HE old bell was housed this year. Permanently enshrined. It will not again be passed from place, taken from earthy and materialistic moorings here, shuntled to ascetic and lonely towers there. It is home now — elevated somewhat, but not too high — exactly where it belongs. The bell has measured-out the days for almost one hundred years. Cast in Baltimore in 1879, it had unpretentious beginnings in Lynchburg, sounding over laborers in a tobacco warehouse. Years later it functioned at irregular hours to summons the city’s volunteer firemen and finally, and more often, it rang for the members of Epiphany Episcopal Church. But early in the twenties it was brought to VES to become a part of the heart and memory of everyone who ever heard it toll. For hundreds of men — young and older — the old | bell resounds. For those of the twenties who danced the rhythms as definite as those of a poet’s — it sounds. Tolling throughout the Depression, over the “Lost Generation,” through all the “Jazz Age,” high in its barren and unpainted framework the bell’s gray shadow lay across struggling times . It was a time when people still believed in the world. In those years Henry W. Mattfield was permanently master-in-charge. He requested the responsibility, insisted upon it, keeping night- and day watch over hundreds of boys for more than twenty years . . . Came the forties and World War II, the war that would eradicate forever all evil from the face of the earth. The war ended. Enrollment grew. Young boys from those days were the last to grow up without television. Returning veterans were housed in the old gymnasium. Dormitory cubicles were replaced by rooms with doors. The William King Field house was built; the century passed the half-way mark; and the Golden Age of John Gannaway emerged. His kindly presence in his rocking chair at the check-out station was enough to persuade any boy who had not prepared his math homework to seek his help before asking for an evening on the town. In that age, “Wild Bill” Wyatt was running a history course that had every other master postponing any homework assignment on the evening before the Big Test. The dorms were especially quiet. Jon Armett and “Monk” DeVere were not. Running barefoot and wild through the woods, they brought back rattlesnakes for the skinning and squirrels, caught bare- handed, just for the fun of it. And regularly at three p-m. each Monday, Mr. G. B. Lamar came by bus to sit on the athletic field and visit with the boys. . . The sixties now — and the end of another decade. This book is the story of another generation growing-up beneath the old bell. | 2 | Arete ete ima decapimetng alas Ne abet be dieedieka na ee Gee Seniors... 112 _ Emphasis Il. . . 130 Appendix . . . 145 4 ; ' ile rene) Hie 2 ; , - eh ‘we! j ? eh : ? s7) AT} A TCAST Ses he Abad SS ied � se ue oa ra | ‘Pa 4 : 4 Per ‘ 5 y ; H ’ . 4 ri , 7) EA em RNH RRO MRMERE ROR Re Oe ower to £ A ee - 7 -“ ¥ a ee = - Ww � ot a. ae ‘ er ATS i 7 “ = 7 ” 7 . ‘ j = ial ' wit ” : er “ f 4 ‘. i 4 , oie ‘ ¢ 4 ye t . 1 it . me, ? nig eke ve. fi gingers ‘ , - P 2 @ 9 ‘ ae a ge et a ai ” ern Bese, oe . “ ” - i ee a a 7 ce +. . me “ Wx r a - zd y ‘ - y by + : t - . } oa me tne Reflected in the mirrors are Lewis Foster, Charlie Green, and _ application of toothpaste and soap: the bathroom, third floor of Doug Hebard as they prepare for breakfast with a quick Jett Hall.

Ready or not, each boy was urged into a new day: the old bell, relentless. Scraping, yawning, pushing aside bed coverings — what would this one bring? Falling weather or fine? Aly Dismal or temperate? In grogginess they moved. Closet, hallway, bathroom. Cool water to dry throats. It ran into the eyes and over the faces; then quick or languid towelling.

Every cloud has its silver lining, however, and when the bells rang on Friday evening and Saturday, some of them at least marked the time when a man was on his own with the question: what to do with the free time?

