FOREWORD
We enjoy our life at Greenbrier, but of course there are dark days. However,
when the future draws a veil over the mistakes we made, the demerits we received,
the hours we walked—when we turn back in memory to the times we were young
and care-free and the w'orld was our own personal oyster—then, we are sure, we
will recall the pleasant times we had here with our friends.
When we leave "The Brier” we hope to continue our friendships, but in the
natural course of events it is probable that some of us will never see each other again.
But we can always meet in the pages of this Brier Patch.
If the text and pictures printed to mirror Life at the Home of the Fighting
Cadets during 1951 serve to bring back to you fond memories of the past, the
staff will have done well that task assigned to it. It is our sincere hope that you will
enjoy revisiting the school and that your memories will be happy ones . . .
“Shut in From All the II orld Without—”

DEDICATION
It is an honor to dedicate the 1951
Brier Patch to Miss E. Katherine Moore,
our jriend.
"Miss Kate” is one to whom the alumni
write, one whom they love. We share that
affection. To us, she will always be a sym-
bol of the personal friendliness and desire
to help others which mean so much at
Greenbrier.

The Greenbrier Cadets are privileged to offer their Annual Salute

Q_^/n July 8, 1776, the famous Liberty Bell rang
in Philadelphia to "proclaim liberty throughout
all the land and to all the inhabitants thereof.”
A virile new nation teas born.
In 1812, James Madison was President of the
United States. The Constitution, valiant ship
of a brave young nation, met and defeated the
British Guerriere, and when the final gun of
that war had been fired, America had gained com-
mercial freedom as well as national pride in the
superior guns and marksmanship of her Navy.
And in 1812, when Greenbrier County was 34
years old, Dr. McElhenney, beloved pastor of Old
Stone Presbyterian Church, man of God and
friend of man, opened the doors of Lewisburg
Academy.

Nazem Abraham
He came to us from Williamson, W. Va. He is
one of the spokes in wheel of Co. C. Once a
proud OWL but now' . . . still holds his head up
high. One of his favorite sports is GIRLS among
others. In the classroom he is in favor of help-
ing you . . . and, more than this he is an all
round JOE CADET. For his future life he plans
to study medicine at JOHNS HOPKINS . . .
some fun . . . The future holds much for Nazem;
we know that he will earn the best it has to offer.
William Douglas Baldwin, Jr.
Skip, as he is known to the boys, is a fine young
gentleman who came to us via Charleston, W. Va.
His favorite sport is chasing BIRD-DOGS up the
stoop. A minor sport is nagging girls. He likes
CREAMING around in his hot rod ... is doing
very well over at the College. Likes to play golf
and from what we hear is pretty good too. He’s
quite a joker and likes to play jokes on everyone.
Whenever you feel blue just go to see Baldwin;
if he can’t cheer you up, you’re gone, son, gone!
Charles Harold Atwood, Jr.
Charlie comes to us from that booming me-
tropolis of South Charleston, W. Va. Often goes
by the name of Sonny ... is an ardent fan of
the "Sky King” cooperation. Played guard on the
varsity football squad and also a mighty fine
catcher on the varsity baseball squad. Showed
great enthusiasm on the winning A-l heavy
basketball team. Not only that, he plays sports;
he is also squad leader of the first squad, first
platoon Co. A. Thinking that no one in school
knows it, he is a secret lover of one of the girls
at G. G, W. Best of luck in the future, SONNY.
Carlos Alberto Bermudez
Bermudez is one of the boys from down under.
Is a member of the Best company in the Dorm;
is a good student and has a fine record here at
school. This is his first year at the Brier and he
seems to enjoy it. He is now out for Track and
is quite a fine runner . . . Like all good sons of
the Dominican Republic, he will be happy to
tell you about its blue skies, pretty women, and
other Paradise-like attractions. He is very friend-
ly and we wonder why he doesn't date the Col-
lege. Is he true to someone back home? . . .
Here’s wishing you the best of luck in the future.

SENIOR
Reinaldo Antonio Bisono
"Bis” as he is more commonly called by the
gang, hails from "South of the border”. It has
been rumored that he is quite the "Cass” across
town. He is an ardent fan of all athletics but
particularly Track, Baseball, Football, Basketball,
and Tennis. (Golly, is there any more). "Bis”
is well liked by all, and we wish him the best of
luck in anything he does in the future. It is
known that he enjoys that NORTH-SOUTH
GAME in Charleston every year. More fun.
John Wagner Caplinger
Better known as "Johnny”, a fine looking boy
comes to the Brier from Elkins, W. Va. This is
Johnny’s first year and he is doing fine in his
school work. He participated in Intra-mural
sports and is one of Co. A’s famous lightweights.
Johnny has a fine personality ... is liked by
everyone here. After his completion at the Brier
we wish him all the luck in the world. Also
best of luck in the COAST GUARD ACADEMY.
Lester Wade Burnside, Jr.
"Cappy” as he is known to us all, is a fellow
Clarksburger. This is his second year and to
hear Cappy tell it he LOVES IT. Being a member
of Co. "B” is ALL for the company. They really
have some good times up in the suite. Since he
rooms with Harvey he never goes to reville. Just
a few days before Christmas leave, he fell out of
bed and shook the suite, to lengthen it a bit.
Being a good student, able to learn whenever he
puts his mind to it, this Mountaineer is seldom
seen gracing the precincts of the famous Night
Study Hall. In everything that you do in the
future we, the cadets of G. M. S. wish you the
best in everything.
Samuel M. Cassidy
"Slick” comes from Kentucky and really thinks
that it is the only state in the Union. He and
Major Keene think along the same lines in that
respect. Claims there’s nothing better than Blue
Grass for breakfast ... Is also platoon
leader of first platoon in good ole Co. "A” and
likes all sports. He says he is heck with the
women, and yet nobody sees him at the College.
Claims the girls over here aren’t good enough for
him. Maybe he is a "Cass”, you never can tell.
Seriously, Sam is a likeable boy and known for
his sincerity and fine personality. Good luck in
the future.

