T wen ty- two The Class of 1930 D URING the years of our association with the Academy, we have, doubtlesss, been impressed with the fact not only that high school days are a prepara- tion for life, but they are life itself. It is probable, members of the class of 1930, that your position in the world in relat ion to other men will be similar to that which you have maintained toward your classmates in school. If you have been faithful, reliable, and earnest in all you have done in school, and have invariably chosen the right ends and the right means to accomplish these ends, it is likely that this will be characteristic of your lives after you have left school.

I ' d rather think it just farewell. For how can life be stopped by depth of sod ? Nay. I believe he walks in highest Heaven. Through cloudless valleys, hand in hand with God.’’ January 25, 1 955 Western Military Academy, Alton, Illinois Dear Sirs: Twenty-five long years ago I left Western, as my Alma Mater, and now that dear old, well-remembered class of 1930 is spread all over the world. F or the past year I have been collecting news concerning the graduating class of a quarter of a century ago and I will do my best to relate to you, in a brief way, the results of my quest. On page three of a local paper I found the advertisement Money to Loan,” and who should be the manager of this Building and Loan Association” but Bill MacDonald. On the same page I noticed that the Taylor fcf Mahan Co. Inc., of Arkansas” had recently made a fortune selling swamp land to fish that would bite their lines. I also noticed that Bill Swaine was Master of Ceremonies at the Fox Theater in St. Louis where Max Mitchell, the Per- sonality Boy, is giving his audience their money’s worth. I then found in a Kansas City paper that Herbie Bullene had opened a magnificent barber shop and beauty shop and Boyd had come all the way from Paducah, Kentucky, to help him with the latest hair styles. Bob Baker was playing at Loew’s last week drumming his drummiest. He has achieved quite a name in the musical world. Lukeman and Comins were playing their ill-bred farmer act at the same show and in spite of their jokes the show was a wow.” I went to Kansas City personally to see these classmates once again and as I got on the subway who should be the noble, distinguished conductor but our old friend Schlueter. On the same car I found Bill Hansen, a progressive salesman for beauty rest mattresses. 1 he newspapers were giving me such an ever increasing amount of news concerning our class of ' 30 that I resolved to try to call on each one of my ex-classmates personally. Travelling thru the state of Illinois I found Peavler the mayor of a one-horse town in the center of the state. He had acquired Phil Rothstein, from some source or other, and had him as his lone deputy sheriff. Phil never caught anything — not even a cold itself, Peavler says. Whitcy Smith and Joe Bruno were athletic coaches at Illinois, I was informed, so I immediately set out to call upon them. As soon as I arrived on the campus I ran into Schellenberg, chemistry professor. ( And a dern good ' un, too,” so Waldo Comins told me.) Bailey was attending school there at the uni- versity: he was Sophomore class president. I then went to Chicago where Western was so well represented. I will enumerate our ex-cadets as briefly as possible because I know that with a school of twelve hundred cadets you haven’t all the time in the world to be reading letters from just a plain old “grad.” Arsht was selling pin hole cameras but his business isn’t very thriving, he said. If business doesn t pick up he threatens to join Rosenberg and Moose Williams in the Loan Shop work which they have so diligently undertaken. On the top story of Chicago’s new 132 story building the offices of Tidwell « Craig, M. Ds.’ were prominently located. They have been the outstanding men in Who’s Who in American Medicine for the past twelve years. Roy Beckmann is a prominent city official in Chicago. (Fire chief. I believe.) Poor old Homer Campbell is still in the army. He has been in foreign service for several years. Speaking of armies, Sada is major-general in the Mexican army, and Jimenez is playing a piccolo in the Mexican National Band. T