The greatest challenge was that of self-discipline, settling down to what seemed to be mountains of work, responsibility, and extracurricular activity. Seeking recognition and acceptance from the upperclassmen, an impressive number of the class became actively involved in scholarship. Notable participation was evident in football and basketball, and, traditionally, each freshman performed flag duty in some portion of the year. Mr. Norman Blake and Mr. Gates DeHart, advisors to the Class of °72, commented upon the enthusiasm and spirit of the group. Blake observed, “The Freshmen are of a splendid social conscience. They are quite concerned about the school and anxious to contribute toward improving it in every way.” James Howard Ashburn Graham Carroll Baker Winston-Salem, North Carolina Frederick, Maryland John Isaac Barron, Jr. Richard Ryerson Bernard, Jr. Morganton, North Carolina Davidson, North Carolina Robert Brice Bovenizer Paul Spencer Cash, Jr. Bluefield, West Virginia Morganton, North Carolina William Shannon Davis Rocco Frank DiSanto Staunton, Virginia Morganton, North Carolina David Clark, Jr. Richard Allen Conrad Lincolnton, North Carolina Winston-Salem, North Carolina Casey Watson Dorenbusch C.

Several things strengthened the department. Mr. John Scholl, ’60, joined the faculty to teach junior and senior English courses. At the same time, all junior English courses focused on paralleling the course in American History by emphasizing American literature. In addition, Mr. James Hopkins re-established the Advanced Placement English course. The Advanced Placement English course was an emphasis on accelerated study of literature. Its aim was to enable the advanced English student to forego the usual freshman rhetoric courses required at many colleges. Mr. Bertrand Hudnall continued as a key man in sophomore English courses, and Mr. Gates DeHart served solidly with Freshman English. Both were dedicated to helping underclassmen realize written English as their primary means of communication.

Historical Facts, Concepts To Understand The Age Headed by Acting Headmaster William Wyatt, the History Department provided the groundwork for a basic understanding of American heritage, especially for the underclassmen. For the older students, more viable concepts of philosophical and governmental factors contributing to the growth of the world today was the focus. Teaching Early Civilization for freshmen, Mr. Norman Blake presented the material from the point of view of revolutions and ideas, stressing the two factors as essential to a basic comprehension of history. Courses in Modern World History taught by Mr. Ricardo Palomares and Mr. Blake were a broad study of the major trends in historical contribution to modern thought. In helping prepare juniors for the more intricate study of U. S. Government, Mr. Nathaniel Jobe, Mr. Rodney Goggin and Mr. Leroy Atkins taught American History, } i i.

On the advice of a venerable letter from the mathematics department of MIT sent to all high schools in the United States, VES altered the program from one of equal emphasis on all aspects of mathematics taught to one centered on the basic operations and theorems of Algebra I. This readjustment also included a change in the qualifications needed to take the course in calculus; specifically, no one will be able to take the course without satisfactorily completing math analysis. Overhead projectors replaced the old, outdated blackboards in the math classrooms. Math teachers say that the projectors have helped facilitate the learning of facts by the individual students. A new geometry textbook also replaced the paperback editions used in previous years. Many mathematics teachers returned to colleges and universities in summer sessions to study and learn new concepts in teaching. As a result, a new approach was offered in hopes that students might grasp a greater understanding of mathematics. which _ is capable level.

Science Department Stresses Individual Laboratory Research Building on the strong basic understanding of subject matter it has always stressed, The Science Department provided many new opportunities for individual achievement. The Department put much more emphasis this year on laboratory work and individual research than in previous years. The laboratory offered students the chance for practical experience outside the classroom; thus, students had to think more for themselves and to rely less on memorization. Previous to this year, the Science Department had been experimenting with different formats in the sciences in an attempt to find the best course. The Department made a conscious effort to keep up to date with modern trends in the scientific world. “This year,’ Department Head Silas Daugherty said, “we seem to have found the right science course.” gpg HET pee Ns Meme eur Photographed through the doorway to Science Survey: Steve Charlie Merritt performs titration experiment in chemistry laboratory.

