'kirir Greenbrier Military School is designated an Honor ROTC Unit by the Depart- ment of the Army, and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States, and the Virginia Preparatory Schools Association. 2 X HISTORICAL SKETCH 'llriirsir Dr. john McElhenney became pastor of Lewisburg Presbyterian Church in june, 1808. One of the earliest, and certainly one of the most important achieve- ments of his famous 62 years pastorate, was the establishment of Lewisburg Academy. The school must have opened its doors about 1808-09. A deed on record in the Greenbrier County clerkis office, dated in 1812, reads: Beginning on Main Street at the corner of the lot upon which the Brick Academy has recently been erected, and with said lot, etc .... H On January 29, 1812, the legislature of Virginia passed An Act establishing an Academy in the Town of Lewisburg in the County of Greenbrier. Dr. McElhenney was principal until 1824. The school flourished from the first, attracting students from distant states as well as this region. During the Civil War period it was closed for a time. Confederate soldiers used the building as winter quarters and a summer hospital. A In 1865 the Rev. Calvin Barr re-opened the school and was principal. The school prospered under other strong leaders and by 1890, with Thos. H. Gilmore as principal, there were over 250 students. After a destructive fire, many of the students remained and school was continued by some of his teachers, in a large pri- vate home. Soon, in its present location, Lee Military Academy flourished under the leadership of Maj. J. M. Lee. Next came a four-year span under Mr. Gordon Houston. At that time, Dr. M. L. Lacy, the most distinguished member of the Greenbrier Presbyteryf' persuaded the business men of Lewisburg to buy the school and turn it over to the Presbytery. This good man served as principal until 1906, when he resigned active control. He continued to teach Bible until his death. Colonel H. B. Moore became principal in 1906. In 1920 he and his brothers bought the property. Colonel David T. Moore is still treasurer. Colonel H. B. Moore served as superintendent until 1939, completing 33 years as head of the school. He served as president until his death in 1953. Col. J. M. Moore was superintendent for 16 years, now serves the school as president. Col. W. J. Moore became co- superintendent in 1952 and in 1955 assumed the full responsibilities of the ofiice. Col. W. A. Rawl, dean and assistant treasurer, has been on the school staff since 1938.

Moore began his work for the school as an instructor in 1908. He has served Greenbrier as vice-president and as superin- tendent. As president, in addition to the usual duties of that office, the Colonel also finds time for supervisory Work and personal guidance of students. He gives much of his time and effort to this Work, serving in an advisory and consulting capacity. A PERSONAL MESSAGE . The work of writing and arranging material for a catalog I have never under- taken, as my full-time is occupied with school duties. However, I covet the privilege each year of contributing a personal message for you. The temptation to make things strongly attractive is greater even in a catalogue or pictorial pamphlet than in my possible personal interview with you. The phi- losophy of the school, or the objectives striven for, can be lost sight of in the desire to convince, and the necessity of standing responsible for the statements made and the impressions given can be forgotten, , The philosophy of this school and its objectives, as developed in actual practice, have been carefully stated by the faculty Cnot by the advertising managerj, and are made available to anyone interested in a little booklet called EVIDENCE. Along with this catalogue and next to the actual products of our school, its students and alumni, it best pictures to you what is actually taking place every day in training and development at Greenbrier Military School. If you wish a sincere effort made for the development of your son intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially, under the happiest consistently possible condi- tions, then we hope that we may have opportunity for a conference or to furnish further information by mail. The president works closely with the superintendent, that the cadets of Green- brier may have the outlook of young manhood added to what should be the wisdom of experience in understanding and helping with their problems. In this way, it will be possible that a great deal of time can be spent individually in the guidance of each student, and with the belief that no one may feel himself lost in the group. just as you would examine a manufacturer's product to see if it is what you are looking for, so I invite your attention to this carefully written booklet, not as an argument for patronizing Greenbrier, but that you may decide whether or not Greenbrier may fit your needs. J. M. M. Cor.. W. J. MooRE, A. B., M. A. Superintendent West Virginia Universityg Harvard When Col. W. J. Moore undertook the duties and responsibilities of the superintendents office, he was particularly Well qualified by virtue of two years' study in the Harvard School Administration Department and twelve years' experience in this and other schools. He is in direct control of the students, and should be consulted by parents on matters of school policy, both academic and disciplinary. A WORD WITH YOU . Having taken my elementary and high school work at Greenbrier, I can remember a large number of her teachers from the student's view point. All of them were pro- ficient in teaching their subject matter as are most of the teachers in any school, but a number of them did more than that, they exerted an influence upon us as boys and young men that will be a lasting influence in shaping our lives. It has been said A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stopsn. It has been further said Most every institution in the land has one or more great teachers . I believe that Greenbrier in my time has had many such teachers and that they have done more to influence in the right way the boys of our day in school than many can realize possible. Each year since becoming first a member of the faculty and then a member of the ad- ministrative stafl I have been even more impressed with the realization that the faculty is the heart of the school, certainly a school can be no better than its faculty. Naturally our teachers are graduates of accredited colleges and universities who have taken numerous courses in professional education and methods of teaching. In addition to this the teacher, first of all, should be a Christian man, of trained intellect and ability to impart his knowl- edge, of mental poise, of clean life. He must be a man who can assume the role of an ex- emplar without the fear of incurring the contempt of the cadets by his own conduct. He must be a man who understands and loves boys, who is able to advise them in their difficul- ties, mingle with them in their sports and school activities, and teach them in the class room and study hall. Thorough academic mastery of his subject, although important, is not enough for a Greenbrier teacher. Through association, boys gain as much from fhe personality of a fine man as they do from his intellect. Boys will study and work for men whom they love and respect. A teacher must be able to arouse the ambition and quicken the interest, to teach a boy HOW TO STUDY when the desire to learn has been aroused. A good teacher is thoroughly conscious of the high responsibility which he holds as one who trains your son during the most impressionable period of the boy's life. He is alive to the opportunity for service which has been given to him. He is proud of his pro- fession, eager to pass on to others something of the book knowledge and the accumulated wisdom of his experience. In short, a good teacher is a leader of men. Now, as superintendent, having full sympathy with the aims and ideals of those who have preceded me, I shall continue to do all in my power to insure that we will continue to have the best teachers available. We have always been proud of the strong capable group of men who comprise our teaching staff but we have not been, and will not be, con- tent to secure such a group and then to rest on our laurels. Instead, we will be con- tinually trying to improve and to have on our staff only those who possess the above quali- fications and who are competent to manage boys and to lay foundations of strong and useful lives. -W.

It has a population of about three thousand people, most of whom are well-to-do, conservative in politics, business and religion, and enjoy the prosperity and happiness which comes with industry and integrity. They are cultured and hospitable, and take a kindly interest in the cadets, offering pleasant and refining social advantages in the inner circles of their homes, warmly welcoming the boys to their churches, and in various other ways showing the esteem which is ever commanded by gentlemanly conduct and merit. Greenbrier County, one of our largest counties, although rich in coal and timber in the western part, is almost wholly a grazing and farming section, being in the famous bluegrass and limestone area of the state. The town elevation of 2300 feet above sea level gives it a bracing climate while the surrounding mountains and the pretty valley of the Greenbrier River furnish beautiful and picturesque scenery. Easlly Accessible p Lewisburg is situated at the junction point of two arterial highways-U. S. Routes 60 and 219. It has C. Sc O. Railway service from both the main line and the Greenbrier Division. Ronceverte, on Route 219, is our railroad station. Six passenger trains a day put the parent in easy reach of the school, while the telegraph and telephone, of course, make it possible to communicate with the boy at any time of day or night. The Greenbrier Airport, seven miles distant near White Sulphur Springs, serves as a landing field for those who would come by plane. Ideally Located The school has a quiet and beautiful situation on a slight eminence, shaded by a pretty oak grove. It has a forty-five-acre campus and playground just outside of the business section of the town. One cannot think of anything needed to make this an ideal place for a school. There is no atmos- phere of bright lights, of questionable resorts, of city temptations and distractions, and yet the proximity to Lewisburg and White Sulphur prevents the monotony of school life entirely isolated and off in the country. The altitude and the bracing, though not extreme, climate make it ideal for year-around living. The educational atmosphere is an incentive to study, and all things combine to make Lewisburg an educational center. It has all the good points of country isolation and yet all the conveniences and advantages of an attractive, up-to-date town. 12 The Greenbrier College for Women, an accredited junior College which offers some high school work and two years of college work, is situated in Lewisburg on the opposite side of town. 'Ilhis makes Lewisburg a suitable place to have brother and sister in the same town and near to each other. In addition to adding much to the enjoyment of school life, the forums, plays, dances, and other exchange of courtesies 'between the two schools offer an opportunity for training in social behavior. Nearby Summer Resorts There are numbers of mineral springs and famous resorts within close proximity to Lewisburg. Within one and one-half hours' drive is the famous Hot Springs, while much nearer in Greenbrier and adjoining counties are Pence Springs, Blue Sulphur, Red Sulphur, Green Sulphur or Old Sweet Springs, Organ Cave, Mountain Lake and Salt Sulphur, and the famous Alvon Springs, the water from which is so widely used on trains and in hotels. Only nine miles from Lewisburg is the internationally known spa, The Greenbrier and Cottages. Here crowned heads of Europe, many Presidents of the United States, and famous men and women from all walks of life have found relaxation and enjoyment. Our cadets have always been welcome at The Greenbrier, where they sometimes go to play tennis and golf, to swim, and to watch world champions perform. Here, under proper supervision, many happy hours are spent. In the famous ballroom of The Greenbrier we hold our annual Grad- uation Ball, and the Queen of the Brier is crowned with colorful ceremony. The courtesy of the management of The Greenbrier and Cottages and the favors shown to Greenbrier cadets are appreciated and enjoyed. The famous Greenbrier Hotel, White Sulphur Springs. Our cadets enjoy swimming in this beautiful indoor pool. The The GREENBRIER EQUIPMENT Now that you know something about our geographic location, we believe you will wish to consider our equipment and facilities for taking care of your boy, and other pertinent facts. Where and how do we take care of your son? Is our plant safe? Will your boy be exposed to inclement weather? Is he properly cared for when he has a cold or other illness? In short, is the school equipped to house, feed, and look after your boy as you would wish, furnishing means of recreation and pleasure, as well as modern facilities for acquiring an education? BUILDINGS We rebuilt almost our entire plant in 1925. We had behind us the experience of twenty- four years of teaching and supervising in private schools. We spared neither trouble nor expense to provide a modern, well planned building unit. Since then we have added other well-constructed rooms and buildings as need has dictated. Academic Building The Academic Building is large, well lighted, and well ventilated. It is built of brick, steel, concrete, and fire-resistant material throughout. It contains a large auditorium, seating eight hundred and fifty people, library and reading rooms, twenty-four classrooms and two laboratories, business and administrative oliices. Several years ago we constructed a new wing containing a deep freeze unit on the lower floor, more oflice space and a uniform room, and, on the upper floor, a new modern infirmary and dispensary. Lavatories, wash rooms, and drinking fountains are on every floor. The classroom floors are of concrete and insulite construction. Hallways and wash' rooms have terrazzo floors, srairways are steel with terrazzo treads, steel window sash are used throughout. Our modern armory is in the basement of this building. Barracks Building The Barracks Building, planned in the form of a hollow square, is constructed of the same materials as the academic building, is of fireproof construction, and contains dormitory rooms for two hundred and twenty-four boys and instructors. Each room opens onto a porch or stoop, so there are no connecting rooms and no hallways to become infected with disease germs. Each room is equipped with single beds, springs, mattresses, two tables, two chairs, two steel lockers, broom, and dust pan. Wash rooms, toilets, and bubble drinking fountains are on every floor. In this building are the athletic dressing rooms, shower rooms, laundry storage room, athletic and supply store rooms, barber shop, school store, and boys' 'band rooms. Nearby is another building in which is housed our cleaning and pressing plant. The Commandant's Ofice and the Office of the Officer-of-the-Day and Guard Detail are in this building so the oflicer cadets on duty may be near the cadets at all times. At two corners of the barracks there are suites for married faculty oliicers, and the other corner rooms are fitted out for instructors. Thus we have four ofhcers living on each floor of the barracks. Dormitory Building 'I'he Dormitory Building is also of fireproof material and contains kitchen, bakery room, a dining room seating four hundred and fifty people, living quarters for faculty ofiicers and their families, and dormitory rooms for one hundred boys. In this building are located the offices for several members of our staff. The smaller boys live on the second floor of this building apart from those of the upper school and are under more constant care and supervision. 14 Entrance to Quadrangle and East Wing of Barracks Advantageous Construction These three buildings, although separate and distinct units, are all connected to form one struc- ture, 462-feet long and extending back 161 feet at the greatest depth. This is the largest military school plant under one roof east of the Mississippi, possibly in the entire United States. Because of our large connecting hallways a boy can go from living room to dining room, back to the reading room, to study hall or classes or the barber shop or store, all without going out of the building into inclement weather. This feature is of special advantage to the boy in case of a cold or slight sickness. Cases of more serious illness are confined to the infirmary. However, in the favorable weather we enjoy most of the year, these units are treated as separate buildings and are entered from the outside. Well Equipped Laboratories We mentioned the two laboratories located in our Academic Building. These are used for physics, chemistry, and biology. They are well equipped so students may do all the work required by the most rigid college entrance requirements. Boys taking these subjects are expected to spend two afternoons per week working in the laboratory, and our facilities and equipment are fully adequate for the work required. Q ATHLETIC FACILITIES If a boy is to be happy and do the best work of which he is capable, he must have some place to take regular exercise. Behind our building we have a large athletic Held on which several teams may practice simul- taneously. A quarter-mile track circles the football gridiron and the baseball diamond. On higher ground behind the concrete bleachers at the far side of the Held are located Hve hard-surfaced tennis courts, two volleyball courts, and a basketball court. 15 Two Still higher, on the hilltop, we recently leveled and filled a large plot of ground so that it is perfect for football, baseball, or practicing golf shots. Gymnasiums-Rifle Range Recently Greenbrier completed construction of the new Memorial Gymnasium. Of brick fire- proof construction, it has the most modern heating and lighting systems. The court is regulation size with folding bleacher seats on one side seating 540 spectators. It is planned to add a like number of seats on the other side. The main court is equipped with glass backboards. The floor has a concrete base, with hardwood subflooring on 2 X 4 joists and selected maple hardwood playing surface. There are dressing and shower rooms for the local and visiting teams. The building includes a new and modern indoor rifle range, well lighted and ventilated, complete with every safety precaution in- cluding movable targets. In the gymnasium is the Alumni Memorial Room built and furnished by the National Alumni Association. Our other gymnasium is 130 by 60 feet, with a 20 foot ceiling. It has gallery and bleacher seats, toilet facilities and dressing rooms and a shower room. An Intramural Sports Room is used for wrestling, boxing, tumbling, handball, and other contests. These two gymnasiums provide us with unusually fine facilities for athletic activity during the winter months. Swimming Pools Our cadets make regular trips to the Greenbrier Hotel in nearby White Sulphur Springs, where they swim in the filtered indoor pool, one of the most beautiful in the entire country. The new filtered outdoor modern swimming pool at Camp Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca is available for cadet use in fall and spring, The some of - I - Greenbrier s daily mllk SUPPIY I THE H. B. MOORE MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM Campus and Farms These buildings are surrounded by a large forty-five-acre campus and playground. The school owns four farms containing about 1050 acres and rents about 650 acres, making 1700 acres in all. On these farms are raised almost all the food used in the school. The main advantage of killing our own meats and using milk and other products raised on our farms is not in the lowering of expense, but in knowing the kind and character of food placed on the tables and insuring it to be of the best quality. This is a great asset to the school. From our dairy herds we obtain fresh milk daily, and a plentiful supply is kept on each table so our cadets may enjoy it at each meal. Dlnlng Room and Kitchen The lower Hoot of the Dormitory and Administration Buildings are taken up almost wholly with dining room, kitchen, pantries, and serving rooms. These are modernly equipped and occupy commodious quarters. The kitchen, pantries and preparation rooms number fourteen in all. The bake room is fur- nished with modern bakery, electric dough mixer, warming oven, and other modern equipment. The preparation room is fitted out with electric milk separator, ice-cream freezer, electric meat chopper, electric vegetable peeler, and an electric potato masher, cream beater and utility machine. The kitchen is equipped with all steam cooking outfit, using high pressure steam, coffee urn, etc. An electric dish-washer cleans the dishes, which are sterilized with steam. Every device for cooking and serving food in proper manner has been installed. The large cold room is artificially cooled with electricity, keeping all vegetables and meats absolutely fresh and the milk, and other liquids sweet and palatable. 17 v 0' 1 ILP' 1 . . . - .. f --1 -.

