FOREWORD We present this volume as a record of a year ' s events at W.M.A. with the hope that it may form a permanent re- membrance of our never-to-be-forgot- ten experiences and with the expecta- tion that, in the years to come, those remembrances of our Western days ■ic TO THE CLASS OF 1937 June 1st, 1937. Dear Friends: I appreciate this opportunity to say a final word to you who are about to graduate. The period which is so rapidly drawing to a close is probably the most important period of your entire lives. During the last four years you have made most of the important decisions that will govern your lives for the next forty or fifty years. You may not realize it now, but you have de- cided whether you are going to play the game according to the rules or break them when you can: to work for what you get or loaf along and hope for luck or influence; to support loyally or to criticize destructively. These are the attitudes that make up your personality. They are the toals with which you must work out your lives and they are a fundamental part of what you are and will be. My fondest hope is that each and every one of your class shall achieve a full degree of success. In order to do so, you must have five things: the good taste to choose worthy objectives: the common sense to meet daily problems and know yourselves: the courage to face the ordeals of life without flinch- ing: the persistence to stick to a well-chosen objective until the finish; and the imagination to create, to dream dreams, and cccasionally to rise above the work-a-day world and catch a glimpse of the future. You are concluding a wonderful year at Western, a year that has been full of opportunities to do and to be. All these marvelous chances have been made available through the self-denial and love of your parents. Your job was mainly to do and to be. The big change that you are facing today is that you must hereafter make available your own opportunities. Congratulations on your splendid Year Book and on the fine spirit of cooperation that has made it possible. . Yours truly, Albert Matthews Jackson Memorial Gate Barracks Administration Building Fiftieth Anniversary Fountain Winter at Western ’ •dsaisrx Field House Enfrance irv ni A Major F. N. Henderson l Major R. E. Wilkinson MAJOR F. N. HENDERSON Having been a cadet himself, Major Hen- derson knows our feelings, our sentiments, our wishes, our troubles. As o Commandant, he is strict, and upon him our discipline is based; but he is kind and fair to everybody, and regards the cadets os his own. His gun col- lection is well known by the cadets, os is his favorite hobby, fishing. He is clever, witty, cheerful, and his humor mokes the cadets happy; they will always remember him with o feeling of appreciation, friendship, and respect. Our Commandant . . . we ' ll never forget you. F A C U L T MAJOR R. E. WILKINSON Major Wilkinson has been at Western for the past 36 years, and, if you think about it, you will find that 36 years is a very, very long time. He has been an invaluable asset to the school in many ways. His most important undertaking is that of teaching mathematics, . . . and an exceptionally oble teacher he is. He is always willing to help the cadets In any way at ony time, and when little Major Wilkinson is not around, everybody feels that something is missing. . . . that is how tightly his life has been linked with the school. CAPTAIN W. J. BUCK Energy, exactitude, and punctuality are three wonderful qualities that describe the character of Captain Buck. He teaches Latin and German, and under his strict and com- petent instruction, the cadets realize that they are here to stu dy, not to loaf. Captain Buck attended Concordia Teachers College apd has taught at the universities of Missouri and Tennessee. He takes care of the cadet bank, and it is amazing to see how joyfully he does it, and that his books are always as exact as a clock. Military schools need men like him, strict, exact, ond always full of life and vigor. MAJOR H. E. SUHRE For the past nine years Major Suhre has been of great value to this school of ours. As the head of the Commercial Department he has been unusually successful, and many cadets have received from him very tactful and efficient instruction that will be of great value to them as business-men in their future lives. He also holds the position of school Quartermaster and has very efficiently kept the cadets supplied with all they need. Major Suhre is a great lover of baseball, and after all his years here, he still thinks that the Cardinals are the best. Major H. E. Suhre Captain W. J. Buck Twenty-seven CAPTAIN F. G. SCHRANTZ Very, very deep in the hearts of the cadets will be the memory of Captain Schrantz who for the past eight years has been of an unusual value to the academic department of West- ern. His great knowledge of sciences, together with that sincere and peculiar enthusiasm which he puts into all of his classes, makes of him one of the best science teachers that our school has ever had. His genial and expres- sive by golly! has made him famous, and his smiling face together with his always pleasant and friendly disposition place him very high in the esteem of the cadets. CAPTAIN P. M. LEURIG This quiet but extremely efficient member of our faculty has done many valuable services to the school. He is one of the most prominent and learned teachers we have, having studied at several well established colleges, including Cambridge. His sociable spirit and his famous combination of smile and laugh have made him very popular with the cadets. He has taught rhetoric and literature at Western for fifteen years, including the famous or infamous Senior Lit. He has also acted os principal for the past few years and has been very efficient in his difficult and delicate duties. CAPTAIN NEWELL WILLIAMS A graduate of two of Iowa ' s colleges, and a possessor of a well-deserved master ' s degree from the University of Iowa, Captain Williams came to Western seven years ogo, as a handsome young man full of vigor and ambi- tion. He soon revealed himself to be an invaluable factor in Western ' s athletics and classwork. Due to his able coaching and efforts, swimming was developed from an activity to a major sport, and several cham- pionship teams soon became the pride of Western. He has widely travelled through Europe and South America, and he has very successfully taught our French and Spanish. Twenty-eight T Y CAPTAIN G. M. TEAL His always cheerful, friendly, and sincere personality make of him one of our most popular teachers. He is the kind of man who enjoys doing a favor or helping somebody out of trouble, and we will always think of him as one of our best friends as well as one of our best teachers. He teaches all branches of history, his class discussions being so interest- ing and enjoyable that the cadets wait with anxiety for his classes. He is a very capable coach of our C teams; his little men very often get championships, and always get an excellent training. CAPTAIN E. P. DROSTE How proud we feel when we hear about the victories and championships won by our varsity teams! . . . but there is a man to whom we owe that satisfaction, a man whom we need to raise the red and blue above the rest . . . and that man is Captain Droste. During the sad, rainy afternoons of fall, in the cold winter weather, and in the beautiful, smiling spring. Captain Droste is always there, coaching his teams, and his tireless efforts moke their suc- cess possible. He is also the head of the mathematics department, and his knowledge in that line is much respected. F A C U CAPTAIN C. H, MOORE L T Y Another alumnus of Western who returned to instruct. Captain Moore holds the offices of tactical officer and assistant commandant. His military knowledge is extensive, and there is little about guns that he does not know. He has coached the fencing teom with extra- ordinary enthusiasm and success and, since he is one of the best pistol marksmen in this part of the country, he instructs the cadets in pistol shooting very efficiently. Strong, cheerful, and ambitious is his spirit; manly, friendly, and witty is his personality; and his likes, . . . oh, his likes, . . . guns, guns, and guns, any kind of them. LIEUTENANT L. L. DOAN A graduate of West Point, he came to Western last year to ' take over the difficult position of Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Young, ambitious, and full of vigor he soon made a success of his duty, and our codet battalion was very much improved by his efforts. He is a very capable teacher of equitation, and his pupils have won many trophies in several competitions. He hos made many friends among the cadets because he understands them, and they are always glad to hear about his Interesting experiences as a cadet at West Point. CAPTAIN W. M. HINTON The Shrapnel, our school paper, something of which we are very proud and satisfied, is successfully carried to press through the constant and tireless efforts of Captain Hin- ton. He gladly sacrifices much of his time so that we can have the pleasure of getting a splendid little record of our life at Western every week. This, and his always courteous and pleasant manner, have made of Captain Hinton a very popular officer among the cadets. He has had experience in several military academies, he teaches English litera- ture, and his knowledge of that subject is unusually and very highly praised. Twenty-nino CAPTAIN FAVRE GOULD Ueutenanf Floyd Corson 7 Captain Pavre Gould This was