JOSEPH BARROLL Friends he has all and enemies none. To us he ' s just known as a Barroll of fun. It was in the year 1931 that Joe first set foot upon Western ' s campus. During his five-year career he has come to be very popular with us all. “Rollo ' s athletic career has been marked by his work on our basketball team and his invaluable service as football manager. This year because of his fine work he has been elevated to the rank of supply sergeant. LEE BERNSTEIN Football, baseball, stoimming, band — His merits against the best will stand. Lee, during his four years ' stay at Western, has accomplished much in all activities. He played B football until his junior year, and last year was the mainstay tackle on our prep team. Swimming is another sport in which he has shone. In this he was our star breast stroker. He has also been in the band, and merited a lieutenancy there. JOHN BILLSTONE Whenever you hear the bassest horn, you know it’s only Bill; He’s ahoays there to give a lift, to give it with a will. When you think of Bill, you think of the big bass horn with which he is seen so much. His grand and glorious success here has been marked by his wonderful work in our band, of which he is a lieu- tenant. His work as tackle on our 1934 champion- ship football team and his work on our swimming team have also been of the highest type. SENIORS Page T wenty

HONOR MEN OF 1936 JAMES O. ELLIS Valedictorian and Honor Graduate, The top of the ladder in our school has been reached this year by one of the most outstanding men in our history. Not only has James Oscar Ellis attained the high honor of being the number one man in scholastic work, but he has also reached the top of the military peak, holding the rank of cadet major. His work during his four years here has been marked by the very utmost of pre- cision and excellence. In addition to his work on the military field and in the classroom, he has shown real versatility by participating in athletics and other activities. The record which he leaves is admired by all, and we of the corps feel that he is the man who will raise the Red and Blue of Western to the skies. The runner-up for high honors in scholastic work this year has been Lafayette T. Young. His ability and his fine personality have marked him as the one on whom this high honor should be bestowed. Cadet Sergeant Young, although he has been here at Western only two years, has been an outstanding member of our class ever since his entrance. He has participated in athletics and other extra-curricular activities. He leaves Western with the sincere best wishes o f the cadet corps. Page Nineteen

SENIORS DOUGLAS BOUDEMAN When it comes to military work, no better can be had, For he is to us as he is to her — a fine, upstanding lad. One of our few five-year men, Doug has made a fine record in both military work and athletics. His knowledge of the military sciences and tactics has brought him a well-earned lieutenancy. His career on our teams is marked by his fine work on our B football and basketball teams and as a miler on the Varsity track squad. JACK CASSELL His music, if any. is pleasant to the ear. For when it comes to harmony, Jack stands with- out a peer. Jack has been associated, to us, more or less with the piano. He came to our school with the class of ' 36 and immediately became well liked. Ho is one of our few post grads. It seems that his am- bition is to master music, and so far he has made a good start toward his goal. WARREN CHILDS A humorous chap who is always gay And who, in this world, will go a long way. Entering at mid-year in 1935, Warren blossomed forth as a pole vaulter on our Varsity track team. He won his letter and was counted on heavily for the 1936 season, but illness kept him on the side lines. Childs has made many friends here, and we wish him much success in his college career.
