It lias introduced at Western a high standing of morale which has taught the “plebe” as well the old man the realization of the necessity of a higher standard of true Western Spirit. It also has done much in the helping of new men to learn the real meaning of being a Western Cadet and also that he may carry that feeling later on life ' s pathway. A few men who deserve honorable mention for their part in making this class of ’24-’25 a success, are: Martin, Ilarral, Channel , Torres, A., and Neill.

Wyatt who has been hero five years ago and come back in ’25, has made many friends since his short stay at Western. Page Fifty-one The Class of 1926 The Juniors TXT EVER before in the history of the school have we had such a brilliant 1 1 Junior Class as we have this year. In fact we should say that never before has the honor roll for scholastic attainment contained such a galaxy of stars from the junior class. Well listen! Just think that, of the eleven men having the highest averages for the first twelve weeks, seven were Juniors. Such names as Magee, Albrecht, Nolte, Porter, Boley, Sanies, and Brownell, go to make up the seven letters in the word — S-C-II-O-L-A-R. Yet one must not think that Ihe class is destitute of other merits. In athletics, we have had Murphy, Flynn, Magee, Yiviano, and McCormick. Military proficiency is also upheld by such men as Sergeants Magee, Julier, MacDonald, Yiviano, and Corporals Smith, G., Wolchansky, II., Valentine, Winter, Poos, Gregory, F., Matthews, Flynn, Murphy, Nolte, McCormick. These are only a few of the many accomplishments of this distinctive class whose work it is to carry on the work of Senior Dignity. But the Class of 1925 does not feel the least worried, because the Juniors have been too responsive to all our requests. Tile Class of 1925 congratulates you and wishes you Banner Success in the year — and, may we add — in the years to come.

There ’s Markham — the man of brains — who goes about tooting his own horn (but be not misled, because Markham is one of our distinguished band members as well as a student). Then too, there ' s Kahl — who manages to tickle both the text books and the ivories. Of course, at the mention of the ivories we must not forget Washburn. Well he just says it with music — and lets the rest of the world go by. Now as to athletic material, (’apt. Garetson and Holmes, we can recom- mend Frisco Francisco — the boy with the golden personality. Then too, ( andy, olchansky, R., Gilmore, and Blake must not be overlooked as reserves for athletic timber. And there are many other whose light is still under a bushel but who will soon give promise of greater things.

Tail oaks from little acorns grow. ” 1 8 the thought that passes thru my mind as I look over the Freshmen Class roster. Then I recall the days — those trying days of my debut in the great world of the higher school — days which 1 believe are the hardest and most sensitive in the boys life. Somehow it is a new atmosphere in which the young- ster finds himself as be leaves the ordinary grammar school and goes into the high school. New subjects, new ideas, new methods of teaching, and new as- sociations are things which may either hinder or advance the progress of the student. But at Western this evil has been almost eliminated. The principal reason may be attributed to the individual instruction given to the students here that is not possible in a public school. And thus it is that we, as Seniors, pride our- selves on introducing to you our Great Expectations — the Class of 1928. Borden and DeMint have both received recognition in military work. Spencer has made a “plunge” into the tank of Aquatics and may be said to “be in the swim.” Lane. Mantz, Jarmin, Watson, and Derris, have brought joy to athletic coach and glory to the Rinkeydink Team. Well what more do you want?

Well, well, by that time — lets see — Marks, Light, and Fleischman will be, as now, competing for the first place on the Lpper Ten. “Duke Slater will be a drum major, by virtue of his present day command of the field music. .Jacobs, M. will be the high point winner in the swimming meets. Crutcher, the Aide to Major Walker, will rule ‘D Barracks with an iron hand. And so it goes as time passes on. So fellow Cadets we leave the great future of Western in your hands.

