SOCIETY Juke Box Hop Many weary legs moved to the rhythm of a Wurlitzer at the gym November 18, after a hard fought R.-M. A. football game. After sev- eral postponements the dance finally happened, and was a big success. Many of the girls were present for the first time, most of them lassies from Randolph-Macon. The usual number of holdovers from past seasons were present, but missing were many who had been digging the jive at V. E. S. for the past three or four years. The dates were as follows: Miss Louise MacCleod with William White, Miss Laura Lee Stickley with Hal Dunbar, Miss Jean Wile liamson with Perrin Gower, Miss Betty Adkerson with Jack Sprague, Miss Julia Winston Ivey with Ma- son Thomas, Miss Anne Amonette with Jack Parrott, Miss Ann Adker- son with Dale Terry, Miss Virginia Hollifield with Jimmy Sublett. Miss Betty Beasley with Bob Arthur, Miss Julia Parks Ivey with Jim Bala 1011, Miss Stuart Handy with Frank Smith, Miss Martha Trippe with John D. Follett.

The guests were Miss Nancy Louise Bell and parents, and the mother and grand- parents of the host. The refresh- ments were ice cream and cake. :0: Miss Ward's Hepsters When Miss Floyd Ward came to V. E. S. last month to an- nounce the beginning of the cotilu lion club, she was met with en- thusiastic cheers and clapping. The study hall went wild at the sight of the leader who is respon- sible for bringing much fun to the student body on Saturday nights throughout the year. This year Miss Ward is using a juke box instead of the piano music of former years. For this reason the boys and girls are now dancing to the music of Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and all the rest of the cream of the crop. Miss Ward brings the girls at eight oiclock. Until eight-thirty the boys with two left feet dig some of the rudiments of danc- ing. At eight-thirty the boys with previous dancing experience assemble. Until nine-forty-five the session is carried on in reg- ular dance form. The girls are all from Lynch- burg. Most of them are old friends of the boys. The dancing class is therefore a popular in- stitution. Come In and Look Over the NEW FALL STYLES WlLLS-CAMP CO. 8I9 Main Street SEE WELLFORD METEORITES Hileman Hit Hard One of the most amazing pieces of recent school news is that the tra- ditional calm and dignity of Third West has been shattered! This astonishing occurrence is due to none other than Babe Hileman, who has been smitten and overcome with passion. The object of Babes amorous aspirations is a Hollywood star, whose picture hangs conspicuously at the foot of his bed; but the hope- lessness of Hilemanls situation should be evident, for a mountaineer like himself, unaccustomed to the usages of social life and ignorant of its refinements, would hardly be able to offer fit companionship for such an exalted person. He has continued blindly in his adoration of the young lady, to the great detriment of his lessons and other affairs. By the hour, he sits, sighing, at his table, over some textbook which he has not bothered to open, gazing, enrap- tured, at the picture, which, we must admit, is, though fully clothed tre- markable for Babel, is quite pleasa ant and soothing to the optics. Until recently he lacked the nerve to write to the object of his adoration. But one of his sympa- thetic friends, Peele, not realizing what he was doing, encouraged Babe to write to the celebrity, and trembl- ing with emotion, our hero finally did. Full of hope, now, however, Babe mailed it, and immediately began to suffer agonies of impatience as he waited for the results of his elo- quence. However, a considerable amount of time has passed, and dis- pair is gradually casting its shadow across his fond hopes. His devoted charges on Third West, foreseeing the sad hour when the last spark of hope will die, have thoughtfully, unselfishly, laid in a stock of lethal devices for Hilemanls use when, at last, realizing that he has been disdained and therefore unable to face further existence, he decides to end his torments. This is the only possible outcome they can foresee to Babeis hopeless passion, and they think it probable that he will request that his admir- ers commit his corpse to the school incinerator and send the ashes tit he can raise the postagei to the movie queen who proved his ruin, Miss Shirley Temple.

