NOVEMBER, 1951
The Headmaster's Study
Homecoming Week-end has come and gone-most successfully, too- and even Hallowe'en passed without a visitation from the rather mundane goblins who sometimes ca ll. And now our boys are looking forward to Thanksgiving and its holidays, trying, we hope, to get some work done in the meantime.
That Homecoming was such a pleasant week-end is due to the loyal co-operation of everyone at the School. I know that the several activi- ties are described in detail elsewhere in this issue and I merely wish to re- cord here my thanks to all who helped to make the occasion pleasant, not only for the School itself but for our alumni and our other visitors. To our coaches and our football team which took the field and played gallantly against the odds of weight and ex- perience; to Mr. Wyatt and the Hop Committee for arranging a delight- ful and colorful dance (yes, the Cava- lier was excellent); to the Dietitian and her staff, who handled the extra lo ad placed upon them without let- ting us see the extra effort that was necessary,-toalltheseourespecial thanks. The alumni luncheon meeting was a happy affair and we are all in- debted to Mr. Gannaway for the time an.::l effort that he expended in arranging it. The a rchaic photo- graphs which Mr. Banks contributed to the bulletin board were a finishing
touch and were much enjoyed by re- turning alumni and also by the present generation of V. E. S. boys.
The occasion showed the value of concerted effort, which is but another name for school spirit. W e hope that, as the session progresses, this spirit will become more and more evident in every phase of our life and work here and that every boy in the School will learn more and more to work and to play in harmony towards the best interests of the whole group. This is not regimentation; it is the voluntary action of boys and young men working toward a common goal. Such concerted action occasionally calls upon us to make sacrifices but the feeling of having made a sacrifice often disappears in the satisfaction of achieving one's goal. And the achievement of a definite goal in education and in living ought to be the purpose of every V. E. S. boy.
