History jjwl LTON, ILLINOIS, is located about twenty-five miles north WW of St. Louis. Missouri, on the hills that slope gently down to the eastern edge of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1817, Alton seemed at one time to have possibilities of sur- MM passing the French settlement at St. Louis in wealth and population; for the people were industrious and the sur- 1 rounding country was rich and fertile. The Mississippi furnished an avenue of trade to and from the North and the South. Settlers came from both sections. They were naturally divided in their opinions on slavery. Here Lovejoy launched a campaign for universal emancipation, but he soon came to a violent death. On the site of the present city hall. Lincoln and Douglas met in the bitterness of debate. Parts of the walls of the prison that was used for Confederate soldiers still remain. After the close of the Civil War, Alton continued to grow, but not as rapidly as St. Louis. Letters were no longer addressed to “St. Louis. Mo., near Alton. 111.’’ Still, many people came and made homes for themselves in the vicinity or in the town proper. Among these was a gentleman by the name of Bostwick. He had an ambition to establish a pleasing country home. With this object in view he purchased some one hundred and sixty acres about two miles north of the Mississippi River. His choice was a very happy one. The land was rolling, very productive, and possessed of great natural beauty. Orchards were planted, roads were laid out, and in 1832 a country mansion and accessory buildings were constructed on a magnificent scale. Much of the building material was handmade and brought overland from points as distant as Pittsburgh. Pa. This is especially true of the wrought iron front fence which was erected in 1835. The cornerstone at the northwest corner of the Admini- stration Building formerly was a part of the foundation of Bostwick ' s residence. But when his plans had been accomplished only in part. Mr. Bostwick died, leaving his estate to his family. It continued in their possession until 1855 when it was sold. From then on it changed hands frequently, sometimes serving as a school and sometimes merely as a residence. History N 1879, Dr. Edward Wyman, long and favorably known as one of the foremost educators of St. Louis, Missour i, pur- chased the Bostwick Place” for the purpose of making it a home school for boys. He made extensive improvements in the building and opened the school in the fall of that year under the name of Wyman Institute. The school prospered under his sole administration until his death in 1888. The spirit and reputation of the institution were carried on during the next four years by Mrs. Edward Wyman. She was ably assisted by Albert M. Jackson, who had served under Dr. Wyman since 1 885, and a second resident instructor, George D. Eaton, who was added to the staff in 1889. The property known as “Wyman Institute” was sold in 1892 by Mrs. Wyman to Willis Brown, a retired banker of Lawrence, Kansas. During his four years of ownership new buildings were erected, nearly doubling the size of the school, and all appointments were modernized. The name of the institution was changed to the Western Military Academy. Both Federal and State governments gave material evidence of their support. The State made the Western Military Academy a post of the Illinois National Guard and the members of the faculty were thereafter commissioned on the staff of the governor with various ranks. Albert M. Jackson continued through this period as princ ipal and George D. Eaton as his first assistanTT - — ■ In 1896 the ownership passed into the hands of Albert M. Jackson and George D. Eaton. Colonel Jackson continued as president of the academy until his death in 1919, since which time Colonel Eaton has occupied this position. The entire plant was destroyed by fire in 1903 and was at once replaced by the first of the present group of fireproof buildings which now house the school. More buildings were added as the school grew, and at the end of this long period of successful administration, the modern Western Military Academy was emerged, with an enrollment of 300 instead of 30, and with a complete set of fireproof buildings instead of remodeled dwellings, and with a national reputation instead of a local one. - § ► dllp History OLONEL R. L. JACKSON, the son of Colonel A. M. Jackson, a graduate of the school, also of Princeton Uni- versity, and a member of the faculty since 1911, became the principal in 1919. The school continued to enjoy pros- perity. more buildings were added, and still higher standards were set and achieved in academic and military departments. In 1925, Colonel Eaton was relieved of much detail work. Colonel Jackson became the superintendent, and Major R. E Wilkinson became the principal. Major Wilkinson had served as head of the Mathematical Department for twenty-three years and is well qualified in training and experience for his present responsibilities. Major R. S. Eaton is the registrar and a member of the present administrative group. He graduated from Western in 1916, later from Harvard University, and joined the faculty as instructor in mathematics in 1922. Since 1922. Western has embarked upon a very pronounced building and improvement program. During 192V24, Barracks E was constructed. A fireproof building, made of stone and brick, and containing thirty-four rooms and two officers suites, has provided excellent standard equipment as well as a very suitable place for the science department. The entire basement of the building has been equipped into a very modern science laboratory. In September, 1927, work was begun on the new athletic field. Named in honor of the President of Western, Colonel Eaton, the field is considered to be one of the finest in this part of the country. On commencement day, June, 1928, Eaton Field was formally dedicated. With the dawn of 1929 came the policy of making a fiftieth anniversary memorial to the progress of a half century of Western activities and growth. T he new addition to “C” Barracks added greatly to the comforts of the cadets and the up-to-date equipment of the school. The erection of a new addition to the drill hall has enhanced greatly the facilities for social, athletic and dramatic possibilities. The proposed memorial gateway, a testimonial to the labors and work of Colonel A. M. Jackson and to the men who served during the great war, gives evidence of the marked improvements which the last few years have wrought. With these lasting proofs of progress one well remembers that . . .

