Foreword

In the belief that this year's edition of The T atler shows one year's progress in the life of the School and in the life of {he student body, we, the class of 1926, have endeavored through the medium of this publication to portray Prep School life as it is at Howe School. If in after years this book will recall pleasant memories to the minds of the readers, we will feel that our efforts have not been in vain.

"CAPPIE" will always be remembered as a "good fellow well met". He was athletically inclined and his specialty was football although he was no slouch at basketball. He was out of ath l etics hi s last year because of his physician's advice and we certainly did miss him. We wish you success in whatever you attempt "Cappie".

"ED" was by far the most popular member of the class. He finished his fourth year with a whirlwind' of success. As president of the Senior C lass, Cadet Captain, scho l ar, athlete and gentleman he established a standard which future seniors will find h ard to liv e up to. We do not doubt that "Ed" will best ride the narrow world lik e a Colossus and will romp over life's rugged path to success. Goodbye ,,E d ", goodbye and Good Luck. Goodbye "Ed

"B ILL " was one of the oldest members of the Class and we ca n justly say Lhat he added a great deal to the prestige of the C l ass of '25. He was not seen in the Upper Schoo l very much as he had the responsib l e position of Tact ica l Officer of the Lower School and needless to say he filled hi s position very we ll indeed. He was a mainstay on both the Foolba ll a nd Baseball teams and it will be a l o n g time before hi s name is forgotten by Howe Schoo l students w h o have see n him in action. We know t h at yo u wi ll cont in ue on in li fe as you h ave here and wi ll come out on top

"HANK" came to us as a day student and as suc h depreived us of full opportunity to get as well acqua inled as we should h ave liked . The associalion during class and drill period however was a pleasant o n e and we are gl ad to count him as a member of the Class of 19 26.

"M ILT" was a lad who was a l wavs seen about the Upper School and who a lways ta lking about his home town "Cinnci" or e lse Baseball. He was a good baseball p l ayer and made the Varsity Baseball squad in '25 and '26. He also was active in C lu b Athletics both of hi s years here. We feel that "Milt" will s ucceed in his line o f work which is Pharmacy.

"MOLT" was a man who no matter what he attempted he gave hi s a ll. He was one of the harde st fighters on the Basketball Squad. He rose in his two years here to the position of Sergeant of Company "B" and also was made a member of the Alpha Delta Tau the Honor Society of the School.

"TED" will be remembered as one of the most ver sa tile men in the Cla ss During a ll ath leti cs he was in the thick of it a ll a nd it will be a lon g time before "T h e Flying Dutchman" is forgotten on the cinder path. As a Cadet Captain he contributed much to the military work of the School. It was only under his di rec lion as Editor-in -C hief thal Lhe "Tat ler" was made the success it is. He was fitted for t he position as he had been Editor of "The Howe Herald" in '24 and part of '25. Because of his jovial personality "Ted" will never l uck friends and with his friends will a lw ays go success.

"FRU IT " is the boy upon whom the ent ir e Upper Schoo l depended. Yes he was Bugler for the Upper and he filled his position very creditably. In his Senior year he helped the Athletic Editor of the "Tatler" lo a great extent. He was active in Club ath let ics and was Student Manager for the Baseball squad and was very faithful in performing his duties. We will a ll miss him and we wish him a s ucce ss ful career.

He was a "new man" this last year but there is not anybody in the C l ass who does not want him for a friend. He made a name for himself on the Rifle Te3.m and shot a mong Lhe top men.

It will be a long time before another man as interested in military work will be found. He was a well liked member of the Class and by no means lacked friends.

Class Prophecy

Memorandum - July 18, 1946.

Stockholders' meeting of the Hughes and Oliver Chewing Gum Manufacturers; 12 :30 o'clock; Chamber of Commerce , Chicago, Ill.

The meeting was to be held at twelve thirty o'clock which meant that I only had one hour and a half to reach Chicago. My aeroplane was called immediately and in five minutes I was on my way to Chicago. I would arrive in time for the meeting because Ft. Wayne was only one hundred and forty miles from Chicago, a little over an hour's ride in my Spad.

I arrived at the Chamber of Commerce in due time. Just before calling the meeting to order I glanced over the group of men who were in the room, but was unable to recognize anyone I knew, because of their ability to chew gum. After the meeting had been called to order the jaws of the worthy men in front of me ceased to move up and down in that monotonous way acquired by gum-chewers and I recognized a few faces in that crowd before me. They were none other than Messrs. Houk Burgess, Lammert, and Niven, all members of the graduating class of nineteen twenty-six, or in other words my former classmates. This coincidence naturally made me impatient, because I hoped that they would be able to tell me something about the other members of the class of whom I had lost all trace of since my school days.

After two and one half hours of session the meeting was adjourned. quickly made my way to the sides of my old classmates. Nothing was more exciting than that meeting, everyone talking at once, asking about other members of the class. Soon they told me how successful they were and also how happy they were and I gave them a brief resume of things that h ad happened after I had left school.

Lammert said that he had followed in his father's footsteps and at the present time was sole owner of a chain of drug stores in the city of Cincinnati which were the talk of the town because of their size and courtesy shown their customers.

Houk then told me that he was in the real estate business out West, and that he had begun to think seriously of retiring for a year or two and leave his business in the hands of his partner and take a trip around the world in his yacht so I took it that he was fairly prosperous.

"Dave" Burgess then explained that he had gone into the radio game and at the present time had taken out twenty patents on different things which h e lped to better the radio. He said that he had opened a large factory at Detroit and was putting out the Burgess Radios.

Last of all Niven told me that he was sport editor of the Western News Company and that he had been very successful since he had left Howe. I always knew that "Nivie" would succeed.

