the Bulldogs. There was a fumble on the first play, and Prescott recovered for the Bulldogs. Through running attacks by Taylor and Ellzey, the ball was brought to the Tiger 30, where the Bulldogs lost possession on a fumble. On an end run by Patterson, and two line bursts by Ferguson, the Tigers moved to the Bulldog 40, where they were held and forced to punt. On runs by Prescott, Taylor, and Ellzey, and a pass to Barker, the ball was moved all the way to the Tiger 20, where the Bulldogs lost the ball on downs. On the next play, James went up the left side of the field for a 40 yard gain, to the Bulldog 40, but the Tigers could go no farther and were forced to punt. Here the quarter ended. The hrs: of the second quarter was still a see-saw possession of the ball, with both teams depending mainly on a ground attack. However, as the half was drawing to a close, Frierson, on a pass-play from the Bulldog 40, threw a long one to Ellzey, who caught it over his shoulder on the 25 and went the rest of the way unmolested. A quarterback sneak failed to make the extra point, and soon afterwards the first half ended with the Bulldogs ahead 6-0. The third was begun as R. Murphy kicked off for the Tigers. This quarter was played mostly in Tiger territory, as the spirited offense of the Bulldog team seemed to have taken hold. Later in the quarter, as the Tigers were forced to punt from their 35, guard Treppendahl crashed through for the Bulldogs to break up the play thus giving the Bulldogs pos- session of the ball deep in Tiger territory. After two runs by Frierson and Prescott, which put the ball on the Tiger 9, Ellzey broke around his own right end for the second Bulldog score. A try at the extra point was no good and here the quarter ended. A determined Tiger team received the kickoff early in the fourth quarter, and slowly began to move into Bulldog territory. On runs by James and Faulk, and a pass from Patterson to Frank Smith, the Tigers moved to the Bulldog 10, where is was finally halted for four downs. The game ended minutes later, with the Bulldogs victorious by the score of 12-0. It was a hard-fought game all the way, and both teams displayed ample skill and good sportsmanship.

