a pinn atti, Introducing . . . illiam Pendleton-Randolph Bishop, III — first in his class. First in the fiftieth class to be graduated from Virginia Episcopal School. With a touch of modesty and a completely straight face, he has told almost every girl, and a few superior prep-types, that he is first in his class. Actually, he is. Alphabetically his name has always been first on the class roster .. . When he graduates, however, he will be ranked thirtieth among his forty-six classmates. William Bishop, HI, (his parents call him Bill, but at VES — he’s Billy), was born for the Fiftieth Graduating Class; fifty years have brought him into the “goodly heritage.” In 1922 his father wore knickers and played varsity football for the school. He, too, graduated without being first in his class, but he always thought his son would be. Billy might have been, except for Latin that he never could get straight in the tenth grade and had to repeat in summer school. That turned him off on all languages, so he barely scraped through French in his junior year, which was the year he also had trouble with geometry, and that took away study time from history, not to mention English . . . Anyway, Billy Bishop enjoys the good life, and if he’s typical — he’s typical. In September he cut short his final fling at surfing, and his father brought him for early football practice and helped him unload all his gear and get his room in perfect order for his senior year. Billy would have made first-string, too, except for a leg injury on the fifth day. It just wouldn’t seem to heal. There were three different girls he poured it all out to on paper. He missed them, each one. He told them about the injury, about how he had disappointed the coach, and about how long the days were without them, each one, and about the kind of dorm he intended to run, and about how he couldn’t wait to see his old friends, and he won- dered about the new boys and the new masters, what they'd be like, and what it would be like for him — being a senior counselor and all that — with a dorm to run. He had been elected to counselorship on the next-to- last ballot in the student election in May, but Billy didn’t know he had come in on the next-to-last ballot. He knew only that he looked forward to his senior year, his greatest year: Billy Bishop, first in the Fiftieth Graduating Class — he looked for- ward to that...

VARSITY FOOTBALL Tribute to a Team the Mighty Bishops .. . 26 lmost forty boys made their way to VES on September Ist, 1966 for the annual “early football” practice which would run a week, until the beginning of classes. Most of the boys were given a preview of things to come, and everyone was looking forward to the new season. The returning backfield and many of the returning lettermen gave cause for high optimism. After working in sweats for a few days, the boys got their first taste of dust as they began some good contact work. All in all, it was a good week for football. Things were shaping-up. Coaches Lee, Soucek, and Sullivan had a great group of eager boys . Richard Wern Twists for Yardage St. Christopher’s The Bishops played the opening game of the season in Richmond against a strong St. Chris- topher’s team. The Bishops, highly touted be- cause of the returning starters and a new coach, Mr. Archie Soucek, were out to better their 4-4 record of the previous year, ’65. St. Christopher’s won the opening toss and proceeded to score on its first drive. The Bishops took the kick-off and scored on a 67 yard run by QB John Woodall. The Saints then proceeded to score three more times while holding the Bishops to a blank before the half ended. In the second-half, the spirited Bishop team held the Saints to 6 points, but they could not get an offensive drive going. The game ended in a loss, 33-6; still, with a new coach and a new system of plays, the team looked forward to the next game. Fishburne The Bishops played host to Fishburne Military Academy on a muddy, soggy soccer field for the second game of the season. Halfback Johnny Edwards tallied twice and led the offensive rushing column with 124 yards gained. Townie fullback Richard Wern also scored and gained 115 yards on the ground. There were quite a few bright spots during the afternoon as “Gen- eral” John Woodall proved that he could make the offense go. “Smiley” Ross McCaskill caught a couple of key passes, and B. K. Mundy spent his afternoon in the Fishburne backfield. The Fishburne team failed to complete a pass and totaled only 137 yards on the ground... All in all it added up to a 21-0 victory and the first win of the ’66 season. Tight-end Bruce Cunningham Helps Break Edwards Loose. Blue Ridge For the second home game for the Bishops, the Blue Ridge Barons came down from the hills. The Bishops took the opening. kick-off and marched 70 yards for a quick 6. B. K. Mundy added an extra point. The drive was sustained by a 30 yard pass to halfback John Edwards and a 27-yarder to “Smiley” McCaskill. Bruce Cunningham, the Tight End, made the score on a 12-yard pass from QB John Woodall. After the first touchdown, the Bishops decided to play it stingy. They held the Barons scoreless throughout the first half. On the other hand, John Edwards hit paydirt on a 5-yard scamper to make the half-time score 13-0. In the second-half, the Barons capitalized on Bishop mistakes and scored 6. Again the Bish- ops bounced back on a 95-yard kick-off return by the star halfback, John Edwards. The Bishops scored again and iced the game on a 33 yard bomb to Flanker “Smiley” McCaskill. John Ed- wards tallied again in the fourth quarter, and the game ended with the Bishops on top—34-12. fe Edwards Breaks for the Open Field Blueridge Game. Mundy Converts for Extra Point Norfolk Academy | The Bishops finally found Norfolk Academy after an ‘extended’ bus trip. They proceeded to jJefeat them 13-0 in their homecoming game. With the quarterbacking of John Woodall and he hard running of Richard Wern, the Bishops zot their third straight victory. It took three quarters for anyone to score, and Richard Wern did it on a devastating 55-yard jaunt. With both defenses playing at their best, the Bishops held their 6-0 lead into the fourth-quarter, when Woodall threw a touchdown pass to Bruce Cun- aingham. The pass covered 35 yards, and the zame ended on a 13-0 note. “Big Al” Williams olayed his finest game of the season at line vacker, intercepting three key passes. [oe RA AER I ER RIN UTR RE Christchurch shining 3-1 record went to Christchurch to upse the Seahorses and to take over their homecoming. Extra points provided the margin of victory in the game, and golden-toed B. K. Mundy kicked both extra points. After a scoreless first-quarter, with each team failing to show any offense, QB John “General” Woodall marched his team to a touchdown before the half ended. Woodall scored on a 12-yard scamper. In the third-quarter, full- back Richard “Moose” Wern opened things up with a block-busting 32 yard run; with the extra point, the score was 14-0. Christchurch had a homecoming crowd to please, and they came back with three quick tallies to pull out ahead of the Bishops. While the Seahorses were light- ing their fireworks, John Edwards took a kick- off back 90 yards for what proved to be the winning touchdown. After the game, the Bishops had the scoring edge, and a great, big 4-1 record.