Schneider Ericson Lopez Sherwood, A. Fleishman Marks Smith, F. Hannon Mettler Slater Sixfy-thres Page Sixty-fn e Football Team Donnelly, J. “Jeff” Quarterback. The brains and held strategist of a successful team. He could always be depended upon. By his tricks he always gained that extra yard or two. The man who downed forward passes unerringly. (’apt. Ladd “Stoneface” Tackle. A captain who is worthy of un- limited support. A man always playing hard and ag gressive. Iiis work was always of the same steady dependable type. This senior will always be remembered for his true brand of good sportmanship. Boggiano “Boggie” Tackle. The most aggressive piayer seen at Western for a long while. He was always in the play no matter where it was, either offensive or defensive. A letter man and senior will be lost in this star. Donnelly, R. “Dick Half back. He was the man who could be depended upon to carry the ball around right, end for a gain. ' His speciality was the driving line plunges that never failed to put the ball ahead. I’agf Sixt -six Football Team Fi.ynn Frantz Murphy .) OH NSTON Porky Fullback. Flynn is the man who made his own holes if they were not already made. He was rarely thrown for a loss in his winning line plunges. He drives so hard that it always took the secondary defense to stop him. He made K. C. famous. Tubby Guard. A large man, on defense made center rushes a loss and offense a gain. He never failed to completely smother a play through the line. He was the keystone in the famous charging line, because his whole heart was always known to be in the game. Ole Murph Center. He always centered the ball with the same accuracy no matter whether he was losing or not. He stopped rushes that seemed certain gain for the opponent. Great things will be entered about “Ole Murph” next year. Dick Guard. A letter man who always was in the play with his drive that meant so much to the team. He was always on his game with that same old fight that turned de- feat into victory. P uf e Sixip-scVcn Football Team Edwards Martini: . Martin Kearns “G. W” End. The fellow who was always present Avhen- ever he was needed and after the dust had cleared lie was invariably found wrapped around li is opponents legs. George Avas equally valuable on the offense, giving the enemy on his side of the line a constant battle. We are all very sorry this is G W’s last year. “Mex” End. Mex could always be counted on to catch a pass, the receiver of many a gaining pass. Mex never failed to get an end run, or be under a punt, no matter how wide or far. Mex had the knack of staying in front of a play and thus accounted for many losses. “Mack” End. Although he was by far the smallest man on the team, he was not handicapped by size. He was in every play whether offensive or defensive, lie was a terror at dropping an attempted run back of a punt. The opponent always wanted to get number six. “Bun” End. Although Bun only played in two or three games he gave a wonderful account of himself. Injuries kept him from playing his last year’s position. Page Sixiy-eiglil Weinert Torres, K. Torres, A. Watkins “lied ' — Halfback. Red made a name for himself in the Principia game that will last a long time at Western. He played good football until injuries prevented his playing. A senior, we may lose but not forget. “E — Halfback . When times arose for a fleet footed halfback to be stopped, Torres broke through and nailed him, if a punt need be rushed he was through to muss it up. He will be a big factor in next year’s team. Angel --Halfback. The fastest man on the team and the most consistent passer in our back field. To Angel goes the credit of having been the biggest scoring factor. Al- though a marked man. he was called upon for gains, and never failed. Dick — Halfback. Dick showed up exceptionally well in the Mt. Olive game. Ilis usefulness was in his speed and the way he picked his holes. He was the only new man who made his letter in football. Page Sixt )-n!ne Football TO OUR COACH To Coach Garetson goes the honor of a successful team. He led us un- tiringly and with the greatest possible skill.

MANUEL MARTINEZ— Center “Rig Mex,” the only survivor of last years championship team, was the nucleus of this year’s quintet.

GRAY MAGEE — Left Forward This year Capt. Holmes developed a high point man in ole “Maggy. Yes he was the scoring power of Westerns team. Magee usually came through with a couple of baskets when needed. A steady and clever player who will return next year. CHARLIE LAMER — Right Forward Charlie was the hardest player on the team. Whether in play or in practice he gave all he had for the team, coach, and school. lie will be remembered for his work against Alton this year. C. ANDERSON— Right Forward With Lamer out of the game with a bad knee ( ' apt. Holmes looked about for his successor. In Anderson he found a “Handy Andy, as it was lie who scalped Country Day for us. Andy is just a Frcshie. He will he with us for three more years. PRESTON LAMPTON— Left Guard Remember the good guarding you saw against Principia up here? Well that was “Lamps” first basketball game. Yes, Lamp is playing his first basketball for the Red and Blue this year. He has done well. He will play his second next year. BILL FRANCISCO— Right Guard ’Cisco was the smallest man on the team, hut don ' t think that that kept him from getting the jolts. He was always in the midst of the fight. His Guarding, shooting and general work gives him promise of a great future. A Sophomore. Page Sevenl }-lT o BOB NEILL — Left Forward “Nellie” was one of the best “pepper” men on the team. He helped revive our spirits when we were losing and always managed to make a few points. Thanks to Nellie for his good work. We regret that he will not be with us next year. EARL CANDY — Center ( and} ' ably performed at center position in the Prep. League games in which “Big Mex couldn t participate. 1 1 is work on foreign floors made him a dependable man.

