METEORITES
By THE ASTROLOGER
THE LIGHTWEIGHTS
Well, we've been here at V. E. S. not quite six weeks, but it seems that the yearly crop of wolves haren't wasted any time in finding out various t2lephone numbers in Lynchburg. The Lynchburg Tele- phone Company reports a 43%' in-
crease in the number of calls since Sept. 19th.
The women of Lynchburg can now stop crying, and listen with all ears as golden notes again drift out orer Rivermont and Peakland. Al- though this keeps g irls in L ynch- burg, it has increased the "swoon" rate in town twofold. Do you know why? The Voice has returned to \'.E. S. ! !
It seems that Clay Perry has fol- lowed in the footsteps of last year's Billy Gallop as far as Anne Amo- nette is concerned. A nne is running some stilT competition with a cer- tain "Kate" from Norfolk, though.
Betty Beasley is so wrapped up in "How's-l\Iy-Form" Barge that she attempted suicide three weeks ago when Barge told her that he was married.
Gordon Moncure seems to be out for Jean Shields in a big way. Last week he kept yelling her name in his sleep all one night. It seems that he has walked right into Long's ~hoes.
Apparently Kitty has run out on Rianhard. That's all right. Dave, there's still "Happy."
The saying that "Love is blind" has recently been proved to be true by Edgar Betty, who gets letters erery day from a certan girl named :\nne Keys.
Ballou seems to be catching the eye of every girl in Lynchburg. most of them from the thirteen to fourteen year bracket.
~Ir. Follett was seen riding out the V. E. S. road in a black Chevro- let with a woman at the wheel. We didn't quite catch the name. but it was something like ?o.Iartha. You better watch that stuff, J. D.!
These Randolph - Macon g a I s haYe really been given the "once orer" these last few weeks. The poor women over there have their school invaded every week-end by a me~s of wild men from V. E. S.. who go over to play ping-pong and other parlor games.
Bob .\rthur and "Bud" Pritch- THE METEOR
Coach Milton's 115-and 130-lb. Football Teams
arcl really pulled in the mail last week, but it seems it was all due to some kind of initiation at R. M. W. C. Tough luck, fellows; maybe next time it'll be love !
Speaking of Bud, he's taking Al's place all right over in Rivermont.
V. E. S. Stuffs Ballot Box
Last Sunday night. THE ME- TEOR announced that it would like to have the student body vote on its choice for President of the United States in the com- ing election. After supper vari- ous desk-top orators voiced their opinions in study hall, and then V. E. S. went to the polls (the demerit box). Later Sunday night the votes were counted. The fact that there were 235 votes in the box for approximate- ly 85 students caused the faint suspicion to be expressed that the ballot box had been stuffed.
It seems that the Socialists were faster writers than either Hepublicans or Democrats. but these three parties got a real fight from Mr. Follett's Column- ist Party. "Also rans" were Jef- ferson Davis, Mr. Bebeau. :\Ir. Banks Homer, "Uncle Phil" and Tulius Caesar.
New Stars in the V. E. S. Zodiac
Well, we have now been ·here a month and a half and all those faces that seemed so queer and strange at first now fit in very well.
The new boys seem to be a pretty good bunch and have distinguished themselves in various ways in our school life. They also seem to have d i s t i n g u i s h e d them ~elves i n t h e Lynchburg (mostly Peakland) life and have become a bit too familiar with the local yokels of the fairer sex for the good of the old boys.
New Boya for Old Girla
As for individuals, Jim Ballou
stepped in and has decidedly taken the place of George Seeley in the heart of a certain young lady of R. l\1. W. C. Watch it Jim, George is due for a leave pretty soon .
Don't be at all surprised if when visiting a young lady of local fame who resides on Rivermont Avenu~. to run into Bud Pritchard. H e seems to be doing pretty well much to the disgust of an old boy, who now knows it takes something else along with muscle.
Some of the other new boys haven't had a chance to get started yet. but you can bet your boots that there is going to be some rough competition this year in and around Peakland.
Main Dorm is really catching up on its scientific knowledge with th~ coming of Winfield Massie, the "Mad Scientist."
