Abxenfees-YN'alker, j., Hathcock, A., Douglas, Emswiler, 'l'., Taylor, M. One more year has gone hy to add to the prestige of lYestern as one of the foremost pre- paratory schools of the lfnited States. Through the loyal guidance and unswerving standards of our Headmaster. Blajor C. L. Persing. YYestern has received high recognition for scholastic ex- cellence from the colleges and universities of the nation. Blajor Persingls goal has always been thorough academic preparation and true char- acter development.

They learned to face these facts and huckle down with the industriousness and seriousness ol a senior. Seniors accepted the responsihility of supply- ing leadership in the Corps on the athletic held. on the drill ground. and in the classroom. As seniors they had to set the example for under- classmen to lollow. lhis leaderslnp was fur- nished through two highly respected organiza-
