Page 5 - VESTIGE 1981

Mr. Ainslie finds time after lunch to confer with Mr. Hopkins about the writing ability of the seniors.
At the end of this school year our Headmaster, Lee Sanford Ainslie, Jr., will leave us to return to Episco- pal High School, his old school, as Headmaster. Dur- ing his seven years here, VES has experienced tremen- dous growth. This has been largely due to Mr. Ains- lie's leadership and his insistence that we rededicate ourselves to the principles upon which VES was founded. We have been reminded to set standards for ourselves, standards of dress, standards of conduct, standards of academic performance, and most impor- tantly standards of honor. All of these are elements of the VES tradition which have been encouraged and strengthened during Mr. Ainslie's tenure.
Not only have we grown personally, the school has grown materially. The physical plant has been en- larged and refurbished, the deficit reduced, the en- dowment enlarged, and enrollment increased. There is a feeling of progress and growth throughout the whole school community.
With all the confidence which Mr. Ainslie has brought to VES it is easy to see why he will be sorely missed by both faculty and students. Because of where we are, and because of the vision of the future he has provided the 1981 Vestige is affectionately dedicated to Lee Sanford Ainslie, Jr, our leader and our friend.
