The weekend of October,
19th, 20th, and the 21st, is dubb- ed"Parents Weekend" at V.E.S.
"Parents Weekend" allows parents to not only see their ~ons, but also take a good look mto what V.E.S. is all about.
It will hopefully begin with our J.V. Football Team mauling the
junior Woodberry squad on Fri- day afternoon at 3:30. No matter what the score, the V.E.S. spirit
will reign with terror.

him into his household for nine summers. One of Dr. Johnson's basic goals was to find a young
tennis player who had potential and would one day win the U.S.L.T.A. Interscholastic Ten- nis Championships which are
played on the University of Vir- ginia tennis courts in Charlottes- ville. Arthur Ashe was to be this
person. One of Mr. Ashe's basic points in his speech was that if a person sets his goals high enough, and follows through with

all that is necessary to fulfill them, they will one day come true.
Another point Mr. Ashe made in his speech, was that one
should never compare himself to someone with whom he may compete. In this sense, he used
this analogy: if he compared himself to the other players on
the circuit, he would never win. He said however, "that a person should set his goals as they pre- sent themselves to be beaten or subdued."
Mr. Ashe is at this point undecided on his future plans as far as tennis goes. However, he
naturally would love to go on playing as a pro. Ashe is now go- ing to school for two hours a day
.studying French, and hopes to speak it fluently by December. He stated that he has been prac- ticing public speaking, and
alluded to a possible affiliation with the ABC television net-
work.
We at V.E.S. certainly ap-
preciated Mr. Ashe having taken his own time to come down to talk to us, and hope- fully, he will open the doors to other such figures doing the
same.