The department brought Bennett Carr to teach all levels of French. Mr. Carr feels that an over-all comprehension of French takes preference over the conventional methods of merely learning the grammatical aspects. Mrs. Fred Knipp, also newly acquired, taught Spanish I and II. Sharing her time with VES and Seven Hills Academy for Girls, Mrs. Knipp stressed the basics needed by beginning Spanish students for a solid understanding of the language. Leroy Atkins, newly graduated from William and Mary College, came to teach all German classes. Mr. William Wyatt, in addition to serving as headmaster for the year, taught the course in Latin IV, and Maxwell Meador, the department chairman, taught the more fundamental courses in Latin. While teaching courses of history, Mr. Ricardo Palomares, whose native language is Spanish, also took time to bring life to courses in Spanish III and IV.

Religious Instruction Yields Class Debate, Discussion, Seminar “To prepare each student for life rather than just to present an academic study,” the Reverend Gordon Allen introduced active student participation into the religious instruction course this year. In the second semester, Mr. Allen held a number of seminars to provide students with new opportunities to assert their personal ideas on human ethics. In addition, Mr. Allen encouraged a comparison of these ideas with lessons drawn from the Bible as well as_ those represented by other students’ opinions. Before the second semester's introduction to the workings of the early Christian Church, the first semester had emphasized the documentary nature of the Old Testament. Even within these _ historical precepts, Mr. Allen sought to point out the Bible’s relevancy to contemporary times. Stewart Little, Andy Prather, Greg Ferebee, Jim Cherry, Bob File, Jim Leath, and Oliver Crawley give their attention to a discussion of Rev. Gordon Allen reads a selection Psalms to members of his R.I. class — a part of an in-depth study of the Old Testament. contemporary and previous theological questions, one of Rev. Allen’s sections of Religious Instruction. 38 One purpose of the music appreciation class is to develop a respect for musical heritage. A portion of the class, Coleman Alderson, Lap Music Appreciation is Curriculum Innovation In ancient Athens a young student acquired a general knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and music, the three areas which the Greeks thought of as being basic to a well-rounded education. The academic program for 68-69 has realized two-thirds of this ideal by adding Mr. Norman Blake’s course in music appreciation to its curriculum. This year the course took a short look into the development of music from the time of ancient Greece to the present. Supplementing a general history of music, the students studied the different instruments and listened to the music of the various periods that were studied throughout the year. For the student who had no background in music, the course offered a chance to learn not only the history of music but also a basic appreciation of the media through study of written orchestral scores and _ brief biographical sketches of various composers. According to Mr. Blake, “I see this course as an enrichment which could benefit one for all his life.” Hamblen, Charles Green, Spots Glazebrook, Tom Hairston, and Lee Lumpkin, listen to a classical rendering of Handel’s “Messiah.” dda iain tet + hibition ho ll bOtdid. tied oe Wooty Peebles and Ned Cleland perform a little off-beat ‘soul’ to Mr. Norman Blake’s ensconced class in music appreciation. ¥ i iy - Ti Fade | $0 es sak art yi IF i i LPL at a 4 : ae See Se eee © seen atime hate x Seg i HU Hl Sophomore Class Cited For Its Sense Of Unity A Sophomore Class of fifty-seven boys met quite a demanding academic schedule and_ participated in varsity and junior varsity sports with encouraging results. The class elected officers early in October. Elected to office were Charles Mahan, president, Carey Murphy, vice-president, and Cac Yoyle, secretary. Voicing optimism for the year, Mahan said, “This class seems to have a tremendous sense of unity. The class in general is showing a remarkable desire for learning.” Academically, it was a rigorous year. Subsequently, the Sophomores developed strong study habits. The National Educational Development Tests were taken in December and yielded excellent results. In addition to academics, the Sophomores also had a strong year athletically.

Almost every concert included the double-quartet-plus-two which came forth from the group for a light repertory of “Hey There, Georgie Girl” and “Kansas City.” On several occasions, Parker Lumpkin, with the accompaniment of Chip Penick on the guitar, soloed folk songs in a bass voice all his own.

