AUSTIN A. ALLEN, Joplin, Mo. JR. Entered Sept. 1921. Corporal 1923-24. Band 1922-23-24. Orchestra 1922-23-24. Red Club 1923-24. Allen is a quiet fellow, who doesn’t advertise him- self very much. Yet, should not say that he has the “knack” of sticking to things until he gets what- ever he wants. His talent and mood have found the clarinet to be the best avenue of expression. A man, who in spite of all that have said may be called one who ‘ ‘ toots his own horn. ’ ’ EVERETT BLOSSAR Carthage, Missouri. Entered Sept. 1923. Rinkevdink Football 1923. Blue Club 1923-24. Second Platoon. This man who hails from the State of Missouri has been with us for one year. During this time he has been very reliable in all of his academic duties. To him the duty of friendship is a serious thing. Good luck to you. May the years to come let us meet you again. OTTO AUGUST BOSS Monett, Mo. Entered 1920. Re-entered 1923. Graduated Feb. 1924. First Football 1923. Blue Club 1923-24. To Boss we extend the right hand of fellowship — he returned to us but graduated or finished his work a semester ahead of us. In the short time that he was with us we learned to know him as a first-rate chap. Somehow his stay seemed every bit too short. In June when he returns for his “sheep-skin” we shall renew friendships and pledge anew the bond for the future. Page T aenly-seven

GEORGE J. ALBIEZ Chicago Illinois. Entered Sept. 1920. Upper Ten 1922-23. Corporal 1922-23. Sergeant 1923-24. Shrapnel Staff 1923. Another small man who has proved that the old adage “that great expectations are done up in small packages.” Some have hinted that Albiez is to become one of the great pugilists of the world. But, more than likely, he will become a captain of finance. Page Trventy-six JACK ABRAHAM, 4 A, AA Bristow, Oklahoma. Entered Sept. 1919. Member Shrapnel Staff 1923. Member Recall Staff 1924. Vice-President Senior Class 1923. Handball 1923. Corporal 1922-23. Field Music 1922. “Little Abe” has become part of the great sur- roundings. It is difficult to imagine ourselves bidding him good-bye, for Abe has been with us for many years. JOHN EDWARD ALEXANDER Chicago, Illinois. Entered Sept. 1923. Member of “A” Company. Member of the Red Club. Alexander, another one of the Chicago group, has demonstrated to us that he is a fitting find for the Class of ’24. In the short time that he has been with us, we have found him to be a willing and steady worker.

JACK BRADLEY, A K2 Paducah, Kentucky. Entered Sept. 1920. Upper Ten 1921-22. Glee Club 1920. Hiking Club 1923. Radio Club 1923. Second Baseball 1922-23. Field Music 1920. Sergeant 1922-23-24. One Pounders 1920-21-22-23-24. Member Red Club. Jack is one of the boys of the old school. Hailing from the Blue Grass state where fast horses. — and — are to be found. Jack has brought with him the south- ern loyalty, true friendship, and sterling honesty. GEORGE E. BRANNAN Chicago, III. Entered Sept. 1923. Shrapnel Staff 1923-24. “A” Company. Red Club. Brannan is another Chicago boy who has chosen Western as “his school.’’ During his short stay at our school we have learned to know a good pal. May J. WILLOUGHBY BROOKS, AA Newton, Illinois. Entered Sept. 1922. Basketball 1923-24. Tennis 1923-24. Second Baseball 1923. Track 1924. Glee Club 1923-24. Shrapnel Staff 1923-24. Senior Stunt 1924. Sergeant 2nd Platoon “B” Co. Since Bobbie ’s entrance thru the old stone gateway, he has been busy making a name for himself. In his Senior year lie not only carried his extra work, but played on the different teams, wrote for the Shrapnel, and sang with the Glee Club. His success in the battle of life should be easily won. Here is our hand, old pal, shake. Page T nenly-cight
