BRIER PATCH
FOREWORD
VV ITH sketches, cartoons, pictures, and text we have done our
best to put together an interesting and authentic picture of Life at
Greenbrier in 1952-53.
It has been impossible, as always, to include pictures and stories
cn all the interesting events of the year, but we believe we have pre-
pared for you a good big slice of cake. We hope you enjoy both the
frosting and the five layers.
After all, each cadet will have his own memories of classes, buddies,
athletics, dates, faculty members—and the rest. But in the years ahead
we think this book will help you recall people and events you might
otherwise forget.
We hope your memories of your school life at Greenbrier will be
happy ones. We believe they will. And as you turn these pages
long after you leave The Home of the Fighting Cadets, may you enjoy
coming back in memory to the days when you were one of The Corps.
Our thanks go to all who have helped in so many ways to plan and
edit this 1953 Brier Patch.

years as cadet major, and he has furnished the corps with interested and understanding
leadership, working zealously for the good of all.
Cadet Sergeant Richard Gale Wiley—Athletics
Constantly disproving the old adage that 'A good little man can not beat a good big man,
he has "sparked” the varsity basketball and baseball teams for two years, consistently
displaying both good sportsmanship and exceptional athletic ability.

Little Paula (“Polly” Martin, twin sister of Patricia
“Patty”) and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William P.
Martin of Moundsville, West Virginia, was born July
10, 1947.
In November, 1952, she became the victim of a
rare skin ailment, reported by specialists to be the
only case of its kind on record. On December 19 it
became necessary to amputate both of Paula’s legs
just above the knees.
Paula captured the heart of America when the
wire services carried her story throughout the land.
Cheerfully the brave girl asked if she might have
blue legs if she had to have new ones. Her bravery
then and since have been an inspiration to all who
know Paula or have heard her story.
The Drier Patch, on behalf of the Fighting Cadets
of Greenbrier Military School, is privileged to offer
our ANNUAL SALUTE to Paula Martin, a truly brave
little girl.
A
Paula is looking at a per-
sonal letter written to her
by Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower.

