completed the destruction
of early settlements in
the Greenbrier Vai ley.
y^REENBRiER county was formed in 1777, carved
from Botetourt and Montgomery and embracing
a territory of what is now in whole or part of the follow-
ing counties: in Virginia, Allegheny, Bath; in West Vir-
ginia, Braxton, Calhoun, Clay, Fayette, Gilmer, Jackson,
Kanawha, Mason, Monroe, Nicholas, Pocahontas, Put-
nam, Roane, Summers, Webster, Wirt, and Wood.
Col. John Stuart, "The Father of Greenbrier County,”
a man of intelligence and determination, was the leading
spirit in the formation of the county.
Lewisburg, third oldest town in the state, dates back
to 1782. It was called "The Savannah,” then "Fort
Savannah,” then "Camp Union,” and finally "Lewis-
burg,” in honor of Gen. Andrew Lewis, who led his
troops of "West Augusta” from here to defeat the In-
dians under famous Chief Cornstalk at the Battle of Pt.
Pleasant.
Forth Savannah was erected here in 1755. This ter-
ritory may well be called "The Western Cradle of In-
dependence.”
The Greenbrier Valley was a favorite hunt-
ing ground of the Indians. The Shawnees
claimed the territory, at one time "rented”
hunting rights to other tribles. All was peace-
ful and serene in the mountains.

Foreword ...
(q^/gain The Brier Patch is presented to the Corps of
<-/ X Cadets. We have tried honestly to give a true
picture of Life at The Brier for the academic year 1951-
52. We have used pictures and text to remind you of
the people who lived and worked and played at Green-
brier, of the things they did and the results achieved in
the classroom, on the drill field, in athletics, in organi-
zations, and during leisure hours devoted to games, girls,
and gab.
Like those editors and staff who have preceded us, we
hope we have succeeded. If we do as well this year as
others have done in the past we shall be happy.
In the years ahead, may you find happiness and suc-
cess no matter where you go. And, whenever we can,
let us meet again at The Brier.
The Red Men vigorously resented settlements in the Greenbrier
section, massacred the newcomers. Life on ''the western waters”
was beset with dangers and all the trials of strife with both Nature
and Indians.

velopment— Major William
Schnier.

□Z^REENBRIER COUNTY today is a thriving area, rich
—VJ' in blue grass, famous as a farming and cattle rais-
ing section. In the western end of the county, fine coal
is produced in large quantities. The people of Green-
brier like their ancestors, are cultured, educated men and
women found in the forefront of those things which
they deem of best interest to the region, the state, and
the nation.
A modern high school, Greenbrier College for
Women, and Greenbrier Military School combine to
make Lewisburg "A Town of Schools.” Both the col-
lege and the military school trace their origin to the
famous "old Lewisburg Academy” founded by Dr. John
L. McElhenney, for sixty-two years pastor of Old Stone
Presbyterian Church.
Man conquered the wilderness, went on to greater achievement.
Today, in Lewisburg, historic buildings mark the events of another
era. The Midland Trail, east to west, and the Buffalo Trail, north
to south, cross in the center of town. The Great Greenbrier Valley
is a region of good homes, good farms, good schools—and good
people.

Carl "Duke” Ridgley, initimate friend of everybody in the Sports World (and out), made
the sports pages of the Huntington Herald-Dispatch ''big time” years ago. His column "Diamond
Dust" is probably rhe most widely read in the state. Mr. Ridgley has always been a leader in
such worth-while causes as the "March of Dimes" and other movements of civic value. He loves
young people, and will always "go all out to give a youngster a break.” We are proud to salute
this 100% American Sportsman.

This little stone building, the first county clerk’s office, still
stands on the grounds of historic Stuart Manor, built in 1789, near
Lewisburg. Here Col. John Stuart, "The Father of Greenbrier County,”
kept official records.
early as 1742 John Peter
Salley, with Charles St. Clair,
John Howard, and his son, Josiah
Howard, made a trip from their
home at the base of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in Augusta County, Va.,
to the Ohio River. Their route led
them through Greenbrier Valley and
it is probable they were the first white
men to see the creek which runs be-
side U. S. 60 near Caldwell and
White Sulphur, and gave it the name
Howard’s Creek in honor of the two
Howards in the party.
There were settlements on An-
thony’s Creek in northeastern Green-
brier County at least as early as 1750.
By 1775, enough settlements had
been made in Greenbrier to justify
the Colonial Government of Virginia
in building Fort Savanah in the "Big
Levels.”
Two of the boldest massacres committed by Indians were led by Chief Cornstalk, of the
Shawnees, who led a band of some 60 tribesmen into the county in 1763- They killed the settlers at
Muddy Creek on June 26. The next day they killed all but one of the men, Conrod Yolkum, at the
Clendenin settlement near w'hat is now Lewisburg. A small party then went to Carr’s Creek, Rock-
bridge County, Va., on what was the last Indian raid east of the Alleghenies.