They | also had a driving desire for revenge against their 22-20 loss in 1965 to the Collegiate Cougars. | Collegiate opened with a 76-yard touchdown’ pass. The Bishops struck back determinedly on a 12-yard pass from General Woodall to Tight- end Bruce Cunningham. From there it was all Cougar, with the Bishops leaving the field at. half-time down 35-7. In the second-half, a de- termined Bishop backfield ran with their hearts in front of the ball, and the Bishop line hit like never before. Although it was a shattering loss for the team and for all the Bishop fans, | one observer pointed out, “One thing about those boys—they never give up!” John Edwards added six points to the new scoreboard. The final score was 49-13, Randolph-Macon The Bishops, hurt by their stinging loss at the hands of Collegiate, went to Front Royal looking for revenge. | Things got started with the Jackets of RMA ‘jumping to a 19-0 lead at half-time. The Bishop’s could not get the ball rolling in the first half. ‘But, using a bit of strategy, Lee and Soucek gave the team a stiff lecture and then left it ‘to the co-captains at half-time. | The Bishops took the field in the second-half ‘with a “new” team. Scampering halfback John Edwards took the kick-off 90 yards to the RMA 6-yard line. On the following play, Edwards took a pass from the “General” and scored. The Jackets took the kick-off and scored, making it '26-7. A few plays later, VES recovered a RMA fumble, and John Edwards turned it into 6 ‘more points. This narrowed the gap on the score- ‘board to 26-13. VES held the Jackets and got the ball again. This time “General” John Woodall got six points on a 2-yard plunge. Now the score was 26-20. After this rejuvenation, every- thing looked hopeless, but the General kept calm, land after another RMA score and kick-off, he tossed “Big Al” Williams a 52-yard bomb. Then ORS Othe gram John ‘Edwards took the ball and swept around end for Against Woodberry the final tally with no time showing on the scoreboard clock. The score was 33-33, and B. K. Mundy made it look easy as he got che 34th — and the winning point — with his talented toe. Edwards Breaks Ir a 5-3 season, the three losses were not close, but if will and desire are a part of those things that turn a boy into a man, then everyone on that team had made the big transition .. . There were many outstanding moments during the season; there were many injuries and many heartbreaks ... It was the last season for twelve seniors, eight of whom were full-time performers. Co- -captains John Edwards and B. K. Mundy held two of the main posts on the team. Richard Wern, hard-driving fullback always made his bresence known, and he always managed to win a few of the girls in the stands. Center John (Chittenden was also around — he was often under a big pile, but he was always around. Right- end Bruce Cunningham came into his own |- always cocky and always ready to make six boints. General John Woodall, noted for his mental ability, remembered all his plays and helped lead the team to their 5-3 record. Defen- sive-end Dan Wherry could always be relied on ‘o make a clutch tackle. “Smiley,” the flanker, was not known for his blinding speed, but he could always flash his ivories and score against he defender. Bill Farley, Rick Manning, Steve Warden, and Hugh Whitehead — all these men had made their share of tackles.and blocks. This epilogue, then, is a tribute to all, to all the 1966 Varsity football team. Chittenden Pulls for a Block Loose up the Middle x Billy Bishop Views Action from the Bench Oh Woodberry Forest The Bishops came home for their last game of the season and their first game with Wood- berry Forest for a few years. The Tigers had heen prep champions for two consecutive years and were looking for their third title and an undefeated season. They took both. But they also went back to the Forest with a great re- spect for the Bishop team. The Bishops had se- cured their first winning season since 1957, and they were ready for the game against Woodberry. Woodberry’s P. G. quarterback, Buddy Watson, completed 12 out of 13 passes for 247 yards, leading his team to a 46-13 win over a deter- mined VES team. The strong Bishop defensive line stopped the Tigers on the ground, but the weak defensive backfield proved to be the lucky rabbit’s foot for the Tigers . .. The first-half ended with the score 39-0O—Woodberry. Behind the second-half ball carrying of Rich- ard Wern and Johnny Edwards, the Bishops added 13 points to the home side of the board. One tally came on a 69-yard drive, climaxed by a 5-yard touchdown play by Lec Leckie. John Edwards made the second touchdown as _ the season was drawing to a close. The Bishop’s team ended its last game on a low note, but it had been a- good fall sports-wise for Virginia Episcopal School.

Bill Mesick, on a 10-yard pass and John Mann, on a 50-yard reception, scored on passes from Charlie Green, who scored one himself on a QB sneak. Jack Andrews also returned an interception into a score. Conclusion: the JV’s scored 187 points in 7 games for a 26.7 average per game; the opponents averaged 10 points per game.

A fabulous array of potential stars led the 1966 VES | JV football team to a 5-1-1 record, completing Coach” Max Meador’s best season. Scoring at will, the JV’s ” opened up the season with a 27-0 victory over Brookville, as Ken Roach scored two TD’s, Bill Mesick one, and | Allan Hamblen, one, on an interception... In the second game with St. Christopher’s, the Bishops hoped to avenge. last year’s defeat and came close to doing so. The Bis-’ hops were down 12-6 (the only TD having been scored by | Ted Haigler) with about a minute left to play. QB Charlie Green called for a desperation, long bomb and connected with flanker John Mann for an 84-yard TD. The EP attempt failed, leaving the game tied, 12-12. In the fol- lowing away game, the JV’s surged from behind to defeat Blue Ridge 32-25 on the heroics of Walker Box. Box scored 2 TD’s in the final quarter, one on a pass recep- tion and the other on a fumble, thus putting the game} on ice. Ken Roach scored twice, (lost three more on penalties) and John Mann picked off a Charlie Green pass} for a 30-yard TD. The Bishops travelled to play Brookville again and easily defeated them, 34-7. Walker Box, Peter Grover, Ted Haigler — each scored one — and Bill Plunkett burst over for two TD’s. QB Charlie Green Leads the way for Fullback Ted Haigler } he freshmen had a tough season, winning only one game out of seven. Nelson County, a larger and more experienced team, defeated the Bishops in two matches, 13-0 and 40-0. Steve Shelton highlighted the first game with an eighty- five yard run. The team from Robert E. Lee was less formid- able, even though the frosh lost 32-20. Dwight Hawkins threw three touchdown passes; Charlie Merritt snared two of them and Spots Glazebrook caught the other. In a close game with Appomattox, Captain Grey Murray had his finest day running with the pigskin. Bruce Guignard scored a touchodwn on a pass from Hawkins. Because the Bishops were unable to get the extra point, the game ended Unidentified Tackler Puts the Clamps on Jimbo Thomason in a 7-6 loss. The Baby Bishops were again disappointed 21-0 by Miller School. But the next game with Linkhorne was a victory 7-6. MacCleary took a : pitchout from QB Jim Thomason and ran for t he touchdown.

