The V. E. S. cindermen finished their season in good fashion ·by plac- ing third at the Southern Inter- scholastic Meet at Chapel Hill with

Larger Board for the Future I
In the words of the Lynchburg News:
"Dr. P endleton's report show- ed that the immediate needs of the school were an improved heating
plant, a dining room, and an en- larged or new auditorium. The recommendations of t h e present school committee suggested that im- provements be made from probable donations but that the tuition fees
be made to cover current expenses, depreciation and reasonable repairs, It also recommended that the man- agement be invested in a board of
directors to hal'e not less than nine ANDELECTSOFFICERSmembers nor more than twenty-one members. Ownership to be invested in a board of trustees to have nine members. These trustees will be first chosen by the diocese and in- clude alumni, three of the trustees to be named for a one-year term; three for two, and three for three years. Each succeeding year three new trustees will be elected for a.
