seniors MARK BIRENBAUM 2 YEARS 6317 Clayton Rd. , Clayton, Mo. Mark came to Western only two years ago, but since that time he has established a firm place for himself in the Senior Class.

Now and then a quiet fellow comes along who gives service to his class and school far beyond the amount of dust that he kicks up. Such a cadet was Don Bourff. Don had a definite desire to do well and to be successful. When there was work to be done anywhere, you could always count upon Don to be in there slugging away. He gave much time to the Color Guard and became the master sergeant of that unit. Put this down as certain- -Don will reach his goal.

HUH OF 1956 GEORGE HAROLD CARPENTER, JR. 3 YEARS U.S. Highway 40 West, Brazil, Ind. George said, I come from a farm in Indiana somewhere between Brazil and Terre Haute.