he most amusing thing I saw in Chicago was Price. Seymour was in cahoots with a privately owned kindergarten, and when he wasn ' t teaching the children the A, B, Cs he was cutting paper dolls and making funny faces to amuse his little associates. He has a winning way and he will succeed in this world. It is that same winning | THE RECALL- 1930 way that has placed Dago DiMartino so high in the world. He has a very fluctuating fortune down in Monte Carlo. I was told that Miller was racking balls in a billiard parlor, but not finding him in my tour I couldn t verify any such statement. Don Glabman was fiddling around in any orchestra where he could hold his position. I spent such a long time in Chicago that I found it necessary to crowd myself into one of the hourly 200 passenger planes that flew from Chicago to St. Louis to get to the last mentioned place in the one remaining hour before dinner time. John” Gilbert knew I was to be in town that evening and he asked me to dine with him at one of his numerous clubs. You know John is quite the clubman of the country now. After dinner we drove out by Floyd Stough ' s house. Floyd wanted me to meet his wife and family. He is still “a gay dog.” By the way, our old friend Iggy Hamlin is a well known veterinary now and A1 Hesley is one of Dr. Hamlin s most valued assistants. Vic” Hightower is doing a thriving business down on his Ozark farm. He says that the high price of carrots this year is causing him quite a bit of trouble. Victor has hired Bob Hardy to shoot snakes that molest the chickens in the barnyard. Draper and Woodward have a monopoly on the tobacco market now and they have made a fortune on their stale tobacco. Craycroft has taken over Monticcllo Seminary at Godfrey and the school is doing nicely, thank you. Robb was hurt badly in a football game recently and is spending t he winter in Arizona recuperating. Ziegler, Altman, and Fernholz are playing football in the Big Ten. Sweet, having always looked well in his uniform, is a doorman at a small moving picture palace. Red” Sullivan is now Camp Director for the Camp Fire Girls of Michigan. Cassett and Dyer of Kansas City are doing the rounds of the country. Cassett is one of the most popular tennis st3rs of the United States After my trip thru the Middle West 1 decided to go to California and see the men who took the advice Go West young man. go West! Our old friends Cooper and Jacobberger were doing a contortion act at one of the outstanding theaters in Hollywood. Niehaus has made the world forget that there ever was a Lon Chaney: Stumpf has taken Valentino ' s place in the movie world: Stock is a close rival of Lloyd Hamilton, and Eckardt is doing well in Our Gang Comedies.” Doc” Darner and J. R. Johnston are playing saxophones in Paul Whiteman ' s orchestra. Katz is a high-powered bond salesman: John Heydt is selling hamburgers in Los Angeles: Mead and Cook are selling 3% beer on the Pacific coast: Rutledge is taking tin-types: Morcom is still filling the world brim-full of poetry; Hollman is editing almanacs; Skillern is zoo keeper in San Jose; and Karraker has a sheep herder ' s camp in the West. Hursey is a night watchman at a foundry in St. Louis, so I am told. On my return to the central portion of the United States I found Jacobs acting as a guide thru the Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Young was out prospecting for another garden nearby but at the time I am writing this he hasn ' t found anything but a clover patch, on Martin ' s 3-acre farm in the Colorado canyon. Ward and Taff are prominent deep sea fishermen, but they haven ' t been to the sea for years, their fishing lust having given way to butterfly hunting. The lure of the race track is holding Boggess and he now holds the world s record speed on the 1-mile track. He drives a fifty-four cylinder auto- mobile. capable of making 625 miles per hour. We would never have thought rU ch miracles could happen back in ' 30. would we? 1 must close, here is Paul Welch in my office selling a new set of books. He sends his regards. Wishing you the best success in this year of 1955, I am, Sincerely yours. A Grad’ of 1930 Fifty-one Some Senior Statistics THE RECALL I93p| 5 U s UK jta: jj a — o g c«X _ 1 b!