Tradition has it the Old Lewisburg Academy was founded in 1810, but there is no record of
the exact date. It is certain that Dr. John McElhenney started his school by 1812, for a deed on
record in the clerk’s office, from John McClanahan to John Wait, reads in pan: . . . "and assigns
two acres of land lying and being in the county of Greenbrier, adjoining the lot on which the Lewis-
burg Academy is erected, and bounded as follows . . .”
This was the first brick building erected in Lewisburg. Dr. McElhenney conducted the school
alone for some time and then chose seven assistants before his time expired.
page twelve
The old academy building fronted east, and stood in the edge of a walnut grove. A little log
cabin faced the site of the academy. A little brick cabin also stood about fifteen steps north. The
Old Stone Church cornered the graveyard just south of the site.
Shortly after 1895, when the "Trustees of the Academy” made a transfer to a joint stock com-
pany known as the "Lewisburg Female Institute,” the boys’ branch was re-established on the grounds
of the old Greenbrier Agricultural Society, "with its beautiful grove of oaks, on the eastern out-
skirts of town.”
Gen. Robert E. Lee’s famous war horse, Traveler, was exhibited as a colt at the fair, and here
the present Greenbrier Military School still stands to serve the youth of the nation.
Maj. J. M. Lee was principal of the boys’ school, and Lee Military Academy was doing well
when the major resigned to move elsewhere and Samuel R. Houston became principal. For a while
in the 1890’s the school was known as Greenbrier Military Academy.
Mr. Houston eliminated the mi'itary work. After four years Dr. Matthew Lyle Lacy, "the
most distinguished member of the Greenbrier Presbytery,” was instrumental in having the school
bought by business men of Lewisburg and turned over to the Presbytery. Dr. Lacy became prin-
cipal and the school was known as Greenbrier Presbyterial School.
In 1906, Col. Houston B. Moore was called to succeed Dr. Lacy. He established military
training and the school was known as Greenbrier Presbyterial Military School. Many living alumni
recall GPMS.
Col. D. T. Moore and Col. J. M. Moore joined their brother at Greenbrier and in 1920 they
took over the school as a private institution.
Greenbrier Military School has had students from many states and foreign countries. The school
is a member of the Virginia Prepara-
tory Schools Association, the North
Central Educational Association, and
the Association of Military Col-
leges and Schools of the United
States.
Thousands of former Greenbrier
cadets have served and are serving
with the armed forces of their coun-
try, contributing to her progress in
posit ons of responsibility both in
and out of the service, and continu-
ing to mold their lives on the basic
moral code emphasized here.
The Fighting Cadets have every
right to be proud of their heritage,
hopeful and confident of their fu-
ture.
Silver-tongued orators have participated in famous trials in the
Greenbrier County Court House, built in 1837. The tuo wings are
of later origin, but the central part of this building is the original.

TRIBUTE TO MEN OF THE MOUNTAINS
"Leave me but a banner to plant upon the mountains
of Augusta, and I will rally around me the men who will
lift our bleeding country from the dust, and set her
free ”—Geoge Washington.
(Note: "Augusta” meant "West Augusta,” now
Greenbrier County.)
The old records state that 1868 was "A time that tied men’s pockets—no school that
year.” The entire period of The War Between the States was a difficult one for the school.
Greenbrier County was predominantly Confederate in sympathies, sent many men to fight
under "Marse Lee.” Today the Confederate Monument stands in a neat little park beside
the Greenbrier County Library and Museum, a red brick building formerly used as the
library of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. This is the oldest brick building
standing today west of the Alleghenies.
CLENDENIN MASSACRE
Near this marker occurred the massacre of Archibald
Clendenin and other settlers in 1763 by the Shawnee
Indians, led by Cornstalk.
FRANFORD PERMANENT SETTLERS

Bob arrived here at the beginning of this year from Ashland, Ken-
tucky. His favorite sport is racing but he never beats anyone in that
old Buick of his. For some reason he is fond of the 'Blacksmith

the rifle team. The Band is lucky to have Bob to toot the trumpet
for them.