Greenberg a new man, will go out for the 100 yd. dash, and 220 yd. dash. Having been a letter man on his home team of “Springfield High School,’’ we hope to see him do as good if not better, work — this year at Western. No doubt we are well familar with “Chic Channel 1 ’’ a letter man of last year, and know he will produce the “goods” in the mile and half mile run. Valentine also has been keeping in training and he also will run the mile, and 440 yd. dash. Conrad, another “old man” from last year is to compete also in the 100 yd. dash. We expect great work from him. “Dick Watkins” our new future “hurdler” and also a great asset to the team. Other men who have been with us the past few years and will try their skill at track, are : Candy _ High Jump Levi _ _ Shot Put Edwards High Jump Nelson Pole Vault Duffin Mile Run Stein Levitt - Mile Run Setz _ - _ i 2 Mile Page Seventy-four Base Ball Prospects T IIH prospects for a very successful team are backed up by only two letter men. Torres and Korach are the available letter men in whom Capt. Holmes will have to build a team. Our first game with Blackburn shows that we are very far advanced- for a newly assembled team. We have not what can be called a green team because most of these men are men of experience to be trained into a winning team. Capt. Holmes has always been looked to, when a winning team is to be assembled. On the diamond our team looks like a crew of batting stars in mid-season form. 1 lie corn is behind our team because we feel certain the team will plug themselves to victory and eventually the Preparatory School League champion- ship. Last year our baseball team had one of the most successful seasons the school has ever enjoyed. Our victory over Concordia and other old rivals spurred our team on to victory after victory.

The following men are the most likely : Sherwood, Palmer, Lance, Lane, Poos, Krauss, and Dubinsky for the hack field. For the line — Caldwell, McCord, Wenom, Blosser, Mantz, DeMint, Jarmin, Watson, and Derris. Poos at fullback will probably be the main stay of the team. Lance and Dubinsky are fighting for quarter, with Lance having the edge. Lane and Krauss make a very good pair of halves but Sherwood and Palmer are fast and promising. Blosser and Mantz at ends are doing fine. Blosser is the surest defensive player on the team. The team as a whole is more promising than last year, and if all these men hit their stride we can expect them to do great things against Principia. LOSE HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE TO ALTON SECONDS, 13-6. The first appearance of our well famed Rinkydinks was at Sportsman ' s Park in the vicinity of Lower Alton. This being their first game away from home, they were a bit rattled and were not able to get started until the last quarter, but it was too late. The game was supposed to have been scheduled for the Alton fourth team, but through some misunderstanding the Alton Second team sprung up as their opponents. But the Dinks didn’t even think of calling off the game. WESTERN RIXKIES WIN FROM ST. LOUIS MINNOWS, 6-0. In a hard-fought game the Rinkydinks proved themselves a better team than the strong St. Louis team, but only determination and grit beat their opponents. In the first half the teams seemed pretty well on the level, neither team gaining much ground, though, by an exchange of punts, Poos outpunted his rival. In the third quarter Graves and Andy Palmer cut loose for long runs which wound up with Western going over for their lonely touchdown. The St. Louis outfit threatened the Rinky goal, but the Rinkies managed to get out of the hole. Golf Team With three veterans of the 1924 squad back and prospects of new and promising material, the 192;j team gives promise of playing up well among the other teams. Wannamaker, Channer, and Sherwood are men who have been tried and found to qualify. Possibly the new addition to the team will be Russy Brown, a newcomer and a Senior. So in its second year as a minor sport, golf has gained many interested supporters and has assured its place in athletics at Western. The Schedule, as yet not completed includes games with Principia, Country Day, and Cleveland High School.

