Morale Builders
Last month as in all the months of
the school year a small staff of col- ored men under the direction of Mrs. Phillip Dawson continued to hold the responsibility for maintaining much of the morale of both students and faculty. This group is the kitchen staff.
Dawson W. Smith, the dean of the staff from point of service, has been baker at the school for six years. He was born in Bedford County in 1909 but was educated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he graduated from Westinghouse High School. He received his culinary experience as cook for Randolph-Macon Woman's College, where he cooked for ten years, and as master chef at the Nat- ural Bridge Hotel. His friendly dis- position makes him a valuable mem- ber of any organization.
Beauregard (Frenchy) W est was born in Halifax County in 1898, buxom then as now. For twenty six years he served Randolph-Macon Woman's College as cook and then as utility man before he decided to swap girls for boys. He has been at V. E. S. for five years. The student body appreciates alike his debonair spirit and his expert cooking and flavoring.
Henry McDaniels, born in 1908 , has been at V. E. S. for three years. Buck, as he is familiarly addressed by the boys. is the utility man in the kitchen. His job at the school is to
clean up after meals.
John G. White, a Lynchburger by
birth, was recently discharged from the army after serving three years, one month, and four days. He is en- tit!ed to wear four battle stars for his participation in major engage- ments. White had been working for the school for two years before en- tering the army.
Henry Harris is a newcomer to V. E. S. with only one month's service. He worked for eight years at Sweet Briar College and for fifteen months at the National Airport at Alexan- dria.
Smith Parker is the oldest member of the kitchen staff, fifty-two years old last June. He was born in Chris- tiansburg. He was formerly employed at the Lynchburg Foundry.
Lawrence (Joe Louis) Parker, the son of Smith Parker, is one of the fa- vorites of the boys, who report that he always wears a cheerful smile. Joe trains on ice cream. He rare!y misses purchasing a cone at the school store daily, including Sunday.
It is in the capable hands of the above staff that much of the physi- cal and mental health of the school rests. Schools, like armies, travel on the stomachs of the men and boys who make them up. The quartermas- ters, mess sergeants, cooks, and humble kitchen police can make or break the fighting strength of on army or of a school.