From Fairmont, West Virginia, comes this friendly, soft spoken

the intra-mural wrestling tournament. Tries hard to keep his brother

Another one of the capital city lads. "Jack” is not slow to admit
that he is from Charleston. "Jack” seems to do very well at Green-

Lt. Kindler, if you please. Jim is a favorite son of Columbus, Ohio,
he surely is proud of that fair city. Four years in "B” Company has
made him a very important part of that organization, in fact, he
doesn’t see how they could get along without him. Jim takes part in

From a small town in Illinois (Chicago) comes one of the best

"Anonymous”. He played Junior Varsity football along with his
other school activities which are many in number. Blends his voice
with a few of his friends to make a very fine quartet. Another of our

as he has while we have known him.

His alias is "Luke” and he has a phobia for walking the beat. Only

One of the proudest possessions of Joe is his pair of cross guns.
The Band is very grateful to the city of Charleston for lending them
Joe for the past three years. Although he says he suffers from a
disease called "inferiority complex", this is doubtful because he is a
good athlete and has proved his ability by participation in many intra-
mural sports as well as Varsity baseball. Joe is also known to all as
the very capable headwaiter.

hard work and interest in his subjects to put him high up in class

The Year at the ’Brier ----------byBiiiRogm
To Greenbrier we came from near and far;
Train, plane and bus brought us, and some came by car,
All looking forward to a year at the "Brier”,
Determined to work and make this year’s grades higher.
At first we were homesick and awed at new trends;
But that passed away as we met our new friends.
None seemed to know right face from about
But all answered quickly to the officer’s shout.
Studies and sports took most of our time,
Sunday night set aside to drop parents a line.
Our first blind date dance was quite an affair;
Many romances had their beginnings there.
The football games we will never forget—
We learned why each boy was called "Fighting Cadet”.
Everyone looked forward to Homecoming Day.
We saw our old friends; why couldn’t they stay?
Exams, inspections, parades and drill, too,
Became part of our lives as the days swiftly flew.
Even the beat gained some attention,
We all tried our best to avoid this detention.
In basketball season the team took the floor,
They had winning ways and ran up the score.
In December we left for our Christmas vacation,
Came back and told stories with exaggeration.
The resolutions we made were quite a few,
Determined to do better in the year ’52.
The weather got warmer, the sky turned to blue,
Baseball and track soon came into view.
With baners and sprinters all over the field,
Determined athletes their talents did yield.
Our intramural program was ably run
With much competition to add to the fun.
The end was in sight, the year closing fast;
It didn’t seem right that this year was near past.
The final ball was truly a thrill
To which every Jack escorted his Jill.
We all saw the Queen in her beautiful gown
Her cadet so proud to escort her around.
Each cadet there, and there were a lot,
Thought his girl queen, whether chosen or not.
Competitive drills, the parade in dress whites—
Spectators were thrilled by these fabulous sights.
Then on the last day, graduation was here,
Many were the handshakes and many the tear.
Many were the friends we made from the start,
Though gone, they’re remembered in everyone’s heart.

CELEBRATION
Once again Maj. Wm. Schnier took the Spanish-American cadets to
the Methodist Church to participate in the International Day Celebration
sponsored locally by the Greenbrier County Farm Women's Clubs. The
boys also gave us a splendid program in assembly.
Maj. Schnier and his "troupe of entertainers” annually offer the "Good
Neighbor” program, and it never fails to make a big hit with the audience.

Song of the Juniors
Some of us came from far away,
Some of us came from near,
But all of us gathered at The Brier
Were mighty glad we’re here.
Some of us came in fust last fall,
Ready for Junior year,
But new or old, abashed or bold,
We’re mighty glad we're here!
Some of us went thru the Junior School,
Some through the Freshman year,
Some of us came as Sophomores—
We’re mighty glad we’re here.
You hear?
Next year as Seniors well return
Knowing we have no peer,
This is our wish as out we go—
We hope we will all be here—
WE HOPE WE WILL ALL BE HERE.

