THE 1955 RECALL Richard A. Silverman Editor Darse E. Crandall Business Manager “MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS WESTERN MILITARY ACADEMY ALTON, ILLINOIS CADET LIFE and LEADERSHIP IN ACADEMICS • MILITARY • ATHLETICS • ACTIVITIES 7 oLJeclica tion As we try to recall the important phases oj our prep school career, we find that there was really no one person entirely responsible jor our achievements, but that rather we were affected by a group. In apprecia- tion, we dedicate this yearbook to that group — the group of which you are members. Yes, this RECALL is dedicated to you, our fellow cadets. There was never any doubt in our minds as to whom this annual should be dedicated. YOU deserve that honor. Whatever we have ac- complished here, we have gained togethei — in the classroom, on athletic teams, on the drill field, and in all phases of school life. This sharing of effort and achievement has cemented our friendship and shaped our characters. So we will attempt to give YOU fust credit as we rejlect upon you, your academics, your military, your sports, and your activities. We hope that this yearbook will be a memento of cadet life and leadership and a lasting reminder of our association and experiences. We, the members of the RECALL staff, hereby dedicate this 1955 edition to our cadet comrades of today and to those who may follow us in the future. — 4 — I ABLE OF CONTENTS ★ ★ ★ ★ OPENING SECTION 2 Dedication 4 Views 6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ACADEMIC SECTION 10 Faculty and Staff 12 Academic Year 16 Seniors 19 J uniors 44 Sophomores 48 Freshmen 51 Lower School 54 ★ ★ ★ ★ MILITARY SECTION 56 Line of Command 58 The Companies 61 Military Events 66 ★ ★ ★ ★ ATHLETIC SECTION 72 Football 74 Basketball 82 Soccer 87 Other Sports 88 ★ ★ ★ ★ ACTIVITIES SECTION 92 Social Life 94 Publications 98 Dramatics 102 Campus Life 105 Kadet Kalendar 106 ★ ★ ★ ★ OUR ADVERTISERS 115 The Front Campus As Commencement I isitors Gather.

THE ACADEMIC YEAR This year, as always, the academic department was the very foundation of school life at Western. There were sports, trips, activities, social life, military work, and lots of fun and toil, but classes and the idea ol getting a sound education stood first. Lt. Col. Per- sing, Headmaster, assembled the finest faculty that the Academy has known in recent years. However, one link was missing. Maj . W. J. Buck, who taught Latin and German and built character for thirty- eight years,- was forced to retire because of bad health. He was greatly missed, though his classes were ably taught by Capt. Malone and Mrs. Clark. Academic morale hit a new high this year. Interest in classes was very noticeable, and the competition lictween individuals ami barracks was very keen. The prize to the winner of the barracks competition was permission for all cadets in that building to study in their rooms both day and night. The race for the salutatorian of the Senior Class was especially note- worthy. It was not known until near the end ol the year who would win that honor. Capt. Martin did his usual excellent job with the Junior-Senior speech program. Every memlier of those cl asses had to deliver a speech in assembly in order to gain public speaking experience. The idea frightened some cadets, but they found that it was a helpful and even enjoyable project. Cadets, especially the Seniors, were given various tests during the year to discover weaknesses, apti- tudes, and to become familiar with tests that they would be likely to have in colleges. Purdue Place- ment Tests, American Psychological Tests, College Board Tests, and many others were taken. In the Senior Class, definite efforts were made to lift the students up to the college level, as practically all of them were aiming at college careers. — 16 — Some of us will never enter a Western classroom again, but we shall always have warm memories of our academic experiences. We wish to thank and salute the entire faculty of the Academy for their gu idance, patience, and understanding during our careers as cadets. We feel sure that we are w r ell equipped tor the future, no matter what it is, and we think of our teachers not only as instructors, but as friends. BELOW 1.

We received courtesy and understanding from our instruc- tors, and, more than that, an ap- preciation of education and the in- centive to learn. And along with instruction, there came character building. We feel that we have been associated with fine men who were interested in our welfare.

