gett, Kevin Merritt, Wes Wat- kins, Billy Thomas, and Jim Hill.

community meetings. Kirk Brown had organized this first meeting and encouraged every- one to come. I volunteered to be the secretary and run off minutes of the meeting, and somehow I became responsible for writing this article in the newspaper to
explain to everyone what we are trying to do.
One evening last winter sev- eral faculty members and their spouses had an impomptu meet- ing to discuss our school insur- ance policy. As the group was getting ready to leave, someone mentioned how helpful and infor-
mative it had been to have our talk together, and wouldn't it be nice to get together more often? Before long we enthusiastically began planning to have volun- tary meetings on a more regular
basis to discuss some of the suggestions we had for improve- ments around School and to bolster each other's morale. We
adult members of the communi- ty, as well.) We agreed that some kind of forum for discussion and for organizing and implementing changes would be•a great help to many of us, no matter how busy we already seem to be.
The first community meeting proved a success, at least accord- ing to everyone I asked. Stu- dents had many comments and suggestions to make and most of us felt that we knew each other a
little better. For the sake of all of you who were not there, here is a summary of what Mr. Brown
and some of the
which made. First, Mr.
Brown explained the

tened to Mr. Zimmer discuss what future plans he and other members of the faculty have for
VES. The Alumni also got a treat from a fellow Alumnus,
Mart Hulswit, an actor who has participated in films, T-V series and daytime dramas. Some stu-
dents may remember seeing Mr.
Hulswit on the soap opera called
"The Guiding Light," where he
portrayed Dr. Ed Bauer. Mr.
Hulswit outlined his career since
leaving VES. Mr. Hulswit was
returning for his twenty-fifth

reuruon.
Another prominent alumnus
returning for his fifth reunion was Bob Gorrell, a political cartoonist for The Richmond News Leader. He gave a very
entertaining presentation to the
and twenty-fifth reunions respec- tively. The members of the Class of 1933 attending were: William R. Baskervill, Jr., Albert T. Channing, Alfred E. Hopkinson, Clyde Jennings, Jr., Richard P. Smither and Charles McNulty. The members of the Class of 1958 attending were: Mart Hulswit, B. Gerard Locker, Jr., and Ernest M. Wood, Jr. Each received a special momento of VES to commemorate the occasion.
The weekend was a great success and the Alumni enjoyed
seeing their "old stompmg ground" and rekindling old mem- ories. The students also enjoyed hearing that things haven't changed that much around VES in the past 50 years (in regards to student life that is).
