lie strong!
We are not here to play—to dream, to drift.
We ha ve hard work to do and loads to lift.
Shan not the struggle—face it; ’lis God’s gift.
Be strong!
Say not the days are evil. Who’s to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce.—O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s
name.
Be strong!
It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not—fight on! Tomorrow comes the
song.

DEDICATION
It is our privilege to dedicate this
volume of the Brier Patch to a man
who is a gentleman in the truest sense
of the word, an outstanding basketball
coach, and a real friend worth having.
As teacher, officer, and athletic in-
structor he always gives his best and
expects the best from others. One of
his players has said: “I wish I could
play basketball under Coach Morgan
all four years in college—”
Three cheer leaders: Mrs. Morgan, Caroline, and Mike.

ment trophies.
OUR DESIRE
In the pages that follow your annual
staff lias endeavored to present a well
rounded picture of the year at The
Brier.
It is manifestly impossible to cover
every phase of each activity. However,
with our pictures and text as a spring-
board, it is believed that in the years
to come we will be able to remember
many more of the people and things
which have made 1958 a banner year
in our lives.
If you find this to be true, we will
be happy.

SAL UTE
A Distinguished Officer Of The United States Navy
"FATHER OF THE ATOMIC SUBMARINE"
REAR ADMIRAL R. H. RICKOVER
He has charge of the development, design, and application of nuclear power
for the propulsion of vessels of the United States Navy. He is Chief, Naval Reactors
Branch, Division of Reactor Development, United States Atomic Energy Commis-
sion; he also serves as Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Ships for Nuclear Propulsion.
He is responsible for the central station nuclear power plant at Shippingsport,
Pa., the largest in the world built for the generation of power for civilian use. But
his fame does not rest on these achievements alone. A Naval Academy graduate,
class of 1922, the admiral is in the forefront of the fight for emphasis cn sound
educational principles. For his efforts in this good cause, we of the Greenbrier Corps
of Cadets are proud to offer him our ANNUAL SALUTE.
". . . be, more than any other
individual, is responsible for the
rapid development of the nucleat
ship program.”* The NAUTI-
LUS, the SEAWOLF, and- the
SKATE are today proof positive
of his tenacity "to hold to a single
important goal.”
*From citation with Gold Star
presented in lieu of a second
Legion of Merit in July, 1952.
H. G. RICKOVER
REAR ADMIRAL

Navy
Nothing we bestow upon
our children in the way of
material advantages can com-
pare with the gift of a good
education. We often speak of
democratic freedom, and of
course we treasure it. But basic to political freedom is personal independence; and this can exist only
where the mind has been unshackled from ignorance, from dependence on die opinions of others, and
from fear of disagreeable facts. Bombarded as all of us are, all day long, by subtle sloganeers seeking
to convert us to their views, we sorely need minds that have been sharpened by hard intellectual work.
We must know how to dig up our own facts—how to discover truth for ourselves. The person who
has learned to trust only proven facts, who knows how to find and recognize truth, and who has been
trained to decide all issues on the basis of truth and reason—he and he alone is a free man.
In my opinion, the purpose of schools is to help children to develop minds which are free, because no
inner deficiencies or outer pressures can then bar them from truth and, through truth, from inner freedom.
I believe with Francis Bacon that "It is heaven upon earth, to have a man’s mind . . . turn upon the poles
of truth" and this I want for our children.

We may not study and we may skip drill
But we won us the Battle of Col. Joe’s Hill;
We get to Reveille in time for Retreat;
We may skip, but we seldom walk the beat;
We run our share of the school’s Big Deals,
We have our share of the school’s Big Wheels;
On Saturday nights our rooms are still
For all of our men are Over the Hill.
In classes we sleep, in study hall we talk,
Then on Town Leave afternoon we walk;
But all in all, when the year is done,
We will have enjoyed our share of the fun!

SECOND SUCCESSIVE
UNDEFEATED SEASON
Congratulations to Coaches Turley and Taylor
and rhe entire squad!
Greenbrier won 8 games. Everyone concerned
was sorry a bout with the flu made it necessary to
cancel the Baylor trip. Last year GMS broke
Baylor Prep’s long winning streak, and the cadets
hated not to play the Tennessee powerhouse this
fall. However, strictly on comparative scores to
game date—and we admit they mean little if any-
thing—GMS was probably a slight favorite to win
this year also.
Last season the Marshall team tied GMS in the
final few minutes. This year GMS beat Marshall’s
Freshmen 26-13. All in all, the season was an
unqualified success.
GMS has had "undefeated” records in football
in 1906, 1924, 1934, 1936, 1956, and 1957.
Turley played on the 1924 team which tied the
Navy Plebes and won all its other games, and was
coaching the other years except 1906.

1957 VARSITY
FOOTBALL SEASON
C. E. Turley
Head Coach
Another Undefeated Season
Greenbrier extended a winning streak to 17 this fall as
the Fighting Cadets completed their second successive un-
defeated season.
Teddy (The Sheriff) Denby started the scoring for 1957
with a 17-yard jaunt in the first game with only about 3
minutes gone and ended as high scorer with 7 touchdowns for
42 points. As the season progressed, so many boys played
outstanding football it would be unfair to try to name ''out-
standing” players. Probably the biggest win was a 7-0 decision
over a very highly rated Fork Union team.

from Dick Bonney. Dave Tingley went over on a 5-yard plunge, and
Bernie Harris closed the scoring books for the day with a 3-yard dash

In perhaps the most appreciated win of the season, GMS toppled
FUMA from rhe unbeaten ranks by a 7-0 score. The game was a thriller
all the way. GMS scored the first time it got its hands on the ball.
"Moose” DeStefano went across from 5 yards out after a blocked punt
gave GMS the ball near midfield and Denby’s 15-yard run carried to the
5-yard line. Dave Tingley added rhe extra point for insurance. Then the
two teams settled down to play one of the best games ever seen in this
part of rhe woods. Fork Union put on only one real scoring threat, but
Teddy (The Sheriff) Denby went into action and intercepted a pass on
the GMS 5-yard stripe to stop that one cold.