Thirty -six The Class of 1929 A CAREER at Western, all too short, has inspired in us a deep reverence and a true respect for the institution whose heritage we claim. During our past four years, we have noticed Western enter upon the new epoch of service. Fifty years of growth and development have been hers. We are happy that good fortune has granted us the opportunity of being the graduating class of her Fiftieth Anniversary.

It is now the seventy-fifth anniversary of our old school and, reasonably enough, it would hardly do to say that any of our class remains so now, that I have finished my business life to my satisfaction. I feel that I can relate what has been done during the year 1954. After “enthus- ing ' ’ Bob Smiley and Jimmie Dobyne, the famous flying aces in the Chinese- American war, in my project, we left to find what was left of our old class of ’29. We departed from St. Louis in a hundred-passenger tri-motored passen- ger plane for Chicago and after ridi ng for about fifteen minutes on the plane in the deep comfortable seats, we suddenly heard a voice that was familiar to all of us and as we turned we beheld the impressive countenance of I. B. Blumenthal, who was shouting “Last call fo’ dinner, and at the same time explaining a menu to an old lady. We, rushing forward, embraced him wildly and asked him for his life story, but he said there was no story — it was all a sad memory. We listened sympathetically as he related how he had failed as a shoe salesman when Jack K. Hecht. one of our old class, invented a tireless roller skate for every-day use. Inquiring of Tony Voss, our old class treasurer, I was told that he was now the vice-president and treasurer of the Bloch-Voss Jewelry and Stationery Co., and from what we know of their work, the company should be able to pay high dividends. When we arrived in Chicago, we stayed at the Ritz- Bordeau hotel, the new ten-million-dollar edifice in the metropolis. As we turned to go to our rooms, we heard our names called by no other than “Rog Davenport, who is widely known as the syncopation king and whose jazz orchestra, the “Peoria Melody Knights. is considered the best. Abbot Sherwood. Dale Moody and Skippy Thompson. Chicago racketeers, were found in the audience, enjoying a brief sojourn from hot lead. Brash, ole sonny himself, came forth in his shining “tux and we thought another busi- ness king was humbling our presence, but he calmly greeted us and said, Your order, please.” However, it was only a joke, as he turned out to be the manager of the hotel. After spending a joyful evening in Chicago, we slipped away to Elgin, of which Chicago is now a suburb, to locate “Buzz Lowrie and persuade him to join our journey — we succeeded in finding him — the world famous authority on religion and morals and also editor of the intellectual guide, the Elgin Herald. Mr. Lowrie. having enjoyed life to a large extent, decided to go with us and search for our class. ( ( l l i l l l I i I 1 Sixty-three SSfeMECAIILlIL 1929 That afternoon we saw a baseball game between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals — Andros was catcher for the Cubs and Parker was short- stop for the Cardinals. From here, we continued our trip to New York where we failed to see anyone until we were given a ticket, by Murphy, for speeding and then appeared before Circuit Judge Harms for our sentence. Of course, he remembered us and let us out of our sentence because he had been an especially good friend of ours at school. Gee, those were good old days- we have to work so hard now — Marks is straining his vocal cords with the New York grand opera and Pollack is perfectly satisfied as postmaster general” of New York State. Schwartz, a former police commissioner in Chicago, has been promoted to Police Beard president of New York City. Wade was leaving New York the