Pinckney Harral Honor Graduate Captain Harral, as honor graduate, held a distinctive position that is practically unknown to any other honor graduate of Western. When one considers the fact that he was the highest ranking cadet officer in school, that he held the position of captain of the swimming team, stood high scholastically, and was Editor of the 1925 RECALL one must admit that his three years, spent at W. M. A., were prosperous ones. This year, Harral is continuing his work at Washington and Lee University. rage Twenty Six

The Class of 1926 r I throughout our entire career as a class we have taken an active part in all school activities. Indeed, the past four years have been memorable ones In the less spectacular fields of academic life, we have fought our battles, have won our little victories and suffered our small defeats. We have undergone a change. We have felt the influence of new ideas and different changes and we are not the same persons who began our course here four years ago. We have learned from our teachers, from books and from our comrades. We have finished our course, we have kept the spirit, we have tried to fight a good fight. Farewell underclassmen, may we return in the years to come to find that you have shouldered our burdens and “carried on” in a manner befitting your trust. To you, Class of 1927, we leave our brilliant unsullied record, may you do this record justice and in turn, hand it down to the Class of 1928 as bright and shining as it is today. The Officers of the Class of 1926 President: Gray Magee Vice-President: Frank P. Viviano Secretary: Chas. D. Matthews i i i Treasurer: Robert E. MacDonald A SENIOR ' S FAREWELL So long old man, see you later, It’s good-bye to Alma Mater. Four years is a long, long time When you’re looking up the line — But to look back and remember All that four-year-old September, Seems like just a week or so Since we said our first “Hello”. Good times, and some bad ones too, Sometimes feelin’ awful blue — Mailman late, and then no letter, Illinois rain — what’s wetter? Still to look back on it all, Western wasn ' t bad at all. Pard — it seems like our gayest years Are the ones we’ve spent right here. 1‘age Twenty-Eight