Traditional rival SMA became the fourth team

yard run by the galloping sheriff, Teddy Denby.
Dave Tingley kicked the point. Denby had a big
afternoon against Staunton. The boy from Vir-
ginia set up the second score for GMS with a 74-
yard run before he was angled out of bounds on
the two-yard stripe. Dave Tingley went the rest
of the way for the score and kicked the point.

Rappold, and Dick Bonney each added touch-
downs.
Jim Keatley made perhaps the oddest play of
the 1957 season here or elsewhere when he ran
back a punt all of 5 yards for a touchdown. It
happened like this: a W&L back was rushed as
he attempted to punt from his own 5-yard line;
the ball went high in the air and landed on the
W&L 25; it bounced backwards; everybody chased
the high-bouncing ba
grabbed it on tl\e

MARSHALL COLLEGE FROSH
Greenbrier completed its second straight un-
defeated season by stopping a determined Marshall
College Freshman team by a decisive 26-13 score
on Mathews Field. Marshall was the only team
to tie last year’s undefeated GMS eleven, so the
victory was especially sweet for the Turley-Taylor
coached team.
GMS started the ball rolling with a 15-yard TD
run by speedy Sheriff Denby. The cadets scored
again in the first quarter on a beautiful 12-yard
run by Walt Rappold. Greenbrier made it 20-0
by halftime when Rappold took to the airways
and tossed a 12-yard pass to Johnny Johnston, who
scored his first TD. In the third quarter, Denby
climaxed a 69-yard drive by plunging over from
the 2-yard distance. Thus the Sheriff scored the
first and last touchdowns of a brilliantly successful
season. Marshall fought back gamely, and in the
final period Tags Meredith and Vic Quinet each
scored for the Huntington, W. Va., team, thus
making the final count read 26-13.

NOTES ON THE YEAR
Greenbrier closed out a successful season in brilliant form by sucess-
fully defending its Eastern Preparatory School Invitational Tournament
championship in Fork Union, Virginia. Coach Morgan did a terrific job in
putting his team together and turning out a smoothly working champion-
ship outfit.
SOME STATISTICS
Keith
Weekly
GMS had five starters averaging in double figures, led by John Fleisch-
man with a 20.2 average over a 19-game span. Keith Weekly followed
£b an even 20 point average. Dave Demarest had 17.1 in 14 games.
'alt Rappold hit 10.3 and Jim Young averaged 10.1 in 19 games.
GMS totaled 1737 points to support a 91-4 average against the com-
n£d opposition’s total of 1375 for a 72.8 average. This gave a game
read of 18.6 in favor of GMS. Greenbrier shot .631 at the foul line
mpared to .620 for opponents. Keith Weekly led in this department
with a .820 average. Two other top shooters were Fleischman with .666
and Young, .620. The team made 325 of 515 free throws. Weekly
bagged 87/106, Fleschman netted 72/108, and Young scored 36/58.
The only two teams to defeat our cadets were West Virginia Tech
Freshmen and Staunton Military Academy, both away, and GMS evened
up by beating both teams on our floor. We also made it 2 of 3 over
SMA when we won the tournament finals.

GMS had relatively easy games recording victories Nos. 2 and 3 with
wins of 94-63 over Bluefield College away and 77-40 over the VMI
Freshmen.
WEST VIRGINIA FRESHMEN
GMS made it four in a row with a decisive 73-63 victory over the
WVU Frosh here. The Little Mountaineers had a 28-game winning
streak before they bumped into the Fighting Cadets. GMS had four
men in double figures, led by rhe big 6-6 center, Demarest, with 18 points.
Weekly hit for 14; Ferris, 13; Young, 10. WVU was led by Gene
Slater who scored 13 and Nick Visnic with 12.
Demarest played great ball in controlling both boards as well as
emerging top scorer for the evening. Little Leroy Ferris stole the ball on
many occasions and played a brilliant floor game. His performance,
especially in the hectic fourth quarter, was appreciated by cadet fans who
carried Ferris from the gym on their shoulders.
[ 52 ]
CHRISTMAS
Before the beginning of Christmas Leave of 21 days the cadets disposed
of the Washington & Lee Jayvees in Lexington, Va., 83-49 after trailing
17-16 in the first quarter. Four days after school opened, GMS went on
a rampage to defeat the same W&L team 102-64. This was the first of
five times GMS topped 100 points.
WEST VIRGINIA TECH JV’S
On a cold, snowy day we traveled to Montgomery, W. Va., and suf-
fered a defeat 96-81. All six Golden Bear yearlings scored in double
figures while only three cadets tallied that high. Demarest led our at-
tack with 28, Fleischman scored 18, Keith Weekly made 10. Tech was
hot, we were only warm.
GMS got off to a bad start, trailing 52-34 at halftime. Things didn’t
improve much in the second half as the closest we could get was 10 points
at 74-64
MASSANUTTEN
GMS hit the win column again with a 78-70 win over a keyed-up
MMA five. GMS scoring was topped by roomies Fleischman and Dem-
arest with 17 each. Jim (Wild Man) Young had 13, Walt Rappold hit
for 12. Greenbrier led by only 2 points at halftime and took a big third
quarter rally to move the Fighting Cadets to the top.
WEST VIRGINIA TECH
GMS, wanting revenge badly, had one of its best nights of the season
when Tech came here to try again, won by a 117-90 score. Weekly
had a tremendous evening, scoring 30 points and passing off well. Fleisch-
JOHN
Fleischman
man and Bearcat Young hit for 19 and 18, respectively. Dave Demarest
did another great job on the boards and made 17 points. Rappold played
an exceptionally good floor game.
Showing we meant business right off the bat, GMS jumped off to a
first period 32-19 lead. It was extended to 58-44 at half, and in spite of
all Tech could do GMS led 90-62 at the end of 30 minutes, won going
away. Bob Watson of Tech, from good old So. Charleston, led the at-
tack with 19 points.
MASSANUTTEN
After trailing most of the game, Greenbrier came back with a strong
fourth quarter to pull the victory out of the fire by a score of 102-92.
John Fleischman led the attack with 27 points. Four others were in
double figures: Demarest, 24; Weekly, 21; Rappold, 16; Young, 11.
This was the first of two games on a three-day trip into the Old Dominion.
Greenbrier was destined to split 1-1 on the trip. The next night we
moved to Staunton to play one of the strongest preparatory school tearrw
in the area. '
STAUNTON
GMS suffered its second and final loss of the season when the Hilltop-
pers won 97-93. The winners led 57-44 at halftime, but Greenbrier
came back fast in the second half and almost pulled a successful reverse
on the score. Jim (Wild Man) Young played a great game, taking high
point honors with 23- Fleischman hit for 21, Weekly added 17, and
Rappold made 14—but we were still 4 points short at the end.
Greenbrier beat Bluefield College 114-87 in the next outing, and then
Fork Union came to Lewisburg.

