% • 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

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

LOUIS SABLE When football season rolls around, his mind is on the game. And when he plays at Michigan, we hope he ' ll gain great fame. Detroit ' s contribution to the senior class, Lou, has won for himself a place in our hearts by his ever- lasting good will and his jovial spirit. His play on our Varsity football and basketball teams has been valuable, as has been his work as corporal of the third squad of B company. Sable has done good work in his two years, and his success is assured. EDWIN SCHWARTZ Quiet, reserved, and though not too quick, He has lofty ambitions and to them he’ll stick. Bones probably accomplishes more in his own quiet way than anyone else in school. He has been at Western three years and has risen all along, playing basketball and football. This year he has been the mainstay of our championship basketball team. He is a sergeant in the band, and his trombone playing will certainly be missed. He has always had a good scholastic record. ALVIN SHUCHART With the arm of a Grove and the swing of a Ruth. Baseball is his game, of that we have the proof. Al ' s pitching has been one of the highlights of our baseball team, as was his work during his junior year on our B football team. In other fields Shuchart has made a creditable academic record and has been a member of the ' 37 millimeter squad of the military junior class. His three years ' efforts have done him proud, and he leaves behind a good name. SENIORS 1 ' iigc Thirty
