Organizatiann Philomathian Literary Society. Peters is an eel in the wrestling arena. He moves around carefully, slowly a11d then darts in for the kill. We wouldn't want to be the other fellow. He is quiet a good part of the time, but when there is something to be done- there he is. He played football. He played basket ball. He gets things done. LYLE BOGGESS PIPER Princeton, VV. Va. Illilihzry: Private, Company C, 1930-315 Cor- poral, Company B, 1931-325 Second Lieutenant, Headquarters Company, Band Section, 1932-33. .fIthlr!ir.r: Archery, 1930-32. 0rga11ization1.'

Making footprints on the sands of time . . . He was once a private, but now he is a Looeyl And, although he isn't a Scotch- man, all you have to do to make him dance is to sing The Campbells Are Coming? Stop blushing, Piper! Piper is another good bow-and-arrow man. He is a VVest Virginia Mountaineer. He keeps his boots looking like twin ebony mirrors, running neck and neck with Iggy in this department. His room is always neat at inspection. He knows his military. To paraphrase Macbeth, Hail, worthy friend, worthy cadet! HERBERT ADDISON PORTER Bossevain, Va. Illililary: Private, Company A, 1931-323 Cor- poral, Company B, 1932-33. Alltlrticn' Varsity Football, 1931-335 Colonel Basket Ball, I93I-33, Track, 1931-32, Rifle Team, lgjbsghnizativnrs Virginia, 1931-335 Philomathian Literary Society, 1931-33. Little Herbie is that s-l-o-w-t-a-l-k- i-n-g cadet from Bossevain. He was a classy end on the varsity football team, and his slowness was forgotten while he was forward on the Colonels basket ball machine. He can be seen every 'Monday down town sporting a G sweater, of which he is rightfully proud. His favorite pastimes are algebra and English. Some people say that he has never combed his hair, but We know that he has, tfwire. He is also on the rilie team, and he is good at shooting both targets and the old bologna.

Clarke Gable the Second-maybe even the First. That's Mac. Keats said it: A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Ask l1im about the spring vacation trip to Saltville! Mac is a long, tall, true-as-steel cadet who is popular with his fellows, never has any trouble getting dates at good old G. C. VV., watches for his mail with intensity, knows his military, usually has the right answer ill classes, and manages to get a whole lot of joy out of living. ROBERT L. MITCHELL Charleston, W. Va. Mitch left us after Christmas. We didn't want him to go, but sometimes things break that way. He left without handing in his senior honors, but we can assure you that he had them. Mitch was a member of the Student Council. He was always interested in student activities, and numbered his friends by the score. WILLIAM JOHN MOORE Lewisburg, VV. Va. dlilitary: Corporal, Company D, 1929-30-31, Sergeant, Company C, 1931-32Q Second Lieutenant, Company C, l935- 33- Alhlzlius Midget Football, 1929-325 Colonel Football, 1932-33, Assistant Manager, Track, l93I-32, Manager, Tr k 1 2- '. acOrgfiJ1iiza:iion.1: Non-Commissioned Olhcers Club, 19:9-32g Commissioned Oflicers Club, 1932-335 Great Lovers Clubg Cliislers Club, Lacy Literary Society, 1929-33. Johnny is a hard man to stop when he gets a football under his arm. Plenty of Midget and Colonel opponents have found that out during the past few years. Last year he could have starred easily on the Midgets, but he preferred to play on the next higher team, and he gave a fine account of himself in the backfield, Johnny hails from Lewisburg, as you might guess. The fact that he is the president's son hasn't kept him from taking the hard kll0CkS along with the rest of the fellows, and no one is more popular with the cadets than this grinning fellow with the mussed up hair. Pardon us! We forgot that johnny is in love. Ah, love! And since that happy fall, his hair is always carefully slicked down so that he looks like Robert Montgomery himself. Johnny's favorite poems all deal with a girl named-you guess, it shouldn't be diflicult. . J. VVILLIAM NEIDHART McKeesport, Pa. Mililzzrys Private, Company B, 1930-313 Corporal, Company C, 1931-31, First Sergeant, Company B, 1932-33. .4lhl1'tir.r: Archery, 1930-329 Boxing Squad, 1932-33, Assistant Manager, Track, 1931-33.