FORK UNION
After trailing 60-48 at the end of the third quarter, The Brier made a
terrific comeback to tie Fork Union at 68-68 and then went ahead on a
goal by Young. Fork Union tied it 70-70 with a goal as the whistle blew
to put the game into our first overtime of the season. In rhe overtime,
Fork Union went ahead by four points, but Jim Young hit a hot streak
on six successive goals, lanky John Fleischman dropped in one, and Young
hit for his fourth goal in the overtime to ice the game 80-74. Young
scored 8 of his 15 points in the overtime. As usual, rhe scoring was well
divided. Weekly scored 26, Fleischman 19, and Rappold 10.
VIRGINIA
Keith Weekly had his biggest scoring spree of the year in Charlottes-
ville, Va., when he totaled 39 points to lead the Fighting Cadets to a 83-74
win over Cavalier Yearlings. A former GMS standout, Jay McKenzie,
who starred for Al Morgan last year, led the losers with 28 points, and
Fleischman scored the same number for The Brier.
In their next outing, GMS defeated the VMI Rats by an 85-68 count.
STAUNTON
Against Staunton in Lewisburg, Greenbrier was out to avenge a defeat,
just as we had wanted so badly to beat Tech to even that count. Green-
brier lost no time getting to work and took a commanding 37-18 first
quarter lead. However, Staunton came back strong and the second quarter
was all in favor of the Hilltoppers. They outscored us 29 to 14 and at
half-time it was GMS 51, SMA 48. They outscored us 18-17 in rhe third
period to cut our lead to only two points. After an even four minutes of
the final period, Greenbrier jumped off to outscore SMA 23-12 and won
91 to 78. Three cadets hit double figures: Fleischman, 32; Weekly,
29; Rappold, 13- Sowers made 7, Demarest added 6, and Young and
Ferris each scored 2 points. Jim Kershaw paced SMA with 24. They
had four men in double figures.
EASTERN PREP SCHOOL

figures were: Keith Weekly, 14; Dave Demarest, 13; Jim Young, 13;
Leroy Ferris, 16; and Walt Rappold, 12.

double figures.

helped a lot, and a 28-20 final period put the iceing on the cake. Dou-
ble figure men for GMS were Fleischman, 27; Demarest, 25; Young, 15,
and Rappold, 12. Weekly counted 9 and Mikeal added 1. Darris,

THE MIGHTY MIDGETS
The Midgets, as usual, had a lot of fun with
their basketball but could not come up with a
winning season. We always have trouble find-
ing opponents in the right age and weight
group for these warriors. However, they played
a lot of basketball in the gymnasium between
teams of their own group, and they acquitted
themselves well in three interscholastic games
The Junior Team representing Boys Home
of Covington, Va., won two games from our
Midgets, each time by only a single basket. It
is easy to see that either game could have gone
either way.
The Midgets a'so lost a real thriller to a good
Frankfort Junior team.
So all in all the Midgets can be proud they
were gcod sports in three close defeats—a total
of 5 points difference in rhe three games!

RIFLE TEAM
This year’s rifle team won second place in the National William Randolph Hearst Rifle Match,
beating all but one essentially military school team, coast-to-coast. The two teams entered by Sgt.
Slenzak placed first and second in scoring in the Army Area in the Hearst Match. Incidentally, our
No. 2 team placed higher than our No. 1 team, a result which happens occasionally.
The plaque will be presented by Col. P. R. Kimpton, Deputy Commander, XX United States
Army Corps, at rhe Graduation Dress Parade on Sunday, June 1.
This beautiful plaque will make an appreciated addition to the others in the GMS collection in the
library.
Wirt Duff, last year's National Individual Marksmanship Champion, was out the entire second term
of school, but the team rose to the challenge and had a most successful season.
Individual members of the No. 2 (winning) team will also receive medals at Commencement.
William Randolph Hearst National Rifle Matches—Greenbrier’s No. 2 team, which placed second
in the nation: Don Boston, Bob Duff, Dick Anderson, Charles Hoffman, Ben Eakle.
Greenbrier’s No. 1 team, which placed second in scoring in the Army Area: Joe Coleburn, Walt
Cosby, Randy Iddings, Wirt Duff, Bill Ruby.
Greenbrier won its pre-Christmas matches, barely squeaking past Oklahoma M. A. 1892 to 1891,
taking its other matches by wide margins. GMS also had a close match with SMA, 1387 to 1380.
GMS had beaten Augusta Military Academy’s fine team 50 points, 1388 to 1338, but the Ft. Defiance,
Va., cadets won the return match by 16 points, 1391 to 1375. The widest margin of victory was the
325-point win over K. M. I.

