They Take Their Last Look At Sunshine and Brook
James Horner Winston
Bunny is another one of our Raleigh, N. C. boys. During his three year stay Jim has set a terrific scho- lastic pace for the entire school. He earned his membership into the V- Ciub by winning two letters in basket- ball. As a very active member of the counselor body, the G .A.A., and the Hop committee, Jim will certainly be missed next year. As he heads for U. N. C., we want to wish him well. John Britt
John hails from the great city of T arboro, N. C . A t least, he says it's great. But all kidding aside, Britt has been with us for two years and in that time he has received his varsity letter in football. He is a member of the V-Ciub and the chair. John is sure to be missed when next year rolls around.
Joseph Lawson
Joe hit the school about nine months ago, but it is without question that he has quickly made himself one of the boys. As one of the main links in the success of this year's football team, Joe earned his varsity letter and became a V-Ciub member. Joe pions to continue his education at V.M.I. next year, and we all join in wishing loads of luck to one swell
fellow.
George Smith
'George Boy" hails from the roar-
ing metropolis of Raleigh, N. C. He has paced the halls of V.E.S. for three years and his pacing has apparently been successful. Besides being one of the best liked boys on the campus, George has mode two varsity letters in basketball, and his grades have always warranted a second look. As sports editor for the Meteor, George has done a great job. He has been a counsellor and a member of the V- Ciub. George's many services will
certainly be missed next September.
Oscar Albert Shortt
AI has blessed these acres for four
years and in this period has made a great record for himself. Even that badly broken leg last year couldn't stop this boy from earning two varsity letters in football. As a V- Ciub member, counselo r, track man- ager, and Editor of the Meteor AI has proven his worth many times. There will be quite a gap to fill when
AI leaves for Carolina this year. b
THE SCHOOL Douglas Van Noppen
Puggy rolled in from N. C. just two years ago and has not gathered any moss as yet. Along the way he picked up letters twice in football and baseball, quarterback position ?n the all-state team, membership 1n t h e V - C i u b , c o u n s e l o r s h i p , m a n - aging editor of the Meteor, and mem- bership in the G.A.A. His presence in the choir was also appreciated. T h e s c h o o l is g o i n g t o b e a w f u l l y empty next year when Puggy switches allegiance to U.N.C.
Carter Field
remembered. John quickly showed his athlet1c prowess on the gridiron and followed that with similar exhi- bitions on the basketball court and track. John, a three letterman, was elected president of this year's v. Club. He is also president of the senior class and the G.A.A. But, the best recog nition of John's over-al ability was his appointment to the Head Counselor's position for this year. When this leader of the school leaves we will miss him sorely. Leonard Muse
Lonnie hit V.E.S. four years ago and from that time on we've been getting out of his way. To start on that long record the big Moose has made for himself I'll tell you about his track exploits. For three solia years we ve hod almost a one man track team and that man has been Lon. Muse has also shown his athletic ability on both the gridiron and the basketball court. This three letter· man, a V -Ciub member , has been a counselor for two years and is a member of this year's Honor Com· mittee. In everything he attempts, Lon seems to do well, and we shall certainly miss him when next year rolls around.
Robert Lee Lambeth
Bob blew into school last year and since that time has become one of the most popular boys on campus. Making his varsity letter in football and baseball, he has proven a real asset on the athletic field. Bob is a member of the V-Ciub and has re- mained well up on the scholastic list. When Bob leaves us this year, we will say good-bye to a swell fellow.
Duke Taliaferro
Duke makes his home in Fredericks- burg, Va. Duke ripped into the school in '49, but was finally torn
away at the middle of this year. His first year he lettered in baseball and in the same year he played first string center on the football squad. At the first of this year he was appointed to the counselor body, but at mid-term left school for the real college life at U. Va., where he is doing very well now. Until we got used to not seeing Duke the old place wasn't the same somehow, and still isn't. Gosh! we hated to see him go.
Frank Gilmer
Frank is another country boy, and
you name any musical instrument and he'll play it. He also played

"Bright Boy" is
V. E. S. this year after a stay of some three years. He is one of the libra- rians ond does a swell job at it too. Carter will be taking up engineering at the University of Virginia. He won't need luck next year, but we'd like to wish it to him anyway. I won- d e r w h a t t h i s s