One-third of Student Body in Monogram Club In seeking to promote athletics, the Monogram Club did several new things this year. In addi- tion to serving as cheerleaders themselves, the members of the club arranged to have girl cheer- leaders from Seven Hills School come to the foot- ball games to cheer the Bishops on to a fine sea- son. This was the first time that VES had had such organized support. The V-Club printed and distributed programs for each football game. It also decorated the goalposts. Mr. Rock Lee, advisor to the club felt that: the suc- cess of the year’s organization is reflected in the fact that the membership reached a high of sixty-two members. The club was dedicated to promoting good sportsmanship; one-third of the student body was stimulated enough to win letters for varsity sports. IS aI AR A a a a ” a .

The group of four seniors, three juniors and two sophomores worked long hours picking bands and decorating for the dances. Serving as president of the group was Walker Box. Finding themselves with a slight deficit of funds for the finals dance, Hudnall and his committee solicited contributions from the student body. This marked the first time that students had ever donated money from their own pockets. The response was favorable, and the finals dance was considered a marked improvement. the 1968-69 Hop Committee, which initiates, plans and coordinates the school’s dances. . copy; and Robert Wise, copy.

The 1969 Vestige Staff Increases Dimensions At almost any time, afternoon, evening — weekday or weekend — members of the “Vestige”’ staff could be found writing, typing and laying-out pages toward meeting deadlines. Because of its larger headquarters, constructed this year in the basement of Randolph, the work was facilitated. Still, it was work, and laborious hours have produced a yearbook that is increased in proportions, length, and quality. Much of the quality in photography is largely attributable to sophomore Tommy Tompson, who worked systematically and steadily and whose professional-like dependability gave inspiration in times of crisis. Copy editor Will Thorp with Robert Wise and Tom Hairston were drafted and worked faithfully to turn out objective, journalistically-styled copy. As a link to classes past, a representation of history now, the “Vestige’’ chose to center its theme this year around the resurrected and beloved old bell — like the “Vestige,” a repository of time. . , tt To . y h Bill Pully, sports writer; Godfrey Cheshire, film-lit critic: Tony Norwood, columnist; and Fielding Jones, exchange editor.

New Staff — New Meteor Under the new editorship of Richard Ward and Jimmy Roediger, the “Meteor” underwent many changes this year. Attempting to place greater emphasis on intellectual and literary activities, the ‘Meteor’ included movie, book, and record reviews, along with provocative editorials. Rather than being a calendar of campus events, the paper became a student publication, written by and for students. The sports pages also felt change. Not only were synopses of games included, but also analytical accounts of past games and predictions about upcoming events. By making its editorial page open to all, new ideas and attitudes were reflected. Bes- . ty . Sh 2. Wy Ore 4 un 2 Tom Honaker, Carey Murphy, George Swift, Peter Daniel, Kim Eisler.

Sketching informally in their upstairs studio: Tay Louden, Godfrey Cheshire, and Jeb Brown. Art Group Encouraged In an effort to strengthen the academic base this year, VES introduced an art course taught by James Hopkins. Beginning with a nucleus of five boys with artistic interests, the group grew steadily. Several days a week the group met to work in pencil, charcoal, pastels, water color, and oil. Early in the year, good weather gave the group opportunity for trips to Reusens, a nearby, aging village. Artistic impressions of the rusticity of Reusens were on display in October; another showing was held in February. Qualified people commented enthusiastically on the quality of the work.

Mr. Gates DeHart directs the cast of “Animal Farm” in a final rehearsal of the dramatic reading; the acting was done in a newly devised theater-in-the-round. Drama Club Begins the Year with Animal Farm Experimenting in arena staging, the VES Drama Society presented in November a dramatic reading of Nelson Bond's adaptation of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” Since “Animal Farm” was a modified type of dramatic reading, each actor served as a major character or narrator. Major and Napoleon, two pig rulers, were performed by Coleman Alderson; Boxer, a somewhat simple but diligent work horse, by Mackie McCleary; Molly, an unfettered, young mare, by Mrs. Diana Scholl; Clover, a simple but eloquent mare, by Mrs. Freda Blake; Squealer, an articulate young porker, by Bill Pully; and Mr. Jones, a misguided farmer, by William Thorp. The presentation of the dramatic reading on the smallest stage in the school’s history was the latest development in a_ two-year digression from the conventional proscenium arrangement, stage and audience facing each other on each side. Instead, Director Gates DeHart employed a modified arena with the staging exposed on three sides. The stage and set were designed largely by Stage Manager Richard Ward. The closeness of the audience to the actors in “Animal Farm” produced an intimacy which gave the actors the conditions for conveying subtle and _ poignant communication. DeHart remarked of the theatre, “I feel that a play area can have a character of its own, and the Catacombs certainly has a distinct personality well suited for intimate theatre.” Richard Ward designed the theatre as a near replica of the Theatre Lobby, a small arena state in Washington, D.C.

