Andrew Currence Woofter, Jr.
Two years ago a big maroon Cadil- lac roared into school to announce the entrance of one A. Woofter. His roommate floated down the Nile to greet him and carry his alligator bags to his room. To add to his historical admirers, he soon took a liking to Lynchburg's own "Cinderella" and from somewhere there came the famous quotation: "She gets more
beautiful every day."
And what of Possum's athletic
career? Well, he's saving up for the pros.
His dramatic career, however, is quite another matter. He has had several opportunities to demonstrate his theatrical ability, notably in a memorable sausage throwing episode at the Little Theatre last spring.
From his first month his grades were above average and this year he has been an honor roll student most of the time. He apparently thought the school ought to be better represented by the Woofter name, so he scanned the mountainsides of West Virginia
and brought Joe (Robin Hood) Woof- ter up here with him.
Between all his studying, "Pos" takes time to play a little ping-pong

A five gun salute goes off for each
year that Ted has been with us. At- tending V. E. S. as a day student, he has become one of the best known and best liked boys here, a fact demonstrated when he was elected secretary-treasurer of the Senior Class. He has made consistently high grades, thus adding to his fine record in other fields.
Ted's first year he played 13 and Under Basketball and began show- ing promise, even then, of being a
good athlete. Also he played J. V. Baseball that spring.
His second year he played on a winning IS and Under Basketball team and repeated his performance in baseball. An injury his third year prevented his continuing athletics for a while, but this year Ted has been popping in baskets for the J. V.'s.
Ted has done a lot of excellent w_or_k for the_ Meteor, always handling d1ff1cult ass1gnments with ease and efficiency. This year he was made managing editor in recognition of this work and has continued to be one of the mainstays of the staff. He is also a veteran of two trips to Lex-

This makes about two years that Jimmy has been around V. E. S. and he has proved to be a fine all-around athlete as well as a good student.
Last year, he played J. V. Basket- ball and was high scorer in almost every game. When spring came around, " Thief" swiped a glove and was a great shortstop for the Bishops. He covered a lot of territory and his co-ordination paid off as well at the plate, where he was one of the lead- ing batters. Later he became a mem- ber of the V Club.
This year he showed a great deal of ability on the hardwood and is shar- ing top scoring honors with Craighill. Jim's a hard driver and a good play- maker, giving trouble to all his op- ponents.
"Thief" has had study out most of his stay here and even with senior subjects has achieved better than average grades.
~ith spring again on the horizon, we II look forward to seeing another good performance from Jim on the diamond.
If you ever wonder where Jim's from, just say something bad about Georgia Tech and then be prepared to run. Here's hoping that he does as well down there as he has up here.