day we arrived to train for his coming race with Naavo Purmi. the great 440-meter runner. Weiss is on his seventh tour of the world, acting as counselor for New Zealand and Australia. Rodenburg is the editor of the foremost aerial paper, the Air Dispatch. Burnstine is now the president of the Commission on Suppressing of Evil in the Malay Peninsula. After garnering” this information from Harms and Murphy, we left for Europe in hope of finding some of our buddies over there. We arrived in London, where we learned all the tricks of the trade in the get-rich-quick system which was so popular in the States about thirty years ago. One of the most prominent of these salesmen was J. R. Johnston, who dealt in life insur- ance and also had a Buick agency. At the same time, we found out that we were more nobly represented by Edw. Burnstine, who had uniquely delivered a speech on the suppression of evil. After these incidents, since the time grew heavy on our hands over there, we left for the States and continued straight through to California, but while in Colorado, our train hit a gasoline speed truck and demolished it badly. When we viewed the wreck, we noticed a sign on the side, Harvey G. Schaub — Gasoline, so we asked the driver where the wholesale plant was and we ran to a farmer and persuaded him to take us there. We found Schaub in his new miilion-dollar plant and, after an exchange of greetings, he took us over to the house where we met his wife and his sons. Sixty-four ellHlllECAllLJIL 1929 Itl- After a little visit we continued our trip. When we arrived in Los Angeles. Dobyne suggested we go to Hollywood and look up some of our old class sheiks. We succeeded in finding Edwards and Stuart in the song and dance number, in which they call themselves Fish and Felix. Summers is instructor in the aviation school for actors: those actors pay lost fortunes to learn to fly. Mills, the Government Game Inspector of Colorado, has a valuable assistant in Houlle, who we all remember because of his horn. Niemann has a monkey farm in Colorado— the project seems to suit Jack fine. He was so overjoyed to see us that he presented us with a cute little monkey whom he had named after Sonny Brash in remembrance of their good times Fowler has continued his brilliant work in the business world and his chain of cocoanut stores surpass any other in the country. Templeton is also successful as a manufacturer of sea sleds. On our return from the west coast, where the sun has too much rouge, we stopped at Miami. Oklahoma, and saw Dale Moody, who had returned from Chicago. Jarrett was overwhelmed with work and could just spare a minute to talk with us because there was another boom for artificial rubber. We returned home and found Fred Stock conducting a school for girls — sort of a finishing school where they learned to fly and indulged in strenuous athletics. Fletcher has turned out well and now is well-known as a coming billiard champion. Maule. well established as a merchant, is a dealer in live stock and packing wholesale meats. We did not have to search for Red ' ' Smith, as he is the lightweight champion of the world and his visits to St. Louis are frequent. In spite of his fame, his welcome to us is always long and sincere. Heyne is not doing so well — his business with China in the frozen mill products brought to an abrupt halt when the war began, has been picking up. but is not yet satisfactory. Fulmer, the head of a publishing firm, has a market in every quarter of the globe. We also received some distressing notes concerning some of our classmates, but we arc certain they are not authentic. However, being highly satisfied in finding over one-fourth of our old class, we decided to resume our search another year. By the way. I have a bond business with 12 per cent interest. Come on in and we ll talk it over.

