The TaculTy, oT course, is an imporTanT parT in any school, and The WesTern TaculTy is ex- cellenT and well balanced in all Tields aT educaTion. AnoTher decided advanTage aT WesTern is The smallness oT The classes. Tor in These each sTudenT receives more individual aTTenTion Than he could iT The classes were larger. AT WesTern The sTudenT is graded upon his own abiliTies and noT upon his class ranking. This meThod is noT compeTiTive and has proved The TairesT and mosT encouraging meThod aT grading. EnTering WesTern Ias+ Tall as a plebe , one prob- ably did noT noTice The many changes which have Taken place in The scholasTic deparTmenT since lasT year. However, an old sTudenT, reTurning To The campus, could poinT ouT many. Probably The TirsT change To be noTiced would be The new arrange- menT oT The large Tormer school-room in The Admin- isTraTion Building. In place oT one immense room There sTood Two, which were small in comparison To The original buT which sTill made up Two good-sized rooms. The rear room, somewhaT The larger oT The Two, was converTed inTo a library, Tor sTudying. Along The walls were lined book-cases, well equipped wiTh volumes aT all Types oT liTeraTure Tor The use oT The cadeTs. Upon enTrance inTo The TronT room one could immediaTely see ThaT This was The assembly place Tor The corps. Here were row aTTer row oT TheaTer seaTs Tacing a large plaTTorm in The TronT cenTer. This room was where The cadeTs were To hear ouTsicle lecTures, and hold Their own chapel -periods. ATTer viewing These Two surprising changes, The curious cadeT began To wonder whaT had been done wiTh The Tormer library. Upon invesTigaTing he Tound ThaT iT also had been changed. lT resembled The old larger school room wiTh builT-in individual desks excepT ThaT iT was on a smaller scale. This was now The sTudy hall Tor all grammar school cadeTs. BeTore leaving This room, The searching eyes oT The inquisiTive would Tall upon a queer obiecT in The corner OT The room, Desiring To learn whaT iT was, he would make inquiries and discover ThaT iT was a meTronoscope and iTs use was Tor The purpose of Teaching pupils To read rapidly and well. Words and phrases are Tlashed on a screen one by one aT shorT inTervals in The sequence which They appear in a senTence. The Time oT The inTervals beTween The swiTching oT words can be regulaTed. A greaT many reading problems can be simpliTied by This machine. As The year progressed, one could noTice cerToin changes in The schedules and procedures OT The scholasTic programs. One oT The mosT popular addi- Tions was Major Persing's idea Tor using parlia- menTary procedure To begin all periods. Each class elecTed iTs own chairman, vice-chairman, secre- Tory, and parliamenTarian every Two weeks. Class meeTings were opened by The chairman, The minuTes read by The secreTary, and old and new business discussed beTore The insTrucTor Took charge aT The class rouTine. This procedure has been successTul The new Headmasfer checks over a iunior speech wiTh lmboden. PLEASE OBSERVE QUIET is The slogan of our new library-sTucly hall. and has helped To Teach The cadeTs someThing abouT running a democracy. Two of The sysTems which were begun lasT year and which were carried over To This year were The seven-period day and The meThod oT grading. Each day consisTed oT five academic calls in The morning and Two in The aTTernoon, Tollowed by a miliTary period. Each cadeT Taking The usual Tour sTudies had Three TorTy-Tive minuTe calls during The day and one hour and a halT period during The evening in which To prepare his assignmenTs. ln regard To The grading, reporTs were senT home To parenTs each monTh, and The cadeTs received reporTs every Two weeks. The mid-winTer grades were To sTimulaTe The iniTiaTive and progress oT The sTudenT in his work. The grading sysTem was done by leTTers which were given numerical equivalenT. These numbers were used To obTain The sTudenT's average in all sub- iecTs by adding The numerical equivalenTs and divid- ing by The number of courses which The sTudenT Took. A charT oT The grades and Their equivalenTs is as Tollows: EX ....... 4 ExcellenT G . . -. .3 Good M . . . , . .2 Median P . . . . . . I Poor UN ... ...O UnsaTisTacTory Each cadeT was assigned a baTTing average ac- cording To his abiliTy. IT The sTudenT kep+ up This baT- Ting average, he was allowed To sTudy in The bar- racks during The evening: buT if he failed he had To reTurn To The sTudy hall. Seniors have This privilege during The day, also, buT They had To mainTain Their averages. The plan oT requiring each senior To give a seven- minuTe speech beTore The corps in order To receive his crediTs, which was also originaTed lasT year, was con- Tinued This year. This year The juniors have also been added To The lisT. Such oraTorical work is Tine preparaTion Tor laTer liTe because iT gives experience and confidence To a youTh. lT is a parT of a schedule which helps The sTudenT plan Tor his TuTure. AnoTher imporTanT parT oT This developmenT pro- gram was The second annual vocaTional conTerence which was held April I3 and l4. ProminenT business men were inviTed Trom large indusTrial concerns To speak To The cadeTs. Since in Their iobs They are always dealing wiTh young men, Their advice and opinions on vocaTional problems were very helpTul To The cadeTs. This helpTul Training along vocaTional lines should prove very valuable To TuTure WesTern graduaTes. Major C. L. Persing, during his Three years as principal aT W. lvl. A., has accomplished much. This year, in recogniTion of his Tine work, he was named l leadmasTer oT WesTern lvliliTary Academy by Col- onel R, L. Jackson. The corps oT cadeTs wishes him The besT oT luck and The conTinuaTion oT his success. -iq.. THE CLASS WHL Cf-DME T0 CRDER! Aaaksemiwisiiriiiaassssi l i Slricklcinol rops on flue Toble.