only his second year here, but the school has already felt the beneficial results of Captain Gould ' s presence on the campus. His success as coach of our B teams was splen- did and surprising, and this year he developed three championship teams. He is the head of the social studies department at Western: after hearing him talk about social problems, one realizes that his knowledge in that field is unusuolly extensive. Sincere and friendly persons like him are very hard to find, and during his two years at Western Captain Gould has cultivated many lasting friendships among the cadets. LIEUTENANT FLOYD CORSON Doc , a graduate of Shurtleff College, came to the campus of Western last year. He teaches general science to the freshman class, and he is also in charge of the practical laboratory part of biology, a subject in which he has a very extensive and well-based know- ledge. He has opened a work shop where he has instructed many cadets in the manual arts. One of his most Important duties was the coaching of the tennis team, a responsi- bility in which he has had splendid success. Doc is young, brilliant, and very friendly: his friendships here are numerous and sincere. LIEUTENANT F. W. NACHTMANN Here is a brilliant young man who promises to become a real asset to this school of ours. A graduate of St. Louis University, Lt. Nacht- mann came to Western this last winter as a man decided to go very high, and he immedi- ately distinguished himself for his love of discipline and duty. He is a very ca pable teacher of ancient and medieval history and English in the Junior High School department. He also gives his valuable assistance to the dramatics and music departments, and his wide speaking knowledge of the Spanish and French languages is very much respected. LIEUTENANT CHARLES McMACKIN An outstanding farmer cadet at Western, Lt. McMackIn became a member of the 130th Infantry, but he came back to the dear old place to relieve Captain Thomas on com- mandant detail. Through the efforts and under the leadership of this energetic and determined young man, our field music, one of the most important factors of a military school, has become something which is worth while hearing, and something of which we are very proud and pleased. In the Military Department, Lt. McMackin has also been of much help, giving his assistance to Lt. Doon ond to Copt. Moore. Lieutenant F. W. Nachtmann Lieutenant Charles McMackin CAPTAIN C. A. THOMAS Not many years ago, Captain Thomas graduated from Western holding the rank of cadet major and with a number of other academic and athletic honors. With extensive knowledge of infantry work and tactics, he soon returned to instruct the cadets as a tactical officer. During his fourteen years here he has successfully instructed military work, and his soccer team won the champion- ship this year. Since February, Captain Thomas has been in the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, where he is studying infantry tactics; every one of the cadets has missed him very, very much. F A C U LIEUTENANT THEODORE FOSSIECK L T Y Young and vigorous, this alert officer came this year to Western, after an honorable graduation from Shurtleff College, and he immediately became one of the most popular and active instructors on the campus. Little Ted is the life guard in our swimming pool, and under his care thot place is always kept in perfect order. He is a very capoble teocher of modern history and English in the Junior High School, and his joyful spirit has won him many friends among the cadets. Ted likes horses and his favorite sport is riding, some- thing at which he is very good. MRS. C. S. PORTER Since the year of 1920 this attractive and sympathetic lady has been most active in the music activties of the corps of cadets, and since six years ago, she has had full charge of the music department at Western. Under her excellent direction our bond has improved very much, and when we march with its music during the Sunday parades, we feel very proud. Our glee club and our orchestra also get most efficient instruction from Mrs. Porter. She is a fine violin and piano player, and she gives private lessons on any instrument to the cadets. CAPTAIN C. S. PORTER For a whole decade Captain Porter had full charge of the music department at West- ern, and during that long time he was very successful in his job. In 1930 he went to Alton High School where he now has charge of the band, the glee club, and the orchestra. When he left, Mrs. Porter took charge of the music department, but Captain Porter still is the official director of our band. Captain Porter is a good singer, having a splendid baritone voice, and he is one of the most prominent organizers of all the music activities in this city of Alton. J Captain C. S. Porter Mrs. C. S. Porter Thirty-one MISS CATHERINE E. GIRARD Dr. H. P. McCuistion Miss Catherine E. Girard A little place in the heart of every cadet will always be reserved for our nurse, who during her two short years at Western has formed many, many everlasting friendships. She came last year; she immediately became acquainted with her hard duties as school nurse, and she succeeded in making of the hospitol a place where the one who needs it is able to get peace, rest, and recovery. We will never forget the one who patiently took care of us when we needed it, . . . we will never forget her smiling face, her always so sweet, kind, and attractive disposition. DR. H. P. McCUISTION We were certainly very lucky when we got Dr. McCuistion as our school doctor. A very capoble man he is, and it did not take us long to realize it. He is a graduate of Virginia Military Institute and of the School of Medi- cine of the University of Pennsylvania. He is very witty and friendly, and after his four years at Virginia Military Institute, he knows all about cadets, how they are and what they need. It is a great comfort for us to know that so excellent a doctor will take care of us If we need it. MRS. ANNA WILSON Not like a nurse, but like a mother, she has been to us, and that is why we keep her memory so deep in our hearts. For eleven years Mam Wilson has done so many serv- ices to the cadets, that trying to name them would be foolish. When with our feeble pen we try to write how much we feel for you, Mom , words fall to help us, . . . but we want you to know that time may pass, but you in our memories will remain, and your name will always be written with indelible letters in p our hearts. A C U L T Y SERGEANT WARREN F. PIGG From Jefferson Barracks he came, and he immediately became very popular among the cadets because of his friendly spirit, his splen- did good manners and his infallible neatness. He is the instructor of the military sophomore class, he supervises the military training of A Company, and he keeps the armory in a pleasant state of neatness and good order. Sergeant Pigg is the capable instructor of successful undertaking, however, was the our boxing and wrestling class. His most coaching of our rifle team, which won the championship in the 6th Corps Area Hearst Trophy Match. Thirty-two Mrs. F. N. Henderson Mrs. Newell Williams MRS. F. N. HENDERSON Mrs. Henderson, the attractive wife of our respected Commondont, is responsible for one of the most important phases of our life at Western, our social activities. She has organ- ized the dancing classes, where many new cadets get efficient instruction in a social necessity. Her excellent preparations and tireless efforts have made of our dances a success, and that is something for which we cadets are very grateful to her. Under her able supervision the Shrapnel was printed for severol yeors, and in the field of dromatics she hos also been very active, having charge of our Senior Play every year. F A C U L T MRS. NEWELL WILLIAMS Y Our best efforts to express with words what we feel for her become feeble and ridiculous when we think of all that we owe to her as our leader in the writing of this Recall of which we are so justly proud. She kept us working together for the some high ideal, she inspired us with her kind words: and with her charming and attractive personality she gave us hope and optimism. Mrs. Williams, . . . many years from now, the fruit of your efforts will help us to penetrate the vague clouds of the past, and bring us memories of our happy youth at Western Military Academy. MRS. FAVRE GOULD During her two years here, she has very efficiently instructed the cadets in the field of art. She organized the Art Club, and from that group of cadets, she has discovered and developed excellent ortists. She has taken the Art Club to visit the St. Louis Art Museum. Among the many activities of the Art Club this year have been: clay modeling, chorcoal drawing, oil and water color painting, letter- ing, cartooning, ond marionette designing. Mrs. Gould ' s modest, helpful, polite, and cheerful attitude has placed her high in the esteem of the cadets. MRS. D. C. MURPHY This is certainly one person who, for her many services to us ond for her always sweet and kind disposition, will never disappear from our memories. Mrs. Murphy studied dietics at Missouri University: for the past fifteen years she has been the school dietitian, and her supervision of our meols has always been excellent. Two brilliant young men, two sons of whom she is very justly proud, hove been graduated here at Western: one of them was valedictorian of his class and a star athlete, the other was a commissioned officer and the captain of the varsity football team.