It is needless to say that the imposing structure, a memorial of staunch loyalty to the Alma Mater, as it rises to a height of ten feet, does not add to the appearance of the campus. T he fountain is a stone structure with a central, conical-shaped stem, resembling an oblisk, around which is a stone basin. Surmounting the stem is an Ameri- can eagle. I he fountain, together with the beautiful surroundings of landscape gardening, becomes an added asset to Western ' s beautiful grounds.

D. C., were ready to inspect Western. The corps arose that Wednesday morning with an eagerness and determi- nation that put the old Alma Mater on the Honor Roll for the fourth consecutive year. The inspection opened with a bang as Major Bull, Major Henderson and Capt. DeMint inspected barracks C”, “D and “E . Major O’Brien, Capt Moore and Lieut. Sebree were inspecting “A and B” barracks. Here Western scored and the corps was off with a good start. Physical drill passed inspection with a high grade. After the physical drill, a full field review and inspection was held. The corps was first assembled on the company street and marched to the lower parade ground where the review and inspection proceeded. Soon after, the battalion was divided up into companies. Each company was now inspected on a different phase of Military work. A” Company was detailed to pitch tents on the upper parade ground, and Company “B” put on an extended order drill, while C” and D” were combined to form a war strength platoon in close order drill. At about eleven the various company maneuvers were over and “C” company was called upon for a formal guard mount. The last lap of the inspecting was drawing to a close with the inspection of the theoretical subjects. The military Freshmen and Sophomores were taken care of by Major O’Brien, and such subjects as First Aid, Hygiene, Rifle Marks- manship, and Musketry were being questioned upon. At this time Major Bull was testing the Juniors and Seniors on Drill and Command, Combat Principles. Machine Gun. Map Reading, 37mm gun and 3-inch trench mortar. About six-ten the classes were dismissed and that never-to-be-forgotten day was over. The result of this inspection was very good, and from what we know. Western ' s good showing put it right among the upper division leaders of the Honor Roll. Western Men at R. O. T. C. and C. M. T. C. Camps A BOUT twelve adventurous minded young men decided that they wanted to get a taste of true military life. On June 1 7th, 1929, this group arrived at Fort Sheridan, 111. After having travelled a long distance, they reported to assume duty at the Reserved Officers’ Training Camp. Among the adventur- ous were: Cassett, Katz, Price. Stock, Karraker, Hamlin, Campbell, Mahan, Bailey, Schellenberg, Stumpf, and Heydt. After passing all physical examina- tions they became full-fledged recruits, who were happily greeted by Lieut. Sebree and Serg. Dunster. While at camp the work consisted mainly of a very intensive course in Military Science and Tactics. Theoretical principles were stressed under condi- tions as near as possible to those of actual warfare. Other phases in the field of military work were intense instruction in rifle marksmanship in which Heydt carried off the highest honors, and training in machine gun, trench mortar, and pistol marksmanship. From here we travel to Jefferson Barracks to take a glance at the C. M. T. C. enthusiasts. Here we find MacDonald. Mavrakos, Schneithorst, Hurwitz. Webb and Moore all doing wonderful work. Other Western boys who attended various Citizen Military Training Camps are Morcom at Fort Devens, Mass.: Sweet and Craig at Fort Smelling, Minn.: Ward at Fort Oglethorpe. Ga.; McCool at Fort Crook, Neb.; Reed, K., at Fort Sheridan, 111.: and Elms at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Of the cadets who attended Camp last summer. I doubt whether any one of them would trade his experience, as they all consider it a great benefit to them. Inter- Company Track Meet I N order to uncover the outstanding track men in school, the annual inter- company track meet was held by Capt. Droste on April seventeenth. Over fifty men took part and made the meet a great success by lowering every mark set up in the previous inter-company meet. Revenging a bitter defeat of 1928, Company B stepped off with first place with fifty points while last year ' s victors, Company “A , massed only thirty- three points. “O ' Company finished in third position while D Company was last. Showing unusual early season form, the B Company men. led by Roger Davenport, with wins in the 100, 220 and 400 events, piled up 27 more points than their nearest rivals. Templeton of “C” Company took both the mile and the half in nice time while Bartholomew showed unusual speed in capturing both hurdle events. Nieman, Niehaus. Henry and Hesley scored six points each for their respective companies, and Cluster, surprising everyone present, captured first in the broad jump by a large margin. “Sonny’ Brash smashed the school shot record which stood for eight years when he tossed the big iron shot forty-five feet and one inch. The meet was very successful and instructive in that it showed the out- standing track men in school around which Capt. Droste built his team. The places in the various events are as follows: 100-YARD Dash — Davenport (B), first: Miller (A), second: Altman (B), third. Time, 10:6. 220-YARD Dash — Davenport (B), first; Miller (A), second: Brash (A), third. Time, 23:5. 440-YARD Dash — Davenport (B), first: Brash (A), second: Henry (B), third. Time, 55:9. 880-Yard Run— Templeton (C), first; Jarrett (D), second: Niehaus (B). third. Time. 2:38. Mile Run — Templeton (C), first: Masters (A), second; Poliak (B), third: Stock (D), fourth. Time, 5:26. HIGH Jump — Niehaus (B), first: Roehl (B), second: Harmes (B), third. Height, 5 feet 5 inches. HIGH Hurdles — Bartholomew (B), first: Weiss (A), second: Calhoun (C), third. Time, 19:8. LOW HURDLES — Bartholomew (B), first: Niemann (C), second: Calhoun (C) , third. Time, 28:7. SHOT PUT — Brash (A), first (record): Martinez (D), second: Hesley (D), third. Distance, 45 feet Y inch.

