recovered from ~n attack of polio. He completed his studies at V. E. S. in 1943. As a student at the Uni- versity of Virginia, he majored in French and received his B. A. and M.A.
Last year Mr. Magill went abroad to France where he was employed as a teacher of English to French boys in a small town on the English Chan- nel. Fortified by his knowledge of French as it is spoken in France, he returned last spring to Lynchburg and accepted the position of Mast- er here at V. E. S.
Besides teaching French and Span- ish, Mr. Maqill has the painful task of recording all of our demerits.
We are happy to have this op- portunity to welcome him back to his old Alma Mater.
The newest addition to the math department this year is Mr. Robert Isaac Lee, better known as " Rock. " Although he was born in Norfolk, Va., he moved to Raleigh while very young and has made his home there ever since.
Mr. Lee is an alumnus of V. E. S. as are two other members of the faculty. He attended school here durinq the sessions 1943-'44 and '44- '45. Included among his well-earned honors were head-counselor, presi- dent of the senior class, captain of his basketball team, co-captain in baseball, and an outstanding tail- back in football.
Upon graduation he was called into the navy from which he received his discharge in August, 1946. From there he went to North Carolina State where he studied general en- gineering. He finished there this past year, and that just about brings us up to dote, because his next step was to come here, this time as a master.
The subjects which are being ably taught by Mr. Lee are plane geome- try and algebra Ill A. On top of this he is coach of the 130 lb. football team.
Everyone in the school is unani- mous in the hope that this is the first of many years that "Rock" will be teaching here.

Mr. Aldred spent three unusually successful years ar V. E. S. (43-46), which can easily be seen by the fact that he was awarded the Elmer Irving Carruthers Trophy his senior year. This trophy goes to the senior each year who is the best all-round ath- lete with the highest scholastic re- cord; adequate evidence as to Mr. Aldred s abilities. He also ably held down the councilor duties on East Short Dorm. He left V. E. S. to at- tend Davidson College, where he
stayed two years. His last two years devoted to higher learning were spent at Roanoke College.
It is with a warm pleasure that we find Mr. Aldred in our midst once more.

Mr. Magill feels no strangeness for V. E. S. for he enrolled here in 1939. However, his course of study was interrupted for a period while he

Preview of the 130 Lb. Team
The 130 lb. team is hoping for a very successful season. They are out to revenge the many short comings of the past two year's teams. Mr. "Rock" Lee, the new coach, is work- ing hard with the 20 members of this year's squad. Although they lost the season opener 7-0 to Fort Hill, they are anxious and capable of a quick rebound.
