Presenfs THE WESTERN IDEAL QA SCHOLAR CAN OFFICER QA SPORTSMAN oA GENTLEMAN Qur lives are like a ship upon the sea, her sails filled with the winds of ambition, her keel fashioned from impervious faith, and her rudder guided by moral values born of experience. Western, through the instructing medium of practical experience, undertakes to stabilize our courses through the formation of firm ideals. In academics, we are given the tools with which we can strive toward a higher degree of erudition, and the spark of awareness is kindled so that we may be conscious of the infinite horizon of knowledge. ln military training, we are indoctrinated into a life of system and discipline and we become accustomed to the self-imposed restriction of will. We realize the responsibility of developing the qualities necessary for leadership and the obligation which we owe to our country. ln athletics, we are offered facilities for physical development. At our disposal are many healthful and diverting sports which emphasize the value of teamwork and sportsmanship. In social life, we are encouraged and instructed in the ways of a gentleman. We learn an appreciation of courtesy and gracious living which might otherwise be overlooked. As undergraduates at Western, we were in the great transition of adolescenceg our minds, bodies, and characters were in a formative phase of life. And as Seniors, ready to say our last goodbyes to the dear friends and memories of Western, we hope that we may indeed exemplify the traditional school ideals - A SCHOLAR, AN GFFICER, A SPORTSMAN, AND A GENTLEMAN. DEDICATIDN T0 CAPTAIN B. C. BRESSON COACH TEACHER FRIEND The Seniors of 1952 Dedieate This Recall In Grateful Appreciation Of His Inspiring Friendship And Untiring Efforts , In Their Behalf The meeting held to choose the person to whom this 1952 Recall would he dedicated took only ahout ten minutes.

SEATED W- Murphy, F., Bradford, Samuels, A., Hazel, Hulick. Membership in the National Honor Society is considered by many to be the greatest single honor that can be won by a cadet at Western. This group, with its exacting standards, is held in the highest esteem by all. The organization takes a constructive part in many phases of cadet life under the guidance of Col. Persing. The National Honor Society is not solely academic, though its members must be in the top fifteen per cent of their classes in grades. It stresses four cardinal points f scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Every member understands that his character and conduct must exem- plify the loyalty that he has pledged. The pledge taken at the formal initiation, The Candle of Honor Ceremony , is as follows: With this candle that symbolizes my fidelity to the National Honor Society and to the high ideals for which it stands, I pledge myself to the service and the perpetuation of the National Honor Society's aims and ideals, both on this campus and elsewhere. And then in unison, As one flame lighteth another, nor grows less, so may we, by our honorable purpose, kindle in the hearts of our fellow cadets enthusiasm for high scholastic achievement, unselfish service, sound leadership, and clean character. ls it any wonder that the National Honor Society means so much?

The club offers two medals to encourage scholastic progress. ACADEMIC YEAR The sky is a deep azure background for a pink cloud halo above the Western campus. A warm spring breeze and a brilliant sun create an air of exhilaration. Ah , you say, this portends something extraordinary. Surely an important event is about to happen. No, we are anticipating nothing, more than the daily class schedule. You may thinlc this will be dull and unexciting, but how wrong you are! ln the classroom can be found the thrill of an Ex grade, the pathos of impend- ing failure, the breathless moments of class participation. If we have been negligent and slipshod, the instructor is a brute. If we earn superiority, we pat our own selves on the back. That is our nature. ACADEMIC YEAR, Cont. Let us look into the classrooms. We see a brilliant array of cherubic faces, nodding sagely while taking part in the fascinating discussions on such intangibles as happiness, fear, etc., which we are told college professors like to throw into our unprepared faces. It is Col. Persing, expounding techniques of expres- sion and original thought which will later be invaluable. We walk across the hall and find the old master of German and Latin, Maj. Buck, insisting on drill and more drill. It has been said that this man can teach a mule to speak German or to appreciate the works of Caesar, so thorough are his methods. We have a great respect for him as a gentleman and a scholar. In the next room, Maj. Gould is trying to pound algebra, trig, and solid geometry into his solid students. He knows his stuff, and his apt teaching is appreciated by all of the cadets. We hear Capt. Williams, as usual, in the midst of a history debate. Students always consider his classes tough but full of opportunity to learn, and among the most enjoyable on the campus. Down the hall, Capt. Green is holding forth with skill and experience. It is said that he can make an hour of plane geometry seem just like half that time. And across the corridor, genial Capt. McKinney hablas to his prod- igies in Spanish. He can speak like a native and tries to bring his students up to the standard of South of the Border. Major Hinton, a veteran instructor, is teach- ing English, literature, vocabulary, composi- tion, and what have you? He is looked upon by cadets as one of those rare individuals to whom one can take his problems and be as- sured of sympathetic and helpful advice. His work in student publications is outstanding. The last room in the building is the domain of Capt. Lamping, who teaches algebra and mechanical drawing. He shows remarkable patience with younger students. An occasional wrangling can be heard from this room, until the poor student finds that he is going to live. Now let's skip across the campus. There we find Capt. Martin busy with the Lower School l.

ACADEMIC YEAR, Conf. cadets. His graduating students have proved the value of his excellent instruction by their records in upper classes. He is an affable man who keeps his students in mind. Downstairs is one of our best new teachers, Capt. Brown. He is a man to be proud of, as he instructs juniors and Seniors in English and literature. His classes speak for themselves, and their work is of high quality. Mr. Toerne also teaches Freshman and Sophomore English classes in this building. He took Capt. Rib- bing's classes at the end of the first semester, and we never see an unhappy face leaving his room. Lieut. R. B. jackson's classes in history and literature are well worth a visit. Here we see classes conducted along the line of strict parliamentary procedure. Lieut. jackson not only does sound teaching but he also shows the systematic way of doing things. Over the Q. M., Capt. Bauer has one of the fullest schedules on the campus, but his classes in bookkeeping, typing, commercial law, and business principles and practice are truly stimulating. He is a friendly instructor, always ready to lend a helping hand, but he demands good work. As our tour of classes nears an end, we must see Capt. Bresson in his general science and biology labs. What an interesting place his room is, full of fascinating specimens and exhibits, and full, too, of some of the best instruction on the campus! And finally down to E , where we find a dynamic redhead, Capt. Lange, busily explaining physics or chemistry. Here is a teacher of the highest capabilities. He is a perfectionist and demands the best, but when all is said and done, cadets know that it is for their benefit. We end our tolli' of the classrooms and the hundreds of little dramas that take place every day. Our instructors are a great bunch of teachers and friends. We are beginning to wonder about that little halo over the campus. But we do know that our academic year is worthwhile and that we are being prepared for the future by a superior and earnest faculty. l. Faculty costume party on Capt. Martin's birthday. 2. Capt.

BH CLASS OF '52 LEWIS TRACY ARNOLD TRACY 66 Crestwood Drive, Cloyion, Missouri 4 Years Tracy was one of those boys endowed with the in- valuable capability of being able to achieve his ends in an unobtrusive but thoroughly effective way. He was noted for his never-failing dependability, a trait which earned for him many duties of trust and responsibility. Though of an unassuming and quiet nature, he dis- played remarkable determination and aggressiveness in athletics. In fact, he won many distinctions and awards as a top wrestler.

BARNEY REX 714 W. Maryland, Phoenix, Arizona 3 Years Dave was one about whom it was said that self- control was his forte. His quiet perseverance pushed many projects to success, especially dramatics. He has presented many outstanding performances on the stage. His talent on the stage was unusual. Dave also found success in other fields. He participated whole- heartedly in basketball and tennis and made indis- pensable contributions to both of those teams. Cadet Sergeant First Class, Asst.

BASSETT, Ill SAM 1200 Big Bend Road, Sl. Louis, Missouri 2 Years Loyalty and sincerity were two of Sam's outstanding character traits. He proved to be a true friend to many. His amicable nature and friendly attitude enabled him to work harmoniously with others in every field of endeavor. Sam was a thoughtful and intelligent chap. Whenever he met a problem, he had a mature enough outlook to think it through and inevitably to conquer it. He wielded a very clever pen. Sam was one Senior whom we can never forget.

SENICRS DURAND BENJAMIN, JR. BENNY 6420 Murdoch, SI. Louis, Missouri 2 Years Durand's whole manner was epitomized by one dis- tinguishing trait, and that was the valuable attribute of loyalty. This was exemplified in the way he chose his friends - slowly and deliberately. Durand found universal popularity at Western, and he formed bonds of friendship that, unlike most other high school associations, will probably endure for years to come. He had a truly scientific mind. But aside from his pro- pensity for the exact studies, he had a feeling for music, which earned for him the position of drum major.

LAWRENCE D. BRETSNIDER 835 Longacre Dr., University City, Missouri BLACKlE CHARLES F BRADFORD CHUCK Carthage, Tennessee 4 Years Bradford - a name that can claim the singular dis- tinction of possessing synonyms. They are such nouns as perseverance, vigor, and sincerity. Perseverance? Chuck after once grabbing a problem by the tail, would wrestle with it until he found himself on top. Vigor? He headed committees, joined teams, and actively backed many of the Senior projects. Sincerity? Chuck had an unshakable faith in his ideals, which will prove to be the basis for outstanding success.

These fundamental social traits have made him a welcome sight at the year's social functions, and have made him an invaluable member of the dance committee.

BUSH WIRE 6702 Kennelh Avenue, Parma 29, Ohio 3 Years Warren was well liked by his compatriots at Western, for only after a brief acquaintance his enviable at- tributes could easily be discerned. He had an un- assuming manner that served to emphasize his quiet effectiveness and greatly enhanced his popular appeal. Warren was accepted as a fellow with scrupulous in- tegrity and principles, and was in fact, counted among the most loyal and trusted of his class. Cadet Master Sergeant, Asst.

He delved wholeheartedly into any problem or project confronting him. This is a valuable asset anywhere and will aid Bob in all his endeavors. Bob has ridden the crest of campus life with an uninhibited ease that proved a source of driving encouragement for other cadets. Many times Bob has provided the spark that not infrequently enlivened an evening in the barracks or prodded the spirit of the Nj. V. basketball team.

COLLINS TOM Girard, Illinois 2 Yoon A good nature and drive are an admirable combi- nation of character for any individual. These two traits should enable Don to go far in his future life. He was a likable gent who contributed much to the campus life in its little jokes and its seriousness. Many a get-together has been made complete by his presence. His athletic abilities were clearly shown in his outstand- ing service with the varsity basketball team. He made an enviable record all the way around.

L., Mexico 3 Years It is a terrific handicap for a young man to come into a strange country to procure his education. He is faced with many difficulties that are by no means easy to overcome. Cueva faced this impediment and has made a success of his life here. He conquered every obstacle in his path and has come out on top in every phase of cadet life. He has made many American friends with his amiable personality, and will long be remembered b his northern comrades as a true am- V bassador of good will from South of the Border. Cadet Sergeant First Class, Caclespians, 1 year, Senior Dance Committee, Camera Club, 1 year, Riding Club, 2 years, Drum and Bugle Corps, I year. ROBERT G. DOLLUS . BOB 423 S. Douglas, Belleville, Illinois l Year Bob came to Western only this year, but in this short time he made many friends and established an enviable record. He has worked hard and it has brought reward. Bob's football abilities were seldom paralleled, as he added much strength to the Raider grid squad last fall. He became an important part of the barracks life, as his constant smile and care-free nature won many friends and livened every party. Bob was sincere and dependable and will surely go far in years to come. Cadet Corporal, Most Valuable Player Football Award, W Club, 1 year, A Football, 1 year, A Track, 1 year. H DON DONLEY Freiburg, Illinois 4 Years HDONII Happy-go-lucky, handsome Don etched a worthy record during his four years at Western. Don was very definitely an extrovert. He liked to be with people and to engage in activities. Don's well-muscled body gave him a high standing on the athletic field. He had a clear evaluation of objectives and was in many phases of cadet life. Cheerful, friendly, and cooperative, he will be remembered as one of those persons who were always happy.

With his cheerful personality and integrity of character, he started out as one of the finest members of our class. He exhibited industry and intelligence in everything that he did and possessed those intangibles of person- ality which constitute leadership.

He has endeared himself not only to the corps, but also his fellow Mexican cadets, through his loyal and sincere efforts in community projects. His real popularity in activities was exemplified by the fact that Marcelo was elected captain of his C football team. He was also a skilled wrestler, and his gentlemanly qualities were attested to by his appointment to the Senior Dance Committee. Asst.

GODFREY FLASH 307 Carlyle Place, Arlingion Heights, Illinois 3 Yeqrg Brad was rather reserved during his three years at Western, but he came to the front during his Senior year. He showed a loyalty, aggressiveness, and a will- ingness to serve that made him one of the most valuable men in the class. He was outstanding in golf and played very good basketball. Brad was well appreciated by both cadets and instructors. He was a high-class gentleman in every respect.

Bill was a star grid player, and his track records will be difficult to surpass. But even more appreciated than his contribution to athletics were his ready wit and sense of right, both of which traits were a source of wonder to the cadets under his guidance. Let the pre- diction now go on record that Bill Stickley will prove to be our class's claim to fame.

His manner was very discreet, which also has made him a Very likable chap. What he lacked in stature, he made up in might. His size never caused him to falter on the field of athletics.

Dick had a definite desire to do well and to be successful, as evidenced by the diligent work in the organizations of which he was a member.

ZICKGRAFF ZlG 914 Bigelow, Peoria, Illinois 3 Years Bill was noted for his many little pearls of witticism that he brought forth at just the right time. A true joker when the time was right, Bill still had a very serious air about him when seriousness was necessary. He was a sincere and honest fellow who could be trusted to the utmost. Bill was what one would call an all-round man. He was a lover of basketball, and had the right to take great pride in the fact that he reached a degree of proficiency in this sport seldom equaled.

They were leaders in every sense of the word, as commanders of units on the drill field or as barracks and floor chiefs in the barracks. These officers led the battalion through another successful Government Inspection. They will generally be remembered by the cadets under them for their loyalty, fairness, good judgment, and efficiency. CADET OFFICERS Back Rott' f Lt. Vance, Lt. Kennedy, E., Lt. Kieck, Lt.

R. E. Pursel, a new and energetic director, developed one of the best groups of musicians ever to appear at Western. The band added pep to football games and other sports contests. lt played snappy music for all parades and military ceremonies. The musicians gladly took part in any school func- tion. Yes, the band this year added music and rhythm to campus life. In addition, eleven out of thirteen contestants qualified for the State Contest at the District Contest, an unequaled record. Hats off to a fine director and a wonderful band. 239 -55- COLOR GUARD Qne of the snappy units in the corps is the color guard, which carries the colors in parades, reviews, and on formal marches.

This was the first year for Capt. Tom Watson, former Ohio State star, as head coach at Western. He did a great job and developed a scrappy team. Bill Kieck, Raider captain, was a mighty halfbaclc. He was named on the A11-A.B.C. team and was selected by his mates as The Best Player in the Alton Came? THE 1951 SEASON The 1951 football season will always be re- membered as the year in which the Red Raiders broke their long victory drought. Capt. Tom Watson, new coach, assisted by Capt. B. T. Bresson, turned out a scrappy eleven which won the very first game of the season against Clayton, 12-7, and there was great rejoicing at Western. Returning from the 1950 squad were A1 Samuels, Red Miller, Fred Vedder, Ernie Hazel, and Ron Raber in the line and Bill Kieclc, Doug Baker, and Bill Stickley in the backfield. These were augmented by a host of fine young athletes - Higinio Ureta, Carl Hulick, Al Stentiford, Bill Zickgraff, Don Lerner, Gary Boe, Jenn Milbauer, Charlie Faulkner, jay Gintz, and many others. Included were good new men, such as Bob Dollus, voted by his teammates as their most valuable player. Bill Kieck, veteran halfback, was elected team captain. The Raiders started with a victory over Clayton High at Clayton, 12-7, as Bill Kieck and Bill Stickley hit pay dirt in the first and last quarters. The team received a roaring welcome upon re- turning to the campus. On September 29, the Watsonmen bowed to powerful Kirkwood, 39-7. Still, the Raiders led in first downs, 12 to 7, and completed 11 out of 17 passes. Stickley made the only cadet T.D. .-74... 1 FRITZ SCHLUETER Winner of Dads Award for loyalty and service.

Not in picturefHarris, Wilkiiistvri, jones, Price. The next week, Octoher 6, the Raiders scored a hig upset hy romping over highly rated De Andreis on Eaton Field, 25-13. Doug Baker scored twice, A1 Stentiford once, and Bill Stickley once, with Kieck plunging for an extra point. Cn Dctoher 13, the Raiders lost their first A.B.C. game to Country Day on Eaton Field, 19-13. lt was a game that easily could have gone the other way, and the cadets put up a rugged battle. The following week Westerii lost a heart-hreaker to Collinsville, 13-12, on the W.M.A. gridiron. Breaks went against the cadets, who seemed to have the edge in everything except the score. Doug Baker's line running and Ron Raher's punting were features of the close contest. The Red Raiders were greatly hampered by injuries as they journeyed to john Burroughs on November 3. Hulick and Baker were out. As the result, Agnew led the Bombers to a 48-13 victory on a cold hlustery day. The play of Steege and Boe stood out for Westerii in this interesting league hattle. ln their only night game of the season, the varsity cadets were nosed out hy Central Catholic at East St. Louis, 7-O, when their opponents scored in the last five minutes of play. Again Westerii led in first downs. The Raiders returned to the victory column hy defeating Principia in a conference game here, 12-6, in snow and hitter cold. They clinched third place in the league. Steege rammed over right tackle for one T. D. early in the game, and Kieck's 40-yard gallop after intercepting a Prin pass was the deciding score. The Alton game on Thanksgiving, the last in this long rivalry, went to the Alton Redbirds, 19,0 The hattle was very close until the Raiders were worn down by superior reserve strength, and Alton pushed over two scores in the hnal quarter. Playing their last grid game for Westerri were such fine performers as Kieck, Steege, Samuels, Stickley, Hulick, Hazel, Faulkner, Vedder, Miller, Milbauer, Ureta, Ziclcgraff, Ralwer, Stentiford, jones, and Dollus. Thus ended a great season full of good football. The Red Raiders were outclassed in only two games. ln all the others, they won or were defeated in very close hattles. They led all opponents except one in first downs, and averaged around two touchdowns per game. Al Samuels, Carl I-Iulick, and Doug Baker were named on the All-District team. The cadets were proud of the Raiders of 1951, and they believe that football will continue on the upgrade at Western in 1952. W.M.A W.M.A W.M.A W.M.A W.M.A W.M.A W.M.A.,..,.. W.M.A. .... ..

One of the most active organizations on the campus this year was the W Club, composed of Western's outstanding varsity athletes. Though not too promi- nent in recent years, it really came into its own under the leadership of Bill Kieck, president. The club did much to rebuild sports and develop school spirit at Western. To gain admission into this exclusive group, a cadet must win his W in football or two varsity letters in other sports. Exceptions have been made in the case of some cadet who was extremely good in one sport. The club supervised the corps at games, helped officials and visiting players, promoted sportsmanship, and aided Maj. Gould, athletic director, in running the athletic program. The HW Club last year had approximately 30 mem- bers. They contributed a plan to develop and encourage young athletes by the big brother method. Each Senior took from one to four young players under his wing to coach them and advise them. The W Club bestowed four coveted awards on March 16. The awards to the outstanding young athletes on the B , C , and D levels went to Miller, R., Martinie, and Cvruwell respectively. They are the type of players who will make the varsity later. Another award, a W letter, went to a cadet who has never played on a major team at W.M.A. He was Ray Pohlmann, the most avid sports backer on the campus and unusually efiicient manager of varsity football, basketball, and track teams. He contributed much to Red Raider athletics and deserved the singular honor which he received. ax ' s Y V iw' MSE l l in M wi? 45 f- F x i f is I if ' ff Q Q 5 4 i ew, Vw ,f 1 wwe 3.52 4 mmfx wiv H anew ,Q AZ S rw I VARSITY RECORD The Red Raider cagers displayed this year the fine play and good sportsmanship on the court for which they have always been noted. They would have prob- ably made an outstanding record, except for the fact that the flu knocked out several key men in january and February. As it was, they were tough opponents and usually were hard for any team to conquer. Coach Tom Watson had six Seniors on the squadf Stentiford, Zickgraff, Stickley, Alger, England, and Collins. Their splendid work will be missed, but Burden, Wilkinson, Kerr, and Scoville will undoubted- ly form the nucleus for a fine quintet next year. Bill Zickgraff was elected captain and was one of the top players of the area for three years. He was always named on the All-District and All-A.B.C. teams. 1952 Record W.lVI.A. .... .... 3 7 Edwardsville . . W.M.A. .... .... 3 8 Wood River. . . W.M.A .... 35 Principia ....