Distance, 145 feet 7 inches. BROAD JUMP — Cluster (C), first; Harmes (B), second: Martinez (D), third. Distance, 19 feet 4 inches. Pole Vault Henry (B), first; Silva (B), second: Darner (D), thud Height. 9 feet 6 inches. Relay — Won by “B” Company, made up of Davenport, and Altman. Sixty Prep League Baseball lop Row: Capt. Holmes. Andros. Silva. Smiley. Ringey. Schmidt, bruno. bottom Row: Meier. Miller. Moody. Hirschfield. Parker. U NFAVORED by Dame Luck, the Prep League baseball team did not enjoy a very successful season. However, Capt. Holmes, who is noted for his championship baseball teams, assembled a scrappy squad of baseball men who were never defeated until the last man was out. Capt. Smiley led the team in good shape and was an inspiration to the other members of the squad. Moody and Smith bore the pitching burden and both showed plenty of speed and control. Andros handled the catching position in fine style and played the home-run role with the bat. Jerry Hirschfield. Parker and Andy Miller covered the infield along with Capt. Smiley, while Meier, Silva, Ringey and Murphy guarded the outfield. Prep League Baseball Rain played havoc with Western ' s Prep League schedule and many games were forced to be called off on this account. However. Capt. Holmes kept his athletes in good shape and they succeeded in putting up a good fight in the race for the Prep League Pennant. Although the team did not win many of its games it always afforded excellent competition for both high school and college teams. Capt. Holmes deserves much credit for uncovering such stars as Smiley, Moody, Smith. Andros and Parker. Western 4, McKendree 5 Western dropped her first game of the season to the fast team from McKendree College. Capt. Holmes sent Dale Moody to the mound for the Red and Blue and he turned in a very creditable performance against his experienced rival, Cromwell. Smith and Murphy with two hits each led Western at bat while Andros and Smiley played exceptionally good ball in the field. This was a very close battle of pitchers and a very interesting one to watch. Western 8, Country Day 4 Moody started on the mound as Western broke into the win column, but he was relieved by Parker in the fourth, who in turn gave way to Whitey Smith in the fifth inning. Western played good baseball throughout the entire game while Andros’ home run and the work of Miller, Hirschfield and Meier was outstanding. C. B. C. 5. Western 4 Smith and Duvi c staged a pretty pitchers ' battle as Western dropped her second league game to the boys from Christian Brothers College by the narrow margin of five to four. Murphy started on the mound for C. B. C. but he soon gave way to Duvic. who held Western’s batsmen to two hits. Western s errors proved costly but Miller ' s homer in the seventh was the outstanding event of the fray. St. Louis U. Hi 2, Western 1 Capt. Holmes lost a heart-breaking contest to St. Louis U Hi by the narrow margin of two to one. Moody and Smith were outstanding for Western while the work of Smiley and Hirschfield was one of the shining lights of the game. Again Western’s errors proved costly and one hit in a pinch would have won the game for the Red and Blue. Western 3, Country Day 2 Although Messick, Country Day’s ace. pitched a no-hit game. Smith ' s twirling was too much for the boys from Codasco and Western came out on the big end of a three to two count. Bruno was the star of the game when he was walked, then succeeded in stealing second, third and home, a remarkable feat. Western seemed to be coming into its own as the season ended. Sixty -seven Prep League Track lop Row: N ' icman. Bofingfr. Marshall. Brash. Miller. Weiss. Niehaus. Roehl. Davenport. Smith. A. W., Capt. Drostc. Middle Row: Stock. Henry. Cluster. McCarthy.

Defeating every rival with the exception of the strong McKendree College team, the Western track men easily cap tured the St. Louis Prep League title, wresting the coveted trophy from St. Louis University High. Capt. Droste was favored with an excellent turnout and by the help of the annual Inter- company meet he was able to pick a strong squad, which was composed of several unusual stars. Led by Capt. Harms. Davenport. Templeton, Bartholo- mew, Brash, Nieman, Weiss and Hesley, Western never failed to take well over her share of places. After accepting a bitter defeat from McKendree, which was not decided until the close of a thrilling relay, Western defeated Staunton, Edwardsville and Wood River in quick succession, besides taking the A B C meet by a wide margin. The height of form was reached when Western captured the Prep League meet which meant so much. Placing in almost every event, the Red and Blue runners carried off the championship in beautiful style. THE RECALL I I Prep League Track Graduation claimed eleven letter men, including Capt. Harms, Davenport. Brash, Nieman, Weiss. Marshall, Smith, A. W., Henry. Bartholomew. 1 em- pleton and Jarrett, but Bofinger, Miller, Niehaus, Roehl, Altman, Darner, Hesley, Silva and Jackson will present a wonderful structure for Capt. Droste s squad in 1930. The loss of Davenport will be strongly felt. Roy took first in the hundred, two-twenty and four-forty events in every meet. Templeton, Western s midget miler, was also seldom defeated in his four years of competition. Much credit is due Capt. Droste for his excellent coaching which resulted in unusual success. In his three years of coaching at Western. Capt. Droste has never failed to turn out teams of the highest caliber. 1 his year was no exception. Western 57, McKendree 65 Losing an exciting relay, which decided the meet. Western dropped her first encounter to the athle tes of McKendree College. Despite the loss the team showed excellent form and led by Davenport, with three firsts, they piled up fifty-seven points against their experienced college rivals. Western 86, Staunton 36 Staunton High came to Western only to be overwhelmingly defeated. Her athletes were outclassed in practically every event and were forced to be satisfied with a scant thirty-six points. Bartholomew registered wins in both hurdles and Davenport took three first places. Western 73. Edwardsville 39 Again the Red and Blue track men showed their superiority to local high schools when they crushed Edwardsville by a large margin. The team showed great improvement and promise of being one of the schools best cinder teams. Templeton and Bartholomew scored to victories each and, aided by the unde- feated Davenport, they massed seventy-three credits to thirty-nine for their opponents. A. B. C.

