SENIORS ROBERT KEITH An officer of merit , who does fine scholastic work , — With his eloquence of oratory, he’ll be a Gladstone or a Burke. When Bob came to school he immediately rated high in his scholastic work. His fine efforts have been rewarded throughout his four years by his constant place on the Upper Ten. Keith also played soccer, where his work was of the best. Bob passes as a cadet lieutenant and a member of our senior dance committee. JAMES KELLSTEDT A jack of all trades, but a master of one. And he’ll stick in the fray ' til the laurels are won. Jim is one of our one-year men who has estab- lished himself firmly with the best in school. He has a way all his own, and his qualities are shown when he plays football and when he works hard in his studies. He rates high in his class and is another Peorian who has made good at Western. JACK LATHAM Whatever is his task, you’ll find him working, For his thought is that no man has time for shirking. One fellow who has taken an active part in nearly everything in school is Jack Latham. He has in his three years been on the rifle team, B and C football and basketball teams, and Prep football and baseball teams. Jack rates high in the senior class academically speaking, and his work on the Recall and Shrapnel and in the senior play has been invaluable. He is a lieutenant in B company. I‘age Twenty-Seven

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

EDWARD MEYER Handsome and scholarly, with his friends he has a way; If his beginning is his future, on the righteous path he’ll stay. Members of the fair sex were aflutter when Ed came into the world, as they were when he came to us this year. Besides his being outstanding in this phase, his work in the classroom and as a horseman were well established. Meyers has made many acquaintances during his one year here and has shown himself to be a fine fellow. GEORGE MONTOOTH As fast as a bullet with an antelopic dash. In the Army or the Navy, the rad lines he will crash. Our athletic year was a veritable success in all our minds, and a shining star in our athletic circles has been Red Montooth. His career started as end on our football team, where his fine work has earned him a high place. His play at center with the cagers and as a sprint star in track have added to his honors. A post graduate, he has done fine academic work. JOHN MORRELL Over hill, over dale, on his ever faithful steed , — His is the kind of leadership this world will always need. Although not large, Johnny has gained quite a reputation here at school. He is one of our three cadet captains and has one of the highest aver- ages in the senior class. Morrell played ”B and “C football and basketball and Prep baseball and is without a doubt the best pole vaulter in school. John has a hobby of riding horseback, and his bobbing figure is a common sight. Page T wenly-Eighl