One OT The honors A company won, which was ouTsTanding, was The TiTle oT being The besT marksmen in The corps. ITs riTle Team won The inTer-company rifle maTch by a large margin.

The TirsT plaToon under The splendid supervision aT CadeT l.ieuTenanT Luer was soon made inTo a well balanced uniT. This plaToon did exceedingly well by placing Third in The plaToon compeTiTion and by having one oT iTs squads placing second in squad compeTiTion. CadeT LieuTenanT Leider very capably handled his diTTiculT iob aT molding his boys inTo a well per- TecTed plaToon.

The plebes were bewildered af firsf, buf wifhin a monfh fhey began collecfing fhemselves and geffing righf info fhe sfride. Gef your hand down! Sfand sfeady! Huf! Two! Three! Four! be- came common phrases used by fhe cadef officers on fhe drill field. In The classrooms 'rhere seemed no end fo fhe subiecfs faughf: aufomafic rifle, machine gun. scoufing and pafrolling, organizafion of fhe infanfry, leadership principles, map reading and milifary law are buf a few. As fhe year progressed fhere arose many grudges againsf fhe milifary deparfmenf, such as. foo cold or foo hof weafher for drill, boring mili- fary subiecfs, and in general foo much work and dis- cipline. These complainfs came largely from fhe new cadefs, for fhe old-'rimers were used fo if and were aware of fhe ulfimafe aim. As fime moved on, however, fhe firsf-year men learned more and more abouf fhe school life and acfivifies. lf was nof long unfil everyone had heard of fhe annual governmenf War Deparfmenf lnspecfion which was always held in fhe spring. Af fhe fime fhis evenf seemed foo far off fo be given much affenfion: Buf as is always fhe case, fime flew and G. l. ap- proached wifh break-neck speed. Before long fhe cadefs realized whaf a big fhing fhis evenf was, and fhey undersfood why fhe milifary acfivifies had played such a prominenf parl' in fheir lives. The realizaficn of fhe inspecfion's imporfance caused much fear, anxiefy and uneasiness, and fhe plebes and even numerous old cadefs became affecfed. A monfh or so before The fafeful days, began a G. l. drive in order fo puf polishing fouches on every- fhing learned during fhe year and fo cover anyfhing fhaf had been forgoffen or overlooked. This period was 'rhe sfricfesf and foughesf of fhe year. Alfhough fhere was sfill much resflessness, fhe corps pifched in and worked. When G. I. week arrived, fhe prospecf of success was much beffer fhan if had seemed fwo monfhs previously, and pracfically everyone was do- ing his parf. This year G. l. was held on Thursday and Friday, May 2 and 3, and so final clean-up was May I. On fhese fhree days everyone was excused from academic sfudies and burdens. All of Wednesday was spenf in a lasf cleaning of barracks and equipmenf. Rooms were fhoroughly swepf, dusfed and cleaned, rifles made immaculafely clean, lavafories and halls cleaned, furnifure polished: in facf, nofhing was over- looked. If was a comical sighl' fo see young men so infenf on fheir housework, and fo view if one mighf believe fhaf 'rhey were pIanni.ng fo frade jobs wifh fhe women in fhe fufure-on fhe ofher hand, fhis prob- ably proves fhaf men are good af anyfhing. Governmenf lnspecfion was fhe final milifary fesf of fhe year: if was also a fesf of fhe leadership, disci- pline and manhood of 'rhe cadefs. The success of Wesfern depended upon Them, and fhey were ouf 'ro win, no maffer whaf fhe cosf. As lvlaior Curfis and Capfain Bing, who inspecfed Wesfern +o decide whefher if should be placed upon The Honor Lisf of milifary schools 'rhroughouf fhe counfry, arrived on fhe W. lvl. A. campus, all uneasiness and frembling vanished, and in 'rheir places appeared a remarkable spirif. The corps was ready for any fesl' which could be placed before if. In ifs hands sfood fhe honor of Wesfern, for during fhe pasf sixfeen years fhis has been an honor school, and fhe corps was nof going fo ruin ifs record. During fheir fwo-day four of Wesfern, fhe in- specfors wifnessed snappy, well-coordinafed drills, immaculafe barracks, excellenf personal appearance of 'rhe cadefs, well-organized defense and affack problems, and fhoroughly-prepared fheory and prac- 'rical classes.