Nieman and Weiss broke the league records in the discus and high hurdles, respectively, while Templeton equaled his own mark in the mile. Preparatory League Meet Western 51 , St. Louis U.

Western scored twenty-three and one- half more points than did her nearest rival and almost half the total points of the meet. Nieman established a record in the 220-yard low hurdles and Weiss in the high hurdles while Western placed in every event except the 440, showing an unusually well balanced team.

Western scored almost at will. Hesley shattered the school discus record while Brash broke the former mark in the shot. Davenport and Bartholomew cap- tured their usual first places in excellent time. The meet served as a fitting climax for a wonderful team and an excellent coach.

Under the coaching of Mrs. Henderson and the fine co-operation of the Seniors who took part, the play was an astounding success. The result of long hard hours of practice was manifested in the finished production. This type of play calls for a superhuman effort and with lots of hard and tiring practice the cast mastered and presented this Broadway hit.

Eighty-four THE RECALL 1930 | • . Entertainments M ME. GRAY SCHEVINNE, world famed violinist, gave a very enjoyable concert November 7th. She was accompanied by her husband, pianist, and later by her nine-year-old son. Master Schevinne is a very talented young pianist. He was dressed as Mozart and played some of that composer ' s selections. I he Heidelburg Chorus entertained the corps November 22nd with a won- derful concert. The varied program was enthusiastically received by the cadets. It might also be said that this famous chorus won a warm spot in the hearts of all with their comedy, operettas, and familiar melodies. December 5th the Elias company presented an unusual program. They played on their native instruments, which were very queer in shape, some of the old folk songs of their country, Jugo-Slavia. This company had appeared on the same vaudeville bill as Captain Porter and company some time ago. A good send-off for Christmas furlough was given by the St. Louis Comets in the form of a minstrel show. The black-face comedians and peppy chorus and catchy songs were a hit. The program was brought to Western through the courtesy of Mrs. Abrams. “The Nineteenth Hole was thoroughly enjoyed when presented here at Western. The play was built on the game of golf and ended with the hero taking up golf. This play seemed to hold the interest of its listeners prob- ably because it was a modern play and full of pep. Mrs. MacAdams from Monticello Seminary appeared at Western in two readings. Journeys End.” given December 17, marked the ability of Mrs. MacAdams as a reader of ability. Her second readings, Emperor Jones,” on March 6, was well received. The cadets have appreciated the worth-while programs which she has always presented. One of the most interesting of lectures ever brought to the Western plat- form was the one given by Lowell Thomas, world traveler, editorial observer, and well-known author. His varied experiences related in a very interesting and thrilling manner made him the hero of the hour.” Eighty-five Prep League Football Top Row : Darner. Comins. Rotbslcin. Byram. Lindalr. Price.