COVINGTON DOWNS GREENBRIER 12 TO 6
Covington grabbed a 6-0 lead in the first half and then went on to beat the
cadets 12 to 6.
The strong line of the cadets held the Covington team to no yardage on the
ground, but the Virginians’ fine passing attack more than made up for this.
Greenbrier scored its only touchdown in the second quarter of play when Kyzer
ran ten yards to pay dirt. This tied the score. Then, in the third quater, Covington
passed and scored again to wrap up the win. There was no scoring in the last quarter.
FORK UNION DOWNS CADETS IN HOMECOMING
GAME 34 TO 6
Playing heads up ball, the cadets trailed a heavily favored Fork Union team only
13 to 6 at half time. The strong two platoons of F. U. M. A. proved too much for
the cadets in the second half and F. U. M. A. scored three more TD’s.
Earl Kyzer’s thrilling eighty-five-yard kickoff return was the only score for Green-
brier. With good blocking Kyzer raced eighty-five yards to pay dirt with not a
hand touching him.

FIGHTING CADETS LOSE TO HILLTOPPERS 33-0
To make their homecoming day complete, the hilltoppers beat the G. M. S.
Cadets 33-0.
Playing hard, the cadets just couldn’t stand the steady hammering of the powerful
line. Scoring on the first play from scrimmage, the Hilltoppers kept on rolling
along.
Greenbrier had a few nice runs, but couldn’t hit pay dirt. Bernie Morgan high-
lighted the cadet attack with a thrilling sixty-nine-yard run. This was the closest
that the locals came to scoring.

AUGUSTA DOWNS G. M. S. 28-0
Augusta, our rivals from Virginia, proved too much for G. M. S. and pounded
out a 28-0 win.
Getting three touchdowns in the first half and one in the second, Augusta then
took the defense and held G. M. S. scoreless.
Greenbrier broke away for many long runs, but couldn’t get to the promised
land. Bill Rogers’ punting proved a big factor in the Greenbrier defense, and was
the feature of the game for G. M. S.

THE JAYVEES
JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL
Capt. Hunt travelled with his Junior Varsity team to Richwood, where
they played their first game of the season and lost to a powerful Rich-
wood team 38 to 0. The Colonels then played a very hard game here
at Mathews Field and lost to Hillsboro 14 to 13. Princeton was next on
the list for the J.V.'s. Playing hard and heads-up, the Colonels lost
another one 18 to 14. With the ball on the one-yard line, the time ran
out and took the victory away. Reversing the score from the preceding
game the Colonels finally beat the Beckley Jayvees 18 to 14. In the final
game the "Cadets” ran wild. They outplayed a strong Hinton team to
win by the score of 38 to 6.

CAPTAIN FOOTBALL
The Captains under the coaching of Capt. Staten lost their opener
against Covington J.V.’s 12 to 0. The Captains then traveled to Hinton
where they lost again to the J.V.’s of Hinton 20 to 0. Playing their third
game, the Captains finally came through with one to beat the Richwood
J.V.’s 13 to 0. Playing a hard game, the Captains were outlasted by a
good Princeton J.V. eleven 20 o 13. Playing the last game of the sea-
son, the Captains again lost to Covington J.V.’s 17 to 0. Not having a
very successful record, the spirit of the Captains was never down. They
fought hard and gave the opposition a rough time.

THE MIDGETS
♦
MIDGET FOOTBALL
Our little "Mighty Midgets" opened their football season against
a good and much larger football team. Lewisburg beat the "midgets” by
a score of 21 to 0. Capt. Moore then took his team to Hillsboro where
they lost another to tbe Hillbillies. The Midgets lost their most im-
portant game of the year when they lost to Lewisburg on Homecoming,
the final score of that was 21 to 0. Playing their best game of the season,
the Midgets finally won one from Hillsboro 14 to 7. Determined to
stay in the victory column, the Midgets then beat the boys from White
Sulphur 32 to 0. Playing a rough Santa Claus Bowl-bound Covington
team, the Midgets couldn’t make the grade against the Cougars and
dropped their final game of the year 14 to 0. The turn came when the
Midgets missed an early touchdown by mere inches following a long down-
field drive.