Niven asked me if I had heard from Spaulding or Fraleigh. I told him that I had not. He told me that Spaulding had gained quite a name for himself as a surgeon in Michigan. He then said that Fraleigh had succeeded as a business man and was the owner of the largest cold storage plant in the United States.

"Milt" Lammert then told me that George Cohn was doing fine in Louisville, and that he was owner of more than eight clothing stores and was thinking seriously of opening one in New York. "Milt" also mentioned that David Davis had finally reached the pinnacle in the dental profession in the western part of the United States. Doubt had been in the minds of many of the members of the class as to what Dave would do and even in his own. I was certainly glad to hear that he had succeeded.

"Molt" Houk informed me that he had run into "Eddie" Capouch down South and that he was interested in real estate and was making good. That was also good news because we (the class of 1926) never h ea rd "Eddie" say what he intended to do after he had left school.

They asked me if I had heard anythin_g from "Ed'.' Glass. I told them that "Ed" was president of a large manufacturing concern m Cleyeland and belonged to various of the best clubs and owned the finest yacht m Cleveland Yacht Club and was incid e ntally Commodore of the Club.

"Dave" asked me if I h a d heard about Asa Stedman, I told him that I had not but expected that h e was playing in some orchestra by this time if he did not have one of his own.

"No," replied Dave, "h e is known as an Efficiency Expert and is reputed as one of the best in the United States."

I asked them if they had heard anything from "Bert" Smith and Everett L e mon.

Houk replied that "Bert" Smith had r ealized his ambition at last and is in the forestry business out in Washington near Seattle and that he was making a great success out of it . I knew that whatever he did he would make a success of it he was just that type of fellow

Burgess said that Lemon was in Richmond, Indiana, at the h ea d of a fair sized bank and was one of the most important figures in the town where he had lived since childhood. Burgess also told us that "Bill" Gregg was a well known and very prosperous steel magnate who had accomplished a g r ea t deal since he had left school.

I asked them if they had heard of Hendricks, they had not s o I told them that he was a very busy man nowadays taking care of his five stores in the vicinity of Howe.

Sudd e nly "Nivie" interrupted our conversation and announced that he had a very important engagement in Milwaukee and had to l eave and as I had to get back to Ft.Wayne , we bid each other farewell and I left for home I had covered about half the distance and was directly over Camp P e rshing ( named after a general in the WORLD WAR ) when my motor coughed and died. I managed to land on the parade ground. Almost at once my ship was surrounded by soldiers and I was escorted into the office of the commander. Aft e r waiting several minutes the orderly came out and told me to follow him. This I did and was led into the inner office There I saw two men seated at a desk conversing in low tones As soon as they perceived me they rose and I introduced myself to the officer who came toward me as th e other h ear d my name he turned about and whom should it be but my old classmat e Carl Zumstein , no longer Carl because he bore th e insignia of a Major on his shoulder straps. He introduced me to the Commander of the camp and then I told them how it happened that I was there. The commander told me that he would have my plane taken to the hangar which was on the grounds and would have the mechanic fix it. I thanked him and then Carl took me over to his quart ers and introduced me to his wife. Then we went into his library and s ea ted ourselves in comfortable chairs and I related to him the past four hours telling him all about the meeting the fellows mentioned b e fore. Then when I had finished I asked Carl to tell me all that had happened since he left school and he began.

"I left coll ege and at once entered upon my long looked for military life. l entered the Engineer Corps and was detailed with a group of officers to tour South America , after receiving my commission which I had worked hard indeed to get. Whil e walking into one of the exclusive mens clubs of Buenos Aires I ran into a well dressed civilian who should it be but Ted Mau. He took me into dinner at the club and it was during dinner that I found out about

several other members of the class. By the way "Ted" is the most renowned dentist in South America and has several offices in the larger cities under his personal direction but handled by younger men from the states. You always knew him to be a fellow who would succeed in obtaining what he desired. In slang, he was a "Go Getter." After a very enjoyable evening 1 left him and the next day I left town and returned to the States. On board whom should I meet but "Mike" Sperekas. He told me that he was a civil engineer and was also coming home after completing a contract down in Rio di Janerio. He told me he was doing a good business and had an office in New York, he also mentioned that Metos was in the real estate business and doing fairly well. Oh! I almost forgot - I saw Herby Worth in New York after I landed and he is a lawyer as we all expected he would be. By the way "Eddie" what are you doing now?"

I told him that I was a broker and that I had offices in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Ft : Wayne. Then glancing at my watch I discovered that I must leave for home. Carl called up the hangar and was informed that my plane was ready so we walked out to the place where my plane was waiting and I bid him a reluctant farewell but promised to drop in again real soon and waving farewell opened my throttle and was soon home. Thus ended one of the most eventful days of my life and I was indeed gratified to learn that the Class of '26 turned out to be the success that it was.

By Edward Seidel.

Class History

Reflecting back ov e r th e years at Howe, we remember that with each ensuing year, the Senior C l ass has proclaimed itself the BEST that the School has ever produced. This. of course, is as it should be, because the School has advanced great l y this year. With all this in mind , we can safely make the statement, that the C l ass of '26 is the CREA TEST that ever graduated from Howe School.

First in line is David Davis. While he is not one of the "shining lights" of the Senior Class, yet, he is nobody's fool when it comes to being in on things. The same year brought Eddie Seidel of Fort Wayne , who has proved that " hi s" home town is the Capito l of the World when it comes to producing "sofa slaves" of the better type. Next in lin e came "Herb" Worth, who by his gift of speech soon won his way to the front of his class.