DROSTE ' S call for football material brought forth a fine bunch of athletes around which he assembled one of the best football teams the academy has ever supported. Led by Capt. Hesley. Smith. Young. Altman and Silva in the backfield and Bruno, Bofinger, Niehaus. Byram, Stumpf, Costa, Stough and Boggess in the line, the team marched steadily up the ladder of the Prep League only to meet defeat at the hands of McBride in a muddy slow game which was unfair to both teams. Despite this defeat Western placed four men on the mythical All-Prep team. Hesley, Bruno, Costa and Smith gained places while almost every member of the team received honorable men- tion. This shows the excellent material which was brought out by Capt. Droste. who deserves much credit for his wonderful showing of his first year as coach of the Prep League team. The marvelous driving power of the team was shown in the Central, Alton and St. Louis U. High games, while at all times steady playing and good sportsmanship featured the team ' s play. Graduation claims a large number of the squad but Capt. -elect Silva and Capt. Droste receive the best wishes of the entire corps for another successful team in 1930. Western 0. Roosevelt 6 The Rough Riders from Roosevelt High of St. Louis came to Western to return with a six to nothing victory over the Cadets. Western showed plenty of fight and punch but was unable to score when opportunity offered itself. Stough and Bruno stood out for Western while Hesley and Altman also did excellent work against the heavy Roosevelt line. Capt. Droste ' s men showed good early-season form and promise to develop into a strong eleven. Western 6. C. B. C. 0 Although the Cadets gained ground almost at will, they lacked scoring power and the only score against C. B. C. came when Bruno blocked McHenry’s kick late in the third quarter and Niehaus pounced on the pigskin over the goal line. Hesley and Smith showed real driving power while Costa and Bruno worked well in the line. Eighty-six 1930 1 t; Eighty-seven Prep League Basketball Top Row: Capt. Holmes. Drrimtirr. Bofinger. Nichaus, Hesley, Altman. Bottom Row: Rossborough, Silva. Bruno. Craycroft. Stengle. A LARGE number of men responded to Capt. Holmes ' call for basketball material and from whom he selected a very able team. Winning a goodly percentage of their games, the Prep quintet deserves much credit for their excellent work, as well as Capt. Holmes. Captain received excellent cooperation and backing from the corps of cadets so that the season as a whole was extremely successful. Western 25. Roosevelt 13 Led by Hesley and Bofinger. the Prep team opened the season in first class shape with a decisive defeat of the strong quintet from Roosevelt High. Smith and Silva showed a nice bit of floor work while Bofinger was a dead shot from any angle. Western 17. Granite City 24 Western ' s basketeers experienced hard treatment from the hands of the cham- pionship Granite City team. Bruno and Silva led Western ' s attack while Parker scored eleven points for the visitors. Western 23, Cleveland 20 Again Western showed her superiority over Public School League teams when Cleveland came to Western only to take back bitter defeat. Smith was the lion on Western ' s offense while Stengle and Bofinger turned in very creditable performances. Capt. Holmes ' athletes showed great improvement and promise to develop into a fast, clever basketball team. Western 18, St. Louis U. Hi 25 St. Louis U.’s basketeers were a trifle too strong and the Red and Blue suffered its first league defeat. However, Stengle played an excellent game, scoring fourteen of the team ' s eighteen points. Eighty-eight Western 26, Country Day 27 Dame Fortune seemed to favor Codasco as Western travelled to St. Louis and returned on the short end of a twenty-seven to twenty-six count. Stengle and Joe Bruno led Western ' s attack and piled up a nice margin in the first half only to lose it in the second period due to over-confidence and the good luck of Codasco ' s cagers. WESTERN 23. C. B. C. 28 The boys from Christian Brothers College showed nice form and plenty of drive as they defeated the W. M. A. quintet to the tune of twenty-three to twenty-eight. Bruno bore the brunt of Western’s burden while Smith also played a strong game. WESTERN 23. PRINCIPIA 10 Western came into her own and the team functioned perfectly as Principia Junior College went down to defeat at Western ' s powerful attack. Stengle, Smith, Bruno and Craycroft showed up well and massed a total of twenty- three points to ten for their more experienced college opponents. Western 17, McBride 24 McBride administered W. M. A. a defeat because of superoir shooting ability. Western ' s athletes could not find the basket. However. Stengle and Smith played their usually fine brand of basketball while Craycroft looked good on the floor work. WESTERN 17. St. Louis U. Hi 20 After leading all the way to the finish, Western dropped a fast game to St. Louis University High’s championship quintet. Stengle was high point man for Western while Silva and Smith played an outstanding defensive game. Western showed plenty of fight and gave the St. Louis boys a real tussle throughout the battle. WESTERN 25, Roosevelt 33 Over-confidence played a big role in the defeat of Vestern in the clutches of the Rough Riders from Roosevelt. Although W. M. A. got off with an early lead the St. Louis athletes soon overtook them and crashed thru to a thirty-three to twenty-five victory. Bofinger and Bruno stood out in Western s play while Alvis starred for the Rough Riders. Western 24. Country Day 1 7 Capping a day of Western victories, the Prep team defeated Country Day School of St. Louis to the tune of twenty-four to seventeen. Bruno led Western ' s attack and was ably supported by Smith, Silva and Craycroft. The whole team showed up well in a last quarter rally, which placed the Red and Blue well in the lead and led to a glorious victory. Western 22. McBride 18 Western avenged the former defeat of McBride’s Green and Orange warriors in a crushing defeat at Western. Smith was outstanding in the W. M. A. victory, but the entire team functioned well and certainly deserved their well earned victory. WESTERN 19, ALTON Hi 20 Despite their final rally the Western cage men lost a close battle to Alton Hi. The entire team worked hard but Alton’s early lead was responsible for their victory over Capt. Bruno and his team-mates. Bruno ' s injuries, which kept him almost helpless, played a large part in Alton ' s victory. Western 10. C. B. C. 14 Western dropped a game featured by excellent defensive play to the basketeers of C. B. C. Silva and Smith played well but the strong defensive game of C. B. C. could not be solved and Western was forced to be satisfied with ten meagre points. WESTERN 23, PRINCIPIA 26 Closing the season with Dame Fortune frowning upon her, Western lost the final game to Principia in an extra period event that was very thrilling from start to finish. Despite the defeat. Western exhibited plenty of fight and deserves much credit for their showing throughout the entire season. “A Football THE R Top Row: OConntll. Hollmjn. Jacobi. Hanson. Kan.