CROSS COUNTRY ue to the team’s new coach, Mr. Lowry Stephenson a new kind of spirit was aroused in the Bishop Harriers this year, and new records were set. Linwood Belles broke the course record set in 1965 by James Hotelling, taking the time down from 11:16 to 10:59. Over-all times were much lower than in any previous years. The Harriers placed fifth in the State Meet, with Linwood Bolles placing fifth over-all in competition with about 200 eager runners.

Joining these were JV erads, Al Williams and Bruce Cunningham, Willie Von Hacht, Sandy McKenna, Cliff Leath, Jeff Lalanne and Dan Johnson. The season began unfavorably as the Bishops lost their opening three games. The Alumni, hosting a young and very experienced team, re- venged last year’s defeat by downing the Bis- hops 76-57. The Bishops opened their regular season against a strong, rebuilt Collegiate team. With a poor shooting percentage, the Bishops were out-scored 76-63. The next defeat came from the Lynchburg College JV’s by the score, 88-84, The defeat spoiled the performance of co-captains Randy Longworth and George Yachan who scor- ed 31 and 24 points respectively. — Co-Captain Randy Longworth Squeezes-In a Lay-Up In center: Randy Longworth, George Yachan (co-captains).

Closing out the pre-Christmas schedule, the Bishops were host to arch-rival Woodberry For- est. Looking for their first win, the Bishops played perfect ball and down the Tigers, 57-50. Randy Longworth lead the ardent attack by scor- ing 28 points. Returning from Christmas, the Bishops found their poise and rolled up seven consecutive wins in the New Year. The first four victories were over Father Judge, 68-40, Albermarle, 75-30, North Cross, 68-66, and Fishburne, 58-51. The subs saw considerable action in these games, but Long- worth and Yachan continued pacing the Bishops with averages of 25 and 18 points, respectively. With a five-game winning streak, the Bishops traveled to Woodberry Forest for a rematch with the Tigers. The Bishops held the lead throughout the contest, which was the usual hard-fought VES- Woodberry game.

In the first game the team from Albermarle eked out a 9-point victory. The Bishops trampled Boonesboro in their second game, 48-13, but the freshmen were overcome twice by the larger and more experience R. E. Lee squad.

The team was not able to find it- self during the earlier part of the season, but it came to life later, winning four of its last five games.

St. Christopher’s came, needing a win to clinch a a berth in the State Soccer Tournament, but our players were in no generous mood. Having been eliminated from the tournament, the Bishop’s were out for blood, and the deft-footed Bishops easily won the mismatch, 4-1. Peter Grover and Bill Mesick scored in the second period, and Grover scored again in the second-half. Joe Vogler closed out the scoring in the fourth quarter, but not before St. Christopher’s had scored one. Many players proved their playing skill, but a few shone above the rest. B. K.

For the remainder of the period, there were no other scores by either side, but Fork Union came back in the second to tie it up; however, Holmes Morton made one more goal before the half ended, putting the Bishops ahead, 2-1.

Charlie has been a man of many athletic talents. Pitcher for the JV baseball team for the past two years, he has also served as varsity basketball manager. He was also an exceptional member of the golf team, re- ceiving two varsity letters for his participation in this sport. His other athletic abilities include a good game of tennis and a mean game of pool. As business manager for the Meteor, he has been a busy man around town. “I’m going to sit here ’til a bell tower comes. “T’ll do my best for Him . Me and my drum . . . a-Tum-a-tum-tum . . | a-rum-a-tum-tum , JOHN NEWTON CHITTENDEN Greenville, South Carolina ) A freshman prodigy, John Chipman abandoned his | | jnstitution. During his first year, he was an active | member of the freshman football team and later in- ) dulged in a more gratifying art: as he put it, “smoking.” | The Chit achieved a few gray hairs in his next and | most tension-filled year, due to a little ‘““Waters on the | brain.” In athletics he was promoted to Max Meador j and his famous JV’s, where his football ability became | known to the school. In the spring of ’65, he was elect- | ed captain of the Sun Fun Recreation Club. ) J.N.C.’s most prosperous year was his junior year. He was a high-spirited person at work and at play. | Athletically, he was a scrappy defensive tackle on the | varsity football team, and he ranked also as a distin- guished figure among his classmates. He has ranked consistently in the upper-quarter of his class. | In John’s senior year, he became an erstwhile lover, intellectual status in Greenville and came to a finer but later he enjoyed the pleasures of other debutantes | in L’burg. He also received His second varsity letter in football. In the same year he was named to the student ‘| council. | As those at VES know, wherever he goes from here, |he is certain to become a titanic success. “Then she told me I was good looking... 81 . . and you better believe it.” JOHN THOMAS COUNCIL Durham, North Carolina In the pursuit of anything except an education, John Council came to VES four long years ago. After a year of fun and relaxation with his two studious room- mates, Cannon and Davis, J.C. settled down to become a far more dedicated and hard working student, using Tommy Ross as his model. J.C.’s “cool approach” has been accepted by all who know him, and his wit and bubbling personality have long been enjoyed. His many tales and interesting games have kept much of the boredom away. But John is cer- tainly one of the few who has generously given of his time for the benefit of others. He will not soon be forgotten for it. His activities have been many and varied — to say the least. Looking toward the future, J.C. plans to join the crowded stream of young gentlemen at the only uni- versity. With his many and unusual talents, John will find great success in the future. He will always possess that air of enlightenment that makes him what he is. $94 ppeiit it fit: hihi: dpbisiis 4 ASSESS Heartache? . . 82 Headache? . Take off. ...