The following year seemed to bring people of unusual military ability. When "Zummie" Zumstein stepped off the train, he was dragging a cannon, and has continued his "dragging ways" for four years. Mau also proved to be Officer material, and rose to captain his senior year. Glass , the ranking officer of the School. arrived with a blast, and has not lost any of his capacity for "broadcasting".

Char l ey Metos and Mike Sperekas were the next arrivals, and have been inseparable "doves" ever since. Charlie's ath l etic ability is exceeded only by his power in expanding on the merits of Chicago. Mike has covered himself with g lor y on the ath letic field in every sport. We wi ll all remember him as a wonderful friend. Our gun-toting friend, Capouch, hails from the world famous metropolis of Cicero. While he isn't the most handsome gun-toter on the campus, he is sometimes thought to be the most dangerous. Stedman, Howe School's most exalted Cheer Leader, is considered quite the dancer, except when his "peg leg" bothers him.

Next in order, we have the gang that came in 1924. Everett Lemon, more commonly known as "Fruit", always excelled in scho la stics. He is considered quite a "kidder". Lammert was very meek and docile the day of his arrival, but has long since forgotten the memory of the word "silence". He has an unlimited capacity for cinnamon toast "a la hospital." Dave Burgess came from the big town of Galesburg, Michigan. He always lik ed to get his lessons over the radio. Moulton Houk has been very active and valuable to the School in athletics throughout his two years with us. George Spau ldin g a l so annexed his person to our roll at this time. His gift for imitating anima l s and different musical instruments has been the source of much entertainment.

Now, we have the Seniors who started in '25! Of course, they really aren't supposed to count, but the pl e bes must be given some notice. Georgie Cohn, the "Flower of the South" , is our esteemed "post grad" and has gained hi s knowledge through his abi lit y to ask que s tions. If you ask him any, he will tell you that "you do not und e r s tand the situation". James Niven wi ll always be remembered for his wit and winning smile. If ever you are in doubt, ask Nivie, he knows. Jack Fraleigh was always telling us about the "backwoods of Michigan". Quoting Elbert Hubbard - (A lb e rt ) Smith has not a common name in Howe School. but a very frequent one. Walter Hendricks is considered the "elite" of th e C l ass, because he enjoys the privilege of coming from the Village of Howe.

Speaking for myself, I believe the honor of being Class Historian is given to me, because I am the only member of the C la ss to start and finish the Lower School. My regime at Howe covers a period of seven years, the past two having been spent as Assistant Tactical Officer of the Lower School.

St. Vincent's Guild

One of the highest honors a cadet can earn is membership in St. Vincent's Guild. The guild is made up of the servers and acolytes in the Episcopal Church. To the members of this guild is intrusted the privilege of carrying of the crosses, candles, incense burner, National colors, attend the priest, bishop and choir in the chapel and during the public functions when the officers and faculty assemble in the procession. The members of this guild also serve at the altar and take great care of the sacred vessels of the chapel. Three crucifers and four acolytes serve each Sunday, while the rest take turns serving at the early Mass for a week at a time. On the great festival days of the occasion of the official visit of the Bishop, the number is greatly increased.

St. Vincent's Guild was organized twenty years ago. For all of this time it has been officially associated with the National Guild of St. Vincent. This year Robert Gill, who is head server, has trained cadets to serve at the altar and has given much of his time in lighting and extinguishing the candles besides keeping them clean.

The following cadets are members of the Guild:

Robert A Gill, Head Acolyte

Carl Zumstein, Choir Crucifer

James Carlton, Color Bearer

Edward Dodds, Clergy Crucifer

The Choir

Mr. William Hagan, choir mast e r and organist of St. James C hapel and a m e mber of the American Guild of Organists, has a thorough musical education. He has studied under the famous Olga Steeb of the University of Southe rn Ca liforni a. Mr. Hagan teaches piano, organ, voice and theory.

On the first Sunday of each month he gives a "Candle Light Musicale" and is usually assisted by Mrs Young, Mrs. Jon es, or choir members. These are attended voluntarily by the cadets, faculty, and visitors who desire to become better acquainted with the higher classics.

Choir rehearsals are held daily at the Lower School and every Wednesday and Saturday for the entire choir. The simp l e communion song ser.vice is used so that the whole school may take part. The year l y cantata "O liv et to Calvary" was given a sp l endid rendition assisted by Donald Monteith, baritone. Mr. Monteith is we ll known in the Detroit musica l circles. The choir also helps in the funeral services at the Chapel.

Homer Stedman, tenor , who has had charge of the choir formations and chapel lights, will be great l y missed next year.

Captain Ling and the schoo l orchestra, und e r his direction, assist Mr. Hagan with the services. Neal and Martin Baldwin have p l ayed some excellent 'cello and violin solos that are greatly appreciated.

Stratis Sperekas, Captain and the quarterback of our team was the hard est fighting man that represented us on the gridiron. It was through hi s cool h eadwork that the team was so successf ul in their season. Through his great work on the secondary defense the team was saved from defeat many times.

The lack of practice was very noticeable, and that and a number of fumbles and penalties were the main reasons for the low score.

During the first half of the game, the ball was kept in play in the middle of the field. On four different occasions, however, when it was within White Pigeon's five yard line, it was either lost on a fumble or a penalty.

In the second half the entire second team took the field for Howe and held the White Pigeon aggregation scoreless. Then in the last quarter they were replaced by the regulars who carried the pigskin down the field for a t ouch down.