The boys came out in full force to fill all three leagues with four teams in each. In A League, Ab Taylor, Bill Lassister, Lewis Holmes and Thomas Wescott were elected captains and they chose teams which were fairly even. In the first game of the Round Robin, Taylor was victorious over Lassiter and Wescott defeated Holmes. Taylor and Wfescott were victorious again in the second round, but Taylor handed Wescott his first defeat in the third round. Taylor's win over Lassiter in the fourth found made his team the league champions. This, the highest scoring game of the tournament, was won 85-40. Taylor racked up 27 points and Richard Murphy 20 for the winning team, while Lassiter dunked 21 to lead the losers. Eason and Charrzbliss boosted the winners' score by adding 16 points each. In the fifth game Holmes upset Taylor by a score of 35-29. This ended the tournament, giving Tay- lor a 4-1 record, while Holmes slid into a tie for second with Wescott with a 3-2 record. Lassiter was last with 2 wins and 3 losses. Taylor and Wescott Under the Board F Page 42 Varsity in Action In B League, Owen Hendley's team came out on top with the teams of Bill Steffens, Bob Ball, and Ed Barker following in that order. In C League it seems that Hugh Sherman and Eddie Maupin had the outstanding teams. On January 14, Webb was host to an AA Intra- mural team from David Lipscomb College. The boys had a very smooth running team and defeated Webb by a score of 81-42. They had been vic- torious over several Nashville high schools and showed their skill by sinking an extremely high per- centage of their shots. Webb took an early lead in the game, only to have it snatched away from them after the first quarter. The score at the half was 37-25 in favor of Lips- comb. The substitutes played the entire second half in order to gain experience for future games. Cn January 22, the DKE's from Vanderbilt handed Webb .1 close defeat. The game proved to be a very interesting one as Webb took .1 slight lead in the second quarter, and held it until the last minutes of play. Thomas Wescott was high scorer for Webb, having bagged at total of 21 points, while 1- Stephenson collected 28 points at the DKE's high- point man. Taylor and Lassiter also rendered good offensive play for Webb while Holmes and Herring made an excellent showing on defense. The DKE team was,made up mostly of Webb graduates with few other frate nity members here to help out. NVebb's line-up for these two outside games was: F-Herring F-Holmes C-Wescott G-Taylor G-Lassiter 71' il' 7? 5? In a three game series the Seniors defeated the Juniors by winning the last two games in what was by far the highlight of the season. The Juniors and Seniors, having been victorious over the Sophomores and Freshmen, respectively, met in the semifinals. As predicted, the Juniors emerged as victors by a score of 30-28. The Seniors, having defeated the Sophomores, returned as a new team to upset the favored Juniors in the second game, 47- 42. Patterson and R. Murphy spurred the Seniors off to a good start by scoring eight points between them to the Juniors two in the opening minutes of the game. The steady playing of Taylor and Holmes increased this lead until at the half the Seniors led 34-15. A brilliant comeback was staged by the Juniors in the second half as Lassiter led the scoring with 20 points, and the defense was sparked by Chambliss and Eason, but the Senior lead was not to be over- come. The final score was 47-42. Herring and Wescott played fine games for the Juniors. The third and final was played the next day and was the hardest fought. The players of both teams were highly nervous, which probably accounts for the low scoring. The Seniors took an early lead and held it throughout, largely because of the good rebounding by Holmes, the Senior captain, and F. Smith, and the excellent shooting of Taylor and Patterson. Sam Eason, the Junior captain, led his team into one of the hardest fought tournaments that Webb will ever see, and, although they lost, the Juniors played a series of which to be proud. Page 44 Junior Team Senior Team All-Webb Team All-Webb in Action The Tiger-Bulldog basketball game was much closer than expected. The Bulldogs, favored by 15 points, took an early lead and held it all the way until the end with the final score totaling up to 48- 42 in their favor. The Bulldogs were sparked by Bill Lassiter, who was high point man with 15, and Ab Taylor who bagged 12. Thomas Wescott played a good floor game, while Eason and Holmes sparked on defense. Chambliss was also in there pitching for the Bulldogs. For the Tigers, Richard Murphy and Steve Her- ring led the way with 12 points each, followed closely by Captain Warren Patterson, who came in with 10. 'Frank Smith played a good floor game, while Shelby Coffey was magnificent on rebounds. Walter Graham and George Frierson were other Tiger players. F? Pi- 91- With the basketball season at a close the 1955 All-Webb players were elected. They were: Thomas Wescott, Ab Taylor, Lewis Holmes, Bill Lassiter and Steve Herring.

KK5, Baseball was delayed several weeks this year due to winter in March, but finally got started a week or so before Spring vacation. All the boys who came out were divided into A, B, and C leagues, with three teams in each league pitted against each other.

This race draws unusual interest as the women of the town bake cakes which are awarded to the first twenty or so boys to cross the finish line. The irst thir- teen boys to finish were as follows: Ellzey, Bomar, Byrd, Hendley, Shealy, R. Murphy, Clayton, Patterson, Bacon, Eason, Barker, Faulk, and SteEens.