T HE _ Class football team, coached by Captain Holmes, is composed of men ineligible for the Prep team and others not far enough advanced in the line of football. It seems as if lady luck was not with the team when they played their league games. We can notice this by a glance at the scores of the Principia and John Burroughs games in comparison with the other scores. Captain Holmes had five very good men, namely. Baker. R., Robb, Ross- borough. Ziegler, and Bailey. Ziegler and Rossborough made the All-Star A” team. Due to his unusual work on the line Ziegler was elected Captain of the team. Miller, S., at left end was constantly breaking up the opponent s plays as well as catching many difficult passes. We are expecting these men to be back next year and to play a large part in the success of the Prep team Western 19 Marquette 0 Western 13 McKendree 7 Western 6 Principia 18 Western 0 John Burroughs 7 Western 14 Marquette 0 Western 0 Principia 12 Western 21 Granite City 0 Total 73 Total 44 Games Won 4, Lost 3, Tied 0 “A” Basketball A LTHOUGH their record is not void of defeats, the A team had a very successful season.

With Goettling, Mac- Adams, and Richardson on the line and Red ' ' Martin playing quarterback, there were few teams that even threatened to make a touchdown. These four men not only were the backbone of our “C” team but also were members of the all-star “C” team. Captain Martin seldom carried the ball but when he did it was always for a large gain. ‘ ' Charlie” played an unusual game of football.

In the first meet with Principia, Richardson broke the 220 record by 16 seconds, making the distance in 2.44 seconds against the old record of 2.56. Fernald did some very nice work in the breast stroke and Bailey and Varney took second and third places respectively in diving. Captain Droste coached the team for the first time this year.

Bowling M UCH to everyone ' s surprise, the Juniors, composed of Schneithorst, Thompson, Costa, Roehl. W., and Huxtable, took the bowling honors this year. The Seniors were second, the Freshmen third, and the Sopho- mores fourth. The scores were rather close and of course held everyone ' s atten- tion for several days. Stumpf of the Senior bowling team lost to Schwab of the Freshmen for the individual championship by one pin. Schneithorst of the Juniors placed third. Schneithorst was high point man for the Juniors jvith a total of 950 pins, Stumpf was high point man for the Seniors with 759 pins to his credit, Schwab was high point man for the Freshmen with 786 pins and Port was high point man for the Sophomores with 761 pins.

Two matches were held this year with Country Day School in St. Louis. In the first match the St l ouis school were winners 11-5. Later in the season. Western returned the visit and won the match. It is needless to say that much enjoyment has been gained from this activity. Those who have been active in fencing were Nagel. Mooney, Mackey, Sada, and Barker.

The company was first established five years ago primarily tor the smaller members of the corps, especially for those of the Grammar School Department. This year “E Company has been the largest since it was first organized. The manual of arms in this company is first taught with wooden rifles, made expressly for the use of the smaller cadet. Later in the year when the cadet learned to master the manual of arms, the regulation army rifle is given to him. The perfection that this company reaches by the end of the year in close order drill is almost as well as that attained by the larger companies of the cadet corps. Sergeant Bruno, J.

On the average, every member of the team shot about the same score, which is the secret ambition of every championship team to accomplish. But of course there were some few excellent shots, also.