O. 70, War Department, Nov. 18, 1913: By the term Honor Graduate ' is understood a graduate whose attainments in scholarship have been so marked as to receive the approbation of the president of the school, and whose proficiency in military training and knowl- edge and intelligent attention to duty have merited the approbation of the professor of military science and tactics.” Government Inspection Intercompany I ' rack Baseball 1928 Track 1928 The Dedication of Eaton Field The Senior Play of 1928 Commencement 1928 The Honor Men of 1928 Seventy-seven government Inspection O N March 22nd of last year a notice was received by the P. M. S. and T. that Western had earned the distinction of being one of the schools to be inspected by the War Department. The date for this inspection was set for May 5 th. The War Department Board of Inspectors was composed of Major Bone- steel and Major O ' Brien. After a brief visit with Colonel Jackson the inspectors started the inspection of the day. Major Bcnesteel started at A” Barracks and Major O ' Brien started at E Barracks. The condition of the barracks was excellent and reflected the amount of work put on them before the final day. After this inspection the corps was formed for physical drill in gym shirts and white ducks. As soon as the uniform could be changed to fatigue trousers and gray shirts the corps turned out for a review and inspection in full field equipment. Following this. A Company pitched tents while B and C gave an exhibition of close and extended order drill. At 11:30 a formal guard mount ceremony with band was held. B” Company was divided into old and new guard and distinguished themselves in this phase of training. At 12 o’clock noon mess was eaten, after which the corps changed from white ducks and fatigue blouses to fatigue trousers and gray shirts. Classes were inspected at this time in mostly practical demonstration work. Just before the close of the classes two companies were ordered to form for field work and left with the inspecting officers for a field problem. In spare moments the officers had inspected the classroom facilities, storage rooms, armory, and drill hall. The two companies having returned from the field a dress parade with white ducks was held. This parade was followed by the silent manual which received a tremendous ovation. The inspectors then left and although they said nothing they seemed favorably impressed by the school and the corps of cadets. Then it came. At the commencement exercises Colonel Jackson announced that he had received a telegram from the War Department congratulating this school for having made the roll of honor schools of this country. The telegram was given to Captain Watson in recognition of his faithful service and hard work in preparing the corps for the inspection. Y SfeMlIECAllLE 3929 ' Q-y Inter Company Track Meet Won By “A” Company T HE inter-company track meet, which was held just before Easter, opened the eyes of many. Along with it some new material was found. 1 his meet was one of the most successful of any of the inter-company meets ever held It also was the first meet to be held on the new Eaton Field. “A Company turned the trick and walked away with the points. 1 he closest company to them was C, with 34 points. 1 his was exactly I 2 markers behind “A Company. “D was next in line with 27 points. B Company took the tail-end. getting only 1 5 points. Fisher was high-point man in the meet, making three first for 15 points. He made a first in the high hurdles, low hurdles and broad jump. 1 empleton was second, dragging down two firsts. He made them in the mile and in the 880 Davenport and Tinsley tied for third with nine points apiece. The following are the results of the meet: 100-YARD Dash — First. Davenport. Tinsley, tie: third.

Mantz. Smiley. Lane. Mindel. Andros. A LONG with the first sign of spring came the first bascbal! practice under the able supervision of Captain Holmes. It was found that the team was going to be made up of practically all new material. Using what few experienced men he had. the coach built up a team that showed real Western fight. In spite of the fact that they were on the lesser side of the scoring they were always willing to put all they had into the game for their school. Much credit should go to Captain Holmes, as he made a real team out of raw material. Smiley, playing his third year at baseball, was elected captain by his teammates and, by th e end of the season, he had proved his ability at this position. I MtllECAIILlIL 1929 Baseball April 18 — W. M. A. 4, McKfndref 8 The season was opened with a defeat handed to Western by McKendree It was probably due to Western ' s loose hitting, although Smiley showed excellent form in several of his catches. April 25- W. M. A. 12. Country Day 5 The team showed a flash of the old glory by winning the league opener with a margin of seven points. Every man was playing to the best of his ability, while Murphy, the old reliable, knocked out a home run. April 28— W. M. A. 2. C. B. C. 1 1 Western was far away from the class of ball they had played the previous week. Undoubtedly it was an off day for every member of the team, as none of them played to the extent of which they were capable. May 1— W. M. A. 7. McBride 12 In finishing the first round of baseball competition. Western lost to McBride. Although our team was beaten they played a good game. Murphy did some real hitting, while Sada performed remarkably well at the hurling position. MAY 9--W. M A. 16. Chaminade 14 Western won their first game with Chaminade by a close score. T he high number of runs was due to the large amount of errors. Moody showed excellent pitching form, and Captain Smiley played a good, steady game. May 12 — W. M. A. 9, Country Day 2 For the second time Western ' s nine met and defeated Country Day. With this victory our team was now past the .500 mark after spending some time below this point. The result of this game put new fight into the team. May 19— W M A. 4. McBride 5 This game proved to be the most exciting of the season as the score indicates. The usual seven-inning game was not sufficient to settle the dispute between these two teams. Because of a tie the game continued for an extra inning. May 26 — W. M. A. 12. Chaminade 3 Captain Smiley led his teammates into the final game of the year against Chaminade. which resulted in a victory for our team. As it was the last game of the season everv man was out to do his best and they did. T he season was brought to a close with an excellent display of baseball by every member of the team.