H MILTUN SOCIETY The members of the Hamilton Literary Society look back in the year of 1954-55 With a feeling of accomplishment and pride. The year began with a sizeable crop of new Webb boys whose experience in formal debating was nil. These boys have observed their more experienced society-members debate and have themselves been allowed to debate. It is a rare boy indeed who does not appreciate this privilege which teaches him the art of self-expression and speaking poise. As is the custom, most of the debate questions concern current political controversies. Speaking skill is not the only profit the members of the society reap. They have learned about such vital issues as the diplomatic recognition of Red China, the censure of Senator McCarthy and the TVA ques- tion. In society meeting the Hamiltons have learned much about current events. The members have learned much about parliamentary pro- cedure, they learned to act in an orderly fashion without the imposition of outside authority. No adult attends the society meetings. Very important in the year's activities was the election of Mid-term Debaters. The debaters were Bill James, John Joyner Page 50 with Sam Eason as alternate. These Hamiltonians put their skill to work and won the mid-term debate. During the year the society has had several ice-cream parties. The idea of the party is conceived in the mind of some memberfsj, is put in the form of a motion at one of the meetings and ice-cream flavors are voted upon. On the chosen night fgenerally the next regular meetingj ice-cream cones are served to every member. Some of the controversies as to whether Tutti-Frutti or Strawberry should be bought are very interesting. A special meeting of the Society was called to elect the Final Debaters. After the votes had been counted it was found that the Hamilton Final Debaters were Campbell Francisco and Cliff Bass with Walter Graham as alternate. At the time of this writing the Final Debate has not yet taken place, but the Hamiltonians eagerly anticipate the success of their representatives. The Hamilton Society feels strongly the spirit competition with her sister, the Platonic Society. Although this Com- petitive spirit fills the heart of the member, we still realise that the debate is more important than the judges' decision. The graduating Seniors are proud of this year and all feel that they have profited from it.

PL T0 IC JJCIFTY The gavel of the Platonic Society opened the first meeting of the 54-55 school year on Saturday night, September ll. Traditionally the first meeting is an election night and there were new as well as old boys present. Students are assigned to one of the two debating societies during the first week of school. No one is required to join a debating society but as they exist for the boys, a majority of the boys do join every year. Elections are held six times a school year, giving a variety of members a chance to hold olice and demonstrate their abilities at leadership. At this Hrst election Albert Frierson, was elected President, Owen Hendley was elected Vice-President, Frank Smith was elected Secretary and Page Faulk was named Marshal. Roy Ellzey became Yearly Secretary at the same meeting. The Seniors traditionally take the society under their leadership until the last months of school, when the underclassmen gain the experience they will need when as the leaders of the Platonic Society. The next election was held on November 6 and the oicers were chosen to serve a term of four weeks. Smith Murphey was chosen President, Frank Smith was elected Vice-President and Shelby Cofey became Secretary. Bobby Gilliam was elected Marshal. By this time, the boys had taken part in the debates and had really become members of the society. On the night of December 4, the Mid-Term debaters were elected. The mid-term debate is the first of the two highlights of the debating season at Webb. The sophomore class was honored by having two of its members, Charles Coolidge and Bob West, chosen. Jim Hornsby was elected alternate. The question, Resolved: that the United States should extend diplomatic recognition to the communist government of China, was chosen by the Platonics who upheld the adirmative. In the mid-term debate which took place on March 22, the Hamil- tons were victorious, but our representatives gave a performance of which the society can well be proud. 52 At our Erst meeting after the Christmas holidays, the third elected of the year was held. The new oicers were: President, Owen Hendleyg Vice-President, Roy Ellzeyg Secretary, Bobby Gilliam and Marshal, Albert Frierson. These boys held office for six weeks. Mr. Puryear took charge of a special Platonic meeting on Tuesday, February 9. It was called to elect the Senior members who would represent the society the night before graduation in the finale of Commencement week, the Final Debate. Albert Frierson and Frank Smith were chosen to be the debaters and Bob Gilliam was elected to the position of alternate. All of these boys have had previous speaking experience. Albert has been a Mid-Term debator for the last two years, while Bob has been alternate for the last three years. Frank has been at Webb for only two years, but he was a speaker in the Ora- torical contest during Commencement Week last year. The ques- tion for the Final Debate was, Resolved: that the Federal government should not extend beyond its present limits in the Tennessee Valley, its productions of electrical power. The Platonic debators upheld the amrmative. On February 18, Webb was the scene of a practice debate between teams from the debating societies at Webb and two teams from Central High School in Fayetteville. Frank Smith and Owen Hendley were appointed to represent the Platonic society. They debated the national high school question. Resolved: that the United States should initiate a policy of free trade among friendly nations. This debate was concluded without a decision. Graduation and Commencement week meant the end of an- other year for the Platonic Society. Although the Seniors have departed, there will be another class next year and the Platonic Society, steeped in tradition, can look forward to more years-years as successful as the year of USS.

