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. Cadet Staff Sgt.r C Basketball — 1 yr.; D Basketball — 1 yr.; Varsity Ten- nis Team — 1 yr.; Swing Band — 3 yrs.; Cheer Leader — 3 yrs. 92 Webster Woods St. Louis. Missouri Bob 1 Vi Years ROBERT W. 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. Varsity Football Manager— 1 yr.; Varsity Soccer Manager — 1 yr.; Glee Club— 2 yrs.; Subscription Manager of the Recall .

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. Track— 2 yrs.; Inter-barracks Track High Point Man — 1 yr. 1015 Langdon Milch Alton. Illinois 4 Years NIKITA G. MAGGOS Always having a smile and a good word for a friend. 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.

3919 Bowen Street St. Louis. Missouri Art 3 Years ARTHUR C. SCHUCHARDT, JR. Arthur Schuchardt will always be remembered as a quiet and yet a friendly individual. He was one of those boys who seemed to draw friends without putting out too much effort on his own part. He was impressive in his loyalty to his school, his group and to himself Art ' s grades were always on the up- ward rise and he made his teachers see that he was always trying to im- prove his mind. Art always had a big hello for anyone and this made him a well liked member of the class of ' 47. Cadet Staff Sgt.; Ass ' t Floor Chief. 1st Floor C ; Recall Staff Photographer; I. V. Tennis — 1 yr.; Varsity Swimming — 2 yrs.; Camera Club — 3 yrs. 206 South Grove Street Oak Park, Illinois Nippon 5 Years DONALD IRVING REED Much of Western ' s electrical development is due to one man, Don Reed. He knows more about electricity and electrical gadgets than any other cadet in school, even more than Orgel. He is always trying to improve on someone’s invention and perhaps this hobby will lead to great things in the future. Reed is a dependable worker in all things and was rewarded for this by being made Sgt. Major of the Corps. Reed made a great many friends during his years at Western and they will all be sorry to see him leave. Sgt. Major; Floor Chief of 4th Floor A ; Riding Club — 2 yrs. 1732 Main Street Alton, Illinois Sid 4 Years RONALD A. KEEHNER Sid Keehner moved onto the Western campus practically from his own backyard when he entered in his Freshman year. He is a native of the Alton area and well known to Western cadets During his four years as a cadet, Ronnie made supreme efforts to attain the things he sought and was well re- warded. Sid ' s interests turned to the Western Band, and the Westernaires, the Swing Band of Western, early in his cadet life. Sid had a few close friends, rather than many mere acquaintances, and they were true to him all through his years at Western. Good Bye, Sid , and Good Luck. Cadet Lt.; Business staff of Recall ; Band — 4 yrs.; Ass ' t Floor Chief of 3rd Floor A .