For nearly thirty consecutive years, the efficiency of the corps of cadets has won the highest possible “Honor Rating” at the annual Government Inspection. Last year, W.M.A. hail an unusually good military staff, all regular army men, detailed as instructors by the Department of the Army. 1 hese seven men conducted practical drills and taught military theory classes. Many a Western graduate has testified to the value of his training on the campus when he was called into the service. Many alumni have gone on to win fame in the various branches of the service, and they have been found in every rank from major general on down. The military atmosphere is felt not only on the drill field but in the daily life of the school in the care of the barracks, the neatness of uniforms, the march to mess, the weekly dress parades, in reveille and taps, and in the ideal of discipline and duty. 1 he cadet corps of 1954- 55 has tried to uphold the high standards which are traditional in Western s military training. ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★ THR HONOR GUARD One fine military unit at Western is the famed Honor Guard, a crack drill outfit. 1 his group is made up of selected cadets. It specializes in fancy, precision drill. It also welcomes distinguished visitors and gives exhibitions at Government Inspection, commencement, and at other occasions. This smartly-uniformed Honor Guard never fails to win applause. Silver- man was the technical advisor, Gruwell the commander, and Schwartz the guidon bearer. — 59 — COMMANDANT’S STAFF The Commandant’s Office is the nerve center of the campus. From that central point emanates discipline, order, and coordination of activities. Above (lejt to right) — Col. Moore, Commandant, Capt. Rumley, Capt. Ililgert, and Lieut. Lamh. Absent — Lieut. Nowlin and M Sgt. Peacher. NEW CADETS TAKE THE ROTC PLEDGE At the very beginning of the year the new: cadets take a pledge of loyalty to the Reserve Officers Training Corps and thus become full-fledged members of (he Western ROTC.

Capt. Rumley’s boys showed great improvement, and practically all games were close. The players came out every week feeling that this was their big game, and so when they finally beat Burroughs, there was great rejoicing. With only Myers, Silver- man, Gruwell, Trespalacios, and Hooser as letter men, the team lacked experience. However, at the end of the season the comment was, “They were a team that had spirit and determination.” — 74 — HONORS AWARDED AT ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET In left picture above, Capt.

Coach Favre Gould came up with some great players. Otto Bean was one of the high scorers of the area, and he and Joe Holsen, captain, made the All-ABC and District teams.

Under Coach Rumley, they started the long task of learning the techniques that make good players. With Wilson, Camie, Moser, Silverman, P., Donley, and Newton setting the pace, this team went into each game with the idea of winning. It was this spirit that made them champs. The “C” five of this year will be the varsity five in two or three years. They have learned fast and will give a good account of themselves in the future. The “C’s” have made a wonderful start.

Complete! Another edition of the RECALL goes to press. Before we close, it is only fitting to give credit where credit is due. 1 he publication of a yearbook is a long and arduous task and necessitates “many hands on the wheel”. We personally owe our deepest thanks to various people who have contributed time and effort to make this book, what we hope, is a success. First of all, credit must go to our business associates. G. R. Grubb and Co. gave splendid service on engraving. The Hornsey Printing Company cooperated to the fullest extent. Orville Brown and other Alton Evening Telegraph men lent a hand on the job. The Becktold Company produced our fine cover and bound the book. The Ashen-Brenner Studios were patient and efficient, as usual, and were responsible for excellent photography. Often we needed help and suggestions. We found many people on the campus who were willing to assist. Major Hinton, our advisor, gave us unlimited aid with his “know-how” in the yearbook publication field and with many hours of work. Our gratitude to him. Miss Mullen and Mrs. Brown in the oflice were real angels. Their help was most valuable. The advice of Col. Persing and other faculty members was gratefully accepted. However, a lion’s share of the credit must go to members of the staff. One of the best in years, it was a hard-working unit. As in every organization, there were some outstanding individuals. Bill Zebedee rated special commendation. The business side of the book was very well handled, and it was always a great pleasure to work with Darse Crandall. So many of our friends, classmates, and roommates realized the burden and did everything possible to lighten the load. One person can claim a large share of the book’s worth. Archie Hooser spent many hours in writing, collecting material, making layouts, and keeping us on the ball”. His service was priceless. Larry Moore was very efficient as head of the subscription staff. In fact, thanks to all for work on the RECALL project. The pressure on the staff to get the book out on time was tremendous. Our apologies to anyone who may have had his toes stepped upon. Generally, most people were cooperative, and to them we doff our hats. That’s it! Since we have tried to pay our debt of appreciation, we shall put away our mirror and glance into the crystal ball of the future. The picture is encouraging. The Senior Circle will be worked upon and made a place of beauty. The chapel will go on to its ultimate goal. Closer unity among all underclassmen will result in one corps that is well coordinated and disciplined. We believe that Western will continue to be a great school, as it has been for 76 years. In closing, we hope that we have done justice in portraying the academics, military sports, and activities of the students of 1954-55. If this yearbook is an interesting record and a valued memento of your career at Western, then all of the labor has been worthwhile. Richard Alex Silverman — 113 — ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PHOTOGRAPHY S.
