DEDICATION
It is our privilege to dedicate this volume of The Brier
Patch to a man who has served us sincerely and unselfishly.
He has always taken a sincere interest in the cadet corps
as a whole and as individuals. He has gone on hikes with
us, given us advice when we were in need of it, and done
many other things for which we will remember him. Before
coming to Greenbrier, he spent many rigorous tours of
overseas duty, and he has never since failed to subject him-
self to the rigid self-discipline to which he has been ac-
customed.
For this and many other reasons we are proud to dedicate
the ’59 Brier Patch to
Charles C. Ellett
Major, U. S. A.
Officer and Gentleman
Major Ellett has served as Professor of
Military Science and Tactics at Greenbrier
Military School for the past three years.
IUE SALUTE
"The United States entered the space age at 10:48 P.M.,
Eastern Standard Time, 31 January 1958, when the Army's
EXPLORER I soared skyward from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Seven minutes late the Free World's first satellite was in orbit.
"On 8 November 1957, the Army was ordered to prepare
for a satellite launching as part of the United States contribu-
tion to the International Geophysical Year. Just 84 days later
EXPLORER I went into orbit.
"The platform in space, the world-wide communications re-
lay stations far out and untroubled, the perfect weather fore-
cast and the possibility of weather control, and finally, the
unfolding knowledge of the universe beyond the stars—all
challenge man to continue his exploration."
—Progress 58—United States Army Reports.
The Brier Patch is proud to salute the man who is doing so
much to make dreams a reality—
DR. IDEHRRER UOfl BRflUR
"Dr. von Brann has asked me to tell yon, and through
yon to tell the cadets, that he is flattered to be selected
for the 'salute' in yonr yearbook.”
(Letter dated 1 May 19591

Dr. is Director,
Army BaHistic Missile
Agency, Redstone Arsenal,
1952; Space Medicine,
1952; Across the Space Fron-
tier, 1952; Conquest of the Moon, 1953; the Exploration of
Mars, 1 956.
It is quite fitting, and definitely a twentieth -century touch,
that his clubs, as listed in Who's Who, include EXPLORERS
(NYC).
He is considered the foremost rocket engineer in the world
today; a specialist in rocket design, rocket controls, development
of large liquid fuel rockets and rocket power plants for rocket
planes, guided missiles; recipient of the Distinguished Civilian
Service Award, Department of Defense, 1957.

SPOnSOR OF THE 1959 BRIER PATCH
[ 6 ]
This is The Brier as you will remember
it . . .
The staff has endeavored to present a
comprehensive study of the various ac-
tivities in which we as cadets partici-
pate. It is, of course, impossible to attain
perfection with such a goal as this, but
we have tried to do our best. If, in the
years that follow, you can glance through
this copy of the '59 Brier Patch and have
the material contained herein call to
mind many other events not pictured,
we will have realized our ambition.

CLASS OFFICERS
Owen Carney.....................President
His first year he won a top Junior Company
award. His last year he is Cadet Major. In between,
he occasionally conducts tours of the plant for
visiting grade school girls! All in all, Owen has
had a remarkably successful career at The Brier,
and his sterling character and friendly personality
will always win him many friends.
Pete Higinbotham
Pete came to us in 1955 from Fairmont, climbed
the ladder of success, and fell off into the first
platoon of Company B, which is now under his
capable command. He is one of the few cadets
remaining faithful to rhe "chick” back home. This
boy has many pastimes we will remember him by.
George Higinbotham...........Vice-president
Reid Anderson......................Secretary
Gordon Mullens....................Treasurer
Carlos Morrison............Serge ant-at-Arms
Reid Anderson
Here is another Big - Oak - Hills - from - Little-
Acorns-Go booster—he and Amick think their
home town is tops. In three years he became a
Co. B platoon leader; this year he is in command
of Co. C. We often see this fellow cutting out the
lights and showers after taps. "Howdy” is a mem-
ber of many clubs and everybody’s friend.
Gordon Mullins
"Moon” is a guide in Big B this year. A genius
from Matoaka, W. Va., wherever that strangely
named town is, Moon can hook up more electrical
connections in his unique room than von Braun
has Hying missiles. He will doubtless end up as
talker for a carnival. He was a star in English III
for one term.
Carlos Morrison
"Curley” has been at The Brier off and on for
four years. He was once a stalwart in Co. E. Now
he is its hard-working co-adviser. He is a fellow
■we will always remember, well known for his
;athletic ability, good grades, fine character, and
■ girls. He is a "Fats” domino fan. His muscle and
Iknow-how were helpful in basketball, and he is
:a good all-round cadet.
[ 27 ]
TOM ALIFF
This D Co. corporal has
been with us two years. He
got that nickname of "Ape”
not because of his looks but
because of that superhuman
strength he displays when
lifting weights and in ath-
letic competition. He is a
Jayvee football and basket-
ball star, and his ability and
enthusiasm have helped
Brier teams a-plenty.
DON AMICK
In three years Don made
Battalion Adjutant; in four,
company commander of A.
He takes part in school
and even other outside ac-
tivities. He has been strol-
ling on the stoop wearing
a black coat with heavy
shoulder pads. He has also
spent a lot of EXTRA time
on our campus when some
people would have been
loafing down town.
GEORGE ANDERSON
This Pennsylvanian from
Pittsburgh came to us after
Christmas, as a sort of extra-
gift to The Brier from Santa
Claus. We are told he
studies faithfully. However,
George also finds time to
walk for his health, like
most of us. He has many
reasons, all unacceptable, for
being late for formations,
and will always make
friends and enjoy living.
RICHARD ANDERSON
This gift from C Co. to
the rifle team is a Golden
Triangle City citizen from
Penna. He has scored a big
success on the rille team the
past few years. He is often
found in the auditorium
playing some hot bars on the
piano. He has done his
share of trifling at the Brier,
is a popular fellow who
enjoys life and is a friend to
all.
JOHN BENJAMIN
Let us introduce you to
one of the best trumpet play-
ers The Brier has seen in
many a year. He and Wil-
son can really play those
trumpets. He enjoyed espe-
cially the trip to The Green-
brier Hotel to greet Lion
Pres. Dudley Simms, a
former cadet—as this came
just about the time of an
early morning reception for
crumpets and cake. John
likes to joke around, sings in
the choir, and gets plenty
of chicken FREE at Eagle's
Nest.
TOM BERRYHILL
This fellow doesn’t hesi-
tate to do his duty with that
stick sheet, but withal has
a good time. He is Exec.
Officer of the Band. This
red head will eventually
teach Oscar Murray to
dance. In three years he has
helped many clubs and or-
ganizations with his mem-
bership—and he also "goes
steady" at the College across
town. He is a "regular guy"
who will be greatly missed
at The Brier.
BRIAN BORGH
Brian leads a D Company
platoon in fine style. He is
interested in just about
everything The Brier has to
offer. His academic record
over a four year period has
been excellent. Brian is a
great sports lover, especially
enjoys basketball and tennis.
Brian has excelled in aca-
demic, athletic, and social
activities, and has picked up
his share of demerits. He
has high hopes of going to
The Point next year.
JIM BOSO
Jim is a modest fellow of
whom the band is proud.
During his three busy years
at The Brier Jim has been
quite active in intramural
sports. He has helped win
many awards and honors at
the Apple Blossom Festival
and elsewhere for our ROTC
Cadet Band. Jim has had
his share of troubles and
fun, both including espe-
cially parties after taps. He
struts handsomely as our
top-flight drum major at
parades.

