Lcwer right: Mac Wenskunis, football captain of the University of lllinois Gridiron Champs, and Bill Rice, Membership Secretary for the Alumni Association cf the U. of lll., are welcomed by Bob, who greets all celebrities who visit us in assembly. With this practice in hand-shaking, Durham should make a good politician. Bob Durham, along with Frank Wendryhoski, made the first all-star tournament team at Iohnston City. Bob was one of the l4,UO0 boys in the United States to pass the Navy College Aptitude Test, which makes him a student under the new NROTC plan. A singer, as well as an athlete, Bob was cast as the Mikado in the production of the Gilbert and Sulli- van liqht opera, Mikado, which was produced by the entire vocal music department under the direction of Mr. Franklyn Letvevre, with Miss Ioanna Webb as accompanist.