CLASS
Samuel L. Croft
Angus as he is commonly called hails from
the fine state of Virginia and the town of Staunton.
This is Sam’s fourth year at the Brier, and I know
that everyone will miss him when he leaves.
"Angus” is well liked by all the cadets and has
a fine personality. He does all right for himself
across the way also. "Angus” plays Intra-mural
sports and gives his company a great deal of spirit.
Wishing him the best of luck in what he does
and we re sure the boys in Co. B wish him the
same.
James Lynn D’Spain
Jim is our cowboy wonder, the only cadet who
hails from the Lone Star State. More commonly
called "Cactus", and seems to think that the
Union joined Texas, but we all know that it was
vice-versa. Although he says Texas is the best,
he spends a great deal of his time in Charleston,
W. Va. Seems to like the girls from Charleston,
especially the ones with good sun tans, and even
writes to one. Down deep in his heart he knows
West Virginia is best. Jim is a swell guy and
liked by all. We wish you the best of luck . . .
Jim.
Enrique Dorta
Everyone at the Brier knows him as Henry.
Being at the Brier for four year, has become ac-
customed to the schedule. He comes to us via
South America and is liked by all. He is an able
platoon leader of the first platoon of Co. C. Henry
doesn’t spend much of his time over at the
Girl’s College but manages to pay them a visit
often. Hope you succeed in anything you do in
the future. Good luck Henry.
Charles F. Erickson
Charlie is better known as the "Voice.” He
hails to us from Man, the home of the "Dark
Town Strutters Ball.” He is the able commander
of the Honor Company in the Battalion. Likes
sports and is quite a joker, and persists on teasing
a certain boy about his big LIP. Has done as
well as a cadet can possibly do at the girls resi-
dence across town. We know he will succeed in
anything he attempts. Good luck "Chorlie”.

SENIOR
William R. Fields
"Bill,” as he is known to all the boys, hails from
Amherstdale, West Virginia. Bill is a good
supporter for Co. "B” and takes part in all
sports, but his major sport is Girls, especially
the ones from Ashland, Ky. Bill is well liked
by all and even by Jane. In fact, he is handsome,
courteous, easy to get along with, and a very good
student. We wish Bill all the luck in the future
years to cpme. And we know that Co. "B” and
the cadets at G. M. S. wish him the best of luck
also.
Anthony Georgiana
"Hook” hails to us from the state where they
practice night flying in the daytime. (Penna.)
He seems to think it is the best. Guess we could
argue though.
Tony is quite the "Cass” across town . . .
always gets the cream of the crop. Tries to give
them all a break but never has the time. He is
stuck on the girls from Virginia, and enjoys all
other sports, especially football, which he proved
this year by playing for the J. V. Team. Tony is
a popular guy with everybody. Good luck!
Glenn Alfred Garrett, Jr.
"Shimp," as he is known to the gang, hails
from Brackenridge, Penna. He is a loyal sup-
porter for his company and especially in Intra-
mural sports. He is a member of the cham-
pionship kickball team of 1950. Patsy . . . his
favorite hobby in Ashland is quite true to him
and he likes his hobby very much. He is also
well liked by the Cadet corps. Has a fine person-
ality and a kind one. In the future he plans to
become an Engineer and knowing "Shimp” he
will give it all he has. Best of luck.
Frederick Allen Godin
"Smiley” as he is known to many of the Cadets
hails to us from Beckley and is very popular
here with everyone. He is perhaps the boy most
likely to succeed. He shows great support for
that up and coming company, Co. "C”. Plays
all types of sports and is quite good in all of
them. He hopes to be a member of the Varsity
Tennis and up to date is doing a fine job. He is
true to the Girl back home and all he talks about
is she. Wishing you the best in all the things
you attempt and knowing you will succeed.

Robert Lamert Guyer
Bob is a smiling Southern gentleman, suh,
from down Danville, Va., way ... He makes
good grades most of the time, occasionally gets
on bounds (watch those midnight taxis!), oc-
casionally writes an editorial for the newspaper,
enjoyed two SIPA trips, made wild gyrations as a
cheer-leader, managed to sponsor a Maid of
Honor, and may be headed for the Washington
and Lee campus . . . We think "Ned” can make
a fine record all the way through.
Robert Miller Harris, Jr.
One of the lucky town boys that lives just a
few steps off campus. He’s sure a good golf
player, so they say (No. 1 man on the team).
Although he is a S/Sgt. in Co. "D” he enjoys
most the Lewisburg Leisure Lovers Club. Bobby
has been a member of the Famed OWLS Club
since he’s been here at school. We are confident
Bob will make an outstanding record if he decides
to attend Johns Hopkins, and he can take out our
appendix any time (for free).
Martin Luther Harmon, Jr.
An all-round Intra-mural Sports star, Harmon
is a fixture on All-Star teams. He served well
on the Sports Council. He numbers his friends
by the score. He is a big morale builder for his
company. We predict a rosy future for this
friendly, capable Sergeant. If you want him in
a hurry, don’t yell "Sarge!"—yell "Pete!”
Sammy D. Harvey
Sam hails to us from Ashland in the good ole
blue grass country. He thinks Kentucky is the
only state and the rest are just suburbs. Every-
body to their own opinions . . . right? Sam takes
an active part in all sports and likes football best.
He is an able First Sgt. of Co. ' B” and is well
liked by all. Wishing him the best in life in
anything he does. Good luck Sam.

John W. Hearne
Jack comes to us via Charleston, the thriving
Capitol of West Virginia. He is active in all
sports, especially tennis. He is also quite the
Cassanova across town at the girls HOTCIENDA.
He is not sure what he wants to do in life but
whatever it is he will make the best of it. His
friendly smile and happy ways have endeared
him to us. Best of luck in the future!
Harvey Sheldon Howe, Jr.
Howe comes to us from the fair ctiy of West
Orange, N. J. This is his first year at the Brier
and he seems to like it very much. Since he has
been here he has gone out in a big way for
company sports and also played on the J. V. basket-
ball squad. Here’s wishing you all the luck
in the future and we know that you will do the
best in anything you attempt in the future.
John Hiner
Big John as he is called hails to us from the
fair city of Beckley. Knowing that Beckley is
the cemetery with lights, we know why he is called
"Big John.” This is his fourth year at the Brier
and he is Company Commander of the BAND
and is doing a fine job of it too. John plays
Intra-mural sports and is an all round guy. He
makes many trips across town and is quite in-
terested in the subjects taught over there. Here’s
wishing you the best of luck in the future "Big
John.”
George B. Irons
George as he is usually referred to by his
friends is a resident of the hugh and booming
metropolis of Pickaway. All kidding aside George
is a fine guy. Quiet and reserved with not
much to say, but possessing a personality that
seems to make things easier when he is around.
George is a member of the Owls Club as well as
being an athlete, and experts predict a great
future for brilliant George in the fields of higher
learning.

