claims to be a Tar Heel. He is now winding up his fourth year at V. E. S. This year he won a letter on the football team, and prior to that. he captained several junior athletic teams, earning himself the nickname of "Cap'n Bob." lie began having a good time the first day he arrived. and has done so ever since. but not at the expense of his grades, for he is usually one of the more fortunate boys who studies out of day study hall. This year he started out as a counselor, but somewhere along the line he became a member of the A. B. C. He is usually seen in the company of Long. -;.,{oncure and Parrott. doing something to pro- mote the welfare of the school.
Hal Dunbar is now laboring under senior subjects after having completed three long hard years of V. E. S. This year he is a counselor and has helped keep things running smoothly on Main. He is noted mainly for his good nature and his puns, which he occasionally pulls in "Jo Jo's" English V class. He is a member of \t\Teaver's Sunset Sing- ers. and is usually a help at their concerts. Hal is a hard worker, and tries in anything. 1fe comes to V. E. S. from Damascus, Virginia.
William Field is one of Roa- noke's numerous contributions to V. E. S., having been given to our school five years ago. He is usually a quiet boy, but still manages to have a good time. aside from hold- ing down his counselor duties on Main. This year he is vice-presi- dent of the Senior class, and he plans to enter the Navy after he graduates. His wit and imitation have distinguished him, and he is also noted for his friends. His most admirable asset is his ability to take tough punishment. having stood it here for five years.
Wharton Gaul is winding up his second year here, having come up from Charlotte, North Caro- lina, in the fall of '43. This year he collected letters in football and track, after last year receiv- ing the award for being the best non-letterman. This year he holds down the job of counselor