Ricardo Anzola
Bruce Post Benedict
Anzola came to The Brier last year, immediately made
friends with everyone. Definitely the best lineman on
the Captain football team last fall, he was in on every
play, helping with the tackle or throwing key block.
This fall he started wrestling, won his weight in the
intramural tournament. He was also in charge of this
event and did a splendid job. Speaking Spanish natural-
ly, he nevertheless had no trouble making good grades
here. We will miss this "Good Neighbor” here at
The Brier.
☆ ☆ ☆
Frank Bosco
Frank is as much part of Greenbrier as the ivy on the
walls. When he leaves it will be like the pillars break-
ing down, for he has spent five years in the Band, where
he has risen to become commander. This year Frank
also edited our newspaper. His home is in Ohio and
you will find a well beaten path between there and
Gilbert, W. Va., worn smooth by devoted feet. You may
remember Frank for his fervent salesmanship of orchids.
He also served temporary time at the little red school
house across town—but his thoughts shifted back to
the little West Virginia town. He is a well known
transom hanger. An orchid to you, Frank.
"The Count” comes from Allendale, N. J., and is a
fixture around the dormitory. Everybody enjoys those
record parties and bull sessions in Room 113. We will
miss that wide grin and those wise cracks of his. Game
for anything, he is always looking for a good time. His
ambition: to enter his Horrible Hotrods in the In-
dianapolis Speedway Races. His personality and charac-
ter are much like nitrogen and glycerin which, when
combined and warmed with friendship, explode into
that wonderful guy, ' The Count.”
☆ ☆ ☆
Warren Buford
A son of the Old Dominion, he calls The Star City
home. Buford seldom walks the well known beat, but
gets his pleasure a lot of the time listening to "long-
hair” classical and semi-classical music. He likes to
eat, including eating his room mate’s food. He is a
well read fellow, at home with a good book, and is one
of our more studious cadets who hauls down the good
grades. We haven’t seen Warren at the college across
town very often, and we think there is a girl in Old
Virginia.
page twenty
James Edward Callis
Jim has been active in clubs and intramural athletics
during his three years at Greenbrier. Not only has he
played on his company teams and started as a wrestler,
but also he has served on the Intercompany Sports
Council. He is not an unknown quantity over at the
College, for we often see him over that way "playing
the field.” We shall only mention his friendly dis-
position and his good personality and concentrate on his
artistic ability, for Jim has it. Without an art lesson
to his name, he turned in all the senior cartoons in this
Brier Patch, and he will draw you a pin-up girl picture
at the drop of an eraser. We expect to see your drawings
in the magazines, Jim.
☆ ☆ ☆
Marshall Allen Coburn
An old hand at National Guard work, he can drill
with the best. Coburn especially likes to play football
against Pulaski—if the score is 40-0. He has had some
practice and says he can explain to cadets the most
efficient way to walk that beat which, like Tennyson’s
brook, goes on forever. His favorite trip on Sunday is
to go out with his parents. Marshall is no stranger to
the girls in the school founded back in 1812, and it is
rumored he knows enough about Greenbrier Hall to
serve as a guide.
Guerney Courtland Clarke
Among the great lovers of this era is Court "Job”
Clarke of Cowen, West Virginia. He plans to study
engineering at Lehigh. An active athlete, he has chalked
up two years of JV basketball and one of varsity foot-
ball. He is also busy with intramural sports, the proud
wearer of the blue-and-gold Owls emblem, and inter-
ested in outside activities. By that we mean this good
looking fellow may often be found at GCW, where he
does a great job lifting the morale of the girls. This
summer he will be milling around in local coal mines.
That’s Court for you—at home anywhere. He will get
along OK!
☆ ☆ ☆
Carroll Cameron Coleman, II
If you see a shiny cap of a shoe in front of Col.
Rawl’s office and the heel still coming down the dorm
steps, bend a shoe lace back, peel away the hands, bump
into the noise behind—and you will find "Thumper”
Coleman. He hails from Huntington but his feet sleep
in Ashland. "Thump” is an active fellow around school.
He played JV football, JV basketball, and pitched a mean
knuckler for the baseball boys. He did an outstanding
job on the gridiron because he could block six men
with his feet, knock over four with his noise, and pull
down the runner. "The Thumper” is a grand guy, with
lots of ability along many lines.
page twenty-one
Louis Edward Crigger
Everybody likes to have Louis in the crowd because
his ever-cheerful disposition and good nature make
for laughs and fun. Proud of Company C, he is always
in there pitching for his favorites in intercompany
sports. He is also an active member of the Jayvee
football and basketball teams. Louis hails from Mt.
Ida, Arkansas, way out where the razorbacks run down
the middle of the road and make the automobiles take
to the tall corn. He plans to continue his studies at the
University of Arkansas, where we know he can make a
fine record.
Edward Dunkin Curry
Ed keeps the best room in A Company, and we figure
if we had publicized this earlier he would still be dating
the College. We just don’t know why he is no longer
a regular over there. This easy-going, soft talking fellow
has a host of friends. His favorite sport is soft ball.
He is a good student, an omniverous (five dollar word,
Ed) reader, and a fine piano player. Ed will borrow any-
thing any time, but he is also big hearted and will lend
you whatever you need. Next year Ed transfers his
talents to the WVU campus. Come back and see us at
Homecoming, Ed.
☆ ☆ ☆
Clare Edward Gettles
From down where Gen. Lewis fought Cornstalk, at
Pt. Pleasant, West Virginia, it is only natural for Clare
to end up in Lewisburg. He is a good all-around man
in every respect who has spent a half dozen years at The
Brier. Getties likes the name ''Clareabell.” He is also
another of our classical music lovers. Although Clare
claims he doesn’t like the College, we think he is bluffing,
because there is one girl’s name which makes him jump.
We will miss his good-natured friendliness.
Malcolm Silman Harlow
"Mai” Harlow, with five years service, the oldest mem-
ber of the Lewisburg Leisure Lovers, rates as Number
One Filler of the Pioneer Drug. Next year he hopes to
be a ’Wahoo” at University of Virginia, perhaps to
major in Foreign Service. "Mai” makes no bones about
the fact he loves the Old Brier but is surely glad he is
going to graduate. He hunts a lot, follows the Model
Railroaders quite ardently. He foolishly thinks Green-
brier couldn’t thrive without drill and inspections. Be
seeing you in an embassy somewhere, "Mai.”
page twenty-two
Robert Ray Hatfield
Bob has spent two good years at The Brier, both of
them in that noise-making outfit, the Cadet Band. With
Bob it is always Ashland, Ashland, Ashland. He says he
likes money and women, mostly women. He may well
be called "Harry"—the man with a trumpet. His favorite
pastimes here have been journeying to town to see what
he could see and playing that trumpet. We will re-
member his long tales and terrific stories of his own
home town. Play that thing, Bob!
Chalmer C. Hayes
Here we have a friendly, enthusiastic fellow who al-
ways enters into any activity planning to do all he can to
make it succeed. Hayes can tell tall tales with the best.
He is an ardent supporter of his company, and insists
that Company B is the Best. Differ with him if you
want to, but we warn you—Chalmer is a tough man in
an argument. He enjoys working on publications, ex-
pects to continue it in college, and was one of our
delegates to Lexington, Va., this spring. We will miss
his cheerful grin and laughter around The Brier.
☆ ☆ ☆
☆ ☆ ☆
Nathaniel David Helmick
This man from Fairmont has been around since '48.
A tall, good-natured fellow from Fairmont, Dave had
gone right on up to the rank of lieutenant. He has
collected many honors along the way, and has played on
a number of championship athletic teams in intramural
sports. He looked good in Jayvee basketball. As for
brains, Dave has been a regular member of the Owls
Club throughout his career at The Brier. When no one
else can work a problem in science, call on Dave and
you’re as good as ready for the test.
James Walker Jackson
One of our re-tread recruits is Jack "Shoeless Joe”
Jackson, the Ohio flash. With or without his shoes, he
