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

-IOHN Y. BISHOP L' Bish has been honored throughout his senior year by being a mem- ber of the immortal six, Suite ooo. During this time he has been an active participant in the various activities of this group and he has also found time for preventing the college life from being too dull. His favorite diver- sions are that of entering into a bull session and then praying that Major Turley doesn't hear the phrasing of his lines during a heated discussion. During his time at Greenbrier he has seen many other companies, but he maintains that nothing can even come close to comparing with good old Company B lB for best, naturallyl. While serving his time at The Brier, Bish has made for himself an enviable record, hy being an efficient and capable manager of the Yarsity Basketball team, a hard-working member of both the school's literary publications, and an accomplished agent of the B Company Rough Riders. .Xfter serving two years in the Marine Corps, he plans to go into the field of chemistry, a profession for which he is very well suited. ln conclusion, we will prove. beyond the shadow of a doubt that even though he acts like a zombie, he really isn't. ELLIS M. BOND 'l'hree years ago lillis came to f l'he Brierl' and has been a loyal mem ber of Company B and an ardent heat walker ever since. He has gained many friends on the second stoop by his quick wit and dry humor. lfllis says he has developed a habit of getting kicked in the back by his friend, Dyke. while on the steps of the college across the way. He has found out that there is more than one way of passing a public speaking class if you are from the same state as the teacher, but off the record, he has developed into one of the most powerful speakers in the whole Public Speaking Class- it says here. During his last year he became one of the proprietors of Gleason's 'liavern-in charge of the floor shows and other entertainment. He went out for the Colonel football team and worked so hard that both Captain Reynolds and Captain Keene agree that there hasn't, in all the years of 'I'he Brier, been a better bench warmer. lt has been a race with him and his roommate who can miss the most reveille formations, and so far he is ahead by a nose, but give him time. If you ever get to know him well, you will be sure to know two things: one, that he is from Louisville, Kentucky, and that he was the rider of the winner of the IQ37 Kentucky Derby, which is one of his proudest achievements. .Xfter graduating from high school he will go into one of two professions, either keeping people alive or getting rid of them after they have passed away, namely. being a doctor or undertaker, and with the background of experience he has acquired here, he ought to do well in either profession. CLAIRE C. BOSO l rom the darkened halls of the Dormitory pops thc shiny head of Claire C. Boso, better known as Colonel Bozef' who fears no man nor COl.ONl'il.. During the eight years of his stay here at The Brier he has accomplished the impossible by having never set foot in the great institution of Greenbrier College for Women. flyolly, take note.l Claire hails from the great metropolis of Portland, Ohio, where he and his brother operate a goo-acre farm. Colonel Bozeu has proven himself to be a good leader in the class- room as well as an excellent leader on the drill field. He has proven his ability so well that he has achieved the rank of captain of Company IJ, the outstanding organization of the battalion. Boze plans to enter Ohio State and major in Agriculture but L'ncle Sam has his plans, too. We are sure that Boze's winning personality will bring him the same success and happiness in later life as he has had here at 'I'he Brier. ROBERT E. BOURET .Xll the way from San juan, Puerto Rico, has come to Greenbrier a boy by the name of Roberto limilio lfrancisco Bouret Valines Cofresi. .Xfter his family, a certain miss in San bluan, and Puerto Rico, the greatest love in his life is his hair. You will never see him with his hair not combed, and somehow he always escapes the barber's scissors. much to Major 'l'urley's disappointment, He is very fond of music, especially l.atin- :Xnierican music, and he is usually humming a tune or singing a song. He is very patriotic and he says that Puerto Rico is the best place on the face of the earth and second to none. He has been given the position of Hothcial interpreter of G. XI. S.,', and he always translates for the other Spanish boys since he speaks linglish very well. liver since he came to Greenbrier he has been a loyal member of Company C and has always supported it in arguments, revolts and snowball battles. Robert plans to be an architect in Puerto Rico in the future and he still has six years of studies ahead of him, so let's wish him good luck and a safe return to his beloved island.
