Robbie Brooke
Robbie hails from Staunton and has graced the campus since Sep- tember. He is almost consistently on the honor roll. Mr. Magill says that he is a very good French stu- dent. He was a captain on Mr. Ma- gill's famous 4-F squad. He is now one of Mr. Hall's chain gang. He re- sides on Mr. Zettler's dorm and late at night the privileged few are al- lowed to hear his guitar solos; he also plays the piano and flute. His main duty is to keep an eye on Rope, that golf playing, ward-heeling politician of a roommate of his. Robbie is still undecided about next year's plan but he's sure to go great, wherever he goes.
James William Quillen arrived at V. E. S. two years ago, from the re- mote little village of Lebanon, hidden in the hills of southwest Virginia. In the short time that he has been here Bill has made both an impressive record and a host of friends. His first year here Bill played varsity baseball and made day study out. This year he is the business manager for the Meteor and the campu~ represent- ative for S. H. Franklin.
"Willie Q." is also a member of the QUINTET and a charter member of the school A. A. Chapter. He is well known for his active participation in both of these organizations.
Everyone will be sorry to see Bil! leave us next year for College. He hasn't decided yet between W. &L. and the Colorado School of Mines, but wherever he may go, we wish him the best of luck.
Peter T. Way
It certainly can be said that Pete
is full of the old school spirit. In his
last Alma Mater, Shattuck, Pete was
the corner stone of the senior class
and although he has been here at
V.E.S. only a few months, we are
proud to say that he has gotten
pretty stoned in our senior class also.
Like all good V.E.S. boys, Pete has
given freely of his se rvice to the
school by participating in our ath.
letic program. On the J.V. basket-
ball team he was gl'ven the title of
our best offensive team mate and 810· on our track team he is our star miler. Joh1

You can tell where Farinholt's mind is running. He's pasting women all over the wall instead of Mickey Mantle.
Em, Houck, and Trichell mix a time bomb to throw in Doo Doo's room, but B-Bar-B throws a monkey wrench (and 10 demerits) into the works.
Sid's "eversharp" buddy tells Trig class that "some of you boys who were at pool rooms and beer halls should be at school studying." Com- ment by Sid, "Ha, ha, ho, ha."