Joseph Francis Kelley
"Joe” as he is commonly called is well liked
by the members of his company and the corps.
Goes all out for Intra-mural sports and is very
good in all of them. He is a member of the 1st
platoon Co. "A" and likes it very much. Joe also
does quite well with the girls at the College, that
is at least a few of them as he hasn’t enough time
to give all of them a break. Good luck to you
in the future and we know you will do your best
in whatever you attempt.
Earl L. Kyzer
"Prox” as he is more commonly called by all
the Fighting Cadets is a member of good ole

fan of all sports and is very good in all of them,
especially golf. With all of his great ambitions
we know that he will succeed in anything he
attempts in the future . . . the best of luck,
"PROX.”
Charles Maxwell Kincaid
Wilson E. Lafferty
"Cax Mincaid” as he is called by many a
cadet is one of the fortunate town boys in the
Btn. He is the Supply Sgt. and likes his job very
much as he never has to go to Drill and all that
stuff. Max says that he likes best of all going to
Capt. Gainer’s classroom next to playing football.
This year he played guard on the Varsity football
squad. Max also is a great supporter of Intra-
mural sports. He is one of our outstanding stu-
dents. In the future all the FIGHTING CADETS
will be behind you. Good luck.
Wilson is better known to his more intimate
friends as Wee Willie. A better natured fellow
cannot be found than he. He is always smiling
or laughing and is just one of those fellows you
like to be around. Coming to us from Clarksburg,
he is a true mountaineer and mighty proud of it,
too. Just to change things a bit I have some
pretty good adjectives that would do an excellent
job of giving you all a general idea of Wilson.
Here they are—jovial—good natured—heavy set
—and intelligent. He worked mighty hard on
this year book. Take it easy in the future, Wee
Willie, and the best of luck.

famed beat here at GMS and claims not to mind
it much. Since he lives on "C” stoop has an
easy method of getting in and out of his window.
Loves town leave . . . and plays in many sports
and most of all likes to exercise at drill. Likes
all of his classes and thinks he is SAM GAINER’S
little pet. Knowing that you will do the best
type of job you get in the future make the most

"Charlie” as he is often called hails to us from
Widen, W. Va. This is his first year at the
Brier and he seems to like it very much. This
handsome lad is very good in all sports and
especially in Basketball, which he showed by
making the JV team. In the future we wish him
the best in whatever he does and know that he
will do it to the best of his ability.
Billy Clifford McAmis
Hails to us from a wide spot in the road
known as Tazewell, Va. Likes sports and is good
in all of them. Is quite an animal lover espe-
cially ' Bobcats.” He says they are beautiful speci-
mens of animal life. He is also the stern and able
commander of 2nd platoon Co. "A” ... Is liked
by all for his good nature and swell personality.
He has great ambitions and we know he will
succeed in the future. Good luck "Mac.”
Joseph Anthony Mendez
"Joe” as he is more commonly called comes
to us from the city of HIGH buildings, yes . . .
you’re right, New York. Joe is an all around
good team mate to have on all the teams and
especially Baseball. He also rooms in C Company
with that great chaser of BIRDDOGS and has a
great deal of fun. Likes best of all sticking the
Major. His modesty wouldn’t let him admit it,
but he plays a mean third base, can do all right
at first, is a good all-round athlete. The best of

Next to "Joe” cadet in that famed Co. "D”
comes that runner up . . . that baseball manager
. . . Newland. He is well liked by all and takes
part in the company. He comes to us from
Franklin, N. J. Take a good look at that dignified
countenance and picture him in the future as an
ambassador to some foreign country—or a cracker-
barrel expert on national affairs. In the future
we are sure that all the boys in Co. "D” will re-
member him. Good luck in the future, Bill.
Joseph Harris Morton
Joe as he is known by almost everyone in
school hails to us from that thriving city of
Valley Head. Being only a few miles from the
home of the FIGHTING CADETS comes up
often in the summer time to give the place a
good looking over. "Joe” is a member of Co.
"A” and says that he would not trade it for any
of the others. Takes much interest in the com-
pany as you can see when you look on his blouse.
He is very active in school activities and is
also Military Editor of the BRIER PATCH. He
is quite a character and likes to get into a little
trouble now and then. He plans to go to the "U”
next year and we wish you the best of luck.
William Lewis Pralley
Bill, as he is more commonly called by the
Cadets, hails to us from Fairmont, W. Va. He
likes very much dating over at the College and is
quite true to the Girl over there. Whenever there
is a town leave and you want to know where
Bill is all you have to do is go to the College
and you will probably find him. In the winter
he likes very much to go to Florida and catch
up on his Beauty sun tan. In the future he hopes
very much to go to the Naval Academy and we
all here at the Brier wish you the best of luck
and hope that you get the appointment.

SENIOR
Mathew Murril Ralston
Maerc, as he is more commonly called by most
of the Cadets and is a member of that famed
Co. "D”, comes to us by the way of Beckley,
W. Va. In Beckley he is known as the Flash,
here at school he is just known as the "SPARK”
of Co. "D.” Often you can see him on the famed
beat but he says it is on account of something
that someone else did and he got blamed for it.
Next year he plans to go to the "U” and you all
know that he will make a big hit up there. Good
luck "Maerc.”
Ronald Cassell Vines
His real name being Ronald C. Vines every-
one here at the Brier calls him just plain old
Vines. He comes to us VIA Beckley, W. Va. He
rooms on the back side of the Quad, and likes that
position very much. He likes girls by the name
of "Sally” and is true to all of them. He plays
all types of Intra-mural sports for Co. "B” and
likes them all. He also wrestled and won his
match. He hasn't made many plans for the
future which means that he wants to come back
next year, but whatever he plans we are sure that
he will do the best.
Samuel S. Stewart
Sammy is well liked by all the members of Co.
"B" and all the Fighting Cadets. Does not like
to be called "Shelton” although he is often
called this. Since he rooms with the Cadet Major
he gets by with a lot of things never getting
caught. Sam is quite the man of sports and is
really a fine supporter to his Company. In the
future we know that he has many plans and
that he will carry them out to the best of his
ability. Good luck Sam.
James Edward Vossler
"Jim" as he is more commonly called hails
to us from way up North, that is, East Aurora,
N. Y. Jim is quite the "Cass” and is liked by all
the Cadets in school. He is a quiet boy in a sort
of a funny way and likes to have FUN if you
know what we mean. He plays Intra-mural sports
for Co. "D" and is good in all of them. To you
in the future Jim, here’s wishing you the best
of everything.