He soon discovered that weekends in the Burg could sometimes be fun. Since then Bruce has slicked on the possum fat every Friday night in high hopes of yodeling in some canyon—especially the one on Trents Ferry Road. Sports-wise, Bruce has distinguished himself in foot- ball and basketball. In his first year he was the star quarterback for the JV football team; he lettered in varsity football for the past two years. In basketball he co-captained the victorious JV team of Reed Finlay. In his last year he displayed his athletic prowess in varsity basketball. More than a lover and an athlete, Bruce has also been a scholar. Hick is noted for his hard work and many lucubrations. Currently he is considering a Rhodes Scholarship. . . His amiable and lively personality will be missed, wherever he goes. Rat Patrol GEORGE HARRISON DAVIS Durham, North Carolina George entered VES a freshman. Through the last four years he has become something of an intellectual salesman; his blunt and matter-of-fact attitude has won the admiration and trust of his fellow students. Excelling in language, English, drama, art and social research, George has established a strong and admirable reputation. In English and in French he took advanced placement courses. In drama, he appeared in the play Oedipus Rex. And in his final year he took an honors course in Latin American History. In addition to his academic achievements, George has played two seasons of JV football. With his broad sense of humor and optimistic out- look, he has succeeded in winning the friendship and admiration of all. With the high hopes and full con- fidence of faculty and students, George will go to U.N.C. “Some people don’t mind if I have my picture taken behind their desk.” “You BOLSHEVIC! ” Ali Ben Disson in Native Dress. “Hey, Ben, guess who you’re rooming with!” BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DIXON, IV Tangier, Morocco To fulfill his citizenship requirements, Ben came to the U.S. three years ago, after living nine years abroad in such diverse places as Thailand, Pakistan, and Morocco. Returning to the U.S., Ben decided he would get to know the Natives, and after a little thought, chose Lynchburg. Ben has been a frequent visitor to the wreck room, where he found comradeship with fellow smokers. For sports, Ben played goalie for the JV soccer team. Returning for his senior year, the Sheik was active in such extracurricular activities as the Senior Gripe Committee, touch football, and cheerleading at the Alumni-Varsity game. He has also ranked in the top fourth of the class for the year. Bebeainc™ 86 JOHN MARTIN EDWARDS Irvine, Florida “You could never tell John Edwards hails from | Florida,” yet he claims to be first cousin to that Florida- gator. In the three years John has been here, he has man- | aged to make a place for himself in almost all student activities—extracurricular and otherwise. He has been one of the starting half-backs on the varsity team for — the past three years, distinguishing himself as an ex- cellent breakaway runner and speedster. The red-headed | wonder also played center field for the varsity base- | ball team and was co-captain for both those teams. He served as head counselor and was a member of the | Honor Committee. He was also a member of Student Vestry and was head of the Hop Committee. WILLIAM WINFREE FARLEY, JR. Raleigh, North Carolina | Bill saw the light three years ago and broke away from North Carolina to come north where he could get | a good education. Since that time he has proven his | worth. “Fearless” has demonstrated his ability in many fields. In his first year he played JV football and soccer. In his junior and senior years he gained entrance into the Monogram Club by playing varsity soccer. As a senior Bill has proven himself to be a stalwart on the gridiron, playing varsity football. To add to the list, he had the honor of being a member of “Reed’s Re- Prep’n It _—‘ jects” in the spring of his junior year. Off the athletic fields, Bill has been involved in other facets of school life. As layout-editor of the Meteor he : fulfilled a major responsibility. 7 Helpful and friendly to all, Bill will not soon be forgotten by those with whom he came into contact. He takes with him the best wishes of all. One Definition of Bill Farley 87 “But I am too a senior.” It’s really very simple, Chuck. CHARLES CALVIN FLYNN Bluefield, West Virginia Three years ago, Charlie came as an aspiring sopho- more. Since then it has been uphill all the way. He | has shown everyone that he can excel in almost any | activity. Extracurricular-wise, Chuck has played freshman foot- ball; he has run track in the spring. Later he advanced to JV football and to varsity track. In his senior year he was again on the JV gridiron and was one of the four captains. A well-rounded young man, Charlie has done well academically, ranking consistently in the top half of his class. . . Best wishes go with him. Oh, my! How perverse! . PETER PERKINS HAIRSTON Cascade, Virginia Peter has proven that not everyone who goes off to _prep school changes. In three years here, he has re- | mained completely unaffected by anything that has | gone on. | In the spring of his junior year, his eyes were momen- | tarily opened to his real athletic talent. He took up track ‘|and became number-one in the mile run in junior | varsity competition. A year later, with a slowdown in ‘| smoking, he became varsity material. His senior year _|marked a zenith in his running. In cross country he _| earned his first varsity letter. ] Academically, Pete always ranked near the top of his class. In a few classes one has frequently found _|him steps ahead of his teachers. His probing questions have often left a master dumbfounded. _| When he graduates, Peter will carry with him the | _ distinction of being one of the youngest and one of the brightest to have ever graduated VES. “Oh no! Two more nabbed on morals charges.” | eo Ge eotis Ee ee CLIFFORD TAPSCOTT LEATH Burlington, North Carolina In his own way, Cliff has set himself apart from the other members of the senior class; yet, he has been an active participant in senior activities. During the past three years he has created an image of friendliness; this image has given him a good reputation with both students, and masters. Cliff played a year of freshman basketball and this season will end his second year with the varsity bas- ketball squad. He is also one of the regulars on the Senior Lounge Football League. Academically, Cliff is well inclined. Upon graduation he plans to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “T fell out of my tree.” 90 “Tt was terrible, doctor! They shot me with sugar—through and through... ” “No, I don’t always fly.” PARKER HALL LEE, III Lynchburg, Virginia Five years ago, Parker made the big decision. Realizing that this meant no girls, it was a very significant sacrifice on his part. After making minor adjustments, however, he found that there was room 'for both the school and the girl(s). As a member of the day-boy clique, he could be found on weekends working on his ’38 Plymouth or taking flying instructions at the airport. Last spring he qualified for and obtained his student pilot license. He made his first solo flight on Easter Day. In the academic realm, Parker was worked hard and has distinguished himself by ranking high in his class. Last year he received the R.I. II Ethics Class award for excellence in that course. Though not participating in sports directly, Parker | has been the backbone of the GAA. Starting after supper | and working late into the night, he has been responsible | fo a large degree for the successful daily routine of | athletics . . . Next year: a daily routine in pre-law. Parker’s real neat. MARKHAM VAN FOSSEN LEWIS, JR. Lynchburg, Virginia Van has been an outstanding day boy. In the upper half of his class all four years, Van has made a name for himself as a good student. In his senior year, Van overcame the difficulties of being a “townie” by staying on at school in the evenings to study.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina | Ed was welcomed aboard “the ship” four years ago. Although the rough seas shook at first, he soon began ‘to move into the mainstream. After participating in freshman football, he later found the gym more nearly his natural habitat. The freshman basketball squad of which he was a captain had no grand reputation for victories; however, its losses were consistent. Ed’s first spring was spent playing recreational golf at the club. It was a season notable for its delicious hamburgers and chicken salad sandwiches. After advancing to Reed Finlay’s JV basketball team, Ed continued to hit the hoop in his sophomore year. As a junior, Ed finally defeated the Roman Legions, ably led by Mr. Meador, for the last time. Although Otto improved on the courts, “Reed’s Rejects” definitely jdid not; still, the social world of the Lovelies broadened the extracurricular activity of his junior year. In his senior year, no one knew that Ed was destined to become one of the all-time “greats” of touch football. jLeading teams to endless victories, he received much prestige in the lounge by the use of his accurate arms land shifty hips. | Because of a severe lack of Ed’s warmth and charm, weather forecasters are predicting a cold winter in Much ado...

