Lieutenant GROVER FRANCIS CLEMENTS I Year Pana, Illinois The important thing about Clem is that, in his short time in cadet life, he made his mark at Western. Because he has a commission in the band division of the Illinois National Guard, he was known as Lieutenant. Clem ' s in- terests were quite heavily centered about music. He was a member of Western ' s orchestra, Glee Club and band. The Lieutenant plays both piano and trumpet well, and is familiar with various other instruments. Other activities in which he engaged consisted primarily of foot- ball and riding. He never missed a social func- tion at Western. ARNOLD QUINN COHEN I V 2 Years 16517 Baylis, Detroit, Michigan Coming to Western at the half year in 1940, Quinn has done a splendid job of making up for lost time. His conscientious efforts and re- sponsible attitude earned him Private First Class stripes in a single semester, an unusual honor. Although fencing was Quinn’s main sport, he was also actively interested in riding and golf. The spring of his junior year he spent with Captain Droste on the track squad. In the classroom, Quinn maintained a fine average, with his name consistently on the honor rolls. His quick wit and friendliness earned him close friendships here at Western. Quinn Dutch GEORGE MATHEW DEUTMAN 4 Years Cuba City, Wisconsin From the far northern state of Wisconsin came Dutch, noted for his amiable person- ality and his happy-go-lucky manner. Dutch was one of the few seniors who could boast of a summer R.O.T.C. camp ' s experience; he will obtain his officer’s commission at 21. Dutch ' s sports interests leaned mostly to basketball; he was an outstanding player on the B team. Academically, he maintained a 2.50 average. Probably his favorite pastimes may be put down as sleeping in odd places and admiring far corners of the campus. When Dutch was graduated, the campus lost one of its most likable and familiar characters. — 29 —

CARL ALBERT BRAUN I ( 2 Years 4427 N. Lockwood Avenue, Toledo, Ohio Carl Braun came to us in the middle of last year. In spite of the handicap of entering at mid-year, he soon made many friends. He went right into athletics and won awards in wrestling and baseball, then came back this year to gain the same, along with a major award in Prep football. This made him eligi- ble for the W Club. Carl was a member of the Glee Club and the Riding Club. He has held average grades and still managed to keep himself an active member of the Monticello squad. He was made a Private First Class in the battalion early in the year. Cheri Jack JOHN HENRY BURGHER I Year 1120 Broadway, Mattoon, Illinois Nimble fingers is an appropriate alias for Jack Burgher, for he may be found at almost any spare moment in the Art Club hard at wcrk on some new project. Although his in- terests are mainly along the artistic line, Jack has made other accomplishments during his short stay. Academically, he is above average. Swimming and track have been his favorite athletic activities. He is a charter member of the Cadespians, the school dramatics asso- ciation, and has done much towards the fur- therment of this activity. Jack is noted for his winning way, which will do a lot towards making his life a successful one. JOE CALTAGIRONE, JR. I Year 1222 Garland Avenue, Texarkana, Arkansas W5IDO, calling C. Q.! This is W5IDO, call- ing C. Q.! These familiar words float over the air-waves in the vicinity of Western Mili- tary Academy. The Arkansas drawl behind the microphone is Joe Caltagirone. Joe ' s main occupation is this radio station. He has been hamming for more than a year now, and with his set he has succeeded in reaching many dis- tant points. Joe plans to make his hobby his living. He will enter Arkansas U. next fall and specialize in radio-engineering. Joe divides what time he can spare from his radio between passing his courses and visiting the riding stable. Joe — 28 —

Jerry JEROME RODERICK DUMANOIS I Year Hotel Fenton, Fenton, Michigan Outstanding for his valuable work on this year ' s championship swimming team, Jerry Du- manois proved to be a true son of Michigan. He was a mainstay in both the free style and the medley relays, and with his witty person- ality was popular with the other men on the squad. Jerry was an excellent actor and would have played the leading role in Western ' s state contest play had not other activities sponsored by Major Henderson interfered. Jerry will long be remembered for his humor in one of the senior debates. He has left a beautifully painted tank as a remembrance of his work. FRED S. ENDSLEY I Year 604 W. Locust Street, Robinson, Illinois Every so often there comes to Western a fellow who is capable of accomplishing four years ' work in one. Such a fellow was Fred Endsley. Among his accomplishments were the winning of letters in B football and basket- ball. He was an excellent horseman and a very good boxer. He was a leading member of the dramatics club, the Cadespians, and maintained an academic average of 3.75, rank- ing well in the top quarter of his class. Endsley won first alternate appointment to West Point on a competitive examination. He is the type that will succeed in whatever he does. Tedsley 48 ROBERT HUGH FORTIER I Year Gatesworth Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri The boy with the wide grin and the Southern accent was of course Bob Fortier. Bob has the enviable quality of giving his all in anything that he attempts to do. His winning of the boxing tournament in his class proved this. He was consistent in his grades and ranked in the upper half of his class. Hard work earned him a ' ' J.V. football letter and a B soccer letter. Bob rates reading foremost as his hobby. He had a part in the Senior Play. His winning smile characterized him as one of the friendliest chaps on the campus. — 30 —
