SENIORS JAMES PAUL GRUWELL 5 YEARS 415 6th Ave. , Tacoma, Wash. No one enjoyed campus life more than Jim did. He was here for five years, and he crowded into every hour all of the activities in which he could participate. As the result, he won unusual honors in academics, military work, athletics, publications, class affairs, and what have you? Only a look at his achievements can give an idea of his success here. He was an “eager beaver” for any task. Regarded as a hard worker and a swell fellow, Jim should go far in this world. DIEGO GEORGE HAASE 4 YEARS San Isidro, Espana 567, Buenos Aires, Argentina Diego was certainly one of the highest- spirited members of the class and a true gentleman. He was wont to have many big ideas in his head, but he pushed them out for newer and bigger ideas. Haase was very interesting for his command of different languages, especially German, Spanish, and English. He had much to tell about Argentina. Diego was probably most colorful on the soccer field, but he will always be remembered as one of the most colorful Seniors in all respects. JOSEPH THOMAS HAMILTON 1 1 2 YEARS 703 Oak St. . Mitchell, Ind. Here was a boy whom we were all glad to know. He made himself a worthy member of the class and joined the ranks of those who will be forgotten last. Hamilton was a happy character who did not let anything erase the omni- present smile which he always wore. All of his friends will wish for him many prosperous years after the Class of 1956 disbands. 28

am of 1056 ARTURO GONZALEZ 2 YEARS P. Mier 1186 Pte., Monterrey, N.L. , Mex. Arturo turned out to be one of the finest Mexican cadets that we have ever known. He accomplished much in his studies and in sports at Western. Besides being popular, he was a hard worker. He showed his prowess by playing an excellent game of golf on the W.M.A. team for two years. His classmates wish for him a continued pattern of success after he returns to Mexico. RICHARD GREBE 3 1 2 YEARS 4833 Oleatha, St. Louis, Mo. A fellow who has every right to look back upon his days at Western with pride is Dick Grebe, who has made a good all-round record here. Dick was always modest about dis- playing his many talents. He did not appear to study too hard, but he upheld high academic standards. Dick ' s class- mates know that when he ventures on his life career, he will be an even greater success. JAMES ALLEN GREESON, JR. 4 YEARS 2420 N. Taylor St., Little Rock, Ark. With ambition and singleness of purpose, Jim Greeson set out four years ago to seize the opportunities offered at Western. Known to be aggressive, he failed in nothing. He had a good deal of the friendliness and charm of the South. Jim ' s capacity for enjoying life made playing, working, and living with him a pleasure. Best wishes to a swell fellow. 27

mss of m THEODORE GEORGE HARSHA R.F.D. 2, Box 196a, Du Quoin, 111. 4 YEARS Traha (he won that appellation when Capt. Malone forgot his name) was widely known for his hog-calling techniques. Ted used the sterling qualities learned on the farm to become a fine athlete and a military leader. He was truly one of the pillars of the Senior Class. Because of his grace, Ted was chosen to be the band ' s baton twirler drummajor, thatis. Harsha will carry with him his desirable character traits wherever he goes in life. JOHN STUART HYLAND 21861 Cromwell Ave., Fairview Park 26, Ohio 2 YEARS Jack Hyland was one of the boys from Cleveland. Truly a fine lad, he attracted numerous friends in school and made himself known as a real pal. Jack worked hard enough to make the most of his years at Western, and all of his class- mates know that he will follow that same procedure to success after commencement. DAVID EDWARD JACKSON 7359 Overbrook Dr. , St. Louis 21, Mo. 3 YEARS It can be truly said that Dave Jackson made great progress during the time that he spent at Western. He attacked all of his duties seriously and was outstanding on the rifle team and Honor Guard. Dave also showed that he knew how to handle horses properly, and he was often down at the stables-- riding horses. No implications are intended in that last statement. Here ' s just a sincere wish for the best of fortune to a great fellow. 29 7 -