MEDICAL STAFF
Dr. George L. Lemon
Mrs. Dorothy L. Flynn
Dr. Lemon comes up to school each morning and at
other times if we need him. A Greenbrier graduate
himself, as well as a former Navy man, he knows how
to spot the "gold bricks" and manages to cure most of
them in short order.
Mis. Flynn and Miss Kirkpatrick are the ladies who
put up with calls at the most inconvenient hours from
those of us who are either ill or feel a bit dizzy at the
thought of tomorrow’s hard tests in three subjects.
They furnish pills for all our ills and cheer us up
when we need comforting.
Of course they have been known to get tired of radios
playing late at night when we felt well but were still
sick!
FIRST AID!
Here is a cadet who shall be nameless, but whose
initials are "Doug Pettie." He is entirely surrounded
by busy first-aiders, including not only Dr. Lemon and
Mrs. Flynn but also Mrs. Ridgway, Nurse’s Aide. This
not only resulted in a good action shot for our photog-
rapher but also put Doug back on his feet again in
record time.

Mrs. Nicholas Haddad
Whitesville, West Virginia
Sponsor
Sam Haddad
Sam comes from a small town outside of Charleston, name
of Whitesville. He is the top-kick in B and is very popular
with the boys. Some girls in Charleston think he is the
most, but if you ask him about it he will just blush.
Tom Forbes
This fellow is top-kick in Company A and brags about his
native Keystone State of Pennsylvania. He usually has a
difference of opinion with the Military Department concern-
ing his hair style. Aside from that, he is popular with
everybody at The Brier.

OFFICERS
Sam Haddad ...................................President
Tom Forbes ..............................Vice-President
Leroy Ferris ...................................Secretary
Johnny Johnston ............................Treasurer
Bob Fletcher .............................Sergeant-at-Arms
Leroy Ferris
This old Virginia gentleman, suh, was assigned to monitor E Company and he really
has his hands full—but gets along fine with the younger fry and seems to enjoy his work.
He likes to loaf in the PX where he drinks hot coffee and indulges in hot basketball talk.
Johnny Johnston
You can usually find this B Company platoon sergeant roaming around in his free time
looking for some trouble. He has beaten a track to Greenbrier College. He stars in three
varsity sports. He claims American History is his favorite subject, and often holds lengthy
debates with the teacher.
Bob Fletcher
Bob is a big fellow, big heart, big muscles, from down Winchester, Virginia way—
the Apple Paradise, they call it. He is an A Company man. He has a ready smile and
good fellowship for all. He often gets into those little scrapes that enliven life around The
Brier and barely made it home on Spring Free Week-end.
[ 77 ]
Steve Adkins
"Brack" has done very well for himself the past several
years at The Brier. He is seldom seen down town due to
reasons beyond his control (demerits). When he does get
to town, he goes right on to GCW to see a certain SS. He
plans to go to the University of Texas.
Bill Allman
Bill has gone up the ladder clear to the top—he is Cadet
Major. Last year he was commander of C Company. He
has done a lot for morale-building and is very popular in
the cadet corps. He may take pre-med at Penn State and
follow in the footsteps of his dad.
Don Amick
Don has had 3 years at The Brier, moved from C last
year to BHQ in '58. He is sometimes called "Allman's
Little Helper.” You often see him running around passing
along orders to Ben Cyrus. He says next year he will join
the Marines.
George Baber
George hails from St. Albans, decorates the back stoop
of Co, and is handy with a typewriter. In fact, he is sort
of official ryper-upper for Public Speaking Exams, a re-
munerative sideline occupation. He likes photography and
fights his way into and out of the dark room.
Harold Baisden
He claims the Dorm is the world’s best place to live. He
says you can get away with practically anything after taps.
(We wouldn't know; we live in A.) He belongs to D’s No-
Dating Club, and is a platoon sergeant in the Durable outfit.
Al Baker
Al is a Charter Member of the Lower Suite-of-A-Com-
pany Club which is noted for being very quiet after taps,
never taking the quadrangle apart, and always being on time
for reveille. He has been seen often at The College across
town, usually with a girl named Ann. He is the Pride of
Oak Hill, West Virginia, and the third Baker Boy to make
good at The Brier.
Bob Ball
Robert Nagle Boll is a Suiter of B Co., living in that
suite which always has a lot of surprises, over in the North
Tower. He and Capt. Moore carry on a sort of running
debate, arguing about different points in Solid Geometry.
The captain usually wins. Bob is often seen slaving over
his home work.
John Wade Bell
We never know whether to say "John” or "Wade." He
is a local boy who leads a C platoon. He is seldom seen
over week-ends, and it is rumored that for important busi-
ness you can find him in White Sulphur. You can hear
him leave—note the cool rumble of his muffler as he wakes
up the corps.