JOE BURTON LINKER, III Lynchburg, Virginia Ever since Joe entered VES five years ago as a member of the original day boy ‘“‘jet set,” he has main- tained a position of leadership. With his diligence and natural ability, he has kept up his number one academic standing with a consistency that has made him the pride and envy of all. But Joe’s outstanding achievements have transcended the classroom. He has lettered in track, and in cross country this year he proved to be one of the mainstays of the team. For his prominence in this sport, he was elected co-captain. For the past two years, Joe has served conscientiously as a counselor. His geniality and sincere concern for others have made him a truly outstanding personality. 94 hey ty So S44444 44 Ba aht tty | nd heh as tL a 45 at) yb hAbhAD) SLAG patie Sy4ahh $54 s445h pe hyn ss 3h) ay SAEWUASS ae My a : Yes, Joe, it’s glass—G-L-A-S.S, Jerk’n It. “James Brown just put me down.” 95 MELVIN ROSS McCASKILL, JR. Little Rock, Arkansas Better known as Smiley, Melvin Ross McCaskill, in his two years stay, has played major roles in student life. In addition to his great personality and academic abilities, Ross has shown tremendous talent in athetics. Ross hit stardom on many occasions on the gridiron in his first year. Starting as a flankerback and defen- sive halfback, he played a vital part in helping the Bishops finish with a 5-3 record. In addition, Ross was of enormous value to the golf team. In his senior year, Ross served as counselor; he has been highly respected by the younger boys. He has served the school as exchange editor on the Meteor staff, and he was sports editor for the Vestige. Ross was also a part of the student vestry and was a senior representative on the Hop Committee. Having had much success at VES, Ross is sure to find a wonderful life when he returns to.

He is one of the distinguished day-boys who has adjusted to the life of a squatter on Sandy’s abundant wit and friendly personality have added much to the life of the school. After playing two years of freshman and one year of JV, he became, in his junior year, one of the “Colonel’s boys” on the varsity basketball squad.

Washington, D.C., Cape Town, South Africa — the molding grounds for Charles Manning — helped to produce a young man of unique and industrious char- acter. In every season Rick has left his mark; excel- ling in football during the winter, he saw the last of Max’s squad and the great beginning of the Varsity ishops; with the changeability of autumn, he fenced with color and agility; and in the spring his accom- plishments in track blossomed. During his leisure time, Rick contributed to the Art- a Society by acting in two plays, The Stones Cry Qut and Oedipus Rex.

Just as easily, he has invested it all. Lettering in his sophomore year, Dan upheld the number two position on the varsity tennis team. He also displayed valiant effort in cross country.

WILLIAM KENNEDY MAULDIN, I Easley, South Carolina “Greasy” came to VES four years ago from a thriv- ing metropolis. In these four years he has acquired many friends among students and faculty. He has also made many friends among the fairer sex around | town. _ Ken played freshman and JV football and soccer; _ for soccer he received a varsity letter and became a member of the Monogram Club. He was also a member of the Art-Drama Society, a member of the Vestige _ staff, and he cheered for the mighty Bishops throughout the football season.

