ingly. And there were others. To- gether they made up our team. I'll not soon forget that team. We start- ed off winning our first two games by large scores. We talked of hav- · ing another of those undefeated, un- tied, and unscored-upon teams. W e met Lovingston and lost the last third of our ambition. W e would settle for
undefeated. Two games later we lost to the Orphanage. And then we tied the last one.
I played the last football game I'll ever play last Friday. There was no storybook ending, and no storybook season, for that matter. But we were proud of what we had accomplished anyway. And I'll remember being part of that team as one of the best parts of my life at V. E. S.

WHO'S WHERE
The following letter, written by Christopher Stockbridge, who was graduated from V. E. S. and is now living in England , was recently received by the Alumni Secretary.
Dear Mr. Gannaway, Mr. Banks, and V. E. S.:
Everytime the Meteor arrives it is with fresh intention that I say once again-a letter must be written to V. E. S. to tell them how we've been getting along, after all they are good enough to tell me. But it was read- ing of the tragic and untimely death of a school-fellow who bunked next to me, William Hedrick, which really has made me sit down, and want to thank V. E. S. for the memory of it I treas- ure.
This I will attempt to do in two ways, I) first by giving you all the in- formation about what has happened to my brother and myself since leav- ing V. E. S. and 2) by offering hospi- tality to any member of the school who may happen to find himself in England. I believe Robert Magill is in Europe and should he come to Eng- lend or Paris I should be most happy to receive him.
But first let me offer congratula- tions to Mr. Gannaway on the mar- riages of his two daughters and to ail of you on the magnificent develop- ment of the school. Judging by the photographs in the Meteor I would scarcely recognize the school were it not for the foot worn rut called a demerit track. Does this still run down to the gym, bear left by the tennis courts?
Well to begin with, on leaving V. E. S. at fifteen I went to the Uni- versity of Chicago and by working through the summer got my B.A. de- gree in two years. Of course this was only a junior college and the work was rated as equivalent to two years at a traditional college level. By this time the war was over and my mother and I came back to England on the S. S. Queen Elizabeth. It was still six months before I was due to be called into the army for national serv- ice, so the time was spent in the re- search laboratories of Pye Radio, one of the largest firms over here. My brother Hugh in the meantime was with the R. A. F. in Karachi India. Presently call-up came and with it plenty of what we call "square-bash-
