M| vgu WI tun f ™ a Ml M A THE RECALL 1927 Senior Class The Class of ig 2y ' ■•SHERE is not a one of us but that feels a bit regretful at leaving our Alma Mater, because for four years she has been so close to us that she seems to be a part of us. Wherever we allow ourselves to wander in pursuit of the “elusive” career, and whatever we finally do accomplish, we shall never cease profiting from our training received here; and we shall never forget nor regret the acquaintances and associa ' tions formed here.

Color Sergt., 1925-26 Capt., 1926-27 Pres., Senior Class Gun Club, 1924-25-26-27 Dramatic Club, 1927 “Ole” Mac, in his three years at Western, has succeeded in making a name for himself. He has attained a height in the Military, Athletic and Social life of the school. We can say without doubt, that Mac has really made a name for Arkansas and for himself. He has had the unusual distinction of rising to Captain in three years; President of the Senior Class and other prominent positions. We know that “Margie is as proud of him as we are. JESSE W. GREENLIEF, A Bellflower, Calif. Entered Sept., 1924 Honor Roll, 1925-26-27 Corporal, 1925-26 First Lieutenant and Battalion Adjutant, 1926-27 Recall Staff, 1926-27 ■Q, A A Medal — Corporal Best Drilled Squad, 1925 Dance Committee, 1926-27 Shrapnel, 1925 Vice-President Senior Class Jess is one of the men who, through untiring energy and perseverance, has made this book possible. We like him immensely. He is the sort that digs in and worlds like blazes,” gets results and does not blow his own horn. The world would be better if more of this type could be found. Many men come here and make good, but they inevitably spoil it by trying to impress us with the fact that they have done so — but not Ole Jess. Entered Sept., 1924 Honor Roll, 1926 Rinkydinks, 1924-25 Cheer Leader, 1926-27 Co. Track Team, 1926 VERNON BARRY St. Louis, Mo. Class Treasurer Co. Baseball, 1926 Corporal, 1926 Lieutenant, 1926-27 Recall Staff, 1927 Dramatic Club, 1927 One thing the school at large agrees upon : — that is, that Vernon is a prince of a fellow and one who has not been in any way spoiled by the responsibility vested in him. To every man his just deserts. Ever since Barry left the narrow confines of South St. Louis, he has certainly earned whatever honors have befallen him during his sojourn at Western; three years made famous by the very presence of this energetic cad et. May he handle the problems of life with as much endeavor as the boys of E Company. Page Twenty-eight wm f ua mu mt tun , v THE RECALL 1927 HENRY WARD BAKER Harrisburg, III.

W. is one of those Jtard boiled sergeants you hear so much about, but don ' t let that mislead you. A finer fellow never wore a pair of Sergeant ' s chevrons, or filled his position in a better manner. He is not only active in military wor , but hurls a “mean javelin . J. BRUCE DREVER, J A Q, A A Glencoe, III. Entered Sept., 1924 Honor Roll, 1925-1926 Tennis, 1924-25-26 Hockey Team, Capt., 1926-27 After three years of association with Bruce, we can pass judgment to the effect that he is one of the best comrades the school has ever enrolled. By virtue of his gift of gab his high standing has been well preserved. If “Mouths wind holds out, earning his bread and butter should present no difficulties after he leaves us here. Private, 1924 Corporal, 1925 Sergeant, 1926-27 Dance Committee WILLIAM I. CAMPF1ELD Richmond, Ind. Entered Sept., 1925 Plebe Crack Squad “A Co., 1926 Honor Roll, 1926-27 Dramatic Club, 1926-27 A man who has served two of the most creditable years with Western. He is the type of man that is essential to the success of any organization. The (find whose initiative is an asset. His dream is West Point. Our wishes — that it be realized. mm n ' m.li MiMl Page Twenty-nine «m i | at «ju «n «m ■ T. ; T. .1 . THE RECALL 1927 EDWIN FOLLETT CARTER Cleveland, Ohio Entered Sept. 17, 1926 Private Honor Roll, 1926 Recall Staff Dramatic Club Edwin is one of those quiet livable chaps , the Ipnd that everyone wants for a friend. He has been here but a year; however , he has gamed tlje friendship of every man who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. Bon Voy- age-Old top. g • J I JOHN F. CONRAD, ' !

