THE METEOR
The Old Astrologer
Say fellows, before I get my "ole" telescope and cast my gaze toward the Blue Ridge Foothills, how about letting you in on some good "ole" gossip. Now I hope you don't mind me being a little morbid, but I'm sure you all have had this experience at least once.
He had choked her. She was dead; there was no doubt about it. He had listened to her dying gasp. Now she was cold, cold as the hand of death. Yet, in his anger, he was not convinced. Furiously he kicked her. To his amazement she gasped, sput- tered, and then began to hum softly. His wife said, from the back seat: "you see? Just a little patience is all it takes, John." This was the Hey· ward family.
Now here's the sad tale of a lad who was determined to break himself of the embarrassing habit of putting his foot in his mouth. It was a beauti- ful night at a wonderful dance and he had it all figured out that a compli- mentary expression for any girl was to tell her how cool she looked. Just then, the belle of the ball walked to- ward him.
But instead of saying, " How cool you look," he blurted, "you don't look so hot tonight."
Poor boy. Try not to ever get yourself in that spot, but have you ever heard what a losing jockey says to his horse.
"Roses are red, violets are blue Horses that lose are made into
glue."
Well, as my gossip began, so it
ends, on a morbid note.
Patrolman Smith was seen running
up to Mrs. Jones' door, and over- heard yelling, "Mrs. Jones, it's your husband. A steamroller just ran over him." "Well, don't just stand out there, " shouted Mrs. Jones. "Slide him under the door."
Well, what's new? 0, my tele- scope. I have to take one quick glance at my old Alma Mater before getting back to sleep. My favorite job.
Hmn, let me see now, get this thing focused right. Here comes John, Sam, George and Eddy. Bless their little spinning heads, been up to see Bess and Harry. Have fun fellows?
Hup, "What's this?" Quickly level- ing his gaze toward the gym. Some- body do something. Get Mr. Lee
off Mr. Dawson. He's breaking his leg. "Wow, what a man!"
Suddenly hearing another yell, the "Ole" Astrologer quickly turns his g a z e s o u t h w a r d t o find Ray flying a r o u n d M a i n Do r m w i t h M c Q u a i l right behind him saying, " Now sim· mer down roommate, I'm not going to hurt you."
Well before anyone · gets killed, I'm getting out of here. See you next month folks. Have a swell sp ring vacation and the old infirmary will
b e w a i t i n g f o r you when you back.

Doug is a second year boy here at V. E. S. and his gridiron activities, sc hool work, and popularity speak for themselves. Being Secretary of the "V-Club," a member of the Coun- selor body, he was also All-State quarterback during the past football season. Having a grand and glorious record during his two year tenure with the school, he is expected to do great things in the future and we wish him all the luck in the world!

Home: In the thriving metropolis of Gretna, Va.
Usually seen: With his nose in the books.
Ambition: Joan (The "Long gone") wouldn't have anything to do with it!
Pet Hate: "Messages" from a certain girls' school in Danville.
Tommy ran into school last year and, to be truthful about it, hasn't stopped yet. He's a member of the V-Ciub, having earned a monogram on the track team, and is a member of the Honor Committee. Ranking very high in his school work, Tom is also a member of the choir, and a very active "man-about-school" per- forming his Counselor duties. At the end of this year, the school will say g o o d b y e t o a swell lad a n d wish him loads of luck in everything.