Ziegler Thirty-four WESTERN HONORS ' k ' K VALEDICTORIAN ■ ALAN B. ANIXTER . . . The primary purpose of any school is education. For that reason, In spite of the fact that there ore admirable leaders in every field of Western, the most highly coveted position on the honor roll is that of valedictorian. Cadet Lieutenant Alan B. Anixter is number one man in scholastic standing at Western this yeor. His has been o record of four years of outstanding classroom work and excellent grades. His achievements ore not limited to books, however, for os commanding officer of the bond he has proved his worth in the military department. He has participated in athletics, and has been prominent in dramatics and numerous other activities. We, of his class, hove valued his friendship ond appreciated his willingness to help in any situation. SALUTATORIAN ■ JEAN QUENTIN TICK . . . Cadet Jean Quentin Tick ranks as second high man in the academic department. Like Anixter ' s, Tick ' s four years tell a story of fine school work and diligent study, for his name has consistently appeared on the Upper Ten in scholarship. In the military department Jean holds the rank of cadet captain and has so ably carried out the duties of his position that his outfit took the high honors in the best drilled company competition. He has been prominent in athletics all during his career as a cadet, and he has particularly distinguished himself on the football field. He has taken part in many of the school ' s other activities, and holds the office of vice-president in his class. It is with our sincere best wishes that Tick leaves us. HONOR GRADUATE ■ CLIFFORD YOUNG . . . Two years ago a very quiet, unassuming fellow came to us from Hawaii — and within a month he was a sergeant. Clifford Young is a captain this year and the Honor Graduate. When he left Hawaii he already held the rank of Cadet Colonel in an R. O. T. C. unit there. He proved himself to be an outstanding leader at once — in all the phases of life at Western. He has maintained a high standard in his class work. He won the high honors at the Spring horse show. He has played baseball, and is our ace on the tennis courts. He led the military senior class in grades this year. He fired the highest score in the Hearst Trophy Match. Next year he is going to start his soldiering in ranks once more at Virginia Military Institute. Certainly his is an enviable record.

They hove created a splendid record this year and promise an even better one next year, but it is not necessarily for these qualities that we who are leaving the school will remember them. The men themselves — our fellow participants in activities af all kinds — are what will remain langest in our memory. It is their cooperation in junior-senior efforts that makes their memory to us so pleasant. As a class we hope they will measure up to the standards we believe our class has established for them. They have elected officers who should fulfill that desire, namely: Bill Kammerer, presi- dent; Dave Liebschutz, vice-president; Carl Helmstetter, secretary; Myron Newberger, treas- urer; John Watts, sergeant-at-arms; John Dickin- son, historian. Juniors have filled the ranks of officers, non-com ' s, and dance-committeemen, working with us throughout the year. To these men we express our thanks and best wishes. Fifty-eight SOPHOMORE CLASS 1+ is often said that a boy ' s sophomore year in high school is his easiest. Probably,. however, no one could get one of these boys to acknow- ledge the truth of that statement. This has been, perhaps a difficult year tor them, but surely a happy one, too. This second-year class has turned out a large group of cadets who are fully capable of taking up the strenuous work of the juniors. There has been an unusual number of athletes from this group, and they have dis- played a lot of promise n that field for the two years to come. From the sophomore class are taken the cadet corporals of the battalion and we have had an efficient military contribution from them this term. This year is only the half- way mark for them, but it is at this paint that they have begun to indicote that they will con- stitute on excellent group of corps leaders when they finish. They have two happy and successful years ahead of them. Fitly nine FRESHMAN CLASS The freshmen have one down, and three to go. It is a long rood to their Commencement that these boys will have to travel, but they have before them a great deal to accomplish in that time. Nearly all of these fellows are plebes, finishing their first year at the Academy. It certainly hasn ' t taken them long to snap into shape, although it would have been hard to con- vince any senior of that fact six months ago, when they hod just entered. It ' s been a great year, and a great experience that this class has come through. Freshmen populote the school ' s B and C teams and It is from these organiza- tions that the Prep coaches will draw their material in a year or so. Each year ' s freshman class has an outstanding student who is slated to rise to corps leadership in later years. We feel that this Year ' s class has several such men. Al- though they have had little opportunity to show us what they can do as officers, they have dis- played qualities which will eventually develop real leadership and class cooperation. ' k -ic Sixty JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL A lot of little fellows just getting a start in their lives as cadets, they have baasted quite a large group this year and have made some very remarkable progress in the various activities in which they have participated. Several of these young men have broken into the ranks of our high school athletics and have made their several coaches sit up and take notice, while others have produced an academic honor roll which cer- tainly should continue on to high school Upper Ten qualifications. As a combined group they produced some excellent plays toward the end of the year. Their D foatball team was certainly something for the class ta be proud of. It is true that when these boys graduate, four and five years from now, their number will have been added to and subtracted from many times, but with the start they are getting now, and the progress they have shown this year, they should come through high school on top. We feel that It will be interesting ta get an alumni-view of them In about 1941 — proud seniors. SIxty-one STAFF The bechevroned sleeves, the shoulder bur- dened with responsibility, the main cog in the machine of the cadet corps — the Bottalion Staff. These men, upon whom devolve the difficult duties of making our battalion function as a well drilled unit, are well known to all of us. Acting Battalion Commanders Jean Tick, Clifford Young, and John Henderson merit the admira- tion of their classmates as well as that of the mili- tary department. Cadet Lieut. Adj. Kammerer, whose sound-offs at parade and at retreat are familiar to all, has performed excellently on all occasions. Cadet Supply Lieut. Ruby has been a valuable aid both to the military department and to the commandant detail. Wherever we see it, the staff represents the spirit af the Corps — efficiency plus ability. COLOR GUARD To the Color Guard is entrusted the care and the safe keeping of the National and the School Colors that are carried at all important cere- monies throughout the yeor. The Colors repre- sent a living country and a living school. They are themselves a living symbol. The Cadet Battalion became the proud pos- sessor of a new School Colors which was pre- sented by the Recall staff of last year. This was carried out in a very impressive ceremony on Eaton Field last Thanksgiving Day. The honor and the privilege of maintaining the sanctity of the flags was given to this select four: Color Sergeants Paul Sommers and Jack Ellison and Color Corporals Ray Pollom and Dick Rogers. Sixty-five ■iC -k COMMISSIONED OFFICERS -k ' k • ' MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO — A sound mind in a sound body. How well the commissioned officers of this year ' s corps measure up to Western ' s school motto! Yes, Western has instilled in this select group of military seniors qualities that will moke them leaders even after they hove left school. Everyone realizes the responsibility which falls upon the shoulders of the cadet captains and lieutenants who hove drilled the corps throughout the year. Not only ore these positions ones of honor, os every- one who sees the parades cr other formations knows, but also they are ones of hard work which merit what honor or glory the officers might receive. Military training has taught these cadets to do their duty at the right time, in the right way, ond in an efficient manner. It has given them the