Entered Sept., 1923 Second Basketball, 1923-24-25 First Basketball, 1926-27 Second Football, 1926 Corporal, 1924-25 Sergeant, 1925-26-27 JJow, John is a fellow who is possessed of enough good qualities to enable him to pic his friends where and when he pleases. We are to be congratulated that he has made lasting friendships with so many of us. His rise to basketball fame was rapid, in that he is one of the Ducky ' s most brilliant substitutes. When John returns to Western at future Commencements, he will not lacl( old friends because it is very decidedly understood that he’s all wool and a yard wide . EDGAR ALLEN COOK Alton, III. Entered Sept., 1925 Honor Roll, 1926-27 Corporal, 1926-27 Dance Committee, 1926-27 Recall Staff, 1927 Shrapnel Staff, 1926-27 Dramatic Club, 1925-26-27 Edgar has accomplished more in two years than a good many have in four. That is of being dependable. Aside from being one of the native sons of Alton he hasn ' t any faults. To him who Ipiotas all of the debs of “the town , we predict a brilliant future. mmm ' m m 1 ji mi mi Page Thirty CLEON F. COLE, l A Marion, Ind. Entered Sept., 1926 Private C Co. Tennis, 1926-27 Cole is one of those good natured , care-free fellows that everybody I ijjes. He watches life pursue its wanton course, with a perpetual smile. Cleon served only a year here, but each day he seems to grow more amiable. It would be sophistry, however, to conclude that he does not have his serious moments. When duty calls he can be as serious as the next fellow, and he has accomplished more than the lion ' s share for the short time he has been with us. May lucl( be with you, old boy. ROBERT O. FURMAN Harrisburg, III. Entered Jan:, 1924 Private Second Football , 1926 Band Dramatic Club It ta es all l inds of men to ma e a world — the farmer, the lawyer, and the minister — each necessary in his place. Without Ipiowmg much about the above gentleman from Illinois, I ' d wager my weekly allowance that when he finishes some university he ' ll be found in the latter class. JOHN G. HENDRICKS Cooper, Tex. Entered Sept., 1926 Private D. Co. Hendricks hails from that little strip of country down near Mexico, where they drinlf the potent juice of the cactus all morning, worship Morpheus all afternoon, and court dar -eyed maidens in the evenings. It is a wild country, sown with stilettos and loco weed, but we need not fear as to the reception we may get at the hands of our friend, for hi s heart is as warm as the climate in which he dwells. iuiilMM M ffi m ml mu Page Thirty-one ttn i yn � w jm «m THE RECALL 1927 PAUL W.

Since then he has done a great many surprising thing s. That he has made countless friends can be proved rather by the friends themselves than any jnere words. We can truthfully say that it was a luc y day for Captain Gerow when Paul joined his rifle team. Unquestionably, he has lived up to all the memories and ideals of the Academy. May the ran s in the companies of Western always contain such men as Huclpns RALPH C . L1BEAU Entered Sept., 1925 Upper Ten, 1926-27 First Class Private, 1926 Shrapnel Staff, 1925-26 Sergeant, 1926-27 Band, 1925-26-27 Orchestra, 1925-26-27 Here, Ladies and Gentlemen , we have the representative of the motion picture world. During Ralph ' s two years at Western, our Saturday night picture shows have assumed a professional dignity that has caused our “Just a moment, please, signs to be placed in the discard. JOHN B. MARKHAM, A A Parsons, Kans. Second Lieut., 1926-27 Band, 1923-24-25-26-27 Orchestra, 1923-24-25-26-27 Recall Staff, 1926-27 Entered Sept., 1923 Upper Ten, 1923-24-25-26-27 Co. Track Team, 1926 Sergeant, 1926 There are a great number of fellows around Western who say very little. John is one of these cadets. He is a fellow who, in his four years here, has been one of the mainstays of the Band. Through his hard wor and his great wor for the school he has risen to the position of Lieutenant. Upper Ten honors during 1923-27 were never safe when he was around.