CLASS
Wilbert W. Warren
Webb as he is more commonly called is a
member of Co. "C” and likes it very much. He is
also the Platoon Sgt., 1st Platoon. He is also
quite active at the College with his little woman.
Just about every day you can see him over at the
College. For the future he has great plans and
we know that he will carry them out to the best
of his ability. He has carried out his plans very
well at GMS. He rooms in that first floor suite
where he gets a grand-stand free seat at all
baseball games. He is always ready for a laugh,
and numbers his friends by the score. The best
of luck to you, Webb!
Archer Alexander Wilson, II
Arch hails to us from the fair city of Charles-
ton, W. Va. . . . says its the only town to live
in. Never has anything to do with the College
cause he’s quite TRUE BLUE to the girl back
home. We hear she’s "rite” cute too. What do
you say Arch? He is quite the fan of Cowboy’s
and is even the side kick of a famous one, we
all know as Red Ryder, you know Little Beaver,
that's Arch. He is an ardent fan of all sports, and
is good in them, so he says, especially basketball
and tennis. Good luck.
William Bream White, Jr.
"Bill” as he is more commonly called by the
members of the Band, is quite the spark of the
Band. He is an able squad leader and does a
wonderful job at it. He goes all out for band
sports and is also very active in all the school
activities. He is tall, amiable, makes a mighty
dignified fellow on duty, and may end up one of
these days as a general (not a prediction, but we
do think Bill could make a good Four-Star).
Whatever you may attempt in the days ahead,
Bill, here’s wishing you luck and all the good
"Breaks of the Brier.”
Robert J. Worsing
Better known as R. J. comes to us VIA Pitts-
burgh, Pa. He is very active in all school ac-
tivities. Just to give you an example of this he
is on the paper staff, in the Quill & Scroll, Hi-Y,
and the Owls Club, plus many many more. He is
also very active in all the inter company sports
which has been played this year at the Brier,
which he proved by being on the All Star Basket-
ball Team. As to his rank he is a Sgt. in Co.
"A” and a good one too. In the future, in any-
thing he attempts we here at the Brier know that
he will do a fine job. The best of luck to you
R. J.

>__/he bell cracked July 8, 1835, while tolling
during the funeral solemnities of Chief Justice
John Marshall.
In 1837 the Wehster-Haynes debate had stirred
America. The first United States metal ships were
built. In 1843, the first telegraph line was strung
between Washington and Baltimore. The War
with Mexico came in 1846-48. Jenny Lind’s voice
thrilled thousands in the 1830’s. John Browns
Raid occurred in 1839.
And in Lewisburg the "old brick, academy" was
doing well. Ephriam Tripp succeeded Jacob N.
Cordoz as principal in 1838. The brave pioneers
who had ventured into "the forbidden lands" west
of the Alleghenies had budded well.

N I860, Abraham Lincoln was President of
the United States. Soon war clouds darkened
America. Lee, Grant, Jackson, Sherman—famous
names were added to the scroll of history. Alaska
was purchased from Russia in 1867. By 1876,
America was ready to celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, in the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia.
During the War Between the States, Lewisburg
was the scene of fighting. A skirmish line was
formed across what is now our campus. It was
"a time that tied men's pockets,” and temporarily
the school was closed. Both armies used the build-
ing as barracks and hospital. In 1865 school re-
opened under John Calvin Barr.

The Way It Went
Greenbrier took on Glass High, Class A Champs
of Virginia, and a first quarter avalanche hit the
Cadets. GMS came back strong, but too late.
Still smarting from that defeat, the boys played
hard but were no match for the Annapolis-bound
Bullis Prep outfit. Doing an about-face, GMS led
the Marshall Frosh 12-0 at half but lost in a
surprising turn-about second half.
After losing to the Va. Tech Frosh, Greenbrier
won three of five games from military school
opponents. SMA scored on a first period pass and
from there on out both teams were rain-and-
mud-locked.

CULVER vs. GREENBRIER (Homecoming Game)
In the annual Home Coming game Greenbrier’s team sparkled to give the old boys a
real thrill. The Fighting Cadets scored in all four quarters to defeat a hard fighting Culver
team (25-2).
The first march started on our own 24-yard line shortly after the opening kickoff.
Jim Nuckols took a hand in the offensive, passing to Buddy Douds to make the first score.
Our rivals were held scoreless the remainder of the quarter.
In the second quarter, Sabo’s long hard punt was juggled by several players and finally
bounded out of the end zone for an automatic safety, for Culver.
In the second quarter Nuckols took another hand in the ball game, passing to Bradley
who made a smooth catch for another Greenbrier touchdown.
In the third quarter Culver fumbled on the thirty-seven yard line and the ball was
recovered by Jim Woolsey. Dick Kiefer found a hole and jaunted for another Greenbrier
touchdown.
In the fourth quarter Culver fumbled again, and Greenbrier recovered on the seven-
teen-yard line. The quarterback handed off to Sam Stewart who found a hole open and
raced thirteen yards down the field to the Culver three yd. line. Kyzer hit the line for the
fourth score.
Sabo and Mueller, co-captains for Culver, were outstanding all afternoon. Sabo’s
passes to Mueller were a constant threat. The passes counted for most of Culver’s eight
first downs, compared to the seven for Greenbrier.

GREENBRIER vs. MARSHALL
Greenbrier won the first half but lost to the Marshall Freshmen 20-12 in a surpris-
ing turn-about under the lights on the Lewisburg High Field.
Bradley’s running and Nuckol’s passes, many to Bradley, sparked a drive from the GMS
39 to the Marshall 3, from where Coyne took it across. A bad pass was fumbled on the
attempted kick.
Leading 6-0 in both points and first downs, Greenbrier continued to pour on the
pressure. Marshall stopped one drive on the 20 but GMS recovered a fumble on the 40.
Nuckals passed to Douds on the 25 and then to Zimmerman, who made a nice catch
in the end zone. The kick was blocked.
Late in the second quarter, Marshall drove for four successive first downs. Two passes
carried to the 10. But Zimmerman and Bell, in turn, broke up passes as the half ended.
However, Campbell stole the ball after a handoff in the GMS backfield early in the
third quarter and scored. A clipping penalty put the ball on the 25, but Chamia tossed to
Swierczels for the score. Marshall recovered a fumble on the 25 and passed for another
score. Starting all over, with the score 12-12, a lateral went out of the end zone for an
automatic safety and Marshall led 14-12.
After a series of punts and fumbles, Greenbrier caught fire. You could sense the feel-
ing among the fans and players that this was it. Zimmerman cut through tacklers for a
long first down, the final man catching his foot to stop a sure score. Bradley reeled off a
first down to the 40. And then Zaglinti, who intercepted passes all evening, picked off an-
other aerial to dash through the startled Cadet team for the clincher score. Marshall won,
20-12.
GREENBRIER vs. MASSANUTTEN
The Fighting Cadets defeated the Massanutten eleven on the latter’s home soil by a
score of 19-0.
Joe Zimmerman started The Fighting Cadets rolling in the second quarter by scoring
the first T.D. on a short jaunt from deep in the opponents territory. Greg Bradley fol-
lowed up with a line buck in the fourth quarter and Earl Kyzer tossed to Bill Rogers for
the final score. Two more G.M.S. T.D.’s were called back because of a few penalties and
the game was slowed up a great deal by numerous fumblings. The M.M.A. attack was
stopped cold by the excellent defensive work of Ace lineman, Jim Woolsey.

