CARLOS LUIS ALVAREZ Maximo Gomez 6 Altos Caibarian, Las Villas, Cuba Chico hails from the steep hills of Caibarien where they raise people with loud voices. He, together with Archie and Villafana, made the town of Lewisburg regret that there were composers who could write such loud songs. Chico made his stay at The Brier worth while, making good marks and using all his ability in sports. During his four years journey, Chico advanced to the grade of First Sergeant in Company B, with Blindo Stewart commanding the slops. Chico is going to miss the Brier and the school across town. We hope that he is a great success in the years to come. We also hope to see him with the rest of the gang at Homecoming. The girls in Cuba are getting their other Idol back. How do you like that! RICHARD CEDRIC BARKER 2465 Farleigh Road, Columbus 12, Ohio This big red-headed cowboy from Columbus is really a big Western Joe from somewhere near Jackson Hole country in Wyoming. He plays the guitar and sings like Tex Ritter or is it Gene Autrey? No-it's like Lex Barker. Every now and then he lets that long hair go in favor of a crew cut. He vowed he would never go near the College across town, but has been seen there quite regularly, especially since Christmas. After four years he ends up as company commander and captain of A for Admirablef' He starred on the Big Brass team which finally won over the Greenbrier College gals in a terrific show for the March of Dimes Fund. Everybody likes Big Lex from the wide open spaces, even if we never can hgure out whether he lives in Ohio or Wyoming. RICHARD LOWELL BLAND Eleanor, West Virginia This is another four-year All-American Red-Head candi- date. He is a platoon sergeant in Company D. An alleged woman hater, we are waiting for the day when some little blonde cutie takes Doc to the cleaners! He likes hill-billy music and we would like to have a dollar for every hour Doc has listened to someone wailing about a broken heart you left me waiting at the church in the hills of old Kentucky come give me your candy kisses in this old house where you wrote the letter edged in black swearing you'd always love your little darlin'-if you follow us, or even if you don't. He gs ?dgood football player. His favorite classes are Trig. and o 1 . page twenty LEOPOLDO BRICENO Calle California, Quinta La MiIagrosa , Urbanizacion Las Mercedes, Caracas, Venezuela Leo hails from Caracas, Venezuela, the city of the oil. Leo came to the Brier during the second term of 1952. He liked it and came back to seal it oi? with gold paint. Briceno is a versatile jazz fan and his preferred interpreter is Thelonious Monk. If you watched Briceno during the year you probably saw him accompanied by the rest of the spicks-Archie, Chico and Villafana. They were probably heading for GCW, but someone else held them up on their way. Good Luck to you, Leo, and I hope that you are a great success in your career. We also hope that wherever you go, don't forget that we are back here and we don't want you to forget the Brier and the good times we had together. GEORGE FREDERICK BROOKS 55 East Main St., Richwood, West Virginia Fred has been with us two years, and in that time he has written some girl's name all over his school books. Looks to us like he never studies English or mathematics or history, but just that girl from back Richwood way. Brooks hails from the town made famous by a newspaper named the News Leader, edited by Jim Comstock and Bronsom McClung, which never used a word when two pictures will do. We mention i.e. here to give the N-L a bit of free publicity QSend in your subscription todayj because we know Fred would want us to boost anything about his old home town. We don't think Fred has ever had to walk the beat. He has done all right at The Brier, where he pounds out the rhythm on the drums in the band. He is a real fan of Perez Prado, and likes those mombo records. BILLY JOE CARDER l24 Woodland Ave., Clarksburg, West Virginia One of the unusual thrills at Greenbrier is to watch Billy joe rush away from retreat to dash hurriedly to A stoop and pick up his teeth. Billy joe, the handsome guy, is a Green- brier College regular. He plays a mean game of Jayvee football-not at the college, you understand, but on Mathews field. He can't stay away from Greenbrier County and has spent several summers as an Indian brave at Camp Shaw- Mi-Del-Eca. A confirmed night rider, we hear Billy joe was a ring leader of the dreaded Vigilantes. We would not call BJ a regular beat walker, but he has been known to skip around the flag pole during afternoon hours.