Sandifen Gaul Bisch PREP TEAM SEASON IT was The TourTh quarTer oT a hard ToughT TooT- ball game aT Walsh STadium, ST. Louis. WesTern was Torced To iTs very line, and The smaller Team iT was. The larger Team lined up, shiTTed righT, and a big bruiser pawed The ball, lowered his head, and plunged. The ball did noT go over! One or Two more plays and The whisTle. And so, indicaTive oT The whole season, WesTern and ST. Louis U. High played To a scoreless Tie. YeT if TooTball games were decided b courage and TighT- ing spiriT, The Red Raiders would have emerged vic- Torious Trom This, and Tor ThaT maTTer, all clashes. AT The sTarT OT The year only one leTTer man, Browne, who was capTain oT This year's Team, reTurned and There was only one subsTiTuTe Trom The previous year. YeT. urged on by ceaseless cheering and back- ing as had noT been seen Tor many years, Coach DrosTe and his men combined To Torm a combinaTion . . . . which ToughT, and Toiled, and won. . . . And wiTh only one week oT pracTice The Red Raiders enTered Their TirsT game and swamped Cen- Tral CaTholic I8 To 6. A sTrange IoT, These men, who one week before were ToTal sTrangers. Odd ThaT such Teamwork could be developed in seven days. BUT True, and The keynoTe oT The success OT The Team: a success noT merely in The number oT games won, buT in The comradeship ThaT developed when every boy puT TorTh his every ounce oT energy Toward accom- plishing a cerTain Task, wheTher The cry was STop ThaT man! or Touchdown, boys! And The game did uncover sTars, many To reTurn as The nucleus oT nexT year's Team. Dick Slack, in his iunior year, was named on The Prep League All-STar Team Though, because oT injuries, he played in only a limiTed number oT games. BoTh Browne and Myers won honorable menTion on The All-DisTricT. Browne and Bass had berThs on The All-A.B.C. Team. As The season progressed The Raiders won .... They losT .... buT They were becoming rich in ex- perience and were learning sporTsmanship. Finally The season reached iTs climax in The annual Turkey Day clash wiTh AlTon l-ligh. And, Though The cadeTs losT because oT AlTon's superior air aTTacks, iT was a hard ToughT game. and The TirsT in a number oT years in which The Red Raiders ouTcharged and ouTspiriTed AlTon.

The ouTsTanding characTerisTic oT The swimming Team, responsibile Tor iTs amazing developmenT, was The wonderTul spiriT which prevailed during The enTire season.

The record oT vicTories was noT so impressive as iT could have been. buT The Team showed ThaT iT could Talce defeaT as well as a vicTory. A greaT fighTing Team was on The floor aT all Times which is proved by The facT ThaT iT scored a ToTal of 574 poinTs. The co-operaTion of all The players was also To be admired. OT The eleven members of The Team only Two were leTTermen, Harris and Myers, M. The remaining nine had earned Their leTTers on The B Team or had received a VarsiTy leTTer aT some aTher high school. The new men were Everharf, Nemnich, Woosley, Cas- persen. Walker, Scroggin. Jones. Waxenberg. Diclc- mann, and Schierbeclc. Ripley and Galloway acTed as co-managers. EverharT, a liTTle man wiTh plenTy of scrap and TighT, was a unanimous choice for All-DisTricT forward. Harris was one of The ouTsTanding players in The Prep League. leading all men in poinTs scored. Ofher ouTsTanding players were Myers. Caspersen, and Nemnich. The cadeTs sTarTed ouT in fine fashion buT as The season wore on They began To hiT a slump on accounT oT The loss of one of The valuable players. The biggesT seTback of The season was The lasT game when The cadeTs were defeaTed by McBride. The ouTsTanding evenT of The season was The fac- ulTy game which was a raTher humorous affair. The cadeTs, who were highly Tavored. were The vicTors. The members of The TaculTy Team were Magee. John- son, Gould. Teal. and Pigg. Major Magee was The ouTsTanding player on The TaculTy Team. A facfor ThaT aided The specTaTors was The new scoreboard which was given by The class of I939. The scoreboard also made The games a loT more inTer- esTing-when The players could see The score. They would puT on a spurT and Try To make a few poinTs before The game was over. AlThough The Team is hiT hard by graduaTion. The B and C Teams have many ouTsTanding players who will be of greaT use To The Prep Team oT nexT year. We may TruThfully say ThaT The minor Teams have accomplished Their purpose of developing play- ers for years To come. WiTh The aid of These players Wesfern should be The Team To beaT nexf year. -39.- WW' STARS OF THE COURTS Evarharf Harris Myers. M.