[ 78 ]
EAR OF '58
Glenn Bickerstaff
A two-year member of the Band, Bickerstaff also owns
3Zl of Radio Station KDKA. No kidding, he does like
radio work, and has done some of it here; he has also worked
the loud speaker at football games. He is a sports car
enthusiast and probably will drive in the Grand Prix (is
that the name?) some day.
Daniel Boone
Daniel Boone came here when Kentucky was just opening
up, still carries a long rifle. He also reads; in his room, in
study hall, anywhere. He is often taking care of that long
hair and how he gets by without a "short” haircut is one
of the mysteries of the school. It is rumored he belongs
to a black-jacketed Charleston Motorcycle gang.
Elgin Brandes
This fellow was named after a watch. A sergeant in C
Company, he does a good job with military. His notebooks
are filled not only with class notes but also with cartoons.
He has real ability in this line. Brandes was sort of lost
after a certain Lewisburg girl moved to the deep south.
He is known as "Brandossas" at Greek conventions, "Fire-
cracker" at S1PA.
Roy Brewer
"R. M." is a Bermuda Shorts lad from South Charleston
and any time anybody slurs such clothing he will jump to
the front and protect the shorts. If there is something going
on in "Big A," R. M. seems always to be in the middle of it.
Next year he plans to attend Marshall College in Hunt-
ington.
Josef Brookshire
This fellow is a first-year student from Missouri, the
"Show-Mc" State. Sometimes he has to translate English
into Spanish for his roommate, and sometimes Juan Gon-
zales speaks in Spanish and lets our Missouri lad wonder
what it is all about. Brookshire is active in intramural
sports, a good student, and has rolled up a fine record.
Bob Caverlee
This is Caverlee’s second year. He is a non-commissioned
officer in Durable D. He hails from Parkersburg. This
Mountaineer has his troubles like the rest of us in some
classes. He has been seen by spies on the campus of Green-
brier College. He is a quiet, well-liked cadet.
Joe Coleburn
White Sulphur's gift to Greenbrier is here for his fourth
year. Joe has done very well for himself and others. He
handles those Junior Company cadets with commendable
tact. He is one of the state's best young amateur golfers, and
he is also a hot-shot on our trophy-winning rifle team. The
girls do not run away when Joe drops by.
Bill Cook
This pleasant-faced gentleman comes from the Buckeye
State of Ohio. He likes to talk about that hot little Chewy
he has at home. Bill is occasionally seen over at Greenbrier
College where his amiable disposition and likeable smile
evidently give him a high rating.
[ 79 ]
James Cosby
We call him "Walt." He is another hot-shot sharpshooter
on our winning rifle team, and on occasion was high scorer
in interscholastic matches. He is a second lieutenant. He
has been known to have trouble with study hall students
who took Caesar too literally when that Latin gentleman
scholar exclaimed: "The die is cast!” Walt is another White
Sulphur Springs dandy.
Ben Cyrus
Here is that low man on the totem pole at BHQ, who
ends up doing the work of everybody else. Ben is a like-
able fellow who did yeoman service on this yearbook, always
knowing where the adviser’s glasses, ruler, pencil, and
engraving order sheets have been put down. He is a good
student with bulldog tenacity once he gets an idea. He has
a good sense of humor.
Tony Delorso
Tony is proud of his position as a squad leader in Able
A Company. He is a big spark in the morale of the outfit
and works hard at making A stand for Best—a thing A
claims can be done in spite of the dictionary. He says he
will attend WVU next year and study pre dental work. The
Yanks are coming.
Dave Demarest
This boy from New Joisey isn’t always a quiet little
violet but has been known to raise the roof for laughs. He
was an outstanding player on our championship court team.
Another Co. A man, Dave also has an eye for beauty, as
witness the Maids of Honor section.
Ted Denby
Teddy Denby, sometimes called "The Sheriff," runs his
own court of law. He is from that wonderful sun-kissed
state of Virginia. His home town is a little place named
Saltville. Ted scored the first and last TD's in varsity foot-
ball and many more in-between. He should star in the
college game. He numbers his friends by the score.
George DeStefano
This B Company squad leader is a popular cadet with
his fellows. He was another outstanding football player on
our undefeated eleven. He plans on becoming a dentist one
of these days. He rooms with an officer and sometimes
enjoys late study privileges—if the faculty read this, don’t
let on we told you.
Jim Douglas
This fellow, from the Golden Triangle City of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, never stops raising a ruckus. He is a three-
time member of one of our mcost exclusive unofficial clubs.
Even with all this tracking around, Jim succeeds in finding
the time to make good grades—because he has learned not
to trifle when he really wants to study. The Big Noise of
Durable D.
Bob Duff
Bob leads a D platoon. He, too, has never forgotten how
to trifle, although he has also learned how to study. Bob
made the varsity rifle team this year, probably just to prove
shorp-shooting runs in his family. He is a bit of a tactician,
and if you don’t watch out he will work you around to his
way of thinking. He likes to fish.
SENIORS
[ 80 ]
YEAR
OF '58
Wirt Duff
"When you’ve said ’Wirt Duff—you've said enough!”
Wirt is a likeable fellow who, in his time, has made trifling
an art and a science. He was national individual champion
in liflery last year, wrapped a car around itself in Decem-
ber so missed our Second Term in ’58. He is a good fisher-
man, too. He probably rates the tag: 'Old Man Green-
brier" for his years here.
Ben Eakle
This fellow hails from Sutton, West Virginia. He has
helped beat out the music in the Band for a couple of years
now, and is one who knows where that Band Room is in
the Dorm—the amusement palace for our musicians. Eakle
is a good Mountaineer, proud of it, and West Virginia may
well be proud of him.
Steve Epperly
This fellow is another B man who manages to find the
center of anything which is going on. A Bluefield, West
Virginia, cadet, he thinks that is the greatest. Every now
and then you will find him over at the girls’ college—that
is, unless he is on the beat for some misunderstanding be-
tween himself and Cmdr. Dosier.
"Tex” Fullerton
Tex, who hails from Ohio, is D’s top-kick. You often
hear him yelling and screaming at the boys in the Second
Day Study Hall. His room is a popular place after NSH for
swapping tales of their hectic experiences at The Brier.
Sounds like Tex is a born Mexican Athlete.
Dick Given
Dick is a squad leader in B Company. He has been known
to trifle on occasion, like most good Charlestonians, and has
walked out his fair time on our never-ending beat. A good
friend told us Dick's hobby was collecting nuts and bolts
out of the potato masher.
Paul Gladwell
Paul Gladwell, as Editor-in-Chief, is responsible for all
errors in this book. (Sorry, Paul, but somebody has to take
the blame!) Of course there AREN’T any errors, so that is
OK too. Paul has been going across town a bit recently.
He likes his fun, is proud of his fun-loving Company C,
and they are proud of their commander. He has developed
into a serious student, hopes to carve out a career in the
Navy.
Frank Gregg
Frank adds to the spice of life around The Brier. He is
another of the boys from that great town of Pittsburgh, is
a platoon leader in A, and is one of two boys seen a lot
with another S. S. but he seems to enjoy it. Frank has
been up in rank a few times. He helped with many of these
writeups so we won’t reveal any of his deep secrets here.
He enjoys life.
Jerry Harrison
Another LLL from White Sulphur Springs, he is a well