PART II Educational Philosophy and General Program A PERSONAL WORD WITH YOU . It is our privilege at this time to give to you the current school catalog-the book that is our silent messenger, going from coast to coast to anyone who calls for it, and carrying the good word for Greenbrier to you and others seeking a good school. Since we do not find it possible to talk with each of you face to face, we are writing this book as nearly as we can in simple conversational style. We are striving to be especially clear and frank in those vital paragraphs which treat of our ideals, our methods, and our program, with what con- stitutes our philosophy and creed in education. For nearly a century and a half Greenbrier has served young men. For almost a half century those now in charge of the school have watched Greenbrier grow into an ever-increasing sphere of service to the youth of our nation, have seen the school build up traditions of achievement. We do not mean the plant of brick and steel, but the living school of wholesome influence on those entrusted to her care. All of Us Here Have Come to Believe: That our first duty as a boarding school, and a duty of the greatest importance, is to provide for the physical necessities of those entrusted to us, to furnish comfortable quarters, plenty of whole- some well cooked food, nicely served, and with kind considerate treatment that makes for the students' contentment and peace of mind. With this accomplished and in the second place, with a staff of capable and carefully chosen instructors, we feel we are able to lead boys to study, show them how to grasp the subject matter set forth, and develop their ability to work things out for themselves. In this way only will they be prepared to get their more advanced work in college and university, and in after life. We do not try to learn the assignment for the pupil but try to teach him to work things out for himself. Third, a young man should become interested in developing his body and physical make-up by a system of regular exercise and good habit forming practices. The school should provide for this and carry out such a program, encouraging everyone to fall in and participate. We work to this end. Fourth, every effort should be put forth by precept and example, to develop men of character. What does a sound body and the ability to learn or grasp a subject mean to society or the man him- self, if he does not have the character to use them? The development of high character is an important requisite in a sound program of education. In a survey made of H. Chandler Hunt, interviewing seventy-six business institutions concern- ing about 4,000 discharged employees, he found that of the vast number of people who lost their jobs, only ten per cent of them were let out because of lack of ability or technical knowledge, and that the other ninety per cent were deficient in character and personal trait development. When carelessness, inability to get on with one's associates, laziness, dishonesty, lateness, lack of initiative and of ambition, etc., are responsible for so many failures, is it not essential that charac- 22 ter building be emphasized above everything else in this period of a young man's development, when the ruling principles of his life are being molded? Courage, truth, honor, self-control, and clean living and thinking are elements of character emphasized at Greenbrier and constantly held before her students. Our desire is that every Green- brier Cadet be a man of honor. We are proud to assure you that these are not just the beliefs of the writer alone, but that they are the ideals of our whole administrative staff and of our faculty. We make every effort to employ faculty assistants who are real true instructors and educators, and are themselves examples to the boys with whom they come in contact. We are proud also of what we call that valuable intangible- The Spirit of Greenbrierne meaning the attitude of the students toward the above program and the ideals of the school. They have the will to succeed in school activities, and in after life. Note our rifle team record with its number of National Championships won, our'ROTC record of superiority, our successful athletic record considering it as a whole, our publications considering their high rating by many press asso- ciations and the many trophies won, our scholastic record as measured by the success of our graduates in colleges, universities and service schools. For example, no graduate recommended for entrance into West Point or Annapolis by our faculty has ever lost out or failed to graduate-almost a unique record, I think. We are proud of our hundreds of graduates of past years, the positions in business they now hold, their records of influence and leadership in their respective communities, the worthwhile life they are leading. We hope to continue to render a service to many of the upstanding young men of our country. We would be glad to serve you. Please study our program as set forth in the later pages of this booklet and let us hear from you. We shall be glad to give any further explanations, or answer any question that may arise in your mind. From the Old Brick Academy, Built Prior I to 1812, Greenbrier i Military School Traces Its Ancestry - r '.f.t, - . 23 THE GREENBRIER METHOD Greenbrier chooses its boys. The boys we desire are those who will all be gentlemen at all times, those who will respond to our discipline based on honor, kindness, and trust. 'KA Greenbrier Cadet's word is good is one of the first ideals instilled into the minds of all students entering for the Hrst time. The Greenbrier Boy We do not desire to have boys who may be classified as juvenile delinquents. If unworthy boys are received, we will give them an opportunity to prove their worth but quickly weed them out if they clearly show they are not the kind we would wish to associate with our cadets. A boy whose only trouble is that he has been badly spoiled at home, one who has begun to be careless in his habits and attendance at school through lack of parental guidance, often becomes an ideal student under our system of training. We will gladly do all we can to give such a boy every opportunity to develop his abilities. The chief qualification for a boy to enter Greenbrier is a genuine desire to make good. No special examination is required for admission. Cadets are assigned to those classes for which they ate fitted by previous training. A Busy Time at the School Post Office in the Main Hall of Building TTT.-i H 24 Boys may be admitted at any time and at any age, but the earlier a boy is placed in the school the better will be the result. Ir is a recognized truth that a boy badly started had far better not be started at 1111, As a matter of fact, in some cases about half our time and energy is taken up in trying to help a student to overcome careless habits acquired under unskilled, indifer- ellf, il100H1P6tel1t, 01' 0Ve1'W0rk6d teachers- We would, therefore, urge that parents send us their boys at as early an age as possible, in order ro get the most value from our training. Advantage of Small Classes At Greenbrier the number of cadets is limited to approximately three hundred and seventy- five. We believe that with this limit on numbers we are in a position to give much better care and attention to your boy as an individual. We rarely place over eighteen boys in a class, and in most cases classes number fifteen or less. Many of the classes are divided into three or more sections. You will agree, we are sure, that this matter of small classes is of great importance, and our plan is an advantageous improvement over the crowded conditions which necessarily exist in many high schools. 25 SMALL CLASSES ALLOW INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION Top-These students are busy with .an assignment in mechanical drawing class. Bottom-An interested student receives personal instruction in the chemistry laboratory INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION We believe the strength of our academic program lies in the fact we emphasize a continual process of understanding guidance and intelligent individual assistance which encourages a student to work for improvement. When your son comes to Greenbrier he is interviewed personally by the superintendent, the dean, or the headmaster. He is then placed in the proper classes for work and instruction. The headmaster directs our carefully worked out testing program. Each fall a battery of tests is given to each cadet. These tests yield a score on general scholastic ability as well as an achieve- ment score on reading, arithmetic, and English. This information is at the disposal of the superin- tendent, who uses it in conferences with individual cadets. The information is often helpful to instruc- tors and faculty advisers. These scores are accugnulative for each cadet, making it possible to judge the degree of improvement shown during his academic career here. Afternoon Coaching Classes Our instructors spend much time showing their pupils how to prepare the classwork. We insist they do not attempt simply to get answers from the pupil, but that they show him how to get the work. Because of our small classes, each boy has an opportunity to recite each day as well as a chance to ask about everything he does not understand. Our instructors do not teach subjects as much as they teach boys. We want our cadets to know how to think for themselves, how to obtain knowl- edge and apply it. The great majority of our students become interested in their classwork and learn to master it. Twice weekly each instructor holds special afternoon coaching' classes. If the instructor feels your son needs additional explanation and practice in his work, the boy will be required to attend this coaching class. Others may come voluntarily, and many avail themselves of this special instruction. Help in Study Hall Our faculty officers meet with the superintendent each Monday morning. Boys who have averaged eighty per cent or above are allowed to study each evening in their rooms. The Oflicer-in- Charge makes regular rounds and is available for help with lessons. Boys who have made a lower grade study in a supervised night study hall during the regular evening study period of two hours and twenty minutes, including a recess at 8:30 p.m. We want you to know that this is not the type of study hall where boys in their rooms are visited occasionally by faculty officers. Such a method is far easier on school authorities and of far less value to the students. Our students are assembled in a large well-ventilated and lighted study hall under the constant supervision of two or more experienced teachers who give assistance at all times and are glad to show a boy how to study. All your son has to do is to hold up his hand and an instructor will help him with any knotty problems. 27 Personal Conferences ln the Monday faculty meeting, an instructor who has found some particular cadet is having trouble with his subject will ask for the opinions of other teachers. The superintendent will pass along helpful information which has come to him. Often in one of these meetings the discussions result in a better understanding of specific problems and the cadets involved are helped to over- come those obstacles which had been causing a let down in classwork or making them discouraged. But the interest of the faculty does not stop there. Often an officer will request that a par- ticular cadet be allowed to visit his quarters for help with a particular lesson during study hall. Each faculty oihcer is Personal Adviser for approximately fifteen cadets. He keeps a friendly eye on their progress, and they feel free to go to him with personal problems as well as academic matters. This personal relationship often develops into a lifelong friendship. The boy may also visit the superintendent with any problem at any time. Col. J. M. Moore, calling on his wide experience training young people, holds personal conferences with cadets through- out the year. Col. W. J. Moore is also available to the cadets at any time. Each boy is called in by him at least once each month so a personal check may be made on his progress, but we emphasize the fact the boy may see either of these men any day. Monthly Reports Each teacher keeps a daily record of the recitations of all members of his classes. At the end of each month he records a general average, together with H, M, or L to indicate in which third of the class-highest, middle, or lowest-the student has placed. These reports are never inflated, but every consideration is given to each boy's effort, ability, and achievement. Cadets Studying in Their Own Room. 28 Our The reports also record any absences from roll call and merits and demerits received by the student. Parents are earnestly requested to examine these reports carefully, and to cooperate with us in helping their sons maintain a high standard of conduct and scholarship. With each report there is a personal note by the superintendent commenting on specific points which need attention. Several patrons have asked for weekly reports of their sons' work. This may be arranged upon request. Disappointment with these reports is sometimes expressed by parents who occasionally find them twenty-five per cent below expectations, especially in the case of new cadets. We are fully aware that it is easy to please both parents and pupils by inflating reports, and we are also fully aware that a low report often seems to a parent to show a lack on our part of ability to teach, or a lack of appreciation of the ability or progress of a pupil. Our reports are made out not to please ourselves, our patrons, or our pupils, but to tell exactly and honestly what a boy is doing according to our abso- lute standard, enforced without fear or favor. When parents realize the justice of this, those who have been disappointed become fully satisfied., Attitude Reports One feature of Greenbrier reports is especially liked by our patrons. Each month the report sent you will carry a symbol indicating your son's attitude toward his studies. These range from Unsatisfactory through Fair, Good, Excellent, to Superior. It is possible for a boy to fail a class or two and at the same time receive a high attitude rating from his instructors. Likewise, it is possible for him to pass his classwork but receive an attitude report such as Fair', or K'Good or, in unusual cases, even lower. This means that although he made a passing grade, he definitely was not doing his best. The average of the various reports from instructors is given as your son's general attitude for the month. Since we insist that each instructor make out these attitude reports with thoughtful care, it becomes clear at once that this is a valuable indication of how your son is measuring up to his responsibilities. Term Reports Examinations are held three times a year-December, March, and June. Christmas examina- tions are held far enough ahead of the holiday so the students will be able to give their best efforts to their studies without thinking about going home on leave. Examination grades are combined with the average of monthly grades to determine the standing. No student is exempt from taking these, even for high class standing, as taking tests is good train- ing in itself and is necessary to prepare one for similar examinations at higher institutions. A boy who goes to college without having taken any examinations in preparatory school is at a distinct psychological disadvantage. 75 W is our passing grade, SOW to 85 71 is required for recommendation for college, ninety per cent earns Distinction and ninety-five is a High Distinction. Re-examination Privileges A re-examination will be given to a cadet who has failed a subject for a term provided he passes the work of the next term but the passing grade is not sufficiently high to bring his average up to the passing level. The re-examination grade can not be combined with the daily grade average, so 755721 must be made on the re-examination. No student is entitled to a re-examination on either of the first two terms unless he is able to pass the next term. N0 student is entitled to a re-examination on the work for the third term during the current school year. Under certain circumstances, he may be permitted to take a re-examination during the 29 fall term of the following year. A request to take a re-examination during the fall term of the following year will be sympathetically considered. No student is entitled to re-examinations on more than one term in any one subject and no senior will be entitled to more than two re-examinations during his senior year. Other Incentives to Study Each month we issue an Academic Honor Roll which is eagerly read by our cadets. It is broken down into three groups: 80-STXD, 85-90722, and and 95-10075. To make this roll, a cadet must have more merits than demerits and must not fail a subject. We publish a list of Distinctions and High Distinctions at the end of each academic year. We award medals in the various departments. These are presented at Commencement. These things, too, are valuable incentives to do outstanding work. Student Government Closely knit with our academic system, the general conduct of the cadets, and the entire life of the school is our Honor System of Student Government. Placing responsibility for honorable conduct upon the students themselves teaches them to value their personal integrity above scholarship and advancement, and to create a sentiment for right among our students so that a boy who falsifies, gets improper assistance in the classroom or on examinations, and indulges other such vicious habits is influenced to correct these faults. In case he persists in such bad habits he will not be permitted to remain in the school. Honor Court decisions are always subject to review by the superintendent.