Our cadets played a hard , smashing game and deserve a lot of credit

HOWE 18 - CASSOPOLIS 0

Howe defeated Cassopolis in the second game of the season by the score of 18 to 0. The team elected to receive, and Metz ran the kick-off back 20 yards. Cassopolis got the ball on a fumble but were immediately forced to punt. After a few plays Metz tried a field goal but failed to get the ball between the posts. Gill recovered the ball on a furn ble to run 15 yards for a touchdown . The team tried to work a pass for the extra point but failed. The quarter ended with the team fighting hard. Howe was exceeding l y over anxious and was penalized first for holding and then for olf sides. Cassopolis constantly gained on plunges off guard and tackle. After severa l fumbles were made by both sides, the half ended.

In the second half Howe kicked off and was immediately penalized for holding. A feature of the third quarter was Sperekas' run of 20 yards by a trick play. After three more plays the ball again was given to Sperekas, who carried it across the goal line. The point after touchdown was not made. In the last quarter Coach Millis sent in the second team After a series of fumbles and penalties Nichols recovered one of Cassopolis' fumbles and ran 15 yards for a touchdown The team failed in the try for the extra point. After a few more plays the whistle blew and the game was ended. The evening before the Cassopolis game "Mike" Sperekas was elected captain of the football team.

ELKHART 30 - HOWE 0

In our third game, the cadet team, fighting as they never have, went down before the mighty Elkhart team 30-0. Elkhart outweighed us by more than 30 pounds to the man, but never did the team play with such grit and spirit. Every member of the team was a hero, but the playing of Gregg , Mau, Carlton and Siedel was really spectacular. In the first few minutes of play, Elkhart scored a drop kick from the thirty yard line. Following many line plunges the oval went over Howe 's last white line for the first touchdown. They made the extra point and th e qu a rter en d e d I 0 -0. The second quarter was almost scoreless. How e's outweigh e d lin e was slowly being hit for five and ten yard gains until another touchdown and ex tra point was chalked up. In two minutes the whistle blew ending the half

How e came back strong in the third quarter and held their opponents scoreless. Howe tri e d an aerial game and Seide l completed several long passes. It was while rece iv ing a pass that Ted Mau was s'ashed in the face and put out of the game. In the last quarter Elkhart came back stronger than ever and although our boys fought desperately they were unable to halt the sweeping onslaught. Time after time , plunges through the line to 15 8:nd 20 yards and Elkhart made 13 more points before the wh1stle blew closing the game and leaving 30-0 as the final score.

HOWE 7- STURGIS 13

Our next game was with our old rivals , Sturgis. Accompanied by a small group of cadets, the maroon and white aggregation was defeated on and sloppy field by lon e touchdown The first half was full of Sturgis end runs with which they succeeded in making a touchdown. They failed to run the ball over the goal-line for their extra point, however. Howe was easily able to hold Sturgis for downs but failed to have the "plus" which was n ee ded for a touchdown Fulton's ability to break up the Sturgis plays was very noticeabl e. It was very evident from the beginning that Gill's presence was missed.

The sec ond half began with both teams eager to score but Sturgis was constantly throwing our boys off their balance by a fast.cries of trick plays. The ball was given to Gregg who had been sent in for Burgess , and he carried it around th Sturgis l eft end and tapped it on the ground b e hind the last chalk line Metz made a beautiful kick for the extra point. Enthused by this and full of spirit the team kicked off to Sturgis who ran it back thirty five yards. After the next play they fumbled and Capouch, left half, who was sent in for Gregg, pounced on the pigskin and was running for a certain touchdown , but he received no interference at all and so was downed after a splendid run. In a few seconds the whistle blew and the game went to Sturgis 13-7.

HOWE 0 - KENDALLVILLE 7

On Founders Day we played Kendallville, the same team that beat us last year by the score of 26-0. It was an excellent day and throngs crowded the field. Our boys fought br avely during the entire game but they were outclassed in weight and experience by the Kendallvillagers; the result of their superiority being 7-0.

In the first quarter Howe tried a series of trick plays which proved ineffective. After a series of punts the ball went to K e ndallville on Howe's thirty five yard lin e . They attempted a drop kick which was unsuccessful. Metz, who had been playing a splendid game at full , was removed on account of an injury he received in the knee. Whitney who was sent in for Metz kicked the oval to Jones, Kendallville's 200 pound fullback , who plunged through Howe's line and ran 40 yards before being s topped by Howe's plucky little end, Seidel. Again the visitors tried a drop kick but it went over the goal and was Howe 's ball on th eir own twenty yard line. Whitney punted to his own forty yard line. Coach Millis then sent Gregg in for Burgess and Howden for Glass. This did not stop Kendallville's back from plunging through the line to make the sing l e tally, however. A successful drop kick was made for the extra point.

The third quarter was unusually drawn out with a rapid succession of punts. At the beginning of the last quarter it was Howe's ball on her thirty yard lin e. Cap't. Sperekas ran thirty yards on a trick play When Howe could not gain any more Gregg punted to Kendallville's forty yard line. Mau, the fastest man on the team , was sent in for Sperekas. The final whjstle blew with the ball in Kendallville's possession on their 45 yard lin e. The game ended Kendallville 7- Howe 0 .

HOWE 0 - FT. WAYNE C. C. 6

Our eleven met the Ft. Wayne C. C. team on our grounds in a drizzling rain and on sloppy footing.

Ft. Wayne elected to kick and Howe carried the oval well towards the opponents goal. Howe's splendid progress was checked several times by penalties however, and they were forced to punt. After a series of punts and passes ' Howe had the ball on their own fifteen yard line. Our punt was returned to mid-field. Ft. Wayne passed to our two yard lin e. Our strong line strengthened by Glass and Metos, who were fighting like demons, was forced to give after two plays and the ball wa? put over the line. Ft. Wayne failed to kick goal and the score was 6-0 their favor. The half ended with the pigskin on our twenty five yard line.