has been active in intramural sports. His favorite
pastimes include hot-rod ing his father’s new Ford and
having after taps parties so the O. C. can chase him.
When at home he may be located where things are
moving fast. We tried without success to discover his
life’s ambition. So you want to be a bootlegger? Quit
kidding, Jackson! He likes to shine shoes. Could that
be a hint of a profession? Good driving. Jack.
page twenty-three
John Richard Jackson
"Moose” Jackson is the wonder boy of the infirmary.
We wonder is he boy or gorilla! Some say he is muscle
bound but actually there’s bound to be a muscle some-
where. This likeable person says football is for big
boys like Zilberberg. Jackson likes his work in the
infirmary but misses so many formations he is afraid
he’ll forget how to march. If you want "Moose”, look
in the 'phone booth. You’ll find him calling, "Long
Distance? Logan, please.” Remember, "Moose,” we
still love you, and wherever there’s a group of cadets
gathered the conversation will eventually drift to "Big
Moose” Jackson.
☆ ☆ ☆
Robert Lester Kaufman
Bob came here four years ago, climbed the ladder to
the top rung, fell off into the first platoon of B Company,
which is now under his captable command. His nick-
name is lengthy but well known: "Popoofnick.” Dur-
ing study hall Bob really racks his brains as he prepares
for his lessons in Dick Tracy, Donald Duck, and last
but not least—Mickey Spillane. This year Bob was
voted "The Officer Most Likely to Be On Bounds.” In
the summer Bob may be found in his local precinct No.
8, Fairmont, West Virginia, paying a fine for speeding
through the corner drug store in his Jaguar.
James John Jones
Jimmy John is one of the best liked boys in school.
Full of fun and a zest for living, he is a prominent figure-
in comptany activities, always pulling for his company
to come out ahead. He was a stalwart in the varsity
line last fall, and they do say banging off Jimmy John
was like banging yourself off a granite block. A strong
"Rebel” from Richmond, Va., he plans to further his
knowledge by attending North Carolina University or
North Carolina State. We ll be hearing of and from
you, J. J. J.
☆ ☆ ☆
Howard E. Keim
From the Golden Triangle City, Keim must have been
a cowboy for once in a while he was seen rolling his
own cigarettes. He collects those 25-cents novels and
is a steady reader of literature. Keim also played a
good game for the Jayvee football team and has always
been active in intramural sports. He dates the college,
seems to have a girl in Pittsburgh, goes by the name of
"Engle” for some unknown reason, and proves he has
all-around interests by being fond of popular music.
page twenty-four
John Leonard Kisner
That tall, handsome boy prowling around "B” stoop
is bound to be John Leonard "Sid" Kisner, who usually
can be found on application. He doesn’t know where
he will go to college but plans to be an engineer of
some sort. He enjoys writing to beautiful girls. A
member of the orchestra, John claims he plays the sweet-
est sax this side of Tommy Dorsey. A senior member
of the poker club, he has paid his fee of one hundred.
After taps, look for John in the PX or listening to a
W. V. U. basketball game. He is head janitor of the
sweeper crew and as a waiter was called "Speed Ball"
for some unknown reason.
☆ ☆ ☆
Ira Judson Martin, Jr.
"Jud” Martin, also known as "Jody,” is a fellow who
was seen at GCW early in the year but decided playing
around barracks was more fun. He is active in intra-
mural sports, makes good enough grades to keep out of
Night Study Hall, and skips the college across town—
to their loss. He smokes cigarettes, favoring the O. P.
brand. When we asked one of his buddies if he ever
stayed up after taps for some of those bull-sessions
"Jud” enjoys, the answer was "I refuse to answer on
grounds of self-incrimination,” so we figure maybe TWO
cadets do that occasionally (OCs take notice!). "Jody"
is OK and we expect to hear more of him in this world.
Edward McClain
We think maybe McClain is headed for a musical
career, because every time he goes to town he stops in
to buy records, favoring both popular and semi-classical.
He says he likes anything to take his mind off work,
but he is a good student and hauls dow n the high grades.
No dates across the way for this fellow—don’t ask us
why. He enjoys a pipe occasionally, which is a good
idea here because it saves you from the cigarette bums.
McClain never misses a Monday picture show.
☆ ☆ ☆
Thomas Alvin Merritt
"Big Tom" Merritt, one of the best, finds being First
Sergeant of "D” Company isn’t altogether what it's
cracked up to be. He is the one man in the company
who has to know where each man is at any time. Amid
all his lists of sweepers and absentees, he still finds time
to be friendly. Perhaps his intense knowledge comes
from the fact he lives closest to the library and "works”
in the PIO office. He and his roommate hit it off fine
until it comes to who will wax the floor for inspection.
Some of the boys still wonder what the white paint
means on his sabre. Next year—Davidson, N. C.
page tuenty-fiie
Thomas Dodd Minter
Tom attends GMS during the school session, likes it
so much he goes to Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca in the summer.
Why, you ask, does Tom never walk the beat? He
hides behind his roommate's buttons. He belongs to
D Company, Nape's Little School for Janitors. He is
one of the many boys with two big stripes. He can
really slap together those model planes, and what for?
So he can take them out back and ram them eight feet
deep into the ground, why else? Tom brags about Beck-
ley, was active in Jayvee football—lettered two straight
years—gets a lot of enjoyment out of life. Keep flying
high, Minter.
☆ ☆ ☆
Roussel Max Muniz
All the way from Puerto Rico came this Ambassador
of Good Will. He has done his pan to put mighty "C"
in second place in the intramural program. He has
learned to like basketball, but his own unique specialty
is weight lifting. If you misbehave around Muniz, and
he feels like it, he can lift you up, shake you at arm's
length, and drop you out like a buttered cream puff, so be
careful. His personal body guards seem to be Rodriguez
and Almela, or is it the other way around?
Philip Miraglata
One watching—and listening—would think Phil had
a life-long ambition to be a second Beethoven. A lot
of his free time goes to practicing on the piano. He
adds plenty of life and spice and spunk to the First
Platoon of Co. C, in which he is guide. Believing that
A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody," Phil leaves the 88’s
quite often and journeys across town to GCW where
his tine personality has made him many friends among
Those Who Know Men. Phil is another Buckeye and
another senior from East Liverpool. See you at the
Buckeye Alumni Chapter meeting, Phil.
☆ ☆ ☆
Norman Cullen Napier. Ill
Norman "Nape" Cullen "Bud" Napier of Arlington,
Virginia, has given five years of his life to The Brier. We
have our little black books, but with "Nape" it is the
little black room. He takes and makes pictures, plans
to photograph models this summer. Careful, boy! He
isn't a woman hater—just plans to leave them alone a
year or two until he has made his first million. "Bud"
belongs to many organizations, has been a great dictator
of Co. D, and whether or not that rumor is true about
his wanting to rule the world—we are sure he will some
day be a great leader. His next stop is M.I.T.
page tuenty-six
Donald Eugene Panoz
Don's .gleaming red hair is his trade-mark. Although
he has spent not a little time on the beat, his live years
here have been bearable and he is now a Platoon Ser-
geant. In March he became a big card man—not aces
and kings, but calling cards. He lives in the quietest
suite in school (?). An active JV football player and
Intercompany sportsman, he has made a good athletic
record. We hope he can break track records at WVU as
he has here. It takes a good man like Wilbur to catch
Panoz on his birthday. We found through him that
bow legs are few—yes, and far between.
Howard Thurman Perry
"Bud" Perry is a mighty member of the mighty band,
and has spent two years at The Brier. He plays a mean
game of football for the Jayvees. "Bud" may often be
found in the Band room, which seems to be his favorite
hangout, playing that clarinet or the bass drum or even
studying Trig. His favorite pastime is talking over old
times with Lt. Yarbrough. A sturdy Mountaineer, "Bud”
plans to go to West Virginia University next year. As
the fellow says (and we quote it sincerely)—"Our loss
will be their gain."

