16 East Main Street Mascoutah, Illinois Bob 2 Years ROBERT LOUIS DAUBER Upon entering Western, Bob quickly caught on to the cadet routine at West- ern. His industriness and determination opened ior him a high rank in the Academic and Military Departments. His supreme basketball skill and graceful ease on the hardwoods will be hard to replace next year. A suave operator and a debonnaire cosmopolite, he is a connoisseur of night life. A gay dog with the ladies, he attended all social affairs of the school and each date he escorted made him the envy of the other cadets due to her loveliness. It is without hesitancy that we predict a career that will reflect credit to himself and to whatever field he may enter. Cadet Color Sgt.; I. V.