Heretofore the tank has been looked upon as a good place to enjoy a rainy afternoon but this year has told a different story ; the fellows have apparently had an attack of “water on the brain’’ and swimming has reaped many honors as a result. The pool has taken on a more business like aspect than in preceding year and we have witnessed many exciting water battles there. Although the team has lost most of its meets it lias the consolation of knowing that it contested with teams that as far the “Dope Book’’ is concerned, should have outclassed them considerably. This may be accounted for in the fact that this branch of athletics is comparatively new in this part of the country, and those few schools that do have swimming teams only have them on account of the great, number of students on which they may draw for material. But Coach Garetson has done admirably from the standpoint of his raw material, and out of the approximate two hundred seventy -five boys he has turned out a team that has at least swum the game individually and have placed many honors to the school’s credit. One of t lie beacon lights in the records of this season’s team which shall challenge the teams in future years took place in our meet with Washington University when Jeff Donnelly, who has frequently been named as Western’s “speed merchant” glided down the water course for two first places, one in the forty yard free style dash and the other in the hundred yard back stroke. In the same meet Harral gained a victory in the fancy diving against the two Washington contestants and Spencer plunged the sixty foot length of the pool for first place over the university natators.

The line was about as straight as a corkscrew. No one ever thought that such a looking hi nt h of rookies would ever amount to anything, much less be able to put on a snappy drill. But here, as is often the ease, looks were deceiving. With the faithful leadership of Lieutenants Dunham, Martin, and Ladd, and the loyalty and cooperation of the noneoms and the privates, the First Platoon has turned out to be a first rate organization. Everyone in the platoon has by this time become so interested in his platoon and in it’s work that that last “Dismissed!” won’t be as joyous as it is talked up to be. Roster Lieut Asst.

Harral as leader and Lt. Franz as assistant the Second Platoon lias marched on to a glorious victory. It started out at the first of the year rather slow and didn ' t show much chance of success. Hut, as in the case of a strong man, when it once begins to apply it’s power, nothing can stop it. That is the reason why this platoon has done as well as it has. The most noticeable feature was that all the men worked in unison, — the first essential of success. The Second has, besides Timerman, some other very prominent men in military accomplishments. Holmes for one has done exceptionally good shoot- ing this year and has earned a Sharpshooter medal. Others are Kahl, who won the manual-of-arms com petition for the new men, and Kulis, who won the same for the old men. To make a long story short every man in the Second Platoon means business, and there isn ' t one who wouldn’t do anything in his power to raise it’s standing. Roster PI. Leader . . . Adjutant Asst.

They have worked hard and faithfully at their task and have finally succeeded with the aid of the zealous co- operation of everyone in getting one of the best platoons in close order drill. To watch the First Platoon drill fills you with pep and makes you want to be in it yourself. It won the Fall competition in close order drill and the platoon leader as their representative, is wearing a Platoon-Drill medal. In general the First Platoon, this year, has been one of the leaders in military work; con- sequently every one of it ’s members feels proud of the fact. Roster PL Leader Lieut. Channer Asst.

Neill has had no assistant Lieutenant since Ladd has been transferred to the 1st Platoon, it has displayed much ability in mi it ary work. Most of its ability is in field work with military science and tactics rather than in close order drill. The first field problem that was judged by the officers from Jefferson Barracks was won by this Platoon, every man of which, the officers said, had a good working knowledge of the principles of this work. This platoon has men who are exceptionally good in rifle firing. Sergt. VanHoefen is the best shot in school and is the wearer of a Sharpshooter medal. Corp. Torres, a close second to VanHoefen, wears a Markmanship medal. The Fourth has also furnished many good athletes this year in foot-ball and basket- ball. All in all, the Second Platoon, of Company “B” has everything of which it should be proud. Roster PI. Leader Lieut. Neill PI. Sergeant Sergt. VanHoefen Sergt. Brenner. L. Diemling Palmer Serct.