Discipline, in its true meaning, is training in self-government. It leads to the prevention or removal of disorder, and is a requisite of good citizenship. As we have stated above, the purpose of our School is to build character and develop a true manhood. Our constant aim is to prevent, rather than to punish, wrong-doing and we try to instill such sentiments of honor and moral responsibility as to enable the student to govern himself. Set rules are avoided, when possible, the general principle being laid clown that the boy has come here for a definite purpose, that he must endeavor honestly and cheerfully to perform the duties required, and must conduct himself as a gentleman. However, such rules as are deemed necessary to be made will be rigidly enforced. It is our aim to treat all with fairness and justice, believing this essential to successful discipline, for we believe that kindness accomplishes more than do harsh measures and excessive punishment. It is our wish to have the most kindly relations between teacher and pupil-to have the pupil realize that the teacher is his best friend, willing to do anything possible for his welfare and comfort. We insist, however, upon obedience to authority as equally fundamental to the well-being of any school. We bear patiently with the shortcomings of a pupil as long as there are hopes of his improvement, but continued failure to give evidence of growth in character must be a reason for his not being allowed to return. A boy who does no good, or does others harm, can not remain in the school. Happy Cadets Receive Merit Awards at Commencement 31 Young Scientists enjoy working in the Laboratory DO OUR STUDENTS ALL SUCCEED? Yes, for the most part they do. Some fail, but failures are the exception. There always will be a few failures, some from lack of sulhcient application, some from lack of ability to carry work further, and some from lack of thorough foundation in a particular subject. We can truthfully say that this third reason occurs only when the boy has not spent all four preparatory years at Green- brier. But our percentage of failures is very small and our graduates rank among the highest in schools of their choice. We invite you to inquire of the universities listed on page 57 as to the standing of Greenbrier graduates. The passing grade on which we award a diploma is 7575. However, we require a grade of 8075 and, for some colleges, 85? on junior and senior work here before we give a boy an unqualified recommendation for college entrance. Because of our thorough work and the records made by former graduates who have gone on to college, many institutions of higher learning will accept any of our graduates without examina- tion. The regular College Board Examinations required by many colleges are given in our school. Cadets wishing to take these examinations may make arrangements with our headmaster. 32 Th Off Dy R C I I Moore f-the- rts to PA RT III Faculty and Courses of Instruction Cor.. W. A. RAWL, JR., A.B., M.A. Dean and Assistant Treasurer The Ciradelg Duke University Our dean, Col. Rawl, is personally interested in the academic progress of our students. He may be consulted not only on financial matters but also about any other questions dealing with the welfare of your son. A WORD WITH THE DEAN . In Part II you have become familiar with our general aims and objectives, and the program we are endeavoring to carry out. To summarize that program, we feel that its strength lies in the emphasis on a continuing process of understanding guidance and intelligent assistance which encourages a student to work for improvement. His initial conference, his assignment to the proper classes which are kept small for daily individual instruction, and his entire academic program thereafter, all combine to encourage interest and good work on his part, so he may enjoy a well- rounded development. Special afternoon coaching classes, the weekly faculty meet- ings where his problems are studied and analyzed, supervised night study periods, and the friendly help of his personakadviser-all work toward the same end. He may go to his instructors for assistance whenever necessary. The superintendents see him monthly in guidance conferences and they are available for conference at other times if he desires to confer with them. His attitude is watched carefully. He receives public recognition for academic achievement. We realize that location, equipment, and personal care alone do not make the school. Although these are needed accessories, the teacher, the scholastic traditions and atmosphere, the ability to arouse in the boys an interest and desire for self- improvement-all of these constitute the school. It is our desire first of all to develop men of character, men of high Christian character. Is not this the highest aim and purpose for your son? We want to stamp upon the young men entrusted to our care and guidance those principles and that sense of honor which we all covet for our Children. It is our desire to offer such thorough instruction that it will enable our students to enter any of the good colleges and universities. We want to teach these young men to think for themselves, that they may be prepared for business and for life. Consider your boy. Does he know how to study? Is he being taught realistically by experienced men who know their business? We hope you will consider these questions carefully and study our methods further and see if it would not be well to place your boy at Greenbrier for his preparatory education. In the following pages we would like to introduce to you the men we have selected to help us carry out the high aims, objectives, and the philosophy of Green- brier. You will see their records and something of their qualifications. You will want to familiarize yourself with their faces in order that you may know them when you arrive at the school to meet them personally. These men will be closely and constantly associated with your son during his work and play activities. We believe you will approve of our selection of men for our teaching staff. They are Christian gentlemen, well qualihed in their field of endeavor. These are the men with whom your boy will live and work as a Greenbrier cadet.-W.A.R. LT.-COL. W. A. RICHARDSON, A. B.

Facts are valuable only as they furnish material for thought and application. Knowl- edge applied intelligently brings success. We believe in sound teaching, diligent application, and good work habits. Facts learned from a textbook are of no value unless they can be applied. We want our S111- dents to have a sound foundation in their academic subjects, to know how to reason and to develop a logical application of facts, so they may successfully continue their education in college or may be better fitted to cope with the problems of life. Every effort is made to capture the interest of our students so they will develop a desire for learning. We select our faculty officers with the utmost care and then give them freedom to teach in the classroom. These experienced men use every device at their command to build enthusiasm for learning in their students. In our weekly faculty meeting, they discuss teaching problems with other teachers and are always happy when they can report progress in specific cases. For more in- formation about this, be sure to read The Greenbrier Method, beginning on page 24. Our Instructors Always Stress Individual Attention to Students 45 4 'V 'B 'L I' ,-u- 'foie had w lv- A ,.-1 e-ii ,,. i in -'N?'55f'3 fx A Lecture in Military Science Class on Jackson's Valley Campaign. Hlgh School Courses Bible, spelling, and military science and tactics are taught all our students. Bible classes meet twice weekly, and a candidate for a diploma is required to earn a passing grade in this subject. Spelling is taught in conjunction with English classes. A student must take these subjects unless he is excused by the superintendent at the request of parent or guardian. Military science and tactics is a regular full-time course. A transfer student may receive credits in basic subjects earned in a regularly accredited high or preparatory school. Credit will not be allowed for music, manual training, shop work, physical training, or other non-academic subjects. Students are rarely permitted to carry more than four major subjects. Bible, spelling, penman- ship, and military science and tactics are not major subjects. Exceptions may be made where a student is repeating a course he has failed or in the case of a boy of exceptional scholastic ability. A candidate for a diploma must earn credits to meet requirements of one of our five high school courses. No credit will be allowed on a one-year course in a foreign language and the credit can not count for graduation except in Course IV. 46 Courses I, II, III, and IV are of the college preparatory nature, while Course V is a terminal course. Courses I and III are designed to prepare for any classical school, Courses II and III are especially designed for technical school preparation, and Course IV will meet the entrance require- ments of some colleges. Course V is not designed for preparation for college. Post-graduate Work Many high school students feel they are inadequately prepared to enter college or wish to study college work before actually enrolling as college freshmen. For these boys we offer a special post- graduate course including both regular and advanced work. These students are subject to the same general rules and regulations as all other cadets, but they may select an academic course which will give training in the particular subjects they need. For example, recently we had one student who had his high school diploma but felt he was deficient in mathematics and not at all ready for advanced work in this subject, so one of his courses was Algebra I. 1 Post-graduate students may review their high school subjects or take subjects which were not offered in their local high schools. They may take some classes which are practically equivalent to junior college work, such as our review, post-graduate English class, which makes up for important high school deficiencies, recognizing the fact that the first year in college is in many ways the most difficult. In no case will this work enable the student to claim college credit, A Junior School Course Because of the advantageous construction of our buildings, as explained on page 15, we are especially fitted to care for younger boys. Accordingly, we invite you to consider Greenbrier as a school which will give splendid over-all training, as well as particular attention, to your sons who are ready to enter the 7th grade. This group is in immediate charge of the Dean of the Junior School. He is their instructor in arithmetic and has charge of their training in behavior. The Dean conducts their special night study hall. These boys do not study with the older cadets in the main study hall, but assemble in a sep- arate room. The eighth grade boys are in the Junior School study hall one evening period and in the main study hall the second period unless they earn room study privileges. Every care and consideration is shown these younger cadets by their dean. We invite you to discuss with him the problems of the younger boy whenever you are here or to write to him at any time. This department prepares young students for the regular preparatory school course. Any boy of good character who has completed the sixth grade and who is in good health will be accepted for the junior School. Regular elementary school subjects are taught. The seventh grade course includes arithmetic, English, history, geography, reading and spelling. The eighth grade offers arithmetic and the funda- mentals of algebra, English, general science, physiology, Latin, and spelling. In the Junior School the boy receives individual attention just as do our older cadets. In addi- tion, he is given tactful but close supervision by experienced men who understand younger boys. He learns how to study and he is thoroughly prepared to enter the high school department. 47 HIGH SCHOOL COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSES These three college preparatory courses are designed to allow the student to place emphasis Where he and his advisors think best and at the same time make sure he will be well prepared for the college or university of his choice.

A good Bible dictionary or a Bible having the best modern helps bound with it are of assistance to a student. In Bible I and II the emphasis is on Old Testament history, and the course covers five books of the Bible each year. Bible III covers the Life of Christ. In all three courses, intelligent questions are encouraged and the students may participate in discussion periods. This course is not taught from a sectarian or denominational viewpoint. Though the Bible has varied uses and may be taught profitably for any purpose, yet it is wrong to lose sight of the truth that all these are subservient to the great end for which the revelation was given-the redemption of mankind. FIRST AND SECOND YEARS-THE HOLY BIBLE. THIRD YEAR-THE HOLY BIBLE, THE HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS, Szeeem and Burton. ENGLISH It is most certainly true that the average grammar school and high school pupil who enters Greenbrier is deficient in the use of his own language. This failure, particularly in English Grammar and the construction of the sentence, is a great drawback in the study of a foreign language. To remedy this denciency and at the same time to follow as closely as possible the recommendation on College Entrance Requirements and prepare students for College Board Examinations, this course is carefully planned and thoroughly taught. It is also true that the average student approaches English with the idea that all literature is dry and uninteresting. Our instructors, who are thoroughly interested in their subjects, make every effort to lead the student into the Land of Books, to help him secure a taste for good writing. Composition and theme work are required in each course. Neat work and logical development of thought are emphasized throughout. The careful reading and study of English and American classics acquaint the student with the best thought of English and American creative minds, and help him to cultivate a taste for good literature which will open for him a vast storehouse of worthwhile reading. All college preparatory courses require four units in English. 7TH GRADE-The student receives a thorough course in the fundamentals of grammar in- cluding parts of speech and sentence structure.

Theme work and letter writing are emphasized. Outside written as- signments and the instructor's lectures in addition to textbook work are designed to stimulate in- terest in reading. We feel the second year is the proper place to make absolutely certain a student is familiar with the mechanics of his own language, so that he may progress in higher study and in his work with foreign languages.

Theme work is also emphasized, especially during the second term. The last term is devoted to modern writers and a thorough read- ing course is given in the works of both old and new authors. Word study and grammar are also emphasized. LITERATURE OIF AMERICA, Ginn 8.1 Co., PLAIN ENGLISH HANDBOOK, Wnlrh and Wnlrbg WORKBOOK: ESSENTIALS OF ENGLISH, BOOK III, WORD STUDY, Gilrnnrnn.