established Band member. To hear Jerry tell it, the Band
is the greatest. We hear he spends few weekends at home
but likes Franklin, and we don't mean Ben. How about it,
Jerry? He is aiming to be a Ga. Tech Rambling Wreck
next year.
[ 81 ]
Bill Haslam
Bill is head man in the Color Guard and does a very
good job carrying the colors. As a second year cadet, he has
made a fine record. For some reason, he has never suc-
cumbed to the wiles of the College, but dates in town. He
has a big grin and red hair. Nuf sed!
Charles Heilman
This fellow from Ripley has been around long enough
to know all the ropes at The Brier. He plays the cymbals
in the band, and claims it is definitely NOT depressing to
wait and wait and wait and then—clan-n-n-g!—that one
big crash! He is a quiet, studious fellow, but enjoys fun in
its place—and he is True to the Girl Back Home.
Charles Hoffman
"Chuck” Hoffman, from the town no one can pronounce
(Try it yourself: Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio), is top banana on
the newspaper staff. As such, he has a time trying to get
in copy, send out Queen of The Brier photos, and look after
Capt. Perrow. A squad leader in Co. D, he is an efficient
cadet with friends all over The Brier.
Randolph Hyatt
This cowboy from Wyoming (Ohio) lives quietly in Co.
C, goes quietly to the picture show, and walks quietly
through the halls. He likes to pass the football around on
the athletic field, to read, and to take life in easy fashion.
He makes very good grades; if this makes him exert himself
we haven’t been there.
Randy Iddings
This second year cadet, a squad leader in Co. C, makes
excellent grades all the time. He has trouble with his room-
mate now and then, but otherwise gets along in great style.
He is a member of our trophy-winning rifle team and does
a good all-around job.
Richard Johnson
Richard Ray Johnson came up from the Capitol City of
the Mountain State and lived with us parr of the year before
taking himself back to the City of the Narrow Streets and
Wide Alleys. (You Charlestonians—we didn't say that;
"Duke" Ridgley originated the description.) He played
varsity football, made many friends with that wide grin
of his and his happy ways.
Emory Jones
"Punch" started out this year as a guide in Company C
and has advanced to platoon sergeant. He gets along well
with all. He enjoys taking over as top-kick in the first
sergeant's absence. This is his third year at The Brier. He
plans to become a Wahoo at the University of Virginia
next year.
Tom Jones
This is a long tall drink-of-water type of fellow, good
natured and easy to get along with all the time. He rooms
with Bob Duff, and they have spent a lot of time (a) study-
ing and (b) figuring how to get out of studying, not neces-
sarily in that order. Tom and Bob both live in famous Elk
View, West Virginia. He is an Isaak Walton in the spring
and summer. Just before GI he found his hair had turned
black. How come, Tommy?
vO SENIORS
[ 82 ]
YEAR OF '58
Bill Keene
"Major” is a squad leader in C Company. He can sit
for hours and talk about Norfolk, Virginia, and other minor
subjects. They say he gets this talking ability from his
uncle. Bill gets along well with everybody except when he
and his roommate disagree; then he dishes out the black
eyes. He plans to attend Randolph Macon next fall.
Dick Knoble
Dick is a five-year cadet who took a year-long vacation
in the middle of his Brier career. The old tug of The Brier
brought him back! Dick dates a certain town girl and
seems to be on time regularly for the M. Y. F. meetings.
He is a smooth dancer, and at times is the hit of the
Rec Room.
Ronald McCall
This third-year Brierite is another member in good stand-
ing of our ROTC Band. He is an Owls Club member and
evidently when he burns the midnight oil it is for a good
reason. Ron has also made a line military record at The
Brier.
Richard McClung
This fellow lives in Frankfort, enjoys being a "Lewisburg
Leisure Lover." When he isn’t practicing baseball for Coach
Taylor's nine he is usually driving Capt. Moore's truck,
slipping cadets back to school. It is said Richard’s secret
desire is to make the military life his career.
Bill McCurry
Bill hails from the coal country up around Quinwood
way, travels there frequently on weekends to escape the
rigors of military life. This is his fourth year in the corps.
His biggest job is to keep tabs on his roommate, and vice
versa. He likes letter writing daily, especially to Beckley.
Bill plans to be another U. of Virginia Wahoo next year.
Phil McLaughlin
Phil is a squad leader in D Company. A hard worker in
and out of school, this red-head may often be seen down
town working in the A. & P. or Krogers. But with it all,
this Leisure Lover enjoys his fun. He likes to spend week-
ends in Charleston or Marlinton, and trusts his luck in his
powerful '39 Ford which regularly roars into the parking
lot at chapel call.
Jim Mahl
Jim is a platoon sergeant in Company A. He is a good
competitor in a wide range of intramural sports. He writes
jokes for the paper. He is a regular over at Greenbrier Col-
lege. In short, Jim is a popular cadet who doesn't waste too
much time on the beat and seems to enjoy life.
Al M1KEAL
Al is from down on the Virginia-Tennessee border, in
Bristol. He is one of the two popular Junior Company
advisers. He played varsity football, basketball, and base-
ball, and did not let injuries stop him from starring. Al is
an easy-going fellow, easy to get along with—as a certain
Lewisburg girl will readily agree.
[ 83 ]
Joe Morrison
Joe comes up from Ronceverte to be with the Brierites.
He graces the A Company ranks. Joe is a studious, quiet
fellow whom everyone likes and if he has any trifling habits
they must take effect in Ronceverte, for around here he is
known as a cadet who does what he is supposed to do and
pulls down good grades.
Gordon Mullins
Mullins from Matoaka (sounds like a popular song,
doesn’t it?) belongs to that exclusive club of fellows who
thiow B Company's oranges into the quadrangle. He walks
the beat occasionally just for his health. He is well liked
around the Brier, never seen at Greenbrier College—at
least, as far as we can find out.
Daniel Myers
Dan Myers came to us from West Virginia's Biggest City
—Huntington on the Kanawha. He must like going on duty,
because you see him there so often. He stars in physics and
in Major Keene’s "Public Sleeping.” Dan is a good student
and is also very "military-minded."
Duncan Parkinson
He raises cane occasionally, hails from fabulous Pitts-
burgh, (The Academic Editor lives there too) is fast on
the basketball court—made the varsity this year—and gets
around every place. He is a popular cadet who makes
friends easily, not .only here but also at; Greenbrier College
ENN
D Company's "Joe Cadet" is a genera
Joe. He makes good grades, and that isn't easy in Major
Jack’s "curved" Chemistry Class. Bob is one of our out-
standing athletes and helped the Brier teams in varsity
football. Bob is definitely not the "bad penny" of legendary
lore.
Wyndham Price
We asked about this genial senior and were told he is
Drum Major, so wears a big hat; he is on the rifle team, so
pulls triggers. He dates at GCW, is active in many clubs,
and all in all he manages to keep eternally busy. He helped
that band do all right again this year.
Dick Reeser
Dick left us at mid-year because, he said, he "liked the
life of the outside world." Dick was the type who enjoyed
tearing off the lid. We have heard amazing reports of his
exploits since he left us. Good luck, Dick!
Vic Robinson
This A Company man enjoys varsity track practice and
performance. He is a quiet fellow, well liked by all. Vic
also makes good grades. We understand he wants to be an
F. B. I. investigator, so let’s be careful around Vic!
SENIORS