Gates DeHart, presented Reginald Rose’s acclaimed television drama, “Twelve Angry Men.” In the courtroom drama, Rose elicits the reactions of individuals when they find themselves thrown into a group of strangers. Synoptically, “Twelve Angry Men” is the story of a jury whose job it is to decide upon the guilt or innocence of a slum kid accused of the murder of his father. With an initial vote, the jury finds that Juror Number Eight is not ready to send the boy off to die without talking about it first. The remainder of the play shows how Juror Eight methodically convinces the remaining eleven jurors to free the boy despite intense antagonism from Jurors Ten, Seven, and Three, portrayed by Larry Hancock, Gray Murray, and Clay Ferebee respectively.

The class began the academically critical year by electing an entirely new slate of officers. Bill Pully served as president; Steve Shelton, vice-president; and Bob Peterson, secretary-treasurer. With the newly acquired leadership the Juniors did an excellent job of improving the social life of the school. At Homecoming, they sponsored a class reception on the Jobe’s patio for Juniors and their dates. Despite early legal complications, the Juniors sold school mugs for the first time in four years. Realizing the importance that colleges place on academic excellence in the junior year, the Juniors applied themselves to the primary purpose — an education.

A successful year in varsity sports for VES was largely accredited to athletic skill on the part of many Juniors. 72 With lettermen in every varsity sport, the Juniors developed themselves in body as well as in mind.

Varsity Football Wins Six In Superb Season Together, the members of the Bishop team held a determination to end the previous year’s losing streak. At season’s end — six games were Bishop victories. “The delightful thing,” commented Head-coach Rock Lee, “‘is that we had a squad of thirty-six men and were able to use all of them. This was the first time in my nineteen years here that that has happened.” With Head-coach Lee, coaches Goggin, Atkins, and Elder provided individual training for each player. For the team and coaches, satisfaction was earned by hard-fought games. “It was a vast improvement, and with the same material from last year,” said coach Goggin. “The spirit was different — something that VES needed. We had a great line!” The full slate of losses was first interrupted in the third game by a 32 to 0 win against Blue Ridge. Players Clay Ferebee, Lynch Christian, and Peter Grover instituted a running game with 4 out of 6 passes completed for 181 yards. Only twice were the Bishops threatened, and each time the challenge was met by another touchdown. At EHS, the Bishops carried the ball ahead 12 to 0 in the first half, but a nullified touchdown and a maroon comeback in the second half resulted in a loss.

Although St. Chris and EHS were loss games, Mr. Lee said, “I was surprised we could do so well.” He commented, too, on the Collegiate game — a Bishop win, 41-0. “It was the best game . . . On an early play, we completely destroyed them.” The Bishops capitalized on pass interceptions and fumbles. The closest Collegiate got to scoring was on the VES 11-yard line, after a 33-yard run. If the team remembers the Collegiate game as one of the unimpeded victories, it could not forget the frustrating defeat (6-0) by Christchurch. Sometimes referred to as the “War of the Mire,” the Bishops played on a soaked field. In a heavy wind, Christchurch scored on an unplanned pass for the winning touchdown. In the second quarter, the VES drive to tie the score was thwarted on the 10-yard line by a fumble. The Bishops have ended their losing streak. The defense was a big one to work with, and the offense proved adept at executing new plays. “We've done well,” said coach Goggin,” and [ll be disappointed if we do not continue to improve . . .