Don Boston, another
Buckeye, has been known to
stay right here on campus
for days at a time due to
his great love for the Brier.
Don, it was just in the
cards, that's all. He has
done excellent work as
editor of the paper and man-
aged to stay up after taps

who likes to have parties
after taps. He has also been
a busy participant in Intra-
mural Sports.

Company, has really worked
this year to gain good
grades. Butch has been a
part of A Company for four

ways be found working with

can win the inspection.
WALTER COSBY
Walt, as he is called, is
one of the sharpshooters on
our rifle team. As a com-
pany commander of "E”
Company, he has really done
a good job helping all the

problems. Walt has many
friends and especially in
second period day study hall.
Walt is one of the day
cadets, keeps the golf course
hot at White Sulphur
Springs.
ED CRUIKSHANK
Eddie is "A" company's
track star. This is his second
year at the Brier and he is
a squad leader in the first
platoon. Always when there
is some mischievous prank
going on, Eddie seems to be
there. Ed is planning to go
to the University of West
Virginia, where he will
study medicine.
MIKE CURTIS
Mike, who hails from the
great state of Ohio, is in
durable "D" Company. This
is Mike's second year at the
Brier and in this time, he

friendships. He is very well
known at the college and
recently has been seen dat-
ing a certain town girl. Mike
hopes to return to the Brier
next year.
BILL DURHAM
Bill, a two year boy, is
another loyal subject of rhe
Band. During his stay hete
at the Brier, he has helped
the Band win many honors
and awards. Bill has seen
his share of fun and trouble
here at school. He especially
likes to have parties after
taps. He enjoyed the April
trip to Winchester, Va.
MARLEY E1PPERT
Here only a little over a
year, this Clevelander is al-
ready a squad leader. He is
an Owls Club member and
also belongs to many other
organizations. He likes to
have a lot of fun, yet lie
always manages to get by
with his fun without picking
up demerits. It's a gift!
Write in, folks, for free di-
rections.
[ 29 ]
LARRY EVANS
This is Larry’s first year at
the Brier. He is in durable
"D” Company and really
likes to have fun down in
the hall. (Just ask any
sergeant of the guard.; Dur-
ing his first year here at
school, he has made many
friends. Larry is very inter-
ested in agriculture. He will
probably get rich with the
Soil Bank.
JOHN FATHERREE
John hails from the deep
south. While here at school,
he has been known for hav-
ing fun and getting into
trouble. His grades over
the period of time he has
been here, have been good.
John has many friends here
at school, and especially one
Trig, teacher. John hopes to
go to The Point next year.
BOB FORTUNE
Bob is known for many
things in "A” Company. He
leads a platoon, is one of
the track stars, and is known
for a general good time.
Whenever there is any prac-
tical joke going on, Bob is
usually there doing his
share. Bob is another one of
those boys who is always
seen over at the college.
DICK GIVEN
Dick has been quite popu-
lar with the boys in "Big
B” for three years. He has
served well as a platoon
sergeant this year. He is
best known for his practical
jokes and his love of the
Commandant. Dick makes
his home in Charleston and
hopes to attend the Citadel
next year.
DICK GRAHAM
Dick made a hit as a star
on the football team early
in the year, and has stayed
right on top since then. As
a struggling senior should,
he has kept a smile and
helped to clear up foggy days
for many of us. Dick boasts
freely that he is an excellent
fighter. He was on four
intramural sports teams.
ALAN HADLEY
"Butch" has served faith-
fully as the commander of
"B" Company for the past
rwo years. In his six years
at the Brier' he has been a
valuable part of nearly every
organization. He has always
been fond of the College.
His achievement directory
speaks for itself — he has
won in everything from
football to chess.
BOB HERMAN
For three years Bob has
faithfully participated in
track events. He is recog-
nized by his class mates as
a well-rounded, hard work-
ing student that can throw a
curve into any math problem
or quote philosophy. Bob is
truly a credit to his home,
Dayton, Ohio. He is good
at both track and publica-
tions work.
GEORGE HUMPHREY
As a first year boy, George
has done quite well. He
started out the year by
starring in the backfield on