Tom also found a satisfying life with Tillie, something that had not existed back home. Tom began his athletic career on Max’s football and in golf in his junior and senior years. He has spent | baseball JV teams and went on to earn a varsity letter | many long hours as the school photographer, working for the Meteor and the Vestige and for the Drama Society. A similar hard-driving attitude toward his studies has been apparent. 100 New Tuck, Tom? ar aE lly 9 “I wear supporter stockings, too, wise guy.’ “... and I don’t want to hear no more about the care and protection of school property!” 101 BERNARD KYLE MUNDY Lynchburg, Virginia A scholar and an athlete — B. K. Mundy has been the epitome of both. Leaving Lynchburg public schools in the eighth grade, he immediately saw the advantage, of being a boarder and for four years has remained one. In these years, he has accomplished more than any other senior. He was elected co-captain of his freshman and JV football teams; after three years on the varsity gridiron, he was elected co-captain. A stellar tackle on the team, he has been a member of the V-club since his sophomore year. He was also a point winner for Mr. Finlay’s track team for two years. Unable to find anyone who would wrestle him in his junior year, he went out for fullback on the soccer team. B. K. can take pride in his scholastic feats. Since his first years he has been a member of the top quarter of his class. In his junior year he was one of four junior counselors and a member of the Vestry. In ’66 he was elected president of the senior class, and he has fulfilled his responsibilities as a chosen and ‘natural’ leader, serving as a member of the counselor body and being selected for membership on the Honor Committee. He has also been Senior Warden for the student vestry and sargeant-at-arms for the V-Club. Not too much can be said in praise of B. K. He has been a friend to all. In anything, he will be successful. SAMUEL ANDREW MUTCH Fairmont, West Virginia Two years ago Sam-the-Man approached VES with “a light heart and a burning desire to learn.” Once here, he quickly mastered the difficulties of his subjects and was able to rack-up good grades. During his sojourn, Sam has been distinguished for a number of reasons. He has ranked in the top quarter of his class. In his junior year he had the honor of being selected to participate in the R.I. Seminar. In his senior year he took A. P. English. In the sports arena, Sam has distinguished himself. During his junior year he played JV football, and for his great effort he was awarded a letter. In the spring of his junior year the lower field resounded with the noise of his high jumping and quarter-mile running. He was a manager for varsity football in his last year, and for additional glory, he returned to track in the spring. Sambo’s personality has shone in other extra- curricular ways. During his senior year his well-tuned voice was given to the choir; at other times it was loaned to the GAA. He also participated in the LTSH program, and he was a feature writer for the Meteor staff. Still Life Senior Privileged | Before CLARK NESBIT Madison Heights, Virginia Because of his amiable personality and reliability, Clark has often furnished the refreshing breeze on an otherwise gloomy day. His optomistic outlook and cheer- ful attitude have done much to brighten the general atmosphere. For the past five years, he has been an asset to the school. His reliable, green truck has be- come, like its driver, a symbol of responsibility and sturdiness. Academically, Clark has remained in the upper ten percent of his class; he has consistently maintained an above-ninety average. For the past few years, he has collected the awards for excellence in French donated by the L’ Alliance de France, and in his senior year he received a letter of commendation for his performance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Clark has been active in sports: track, JV baseball, and cross country. Last year he was awarded a varsity letter for his contributions to the soccer team. 103 “Don’t look at me.. ots PRP, Peg eet aghag Mae ne oe is ati ty any : ‘ as Y ce id . It was Mitchell’s idea ” ANDREW CLARK NORTHCOTT Huntington, West Virginia In his beginning year as a sophomore, Clark adapted quickly to life on campus. Beginning with JV football, he helped the team as a hard-hitting linesman. Not satisfied with only one letter, Clark went on to play JV baseball and to win a position as an outfielder. In his junior year, he was once again on the JV football gridiron, and in the spring he moved up to Rock Lee’s varsity baseball team. Rounding off his sport’s program, Clark came back to terrorize the JV’s football opponents. Having had a good and productive stay at VES, Clark plans to carry-on at another school in the state. Best wishes go with him. What has curly hair and flies? “Got a light, Lloyd?” : | EAMES ASHBURY POWERS, JR. | Lynchburg, Virginia | Eames came to VES four years ago after deciding that his true intellectual ability wasn’t being tested enough at a county school. Adjusting well to the tough life of a day-boy, he has made many friends during his stay. At his best in a crowd, Eames has often been the life of many parties. Who will ever forget waiting for Eames to “get the power?” On the athletic side, Sonny has been the powerhouse of the JV baseball team. He has also played four years of football — one of JV and three of varsity — and he has earned three major letters for his efforts. Un- fortunately, Eames missed the greater part of the varsity season in his senior year because of a leg injury he suffered in an early scrimmage. Wherever Eames goes from here, he can look forward to a successful future. 4 | | What else? Buh, Eames. 105 Ain’t Too Proud to Beg “Dear Bishop Marmion. . .” TIMOTHY SHAWN REILY New Orleans, Louisiana Tim, a member of the Daily Quorum Club, descended upon VES with a crash. He is leaving with an even bigger one. His true Southern manner and friendly personality have repeatedly warmed all hearts. Tim has been famous for voicing his opinion any time in anyplace to anyone. This outstanding characteristic has gained him much recognition from the student body. Sean has not fallen short on the academic level: he has been a determined and capable student, and he has placed in the top percentage of his class through- out his years at VES. Mr. Reily has shown unusual school spirit in the athletic life. He has participated in the school’s golf program and has managed track. He has also played JV football for two years. Last year he was elected captain. Tim hopes to join “Deacon John” somewhere in Louisiana. 106 JOHN JENNINGS RIFE Huntington, West Virginia Although John was a real live mathematical prodigy— the only junior ever to take calculus—he has proven himself just as much a wonder in other ways. Thinking his corny humor to be the most hilarious form of enter- tainment, he has had an uncanny ability to make everyone around him groan over his jokes. Not only has he been a humorist, he has also demonstrated his prowess for choreography by performing exotic dances around the rec room. His four years have been a success in the academic and entertainment fields. John has excelled in athletics, gaining varsity letters in cross country and soccer. He has also held the posi- tion of counselor, and he was elected vice-president of his junior and senior classes. John’s presence has been thoroughly appreciated by everyone, and his particular brand of humor and intelligence will be missed. “West Virginia—why?” And to think I was pure before I came to VES... “08.6, Mr. Jobe?” KENNETH SLATER ROACH Arrington, Virginia Ken became a squatter in 1964. As co-captain of the freshman football team, he displayed qualities of a fine running back. During the winter he was an outstanding member of Reed’s rejected JV basketball team. While on the hardwood, Kenneth introduced the frog-style set shot. With the arrival of spring, he moved to the tennis courts for varsity action. As the ’65 session opened, Ken was frequently found in the little gym, leading his well-known combo, “Otis Roach and the Soul Aces.” All too soon, the gridiron called, and Otis took up duties as the JV football team’s co-captain. Early in that year Ken received the honor of being invited to join Hudnall’s Hop Committee, the same hop committee that gained fame by sponsoring “The Tams” at finals. Football and Ken’s second season of basketball having come to an end, he participated in another year of varsity tennis. His tennis efforts earned him a varsity letter and entrance into the Monogram Club. As a senior, Kookie was elected to the position of counselor and vestryman, and for another year he was co-captain of the JV football team . . . As the sheltered pre p school life ends, Ken looks ahead to getting into the collegiate world. Will the real senior please step forward. 108 DILLON WARD ROSE Rocky Mount, North Carolina The last of the Sheep arrived three years ago. His quiet and easy-going manner quickly won him the admiration of all. Athletically, Dillon has been a standout; he received ja varsity letter in basketball, and for the last three | seasons he has been number-one sprinter on the track _ Dillon has ably proven himself in a variety of other ‘| e ° e e fields.

