Hannah Jones Receives Templeton Award
Austin Clark Receives Conrow Miller Award
Alumni of Baylor’s Class of 1996 selected Austin Clark to receive
the 2006 Conrow Miller Award. The award is given annually by
members of the 10-year reunion class to the faculty member they
feel most influenced their Baylor experience. Clark joined the Baylor
faculty in 1982 as the boys’ basketball coach and served as the
Athletic Director for 16 years. In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Clark serves as the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, working
closely with grade deans to manage student compliance with school
rules. “I want to thank the class of 1996 for selecting me as the
recipient of such a prestigious award. When you are recognized by
the students, it has a very special meaning, and I appreciate this
award more than they could ever imagine,” said Clark. (pictured

Coach Clark and Jeff Jennings ’96.)
Junior Hannah Jones was named the recipient
of the Harvey and Jewel Templeton Noble
Purpose Scholarship at Baylor School. Representing her family foundation, Lauren Templeton
’94 made the presentation at a school assembly
this fall. The award, which includes a $5,000
scholarship toward Baylor tuition, is designed
to help students recognize and learn from those
in the community who have devoted their lives
to something worth doing.
Hannah was selected on the basis of her essay about Richard and
Cheryl Graham of Signal Mountain, Tenn., founders of the International
Assistance and Adoptions Project, an agency created to help find
families for Chinese and Vietnamese orphans. Over the years Richard
has begun orphanages in Vietnam and a foster care home in China
for medically challenged children. In 2000 Richard left his occupation
as an architect, and with the assistance and support of Cheryl, he
now focuses primarily on adoptions for children with special needs.
Hannah said, “Through Richard’s work of noble purpose, hundreds
and hundreds of otherwise lost and neglected children have been brought
together with families and now lead a life of hope and opportunity.”
Hannah is the daughter of Andy and Jane Jones, also of Signal
Mountain. The scholarship program was established in honor of
Harvey and Jewel Templeton, lifelong residents of Winchester, Tenn.
Colton Griffin Named First Emmet O’Neal Scholarship Recipient
Baylor senior Colton Griffin has been awarded the first Emmet
O’Neal Scholarship in recognition of his innovative leadership,
academic accomplishments, and positive contributions to Baylor’s
Environmental Community Service program. A resident of Englewood,
Tenn., Colton was one of four ninth graders admitted in the fall of
2003 as Baylor’s first Distinguished Scholars, making him eligible to
receive partial assistance with room, board, and tuition. The Emmet
O’Neal scholarship will provide Colton with additional support for
the costs associated with boarding at Baylor. “Colton exempli-
fies what a person can do when given the opportunity
to reach his or her full potential. When it comes to
innovative leadership, no one leaps to mind more
than Colton. He has taken advantage of the many
opportunities that have come along, yet he has found
numerous ways to give back to the school,” said Dr.
Bill Stacy, Baylor’s Headmaster. The scholarship was created to
honor the legacy of Emmet O’Neal, a 1939 Baylor graduate and
former chair of O’Neal Steel, the nation’s largest family-owned metals
service center. (Pictured at right, from left to right, are Dr. Bill Stacy,
Colton Griffin ’07 and Craft O’Neal ’80 at the award ceremony this

Eighty-Four Baylor Students and Recent Grads Earn AP Honors
A total of 84 current Baylor School
students and 2006 Baylor graduates
have earned the designation of AP
Scholars by the College Board in
recognition of their exceptional
achievement on the college-level
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
Exams. The College Board’s AP
program offers students the opportunity to take challenging collegelevel courses while still in high school
and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both, for
successful performance on the AP
Exams. In addition to core courses,
honors courses, and electives, Baylor
offers 22 AP courses. The school’s
AP program was established in 1954, when Baylor was selected by
the College Board as one of the first 38 secondary schools in the
country (and the only one in the South) to participate in the program.
Last year five Baylor teachers joined a select group of high school and
college faculty members from around the world to evaluate and score
various sections of AP exams, ensuring that students receive grades
that accurately reflect college-level achievement. “We are proud, not
only of students named as AP Scholars, but of all 226 of our students
who last year chose to take college level courses while at Baylor,” said
Jim Stover, Associate Head for Academic Affairs.
Thorne Melcher qualified for the National AP Scholar Award by