This staunch Ohioan from
Wyoming, Ohio, has attend-
ed the 'Brier’ for two years.

pany this year to take over
the position of platoon

popularity won the Class
Orator honors hands down.
JACK KEISER
For five hard years Jack
has labored at the ’Brier.’
He did a fine job as business
manager for the annual two
years. His greatest successes
seem to be at the College.
Unfortunately he met with
conflicting opinions spring
free week end, and he was
unable to complete the year.
DON KURTZ
As one of the biggest
seniors this year, Don
swings a great deal of weight
around "B" stoop. He started
the year on the varsity foot-
ball team, and ended putting
the shot for the track team.
Well able to get along with
everyone, Don is well
known as an interesting con-
versationalist.
BOB LAVIN
Bob is popular with
everyone in the corps. He
has a fine three-year record.
Bob has always been an ac-
tive member of intramural
sports teams, and says
basketball is his favorite.
His friends say that he has
gypsy blood in him because
he can tell your fortune with
the cards.
SAM LITTON

Salem, Virginia, with knee
trouble that prevented his
playing football, helped the
coaches train the J a y v e e

at the College across town.
Sam has a fine sense of
humor, is always in a jovial
mood, and leads a happy and
worthwhile life.

a mistake in the varsity
basketball scorebook.

Co. B. Huntington can now
take a bow for two famous
citizens, at least — McVay
and Dagmar. He is one of
our varsity baseball pitchers.
He is a good, steady student
and is popular with all the
cadets. There is a debate
raging as to whether
"Speedy” keeps off the beat
because he obeys the rules or
because he is too lazy to do
anything to make him walk!
PHILLIP MANKER
This good-looking ser-
geant from Sr. Albans, a big
city near Charleston, W. Va.,
is popular with the men in
D Company. He is a quiet
fellow most of the time, and
had no trouble earning those
coveted March Privileges.
His father is the celebrated
writer, William Faulkner, so
Phil is expected to make 100
in English. He is a real
shark at chess.
JORGE MARTINEZ
This is one of our Cuban
cadets who is said to be
losing lots of weight because
of constant exercise traveling
to G. C. W. A sergeant in
Capable C, he is a quiet,
well-mannered fellow. Jorge
will admit under pressure
he does very well with
Castro tactics, so this like-
able fellow is popular with
everyone except just maybe
a few beat walkers.
MEL MENEAR
This cadet with the musi-
cal name is an Ex-Mountain-
eer who now lives in Alex-
andria, Va. He is the big
boy in Band with the bass
horn. He is a good MST
student who practices his
knowledge of tactics at
G. C. W. He is a real friend-
ly fellow, a wheel in the
band, and one of our stu-
dents who gets down to
work and studies hard.
LELAND METCALF, JR.
"Butch" Metcalf hails
from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
and Orlando, Florida. Fie
was a corporal in C Com-
pany who kept off the beat
and did a good job until he
decided Florida suntan,
orange juice, and bathing
beauties were calling too
loud to be denied. As you
can see, he fleshed a friendly
smile, and we hated to lose
Leland.
LAMBERT MILLER
This Falls Church Vir-
ginian played varsity foot-
ball. Lantie throws his
weights around—plural, that
is — and can "jerk" 230
pounds according to rumor
around A Company. So
don’t get rambunctious,
hear! He sits near the door
in English IV just to play
safe and his friends say he
belongs on the debating
team.
TOM MORRIS
Tom is one of our popu-
lar Lewisburg Leisure
Lovers. He dresses smartly,
drives his own ten-cylinder
Cadillac to school, and has
that LLL gift of helping to
hold up the pillars of our
two drug stores while the
rest of us are decorating
Night Study Hall seats. But
he also earned membership
in the OWLS Club!
CLASS OF 59
[ 32 ]
SENIORS
DAVE O'BRYAN
He is a B Company guide.
He hails from Princeton,
W. Va., where that Turn-
pike That Leads to Nowhere
(Satevepost) comes to an
end. That means it leads to
Nowhere on the OTHER
terminus. He likes butter-
milk and chess, and his main
dislike is the beat. Dave had
to spend a tour in the hos-
pital this spring. He enjovs
his fun, and does OK.
ROBERT ORRIS
Bob may end up on the
Pittsburgh Steelers. This is
his first year at The Brier.
A private in C Co., he soon
found the svay to the College
and managed to get there
often enough in spite of
football practice. Football is
over but the College is still
there. His roommate is Mike
"Texas" Smith, and when
he twangs that guitar, Orris
is apt to take flight.
ERNESTO PALAZIO
All the way from Mana-
gua, Nicaragua, came this
slim member of the Big
Suite on B Stoop. He still
dreams about a certain col-
lege girl. Ernesto is occa-
sionally seen in NSH. He
stays out of trouble most of
the time, a remarkable feat
for a member of the Carni-
val Troupe commanded by
Honest Moon Mullins.
DUANE PARSONS
Duane especially enjoyed
the early social life in the
band, claims he likes being a
corporal although, like Mul-
vaney, he can say: "I was ?
sergint wanst!" He plays a
hot clarinet. He belongs to
the Band Suite Big Five
Mob — so-called because
there are five guys in it.
Duane is one of our most
popular cadets, always
happy-go-lucky.
WILLIAM PAYNE
He is a good cadet, a guide
in Company C, who gets
along well with everybody.
Bill pays no mind to the
College. He is interested in
attending West Point. He it
a broad jumper for the var-
sity track team. He answers
to "Barry” more often tha-
to "William". Fie has had
commendable participation
in cadet activities.
TOM PETERSON
Peterson, pride of Steu-
benville, is sometimes re-
ferred to by his friends as
"The Watermelon Kid.” We
don't know why, but just
report the facts, ma'am. He
has a shadow named
Kramer. He seldom goes to
the College because he says
there is a special girl back
home. He managed to save
his hair even during G.l.
DAVE PHILLIPS
Dave is a bad man in the
dining hall, where he serves
as Mess Sergeant. He is
another Steubenville prod-
uct. He has extra-thick soles
on his shoes so he can walk
easier around that flagpole
says the next time he gets
promoted he plans to use
zippers on his stripes. Dave
was an outstanding Jayvee
football player.
JOHN POE
This platoon sergeant
from C comes from the
Motor City in Michigan. He
claims to be related to
Edgar Allen, so expects top
grades in English. John
likes Rock 'n Roll, likes to
take life in a lazy fashion,
has a good sense of humor
and enjoys playing jokes on
people. He adds to the joy
of life at The Brier.
[ 33 ]
CHARLES PRICE
Charley is a sergeant in
Big Bo. He hails from
South Charleston and helps
McConihay boast about that
chemical city. He seldom
walks the beat, gets good
grades, and has managed to