After the first three losses, hopes were bolstered by a win over Randolph-Macon Academy, 20-36. With the next three meets, the team’s margin of defeat was steadily narrowed; there was a _ hair-breadth loss to Christchurch, 27-28. At Homecoming the team dealt a crushing defeat to Collegiate, 16-46. Asheville School fell next by a score of 24-31. The State Meet at Woodberry produced less than encouraging results. The Bishops’ high placers were Robert Parsons and Lee Heath, coming in 29th and 32nd, respectively. JV honors went to Braxton Gilliam who earned 12th place and a blue ribbon. Coaches Allen and DeHart held an optimistic outlook for next year’s team, which is suffering only one loss — Co-captain Chris McLendon. It was decided that the team’s season start. before the opening of school to compensate for this year’s late beginning. Coach Allen was quick to praise the boys’ efforts toward teamwork.

Their first game against Nelson County, despite a lopsided 28-0 score, showed excellent potential. This potential developed in the next game against Hargrave. Despite a fine effort, the game ended in a very close 7-6 loss. In the next three games, the freshmen could not start a scoring drive — Liberty: 26-0; Sandusky, 34-0; and Randolph-Macon Academy, 27-0. Coaches McGill and Moore ironed out some of the wrinkles, however, and the team took a 7-0 victory over Linkhorne Junor High. In spite of increased optimism, the final game against Blue Ridge concluded in a 12-6 defeat. Coaches McGill and Moore felt that the greatest problems were the general lack of size and experience. There was some difficulty in functioning as a team.

Led down the court by captains Wooty Peebles and Charles Green in the Episcopal High game, the turning point toward a more etal season, however, came with a 53 to 45 victory over the Maroons. As Peebles put it, “The EHS game brought the team together. The win gave the team confidence it hadn’t had before. Each of us was really proud of the school — the students, everybody.

As opposed to the earlier Tidewater defeat in which high-scorers Peebles and Peterson fouled out in the last three minutes, with the opposition edged within six points, the team led the scoring for most of the R-MA game. “Significantly,” remarked Peebles, “the fast-break worked beautifully.” Coach Bobby Lynch commented, “Most of all they had begun to run. That’s when we started to win.” Lynch Christian squeezes under Maroon defender for a basket in first home victory for Bishops against traditional rival EHS. 86 Contributing to the upset of Episcopal, Robert File overcomes aggressive defense for critical two points in close first-half. Temporary slack in Episcopal’s defense gives co-captain Charles Green a chance to display his skill, unguarded from twenty feet out. New Bishop starter, Neal “Zip” Partrick, goes up over Episcopal defense looking for a chance to shoot or assist for a basket. Improved Individuals Help Over-All Effort Individual members scoring in double figures stood out. “Parker Lumpkin, up from the JV team has really given an added boost,” Coach Lynch remarked. “In the latter half of the season, Lumpkin was scoring more as well as being a dependable defensive man.” Lynch felt that Peables a quick player, good on starting a fast break and in getting the ball down the court, was the most improved player. The coach commented further that “Lynch Christian is a player with overall hustle who has been a consistently high scorer. Junior Varsity Cagers Turn In Fair Season Through a season of many lopsided games for both sides, the Junior Varsity Squad managed to come out with a moderately even record. As a first test, the JV’s easily outplayed a team composed of a number of daring Seniors. This first victory seemed to contribute much to the spirits of the players, for the JV’s defeated Blue Ridge, 56-24, and Woodberry Forest, 52-15. Unfortunately, the next game against R. E.

