Mr. Al Baumann The years may come and the years may go, but that man goes on forever' That seems to be the consensus of opinion today among St. John's Old Boys, who, upon returning to the Quadrangle, discover that the friendly, portly merchant behind the Cadet Store counter is still their old favorite, Al Baumann. World War I ,... the Great Depression of '29 ,... and World War II have come and gone during the genial storekeeper's 45 years of faithful service to the Academy. Nigh unto 5,000 cadets have graduated since he first came to St. John's. To each and everyone of them, he is affectionately known as Al, and rightfully so. Appropriately enough, as St. John's celebrates its Diamond Jubilee, Al Baumann observes his 75th birthday anniversary. Born April 18, 1885, in the Town of Delafield, he takes great pride in the fact that he is a true, native son of this picturesque area. Never in the habit nor in the mood to reflect upon the past, he envisions only a more pleasant future. Like the carefree cadets with whom he daily chides and kibitzes, he too maintains a fairly regular routine of daily living, interspersed, however, only with a bit of card playing or perhaps an occasional dinner with friends at a neighboring inn. To him, life is grand. Practicing that which he believes, this 32nd Degree Mason and Episcopal vestryman has found a niche in the hearts of countless cadets. His old-fashioned kindliness and joviality, his friendly slap on the back, his common sense philosophy of living has helped many a struggling cadet over seemingly insurmountable obstacles on the way to a much more pleasant life at St. J ohn's. In recognition of his 45 years of faithful service to our alma mater and in appreciation of the many kindnesses he has shown us and those cadets before us, we, the Class of 1960, do dedicate this publication to one of the most popular and most friendly campus personalities, Mr. Al Baumann. 3