David Sloan Pratt
Dave Pratt, C Company squad leader from Pulaski.
is another two-year man at Greenbrier. A good-natured
individual, he is sometimes known among the boys as
"Share Cropper" or "Preacher,” although he doesn’t re-
semble either one very much. Dave has earned a repu-
tation among those people of discernment for his "self-
rolled cigarettes” and his Sunday afternoon trips.
Wherever you find Dave you will find a good time.
John Frederick Queen
Queen has a distinction so far—he has not been on
the beat this year. You don’t know what you are
missing! Queen knows his way across town and can do
all right after he gets to the college on the hill, although
he claims he is true to a girl at home. He likes to
listen to popular music, eats a lot of his roommate’s
food, and enjoys reading. He is a one-year man who has
made good, taking part in many intramural sports and
being named on the Council.

Warren Alva Ransom
Warren started out in Company A and made it to
corporal, but his love of music made him ask for a
change, so back he went to private and into the Band.
He is a good track man, always willing to put in the
necessary hours of practice. His chief interest, aside
from track, is keeping the mess hall in good shape. He
has a good disposition and keeps his life musical, both
at home and at The Brier. He adds those pretty notes
to the Band music with his little hammers and his bell
lyre. Warren will do O.K.

William Withers Saunders
Big Bill, another fixture around here, spent one after-
noon each week all last fall running anywhere from 35
to 95 yards to score Jayvee touchdowns, turned so many
ends be looked like a contortionist. He also starred
in basketball. Big Bill is a mighty platoon leader in
D, rooms with Minter and keeps one of the tidiest rooms
in the Dorm. Bill has a time, however, stumbling over
Minter’s big model planes. He sticks any faculty member
he sees smoking in the hall. Bill may go to Miami, in
Florida, next year to take Business. Sounds like a holiday
to us.
Enrique Hernadez Rodriguez
Senor Rodriguez came to The Brier via banana boat
from way down on a small island south of the border.
He is one of our Spanish speaking representatives from
Cuba, but insists he never heard of Sloppy Joe’s. He
plays baseball, tennis, is good at judo, likes swimming,
and loves girls. Usually one would be able to find him
at GCW, if he were not taking his flag pole exercises at
The Brier. This is his second year here. He is a veteran
of the Camp Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca campaign where he strug-
gled with English, Math, baseball, horseback riding,
canoeing, swimming, and tennis. Good luck, amigo!

Donald Sutherlin Shannon
Don was a stalwart in the fine Jayvee football line.
He has also shown interest in intercompany sports and
served a hitch on the Sports Council this year. He claims
Turkey as home, and we think over there he gets free to-
bacco via the American Tobacco Company in Izmir. In
this country he favors O. P. cigs. He can find relatives
in Clover, Va., or Washington, if he doesn’t want to go
home. Don is an Owl Club member. He gave up the
College across the way for some unknown reason. He is
one of the reasons why the paper-covered books sell so
many copies. See you in Turkey, Don.

Tom Shrewsbury
Who’s that old man with white hair in a cadet uni-
form? Why, that's "Tonk” Shrewsbury, All-American
pole vaulter for GMS. One of the most popular officers
in school, he commands Co. C. Tom could be Lutz’s
shadow, as he never leaves Lutz alone for a minute.
He has a fortune hidden somewhere around here. We
all know this because there's never a time Tom goes on
duty he doesn't say: "Give me a couple of pennies."
If you don't have any pennies, that's all right with Tom
because then he'll ask for a cigarette. Tom makes
friends with no trouble, and thinks friend Uncle Sam
has a job waiting for him.
☆ ☆ ☆
Jack Stephenson
Steve, the Mess Sergeant, rules the dining hall with
an iron hand. He does a good job with the 2nd Platoon
of Co. A. He likes all girls named Nancy, Helen, or
Carole, but says he doesn’t get along any too well with
but one of them (she has seen him only once). Last
summer, had you been at the pool where he held forth,
you would have seen Steve as the handsome Life Guard,
just like in the magazines, rescuing fair damsels from
drowning. Steve likes to argue, thinks all assignments
are too tough, but has the ability to do well.
Harlan Clair Starkey
This Buckeye came to the Brier last year and im-
mediately adjusted himself well to this rough life. This
fall he played Captain football and was one of the team's
best backfield men. Playing either halfback or quarter-
back, he was one of the top scoring threats. A live wire
around school, he never seems to stop talking. He is
very popular with boys and girls, but for some reason
he doesn't hang out at the college very much. Starkey’s
personality and wise remarks will be missed at The Brier
next year.
☆ ☆ ☆
German Suarez
Here is another boy with a good personality who is
lots of fun and adds to the life of any crowd he joins.
German hails from one of our neighbors to the South—
Bogata, Colombia. He is quite at home in the USA.
He plans to continue his studies after he leaves The Brier
and names either Cornell or Perdue University. His
idea now is to become either an engineer or an architect.
If German decides to go back to Bogata, we want to
climb the highest mountain and visit him there.

Louis John Toman
"Louie" is one of the cheerful members of our Lewis-
burg Leisure Lovers Club. You often see him riding by
in his bright new Chevrolet, loaded with passengers.
He is a good athlete, and a "wow” with the women of
White Sulphur—or maybe it is just a four-wheel per-
sonality. When the call to end classes is sounded, you
hear a mad rush of Town Boys trying to catch Louie be-
fore he leaves. Usually when he gets to the bus they are
hanging out the windows. He is popular in school
where he stars in "Shorty” Bosco’s Beautiful Band.
☆ ☆ ☆
Royal Ervin Walther, Jr.
Erwin "Spooks" Walther sings the praises of Charles-
ton on the Kanawha. The proof he is a brain is that
he is one of the best chess players in school. He is also
a long-haired classical music lover, and can sit and
listen to it all day and all night. He is a friendly
fellow, likes basketball, softball, or any other athletic
game, and occasionally manages to pick up a few de-
merits—as who doesn’t? Next year he will see another
Brier Boy, as he is going to Davidson College. You and
Merritt should make the Dean’s List.
Fred Vines
"Buzzy” came to GMS in 1951 and has pounded the
beat off and on with the best ever since. He played a
wicked line-backer for the Jayvees last fall and starred
on the Co. B Lwt. basketball team. If you don't know
who Buzzy is, he may easily he identified by these three
characteristics: late to formation, not in bed at taps,
bumming a smoke. He has the 2nd Squad, 2nd Platoon,
in his charge. Buz plans to study medicine at Johns
Hopkins, establish his office in Beckley, buy a car, run
over people, then leave his business card at the scene of
the "accident.”
☆ ☆ ☆
Paul Lewis Williamson
Paul "Sonny” Williamson, a renowned member of
the Band, plays a cool note on the trumpet and would
be a sharp bugler, except he is only fourth squad leader
in the big companies. He claims Fairmont is a "Hot
Rod Paradise.” As far as model airplane engines go,
they’re harmless in his calloused hands. Sonny may be
recognized a mile away from the GCW windows by
his radiant love for women. His ambition is to be
PMS&T at a girls’ military school. Ah, those in-
spections of quarters and personnel! Although con-
stantly trying to uncover excuses to skip reveille, he
really is agreeable as the day wears on.
page thirty
Bridson Briggs Wills
"Brid” is recognized as a ham operator by most of
the boys and faculty members who sometimes turn their
dials after taps and pick up Brid’s conversations with
some other hams. When asked why he enjoyed using
that radio after taps, Brid calmly replied it was more
fun to broadcast when you weren't supposed to. He is
well liked and adds to the fun of any crowd. Like all
Buckeyes, he is proud he hails from Ohio. He is also
a top-notch photographer, a good student, and was
one of our delegates to the Southern Interscholastic Press
Association in April.

