Asa surveyor, he proved his worth on more than one occasion. What were his dreams as he marked off the land? A bit of Greenbrier spirit, a moment of school life, a book of memories—that has been our aim in compiling this book. Memory is, at best, tinctured with sadness, bitter-sweet. In years to come, as you turn these pages, may you derive pleasure untold from the memories which they recall. Miss SALLIE BAILEY COLUMBIA, S. C.

TuNnE: The Vagabond King I When the battle’s toughest And the going’s roughest Greenbrier’s backs will find a way; When the foe is striving, Down the field is driving, Greenbrier’s line will stop the play. Center — quarter — into battle charge! Hlalfbacks — fullback — tackles, ends and guards! As one man they fight ‘em, Smash their foes and smite ’em — Greenbrier’s men will win to-day! CHORUS Forward — forward — hold your colors high! Onward — onward — lift them to the sky — Green and White are leading — Greenbrier’s team’s succeeding — Greenbrier’s men will win to-day! si When the game's beginning And the team is winning Green and White will lead the way. When defeat seems nearing Still the Corps is cheering — Greenbrier’s men will force the play. Greenbrier — Greenbrier — strive with main and might! Keydets — Keydets — fight for Green and White! When we need a tally Then the team will rally — Greenbrier’s men will win to-day! hy ey, D y a OS sf eae ss SF Foe x Cr x i i Academic Life In WASHINGTON’S YOUTH, THE VILLAGE SCHOOL-MASTER PROVED TO HIS PUPILS THAT THERE WERE MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH THAN WERE DREAMED OF IN THEIR PHILOSOPHIES! THE THREE R’s WERE STRESSED, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF CHAR- ACTER BUILDING. THEN, AS NOW, IDEAS WERE TRANSMITTED BY INSTRUCTORS OF ABILITY. THEN, AS NOW, THE SCHOOLHOUSE STOOD FOR THE BEST IN THOUGHT AND ACTION. NO SMALL SHARE OF OUR COUNTRY’S GLORY IS DUE TO THE LESSONS TAUGHT IN THE COLONIAL SCHOOLS. T G) ACADEMIC LIFE CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 Cox. H. B. Moore Lieut.-Cout. J. M. Moore Mayor D. T. Moore Principal Assistant Principal Business Manager The “Big Three” of Greenbrier Military School—‘Colonel,”’ “Captain Joe” and “Major D. T.’ They look after our welfare, see that we don’t loaf, hand out our spending money and do about everything else they can think of for our comfort. History and Admunistration (Extracts from History of Lewisburg Academy—now Greenbrier Military School) On the first Sabbath in June, 1808, Dr. John McE lhenney became pastor of Lewisburg Presbyterian Church (Old Stone Church) and for sixty-two years labored in this section of Virginia, going as far west as Charleston in the Kanawha Valley. Among his earliest undertakings, and certainly among his most important achievements, was the establishment of Lewisburg Academy in the county seat of Greenbrier County, Virginia, at that time the most important Virginia town west of the Alleghanies. This school must have opened its doors in 1808. The brick academy building was erected about 1812, as is evidenced by the records of Greenbrier County Court. A deed is on record in the clerk’s office of said county, dated in 1812, which, in giving the boundaries of the lot conveyed, reads as follows: “Beginning on Main Street at the corner of the lot on which the Brack Academy has recently been erected, and with said lot,” etc. The 29th day of January, 1812, the Legislature of the State of Virginia passed an act entitled: “An act establishing an Academy in the Town of Lewisburg, in the County of Greenbrier,” and in this act certain gentlemen residing in Greenbrier, Monroe, Botetourt, Bath, Giles, Kanawha, Mason and Cabell Counties were appointed trustees. Thus it appears that at the start the purpose was to establish a school for the benefit of a large section of Virginia, and not just for local patronage. THE GREENBRIER OF TO-DAY In 1890, Greenbrier Military Academy was flourishing. With over 200 students enrolled, a disastrous fire destroyed the buildings. By 1896 the school was again gaining prominence as Lee Military Academy. In 1902, as Greenbrier Academy, it was given to the Presbytery of Greenbrier, and the Rev. M. L. Lacy, D. D., father of our own Miss Lena Lacy, was chosen President. Under his leadership the school grew in prestige. Colonel H. B. Moore became President in 1906, and in 1920 the new Greenbrier, a private school opened by Colonel Moore and’ his brothers, opened its doors to the youth of America. For over 120 years Greenbrier kas served the youth of America. Precious is our heritage. First Row: Seconp Row: Tuirpv Row: Fourtu Row: Firtn Row: SrxtH Row: THE, FACULTY Colonel H. B.