His extraordinary ability to create those spur-of-the-moment friendships that never die, will, more than likely, open the door of success to him throughout the remainder of his life. When Tom descended upon the Ole’ 160 four years ago, he soon learned that flattery would get him every- where (except into college); being the level-headed boy that he is, he divided his affections and flatteries be- tween his contemporaries on campus and the ‘Lyuchburg Lovelies.’ None of them will soon forget Tom’s over- powering personality. Although Tommy Lee forms many and varied friendships with ease, he is very discreet about whom he chooses; consequently, Tommy’s friend- ships have become the talk of all. Tom Where’s your double-breasted sports coat, Jocko? 111 “What ’ya looking at, kid?” JACKSON EVERT SHIRLEY, JR. Alexandria, Virginia A new rage arrived three years ago when Jocko quickly took over the community and a sizeable number of the Lynchburg Lovelies. He dated only the best. But Jock’s favorite pastime is polo. He has been an ardant participant in the sport and has kept up on its statistics while at school. In his first year, Jock’s tastes, sportswise, went to football and baseball. He has played JV football for three years, and in his sophomore year — JV baseball. During the spring of his senior year, he played for the varsity baseball squad. In his spare time, Jock has painted pretty pictures; he has also served as an acolyte for the chapel. On the weekends, when not dating, he has been found most often in the senior lounge, lounging in front of the tube. After completing his senior year, Jock plans to study veterinary ‘medicine. WILLIAM LEVI SHOFFNER, JR. Burlington, North Carolina Bill is an “old boy” in every respect. He has about | him an air of maturity and wisdom that younger stu- dents respect and admire in a senior. In his five years, Bill has proven himself outstanding as an easy-going, quiet, and dilligent student. He has been a member of the Monogram Club, helped on the Meteor staff, and has served as a lay reader. “Shoffs” was also an inspired cheerleader, and as a library counselor and a devoted mail-boy, he has been an asset to school life in general. Lettering his sophomore year, Bill has participated on both the track and cross country teams. His college plans include a major in psychology. 2 What kind of man reads Motor Trend? 112 “Oh Boy!

He has managed JV basketball, played JV tennis, and has sung in the ‘Pop’ Choir. Scholastically, Montie has managed to pull through an English history course: a noteworthy accomplishment. As a senior, Sedley was known for being the out- going and personable type. He was often heard voicing his opinion whenever it seemed called for, and some- times when it did not. Of his assorted extracurricular activities, he was most praised for the nightly opening of “Sedley’s Delicatessen,” where, with astounding regu- larity its manager could be found handing out fine eats at reasonable prices to those who, for various reasons, had been unable to get their fill at Tyree’s Country Kitchen. Sedley was an active member of Mr. Brennan’s After- noon Trigonometry Class where he regularly received invaluable help in higher mathematics . . .

Known for his attitude of conviction and for his willingness to express his beliefs and or opinions, he has gained a reputation as being one of the most valuable boys in school. On the academic side, the Lizard has by no means fallen short. As one of the leaders in class, he has proven his ability to always do more than what was expected of him. Athletically, he has played freshman football and golf. But his most auspicious feat was enduring two seasons on the cinders as one of “‘Reed’s Rejects.” Dur- ing the spring, he was one of the top two men in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Next fall Larry will attend The University. He will add much to life wherever he goes. RICHARD DONALD WAGNER Lynchburg, Virgina Four years ago Dick decided to forego the way of most Lynchburg high school students. Glass’s loss has been our gain. Dick has attained distinction. Through his conscientious efforts, he has maintained a high average, ranking consistently in the top third of his class. Aside from academic achievements, Dick has man- aged football, basketball, and baseball. For the latter two sports he received varsity letters. In his senior year he was in charge of the G.A.A.; his ability to organize has been recognized by all. Dick is headed toward a career in engineering. Wher- ever his ‘Mustang’ takes him, the vacancy he leaves will be a difficult one to fill.