Fifty-eight

In second half Coach Mills made severa l substitutions, Lett for Class, and Nichols replaced Chaffee. Both teams were fighting hard but no one seemed ab l e to score in the third quarter At this time Mau was sent in for Nichols and Capouch replaced Burgess at half.

In the l ast quarter ,a fter unsuccessful passes Ft. Wayne finally completed one on Howe s ten yard line. Ft Wayne was penalized five yards t their play brought them on Howe's eight yard line. Here, again our 1ine showed its supremacy and we held them for downs. Howe punted but the whist l e blew before Ft. Wayne could run the ball back, ending a very close game. The final score remained 6-0 in the favor of the Ft. Wayne C. C. lads.

The visiting team were the guests of the schoo l, staying for chapel and dinner. We hope to see them back again in the near future to play us in some other sport.

HOWE 13 - VICKSBURG 13

Howe invaded Vicksburg for th e seve nth game . The outstanding featur e of the game was Carlton's run, in the second quarter, for a touchdown which seemed to reinforce the team and g iv e the players more spirit.

Vicksburg made their first touchdown in the first quarter. They completed a long pass to Howe's ten yard line and then carried the ball over. They succeeded in their try for point. Another touchdown followed in severa l minutes by the comp l etion of another lon g pass They failed in the kick for point, how eve r. Vicksburg then kicked to Howe who lost the ball after several plays. Here the best break of the game occurred. Vicksburg attempted another pass. Chaffee tackled the passer just as he was to throw. Instead of the ball going forward it went stright up in the air and lit in Carlton's hands. "Jim" raced sixty-eight yards through a broken field for Howe's first touchdown. Fulton made the trick for extra point. The half ended with the score 13 -7 favor Vicksburg.

The third quarter ended with the ball in Howe's possession on Vicksburg's 20 yard line. Gregg made 2 yards through the lin e. Sperekas proved hims elf more or l ess of a hero when he ran around end for twenty yards scoring the l ast touchdown of the game.

How e missed the kick for point. After a series of plays when we had the ball, Fulton attempted to drop kick. The kick l acked the distance but went over the goa l lin e on the ground. There was some dispute as whether to score this but it did not count anything. The ball was on the 50 yard lin e as the final whistle blew . Final score being 13- 13.

HOWE 2 - GOSHEN 19

The last game of the season was played on the home field. The cadets made a fine showing against a superior team. In reference to the outcome of this game Elkhart beat Goshen 16-0 and won from us 30-0, while Goshen b ea t 20-6, and we lo st to them by 7- 0. Howe kicked over Goshen's goa l posts and the ball was brought out to their 20 yard line. After a series of punts Howe took the ball down the field . Mike Sperekas, who has been the b ac kbone of the team a ll season, ran the pigskin to Goshen's eight yard line. The cadets were gaining slow l y when a fumble caused a safety scoring only two points for Howe. Go s hen carried the ball to Howe's fifteen yard line . They tried a drop kick but it failed to clear the posts. When Howe fumbled Goshen se iz e d the ball and comp l eting a l ong pass made the score 6-2. Gregg received their kickoff but we lost the ball on downs. Goshen completed a short pass for another touchdown and made the extra point. The score a t the end of the half was 13-2.

Howe kicked off to Goshen who by th e success ful plunges of their righthalf scored anot h er marker They failed to make their extra point. Goshen then kicked off and in spite of the runs of Sperekas, Burgess and Fulton we were forced to punt In the last quarter neither team seemed to have much of a chance to score but the runs of Fulton and the fight of Houk right tackle were very noticeable. The whistle blew end in g the game with Goshen holding the upper hand of a 19 -2 score and also ending the 1925 football season.

CHARLES WYLIE ALLEN , JR.. Coach

Being a new master in the school did not prevent Mr. Allen from taking a new group of boys and turning out a team which reflected much honor on both himself and the school. Spending all his spare time with the team h e drilled them to a point where he knew he could take them to the Mid-West Tournament at Madison, Wis. There is no other man that would have attempted such a thing, but Mr. Allen knew exactly what he had, as he lived, dreamt, and everything else for the team.

Mr Allen is an athlete himself and extremely popular with the team and student body. His great success may be attributed to those two important things.

SEASON'S RECORD

Although we did not do as well as we did last year it must be remembered that the team lost FOUR REGULARS and also quite a few substitutes The only regular back was "Bill" Fulton who was elected Captain. The Coach was a new man and a great deal of credit must be given to both "Bill" and Coach Allen for the way they whipped a green team into the condition that they had them in at the end of the season. Next year we can rest assured that with both "Bill" and Coach Allen back we will have a team which we are certain can be compared to the "Five Horsemen" who rode rough shod over Culver. We ar e back of the team to a man.

WILLIAM FULTON, Captain

"Bill" the only man from l.ast year on the team, and it was through his able leadership that the team gamed the position that it did. Bill was the most loyal member of the team, and he played through a number of games when he was in a sick condition. This fact was known to only a few people and some of the team did not know it. He will be back next year to hold down a regular position.

FREDERICK WELLINGTON

"Duke" was one of the hardest workers on the floor. He was one of the best point-getters on the team and kept the opposing guards busy all the time. He had a keen sense of basketball which he used to good advantage .

LENTZ CHAFFEE

Lentz was the hardest fighter the team possessed and was adept at breaking up opposing plays. He was an accurate passer and fitted nicely into the teamwork of the Maroon and White. He will be depended on for a brilliant season next year.