B. Moore, President, sings: “I’m a Tiger born, I’m a Tiger bred, and when I die I’ll be a Tiger dead.’ He refers to Hampden-Sydney. His is the final word, as well as the task of teaching algebra to a class or so. Lieutenant-Colonel J. M. Moore, “Captain Joe,” is Vice President, Athletic Director, and the man who sees to it that our rooms are properly decorated. Major D. T. Moore, the third member of the trio, is Business Manager. He handles our tickets, our allowances and our bills before we do! They sing ‘‘The Washington and Lee Swing.” Major Kane, Headmaster, supervises grades and teaches mathematics with that old Spirit of V. M. I. Major Strock, Colorado Aggie, is P. M. S. T. (not a railroad system). Except for teaching military science, supervising drill, preparing for government inspection, running the horse show, coaching the boxing team, supervising the Boot and Spur Club, and looking after a few odds and ends, he has nothing much to do. Captain Richardson, a son of Randolph-Macon, heads the Latin Department and coaches Pigmy teams. He is musical, too, and keeps busy at the piano and organ. Captain Benjamin, another Hampden-Sydneyite, heads the English Department. He is also Director of Publicity, and sees to it that the world knows about Greenbrier achievements. He is the Brier Patch advisor. Captain Beards- worth, Music Instructor, is director of the Cadet Band—nuf sed. Incidentally, he is a member of the famous Stonewall Jackson Brigade Band, Staunton, Virginia, of Apple Blossom fame. Captain Adkins, Hampden-Sydney, is Head Coach. He teaches History and Science, Captain Heflin, a West Virginia Mountaineer, Instructor in English and Public Speaking, has charge of the Senior Orations this year. He is the man who founded Passin’ Review. He coaches the Debating Team, supervises the Hi-Y and the Forensic Club, and has charge of the literary society work. Captain Turley, another graduate of Hampden-Sydney, is Assistant Coach and teaches Bible. Captain Street, Richmond ‘and Wah-Wh-Wah, Virginia, teaches Physics and has charge of golf. Captain Parsons, of good old William and Mary, is Dean of the Junior School and teaches English. Captain Ivey, Alabama, teaches Mathematics. Captain Schaefer, Penn State, knows all about German. He is also in charge of Archery. Captain Bartholomew, from Ye Olde Centre College, is Dean of the Commercial Department. He coaches Varsity Track and Colonel teams. Captain Henley, a Carson-Newman Alumnus, teaches Junior Department stars and coaches Varsity Wrestling and Midget teams. Captain Harris, from Centre and proud of it, is the Biology Instructor. He is Reserve Football Coach. Captain Bowles, University of Virginia, is the French master, and he also supervises the horseback riding. Captain Magruder, from Washington and Lee, teaches English. He is advisor for the Green Briars. Captain Scott, of Mississippi State Teachers’ and George Peabody, teaches Chemistry and assists with football coaching. Captain Lithgow, from Pitt, teaches Mathematics, assists with the military and the boxing team, and is Fencing Instructor. Mrs. Henley, who cheers for the University of Tennessee, teaches in the Junior Department. Mrs. Pace is Matron of the Junior Department. Incidentally, she always wants ‘Texas to come out on top. Miss Jarrett, registered nurse, gives us pills and trays of food, takes our temperatures and sends us back to school. Sergeant Conyers, U.S. A., is assistant P. M.S. T. The Rifle Team swears by “Sarge.” He is one man who always does his job uncomplainingly. Dr. Beard and Dr. Preston, school physicians, are with us each morning and at other times if we need them.

Another Wolverine from the Auto City. He has tried to finish up strong this year, and plunged into various activities, as you can see by his achievements. The Editor-in-Chief of the paper is a good job in itself. On to Michigan, “Bud,” good luck in the future. JAMES SADLER BEARDSLEY POINT MARION, PA. Philomathean 1930-31.

The Rah-Rah cheer leader! All kidding aside, we will miss this Drum Major’s pep, vim and vigor at the football games next fall, for he is headed for college, where we know he will be a big success on the campus. eee at said CORNELIUS HARTWELL BARBER MILFORD, OHIO Philomathean 1929-30.

He has kidnapped knowlege from encyclopedias and books of useful information, and wisdom has not passed him by. His athletic attainments with the midget teams have been as superior as his scholastic achievements, CHARLES R. BELTZ PITTSBURGH, PA. Lacy 1929-30.

Because Beltz demonstrated that he could put a neat hole through his finger without ruining it he was appointed President of the “Fallen Angels.” After receiving this honor Beltz settled down in other branches and ob- tained favorable results. With this spirit he will “go places’ when he leaves Greenbrier. CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 DALLAS H. BRONSON CASSOPOLIS, MICH. Philomathean 1030-31. Private, Co. A‘: Rifle) Deam- 1931-32. Sergeant, Co. ‘A’; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Rifle Team; Hi-Y Club. Another one of those hard-boiled “sarges.” Dallas comes from the wide open part of Michigan—did we say what was wide open? Dallas is pretty handy with a rifle and a Spanish vocabulary and will hit the mark as sure as his aim is true. Power to him! KARL E. BUTZIN RIPON, WIS. Philomathean 1929-30.

Witty, alive and always in a good humor, we shall more than miss “Old Karl.’ With the Colonel basket ball team he demonstrated his prowess, and as for studies, ask anyone - in the Physics class how he plugged!

He led the basket ball team through a successful season until his illness. He is also a track man, being a high hurdler of no mean ability. He is also a Physics “shark”—? So long, friend Brubeck, of Beckley. LEE CALFEE CLEVELAND, OHIO Philomathean 1929-30. Private, Band; Ohio Club. 1930-31. Private, Band; Ohio Club. 1931-32.

To say that a town boy is a commissioned officer should be enough honor for one man, but Coffman’s honors do not stop here. He is also a scholastic ‘shark,’ and an all-round success at Greenbrier. The college that gets Coffman will be fortunate. We are fortunate, too, for Coffman will not find it difficult to visit us after he finishes. JAMES catia: HINTON, - VA. pale Ae! 1930-31.

He gives them as hard as he takes them, and sometimes harder. He is also a football player of merit. CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 GEORGE REED FAILING LUKE, MD. Lacy 1931-32. Private, Co. “‘B’’; Hi-Y Club. Another one of those quiet boys from Maryland who is keeping up the reputation of former Marylanders. Even though this was his first year, he has learned the great lesson, “How to Study.” He knows his Shakespeare and will remember Luke in Senior Bible as well as his home town. We are waiting to hear of your next achievement, which will probably end in the downfall of Governor Ritchie. WILLIAM A. FENNEL HONOLULU, T. H. Philomathean 19312324) brivates Gon Aww Fennel comes to us from “the melting pot of the Pacific,” a far away land of palms and pineapples. His ability to carry on an in- teresting conversation has earned him great popularity. Since he has come so far to Greenbrier, we believe, he will take much knowledge with him when he leaves. To the “future Colonel of the Hawaiian Air Corps,”’ good luck. OSCAR A. FELKER PITTSBURGH, PA. Philomathean 1928-29.

Philomathean 1931-32. Private, Co. ‘‘C’’; Glee Club; Boxing Team. Although “Fitz” has not been with us long, he has made many friends. He has displayed his ability as a boxer by making the team and doing well in his first attempt. More power to you, “Fitz”! You have that good, winning punch.