essentials of leadership, self-confidence in the power to control and to command, and the ability to handle others in varying situations. In this respect it has taught them that real and vital leadership must not be based entirely on official prerogatives of rank or position, rather on personality, force of choracter, sincerity of purpose, and personal interest in those whom they lead. The Cadet Captains, Jean Tick, Clifford Young, and John Henderson have splendidly exemplified the qualities of leadership and have brought, through their friendly rivalry, their companies to highest stondards on the drill field. Lieutenants Bob Rush, Jack O ' Malley, Edwin Andres, Alan Anix- ter, Dan Roberts, Burton Ruby, Phil Pettes, Bill Kammerer, Bob Kalbfell, Edward Handlan, John Shiell, and Eddie Vogler have proved to be officers who have acquired the spirit of cooperation, loyalty, physical and mental alertness, and a feeling of responsibility for the acts of those entrusted to them. Sixty-six ■ic A COMPANY ' ♦c A Company was composed largely of new men this year with the exception of the commissioned and non-commissioned officers. Those first few weeks for these men were very hard ones for everyone concerned. Patience was a primary qualification. Without patience the instructors would have given up, for there was much awkwardness and clumsiness to overcome. By dint of careful planning, hard work, intense interest, and cooperative spirit on the part of everyone, A Company had the best drilled squad. Corporal Jackson commanding; best drilled combat squad. Corporal Polinsky commanding; best drilled old man. Cadet Buck, and the best drilled new man. Cadet Livingston. This shows what co- operation can accomplish, and it is a typical result of the spirit which existed throughout the year. Too much credit cannot be given to Cadet Clifford Young for the outstanding manner In which A Company has performed throughout the entire year. ’’Cliff was an outstanding man in the mili- tary senior class and also a true shot on the rifle team — firing the highest In the 6th Corps Area. When the season opened, it looked os if the first platoon would be a hard one to whip into shape. No one could have done better than did Jack O’Malley. A good sense of humor and a ready wit, backed with military knowledge, soon brought this outfit to a standard easily comparable to the best of them at Western. The second platoon was under the able tutelage of Lieut. Bob Kalbfell. After a few months’ training they became part of a well- drilled unit whose excellency could not be disputed, Lieut. Edward Handlan, First Sergeant Tom Rush, and tactical officer Sergeant Pigg, should be given credit for their eornest help at all times. Sixty-seven ' K B COMPANY -ir It was once said that never one thing and seldom one person can make a success. It takes a number of them merging into one perfect whole. No com- pany in the Corps can be said to be a perfect whole, but B Company has gone an exceptionally long way in that direction. How so many brittle characters happened to land in one company no one ever knows. But those men profited — much as others will profit from the im- print they hope to have made on their successors. Some cadets think of their companies as a parade formation, a mess formation, or a competitive athletic team. However, such an attitude could never have won the best drilled company competi- tion. Such a spirit in B Company therefore, must have given way to a pride in accomplishment as a whole and to the fine spirit of cooperation between officers and men. The spirit of cooperation present in the Company the entire year has already been commended, but it is deserving of still more praise. At the annual Government Inspection this spirit rose to spectacu- lar heights and produced drills so snappy and so exact that they won for B Company the warm praises of the inspecting officers. The fine qualities of leadership which were so outstandingly displayed by the Company ' s officers are, in great measure, responsible for the Com- pany ' s success. Cadet Captain Jean Tick has put in many hard and faithful hours for his outfit both on the drill field and off it. The hard work of Lieu- tenants Phil Pettes and Bob Rush put their platoons into the championship class. The Company was also fortunate to have such able assistants as Lieutenant John Shiell, First Sergeant Charles Dickinson, and Captain Moore, tactical officer. Sixty-eight ■iC C COMPANY -k Members of C Company hove learned to work together, and hove mode many friendships in the cadet corps. The firmness and permanence of these bonds will be a measure of the success of their cadet lives. In every phase of corps activity, we find the men of C well represented. It can hardly be said that these boys were selected because of their advanced age or skill on the drill field, but they have done as much and shared as many honors as the other companies of the battalion. No description of the career of C in the year 1936-1937 would be complete without a reference to John Henderson, who probably did more than any other individual toward the development of this company. As the year draws to a close, it is recog- nized that Johnny ' s leadership has been a big feature in the bringing of this outfit to a point where it con compete with the best of them. The group of officers, non-commissioned officers, and cadets, who composed C” Company this year, by constant efforts of cooperation and leadership changed the company from a ragged condition, with which all companies must begin, to an efficient, well organ- ized group of thoroughly trained cadets. It took a great deal of diligent work on the part of Lieutenant Edwin Andres, who was in charge of the second platoon and later took on more duties in the company, to create an outfit that was really grounded in the fundamentals of drill. Lieutenant Dan Roberts put the first platoon through their paces and was at the same time in charge of the Bugle Band. Outstanding juniors were Lieutenant Edward Vogler, who won the high military honors of his class, and First Sergeant Herbert Burrows. Sixty-nino ■iC THE BAND -ic Much credit should be given to each member of the band for his excellent performance throughout the year. These men have given many of their valuable free C. Q’s to practice weekly and at the same time have kept up in the military class work. In fact, many of the bandsmen were among the highest in their theoretical program. This is well shown since the greater part of them were either sergeants or corporals. Lieutenant Alan Anixter has been influential in his four years here at Western. Al has been not only the ranking officer of the band this year, but also a member of several other musical organiza- tions. The chief musician. Sergeant George Stein- goetter, has given all of us many a high C on his trumpet at parades which will never be forgotten. There are so many other excellent players that it is impossible to enumerate all of them, but the seniors. Bruce Danforth, Wayne Anderson, Bud Henkel, Ray Cleiman, Edgar Sanditen, Taylor Hamilton, who have been developed Into excellent musicians, will go far in any musical organization into which they enter in days to come. Many remarks have been offered by the people who have come to Western to see our parades — ironies, untruths, criticisms, and many praises, but the entire cadet corps realizes that without this valuable organization the military department would lose the greater part of its color since the band plays at all parades, reviews, and many extra entertainments that fall in our schedule. This year the band has been under the able di rection of Captain and Mrs. Porter, supervising the music. Lieutenant McMackin has given them full training on the drill field, the results of which can be seen at weekly parades. Seventy The military department had confidence that the inspectors would find Western one of the finest schools of its kind in the country. The barracks were immaculate and all rifles at the review and inspection which was carried out in the drill holl were found to be in perfect order. Few mistakes could bo found in the various drill, field problems, practical, and theoretical classes. The corps performed excellently, although most of the inspection was held in the rain. N S P E The officers and cadets of the battalion awaited the judgment of the War Department, secure in the knowledge that the results of the inspection would reflect the utmost credit on the academy. The corps is very grateful for the valu- able training by the officers of the military department. Major Henderson, Lieutenant Doan. Captain Moore, Captain Thomas, Lieutenant McMackIn, and Sergeant Pigg. Every year the new cadets of the corps hear a great