The Cum Laude Society, a scholarship society in secondary schools, was founded at Tome School in 1906. The society now has more than 110 chapters and 25,692 members. Its chapters are in mnst of the leading independent schools and in a representative number of public high schools. To be eligible for a chapter in this society a school must be a non- profit organization and this prevented Webb School from being considered until recent years. In 1953 a chapter was established at Webb, Its charter members-fifteen in number- were eligible alumni. Each chapter may elect as members those students of the senior class who stand in the First fifth of the class, choosing Cal the whole number at the end of the senior year or Cbj not more than the first tenth of the class at the end of the junior year or at any time during the senior year and the remainder at the end of the senior year. Page 54 In the class of 1953 the following qualified and were elected: Jim Alexander, Memphis, Tennessee, Russell Bailey, Coffeyville, Mississippi, John Garden, Rockingham, North Carolina, jimmy Holmes, McKenzie, Tennessee, Malcom Pat- terson, McEwen, Tennessee, and Allen Shapard, Tullahoma, Tennessee. In the class of 1954 the following qualified and were elected: Desaix Anderson, Sumner, Mississippi, Eddie Kap- lan, Cleveland, Mississippi, Ralph Owens, Cleveland, Mississippi, and Charles Summers, Birmingham, Alabama. In the class of 1955 the following have qualified to date and have been elected: Ralph Braund, Memphis, Tennessee, Owen Hendly, Knoxville, Tennessee, and Lewis Holmes, McKenzie, Tennessee.

The Webb School honor system was begun soon after the school was founded in 1870 and has been used as a model in establishing similar systems at schools and colleges throughout the country. The members of this group are elected by their fellow classmates and are held in high esteem by the entire student body. For this reason these boys not only set the standard of honor at school but their influence is greatly responsible for the continuance of the reputation for honesty which Webb graduates now hold.

Under the expert direction of its sponsor, Mrs. Emma Rosen- berg, it has offered its audiences many varied pro- grams, featuring both secular and religious music. It is interesting to note that this year's Octet numbers fully thirteen voices, perhaps this is an in- dication of the surplus of musically talented boys at Webb. During the year, several chapel programs are given as a joint presentation by the Octet and the Band. In addition to these, there is the program of Christmas carols presented each year with the coming of the yuletide season. The Octet has been called on at Thanksgiving. Christmas, and Easter to provide music for the sea- sonal religious services, and it has always responded with hymns fitting to the occasion. Along with the afore-mentioned school functions, the group also has made outside appearances. In March the Octet and Band gave a joint chapel concert at the Bell Buckle High School.

Page 56 One of the small, but certainly not unheard of organizations of Webb is the band. Under the di- rection of Mrs. Emma Rosenberg, these masters of sharps and flats have made numerous trips to different civic clubs and schools, within a radius of about fifty miles of the school, providing them with entertain- ment ranging from Romberg's Classics to the bluest blues Basin Street has to offer. The Webb Band generally gives four concerts for the student body during the school year, and has traditionally performed at the Mid-Term Debates and dvring the various exercises at Commencement. The members of the band use their own time after school to practiceg they have been faithful and have done a good job. The student body gives a hardy hand to its music makers. . tu -,-.uas .QR Ava . ' V WQHI4 SIDIHNNL S N N,+ .,JAL, The Social Committee had its first meeting in October to decide on a date and a theme for the Fall Dance. They decided on the twenty-third of October as the date and a Halloween theme. Hal Buroker's Orchestra furnished the music for the dance which turned out to be a huge success. About sixty-five couples danced in the ball room which was decorated in orange and black crepe paper with witches, scare crows and ghosts lending atmosphere. The second dance was held on the nineteenth of February. The ballroom was decorated with a Valen- tine theme and Charlie McCary and his orchestra furnished the music. Hearts, cupids and a pro- fusion of red and white balloons made very effective decorations and the forty young couples who at- tended all enjoyed themselves. The last dance of the year was the Senior Dance which is usually held on the second Saturday in May. It is always a gay and exciting evening for the Seniors who are the honored guests.