Bill had a pretty tough squad but he soon learned to take care of ’em. Painstaking in his work, and always making the best of his opportunities, we expect great things of “Iggy.” Here’s hoping you win your laur els soon. Has Greenbrier brought forth the future editor of the New York Times? He has the literary ability! EDWARD MASON JEFFRIES LEWISBURG, W. VA. Philomathean 1929-30. Private, Co, “‘C.’”’ 1930-31. Private, Co. ; 1931-32. Private, Co. ‘““B’; Track Team. This modest town boy credits himself with few honors, but leaves them for others to see. He is a good track man. He has the determi- nation and the ability to accomplish big things, and we expect to see his name among the notable graduates of Greenbrier in a few years. 6c ” FREDERICK W. JASPER, Jr. GLEN JEAN, W. VA. Philomathean 1931-32. Private, Co. “B’; Varsity Football; Varsity Basket Ball; ‘‘G’’ Club; Forensic Club. Although Freddy has been with us but a year, he is already one of the best-liked cadets in the student body. He is a true pal to his friends, and his enemies are none. Freddy is a sterling athlete, making three letters during his only year at G. M. S. Conscien- tious and hard working, he will certainly go far!

Corporal, Co. ‘‘B’?; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Ohio Club; De Molay; Colonel Football. “Battling Bill,’ from Steubenville, has had as much success at G. C. W. this year as he had playing football with the Colonels. Who is this girl that has “Harpo” entwined ’round her finger? We often wonder. We can ex- pect no more of a man than for him to try his hardest and Bill has done that, certainly. He’s a good pal to all of us and we shall miss him more than a lot.

First Lieutenant, Co. ““B”; Commissioned Officers Club: Secretary of Lacy Society; Hi-Y Club; Varsity Baseball; ‘‘G’’ Club. “Mingo” is one of “de boys from Mingo County” and is also one of us. He plays foot- ball and baseball and a better first baseman is yet to be seen in school. When it comes to batting he also takes part in this, lending a hand very ably, and usually boosting the score of the home team slightly. Drop us a line from Hollywood when you arrive, John. PAUL CLIFTON MILLER SHARPLES, W. VA. Lacy 1930-31. Private, Co. ‘B”’; West Virginia Club. 1931-32. Corporal, Co. ‘‘B’’; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; West Virginia Club; Track Team. Paul’s quietness betrays his mania for trifling in the mess hall. His aptitude for keeping a poker face is remarkable. How- ever, he is to be remembered for his neat’ appearances and his ability as a student. JOHN McNAIR PITTSBURGH, PA. Philomathean 1929-30. Private, Co. “D’; Pennsylvania Club; Jolly Pitt Gang. 1930-31. Corporal, Co. ‘“‘D’’; Corporal of Battalion Crack Squad; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Penn- sylvania Club; Jolly Pitt Gang. 1931-32. Corporal, Co. ‘‘C’; Sergeant, Comace: Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Student Council; Forensic Club. The student body showed their confidence in McNair by electing him to the student council. He is the type that is liked equally well by the faculty and the student body. His scholastic record and his conduct at Green- brier show that he will go far in life. G. LUKE MIZELL ATLANTA, GA. Lacy 1931-32. Private, Co. ‘‘A’’; Varsity Football and Boxing; “‘G’’ Club. This versatile “cracker’ from Georgia showed some of the boys how to play football as it is played. When the gridiron battles were over, he took to the squared circle and showed that he could fight by himself as well as with ten other men. His ready smile and easy-going disposition has won him a host of friends. CTTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 GRIGGSBY JENOS MONTGOMERY BLUE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. VA. Philomathean 1928-29.

As a student, he is right there. As an athlete, come out to a track meet and see for yourself. He has won the friendship of us all and we will miss him next year. HAROLD R. PARKS JENKINS, KY. Lacy 1930-31. Private, Co. ‘‘D’’; Kentucky Club. 1931-32. Corporal, Co. ‘‘C’; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Wrestling Team; Midget Football and Basket Ball. Parks is our clinic scribe and keeper of the “Gold Bricks” record. We hope to see his name among those of the leading doctors of the country some day. More power to you, Parks.

Corporal, Co. ‘‘A’’; Photographic Editor, Brier Patcu; Green Briars Staff; Colonel Football: Baseball. Another Keystone representative and this one is interested in photography. These Key- stone boys sure have a variety of hobbies. In fact, Jimmie is so interested in his hobby that he has done a great deal of work on the Annual, taking pictures of the many scenes in the life of a cadet. He is Photographic Editor of the Annual and all the snapshots that you see in here are of his taking. If he goes at the life task like he has this one, we know he will succeed. I.

Second Lieutenant, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Commissioned Officers Club; Colonel Football and Basket Ball; ‘‘G’’ Club; President of Philomathean Society; Student Council; Secretary of Forensic Club; Cadet Orchestra. He plays snare drum in the Band, and how! As a boxer he was right there with every- thing that he had, and could give and take with the best of them. As a track man he traveled over the low hurdles exceptionally well. His favorite pastime is Physics Lab. At other times he may be found down town. We wonder why? So long, Ernie. LANIER A.

Pole intends to go to General Motors School and study mechanical engineering. Oompah! Wonder if he is to be the designer of our future Cadillacs? He ought to be good at it, for he surely knows his Physics! JOSEPH PIRAGIS DETROIT, MICH. Lacy 1930-31. Private, Co. “B.” 1931-32. Private, Co. ‘‘B’; Michigan Club; Big Four. Now let me tell you about Detroit. From Joe’s description, Detroit must be the out- standing city in the United States. Joe is an electrical wizard and has a thriving business at G. M. S., because all our radios need fixing after the strenuous usage after taps. Have you noticed the mustache he has mothered for months? It is the best one in school. He has to get a store shave now.

Corporal, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Green and White Revelers; Pennsylvania Club. They tell us that Ed is the latest rival to Ben Bernie—and we are almost inclined to believe it, for he certainly blows a mean note on that trumpet. He thinks the sun rises and sets on W. and J.; it won’t be so very long before we hear of his fame in that vicinity. CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 JAMES A. RHODES WILLIAMSON, W. VA. Lacy 1929-30.

The hard boiled “Top Kick” of Company Ay After all the other big shots of the country offered their solution for the depression Andy favored us with the correct one in his oration.