HIGH-
LIGHTS
of thcj
Season^
CADETS OPEN SEASON BY BEATING CONCORD TRAINING
Playing heads up basketball all the way, Greenbrier showed surprising speed and ball handling
to defeat a good Concord Training team 65-47. Morgan hit for fourteen points for G.M.S., while
Pennington hit for fifteen for the losers.
Greenbrier opened with a fast first quarter, scoring 20 points to Ccncord’s 3- The Cadets were
never behind from that point on.
V. M. I. WINS THRILLER FROM CADETS
V.M.I. came from behind to beat the cadets in a thriller 74-71. Both teams played fast and
hard. Bernie Morgan was high scorer for the Cadets with 21 points while Kinslow was high for the
V.M.I. team with 19.
This was the first loss that Greenbrier had suffered in three starts. The Cadets, with their lack
of height, had almost no control of the banking boards. The V.M.I. team had good ball handling
and accurate shooting, plus the advantage of their home floor. It was a thriller all the way.
CAGERS WIN FROM AUGUSTA MILITARY ACADEMY
Playing their last game on a three-day road trip, the Cadets, weary and tired, out-played Augusta
to obtain a 71-59 victory. Getting off to a fine start in the first quarter, the Cadets kept a comfort-
able lead throughout the game.
Fred Woitscheck was high scorer for the winners with seventeen. Dozle scored twenty-one for
the losers. Bernie Morgan started rhe Cadets to a good lead when he scored five quick points in the
first minute of play.

EARLY SEASON GAMES
COUGARS 5, G.M.S. 3
In Covington, Va., April 3, the Cougars mauled
G.M.S. 5-3. G.M.S. outhit the winners 8-7. Douds
and Woitscheck each connected safely twice. It was a
typical opener, after only two days outdoor practice,
and Covington hit opportunely. Woitscheck fanned 4,
walked 3.
G.M.S. TAKES TWO FROM BOYS’ HOME
Greenbrier beat Boys’ Home of Covington here April
7 by a 22-3 count and there April 14 by a 11-1 score.
Trozzo, Roth and Dull took turns pitching the first
game, held the visitors to 3 hits, Woitscheck, Rogers,
and Wilson each hit 3 for 4.
In the second game, Dull fanned 7, walked 1, allowed
5 scattered hits, while his mates banged out 9 safeties.
Wiley hit 3 for 5, including a double and triple.
G.M.S. BEATS HINTON 17-2
Dull and Gene Beard combined to limit Hinton High
to 4 hits as G.M.S. won a slugfest on Mathews Field,
April 10. Douds hit 2 for 4. So did Reiser, including
a double. Hawkins slugged 4 for 5, including a three-
bagger.
G.M.S. TAKES COUGARS 8-1
On April 21, G.M.S. avenged an earlier defeat by
trouncing Covington High here 8-1. Duane Dull pitched
a no-hitter through the 6th, allowed one bingle in the
7th and retired in the ninth. Covington made 4 hits, com-
mitted 4 errors. G.M.S. had 13 hits off Barnett and
Humphries. Dull fanned 9, Humphries fanned 8 in 8
frames and Barnett struck out 1. McCue hammered a
homer in the 6th and Woitscheck led off the 7th with a
circuit clout. G.M.S. exploded for 5 hits and 5 runs
in the 7th inning. As we go to press, G.M.S. plays Hin-
ton and then moves into the harder part of the schedule.