Since then he has acquired many friends and has contributed greatly to school life. Steve has played freshman basketball, JV football and varsity football; he has also run varsity track, for which he received a letter in his junior year; he was awarded membership into the Monogram Club. While participating in athletics, he has been able to maintain a consistently high academic standing all four years. For the past two years, Steve has been a member of the Student Vestry. He was elected Junior Warden in his senior year. His senior year was marked also by his election to the counselor body; he served as editor-in- chief of the Meteor and as copy editor for the yearbook staff. During the winter, he served as a cheerleader for the basketball team. Wherever he goes, he will always be remembered by the students and faculty of VES. “You ain’t checking me out!” 116 Loss of Innocence What’s it about you, Dickey? RICHARD GEORGE WERN Lynchburg, Virginia Two years ago, when Richard Wern roared into VES in his Sunbeam, he brought with him a quick wit. ready smile, and an amazing ability to make friends. Rarely known to be on time, he has nonetheless become a center of VES life and he found a way to bridge a a SE re the gap that sometimes seperates a day student from a boarder. He became a boarder. During his stay he became one of our most out- standing atheletes, playing football for the fighting Bishops for two years. His familar 22 has been seen racing for many touchdowns, resulting in his being awarded the Deyerle Award for the most outstanding football player in his junior year. When he roars off in his Sunbeam for the final time, Richard plans to attend college, (hopefully the U. of Colorado). Wr ibkh bbl ee I’m taking a home correspondence course.’ What an act! DANIEL SMITH WHERRY Greenville, South Carolina When Dan left South Carolina to enter VES in his sophomore year, he immediately found the spirit of the school and began to make a name for himself. By his willingness to work and through his participation in so many facets of school life, he has distinguished him- self. During his three years, he has been one of the acolytes for the student body. Through his conscientious endeavor in varsity foot- ball he earned membership in the V-Club. He also played a season in tennis, track and soccer. Dan will be rembered for his air of understanding and sincerity. His warm manner has won him many friends; his absence from the school will be a great loss. ky ‘ d : eo Ae af ” ge he “Heh ... heh...

Originally from Chatham, Virginia, he has since moved to Sweet Briar where he has spent much time. Always energetic, and marked as one who hates to quit, Hugh has competed on all three football teams and on both baseball teams. He became a member of the Monogram Club in his junior year when he lettered in baseball. Hugh has not allowed his zeal to succeed athletically interfere with his academic life; he has maintained an average that places him in the top-half of his class. Rounding out his activities, Hugh has been an acolyte and, as a monitor he has tried his hand at keeping order in the lan guage lab. Hugh hopes to study engineering in the future . . . He takes with him the respect of all. 119 “You do that one more time, MASON LONG WILLIAMS Raleigh, North Carolina Leaving the serenity of his quiet country home, Mason entered the Class of 67 in the fall of ’65. Subtle in demeanor, easy-going in nature, he has made many friends. During his four semesters he has maintained a respectable average; he has the distinction of being one of a limited number of students to have attended all required R.I. II lectures and seminars. Aside from his academic proficiencies, Willie has participated in athletics, ranging from JV_ basketball as a junior to cross-country in his senior year. He has shown a willingness to do the best in whatever he has undertaken. In so doing, he has become one of the best of the class. “IT refuse to do another history outline!” 120 Leaving, Lover? JOHN CHARLES WOODALL Benson, North Carolina Probably better known around campus as a member of the Carolinas’ hottest, upcoming band, The Soul Searchers, John Charles Woodall has managed to dis- tinguish himself in other ways during his two years at the school. During his junior year he earned the starting quarterback position on the varsity football team, and he led them to their finest season since 1957. With John Charles at the helm again in ’66, the Bishops once again improved their season record. A first-team member of the “lounge crowd” during the off-season, John was a star among the senior crew. In the spring he took to the baseball diamond where he was starting pitcher and earned another varsity letter. He was elected president of the Monogram Club in his senior year and, as a leader of that group, he succeeded in installing more school spirit. After grad- uation, John will return to G.C. and go to N.C. “T flunked French!” GEORGE EMILIO YACHAN, II Covington, Virginia Whether it be bounding across the basketball court, chanting holy hymns in chapel, or exploding with en- thusiasm in chemistry, the hulking Arab has remained a standout. As a junior and as a senior he loomed in VES circles—a dizzy pacesetter. He personifies in all categories the true spirit of Old 160. Yet, even as the coveted Covington Goliath has as- sisted in making Old 160 what it is today, so has Old 160 helped to mould and shape Giant George. Entering its basketball court a fledgling, the green giant soon mellowed into ripe form as a leading scorer and re- bounder. He returned for blood as the team’s most outstanding senior. In the same vein, after slipping through his junior year in the top fifth of his class, he later took the studies to heart and was a strong contender for number-one. Yes, George has indulged in the spiritual, the aca- demic, the athletic — and in each he has distinguished himself with a spirit that has set VES apart from other schools. Mr. Yachan has come and gone. The VES left behind will never be the same. Loosen up, Yachan. 122 “ . . and then this big Greasy Arab grabbed me.. . ” nd so William Pendleton-Randolph Bishop, III, moves on: the cul- mination of one half-century, the beginning of another. If, among all this year’s graduates of the Class of ’67, no full and solid page has honored him, it’s because Billy is too wistful a figure to be captured with merely a camera. But Billy Bishop will be remembered. Think now . . . The boy who sat at the table sometime back in the spring, the one who didn’t have much to say for over a week, who suddenly snapped out of it and began passing things again . . . The boy who waited for the bus from St. Something’s for over half an hour before it rolled in, who, when he found out which girl he had, pretended he hadn’t heard his name called out; later, when he shuffled forward to greet her, he figured he had done her a favor, mimicked her on dorm for five days, and never waited for another bus . . . The boy who sat in the middle row for history, who slumped on the front pew for _ chapel, who always came in three minutes late for English . . . The boy who was standing rigid on the back row, looking down, when the camera- man came... The boy everyone wondered about and knew one thing about — that there was something there . . . The boy who came in on ne xt-to- the-last ballots. Billy Bishop has been here. In a way, Billy Bishop was born here. He will go on to the college of his choice, or to the next one down from that, or maybe the one he never really thought much about; and he will go out from VES in his graduation Mustang or in a Triumph, or in the back seat of the family’s car, or with some buddies in a bomb headed for the beach. But next year he’ll be back and tanned, and his father may not have played football in 1922. Or the year after next — for homecoming — perhaps he’ll show up then, a little heavier, or a little taller, and he might not be recognized at first. Perhaps he’ll be the boy from the class that was two classes behind the class in which Soandso graduated, or maybe that was someone else. Perhaps Billy Bishop was the boy that Whozit used to talk about, the boy who used to— In which case, he’ll come back some- what portly, a little wiser, and he’ll probably bring his wife and small son... Billy Bishop moves on. Sometimes first in his class, sometimes thirtieth. Billy Bishop could not be captured. He could not be given a full and solid page. In truth, he was in all of them.
