SENIORS EDWARD GOLDSMITH He has a personality second to none in school And shows his manly qualities when in the swim- ming pool. Our swimming team surely took a turn for the better when Goldie entered school. He has had the enviable honor of tying several well estab- lished records on our swimming team. For a fellow so quiet, he has certainly become a favorite, and all his ways and habits have been admired. Ed hopes to continue his fine work in college next year. DENZIEL HAMILTON Is mighty and powerful as the red men of old. His many years dl| Western are full of thrills untold. Occupying has on thd e position of lieutenant adjutant a voice in our school. His feats and on the discus range have medals and numerous awards, he does not know about guns. Oklahoma has spent a full and s at Western. SCOTT HOLMAN He has determination, he ' s famous for his grit, He ' ll alioays be remembered as one who would never quit. It must have been a mite of a man who saluted the Commandant for the first time in 1932, but since then a real fellow has developed. Although small in stature, Scott is not afraid of anything and has proved this by his “B and C football playing. He has had a well-deserved sergeancy during his last year and has gained all-around popularity, which is something to be proud of. Fuye Twenty-Five

ROBERT FERGUSON The Lord Fauntleroy of Western, neatest in our corps ; — Once you make a friend like “ Hutch ”, you’ll always uiant one more. Hutch, a four-year man, is leaving school with an all-around good record. He has always had good grades and is one of the hardest workers in the class. His distinguishing quality is his in- fallible neatness; in this respect he is perfect. Dur- ing his last year, he has come up from a color ser- geancy to sergeant major. ROBERT FOSTER He has the reputation of being “ kind of rough . And when he gets a basketball, for the other side it’s tough. Peoria boy makes good at Western. These are the words which describe the work of Bob on our basketball, football and baseball teams. A clever fellow, liked by all, with a pleasing personality and rare sense of humor— although he has been here but one year, his record will stand out. JOHN FOWLER He is the perfect specimen of what a boy should be And when he sprints around the track, it’s well icorth while to see. Three years ago Johnny Fowler was lumbering around our track, stumbling over the hurdles. Who would have thought that he would some day be the holder of both our hurdle records established this year? This accomplishment alone is worthy of special mention, as seldom does one hold both records. John has also distinguished himself on our basketball and football teams, and as one of our best liked lieutenants. SENIORS I age Twenty- Four

HOWARD HUMPHREYS One so good in everything is seldom to be seen. Personalities as fine as his are few and far between. It was indeed a lucky day for Western when Hump ' entered school. He immediately became one of the most popular fellows in school, and his football, diving and baseball gained him a per- manent place on Western ' s list of honor. He holds the rank of cadet captain. He is co-editor of the Shrapnel and business manager of the Recall. It is seldom that one finds so outstanding a specimen of young manhood. ROBERT JACOBBERGER Some may stand out in their studies, others have the athletic trend, But few can be found ivho to “Jake can compare as just a good all-around friend. Jake entered Western as a freshman in 1932. He immediately became a well liked cadet and has greatly developed this popularity in his four years here. He played B and “C football in his sophomore and junior years, but in his last year Bob took things easy. He is a cadet sergeant and has more than earned this position. IRA JOSEPH With fire in his heart as red as his hair, lie has many virtues, which with the world he’ll share. When “Bunny entered Western, a fine career was predicted for him, and he has lived up to this prediction in every sense of the word. A person- ality which marks him as one of our outstanding cadets has won honor for him in all phases. His athletic work has been of the highest type, in swim- ming, track and “B football. He is one of the few to receive a color sergeancy in two years. SENIORS Page T wcnty-Six