survive the wild life roaming
around the B Company Suite
—which is no mean feat in
itself. He should go far!
DARRYL ROGERS
This long, tall fellow en-
joys Intramurals—in fact, he
runs the show from the cadet
side of the fence. He has
a ready smile and likes his
fun. He won his spurs on
the beat his first year bur
this year is a first lieutenant.
This capable fellow is on
both publication staffs, di-
rects intramurals, and keeps
busy all the time.
DAVE SHIFR1N
This Pennsylvanian is an
able student. He will pos-
sibly be remembered for his
persistent questions in class
and his top grades. He is
well liked by all. Dave is a
member of our prize-win-
ning Cadet Band and is
justly proud of its record.
He also plays in the dance
orchestra, and is a good
musician.
BOB SKINNER
Bob Skinner is that im-
portant cog between the
ranks and the brass, a "top
kick" in Co. A. He likes
his fun but tries always to
keep on the right side of the
tracks. He has a "What—
Me Worry?” T-shirt. In
November he was chosen
Cadet of the Month, and he
is still Joe Cadet to the boys
in A Company.
RON SLANKER
Ron Slanker, who leads
that sweet-playing Cadet
ROTC Band, is a loyal
Ohioan from Dayton. He
has a certain phrase he uses
when speaking to a certain
cadet, which is "TURN
LEFT!" This is Ron's fourth
busy year here, and he has
plenty of successes and
memorable experiences to
show for it. If you doubt
this ask him to show you
his engraved sabre. He will
oblige.
DAVE SNODGRASS
This Band squad leader is
another who makes this page
almost a Buckeye register.
He is called "L.P.” which
stands for LONG PLAY-
ING, and it fits him fairly
well. For some reason he
has trouble keeping the
windows of his room clean
—the friends upstairs drop
in on him. He can get a
mean tune out of a clarinet.
He is another regular visitor
to Winchester, Va.
JIM SNODGRASS
Jim, the quiet cadet ot
Company B, is still fighting
out his first year trials. He
comes from Bloomingdale,
Ohio, and must have a girl
back there because the local
"wimmen” don't seem to be
able to get next to Jim at all.
He doesn't like the Beat,
which is natural, and he does
like Miss Willie’s ice cream,
which is also natural. He
has made many lasting
friendships.
WAYNE SPANGLER
This is the Lonely Trom-
bone Player of the Band. He
has troubles of his own—
can't seem to keep his glasses
in one piece and says he
is always tired. Wayne likes
sports, has done a good job
on the Intramural Council.
This West Virginian likes
these hills and says he feels
quite at home in them. He
was busy with both music
and intramural sports.
CLASS OF '59
[ 34 ]
SENIORS
KEITH STOLL
This Band PFC has been
here two years. Musicians
tell us he does a fine job
playing the bells. We want
someone to give him a
microphone for his instru-
ment so it will ring louder.
This smart looking cadet is
another of our large Buck-
eye contingent. He seems to
enjoy music, clubs, and rid-
ing horses.
SAM STONE
This fellow is one of the
hardest working Sergeant
Majors we have had in a
long time. Tops in his
school work, he also has
time for a joke or two. A
good organizer, he organized
Organizations for this book.
Rumor: college trouble early
in the year, so he decided
to be true to the girl back
home. But the girls in Lex-
ington were pretty weren't
they?
RON THIXTON
From Ft. Lauderdale,
down in Sunny Florida, Ron
is a squad leader in Dandy
D. He has plenty to show
for his two years here. Popu-
lar all over town, when
asked what was his favorite
midnight snack he gave a
one-word answer: "Candy."
He may have been lost like
the rest of us when he first
arrived, but now he finds his
way around.
MIKE TOOLEY
From the big town of
South Charleston, he rates as
a Johnny (You-all) Reb.
His chief interest at G.M.S.
is Greenbrier College,
where he manages to go at
every opportunity. Accept-
able grades and a good merit
record brought him March
Privileges, so he may be
across town the last three
months of the year. He is
?. Co. B platoon sergeant.
VINCE TROPEA
This two-year Brier vet-
eran is now a sergeant in
Capable C. He has helped
beat a path through the tall
grass in Lewisburg streets
over to The School on the
Hill many a time. He makes
good grades consistently,
especially in French. If any
French girls wish to write,
see his address on the list
in this annual.
GARY VAUGHN
Gary Vaughn writes com-
pany notes for Big B, so
has to keep his eyes open for
what is going on. He is a
pretty good student, al-
though he has never been
known to put himself in the
infirmary from over-study.
He comes from a military
family, and one of these days
may be your C. O. Gary has
had a fine year at The Brier.
JOHN WEPPLER
A first class Sgt. 1st Class
in Able A, John has been
here long enough now to
have stock in the school. He
doesn’t date much across
the way because, as he says,
"I'm saving myself for later
life." He seems to like his
fun in large quantities bur
he has managed to keep out
of all serious trouble at The
Brier.
PAUL WHITTINGTON
Here is another Charles-
tonian who studies hard and
perhaps has less demerits
than 95% of the cadets in
the corps. He carries the
guidon for Durable D. He
can almost always be found
reading or studying, and has
persistence in gaining his
goals. He has been doing
all right npw for two years
at The Brier.
[ 35 ]
MYRON WILLIAMS
When spring comes
round, Myron is either up in
the air or tumbling in the
sawdust in the high-jump
pit. Myron has been a good
team man, lifting the morale
of the squad. He is a quiet,
friendly fellow who seems
to have a serious outlook on
life and his future but at
the same time builds good
friendships and enjoys liv-
ing.
BRUCE WILLIAMSON
This fellow dreams of rid-
ing around in the sun, run-
ning the top up and down,
and may even end up nick-
named "Chevy.” He skips
the College in favor of a
Marietta beaut)'. He has had
his ups and downs, militarily
speaking, but is now a Sgt.
1st Class. Bruce is a good
student but prefers steak
dinners to classwork. We
ask you—who doesn’t?
TOM WILSON
Fun-loving and care-free,
yet always thorough and de-
pendable — those are our
adjectives for Tom. He has
been active in many organ-
izations and is always in
competition for the highest
scores. He lives in the
Opium Den on D hall, with
Asso. Ed. Don Boston. It
you like this book, give Tom
the credit, if you don’t.
blame Boston.
THOMAS WINSLOW
This fellow makes page
36 three - fourths Buckeye.
He likes to enjoy life, and
strangely enough makes a
sort of specialty of holding
ink battles with his room-
mate, "Spider” (Chemical
Expert) Headman. Who
won the last one, Tom? We
hear that "Honest Moon"
Mullins and Tom had an
inter-com arrangement
which enriched Capt. Moore
with about 100 ft. of wire.