Corporal, Co. ‘B’’: Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Dramatic Club; Forensic Club: Debating Team; Manager of Football; ‘‘G’’ Club. “Skippy” took care of the equipment that it takes to make a football team. Therefore, he should be in on the praise given to the Varsity gridders of 1931. He can also talk for himself, as the debaters soon learned. You may be in the Senate some day. EDGAR B. RUFF ELKHORN, W. VA. Philomathean 1931-32. Private, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Colonel Basket Ball. Ed has only been with us one year but we allowed him to “sound off” in chapel every morning to repay him for his good work in the Band. He was also one of Captain Barty’s basket ball protégés.

Stier was the chief crooner and announcer of the “Carolina Hot Shot Boys,” who enter- tained the back side of the quadrangle after taps. Stier sometimes forgot to make an ap- plication when desiring leave, but despite his weak moments he has made a record that does credit to him. DEWITT CLINTON SNYDER MOUNT HOPE, W. VA. Lacy 1928-29.

If that be the case, then DeWitt needs no publi- city. JOSEPH FLESHMAN THOMAS OAK HILL, W. VA. ; Lacy 1929-30. Private, Headquarters Co., Band Section; West Virginia Club. 1931-32. Corporal, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Assistant Academic Editor, Brrer Parc; Green and White Revelers; West Virginia Club. Joe is another of these quiet, pensive fel- lows who studies all his spare time—and what grades he makes! We expect that Oak Hill will be proud of this noble son when he signs up with Guy Lombardo. Joe’s clarinet cheers us all, but how do we know—maybe he’ll be a coal king. CTTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 DAN W. TRIEM PITTSBURGH, PA. Lacy 1930-31.

He went out for Varsity Football this year and showed up well. In the Orchestra his services were almost a necessity and he completely mastered the saxophone. Here’s to your success! JUNIUS D.

Besides this, he was a member of the Rifle Team that won the National Championship. That, we believe, is an accomplishment worthy of proper mention. Good luck, Junius, and always shoot as straight as you have here. VICTOR LEE TUCKER LYNCHBURG, VA. Lacy 1927-28. Private, Co. ‘‘E’’; Pigmy Football and Basket Ball. ; 1928-29.

First Sergeant, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Captain of Midget Football and Basket Ball; Manager of Varsity Basket Ball; Rho Dammit Rho; ‘‘G’’ Club; Orchestra; Four Horsemen. He is the master of himself, also of the Band. These top kicks have to be hard boiled. Tucker has Captained every sport that the Midgets have had and who better could fill his place? If he manages his business as he did the basket ball team there will be no doubt of his success. RICHARD B. WOOD, Jr. LEWISBURG, W. VA. Lacy 1922-32.

Their record is a good one. Nothing more need be said. Some of these fellows came to us from other schools for one year at Greenbrier before entering college. Others stayed over for an extra year just because they liked the campus—or perhaps G. C. W.—or even the classes. If you will check through this book, you will find many military organizations, athletic groups, clubs and what-have-yous enriched by the presence of one or more of the P.-G.’s. From their circle we have Hall of Fame members, the individual high point rifleman of the United States (Military Schools group), leading officers, literary prodigies, football stars, basket ball luminaries, baseball, track, wrestling, boxing and swimming leaders, Boot and Spur and Sigma Lambda Chi members and some of the best scholars in school.

Try and guess— Notes of the bugles give us the jim-jams— We’re red hot poppers—yes, yes yes! We like the sound of the mess-call best. Coffee, coffee, cofeee—palest ever seen— Soupie, soupie, soupie—without a single bean— Porkie, porkie, porkie—and not a streak of lean— We hate the note of the darned call, durned call, Known as the first call, the mean call, the curst call— I can’t get’em up, I can’t get ’em up, The corporal’s worse than the private I can’t get’em up in the morning The sergeant’s worse than the corporal, I can’t get’em up, I can’t get’em up, The captain’s worse than the sergeant, I can’t get ’em up at all. And the major’s the worst of all. Soon we will be in the battle of life Pooh-pooh, Life! We don’t fear Life! We’re eager for fight and the powder and strife We’re ready for anything that comes—comes Hear the drums— Here the booming and the pounding of the drums, drums, drums— Through the eerie savage beating such a moaning rhythm runs— Reverberates and runs I hope it will never repeat. Like a thousand women’s tongues. Repeat—repeater—Peter—Peter, Peter Break, break, break Pumpkin eater had a wife and On thy cold grey stones, O Beat, couldn’t keep her put her in a pumpkin And the terrible pain that you gave to me— shellandtherehekeptherverywell. And now the time has come to say Au revoir—pleasant dreams— This is Burn Bennie and all the lads, ladies and gentlemen, wishing you a bit of pleasant dreams—think of me... . When requesting your positions in life. Your positions as factory hands, chauffeurs, ribbon salesmen, automobile mechanics, teachers, lawyers, druggists, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, Don’t you simply Jove the Quakers? Quakers—Quaker Oats—the power of advertising. Gosh! Where is this leading.... Alas, Horatio, there’s the rub. Where’s the rub? Aladdin’s lamp .... Horatius at the bridge table.... And so, with a mixture of reason and rhyme But not very much sense, we will leave at this time. These lines, dear reader, are the thoughts of the Senior sinners As they wait at the rostrum for their diplomas just before going out with the folks to eat their various dinners. Toodle-oo! ’ STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA WILLIAM G. CONLEY EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT VINCENT LEGG GOVERNOR CHARLESTON PRIVATE SECRETARY March 16, 1932 The 1932 Brier Patch Staff Greenbrier Military School Lewisburg, West Virginia Gentlemen: It is a pleasure again to greet the cadets of Greenbrier Military School through the pages of The Brier Patch of .19S2. The institution you have chosen to attend is the only essentially military school in West Virginia, and it takes front rank in both scholastic and military activities among all schools of the country in its category. Military training is not training for war, but is fundamentally training for peace. It helps to build a cleaner, finer, sturdier, more reliant, more capable and more alert citizenship. It teaches independence, and at the same time stresses the fact that to be independent, one must be disciplined. It inculcates self-reliance, yet teaches that the self-reliant man must codperate and work in harmony with others in order to secure the things he desires. It teaches respect for our flag and for the ideals, customs and traditions for which our flag stands. It strengthens love of country and thereby strengthens love of home and family—the two basic factors which make this republic what it is to-day. Your school, as I know it, offers fine training for fine young men. (Signed) Wm. G. Conley Governor of West Virginia Charleston, W. Va.

