NOW THAT IT'S OVER
(Continued from page 3)
Chapel assemblies, of meals, of ath-
letic practice, of all the physical plant, of all functioning aspects of the School.
Finally out of it has come a general report. As a whole this report is in- deed favorable. It is not at all our purpose to go into this report. Of course there are weaknesses at Vir- ginia Episcopal School, and there are items that, while not exactly weak, can be bettered. The report cites
these things.
It is heartening, however, to know
that the School and its administra- tion, its masters, and its students were well aware of most of these weak- nesses even before the Committee came.
Perhaps the greatest benefit to be derived from the whole program is the strengthening of this awareness that it has brought home to all of us. Through the long term of preliminary preparation, and then the known presence of prying eyes and ears, and finally the organized oral and written report made by the Committee we certainly should be very clearly aware of a great deal now that we were only dimly aware of previously. Now the big question poses itself: Will this awareness result in con- structive effort?
Our visitors were most courteous, co-operative, patient, and helpful throughout their stay with us. They gave most unselfishly of their time, and indeed their work was difficult, confining, and prolonged. W e must remember, too, that they are all very busy men who left their own work and came to us without remuneration. In the hope that it will not be en- tirely without our thanks, we list their names :
Mr. Franklin D. Kizer, Assistant Super- visor of Secondary Education, State Board of Education, Rich- mond-Chairman
Mr. John D. Richmond, Principal of Martinsville High School, Martins- ville, Virginia
Mr. Joseph M. Mercer, Headmaster of Woodberry Forest School, Woodberry Forest, Virginia
Mr. L. H. McCue, Jr., Principal of E. C. Glass High School, Lynch- burg, Virginia
Mr. Willis H. Wills, Academic Dean of St. Stephen's School, Alexandria, Virginia

FAMILIAR FACULTY QUOT A TIONS
"Don't misquote me! That's how rumors get started!"
"Who's read the assignment? ... Ross? . ,,' . Delagrange, what's the answer?
"I think (puff, puff) you deserved that demerit, Churchill (puff, puff). Don't argue with rt'le! (puff, puff) Do you hear me? Don't argue!"
"And there we were, stuck on the ridge in zero degree weather, com- pletely surrounded, and with only mortar shells to back us up ..."
"Ahem, Ahem! Are there any an- nouncements?"
"So if the shortstop throws the man out at first and the distance from first to second is ninety feet, you can find the hypotenuse."
"No! You're overdrawn.'
"We'll have time for questions later. Say it, somebody."
"Carry on."
"I don't wish any potatoes."
Mr. James B. Massey, Jr., Head- master of Norfolk Academy, Nor- folk, Virginia
THE OLE ASTROLOGER Well, here I am back after a ten day snooze on my foam lined mat-
tress.
As I was zooming through Raleigh
on the way back, I looked in on 'Hound Dog Grant. He was busy making out with his true love, "The
Priceless Wonder".
As I look in on the fabulous phy-
sics class, I see Zealy getting bugged up as "Der Boy' tells him he is a child. 'Thief' thinks this is really funny until he finds out that he's one too. Then he dies crying. I also see "Sneaky Pete" sitting on "Whino's" lap. Get it boy!!
We now have two of the armed forces Big Brass in our midst-Gen- eral Sparrow and Admiral Richard E. McNulty.
As I was gathering up all the copies of Boswell out of the library, I noticed that three great new books have been donated by the Book of the Month Club-Brewer's "Believe It or Not," Ross's " History of G reece," and Ben Lee's "History of Grease."
Jo Jo is seen getting in shape for the coming baseball season. He is trying to perfect a terrific curve. So far it has worked because he hasn't been scored on yet.
I hear things are nice and quiet on the Diaper Dorm since Shepherd and Cartledge find out that no mat- ter how many weapons they use, they just can't beat Zeke.
"Spot" gets caught while practic- ing for the Faculty 500.
The students are really surprised when they find out that ' Rover" is not 21 yet. They all thought that he was an old man.
"Cietus" Kaline is the mainstay of this year's ball team. Watch him carefully. You are looking at a future star.
Well, fans, I've got to be off to the Moon to see my buddy Higdon. See y'all next month.
