V. E. S. PLANTING COMMITTEE SUBMITS FOLLOW-UP REPORT ON BEAUTIFICATION TO ALUMNI AND FRIENDS
A recent issue of the Meteor carried an article concerning the formation of the V.E.S. Planting Committee and the desire of its members to see the campus and buildings beautified by the addition of s o m e foundation planting. Through letters, word of mouth, and our article, an appeal was issued for funds with which to carry out this project.
While having complete confidence in the response of our alumni, par- ents and friends, the ladies of the Planting Committee were at first stu nned, th en increasingly elated as a flood of contributions poured in. With gratitude, gratification, and alacrity the plans were re-adjusted to include not only the contem- plated planting around the Main Building, but also the Headmaster's house and the new Faculty apart- ment. In addition, and beca use of the generous response, the Com- mittee was able to afford the pro- fessional services of a local nursery, a move which, it was felt, would en- sure the success of the operation.
With one or two exceptions, all of the shrubs and trees initially con-
templated are now in. At one side and all along the front of the Main Building a r e (we a r e +old!) o s m a n - thus, dogwood, and three types of holly-Burfordii, microphylla, and convexa. A gift of four English box- wood bushes, together with virbur- nam and cottoneaster, has been put along the front of the Headmaster's house. Behind the Faculty apart- ment is a row of white pine, at each end of the row is a small clump of mingled pink and white dogwood, and between the two houses is an English holly-also a gift.
It is our understanding that the indefatigable members of this Com- mittee have two other projects in mind which we hope to announce in this year's final issue of the Meteor. In the meantime, we extend to all who took part in this project our deepest gratitude-to those who gave money and shrubs, and to Mr.
R. M. Barker, of Lynchburg, who donated a vast amount of wire fenc- ing for the protection of the new plants from the depredations of man and beast. Our special thanks, how- ever, are due the members of the Planting Committee, who modestly
