JAMES EASTMAN WILKERSON Whitesville, West Virginia Young james pesters every teacher in school except Col. Moore, wonders if the Good Ship Sassafras was stolen, and has a time with the commander in physics class. He must have practiced a lot with that sabre of his, and likes to toss it around, whirl it around, stick it in the ground. He and Duck Stewart have played many a baseball game in class with yardstick and paper, sometimes refer to one class as The Big lnning. jimmy is Owls Club material, has missed out on the fun of walking the beat, has managed to skip Night Study Hall all but one unlucky week. ..sL... DONALD WILKIE WILKINSON 204 Truslow Street, Charleston, West Virginia Mother Wilkinson, as sergeant in the band, looked after his chicks. He is just outside the door, being held there by main force, as we complete the senior write-up. The things we could say and won't! He plays trombone in the band. He has done good work on the publication staffs. He likes to brag about his girls. He used to date GCW. His first year he was on the beat only SM hours, but he more than made up for it in '55. Like all band members, he always gave his best to that organization and was a big help in the impressive record made by the musicians this year. WORK AND PLAY-Top: Routine field inspection . . . Cos.

HENRY HADLEY STEWART, JR. l200 Cambria Avenue, Windber, Pennsylvania Ducky is Commander of B for Best, is in and out of all the activities in a school, and still finds enough surplus energy to trifle. How he stays away from being On bounds continually is a mystery to this writer. He makes high grades, edits the year book at times, finds it fun to make taps inspection at night with a squirt gun which he lets loose on his company personnel one after the other. He misses a lot of fun by not dating GCW, but probably doesn't want to have to drag over there in full dress because all those medals would pull down his left shoulder to the side- walk. All in all Duck manages most of the time to have himself a ball. JORGE BETANCOURT SUAREZ I3-39 Carrera Sa, Bogota, Colombia, South America Jorge came to The Brier with his brother, German, in 1953, when GMS was populated by Colombians and the Anzola cast. Koki is a very good sportsman and a good singer, but he is not like the members of the Super-C Club: he doesn't make noise and raise the town once a week. Jorge is going to join his brother at Cornell Uni- versity, and then he will move to Colombia. Jorge is a good soldier in B Company and did a very good job with military. Jorge completes the Robledo series. He and Robledo are the immediate action pals, and you will always see them together. FRANK PHILIP TOIA 601 Locust Place, Sewickley, Pennsylvania Frank is our Demon Photographer, always ready to take an individual or a group. Sometimes, of course, he forgets to change film and has to take the glee club over again. Some- times he puts the negatives in the wrong mixture. And occasionally-not often, you understand-he has to be ex- cused from class to snap a pix. But all in all he has done a fine job and many of the photos in this annual were made by Toia, F. He is the quiet kind. When we asked about his love life, we were told: He likes to go over to the college before he quit unfinished love story, if you ask us. He was so busy taking pictures of other athletes he didn't have time to play games himself. He will some day get a Pulitzer prize for picture taking. MANUAL GUZMAN VILLAFANA Juanacatlin ll0 Esq. con Cuautla, Mexico ll, D. F. Manuel came to the Brier the same year that the Snipe first left. Manuel is an active member of everything that goes on in school. We can't leave him out of the list of noise makers and singersg he completes the series. He also lives across town and across country down in Mexico. He collects fan and female material like the rest of the spicks do, but he does it in Mexico. Manuel is a member of the Spanish-American club and he lives to see the day that the club is approved by the administration of the school. Archie nicknamed him Cerillo, meaning a match, from which we gather Manuel is a bright one, He likes ro bass out his Here, Sir! in NSH. JERRY ROBERT WEEDEN l6l7 North 78th Court, Elmwood Park 35, Illinois Jerry is one of our Big Brains in classwork. He is a quiet fellow who pulls down the good grades, even helps the other fellows. Duck says Weeden is his competition. He can scoot around the dining room like lightning on a jeep. He left Wilkerson his Trig grade, expecting Jimmy to need it next year. He is an expert angler, and we don't mean fisher- man-he is always on the prowl for an angle to get some- thing or get out of something. We understand he is quite an actor in the Junior Room at GCW. He spends his after- noons working sines and cosines and usually brings in too many to class. ROBERT NELSON WHITE Pedro, Ohio Now here is a fellow who would have been happy driving one of those 40 mule train wagons for the Borax company back in the days of long ago. He belongs to the bull-whip club over in D hall. He dates the college, goes steady for about two weeks and changes for new scenery, likes to go AWOL, enjoys sports, takes part in intramurals and Hi-Y basketball. He even did some good work on this year book. When you can't find him, look for Farley, Eddy, and Hitch- cock. Bob White, sweet singing little bird that he is, will be close by.
