Class History

Thl' Class of 192+ had its beginning in the fall of 19.zo. It was a s unn y September mornin g 11 hcn the fir s t four members of the c la ss stro ll ed on the ca mpu s. Pl'te !\.night had ll'ith him a marked Kcntucky acce nt. A ll within s ight and h ear in g knell' that the Cla ·s Hi s torian brought a ho rn which he lon ged to learn to play. \Vhile, though no one sa ll' it , we were s ur e that "Babe" Blair had a ba se ba ll g lo ve in his trnnk. E ve n before the train had pulled into How e, the writer h ad become \\'ell acquainted with Don Roger s' now well-known forensic ability, ha v in g been the recipient of an oration la st in g from I' endallville to Rome City ( G. & l. timl').

"

\ Villie" Stell'art had been in the sc ho o l since the previous year, but h e 11 as not yet a member of th e C lass of 12.j..

''Art" Harper arrived in Jammry , fresh from a position with Sears, Roebuck a nd Com pany , ready to tak e up the duti es of clerk in the more thriving busines s co nclu cted by the co nfectionery de partment of the Quartermaster department.

The fo llowin g year brought no permanent addition s to the Class, but the fall of 1922 \\'a s ve r y fruitful. J oh n Ely arriver!, disguised as Terre Haute's Best Dre sse d i\lan, and Laurie l\Jclntyre canw with hi s appetite, eating everything that wa s set before him ;\lld a few things that \\' crc n 't. Dean P. Stone \\'as talking when he came and 11'C hav<: yet to sec him stop. Dean's taste in literatur e ran tmrnrd radical publi ca tion s, and he became the so le owner and editor of BOZO'S (name co pyri g hted). "Prep" Price was another new comer of that ye·1r , to 11·hose abi li ty and pe rseve rance this hook is the best tribute that cou ld be g iven. Lyman Baker rolled i11 from Peoria 011 the same rattler that Stone arr ived on, "lhkc' s" nly asse t- o r li ab ilit y-a C-mc lody saxo phon e. "Bob" Fortier de serted Crand Rapids to come ;i nd spe nd hi , Junior and Senior years at H o 11 ·e 1 a nd , inciLlc ntally, to play a major part in How ·'s s port s.

Tn 1923 " \ Vi llic " Stewart made the nec essary c redit s to advance him se l f into the Senior Class, an acromplishmcnt for ll'hich he deserves much credit.

The 11L·oph) tc s thi s year were Jack Sidda ll and " .Jim" Leeds. ] t soo n developed that Siddall had poetir tendencie s , and , acco rdin g l y, blo ssomed forth as Class poet Ll'ed s pro ve d himsc li to he the " Hai1breadth Harrv" of the C l ass. Oft and manv a time were hi s fe llow t:i;i.s smates ca lled up on to him from an 1111timely end _:_ usually in the Pi geo n River.

This completes the Class of 192+, a group which we hope ha s made it s mark in the sc hool , and 1rhich \l 'e arc confide11t will make a mark in tLc "orld.

Class Prophecy

When a fellow begins to think he's getting old , his thoughts just naturally turn to his schoo l days , hi s old chums, and th e good times he had when he was at "prep" sc hool. I was only at Howe two years, but in that time I came to know my classmates pretty well, to know their secret hopes and ambitions, and one day in the spring, or rather summer, of J 944 I gathered myself together and caught a train for that sleepy little vi lla ge in northern Indiana that harbors Howe. On the way I got to thinking of the things the fellows had wanted to be. I remembered tnat "Art" Harper had wanted to be head bookkeeper for Sears , Roebuck and Company; that Dean Ston e had cherished railroad ambitions; that Lyman Baker had visions of comma nding West Point; that "Pete" Knight had al ways wanted to be a Pierce-Arrow sa l esman in Columbus , Ohio; that "Jim" Leeds aspired to the elevated position of a Sunday School superi nt endent; that " Bob" Fortier dr eam pt of eclipsing the glory that was Valentino's in those day s; that "Willie" Stewart had hoped to fill the ed itorial chair of "The World's: Greatest Newspaper"; that " Babe" Blair cou ld see himself turning out epoch-making teams at Yale; that "Don" Rogers l ea n ed toward a career on the stage; that "Fritz" Carroll wished himself owner and editor of the Marshall ( Illinoi s) Daily Bugle; that Lauri e Mcint y re cherished the fond ambition of becoming Publicit y Agent for Lila Lee; that Jack Siddall cou ld see him self as a steamboat captain on the Ohio Riv e r; that "Prep" Price yearned to rid Wisconsin of crooked politicians, and become a se nator; a ll the se I ca ll ed to mind, and I then determined to find out how they were doing when I arrived at Howe.