deal concerning the rigor of the annual Government Inspection. In many cases its ap- proach gives rise to considerable fear and trembling. When April 20th and 21st rolled around this year, it was interesting to note that all signs of uncertainty and anxiety seemed to vanish into thin air. The inspection is the real test of leadership, confidence, and manhood. It is the supreme test of the year ' s military program. When Major Livesay and Major Jeffres stepped into the bar- racks out of the rain, the entire battalion was ready for any test that might be put before them by these men who judged whether Western should be placed on the Honor List of military schools over the United States. Sevenfy-one All in all the athletic year here at Western was a successful one. As the year progressed a sizable number of championships was won and a fine standing gained in the ABC league. Games were lost and games were won, and there is no doubt that each minute in every game or contest will bring back memories to those who participated. Last fall when the king of sports , football, took to the field over one hundred cadets were out every night, each working for a place on his own particular first team. Every aggregation, from A to D , did well In its class. The A team ended in second place in the ABC league and in third place In the Prep league. The B eleven dominated its group and came out champions. Capt. Teal ' s ”C team like the B team achieved first honors in its division. This fighting little bunch went through the entire season undefeated. The younger cadets out for the D team learned a lot of good football that will prove valuable to them in later years. As the football season closed the winter sports came in with a bang. Basketball, swimming, and soccer were soon In full swing. This particular season of winter sports was one of the best recorded in athletic history at Western. Championships were won in A basketball, B bas- ketball, and A soccer. A tie was obtained for first ploce by our team in the Prep division of basketball. The Prep swimming team just missed winning the St. Louis district championship by one meet, and this meet was lost by one point. The team won other meets in the usual prep swimming team manner. One school record wos broken, the 100-yard breast stroke, by Vance Shield. He lowered the old record by one second. An outstanding showing was made by the Prep rifle team, which won the Hearst Trophy for 6th Corps Area supremacy in range tiring. Spring came bringing with it those three popular sports, — track, baseball, and tennis. Hours on hours of diligent practice made possible the things that were accomplished in these fields. All three of these A teams made fine showings. The baseball team, however, was most out- standing: its fine record did much to put Western on top in the ABC league. Seventy-five PREP FOOTBALL WESTERN 6— CARMI 0, October 3 Carmi had a good goal line defense which kept Western from scoring. The last ten yards were the hardest for the W team to make. The only score in the game came in the third quarter when Kammerer hit the line and went over. WESTERN 0— C.B.C. 33, October 10 Western was not in condition to meet such a strong team. We began the game with a rush but were soon forced back. By the end of the first quarter C.B.C. had proved its superiority. After this game C.B.C. went on to win the Prep league championship. WESTERN 6— McBRIDE 20, October 17 McBride crossed the W goal line twice in the first half. In the second half W came to life and took the ball on our own 20 yd. line and marched it the full length of the field in a fine exhibition of football. A few minutes later we crossed the McBride goal to make the score 14-6. In the last quarter McBride scored on an intercepted pass to clinch the game. WESTERN 32— BURROUGHS 13, October 24 We scored once in the first quarter to lead at the half 6-0. At the beginning of the second half the W team came to life and scored two touchdowns which gave W a nice lead. In the third quarter Burroughs scored two touchdowns. W immediately scored two more touchdowns which clinched the victory. WESTERN 13— ST. LOUIS U. HIGH 0, October 31 This game was played on our own field. Western, still tingling with the victory over Burroughs outplayed and outfought the St. Louis team to win by a margin of 13-0. The superiority of W ' s team was never in doubt. WESTERN 6— COUNTRY DAY 12, November 5 Furlough and football apparently do not mix, because W played Country Day on the same day that fall furlough started. W scored on a fine run by Wertman to lead at the half 6-0. In the second half C.D. tied the score. This seemed to demoralize the cadets who then permitted the C.D. team to repeat with another touchdown. Seventy-six •PREP TEAM WESTERN 28 — PRINCIPIA 6, November 14 Meeting Principio on Taylor Field the following week, Western played a fine brand of football. At the half W was leading 14-7. In the second half W scored twice again to make the final count 28-6. WESTERN 0 — ALTON 18, November 26 In the final game of the year Alton, the traditional rival, again emerged victorious. A strong team, headed by an all-state end, was too consistent in its play far the W team. Kammerer made some fine gains but the team was unable to score on Alton. Alton ' s first score came on a long pass following a penalty and the W team was never able to get back the pep it had had before this happened. The game as usual was played in the snow. THE SEASON AS A WHOLE Kammerer went through the whole season of play without his usual jinx of being kept out of the Alton game. Wertman and Foster showed up splendidly on off-tackle and end runs. There was fine play in the defensive line. We hod two new ends this year, HIgbee and Helmstetter, both men were well fitted for their jobs. The guards, Haas and Henderson, were outstanding offensively and defensively. Henkel and Tick at center were both new but they played a steady game all season. Millard at tackle played surprisingly well. Buchner won an all-star berth on the ABC League Team at tackle. A large squad went through the entire season. 24 members earned varsity letters. The team finished second in the ABC League and third in the Prep League. Sports writers in St. Louis called the Western line the 5 H line — Higbee, Helmstetter, Henkel, Henderson, Haas, — The Heck How He Hits Him . The squad will leave a nucleus of twelve men around which to build next year ' s team. Seventy-seven B FOOTBALL Touchdownl This word rang constantly in the ears of the Championship B” team. Champion of the ABC League, the team won 6 gomes, lost I, and tied I. The team, as a whole, was always smaller than its opponent but it never gave up and kept digging right in when the going was the toughest. This year ' s team was composed of a large percentage of new men with a few men of last year ' s C team to complete the outfit. The outstonding men were: in the backfield, Dupont, L., punting; Hagnauer, passing; Ditto, L., blocking; Schuwerk, end runs. In the line. Wise, center; Cuyler, guard; Jeffress, tackle. To Captain Gould goes the credit for this marvelous team. Most of the team will be back for another season at Western. C FOOTBALL On Saturday, November 14, 1936 the C team, already sure of a title, finished its season undefeated by walloping Country Day ' s C eleven 27-0. Western ' s team has not been defeated or tied this season. The success of the team lay wholly in its drive and stick-to-itiveness. The backfield men, Dickinson, Pardee, C., Short, and Keller, aided by a strong line mode substantial gains on every ploy. This year ' s C team was one of the most outstanding ever turned out ot Western. Much of the credit for the success of the team goes to Capt. Teal who, through his persistent efforts, turned out a championship team. D FOOTBALL The D team is composed of the youngest cadets in school, boys who have never played football before. The idea of the D team at Western Is not so much to go out ond win all the games they can but more to teach these younger fel- lows how to take it in the rough and tumble game of football. These fellows ore the foundation for the C team and ultimately the Prep team. The D boys this year played about 10 games but were not able to win ony of them. However, they never lost their drive and couroge. These boys were always outclassed for size and age but they had It all over their opponents when it come to having good football equipment. The squad this year was composed of 14 men. Their big moment came when they played between the halves of the St. Louis Unlversity-Creighton game before 12,000 spectators. The team put on a wonderful display of razzle dazzle football. The crowd enjoyed it immensely which was shown by their hearty applause.

