Corporal, Co. ‘‘B’’; Non-Commissioned Officers Club; Green Briars Staff; Ohio Club. 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! WILLIAM SAMUEL KERR STEUBENVILLE, OHIO Philomathean 1929-30. Private, Co. ‘‘B’’; Ohio Club; Colonel Football. 1930-31. Private, Co. “B’’; Ohio Club; Dramatic Club; Colonel Football. 1931-32. 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.
