quarterback on the J. V. football team, and did an excellent job at short-stop on the Varsity baseball 1eam. He is a member of the V-Ciub, and is one of the best natured boys ·nschool. He is also one of the most popular boys in school. His work can talk for itself, so we'll say so long to
THE SCHOOL
without him. We'll see you around Dusty, so best of luck.
Elliot Bass
This fish is the grandaddy of us all. He has been here five and a half years, and after all the preparation
for college, his Uncle Sam needs a hired hand. Without Bass here, the buildings will probably fall in. This big, quiet boy has a sly sense of humor, and is popular with everyone. So when he leaves in the '88 for the last time, we'd like to wave farewell and good luck to a nice guy.
Lemuel Blades
Gillette is an ever sharp Tar Heel
who is usually seen puffing away on a pipe in the store or by the horse- shoe pits. He has spent one brief year with us before heading to col- lege (U.N.C., of course. Where else?) Lem is one of those chair boys and has been assistant manager in a couple of sports. Although it's been brief, it's been pleasant. So we'll reluctantly say good-bye to a swell boy.
Jack Thomas
Jack came amongst us last Sep- tember and since then has become President of the Giant Story Telling Club. Jack can tell many a tale, which has led to his becoming one of the best liked boys at V.E.S. He is an honorary member of the Fat Boys Club, and loves to hoof it over to Peakland. Jackie boy will be leaving us this June, and will be heading for V.P.I. But the memories of his stories and his yarns will live on for- ever.
Frank Farmer
Frank came to us from Roanoke, via way of Hargrave, a few years ago, and since, has become a counse- lor, a V-Ciub member, a chair mem- ber, and has done outstanding work
managing the track team. Frank must be called the V. P. of the Fat Boys Club, weighing in at around 210. He lettered in football last fall, and he is another member of the Great Story Telling Club. Frank will be heading for V.M.I. next year and what this school will do for a track manager, we don't know. We'd like to say good-bye to a swell guy who will long be remembered.
Thomas Clairborne Creasy stopped by V.E.S. two years ago and hasn't been able to tear himself away since. He produced his first year, constant
honor roll grades, along with a Varsity letter in track, which took loads of work. Work is what Tom is noted for, because, he seems to be part of everything here. This year, he was appointed to the Honor Committee, one of the highest positions a boy can have in this school. Not only all this but Tem has also distinguished himself for work in The Meteor. Next year Tom plans to stop by Chapel Hill; Tom, we know you will do well there too, and Good Luck.
Dell Pritchard Lindsley drifted into school last fall for the first time, and hasn't quito figured it out since. Nevertheless, Pritch has dono well. He lettered in football, and entered the VClub, and has had study out steadily . Right now it looks like Pritch is going to the army when school is out this year. When Pritch is gone, this old place won't be the same. We will sure miss you Pritch.
George Locher, noted for his port- able television receivers, hails from Glasgow, Va. George came to the old 160 acres last fall, and right away made himself a letter in foot- ball. He found himself one of the most popular boys in school, and frequc1tly on the honor roll. George plans to enter V.M.I. next year and be a soldier for a while. Best of luck George, we sure will miss you. Stephen Quillen
Stephen Quillen came to the Halls of V.E.S. three years ago from the corn fields of Lebanon. Steve is now a member of the "V" club after let- tering in baseball this year. Before winning his letter, Steve was an active participant in J. V. sports mainly football and baseball. He moves on to Washington and Lee University next year to take up law. So long Steve, we'll miss you next year.
Benjamin Parrott
Ben has been with us four years now and since the middle of last year he has been a member of the coun- selor body. He lettered in football last year while lending his weight to our championship team. This very likable lad is one of the more prom-
inent members of the Fat Man's League and does some pretty heavy duty as a chorister in our chapel choir. When V.M.I. welcomes Ben next year, the Keydets will gain im- mensely and our loss will be irrepair- able. We'll miss him so.
you, Franklin, a n d g o o d your crops next year.
luck with
Jim Hunter
Jimmy came in from the coal fields
of West Virginia a few years ago, and since then has become a coun- ,elor, a V-Ciub member, and has earned his letter in both football and track. Jim has one of the highest scholastic averages in school, and w'th him at W & L next year, this school will lose a fine lad with a fine record. G o o d luck, J i m .
Jo Banks
Jo has been around quite a few
1ears, and it'll be a sad place with- out him next year. He's heading to Washington & Lee after a number of years here. During his visit, he has had about the third highest average in school, he is a counselor, and also earned his way into the V-Ciub by being manager of this year's baseball ·earn. Jo is also on The Meteor staff, taking care of the alumni . W e'd like to say good-bye and good luck to fOU, Jo. Keep up the good work. Horace Ray
With the coming of graduation this year one of our finest athletes, as well as an excellent student and counselor will be leaving. It will cer- tainly be hard to fill his place.
Horace, better known as "Horse," has been with us for two years. In that time he has lettered ·n baseball twice. This year he was rewarded also for his fine football playing. He has served as a counse- ior, served as an acolite and sung in the choir. Horace plans to go to U.N.C., and though we hate to lose him, we feel sure that he will carry on his excellent record there.
Davis Lamson
To you alumni, he might be known as Hastings, but now he goes by the handle o f Lamson. Dusty is b e s t known by t h e work he d o e s . H e passes out ice cream to the boys down at the store. He played 130 lb. football, and was a distance man on the track team. Dusty is heading for dear ole U.N.C. next year, and the store will lose money, no doubt,
