Artis was a great football man Qeven if he did admit it, under pressurej, and was a promising member of the basket ball squad until his knee failed him. He knows his stuff in track, too. As this goes to press, we have just had word that he knocked two home runs in Clifton Forge on his first two trips to the plate. Artis's only enemies, so far as we know, are Algebra, Geometry, Physics and En- glish. His strong forte is checkers. CHARLES EVANS STEWART Pittsburgh, Pa.

Mulalr: Winner of Ott Mathematics Medal, 1930-Sl. Another Pittsburgh boy leaves G. M. S. with a fine chance to set the pace in college. He has attained high scholastic standing here, and the fact that he has selected Dartmouth as his future Alma Mater proves that he isn't afraid of hard work. He is prominent in all social activi- ties. ROBERT THOMPSON Ridley Park, Pa.

His tall form finds trouble adapting itself to classroom seats, and he needs little encouragement to make him eligible for a report, Sitting improperly in class. His work on the Blum PATCH this year was invaluable. .

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

G Club, 1932-333 Pliilomathian Literary Society, 1932-33. Did you ever hear of anyone quick like a rabbit? Well, this is Tomchik's favorite expression. He is just a Pennsylvania Dutchman trying to get along, but he got along very well in the wrestling ring, and when he starts to high jump the sky is the limit. He has done exceptionally well in his studies. JOHN S. TRIEM Pittsburgh, Pa. Jllililary: Private, Company C, 1930-313 Private, Company A, 1931-323 Corporal, Company C, 1932-33.

John Triem is the fellow who had to run around gathering up the lists of members of the various organizations so that the Barak PATCI-1 might go to press. He has a keen sense of humor, although he doesn't go in for slap-stick tricks such as tossing trash cans down the steps and throwing paper around the stoops. He sings. He works with the Dramatic Club. He uses ye olde bow and arrow. Truly, we have here a man of versatility. ' JAY TE WINBURN Montclair, N. I.

He claims that l1e usually wins his wrestling matches with VValker and Ehmka, although they say he is all wet in that respect. One thing is certain-he iS11,t all wet in 'other ways. For this New Jersey boy is a good student, a good military man and a dependable, friendly cadet. ROBERT C. WOOD Lewisburg, VV. Va.

S., has been with us for more years' than many of us have known about Lewisburg. That doesn't mean that he is old. It merely means that he has been attending Greenbrier since his early grade school days. In the classroom, Bob always manages to place with the leaders. Incidentally, he is editor-in-chief of this book-but this is one write-up he won't see until tl1e book is printed! VVILLIAM YOUNG Elkhorn, W.