Last year the team lost twelve lettermen, leaving only four lettermen to start this year ' s team with. Long and consistent workouts finally whipped the team into shape. The boys had several hard meets this year, among them being the Roosevelt meet. All during the meet the races were very close. It seemed as though the score would depend upon the final relay. The Western relay won fairly easily but the score had been added up wrong, and the meet ended 331 2 fo 32 2 in Roosevelt’s favor. This was the first time a high school team In this district had defeated a Western swimming team in five years. The team was scheduled to swim Lincoln High School in Des Moines, Iowa but the meet had to be called aff because of o conflict in the Iowa schedule. However, onother meet was arranged with The Rolla School of Mines in Rollo, Missouri. This trip will be a memorable one to the men who made it, as they had to drive through one of the heaviest snowstorms this part of the country has ever experienced. Western won this meet by a score of 45 to 21. The Western entries in the A.A.U. meet this year made a very good showing, taking fourth ploce in the meet. Pettes and Newberger won medals for second and third place respectively in the 100 yd. free style, while Shield, V. won o medal by taking third place in the lOO-yd. breast stroke. The 200-yd. relay team, com- Eighty SWIMMING CLINIC A swimming clinic, the first of its type attempted in this district, was organized by Captain Williams this year. High school cooches from with- in 0 radius of 200 miles attended the demonstrations. Dove Armbruster of Iowa, one of the three leading swim- ming coaches in the country, was in charge of the clinic. He brought with him four nationally known swimmers, Dick Westerfield, Roy Walters, Bob Reed, and Bob Christian, who dem- onstrated their various strokes. SWIMMERS posed of Anderson, Henderson, Newberger, and Pettes, won a third place in the meet. Western has been the only high school to enter the A.A.U. for the lost five years. The men who mode up this year ' s team were: captain, John Henderson, sprints and relay; Pettes, 40-yd. free style, medley relay; Newberger, lOO-yd. free style, relay; Anderson, relay; Snyder, W., 220-yd. free style: Sommers, P., 200-yd. free style; Roberts, lOO-yd. backstroke; Mueller, lOO-yd. backstroke: Henkel, relay; Keller, dives; Higbee, dives: Bynum, dives: Shield, V., lOO-yd. breast stroke; Deacon, lOO-yd. breast stroke: Reichman, lOO-yd. breast stroke; Ditto, L., sprints, relay; Oldacre, sprints, and Engle, relay. Shield, V. was the only mon to break a school record this year. He set a new record of 1:16 in the lOO-yd. breast stroke. The old record of 1:17 had stood for 10 years. The captains of next year ' s team are Newberger and Shield, V. Much of the credit for this year ' s championship team goes to Captain Newell Williams who, through his constant efforts, made this team what it was. The B swimming team insures future success for the Prep team. The men who composed this year ' s B team were: Ellison, Norris, Lyman, Hazzard, Girdler, Rush, T., Hicks, Sommers, W., and Bradley. The team had several meets this year and was successful in winning the majority of them. Most of the men who made up this year ' s B team will go on to moke their Prep letters.

Although badly crippled by losses from graduation, Western ' s Prep basketball squad has again turned in a sparkling season, seizing a tie for the championship of the Prep League and the undisputed ABC title. The season was decisively marked by the brilliant team-work of the entire squad, showing an exceptionally strong defense and powerful, fast-clicking offense. Coach Droste deserves much credit for rounding out what seemed to all appearances, a green, inexperienced and mediocre team. Kammerer and Foster, lettermen of the preceding season, together with a competent group of new men, Smith, Walker, Wheeler, Rogers, and Tick, formed the foundation of the team. Capt. Droste was well-supplied with a collection of able re- serves, including Buchner, De Nio, Epperson, Douglos, Zam, and Sokolsky, with which no team can do without. BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS Eighty-two Copt. Kammerer was one of the leading guards in both leagues, being an ex- ceptionally strong defensive man as well as a reliable scorer. Foster demonstrated his versatility at forward either offensively or defensively, always being a dangerous scorer. Walker, the other guard, showed an uncanny ability to come through with a needed basket at the right time. Smith was an excellent center, being particularly efficient under the basket. Wheeler held the other forward post, also proving to be a consistent scorer. Rogers and Tick were used effectively at all posts. After two preliminary victori es, one over the highly-rated Wood River quintet, the squad in true Western style began the regular season with a hard victory over St. L. U. High 26-23. Western received its first setback in the next game at the hands of C.B.C. 21-14, the squad not showing its usual fight. Still burning from their first defeat, the squad retaliated with two fast and convincing victories, the first over Principia 37-22, and the second from McBride 30-22. The next game found the team far below par, losing to Codasco 28-18. The following game with St. L. U. High proved to be the thriller of the season. The desperate St. Louis team, still stinging from its first defeat at the hands of Western, had run up a 18-10 margin with a little less than five minutes to ploy. It was at this point the cadets suddenly did the unexpected. In quick succession, five field goals were dropped in, the last of which being a long shot from the center circle that seemingly touched the rafters before swishing neatly through the loop — thus giving Western a wild 20-18 decision with but seconds left to ploy. The next game with C.B.C. found Western leading 8-7 after a thrilling half. In contrast to the week before, the cadets fell before o barrage of field goals 16-10. The quintet fell into its stride for the remainder of the season, sweeping all five of the remaining games. Burroughs was the first to fall before a determined cadet quintet 25-18. The next victim was Codasco by a score of 24-22 after a hard fought battle. McBride then fell before Western ' s fast-clicking offense 24-13. The cadets rose to greater heights by a decisive victory over Burroughs 42-28. The final game with Principia proved to be a close one, with Prin using an excellent defense. The cadets, with a title at stake, were not to be halted in their championship rise, however, and another victory resulted, 16-13. The entire cadet corps looks forward to next year’s hoopsters to hold up not only Western ' s excellent record of preceding years but also the fine sportsmanship and spirit always shown by Western teams in all competition. Captain Droste will again face the problem of seriously lacking experienced players for next season. Captain Kammerer being the only letterman to return. The greater part of this problem will be capably taken care of by a large group of B and ”C players. So without hesitating, we may feel quite sure that the success of the ' 38 quintet will carry high the honors of former teams of Western. B CHAMPS TEAM B BASKETBALL C BASKETBALL A fighting B” squad hung up another championship for their alma mater los- ing only one game during their entire season. Though the lack of returning lettermen threatened prospects at the beginning of the season, Capt. Gould turned out his usual fast, smooth-clicking offense. This squad together with the C team will form the foundation of future Prep teams — league Champions, we hope! This year ' s C squad was undoubtedly the smollest team Capt. Teal has worked with for a good many years. Size makes little differ- ence, however, when a good record can be turned in. The C squad finished second in the ABC standings, showing surprising abil- ity both offensively and defensively. Their exciting 23-22 victory over the Prin- cipia C team gave Western a clean sweep