PREVIEW OF THE SEASON
Faced with the loss of such stars as Wilkenson, Bisono, Upchurch, and others, the prospect for a
winning track team for 1952 has been pretty dim. However, a fair-sized squad has been working
hard, and it is expected that several of the men will develop into future stars.
In the annual Triangular Meet with Staunton and Fork Union the team picked up only 3554
points and finished third. Three wins were achieved, Shrewsbury vaulting ten feet, nine inches in
the pole vault; Hawkins hitting twenty-one feet, three-eighths of an inch to win the broad jump,
thereby setting a new school record, and Rogers hitting one hundred twenty-one feet and one inch
with the discus. The last two are also baseball players—if they could practice track every day they
would easily be two of the best the school has ever had in several events.
Dick Gilbert took a second in the high hurdles and third in the lows. Kirkland had a fourth
place in the 440 and 880 and ran anchor on the third place mile relay team, Harmon, Panoz, and
Ransom running with him. Crawford tied for second in the pole vault, Rogers took third in the
high jump. Hamrick, F., placed second in the javelin, followed closely by Shrewsbury and Moore
in third respectively. Rogers and Snyder each jumped nearly twenty-five feet on several jumps but
had the bad luck to foul by a scant margin on their good ones.
Sam Stewart, Don Whiting, Jack Helmick, Lugar, Perry, Dufour are also working hard but did
not place in this meet. Jim Kindler is manager, and Norman Shiveley from Co. E is the assistant
manager. Captain Joe Fuller is assisting Major Bartholomew with the coaching.
GOOD RECORD IN GAZETTE RELAYS
Running against Marshall College, Fairmont State, and Oberlin College teams in the open
division of the Gazette Relays, the Cadets scored twenty-one and one-tenth points and were sec-
ond in the team scoring. Moore was third in the 100, Assistant Coach Fuller, running unattached,
was third in the 220, Kirkland took second in a 2; 01 half mile, Gilbert was third in the High
Hurdles, Kirkland fifth in the Broad Jump, Hamrick was fourth in the shot, Moore pulling down
the fifth spot, Shrewsbury tied for third in the Pole Vault going over at the ten foot nine inch
mark and Crawford was fifth. DuFour, Shrewsbury and Gilbert tied with two others for fifth in
the High Jump. The mile relay team of Moore, Stewart, S., Harmon and Kirkland finished third
behind Marshall and Fairmont. With the competition as it was, the coach felt that the boys took
all the points that he could expect them to take.
"G-MEN”
The following boys on basis of points made in the three meets earned Varsity letters: Haw-
kins, Kirkland, Gilbert, Shrewsbury, Crawford, Rogers, Hamrick, F., Moore, and Jim Kindler,
Manager.
Dick Gilbert, competing in the Hurdles and High Jump, led the team in scoring. Hawkins,
with a leap of twenty-one feet and one-eighth of an inch, broke the school record in the broad
jump by the one-eighth of an inch. Captain Staten, now on the school faculty, was the former
record holder.

RIFLE TEAM
The team shot under the direction of Lt. Col. McGuire, was coached by M/Sgt. Stuart, and
M/Sgt. Leer assisted the latter part of the season.

Letter men for the season include Team Captain John Gardner, Bob Burnham, Jack Helmick,
Dave Wilson, Eugene Riggs, Daniel Gustin, Bob Hatfield, Paul Lange, and Ronald Beatty.
Richard Barker, George Vint, Douglas Jennings, David Pratt, James Newman, and Ira Jeffries
also made the squad and helped throughout the season.

INTERCOMPANY WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS
With Major Bartholomew at the microphone, Minter
calling the points, Capt. Fuller and Dick Gilbert, cap-
able referees, Capt. Vollmer and Capt. Peterson keeping
time, Trout helping Capt. Reynolds keep score, and
the entire cadet corps cheering on the contestants, the
intramural men put on a fine wrestling show in the
gymnasium to decide the championships in each class.
The teams were Green vs. White.
In the first match, at 95 lbs., Blankenship of the
Green team did not let his smaller size deter him and
skillfully won a decision over Flippo, 12-0.
Starkey, of the White team, wrestling in the 105-lb.
class, won a decision over Bland, 11 -6.
At 115 lbs., O. Williams of the Whites won his first
match of the evening by pinning D. Richmond in 44
seconds of the second period. His speed made up for
his lack of weight.
At 185 lbs., F. Hamrick of the White team won by
default when Mentzer, trailing at the time, dislocated
his right elbow and was unable to continue.
At 136 lbs., Gutierrez gave Green a victory over
Vines, 10-5, in a hard fought match.
At 145 lbs., Sam Stewart defeated Radcliff 8-5 in
what was one of the closes and most exciting matches
of the evening.
At 121 lbs., Perry Williams, appearing for the second
time, was pinned by R. Anzola, of the Green team, in
1 minute and 16 seconds of the third period.
"Canvasback” Shrewsbury of the Green team took a
puffing and panting victory over H. Snyder, 10-6, in a
close match at 155 pounds.
At 165 lbs., "Pistol Pete” Harmon, last year’s champ-
ion, protected his title by pinning B. Burford in 44
seconds of the third period.
At 175 lbs., Sayer of the Green outfit won by de-
fault over F. Hamrick, appearing for the second time,
when Hamrick was unable to continue.
In the heavyweight class, Bill Trozzo, White, won over
Brown, Green, 5-2, in another close match.

