W AN OFFICER A SPORTSMAN A GENTLEMAN dedicated Ua 3 he 9 71 x’mori of MAJOR ROBERT E. WILKINSON 1869-1943 MAJOR ROBERT E. WILKINSON The members of the Senior Class dedicate this, the 1943 RECALL, to the memory of Major Robert E. Wilkinson, for forty years a member of the Western faculty and teacher of hundreds of Western cadets. As the senior member of the faculty, he served as field representative, in- structor, head of the mathematics department, principal, and Dean of the Faculty. He was admired by his colleagues and respected and loved by the many cadets who came under his kindly influence. We regarded him not only as a teacher but as a counsellor and friend. In dedicating this RECALL to Major Wilkinson, we also dedicate it to the ideals for which he lived and upon which our lives are founded. His memory will live forever, for his good deeds are always before us.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A scholastic event of this year was the estab- lishing of a chapter of the National Honor Society at Western. A constitution was drawn up and was accepted by the national headquarters at Chicago. In addition to creating an enthusiasm for schol- arship and giving recognition to the best students in school, the National Honor Society encourages a desire on the part of pupils to render service to the school; it causes the pupil to evaluate himself and to see if he has elements of leadership within himself outside of the drill field; it is a stimulus to the student to watch those acts which develop character: it sets up high standards for the ideal high school student; and it makes a chapter mem- ber eligible for loans of money through a revolving scholarship fund. The national scope of the organi- zation gives it unusual prestige, which makes it a useful honor to list upon applications for college entrance. Ten per cent of the seniors and ten per cent of the juniors will be elected each year by faculty members appointed for that purpose. Major C. L. Persing, Headmaster, sponsored the chapter at Western. The charter members are, as follows: Barker, president; Rudolph, vice-president; Porter, second vice-president; Heiser, secretary, and mem- bers, Crouch, Axelrood, Sherman, Warner, and Zimmer. These and other cadet members will be leaders, not only in scholastic activities at Western, but also in other phases of school life. — 16 — SCHOLASTIC ACES— THE CLUB 400 Bock Row — Yoder, Greene, Russell, Gregg, Wrisley.

ACADEMIC PREPARATION— WE VISIT THE CLASSROOMS At 6:15 every mcrning, life officially begins at Western. First call shatters the air and ca- dets roll out of bed. If the bugle call should fail to drive away sleep, a dash of cold water or a persuasive hand will help the lazy to rise and shine. This may seem to have nothing to do with the academic side of life, but one must get up and dress and eat before he can go to classes. Now, one and all, we are rarin to go. In spire of the war-time pressure of military training and the time demanded by Western ' s rich, varied activity and athletic program, aca- demics still occupy the biggest space in the school routine. The average day is divided into seven, 45-minute periods, five in the morning and two in the afternoon. Evening study hall last s one hour and a half. The better students do their studying during vacant periods and at night in their quarters, while others must report to the library to work under the supervision of the Officer in Charge. Now on with school! The school call sounds at 7:45, and five minutes later 300 cadets have assembled in the various classrooms. Let ' s take a look. Capt. Hinton ' s English Lit. class gets off to a flying start as Dutch Dahlin, permanent secre- tary by acclamation, comments upon life and literature in general, after the manner of Addi- son and Doc Sam Johnson, in his witty minutes which have won a great reputation on the cam- pus. Whisk! And we are in Capt. Gould ' s so- cial science class, which is a little more informal, yet the Captain starts his ominous questioning (Continued on page 18) Sweat and Tears — Final Exams In Field House Keyhole Inspection Sleep Is So Much Sweeter During Class Hours at once, as all cadets try to look wise. In Capt. Schrantz ' s laboratory, we encounter a medley of smells, and we hear his interesting discussion, with friendly banter mixed in with the chemical fumes. That barbarous chant, like some pagan ceremonial, is Capt. Buck and his class, intoning the Latin con- jugations, while Capt. Gage echoes from his room in liquid rhythmic Spanish. Capt. Marchand ' s eyes twinkle behind his shiny glasses as he probes the mysteries of higher mathe- matics, while Capt. Geddes saws away at history, past and present. Major Suhre keeps a watchful eye over the top of his spectacles upon his busy typists, while from the English building comes the polished phrases and cultured tones of Capt. Nel- son pounding away on grammar and speech. Classes change, cadets swarm the campus like bees, and then the school settles down again as Capt. Savage, Capt. Green, Capt. Alter, and Lieut. Schubert snatch the scholastic baton and carry on the academic relay throughout the busy class day. One should not leave academics without men- tioning Maj. Persing, Headmaster and nerve cen- ter of the teaching system. He sits in his office, checks reports, keeps tab on progress, confers with instructors and students, cocks one ear at the study hall, slants one eye out on tho campus to observe any lates, and is as busy as a one-man orchestra with twenty-five instruments. He keeps things hum- ming in Western ' s important activity — education. Western ' s grade system requires each cadet to reach his P. A. (po- tential average). He has a stand- ard to meet in keeping with his ability, and if he falls below, he will lose privileges and find him- self in the study hall, a condition not to be envied. A cadet mak- ing a perfect 4.00 average is eli- gible for the Club 400 or the Na- tional Honor Society. An average of 3.00 ( G ' s in all subjects) is sufficient for the honor roll. This year Western ' s curriculum was broadened to meet war-time demands. Special classes are of- fered in war-time mathematics, war-time science. Credit toward graduation is given in these classes. They fill a real need and are an indication that Western ' s academic program is meeting the challenge of the day. This year, too, an unusually large number of Seniors prepared for the College Board examinations and the en- trance exams to West Point and Annapolis. Ladees and Gentlemen!

Top row — Raith, treasurer; Giloson, historian; Dahlin, sergeant-at-arms. We of the Class of 1943 have been presented with a challenge — a challenge of WAR. As we leave the familiar Western campus, the scene of our triumphs, our struggles, our friendships, our character development, our training, we cannot count on choosing the usual career in college, in business, or in the professions which so many graduates before us have followed. When farewells are spoken at the Memorial Gate on Commencement Day, we know that the next meeting of comrades may be in Alas- ka, in the Pacific Islands, in Africa, or in Europe. Some of us are stepping from prep school life directly into the service of our country. Today, when every agency of our govern- ment and industry is bending every sinew to- ward the common goal of winning the war, it was fitting and necessary that we prepare at Western for the great responsibilities ahead of us after graduation. We are a ware that there lies underneath this so-called practical world still deeper and more fundamental truths. There must be knowledge of all kinds, and courage, and character, and faith in God in order to achieve the highest, common good. Those things are worth preserving, worth fighting for. Western has given us this preparation. War correspondents call it morale. We call it edu- 19 4 3 cation — learning to be kind, good, alert, pre- pared, strong, and DETERMINED. It has often been said that the youth of America is its oldest tradition. Youth and young ideas constitute today, as never before, the strength and hope of this great nation, of which we are so much a part. But the youth of America is an asset only if it is trained to take part and play the role well. We, as Seniors, stepping into tomorrow, pledge ourselves to carry the torch and pass on its light and fire to succeeding generations. Our way of life must be preserved. We who have been trained here at Western will help preserve it. We are the War Class of 1943 so that other classes which follow us may belong to an era of peace, free to plan and live their lives unhampered by the outlaw dictatorships who seek to enslave the world. G.J. M„ II. — 19 — Honor Graduate, Ccdet Major, Salutatorian Crouch Valedictorian Heiser First Alternate Honor Graduate RUDOLPH First Alternate Valedictorian HONOR MEN OF CLASS OF 43 ROBERT NEWELL BARKER Bob s excellent record in every phase of school life made him top man in the Senior Class. He was honored with the positions of Cadet Major, salu- totorian, and honor graduate. It is unusual for one cadet to accumulate all these honors, especial- ly when there were so many outstanding cadets in the class. The Class of ' 43 probably had a dozen men, who, under ordinary circumstances were cap- able of leading any class. Bob showed his true ability in publications, athletics, academics, and military work. He was a leader in the class and was well liked by everyone. His graduation will leave a gap in the Western corps that will be hard to fill. ALLEN LEE CROUCH, III Each year, when academic averages were com- piled, one cadet ' s grades led all the rest. This year, on the basis of a three-year record, Pat Crouch was awarded the highest scholastic honor given by the school, that of valedictorian. In ad- dition to his regular course, he studied college German and captured a scholarship to Harvard University. Pat was not only a superior student, but he also distinguished himself on the SHRAPNEL and RECALL staffs, on the chess club, as a member of the Senior Play cast, in military work. He was an ideal cadet who made a friend of everyone whom he met. ROLLAND VALENTINE HEISER Rolland Heiser was only a fraction behind the leading men in the class for all the honors this year. Less than one-half a point separated Ronny and Barker in academic averages. Heiser ' s mili- tary record and leadership made him a close runner-up for the position of Cadet Major. The task of choosing the honor graduate was difficult because of Ronny ' s outstanding record. He was prominent in RECALL work, military work, athletics, academics, and social life. His brilliant career, his loyalty, his energy, and flashing smile will be re- membered by all his classmates. ROBERT MORRIS RUDOLPH Bob Rudolph was the school ' s outstanding, two- year man. His academic record, unsurpassed for that time, gave him honorable mention for scho- lastic honors. His journalistic abilities made him invaluable to school publications, and he was known as one of the .most reliable men on the RE- CALL and SHRAPNEL staffs. He was also a star athlete, winning basketball and tennis prep letters during his Senior year. He was always ready to give his time and energy to any Western project. He was a real all-round cadet and leader. — 20 — CLASS OF 19 4 3 «. HUGH ROSS ADAMS AD I I I I Keystone Avenue, River Forest, III. 4 years Jock of all trades; a master of some was Hugh. In Ad’s four years he entered three major school sports — football, baseball, ond basket boll. Although he was not the star of the team, he was the quiet man, who deserved credit for helping the team. Baseball was Hugh ' s favorite pastime. He was a steady pitcher each season. He lived in C Barracks, and was a corporal in C Company. He had his share of time, but also his shore of fun. Hugh leaves behind many acquaintances that will remember him as a swell fellow in years to come.

Bailey has made a host of friends while at Western, estab- lishing himself as quite an athlete and ladies ' man. He was a constant Monti- goer, but found his greatest delight in bragging of Columbus, Ohio. Bailey intends to enter the Coast Guard after commencement. He will always be remembered for his nightly habit of blotting the date off the calendar and leaping into bed with a scream of delight. THOMAS E. AINLAY TOM 2757 West 107th Street, Chicago, III. 5 years This year was the last of five years spent at Western by Tom. He had a great interest in social affairs and was a member of the Senior Dance Com- mittee.

His journalistic abili- ties placed him assistant editor of the Shrapnel and member of the RECALL staff. This year Tom was a lieutenant in D Company and a floor chief in A Barracks. His address after commencement will be the University of Indiana, where he will study law. Best of luck, Tom. ROBERT GEORGE ALBIEZ Q M 6901 Oglesby Avenue, Chicago, III. 5 years Albiez can do it for you. was a popular saying in school, for QM was strong enough to do anything. Bob had a successful career in athletics, making two prep letters in football, soccer, and track. He was on the ABC all-star team and because of this record, he was an officer in the W Club. He was a lieu- tenant and a floor chief. Q made above average grades, and was a member of the Senior Dance Committee.

Nels entered the charmed circle of cadet officers after completing successfully four years of military life. He was voted as the second most faithful member of the A football team. The Lower School became quite a menace to the fiery little lieutenant. Nels passed the spring session on the baseball diamond where he played in the outer garden. He was seen each Saturday at Monticello. Nels has been preparing for a successful college career and knowing him as we do, the corps of cadets are sure he will triumph.

His work in many activities has been invaluable. His work on the RECALL staff will be unforgettable and the peeking of his typewriter will be greatly missed. Cal was flo or chief of the 4th floor of A Barracks and a supply corporal in the battalion. Willie played baseball for three years, and was the captain of the winning barracks bowling team. His work with the bugle band was superb and we all know Western has graduated a fine gentleman. HOWARD DUANE WIXSON, JR. WIX 17440 Glenwood, Birmingham, Mich. 2 years In Howard ' s two years at Western, he revealed an unbeatable personality. He was constantly in the Art Club and his work was seen all over the school in posters and paintings. Wix was a member of most of the hobby clubs and his support was a large factor in their success. He was an ardent supporter of the A football team last year. Although he did not see much action, he was always on the spot and willing to do anything he could to help the team. He will always be remembered for his friendliness and excellent school work. RICHARD HARTLEY WOOTTON DICK 420 Quapaw, Hot Springs, Ark. 2 years That shy, but versatile, boy from Hot Springs answers to the name of Dick. Being on the shy side, he was not much of a ladies ' man here at Western, but it is rumored that he carried on quite a. correspondence with Deets when he is at home. Dick was a camera man and was a member of the Camera and Art Clubs. Being a canteen cowboy, he spent much of his time there. He was on honor student in academics. Dick developed a pleasing personality that all will remember him by. and if you are ever in Hot Springs, Dick will be there ready to greet you. JEROME POWELL ZELLINGER 3529 Belaire Street, St. Louis, Mo. On of the many St. Louis boys graduating from Western this year, Zell- man was one of the oustanding sergeant squad leaders of the band, where he served two faithful years as a French horn player. He wos also a member of the famed Westernaires. His first year he quickly acquired the nickname of Zellman from the late Major Wilkinson, which he has answered to ever since. Zell was a member of the Club 4.00. He merited a C basket ball and foot- ball letter. Zell will be remembered for his personality and high spirit which made him friends that will last forever. — 40 — UNDERCLASSMEN, WESTERN IS IN YOUR HANDS SEYMOUR L.

The number of companies was increased from three to four. Temporary orders were issued the first week appointing acting officers and noncoms. The regular O.D. list was published, and officers and noncoms were assigned to their places as instructors. On September 13th, after only two days of drill, the West- ern battalion held the first parade of the 1942-43 school year. The cadets made an excellent showing indeed and won praise from a large number of visitors because of snap- piness and good lines. Barker acted as Bat- talion Commander and Borntraeger as Ad- jutant. The second week of school a notable firing demonstration of five infantry weapons was given by Colonel Moore in the grove. The weapons fired included the .45 calibre ser- vice automatic, the Thompson sub-machine gun, the new Garand, the Browning auto- matic rifle, and the Browning machine gun. The battalion was gradually being instructed in close order drill and was shaping up into what looked to be the best corps ever at Western. The 1903 rifles that had previously armed the cadets had been called in by the government and no substitute rifle had yet WAR COUNCIL MILITARY STAFF SEES APPROACHING ENEMY been provided. This hampered drill instruc- tion somewhat but gave more time for the fundamental steps of close order drill and the position of the soldier. On the 16th of September, Western was honored by a visit of two officers from our ally south of the border, Mexico. They were visiting the Western Cartridge Company as representatives of their government. They ex- pressed a desire to see a typical military academy, and Colonel Moore had the bat- talion give a parade in their honor. The Mexican officers themselves were very snap- py, and they stated that the parade was one of the best that they had ever seen.

The pic- tures on these pages will recall a few of the mili- tary events of the year. They bring back recol- lections of Armistice Day, close order drill, calis- thenics, and many other moments which we can never forget.

Supply Department Arrives With Field Mess ' ♦ � ■ «- Guard of Honor in Front of Major Wilkinson ' s Home ON THE CAMPUS IN THE FIELD The most valuable and practical part of the military program is the frequent field problems held in the open country. The corps is divided into attacking and defending units, and the maneuvers are worked out under simulated war-time condi- tions. Remember? Those hikes through pear or- chards and cornfields! The battle of Rock Springs Park! Sloshing across Wood River Creek! Mud- smeared faces for concealment, commando fash- ion! Attack and defense! And mess served in the field to cadets with razor-edged appetites. That training bore results at G. I. and may stand us in good stead on some foreign front.

R.O.T.C. manuals were issued and the cadets got to work. The classes this year were not viewed so much as a side-activity, due naturally to a war-minded population. The G.l. objective was held in front of the cadets from the very beginning. Mili- tary demonstrations were given and everything possible was being done to prime the cadets for their ultimate goal and to make them mili- tary conscious. The first week of November the military staff received a much needed addition, that of Sgt. F. W. Bergin. He came to replace Sgt. Aeiilo who left the school the previous spring to accept a commission in the army. The new victory rifles arrived to take the place of the U. S. Army Springfields, 1903. Drill on the manual of arms was immediately started and the next parade was under arms. Another set of acting orders came out during the first weeks of No- vember. Almost immediately after the polio scare was over, the obstacle course was ready to be tried out and tested, and intensive use of it was being contemplated. Western was one of the first military schools to have one of their own. The Armistice Day program called for a re- view. After passing in review before Colonel Jackson and Colonel Moore, the companies formed on the walk in a hollow square. After the appropriate addresses, Acting Commander of the Battalion, Cadet Raith, then placed a wreath at the base of the flag pole in memory of the six hundred cadets in World War I, and especially in memory of those who did not re- turn. It was impressive to note the reverent and snappy salutes of the cadets during the after- noon when thy paused in front of the wreath as a token of respect for what Armistice Day means. The 28th of November, Colonel Moore spoke over the air from KXOK, St. Louis, on Careers in the Armed Forces. Cadet Candrall won the distinction of being the cadet who could most rapidly dis-assemble and assemble the auto- matic rifle, as he beat down the other sopho- more competitors. The outstanding feature of December mili- tary life was the issuance of the long awaited orders containing the promotions. Along with the new semester in January came war courses that had never before been offered at Western. These included War Time Science, War Time Mathematics, and Military Leader- ship. The middle of January Major F. A. Rohr- man, who was in charge of R.O.T.C. affairs in Lieuts. Hamilton and Kortel Confer Wi Block and Shapiro the Sixth Service Command with offices in Chi- cago, visited the campus and inspected the cadet corps. With the military staff as guides, he examined the barracks, buildings, and facili- ties. The junior military class gave a firing dem- onstration with the machine gun on the sub- calibre targets. His visit gave an idea of what Government Inspection might be. The last week of January the Service Club wos organized for all cadets who were or would be eighteen before September I, 1943. Forty- nine cadets comprised the membership. All-night guard duty began the first week of February. The main result was cold feet and sleepy eyes, but it did give the cadets a sample of what is in store for them in the service. Cart- ridge boxes were issued and the uniform for parade was made much snappier by the addi- tion of white webbing. The intensive physical training commenced with the first week of March and continued through the entire month. Four afternoons a week were spent in boxing, judo, running the obstacle course, and attempting to pass the army ' s minimum physical qualification tests. It sometimes became tiresome, but by the end of the month, those who had put something out were in better physical condition. Question sheets were issued for all four military years covering all the subjects in which they would be examined at G.l. These sheets helped prepare the cadets for their written tests which they experienced at the big inspection to a great extent. The cadet major was announced this year before G.l. That fortunate cadet was Robert N. Barker. Several other appointments including officers and noncoms were made at this time. The Thursday before G.l. Lt. Col. Stewart, Western ' s P.M.S. T., and Lt. Kelly came over from Washington University and gave the ca- dets a taste of government inspection. The ar- rival of the officers was a surprise to the cadets, and nobody pulled any big boners. And so the corps approached government inspection, an account of which appears on the next page. — 71 — GOVERNMENT INSPECTION The approach of May I found the military department humming with activity. The inspect- ing officers had been announced as Col. Ull- mont W. Holly and Lt. Col. Edward P. Lukert. Both officers served overseas in World War I, and Col. Lukert received the Purple Heart and Silver Star decorations. Col. Holly was a gradu- ate of Harvard. The cadets spent part of Wednesday and all day Thursday scrubbing their quarters and pol- ishing their rifles. The mechanical scrubber was brought into play as well as a considerable amount of old-fashioned elbow grease, and the rooms were made to glisten like a white tablecloth. As close to the crack of dawn as possible on Friday morning, everyone was stir- ring and checking up on last-minute details, giv- ing the rooms a final sweep-out until finally a white handkerchief could have been used to dust the entire barracks and it would still have been spotless. At 8:30 the inspectors arrived in tow of Col. Moore. Inspection call sounded and the cadets waited in their rooms, praying that they had been leading good enough lives lately to war- rant a ii+tle help on the side through such trying circumstances. One officer started in A and one in E, and they gave the barracks a fairly rapid going-over, only doing a few acrobat- ics on the picture molding now and then. Immediately following came the review and inspection of rifles which, despite a little rust here and there, seemed up to par. After parade, Hutchison went through close order drill with his war strength platoon while Heiser showed an inspector what his platoon knew about the proper technique of extended order drill in the grove. Then came the attack and defense problems under Cadets Raith and Block, respectively, who both showed the sort of training that places Western on the honor list. Saturday morning tests were held in what the corps had learned in their military science class- rooms. This year for the first time in the history of the R.O.T.C.. written examinations were given in all theory subjects. The oral method of questioning was still used in the practical classes, however. The questions were fired right and left during the entire two days of inspection, but most of them required common-sense an- swers which could be given after a little thought. The written questions were generally acknowl- edged to be easy. The inspectors left around noon after having given the toughest inspection Western has ever had, but the cadets were as- sured that they had done a good job. After G.I., the drill periods were used to prepare tor the Commencement exhibition. - 72 - COLOR GUARD May, J., Deutman, Horner, McCary BATTALION STAFF Maj. Barker, Lt. Borntraeger, Sgt. Maj.

SYMBOLS OF SPORTSMANSHIP THE W CLUB Block Presides at Formal Initiation School hod been going on some two weeks when suddenly during the C.Q. period a list of names was read off over the loud speaker to report to Major Magee ' s office. These cadets were members of the 1942 W Club and formed the nucleus of that organization for the coming year. A number of plans were made at this first meeting, but most important was the choosing of officers. Those elected were: Block, president: Dahlin, vice-president: Albiez, secretary: Hale, D., treasurer: Lutz, sergeant-at-arms. Early in December, after the awarding of prep football letters, the club voted on those who were eligible to become new members. Four- teen cadets met the requirements and after hell week were formally accepted by the club. The social event of the year was the gay, hilarious, exhilarating, old-fashioned barn dance given by this organization. The canteen walls shook with merry-making and laughter at the farmers ' zoot suits. The club is sponsoring a plaque to remain in the school, and each year two names will be added denoting the outstanding athletes, in the opinion of the society, for the year in both the B and C” classifications. And so ends a successful year for Western ' s athletes. Informal W Club Initiation Bartholow, Weeke, Hutchinson, Hargraves — 74 — Left to Right— Copt. Aller, C footboll, C bosketboll; Copt.

Patient, understanding, reliable — these three words state the truth about Western ' s coaching staff. A successful year in athletics and an even greater success in building men is the ac- complishment of these mentors. Capt. Gould, dean of coaches, made a fine record during his seventh year at Western, increasing his long list of championship teams. Captains Geddes and Aller in their first year here gained the respect and friendship of all the cadets and developed some splendid teams. Capt. Marchand again had the soccer and tennis teams for the second year, and under him these organizations showed the spirit and sportsmanship desired in all athletics. Replac- ing Capt. Williams as swimming coach, Lieut. Schubert developed a great team that lost only one meet. These coaches symbolized the A.B.C. League s aim for clean, hard-fought contests. They set a high standard of athletic competition for all of their players to follow. Aided by Lieut. Raudenbush, Lieut. Kahle, and Sgt. Tarter, they were able in the few hours given to team prac- tice to instill into their groups a desire for vic- tory and a sense of fair play seldom seen on hiah school athletic fields. Our hats are off to these men who made our teams. TEAM MANAGERS — Ruby, Shaffer, S., Harter, Jasper, Wildermuth, Pearson, Kurtz, Kirsch, Bill. Schneider. Mon- aghan, Fleming. Skuhler, J. THE RED The thud of shoe leather on pigskin, the sharp bark of signals, straining, sweating bodies, block- ing and tackling each other. By these signs one knows that football practice had begun for the 1942 season. Coach Gould received three outstanding regulars from last year ' s squad. Halfback Dutch Dahlin from Chicago, Illinois, and halfback Bill Block of Paragould, Arkansas, formed the nucleus of the backfield while all A.B.C. center, Bub Bartholow of Champaign, Illinois, anchored the line. Coach Gould also had four other lettermen from the 41 squad including Seigel, guard; Lutz, quarterback; Albiez, tackle; and Duffy, guard. With these men as a backbone, Capt. Gould quickly molded an impressive starting eleven for the Roxana game. However, Western ' s of- fense was slowed down considerably by a downpour which caused a very muddy field. Leibrandt proved to be the sensation by scor- ing one of the touchdowns and picking up 10 yards a try for a 140-yard total. Dutch” Dahlin crashed over for the other touchdown and Kitty Katz made one of his two tries for the extra point good. RAIDERS The next week the team traveled to St. Louis to meet a tough South Side Catholic squad on C. B. C. ' s field. The game was waged on even terms for three-quarters even when Lutz, regular quarterback, was hurt early in the sec- ond quarter and Katz was sent in to direct play. The game looked as if it would be a scoreless tie, when late in the fourth quarter South Side connected on a long pass to score and win a heartbreaker from, the cadets, 7 to 0. University City was the Red Raiders ' oppon- ents the following week. The Indians were con- sidered to be one of the best teams in the district and proved it by rolling over Western, 19 to 0. The Cadets put up a gallant fight but the U. City boys had too much on the ball. The first league game was with John Bur- roughs on Eaton Field. Neither team played up to par and the game was a drab affair until Leibrandt intercepted a flat pass and ran un- molested down the sidelines for a touchdown. Everything looked rosy but late in the last quarter Kieffer of Burroughs intercepted a Western pass and ran eighty yards to a touch- down. This won the game tor John Burroughs, ihlin, Halfbock, Co-Capt. J. Hutchison, End Leibrandt, Fullback F. McMurry, Tackle VARSITY since D. Hale had been tackled earlier in the game behind the goal line for a safety. A week later McMurray, P. regular guard contracted infantile paralysis. The school was put under quarantine and no strenuous exercise was allowed. The team got in a few days of practice after the quarantine before the McBride game. Everyone thought the team would be in a slump after the letdown, but they came through like veterans and ran over McBride, 26 to 7. Lutz scored twice, Block once, and Dahlin once, while Katz converted two of his four attempts. Against Principia the Red Raiders repeated the performance of the week before by trim- ming their rivals, 26 to 7. The victory was fea- tured by a beautifully synchronized passing at- tack starring Dahlin, Block, Gilason, and Hut- chison and Hutchinson. Many ex-grads wit- nessed this contest and were happy to see Western come out on top. On one of the muddiest fields ever produced by Heaven’s rains, Western outplayed Country Day but their tricky offense wouldn ' t click in the pinches be- C R I DM E N cause it wasn ' t adapted to muddy going. Country Day scored early in the game and was never headed, Western ' s only score being a safety in the third quarter to make the final score, 6 to 2. This game ended the A. B. C. League competition with the Red Raiders com- ing in third. Thanksgiving Day drew near with the tradi- tional Turkey Day game between Alton High School and Western Military Academy. The whole corps marched over to the Alton field and formed in the stands, making a color- ful spectacle. It turned out to be a beautiful day for the gome and everyone was tense waiting to see who would win. The teams bottled on even terms for three quarters, now Western threatening, now Alton coming close. In the fourth quarter a sudden change came over the Red Raiders and they completely collapsed letting Alton trample them, 33 to 0. Although the season wasn ' t as successful as hoped for, the team displayed great courage and sportsmanship — win, lose, or draw. H.

The 1942 grid squad had many sterling athletes who will be missed next year. On the other hand, there are many good, young players and several veterans who will return as a nucleus for the 1943 Red Raiders. May the true Western spirit of fight and sportsmanship carry on next sea- son and down through the years to come. That is the wish of the Seniors who will no more wear the Red and Blue.

V for Victory ' will represent this year ' s B grid team, but the brilliant undefeated and un- tied record fails to express the success of this great eleven. They were undisputed champions in their division of the A.B.C. League, 6 vic- tories, no losses. Coach Geddes ' s first team at Western proved to be tops in spirit as well as ability. It was all for one and one for all. Setting out to have fun as well as to win each game, the champs, led by Thomas, Knowles, and Reinhard in the line and by the four horsemen, Wagner, Endsley, Eberle, and Porter, in the backfield, crushed all opponents. In the first league battle against Country Day, Western showed a well coordinated at- THE FOUR HORSEMEN Wagner, Porter, Eberle, Endsley tack and a strong defense. At Principia, the B boys ran wild as the line outcharged the foe. Then, how can we forget the first Bur- roughs thriller, when Dave Endsley crossed the goal for the only touchdown to win a bare 6-0 victory! The Prin game here was exciting, when the cadets, after a poor first half, ran a 7-0 lead to a 46-0 runaway. Monnier ' s and Knowles ' s consecutive intercepted passes and Gottfried ' s defensive play were features. Bob Wagner and Chuck Eberle sparked the team to a 33-6 win over Codasco. It was a big day for Donny Bohlmann, end and place- kicker, who made every one of his tries good for extra points. The season ended gloriously when Captain Porter found a hole in the Burroughs line and hit pay dirt to give Western the final triumph after a battle royal on a muddy St. Louis field. The players will always remember Coach Geddes ' s unfailing patience and help. It was he who made the team.

The team was un- usually small, but they made up for their size in spirit. It was evident, however, that all op- ponents were going to have the advantage in size. Nevertheless, Western ' s smallest gridmen played many thrilling games and in no contest were they snowed under. What is more, they learned football and sportsmanship. Grassfield showed that he is great material for the bigger teams, as he bore the brunt of the ball-lugging and reeled off sensational runs. Rarey, Parmelee, and Sherman were also stars in the baclcfield, while Hullverson, aided by Gould, Colburn, and Lewis, exhibited some fancy line play. Coach Aller did a great job with his material, and the boys gave him all that they had. They were a real team to watch as they battled courageously all the season against taller, heavier opponents without giv- ing up or losing their morale.

P.aphael, Hargraves, Cooch Schubert, Barker (Capt.), Lyman, Vorreos, J., Hullverson, Phillips, Regan, Wildermuth (Mgr.). Each graduation seems to take the best men from Western ' s teams, and when the 1943 swimming season rolled around, only three let- termen were on hand for the varsity squad. But the immortal spirit of Capt. Williams, former coach, remained and descended upon the new mentor, Lieut. Schubert, who guided the tank- men to an undefeated season. Coach Schubert and his mermen had an- other obstacle to overcome. The pool was closed because of a quarantine before Christ- mas. That prevented valuable, pre-season prac- tice. However, Lieut. Schubert outlined a rigid, conditioning program which began to put the team into shape. The first meet bore results. With traditional onions on their breath, Western swimmers con- quered the hard-fighting Principia squad. Barker, Lyman, Hargraves, and Raphael turned in great performances, while Verreos J., Axel- rood, Phillips, Warner, Nicolay, Davey, end Hullverson showed promise. The cadets then dropped a practice meet to the Downtown Y of St. Louis, which did not count on the record. Principia again was over- come and McKinley fell victim to the W.M.A. splashers. To crown the season, four cadets entered the state meet at New Trier High School at Evanston, III., against 25 high schools. Raphael wen third in the 220 free style, Lyman tock fifth - 82 - in the 100 free style. Barker won sixth in fancy diving, and the four as a relay team won fifth. These four swimmers ran up enough points to rank in sixth place in the entire meet. It was due to the persistence and the loyalty of the team and the excellent training by Coach Schubert that such a fine record was estab- lished by the 1943 edition of the Red Raider tankmen.

The varsity team this year went out and captured eight out of fourteen games for its new coach, Captain 1 Fighting Bob Geddes. The team could have used some of the B , C , and D spirit, but it did a good job by winding up second in the A.B.C. League. The season began with a bang when Donny and Willie Hale led the Raiders to four consecu- tive wins over Bethalto, Whitehall, Country Day, and Roxana. D. Hale ' s last-second basket pulled the Roxana game out of the fire by a 28-27 score. The boys dropped their fifth fray to Principia when Stitt found the range in the last quarter and fired in six baskets. However, the team bounced back to trim Bethalto in a return match, 39 to 32. In Burroughs ' gym no one could hit the basket and a disparity of free throws made it even worse as the Raiders dropped this one, 35 to 24. Western split a pair of non-league contests by traveling to Ferguson for a 42 to 33 vic- tory, and meeting Chaminade after a gruelling field problem to drop the decision, 42 to 27. Prin Day rolled around the A game was the culmination of the day ' s activities. It was a see-saw battle all the way when, with two minutes to play, Quilligan and Rudolph both hooped in long shots which gave the Raiders a 30 to 26 victory to wind up a perfect day for Western. St. Charles downed the Cadets with a superior offense, 39 to 27. Western gained revenge in their next game by staving off a Burroughs rally to win, 31 to 30. In their final league game Western had a chance to win the championship by beating Country Day. But Donny Hale, high scoring center, developed a swollen ankle. The boys tried hard to win but were overcome, 37 to 29. Since Western was a member of the I. H. S. A. they entered the State Basketball Tournament. The Raiders played in the toughest regional in the state at Wood River, their foe being Collinsville, champion of the Southwest confer- ence. Collinsville proved to have too much fcr Western, as the cadets lost by an overwhelming score of 52 to 21. Thus ended the season, an enjoyable one for the team and their coach, Capt. Geddes. , IIAI.E POBWABO BARRY ' Cl’ ABO — 85 — AGAIN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS- THE B BASKETBALL TEAM! Championships seemed to be a habit with Western ' s B teams. It remained for the B basket ball quintet to bring home the second league title to the school, as those boys proved to be the class of the circuit. Entering the first game with little practice, the cagers lost their first non-conference tilt to Bethalto, 21-19. But from then on they set a scorching pace. In the first conference battle, and outstand- ing offense coupled with a tight defense gave the scrappy cadets a victory over Country Day, 35-21. They continued to play a spiendid brand of basket ball by defeating Principia and John Burroughs in order. Coach Gould ' s lads again ventured outside the loop and tackled the strong Wood River five. For the first half, it was an even battle but finally Wood River got hot and forged ahead to victory. In the second round of league play, the B’ team continued to burn up the conference, though all opponents set out to dethrone the cadets. Coach Gould ' s lads bowled over the three opponents in succession for an undefeated record in the circuit — and the championship. Bohlmann and Yavitz led the sparkling of- fense, while Porter and Eberle paced the de- THRILLS OF THE SEASON A long-range shot! Western controls the ball! fense which held down opponents ' scores. The team was fortunate in having the experienced and capable Capt. Gould as coach. And to the team and coach — good luck in defending the A.B.C. title next year!

Second Row — Coach Aller, Nicholson, Spiva. Gole, Hirsch, Reichert, Sher- man, Wrisley, Maeys, Shatter, Mgr. C TEAM Teamwork was the keynote of this year ' s C basketball team. Coach Aller really merited and got the best efforts from everyone. Col- burn, an eighth-grade star who promises to do big things in the coming years, showed much natural talent, and was easily the most out- standing member of the team. When he clicked, so did the team. The team ' s record for the year was six wins against three losses. In these nine games the cadets amassed a total of 231 points against their opponents ' 164. This was made possible by the high-class ball handling and team work among the members of the team. Adkins as center did a swell job, as did the forwards, Boze, Parmelee, and Fernandez, and the guards, Lewis and Colburn. In their first league game, the team played jittery, and was defeated 28-20. However, in their second league game the cadets came back and whipped Principia 33-16, with Colburn and Parmelee as the out- standing players. Burroughs was the next vic- tim, and cadets were on top of the 23-15 score. However, Country Day came back again to put another mark in the cadet loss column. At the end of the season, Western was tied for second place in the C division of the A.B.C. League. The team uncovered several natural athletes, and Coach Aller helped these boys along with valuable tips. All enjoyed the season. D TEAM The scrappiest team and the team that played the best basketball in many games this year was our Mighty Midgets, the D cagers. Ably coached by Lieut. Raudenbush, these younger cadets played many games with Alton teams of their size and ability. Their spirit and fight enabled them to win 4 out of 7 contests for a very successful season. Jensen and Ems- wiler were outstanding players, but all of the lads deserved credit for their fine showing.

Although the team did not win a game, it showed plenty of fight all season under its Coach Capt. Marchand. Capt. Hank Drosten proved to be the outstanding player with his steady play and consistent breaking up of enemy thrusts. Gordie Marks turned out to be a great goalie all season and made many spectacular stops under pressure. In the forward wall Lomelin, Mac- Dougell, and Katz stood out by their heads-up play and fast footwork. Schmidt and Long ably filled the other forward positions. Yetter, Elizondo, and Horner played their halfback positions well. Kottler and Albiez filled the fullback slot. Katz trie for a goal. Hot action at John Burroughs The cadets ' team work probably could have been better, because in all their games they threatened to score time and time again but the cooperation necessary to put the ball in the goal was sometimes lacking. Against Burroughs the team showed their fine mettle by battling a tough Bomber team in sub-zero weather, finally losing a great game 3 to I.

Moore, head of the mili- tary department, introduced to the cadets the War Conditioning Program. For one hour each afternoon, the cadets went through a stiff set of exercises in addition to the regular drill. The physical toughening program had five phases. First, Mike Left Jab Kramer, noted St. Louis boxing coach, taught every cadet pu- gilistic combat. He was aided by Capt. Gould and Capt. Geddes. It all wound up with a thrilling school boxing tourney. Lieut. Schubert and Lieut. Kahle conducted standard army swimming contests in the pool. Military calis- thenics were replaced by such strenuous exer- cises as push-ups, rope climbing, chinning the bar, etc. Lieut. Panhorst constructed a ten- barrier obstacle course early in the fall, and it was really something to scramble over. While one platoon tackled the barriers, other cadets were taking physical exercises under Lieut. Hamilton. Last, but very interesting, was the course in Commando Tactics and ju-jutsu, taught by Lt. Commander Mathis, who came from the Navy at Lambert Field. He taught cadets wrestling and hand-to-hand combat, in which no holds were barred. — 92 — WESTERN ' S LUSTY THINCLADS” First Row— Hale, D., Endsley, Block and Heiser (Co-Copts.), Waters. Knowles.

Knowles, Hargraves, Himmel, Rahel, Harrington, Marks, Keeler, and Albiez all helped to make up a team, that in spite of cold weather and lack of warm days for practice, was never swamped in any meet. Some fine young athletes will be back for next year. May TENNIS TEAM Fernandez, Nutting, May, J., Coach Marchand. Silverblatt, Rudolph, Rarey. Kneeling — Schneider, Mgr. Nutting Under the fine coaching of Capt. Marchand, the tennis team enjoyed a very successful fall season. When spring rolled around, how- ever, championship pros- pects were hurt when two stars, May and Silverblatt, took the mumps and lost much practice time, while Nutting was busy helping Major Henderson. Practice did not really get under way till April 1st. The team split the first two matches, and then dropped three in a row to league opponents. Three matches remain to be played and the boys have determined to win them for Capt. Marchand. May has been the No. I singles man, with Silverblatt and Nutting in the 2 and 3 slots. Silverblatt and Nut- ting usually team up as first doubles, with Rudolph and May in the second pairing. Rarey and Fernandez have frequently seen plenty of ac- tion. The season, regard- less of the outcome, has been most enjoyable. Rarey Fernandez Rudolph May and Nutting, No. I doubles Nutting Smashes One Silverblatt A BASEBALL TEAM First Row— Ruby (Mgr.).

THE A NINE This year’s baseball team was plagued by injuries, wet weather, and absences, yet with one game left to play they can still tie for the league title. Outstanding men are Dahlin, third year on team; Katz, hard-hitting outfielder; Eberle, steady young pitcher; Bohlman, smooth second baseman, and Don Hale, star catch- er. The others are also up to stand- ard. Coach Gould deserves a hand for developing such a fine team from young players. Top — Harter stretches for low throw. Middle — Double play, Porter to Wagner.

M. Hinton, our sponsor and advisor. If it had not been for his guidance and efforts, the success of this book would not be ours. OCTOBER — It was in October that the question of whether we would have a RECALL or not came up. Barker spoke to Col. Jackson about it, but it was not until November that Capt. Hinton was asked to sponsor the annual. NOVEMBER — Senior Class meeting was held and the members voted unanimously to have a yearbook. Capt. Hinton pointed out the diffi- culties, but the class was not discouraged. Ten- tative s+affs were organized. Lieuts. Hill Crouse, and Koertel volunteered to help the staff. DECEMBER — The RECALL began to take form. Contracts were signed, Raith was made business manager with Degenhardt as assistant, and Barker was named editor with Heiser as assistant. Lay- outs were submitted by department heads before Christmas furlough. JANUARY — The yearbook began to take defi- nite shape. A master dummy was made to scale; Raith ' s bank book began to bulge; Weaver start- ed on the pictures. DECEMBER FEBRUARY — Final exams caused a lull in the work, but soon the staff was on the job again. The pictures were proving to be a tremendous Droblem, what with the shortage of films, flash bulbs and paper. Yet the staff kept plugging away. No one will ever know what a task those pictures were. MARCH — Pictures began going to the engraver — what a thrill! Everyone was snapping pictures. Mr. Ashen-Brenner took individual portraits. Capt. Hinton began to call for written material. APRIL — The midnight oil was burned every night in this month. Everyone concentrated on the pic- tures, working day and night to assemble them, make up panels, and shoot them out. On April 17, the group celebrated by closing the pictures and having refreshments in the Camera Club at midnight. As proofs began to come back, the RECALL began to be more than just ideas sketched on a page. MAY — Now came the rush of completing writ- ten material. Individual photos were delayed — shortage of labor. Finally they went to the en- graver. We hoped and prayea that the RECALL would be out on time and that it would be a sixth All American. The long grind is over. Let ' s keep our fingers crossed. FEBRURRV HARCH BROADCASTERS OF THE NEWS! THE SHRAPNEL STAFF Thursday night is eagerly awaited at Western, tor on that night the weekly school paper, THE SHRAPNEL, is dis- tributed at the mess hall tables. Over thirty staff members keep their fingers on the throbbing pulse of cadet life. Each week the paper mirrors the pano- rama of W.M.A. activities — academic news, sports, military events, social af- fairs, club happenings, victories, de- feats, alumni news, sidelights of the campus and classroom. Publishing THE SHRAPNEL is one activity that begins on the opening day of school and ends only when the last deadline is met at the close of the year.

BUDDING JOURNALISTS The members of THE SHRAPNEL staff are one of the most loyai groups of cadets at West- ern. They receive little applause for their end- less work of recording the school news, but they get their satisfaction from knowing that a job is well done. Capt. Hinton, faculty advisor, is the man who meets the staff every Thursday night, taixs about deadlines and having ar- ticles in on time and supervises the planning of the paper. THE SHRAPNEL has won high ratings among school papers. Staff members who are Juniors or Seniors qualify for the Quill and Scroll, in- ternational honorary journalistic society for high school.

Think of the rosettes of the Senior Dance Committee, and you think of Mrs. Henderson, Social Director at West- ern for many years, who has helped cadets plan so many enjoyable dances. Amid the qay colors of patriotic decorations, full dress uniforms, gay evening gowns, and lilting music, the cadets dance to the strains of the orchestra. The oc- casion? It may be Hallowe’en, Thanksgiving Day, Mid- winter, Washington ' s Birthday, St. Pat ' s Day, May Day, or Commencement. Formal dances are held once a month. The girls come from far and near — Monticello College, Alton, St. Louis, or some cadets bring their one and only from the home town. These military balls are colorful and gay events. First, the couples are greeted by a receiving line of faculty members and their wives. The grand march begins, and soon the cadets and their dates are marching down the center of the field house, eight abreast, a mass of gold braid, cadet grey, gorgeous dresses, and still more gorge- ous girls. Cn week-ends, cadets have informal dances at the Cadet Club. The music is furnished by recordings in an atmosphere of congenial friendship. Refreshments are served, girls are escorted to their cars, and everyone is happy. The smaller dances are often given by class groups or other organizations. After a hard week of studying, drilling, and carrying out duties, these dances are welcome relaxation for all cadets. Top, left — Cozy Corner of Canteen. Right, Younger Cadets Step Out.

Henderson Gracious Social Director AM OFFICER AMD - Cadets do other things besides studying, drilling, and struggling on athletic teams. Every prospective officer must have a well-rounded background — hence the slogan, An Officer and a Gentleman! Cadets at Western hove plenty of opportunity to gain the social background of a gentleman. Col. Jack- son’s formal dinners schoo 1 cadets in the rules of etiquette. There are dances, either formal or informal, every week in the year. And there is Monticelio College! This famous girls ' school at Alton provides many charming partners for W.M.A. donees, and there is a faithful and gallant group among the cadets, The Confirmed and Constant Monti- goers. Some of the most delightful memories of West- ern cadets will center around those visits to Monti — sip- ping cokes in the Cabin, dancing to the recorded music, or strolling on the beautiful campus. How often the old bus has chugged over to Godfrey with its load of Monti- goers, eager to meet the girls who they know will be waiting for them.

Twice a year all Western cadets have an all-day excursion on the Mississippi River. In the fall, the trip is up the river into the Illinois to Marquette State Parle and back. The Monti girls usually go on this trip. In the spring, the trip is down past St. Louis to Jefferson Barracks and back. Who can forget the dancing on the ball-room deck, the picnic lunches with parents and friends, the horse-racing, the lazy loafing on Old Man River? In addition to these dances and excursions, some cadets also visit nearby Lindenwood College. Others find their social a nd heart interest among attractive Alton girls.

Two cadet organi- zations joined national groups at that time, and there were already others with national affilia- tions on the campus. The National Honor Society granted a char- ter to a group of nine cadets in recognition of their academic achievement and high charac- ter. Major Persing acted as sponsor and guide. This society will create a greater enthusiasm fcr scholarship and will give a goal to strive for on a national basis. At the same time, Western ' s dramatic club. The Cadespians, was accepted by the national high school dramatic society, The Thespians.

Gage was instrumental in securing this recognition. Cadets had long participated in state contests and twenty-two actors qualified for the troupe. The Thespians seek to de- velop poise and self-control on the stage and an appreciation for dramatic literature and its technique. The Quill and Scroll, honorary journalistic society, was already well established. Mrs. Henderson organized the Vachel Lindsey chap- ter a Western when she was advisor of THE SHRAPNEL. Only Juniors and Seniors who make real contributions to the school paper are eligible. When it is remembered that THE RECALL has won All-American rating for five straight years, that the military R.O.T.C. is a vital part of the National Government ' s military training program for potential officers, and that West- ern athletic teams take part in state tourna- ments and even some national events, it can be seen cadets in their activities have real na- tional affiliations and competition.

Many skilled cadet players were developed, and the game became so popular that the club met twice a week in the library. Yetter won the school tournament, while Saltiel finished ahead in a beginners ' tourney. Rudolph was elected president of the club, Crouch vice- president, Gordon secretary, and Axelrood libra- rian. Only one outside match was played, which Soldan High won. A feature of the season was to see Capt. Marchand playing the entire club at once, or taking on members while he was blindfolded. He has yet to lose a game at Western. Top, Right — The Chess Club Seated — Rivera, Crouch, Capt. Marchand, Elizondo. Standing — Rasmussen, Vanocur, Gordon, Axelrood, Rudolph. Bottom, right — Rudolph has Capt. Marchand stumped (?). DEBATE CLUB Capt. Nelson this year greatly broadened the speech program and revived interest in debate. Twelve cadets formed a club and met each Mon- day evening to discuss the topic of the year — Resolved: That the world should form a federal union after the war. Six two-man teams partici- pated in an inter-scholastic tournament at Clayton High School, winning one debate. Transportation difficulties curtailed outside competition, but the many intra-murai debates gave the members skill in research, organization, critical thinking, and pub- lic speaking. The club was a success in its first year. Top — Gordon Brings Out o Point. Below — THE DEBATE CLUB Standing — Schaller, Simmons, Wright, Berkowitz, Axelrood, Gregg.

How about going on a jaunt to the Mississippi River bluffs with the Hike Club? The bus will carry us to the river. There we may scramble on the picturesque cliffs, explore the limestone caves, slide and wear out the seats of our pants, work up an ap- petite, and enjoy an exhilarating hour out in the open. Many groups can testify to the fun they have had on these hikes. WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY? The Art Club, sponsored by Mrs. Gould, always is swamped by a rush of cadets after C.Q. Here the gang spends many pleasant hours, painting, sketching, modeling in clay, and making lariats, metal ornaments, belts, and leather work. The club members also perform the useful service of drawing posters for school events, designing pro- grams, constructing and painting stage scenery. Many cadets will have delightful memories of that little nook n D Barracks, known as the Art Club. The Camera Club this year ran into the war- shortage problem. The snapshot fiends were lim- ited by iack of films, paper, and flash bulbs. Yet the photographers kept going. Mr. Robert Graul, photographer of the Alton Evening Telegraph, ' instructed the cadets in the fine art of picture taking and developing. And THE RECALL owes most of its pictures to club members, especially to Weaver and Pope, R.

Immediately, work began on two plays which were given in the later part of November. They were Fixers, Inc. , under the direction of Lt. Hamilton, and 0 3d Closed — Detour, under the direction of Capt. L?age. At Christmas time, the Cades- pians collaborated with the Glee Club and Swmg Band to present a minstrel show. Between semesters, notice was received that ■ he Cadespians were accepted into the National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society for High Schools. This formally changed the name of DRAMA the organization from Cadespians to Thespians. When the charter arrived, a formal initiation was held, followed by a party in the canteen. The final program of the year featured Afraid of the Dark, directed by Lt. Hamilton. This play received honorable mention in the dis- trict contest and was presented at Monticello. Capt. Gage then presented Country Slicker, a comedy in one act. At commencement, under the direction of Mrs. Henderson, the Seniors presented A Con- necticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court, a comedy in three acts based on Mark Twain ' s book of the same title.

The great popularity which the music depart- ment had was largely due to the vitality and personality of its director, Lt. Turmoil. Al- though it was his first year at Western, he made music an integral part of school life. The record of Western ' s band, which was the best in many years, may be found in the mili- tary section. Perhaps the most popular organization was Western ' s own 15-piece dance orchestra, The Westernaires. The performance of this ver- satile group Included incidental music for dra- matic productions, participation in the W-Oub show and the Christmas Minstrels, and play- ing for the kick-off dinner opening the Com- munity Chest Drive. Their large repertoire of latest hits and old favorites brought many re- quests to play at dances for the community, in- cluding the Shurtleff Junior Prom. As an award for meritorious service, certain members of the music department were privi- leged to attend concerts during the year by the Don Cossack Chorus, Albert Spalding, and the Madison County Symphony, of which Cadet Grassfied, Lt. Turmoil, and Capt. Aller were members. Cadets at Western have learned to like mu- sic under Lt. Turmoil, especially through the frequent assemblies used to stimulate interest in group singing. The senior quartet, composed of Chamber- lain, Drosten, Stuhler, J., and Haeger, was ac- tive during the later part of the year. The Glee Club of 25 voices had a little trouble starting, but blossomed out into a beautiful choral group. It participated in Town Hall Meetings, in the Spring Concert on Easter Sun- day, and the recital at commencement. THE SWING BAND— OUR OWN WESTERNAIRES Straight across — Lt.

Typical Senior , Full of Dignity Beautiful Bob and The Gil REVEILLE Cadet Western is lying in bed dreaming or snor- ing when the shrill notes of first call ring through the barracks at 6:10 in the morning. He brushes the hair out of his eyes and wishes to go back to sleep but he knows he must be dressed and have his bed made in about ten minutes. Soon the hack- neyed blast of reveille floats over the campus. Three hundred cadets stagger in front of their doors for the reveille check-up. The barracks chief comes trotting down the stairs to receive the floor chief s report: All present or accounted for, sir. Cadet Western is sweeping out his room, but hurriedly drops the broom as mess call blows at 7:00. The cadets pour out upon the walks like bees from a hive. They are eager to tackle the eggs, waffles, bacon or whatever Stafford dishes up for the early meal. Cadet Western eats heartily, for he has a long, busy day ahead. After breakfast, barracks are inspected and ev- erything is ready for classes. Five class periods now face our typical cadet from 8:00 until I 1:30. Then he goes to assembly to hear some of the daily chapel talks by cadets or by some visiting speaker. Juniors and Seniors must all deliver speeches in assembly before they can graduate. At noon comes another pleasant interlude — Cadet Western eats again. All through mess the conversation buzzes at the table. Incidents of school life are discussed and the talk is never dull. When the Major moves the battalion out, Time for Reveille Brush-up During C.Q. — I 14- Classes TO TAPS there is a mighty rush tor the post office. It is time for the mail. Perhaps Cadet Western gets that welcome letter from home or a dainty note from that certain one. Classes are resumed, after a brief scramble in the Q.M. for soap, pencils, paper, etc. From 2:30 on Cadet Western drills. One day the period lasts an hour: the next day if may be two hours. As soon as he learns about close order drill, he is in- troduced to extended order and field problems. He may have to go over the obstacle course or take part in practical demonstration classes. At last, comes the recreation time. Cadet Western usually goes out for his favorite athletic team. If he doesn ' t do this, he may study, write letters, phone his g rl, or join the gang, The Canteen Cowboys, down at the cadet club. At 6:00 P.M. evening mess is served. Afterwards, there is a short activity period for hobby clubs, dramatics, Shrapnel, organization meetings, etc. At 7:45 the night study hall begins. Cadet Western does his snare of cramming and concen- tration. After the long day, there is still time to clean up the room, shine the shoes, radio a little bit, and prepare for bed. By 9:45 Cadet Western is really tired and sleepy. He crawls gratefully into bed. The mellow notes of always wel- come taps sound dimly in his drowsy ears. The lights flash off, and another day has passed into history. Top— EVERYBODY HAPPY? Around the Senior Table — Stondmg: Chamberlain, Goodman, Lutz. Seoted — Deutman. Hale, D.. Proetz.

Friday, May 30 SENIOR PLAY — A masterpiece of costuming, direction, and acting was Mr. Henderson ' s pro- duction of the Senior play, Rostand ' s The Ro- mancers. The cadet cast starred Thomas, Tor- rence, and Bernstein, while Miss Eveyln Wolf of Shurtleff had the leading feminine role. Saturday, May 30 This busy day began with the Lower School graduation in the morning, with twelve cadets receiving diplomas. Following this, all military competitions were held on the Lower Field. In the afternoon, the W.M.A. band gave an en- joyable concert while the alumni attended a luncheon in the mess hall. The peace and quiet of the afternoon was then disrupted by a noisy sham battle, in which A and C companies were the attacking and defending forces. A demonstration of the weapons used by the in- fantry was then given by the cadets, followed by a riding exhibition by the W.M.A. horse- men. At 5:15 the farewell battalion dress pa- rade was held before a large crowd, and com- rades marched shoulder to shoulder for the last time. Military decorations were awarded, and rifles were checked in. On Saturday evening occurred the gala so- cial event of Commencement, the Junior Prom in honor of the graduating class. The brilliant ceremonies, the grand march beneath the arch af sabres and staffs, and the many lovely girls made the occasion one of beauty and pleasure never to be forgotten. Afterwards, the Seniors had their final get-together at 1:00 A.M. around the bon-fire behind the gym. Sunday, May 31 COMMENCEMENT DAY— At 10:00 A.M. the 63rd annual commencement took place. Cadet Hill delivered the salutatory address and Cadet Rawls, T. the valedictory. The speaker of the day was the Honorable Hugh Cross, Lieut. Governor of Illinois.

The school year was officially closed as the graduates lowered the flag for the last time and said goodbye at the Memo- rial Gate.

Here are five, less familiar than some, that deserve to be re-read and remembered by us all, whether young graduate or member of an earlier generation. Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels he is worthy of himself and claims kin- dred to the great God who made him. I shall try to correct errors where shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views as fast as they shall appear to be true views. Among freemen there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case and pay the cost.

Dunford, A.M., Head Master 5607 Bartmer Avenue PArkview 683 I St. Louis, Missouri — 173 — LEADERSHIP . . . On February 18. 1943. the Vi ar De- partment and the Navy Department of the l nited States conferred upon the men and women of the Stoner Manu- facturing Corporation the highest hon- or that can he paid to civilians engaged in war work . . . the coveted Army- Navy “E” for outstanding achievement in production. “E” is further evidence of Stoner ' s leadership. However, the “E” that now flies above the Stoner plant and the “E” badge that Stoner men and women wear are more than symbols of achieve- ment; they are an inspiration to achieve more, an incentive to keep on producing beyond what seems “pos- sible.” in WAR In announcing the award. Robert P. Patterson. Under-Secretary of War. said “You men and women of the Stoner Manufacturing Corporation are making an outstanding contribution to Victory. You have every reason to be proud of the record you have set and your practical patriotism stands as an example to all Americans.” The awarding of the Army-Navy 100% - 10 f f EVERY MONTH The men and women of Stoner ' s are equally proud of their outstanding rec- ord in bond purchases — a record that earned for their company the distinc- tion of being the second in the middle west to be awarded the 10% Minute Man Flag. Today every employee and officer of Stoner has pledged at least 10 ' , of his salary every month. STONER MANUFACTURING CORP. AURORA, ILLINOIS — 174 — and in PEACE Vnhiutor With the return of peace, Stoner will again manufacture their popular “Univendor can- dy vendor. Thousands of these machines made in post war years are now on location throughout the country — many in the can- teens of the Army and Navy. “Univendor” earned its leadership through building a superior candy vendor. The mul- tiple price vending feature, (the vending of merchandise ranging from 5c to 20c) larger shelf capacity, wider selection of merchandise, the positive foolproof operation and a de- pendable mechanism are hut a few of the many features that make “Univendor” the country’s number one candy vendor.