in athletics on the annual Principia Day. Eighty-four RIFLE TEAM FENCING Crack! — Another bullseye! This time squarely in the center of the Hearst Trophy. After a somewhat mediocre season, the team, under the coaching of Sgt. Pigg, won first place in the annual Hearst Trophy match. Its total reached 902 out of the possible 1000, with Young, C. scoring 190 out of 200 to capture individuol honors. Young, C., Barr, Dupont, J., Polinsky, and the team cap- tain, Bynum, made up the Trophy squad, with Garza as the squad ' s other regular member. En garde — the cry of Western ' s valiant swordsmen — and the familiar clicking of the flashing swards has again upheld the honor of Western in this age-old sport. Under the capable guidance of Captain Moare, the team developed rapidly. Shiell, J., Steingoetter, and Burrows made up the nucleus of the squad. They were ably sup- ported by Wood, Ruby, Casey, Crouse, Hoegen, and Barr, all of whom showed up splendidly under competitive pressure. RIFLE TEAM FENCING TEAM Eighty-five SOCCER CHAMPS The Red and Blue once again have come out on top! This time it was in a sport comparatively new at Western — soccer, under the bril- liant coaching of Captain Thomas. Although this season was only the cadets ' third year of competition in soccer as a major sport in the ABC League, the team came through with an unmarred season, winning four games and tying two in league competition. The cadets, after a few stiff warm-ups with the Owens-Illinois Glass Company and Jeffer- son Barracks teams, opened their season decisively by trouncing Principia 4-1. The next game, with Codasco, played in a deluge of mud and water, took on the aspect of woter polo, ending in a 0-0 deadlock. The following game, although played in much better conditions, also ended in a deadlock, this time, 2-2. John Burroughs furnished the opposition. The second game with Country Day turned inta a 2-1 victary. This was closely followed by another decisive victory over Principia 2-0. In true Western style, the squad downed Burroughs in the season ' s finale, 2-1. This game proved to be the thriller of the season, the outcome deciding the championship. With only three of the varsity squad graduating, Kummer, Sallwasser, and Danforth, Capt. Thomas has high hopes of repeating this year ' s record and then some. Eighty-six Runners to your marks — get set — and they ' re off. The Red and Blue thinclads ore out to bring home a victory in one of the oldest of sports — the Olypiads (alias track). The team ' s seasonal record does not say much for the success of the squad, as the team was consistently faced by tough breaks in the running department. It was this dire need of sprinters that proved costly In the more closely con- tested meets. Cooch Droste was well fortified in the field, however, having the usual strength in the weights. Kammerer, captain of the squad, together with Buchner, could always be depended on In the shot and discus. A number of good men made up the jumping department, of which the pole vaulters. Rush, T., Dickinson, and Vogler, E. were outstanding. Norris and Trimble were prominent in the distances. Poncher and Dickinson were the Red and Blue sprinters, while the cadet hurdling was held down by May In the highs and Wheeler in the lows. This year ' s junior material definitely points toward great future teams. While this year ' s season has been only mediocre, the efforts of the team and Coach Droste will be justified through the development of younger athletes. TRACK SQUAD Eighty-seven America ' s favorite pastime holds an im- portant place in spring athletics among the cadets. The record of the cadet nine has proved that baseball deserves Its importance. In the last two years the squad has progressed rapidly under its new mentor, Capt. Gould. This year the squad came through with flying colors, win- ning the championship of the ABC League. Western had a man on first at the begin- ning of the season, as there were seven regular veterans of the ' 36 squad from which to build up champions. The regular infield was composed of Higbee at first, Cuyler at second. Burst at short, and Sallwasser at third. This combina- tion turned in some excellent fielding besides being a dangerous outfit at the plate. The out- field was made up of Stivers at the left field post, Schuwerk in center, and either Henkel, Smith, Foster or Andres in right. Henkel, Smith and Foster were also good infielders. The receiving end of the battery consisted of Krueger and Deacon, while the twirling was principally han- dled by Hagnauer, Henkel and Wall. Hagnauer turned in an excellent one-hit decision over Co- dasco, shutting them out 4-0. In one of the season ' s thrillers, the Red and Blue, trailing Bur- roughs by four runs, rallied in a late inning to score five runs, thereby putting the game and at least a partial championship on ice . The squad met stiff opposition in the Prep league and was not always victorious. Western players were held hitless in a game against McBride but that still didn ' t stop their putting over a run, although losing 8-1. The squad this year has more than done it- self justice under the fire of stiff competition. Eighty-eight Ready! Service! The team started off with a bang this year but it was slowed up on account of rainy weather. However, it came up to take second place in both the Prep and ABC League. Led by acting captain, Cliff Young, the team made splendid progress. It really found its stride after the second game with Country Day. The team was composed of seven men. Young, C., Helmstetter, Dietrich, Speise, Anderson, Walker, and Ruby. Young, C., Dietrich, and Speise were the singles men, while the remainder made up the doubles. The tennis team was picked in a unique way this year. A tournament was held which every cadet in school was eligible to enter. Each man had to be defeated twice before he was eliminated. In this way the final number was boiled down to twelve. Some of these men dropped out until seven were left. These seven men put in many hours of dilgent practice and shaped into a well-rounded team. They came out well in all competitive matches with other schools and made a fine show- ing in the ABC league. Of course all opposition was not confined to the league. Practice matches with Shurtleff College and the Alton DeMolays helped the players to find mistakes in form. They can look back on the post season with pride, for it was a successful one. When Captain Thomas left lost winter, there was no one to take his place as coach of the tennis team. Lieutenant Corson promptly offered his services. They were gratefully accepted and it is to him that the tennis team owes Its success. He has worked hard and really turned out a splendid team. TENNIS TEAM Eighty-nine The most influential and important organi- zation connected with athletic life at Western is the W Club. All rules governing the issu- ing of letters and the wearing of letter sweat- ers are made by the cadets who have fulfilled the requirements for entrance into this club. One of the highest athletic honors that can be obtained is membership in the organiza- tion. Because of the fine showing that was made by Western teams in winter sports, the W club members were the guests of Col. R. L. Jackson at a dinner dance given at the Mis- souri Athletic Club. This was the big event of the year for the club. The following men, this year ' s members, make it their aim to uphold the standard of athletics at Western Military Academy: Kammerer president Henderson vice-president Anderson sec. -treasurer Tick Buchner Snyder, W. Deacon Smith, R. Foster Streeper Helmstetter Sallwasser Henkel Wertman Katz Wheeler Krueger Young, C. Liebschutz Zam May Andres Millard Barth Newberger Kaplan Honorary Members Ninety We, the staff, wish to express our gratitude to our adviser, Lowene Williams, and to Cadets Crouse and Pordee, our ortists, for the help they have given us in compiling this, the 1937 Recall. ★ SENIORS ON PARADE ★ Work, work, work — rewrite, rewrite, rewrite . . . familiar words to this year ' s Recall staff.

