7545 Westmoreland Clayton. Missouri Harry 2 Years HARRY RICHARD YELTON Active in all things and too active in some, describes Harry Yelton. He had a good analytical mind and was a good student. Harry was a good athlete and he liked to play football tor the sport of it. He did not give the girls around Western much of a whirl but rumor has it that he was being true to a Clayton beauty. Harry was one of those fellows who could argue about any- thing and this was one of his favorite pastimes, another being his trombone on which he was really hot. J. V. Football — 2 yrs.; Swing Band — 2 yrs. 2432 Boston Blvd. Detroit, Michigan Flip 2 Years ROBERT LEONARD FENTON ' ' Flip , as he was known to his friends on the Western campus, was the type of fellow who could get along with anyone in a friendly and engaging manner.

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.

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.

Michigan 3 y ears JACK PRIOR Jack Prior came to Western as only a firecracker, but he is leaving here as a stick of T.N.T. He was undoubtedly one of the finest athletes ever to hit Western. He was a terror on the gridiron, and he made up for his lack of weight by his continual drive. This drive carried over to his school work since his grades were always high.
