V.E.S. is fortunate to be a school ocated ... unlike some of its brother "nstitutions . .. in a city which offers 'lluch in the way of cultural advant- oges and does, therefore, rely upon +he city to provide this aspect of
education.
The variety of offerings is amazing,
running ~he gamut from a sedate Juil- liard String Quartet concert at Ran- dolph-Macon W o m a n ' s C o l l e g e t o the highly controversial but delightful Lynchburg College production o f 'For Heaven's Sake." A student can +:nd sandwiched between these two edremes a series of travelogues or ·he '30's production o f David Copperfield and Pride and Prejudice.
The city has a splendid Fine Arts Center with three departments: drama, music, a n d a r t . Each is a
separately-functioning body, provid- 'ng, for variety, such things as "Kiss Me, Kate," "Bus Stop," "Die Fleder- maus," or an art show, either local or nationaI.
The Broadway Theater League im- ports professional talent and plays to full houses at Lynchburg's version of Radio City 'Music Hall (E. C. Glass auditorium). To d a t e , t h e citize nry nas seen the heavy "A Man for All Seasons," the light "The 'Boys from
Syrocuse," and the entertaining "A Thousand Clowns" and "Twenty Plus One." "Camelot" is scheduled for late March.
In addition to Lynchburg College and Randolph-Macon, Lyn ch burg is the home for Sweet Briar College, another outstanding woman's college.

BENEFITS
FROM L YNCHBURG
These schools sponsor frequent con- certs, plays, lectures, and foreign movies, oil of which are available to V.E.S. students and faculty if the school schedule permits.
V.E.S. contributes its share to the community, we might add, with re- nown Even song speakers, inter- changes of glee club concerts with girls' schools, and the forthcoming production of Billy Budd, about which this paper will say more in ensuing 1ssues.
Defoe's "Complete Gentleman" may be out of reach for most of today's young men, but we here at V.E.S. can be grateful that we have a sizable taste of that aspect of life which makes narrow-minded men broad minded and appreciative men more learned.

LITTLE STINKERS
A merchant visits three fairs. A t the first he doubled his money and spent $30, at the second he tripled his money and spent $54, at the third he quadrupled his money and spent $72, and then had $48 left. With how much money did he start?

GLEE CLUB CONCERT
February 29th saw the V.E.S. choir- glee club take its first venture be- yond the campus to Chatham Hall, Chatham, Va. The choir was accom- panied by Mr. Gunn, Mr. Carnes, and by twelve other V.E.S. students who joined the combined glee clubs for a dance after the concert.
Both choirs had worked long and hard in preparation for the co ncert before the Chatham Hall community. After an exhausting two hour rehear- sal, the four joint numbers were put together under the direction of Mr. Gunn and Mrs. Shufelt of Chatham Hall.
The program consisted of twelve numbers-four from the Chatham Ha ll choir (Sing Me a Song, by Vecchi; Simple Gifts, by Copland;
Velvet Shoes, by Thompson; In the Still of the Night, by Porter), four from the combined choirs (Ask if Yon Damask Rose Be Sweet, by Handel; How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling-place, by Brahms; A Swan, by Hindemith; and Summer Time, by Gershwin), and four from the V.E.S. choir (May Now Thy Spirit, by Schuetky-Treharne; David's Lamentation, by Billings; The Lord My Shepherd Is, by Lovelace; and Drinking Song, by Romberg).
The next joint concert will be with Stuart Hall in April at V.E.S.