Varsity Soccer Notable For Superior Effort Returning with only a few lettermen of the 68 team, the Varsity Soccer squad had to reacquire its team image in order to begin winning. Led by captains Clay Ferebee, Holmes Morton, and Louie Foster, the Bishops began slowly but showed poe potential as individuals as well as a team. Aside from losing two starters, Lec Leckie and Peter Grover, for a majority of the games, they could not seem to crack the brick wall in front of the goal and were held scoreless for the first five games. The defense stood out, however, allowing almost few enough goals for a ere average low in opponent's scores. Throughout the season, the entire team showed immense improvement, with many individual standouts: on defense, Charlie Mahan, Bruce Guignard, ie Warden, and Clay Ferebee; and on offense, Holmes Morton and Hampton Shuping. Goalie, Louie Foster, led the team with outstanding over-all effort and made many saves that would have otherwise meant lopsided scores. Coach Tom Moore said he felt the whole team had given constant, hard effort, and though some were superior teams, more games should have been won.

Although many of the men lacked experience in the sport, instructive practice and cooperation built the team into a well-balanced group. The offensive forward comprised of Bill Deuster, Dubbie McMillan, Cac Hoyle, Ned Dillon, and Sam Guerin exhibited its aggressive nature, scoring without sacrificing fine team play for personal glory. The backfield, Whit Turner, John Lane, Tommy Thomson, Graham Baker, John Barron, and Spots Glazebrook, demonstrated invaluable importance. Through the training of Rev.

Golf Acquires Several Promising Members As soon as practice began for the °68-’69 golf team, it was apparent that the team had both strength and depth. This year’s team had a notable talent in the form of new members who have proven themselves in previous years. Along with returning lettermen, John Pope, Bob Peterson, and Sam Guerin, newcomers Baron Currin and Lawrence Hicks proved tough contenders for team rank. Lawrence Hicks played number-two position at Page High in Greensboro, and Barron Currin played numer-one position at the school he attended. Charles Johnson, Neal Partrick, and Jim Thomason also showed promise. According to Paul Hebberger, team coach, the year’s squad is one of the most promising in recent years. 93 Schedule for Season Northcross ___ Fork Union __ Fork Union __— Woodberry Forest HaGeGlasse= = Northcross ___ VES __ VES __ VES __ VES ae VES VES Bill Alexander pops a fast ball thrown by Glass pitcher.

Pre-season practice for the Varsity Baseball Squad showed a strong infield and good hitting for the Bishops. Rod Goggin, coach, and Rock Lee, infield coach, agreed that the success of the team would lie in the quality of the new recruits and in its pitching. Out for the first time this year, Carl Cheshire at short-stop, Robert File at third base and pitcher, and Hunter Beach as catcher, promised to add the needed depth to the returning five. Charles Green with an evasive knuckle ball and Lynch Christian with a good fast ball formed the nucleus of the pitching staff. New to the Varsity Squad, Bobby McKenna, Rhae Adams and Robert File were to see some action on the mound. Rounding off the squad were seniors Hal Worsley, Caull Exum, and Lee Lumpkin, who played varsity last year, and sophomores Dan Thomason and Carey Murphy. 95 In game with E. C.

Looking toward the spring, twelve matches were scheduled. One of the opposing teams, Christ School, had never been played by the Bishops. E. C. Glass High School and St. Christopher’s promised to provide the most difficult matches. “A hard-working, well-balanced varsity of unusual potential,” in Captain Lee Leckie’s opinion, the upcoming challenges were viewed by his team with cautious confidence.

However, there was definite enthusiasm on the part of each individual to achieve his best in his respective event. In past years, the team’s ability rested somewhat on the shoulders of a ‘star, but this year the team seemed to have achieved a greater balance among all its members. According to Coach Lloyd Horton, the weight team looked very strong. More dependable throwers — Bill Nexsen and Rip Wilson. There was great strength also in sprints and relays. T. Barker Dameron, Walker Box, and Rice Matthews ran very well together. The only weak areas on the entire squad were in the hurdles, the distance, and the middle distance events; Royall Brown and Robert Parsons showed great promise for the season. In the distance and middle-distance events, David Bland and Hampton Shuping showed themselves early to be valuable assets; lack of depth may have | proven a hindrance in these areas.

Wyatt expressed that in spite of the handicap of being without a Headmaster he felt that this session would be a successful and rewarding one. He and his colleagues assumed extra duties and a greater burden of work than would have otherwise been the case. With this in mind, the Administration has striven toward the objectives of a well-rounded education, as before. Bertrand Ryland Hudnall, IJ, B.A., M.Ed.