GREENBRIER and F.U.M.A.
The Greenbrier eleven were defeated by F.U.M.A. in the latter’s second annual Home-
coming game by a score of 28-0.
Bob Riley sparked the Fork Union team by making two of the touchdowns on a
beautiful 32-yard jaunt and a 10-yard dash right through the middle of the line. Other
touchdowns for F.U.M.A. were made by George McDaniel and Jerry Tucker. All four
conversions were made by Bobby Sgro of Keiser, Pa.
Although Greenbrier didn’t score, the excellent passing of Jim Nuckols and the two
speedy halfbacks of the Fighting Cadets, Bradley and Zimmerman were a constant threat
during the whole game. The Greenbrier eleven gained more yards in running, more yards
in passing, and more first downs than the Blue Devils, but had a good many bad breaks
which was probably the main reason they ended up on the short end of the score.
Although Fork Union scored four touchdowns the Greenbrier line did a magnificent
job with the hard playing of Jim Pinkerton, Jim Woolsey, and Earl Workman.

Cadets Win Thriller In
Wash-Lee Opener
Playing heads-up basketball all the way, Greenbrier
showed surprising speed and stamina to defeat a good
Washington and Lee Freshman team 60-58 in the pre-
Christmas opener on the local court.
The visitors took an early lead, the score was tied
several times, and it was not until the final few minutes
that Greenbrier overcame the Mink threat to take a 6
point lead, which the visitors promptly cut to 2 points
just before the final whistle.
Buzz Wilkinson led the scoring with 20 points but
it was teamwork that won the game.

Coach Morgan had his speedy but comparatively small
team play some of that widely discussed "control basket-
ball” in Lexington and almost upset the favored VMI
Frosh. GMS trailed by only 5 points midway in the
fourth quarter.
However, the VMI players, big, fast, and aggressive,
scored another basket and GMS had to break out to
try to catch up, with VMI pulling ahead swiftly to win
36-20.
In this strange game quite different from the pre-
holiday affair here when VMI won 83-75, emphasis
was on passwork and careful shooting. VMI led only
7-6 at the quarter, scored 3 points to none for GMS in
the second period, led 16-8 the third quarter.

In a gym where there was not even "Standing Room
Only” the GMS varsity snapped the 7-game Little
Mountaineer wining streak 74-71, scoring 41 field goals
to 37. WVU shot 17 of 18 foul attempts and put on an
amazing exhibition of accuracy, Becker and Kupchop
hitting from all angles with uncanny skill, but late in
the second quarter and again in the fourth the GMS
team kept up such a terrific pace they could not be
stopped.
WVU had to rely mostly on their wonderful shooting
from outside the foul circle, and had Greenbrier used

defense and their cleverness at setting up plays and
working the ball through for fast layups finally turned
the tide. WVU led 26-23 at the quarter, GMS forged
ahead 44-42 as the half ended, WVU led 72-67 at the
quarter. In the third period GMS once had a 6-point

112-52 Near Record Win
Over MMA
Handing Massanutten the worst defeat ever adminis-
tered by a GMS quint and scoring the second highest
total in GMS history, the Green and White ran wild
to rack up a 112-52 score. Coach Morgan used fifteen
players against the Virginians, but it was a night when
everybody had eyes for the basket and goals were a
dime a dozen—cheap for these days of inflated prices.
The visitors displayed a well executed figure-8 offense
as the game opened, but could not work in for layups.
On the other hand, GMS drove for the basket better
than at any time since the opening in December. Fans
hoped this meant the team would hold favored WVU
under 100 points the next Monday.
Roughen, R., and Miller, with 14 and 10, led the
fighting visitors, who never gave up although they
were unable to cope with Greenbrier’s fancy and speedy
offensive play. Gaines and Bell looked plenty good for
the secondary varsity. Goals by Bell, Rogers, and McCue
raised the score from 95 to 101.
Incidentally, the record here was the 114-27 win over
W. Va. Business College by the 1940 varsity.

Bluefield College Wins
65-63 Thriller
Bluefield College took a close one from GMS Jan. 15
when Corky Sarver, who hit for 16 points altogether,
dribbled through to net an ’ impossible” basket to break
a 61-61 tie with one minute and 45 seconds to go. After
that Bob Sharp dropped one of two foul attempts to
make it 63-62, but Bo Arrington took a pass from
Charles Robertson and scored to give Bluefield a 65-62
lead, and Joe Mendez’s free toss didn’t help.
The visitors, with both the team and their cheer
leaders putting on a peppy display, romped to a 14-5
lead before Greenbrier, seemingly "cold” after a long
holiday layoff, really started to click. Battling uphill,
the Cadets cut the advantage to 6 points and trailed
35-29 at halftime. Jim Nuckols sank a fast one to put
GMS ahead 38-37 fairly early in the third quarter.
From there on out the score was tied six times and
GMS led six times. It was no game for a spectator
with a weak heart!

on the credit side of the ledger. Talcott was expected to have the best chance to snap the Jayvee streak, but several team
members graduated to the varsity and both Hinton and Union turned in 1-point wins.
The boys played good basketball and showed the result of conscientious coaching.

BASEBALL
A Look Into The Crystal Ball For Spring Practice
The Greenbrier baseball team is shaping up fine for what little out-
side practice they have been having. The weather has been against
them ever since they started. The pitching staff seems to be shaping
up the best. We have three of the old hurlers back. Bob Dickerson
saw lots of action last year, Fred Woitscheck is showing marvelous
improvement this year. Bob Burnham played a lot of good J. V. ball
last year. There are three new hurlers out who seem to be showing
us how to toss that old apple. They include Leo Sokolowski, Duane Dull,
and Jackson, J.
Around the hot spots of the infield are several old boys, Joe Mendez
at first, Greg Bradley at second, Harry Basham at short, Charlie Atwood
behind the plate. New boys around the infield are Jim Pinkerton, For-
rest Douds, Bill Trozzo, Frank Hamrick, Medley, Larry Reed, Cyril
Webb.
The boys around the outfield are James Klosterman, Lynn Simmons,
Frank McCue, Louie Spina, Dick Elder, Joe Reiser.
The managers are Bill Newland and Chris Walkup. The assistant
managers are Baxter Shaffer and Bob Bell.
Bradley seems slated to bat leadoff and Rogers to bat cleanup. Coach Hunt feels he has fair prospects and if the
hitters come through as expected we should be OK on the diamond this year.

