McRoberts Business .Manager WE SALUTE 75 YEARS OF SERVICE IN THE EDUCATION OF YOUTH 1879 THE ORIGINAL WYMAN INSTITUTE 1954 WESTERN MILITARY ACADEMY TODAY After the Fire of 1903 In 1903 Western ' s main building. which included part ol the original Wyman Insti- tute, was burned. Col. A. M. Jackson, superintendent at that time, with great energy had new buildings ready for cadets by the next Septemlier. lie started the fire-proof construction which is characteristic ol Academy buildings today. Cadets in Uniforms of 1890’s and 1900’s These uniforms look strange today, but the military neatness and the eager brightness of youth were evident in those days of long ago, despite high collars, long hair, and quaint caps.

Moore Commandant 1 he Senior Class of 1954 proudly dedicates this RECALL as a token of appreciation for the inspiration and guidance which he has given to all cadets during their careers at Western. Col. Charles H. Moore W.M.A. ' 21 I he members of our class will remember the genuineness, the capability, and the sterling character of Colonel Charles 11. Moore long after other memories of cadet life have faded. Each cadet looked to Colonel Moore as a man who knew the problems of cadets, both fiom the lewpoint of the Commandant and from the cadets themselves, for he was once a cadet at estern himself. The fact that he was always striving to make every phase of student life more rewarding or enjoyable signified the deep affection that he has for boys and for his own work. After the Seniors venture forth to carve their own careers, the wise counsel anti kindlv interest of this granite personality will be greatly missed, but the ideals which he taught and personified will form the foundation upon which a future can be solidly built. Anti so it is to Colonel Moore that the staff gratefully dedicates this 1954 RECALL.

When the season had ended, only one victory had been scored, but some of the games were exceedingly close anil interesting anil were decided by breaks. 1 lowever, the boys learned a great deal of football, put up a good fight, had fun, and found that Capt. Rumley was a real coach anil a fine man. Normandy was pushed to win the opener, 20-7, as Parker scored for the cadets. The Raiders, leading 7-6 with 3 minutes to go, lost a heartbreaker to Kirkwood, 20-7, when Ash- lock made two quick T.D.’s on a pass inter- ception and a long pass. W ood River outclassed the cadet grid men with a powerful offense, 28-0, as Estes stood out for the Raiders. Principia was loaded in the first A.B.C. League game and swamped Western, 39-7, with Trespalacios making the only touchdown for W.M.A. Again the cadets led most of the way against Marquette, but were finally nosed out in a close and hard-fought game, 13-6. John Burroughs then downed the Raiders in a one-sided league contest, 32-6. Tolen’s 70-yard run accounted tor Western’s only tally. Wayne Tolen ran wild against Benld and scored three times to lead the cadets to a victory, 33-7. Trespalacios on a plunge and a Morris-to- Jackson pass netted the other T.D.’s. The Codasco game was the best of the season and was nip and tuck. The cadets lost to Country Day, 33-18, but were the first team to score more than one touchdown against the St. I-ouisans. Ralph Wilson played a great defen- sive game. University City’s powerhouse closed the season by conquering Western, 39-0. At the football banquet, Millard Backerman, star lineman, was chosen captain and was given a special award. Don Kiss received the Dads Award for loyalty and service, and Ralph Wil- son, halfback, gained Col. Jackson ' s “Pigskin l aps Award” for the best performance in the final game.

He developed a brilliant group of dribbling and shooting artists, but his players were the shortest and smallest on record for a W.M.A. varsity quintet. They played good basketball, but with almost every opposing team boasting from two to five giants in the lineup, the cadets could not cope with them in rebounding. As the result, the season ended with the defeat column overweighing the victory list. Dave Parker, captain, was a “shorty” who was rated as one of the best men in the area, and he placed on the A.B.C. and All-District teams. Martinie was a hot shot, and Fleer, Jansky, Bean, and others showed some high-class court play. — 84 — «A BASKETBALL RECORD W.M.A. 28, Wood River 71 W.M.A. 45, Roxana 74 W.M.A. 54, Chaminade 84 W.M.A. 37, University City 49 W.M.A. 45, Country Day 55 W.M.A. 56, Medora 53 W.M.A. 59, John Burroughs 44 W.M.A. 52, Belleville 79 W.M.A. 47, Country Day 63 W.M.A. 68, Shipman 49 W.M.A. 45, Principia 54 W.M.A. 54, Bunker Mill 55 W.M.A. 39, John Burroughs 56 W.M.A. 53, Alton 72 W.M.A. 58, Edwardsville 110 ACTION ON THE HARDWOODS m- Top: Martinie open for a layup.

YEAR’S RECORDS OF THREE FLASHY TEAMS “J.V.” BASKETBALL RECORD For the First time in A.B.C. League history, the Jayvee cagers competed in a schedule of their own. Under Mr. Hunter they played good basketball and had much to do with build- ing the varsity, as they furnished daily scrimmages. In fact, some of the players were good enough to get into the varsity lineup at times. 1 he Jayvees ended the season with a good record of five victories and four defeats.

The “C” reserves, known as the “D” team, played two games of their own and won them. Capt. Rumley had some fine varsity material in the making on that young “C” team.