Those of the student body of Webb School who are interested in staying abreast of national and in- ternational affairs have joined the Current Events Club. This organization is sponsored by Dr. Everet B. Tucker, who is a member of Webb's faculty. The members of the club are indeed fortunate in having him as their sponsor. We are very much indebted to him for taking his time to sponsor the club. The club meets once a week on Wednesday. Each member is required to bring an article of current in- terest to the meeting. During the course of the meet- ing each member is called upon to give a brief sum- mary of the contents of his article in order that it may be discussed by Dr. Tucker and the other mem- bers. Before we close the meeting, Dr. Tucker sum- marizes the main news events of the past week. I am sure that we will all be in agreement when I say that the Current Events Club is one of the more out- standing assets to Webb's extra-curricular activities. .211 Page 57 Kneeling, lefi fo right: Albert Frierson, Roy Ellzey, jimmy Lindy, Owen Hendley, Peter Claverie.

In the past few years at Webb the dramatics club has prob- ably been the least active of the extra-curricular clubs. This was partly due to the lack of interest, the lack of funds and equipment, and most of all to the lack of a capable director. A remarkable change took place this year. The club was blessed with a fine director in the person of Mack Harris Scott, III. Mr. Scott took over the dramatics club of Webb School with a record of polished productions behind him. How- ever, here he found very little talent, and less equipment to work with. That was in September! By February he had already produced a three-act comedy in which he acted himself. The play was entitled My Three Angels. Briefly the story tells how three convicts become the good angels of a sadly harassed household. The scene is French Guiana, a region where on Christmas day the temperature gra- ciously drops to 104, and where convicts cannot only hire out but apparently never have to report back. The three angels Joseph fBard Rudderj, Jules fAlbert Friersonj, and Alfred fOwen Hendleyj are employed as roofers by a family in dire danger of having no roof over their heads. On the DRAMATIC way from France is a snarling cousin, Henri fMr. Scott, to oust Papa QBob Thomasj from the business he has botched. Along with the cousin is cold-nephew, Paul fWalter Grahamj who is jilting papa's daughter, Marie Louise QMarcia Manley, for an heiress. The three angels-two of them murderers, the third a swindler-take the visitors on. All three convicts have sunny natures, warm hearts, clever hands and sleepless brainsg all three are passionate believers in the Robin Hood of man. Possessing every criminal art and penal grace, they set matters aright in a gallic Christmas Carol where it is simpler to bump Scrooge off than convert him. CAlso included in the cast were Mrs. Calahan, R. L. Gilliam and Jimmy Lindy.J During commencement week a night is reserved for the dramatics club. The play for this time is still in the process of being chosen but it is fairly certain that Hasty Heart will be the one. The story tells of a wounded soldier whose last few weeks of life, spent in a hospital in the Orient, are changed by the attitudes taken towards him and ultimately by him. The play is a mixture of comedy and drama and is predicted to be a howling success. In summarizing, this year has been a boost to the Dramatics Club. It is hoped that the popularity of the club will steadily increase and, under the sponsorship of Mr. Scott, this seems to be the prediction. The Dramatics Club would like to thank Mr. Scott for the ine work he has done in the past year. Bo .9 XL ENN SCHUUL Seated, left fo right: Mr. M. H.

