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.

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.

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.