How- ever, because colleges have found that most of their freshmen from all over the country know little about grammar and theme writing, emphasis is placed on this phase of English during the last term. Greenbrier graduates must be able to write acceptable themes. At least one theme each week Experienced Teachers-Small Classes-Individual Attention in M 50 is required during this term. Of course, the writings of English authors are studied thoroughly, and every effort is made to make English interesting rather than pedantic.

PUBLIC SPEAKING The public speaking course is divided into five courses for the year, so as to teach a boy practical speaking which will enable him to know how to present a subject before a group in later life. The five phases studied through the year are: l. Development and Construction of Speech. 2. Extemporaneous Speaking-the art of expressing yourself on a subject without preparation. 3. Humorous or After Dinner Speaking. 4. Debating. 5. Radio Speaking. The student is taught to select a suitable subject for a particular occasion, to write his speech to produce a desired effect, to speak convincingly. He is required to make talks with the class as audience. Various methods are used to simulate actual public events where one might be requested to speak. For example, sometimes the members of the class hold a mock presentation banquet, with one cadet as guest of honor, one as toastmaster, and each boy making a speech covering some phase of the guest's career. Occasionally members of the public speaking classes speak before service clubs and other organizations. The Reazrierit Digest is used regularly, many other periodicals are available for reference. MATHEMATICS The main object of our course is not so much to impart knowledge of facts but to teach men to think. To this end we give the study of mathematics an important place in our curriculum. To master the intricate problems of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, most assuredly requires reason- ing powers. To pass this course is difficult, but we prefer this to failure of our graduates in the college course. We have always been proud of the high standing in mathematics taken by our students in the colleges and universities and we feel that our thorough work is justified.

We bring out in our study the more important facts and causes, rather than the little details and statistical intricacies of the science. History studied in this way arouses the interest of the class and becomes interesting. Class tecitations compose our chief method of instruction. Parallel readings on a particular era from reference histories and encyclopedias are required, especially in the more advanced classes. Written outlines are made and themes are presented by the students. SEVENTH GRADE-THE STORY OF OUR AMERICA, Southworth and Southworth. WORK BooK.

In some schools many students who do begin this subject suffer either from lack of interest or incompe- tence on the part of their instructors, acquire a dislike for it, and discontinue its study. We feel that a boy who is educated should have a knowledge of Latin, and we attempt to interest our students in the study of Latin in every way possible. Our course is thorough and satisfies the college entrance requirements. FIRST YEAR-Daily drill in Forms, elementary syntaxg prose composition, easy readings. FIRST YEAR OF LATIN, Bennett.

Cadets interested in music, and properly qualified, are eligible for membership in the band, the glee club, and the dance orchestra. The director is also doing some ensemble work with students. When requested, vocal and Organ lessons may be taken at the Greenbrier College for Women at their regular rates. DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES A diploma will be presented to each student on the completion of any regular course, and every such student shall be declared a graduate of this school. There is no extra charge for this diploma. 56 COLLEGE ENTRANCE WITHOUT EXAMINATION Greenbrier is an established school. It is accredited. It is rated 'lMilitary School Honor ROTC Unit by the Department of the Army. Greenbrier is a member of the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States, the North-Central Educational Association, and the Vir- ginia Preparatory Schools Association. Graduates are admitted without examination, into the fresh- man class of all colleges and universities which accept students on certification. In the past they have been accepted by West Virginia, Virginia, Hampden-Sydney, Richmond, Randolph-Macon, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Lehigh, LaFayette, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Alabama, South Carolina, George Washington, North Carolina, Davidson, Georgia Tech, Duke, johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Cornell, Colgate, University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, Carnegie Tech, Virginia Polytechnical, Virginia Mili- tary Institute, University of Michigan, Northwestern, University of Wisconsin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Washington and Jefferson and others. COLLEGE BOARDS Many institutions of higher learning now require all candidates for admission to take the College Board Examinations. Lewisburg has been selected as one of the educational centers where these ex- aminations are held. Our juniors take the new Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests so they will have a better idea what type of test to expect the following year. Our seniors may take the regular College Boards here on one of the dates scheduled for these examinations. SCHOLARSHIP MEDALS As further incentives to do outstanding work in the academic department, the school awards medals in Bible, English, mathematics, language, social science, natural science, and commercial work. No cadet will be awarded more than one scholarship medal in any one year, and no student will be awarded a medal in the same subject in two consecutive years. To be eligible for a medal a cadet must be taking the subject at the point in his school career in which he is expected to take the class. A cadet will not be considered eligible for a medal in a subject he is repeating. The Bible medal is open to all cadets taking Bible. There are four English medals-one in the junior School, the Lower English Medal open to freshmen and sophomores taking English I or II, the Upper English Medal for juniors and seniors, and the College English Medal. The Upper English Medal is given by one of our former patrons, M. S. Rosen. In mathematics, four medals are offered following the same division noted above. The Language Department offers a Freshman Language Medal, open to first year students in French, Spanish, and German. The Latin Medal, for many years given by a former patron, the late Mr. E. L. Bell of Lewisburg, is now given by Mrs. Robert Sydenstricker. The Advanced Language Medal is open to students in the second and third year classes. In social science, the Freshman History Medal is open to students in ancient history classes. The Advanced History Medal is open to students in upper history classes who have taken a full year's work in the current session. 57 In natural science, the Lower Science Medal is open to students in the general science or biology classes. Upper Science Medal is offered in chemistry and physics. . The High School Commercial Medal is open to students taking two or more commercial sub- jects. There is also a junior School Spelling Prize, open to 7th and 8th grade cadets. There are other awards in addition to those specifically listed as Scholarship Medals. Tlhe Cadet Short Story Medal is awarded annually to that cadet who writes the best original short story. This special award is offered by Lt. Col. J. W. Benjamin in conjunction with the work in the Department of English. The Rosengarten Medal for Morale is given by a former patron of this school. The H. B. Moore Memorial Award is also presented through the thoughtfulness of former students. The A. W. Cox Public Speaking Award goes to the best student in that important subject. Still another incentive is membership in the Owls Club, open to the four top students in each class, based on academic grades together with good conduct and military records. THE 1959 OWLS CLUB 58 PART IV Military System of Education and Training onday pection Cadet CAPT. H. B. MOORE, JR., A.B., M.S. Commandant of Cadets h t military training provides not only the knowl- I realize more and more, as the years go by, t a ' d rnocracy but also insists on those moral edge and training necessary for the preservation of our e , ' ' ' fi ld of endeavor. The military school must pro- values which are a prerequisite for success in any e ' ' ' ' ' l d world affairs. It must foster self-confidence more interest and participation in local, nationa , an ' ' ' h cial and spiritual values which make for social and initiative and g ive a true appreciation of t ose so progress. We believe you will agree that in this atomic age the misgiving of thinking people is not about the bomb, the misgiving, as of any other age, is about the man. We at Greenbrier train your son for citizenship in today's world. Because of out objectives, we give due recognition to military science and training. Strong em- phasis is given to social and moral values, to the dignity of man. We believe that our military pro- gram, aside from direct intrinsic value, enhances the effectiveness of our entire educational system. 'Ilhe military system encourages our boys to strive for excellence, for here merit alone wins the honors. Our cadets take an active part in actually running the school each day when they serve as members of the guard detail. The cadet ofiicers have a valuable opportunity to cultivate discretion, tact, judgment, and the proper use of authority. Cadets learn self control, promptness, neatness, trustworthiness, not from books but from life. We believe a man must learn to obey before he is lit 60 RESERVE OEEICERS TRAINING CORPS Greenbrier has a Reserve Officers Training Corps which operates under the Depart- ment of the Army. Assigned to the school is Detachment 1, U. S. Army Instructor Group C2156-OSD, including three Regular Army officers and five Regular Army noncommissioned officers. The Department of the Army has selected Greenbrier's ROTC as a Military Honor ROTC Unit. WALTER C. STANTON, JR. WELDOQN L.

This training in following instructions and in the command and control of men is of incalculable value in this age of enterprise when executive ability is often the key to success. Our military training induces pride in dress and appearance, in personal conduct and deport- ment. It teaches the importance of self-reliance in order that responsibilities may be met with credit and success. It assists in the physical development of a boy, and makes for manly bearing. It frowns on anything which is low or dishonorable. We believe whole-heartedly in our military system of training, so much so that we would not be satisfied with any sort of so called semi-military training. Wshile reading this book you will see at once that the military program does not take up too much of the boy's schedule but leaves him plenty of time for a complete, well-rounded school life.-J. R.

UNIT The Department of the Army maintains a Unit CMSTD of the Reserve Officers, Training Corps at Greenbrier. The unit is staffed with Regular Army personnel who have had practical experience of from 6 to 16 years in the service. These men are teaching subjects which they have seen put into practice in regular Army training. Such personnel are carefully screened to be sure they are suitable for this type of work. They are close to the students and are always on call to assist the boys. Extra classes and training is fur- nished for those particularly interested in weapons. The government furnishes each cadet with a complete set of full field equipment. Only those cadets fourteen years of age or older, enrolled in high school or college, and in good physical condi- tion are eligible for enrollment in the unit. If a boy is qualined to take ROTC work credit in this subject is required for graduation. SERGEANT FIRST CLAss SPECIALIST 2D CLASS RALPH M. DEGAGNE FRED E.

COMPANY E Our junior School cadets are in a particularly happy position for training because they live in their own barracks but at the same time are near enough to the older boys so they feel there is not too much distinction. They do not belong to the ROTC but they are members of Company E. Several ROTC cadets are attached to this company to assist with drill for the smaller boys. Company E cadets do not study military science and tactics. However, they learn military drill and participate in all parades and special functions of the military. Thus they derive a great deal of benefit and pleasure from their military work and at the same time receive valuable training which is of considerable aid to them when they are old enough to take the regular course. HONOR GRADUATE APPOINTEES' Each year a Board of Officers from Second Army Headquarters, representing the Department of De- fense, inspects all essentially military schools and rates their military work according to merit. If the work is of sufficiently high calibre, a school is designated as a Military Honor School ROTC Unit. Greenbrier has consistently held this high rating. Honor Graduates To these selected schools are allotted 40 appointees to the United States Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. Each year our upperclassmen who rank high in scholarship, military leadership, and character are designated Honor Graduates. Three ofthese have the opportunity to enter a competitive examination against three honor graduates from each of the other Military School Honor ROTC Units for appoint- ments to the United States Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. In June, 1959, visiting officers include-d Col. Theodore F. Kimpton, Deputy Commander, United States Army Corps: Col. John 0. Keefe, represent- ing the Reserve Officers Association of America, other officers from the Schultz-St. Clair Chapter, ROA: visiting officers including parents of cadets representing all branches of the military service. Citation cords are given at Commencement to the first year R. O. T. C. Cadet and the Junior Company private who win over their competitors by drilling without error for the longest period of time. These Final Competitions are always among the most interesting of our commencement features. These are the Best Drilled Cadet awards announced on page 77. Three honor graduates are also eligible to compete for appointments to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. Other Appointments The Honor Graduates, as well as other graduates who have made excellent records, find our training of inestimable value when they prepare to take the service school entrance examinations or the competitive examinations sometimes required foriCongressional, Senatorial, or other appointments to West Point or Annapolis. Record We are justifiably proud of the fact that we have sent many fine young men to the United States Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, and the United States Coast Guard Academy. Many Greenbrier alumni are serving with distinction as officers in our armed forces. We are doubly proud of the splendid records made by our graduates in these specialized schools. Never has a Greenbrier graduate, recommended by our faculty for an appointment to one of these institutions, failed to complete his work there and graduate into the service. We believe this record may possibly be unique among the preparatory schools of the nation. Promotions Promotions in the cadet battalion are made on the basis of grades, drill field performance, character and dependability. and leadership potential. AWARDS Basis for Awards To stimulate interest in military work, a number of citation cords, trophies, and medals are presented to outstanding cadets during Graduation Week. Some of the presentations are made as a feature of the Graduation Parade. Others are made at the final Commencement program. The Charles J. Hinkle Trophy Cup, given by an alumnus to stimulate excellence in military drill, is awarded each year to the company judged to be the best drilled in the battalion. i'Honor Company is a designation which holds throughout the following year, and is based on a year-long rating system covering dress parades, Monday morning inspections, the intercompany tournaments. and final competitive drills. All medals presented for best drilled excellence are based on final competitive drills. Other awards are based on year-long records. The two medals to outstanding military students are presented through the courtesy of the Reserve Officers Association of West Virginia. The Professor of Military Science and Tactics awards a medal to the best cadet military science instructor. Selected cadets compete for this award in a final program following an elimination series.

Moore, jr., National Rifle Association Club. Rifle is taught the entire corpsg this facilitates the selection of varsity team members. Here are held our shoulder- to-shoulder rifle matches with teams from other schools. Our varsity team this year has a 20-match schedule and will also fire in the Hearst and Army National Matches.