They are the boys who serve voluntarily and for no rewards-as the sergeant or the chief petty officer in our school. Chosen by the faculty, these boys must have physical stamina, leadership . . . and above all, courage to turn their buddy in for misconduct. To a boy in a prep school his happiness revolves around his friendships and yet these boys are willing to sacrifice this. I say sacrifice but actually they are gaining something. They learn that a true friend will understand the weight of responsibility and will desert them when they assume their place of discipline. Also many of them learn to their dismay that many of their so-called friends desert them at this time. They learn that too often one is too blind to see the fallacies in a friendship. This is indeed a valuable lesson to be learned. Too often boys grow into manhood not realizing that the world's not full of true friends. It is here in this small but significant beginning that they come to face this fact. This small group of boys are making their first step toward manhood .... Whether or not they deserve to be called a wing leader or hall monitor will be decided by them alone. They were selected by men who believed they were leaders . . . re- sponsible and conscientious. They will be the ones to live with their conscience if they failed to carry out their duties: if they succumbed to the temptations of others to show their duty. This year has been a successful one and an orderly one. Credit is due to a great extent to these boys. They have done an excellent job. This is but a small tribute to their works- work which made them a somebody, a real example of a Webb gentleman.

The school year of 1954-55 might well be termed as the transitional age for the Webb School newspaper-the Oracle. This year the paper has undergone a complete overhaul and has come out successful. As is typical of all new things, this year's Oracle staff began not knowing what to expect. The editors had gotten some big ideas and the staff were to put them into being. They tackled what seemed the impossible. They were going to make the paper bigger and better. It had been said in criticism of the old paper that by the time it came out, the news was stale but the editors wanted the change. So they decided to put it out more frequently. To the average on-looker this object of remaking a paper would seem simple, but this is far from the truth. It requires a lot of work on the part of a lot of boys and fortunately these boys were available. They went the second mile to see that the other students enioyed a better paper. Often this meant that they must sacrihce something, but they realized that work must come before play and that getting out a paper is more important than playing a game. At first this idea of a different paper was a novelty and Page 60 was interesting and inviting but as each issue rolled OH the presses the boys on the staff realized that it was no game. They found that the job required consistent efforts on the part of all, There could be no loafing, for one department was dependent on another. In this constant service was found a group of boys that deserve much more credit than they got. Undoubtedly many of those who gave of themselves will never be publicly rewarded, but their work will always be seen in the fine papers they put out. And so we pay tribute to all of those boys who went into a new and difficult job and came out successful. We lahd each one from editor to writer, from typist to distributor. They all made up a part of a machine which could not have run without them. Webb School has long had its newspaper but will End it hard to obtain a better group than these. In the past they had a precedent to follow and references for guidance. This year the staff depended on their own initiative. And so this group leaves to those of next year its record, hoping that they may profit from this year's mistakes and make next year an even better Oracle.