Lacy “Have you seen Zogg anywhere?” CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 Telescopic Sights ‘““Clang!” sounds the steel door of the elevator stopping atop of the Landre observation tower, 1,999 stories above the “sidewalks of New York.” Wethen walk up to the 2,oooth floor, which houses the observing screen and mechanism of the gigantic telescope commanding a close view of all parts of the United States from the Rockies to the Atlantic and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Seating ourselves before the screen, we start the mechanism and peer into various buildings and homes in a successful attempt to discover what had happened to our friends of the Junior Class of Greenbrier, 1932. We are fortunate enough to observe the following results concerning their status: Adkins, old faithful right guide on the beat, is another Crosby and bids fair to surpass the former’s style—Bob Batt, admirer of gangsters, is a smoothie of the first water, seen with a Rolls-Rough and a platinum blonde—‘‘Sarge”’ Canter is the possessor of the worlds most valuable stamp collection and the largest Army-Navy store in America—George Conley enjoys the distinction (?) of being the worlds champ Kelley Pool shot—Pat, his brother, shares some of his glory by possessing the title of “Second Millionaire Bum’’—Pete Coblentz, former champ _neck- twister of school, is chief whistle blower on the C. O., and is making good—Lee Cohen, of baseball fame, is an important factor in the “painless”? extraction of teeth (and money) from his patients—Our old friend Ely cracks jokes on others instead of vice versa, as he is star comedian on Kieth’s circuit—Now comes Ignatz C., who stars as the feature saxophonist in the Royal Canadians—‘ Joe Military” McLean is star player on the New Yorker Polo Club, expected to cop the National Meet—“Red” Smith occupies the seat of honor in Notre Dame once held by Knute Rockne, and has a champ team this year—Stewart E. has realized his life- long ambition of being the most-traveled bum in the world, having circled the globe twelve times—We see Swats, a second Bobby Jones and the world champ at (miniature) golf—Wall, the G. M. S. track star, is considered by many the best bootlegger in New York, he sells very reasonably—Our handsome drummer, J. Starr Webber, is a hard-boiled ‘“‘shave-tail” in the 346: Infantry; U.S Ate Berry, whose hobby was golf, now holds a trophy for motorcycle speed—Biddle is Head Keeper at Maryland State Asylum, which houses several former classmates who have labored over-zealously— Major”? Chick, Simon Legree the second, of Company A fame, is now considered by the elite of Chicago indispensable to parties, as he furnishes the drinks at a reasonable price—Joe Cook, the only honorary member of the class, is married and living happily with his wife (the fifth one)— Although we could not procure their pictures, we take pleasure in offering for your approval: VENCE F. BURGESS JAMES T. DAME SEYMOUR JAWITZ LEWISBURG, W. VA. SALEM, VA. MONTCLAIR, N. J.

Y., by new air inventions—And here comes our friend Dame, the “Windy One,”’ respected (in his home town) as a prominent Member of Congress. Who’s this with the tool kit and snappy suit? Oh, Dillard G., repairing electric refrigerators instead of being an ice-man—Just found Garrettson, attending the school of his dreams, two six month vacations each year—Someone’s jumping out of that Ford! Heck! only Wrestler Gilmor, the big butter and egg man—What’s that discord in this music hall? We see Henry, with his jazz orchestra, ‘“‘following the gleam” of Isham Jones—Kirk at last realized his ambition. In the year (A. D.) 1962 he entered the Freshman Class at Yarvard and graduates this year—Sweet, buxom maidens serving drinks in schooners, garnished with pretzels. We are in the Beer-Garten operated by Lang—Someone is speaking from the stage of the Met- ropolitan Opera House. The celebrated expression reader of Shakespeare, Mc- Culloch—A familiar face at the Actors Booking Corporation on Broadway, our classmate McFetridge, believed to surpass John Gilbert. Sweet and Low! Who’s this crooner who makes us cry with his melodies? Mitchell, the second Guy Lombardo, with his orchestra—‘‘Corp”’ Neidhart has gained the pinnacle of success, owning the largest harem in existence—Peters owns G. M. S. He has materially improved the food (ice-cream twice a week), and has abolished the beat, S. H. and reception—At the top of his aspirations is Winburn. In the year 1978 he was made a sergeant and has continued soeversince—The Princess Theater of Lewisburg has been completely remodeled and re-opened under the able management of Thompson, R—On April 29, 1977, Ralph Pfahler graduated from G.

They are known as old Slew- foot, Six-ball Sexton, Old Faithful and Gum-shoe Gus. At this point the scene fades. “‘What’s the matter?” I asked the operator. ‘Just a connection blowing out”’ he assures me “‘ but that means no more to-day. Come back laters, We regretfully turn to leave when the operator shouts, “Run for your lives! The auxiliary motor is exploding!’? We run, but before we can leave the room it goes up, I feel myself being blown through the window. 2,000 stories to fall! I scream and re-open my eyes. Then I hit the floor (of my room) with a resounding thump, dragging the bedclothes with me. —WILLARD C. SMITH.

