I + is with the deepest and sincerest feeling of admiration and gratitude that we, the cadet corps of Western ' s fifty-ninth year, note your approbative achievements. Since your particular and distinc- five June weeks, you Western graduates have delved into numerous fields of activity, some of which are enhancing and pleasant, and others of which take on a more grave and serious aspect. One of the greatest distinctions of manhood is to have the privilege and the honor of fighting for one ' s country. Five hundred and seventy-one of you alumni acted on behalf of America in the world’s futile strife for democracy, the great World War. Of these patriots, six gave their last full measure of devotion for the advance- ment of the cause which they held so sacred. Fortunately, this volun- tary sacrifice was not demanded of those who returned from Flanders Field to re-enter their various phases of our tranquil life alongside of those alumni who so conscientiously gave civilian aid. Since the war clouds drifted into the past, our alumni have continued in their role of advancing the progress and importance of our nation. Some have turned towards law, some towards medi- cine, some towards engineering, some towards transportation, some towards commerce, finance and banking. Their achievements in their respective fields have acted and will continue to act as a guiding light for our present and future cadet battalions. In flourishing the colors of the Blue and Red, we feel greatly the influence that you alumni have made in our present environment. You graduates, who so proudly and respectfully term Western your alma mater, have contributed much towards the development and promotion of the Academy. An educational institution is judged greatly upon the basis of the quality and -character of the men it produces, and the success they attain. It is with much pleasure and gratitude that Western acclaims the distinction, laurels, and honors that its graduates have won. With this intention we present to you the 1938 Recall. We have endeavored to make this publication an indelible record of the accomplishments, pleasant friendships and attachments that our present battalion has made during this highly successful year. With a feeling of the sincerest appreciqtion for the help and inspiration we have received, we, the senior class of the academic year of nineteen hundred thirty-seven and thirty-eight, take great pride in dedicating this book to you, the alumni ot Western Military Academy.

The corps of cadets of the year 1938 PASS IN REVIEW! Here the reader will find the cadets presented in the various phases of their life as well as can be shown by many pictures and much explanation. The changes made in all fields should be of especial interest for they are greatly progressive in their movement. We point with pride to the fact that more than ninety percent of the photography in this book was the work of our own Camera Club members. ATTENTION! The most serious aspect of cadet life is undoubtedly the academic phase. Therefore, it is symbolized by the most serious and basic position of military training. Since academics have played a major part in the school life of each cadet graduating from Western, this division rightly holds a prominent place in this year ' s Recall. Such sections as that presenting the faculty will hold many dear memories of classroom scenes for present and prospective alumni. PRESENT ARMS! Truly symbolic of our military training, we have captioned this division with the true mark of the military field. All factors of our extensive training in R. O. T. C. work are incorporated. Both theoretical and practical work are included. The work cadets have under the military department marks them for future success or failure; the way they receive that work and act upon it is indicative of character. The alumni should be able to gather fond recollections from the military set up as presented here. AT EASE! After a hard period of drill the troops are rewarded with a period of relaxation. Thus a cadet receives his relaxation after study and drill. The many activities and the participants in them are to be found in this section. Some are comparatively new and some are old institutions, but each holds interest for one who has interest in Western. The staff feels that we can best show the entire corps ' affectionate respect for Capt. Thomas by leaving unchanged all reference to him, thus showing him as the corps and alumni will always hold him in their memories. Here we present the 1938 Recall. May all look upon it as a medium of retaining or recalling fond memories of Western and the days there spent.