It was Commenceme nt time at Howe when I finally arrived ther e, and, after seei n g to some sixty-odd newly made Alumni , l set out to satisfy my curiosities. I found Lyman Baker and "Pebble" Stone talking wit h "Alabaster" L ee d s, and I joined them. Stone told me that he had been for some time Consulting Engineer for the U nit ed Gov e rnmental Railways of America, and was soon to be Vice-President. Baker informed me that he was then running a military school in New York State , and that h e had seen the race in w hi c h "Payne's Gal'', that wonder horse

44

from th e s tabl es of "Pete" Knight, had won the c up for Am e rica. I question e d Leeds, and found that h e h a d rec entl y been made Re c tor of one of Chicago 's finest chur ch es H e told me that he had read in a magazin e that our old friend "Bob" Fortier had r ece ntl y sig ned a million dollar contract to appear in three "First Nationa l " pictures, and that th e sa me article rumor ed that "Don" Rogers would direct th e films. It thrill e d m e to think that h e re were my old fri e nds in th e nation 's lim e light and m a king nam es for th em selve s and showering glory upon our class. Bak er fo und a r ece nt Eastern pap er, and we r ea d of th e great work John Bl ai r had don e a t Y a le a nd of th e team s h e ex pe ct ed to turn out in th e n ex t fall. We wandered about th e ca mpu s, now e nl a r ge d to two hundr e d acres, away across tn e old Sturgis road, and gazed in awe at th e new (to us) building s, and learned more of our friends of 1924. vVe found that J ack Siddall now the editor of o n e of th e n a tion a l weeklies, and had been offered the post of Ambassador to Great Britain. Prescott Pri ce was pr es idert of th e University of Wisconsin , a·nd had been proposed for gove rnor ," we were told by Laurie Mcintyre, who also volunteered th e information that h e him se lf was the Editor, as well as th e owner of "Movie Mad1'less", the most popular magazine of- the screen. He told of a call fronr "W illi e'.' Stewart a few weeks pa s t. "Mac" was ve r y enthusiastic about " Hi stor y o.f th e World " in seve nt y- three volumes. We all d ec ided to get a few se t s. As we we r e sitting in front of the s pl e ndid t) ew Administmtion Building, H arper came up and invited u s all over to his hom e for dinner. He told us that h e was running the bu sin ess end of th e sc hool , and that there w e re seve n h undred and ninety boys e nrolled for the next yea r. It was he who told u s that word ha d ju s t been received that th e Battalion would go to Washington that fall to participate in the big D ay parad e. It was by reque s t of th e Pre sid e nt th at this wou ld take place, a nd th e reason w as that Howe had be e n pla ced at th e h ead of th e li s t of honor sc hools for the year 1944. We enjoyed a fin e evening at Harp e r 's ho me and vo t ed t o give th e sc hool a big recreation hou se.

When I lef t Howe the following da y it was with a sense of pride Ill that old class in w hi ch I had g r ad ua ted. All of th em see med to be doing wonderful work in the wo rld , a nd n o one of us had ye t see n the insid e of Sing Sin g. Take us any way you like, we w e re certai nl y a cre dit - to th e sc hool , and we h ad turned out pr etty well. And that's th a t.

COACHING STA Fr 52

Our Coaches

J\Ir. Leo D. Hershberger is ou r Physical Director , but he also serves in the capacity of a coach. In past years he ha s been the coach of the Varsity Baske tball a nd Track Teams, but this year h e had hi s hand s full without tho se duties. However he bu s ied himself in his spare time by coachi n g the l\1 id get Teams , and he also refereed many of the co nt ests bi.:twcrn the clubs.

Mr. Fred W. Bowdidge came to How e in the fa ll o( 1923 as a teacher of Englis h and Arithmetir in the low e r forms. 13ut h e a lso ca m e to help the Holl'e ll'aniors on the field of combat. He was very promin e nt as H cad Footba ll Coac h , and h e taught the Gym cla sses many st unt s. T h e Varsity Baseball Team is th riving under his guida n ce as this book goes to press.

l\1ajor James Schaeffer l\1erritt came into the lim e li g ht as Head Basketball Coac h. H e h as acted as Assistant Coach for severa l yea rs, hut this year" he was in hi\ l comma nd. He s howed that h e knew a lot ab011t basketba ll as well as about the military end of the work in the sc hool. I-:le turn ed out a ve r y fa s t team, and a team which 1rns a credit to him se l f as well as to the sc hool.

