I thought you might be interested in reading
my MHS Class of 1966 Facebook blog for May 1962. Last year, I
completed our senior year June 1965-March 1967. since there was
little more to write about at that point, I decided to start
back by covering May 1962 and forward. We are now rising high
school freshmen. I think you'll enjoy.

Okay, with maybe too much time on my hands, I’ve
been unable to resist learning more about Madison, TN (the town
of our youth) and its outstanding high school (our Madison High)
of the sixties. As you remember, I previously covered our class
(the Class of 1966) from June 1965 through March 1967. Since
there was little more to write about at that point (we were all
off in different directions by then), I’ve now decided to cover
our class beginning with the point when we became rising high
school freshmen (Late May 1962) and moving forward.
We’ll see how far I can get in this process, but
the goal is to cover our high school years up to June 1965 where
my last effort began. I hope you will enjoy reading this as much
as I will have enjoyed compiling it. This first installment is
an unusually long one. Here we go…
May 1962 [(Soon to Be) Rising High School
Freshmen]
The 1961-1962 school year was drawing to a close,
and our “Class of ’66” would soon be officially referred to as
rising high school freshmen. We were now in our final weeks of
this year's classes, but Madison High baseball, track, and
tennis were still going full-speed.
Before we get into spring sports and other events
and honors, let’s first take a brief look back at Madison High
School’s 1961-1962 school year and some of those people and

“Madison’s Randy Overall Prepares for The
Midstate Regionals”
By Jimmy Davy
May 10—The chase is about to begin for Madison's
Randy Overall. He’s the NIL'S king of the quarter-mile, having
run a 51.3 as his best competitive time this spring. He also Is
expecting to run under the Midstate Regional record of 51.0 at
Tennessee Prep Saturday.
Yet, Randy’s not even the favorite for the
Midstate 440-yard dash if Clarksville's Jim Phifer gets in the
blocks as expected. Phifer ran a startling 50.1 in the District
3 meet at Central last week, equaling the TSSAA State record. In
the race that Phifer won, Hillsboro's Tommy Egbert was clocked
at 51.3 for second place, issuing another challenge to Overall
as the season heads into its final days.
A week from Saturday, a senior at Oak Ridge,
named Hank Cole will be the man to beat for both Overall and
Phifer in the TSSAA State meet at Whitehaven High School. Cole
ran a 49.8 earlier in the spring and a 50.2 in the Optimist meet
here in April. “It will be a tough scrap the next few days for
Randy," Madison coach Dennis Meeks said yesterday; "but, he's a
real competitor and I expect him to win.”
The 440 record, isn’t the only mark expected to
fall Saturday. Hillsboro's Jim Smith, along with East's Phillip
Griffin, will make a run on the 880 record time of 2:02.2.
In the field events, North's Wayne Cook is
gunning for the NIL and Regional High Jump standard of 6-1 and
Battle Ground Academy’s Charlie Fowler and Glencliff's Tommy
Beckham can reach the shot mark of 51-6. Regional prelims and
field event finals will be held Saturday morning, with running
event finals that night. All 1-2-3 finishers in individual
events and 1-2 finishers in relays qualify for the TSSAA State
meet next week at Whitehaven. –The Tennessean, 10 May 1962, Page
