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. With the aid of a well- trained. carefully selected. and highly educated stall' of instructors. he has placed Western among the leading secondary schools of the country. 'llhe academic department this year was the major force on the XY. RI. .-X. campus. Cadets were influenced more hy their scholastic work than hy any other phase ol' student life.

Blany a htrigf, or college board student learned to hurn the mid- night oilf' poring over some of Captain Doc Aller's toughies,' or concocting a theme for Captain Hood. They saw the vistas of foreign languages. literature. history. mathematics. and other fields of knowledge open wide before them. They knew that competition on a national scale on the Wt-sr Point exams. Naval R. O. T. C. tests. and College Board exams would he tough. 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-