V. P. I. Inrerscholastic Greenbrier's teams in past years have won live national first place trophies. We have produced six national individual champion marksmen. In 1958, we took second place in the W. R. Hearst National March, beating every essentially military school except one, coast-to-coast. Last year's team had a good 15-3 record in the regular season. Members of the 1960 rifle team are team captain Vincent German, Howard Hair, Fred Stevens, Walter Lett, Leon johenning, Richard Nowlin, Nathaniel Burgess, Victor Tucker, Ken Hurt, Harold Burkett, Mason Clark, David Downs, john Peck, Arnold Gilmer, Edward Harding, James Dunlap, and William Lemon. Range Firing Following a thorough course in marksmanship and safety instructions, all cadets fire a familiar- ization course with the Army .22 calibre rifle. This is a valuable training feature, always received with enthusiasm by the cadets. It gives an understanding of Army methods. The high scoring com- pany ancl high scoring individuals in each company receive due recognition. PRACTICE SESSIONS ON THE INDOOR RANGE CAN BE FUN! 68 THE GREENBRIER BAND Realizing that music is an essential feature in a military organization, Greenbrier has always had a band of which we could be proud. We have thirty or more pieces, and all qualified cadets may apply for membership in the band. Playing under the direction of an experienced bandmaster, this organization furnishes music for drills and parades, plays for special programs, and sometimes participates in local parades and celebration. In addition, the band sometimes takes trips to such events as the Shenandoah Valley Apple Blossom Festival, the State Forest Festival, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, the Na- tional Coal Festival. It has played for Armed Forces Day parades in various cities in this and neighboring states. The annual band concert is a feature of our commencement program. The Greenbrier Cadet Band has won more than twenty trophies in competition against musi- cal units from other schools. Over one recent span of time, the band entered eight contests and won five first place trophies, two second place awards, and one third place. These trophies are on display in a glass-enclosed case in our main hall. In addition to providing an immediate outlet for musical talent, participation in band work gives a boy experience which is helpful if he decides to continue his musical career. To foster interest in band music, two medals are offered, the national Arion Award medal and the Band Improvement Medal. Because band members practice playing and marching during the regular drill periods, it is unnecessary to use much of the boys, spare time for practice. This is in decided contrast to most high school band programs, which necessarily require a maximum of time outside of school hours. 69 The Color Guard PART V Health and Physical Wblfare MEDICAL ef..

PERSONAL CARE AND HEALTH Another important feature of our school is the personal care taken of your boy and the oversight at all times. But, of especial interest to the parent, should be the health provisions of the school, the facilities for taking care of boys when they are sick and the precautions taken to prevent sickness of any kind. We have already emphasized the character of our building, with its modern construction and good lighting. We will treat later the value of regular, systematic exercise as tending to keep boys in good health for we want to emphasize now our health record. The health record of Greenbrier is good almost beyond belief. We have not felt it necessary to require our boys to take the typhoid serum, though, of course, this is always a wise precautionary measure. We attribute our remarkable health record to ideal living conditions, regular systematic exercise, our high altitude with its pure air, our carefully balanced well cooked food, and our safe, abundant water supply. . Our entire plant is kept clean and sanitary. We keep men employed all the time for this purpose. Besides, we go over everything during the summer months, cleaning every piece of furniture, sterilizing and painting, and boys return in the fall to a clean plant. Nothing is left undone to pre- vent sickness among our cadets and thus assure a successful year's work. Physicians and Nurse Cases of sickness needing special attention of any kind are rare. The sick will always have immediate attention and parents may rest assured they will be promptly notified if their son is sick. Failure to write home is generally due to the fact that a boy is busy, happy, and contented, and not to sickness or malady of any kind. The school authorities employ a physician, who has an office in the school and keeps daily office hours. Any boy may see him during these hours and at other times when necessary. And we pay this expense, furnishing common remedies and first aid supplies. This insures medical attention, for boys will often fail to send for the doctor when it is left for them to secure his services, and thus will let a malady develop to serious disease, when attention at the beginning would have prevented the trouble. We would not go back to the old plan and do without our salary paid physician. Physician's services and consultations in serious cases are paid for by patron or guardian. We employ a registered nurse who is in charge of the iniirmary at all times. She lives in the inntmary, has sick call three times daily, and will treat the boys at other times in case of emergency. She also helps them outside her professional duties and is particularly interested in the cleanliness and general health of the younger boys. Special Nurse When it is necessary, in the opinion of the doctor and the school ofhcials in charge, that a special nurse be employed, they do so immediately and then notify the patent. No risks of delay are ever taken. This extra cost of special attention must be borne by the parent or guardian. 73 In firmary The upper floor of one wing of our building is given over entirely to an infirmary which is much more complete than one will find in the average school. Here we have a well equipped dispensary, with the latest modern drugs ready for immediate use in case of emergency. The nurses, living quarters are in this wing. It also contains three semi-private rooms and a large, well lighted and heated ward for general use of cadets. There are showers, sinks, toilet facilities, and all the necessary equipment for a modern infirmary. Routine medical supplies and bandages are furnished. All medicine secured on prescription is charged to the cadet and must be paid for by parent or guardian. Physical Examinations Each cadet entering Greenbrier is required to have a physical examination prior to the open- ing of school. This is in accordance with existing R.O.T.C. requirements. In addition, each cadet must receive combination Asian and Polyvalent Influenza inoculation and Poliomyelitis inoculations before arriving at the school. In August we shall mail you one of the physical examination blanks on which is to be made a complete record of your son's physical condition. On it must be listed a record and dates of all inocula- tions, as well as contagious sicknesses he has had. Your cooperation in these matters is very necessary. Careful health records are kept in our infirmary. Here we see Nurse Mitchell checking the blood pressure of one of our students. 74 THE CULINARY DEPARTMENT GOOD FOOD-A Necessity in a Good School Let us call your attention to the food at Greenbrier. Its preparation is under the direction of Miss Willie Moore, an experienced dietitian and a sister of the owners of the school. Many of the Moore family, and all the faculty and their families who live in the dormitory, eat at the same tables and of the same food as cadets. The first class cooking equipment insures its being well prepared. Some of our kitchen staff have been with us for many years. Much of the fresh produce is raised locally, and every effort is made on the part of the dietitian and her staff to prepare good wholesome meals three times a day. We believe you will find the meals above the average of that served in schools of this type. The supply is always adequate. Our meats are grown and butchered on our farms and prepared in high pressure steam cookers, so that the fine flavor and nutritive strength are retained. . The bottom floor of the entire wing of our main building contains the most modern deep freeze equipment and adequate cold storage space for our meats and other perishable foods. We believe this addition to our plant is unique among military schools. Our milk, butter, ice cream, all secured fresh from our own tested dairy herd and stored in our modernly cooled rooms, comes on our tables to nourish the growing boys placed in our care. Our constant aim is to furnish scientihcally well-balanced food, carefully cooked and served. We do not guarantee all the frills and knick-knacks of the home-would not furnish them if we could, as plainer food is more wholesome. Some dessert is served at dinner each day. We invite the in- spection of this department by our patrons and friends at any time. See the letter below from a patron whose name is not given. We have many letters of this same kind. Our buildings are plentifully equipped with bubble fountains, thus doing away with unsanitary drinking cups and the consequent spreading of germs. Where cups are used in our building, they are the sanitary use-and-destroy type and are kept in regular sanitary dispensers for individual use. My Dear Colonel Moore: James leaves for school tomorrow. He has had a very pleasant vacation, but l am sure he is glad to get back to school. l was more than delighted with Jirn's appearance. lt seems almost a miracle, the change in his physical condition and in every way and l cannot say or thank you enough. I hope he will continue to improve. Many people have met him and all remark about his condition and say, You certainly are an ad for Greenbrier. A number of parents have called me up and inquired into the school, My brother thinks very much of sending his son to Greenbrier next fall. Will appreciate very much if you will let me hear from time to time just how he is doing. With best regards and wishing you all a very happy New Year. I remain sincerely 75 N Th e Captains . ig ff-A' 112.53 - X - my ww ., -1' w wf 1 v .- 4 . -,,- ug... 1, , 55'- , 4g ':,' Q' X 1 z 1'5 '4 K fisii ,.. -f ' A : HTL '- J' - ff 1 LQ, fffci' w f.

Education does not demand that a boy pursue his studies at the expense of shattered health. Athletic activity prop- erly conducted, develops both mental awareness and moral stamina. Directed by trained, experienced personnel, our program is designed to help each cadet follow the old but still excellent advice and develop a sound mind in a sound body. Our well-rounded program includes both a complete intramural schedule and carefully super- vised interscholastic sports. For example, we have four football teams, each playing a full schedule. Thus each boy has an opportunity to compete against other boys of his own general weight and age group.. lnterscholasticsports includebasketball, football, baseball, track, and riflery. We do not over-emphasize athletics in any way. All boys must observe regular study periods and attend necessary coaching classes. However, because of our carefully planned schedule a student finds he has time to prepare his lesson assignments and also to take part in sports. FACILITIES Mathews Field Since we have 45 acres in the school campus and grounds, it is possible to provide plenty of space for large athletic fields. Mathews Field, named in honor of Alexander Mathews, the Hrst of our alumni to lose his life in action in World War I, contains two gridirons for football, a baseball diamond and a practice diamond, a quarter-mile cinder track, and room for all outdoor games. There are concrete stands for cadets on the east side, with a small but adequate press box used by reporters and broadcasters covering interscholastic games. In season, bleacher seats are erected for sports fans. just back of Mathews Field, and actually a part of it, are new hard-surfaced tennis courts used by the cadets during the fall and spring sessions, as well as handball and volleyball and outdoor basketball 8 The Generals-Our Junior School Team Plays a Regular Schedule. 7 , The H. B. Moore Memorial Gymnasium has plenty of comforfable seats. courts. Back of these there is an additional held for football and baseball. The Greenbrier Valley Country Club, a nine-hole layout on which the State Open was held a few years ago, provides a splendid challenge for golfers and is located less than two miles from the school. It is available for play by cadet golfers. Gymnasilun Our gymnasiums are described in Part I of this book. One is used for intercompany and interscholastic basketball games, indoor drill, and all indoor intercompany sports. It contains a large room devoted entirely to intramurals, with a supply room from which cadets may check out athletic equipment for practice or games. Our new, modern gymnasium opened in the fall of 1954, provides even more facilities for the cadets. The rifle range is in the same building. INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intercompany Sports Council Greenbrier's intramural program, runs on an intercompany basis, provides athletic participation the year around. Although intercompany team participation is entirely voluntary, all cadets are eligible and better than 90? of the cadets took part in intramurals last year. Each company names its representatives to the Intercompany Sports Council, and a Cadet Direc- tor is selected. The Council rules on questions of eligibility, considers any protests by team captains, and arranges schedules. The Council also keeps the scoring system, and assigns ofiicials. Good sports- manship is an intrinsic part of this program. 79 Everybody Has Fun Competing On Enthusiastic Company Teams Intramural Trophies Are Awarded at Commencement. so C it Championship Teams Faculty officers are assigned to the companies to coach the teams in major sports. Champion- ship teams are suitably recognized. All-tournament teams are selected for the major sports. A faculty team plays the championship cadet team in touch football, basketball, and softball. By tradition, these games have come to be highlights of the intercompany schedule. Events The program includes both indoor and outdoor sports. Among these are touch football, basket- ball, softball, tennis, golf, riflery, swimming, track, wrestling and boxing, handball, volleyball, pocket billiards, horseshoes, ping pong, and other games. Chess and checker tournaments are included during the winter months. Riilery Each company may have two teams in riflery. Expert marksmen from the military department, observing every safety precaution, direct the rifie competition. Our indoor ranges are used for this event. Swimming , Each year the intercompany swimmers compete in the beautiful pool at the Greenbrier Hotel. This is always of great interest to the guests of the Greenbrier as well as to our cadets. Track A Field Day is held under the direction of the track coach and his assistants. Individual as well as company winners are given suitable recognition. , , Wrestling and Boxing We do not send our boys on interscholastic wrestling and boxing trips, preferring to limit these sports to boys who wish to participate on an intercompany basis. During the winter months we hold tournaments to name the winners in the various weight classes in both these sports. The 1959 Team-Eastern States Prep Champs. 81 M-,fm . .arm Swv 1959 vARsn'Y sQuAD Junior School junior School boys have their own Company E teams, do well in intercompany competition, and in some sports, such as wrestling and boxing, they hold their own tournaments. Awards In addition to the Athletic Streamer, we offer a large number of individual awards. Wimers in the various divisions in the different sports receive these trophies at a suitable ceremony during Graduation Week. Athletic Day In addition to other times allotted to sports, we have left Thursday afternoon free from mili- tary drill so each boy may use this time for athletics. Many of our minor team games are scheduled on Thursdays. The school owns quite a number of fine riding horses which are used in our sum- mer camp. At times we have had a course in equitation at the school, and this course is available if there is suihcient demand for it. VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM-1959 s INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS Many Teams I In major sports, we have several teams for interscholastic play. For example, this fall the var- sity, junior varsity, Captains, and Midgets all played complete football schedules. We have four basketball teams and two, sometimes three, baseball teams. Well Balanced Greenbrier has a carefully balanced interscholastic athletic program. Our teams meet those from other schools in football, basketball, baseball, riflery, tennis, and golf. Although Greenbrier teams have been uniformly successful and have a winning record over the years, we believe good sportsmanship is more important than victory, and our coaches insist on fair play at all times. We are proud of the reputation for good conduct held by our teams as well as of their winning records. The corps of cadets is courteous and gentlemanly in its attitude toward visiting teams and officials. THE 1959 VARSITY TRACK TEAM Records We have had undefeated seasons and probably will enjoy such success again. We have also lost our share of games. This is as it should be. Many of our boys go on to star on college and university teams. Greenbrier has had at least three All-American selections among its alumni. Coaches We have a capable athletic director and experienced coaches for all teams. There is no over- emphasis on the varsity players, but good training is given all boys. Although the term has been used too loosely in recent years, our coaches do believe in character building as well as in developing winning teams, and we feel any parent may be proud to have his sons coached by the men on our staH. Participation Basis No student will be allowed to participate in games away from Lewisburg against the wishes of parents or guardian, if so expressed. Any student not making satisfactory progress in his studies will be required to attend an extra afternoon study period which will interfere with his efforts to make the team. 84 2 I All participants in athletics, whether on varsity or junior teams, take part in these sports because of their desire and the benefit received and not as a favor to the school. We are as careful as it is possible to be as to accidents or injuries of any kind, but special expense connected with any accident or injury must be borne by the patron, and anyone taking part in any sport is expected to know and to subscribe to this. AWARDS Letters The right to wear the school G is given to members of varsity teams in major sports if they meet with the requirements set up for this privilege. Suitable letters are also awarded for minor sports and to members of interscholastic teams other than the varsity. Medals and Trophies In addition to individual medals in the intramural sports program, there are certain special awards in athletics. The Best All-round Athlete medal is given through the courtesy of an alumnus, E. Haines Gregg. Capt. Richard Staten, an alumnus now on our faculty staff, offers each year the Staten Sportsmanship Award for spirit and interest in the morale and sportsmanship of the teams. Earl Swingle, also an alumnus, annually gives the Swingle Trophy to the cadet judged to have shown the most effort and interest in the intramural sports program. 85 rs, ,, N v ., . in il I . 5 4 0-6488.