PROFILE OF A CADET
Mike Smith
Mike came to Greenbrier
too late to have his picture
in a Junior panel but defi-
nitely made a place for him-
self in the Junior Class.
After the security of childhood and before the security of
a second childhood we find the cadet.
Cadets are found everywhere—in school, in cars, on
street corners, and always in debt.
Girls love them, towns tolerate them, and the United
States supports them.
A cadet is laziness with a book, brave with a gun, and
at home with a copy of Playboy.
A cadet is a composite. He has the energy of a turtle,
the slyness of a fox, the appetite of an elephant, the brain
of an idiot and when he wants something—it’s usually a
car, money, or a girl.
Nobody can see him so seldom and yet think about him
so much.
Nobody gets so much fun out of a girl, civilian clothes,
or a good magazine than a cadet.
Nobody else can cram into one pocket (or cap) a little
black book, can opener, a Marilyn Monroe calendar, a
polishing rag, old letters, and what’s left of last week’s
allowance.
A cadet is a magical creature. You can lock him out of
your home, but not out of your heart. You can get him off
your mailing list, but not off of your mind.
You might as well give up, for he is your one and only
sleepy-eyed good for nothing bundle of worries. But all
your shattered dreams are ended when your cadet puts his
aims around you, looks into your pretty eyes with his
dreary, dull, bloodshot eyes and says "I love you, honey."

FOOTBALL
THE VARSITY SEASON
Greenbrier began the season riding a seventeen-
game winning streak extending back through two
successive undefeated seasons.
Playing the sternest kind of opposition, the
current varsity finally bowed to Fork Union and
then lost two more games, but ended the season
with a fine 5-3 record.
GMS 13—EMORY & HENRY JAYVEES 12
GMS shaded the E&H College Jayvees 13-12.
Gary Thompson scored on a blocked punt and a
70 yard run in the second quarter. E&H tied the
score in the third but a Monarek to Bibaud pass
covering 35 yards plus Tex Welliver's placekick
gave GMS a 13-7 lead. The visitors scored in the
final few minutes, ran to try for 2 points, were
stopped 6 inches from the goal line.

Bob Hamlin hopes to break through the S.M.A. line.
Big Pileup in the line—and Greenbrier’s punt is away OK.
GMS 21—CASTLE HEIGHTS 13
Willie Highlander scored early after a fumble
recovery on the 21. The score was 7-7 at halftime.
Barry Madill blocked a punr in the third and
Thompson scored. John Griffin iced the game by
intercepting a pass and running 30 yards. Thomp-
son kicked all three points.
GMS 14—COLUMBIAN PREP 0
In the Fourth Annual Rotary Bowl Game under
the LHS lights, GMS came back against Columbian
following a scoreless first half and drove the length
of the field after the kickoff. Lambert Miller
plunged over from the 2. In the fourth quarter,
Fran Garruto went over from the 6 after a
Columbian fumble was recovered. Thompson
kicked both points.