As this was our first meet and the team was composed of practically all new material, we were handicapped as our opponents had many veteran men. But in spite of this, our team showed up well in all the events and that with a little more help from our able track coach. Captain Droste. we would have a real team. If the watches were correct Tinsley made the 30-yard dash in record time. Temple- ton won his two events while Davenport showed plenty of speed. Eighty-two Dfie RE CAL IIL 1920 April 21 — W. M. A. 93, Alton 29 The Red and Blue came back from their defeat and swamped Alton by the wide margin of 64 points. Every man was on his toes showing all he possibly had. Alton obtained only two firsts. Davenport ran the dashes in the best time shown so far during the year. In the 220 he again showed his speed while Abt and Brash were right at his heels. The team now exposed the fact they were going to put in their bid for the league championship. April 25 — W. M. A. 91. Granite City 39 The result of this meet proved that their ability shown last week had not been instantaneous. Western outclassed their opponents throughout the meet. Templeton, as per usual, took his two events with the best time he has shown this year. LEAGUE TRACK MEET May 1 2 W. M. A. 73, Country Day 46 Principia 18, John Burroughs 9 With this victory things began to look exceedingly bright for the Prep League championship. The Westernites scored as many points themselves as the other three teams together, which is no mean feat. The toughest break in the day came when Brash lost the shot-put event by a half inch, but the distance was near to record breaking. This meet was the first of the new league of which our school is a member. May 19 — W. M. A. 87, Principia 35 Western ' s team swept through this entire meet with every first place with the exception of one event. The winning of this meet brought back the Western-Principia trophy which had been away for quite a long time. Tinsley equaled the school record in the 100-yard dash while Dan Kerckhoff, the captain of the team, performed the same feat in the low hurdles. May 24 — Prep League Meet The fourth annual Prep League track meet resulted with Western as runners-up. losing first place to St. Louis University High by the close margin of seven points. Six of the league records were broken at this meet and two of them by Western men. Dan Kerckhoff. the captain, cut down the low hurdles time by four-tenths of a second. The other new record that Western captured was in the relay. Abt. Derris, Davenport and Tinsley, who composed the relay team, bettered the old record by four-tenths of a second. As a result of this victory by St. Louis U. High, the Lane trophy goes to them for the second time and they only need it once more to gain it permanently. l dlBRUECAIILIL 1929 ID- The Pageant and Dedication of Eaton Field T HE year 1928 marked one of the most outstanding events that has ever happened at Western. On the fifth of June, Eaton Field, in honor of Col. Eaton, was dedicated. To celebrate this event of events, a military pageant, the first ceremony on the new field, was held. I he pageant depicted the history of Illinois from Indian times to the World War. 1 his was followed by the last parade of 1928 — and the first parade on the new field. PERSONNEL Prologue A.

There were several lettermen back from the former year around which Coach Garetson built his team The Red and Blue never showed its real fight and ability till they played their last game against their local opponents whom they completely swamped. In spite of hard breaks, Western ended up in the Prep League by taking first honors by percentage and tying up by the Lane Trophy ruling. As a result of this, the winning of the league title does not count in the winning of the trophy. Andros, elected captain, ably handled this position which was placed on him by his team-mates.

Silva showed some real football by returning the punts a good number of yards, while Brash, in the line, played a nice game. Hundred -□ elllMECAIILIIL 1929 1 ) Prep League Football October 12 — W. M. A. 0, Cleveland 12 The first setback was handed to Western by one of the most powerful teams in St. Louis, namely. Cleveland. Although our team put up a real fight, the opponents came through with two touchdowns Derris played his regular game by getting down under the punts before the ball got there. Hesley showed wonderful form in his kicking. October 20 — W. M. A. 0. Principia 0 Perhaps this game was the hardest-fought of the entire season. Neither team would give in and both were playing real football. As a result, the game ended in a scoreless tie. as neither team would let the other show any superiority. Smiley was the principal man on the offensive. October 26 — W. M. A. 6, C. B. C. 6 The Western team did not seem up to their actual playing ability and lacked the drive and fight they had shown in their former games. Although our team outclassed the C. B. C. team throughout the battle, we put up a real fight and the game ended in a tie. Hirschfield did some nice work in returning the punts, while Davenport showed his sprinting ability in his wide end runs. November 2 — W. M. A. 9, McBride 0 With this victory Western was in line for the Prep League honors. I he sensational moment of this game came when Johnston grabbed a fumble and sprinted eighty yards for a touchdown. Smiley made a beautiful field goal irom the 26-yard line. Andros, the captain, played a nice game at the end position. November 10 — W. M. A. 0, St. Louis U. High 0 Although the game ended in a scoreless tie. Western, throughout the entire game, showed its superiority. Hesley was the principal yard gainer of the game, while Houlle and Brash did their good work on the defensive. 1 ractically every man in the line played his best game. November 17 — W. M. A. 0. Principia 6 It was a tough game for both teams, but Principia seemed to get the breaks and as a result the game ended with the opponents on top of the scoring. 1 he punting was hindered by a strong breeze, keeping the kicks from averaging more than ten yards. Thompson and Hirschfeld both showed up well all through the game. November 29 — W. M. A. 37, Alton 0 Western ' s old rivals were defeated by the largest score ever run up against them by a Red and Blue team in any of the previous years. 1 hree different teams were used against the Altonites and even the little B class team scored a touchdown on the local opponents. All three teams played the best football they had executed through the entire season It was especially noticeable in the playing of the Prep team as it was the last game in prep school— for many ot them and for Western.