BEN JAMIN Director of Student Activities In addition to scholastic work, military instruction, and athletic participation, a young man also needs the opportunity to develop socially. This is important not only for his present happiness but also for his future, when he will take his place in the life of his own community. He must be given every chance to develop any latent talents for organizational work in a program of extracurricular activities which will provide the opportunity for definite individual achievement, At Greenbrier the faculty officers and their families are close to the cadets, and both students and faculty families attend many social functions together. There is a definite family feeling in the school-so much so, in fact, that we include our alumni in this group and regularly run a popular department, News of the Greenbrier Family, in our Alumni Record. This close and harmonious relationship between faculty and students helps provide excellent social training in addition to serving as an important factor in the general morale of the corps. Our boys are helped to develop their original talents in a number of organizations which will be described in some detail in this section of the book. Every effort is made to encourage a boy to participate in extracurricular activities of his choice. -J, W, B. 88 SCHOOL LIFE Religious Privileges Greenbrier is a Christian school, founded and maintained by Christian men, with the design that a strong religious iniiuence shall pervade the training and discipline. Its faculty contains only Christian men who value character above scholarship. Trustworthiness and high principle are set before all as of far greater value than mere cleverness. We pay constant and kindly attention to the manners and gentlemanly deportment of students, making use of the best moral and religious influences. In addition to Bible classes, devotional exercises are held daily in the chapel, led by members of the faculty in rotation and by the ministers of the town and community. ' On Sundays all cadets are required to attend one of the churches of the town. Those belonging to other than the Presbyterian Church may attend their respective churches and Sunday schools chaperoned by a member of the faculty or a cadet oflicet. There are Methodist, Baptist, and Episcopal services. All students, however, must attend some church. The Catholic boys are permitted to atrend mass every Sunday morning in Ronceverte. The school is in no sense sectarian. On Sunday evening all students attend historic Old Stone Church in a body. Arrangements are made each year so that boys sincerely interested in taking part in the young people's groups at the churches of their choice may attend these meetings. The Queen and Maids of Honor and their Escorts have the first dance at the Graduation Ball. 89 Dances and Banquets Application Privileges On Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, regular afternoons for town leave, cadets may report off for town without special application. On Saturday eve- nings and Sunday afternoons they may report off on special application signed by the proper official. Because of the high standard of honor in the bat- talion, we trust our boys not to abuse these privi- leges. For example, on Saturday evening from 7:50 to ll.:OO o'clock there may be one group of boys enjoying the show at the Lewis Theatre, another crowd may be attending a party in a private home, while other boys will be calling on friends in vari- ous homes in Lewisburg and vicinity. On Sunday afternoons the boys may go walking cross-country or visit friends in their homes. In addition to various parties and informal gatherings throughout the year, we have a number of dances in the gymnasium for the cadets and their friends. Dances usually come on or near spe- C1211 OCCQSIOHS- Such as OPaamg5f fha annual Home' rf coming Dance, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Guests Greet the Prem, Queen of the Brier and the like. The Graduation Ball is held in the af The Graduation Ball- beautiful Rose Ballroom of the Greenbrier Hotel. Companies hold their own banquets during the year. The various cadet organizations and teams often hold banquets. These are not only pleasant social occasions but also opportunities for experi- ence in organization, presiding before an audience, and after-dinner speaking. Greenbrier College Our cadets are privileged to visit the girls of Greenbrier College on Saturday evenings. College girls are often guests of the cadets at our dances, and in turn they invite friends from our school to their dances and on other social occasions. This makes for a pleasant relationship. Special Privileges Such extras as Senior Privileges and Spring Privileges enable many of our cadets to have extra hours away from the school grounds. For example, cadets with no demerits registered against them and more merits than demerits on March lst may visit town more often. Their merit privileges are earned by avoiding reports during inspections and other routine school matters, and many of our boys make good use of them. Merit privileges may be used to attend the moving picture show on a school night, provided the cadet studies several hours in the afternoon, or to attend a Community Concert program or some other event which happens to fall on a school night. Library and Lounge As Part of his school life, a cadet should have the chance to read quietly or to relax among friends in cheerful surroundings. 90 - Our library is a large, well lighted room, with one section semi-enclosed for privacy, where cadets and faculty may do research work or read maga- zines and newspapers. A number of newspapers, including the New York Times, and a large selection of both popular and specialized magazines are always available. We have some 5,500 volumes, including fiction, biography, science, history, and books in many other fields of literature, as well as up-to-date encyclo- pedias and other reference books. Back numbers of important magazines, such as The National Geographic and Reader's Digest, are readily avail- able. The books are cataloged and may be used in the library or withdrawn in accordance with the The Senior Ring Honor- Duty-Truth regular library rules. A television set is available during hours when viewing will not coniiict with school duties. On the first Hoot of the quadrangle there is a ping-pong room where cadets enjoy this active game. ' ORGANIZATIONS Hall of Fame Since 1931, an unbiased board of school authorities has made annually an exhaustive study of the records and names three students of senior or post-graduate standing to the Hall of Fame. Their names are carried on the perpetual roll in the school's main hallway and reprinted each year in the school year book, together with the names and citations of the three initiates. This is considered by many to be Greenbrier's highest honor. A student wins this distinction on his over-all record as well as his achievement in some special field of endeavor. Citations have been given for such qualities as Military, Ath- letics, Publications, Music, Attention to Duty, Band and Orchestra, Character and Leader- ship, and Loyalty. Owls Club To stimulate the seeking of knowledge and to recognize outstanding achievement in the academic department, four leading students from each class, junior school through junior college, are named to the Owls Club each spring. There are strict and specific academic qualifications which must be met in order to earn membership in this club. A member must earn his standing each year. A special shoulder patch, blue owl's head on gold background, is worn on the uniform blouse. All Owls Club rosters are carried in perpetuity on a scroll displayed in the main hallway. Advisors are the superintendent, the direc- tor of Student activities, and the professor of Tom Wilson, 1958 Associate Editor and 1959 Editor, - I U l accepts the SIPA First Place Trophy Award for the Brier 11'11l1E21fy' SCISUCB and IHCUCS.

Membership is by election, but no worthy candidate may be excluded for personal bias. To be eligible, a cadet must be of junior or higher standing, generally fall within the upper third of his classes in scholastic standing, be recommended by the adviser, and be approved by the Executive Secretary, Edward Knell, of Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill. He must do outstanding work for a school publication, and samples of his work must be submitted to national headquarters. There are active, honorary, and faculty memberships in Quill and Scroll. Honorary members may be elected on the basis of distinguished work in the field of letters. Members wear the oflicial pin on civilian clothing. At the suggestion of our chapter, several years ago the national organization approved a special identification ribbon to be worn on the uniform blouse. The adviser is the faculty oflicer in charge of our student newspaper. Honor Court Boot Hi-Y Club The Honor Court directs the student government at Greenbrier. Membership on the court is a distinction but, at the same time, carries with it great responsibility and calls for the best a man has to offer. The cadet major is president of the Honor Court. The Advisor is the Commandant of Cadets. and Spur The Boot and Spur Club is a commissioned oflicers organization which sponsors social activities in the school. Active members include the battalion commander, company commandersuof the ROTC battalion, and others elected by the club. All former members are considered inactive mem-bers in good standing, and the club may elect as honorary members persons not in the cadet corps. The Boot and Spur Club not only directs dances and other social affairs throughout the year but also holds the colorful Graduation Ball each spring. There is a faculty advisor for this organization. The Greenbrier Hi-Y Club is affiliated with the national organization. Its purpose is to promote higher standards of personal and group con- duct, to emphasize the im portance of religious infiu ence in daily living, and good fellowship. The club members often take on special projects, such as conducting morning chapel services, asking grace in the school dining hall, and sponsoring worthy charities.

A Cadet Director is selected. This council has charge of our important intercompany sports program. The advisor is the Director of Intramural Sports. Joseph M. Moore, Jr., Rifle Club The This club was named for an alumnus of Greenbrier, the son of Col. and Mrs. J. M. Moore, who lost his life in action in World War II. It is afliiliated with the Junior National Rifle Association. Members of the rilie team are eligible for membership on application. Members may qualify for distinctions ranging from Pro-Marksman to Distinguished Rifleman. The advisor is the Professor of Military Science and Tactics. OTHER ACTIVITIES 21 Club ' This group was formed as a channeling organization for cadets who feel they have suggestions they believe will be helpful to the administration. Its purpose is to improve life at Greenbrier in every possible way, and toward this end it accepts suggestions, offers its help to the administration, and generally works for a better school. The name came from the fact that there were 21 cadets in the original group. As the idea caught on, other good men wished to join, and the membership increased. Model Airplane Club This club varies in activities from year to year. It is often a big springtime favorite with the junior School cadets, but we have found their older fellows also like to make beautiful model planes. We hear the put-t-t-t-t of their motors sometimes during long sunny spring afternoons. Camera Club Our more enthusiastic shutter-bugsi' make up the personnel of this club. At present, Capt. Norton is the advisor. In addition to taking pictures for their own enjoyment, members often hold contests, develop and print their own work, and furnish photos for cadet publications. Waiters Club As the yearbook explained last year, These are the cadets who not only stand but also serve and wait. The boys who work in the dining hall make up an honored and respected group of young men and have every reason to be proud of their affiliation with this club. Lewisburg Leisure Lovers The This club, not to be taken too seriously, is an organization made up of most of our Day Cadets. It is the oldest organized club on the campus, and although its activities generally consist mainly of meeting for the annual picture, still it does serve a good purpose-to remind us that Green- brier, since the old brick academy days of 1812, has NOT been a prophet not without honor save in his own country. We have always enjoyed and appreciated friendly relations with the people of the community. Many of their sons have studied at Greenbrier, and we number them among our most loyal and valued alumni. 280 Club This is a new organization of cadets who shoot at least 280 in an interscholastic rifle match. The rifle team coach is the sponsor. 93 Publications A student interested in journalism may develop his talent by writing for one or both of our student publications. The cadets publish a monthly newspaper, Green-Briers, and an annual, The Brier Patch. Editors and key men on the staff of each publication are chosen on the basis of interest, experience, and ability. Many of our former staff members have elected to major in journalism in college. A surprising number of former writers for our publications are holding good positions as newspaper or magazine writers and editors. Both publications have consistently placed high in contests conducted by the School of Journal- ism at our state university, the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, and other accredited organizations. Our annual has many times been judged the best entered by a private school in the SIPA contest at Lexington, Va., where delegates from all over the South gather for the annual con- vention. Our newspaper has often been judged a First Honors publication in the state news- paper contest conducted by the West Virginia University journalism School. It has also received the coveted Charleston Press Club Trophy awarded annually to a West Virginia high school paper for service to school and community. Under faculty supervision, representatives of the two publication staffs attend selected press conventions, hear nationally famous speakers, and get professional advice on editorial problems. Every effort is made to give the student journalist an opportunity to develop his latent talents as a writer, an artist, a photographer, or a business department worker. These publications are read eagerly by our students and friends and both papers and year books make wonderful reminders of school days in the years to come. - Both publications are under the direction of experienced men who have had college training and also professional experience in newspaper and magazine work. We also publish a 16-page quarterly magazine, edited by the Alumni Secretary-The Alumni Record, read by over 2,000 former Greenbrier cadets. On occasion, student photography, art work, and writing are used in this magazine. Glee Club Our Glee Club is open to all boys who are able to qualify for the training. It frequently sings for programs in assembly, holidays, and other special occasions. In addition, the club sometimes makes outside appearances. Closely allied with this club is the church choir. This group often furnishes special music for the Sunday evening services. Orchestra The cadet orchestra, or dance band, plays for many of our school dances and also fills a limited number of outside engagements. The orchestra also plays for various special programs. In connec- tion with the dance band, there is also a five-piece Combo that is very popular. Public Speaking In this activity, emphasis is directed toward training of cadets who speak in our own school. Students from the public speaking classes have visited Rotary and other service clubs in this and neighboring towns. The Latin-American students have taken a leading part in various public programs in the community, such as United Nations Day ceremonies and service club programs. 94 Morning Chapel Each morning the cadets march into our auditorium where we begin the day with a brief non- sectarian worship service. We feel it is a Hne thing for our young men to assemble together to sing and listen to a brief talk and prayer before beginning their classwork for the day, Usually a faculty officer is the speaker. Sometimes visiting speakers are welcomed, and on occasion representatives of various cadet organizations have charge of the chapel program. Radio We do not have a regular radio class or workshop. However, for several years the school pro- duced a half-hour radio show over WRON, National Broadcasting Company affiliate station in nearby Ronceverte, twice each month. At least three of the Junior College students, who were regulars on 'iAt Ease , have since held professional positions in radio, and one is fast becoming a headliner in radio and IV. On special occasions, when talent permits, students will make radio appearances. Students are occasionally sent on tours to radio stations by arrangement with the program directors. Various organizations in the school, including the band and orchestra, have been heard over the air. We feel this radio experience is worthwhile and our boys have always enjoyed it. We shall continue to arrange such programs from time to time. Queen of the Brier Each year our newspaper conducts a beauty contest to End The Queen of the Brier. Each cadet in the corps may enter the photo of one girl. Such distinguished judges as the art editors of The Saturday Evening Post, Esquire and Cosmopolitan, jon Whitcomb, and Vargas have se- lected our queens. Our yearbook features the Queen and her four Maids of Honor. The coronation ceremony is held at the Graduation Ball, under the auspices of Boot and Spur. Each year some dis- tinguished personage places the dainty crown of white blossoms on the head of the current Queen. The Cadet Glee Club Practices for Night Choir. 95 THE JUNIOR SCHOOL Social Life The junior School cadets may attend school dances and parties. Often they have social affairs of their own. Every effort is made to teach them how to behave soci so they will overcome natu- ral timidity and be at ease in any gathering. Their daily schedule close- ly parallels that of the o boys. Awards Two of the special awards for Junior School cadets based on qualities which may be developed in the day by day life of the boy. ally lder ELIC The Camer.a Club The Hon.