John Monarek started the scoring with a one-

brier ran over a hard-fighting but outmanned Har-
grave Military Academy team 32-12. Lantie Miller
scored one TD, Bob Hamlin went over the goal
line twice, and Paul Hughes ended the scoring
spree with a 55-yard TD run. Thompson kicked
two placements for extra points.
GMS 9—FORK UNION 14
Paul Hughes scooted across on a beautifully
executed keeper plan and Thompson kicked an
extra point. Hughes later added a safety. But nine
points were not enough, and Fork Union snapped
our long winning streak with a 14-0 win. The
Virginians scored on long marches in the first
and third quarters, and added two points follow-
ing their second touchdown.
GMS 7—STAUNTON 31
A versatile SMA team beat us on Homecoming
Day 31-7. The Hilltoppers of SMA roared to two
first-period touchdowns, added a pair before the
half. Greenbrier broke Bob Hamlin loose on two
long runs and Fran Garruto plunged over to make
it 25-7 at halftime, but the Westley-Hake passing
combination was too much for us and the visitors
added another TD before it was over.

GMS 12—BAYLOR 7
GMS bounced back to defeat Baylor Prep of
Chattanooga, Tenn., 12-7 in a driving rain here.
The game was featured by quick kicks and fum-
bles. Bob Hamlin carried the opening kickoff 80
yards to score. GMS was inside Baylor’s 1 yard
line at halftime. Hamlin scored in the third quar-
ter. Baylor scored once, went on a rampage in the
final quarter, but GMS held on doggedly to earn
the win.
GMS 6—MARSHALL COLLEGE 14
The rugged Marshallites let GMS have the ball for
only two plays in the first quarter, but the cadets’
rugged defense held the Huntington team at bay.
Marshall scored, making good use of passes on a
47-yard march, and added two points through the
air. After John Monarek went 13 yards on a
double reverse.

Every once in a while a team "builds character,”
as the boys put it! Well, the Jayvees did have lots
of fun, played plenty of hard-fighting football,—
and built lots of character. They simply ran into
three varsity teams which gave them too much
to handle, and played on SMA Jayvee team which
won by three touchdowns.
Coach Richard Staten, who has had "undefeated
seasons” aplenty, assisted by Coach Ed Perrow and
Cadet Coach Sammy Litton, taught the boys lots
of football, so after all we can take a winless sea-
son in stride . . . which is what we had to do, like
it or not!
"Wish we could be with you today, Coach!”
Alumni from the Charlottes-
ville, Va., section, including Pete
Ottimer, Frank McCue, All-
American Joe Palumbo, Coach
Harrison (Chief) Nesbit, and
others, sent a gift to Coach Tur-
ley which was presented by Col.
Benjamin, Alumni Secretary, just
before the Homecoming Game on
Mathews Field.

CAPTAIN
FOOTBALL
The Captains played a fine game to tie a strong
Covington High Jayvee team 0-0 as the season
opened. We threw up a sterling defense to contain
the vaunted attack of the visitors, but our offensive
just wasn’t able to get underway at all. The Ron-
ceverte High JV’s then beat the JV’s 6-0 in a
thriller, and Craigsville edged out the cadets by
virtue of an extra point, 14-1.3. Mt. Hope
Junior High and the Covington JV’s won 12-0
games, but in between the Captains turned the
tables to beat the Ronceverte JV’s 6-0. Greenbrier
tied Craigsville High, from Virginia, in another
scoreless battle and ended the season in a 0-0 game
with the always potent Beckley Junior High team.

Coach Al Morgan
In the opener, the Virginia Freshmen led 34-31
at halftime following a 16-16 first quarter. GMS
had a "hot” third period, scoring 22 points against
only 9, but Virginia came back in the final quarter
to outscore GMS 29-21. GMS was glad to settle
for a 74-72 victory. Carlos Morrison scored 35
points, mostly on fast layups from the right, and
Jerry Roy hit for 16. The 104-79 win over the
highly touted WVU Freshmen was a highlight.
The team went into high gear then, defeating the
next two opponents with totals over 100 points.
On Dec. 15, control ball by the W. & L. Freshmen
brought down the average as The Brier won 57-39.
After Christmas, the cadets opened with a fat
114-84 score over the Concord JVs. Buddy Bales
was high in this one with 24. Dave Fell scored 19
as we beat Bluefield College 103-74. Jerry Roy’s
24 points paced the 90-71 game with the VMI
Freshmen. Jim McCormick hit for 22 against the
Marshall Freshmen, but the Huntington team
broke our winning streak with an 80-70 victory.
We made 15 goals the first half and only 6 in
the second half. Roy (20), Morrison (19) and
Bill Hardin (13) led the scoring against Massa-
nutten as we won 95-79-

