Corporal, Co. “B”: Corporal, Co. “C ; Colonel Football Modern Language Medal. 193 1-32 Second Lieutenant, Co. “C’’; Green Briars Staff; Colonel Football. 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. Private, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Glee Club. 1931-32. Private, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Rifle Team; Midget Basket Ball. James is following in the footsteps of his brother, both in making grades and playing the trumpet. If he always does his best, we will hear big things of him in a year or so, Good luck, Pride of Hinton! May you always sink your shots. JOHN M. DEMPSEY LEWISBURG, W. VA.

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 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. Private, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Company Basket Ball; Reserve Basket Ball. 1930-31. Corporal, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Reserve Basket Ball. 1931-32. Private, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Fallen Angels; Colonel Basket Ball. 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! On, Wisconsin ! SHIELDS A. BRUBECK BECKLEY, W. VA. Lacy 1930-31. Private, Co. “‘A’’; Varsity Basket Ball and Track: “G Club? : 1931-32. Corporal, Co. ‘‘A’’; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Varsity Football and Track; Captain of Basket Ball: “G Club, Shields tried his luck at end this year and made it. 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. Corporal, Band; Green Briars Staff; Green and White Orchestra. Lee has plenty of pep, vim and vigor. He is a regular tasty-yeast jester. Here’s luck, Lee—if you will make yourself hit hard and straight, you will go far and high! =

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. Private, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Varsity Football, Basket Ball; Track, Rifle Team; “‘G” Club; Dramatic Club; Pitt Club. 1929-30. Corporal, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Pitt Club; Putt and Shoe Club; Varsity Football, Basket Ball and Track; “G”’ Club; Fallen Angels; Pitt Club. 1930-31. First Sergeant, Headquarters Co., Band Section; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; President of “G’ Club; Sigma Lambda Chi Fraternity; Pitt Club; Putt and Shoe Club; Varsity Football, Basket Ball; Captain, Boxing and Track. 1931-32. Captain, Co. “C3 Varsity. Football, Basket Ball, Boxing, Track and Baseball Teams; Sigma Lambda Chi; Pitt Club; Boot and Spur Club; “G” Clubs hia Club: We could say so much about “Otto” that it would take a page or two. Ask any man in Company “C” about him. Then, too, look at the above honors, they speak for themselves. G. M. S. will miss this athlete. WILLIAM WRIGHT FITZSIMMONS, Jr. ELIZABETH, N. J. 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.
