Western Military Academy - Recall Yearbook (Alton, IL)

THAT WE MAY RECALL . . It is the purpose of the year book to serve as a memoiy to you of the life at Western. In order to do so we have tried to follow as much as possible the sequence of the day. Our day is divided into four main parts, beginning with classes; then follow drill, athletics and in the evening, the activities. First, to start the day off right we bring you . . . REVEILLE. Next on the list is morning mess. This is the silent mess of the day, as many sleepy-eyed cadets start the day ' s routine. The first section of the book is devoted to the prime reason for our being here, that is to say, the academic work. Let ' s begin with the faculty and seniors and work down through the various classes. Next is depicted one of the characteristic features of this type of school. The military department takes only five hours a week, but Western manages to hold its own on the honor list. The climax of the military year is Government Inspection, which comes in the spring. This is the last milestone of the year, as military work takes the back- ground and thoughts turn to Commencement and summer vacation. Athletics make up our chief occupation outside of classes. Nearly every one of us spends two hours each day taking part in some sport. No school year would be complete without the other activities, which take up the inconspicuous hour after evening mess. Shrapnel, dramatics, glee club, orchestra, and others are all instructive and interesting. A study period, a short C. Q. , and then taps; another day is behind us, a day filled with work and play. There is plenty to do at Western. Page Six