The W. Va. Tech game was a thriller. We led
21-19, 45-40, and jumped ahead 56-55 in the third
quarter. The Techmen kept moving and it was
anybody’s ball game with less than three minutes
to play. Tech pulled it out, 84-79, as the entire
battalion roared for a win which was just out of
reach.
We went over the century mark again, beating
Massanutten 109-77. But Marshall took the wind
out of our sails, 86-80.
And in Morgantown the W. V. U. Frosh gained
sweet revenge with a 110-80 victory. The second
S.M.A. game, in Virginia, found us leading 43-36
at halftime, but the Hilltoppers outscored us 21-14
in the third quarter and then went ahead for keeps
to win a fine game, 78-75.
Greenbrier was not favored to win its third suc-
cessive Eastern Prep Schools crown, but did just
that. We drew a first round bye, evidently to the
delight of the other teams, and SMA was favored
to beat us after their opening win. However, the
third time was the charm.
Coach Morgan showed his "savvy” by substitut-
ing at just the right times. Morrison hit for 19 and
Paul Hughes scored 14 as we won that round.
Against a speedy little St. Francis five, Roy, Morri-
son, Carpenter, Hardin, and Hughes were all in
double figures. GMS passed well, dribbled fast, and
took the crown again with a 109-91 victory.
We will remember also how Joe Ebert, John
Monarek, and Sonny Adams played good basket-
ball, came through when they were needed de-
fensively or for crucial points. It was an unselfish,
hardworking squad.
Such are some of the highlights of another
grand basketball season. Congratulations to the
three-times champs—that "retired” trophy looks
mighty good to us here at The Brier.

JAYVEE
BASKETBALL
The Jayvees had an interesting season; broke even in
won-lost with a 5-5 mark.
A highlight was the defeat of the Staunton Military
Academy Jayvees here in a final second thriller, 51-49. This
was the only setback suffered by the Hilltopper Junior
Varsity this season, and evened the two-game series since
our Jayvees had lost the opener in Staunton, Va., 37-30.
John McConihay became an outstanding play-maker this
season. Brian Borgh was also a consistent star. Buck Jones
poured in 19 points as GMS lost to Ronceverte National
Guatd Co. 68-56. However, the experienced Guardsmen
downed Greenbrier under a bucket barrage for a 90-71
victory in the return game.
Junior Varsity letters were won by Tom Aliff, Don
Amick, Brian Borgh, Jim Boso, Mike Dye, Chet Elliott,
R. E. Jones, Mike Jones, Mike Lett, Doug Petrie, Fred
Parker, John McConihay, and the manager, Ed Bolt. Each
of these boys made a real contribution to the season as
the Jayvees played "team ball" and each had his "hot"
moments when he was outstanding in the game.

THE SEASON
Greenbrier hoped for a good break in the
weather and spring came to The Brier. But the
sunshine did not last long. Rain and wet grounds
caused cancellation and postponement of many
games.
GMS 10—CHS 2
GMS 12-—W & L Freshmen 6
We opened in Virginia, beat Covington High
10-2 in a 7-inning game. Dave Fell, Jerry Roy,
and Jim McCormick each had a stint on the
mound, limited the high school players to a total
of only 4 hits, one a two-bagger by Knighton.
Meanwhile, Paul Hughes led off the year with a
triple to open the first inning scored on a sacrifice
fly. Griffin doubled his first time at bat. It was an
auspicious beginning for the season.
At home, Greenbrier held the Washington and
Lee Frosh to 5 hits but allowed 6 runs. However,
with McClung and Martin hard to hit in the
pinches, the cadets hammered three collegian
twirlers for 13 hits and an even dozen runs. John
Monarek hit a double and Franz chimed in with a
pair of triples.
Paul Hughes at bat against the W. & L. Freshmen. Base hit! McKee scampers home, ball is long gone—
[ 83 ]
GMS 0—SMA 14
GMS 10—MMA 8
OUCH! SMA scored three in the first with two
cut, two walks, a three-bagger and an error help-
ing their cause. They scored three more in the
third with two away, Horoshko’s double and
Arshinkoff’s homer being the big blows. They
added one in the fourth on Counts’ double, an
infield out, and a wild pitch. But in the seventh
that cld rcof caved in on us!
In Virginia, the Fighting Cadets hit the winning
trail again with a 10-hit attack for as many runs
while Massanutten made 5 hits and 8 runs. We
made 5 errors, but the drizzle from the second
inning on caused a lot of rhe fumbling. Franz hit
a double to aid the cause.
With two routine outs in the bag, Anderson hit
a fly to center. Roy, RF, and Griffin, CF, cracked
skulls and were out cold, and the hit went for a
heme run. Twenty minutes later play was resumed
and the Hilltoppers mixed two walks and five
singles for 7 fat runs. The coach told the boys
there would be days like this
GMS 3—W.V.U. FRESHMEN 12
On Mathews Field the Mountaineer Frosh col-
lected 16 hits and 12 runs while Greenbrier, on
8 hits, could score but 3 times, and the slugfest
went to the visitors. Our 6 errors to 1 miscue by
the Morgantown team also made a difference.
Willie Highlander hammered a triple.
GMS 7—CHS 6
Covington High played a good game in Lewis-
burg April 30, but when John Griffin singled to
open the home half of the last inning and John
Monarek slashed a triple to right center it was all
over except for gathering up the bats. Roy, Phil-
lips, and McVay held the visitors to ten scattered
hits. Our big inning was the second when McKee’s
double, a hit batsman, Roy’s single, and Paul
Hughes’ triple scored three runs. Griffin had 3 for
4, including a triple.
As we go to press, GMS has a 4-2 record.

It is not only an outstanding honor but also a
tremendous responsibility to serve on the Honor
Court. Our Honor System of Student Government
functions through the services of this group of
young men who are charged with trying offenses
against the code.
The cadet major is president of the court. De-
fense and prosecuting attorneys give full weight
to all possibilities aimed at bringing out the truth,
and a jury considers the evidence. The findings of
the court are subject to review and approval by
the administration.