GMS DEFEATS COVINGTON 8-5
Rainy weather and snow delayed the start of the season but on April 5 the team journeyed to
Virginia and defeated the Cougars 8-5. Covington always has a smart, heads-up baseball team.
Freddie Woitscheck fanned 4 and allowed 3 hits in four innings. "Cowboy” Dickerson took up
where he left off last season and struck out 10 men in the 4 1/3 innings he worked, allowed 3 hits.
Dickerson went in when Covington started to pound Woitscheck’s fast ball, with Greenbrier
leading 5-4. The visitors scored on a double steal in the Sth to knot the count. In the 9th, four
hits scored 3 runs for GMS and that was the ball game. Rogers led the hitters with 3 safeties.
McCue and Pinkerton had 2 hits each.
CADETS POUND HINTON TO WIN 16-4
Dull, Sokolowski, and Elder all saw mound duty as Greenbrier pounded Hinton hurlers for
11 telling safeties and 16 runs while holding the opposition to 10 scattered blows and 4 runs. Three
Hinton singles in the 7th matched Greenbrier’s 3 in the 5 th, but Greenbrier’s 5 hits and 8 runs in
the second showed early that the Cadets were out to win. Rogers contributed 2 hits.

WIN FIRST HOME GAME FROM BECKLEY, 6-4
With Greg Bradley and Larry Reed each getting 2 hits and Greenbrier making 7 in all, GMS
defeated Beckley High 6-4 in a 7-inning game to open the home season. Dickerson pitched 6 inn-
ings, allowed only 1 hit, fanned 8, walked 3 men in the ninth, and was relieved by Duane Dull,
who limited the visitors to one hit and one run. Dickerson also contributed a triple. Capt. Bradley
and Reed had 2 hits each.
BATTING LEADERS
At this stage of the season, ROGERS, with 12 At Bats, and DICKERSON, with 6, were leading the hitters with
healthy .500 averages. PINKERTON and McCue. each 12 AB’s, were batting .428. BRADLEY, with 12 AB’s, and Reiser
and WOITSCHECK, 3 AB’s each, were hitting .333.
Hamrick, with only 1 At Bat, had hit safely for a perfect average.
"REPEAT PERFORMANCE" BY 8-2 OVER COVINGTON
After the Bluefield College game was rained out, and another Beckley game was canceled,
GMS entertained the Covington Cougars here April 19 and won 8-2. GMS made 10 hits, Rogers
garnering 3. Meanwhile, Woitscheck held Covington to 7 safeties.
Greenbrier teed off on McCauley for 2 hits and 2 runs in the second, 2 hits and 3 runs in the
3rd. The visitors earned a run in the 3rd and another in the 4th. Woitscheck fanned 8 Cougars.
HINTON SHUT OUT 7-0
Dickerson struck out nine men as Greenbrier defeated Hinton here 7-0. Joe Mendez led local
hitters with two singles. Greenbrier out Hinton 6-3 in the 7-inning game. Singles by McCue, Rogers,
Reed, and Mendez in the 3rd inning game GMS 4 fat runs.
THE "MINKS” WIN HERE, 7-5
Schlossman fanned 6 men and allowed 9 hits, Dickerson struck out 11 and allowed 8 hits,
and each team made 5 errors, but the GMS misplays came at crucial times and the Washington
and Lee Freshmen earned a victory, 7-5, in an interesting ball game here April 25.
Capt. Bradley had 2 hits and 3 runs, while Rogers also contributed 2 safeties. A fast double
play ended a new W. & L. threat in the 9th. Then Bradley hammered a long line fly to left field
which Mitchell took with a thrilling one-handed stab.

when Williams doubled and Taylor and Mitchell singled. The visitors added 3 more in the 3rd
on 3 singles and 2 errors.
THE "MINKS” LOSE 12-3!
In Lexington April 28 Schlossman tried to repeat his victory, but he was hammered from the
box as Greenbrier hitters found the range. In the 2nd, Rogers was safe on an error and Mendez
singled him home. In the 3rd, Dull walked, Bradley singled, McCue singled to fill the sacks, and
Buddy Douds cleaned them with a triple. Rogers tripled in the 6th. Reed doubled in the 9th.
Greenbrier’s 9 hits totaled 18 bases.
Schlossman hit a triple for W. & L. in the 7th. The 5 W. & L. hits were made by five dif-

'Everybody Out For Pictures This Afternoon—And Editors:
GET IN THAT COPY!”
The Brier Patch is a member of United High School Press, Quill and Scroll, and the South-
ern Interscholastic Press Association. Last year’s book, edited by James Woodward, won the First
Place Plaque in the Private Schools group at SIPA. Wilson Lafferty and Bob Guyer received the
plaque from Prof. O. W. Riegel, Director of the Lee Journalism Foundation at Washington and
Lee University, at the final convention banquet Saturday evening, April 28.
James Woodward presented it to Col. J. M. Moore, Superintendent, in Assembly the following
Tuesday morning. The plaque, bearing a beautiful medallion of the heads of Washington and
Lee, is now among others won by our publications on display in the trophy case.
The staff gives special thanks this year to all who helped with this book, including our pho-
tographers, engravers, and printers. A handshake to Jim Price and Walter Clark, of Jarrett Print-
ing, "Bernie” of Zamsky Studios, Mr. Estep of Lewisburg, and Leonard Glover of Lynchburg En-
graving. Our warm thanks to Edward R. Murrow, ace War Correspondent and News Analyst.