O N June 17tli, 1924, after having travelled a long distance, seven Western fellows found themselves in the midst of Camp Custer. The adventurers were Hegwein, Gaus, Dunham, Brooks, W., Niemoeller, Wolchansky, H., and Drescher. After being pushed and shoved around for about an hour and a half, we were finally notified that, having met all requirements, we were ad- mitted as full-fledged Camp Custer recruits. Following the completion of the assignments, the work began immediately, little lime was lost in spite of the noon-day heat. The work at Camp consisted of a very intensive course in Military Science and Tactics, and in practical application of it’s principles under conditions as near as possible to actual Warfare. Other phases of the work were instruction in machine gun and trench mortar work in which Gaus excelled, and rifle and pistol markmanship in which Brooks carried off the highest honors. But all uas not work. There Mere various means of diversion at Custer to occupy the time on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. Battle Creek and Kalamazoo M-ere about five and tventy miles respectively from Camp, thus enabling the fellovs having machines (with apologies) to make frequent trips to these towns. In sports, swimming and horse hack riding Mere the leaders. In the evenings the Hostess House and the Liberty Theatre M ' ere the chief diversions. None of the cadets who attended Camp last summer M ' ould have sacrificed their experience, as they all consider it a great benefit to them. The govern- ment has planned to make many improvements over last years equipment and Mork, and therefore the cadets who attend Camp this summer will have more advantages than last year’s men. Although last year Mas a record breaker, the prospects for this year are greater. Ri£le Team M ARKSMANSHIP is, perhaps, one of the few types of amusements recog- nized as having direct relations with the military part of any institution. And, as a general rule, we are very apt to find such departments as rifle teams in most any military school. This year has again witnessed Western’s following in the custom of having such a team and, apparently, leading in this activity. Major Jacobs has very successfully chosen a team of fourteen men to represent the school this season and Me find that they have very ably preserved the reputation of the fore-going teams. In fact the Academy has always been noted for its markmanship since it has always attempted to demonstrate the use- fulness of being an accurate shot. In order to maintain enthusiasm in this activity the school sends each Fall and Spring to the range at St. Charles all those men who qualify on the 100 yard range with the regulation 30:30 rifle. This years scores M’ere very commendable and, as a result, tM’o men qualified as Sharp- shooters and four men as Marksmen. Those men M’ho represented Western this year are : Campbell Holmes MacDonald Dazey Korach Noltf.

Since that time it has grown and prospered with the years, due to its true spirit of fraternalism. This ( hapter, Gamma Nu, is proud to be one of the seventy-one chapters of Delta Sigma, which are located all over the country — from Maine to Alabama and New York to California. The Chapter for 1924-25 consists of twenty-three members. These have represented the Fraternity in all branches of the school activities. During the past year there have been Delts on Western’s Football. Basketball, Baseball, and Track teams and also the minor sport teams. e feel that this year has been one of the Delta Sigmas greatest years at Western.

Bocciano Chaplain Fraternalism • ' 1 7MIATERNALISM is the embodiment of two great principles, brotherly love and fellowship. They are anything but new. From the time of the ancients to the present day, the very heart of Fraternalism has been composed of these two. Without these it would be as a ship without a rudder. The real spirit of Fraternalism sprang from the desire of comradeship. In ancient times, man felt the need of his fellows instead of the lonely life which he lead. Consequently the forming of community life began. With this came, as a natural following, the awakening of the brotherly love and fellowship of which one man is capable of giving another. A Since there is only one true kind of brotherly love, this must needs be the one embodied in Fraternalism. Just as Shakespeare and Milton reached the acme of poetry, so has brotherly love reached the pinnacle in Fraternalism. True brothers share everything. There must be an equal division, and each must bear his part. Joys are to be shared, and sorrows to be proportioned. The burdens of one must be distributed equally upon the backs of all. Fellowship that is freely given, and appreciated as such, forms the second great principle of which Fraternalism is composed. In fact, the very essence of Fraternalism has been expressed by Milton in one sentence. “Fellowship in pain divides not smart.” s by H. R. W.

Weinert, George Edwards, Emilio Torres and the Donnelly brothers. We also were very strongly represented on the second team line-up, having Channel ' , Candy and Lamer to our favor. The organization of the basketball team saw (’banner, Lamer and Candy represent Western in her series of first team battles. “Pink” Harral and “Jeff” Donnelly very skill- fully supported the academy ' s swimming team, capturing many honors in the fancy diving and dashes respectively. Track season opened to find the Phi Alpha Omegas well represented among the candidates for letters in this sport, having to their credit Candy and Edwards in high jump, and Channel - in the distance runs. Our outlook in athletics for the year of 1925 and 1926 is a very promising one, as we have Murphy, Torres, Lamer and Candy back to hit the pig-skin in the Fall and to carry our standards through the remainder of the year. MILITARY In regard to the military phase of life at Western, Phi Alpha Omega was very aptly represented in the fact that she held two ranks among the Cadet Officers, namely Lieutenants George (’banner and Pinckney Harral. When the orders for non-commissioned officers were published we found added to our list Sergeant George Edwards and Corporals Tom Murphy and Earl Candy. A great amount of Plii Alpha Omega ' s success this year was due to these men who have so gracefully borne our military work throughout. They have continually upheld the ideals in this part of Western’s activities, and we hope to maintain these same high standards in the future. LITERARY As one of the principle social factors governing any group of people lies in the continual balance obtained by the variations in vocations, so Phi Alpha Omega has vari- ated her activities by adding and ranking the academic and literary side upon the same level as the military and athletic. We feel that we have the greatest literary honor that we could have bestowed upon us in having Harral Editor-In-Chief of this year’s Recall along with Edwards as the Sport Editor of the same publication. As to the school paper, we also have the honor of having Weinert and Channel ' members of the Senior Shrapnel Staff. FUTURE The school year of 1925-1926 seems to hold a very encouraging outlook as we shall have a few members return- ing to carry on the work and ideals of this Fraternity. Those returning are, Tom Murphy, Emilio Torres, Bruce Drever, Earl Candy, Whedon Slater, Charles Lamer and the Kerckhoff brothers.