In his two years at W. M. A. he has achieved a number of things, among them being the mainstay of the tennis team. At present he is high ranging Corporal. In scholastic wor he has ranged high on the Upper Ten and on the Honor Roll. RAYMOND E. MINOR Kansas City, Mo. Entered Sept., 1926 Band, 1926-27 Jazz Orchestra, 1926-27 R ay is another of Western’s musically inclined boys. He is one of the leading members of the band, and is also a member of a number of jazz orchestras. His greatest weakness is History, but he surely does like Prof in that course. LOUIS E. NOLTE, I A, AA St. Louis, Mo. Entered Jan., 1923 Upper Ten, 1925-26-27 Gold Scholarship, 1925-27 1st Football, 1926 2nd Basketball, 1926 2nd Football, 1924-25 Corporal, 1924-25 1st Sergeant, 1925-26 Captain, 1926-27 Recall Staff, 1926-27 Dramatic Club, 1926-27 Rifle Team, 1925-26-27 Chairman Dance Com., 1926-27 Gun Club, 1925-26-27 Four and a half years ago a small fellow with a mighty voice entered the gates of Western to show the mili- tary world who he was. He rose rapidly in the esteem of the entire cadet corps as well as the officers in charge of the military, athletic, and military departments. Louis has not decided upon his plans for the coming year, but the authorities of Western have no fear for his future success. mmm ' mM 1 m. m imi Page Thirty-three GEORGE BOARDMAN Glencoe, III. Entered Sept., 1925 Pistol Club, 1926-27 Swimming Team, 1926-27 Field Music, 1925-26 Dramatic Club, 1926-27 Deciding tluit he needed a change of surroundings, George boarded a south bound train for W. M. A. After looking about, he decided that he was pleased with the place, and immediately set out to work,. At first, it was quite apparent that he was to be the usual type of cadet; but Boardman, by his persistent effort, soon distinguished himself as a swimmer. NED POE, A S Tulsa, O I(la. Entered Sept., 1926 Rinkydinks, 1926 Dramatic Club, 1927 Poe is a fellow from the land of ' ' Oil . He came here as one of the plebes who find it very easy to get acquainted. Ned seems to be a fellow who is bound for the stage. He is a lad who did well in Dramatics and seems to be cut out for that work. WILLIAM G. RAITH, JR., A A St. Louis, Mo. Entered Sept., 1923 Upper Ten, 1925-26 Honor Roll, 1925-26-27 Second Football, 1926-27 Ice Hockey Team, 1927 Dramatic Club, 1927 Old Bill, better Ipioum as Sid Ie oot”, is one of the old school ' s best fellows. One thing which he did which surprised us all was when he went out for the second team. Bill is the Leader of A Company and has quite a “Bunch . He is the Managing Editor of the Annual and has worked hard to ma e the boo of the Class of 27 a success He plans on entering Washington U. next year. Good luck t0 him. inim ' MiM ii Mifflin Corporal, 1926 Sergeant, 1926-27 Lieutenant, 1926-27 Recall Staff, 1926-27 Shrapnel Staff, 1925-26 Page Thirty-four THE RECALL 192 7 MANUAL O.

Although “Mopo ' s barrack is trailing a little bit, it has not discouraged him in the least. Not only in the barracks is he a hard worker, but also in the other departments of the school. CLEMENT L.

He is a fellow who worlds hard, and has made a good record in his stay in the old school. Sep. tember, 1927, may find him registering at Washington University, St. Louis. Mo. Who knows ?

We are now met in this year of 1927, the year of our departure from this grand old school. It tafcs from our midst a very brilliant and competent musician. It can well be said that Vedder has been the mainstay of our musical organizations — with emphasis to the syncopa- tion of his sax in the jazz orchestra. LEON N. WASHBURN Bloomington, III.

