CHANGE OF THE METEOR
Once again the METEOR has re- turned to the magazine form with new articles, new columns, and new staff and advisor. THE METEOR, as some persons hove commented, is only as good as the students who back it. This is emphatically true! THE METEOR is a school publication that necessarily does represent the views of the V. E. S. student body. If you really want to support your school's publication, write a letter to
the editors and criticize or simply comment on the magazine and
articles.· Don't let your opportunity to be heard by everyone associated with the school go to waste!
SCHOOL SPIRIT
If you read "Carper's Cubby- hole" this month, you'll see that school spirit is dropping. In other schools the students are forced to attend all games and other athletic activities. They are forced to yell and put up "a nice false front."
One of the great advantages of V. E. S. is that attendance of such activities is left entirely to the in- dividual and that parents and friends may attend any of these games at which the boys are present. Read Bill Carper's article and take its ad- vice. We cannot be expected to win if the cheering is only half-heartedly done. Let's beat William Fleming not only on the court, but also in the stands!
THE LATE VirEpsCo
Once upon o time, there was a fun- loving group of students dedicated to the proposition that everyone en- joys a play. This group was called the VirEpsCo (Virginia Episcopal School Company). Perhaps they were not professional Shakespearian actors, but at least they provided an out- let for some students' desires and provided a whole, totally different field of extra-curricular activity.
Currently, the stage is the center of the weight lifters. Its expensive lights and wiring ore urged, at most, only for groups playing on the stage during dances.
Mr. Carnes, step forth!
COMPLAINT DEPT.
Many of the students these days complain about one thing or another here at school. THE METEOR sug- gests that rather than "just com- plain" and get nowhere, the students use their representatives, the coun- selors, for their complaints. Believe it or not, they actually do work and help matters.
EDITOR OF THE METEOR:
Is it not true that when a boy goes out for a sport, he t~kes upon himself the responsibility of upholding the training rules of that team? Certainly this is true. Yet every day, I see violations of these rules . . . namely smoking. By doing this, the boys not only hurt themselves, but also the team, and in a larger sense, the school.
All this naturally leads to a lack of school spirit and team spirit. In my mind, if one doesn't intend to put his "all" into o sport, then move aside for someone else who does!
-H. Cary.
The comments written here are quite true. The team captains should, without doubtT ta.lce the lead in such matters. If, however, eTfher ~f the two is not l'llways available, I belle\>b that the V-Club has o provision in its constitution for the enforcement of training rules.