Tn enly-seven Commencement 1924 Commencement exercises began Sunday, June 7, with Baccalaureate in the College Avenue Baptist Church, Reverend H. D. Reader of the Webster Groves Baptist Church being tbe speaker. Preceding the service Captain Williams of the Academy faculty gave an organ recital which was much enjoyed by the audience. Mr. Reader’s address was interesting and inspiring, full of good sense and sound advice to the class of young men to whom it was delivered. Vocal numbers for the service were rendered by the quartette from the First Presbyterian Church, composed of Mesdames McDow and English and Messrs. Porter and Crawford. CLASS DAY EXERCISES Monday was Class Day, main features of which were the class play, “Be- lieve Me, Xantippe, ” presented by representative Seniors at 1:30 o’clock, and the concert given by the musical organizations at 8:00 o’clock. A battalion parade was given after the play. Always a big day, Class Day this year was no exception, and large crowds were enthusiastic spectators at every event. The grounds were thronged with parents and friends of cadets, with former and future patrons, and with many members of the Alumni Association. COM MENCEMENT DAY Up to Tuesday the weather had been hot and sticky, but some time during Monday night there was a relenting of the elements, the weather changed, the heat passed off, and Tuesday, Commencement Day, dawned clear and beautifully cool. As a result people were in high feather; life was worth living after all, and Commencements were a real pleasure. Exercises this year were a little more brief than usual, but that fact added to the attractiveness of the program. The invocation was delivered by Reverend Father Kehoe of St. Patrick’s Church. Mrs. Karl Kimmel of St. Louis delighted the audience with three solo numbers, after which the address of the day was delivered by A. T. Morey, Commonwealth Steel Company, Granite City, 111. The address was clear, practical, and forward looking. Mr. Morey im- pressed the graduates with the fact that in starting into life right principles should govern the action, and that the Golden Rule may be made of practical value in every undertaking. The Senior Quartette closed the program with “Senior Farewell,” which caused many teary eyes in the audience. BAND CONCERT AND MILITARY EXHIBITIONS IN AFTERNOON At 1 :30 the band gave a concert on the lawn, followed by exhibitions by the military department. Calisthenic drills, close order marching, wall scaling, and tent pitching were among the items of interest in these exhibitions. All were well performed and elicited much applause from the crowds watching them. SENIOR PROM At 8:00 p. m. the Senior Prom closed the round of entertainments. It was acclaimed by all to be tbe best and most brilliant ever given at Western. The Seniors had decorated the drill hall in their class colors, and great billows of purple and gold extended from ceiling to windows throughout the entire extent of the hall. This, with the brilliant lighting, produced a very gorgeous effect. Dancing continued until a late hour; then farewells were spoken ; the Seniors passed into the ranks of the Alumni, and the Juniors stepped into their places as Seniors. Page One Hundred T n ent )-eiglit The Senior Play of 1924 Believe Me, Xantippe! M ORE than passing mention should he made of tin Senior Class Play, part- ly because it is the usual thing to praise such performances and the people who take part in them, but more especially because the play this year was more than usually praiseworthy. The play itself was of a nature to take the fancy of students. The plot, built around the theme of the inefficiency of the “strong arm of the law,” and having just the Western atmosphere and flavor of adventure to make it likable, led up to a fine climax. The situations, while not melodramatic, were fascinating and often humorous. Lawrence