It has been a won- derful project and both departments, editorial and business, have gladly given much of their time and energy to make publication possible. Advised and aided by Mrs. Wil- liams, the following staff has produced this, the fifteenth volume of the Recall: Henderson, Roberts, Tick, O ' Malley, Rush, Steingoetter, Kummer, Garza, Anderson, Wheeler, Anixter, Hamilton, Andres, Henkel, Higbee, Poncher, Ruby, and Johnson. These are the men, who helped make our dances possible. It was their duty to secure the dotes, hire an orchestra and do the other things that al- ways make a dance a success. The entire Corps as well as the committee is deeply grateful to Mrs. Hen- derson for her constant efforts to make our dances possible. The committee con- sisted of thirteen sen- iors: John Henderson, master of ceremonies; Phil Pettes, chairman; Bob Rush, John O ' Mal- ley, George Steingoet- ter, Dan Roberts, Bill Kammerer, Alan Anixter, Jean Tick, Bob Foster, Glenn Higbee, Herbert Henkel, and Burton Ruby.

Ninety-seven Second Childhood, a comedy, wos the play selected for the seniors to present during Commencement. Mrs. Henderson guided the cast through six weeks of hard practice. Those in the cast were: Steingoetter, Anderson, Henkel, Rush, Engle, Henderson, O ' Malley, Higbee, Kummer, Bynum, Speisc, Cleiman, Andres, Casey, Wertman, Ruby, Hamilton and Sallwasser. This has been a busy year for dramatics at Western. In addition to the regular class plays, directed by Mrs. Newell Williams, there have been several other productions, in- cluding the musical comedy, School for Husbands , directed by Rhea McAdams. At Christmas an impres- sive costume play was presented, and later the music department staged a variety show. Cadet Ziegler present- ed a marionette show. ★ INTERCLASS ★ ★ INTERCLASS ★ The men in West- ern ' s orchestra have spent the entire year working hard in the music studio to pro- vide a means of musi- cal entertainment for the corps. They have worked up a small, but well-instrumented, or- ganization which has served its purpose well. Five of the members have been enrolled over a year, namely. Rush, Andres, Trimble, Danforth, and Engle. Deacon, Smiley, and Lyman began their services this year. Under the excellent direction of Mrs. C. S. Porter the group progressed throu ghout the year giving their own time to make the work a success. No one can forget the splendid service rendered by these men at the Commencement exercises. complete its part in the mid-winter variety show, and The net results of the club ' s work were due in the Porter of the music department. Throughout the whole year the merry strains of the school ' s vocal organization, the glee club, have re- sounded lustily about the campus. Every Sun- day afternoon the members of this group have filed out of the schoolroom and up to the music studio to their weekly practice. As a result of these faithful toilings the glee club has perfected it- self as a choral group and has entertained the corps on various occasions. For example, it worked very hard to formed a colorful chorus in the musicol comedy, main to the excellent instruction and direction of Mrs. Ninety-eight ★ INTERCLASS ★ Here are the men who furnish the music for our formations. It’s that music which mokes us march just o little stroighter and step just a little livelier . . . even on the way to break- fast when the sun hasn ' t yet made its ap- pearance and bed seems so lovely a place to be. Nor should we forget that the trum- peters who do their share of tearing us away from our beds, and who turn us back into them some fifteen hours later, come from the bugle band. They ' re out in all sorts of weather blowing the calls, keeping up the routine. This year ' s bond, under the direction of Lieut. McMackin and Cadet Lieut. Roberts, has been one of the best in Western ' s history. Rippling rythm — that ' s what they call it, and its none other than Shep Danforth and all his boys. Just how and when this popular aggregation got its start we don ' t know, but when the mid-winter variety show was presented some- one suggested that the jazz band be included in the program. The boys were a sensation at once. Finding them- selves so much in de- mand the musicians decided to continue their efforts seriously: regular practice hours were established, and a coming young Alton- ite, Jean Gere, agreed dances and entertainments. Are they good? Just ask us! to help them learn the funda mentals. Before long we hod them playing at informal Ninety-nine ★ INTERCLASS ★ Here is o new and highly successful activi- ty. No longer is there any need to write on walls or desk tops, be- couse Western now has on art class ter those more artistically inclined cadets who teel the urge to illus- trate. The club got its start late this fall and became popular at once. Not only have the Western artists had a good time working under the able guid- ance of Mrs. Gould, but they have turned out some signs, post- ers, and scenery which have been of value to the corps. When we think of scenery we immediately picture Crouse, Wahlert, or Pardee on o wobbly ladder applying paint tenderly to that back wall of the stage. . . and mighty good scenery too! Last winter these cadets trained consis- tently until they caught on to the fundamen- tals of self-defense. They were not sep- arated into wrestling and boxing teams, but the entire group first took up boxing and after a month or so they took up wrestling. The group was divided into four weight divi- sions. In the heavy- weight class were Held and Streeper, in the welterweight class were Garza and Polin- sky, in the lightweight class were O ' Malley, E., and Paulson. As a whole the class made excellent showings throughout the winter. Sergeant Pigg, the coach, had been in charge of athletics at Jefferson Barracks. He holds many awards for boxing and wrestling, so you see the class was under good supervision and learned the tricks of the trade. One Hundred ★ INTERCLASS ★ Fore! There goes that little white pill for a hole-in-one. This spring has seen Wertmon, Zam, Ditto, and many others moke daily journeys to the local country club to play nine or eighteen holes of golf. From the rather large number of golfers that storted playing, a regular team was picked for tourna- ment play. Because of its consistent practice the team made fine showings in all of the competitive matches it entered. The fellows were very fortunate in having special coachings from Mr. Wotts, who is himself an excellent player. They are also grateful to Capt. Williams for taking up much of his valuable time in order that they might enjoy their favorite sport. One Hundred One In this organization CV.06 we have an assortment of tlie school ' s best horsemen. The club, sponsored and coached by Lt. L. L. Doan, is closing its first and very successful year. Clifford Young, the president, received many awards for his fine showing in the St. Louis Horse Show, as did several other riders. A drill team wos formed by the club. Under the careful tute- lage of Lt. Doan, it put on some very in- teresting and difficult demonstrations. The club now consists of some twenty-five members, who may prove to be our future cavalry officers. SEPTEMBER 24; We ' re back . . . remember? Ready ta begin Western ' s 58th in earnest.