Seniors edited both the newspaper and the yearbook. The counsellor body, comprised entirely of seniors, performed their dormitory duties effectively. In athletics the seniors were the dominant force in all varsity sports. Rigorous practices, and a determined effort on their part gave VES a winning year overall for the varsity squads. Advisors to the class were R. I. Lee, Nathaniel Jobe and Bennett Carr. In the words of Lee, “The class of ’69 has shown great individualism and maturity.

Throughout The Year — Individualism And Unity In Class Of °69 In its initial class meeting, a plea for tolerance and open-mindedness was made by a number of seniors, setting the tone for a year which saw a class of in- dividuals come together in unity. Chris McLendon was the seniors’ choice to lead the class this year. Other elected officers were Frank John- son, vice-president, and Cecil Taylor, secretary-treasurer. With the best college board scores in VES history, the class of °69 faced the trials of college applications with high hopes. Many gained early decision acceptance. In a break with the predominate choice of southern col- leges, a substantial number of students sought and achieved acceptance at a wide range of northern and mid-western schools.

Although the Politically Stimulated Students Cheer Candidates Firm opinion, a genuine concern for the country in which they live, and the enthusiasm of political competition were all evident among students and ean ie in the pre-election political rally held in the gymnasium. Humphrey, Nixon, Wallace, and Gregory were each represented by their respective sp eaker before a platform often assaulted by partisan cries: “Go, Go, Gettum . . . Gettum . . . Humph, Humph,” “Spiro is a Zero,’ and “Dump the Hump!” These phrases emanated from the placard-studded crowd for most of the evening and were interrupted only when the supporters of the top two contenders managed to unite in an attack against the Wallacites with “Seig. Heil,” complete with salute. 132 reason for this gathering was political, many Wallacites used the occasion to celebrate their own Civil War Centennial. When the crowd silenced, it was confronted with the issues. “Business should provide the guiding light through the bureaucratic maze” ... “There are vast numbers of people in this country who are being pushed under by big business, big government, and big politics,” and “His record shows an_ unfledging compassion toward minority rights.” These statements were challenged and pondered, supported and decried. The following morning, as the nation went to the polls, the students of VES voted its preferences. For Nixon: 40.4%; Wallace, 26.4%; Humphrey, 24.8%; and Gregory, 6.7%. A surprise for some, an elation for others, the results stood — a lesson in the American democratic system.

Even In Isolation, No One Escaped ‘The Message’ Isolated geographically from the nation’s political and cultural centers, even from the heart of Lynchburg, the school community is limited to 160 acres of Virginia soil, U.S.A., and its inhabitants seldom move beyond its boundaries for their diurnal tasks. But because the media is the message is the massage, students are never far outside the mainstream of contemporary thought and action. Ever-present electrons project the raw vicissitudes of an Asian war just after “another hilarious episode” of “George of the Jungle.” Juxtaposition. Fragmentation. Color and sound. lip the switch and it’s happening. Periodicals to which students subscribe ranged from The Village Voice to The Wall Street Meigs to The Shotgun News.

From The World Within Within the chapel’s bare, white walls, students and faculty came together to more traditional sounds. No voices were raised there in protest. The noise of war and shrieking electronics were some place beyond the quiet. Men ascended the pulpit: “Grant us patience under our afflictions. Give us grace to be just and upright . . . quiet and peaceable; full of compassion; and ready to do good to all men.” Student vestrymen took turns at sitting in the lay reader’s chair. Opposite each other, classes of young men sat and knelt. At the center of the nave, above the alter, the wooden cross in three- dimension. A stately fugue in G Minor; “Cantate No. 140” of Bach; and an orderly procession moved out . . . Throughout the day, boys gathered in small groups, in classes, at meals, in friends’ rooms, to exchange opinions on a topic, a policy, an event. Young men came to know each other well. Together they weighed, evaluated, pondered. In a year, an interim year, there was concern for the future. There was a sense of basis from the past. There was challenge, and in that — there was hope.