The Honor Court has done a splendid job upholding the tenets of the Honor
System. Membership on this court is a grave responsibility, and the maintenance
of the system here depends not only on these men but the cooperation of the entire
corps and faculty.
Greenbrier is justly proud of her Honor System.
There are no regular officers of the Honor Court. The Cadet Major serves
as presiding officer. Faculty advisers and company representatives may attend trials.

ceremonies for the crowning of Queen Sara Bach.
This year the club sponsored six dances, including the Mystery Hop at Hallowe’en, Christmas

Members of our Military-Academic Honor Club hold one of the highest distinctions a Cadet
can earn. Membership must be retained from year to year—a new club is named following the
Second Term Examinations.
An OWL must be acceptable to the Military Department, have more merits than demerits,
pass all classwork, average at least 87% (actually, they are well up in the 90’s) and rank among
the top four men in the class. Where less than four men qualify, vacancies may be filled by eligible
men from other classes, named by the Superintendent on the basis of records.
Owls wear a patch on the blouse consisting of a gold shield with a blue owl’s head.

occasionally drip gravy on your dress uniform, or crash dishes on the floor by your side? What
if they are accused of eating the best of the chicken? What if they do have to walk the beat for
making too much noise in the dining hall? They have experiences we are sure they will never
forget—and neither will we!
Robinson runs things, Worsing helps, so do Reiser, Stephenson, and Dickerson. The others
were "Freshmen Waiters” this year.

which this club does its dirty work.
"Smokey Joe” Gaines and "Strawberry” Pinkerton are holding their weapons at attention.
"Hot Shot” Bowen and "Lazy Bones” Gilbert are not presidents and are not holding brooms,
so they are hereby named First Assistant General Managers.

[/I/ orld War II—Pearl Harbor—America has
to go to war again—and over 1500 former Green-
brier cadets served with the Armed Forces. On
June 6, 1944, the Liberty Bell rings again to signal
the great European landing. The Freedom Train—
the Freedom Scroll — Roosevelt. Eisenhower,
Wainwright—the United Nations—Korea! And
again Greenbrier alumni are serving their country
in the far places.
Col. H. B. Moore came to Greenbrier in 1906.
Greenbrier Presbyterial Military School celebrated
its 100th birthday in 1812. Col. J. Af. Moore and
Col. D. T. Moore came to the modern Greenbrier
Military School, rebuilt in 1925. And today the
school proudly serves the youth of the nation.

THE FIGHTING CADETS
Homer A. Holt (’15), seated between Col. J. M. Moore and Frank Field (’21), enjoys food and fellow-
ship at the Homecoming Banquet. Frank is the new National President.
Everything including the weather cooperated to entertain former Cadets back for Home-
coming October 14.
Col. J. M. Moore extended official greetings from the school to alumni in the Greenbrier
Hotel’s beautiful Casino dining room. He introduced the speaker, the Hon. Homer A. ("Rocky”)
Holt (’15), saying we were receiving him not as a former Governor of West Virginia, not as an
outstanding attorney who had made a brilliant record before the United States Supreme Court, not
as an educator and member of the board of a famous university (Washington and Lee), but sim-
ply as one of our own, a former Greenbrier Cadet.
"Rocky” made the "perfect” speech. Incidentally, he paid high tribute to the late Mrs.
Ida E. ("Mother”) Moore.
FIELD CHOSEN
The Committee on Nominations included Carl Gilchrist, Chairman (Charleston), Bigg Hoag
(Pittsburgh), and Jim Rownd (Columbus).
On their recommendation, there being no nominations from the floor, Frank Field, (’21),
Charleston insurance executive, was named National President for 1951-52. An enthusiastic
Greenbrier follower, the new president will make a splendid leader.

ACTIVITY FOR ALL AT HOMECOMING
A short snappy program following the meal kept the banquet moving along without wasted time. Frank Field, who
had consented to serve as toastmaster in the absence of the president, called on Lt. Col. J. W. Benjamin, Alumni Secre-
tary, who offered a 3-minute report on activities and asked the Nominating Committee to complete its work. Maj. R. W.
Keene, Alumni Organization Executive, broke all records by talking only 45 seconds. Maj. Thomas C. McGuire (’35)
reported briefly on his work as PMS&T.
Following the formal banquet, the group enjoyed dancing and visiting each other at the Greenbrier.

for this enjoyable affair.
The banquet climaxed a full day of entertainment for the visitors. Many drove to Mathews Field on Friday evening
for the bonfire and informal pep rally. Registration continued in the Alumni Room on Saturday morning with Miss
Kate Moore as hostess, and faculty wives and other ladies of the staff assisting. At 10:30 the Corps paraded for the
alumni. Co. A won, much to the delight of visiting "old boys” from that outfit.
The Varsity-Cui ver and Jayvee-Beckley football games provided sports thrills.

SIX JOE CADETS

"Joe Cadet” is a friendly boy who is highly popular with his fellows. He has a fine grasp
of that intangible known as "School Spirit.” He also has high company spirit. He is a morale
builder, and keeps up the spirits of his company mates.
Joe did not know he was being selected as a typical Cadet. A secret ballot was taken. In one
or two cases, the results were extremely close. That is fine. It proves we really have many "Joe
Cadets” in the Corps.
If you should get all six of these Cadets together you would probably end up with one of the
biggest bull sessions in the history of GMS. They are active on publications, in sports, and in other
activities. They are rabid supporters of all their company athletic teams. And at least three of
them—you guess!—are Don Juans, Wolves, Men About the College, call it what you will.
All in all, we think these six Joe Cadets represent a pretty good cross section of the Corps.

The flying Cadets are composed of the local flying talent of G.M.S. These
air-minded lads are the ones who have been interested in aviation enough to more or
less ween themselves away from the elementary stages of flying, such as building
models etc., and have really put their shoulder to the wheel and gone into aviation
tooth and toe nail.
The sole purpose of the flying Cadets is to better the aviation enthusiasts by
study and experience under the older members of the club. However the organiza-
tion is not all work and no play. For pleasure the club has gone on planned break-
fast flights in the wee hours of the morning to some other large commercial airport.
Also the boys have thrown a few banquets and next year have plans to throw a
dance or two to raise money for free flying for the members and to pay for other
necessities of the club. All in all these lads have had quite a time for themselves
both in the air and on the ground.

BASEBALL—(Continued from page 95)
With Dickerson pitching no-hit ball for six frames, and Rogers leading local batters with 2 doubles and a single in three
tries, GMS easily defeated Augusta M. A. here 10-2. GMS scored 3 in the second and 5 in a fat fourth frame. For AMA,
Cialini, catcher, was outstanding. In the 7th Stafford walked, Parker and Beaver singled. "Cowboy” fanned three men
in the 7th. GMS made 10 hits.
In Virginia, AMA turned the tables with a 10-inning 4-3 win. Dull allowed 3 hits and 3 runs in the first but pitched
a splendid game, losing in the 10th when Parker was safe on an error, with two away, and scored on a wild pitch
on Cialini’s dribbler. Each team made 7 hits. Dull struck out five.
In Staunton, Va., May 8, a double, three singles, and Weisinger’s triple gave Staunton M. A. 4 runs in the 5th. Reed,
who singled, scored Greenbrier’s run in the second. Five hits earned SMA 3 more runs in the 7th. Dickerson fanned 13
men, allowed 10 hits. GMS made only 5 safeties off Creazzo.
On May 11, after rain delayed the game in the first inning, Fork Union put together a triple, two singles, and a double
to take a 4-0 lead in the second inning. In the GMS fourth, Douds walked, stole second, and scored on Reed’s double.
In the FUMA fifth, Saunders walked, Griffin fanned, Kite singled, Capuano flied out to center, Wickert singled, and again
the rains came. FUMA made 5 hits and 4 runs off Dull in the abbreviated contest, GMS had 3 hits and 2 runs.
The schedule calls for Staunton M. A. here the 17th and Bluefield College away the 18th.

