Sltissa bird, its a plane, itis’. . . AE (a . a mild-mannered reporter.” GEORGE LOGAN FORSYTH Bremo Bluff, Virginia Arriving as a freshman in the New Era, Logan terminates the thirty-eighth year of Forsyths at this school. He is probably the only clan member who has witnessed and been a part of the physical and social revolution in the school. Logan is notable as an individualist; he is an ar- dent defender of his ideas. His countless contribu- tions to group discussion, in class and out, have been invaluable in providing necessary support, or opposi- tion, depending on the nature of the deliberation. Athletically, Logan has participated in wrestling for two years, and in track and cross country for the extent of his stay. Having earned two varsity letters in track and cross-country, Logan has been a Mono- gram Club member since his junior year. In the fall of his senior year, he was elected co-captain of the cross country team. Logan has accomplished, among other distinc- tions, those of counselorship and lay-out manage- ment for the Meteor. Academically he ranked tenth in his sophomore and junior years. In his junior year, he tied for second place in the NMSQT. The University of Virginia’s School of Engineer- ing is his next stop.

“Pss-ss-st. What do I do now, Bill?” Perhaps the place was somewhat dull two years ago after most of the Old Regime boys had gone. Any- way, that was the year Robert Ford pulled up stakes in Lincolnton, N. C., to come to VES. One thing can be said for certain: there has never been a dull moment with Robert. His quick wit and usually sick puns immediately set him aside as an individualist, someone a little different from the aver- age guy. This characteristic has given Robert much popularity and many friends, especially on Thursdays. It was hoped that Robert would divert his endless energy (which he expelled mostly on the books, rank- ing third in his class in his junior year) to the extra- curricular activities of the school. And this he did. In his second year, Rob lent his golden bass voice to Mr. Gunn for the glory of all. He also found time to play a part in the dramatic production, Oedipus Rex. Robert earned his only nickname, Rompin’ Robbie, from the eloquent public speaker, Timmy Wood, who wrote an account of a football game in which Robert played. Aside from football, soccer and tennis fill Robert’s athletic commitments. Next fall Robert hopes to settle down at UNC at Raleigh, where he claims he will be happiest studying engineering.

Since then he has proven to be well above average in his ideals, achievements, and hopes for the future. He has worked hard in the academic area, and he has devoted much time to his own development and to that of the school. The head, as he well deserves to be called, is the head of his class in scholarship, the head counselor of the student body, and the president of the honor committee. He is also editor of the Meteor. Other honors include membership in student Vestry, a position which particularly shows his interest and adaptability to all modes of school life. Bill is also a member of the choir-glee club. His singing ability was awarded last year when he was chosen the best bass singer in the choir. After three years of struggle, Bill finally earned his Var- sity letter in golf, thus becoming a member of the Monogram Club. Prior to this, Bill earned recognition on the freshman and J.V. basketball teams, and in cross-country. Wherever he goes to fulfill his ambition to study medicine, Bill will be leaving behind many lasting mementos of his four years. Because he was helpful and patient with all who sought him, he will long be remembered and respected by his fel- low classmates and teachers. “T'll ask you one more time—what’s AT {2 House?” WILLIAM LEICESTER FOSTER, JR.