CLIFFORD—194 lbs. ° ee Right Guard ae ae By opening holes in the line and by smearing plays “Jock”? upheld his re- cord of the previous year. When ‘“Nute”’ pulled out to rove behind the line, he could always fill up the hole. Esstcx, J. 150 lbs. Fullback This lad, by working hard all year, earned a chance to show his ability in the Harris game. “Hos” never stopped driving hee to rip their line to pieces. VAUGHAN—202 lbs. Center “Nute” worked with his mate to perfection for the second year. He and Clifford céoperated in making holes in the enemy line as well as forming a stone wall on the defense. FELKER—1Q} lbs. Left End “Otto” not only could smear end runs but was adapt at catching passes both short and long. His speed was fatal to many a punt receiver. CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 DempsEY—170 lbs. Right End After several years of hard work, Johnny finally received a regular position. He could catch passes, go down under punts and smear interference with ease. KramMer—178 lbs. Right Tackle “‘Concrete’’ was not only hard to move, but was capable of moving others easily. He was always ready to give his best whenever called on. PETERSON—175 lbs. End The “ Dixie Flash” could play well enough to be chosen to take the leading part in a football motion picture. He was especially adept in getting down fast under punts and receiving passes. SNYDER, D—186 lbs. Center DeWitt fought hard for a regular position this year. He could block well and pass accurately. FInLEY—177 lbs. Quarterback When it was time to pull a surprise play, Finley was always ready to use his head to advantage. He punted, passed and ran in great style before injuries forced him out of action. r CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 The Football Season GAME BY GAME GREENBRIER 67—E. anv H. “B” TEAM oO Exactly five plays accounted for Greenbrier’s first touchdown of the year. Mizell, fleet fullback, scored on a triple reverse after four plays had advanced the ball forty yards. G. M. S. scored at will. Allen and Mizell each scored three times, while Coblentz, Dempsey and Finley tallied once. (GREENBRIER 60—H.-S. FRESHMEN O The cadets shook Finley loose on the first play after the kick-off and ran seventy yards to score. Within five minutes a long pass and four plays against a fighting line gave G. M. S. another touchdown. The reserves showed to advantage in the final period, scoring four times. GREENBRIER 39—K. M. I. 0 Smith had the best of a punting duel throughout the first half, averaging sixty yards and booting once for seventy-five. In the second period Dempsey, intercepting a pass, put the ball in position for Allen to score a minute later. Finley’s broken field running added two more touchdowns, while Ellis, Felker and Allen accounted for the rest. GREENBRIER 64—R.-M. A. 6 The Green and White eleven gave its followers a big surprise by walloping the Georgia team with such a score. Greenbrier received the kick-off and, after a long pass to Dempsey, sent Allen over for a touchdown before Riverside had touched the ball. G. M. S. crossed the goal line three more times in the first quarter to lead 27-0. The only offense which seemed to click for the visitors was the passing combination, Mason to Themes, who three times completed passes of over fifty yards. Greenbrier’s line worked to perfection. GREENBRIER 39—S. M. A. o Allen, fullback, scored through the line in the first quarter and went off tackle to score again in the second. He also went over on a line buck in the third period and went through center to tally in the fourth. Male, Staunton quarterback, returned a punt to Greenbrier’s two yard line where it was lost on downs. Felker ran eighty yards to score after receiving a pass from Smith. Finley added the final score by intercepting a pass and running fifty-five yards. Finley’s blocking was a feature of the game. (GREENBRIER O—MARSHALL 6 Marshall handed G. M. S. her first defeat by holding her scoreless throughout the game while Hum- phries ran eighty yards in the second period for their only score. The home team made twelve first downs against one for the visitors, gained one hundred and fifty-one yards, against twenty-three, while her punts averaged thirteen yards more, but statistics don’t win ball games. Marshall tightened in the pinches and thus won. Their defensive work was the best seen here this year. CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 GREENBRIER 14—A. M. A. 0 Greenbrier’s fighting cadets won their home-coming game before a crowd of cheering alumni. After a steady march from midfield, Allen crossed the goal line in the first period for the first touchdown; he also plunged for the extra point. In the second quarter a second march was terminated when Allen again went over tackle to score. A pass, Finley to Felker, made the extra point. The work of Crawford, Coblentz and Clifford deserves mention. GREENBRIER 67—H. M. A. 6 The visitors failed in their choice of a passing offense. Mizell intercepted their third try to dash forty yards for the first score, Ellis added the point. Four more touchdowns were added in the first period by Smith, Crawford, Mizell and Ellis. One long pass from Hardin to Thornhill accounted for the visitors’ score. Ellis tallied once for G. M.S. in the second quarter and repeated in the third. Mizell crossed the goal line in the fourth while Essick and Jasper each turned in forty yard runs to complete the scoring. Mizell did good work in running the team in the absence of Smith and Finley. GREENBRIER 15—C. H. S. 0 The cadets stopped the Charleston offense dead in allowing them only two first downs while piling up sixteen for themselves. Allen went over for the first touchdown in the first quarter. A blocked punt by Crawford, which rolled over the Lion’s goal line gave G. M. S. a safety. Ellis plowed over tackle in the third period for the final touchdown. Smith faked a drop kick and passed to Felker for the extra point. Several penalties by the cadets ruined scoring attempts. Smith played probably his best game of the year. Reserves The Reserves worked hard, received more hard knocks than glory (as is the way with the Men Behind the Gains), took time off from varsity competition to play four games, and ended the season with a Perfect Average.

The thanks of the Corps were extended to the Rotary Club, the Business Mens’ Club, and those individuals who worked so hard for our success. At the big Get-together Football Banquet, the season ended in a blaze of oratory and huge platters of fried chicken.—Selah! ¢ CTTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 CrAwFrorp—225 lbs. Right Tackle Ed came to us from Huntington where he starred on the Pony Express line. It did not take the opposing team long to learn that Crawford’s position was not the place to gain ground. ALLEN—185 lbs. Fullback If there were no holes in the line Allen could make one. His never dying fight brought Greenbrier many an extra yard. His record of twenty-one touchdowns speaks well of his ability. CoBLENTZ 210 lbs. Left Tackle Pete’s weight enabled him to stop any line play that came his way. His long kick-offs were a feature in starting the game off right. JASPER—I55 lbs. Half Back Fred worked hard all year preparing for a chance to show his worth. It came in the Harris game in which he constantly made long runs for touchdowns. He also could punt and pass in great style. M1zELL—190 lbs. Half Back Luke was the key to the defense as well as the blocking back of the team. Duke will receive a good man next year in this lad from Atlanta. THE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 BruBEcK—175 lbs. End Shield’s hard tackling made him a difficult man to deal with. His long arms brought down many passes which netted Greenbrier many extra yards. Jones—195 lbs. Guard This stocky guard made up for his lack of height by his aggressiveness. He could handle any line smash that came his way. SmitH, Murray g g) Woks Quarterback Besides running the team with skill, Murray could keep the opposing team away from his goal with his long punts. On the offensive drive down the field he would make long, accurate passes just at the proper time. E.iis—17o lbs. Half Back When the holes were opened in the line Joe was always ready to carry the ball thru into the second- ary. His motto seemed to be: “Why stop with less than eight yards?” Smitu, MeELwoop—175 lbs. Half Back Red used speed and elusiveness to evade opposing tacklers, He was a good pass receiver and a hard, sure tackler.

