12629 Old Mill Place Detroit, Michigan Boo-Boo 4 Years MARVIN HAROLD FLEISCHMAN Belonging to that strong group of cadets who hail from Detroit, Boo-Boo Fleischman came to Western four years ago as a bewildered, but eager cadet. During those four years he expended a great deal of effort toward his goal of winning friends, and he succeeded admirably. Although a conscientious plugger for both the football and track teams, Marvin was unable to compete in his Senior year because of injuries. However, he gave encouragement to the team members, remembering how he had felt on the B and C Teams. His friends at Western will long remember Boo-Boo Fleischman as one of the really swell fellows they knew. Cadet Staff Sgt.; B Football — 1 yr.; C Football — 1 yr.; A Track — 1 yr.; I. V.

Mitch Maggos pre- sented another example of a fine cadet at Western, who could back up his statements with actions. Early gaining recognition on the athletic field, Mitch was, in his Junior and Senior years, a member of the W Club. Mitch ' s ability to handle business matters stood him in good stead in his Senior year, when he was chosen as Business Manager for the Recall . Without his un- tiring efforts, this book might never have been published. His teammates and his many other cadet friends will never forget Mitch Maggos, who was a true friend of all.

Anyone could turn to him for aid and knew he would get it because Neal was a sincere friend of everyone. He worked hard at everything he undertook and this made him the possessor of many high academic records and placed him in respon- sible positions on the Recall and Shrapnel . He was active in several sports, and could usually be found over at the Gym, working out. He was always doing something. We all feel assured that in the years to come, Neal will take a hold of the situation and be responsible for his own future which we know will be one big success. Cadet Tech.

His amazing ability to dominate all fields has proved what he always maintained, that the mule state produces fellows that are full of action and determination. Arnie” was always looking for newer and greater conquests in the line of activities. A great guy that could never be held down, he was constantly getting into some minor mischievous trouble.

A freckled-faced redhead, Barney has practically eaten, drank, and slept horses for the three years at W. M. A. During his Junior year he aided Col. Moore as manager, and together they virtually put out the annual W. M. A. Spring Horse Show, He has journeyed to St. Louis many times to participate in local shows and has never come back empty-handed. His flashing smile was seen at almost every social function of the school for he liked to dance, and more than that, he liked the fairer sex. Both the cadets and the girls of the vicinity will find it hard to fill Barney ' s place next year and years to come. Riding Club — 3 yrs.; Manager of the W. M. A. Horse Show — 2 yrs.; Riding Team Letter — 3 yrs. 627 Garfield Avenue Clyde Rockford, Illinois 4 Years CLYDE RALPH HUSMANN If you ever needed Husmann for anything while he was at Western, at any hour you were sure to find him at the swimming pool. He was the official key keeper , and on him rested the responsibility for the opening and lock- ing up of Western’s pool. The natural follow-up of this was that he should be on the A Swimming Team, and ass ' t coach for the other cadets who par- ticipated in this sport. Husmann was the type of cadet upon whom responsi bilities could safely be placed. He had a warm and friendly attitude which won for him friends who will miss his companionship.

7238 Pershing Ave. St. Louis. Mo. Barney 4 Years HOWARD WILLIAM BRIDGES Small in physical attributes, but dynamic and capable — those words aptly describe ' Barney ' ' Bridges. Four years ago from the bright lights of St. Louis came Barney . Deriving considerable pleasure from the little things of life, he could enjoy himself in any situation that arose. Even though being slightly handicapped by his smallness of stature, he participated in many forms of athletics. One of the most beloved forms of exercise to Barney was just sitting around shooting the breeze ' ' with the fellows. You could almost in- variably catch him telling a gullible listener a whopper . Industrious and trustworthy. Barney ' s friends see no limit to his success.

CONNELL Six feet tall, dark hair and a captivating smile, Bob Connell was a real ladies ' man. Everything a girl could want in a fellow, he possessed. A smooth dancer and a polished mind made him an immediate hit with the Les Femmes . His sincerity and liking for true robust comradeship are marks of his character. Always on the constant go, he used up some of his excess energy on the J.V. Swimming Team. His record in all phases of campus life steadily rose, and so did his popularity. Bob was one of the finest, truest fel- lows of the Senior Class. Remember him — he ' s on his way to the top. Cadespians. J. V. Swimming Team — 1 yr. 401 West Hale Bubbles Osceola. Arkansas 4 Years ALBERT FRANK BARHAM. JR. Frank always has been the object and victim of many practical jokes. It is only through his congeniality and well-known knack for being able to take the good and bad in equal light, that the fellows found a real pleasure in his association. Being very reliable, he proved to be one of the best varsity foot- ball managers the school has ever known. Always present at the right time to help the coaches equip the squad, he was a real asset to both Major Pitt and Capt. Aller in putting out a championship football team. His classmates feel sure that whether the road of life is rough or smooth, he will take all obstacles in the Frank Barham manner.
