CLEMENS HEAD COUNSELOR
Randolph and Hanff Complete Trio With Clemens to Make Honor Committee
At the end of each school year the student body of the Virginia Episcopal School assembles in study hall to vote for boys whom they want to be counselors for the next. year.

others were backs.
The schedule for the season is harder than usual as it contains not only Woodberry, Episcopal High, D. M. 1., St. Christopher's, R. M. A., Charlottesville High and Shen- andoah Valley Academy, but also
