Above-Students spent many pleasant hours here with their studies between classes. Right-Co-captains Willard Price i241 and Willie Watson l50j lead the 1952 Hilltopper football team onto the field before one ofthe home games. Price was a 6'0 ,195- - pound tackle from Louisville. Watson, a Princeton native, was a 155-pound halfback. Western's future will be built from the present as the present has been built on the past. There is a little of the old in everything new. Since 1924 the student body at Western Kentucky University has received a Talisman every spring. Most have never realized the long hours and the dedication that have gone into each publication. The little of the old section presents highlights through the five decades of the Tolismon's growth. The past half-century has seen Western grow in many ways. The 1973 Talisman mirrors these changes, yet presents Western Kentucky University as it is today. Z Table of Contents At the right is a perspective, showing the proposed plant of the Western Kentucky State Teachers College, which was visualized and drawn before a single building was constructed. Below-The period of comparatively quiet but rapid growth and advancement which Western State Normal School had enjoyed since its removal to the Hill in 1911 was rudely interrupted in the spring of 1917 by the entrance of the United States into World War I. Within a few days after the United States had entered the War, many of the Western students volunteered for service in the army. For the year 1917-18 the number of men enrolled in Western was 264, only Z1 per cent of the enrollment.
