Herbert M., better known to his inti- mates as Paper Boots, is a jolly good fellow and a darned good judge of how to answer dithcult questions in class. Some- times he gets stuck for talking while the instructors are instructing, but often enough his ready wit and frank smile Save him the ignominy of having to answer Correct, Sir. Canter is a good officer, too. JACK E. CHAMPION Fort Smith, Ark.

We're referring to his well-known smile. Champ would make a fine roommate if it were not for his Apache Indian inclinations, which lead him to bite people, to throw pillows, to toss pitchers and to heave telephones when- ever he goes on football trips. Once an Irishman leaned idly against the bar in Ethridge's Post Exchange. His breath hisses in and out like the escaping steam from a kettle. A lock of hair hung down over his forehead beneath his Tam O' Shanter. An old brier pipe completed the picture. And the Irishman talked in a loud voice about a small town in Arkan- sas that the natives call Fort Smith. A certain traveler, Marco Polo Bruno, claims that there actually is such a state in the middle west, though few people have actually seen it. However, we will be honest: If it holds many like Champ, we would like to go there.

l l W HE RIER PATCH N CHARLES R. BELTZ Pittsburgh, Pa. lllilitnry: Private, Company B, IOZQ-30: Supply Sergeant, Headquarters Company, 1930-32, Sergeant, Company Q, Jolly Pitt Gang, Pennsylvania Club, Grant-Briar: Staff, Non-Coms Club, Fallen Angels, Lacy Literary ociety. Beltz held a high place in our affections. He always had a smile for everyone. His military ability shot him straight up to Supply Sergeant, Headquarters Company-and then his propensity for having fun made him shoot off that fun in his quarters. Result-you guess! But being busted didn't erase his smile. He kept right on doing his duty and attending to business. This past year he made line grades in his classes until after Christmas, when he gathered up his diploma on some sort of special permit, having come back only for special work, and walked off to Cornell. VVe hated to see you leave, Beltz.

Holy Rollers, 1932-33, Lacy Literary Society, 1931-32-33. Bill Berry, football player do luxe, good looking, friendly, slow to act, dependable. Berry likes Greenbrier so much that he even spends his vacation days at Camp Shaw-Mi-Deb Bea, swimming and Fishing-and coming to town to give the girls a treat. VVe're betting on you to go places in this old world, Bill. And when Greenbrier plays Staunton in Virginia, you get out the old cadet uniform, dust it off, don it, and join us at the game! HOMER O. BIDDLE New York, N. Y. Military: Private, Company D, 1928-29-30-31-321 bless Sergeant, Headquarters Company, 1932-33. Orgrrnizalionr: Bruin: Parcu Staff, 1929-30-31-31-33, junior Class Debate, 1931-32g Assistant Manager, Boxing and Wrestling, 1930-31. . Society: Philomatliian Literary Society, 19:8-33. Homer Biddle hides a gleeful interior under a smooth cherub-like expression, if you get what we mean. He leads the bunch in many of his classes, and he can learn anything he wants to, but he sometimes prefers to bluff. Seriously speaking, there isn't a boy in school with greater ability than this fellow from New York. He can even write acceptable poetry when he wants to, which isn't often. Wie. expect to see him make a real record. JAMES R. BILLINGSLEY VVhite Sulphur Springs, W. Va. lllilitary: Private, Company IA, IQQI-32, Corporal, Company B. ' Orga11izalio11,r.'

He IS .probably going to be ye olde country squire one of these days. He is an excellent student, likes to read, knows how to put up a logical argument in debate, can act, boxes gcczisionally, 'engoys a refreshing swim, and is never unable to adjust himself to his environment. uc 1 a man is ortunate.

Student Council, 1932-33: Philornathian Literary Society, 193:-33. jack Burroughs, with his good-natured grin and his soft pronunciations, came up from Tarheel Land to show the fellows what North Carolina could put out in the way of an all- round athlete and good fellow. He succeeded in a big Way and he hits that baseball like a fiend! Jack knows when to be serious, however. He is also much in demand when the ladies are present. He is quite a debater and, together with Frank Crawford, holds the record in the Fifth Section of English IV. Ask him about his spring vacation trip to New York, +21 11 ie

John Chick, the tall lad from up where they make automob1les, knows his mght life, his General Motors, his military and his Math. I-Ie is at home in the water, although he may prefer another element. He is popular at the college across the way. VVe won't venture to predict where he will be twenty years from now, but it will be some place worth while. CARROLL COLEMAN Huntington, VV.

West Virginia Club, 1931-33, GU Club, 1931-333 Lacy Literary Society, 1931-33. Have you ever seen a fellow who really had to plug to get Math? Then you have some idea of Chili's jinx. Chili has been here a year and a half and has made his letter in three sports. As a pitcher, he really comes into his own. He never bragsg he never alibis. Chili is conscientious, a good sport, a true friend. WILLIAM G. COOK Busbkill, Pa. Mililary: Private, Band, 1930-32: Sergeant, Band, 1932-33g First Sergeant, Band, 1932-33. .

Grube comes from the big City of Bushkill. Nobody ever heard of the village before, but everyone knows about it now. Grube talks about it all the time. He has so many nicknames he can't keep track of them all. A few are: joe, Bill, Bike, Best VVishes. VVhen anyone needs help or wants to borrow anything, he looks up Grube. VVe don't know whether or' not the people of Bushkill have the same peculiar walk Grube has, but there isn't anybody in the school who can offer any serious competition. He acts the part of the tough top kick' in the Band. He really isn't so tough. He carries one of the big bass horns around on his shoulder from' EDVVIN S. CRAVVFORD Huntington, W. Va.

G Club, 193i-332 Lacy Literary Society, 1931-33. Eddie Crawford is one of Greenbrier's best all-round athletes as well as an all-round good fellow. Everybody is Eddie's friend. He hangs his hat in Huntington, where all the cows and chickens-especially the chickens--come to the train every time he comes home. Like these other First City of W. Va. boys, he seems to be proud of it. GEORGE LEE DILLARD Bluefield, VV. Va. Itlilitnry: Private, Company C, 193 1-325 Corporal, Company C, 1932-33.

George is a proud son of Bluefield. He is never in study hall, but he studies a large part of the time, as his grades will testify. George is a great fisherman. He tells us a bunch of names of fishes and books and thingsg maybe he's right-we don't know the difference. He might be kidding us. He plays Colonel football, and claims he plays guard. He is on the rilie team, is Assistant Sports Editor of this yearbook, and has worked up from a corporalship to a sergeantship Qpardon us, Navyj. This fine friend has also been honored by being elected to the Student Council. s September till June. -s2f13 fa-