He draws cartoo11s. He helps manage the track a11d field athletes. He boxes like Firpo. He sits around in the yard across the street and reads magazines. He is one of those hard-boiled sergeants. Hep-two-three-FO'l And when someone drops a rifle- Nice going in there! But he really isn't so tough, when' you know him. He laughs at everything, and has a jolly good time. He is another good student who should make a fine record in college. VVe expect to hear fine things of Neidy when he reaches the collegiate cloisters pale. HAROLD RICHMOND PARKS Jenkins, Ky. - Jlliliinry: Private, Company D, 1930-31, Corporal, Company C, 1931-32: Staff Sergeant, 1932-33. f1llzIetirJ.'AVarsity Wrestling Team, 1931-331 Midget Football, 1932-331 Midget Basket Ball, 1930-33. . 0rgamz:'zt1on.r.- Kentucky, 1930-339 Non-Commissioned Olhcers, 1931-339 G Club, 1931-335 Philomathian Literary Society, 1930-33. This lceydet is from old Kentucky, where the horses are fast, the women are pretty, and beer has taken the place of wine. And is he proud of the old home state! just mention the fact that murders sometimes occur there--the newspapers are all liars! That's the spirit, Parksy- we don't blame you for standing up for the old Blue Grass section. He is the Keeper of the Keys to the clinic, and it is to him we pray for our daily portions of grub when we are in the inhrmary. Some day he will be either a big Navy man or a big doctor-maybe both. -if 17 fif-

Have you ever read Horatio Alger, jr.? So had Kelly, so he decided to emulate the heroes of those stories and make good on tl1e big team. He plugged away, always dependable, always out for practice, and tl1is year he won l1is reward. Not only did he make his G and play in most of the big games, but he captained the team on Thanksgiving Day in his home town, It paid to take a beating, didn't it, Kelly? Our Blushing Captain, as he is occasionally callled, lis- also quite a ladies' man. They seem to grovel at his feet-sometimes. But does he care? Not he. His motto is, Nine Ollt of ten times indifference gets 'eml Kelly is one of the most popular ollicers in school. PRENTICE REEVES Columbus, Ohio Reeves liked home so well that he left without handing in any senior honors. However, we hated to sec him go. Although this was his first year with us, we learned to like him. Don't forget your Greenbrier pals, Reeves, and come back to see us sometime. JAMES ANDREVV RHODES VVilliamson, VV. Va.

If you have read the story of Tom Sawyer you also have read the life of Lieutenant Rhodes, otherwise known as Andy. Andy is known as the fellow who does all things others would like to do-such as his regular Sunday walk to Caldwell. If you haven't acquired the art of handling your tobacco, any form, ask Andy to demonstrate a11d he will show you how. But he doesn't use it on the school grounds. Acquiring the friendship of Lieutenant Rhodes is easy, but to lose it is diHicult, for he is true to his friends. Some people say a uniform makes tl1e man, but the way to find out is to 'iAsk the Man VVho Owns Onell-Lieutenant Rhodes.

From the depths of the innermost recesses of The Musical Generals comes the sl1rill squeak of a violin. This is Robie at the wheel of the first and only violi11 in tl1e orchestra. And can he play! Rubenstein and his violi11 have nothing at all on this boy from Pitt. Remember how he pulled a megaphone crooning act between acts of the play? The girls remember, if you don'tl Many will follow the crowd, but few will rebuke their companions because they believe differently. Robie is an honest, courageous friend. Rudy can well be proud of his record at Greenbrier. He has starred in a musical way, 011 the basket ball court, and as sports editor of the yearbook and contributor to the paper. -at 19 as