YEAR OF '58
Ed Robinson
Ed is a card shark from the Buckeye State, where we
understand he is also mighty popular with the ladies—or
is it the lady? He is one of our up and coming Sam
Sneads. Ed is a devout Yankee and at times feels he is in
the midst of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army.
George Runner
One could write quite a book about George. He is a
collector of glassware. He also has quite a collection of old
stripes. He wants to study dramatics so he can be a good
criminal lawyer and he stars with the girls by practicing
his acting. If we get nabbed, we’ll call on lawyer George.
James Schad
Jim is a good bugler, and we forgive him for waking us
up too early. He is a quiet sort of fellow, friendly, nice to
be around, and has a good sense of humor. He skips the
ladies around here, generally speaking. He has fun with
definitions in Col. Moore’s solid geometry class.
Richard Smith
Dick Smith, a tall drink of water from Dayton, was a
loyal member of the Band and last year had the Best Drilled
Squad. He was popular with the fair sex as well as his
fellows, did his share of trifling, and up and left us in the
middle of the year. We missed you, Dick.
James Steen
Jim is our weight lifter and spends a lot of time there;
our candidate for Mr. America. He likes basketball, tennis,
and other sports, makes very good grades, and all in all
seems to live the full life. He is one who made the long
trip from Private to Sergeant First Class in one year.
Thomas Stepp
Tom is the fellow who is a "Take charge guy” in baseball,
doing a tine job as catcher on the varsity. He also played
football and basketball, saved enough energy over for water
battles and general rough-housing, and seems generally to
have a pretty good time at The Brier.
Samuel Straus
Sam comes from Richmond on the James. He began
taking pictures the day he arrived at Greenbrier, and is
probably still snapping them at Commencement. Many
of his pictures are in this Brier Patch. He has had a busy
year at The Brier.
[ 85 ]
Dave Tingley
This Dorm Demon dates a little blonde over at Green-
brier College when he is not too busy with studies or ath-
letics. Our picture editor, Dick Salsitz, claims he will always
remember the well-liked Dave beating the daylights out of
him daily. "How do you spell ’Sincerely’?’’
John Todd
This fellow knows at least a dozen ways to get to Quin-
wood on weekends, all of them secret. He has been around
here for many years, gives his heart and soul to the Green-
brier Band, always plays on or pulls hard for band team
in intramural sports, and will some day be a dignified
Doctor of Medicine.
Robert Villanueva
Here is one of our favorite senors from Puerto Rico.
A member of the lower "C” Suite, where they get away with
moider, this corporal insists he will turn Mustang and
attend the University of Texas next year. We think maybe
a Texan at GCW may be partially responsible. Bob is well
liked by all at the Brier.
Richard Wead
This neat, efficient squad leader is a good sergeant of the
guard. He is the only fellow in school who wears a size 14
shoe and size 12 collar. We think he would be a big
success across town but he must be true to someone back
home in Xenia, Ohio. His future plans include the study
of law.
Alex Whitaker
Al hopes to attend a service academy. He is an alumnus
of Camp Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca and has made a good record at
The Brier. He can argue a point to a fare-ye-weli. He spent
a lost weekend in Washington, taking Exams and seeing
little of the Capitol except test papers. He and the Military
Dept, have had their moments about certain techniques.
Dave Whittington
Here is the quietest man in Loud D Company. He spends
a lot of time bent over those text books and has never been
seen without an excellent shoe shine. Our picture editor,
Salsitz, who is most helpful with inside information on
Seniors, insists Dave’s food packages are the most and the
best.
Carl Wright
This Jerseyite moved to Lewisburg a couple years ago. He
has a good sense of humor, played good Jayvee football, is
often seen skidding around corners on his motorcycle, and
throws little parties on the Friday nights of Free Week-ends,
usually before College Boards. He is such a good student
he made the OWLS.
Gennis Zicafoose
This man with the bull-horn voice loves to take charge
of Day Study Hall. He is still hunting for a lost finger.
His pride and joy is that lirtle green Ford. He is often
found during NSH looking for smokes, sometimes trades
platoons with Baisden. This Lewisburg Leisure Lover is a
good man.

