The highlight of last month's el'cnts was "Chops" J..Ioncure's journey to Richmond over Thanks- gil'ing, 'parked hy his cool audacity toward ,,·omen, and his love of bev- erages. .\crompanied by two in- nocent lambs, he showed Richmond what V. E. S. will do to a person.

Goats Butted
After the painting, pla:-,tering and general remodeling of the "V" Club, eight goats* were formally intro- duced to the "Big Wig." It seems that he (the Big Wig) made quite an impression on the "goats" from one angle or another. Before this )[r.
