RALPH SMALLRIDGE HITCHCOCK Gassaway, West Virginia Hitch has had it! He is sitting here as we write this so it is hard to tell just what will come out. Hitch doesn't bother with the college, gets a letter about every day from some girl he has fooled up Clarksburg way. He has been here four long years, has a sleeve full of stripes. He studies at times, even in night study hallg he trifles at timesg he has been known to walk the beat. He rooms with the bullwhip expert and their room usually looks like someone has just driven a bulldozer through the premises. He tries to shoot pool, enjoys swimming, hiking, and archeryg his aim in life is to defy Maj. Praeger and keep his long hair. JAMES HUDSON HUFFARD 7l0 Tazewell Avenue, Bluefield, Virginia Hud hails from the city where the state line runs right down the middle of Main Street, smartly lives on the Old Dominion side to save paying sales taxes. He likes to listen to blues and jazz records. It is rumored he took a chance on leaving us last year about the time a trash barrel blazed up in flames and smoke. The Greenbrier Hotel pool in White Sulphur Springs is one of his favorite recreation spots. As far as we know, he hasn't been taken in by either the young ladies of the college ot the town. Intelligence officers are trying to find out if he is a B Company spy, as he is often seen in Sayre's room in C Company. DAVID HURST Eduardo Conde No. 2105, Santurce, Puerta Rico Davisito, like the others call him, hails from the land of Puerta Rico where all is perfect. His motto is Never comb your hair and Dufour had to take drastic measures because the kid took Dufour's request like murder. David is one of those camera carrying boys. Prado told him once he was the best full-blooded Puerta Rican and David took it so seriously he was ready to hit congress again. Well, David, you know We are just joking with you and we hope you like our jokes. If you ClOI'l,I, protest to Pradog it was his idea. David is also a member of the Latin Council. He sparked the soccer team of the Latin-American boys many times. page tufentyafour JAMES BOYD KEISLING 741 Washington Avenue, Carnegie, Pennsylvania This big fellow played a lot of good football for the Fight- ing Cadets. During the third term, we noticed he also played a lot of permits to go to the library for a research theme, and judge he is after his Ph. D. His senior oration was one of magnificent eloquence even if we are still trying to figure out what he talked about. Slim Jim managed to stay quiet only while sleeping and is even reported to be a snorer. If you can't find him, just look for Duke Schneider and there will be jim also. Jim is known as a sharp-shooter in intramural basketball, as never once did one of his shots fail to hit the floor. JOHN PATRICK KILLORAN 315 Bell Drive, Lewisburg, West Virginia This local-boy-makes-good candidate divides his time pretty well between GMS and town. He likes the outdoors, talks like he may end up as a forest ranger. -I. P. has one of the best miniature railroad systems to be found anywhere, can tell you all you want to know, and maybe things you don't, about railroad trains. He is always seen around the Brier with Bland, tries to outdo him in letters from the girls. He drives like the wind and probably will end up as a racing star. He is a member of the Camera Club and can take your likeness at a moment's notice. He upholds the honor of the Lewisburg Leisure Lovers. FLOYD BEATTIE LAWRENCE Plasfico, Virginia Big Floyd Lawrence dates the college now and then. He has a system for getting by with murder as a trifier in a mild way around GMS, but has been known to walk the beat. He was an outstanding back on the varsity football team. He likes to play, which helps a lot. As an Infirmary Gold Bricker, Dick land we still can't figure why Dick D ranks No. l, wins the leather medal. He is quite proud of Vir- ginia-the state, that is-and thinks the sun shines nowhere so brightly as in the Old Home State. His infectuous grin and good humor will stand him in good stead.

JAMES GRATTON WITTEN GILLESPIE 2205 Oak Avenue, Newport News, Virginia Dizzy Gillespie, the fellow who fought a cold war up in his room every night, will probably end up like former Greenbrier Cadet Roger Droodles Price, a star on tele- vision. We'll be watching and listening. Dizzy, when you expound on the dangers of the atomic bomb in an open held. Gillespie can't keep up with Fox during those jam sessions. However, you never see one without the other. They have even walked the beat together. He played Jayvee football last year, went in strictly for trifling this year, but claims he gave it up for classes so he could get that diploma. All in all, it's nice having Dizzy around and being around Dizzy. RQNALD DAVID HACKETT 659 Hollywood Drive, Monroe, Michigan Here's the guy from the town named after that movie blonde. Ron the Cat has been with us only one year. He is a believer in Mr. B tBilly Eckstinel shirts with the rolling collars, peg pants, and suede shoes, not to mention long hair-which he tries to grow but can't. He loves to jitter- bug. He has a path worn from GMS to GCW, and this year claims he is majoring in women and pool. He has staked out one-half our pool table as his own. With all this, Ron makes good grades, and doesn't know what Night Study Hall is like. He is full of jokes and good humor and gets along with everybody. Always will. JOHN MICHAEL HAMILTON Mt. Rt. l7, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania Mike is our Bevo Francis Hamilton, who led B Company to a thrilling intramural upset basketball victory over C Company. He is loud at times, tired at times from walking around the well-worn circle, once made a record by getting about 34 merits in one month PLUS nearly 200 the same month. Page the late Mr. Ripley. Mike is occasionally ab- sent from B Company stoop as he still likes to study with his A Company buddies. Mike is a friendly fellow with lots of ability when he wants to use it in the right direction. He did a lot of work writing sports for this annual. It is rumored his nickname may be changed from Mike and Bevo to Firecracker. JOHN WILLIAM HAMRIC Gassaway, West Virginia Hamric is crazy about automobiles and photography. He likes a trip around the country every once in a while. He also likes to take pictures, has asked Toia to Take 3 minutes out and tell me all you know. He has escaped the wiles of the college across town. He manages to get by with a mini- mum of effort, can often be found hiding out in the dark room dropping negatives into any handy solution, and turned into an archeologist this spring. For proof see the snapshot. WALTER DAVID HAUGHT 2961 Merrill Avenue, Huntington, West Virginia His nickname is Chic, but whether or not after Chic Sale we wouldn't know. He trifles around, can find his way to our school pool table, likes to listen to records. As to girls, our information is he has broken up three times this year with the same one, is going steady just at present. When it comes to athletics, Chic finds himself right at home on the football gridiron or the basketball court. This Hunting- ton fellow is a one-year Senior at The Brier, has made .1 commendable all-round record. JACK HILLARD 6l2 Blackburn Avenue, Ashland, Kentucky Speedy Hillard flashed like a meteor down the gridiron during football season, ran the dashes to take many first places in meets when track season rolled around. Jack has been known to trifle a bit, and even to walk the well known beat. He picked up about 20 fat demerits this spring when he decided to visit a local beauty shop along with Al Cash and Gene Johnson. But the effect was worth it. Devastating, no less. Jack enjoys life and may always be found having a good time. But he can be serious when necessary, and rates as a good student.

