Cl.YDl'I H. BAKICR, ja. Clyde is a person of unusual activities. He seems to be rather musically inclined, playing three instruments all together, two of which he used here at The Brier. He also spends a good deal of his time making orches- trations for the orchestra in which he doubles on electric guitar and trom- bone. After he leaves 'l'he Brier he expects to enter the Pittsburgh Nlusical lnstitute where we know he will do good. He hails front the City of Pittsburgh and always has something good or bad to say about the Pittsburgh girls. l.ike most of his fellow Pitts- burghers he resembles General Grant in that he doesn't like to shave either. His idol is Tommy Dorseyg his favorite actresses are ,Ioan Leslie and klune .Xllyson fhow do ,vnu spell a whistle?l. l or a while he dated the College tnot the college but a girl at the Collegel. but he finally saw light and has quit those long trudges to the cornfield. He can be seen at the Hoss-Upryu every Saturday night pacing up and down the aisle with his roommate looking for er-er seats Lil. With an attitude like that, we know that Clyde will succeed in life and will undoubtedly attain his desire for being a noted musician some day. .Xll the fellows here at the Brick .Xeademy on the Hill join nie in wishing him good luck! HERBICRT BALIN llerb hails from the big City of New York. liven though Herb is from the big town, he has adjusted himself to the life of a small town. lAIust ask the girls at the College. mainly one named-V-no names allowed in Senior XYritefl'psl. Herb has been a brave boy for two long years. Ile has many friends who will remember him as one heck of a swell guy. We know it is hard for him to say good-bye to the daily routine at 'l'he Brier. but the .Xrmy will have hint back to it soon enough. If the .Xrmy doesn't claim hini. he hopes to be a student at Harvard College. .-Xlways a topic of discussion was Herlfs Harem. which consisted of some five members. His favorite pastimes are after-taps bull sessions and umpiring baseball games for thc Dorm Devils. But l guess the time has come when we must say good-bye to our boy Herb, so we want to wish him all the luck in the world and hope that he makes as many friends in the future as he has here, A I. L. B EAZLEY It was a happy day for the demerit board when Big Xl entered the fabulous portals of Greenbrier to become a member of the well-disciplined ranks of Company C, where he has obtained the highest of honors. His social life is also one of undying fame at the College where he is both liked and admired for his gentlcmanly manner. Un the gridiron, basketball court, and any other field of athletics he acquired the highest recognition. For two years a letterman on the Varsity lfootball team, he will long be remembered for his excellent ability to snag passes out of nowhere. His six-three rugged body is always seen in action under the net for another two points at any time, bringing his average up with the best. YYhether it's riding a horse in NVyoming, digging coal in Wiest Virginia. or walking the beat at The Brier, we know his satiric humor will always win him more friends. Big Al hopes to go west and enjoy life in a peaceful ranch under the beautiful prairie sky, and eat, sleep and make love to Barbara through all eternity. So here's wishing you good luck. .-Xl, and hoping you achieve your ambitions. WI RT R. BELCHER lfvery cadet knows Bob as really one of the fellows. He has been in such eminent organizations as The North Side Suite Club, Second Platoon Grid Stars and others. Burp, as everyone calls him, comes from the fair town of Klan. He is one of a fairly good-sized number of boys from down that way. Believe it or not. Bob can actually do good school work as he has proven to his teachers. Burp has. of course. been on the beat, but it will be found by examining the records that he hasn't been on enough to count. Starting his career at Greenbrier in 1944, he has put on a determined effort to build a good reputation for himself and has succeeded quite well in carrying out this project by working hard on his school work. militarv work, physical activities and social engagements. i Burp has some specimens of the feminine class lined up in Klan, which he is mighty proud of. Wie know that Burp will make a good dentist as he wants to be and that his years at 'l'he Brier will hold a fond place in his memories. Habit is either the best of servants, or the worst of masters