Western football will certainly miss him next year, while Illinois tail! welcome him. He is making marks in other athletics too, — baseball and track were easy for him. Basketball was one of his most accomplished sports. In fact, he had every requirement for a wonderful athlete. Indeed, when Western loses Red it loses a truly versatile man.

This is a question which, no doubt, many would like to have answered. This designation together with its significance means much to the cadet at W. M. A All of those military academies in which the government has established units of the Reserve Officers Training Corps are entitled to enter into a competition, the purpose of which is to determine the best academies in the United States. It is necessary to successfully pass what is known as a corp area inspection before entering into the competition proper. In the Spring of each year, a group of army officers from the National Headquarters in Washington, D. C., make a tour of the United States, inspecting those schools which have been recommended by the corps area inspectors. These men, after returning to Washington, prepare a list of what is called honor schools. This list must not exceed thirty per cent of all the R. O. T. C. units established in military academies. It is composed of those and only those schools which have made the highest grades in the final inspection. This designation concerns only the military departments of an institution. To win this is indeed a great honor. As an award to those academies which have made this list, the government allows each school to send their honor graduate to the United States Military Academy at West Point without examination. Western is confident that it shall maintain its last year ' s high rating, as a result of this year ' s inspection. The Western Military ideals are capable of anything. They are made possible only by the interest of the officers and the cooperation of the corps. IMIMMJ if M MHH tttt A Page Fifty-rune jtfft 1 Utt 1UU ill! Jim A iBS, THE RECALL 1927 Capt.

True to traditions, this team of 1926 displayed some very good form. During the season, the team went through ten games and emerged winner in six of them. But the interesting feature of the defeats was manifested in the closeness of the scores. A glance at the Chaminade and the Christian Brothers College games will verify the statement. l mm tw in Page Sixty tut 1 uu 1UU |yt jnn A ffl. iff. .Wl THE RECALL 1927 Baseball The Season of 1926 On April the fourteenth, our team, backed by a few faithfuls who braved the chilly blasts, defeated McKendree College 5 ' 0. Higgins was the star. A week later our 7-4 defeat at the hands of McBride High made us realize that the season had begun. Anderson and Murphy starred. Our defeat of 8-4 by St. Louis University High was the second game lost in the Prep League. Despite the cold day and the high wind the game proved to be exciting. Dame Fortune, April 28th, again smiled upon us and allowed a 12 2 victory for us over Country Day School. Chapell’s pitching proved the feature of the day. After our first Prep League victory, our team subdued Chaminade College to the score of 11 to 5. This game put Western into tie for second place. May the fifth saw our close victory over the Christian Brothers College nine. The 11-10 score indicates the unsteadiness of the game. Our second defeat at the hands of St. Louis University High was another close contest. Higgins hurled the 8-7 game. Little opposition on the part of Country Day School gave us our 17-4 over the Codasco. It was a game of generous donations gracefully filled with plenty of base stealing on the part of the Cadets. May the 19th marked the crisis in our baseball career when Chaminade gave us a 14-13 defeat, which completely eliminated us from the pennant competition. Our final game, an 8-0 victory over Christian Brothers College, brought the season to an end. By this defeat, C. B. C. lost her second place to McBride. Western ranked fourth in the Prep League standing. To Captain Holmes, the coach, goes much credit for the work of the team. Considering the fact that he had few letter men return and that the bulk of the squad was raw material, one is proud of the fourth place ranking.