Jacobson, the fugitive from justice, as lead, kept the sympathy of the audience with him from the very first. Louis Vogel, MacFarland’s friend and admirer, lias an easy bearing and fine stage presence. He proved the truth of Mrs. Wilcox’s statement: “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Russel Gaus, the cool-headed detective on Mac’s trail, was delightful. In thinking it over it seems that nobody but Gaus could have done that part. His level, direct eyes, his even voice, and collected manner fitted him exactly to the part. Buck Kamman, the Colorado sheriff, played by William Wunderlich, was fine in Western pep and alertness. Wunderlich came into the play late, but he carried the part handsomely, both as sheriff and as the adoring father. Ed S. Marshall did the paid of the good natured, lazy jailor to perfection. He showed very humorously that while a fellow may be loyal and obedient to orders, he can at the same time get a lot of comfort out of his position. Simp Kalloway, the outlaw, very easily became the Mexican bandit under the interpretation of Manuel Cruz. Cruz was picturesque and vivid, and lent the play some of the romance of his Southern country. Jack Bradley, MacFarland’s valet, although not having a big part, did it well, and helped make the play a success. And now, last but not least, “To the Ladies.” Ever since the performance, Theodore H orman as Dolly Kamman has been the talk of the spectators. “She flirted with her eyes.” “She pouted at her father so naturally.” “She showed in her face quick decisions necessary to her part, etc., etc.” Always a difficult feat for a boy, the girl’s part was about as well played by Horman as could be done by a real boy. Schiffer, as Violet, pal of Simp Kalloway, and trouble maker for MacFarland, was a scream. Beautifully gowned, bejeweled and rouged, perfect in poise, he brought down the house at his first appearance. At his second appearance, after the curl had come out of his hair and the rouge had disappeared from his face as a result of prison life, he was as popular as ever. Degen made a most comfortable looking aunt and chaperon for Dolly, and carried the part well. The only drawback was that his sun bonnet hid — as sun bonnets will — his face so completely that the audience could not see what a good looking woman he was. The standard for Western plays, always high, has been raised one more notch by the Class of 1924. Page One Hundred Twenty-nine The Dances rrr HE War Lord Mars, who presides over the routine of all good Military X Schools is sometimes momentarily conquered by a youthful gentleman of Irish extraction. On these occasions, when Mr. Daniel Cupid usurps the throne of Mars, he forces the Dictator to flee to the most distant parts, and Mars never flees so furtively as on the eve of a Western dance. The drill hall being scrubbed, the piano being re-tuned, Mars betakes him- self to Mexico, and there occupies his leisure hours by stirring up a revolution. All thoughts of rifles, bayonets, and close order are driven from the minds of the Cadets, while dreams of the ecstacy to come replaces them. Questions of, “gotta dance Joe?” and “didja get regrets?” are heard as a preparatory overture to the hop. Programs, hastily, yet carefully filled, and hair, slicked down with ounces of grease announce that all is ready. In the drill hall pretty misses discuss handsome crushes, and the Cadets march in. Momentary confusion of finding a partner, calls for the “requisi- tion” girl preceed the music, which breaks out shortly after the entry of the grey clad youths. Then for three hours all is happiness, happiness expressed by lithe, sway- ing forms, thoughts of romance, and shy glances. All too soon a piercing note is heard, that of the trumpet proclaiming Cupid’s regime is over, and that of Mars once more beginning. DANCES OF 1924- ”2. ' ) Thanksgiving Night, 1924.