Mr. Clifford K. Lahman is the c hief mentor of the Track Team. He ha s had quite a bit of expe rien ce on the ci nder 11ath him self, and s hould turn out an exce ptionally good Track Team. We hop e that so m e of 01 1r fellows rnay do as well as hi.: ha s done on the track. Ask him to s ho1v you hi s m eda ls.

T h e Reverend Ear l Thomas .J cnnings ha s coached not only the Loll'cr but also the Dwig;ht C lub in past years, but thi s yea r h e ha s coac h ed only the Lower School teams. He is a very strategic coac h, depending almost e ntirely upon head \\·ork to win the games. This ma y then account for the fact that he ha s turned out champio ns hip tem11s almost every year.

1\1r . J ea n A. Lambert ha s coached the 1\1:cKenzic Club for two yea rs, and ha s turnC'd out some good teams. The ba se ba ll team la st year took second place, after making a stro n g bid for the c hampion s hip. This year they should take the c hampi o ns hip. Mr. Lambert's bi g sport is basketball. He enjoys that sport more than any other, and perhaps that is why he turned out a c hampion s hip team this yea r.

Ca ptain Otho Ling came to Howe from 1\1organ Park Militnry Academy. 1-l c was detailed to be the head coach for the Blake Club. He had quite ;1 reputation as a foot ball coach before h e came to Holl'e, an d under hi s able direction the Blake Foot ball Team won the championship.

a ptain August Iver Davis \\'a s a cadet of Holl'e School last year. He proved his ability in all spo rt s by making the Vnrsity Football and Basketball Teams last yea r , and the Track and Base ball Teams the year before. As h e was ii Dwight, it was only natural that h e s hould coac h the Dw ight llub this year He is one of the most pop ul ar coache s with thP fellows and perhaps that ha s helped him to turn 011t exceptiona ll y good teams.

Ju st ten years after A lph a De l ta Tau had been i n troduced at Howe School, a pr ej udi ce aga in s t Crrek letter fraternities arose. 1n 1916 A lph a Delta Tau was dis co ntinued as a n atio n al fraternity, a nd Cu m Laude \\'as adopted in p l ace of A lpha Delta Tau. T h e fo rm e r \\'as di sco n ti nu ed in practically a ll sc h oo ls, but Hom; wa s one of th e fc\\' sc h oo ls which rdained it as a l ocal fraternity.

The prin c ipl es of C 11111 Laude are 1cery different from tho se of A lph a Delta Tau. To become a nwmber of Alp h a Delta Tau, a student m11 st be either a Junior or a Se ni o r who h as 111adc goo d marks i n his s tudie s and 11 •h o is of good c haracter.

A truly ed ucate d man occupies a uniqu e pos 1tt011 in society. His co ndu ct is reflected in all cir cles in which he m oves. H e not o nl y looks after hi s Oll' n intere sts but afte r tho se of hi s fellow s in su ch a m ann e r as is beco min g a man of int e lli gence and hi gh moral standard s. T he ideals of s uch a man a r e nobl e, to s pr ea d n ob len ess t h rough all co n ditio ns of li fe. \ V h ercve r s u ·h a man li ves amo n g t h e un e du ca ted , he s pread s knowledge, by co n ve rsatio n a nd by frank, friendly intercour se . He is t he type of man that en co ura ges phy s ica l , intcll ect 11 ;1l, a nd m ora l educat io n , and pare n ts arc in c lined to believe him fo r there is something in hi s vo ice t h at ri n gs true.

There is a story that :Mic ha e l Angelo, while walking with so me fri ends t h rough a n obscu re street in the city of F lore nce, not ice d a bl ock of fi n e marble l yi n g n egle c ted in the g utter and hal f buried in so il a nd rubbi s h. \Vit hout r egard for his h oliday atti re, he at once began cl ea rin g a 11 ay the dirt and s trivin g to li ft it from the mir e in whi c h it l ay Hi s compa nion s, i11 astonishm e n t, asked him w h at he was doing and what h e wanted 11 ith t h at dis ca rd ed bl ock of sto ne.

"T here is an angel in that blo ck of ma rbl e," was hi s rep ly. " I mu st se t it free."

ll e had it remo ve d to hi s studio, and by patient toil with mallet a n d c hi se l , he trn 11 sfo rmcd it in to an a n ge l form of s uch beauty that men m ar ,,e ll ecl at the throu g h t that he co uld creat e a co nception so divine.