JOSEPH WILMOUTH ROGERS LAWSON, ll 408 Third Street, Princeton, West Virginia Joe Lawson, who was joe Cadet of Co. A last year, is a hard-boiled sergeant, known as one of the sharpest looking boys in school. So far, the college hasn't been able to make him forget Princeton, that town the S. E. Post called a little country town you never heard of. CP. S.-All right, all RIGHT-so it's the largest of all the Princetons in the U. S. A.J. Joe does a good job on the newspaper staff, is interested in Hi-Y Club work, and is one of the best public speakers in school, could speak before the Rotary Club with ease. In fact, we are afraid we will have to put joe Lawson down as an all-round good fellow, able and ready. HAROLD HENRY MARSH, II 4318 Tuckerman Street, University Park, Maryland Hank has been here three years, won the Washington Alumni Chapter watch in 1953. He worked like a Trojan on this year book, although he had such a full schedule he didn't find it easy to get the time. He plays the field where women are concerned, is a hard-boiled top-kick in Company C-the Honor Company, he will probably remind you- and takes part in intramural athletics. He hasn't run as many demerits the last two years as he did in about two months his first year. He knows his way around, can wiggle one ear fask him rob, and is running a close second to Cole- man in the race to see who can turn in the most report sheets. Stick Happy, C calls him! ROBERT THEODORE PERKINS I2 Dogwood Road, West Orange, New Jersey Speedy Perkins is the slowest guy on two feet. You know how slow Col. joe is? Col. Joe is speedy compared to Perkins. That's the report we get! Our informant adds that when Perkins goes to see Col. Joe for a 40-minute ad- visory conference it lasts all morning. Like the tortoise. however, he gets there. He does OK in his classes. He can speak Spanish like one of our boys from South of the Border. His friends say it is sort of difiicult to get him to go out and play around, so we'll just have to report that Speedy Perkins likes his textbooks. You can usually find him sitting in his room on the back of C stoop studying away. ANZOLA ALFONSO ROBLEDO Calle 39 No. l8-34, Bogota, Colombia, South America Robledo comes from a coconut tree that fell in the Medi- terranean 100 years ago. He is one of the brains of the Latin group. Also, he is engaged in many sports activities and belongs to many clubs. He is like David Hurst-he likes to take pictures. Robledo is Suarez's old pal and you will always see them together no matter where the roads lead. Robledo is one of the soccer stars of the bunch, but at least he plays. Robledo keeps away from trouble ll mean girlsj. He is a Lonely Latin Lover of his native Colombia. He also likes to sing and to play the accordion, and he is very good at it. He is quiet, you seldom hear him yell un- less he is leading his small squad in A Company. ALCIBIADES de LA PENA RODRIGUEZ Angel Guerra ll5, eq Pepe Torres, Holguin, Orte, Cuba The Snipe came to the Brier in 1951-52. The next year seaman duties carried him away, but he missed The Brier and came back to graduate. He is a future merchant mariner. We hope he does well on this, his great ideal. Archie is another one of those Latin Lovers. He lives across town and his mail box from Cuba-is always iilled with letters. Archie is also a very hearty sportsman and has entered differ- ent competitions and won many trophies. We are certainly going to miss Archie, especially his singing, and his yelling sections with Alvarez and his clever daily news on the bulletin board-but we have to give to the Cuban girls their other idol. ROBERT ALAN SANTORA Abbott Acres, R. D. l, Wexford, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Bob paid the penalty for football last year, coming out with a broken leg, and then grabbed off the prize-our of drill for the rest of the year. When we name our All- American Trifling Team we will probably have to give some thought to including Bob and his suite mates who live up above Cmdr. and Mrs. Dosier! We haven't asked for the commanders opinion on this. Bob also likes to sleep, espe- cially in Col. Moore's trigonometry and solid geometry sec- tions. Bob doesn't care whether or not the sun still shines, likes to go home a lot and can come up with the derndest excuses you ever heard. We predict a fine record at Bucknell.