By this, one might say that this singularness came not from the number of Meets participated in, nor the number of “Firsts” won, but from the records broken. Our first dual meet with Principia, held at Taylor Field, netted our opponents a score of 69 points to our 53. In all Principia captured nine first places to our five. To Robert Poos, the 1926 Captain, goes the honor of winning the most points. Not content with winning 11 points, he broke the old record of 20 feet 11 inches by a leap of 21 feet 11.2 inches. In the high jump, he crossed the bar at 5 feet 10 inches. Lampton and Torres ranked first and second in the Shot-Put, as well as Baker who hurled the Javelin 123 feet 2 inches. In the Discus Throw, Torres gained first while Lampton made a close second. Other members of the team acquitting themselves with honor were Barth, Keal, Julier, Janovsky, Valentine, and Birchfield. The Preparatory League Meet Though Western ranked third with 29 points, Country Day, first, 41, and St. Louis University High, second with 40, our team demonstrated its ability to break a record in the Broad Jump. Poos, by his 20 feet 8 inches, succeeded in gaining a first. Julier in the Javelin, Torres in the Discus, and Valentine in the 120- Yard Hurdles made first places. Velasco, Hughes, and Birchfield were also point winners. Much credit for the gains of the season go to Major Garetson who coached the Team of 1926.

A large class of sixty-two cadets received diplomas. Reverend William T. Hanzsche, pastor, Prospect Street Presbyterian Church, Trenton, New Jersey, delivered the Commence- ment address. Reverend Hanzsche was formerly pastor of the Upper Alton Presbyterian Church, and was also chaplain at Western during the World War. Mrs. Sames, mother of Cadet Sames, sang beautifully, and scored a great triumph with the audience. The valedictorian of the class was Cadet Major Gray M. Magee, and the salutatorian was Cadet Captain William A. Albrecht. Both cadets were from St. Louis. After the exercises, a band concert and a battalion parade were held. The cadet officers were presented with commissions and warrants. The “Prom was held that evening at 8 o ' clock in the drill hall. The Class of 1926 enjoys the distinction o ' having placed Western on the list of ten “honor schools,” published yearly by the War Department. This is the highest rating attainable.

Last year after Western had been designated as “An Honor School,’’ we learned that Gray was appointed to West Point, and that he would spend one more year with us before he left for his four year’s career at the Point. To him goes our best wishes as well as our admiration, for he has been an able student, a capable officer, and a sincere friend. Salutatorian William Albert Albrecht Home: St. Louis, Mo.

Fortune smiled not only upon the instructors but also upon the Corps and the Military Depart- ment when Albrecht and Magee returned to Western. And it would not be amiss to say that we are glad to have them back with us? Their efforts in the Government Inspection of 1926 will no doubt be repeated in the coming Spring. ’Tis safe to wager that we will be again “An Honor School .

To whom is the credit due? The Hop Club, on whom falls the burden of selecting dates, music and decora ' tions, certainly deserves a great amount of credit for the success of this year’s dances. Maintaining an excellent standard for their functions from the first monthly informal in October to the last one given by the cadet corps in May, the club has caused every party to be a wonderful pleasure to all. Under the able direction of our sponsor, Mrs. F. N. Henderson, the large formal dances of the year have all been delightful affairs. All the old men have commented upon how much better and elaborate the decorations have been this year than any year previous. For this innovation the credit goes to Charlie Pfingsten, assisted ably by Dave Watson and Harry Mantz. We may look forward to the final dance at Commencement with the greatest of pleasure, being assured that an unusually fine program and orchestra will be brought to the Academy. The Corps of Cadets cooperated admirably in inviting members of the fair sex, who after all are the most important part of a ball.

W. M. A. 24 Christian Brothers College 0 This overwhelming victory left a tie between Western and McBride for the league lead. Brilliant passing and running were combined to the best advantage. Borah was outstanding, but the entire team united their best efforts. October 29. W. M.