I N spite of the hard luck that jogged along at the heels of the basketeers throughout the entire season, they had quite a successful year in one sense. If a team is not capable of winning a championship it can at least perform in a sportsmanlike type of play, which our team exhibited in very excellent manner. This fact was so noticeable at Canton that the spectators even commented upon it. Captain Brash led his team into their games to win if possible, but only in a fair, sportsmanlike way. and if they lost they were the best of losers. When the “plebes became eligible, a new team appeared on the roster and they looked as though by next year they would be a championship team. We wish them the best of luck in 1929-30.

The Cadets seemed to be overflowing with the necessary fight and pep that they had formerly lacked. It was undoubtedly due to the fact that it was their last game.

To this squad goes much praise for their very successful season. Meier at left end captained the team in such a faultless manner that we only hope ' ole ' ' Bill will be back with us next year on the varsity. From end to end this line was composed of aggressive and ' never-say-die men. The back field, composed of some of the very best men, was one of the best back fields ever produced by Capt. Holmes. Calhoun, A. Miller and N. Smith carried the brunt of the attack, while W. Smith at quarterback did all the kicking and passing in fine style, as well as guiding the team with real generalship.

Holmes, also Prep Squad Coach, these men were able to gain the experi- ence necessary to make them champions in their class. They not only gained experience but afforded wonderful opposition for the varsity.” Jerry Hirschfield, captain of the A’s , was a very capable leader, always full of fight and ginger.” Schmidt and Craycroft took good care of the forward positions on both offense and defense. Very seldom did Ole Lon Niehaus come up against a man that could out-jump him at center. H. Dreimeier was Hirsch- field’s running mate at guard. The Prep” team next year will receive some valuable material from these men and may each fit in next year on his team as well as he did this year.

With a background such as they received under Capt. Droste. they can be nothing else but real football players as they grow older and larger in their final two years at Western. Fulmer, the proud captain of the “B” team, was stationed at quarterback and filled this coveted position favorably.

Baker, they have attained a record of which they are proud. Fulmer, at center, was of great assistance to his forwards on the offense and his guards on defense. Funsch. at standing guard, seldom allowed an opponent to slip by him for a set-up. Altman played a steady game at left forward and did his share, if not more, in scoring. Capt. Droste developed not only five men to bring him a championship, as a reward for his faithful coaching, but a squad of fifteen men. These men were taught the fundamentals that are absolutely necessary to become real players. In the years to come they need not worry about small things but need strive only for perfection.

The fact that they were weighed by every one of their opponents makes their record more striking. The Red Devils.” called so because of their bright red jerseys, gave a wonderful exhibit of good coaching. The Devils played real modern football, even going beyond the other teams in school with their trick plays and passes. Praise should be given Captain Butler for his all around playing. Skillern at quarter and Cohen at fullback show signs of becoming football stars. The line, light but furious, did good work in breaking up plays as well as getting down fast under punts.