"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
three cases, the results were extremely close.
We like that, as it shows we have many good "Joe Cadets” in the Corps.
These boys are active in many activities, enjoy life, and if you put the whole kit-and-kaboodle
into a room together you would probably end up with the biggest, most interesting bull session
since GMS began scholastic life back about 1812.

Fellow You Will Wish to Remember!
We thought you might like a picture of the fellow below—Francis, that is.
At present he is on display in Yarids Mens Shop downtown. But periodically he walks up
to school, with a little help, and dons the uniform to show cadets how it should be worn.
We bet Francis is always glad to get back into those sports sweaters and other informal togs
he wears most of the year.
GMS CADETS MEET "FRANCIS”
Greenbrier Military School cadets met "Francis" as part of their get-
acquainted indoctrination this fall. Pictured above is Sgt. 1st Class^ Roberi,
BURNHAM, of Durham. N. C., introducing Francis to the Corps and
pointing to a lapel insignia properly placed "Francis" was used to show
the new cadets how military "hardware" should be worn.

The Way It Is.........by frank bosco
To the Juniors and Seniors this
time . . .
Those words mean that 1 am writing
this column about our school ring, be-
cause only Seniors—and Juniors who
are allowed to order early to avoid the
rush—can wear one.
What does your school ring mean to
you, other than a ring you get and
maybe give to your girl to designate you
are going steady? Here is what it
should mean:
You pick the stone you will have in
it the same way you pick the way you
are going to live. The stone is a lasting
gem, shiny and bright. On the gold of
the ring are three words: TRUTH,
HONOR, DUTY. Your life will be
golden, too, if you follow the message
of the three words.
The size of your ring should be so
it is not too big and not too small, but
you might allow for the growth of your
finger. So in life we should always
leave room for growing. And we should
not get a ring so big it will fall off and
hit the ground. When it does that it
may scratch the stone, the same way
you might do something to injure your
life. You can buy a new stone for
your ring but you live only once . . .
The shape of the ring is round, repre-
senting eternity —no beginning, no end-
ing. Wear your ring constantly, and
eventually the three words will wear
smooth so you can not read them any
more. You can have them renewed.
But if you wear out the meaning of
the words, a jeweler can’t renew those
qualities. Only you yourself can do
that.
This is what your class ring should
mean to you. If it does not—think
it over and let it start to have real
meaning!
Another GMS' A-P All-American Gridder
Joe (Off-side) Palumbo
You make a big fuss and cuss the school
out when something goes wrong. Monday
rolls around and you’re in study hall and
got stuck, you blame your teachers, you
blame the officer that stuck you.
You’re already tired of this so and so
hole and you’re ready to go home. You
walk down to the mail box, open it, you
get a letter, it’s from your girl, she still
loves you. Five minutes later you think
back and wonder what you were mad
about. You realize the only reason you
were put in study hall is because you
didn’t study last week, you realize the
only reason you got stuck for no shoe
shine it because you were too lazy to
shine your shoes.
The next week you study hard and you
shine your shoes. Monday comes along
and you're not in study hall, you got an
excellent also. You’re suddenly in love
with the place, you say, "I don’t ever want
to go home.” (This may be going too
far.) But seriously there’s something in-
side of you that grinds and keeps grind-
ing the "Old Spirit.” You go home for
Christmas vacation and after you’re home
a week you find you can’t do all the things
you had planned but are counting the
days until you’re back.
All in all, the "Spirit” has got you,
and when Graduation day comes around
and you get dismissed from your company
on the front formation court, you find big
tears just a-rolling down your face.
Joe Palumbo (48), Line Star, Named to Associated Press All-American
Joe Palumbo (48), line star at Greenbrier before entering the University of Virginia, climaxed his college career by
making the Associated Press All-American Football Team last fall. Joe enrolled at Greenbrier when 12 years of age. In his
Senior year he was captain of the football team, class president, and battalion adjutant. His eagerness to get into the oppos-
ing backfield caused some of his friends here to nickname him "Off-side Palumbo” but more often than not he was through
the line and busily nailing a runner for a loss.