Titus Class of 1933 Bilgere Post Annes ACADEMIC We consider the highest honor received by a fraternity this year was the fact that Delta Phi Omega had the highest academic average in the school We were represented on the Upper Ten by Albrecht. Harris, and Bilgere, and the Honor Roll by Mahan. 7 Singer, Haynie and Eckardt. We are represented on the RECALL Staff by Mahan, T MILITARY After the permanent orders had been published we found that Delta Phi Omega was very fortunate in having every member holding the rank of a first class private or better. Hesley was given the award of quartermaster lieutenant. Stumpf and Eckardt were given the rank of lieutenant Mahan Cooper, Beckmann and Albrecht, E., were given the rank of sergeants, while Boggess, Harris, J.. and Singer were corporals and Luly, W., a first class private in the band. On the rifle team we were represented by Albrecht E In con- clusion, we believe the military record established by Delta Phi Omega is one of which we can be very proud. AT Hl ET ' ICS In football Delta Phi Omega placed Hesley. Boggess, and Stumpf on the I rep team, Hesley being all Prep half-back and captain of the team. On the B team we were represented by Titus and Haynie, and in the C” class Singer held down the position of guard. In basketball Stengle and Hesley represented Delta Phi Omega in the Prep League while Beckmann and Cooper were placed on the “A” squad. Titus again came through holding a position on Capt. Droste’s B” team. sw ’ rnm ' n 8 team D. P. O. placed Boggess for the second consecutive year. Although this was Richardson ' s first year at Western he starred in every swimming meet. 1 1 his year we expect Hesley to hold a place on the track team and Beckmann on the baseball squad. CONCLUSION During this school year the D. P. O. has been most successful. We con- sider it one of our best years and hope it will be an example for next year. In conclusion, we, Allen Hesley, Thomas Mahan, James Harris, and Edgar Albrecht, wish the coming officers of next year even better success We hope 311 °£ 1 ° u ' _ brothers wil1 w °rk with untiring effort to uphold the bonds of Delta Phi Omega and in every way keep the Blue and White above the rest One Hundred Twenty -two Delta Phi Omega One Hundred Twenty three THE RECALL 1930 r Phi Delta President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Hightower Com ins Darner Martin Lindaee FRATRES IN FACUL.TATE Major Robert Wilkenson CLASS OF 1930 Bruno Johnston Jacobberger CLASS OF 1931 Nagel Graham.

Martin. Driemeier, H., Graham, R., and Graham, L. MILITARY After orders had been published, we found the Phi Delta fraternity very fortunate by having nearly every eligible member holding the rank of corporal or better. Flightower was given the award of cadet captain. Comins was made adjutant. Jacobberger was made Sergeant Major, Martin and Johnston held down offices as first sergeants, the latter a first sergeant in the band. Bruno held the rank of sergeant, while Graham, R., Niehaus and Driemeier were corporals in the order named. Considering all things, the military record established by this fraternity is one of which we should be proud, as well as one which we should maintain. ATHLETICS During football season the fraternity standard was upheld on the Prep team by Bruno, all league end, Niehaus, Comins, Darner, Hightower, Lindale, and Nagel. On the “A” team Rossborough and Driemeier represented Phi Delta, while on the C” team Martin was an outstanding back and was chosen captain of the all league team. After the pigskins were packed away, basketball season started and Phi Delta again came through with flying colors, placing Bruno, captain of this year ' s team, Driemeier, Niehaus and Darner on the Prep basketball squad. On the A” team Phi Delta was represented by Rossborough, acting captain; Martin upheld the fraternity standard as a member of the B basketball squad. On the swimming team Phi Delta was represented by Darner, able captain of the team. Of last year ' s track team, Niehaus, captain-elect of this year ' s team, and Darner are back. No doubt they will show up well this year. Phi Delta was represented on the baseball team last year by Bruno. No doubt he will show up well on this year ' s team. 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 to better.

Moore CLASS OF 1930 MacDonald Ward Altman T IDWELL T AYLOR Peavler Smith CLASS OF 1931 Barton King Pinnell Pittman Byram CLASS OF 1933 Smiley Morris Griffin The Past Year ATHLETICS This y ear we had four men, Tidwell, Byram, “Muzzy” Altman, and “Whitey” Smith, all-star half-back of the St. Louis Preparatory League, on the Prep football team. Ward and Barton held down their positions on the “A” and “C” teams, respectively, very nicely. During the basketball season Smith again won a Prep letter, and Ward an “A” team letter. Due to illness. King. ' ' B“ team center, had to return home before the season was over. Then in field events, Smith captained the Prep baseball team, and Altman held a high position on Capt. Droste ' s track team. In the boxing matches. Smith again showed his ability by coming out as the heavyweight champ, and in wrestling. Barton displayed his strategy by finishing as feather-weight champ. MacDonald spent his recreation period with the rifle team, and made excellent records. ACADEMIC The academic part of this past year has been most successful. Bob Tidwell led the Senior Class, only by a narrow margin over “Scotty MacDonald. This year Tidwell won his place and medal on the Upper Ten through months of hard work. MacDonald has the medals of previous honors, and the remaining members were led by Barton, who made an average of eighty-three. In the Senior Class, out of the five possible offices to be filled, three of them were done so by Delta Sig’s: MacDonald, President; Tidwell, Treasurer, and Smith, Sergeant-at-Arms. MILITARY When orders were issued on the 4th of December, 1929, the names of Mac- Donald and Tidwell were found to be leading the list of Lieutenants, while Taylor and Barton ranked as Corporals. Pittman and Smith were appointed as first class cadets, and we feel sure that those who will be here in the following years, will fulfill the places of those going out, with greatest success. It is to those going out into the business world, or to college, that we, R. K. Barton, Danny Pittman, John Pinnell.