'Vhat to ot hers was but a rude, un sig htl y ma ss of sto n e, to hi s educated eye repre se nt ed the buri ed potentialit y of a rt. A mason wou ld h ave p•:t the b lock into a wall; a lab o rer wo uld h ave use d it fo r a c11rhsto n c; but h e c r ea ted from it a work of ge niu s a nd ga vc i t a va lu e t h at \\"Oul d end me for ages. \Vhy?

T h e ave nu es of t he apprec iat ion of art, m11sic, and literature that an e ducation ope ns to its posse sso r is a lm ost unlimited, and the finer thin gs of l ife are not so apt to be lost sig ht of in the mad ru sh for busine ss s up remacy.

Whether we w ill it or no, a ll of us a re int ense l)' int e re s ted in educat ion. Po r ter, in hi s essay "T h e J-l u m nn I n tc ll ect'', states: "Those w h o i11fl 11ence the ch ai·actcr and co nduct of their fe ll ow men by pub li c disco ur se or in private conversation , by t he pe rs uas ion of words o r th e magic power of l ook or gesture, those who se duce to evil, or win to goo d , are, in th e approprinte se nse of the word, educators."

Many have the id ea t h at w he n one is th roug h co ll ege then his education is fini s h ed . T hi s is a decide dl y err o neous id ea a nd s h ould be e r adi ca ted from the

120

of those w.ho aspire to wisdom. The degree received in the univer sity s1g n1h es the ab ili ty of the rec1p1e11t to conti 11 ue hi s stud ies without t h e aid of an instructor.

Environment is n ecessary for chara cter building in the educated man. A hum a n li fe may be co mpar e d to a t ree l n o rd er to li ve it mu st h ave moisture heat, and a certai n kind of soi l. So it is with the human family. ln order to to our fu ll est h e ig ht s, we m11 st h ave the proper e n v ironm en t. If we di cl not complain that we were the victims of cir cumstances, but would imagine that we created our own circ um sta n ces, it wou ld h elp us grcM l y. From t h e same bri cks a nd sto ne s one man erects a pa l ace, ll'hile another, a ho, c l. They both had the same bui lding materia l , but what a co ntr ast in t he two buildi n gs! l\lany times in the sa me fam il y and in the same ci r cumstanrl'S one man e rt'rts a st ru cture, while his brothe1:, weak a n cl vac illatin g, e ists ete rnally a nd am id squalid 11-r etc h cdncss. T he very sto n e that was a n obstac le a n d stumb l ing block in a weak man's grasp proves to be a stepp i11 g sto n e to success i11 a 11otlwr h a nd s who is l ess inlluen cccl anrl lt" ss easi l y led.

T h ere is a leaders hip in an ed ucated man; however, the co 11 ccptio 11 t h at educated men s h ould lead is by n o means a n e\\' 011 e. The a n cient Greeks a11d Roman l ooked upon their educated men as leade rs in times of peril. We h ea r Demosthenes rousing the patr iotic sp irit s of hi s fe ll ow cit ize ns to rail against the in sidiou s a11d crafty Phi l ip of l\1acedon. \Ve hear Cicero hurlin g bitter i111-cctive upon the treac h erous ati l i n e, a nd Paul leadin g the ot h e r apost les in t he work of rva n ge lization. Je s us of Naza r et h , the 11 isest of a ll teachers, ca ll ed the atte n tio n of t he mu l titude to the fact that know le d ge is one of the fi r st r equi site s of a goo d lea der.

Of course, ll'he11 we speak of an educated man we 11se ed ucation in ;1 fu ll se nse of t h e word. This man s h ould be trai n ed physica ll y, int e ll ect u a ll y, and mora ll y; moreover, he hould have the ad\'antage of a religious train ing There ha s ne ver bee n a t im e 11·hen re li g ious educatio n was ne ede d mor e in t hi s c:ou 11 try t h an toda y.

The 111ind is a wonderful 111achi 11 e and 111ust be cu lti1 ·ated and care d fo r the sa 111 c as a 11 y de li cate 111 cc ha11i s111. One of Holl' e's most eminent ma ste rs once sa id that the brain remi nd ed him of a lwaver's tooth, as ther both became sha rp er wit h

Fi11ally, the educated 111an 11111st h ave a fu ll share of co111mo 11 se nse . In other words , he h o uld know ho11 , and when, a11d ll'herc, hl' ca 11 mo st 11 isdy, acceptab l y, and eflicie ntl y impart the dC'sired i11H11encc.

However hard 11 ·c try, no words, adequate or romp r eh c11si ve, ca n exp ress our understandi n g of Educatio n. \Ve ca n hut rl'pl'at the words of Tennyson:
