OPINIONS An old proverb, ThaT bird is noT honesT ThaT TouIeTh his own nesT, is easily applicable To an exisTing siTua- Tion aT V. E. S. A perverTed group oT boys here seem To Take a cerTain ioy in desTroying school properTy. Why This should be no one knows, unless The oTTenders Think ThaT They are geTTing back aT The school Tor some supposed iniusTice. This group wreaks mosT oT iTs havoc in The re- creaTionaI room in The basemenT oT WesT DormiTory. Nearly every day some new damage is done. SomeThing should be done To im- press The TacT on These boys ThaT They are hurTing Themselves more Than The school. As The old saying goes, They are cuTTing oTT Their nose To spiTe Their Tace. The school doesn'T care whaT The recreaTion room looks like. IT doesn'T even 4 care wheTher The room is Thereor noT. IT merely designaTed The room as a place Tor The boys To spend Their spare Time in bad weaTher. WhaT condiTion The room is in is enTireIy up To The boys. IT seems ThaT The boys who care enough abouT The room To use iT would see ThaT iT is Taken care oT, and ThaT The boys who are causing The desTrucTion are disposed oT. OTher schools have similar rooms ThaT are very well Taken care oT. Why can'T iT be ThaT way here? We could develop The basemenT oT WesT DormiTory inTo a very nice place. The V-Club and AeronauTical Organ- izaTion have club-rooms There, The Camera CIub's dark room is There. These, plus The recreaTion room, could be properly cared Tor, and Turned inTo a True recreaTional room insTead OT The dirTy, broken-up shambles ThaT iT is now. LeT's see whaT can be done abouT iT! In AppreciaTion Two women To whom V. E. S. owes a debT oT graTiTude and appreciaTion are Mrs. Maie M. Payne and Mrs. Philip Dawson lSee coverl. Mrs. Payne graduaTed Trom PeTers- burg HospiTaI Training School Tor nurses. She Tollowecl This wiTh a posT- graduaTe course aT MT. Sinai HospiTaI in New York CiTy and anoTher aT Columbia UniversiTy Teachers Col- lege. Mrs. Payne came To V. E. S. in I937 and has had sole charge oT The inTirmary since ThaT Time. This work she has handled enTirely wiTh- ouT assisTance, excepT in cases oT emergency. Mrs. Payne handles her deparTmenT wiTh a skilled, kindly, Though Tirm, hand. She Takes a real inTeresT in all The boys and is Tire- less in her eTTorTs Tor Their comTorT and well-being while They are in her care. As Mrs. Payne is Boss in The in- Tirmary, so is Mrs. Dawson Boss in The kiTchen. Mrs. Dawson came To V. E. S. in l92I as The wiTe oT Mr. Philip Dawson lUncIe Phill. She has had sole charge oT The kiTchen Tor nearly TiTTeen years. In This Time she has Tound a way To every V. E. S. boy's hearT, noT only Through his sTomach buT by her delighTTul per- sonaliTy and kindly naTure. Mrs. Daw- son has done an excepTionaIIy Tine iob in keeping good, wholesome Tood in The School dining room, despiTe warTime shorTages and subsTiTuTes. In This small way may we, The boys oT V. E. S., show our admiraTion, respecT, and appreciaTion Tor The unseITish eTTorT These Two grand old ladies have puT TorTh Tor us. B. STuarT STephenson A naTive oT Richmond, Va., has Taken up his duTies here as insTrucTor oT Spanish, German, and elemenTary maThemaTics. A graduaTe oT Thomas JeTFerson High School in Richmond, Va., and oT WashingTon and Lee UniversiTy, he has also sTudied in The UniversiTy OT Mexico. He was a member oT The Army Air Eorces Tor nearly Three years, almosT Two oT which he spenT in lTaly. He received his discharge laTe in No- vember, I945. He has his quarTers in The inTirm- ary.
