Gordo arrived five years ago, the perfect ex- ample of a 90-pound weakling, and through his system of body building, turned himself into a 190- pound guard for Rock Lee’s varsity. Gordon started out by playing for the freshman football team, ad- vanced to the junior varsity, and won his varsity letter in his sophomore year. Gordon decided to devote full time to football, but not until he had led the freshman basketball team in scoring in the ninth grade. In his sophomore year, Gordon became a member of the Drama Society and had a role in the pro- duction of Billy Budd. With that one fling at acting, Gordon retired to the weights, and after two years of makeshift weight rooms, he was considered strong enough to serve as a guard at the palace of Oedipus Rex. After Gordon’s four years at college and his capturing of the “Mr. Universe” title, everyone will be looking for “Gordo’s Amazing Body-Building Program” on the back of his favorite comic book.

TALBOT SANBORN BEST Morganton, North Carolina You turn me on. After stumbling in from some other North Carolina prep school and “finding himself” academically, Sandy has been able to maintain an average capable of putting him into the top of his class. Sportswise, he has managed soccer, for which he was awarded a varsity letter. He has been an acolyte, a mem- ber of the choir, and a member of the Meteor staff. Sandy’s most prominent quality is his willingness to lend a helping hand in almost any situation. His helpful spirit has led him into all areas of school life. From VES — back to the Carolinas — but with a renewed spirit. = Re et tina V.E.S. is for the birds

Yankee, go home! NAPEEPHONG BULYALERT Chiengmai, North Thailand Anything Nappy did not know before he came to the States, he knows now. We have witnessed the corruption of a truly great guy. Aside from being an all-around corrupt guy, Nappy has won acclaim in the classroom and on the athletic field. He has played two major sports, win- ning his varsity letter in soccer. He has run a hard cinder path for the track team. In his spare time, Nappy has helped the better seniors on dorm with their physics and calculus homework. These services he has performed only after he has completed his duties as self-appointed counselor of his dorm. All this activity has left him little time for his other pursuits, which include listening to the “Beachboys” and reading Playboy. With all he has learned at VES, Nappy is certain of success wherever he goes from here. Chinese laundry