Robert Franklin Wiley
Bob came to GMS in 1951 and has already worked his
way up to guide of the first platoon of Company C. He
now has four big stripes on his arm. He played Jayvee
football and is always active in intramural sports. Bob
is never seen without Kirkland, and vice versa. He
always has a big grin on his face, some devilment in his
mind, and finds life exciting. Bob hails from Mullens,
West Virginia, and is as proud of that city as it is of
him. We know Bob will continue his knack of getting
along and making friends.
Aurich Dillard Woodson
Rick, the Lover from Salem with that new Pontiac,
loves to date and usually has a new girl each time. In
the summer he works in his dad’s garage in daytime and
dates in the evening. In his spare time he has mastered
the uke. He is active in Intramurals, especially basket-
ball. As a hobby he studies racing and all the new cars.
He says he likes bookkeeping, although he finds it his
most difficult subject. Rick plans to attend Marshall
College next year, so look out, Huntington, here comes
the one-man panic. We know Rick and Marshall will
hit it off OK.
☆ ☆ ☆
Fred Livesay Zicafoose
Freddie likes to drive his Ford truck at night and
hates to go to bed. He is a worthy member of the
Lewisburg Leisure Lovers. His favorite subject is English
and he claims he usually makes 85 to 95. Fred has a
most interesting hobby. That is "Women." He likes to
go on duty as long as Frank Bosco does not pester him
with demerits. Fred says he thinks highly of the mili-
tary and hopes to have Col. McGuire as his leader when
he gets to Korea. He had a most successful year in
Jayvee basketball. He is also sometimes known as Top
Kick of the local A. & P. and as the Christmas Tree
Tycoon of Greenbrier County.

AS IT WAS IN THE
BEGINNING
"Old Brick Academy” from
a rare photograph. This was
the original school building
erected "prior to 1812.” After
1876, a larger building was
added to this, became a dormi-
tory for college girls. (Yes.
the school was Co-ed then!)

HIGHLIGHTS of the SEASON
The G.M.S. Fighting Cadets of the gridiron, much improved over last year’s winless crew,
wound up the 1952 season with a three won, seven lost record. In at least eight of the ten games
played, the cadets were the underdogs due to their size and unfamiliarity to each other. The last
statement can easily be verified if you will take a look at the roster. This shows that the Fighting
Cadets of the gridiron came from all over—from New Jersey to North Carolina.
CADETS-COUGARS
In the first game of the season, the Fighting Cadets defeated the Covington High Cougars by
a score of 28-14. This was one of the few evenly matched games of the season. The first scoring
was done by Gary Watson as he dashed into the Cougar end zone from eight yards out. Tony
Capparelli made his first of four conversions to set the tally at 7-0. The Fighting Cadets took a
14-0 lead when, after a short try at defense, Jack Einrienhofer bulled over from the Cougar 12-
yard line with Capparelli converting. The Cougars got back into the ball game on a pass play,
converted and made the score 14-7.
The second half started with G.M.S. receiving. The Cadets were forced to punt, then got
back on the touchdown trail when Covington fumbled on their own twenty. Pat Freeman flipped
a flat pass touchdown to Tony Capparelli on a fourth and one from twelve yards out. Capparelli
converted, and the tally board read 21-7. The Cougars kept driving and fighting, refusing to ad-