The appreciation of the faculty and the corps for the worth-while entertainment indicates the high type of talent presented. On December 11th, Mrs. Rhea MacAdams, assisted by Miss Fanny Keller, entertained the corps with a group of readings. Mrs. MacAdams, an instructor in dramatics and public speaking at Monticello Seminary, is a reader of unusual ability. Miss Keller was well received as a pianist. The program given was: Rhf.a MacAdams IN READING CHARACTERIZATIONS Fanny Keller at the Piano The Happy Prince Rhea MacAdams Rigaudon Country Gardens Oscar Wilde MacDowell Grainger Fanny Keller Mrs. Dilk and Son Lunching at the Cafeteria, Irene Franklin Home Work ' Cornelia Skinner Rhf.a MacAdams January 1 5th, Kenneth Rousch. assistant line coach at the University of Chicago, gave a very interesting as well as helpful talk on sportsmanship. 1 he George Washington birthday celebration included a concert given by the Filipino Orchestra. Native as well as popular selections composed an excel- lent program. Lieutenant Kehoe, a member of the Marine Corps, and an aid to Colonel Lindbergh on his air tour of the United States, addressed the members of the academy, March 14th. His discussion of the present and future conditions of aviation was highly educational. 4L The last number on the lecture program came on March 23. Bennett J. Doty, a foreign member of the Foreign Legion, the army of living death, gave the most graphic portrayal of the experiences and adventures encountered in the service. The originality, together with the unusualness of the subject, made him an impressionable speaker. One Hundred Thirty-eight Alpha Delta, W. M.

Niemann was given the award of adjutant. Dobyne followed later by success- fully filling the rank of cadet captain. Hightower was given the position of the highest ranking first sergeant. Darner blew his way to a sergeancy in the band, while the other eligible men, Comins, Bruno, Martin and Johnston held down offices as corporal in the order named. On this year ' s rifle team we were repre- sented by Comins, Derris and Dobyne (captain). All in all. the military record established by this fraternity is one of which we should be proud, as well as one which we should maintain. ACADEMIC Phi Delta has been represented on the Honor Roll by Hightower, Martin, Bruno and Rossborough. Hightower, Martin and Niemann represented up on the Upper Ten. ATHLETICS During the football season, Phi Delta was represented on the Prep team by Jimmie Derris, all league center, and Bruno and Johnston. Under the capable coaching of Captain Holmes and his Class A team Rossborough. Dye, Niemann and Niehaus upheld the fraternity standard, while Hightower played a good game as a back on the “B class team. After the pigskins were packed away, basketball season started, and Phi Delta came through with flying colors playing Bruno, Derris and Johnston on the Prep basketball squad. On the A team Neihaus and Dye upheld Phi Delta. Then Red Martin supported the C team by being high point ace for the Demintmen. Bruno recently was elected next year ' s basketball captain. On the swimming team. Phi Delta placed Rossborough and Darner, the captain-elect, for the coming swimming season. Last year Phi Delta was represented on the track team by Niemann and Davenport. No doubt they will show up very well this year. SUMMARY Throughout the entire year. Phi Delta has been active in every project that has been placed before them. This is a record for the chapter of next year to aim at and even try to better. Therefore, we, James Bell Dobyne II, Walter Rossborough, Herbert Niemann and J. R. Johnston, take this space to wish the coming officers and members, whom we have spent the past year with, every success in aspiring and bettering the record of fraternal brotherhood which we have done our best to set as an example.

Back of the keenest pleasures of the table. says he. whether in sauce, in a salad or a cup of coffee, lies always the work of some talented person who has joined taste with taste as a composer joins note with note in working out his harmonies. Numberless people who know the fine points of good living have long since set a high value on this art of blending — and perhaps in coffee most of all. With hundreds of grades and kinds of coffee on the market, the discriminating public singles out one brand that combines many mingled natural flavors. And to such coffee this often styled fickle ' ' public is never fickle. Once such satisfaction in coffee is found, they stay with the same blend year after year. It is not for those who are now content with a coffee they have searched for and finally found, that we mention Dining Car Coffee, but rather for those who. still search- ing. have never yet found their perfect blend There are thousands of people who all their hves have been drinking coffee made elsewhere without even giving a trial to a much better flavored blend made at home. We do not urge that you at once desert your present coffee. What we do say is that in all fairness you should try. for at least a week. Dining Car coffee, a product of the Norwine Coffee Co. We venture to predict that if you do so. many of you will demand nothing else from now on For the writer it is Dining Car coffee, always. — Ed. Carondelet News. From Nonvine Coffee Co. Si.
