Joe Ellis left before Commencement, much to our sorrow, and didn't leave a write-up of his senior honors. However, we can tell you that this Virginian was an outstanding football player. Everyone who ever heard of Greenbrier's 1932 foot- ball team knows that. VVhat he did to opposing defensive players was something to write to the papers about, which is just what was done. He hails from the town where Sherwood Anderson, one of America's premier writers, is editing a couple of newspapers. Maybe Joe will end up as a novelist-or a character in a novel.

Fitz can take it, but usually he gives it. We are referring especially to his work in the well-known squared circle. Although he wasn't here to have his picture taken with the boxers, he deserves to have it there, and we take this opportunity to say so. Fitz is a charter member of the New Joiseyn Club, as he hails from that section where they eat toikey. He is one of those good-natured Irisl1men, fun-lov- ing, with plenty of ability and a darned good wallop to use for anything, whether it be in boxing, studies, football, basket ball or social activities.

We know one of his glaring weaknesses, and that is green dresses. Ask him about Danville.

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-

Ofg1mi:'.ation.r.- Ohio Club, 1929-33, Philomalhian Literary Society, 1929-33. Peter Stuyvesant the Second, who is hailed around these parts as Ozro, is the little Dutchman who goes over big with all the ladies. He lives away down on Plum Street in Lynchburg. CWVhat? You never heard of Lynchburg? You thought it was in Virginia? Durnblj He is known widely for his fine pool game and his ability to chew straws perched up on one of the stools in the Lynchburg Pharmacy. I-Ie has been a prominent figure around old G. M. S. for the past four years. His enormous ability to eat is the awe of all the new boys. He stands out in the fall as that fighting Colonel tackle. VVe hope he will be as successful in the cruel world as he is at goldbricking around Greenbrier. Here's to you, Ozro-you're okeh! VVILLIAM SLACK HOPPSTETTER Huntington, W. Va. Illililnry: Private, Band, 1931-33. 1llhlA'tir.r.' Colonel Football, Midget Basket Ball, 1932-33. Organizaiianr: Forensic Club, 1932-335 Philomathian Literary Society. Does he like football? YVell, if you will look at the Colonel football picture you will find Hopp, and if you will look at the Midget football picture-there he is again! He also works around the back campus with the track team. He takes life slow and easy most of the time. His face opens up for a whole-hearted grin whenever he doesn't know the answer to a question. He is a good mathematician, when he wants to be. The girls don't seem to bother him. He will get there-meaning: Wherever he wants to go. CHARLES W. IGNATIUS Cincinnati, Ohio lllilitnfy: Private, Band Section, 1929-QOQ Corporal, Band Section, 1930-319 Sergeant, Band Section, 1931-321 First Lieutenant, Band. Section. 1 u 0rga11izatio1u.' Ohio Clubg Non-Commissioned Oliicers Club, Commissioned Ofhcers Clubg Philomathian Literary Society, Orchestra, 1929-33. Illerlnlr: Scholarship, Band. Special Honor: Senior Class Orator. Is Iggy a good student? Well, the second term he made a bad grade on English IV exam, which was his lowest. A terrible grade. A shameful grade. Only 98! His favorite occupation is kidding Canter. His next favorite is shining his boots so that they resemble ebony mirrors. He is a good speaker, has personality, can be businesslike when necessary, and would make a good executive, steamship captain, bandmaster or professor. But who can tell? Maybe he will decide to be a street car conductor. If he does, we will wager he will speed up all the stiff grades on his route. FREDERICK VVILLIAM JASPER Glen jean, VV. Va. Jllilitnry: Private, Company B, 1931-325 Corporal, Company B, 1932-33. fltltlfticr: Varsity Football, 1931-333 Varsity Basket Ball, 1931-33: Varsity Baseball, 1931-33. SoCieg'gl11LiZIIli07lJ.' Student Council, 1932-33: GU Club, 1931-355 Forensic Club, 1931-335 Philomathian Literary If ever you enter thc Golden Gates of the City of Glen jean, you will be bound to know' Fred. That is, if you stop for any length of time at the one filling station where he holds his summer workout. . This is his second year here and he has six letters to his credit. He was captain of basket ball, and a good leader. He is a snappy corporal. Many military geniuses come from the ranks. Maybe if he were here a few more years he would be a captain or something. VVe thi11k so. Fred says that the dances we hold in tl1e gym at drill period are wonderful, so helpful to one's mind. It does lift a lot of weight off you when they are over. His famous last words: I don't think so. -sg 15
