Editor’s note: Scattered on this page and on page 4 are six sample vignettes from Bob Keefe’s new book, “Rockbridge County in 733 Vignettes.” For the remaining 627 vignettes, you’ll need to buy his book.
“Erin go-brah, go-brah, go-bree! We are the Irish of Washington & Lee!” There you have the official yell of the W&L Irish Club in 1895, whose officers had titles such as Keeper of the Royal Swine, Past Grand Keeper of the Royal Shillalee, Court Minstrel, and of course Keeper of the Sacred Jug. The illustration is from the student yearbook, the Calyx.