ARTHUR HOWARD

"Art" was the youngest member of the team but that did not affect his playing or spirit. He showed much aggressiveness and covered tl:e Rcor nicely. He will also hold down a regular position next year.

LESTER MUDGE

"Les" was the smallest man on the squad and used his shortness to adv;mtagr. His speed and ability made him a good man to break up dribbling ard cpposing plays His playing of this year proves that there will be a position waiting for him next season.

HAROLD METZ

Harold soon developed into a splendid center and filled a much r.eeded position. Despit his size and weight he was able to cover the flcor in a fine manner and his long shots proved to be of much use to the team. He will be back next year.

MOUL TON HOUK

Houk was a floor guard of the type that never gives up regardless of the odds that are against him. He was one of the best shots at shooting fouls on the team. His playing will be missed next year.

THEODORE MAU

"Ted" was another fighter who went into the plays in a whirlwind fashion. He was not only a good defense man but also an excellent feeder for the other players. His loss will be felt next season.

DAVID BURGESS

"Dave" was another hard worker and especially good on the defensive. Although one of the largest men on the squad he handled himself with ability on the floor. His cheerfullness made him a valuable member of the team. Dave graduates this year and his loss will be felt.

ELLIS SCHNACK

Schnack is a boy who deserves considerable mention. While he did not participate in as many games as some of the other mern hers, he shows great prospects, and his splendid spirit was one of the supports of the team. He has three more years to play for Howe.

ROBERT GILL

"Bob" proved to b a splendid assistant to both the coach an? athletic board as student manager Besides helping to take care of the busmess part of the team, Bob scored all of the games. A more conscientious manager than Bob will be hard to find.

HOMER STEDMAN

"Ace" did more than his part as trainer of the team led all ?f the cheering and was responsible for most of the school spint. His pep will be missed during the next season.

Sixty-one

EDWARD CAPOUCH

Because of his physician's advice, Ed did not play at all, although he had a sure position on the team, having been a of last year's team. He showed his loyalty and school spirit ,however, by his almost constant presence with the team.

Howe 13 - LaGrange 15

Howe suffered defeat in the initial game of the season when they lost to LaGrange by the score of 15-13. The lack of teamwork was noticeable.

Howe I0 - Sturgis 59

The Maroon and White was hopelessly outclassed by Sturgis, who was the class "B" champion of Michigan. The game was exceedingly interesting and exciting regardless of the score.

Howe 33 - Middlebury 20

Our cadets outplayed Middlebury in every angle of the game and brought the final score to 33-20. We played an offensive game all the way through and were able to go down the floor at will.

Howe 22 - Angola 34

The next game was lost on our own Boor to Angola 34-22. The passing of the opponents was the feature of the game

Howe 12 - M. P. M. A. 27

The largest game of the season was lost to Morgan Park Military Academy by the score of 27-12. It looked in the beginning of the game that our boys were winning, but Morgan Park who were finally getting accustomed to our baskets took the lead and finally the game. Our five man defense proved unable to stop their opponents from long range scoring.

Howe 21 - LaGrange 8

Howe won the return game from LaGrange to the tune of 2 1-8 . The cadets showed a complete change of form and although the game was played away from home they walked away from their opponents.

Howe 23 - Middlebury 24

This was one of the hardest games of the season to lose as our teamwork was almost unsurpassed. Our only trouble was in arching our shots to which we were unaccustomed.

Howe 18 - Ft. Wayne C. C. 25

Our last game was lost to Ft. Wayne 18-25. The game was interesting and full of fight. A lot of the squad were at their best. The playing of Ft. Wayne was spectacular.

TRIP TO MADISON, WISCONSIN

Owing to their splendid showing during the season the Howe basketball team and the captains of the all - club teams were taken to Madison Wisconsin to the first Mid West Ba s ket - ball Tournament team met in Chicago and through the courtesy of the University of Chicago, practiced on .their large Hoor so as to get accustomed to a large gym. That evening they boarded the tram for. Madison, where they were accomodated free of charge by a fraternity house during thi::1r entire stay. The team was at several disadvantages and only got to play in two game s losmg both. The first was to Morgan Park by the score of 36 -9. We had made a better showing against Morgan Park earlier in the season, but several injuries to the team c a used the lower score at our end. In the next game the Maroon and White was defeated by St Johns. who were the runners-up in the tournament. This score was 35-19. The tea.m sent the fraternity hou.se a.troph:l'. and banner in gratitude. They will prob a bly make the trip next year and a splendid victory 1s guaranteed.

SEATED

LAMM E RT, NIVEN , WILLIAMS , HARTLEY, PUTNEY, MERTON , KETTERING

The Varsity Baseball Team was a good one but it had games scheduled with teams of much higher rating and was not quite able to win from them. They made a good fight at each game but they did not have good luck with them. They wer beaten at Kalamazoo and on their trip to Battle Creek the score was not final because of rain. There is not any doubt but. that the team will be good this year as most of last year's fellows are back agam.

Mike Sperekas the captain and pitcher of last year's team is back again with the t e am. A new man will have to be found to fill the place of Yib Mead the first baseman. Ellis Schnack and Duke Wellington are back to fill the places of shortstop and catcher respectively. Charlie Metos and Bill Gregg will fight over keystone position again Paul Webster and Borne rang Beiderman will be missed in th e outfield but new men can be found in the clubs to fill the rest of the empty positions. In all there is a promise of a very successful seasoh this year. With Mr. Bouotn as coach again the fellows will be able to get back into the work with a renewed spirit.

Club Basketball

There was great spirit shown in the Club basketball this season The games were played in the Middle School Gymnasium on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons There was always a large crowd of rooters backing their own club team There was keen competition shown among the fellows. The season did not begin until after the Christmas holidays but it lasted until the week that the fellows went home in the Spring.