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEASON—Continued
mit defeat. Once more on a long pass play the Cougars scored and converted to harrow the Cadet
lead to one touchdown at 21-14. Gary Watson intercepted a Cougar pass, after the ball had changed
hands three or four times, and raced unmolested into the end zone with Capparelli converting to end
the game's scoring at 28-14. Time and time again during the game, the G.M.S. linesmen showed
how anxious they were to smother the Cougar backs as they were penalized for offside.
CADETS-M.M.A.
The G.M.S. Fighting Cadets racked up another win as they edged out Massanutten by 19-13
in a last second thriller. Massanutten started the scoring parade in the second quarter by complet-
ing a 63-yard march with a touchdown and an extra point. The Cadets narrowed the M. M. A.
lead to one point as Pat Freeman and Gary Watson carried the ball the length of the field and
then into the end zone. Tony Capparelli’s talented toe was sadly missed as the attempt of the extra
point by Sam Stewart was low and wide.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEASON—Continued
In the third period the Fighting Cadets went ahead momentarily by 13-7, as Jack Boone
crashed over from the two with Brundy Beard converting in the absence of Capparelli. After
twenty minutes of see-saw battling, M.M.A. tallied on a long pass, but missed the conversion to
knot the score at 13-13. The Cadets took the kickoff and drove to the M.M.A. thirty-yard line where
Pat Freeman attempted three passes to Jim Wright, all three falling short. Then with ten seconds
remaining Freeman flipped a pass, which for a moment appeared as though it would fall incom-
plete. Jim Wright raced from nowhere, leaped high and snared the winning six pointer on his
gluey fingertips. Pat Freeman, Jim Wright, and Gary Watson were standouts on offensive while
Bob Shipman and Stan Searfoss shared in the brunt of the defensive work.
CADETS-VMI JAYVEES
The Fighting Cadets were the host to a big, fast, tough V. M. I. Jayvee team, and all who saw
the game will say that the Fighting Cadets really played their hearts out. Whyte, Boxley and
Belsha, a trio of speedy line crackers worried the Cadet defense all afternoon. The Fighting Cadets
took the opening kickoff and started down field on what appeared to be a touchdown drive. Then,
on the V. M. I. 39-yard line, the Cadets fumbled and Undercroffer recovered for V. M. I. The
Virginians couldn’t get anywhere so Boxley punted out on the G. M. S. ten. The Cadets marched
only 23 yards, then fumbled and once more V. M. I. recovered. Whyte carried the ball to the G.M.S.
24 on one play, Boxley carried to the 11, and Belsha crashed over from the 4, after carrying the
ball three times.
The Fighting Cadets took the next kickoff and marched some seventy yards, only to have the
clock run out for halftime, with the ball resting on the V. M. I. 4-yard line. The third quarter was
a see-saw affair, with neither team entering the striped area. V. M. I. buried the Cadets’ hopes of
victory when, on a fourth and eight, Boxley took a pitch-out and raced for a first down by about
two inches. With the ball on the G.M.S. 25, Harrington took a pass from Fencel for thirteen big
yards to the G. M. S. twelve. Fencel faded to pass again, and hit Belsha in the end zone for the
final tallies. Whyte converted and gave V. M. I. their game winning margin of thirteen to nothing.
Fumbles and freak plays galore provided ample material for
an article on the weird antics a football can perform. To give just
one instance, when the Virginia Freshmen kicked off for the second
half their kicker messed up his effort and the ball skidded rapidly
against the leg of a GMS tackle standing on his own 45, bounced
back to the 48, and was recovered by Virginia. Once a 15-yard
penalty against Baylor put the ball from their 10 to their 1 and
on the next play a similar penalty against The Brier put the ball up
to the 16, giving Baylor a 5-yard gain and first and ten without a
play having been run. Some breaks went the other way too, and it
was a good and interesting season.

Coach Hunt, when interviewed, pointed out that: "The ’key1 was
ability. We had a group of fine ball players, and no position seemed to
give us serious trouble." Hunt also praised the backs and linesmen
individually for their spirit and cooperation.
Saunders scored 12 times, Crawford scored 3 times, the other TD's
were scattered among the other players. Booth played an outstanding
tackle. Vines was one of the best line-backers ever seen on a JV team
here. Crawford always til let! in the right spot and Vines could move
around freely. Morgan was a great defensive end. Stevens, another end, showed constant improvement. Crawford
and Treadway were terrific in punching to set up breakaway plays for long runs. Harman was the key blocker, and
Bromley's smart quarterbacking was a wonderful asset to the team.

The Midgets played only two teams their size — in the Bib Bowl
game in Covington and the second game against Princeton. Coach
Moore said the Bib Bowl game was the best of the season. G.M.S. gained 50 yards on the next to last play, the Cov-
ington safety man making a wild dive and hitting the runner’s foot to stave off a score. Greenbrier outplayed Coving-

Fast action against A. M. A. in Virginia
THE SEASON IN REVIEW
Greenbrier’s varsity, handicapped by lack of height, turned in an 8 won, 14 lest record but man-
aged to pull several outstanding upsets and managed to make just about every game a thriller
all the way.
The boys beat Richwood 47-45 over there, lost 85-82 to Bluefield College, took a 74-72
thriller from the W. Va. Tech Freshmen, and beat the VMI JVs 68-58 in pre-Christmas games.
Concord Training won an upset 55-45 victory and Mountain State won here "going away” 92-71.
The boys swamped Augusta 63-38, lost to Massanutten in the final seconds 88-86, dropped
an 89-72 decision in Virginia to the best SMA team in many years, turned the tables to beat
Massanutten 88-86 there, and trimmed Augusta 75-37.
In Morgantown, the W. V. U. Frosh won 104-69. Bluefield College, the undefeated U. Va.
JVs, and FUMA defeated Greenbrier, and an improved VMI team came from behind to win 77-74.
Concord Training proved maybe their first win hadn’t been an upset by winning a thriller 61-60
page eighty-six
when a foul at the final whistle enabled them to tie the score and a goal in the final seconds of
overtime won the game. Greenbrier held the WVU Frosh to a 108-96 score in a crowded gym
here, lost to SMA 107-87. It was the closest game SMA had played. Featuring a former All-
American high school star who scored 76 in one game, the SMA boys trailed in the early stages
and were forced to go all-out to win. Tired from that battle, GMS couldn’t get started in Beckley
and although they spurted to outscore Woodrow Wilson in the second half they lost 74-62.
To climax the season, GMS went to Parkersburg to play a highly favored Mountain State Col-
lege team and turned the tables with a 62-60 victory. It was a splendid example of a team never
giving up in spite of a losing streak.

the unusual. Note the GCW girl peeking over the ball as Sam balances it care-
fully to protect her from the opposition.

THE SEASON
Coach John Hunt had Wiley, second baseman. Wood McCue, hard-hitting outfielder, to be
converted to a catcher, Sam Stewart, outfield, Fred Woitscheck and Gene Beard, pitchers. Buz Snyder,
first base, and a number of newcomers to start the season.
In the first game he used this batting order: Wiley, 2B; Edwards, RF; McCue, C; Maynor,
3B; Woitscheck, SS; Snyder, IB; Watson, CF; Clark, LF; Beard, P, Later, Stewart went to right
field, Crawford went to short when Woitscheck relieved Coleman in the box. In the second game,
Capparelli caught while Haskins and Hanson had a chance on the hill. Argyrakis played second
after the 4th inning. Later in the season, Maynor became regular catcher and McCue played on
second.
So as we go to press all we can tell is that the season ahead looks like an interesting one,
and we are pulling hard for our Fighting Cadets. Rain has played hob with the schedule, but we
hope to meet all scheduled opponents during the season.
We suggest you fill in the scores on the other page so you will have a complete athletic record
for the year.
Greenbrier won its opener from Covington in Virginia 5-3. The cadets collected 7 safeties
while limiting the Cougars to 2.
The Cadets won an 11-inning game from Boys Home in Virginia 5-4, Sam Stewart’s great
catch of Harris’ "certain" home run in the 8th saving the day. Boys Home led 4-2, but GMS
tied it up and in the 11th, with two out, Wiley tripled, scored on wild pitch after Edwards walked.
Woitscheck pitched a great game against W. Va. Tech here, allowing only 3 hits and getting
a triple himself. He homered against Boys Home here. Capparelli’s hitting has been good. He
tripled in Covington and hit a homer against W. Va. Tech here. Maynor tripled against Fork Union
and Capparelli doubled.
Maynor Lays the Wood to the Ball—and It’s a Hit!