We Have
Pride In Our Historical Heritage
THE ORIGINAL "OLD BRICK ACADEMY"—built by Dr. John
Mcllhcnney prior to 1812—
From this humble beginning have come both Greenbrier Military
School and Greenbrier College.
0^/S EARLY as 1742 John Peter
Salley, with Charles St. Clair,
John Howard, and his son, Josiah
Howard, made a trip from their
heme 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 rhe first
white men to see the creek which
runs beside 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 build'ng Fort Savanah in
the "Big Levels.”
Two of the boldest massacres committed by Indians were led by Chief Cornstalk, of the
Shawnees, who Jed a band of seme 60 tribesmen ;n:o the county in 1763. They killed the settlers nt
Muddy Creek on June 26. The next day they killed all but one of the men, Conrod Yolkum, at the
Clendenin settlement near what is now Lewisburg. A small party then went to Carr’s Creek, Rock-
bridge County, Va., on whar was the last Indian raid east of the Alleghen'cs.
The Old Lewisburg Academy
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 part: . . . "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.
[ 142 ]
The old academy building fronted cast, 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
rhe 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 military 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
positions 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 1S37. The two wings are
of later origin, but the central part of this building is the original.

WORSING'S Revised Qreen Book
(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 shining 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 clas-
sical. 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.
Drill: When at drill try to do as many things wrong as possible, such as harmlessly getting and knocking his rifle
out of his buddy’s hand and into the mud; or if doing a column movement with a rifle on your shoulder, try to hit the
boy behind you with the muzzle. The sound of a rifle connecting with a hollow skull is a mellow ring. If the boy be-
hind you doesn’t take it so good naturedly, merely haul off and good naturedly paste him with the butt of the rifle. This
is liable to produce bloody results, so have a band-aid ready.
New Cadets: If a new Cadet should happen to ask you how to get to a certain place, kindly lead him in the opposite
direction from where he wants to get to. After you have misled him you are permitted to laugh.
Adtice to First Sgts.: When standing in position so that the platoons can form on you, you can by a quick decisive
movement pile the platoons on each other.
Conduct in Barracks: Your free time in barracks is probably your best time because it offers so many different varieties
of entertainment such as water traps, door blocks and others.
When you are going to set a water trap don't be usual and use water in it; proceed with the following formula. One
part ink (indelible), one part acid, and one part water. This offers entertainment which is usually much different as to
the results which are obtained from regular water.
When blocking the door don't merely place objects behind it; go about it scientifically with such ingenious devices
as lock jammers, keys and rope and screw drivers. When the door knob is taken off and the lock is locked from the
outside and a rope is tied to the door, it is utterly impossible to open it.
If you are extremely jealous of a certain person this ailment can be remedied quite easily. If he is better looking
than you, a good going over with a baseball bat will settle this, or if he is smarter than you a brain operation will probably
suffice.
Answering Reports: When answering reports do not answer them ready to take your medicine; be prepared to put
up an argument. If you get demerits for dirt under radiator, claim it wasn’t your radiator, say your roommate bought a
new radiator when you weren't looking, or say he gathered dust and put it under your radiator purposely, so that you would
get demerits, or if this doesn't work say you were physically unable to sweep under the radiator because of intense
heat, or plead mental disability or uncoordination, say you are so uncoordinated that you don’t know which end of a
broom is which, plead insanity or say you're near sighted; but never, oh never give in.
Permission: When attempting to get permission from the O.D. to get a drink of water you proceed in the following
Elgin Brandes accepts the Charleston Press Club plaque
from Mr. Brentz Thompson, Club President, at S1PA.
manner: Crawl on the stoop just as the O.D. is approaching
and plead for water; remember to scarcely be heard; a bit of
cotton around the mouth will produce the desired effect of
foam.
Reporting: When reporting to the military office you
will go in and yell at the top of your lungs the following formal
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 cigarette
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 12:15 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 yourself
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.