The McKenzies were coached by Mr. Lively It was by his good work that the team was able to win the num her of games necessary to win the championship. The Macks came from an altogether new source this year and surprised the whole school by their great spirit in the game The team lost a few of its members in the middle of the season but in spite of the loss were able to keep up their skill. The Blakes were the constant competitors of the Macks and it was not until the last game had been played with them that the Macks were sure of winning their goa The Dwights did not have the same pep and spirit that they had last year and did not do so well. They were very unfortunate as they did not win a single contest.

SUMMARY OF THE JUNIOR CLUB GAMES

The Junior Club championship was won this year without any hard struggle between any of the two teams. At the beginning of the season it seemed as if the Dwights were going to be in the race but they were soon put in the rear. The Blakes won but two games and the Dwights won three. There were some of the games that were not decided until the last two or three minutes of play. In all, the season was a good one and there will be a lot of good material for the club teams of next year.

Tennis

Due to tht fact that the Tat/er goes to press before the 1926 Tennis season proper starts, it is impossible to give a review of it.

Following is a resume of the season of 1925: The team was captained by Branch who also coached. That he was a player of no mean ability was proved in his superb wielding of the razquet. The team was composed of four old men and one new man. House played in both singles and doubles teaming up with Branch. The other team was composed of Chalmers, a last year's man, and Hil!igos, a new-comtr. The remaining member was Glass, who played on last ytar's team. The team lost their first match to Ft. Wayne Central and their second to Angola. The team showed up exceedingly well, considering the excellent calibre men they were playing.

Cadet Captain Glass has been chosen by the Director of Athletics to coach the Tennis team this year and we feel certain that under his able coaching we will have a fine team. Seidel is looked upon to be one of the mainstays of this yeasr team.

Track Team

The Varsity Track Team of 1925 was a great success. It was successful in winning two triangular meets during its season; first by defeating two rivals Coldwater and Hillsdale with a score of 53 to 40. The second meet was won from Lima and Angola with a score of 73 to 16. A new school record was set for the discuss by Richard Barrett with a throw of one hundred and ten feet and two inches. The relay team had the honor of defeating the Alumni relay team; time one minute forty two and two-fifths seconds. There are several of last year's men back to be represented on the track and field, and we hope to have as good if not better team than last year because there are some very promising new men this season. Those men that were awarded letters in track last year are: Anderson, Barrett, R., Biederman, Burgess, House, Langford, Metz , Modjeski, Speer, Smitley, Siedel, Sweeney, Schneider, Wilson and Wood.

Alpha Delta Tau

The Alpha Delta Tau, when estab li shed at Howe, in 1906 , was a national honorary fraternity, open to all academies, with a purpose of promoting high standards and developing the character of its members. It was to be in the "prep" schoo l what Phi Beta Kappa is in co ll ege.

In 1916, owing to the prejudice aga in st Greek letter fraternities, and because of the Alpha D !t a Tau ruling against feminine membership, thus excluding gir l s from the academic competit ion, th e organization was discontinued as a national fr aternity, and gave way to the Cum Laud e Society. However, Howe retained it as a loc a l fraternity.

The principa l s of the Cum Laude are very different from those of the Alpha Delta Tau. To become a member of the l atter, a cand id ate must be either a Junior or Senior of good character besides possessing a high aca demic training. The Cum Laude requires high sc hol astic stan din g, a go od character, and is open only to those of the Graduating Class.

Up to date the A lph a Delta Tau has been very successfu l in regard to setting a standard before the student body, toward which they may aim. At the beginning of schoo l l ast September, there were but two members of the Alpha Delta Tau in the Student Body. This number has increased to four with prospects of severa l more members before the close of the year. The reason for the small membership is the exacting academic requirements.

The members at present are: Stratis Sperekas, President; Herbert Worth, Secretary; Edgar Glass and Moulton Houk.

Alpha Tau

During the current academic year, the Alpha Tau Literary Society, under the able direction of Mr. Starrfield, has considered as its salient object the development in its members of the capacity of oral expression . The society has felt that the power to convey one's thoughts to others · thru the medium of the spoken word is one of the indispensable prerequisites for cuscess in any field of life, besides being a potent factor in an individual's personality

The weekly meetings have furnished the customary setting for the efforts of the members. A definite system in the programs has established an atmosphere of regular, intelligent discourse among the members. The attempt has been made to include most of the fields of human interest in the programs. Thus a characteristic meeting might contain the presentation of the details of a current event, the reading of several selections of prose and poetry, a discussion of a scientific topic followed by one on athletics and at times by one on art. Subsequent discussion has given all the members the opportunity to participate in the program, whose more specific elements have been prepared by individuals. Extemporaneous speaking has had a regular place at the meetings. In general, the meetings have stimulated thoughtful discussion, and have stressed accurate presentation of ideas in clear, vigorous language.

The annual debate and declamation con test offered the opportunity for much more elaborate preparation, and hence for the fuller display of capacities Altho the society did not win the honors this year, it has been felt that its efforts in both events have been most gratifying. The debate with its rival convincingly showed that the Alpha Tau society has attained its end to some degree.

Tht Pi Delta Literary Socie ty is one of the two lit erary societies formed in Howe School for the widening of a boys scope in lit erature and for the deve lopm ent of expression and public speaking, which is of such great importance to the youth who is about to enter manhood.

For tht l ast two years the Pi Delta's hav e seemed to have the upper hand in the inter club compet ition s; namely, the declamation contest, theoratical contest, and the debate. The declamation contest was won on Thanksgiving Day and the oratorical contest and debate were won at Commencement.

