The Sophomores, ’ 34 The Sophomore Class of ' 34 was organized during the latter part of April. The class consists of twenty-six members, with Humphreys as president; Tschannen, vice-president; Voorhees, secretary; and lacobberger, sergeant-at-arms. A number of members of the Sophomore Class entered Western last September. They are as follows: Billstone, Chouteau, Dischinger, Fowler, Humphreys, Lanski, Latham, J., Hol- man, Marriott, D., Persons, Riesmeyer, Shuchart, Skaggs, and Spivak. The other members composed the Freshmen Class last year, and are the remaining members of the Sophomore Class. They are: Barroll, Bernstein, Boudeman, Dennis, Ferguson, Hamilton, Jacobberger, Keith, Morrell, Swimmer, Tschannen, and Voorhees. The Sophomore Class has made a fine record in both academic and military work. There are no exceedingly high scholars in the class, but most of the members seem to be well above the average. Because of the outstanding work done by some of the military freshmen of the Sophomore Class, there will be a number promoted to the junior military class of ' 35. This is an example of some of the good work being done by the members. The class of ' 36 has been outstanding in athletics this year. Most of the B team material and much of the C team was formed from the Sophomore Class. Eight members received Prep letters. They are: Bernstein, Chouteau, Dennis, Humphreys, Marriott, D., Morrell, Tschannen, and Holman. The fact that these eight men will be back for two more years will mean a lot to Western ' s athletics. The outlook for the class of ' 36 is very promising and with the friendship and character of the members, it looks as though the Sophomore Class will develop into an outstanding Senior Class.

★ THE RECALL. 1934 ★ The Juniors, ’34 Many members of the class of ' 35 have been together in school for the past four years, others have entered more recently. Among the members of the class who have been here four years, are: Arvey, Barrett, Gruner, Henderson, G., Jackson, R., Kundtz, Rest, Rosenblatt, and Snyder. Anixter, Baumgartner, Brown, N., Cutler, Costello, Dunn, Ellis, J., Hartkopf, Fix, Key, Latham, R., McCroskey, Port, Remmers, Von Hoffmann, and Walters have been with the class for the past three years. The remaining members of the class — Barber, Benavides, Brown, W., Brownell, Burst, Clinkscales, Colby, Coombs, Costello, Drell, Ellis,- W., Jenkins, Johnston, McNaughton, Marriott, Padorr, Persons, Schippers, Streeper, Vonachen, Webster, Wheeler, and Woodin entered either this year or last year. The class of ' 35 has established excellent records in academics, military, and athletics. In the academic department, Snyder, Cutler, McCroskey, Anixter, Drell, Schippers, Rosenblatt, and Baumgartner have constantly held places on the Upper Ten. In military work, Snyder, Henderson, Cutler, McCroskey, Baumgartner, Remmers, Armato, Dunn, Kundtz, Von Hoff- mann, Ellis, J., Arvey, and Anixter have done good work. These men have made excellent records in both practical and theoretical work. The outstanding men, militaristically speaking, will more than likely be selected from this group of juniors. The outlook for the class next year in military work is very promising due to the number of men who have had extensive experience. In athletics this year, the junior class has produced quite a number of outstand- ing athletes. Armato, Snyder, Cutler, Barrett, Marriott, Jackson, Johnston, Kundtz, Latham, McCroskey, Port, Rest, Rosenblatt, Snyder, Von Hoffmann, Walters, Schippers, Dunn, Arvey, Brown, and Henderson have each earned a letter in some varsity sport. In the latter part of April the class was organized and officers elected were: Henderson, president; Cutler, vice-president; Armato, treasurer; McCroskey, secretary; Von Hoffmann, sergeant-at-arms; and Arvey, historian. Next year when members of the class of ' 35 become seniors, they hope to be able to carry on as well as the present graduating class has done, and to be able to make a record as remarkable as theirs.

THE RECALL 19 3 4 Freshman Class We members of the Freshman Class would pause for a moment of retrospection (this is a good five-dollar word). Our first year is drawing to a close and we will soon take on the duties of sophomore year. We expect to fulfill these responsibilities with the same efficiency and modesty that have already made our class such an important factor in the life of the school. Our members have rated high in all kinds of school activity. Johnny Henderson is our President; he has set a good example in making the C teams in football, basketball and swimming. Alan Anixter is a steady winner of scholastic honors, and is active in editing the Shrapnel ' . Jean Tick combines the two by winning letters in basketball and track and also sporting a collection of scholarship medals. Bob Rush wins places on the Upper Ten and is a star performer in the Orchestra. Floyd Johnston is an all around athlete. Burton Ruby is a demon reporter. Red Roberts rates high in basketball and band. Frampton made his record in baseball, Stentz in football, basketball and track. Allen and Fetner did well in football. Bill Cox is our only wrestler. Raithel is an editor. John McGill is our most out- standing athlete, and Andres is best known as a musician and a builder of aeroplanes. Sanowsky looks like a champ in football, while the principal interest of Danforth, Millard and Bonfoey is found in swimming. Page Twenty-two