ROGER PRICE
Roger is a former writer for Jack Benny, an author
In One Head and Out the Other, Mad Libs, etc.), a
star of radio and television, the creator of the popular
syndicated newspaper feature Droodles, one of Amer-
ica's top flight humorists—and a member of the Brier
Patch staff of 1934.
Without Mr. Price here to interpret effectively, we
can only infer that the drawing he is holding shows a
man with fishing on the brain.
We are proud to present our judge and his selec-
tions for the Queen and her Court.

National Alumni Association
Our alumni are active in many cities. The
Washington, D. C., alumni present a handsome
gold watch each year to the cadet showing the
most improvement. Many of them come back for
Homecoming and for Commencement. There is
now a suggestion from a member of the Class of
1919 that efforts be made to bring back the
seniors of 40 years ago for a reunion next fall.
Shown below are pictures taken at the annual
Homecoming Dance held in the H. B. Moore
Memorial Gymnasium. The Alumni Room, the
furnishings, the wall plaque of the late Col. H.
B. Moore, and the big name plaques are all gifts

Our Alumni Are Our Best Advertisement"
Former students tell us they enjoy reading
The Alumni Record, our 16-page quarterly
magazine filled with news and pictures of
alumni doings and the school as it was and
as it is.
We are proud of our alumni. For the most
part, they have become splendid citizens of
their own communities. Many, of course, have
risen to high office in the affairs of their cities,
states, our nation.
We are always glad to hear from them and
to have them visit us. Once a boy joins "The
Great Greenbrier Family,” our interest in him
never dies. We proudly believe this interest is
reciprocal.
A word to the graduates and non-returning
cadets of June, 1959: Keep in touch with The
Brier!
The New Officers: Ed Yarid, Secretary; Tom Casto, Vice-President; "Tite"
Turley, Immediate Past President; Alex Carey, President.
The Traditional Buffet Luncheon and a football game provide fun for all at Homecoming.

Pride In The Past
Confidence In The Future
THE ORIGINAL "OLD BRICK ACADEMY"—built by Dr. John
McElhenney prior to 1812—
From this humble beginning have come both Greenbrier Military
School and Greenbrier College.
early as 1742 John Peter
Salley, with Charles St. Clair,
John Howard, and his son, Josiah
Howard, made a trip from their
home at the base of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in Augusta County, Va.,
to the Ohio River. Their route led
them through Greenbrier Valley and
it is probable they were the first
white men to see the creek which
runs 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 building Fort Savanah in
the "Big Levels.”
Two of the boldest massacres committed by Indians were led by Chief Cornstalk, of the
Shawnees, who led a band of some 60 tribesmen into the county in 1763. They killed the settlers at
Muddy Creek on June 26. The next day they killed all but one of the men, Conrod Yolkum, at the
Clendenin settlement near what is now Lewisburg. A small party then went to Carr’s Creek, Rock-
bridge County, Va., on what was the last Indian raid east of the Alleghenies.
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.
[ 138 ]
The old academy building fronted east, and stood in the edge of a walnut grove. A little log
cabin faced the site of the academy. A little brick cabin also stood about fifteen steps north. The
Old Stone Church cornered the graveyard just south of the site.
Shortly after 1895, when the "Trustees of the Academy” made a transfer to a joint stock com-
pany known as the "Lewisburg Female Institute,” the boys’ branch was re-established on the grounds
of the old Greenbrier Agricultural Society, "with its beautiful grove of oaks, on the eastern out-
skirts of town.”
Gen. Robert E. Lee’s famous war horse, Traveler, was exhibited as a colt at the fair, and here
the present Greenbrier Military School still stands to serve the youth of the nation.
Maj. J. M. Lee was principal of the boys’ school, and Lee Military Academy was doing well
when the major resigned to move elsewhere and Samuel R. Houston became principal. For a while
in the 1890’s the school was known as Greenbrier Military Academy.
Mr. Houston eliminated the 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 Presby-
tery. Dr. Lacy became principal 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 stu-
dents from many states and foreign countries.
The school is a member of the Virginia
Preparatory Schools Association, the North
Central Educational Association, and the
Association of Military Colleges and Schools
of the United States.
Thousands of former Greenbrier cadets
have served and are serving with the armed
forces of their country, contributing to her
progress in positions of responsibility both
in and out of the service, and continuing 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 future.
OUR FIRST "CADETS" STUDIED HERE
Private residence, "ordinary," Presbyterian manse, military hospital
private residence again, hotel, and inn—that is the history of one of
Lewisburg’s oldest buildings. In imagination, replace that automobile
with a stage coach, take away the telephone pole and wires, replace the
sign with a hand-lettered sign on hickory wood: EDGAR’S ORDINA.RY
and you are right back in the early 19th century.
In this house Dr. McElhenney and his bride lived before he built a
brick home on the southern edge of town. Here he taught his students
So the old brick house, standing today across from the court house
Court Street, was really the predecessor of "the old brick academ "
building. '

Duty Before Pleasure
IN THE COLONEL'S OFFICE
Cadet First Sergeant James Headman, Officer-of-the-Day, is called into Col. Moore’s office for consultation on
school business. Col. J. M. Moore, Pres., and Col. W. J. Moore, Supt., seem happy enough, so probably everything will
turn out all right. At least, so Headman hopes.
IN THE GYMNASIUM
Cadet Private First Class Tom Boguess looks over the refreshment table at Homecoming Dance, probably plan-
ning to drink a bit more free punch, while his school-mates look on. Generally speaking, this is probably much
easier than looking over the desk at the colonel.