Murphy, Kjar and Allen played fine football in helping to make possible the record of Borah, who scored the entire twenty points scored by our team. November 13. W. M. A. 5 P rincipia 0 The outstanding event of the season was this game and the corps’ trip to St. Louis. With only a two ' point lead for all but six seconds of the game, this one was a real thriller. For a fitting climax, Borah booted over a forty-yard drop kick in the last few seconds. November 20. W. M. A. 22 St. Louis U. High 0 For the sixth time in eight games Western let her opponents down without a point. Borah and Mittendorf played their usual stellar game. November 25. W. M. A. 0 Alton 0 Alton put up a plucky battle to hold the handicapped Western team to a scoreless tie. Torres, Martinez, J-, and Rohlfing were the stars of the game. The wonderful success of the season of 1926 is testimony enough in behalf of the fine playing, sportsmanship and spirit of the entire team and this success likewise testifies to the caliber of Major Garetson’s coaching. May Murphy, next year’s captain, be the leader of another championship eleven. mb mil arm il 1 minin Page Seventy-nine uu 1 Utt am mt tua | i , flr, ( i THE RECALL 1927 Top Row — Capt.

However, misfortune in various forms made the season an erratic one. Exams, injuries and the age limit did their share in handicapping the success of the team. The team opened the season with six consecutive victories. St. Louis U. High, who proved to be the league champions, gave the team their first setback. Principia, the outstanding team in the St. Louis district followed this with a crushing 42 to 12 defeat. Western came back and left the small end of a 53-13 count for Country Day. This game marked the end of Higgin’s all-around fine work for Western in the Prep League, due to the age limit ruling. The Alton DeMolays next avenged an earlier Western victory by a 26 to 15 score. The Red and Blue five dropped out of the running for the champion ' ship when they lost a close, well played game to St. Louis U. High. Though the team put up a great fight in this game, the ambitious aspirants for the Prep League honors were not to be denied. Principia again proved their superiority in a fast game on the home floor. The season was closed with a defeat at the hands of Christian Brothers College. Francisco, the team captain, was an outstanding man in every game. His speed and experience helped to make him a capable leader on the floor. Janovsky also played a consistently strong game all season. Though Higgins and Deimling were out part of the season, their playing was always praise- worthy. Next year’s team will have Deimling and Challis as a nucleus and from what Western knows of Captain Holmes ' work, the team will be the best that good coaching can produce.

Kerckhoff D. tackled a Principia man after he had passed the safety to save the day. Francisco played well on the attack. One of the most noticeable things about the second team is the quality of material coming up for the first team in 1927. Bishop, Kerckhoff D„ Kerckhoff A., Watson, Smiley, Deimling and Bates will form a foundation for building a great first team. Conrad, McWilliams and Walters will be remembered for their consistent playing. “Another Holmes coached team” accounts in large measure for the unusual record of the “Seconds” of 1926. « ' ill M MHl HH Page Eighty-two mill THE RECALL 1927 £ Top Row — Renfrew, Mindel, Healey, Getzelman.

Second Basketball C7 n WILE the second team of 1926-27 did not win a majority of their games, consolation can be lOJ found in the close scores of some of the encounters. The team includes several men who should be good first team material in 1928. Smiley, Bishop, and Renfrew should be valuable additions next year. Captain Droste, as the coach of the second team, has filled very capably a position that was slighted last year.

The best swimmers in this club made up the swimming team. Mantz, Boardman, McKnight and Spencer, members of last year ' s swimming team were the outstanding performers in the meets held this season. The first meet on January 25 resulted in a 49 to 20 defeat at the hands of Principia’s strong squad. Boardman and Spencer won their events. Principia gave us another trimming 44 to 25 on February 12. The result of this meet depended on the final event, the relay, in which Principia took all places. Boardman, Mantz and Spencer were the winners for Western. The highlight of the meet was the record of 60 feet in 23 seconds made by Spencer in the plunge. it ffi it m nm i Page Eighty-four m i m Wk m 4MB { ffll A ® ATO, a5t. ffl A THE RECALL 1927 Cole, Drever, B., Meek, Drever, M.

In order to carry on more efficiently, the Federal Government has detailed a representative army officer here. It is his duty to supervise all military instruction. Besides this the Academy has been furnished with a splendid and expensive equipment.

It has distinguished itself in the Academic department by being Honor Company for the six weeks’ period ending December 18, 1926. The company has also been well represented on the school athletic teams. Lieuts.
