THE FACULTY CAPTAIN NEWELL WILLIAMS Captain Williams has been invaluable to Western athletics and class work. He has built swimming up to a major sport, putting several championship teams in the field during his six years. Spanish and French students will long remember his new rules . He is a graduate of two of Iowa ' s leading colleges. He has a master ' s degree from Iowa U. CAPTAIN G. M. TEAL Captain Teal ' s cheerful attitude and friendly personality have planted him deeply in the hearts of the cadets. He teaches all the branches of history, a subject in which he majored in college. He is the very capable coach of the C ' ' football and basket- ball teams and the B baseball team. MAJOR H. E. SUHRE Major Suhre is the head of the Commercial department and also holds the posi- tion of school Quartermaster. His teaching has been a valuable asset to everyone who has taken a course under him. After eight years at Western he is gradually getting to the point where he hasn ' t the old faith in the Cardinals that he used to have. CAPTAIN W. J. BUCK No one who has ever been in Captain Buck ' s Latin or German classes will ever regret it. He has taken great pride in teaching ‘and directing pupils how to study and his efforts have borne fruit. Captain Buck attended Concordia Teachers College and has taught at Tennessee and Missouri Universities. The Captain ' s a real ball player too; they say he can really put ' em down to second!

MAJOR F. N. HENDERSON Being a former cadet, and having had experience with other military schools, Major Henderson is very well equipped for the job of commandant. His strict but tactful methods of handling the corps earn him the admiration of all who come in contact with him. If you can ' t find the Major with his firearms, look for the nearest fishing hole. MAJOR R. E. WILKINSON For the past thirty-five years Major Wilkinson has been an invaluable asset to the school. He is the head of the mathematics department at Western, and has proved many times over his value as a teacher. Outside of the academic depart- ment, Major Wilkinson functions as principal. His advice in this field has helped many a cadet to find the right road during his career here at Western. CAPTAIN P. M. LEURIG A quiet, efficient man is Captain Paul M. Leurig. He will be long remembered by the Senior Class which now understands the Supreme Court question thoroughly. He has received degrees from many well established colleges, including Cambridge, and has taught rhetoric and literature at Western for the past fifteen years. His idiosyncrasies have made him many friends and it is quite improbable that anyone will forget his combination of smile and laugh; not for a while at any rate. CAPTAIN F. G. SCHRANTZ During the past six years Captain Schrantz ' s smiling face, soothing monotone and genial by golly have attracted many friends. As a teacher of science he is tops, and the rating of his classes seems to stay there with him. Captain Schrantz has attended Central Wesleyan College and the University of Wisconsin.

CAPTAIN E. P. DROSTE For the last twelve years Captain Droste ' s fine coaching and excellent leadership have combined to make Western ' s athletic material into very formidable teams. He is an excellent mathematician and his knowledge in this line is much respected. He has attended the University of Illinois, and is a graduate of Shurtleff College. CAPTAIN C. H. MOORE The genuineness and capability of Captain Moore have placed him high in the esteem of the cadets. He is another alumnus of Western who returned to instruct. Next to his job, that of tactical officer and assistant commandant, the object of his esteem is a gun, any kind of a gun. CAPTAIN C. A. THOMAS Captain Thomas, to whom we have dedicated this Recall, has been a success in several fields during his thirteen-year period at Western. Most important of all probably is his knowledge of military work. He was cadet major during his school days at Western. Everyone will remember him for his enthusiastic coaching of the soccer teams. He also teaches in the junior high school. DR. H. P. McCUISTION Dr. McCuistion holds the position of school doctor. He is a graduate of Virginia Military Institute, and so well understands the woes of cadets. It gives the cadets a lot of relief to know that Doc is around. THE FACULTY Page Sixteen