The ofiicial Senior rings have on them the words HONOR-DUTY-TRUTH. This plaque is a constant reminder to us that in time of need our alumni answered the call of our country and were true to the virtues mentioned on the senior rings. High Standards A FINAL WURD We feel our school life holds much of interest for the type of boy we desire to serve. Gentle- manly conduct is at all times consistent with fun and good times. It is a pleasure to watch our boys develop socially during their years with us. Our cadets have been well trained in their homes, and they bring their training with them. As evidence of this, may we quote from two letters written to the school? A minister who had met many of our boys individually and had seen them in a group said: I have Visited 80? of all the schools in the South and East and I have never seen as clean a type or as high class looking crowd of boys anywhere as you have here. A famous lecturer spoke to our corps and on the next day wrote a letter from which we quote in part: 'Obey that Impulref a motto before me says. That is just what I am doing in writing you this letter. Ping-pong is lots of fun for two. 97 I was impressed at Greenbrier by the magnificent equipment, by your ideal location, but most of all by your students. Often the students are taking the attitude, 'Is the speaker making good with us? when they should be thinking, 'What sort of an impression are we making on him?' This extreme courtesy, politeness, and attention impressed me. 465 'f V in NNW Qf5.3.?g,-u H W A L5'.if.'if:f -' -1 , ' jg , f,,, M '--if A yt. sguggfizii-P 4- V 1 i .

And a Philosophy of Education as evolved and striven for by any school is ofttimes too deep or too dull to consider as contrasted with beautiful pictures of athletic or social events. Nevertheless, we believe the Philosophy of Education which follows will be read by you. It is evidence to those who are really interested that the faculty of Greenbrier, as well as the administra- tion, have considered long and earnestly the type of job that is theirs, and have concluded that in the best school there is more than meets the eye of the casual observer. The paper was written after hours of serious discussion by a special faculty committee, and adopted after comprehensive examina- tion by the faculty sitting as a Committee of the Whole. THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE GREENBRIER MILITARY SCHOOL KAdopted and subscribed to by the Administration and Facultyj Ami Jem: increased in wisdom and nature, and in favor with God and man. -LUKE 2 152. We interpret this to mean that education is the process of individual growth involving four essential factors: the intellectual, the physical, the spiritual, and the social. Intellectual We believe in the attainment of the full capabilities of the mind through the discipline and direction of the mental processes. All of a student's experiences are educative, and each student should, to the best of his ability, form an acquaintance with the chief areas of human knowledge and skills. These should be taught pleasantly, forcefully, and, if necessary, even forcibly. . The intellectual development of a student is conditioned upon the opportunity to and the environment for study. Believing that the faculty is the heart of the school, every effort should be made to obtain instructors who will both inspire and teach their pupils to reason logically and to act intelligently. Physical We believe in the ancient precept, A sound mind in a sound body. An educated man must understand the necessity for and the way to keep the human machine in good physical condition if he is to make full use of his abilities. Therefore both an understanding of the structure and character- istics of the body and the formation of good health habits are essential to a well rounded education. We believe that, especially in the formative years, this result is best accomplished through a combination of skillful teaching, a well planned daily routine, regular physical exercises, and super- vised play. Spiritual We believe in Christian education, in the inherent values of a spiritual emphasis on the edu- cation of a young man, without regard to man-made creeds or denominations. We feel he should know the finite and temporal and come into closer harmony with the infinite and eternal. A com- prehension of religion reveals the beauty and meaning of life. We think the Bible should be taught as living literature and the revealed word of God. Social We believe there is a definite connection between character development and formal educa- tion. A man must learn to obey before he is lit to command. The social phase of education involves a sense of responsibility to one's self and to his fellow men. A young man should develop a social outlook and a way of living that will lead to a satisfying and helpful relationship with others. We believe these four essential factors-the intellectual, the physical, the spiritual, and the social-are the foundation of a well-rounded education, and thus lead to the end product of all education, a satisfying life. 100 A P Visits PART VIII School-Patron Contracts, Costs and Gther Necessary Information h B ines: Office As Treasurer, Col. D. T. Moore has directed the affairs of the school since 1912. Before that he held a responsible position in bank- ing circles in Virginia. He brought to his work here a Hair for detail and a talent for organization in his chosen field which have resulted in a sound financial structure for Greenbrier. Col. Moore maintains a careful oversight on every phase of busi- ness connected with the school and is careful to see that our plant is kept clean and in good repair. Everything pertaining to finances in the school and the upkeep of the plant should be referred to him or to his assistant, Col. Rawl. COLONEL D. T. MOORE, LL. D.

In your reading and consideration of this Greenbrier catalogue you possibly have thought Well, that sounds fine-I wonder what is going to be the cost, This is an important consideration from the point of view of the patron as well as the school. At Greenbrier we have given this whole matter a great deal of thought. This school is a nonprofit institution and we have not had profit in mind over and above salaries for administrative and faculty officers and running expenses of the school. All funds beyond these costs are allocated to improved equipment and additions to the school plant. Naturally, funds must be suflicient to secure and maintain the highest type of personnel and equipment that Greenbrier may continue to be a school of which both you and we may be proud. We have held cost just as low as possible consistent with this highest type of service and personnel, We believe our patrons want to know the full cost and what it covers. There- fore, we have included board, tuition, athletic, medical, and similar fees found in most catalogues in our total so you do not have extra charges added to the total cost. The charge for laundry is twenty-five dollars C3l25.00D for each semester. In cases where boys send excessive amounts of laundry, average will be charged. The uniform question has been studied carefully and it has been our purpose to include every article with a view to comfort, service, and appearnce. You will readily agree that these uniforms are not an extra expense to you-they take the place of all other clothing and in the end will cost less than the boy's citizen clothing at home. Most boys need to purchase little or no uniform clothing the second year except possibly shoes and shirts. The deposit suggested for books is the estimated cost and this is adjusted at the close of each session. With the foregoing explanation as to why you will probably find costs at Greenbrier lower than other schools endeavoring to give the same high type service you will, we believe, realize that under existing conditions our rates and costs are very reasonable indeed.-D. T. M. THE COST TO PATRONS FOR FIRST YEAR ls approximately 5S1,700.00, divided as follows: Board and Tuition, full session .....,. .,...,... il 1,400.00 All Taxa: Pad.

We advise that it be deposited in the school bank to be drawn out as needed. The amount can not be estimated accurately here, as it depends very much on the habits of the boy before entering school and the wishes of his parents. If the money is handled through school authorities, a monthly statement will be furnished to the parents. The tuition or school fee of 31,400.00 provides for the following: Tuition and Living Expenses Use of Inlirmary and Common Medicine Services of Physician and Resident Nurse Athletic Dues and Use of Athletic Equipment Admission to All Athletic Contests on School Grounds Swimming Fees S Subscription to Annual and School Paper General Supervision and Diploma The uniform cost of 3230.00 covers: 1 Dress Blouse 1 Regulation Rain Coat 1 Overcoat 1 Gray V-Neck Sweater 2 Pairs Trousers 2 Gray Poplin Shirts 1 Dress Cap 1 Belt 1 Fatigue Over-Seas Cap 2 Black Ties 1 O.D.

A 105 r' MAJ. R. W. KEENE Director of Admissions OUR PERSONALIZED SERVICE PLAN Maj. R. W. Keene, our Director of Admissions, calls on many students and prospective students during the spring and summer months. He is here when the Fall Term opens and helps with the indoctrination of new cadets, seeing that they receive any personal attention which is required. His course in Public Speaking is for the purpose of teaching a student to organize his materials and present them orally in a forceful and pleasing manner. Every young man should be able to speak convincingly when occasion demands. It is designed to give a cadet confidence in himself and the ability to make known his ideas in a courteous and effective way. Each student would do well to make every effort to get into the class in Public Speaking during the year. During the second half of the year, Maj. Keene spends a number of week-ends visiting patents and friends of the school. He can answer questions about entrance requirements, the courses to select, finances, activities, and other matters in which patents and prospective students may be in- terested. Arrangements made by him concerning your son's matriculation as a Greenbrier student may be considered final without further confirmation by school authorities. 106 IMPORTANT TO APPLICANTS WHAT T0 BRING 1 foot locker trunk, 4 to 6 plain white shirts with collar attached, 6 suits of un- derwear, 8 pairs of socksk, 3 pairs of pajamas, 1 pair tennis shoes, 1 pair swimming trunks, 1 bathrobe, 1 pair bedroom slippers, 4 to 6 bath towels, 2 wash cloths, 1 pillow, 3 pillow cases, 3 pairs single bed sheets. At least two blankets, 2 laundry bags, handkerchiefs and toilet articles as desired. Optional: Shorts and 1 suit of play clothes or jeans. Small rug, curtains. 3' With high top regulation shoes any type socks may be worn. On occasions when low cut shoes may be authorized, black socks are required. If desired, one Greenbrier blanket may be obtained at reasonable cost after arrival at the school, All articles of clothing and equipment should be distinctly marked. Cadets who are careless with clothing and need additional equipment must have permission from parents before major purchases can be made. Cadets entering after October 10th are charged pro rata from date of entrance. New cadets entering in january will pay 13750.00 for board and tuition for the remainder of the session. When a student withdraws, or for any reason is dismissed by the school authorities before the session is out, no part of the fixed charges Will be refunded. Local students should call at the ofiice for rates for those not wanting to board in the school. A reduction is made to sons of ministers. A reduction is made when two students come the same session from one family. PART OF CONTRACT Enrollment-Application for admission should be made on the enclosed blank form and for- warded to the school Acceptance of any application is conditional upon personal interview or sub- mission of photograph of proposed cadet. If these conditions are not met, application and reserva- tion fee may be returned and all obligations of the school and applicant are canceled. A deposit of 5825 is required in order to have a room reserved, otherwise we cannot guarantee holding one for you. This deposit is not returned for any reason. Students are given preference in the choice of rooms according to order of enrollment. A good school must employ good teachers and they must be engaged for a full year's work. All other plans and expenditures are based on the scholastic year. Should a student leave before end of term he not only leaves a vacancy, but he has deprived us of the opportunity of filling the place for the year. Hence a student is enrolled for the entire session or remainder of session from date of entrance unless otherwise agreed. A school cannot be run on the credit system and all bills must be promptly met. If notihed before December 28th that boy will not return after Christmas holidays, the January payment may not be required. We can then secure another student to take his place. The medical fee included in the tuition charge, entitles the boy to the services of the school physician and to simple medicines. In cases of protracted illness, medical attention, employment of nurse, and at all times the purchases of medicine on prescription are at the expense of individual student, and such charges are not covered by this fee. 107 Students are responsible for all damage to school property or equipment. No deposit is required to cover this, but regular inspections are made and each boy is required to report the damage done by him. The cost for having same repaired must be met by the boy or his parents or guardian. Contract made with the laundry charges covers the cadet's rough laundry. Blankets, bathrobes, sweaters, and rugs must be paid for extra. All articles for the laundry should be distinctly marked. Laundry, books, and uniforms are by no means school charges. Students must have clothing in any school. The uniforms are made of the best heavy-grade l'Charlottesville Woolens. If one is careful, after the first year he does not need to buy the full outfit. In some cases boys make the uniforms last them for more than two sessions, and parts for a longer time. As soon as uniforms are issued, all cadets are expected to express citizen clothing of all kinds to their homes, as these are useless here and are not permitted to be kept in the school. No cadet will be ermitted to run credit accounts with the merchants in town except by written P permission from parent. Do not fail to instruct us in this matter. Boys having any physical or mental defect will not be received knowingly, and if sent, will either be returned at once or charges will be added according to amount of extra attention needed. Parents who enter their sons in this school necessarily agree to the conditions given in the catalogue, whether they have signed the formal application blank or not. A WORD WITH PARENTS Punctuality When your son is enrolled in Greenbrier, see that he arrives on time and always returns on time after vacation periods. If he misses school days other than those for which We have made proper provision, he is placed at a disadvantage because the class work must go on in his absence and he is necessarily held responsible for the work he missed. As a general thing, do not allow him to drop a subject unless we advise that this be done. A boy generally dislikes what he needs most. All such matters should be discussed in person or by correspondence with the proper officials before a patent decides that a boy should discontinue a certain class. Holldays A holiday of over two weeks is given at Christmas. We observe Thanksgiving Day in school and no cadets will be granted home leaves at this time, which comes just prior to fall examinations. No holiday is given for Easter. Leave for Sunday is granted only on special request of parents. Our regular Fall and Spring Leave periods give the cadet an opportunity to go home for a brief period without losing time needed for academic work. Your cooperation is asked in encouraging your son to obey all rules of the school and keeping in good spirits. Feel free at any time to write to any official or teacher about your son's progress. Loneliness A word about loneliness may be in order. Anyone may be lonesome, especially if he has never been away from home before, but a man can overcome this natural feeling of depression. We do everything we can to check the symptoms before they develop. We are sympathetic and under- standing, because we have dealt with boys for many years. You need have no worries about neglect or lack of help for your son. If your boy tells you he is lonely, he will get over it soon if you remain firm and do not give encouragement by permitting him to visit at home. 10 8 Letters Home Each cadet must write a letter home on Sunday. Always notify the superintendent if your boys do not write regularly and he will see that it is done. Don't give yourselves any uneasiness in regard to the health of your son. If sickness should occur, parents will be notified at once, and the boy will be taken to the infirmary. In case of serious illness, requiring special nursing, the parent will bear the extra expense. You will confer a favor on us by informing the superintendent when for any cause your son has become discontented, you will advance the best interests of the pupil and the school by so doing. Most unhappiness is caused by imagined grievances. It is only fair that these be brought to our notice, so that they may be overcome or corrected. Importance of Deposit Please send tuition charge and expense money in at the beginning of school. The amount required is stated in catalogue. Should you send too much, any balance will be returned. No student will be retained in the school unless financial arrangements are made at once. The business manager cannot advance money for books and incidentals. A deposit should be made at the beginning of the session, and should the whole amount not be used, the remainder will be returned. A deposit should be made at the beginning of the session, and should the whole amount not be used, the remainder will be returned. School Bank To take care of the weekly allowance, cleaning and pressing and haircuts, money should be deposited in the school bank, which is under the control and management of Col. W. A. Rawl, as- sistant treasurer. By placing money in this bank, danger of loss by theft or otherwise is taken away and also useless spending is avoided. Checks payable only at this bank are used. Banking hours are held one day a week at a published time. We advise parents or guardians to use this method of furnish- ing money regularly to their sons or wards. Allowance We advise that a boy not be given too much spending money and that under no circumstances should he run credit accounts at the stores in town. Parents desiring this must make request to local merchant by letter, but we strongly advise against its practice. Necessary accounts for medicines are sent in at once and should be paid promptly. Leave of Absence Leave of absence, if necessary, can be granted only at the request of parents or guardian and such request must be sent direct to the superintendent, and not through a student. During the last month leave can be granted only in case of absolute necessity, and under no consideration should a student fail to stand the final examinations. The commencement exercises are an important part of the school and students are not permitted to leave before closing day. Smoking Rule Parents sometimes ask about our rule in regard to the use of tobacco. In answer we will say that, as far as possible, we discourage the use of tobacco by our students, but unless parents order otherwise we allow boys to smoke in moderation in their rooms. 109 Schools can not keep boys from smoking, no matter how stringent the rules, how diligent their efforts, or how persuasive their arguments against it. If parents can not do it with one or two boys, schools can not be expected to do it with their many students, and we do not believe that those schools which promise to do so can make good such promises. Be assured, however, that we discourage the use of tobacco in every way we can. Laundry The proper handling of the laundry for a school is no small task. Boys are careless both in sending out and in listing their own laundry and checking it on its return. It is sent out on Monday morning. At laundry call each cadet must report with laundry bag containing his soiled clothes, properly listed. A cadet necessarily absent must send bag by his roommate. Money for articles lost by laundry can be collected provided a cadet has made out a proper laundry list. Otherwise it is almost impossible to collect these bills. Laundry is returned on Friday evening and distributed at once. uartermaster,s Department The school runs its own barber shop, stationery and notion store, lunch counter, and cleaning and pressing shop, all under the charge of a competent man and his wife who live in the school building. Money for these necessities can also be placed in the school bank and a parent can be assured money is properly spent. Any profits from these enterprises are used for the benefit of athletics. Radios Radios are permitted in rooms of cadets on payment of 31.00 per month. These must not be used after taps at night or during study hours. If a cadet is caught using a radio against regulations, the privilege is withdrawn and the radio must be turned in at the office and remain during the remainder of the session. TV sets are not permitted. Cadets may view the TV ser in the student lounge during oli hours.

