OREWORD The Civil War left America with a legend and a haunting memory . . . People clung to the memory of what was gone . . . they put a strange gloss of romance on what they saw, cherishing the haunted overtones it had left . . . finally, there was the simple memory of personal valor-the enduring reali- zation that when the great challenge comes, the most ordinary people can show that they value something more than they value their own lives. Wheii the last of the veterans had gone, and the sorrows and bitterness which the war had created had at last worn away, this memory remained. The men who fought in the Civil War, speaking for all Americans, had said something the country could never forget. -BRUCE CATTON, A Sonnd of Distant Drnmf' Once divided, now anited-we paare to pay homage to and to commemo- rate the great deedr of great men af we point oat with admiration and thank- fzdnerr oar Jhare in the new national nnity and rtrength that grew ont of division and Jafferingf' The 1961 annual staff offers you, in pictures and text, the story of our year at Greenbrier, combined with a review of the days when men fought in The War Between the Statesl'-our Civil War Centennial issue of The Brier Patch.

It is often a thankless task, requiring tact, understanding, and forcefulness. Here at Greenbrier this duty often falls to our assistant commandant. In addition, he is a regular instructor in the Mathematics Department and he takes a personal as well as an official interest in the problems of our junior School cadets. ff' . E23 n K Y' - .