SPORTS Pen Mightier Than Sword October 28. Playing their first game away from home. the Bishops trounced the cadets 0f Fishburne Military School 41-24 in a wiId-scoring contest on Fish- burne Field. As in the foregoing games, the passing combination of ltRoCk Lee to Capt. Mole'i Perry paved the way for the Bishops. The Fishburne secondary was unable to get the glue off Perry,s hands. Bishops Score First The Bishops hit pay dirt first after taking a blocked cadet kick on the 45. Lee-to-Perry passes moved the ball to the 5, and Lee skirted the end for the touchdown. Leeis try for point was no good. A bad center pass accounted for two points more for the Bishops when the ball went over the tail hack's head and into the end zone. After the cadet kickoff Lee carried the ball to the Fish burne 30. and from there shot a pass to Perry for another touch- down. Again the try for point was wide. Cadets Score in Second Quarter The cadets opened a passing show of their own in the second quarter. Bringing the hall to the V. E. S. 25, they passed for their first touchdown. The try for ex- tra point was blocked. Later taking the ball on their own 20, the Bishops marched to the cadet 10 on passes to Perry and Betty and runs by Lee and Betty. After holding for one play, the cadets yielded as Betty smashed over. A pass from Lee to Perry scored the first extra point of the game. With the V . E. S. reserve team in, the cadets passed to the visitors, 20 and then ran the ball over. The extra try was again no good. The half ended with Fishhnrne in possession of the ball on its own forty. Sleeping End Pass Scores The cadets held the Bishops still for four downs 0n the five- yard line and then pulled a usleeping end pass that paid off six points. Later after taking the ball on their own 20. the cadets again tried passing, but this time Lee intercepted one on the cadet 8 40 and counted again for the Bishops. A pass from Lee to Perry scored the extra point. Both Teams Score in Final Quarter Taking the ball on the cadet 50. the Bishops rolled to the 10 011 a pass from Lee to Arthur. From there Betty ran the ball over. Lee kicked the extra. The Bishops kicked off, but recovered a tumble on the Fish- burne 35. Koch, back in punting position, heaved a pass to Perry on the 15. Long ran off tackle to score, but the extra point was no good. The last score of the game came on another ltsleeping end pass by the cadets. but again they were unable to kick the extra point. H Bishops Humble High School The annual classic between V. E. S. and Episcopal High School ended in a 6-0 victory for the Bishops. Played in a high wind, which either lengthened 0r shortened most of the kicks. the game was one of the hard- est-fought contests in years. The Bishops avenged last year's defeat and added another victory to the im- pressive string of victories for the 1944 season. However the Bishops have defeated the Alexandrians three out of the last four years. V. E. S. Almost Scores in First Quarter Capt. Clay Perry won the toss and elected to kick off. Lees bounding kick was picked up by Richards on the flfteen-yard line, and he danced his way to the 35. From here E. H. S. started a sustained drive with Don West leading,r the way. As Episcopal advanced on the V . E. 5.. goal line, the fighting Bishops line began to close up. They held for four downs on the 19. After a try at the line, Lee got off a quick kick that caught the wind and rolled out of bounds on the E. H. S. 21. Westis punt met the wind going the wrong way and went out of bounds on the E. H. S. 40. Lee faked a pass and was finally downed on the 24. Two passes to Perry put the ball on the 8. Betty and Lee drove to the one- inch line, where E. H. S. took over. E. H. S. Threatens in Second Quarter The first part of the second quar- ter developed into a kicking duel with Koch 0f the Bishops doing a superb job against the high wind. A twenty-five yard aerial, Lee to Per- ry, featured the only V. E. S. threat. Late in the quarter Episcopal re- covered a tumble on the Bishops, 40. From here came the most deter- mined drive that the Episcopal team made. West began to hit Daniel, Frazier, and Richards with short tosses, and they moved to the ten- yard line. The half time whistle blew as the Bishop backfield rose up to knock down Wesfs intended touchdown toss to Richards deep in the end zone. - Lee Injured The second half opened with Lee intentionally kicking out of bounds. E. H. S. took over on their 35 and thus started another punting duel. The Bishops made the only threat of the quarter when Lee passed to Perry on the E. H. S. 30. Things began to get on the rough side, and the rough work came to a climac- tical point as Lee of V. E. S. took a punt on his 30 and was knocked unconscious by left end Frazier of Episcopal. Jimmy Whiteis running was a high spot for the Bishops dur- ing this quarter. V. E. 5. Scores The Garysburg Express? Billy Long, took over at tail back as the fourth quarter opened. Long and White began to drive. With the aid of two third-down penalties, they advanced to E. H. S. 30 Long then dropped a pass into Jim Ballou's outstretched hands, and ttThe Hip caught it in stride on the 15 and crossed the goal standing up. Mad- duxis extra point attempt was wide. Maddux kicked off to the E. H. S. 15, and West returned to the 50. E. H. S. was forced to punt. West's kick again met the wind and went practically nowhere. White of V. E. S. then cracked the line three straight times and wentsall the way to the E. H, S. 30. Here the attack bogged down and Episcopal took over. With only seconds remaining E. H. S. took to the air. A long pass fell into Danielis hands on the V. E. S. 40 as the game ended. Line-ups: V. E. S. Pox. E. H. S. Perry ...................... RE .................... Daniel Koch .............. .....