We are proud of our alumni. They have become splendid citizens of their own com- munities. Some are in military service. Many, of course, have risen to high oflice in the alfairs of their cities, states, our nation. We are always glad to hear from them and and to have them visit us. Once a boy joins The Great Greenbrier Family, our interest in him never dies. We proudly believe this interest is reciprocal.

ZARAK, JUAN VVHAT PARENTS, ALUMNI AND OTHERS SAY The following extracts, taken from private letters and published in most cases without the knowledge of the writers, should be valuable in showing appreciation of our work. We have used only a few of the many such expressions we have in our files. FROM A FRIENDLY OBSERVER I have been intending for some time to compliment you on the conduct of the students from your school, but not having seen you I will write. It is a real pleasure to come in contact with these gentlemanly fellows wearing the uniform of your school and for years past I have noticed their genteel manner and I think you ought to know how they conduct themselves when in contact with the public. Of course you are familiar with the tradi- tional comment that a bunch of school boys out for fun are not always careful of the feelings or thoughts that they might arouse in the minds of the public, but not so these students from your school, as I have always found them very courteous and well behaved. You should, and no doubt do, feel proud of the student body and rightfully so since the organiza- tion at the helm, so to speak, is responsible for the above mentioned conduct, but it is so seldom that you can be brought to see the value of these things and I think you and your organization are to be highly complimented on the uniform results you have obtained. - DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY Davidson College Davidson. N. C. I take pleasure in saying that Greenbrier Military School is in my opinion one of the very best schools for boys in the country. The climate in the highlands of West Virginia is unsurpassed, for it is generally known that the highest type of Americans has been found in East Tennessee, North Georgia, and the Highland of West Virginia. , The buildings are commodious and well suited to the needs of such a school. The management is in the hands of capable, enthusiastic and successful men. The Boarding Department is the best I have ever known in a school for boys. The Faculty is composed of the best men that can be selected from our Christian Colleges and judging their work by the preparation of the students sent to our college, it must be of the highest sort. The discipline has for years been recognized as Hrm, but fair, wise and efficient. Respectfully, - FROM A COLLEGE STUDENT We are going to send my kid brother down to Greenbrier this fall, so will you please send me application blank for him-the one in the catalogue has either been lost or mislaid. I am coming down for a few days visit before I go away to College for I certainly do miss my school and friends. Greenbrier did more for me than anything I know. Lehigh accepted me without exams in everything except Trig., which I did not finish at G. M. S., and it will only take a little re- view to pass that, so I expect to enter there in the fall. Bridwell is also going to Lehigh. I am afraid that I must make this short, but will see you all when school opens. Remember me to Mrs. Moore and your brothers and sisters. - FROM THE DEAN OF A FAMOUS UNIVERSITY Dear Colonel Moore: 'F if 'l' These fellows you have been sending down here are princely fellows. They take the place of leadership on the Campus and in the class room. In my opinion GREENBRIER is superior to any other preparatory school I know anything about, and you are turning out high type men. Write me whenever I can serve you. With every good wish- FROM AN ATTORNEY-AT-LAW I have always felt that my education at Greenbrier furnished the basic foundation for my later education both in college and in the military and feel that the training I received there was of the utmost benefit to me. I shall be most happy to recommend any worthy young man of my acquaintance to Greenbrier and shall be glad to give anyone you may refer to me information concerning the school. I send every wish for your future success. 116 WHAT PARENTS, ALUMNI AND OTHERS SAY-CContinuedj FROM ANOTHER ATTORNEY Please feel free- to call on me at any time for whatever assistance I may be to you, since I am still as much interested in the progress of Greenbrier as I was during my cadet days. I have, in the past, recommended the school to several cadets who made good records there, and it is my fond hope that some day you will have my three sons in attendance. I look back on my experiences with fond memories and I sincerely believe that whatever progress or success I may eventually make will be due in large part to the basic training at your hands. I could not recommend too strongly to any boy that he take advantage of an opportunity to be- come associated with Greenbrier . . . - FROM THE MOTHER OF A RECENT GRADUATE I am quite proud and happy, of course, and want again to express my deep and heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for all that Greenbrier has done for him, and meant to him. The interest and sympathetic understanding, as well as the inspiration, that he has received from your faculty and officers have been one of the biggest influences in his life, I am sure, if not the biggest. As I have said on many occasions, I think that the two most important things that Greenbrier does, in my humble opinion, are these: First-you teach a boy how to study. Second-you cultivate and develop in a boy the desire to excel. To me these are of paramount importance-and you do them well, in addition to many other things, not the least of which is helping him establish a code of living for a useful, Christian life. SQL for all that Greenbrier has done for him, I sincerely say from the bottom of my heart- Than s. - FROM A YOUNG CHEMIST First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to express to you my sincere gratitude for the wonderful training and background which I received While attending GMS. I know from my own experience that Greenbrier offers the type of training and building of men that every parent would want for his son. As you know, I am married and employed as a chemist at the B. F. Goodrich Company in Akron, Ohio. I have had little opportunity to return but am planning a visit . . . this spring. I am looking forward to seeing you and visiting GMS. - FROM A TELEVISION DIRECTOR AT SUNSET AND VINE, LOS ANGELES I am sure that you know that if I were to speak for days at a time I could never finish praising Greenbrier and the educational, military, physical and leadership qualities that become a way of life with members of the cadet corps. The days I spent as a member of the corps are golden years to be forever treasured. My educational background at Greenbrier has been a very important factor in my success in the television industry. Too, I think it is a real tribute to your excellent faculty to say that the lessons taught at GMS have had working application and the drill sessions, Chapel periods, sports and cadet life in general is the finest preparation a boy can have no matter what profession he may follow .... I am looking forward to the day when my sons will be attending Greenbrier for the most important years of their lives .... Sorry that I have been away from the campus for so long, but my work has kept me in the far west the majority of the time. I have enjoyed following the success of my classmates through the excellent Alumni Record and the letters of the Alumni Secretary .... Give my regards to the faculty and be sure that I stand ready to help Greenbrier in any way possible. 1 - FROM A NATIONALLY KNOWN KENTUCKY LANDOWNER AND HORSEMAN I just received your letter which was forwarded to me here in Florida, and I was so glad to hear from you . . . I have a soft place in my heart for Greenbrier as I spent many years there. I have often wanted to run over and say hello when I have been in White Sulphur Springs but it has always been in the summer and I knew that you all were busy with camp .... If we get up there in the fall I will run over and say hello . . . Give my love . . . and best wishes to everyone. ll'7 WHAT PARENTS, ALUMNI AND OTHERS SAY-CContinuedj FROM A UNITED STATES SENATOR I can genuinely endorse your school, as I have on many occasions. The years that two of my boys attended Greenbrier were undoubtedly of great benefit to them. I hope that you have been well and whenever you feel that I can be of service to you, I want you to call upon me. I send kindest regards to you and all the members of your family. l- - FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR OF A METROPOLITAN DAILY Dear Cap'n Joe : You see, I am afraid I must dernote you and call you by the title familiar so many years ago. 'But, by any name, and at any time, I am ready to help in any way I can. It is a real privilege to be listed among the references for Greenbrier. As I have said in the past, I still think that my days at Greenbrier meant more to me than either high school or college. Measured by any standard, academic, military or character-building, Greenbrier is right at the top. I have been pleased to help a bit in the past, advising boys about Greenbrier. One of the boys you have there now . . . So, really, in listing me as a reference you're just making official what al- ready was being done. My very best to all the Greenbrier family. - FROM A SUCCESSFUL ARCHITECT AND DESIGNER Your selecting my name to be placed on the reference list for the current catalog was indeed a pleasant surprise . . . Unfortunately, I have been unable to visit you for a number of years . . . I am in the architectural and structural design field as well as of construction, all of which is most in- teresting and enjoyable .... The family and I are looking forward to visiting you at the first opportunity . . .

A 10W discount is given to preachers and teachers at the elementary and high school level, and Army and Naval officers. Ten percent dis- count is allowed for two from same family. This pays for board, quarters, camp medical attention, instruction in the various activities, use of horse for riding and ammunition for rifle practice. We will accept a limited number of campers for half-term periods. The first term is from June 23rd to july 16th, the second term from july 18th to August llth. The fee for these half terms is 325500, plus state tax and there are no extras whatever except for tutoring, music and materials the boy may wish to pur- chase for use in the crafts. Special prescriptions Chnlfracfa and hospital service, if needed, are paid for by the patron. No refunds are made for withdrawal or dis- missal. Should we have a vacancy a boy may enter at any time for the remainder of the term and charges will be prorated, but places cannot be held for late entrance. Parents who have a boy enrolled in camp may replace him at any time by a second boy, without extra charge. The substituted boy may be either their own son or the son of a friend. Tutoring which is done by Greenbrier Military School in its summer term is 3350.00 for one class. This is a special price to campers. Our only requirement in the way of a uniform is four monogramed polo shirts which can be bought at camp. For catalog and complete information write to Director, Camp Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca, Lewisburg, W.

A, -,Q -v - Q' 3' ,sf - ,.,,a MODERN OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL AT CAMP SHAW-MI-DEL-ECA WATER SPORTS Special emphasis is placed on techniques and improvement of form in both swimming and div- ing. There are two swimming periods each day, the morning period being devoted to instruction. At these periods and at all other times when the boys are in the pool, they are closely supervised by life guards using the Buddy System. A complete chart is kept on the progress of each boy in swimming and diving. This shows the degree of his skill at the beginning of camp, and records each advance that he makes. As he progresses from one group to the next he is awarded embroidered felt emblems symbolizing his advance, and all effort is made to arouse every camper's enthusiasm toward improving his technique and proficiency. While we formerly used the river for swimming, in keeping with our constant effort to offer the best at Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca we constructed a modern outdoor swimming pool in the spring of 1954. This 40 X 80 foot pool has the most up-to-date filtration system available to insure the absolute purity of the water at all times. Thus we are able to know that the water in which our campers are swimming is always safe, and at the same time our swimming program is not curtailed at times by high or low water, as is the case when using the river for swimming. We believe that this addition to our camp gives us unsurpassed facilities for all our water sports. Derigned and Printed by Jarrett Prmting Company Clmrlexton, Wert Virginia