However, heavier opposition kept them handicapped throughout the schedule.

G CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 CapTaIn BruBECK—Center Shields was leading his team in the right way by outjumping opposing centers and taking his part in the scoring when sickness forced him out of play for over two weeks. As the season pro- gressed, he showed wonderful ability at hand- ling the ball under the basket. Hopes run high for his return next year. FELKER—Forward Red’s fourth year on the team proved to be as successful as the previous seasons. His offense was fast and flashy; he took the lead in scoring early in the season and kept it up throughout the remainder of the games. CLiFFORD—G uard Jock was the keynote on the defense. He kept the scoring of opposing forwards low, while he did his share of making baskets. His cool head was a big factor in his success. PETERSON—Guard Peterson did not get to play much until the season was well under way. When his chance came, he took advantage of it by dropping baskets from all angles. At the end of the year he was but one point behind the high-point man. CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 VAUGHN—Guard “Nute”’ was also Clifford’s mate in basket ball. They worked together in bringing the ball into the offense as well as stopping any plays the opposing teams could offer. When the call came Vaughn moved to center where he worked with the same ability. Hunt—Forward “Chuck’s” being smaller than the others did not hinder his ability. He was fast as well as accurate in his shooting. He shared scoring honors with Jasper. JASPER—Forward This lad came to us from Mt. Hope and early in the season showed that he was able to cope with Greenbrier’s system of play. He was the only member of the squad to win a “G”’ for the first time. His speed helped him to reach the half-century mark in scoring. TuckErR—Manager Victor was never too busy to help a member of the team do anything. He was always on hand to take care of visiting teams as well as the home team. His loyalty and helpful attitude was displayed in the dinner which the squad received at his home.

Wood, Jr., Anderson, Captain Maynard, Felker, Ellis Baseball Squad Greenbrier’s baseball prospects were questionable early in the spring. Second term examinations, an unusually late winter which began just about the time baseball practice usually begins, and a scarcity of boxmen all did their part towards worrying G. M. S. fans. However, the team is swinging along with a -500 mark for four games, and the boys are getting better every day. Captain Maynard holds down first, with Ellis behind the plate and Clifford alternate catcher. Cole- man has done most of the pitching, although Ellis may see box service. Maynard and Conley pitched against the V. M. I. Frosh, and Felker, pitching his first game on any diamond, held Hinton to seven hits and won. Bob Wood plays second, with Zogg or Conley in short. Anderson takes care of third. In the outfield, Adkins uses Willis, Anderson, Wood, left-handed batters, or Felker, Jasper, and Smith, port- side hitters. Koz has been doing some good hitting. Maynard is pounding them again. All in all, with every man on the squad seeing service, prospects are bright. Greenbrier lost to Augusta, playing with one day’s practice, 18 to 2. Then Hinton Independents were defeated 17 to 2. Staunton Military Academy was downed in Staunton, Va., I4 to 12, and the V. M. I. Frosh won a 12 to 7 game in Lexington. Late Scores: G. M.

Crawford took the discus and shot put for a total of 10 points, and Melwood Smith placed 2d in the javelin and the 220 for a total of 6 points. The entire squad worked smoothly. Massanutten Military Academy came from behind by winning all three places in the 220 and taking two places in the 440 to defeat Greenbrier 63 to 54. Skaggs was high point man with Ist in the mile and the half mile, 2d in the 440 and 3d in the 100 for a total of 14 points. Others to place Ist were Crawford, in the discus; Joe Cook, in the 220 hurdles; Montgomery, in the pole vault; Brubeck, tie in the high hurdles. Other placers were W.

These lightweight pigskin artists offered a smoothly-functioning attack made interesting by a variety of well- executed trick plays. Their three-out-of-four record speaks for itself.

Hunt, Knapp, Kessler, Skinner, Green Debating Team Greenbrier’s debating team did not equal the perfect record set by the 1931 combination. However, the cadets proved themselves excellent speakers, and argued with vim and vigor all over this section of the country. Their work should go far towards making this activity, popular with many of the cadets. It is interesting 10 note that the captain of last year’s undefeated team, Wayne Rich, 1s making a name for himself this year as a member of the University of Cincinnati team. Rich took part in the first debate broadcast over WLW, the Crosley Radio Station in Cincinnatt. Greenbrier’s 1932 team debated all three sides of the Greenbrier Triangular Debate Association— Lewisburg, Ronceverte and White Sulphur. Charleston High won an interesting dual-debate from the locals. 1932 Question: “Resolved, That the several states should enact unemployment insurance legislation.” CTHE BRIER PATCH OF 1932 — 2% ee Top Row: Captain Heflin, Failing Seconp Row: C.

Just as you see them pictured on the outside you'll find them on the inside. One big show, going on all the time. Right this way for the POPULAR STARS AND STARESSES!”’ But before we go into details, you might like a few statistics. Two-thirds of the cadets are church members. The Mills Brothers received a unanimous vote for Favorite Radio Tea. The Favorite Radio Orchestras, Guy Lombardo and Cab Calloway. The Favorite Movie Actress, Jean Harlow, with Joan Crawford next in line. The cadets voted that they prefer blondes, proving themselves gentlemen, according to Anita Loos of a-few-years-ago fame. Favorite toothpaste, Ipana, oh, that danger line! And Amos and Andy have a pull, too, for Pepsodent came in second. According to the vote, the cadets expect the Athletics to win the American League flag and the Giants to cop in the National.

