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

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

% • SENIORS CHARLES RINGER Big and powerful, standing over all , — Just give old C ' uck a chance and he will smash through witn the ball. When it comes to a good all-round man. Chuck is ready to deliver the goods. He has in one year played on three Prep teams, football, basketball and baseball. It is a fact that many games would have been lost had it not been for him. Ringer is one of the hardest working men in school, and when it comes to studying he has come through in fine style. DONALD ROBERSON Laughing and jovial and never short of wit , — His friendship and his humor will always make a hit. One of our true humorists, Don Roberson, the Oklahoma cowboy, has made a host of friends during his short time among us. His work on our B football and basketball teams has made him athletically prominent, and his good work in his studies has made him a valuable man to us in more than one way. JOHN ROBINSON Now when it comes to acting, no better will you find , — When you producers pick your movie casts, keep him in mind. John came to Western at mid-year in 1935 and at once became prominent as an athlete and as one of our best buglers. This year he has been made P. F. C. and holds down one of the leading parts in the senior play. Robinson is never happy without his radio on, as he is an orchestra fan of the first water. I’age Twenty-Nine