Page One Hundred Thirty Chautauqua HIGHER EDUCATION You may have been a shining light in your ward school ; you may have been the president of your class ; or you may boast of the thousand and one re-inspec- tions, skin-lists, and extra drills; but your education is not complete until you have left care and regulation behind and “week-ended” in the wilds of Chautaqua. A clear blue day in the month of October, two or three Captains (for the sake of propriety and protection) and sixty cadets will make the natives of that serene villiage feel that life has begun anew. An afternoon of hikes, games, and more hikes will create an appetite which will do justice to the meals “fit for the Gods”. An evening filled with the early Autumn chill, wood fires, good country cooking will act as an appropriate appetizer for the evening with its round of festivities — and the snipe hunt. A morning with its crispness, the hot and cold running water, the sparse- ness of the blankets, and the early morning prowlers will do wonders to arouse any of the “late sleepers” — (if any exist as late as 5:30 A. M.) A Sunday filled with the grand and glorious feeling of no inspections, no church squads, and the anticipation of the chicken dinner, with all the trim- mings, will be enough to send sixty cadets (tired but happy), two or three Cap- tains and Majors, (with their quota of propriety and an added quota of pro- tection) toward W. M. A. — One clear blue day in the month of October. “May Taps go at 7 :30” is the prayer of all. . Cage One Hundred Thirly-onc Informal Stunts THE HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES Ye olde celebration of ye mystic eve of all Hallows was begun in mine hosts messe halle. Right fitting were ye decorations that adorned that palatial roome as in tramped the lusty knaves to partake of ye feast. Ho! for ye web feet fowl and pumpkin pie that we dined off right merrily and each plate flanked by ye steaming flagon of mellow Java. Revelry broke loose to the strains of YE WARM CANINE .JAZZ HOUNDS and ye knaves bedecked in Cappes of many colors clapped ye hands right heartily. Dinner over, Ye ancient and honorable platoon competition was rife in ye drill hall with ye lucky Fourth still in first place. Verily ye witches did marvel to see such hilarious activity among ye mortals. THE FALL BOAT TRIP The morning of October the Eighth dawned clear and bright. At her wharf in the Mississippi River the Steamer Bald Eagle tugged at the hawsers like an impatient colt, in anticipation of the troop of young men that were soon to cover her decks. A few miles off the air was broken by that cordially detested First Call, this morning more welcome than usual. Soon the corps of Cadets were swarming over the Bald Eagle. Toot ! Toot !, and the boat headed for the open river. After some minutes spent in gazing at the engines, the coal and the stokers a happy noise filled the air, and the young folks were busily engaged in doing nothing more than en- joying themselves. The RED HOT JAZZ HOUNDS soon started to fill the air with melody and here and there lithe bodies rocked and crooned in all the intricate movements of dancing. A short shore leave of twenty minutes was enjoyed at Grafton and then the boat was headed back to Alton. Too soon the destination was reached, and the Bald Eagle lay passively at her moorings. Page One Hundred Thirly-t o Lest We Forget THE BAILEY LECTURE “Conceit is what you think you are. “Confidence is what you know you are.” On January 10 our local lyceum course gave us two things — Professor Hailey and the above quotation. We enjoyed Professor Bailey a great deal and his charm in telling humorous stories appealed to us. STRICKLAND GILLILAND Strickland Gilliland, the noted humorist and poet, rendered to the corps on Wednesday night, February 4, his very interesting and comical lecture, “To Hell With Gloom,” otherwise, and less straight to the point, “Laugh It Off. The principal object of the talk, and one that was forcibly impressed on the audience was, always be an optimist. ENTERTAINED BY ST. LOUIS GIRLS One of the most delightful entertainments of the year was presented to the cadets on Saturday evening , March 7, when Mrs. Karl Kimmel brought a group of clever young ladies to the academy. IRENE STOLOFSKY AND COMPANY GIVE WESTERN A MUSICAL TREAT Irene Stolofsky and Company, from the Red path Bureau, gave a highly en- tertaining and pleasing program on Monday evening, March 9. The trio of mu- sicians rendered a musical program that will never be forgotten. The company consisted of — Miss Irene Stolofsky Violinist Mr. George B. Imbrie Baritone Miss Massmann Piano Soloist and Accompanist DR. BISHOP Dr. Bishop, a Princeton graduate, spoke to the corps last Thursday, March Dr. Bishop, who travels about the country in the service of the Presbyterian Church, in an accomplished orator. Ilis inspiring lecture will be long remem- bered. The doctor took “Habit and It’s Influence on Character” for a subject and with clever stories and anecdotes lie illustrated the effect of habit on charac- ter.

A SYMPHONY of color and motion, a picture of perfect beauty and grace, delightful for the participators and even for the observer — such we are told is the artistry of this year’s Prom. The high vaulted, ceiling of the gym with its structural i ron tresses will be transformed in a canopy of red and white with paper streamers interwoven across the ceiling and dropped from the balcony. At eight o’clock the grand march will begin. At a change of tempo by the music from the martial strains of the promenade, one hundred and fifty couples will dissolve the set lines of the promenade and melt out over the floor into moving images of bright colors contrasted with formality of the dress uniform. The Senior Retreat and the Junior Promenade will be modeled upon the same plan as the one which was used last year. The area surrounding the studio will be converted into a Japanese garden. The Committee for the Prom will be — Lieutenant Neill Lieutenant Channek Corporal Kuhs Cadet D.