Others who did not finish the race were Johnny (Lewisburg) Moore, Bill (Town Boy) Preston, Leland (Boots and Saddles) Metcalf, Un- breakable Glass, Amos Clifford and Andy Vaughan and the Wood (If They Could) Brothers. Bullock and W. Snyder won the blue ribbons for high marks in English, with Turner coming in for a gold medal in the Com- mercial Department. Capt. Parsons Enter- tains in Reception Elite Attend Capt. Parsons was the genial host, quite often, to many Green- brier cadets who were only too glad to give up the sorrows of the outdoors, the swimming pool at Ye Olde White, the gridiron, the court—all those things which pale namby-pamby boys adore— and attend the functions in chapel, where they could write letters and eat peanuts to their hearts’ content. Capt. Parsons provided paper, pen, ink and even furnished de- merits. Ah, how we love Reception! (HaHaHaHaHahahaha!) STAR ATHLETE PASSES Calvin Coolidge Otto Felker passed over the river Sunday at an early hour. Neurotic de- spondence, plus a tendency to- wards eating too many Green- brier Velvet Delights in the Coép Store, was the cause of his act. As well as it could be determined, according to the ‘‘Green-Triers”’ reporter, Oscar passed over on the new Cladwell bridge about 2 p. m. in a flivver. TOUGH BREAK! In spite of a petition cir- culated by a cold draft and signed by every woman in the cadet corps asking that no holiday be granted, Colonel H. B. Moore has decided to make the cadets leave school early in June. The doors will not be opened for over three months. As we go to press, there is moaning and groaning in Greenbrier clan, and it looks like we are in for a tough summer, what with no classes, no beat, no reception— Catch us, lady, this is really more than we can bear. Anti-Cussing Leagues Swing Paddle With Pep Various Anti-Lurid-Language Leagues have done much to purify the air here, Weather reports— fair and warmer. Bronson, But- zin, Tucker and Swats are giving each other Swats each time one or the other cusses one or the other, if you get it or even if you don’t. Also, Charlie Hunt is hitting Anderson, Ellis and Felker whenever they cuss. Charlie Hunt never cusses. Why they let him join we can’t figure out. Skiddleskow, 1931, Kicked Out of College Prominent Ex-Cadet Becomes Ex-Collegian Oswald X. Skiddleskow, Class of 1931, joined the list of im- morals this spring by leaving Rahvard-Pale Univ. on the busi- ness end of the Dean’s No. 10 right Walkover shoe. Oswald carried the name of Geewhata Military School into the world with him, and covered it with goo. A letter from good old “X”’, signed simply ‘‘Oswald X. Skid- dleskow’’ for short, was read in assembly yestere’en as an in- spiration to his former fellows. BRIER PATCH UNDERGOING OPERATION Staff Preparing for Final Writes As this goes to press—Decem- ber 13, 1931—the Brier Patch Staff is preparing for the final writes on the book. The hospital authorities in Roanoke are sharp- ening up their utensils, ready to make a stew, or maybe a printer’s pi. All indications are that when the book comes to you it will HAVE ITS PAGES CUT and sth WITHOUT AN APPEN- Ole Butchie Snyder had a terrible corn— That ached just dreadful from morn to morn— Now there was a guy to save the day— Who said he could cure it in his own sweet way— He took off his shoe, trimmed up his corn— Kissed ‘‘ Butch’’ goodnight—and said ‘‘I'll see you in the morn.”’ Greenbrier Sports Seethe and Boil as Snow Delays Base- ball Practice TRACK MEN IMPORTED FROM C. O. R. R. By Hugh Fullerbull Local sports fans have been waving slowly these days, what with the palmy winter weather we're having this April. The weight men have been working out on the scales, the high jumpers have stepped off the roof, the pole vaulters have used the Greenbrier Valley vaults for indoor practice, the sprint men are—well, we can’t exactly re- member, but we DO know that things haven’t been what they would have been if the weather had been what it should have been. The C. O. R. R. has sent in a gang of track men to help out the old Alma Mater. The B. O. R. R., according to reports, is all burned up over this unfair rivalry. As for the merry-go- round, it’s running around in circles. C. B. Allen is training the hurdlers, and Horace Goodman has charge of the soft drink dispensers. All in all, it looks like a bad night for sailors on a sea like this. G. M. S. Faculty Defeats G. C. W. Five The Roaring Five of G. M. S. went into action against the Greenbrier College basket ball team in the High School gym last week and emerged victorious, after a tough battle, by the score of 1 to 0. Tabscott, a Greenbrier ringer, scored the deciding point after being fouled by Miss Currie, who clipped him from behind just as the local star was crossing the goal line with the baseball hidden in a brown sealskin valise. The fielding of Miss Thompson, shortstop, and Miss Frisbie, play- ing right halfback, was the feature of the game. For the Roarding Five, Mc- Gruder and Adkins contributed towards success by going to Ronceverte that evening. The line-up and summary: G.M.S. Position G.C.S D. T.

Whilikens Talks On and On and On—and— Rumford G, Whilikens stood on the chapel rostrum and roasted em the other morning. According to Mr. Whilikens, it was a pleasure to be here before so many fine-looking wide awake young men. He started life himself without a shirt to his back, and he finally managed to possess six shorts. Then he sent them to the laundry and was right back where he had started. The speaker eulogized his fight . for fame, and wound up with the modest admission that all that he is or hopes to be he owes to his own ability. After he finished the boys woke up and applauded vigorously, some hoodlum in the back row having passed along the word that Capt. Heflin has just an- nounced that there would be no literary societies that week.

Wheatie-Petie—Wheatie-Petie— Hear the song birds call- Northwestern Professor Looking For Boy Prodigy Passes Over Local Stars Several of the local luminaries might have been observed, if you had had a good observatory, dusting off the old school books last week after reading in the noosepapers that a NW Professor was searching for a bright fellow, under 14, to send to NW for four years. However, the big boy from NW passed through Greenbrier like a special train hustling through Ronceverte. He said the only thing he had seen here which reminded him of study was the Captain Barty—Captain Schaef- er collegiate den on the top stoop. Captains Barty—Schaefer are both over 14, so Greenbrier couldn’t send a representative.

Of course Weede Meyer’s orches- tra had SOMETHING to do with the success of the party, but it DID make the Kollege gurruls mad every time they saw ‘‘the blonde in the green dress with gray stripe.’’ Poor Kelly thought he was going to be ostracized for a while, but now we hear from our under- cover man that he’s as popular as ever across the way.