THE CHAMPIONS
BOXING TOURNAMENT
The boxing tournament was good, as it was
the first G. M. S. has had in several years. It
is the hope of our excellent boxing instructor,
Captain Barker, to develop some real boxers
from the cadets and build up into a team in the
future. The cadets have proven that they have
what it takes, so with some experience, who
knows, maybe a future pro or two. The tourney
was individual and the participants displayed
amazing ability to slug each other.

There were three separate tournaments in the
boxing: Junior School for the peanuts; Novice
for those who had never before boxed, and an
Open for the Pro Sluggers Watson, Beakes, and
Johnson.
Ducky McCutcheon won his title by the
failure of anyone to fight him for it. He is a
tough hombre.
Wilkerson, J., displayed his fancy foot and
glove work upon Flippo to win a decision over
him.
Greene also won by the failure of anyone to
fight him for the crown.
Randy Bragg worked out pretty hard for the
tournament and looked great! He must have
because everyone was scared to box him.
Slugger Jorgenson waded through Knoble, J.,
and Hite to win his crown by decisions.
Snozzle Jennings won the most participated
weight when he clobbered Wilkinson, D„ and
Shebrov for his title.
Marshall Coburn got a rough time in his
match with Glaskin but he came back to win
by a decision.
TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
Charles Alvarez and Curly Bouret won the
tennis doubles crown over Buddy Gent and
Sharpie Carver by the scores of 6-2, 6-3 in a
keenly contested match as all were from B
Company.
VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The Volleyball Championship was a terrific
battle between Bl and B2. Both teams fielded
a host of men nearly equal in ability and desire
to win. Bl finally won 2-1 by the scores of
15-13, 15-12 and B2 taking the second one
18-16. Stars were Alvarez, Clarke, C, Gent,
Coburn, Callis, Bouret, and a few bums like
Vines and Harman.
FACULTY vs. Bl
The faculty has-beens came out the victor in
a bloody conflict with the Bl Trojans despite
their age and inexperience. The scores of the
game are withheld as they were decided as detri-
mental to the morale of a company. Members
of the faculty: Morgan, Peterson, Baker, Reyn-
olds, Vollmer, Highsmith, and Moore, all of
whom played an excellent game. Bl: Kauf-
man, Harman, Clark, B., Clarke, C., Summers,
Gourley, Dufour, Stewart, S., all of whom tried.

Duncan and Flash Keeney by the score of 2-0.
This was a very good tourney with plenty of
competition from everyone. The singles tourna-
ment should be pretty good also. This is the
third championship for both Alvarez and
Bouret.

Here’s what we have, upper left across and on through lower right: (1) The editor assures
the advisor all copy will be ready on time; (2) Napier shoots an informal photo; (3) Jim Callis
works on his Senior Section cartoon strips (4) Helmick and Williamson check up on their ad-
vertisements; (5) Baxter Shaffer calls on Tom Minter for a little help with layout (Minter is an
airplane expert so is well qualified to help with high-flying ideas of what a book should be); (6)
Dick Schaffer works on a Book Division sketch.
Not shown in this layout are scenes with the staff members running wildly up and down the
stoops trying to beat a deadline, the advisor tearing his hair because three names and addresses are
missing from a page of copy, the photographic editor retaking platoon pictures during drill period
while the military department brass counts the minutes, the post office sending proofs back by way
of Kalamazoo, and the printers taking time out for a poker game while the editor wears a path in
the hallway looking for final proofs in the mail. All in all, life in the Brier Patch Jungle gets hectic
ar times—but worth the effort.

OWLS CLUB
★
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.

The Honor Court has done a splendid job upholding the tenets of the Honor System. Mem-

only on these men but the cooperation of the entire corps and faculty.
Greenbrier is justly proud of her Honor System.

SENIORS - - - YOU WILL BE ALUMNI
ON THE AFTERNOON OF JUNE FIRST!
We have often said "Our alumni are our best advertisement.” We are justly proud of the
splendid men who have gone on from Greenbrier to make outstanding records in college, home town,
state, and nation. We always extend a warm welcome to our alumni to visit the school at any time,
and many of them do stop by to see us. In fact, very often alumni find it possible to bring their brides
along when they are on the traditional wedding trip.
A few years ago, at the urgent request of many former students, we set up a definite organiza-
tion, with chapters in a number of cities. At present we have active groups in Charleston, Hunting-
ton, and the Monongalia area of West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Ohio, and
Washington, D. C. The Washington group was organized this spring. Alumni in Virginia and
several other sections of the country are going forward with plans to form their own chapters.
Lt. Col. J. W. Benjamin, who has been on our faculty since 1925, is Alumni Secretary and
editor of our quarterly publication, The Alumni Record. Maj. R. W. Keene, who has been with us
since 1937, is Organization Director.
Each fall we hold an annual Homecoming, when "old boys” return for a day of friendships
renewed at Greenbrier. This year Henry Grusendorf (31) and his orchestra played for the Home-
coming Dance. Each year the local groups hold their own meetings, usually with a representative
from the school in attendance.
M. R. Hamill (20), Vice President, Edgar A. Wise (38), Sect.-Treas., and Col. W. J. Moore, who was honor
guest at the meeting, look on interestedly as Carl K. Gilchrist (15), retiring President, hands over the applewood
gavel to Dudley L. Simms (26), new Prexy of the Kanawha Valley group. The gavel presented by John J. D.
Preston (09), two years ago, was made from wood of the old apple tree which stood at the edge of the GMS play-
ground early in the century.