Page-63 enior Class Histor Continued On the whole, our scholastic rating was high. We began to acknowledge the fact that it wasn't long before college, and we should begin to think more seriously along that line. Basketball season quickly rolled around, and we entered into the game with enthusiasm. We dominated A and B Leagues, and when the class tournaments were over, we found ourselves the victors. Some of our A League players were Peter Scales, Lewis Holmes, Warren Patterson, Ab Taylor, and Walter Graham. In December, both debating societies, in which we were so active, chose their mid-term debaters. These teams, with the exception of one Sophomore, were all juniors. They consisted of Cliff Bass, Lewis Holmes, Bobby Gilliam, Albert Frierson, and Linton Vandiver, representing the junior class, and Nat Long, a Sophomore. Turning again to sports in the Spring, baseball contained many Juniors, and when the All-Webb teams were published, for baseball, basketball, and football, we found there were Juniors spread throughout the teams. After Spring Vacation, we participated in the declamation group. Our interest increased, and when the graduation exer- cises rolled around, besides junior Night, some of us entered the play, and the Oratorical Contest had many juniors in it. Also, on Commencement day, Lewis Holmes, Ralph Braund, and Owen Hendley were elected to the Cum Laude Society. Our junior year passed swiftly, but we enjoyed it im- mensely, and looked forward to at last becoming Seniors in Webb School. We again returned in September with more enthusiasm than ever. It seemed impossible but mighty nice to be called Seniors. Our class, though we lost Bobby Crichlow, Jim Dil- lard, Wm. Bivings, cullpepper Exum, and Park Miller, and later Tunie Pelts and Douglas West, was still a good size class. New names were again placed on our roll: Richard Murphy, Shelby Coffey, jim Lindy, Campbell Francisco, Charles Mayo, and Ab Taylor. As Seniors we looked seriously toward our duties and saw the responsibilities, greater than ever. As soon as the new boys got familiar with the class, we elected odicers. Lewis Holmes was again elected President, with Albert Frierson, Vice- President, and Clark Becker and Owen Hendley acting as Secretary-Treasurer and Marshal. Our representatives on the Honor Committee were cliff Bass, Gunter Smith, Frank Smith, Secretary, and Walter Graham, President. With these as our leaders, we moved forward, hoping to live up to the highest standards as Seniors. Football season opened with a bang. The Senior team won both Junior-Senior games with Ab Taylor, Warren Patterson, Page Faulk, Roy Ellzey, Owen Hendley, Buddy Ferguson, Frank Smith, Gunter Smith, Richard Murphy, Smith Murphey, Shelby Coffey, and Walter Graham playing hard under the Page 64 direction of captain Albert Frierson. Zeal for football con- tinued until the Thanksgiving Tiger-Bulldog games. Such spirit was aroused during football practices that there was talk of Spring football. Besides football, the Fall term was touched oH with such things as being invited to hear the U.S. Navy Band, the invi- tation being extended by-David Lipscomb College in Nashville. This, and our Fall and Winter dances and our other visits to Nashville really added to the old grind. In November, Ralph Braund, Owen Hendley, and Lewis Holmes received the Cum Laude awards. Their appointment to this honorary society had been announced earlier, but they had not been awarded yet. It wasn't long before the basketball season opened. In A League, Lewis Holmes and Ab Taylor were elected two of the four captains. We made up the majority of A League and a good part of B League, as the turn-out for basketball was especially large. When All-Webb came out, we had Taylor and Holmes with others up for Honorable Mention. After the Christmas Holidays, our quiet little town was struck by a tornado, and soon after an even bigger storm, My Three Angels. This was a three-act comedy with an almost all-Senior cast, of Albert Frierson, Owen Hendley, Bard Rudder, Jimmy Lindy, Bobby Gilliam, and Walter Graham. As the new term got under way, we began to realize how little time we had left. The final debaters were elected. Plans were made for the first yearbook in Webb's history. Lewis Holmes and his co-editor, Clark Becker, besides completely re- organizing the Oracle, put much time and thought into this new idea, the yearbook. Baseball brought out in the open air again with A and B Leagues being arranged. Ellzey, Taylor, Frierson, Holmes, G. Smith, B. Ferguson, Coffey, R. Murphy, S. Murphey, Rudder, Gilliam, Hendley, and Lindy took a great deal of interest. As this is going to press, full plans have not been made for track, but we have a very promising outlook. Ellzey, who won the annual cake race this year, Hendley, Bass, Ferguson, Holmes, S. Murphey, Peter Claverie, and others are expected to return to the field and break the records which they set last year. Our sports history is a history within a history, but we also realize that it is only a small part of what we should ac- complish here at Webb. The Old Guard, the nine of us who have been here four years, along with the other members of the class, realize now, as our time is drawing to a close here at Webb what Webb really means. We see that to get something one must put something into it. We also see that we have doubtless not measured up to our standards completely, in this year, but we regard it nevertheless as highly successful. CASTNER-KNOTT Shelbyville, 'Tennessee We Salute . . .