Officers Club

On Washington's birthday February 22 the officers of Gray Hall assembled in Father Young's office and as a result of this meeting the "Sword and Sheath" club of Howe School was formed. This club is composed of all commission ed officers and first sergeants of Gray Hall. An outline of the Constitution was drawn up and every one was well pleased and satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.

This is the first officers club ever established at Howe and as we can see the good effects coming from it already, we hope and know that !n the officer's club will be a body of officers not only looked up tom the military work, but in all other branches of the school as well.

CONSTITUTION Article I

The purpose of the Club

The Officer's Club of Howe School, Howe, Indiana, is founded for the purpose of improving the military and efficiency in the school through the cooperation of the Cadet Officers.

Article I I

The Name o f the Club

The name of the Officer's Club of Howe School shall be "The Sword and the Sheath."

Article I I I

The Members of the Club

The members of the Club shall consist of five groups:

I . The Charter Members of the Club shall comprise all Commissioned Officers and First Sergeants who live in Gray Hall on the date of its organization , and who have taken the club pledge.

2. The Active Members of the Club shall consist of all the Commissioned Officers and First Sergeants who live in Gray Hall and who are on active duty in the school and who have signed the Club Pledge.

3. The Graduate Members of the Club shall consist of all members who have been honorably graduated from the school.

4. The Honorary Members ex-officio are the Rector of the school and the Commandant of Cadets. They shall have a seat and a vote at al meetings of the Club.

5. As Honorary Members the club may elect any Tactical officer or other Member of the Faculty. Such Honorary Members shall have a seat but not a vote at the meetings of the Club. The selection of such Honorary Members shall be by ballot, a two thirds vote of all the Active Members shall be necessary for a choice.

Article VI

The Rector's Approval

All enactments of the C lub must be submitted to the Rector and receive his written approval before being put into operation.

The following Cadet Officers are Charter Members of this club: Captain Glass, Captain Zumstein, Captain Mau, First Lieut. Fulton, First Lieut. Gill, First Lieut. Chaffee, Second Lieut. Worth, Second Lieut. Sperekas, Second Lieut. Seidel, Second Lieut. Howard, 1st Sgt. Whitney, I st Sgt. Metz.

Every year the cadets of Howe School put out a weekly publication, The Howe Herald, which stands for and advances the cause of the school. The main reason for printing it, and this must constantly be kept in the mind s of the staff, is to form a record or bulletin for the parents of the boys and to the Alumni so that they may keep "tab" with the affairs at Howe. It is difficult to get out a publication that interests the cadets, thus the reason for its dedication. ·

The Herald staff this year has worked hard and diligently and theirefforts have been reaped by the good it has done them. Martin Baldwin, Edi torin-chief, and George Cohn, Managing Editor, has been the reason for the success which the Herald has attained. Cadet Baldwin will be back next year, and as it is the custom not to have an editor two years in succession, we hope that he will con tribute articles occasionally. He has already been chosen as Editor -i n-chief of the Tatlcr next year and we know that he will make good. Cadet Cohn is taking post-graduate work this year and will not be back next year.

Mr. Balsley, the head of the English department , has officiated well as faculty advisor. It was through him that the Herald gained membership to the School Newspaper Federation. This federation includes twenty-six prf p schools in the east and along with two other schools, Howe stands as the only mid-western school in it. It is also the only military school in the association. Each school sends into the federation weekly, various i terns of interest which are compiled and in turn are sent to oth e r schools for publication in their papers. Membership to this sets a record of high standard for future publications.

At eight fifteen Saturday evening, October thirty-first a large group gathered in the Middle School to attend the Founder's Day Dance. The gymnasium, where the dance was held, and the Middle School living room were decorated in orange and black and also with cornstalks this was indeed a decoration symbolic of Hall owe' en.

"Ed" Oliver's Orchestra, seven pieces, from Elkhart furnished the music. What they lacked in volume they made up in quality.

The last dance was the best of all and the moaning of the saxophones and wailing of the trumpets plus the dimmed lights of the gym placed everybody present especially the cadets and their partners in a mood from which no one wished to be aroused and it was with a great deal of reluctance and heavy hearts that the dancers heard the last moaning notes of "Home, Sweet Home" fade away in the atmosphere and bringing to a close one of the best dances given at Howe.

On the twelfth day of December the Club House was the scene of one of the best danc s ever put on at that place The dance was sponsored by the Upper School who with the help of the Sctterly - Logan Orchestra of Lansing made it the most talked of social affair on the campus.

The spacious living room of the Club House was decorated with pennants. The lights were covered with paper which caused the en tire room to be covered with that soft mellow glow which is so essential to a dance.

ff one had looked into the gym on the evening of April I 0, he would have been amazed to find that the large room had put on the appearance of a great ballroom. In it could be seen merry couples gliding silently to the soft music of a half hidden orchestra , all unconscious of thee ruel. cold wind outside, The lights were low and the silence was brok e by an occasional laugh from the joyous couples. The dance was on and everyone seemed to be having a pleasand time. Although th e dances were numerous and seemed to well exchanged the tag dance was the one most enjoyed by the stags who made their rendezvous in one corner of the gym.

The gym was decorated in a purple and gold color combination put up in a tricky fashion making the lights filter through in a soft mellow glow. The cadets of Howe Hall are to be complimented on their dance

The music was furnished by Conn's eight piece orchestra from Elkhart, which put plenty of pep in the occasion. As the orchestra began to play that one piece which is used so much to end a dance, there were many sighs as the young couples realized that a wonderful dance must end. Sevenly-lhrec
