SENIORS WARREN S. 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.

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.

SENIORS GENARO CUEVO, JR. TURCO Privodo Gulierrex 7i9, Monterrey, N. 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.

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.