WORSING’S Revised Qreen Hook
(Not-too-serious suggestions about your life at Greenbrier)
When first arriving at school, make as many uncomplimentary remarks as possible, thus giving your parents a low
opinion of the place. This may get you out of this terrible mess. But if your parents insist that you go to school, don’t
grin and bear it like a man, cry, plead insanity, threaten to run away from home, go on a starvation diet (this is not too
effective though). If none of these work and you still have to go, there is not much chance for you. Once you are
bound and shackled and put in a box marked "Greenbrier,” you're done.
If you really have to go, you d better start thinking about what you should wear. Take only 2 or 3 white shirts, so
that you wear one each week; the white shirt will probably be crummy dirty after the first day, by wearing only one
white shirt a week you antagonize your company commander into a rage. (This is a very good method on how not to
get rank.) If your shoes are just new and bother your feet, there is one way to cure that: soak them in rifle cleaner and
cosmoline for two days. This not only takes the stiffness out of them, but takes away the terrible gloss. A good shoe
shine is one of the worst things a Cadet can be plagued with. A shoe shine is a most dangerous thing. If it shines
too much it will reflect sun in your eyes and cause blindness. Now about the brass shine. When shinning your
brass make sure you get jewelers rouge on your collar, much to the agony of the company commander, but what is
more important the red and gray blend nicely.
Classes, the fright of every student; when first going into the class room, make nice remarks, such as: "It looks
like they stole that desk from Caesar or This room looks like a reconverted sewer." These fine remarks always
please the teacher and you are liable to find yourself the teacher's pet.
When finally you get down to your studies try not to pay attention; look out the window, or nonchalantly pull the
chair out from beneath the fellow student. These all tend to make an impression on the teacher.
The Beat. If you ever happen by some lucky chance to get on the beat, try your best to liven the day by making wise
cracks about the O.D. such as: If your brains were made of dynamite you wouldn’t have enough to blow your nose,”
and when the O.D. calls your name, don’t answer, just chuckle under your breath. This will cause quite a commotion
and you will see orderlies running in all directions. If you happen to skip the beat, don’t be afraid. The bloodhounds
they use aren’t man-eaters. When they finally catch you, don’t give up. Put up a fight, spit at the orderlies, hold off the
O.D. with a club, and kick the dogs, and when you are at last subdued and the chains are on your hands, don’t give in;
make remarks such as: "These chains are so old that the castle fell down before they got them out.”
Town Leave: When going downtown try to maintain a slovenly appearance and a lazy attitude; this never fails
to make you feel right at home, and the town people will love you all the more.
When walking down the street, don’t walk in a single file; always walk 4 abreast and if possible 15 or 16. This
helps to tie up traffic, and disgusts the drivers. If you see a pedestrian coming, don't step to the side; try to walk him
into the street and maybe by some chance he will be hit by a vehicle. If a town boy walks by don’t fail to elbow him in
the side. A well placed elbow has been known to hurt and wound the enemy. Another sport is to play tag and run into a
small record store, when the person who owns it enters, give him a good humored shove into a pile of expensive class-
ical. However this system is liable to break you.
When you see an officer downtown and he salutes you, never look back or salute; just walk by, hands in your
pocket and a skeptical expression on your face. A remark such as: "Do I know you, bud?” will do.
Upon arriving at a restaurant make a noisy entrance and good naturedly shove the Cadet next to you into a person
who is eating. A person always looks nice when covered with soup. When talking, never speak in a quiet tone, always
try to be loud, this tells the waitresses you are happy.
If by some quirk of fate you happen to get waited on, joke with the waitress. Ask her how much all her meals cost
and then at the end of the list order a glass of water; or, just as the food is served, get up and depart.
Mess Hall: If by chance the meat comes down your way, take it all, don’t leave any for the next fellow, just calmly
turn and say, "Better luck tomorrow." If the table head should happen to say something just reply such as, "Mind your
own business Junior.”
When trying to get more food from the waiter, always irk him on with witty sayings, such as, "What’s the matter
buddy, your feet on strike?”
When stacking the dishes be sure to break a few, because the waiter always has to clean them up and pay for them.
Study Hall: Study Hall is a time of finishing off your last pack of cigarettes or slinging the bull with your roommate.
Remember, never study, it is one of the most useless things you can do. Write letters, or sneak next door and scare
the "H” out of the person who rooms next to you. If by some chance you get caught in another person’s room, don’t just
stand there and smile; make a running charge at the O.C. with your head down. If you are lucky you will knock him
down and you will get away without being recognized. If you do happen to knock the O.C. down, take advantage
of your position. Quickly bind and gag him, then usher him to your room and tie him to a bed rail. Leave him there
till the next morning. Let the inspecting officer find the O. C. unconscious, tied to the bed. Nothing like a little innocent
fun. (Continued on page 147)

Reporting: When reporting to the military office you will
address: "Make way to the side, make way to the rear, make
way everybody for So and So's here.” Then you proceed to
go up to the desk and slap the colonel on the back and ask
him how he is. Don’t forget to sit on his lap. This makes the
feelings between you and the colonel more intimate. A cigar-
ette may be smoked while entering, it gives the office more
of the pool room atmosphere you are probably used to.
Free Weekend and Christmas: When first attempting to
get out it is always a good bit of fun to bribe the O. D. to
make an announcement that leave won’t start till 3 o’clock in
the afternoon. This always results in the desired effect of boos
and groans.
If you should happen to find a boy who is going to leave
on a 12.T5 train and has to hurry you can have a great time
by hiding his clothes and application.
If you should happen not to leave why not dress your-
self as a member of the guard detail, and as the boys come by
to inspect send them back for insufficient shoe shine. This way
you can maybe make some sucker miss his train, which of
course, is the point.
If by some chance a boy is driving home you can slow
him down by removing the spark plugs or good naturedly plac-
ing a board full of tacks under the tires.
Everybody should keep a copy of these rules of procedure
with him at all times. You will find them most helpful when
you need advice. They should make your stay at Greenbrier
a brief one.