INTRAMURAL HOT-SHOTS IN RAPID ACTION—FIRE AND FALL BACK!
Left to right with the Bucket Artists, we find: (A)—Beakes hides the referee’s face with the ball as he gets
ready to shoot, hoping he can get rid of the ball before Bill McAmis connects with that flying tackle ... (B) —
Summers gets ready for an overhead shot as Summers, left, and Clark, right, look on. Also, Pete Harman, with the
glasses, breathes a prayer Summers will miss and so save Co. B from being scored on again. (PS—We’re only kid-
ding, fellows, for we must admit B walked away with the athletic points this year!) . . . (C)—The Waltz of the
Dancing Swans, offered by Summers, Defour, Harman, Zigafoose, and Walther. May I have this next dance, please?
. . . (D)—Looks like Bob Clark is crouched in anguished despair as Starkey hides behind the mob and McAmis
tried to stop somebody, probably Walther, from shooting. Beakes is running the interference.

Have you ever stopped to think what our
lives would be like without any form of music
here at G.M.S., or as far as that goes, at any
school.
I believe the Corps has a more matured taste
for music than any other school. These music
lovers come from as close as Lewisburg and as
far away as Puerto Rico.
Looking at just the popular side for just a
moment, you will find all different kinds of
opinions as to who has the best band and why,
and so forth. For example, there are the classic
lovers, who would rather spend an afternoon
here at school listening to Chopin than going
to town. There is more money spent after al-
lowance day (except for dates) for records than
any other single diversion.
Study hall recall is blown and the first thing
that we do is turn on the phonograph, and the
same thing goes for recess in the morning.
There arc boys trying to imitate anyone from
Krupa on the drums to Ray Anthony on the
trumpet. There are arguments as to who came
into a certain cadet's room and took this or that
record.
We get up in the morning and go to chapel
and the service starts with music. There are
chapel programs put on with music, and when
Saturday night comes along, we are dancing
to music with our best girl. Spring comes along
and our dress parades are conducted with music.
Commencement comes along and the dismissal
is with music. Yes, music plays an important
part at Greenbrier. Have you realized it?
(Courtesy of Green-Briers)
GUESS—These boys slipped to the Post Office between classes, or is it early Sunday? Anyway, they are all alone
as they look hopefully into their boxes. Ready to mail a letter to some girl he met on a basketball trip is Gale Wiley.
Standing up (he'll need a chair to blow the dust out of the box > is Louis Kovash, while Jerry Lee Hamric hopefully
twiddles with the hard-to-work combination of his lower-level P. O. box.

THE GENERAL SEES A BIG GUN
A GENERAL FROM
VIRGINIA
When Brig. Gen. Loyal N. Haynes
visited Greenbrier in November as
part of the Army’s program for su-
pervising ROTC programs in schools,
he dropped into a military science
class being taught by M/Sgt. Harry
B. Stuart. He told the cadets he had
never seen a rifle quite that large but
had been in places where he would
have liked to have had one. The
general is a veteran of both World
Wars, commanded the Second Di-
vision artillery in Korea.
AND
WE GO TO SEE NATURAL BRIDGE
A TRIP TO VIRGINIA
These Hi-Y delegates did
themselves proud at the Na-
tional Convention at Natural
Bridge, Va. We understand
two were lost in a cavern,
three climbed the bridge from
bottom to top and carved
their initials ABOVE the
"G. W.”—while the third one
tore down the bridge to ship
it piece to piece to Tazewell,
Virginia.

Space Cadet Panoz, ready to shoot out on Jet Plane Virus X for the Universe Beyond Mars. Don qualifies here for
the Kiddie Kar Vote.
Second row: (1) Don, Man of the Peepul, surrounded by Admiring Fans. (2) Sentimental Don, here going
after the Feminine Vote, reminisces over That Certain someone while the other cadets, vile wretches they are, give up
the fight and date the College across town. (3) "No Five-o’clock Shadow” Panoz makes his face The Skin You Love
to Touch. He’s lovely, he’s engaged, he uses axle grease.
Bottom row: (1) Atlas Panoz, Shining Shoes, true exponent of the Horatio Alger theme in American Life.
Says Don, Quote, Of course I shine my own shoes. It’s only what any good, pure, 100% American Boy would do. Be-
sses__if I don’t, it’s demerits. Unquote. (2) Stoker Panoz, after the Labor Vote, visits Zig’s domain late at night
to help pour on the heat for his fellow students. This also gets him the Boy Scout Vote. He can’t miss. (3) At 3

Next—Warren Langston, threatening to commit mayhem on the gun (it has weathered worse
situations); Dick Schaffer, thinking up a good reason why his book division drawings are not quite
completed; and John Wheatley, just sitting there taking life easy, enjoying the good Greenbrier
County springtime. (P. S.—Believe it or not, the weather was so mixed up this year there was a
thick fall of snowflakes on Sunday, April 19th.)
Finally—Bill McCue about to bang out a hit—we hope—to score a run to win a game for
The Brier.

MANHOOD
(This poem was written especially for the Brier Patch of 1926 by "America's
best loved poet," Edgar A. Guest. Copyright 1926 by Edgar A. Guest.)
—★—
Boy, write it down for your guidance the whole of your journey
through,
Man may be richer and wiser, but none can be cleaner than you.
Some may be strong in body, the great feats of life they may do,
But even the genius can never be fairer and squarer than you.
You may be weak in your labor, for that is a physical test,
But in all the great virtues of manhood you can equal the greatest
and best.
If it’s said you were cheerful and kindly, if it’s said you were honest
and true,
No more could be told of a monarch, for the best has been spoken
of you.
For honor and truth have no shadings, no differing parts or degrees,
And in courage the humblest can equal the mightiest man that he sees.
You may not be clever or skillful, you may not be strong as the few, ,
But if you’ve the mind to be honest there’s none can be straighter
than you.
