,

DO Major David H. Edwards, because of his ceaseless efforls lo establish an excellent military department at Howe School; because he has succeeded in turning out well-trained, intelligently obedient young men of sterling character fitting them lo be leaders in whatever walks of life they may find themselves; and because we have always found him equally fair in his dealings with the cadets, we, the members of the class of 1927, respectfully dedicate this edition of the Tat/er.

FOREWORD The Annual Staff of the nineteen twenlyseven Taller, in preparing this edition has endeavored lo present lo our class-males a volume that will in after years bring memories of our life al Howe; and thus in a measure recall those pleasant and carefree days of our cadet life. In the second place, in presenting this book lo alumni and friends, we hope to give them an insight into cadet life as it is today.

We respectfully submit the following pages in the hope that they will be of interest to our readers.

CLASS HISTORY

by H S. Barrett Once upon a ti111e, 111any years ago, when the Septemb e r 111or~1 of. 1q 18 was bca.u tifying th e Howe School estate, I entered the old Lower School. Dr. Mcl\en:1c was still wit h us the n, though not ve ry active. The old members of the alumni and so me of the. fellows 111ay rc111c111bc r how one was treated when an invitation to meet the late Rector 1n hi s stud y was extended, or, J"d better say , enforced upon an "unfortunate. " It was my ra ther do ubtful pleasure to be at the receiving end of such an invitat ion about three or four months after my arriva l. Let 111e add that, a you all know, the Mess H all is not endowed with mantl cshclveso rfircpl accs.

"A word to the wise is sufnci ent. ·· Bill Fulton sudd enl y dropped into this little world on a rat her cold day of September, That yea r we had twenty boys in the old Lower School, where. the Adm inis trati on Building now stands. A new Lower was planned the fullowmg yea r. but 1s wa s a littl e late and did not arrive until 1q26. Bill feel s rather blue now because he didn ' t know Bob G ill back in those dark ages. Between us, we have seen the Lower abso rb tha t forme r s helte r of the 5th Form , the Club House, now White H all. The old Lower gfl\C place t o Art Fi s her' s Q.M. Headquarters, the Rector"s office, a nd several Ma sters' a partments. The l\ liddl e and Llrpcr school have been changed and even our C hapel has been beautified with ;1 marble s11 nct uurv.

We wonder what our "a lm a mater" will look li ke in ten yea rs? · 1q 1q.

Came 1q20 with another September a nd more cold wenthcr than was nccessury. "8oh" Metz drifted in during that noble yea r which was the one and 'amc in which o ur im·incihle "dcven" beat Sturgis by a score of 77 to o. The athletic recnrd mu't haH: impressed Bnb as he"s been one of our stars in almost every sport ever si nce. Bill Fultun h asn" t bC'en far bl'hind .

Ed Gu ili ano (remembe r him?) was engaged in proving ~>me of Dw·win \ t heories by hanging from a window by hi s kne es and doing va ri o u s similur amic,. The three boys were soon to become used to it, as can be affirmed by speaking to "' Thatch' " J J;i rw urd. ·Art" Howard , or .Jim /\mo ld , the three astounded, "would-be·· cadet-<.

"Marty" Baldwin, "Bob" G ill , " Irv" .Johnson . a nd Pierre Rub-.a m came in 1q23.

No w the year 1q25 dawned a nd as it also had a month callt.:d Scpll'lllhl·r which cumc afte r August, as we had expected, on ly one fellow , "Doc" R ecd, 1rnncd out runks. But whn"ll forget 1q25? That was t he year when "Bob" G ill was hurt 111 the Llkhan gwlll'. \,\ l' nearly evened accou nts thi s year.

E. RYON Eddie R yo n hails from Lansing, And a s peed y lad is he, He'll get a cha nce to show hi s speed In the good old Stagg Field Meet.

C. PORTER A bonnie lad is Porter A shark in Gcometrv, When he's out in the wide, wide world He'll nev er go out on a spree.

M. BALDWIN Thi s young chap is quite a star Who wi ll fidd le his way to fame, We know t hat Baldwin is going to s ucceed And make for him self a wonderful name.

R. BARBER Bob is Lhc quietest man in schoo l, And for work he's a son of a gun When it comes to bra ins he's not a fool And he'll be right there when the battles done.·

R WELLINGTON We have a lad in the se nior class Who 1·m sure is go ing to pass, He stars on the gridiron with a lot of stea m, Then too, he's captain of the bas ketba ll team.

B. WILLIAMS Now W illi ams B. is from Detroit, And ever since to Howe he came, We 've been hea ring a ll about that c it y l t 's holdups, robbers, and its fame.

BEAMAN A silent lad is Bea man \Vho never makes a noise, His a mbition is to be a sea man But he consta ntl y pla ys with hi s toys . . JOHNSON From a far off s tate comes J ohnson, A science fiend is he, In fact he'll tell you the history Of any insec t you see ...

The Alpha Delta Tau, when firs t fo unded at Tome schoo l in the East in 1qo6, was a nat io na l honorary fraternit y fo r the purpose of promoting aca d emic s tandards a nd d eve loping the character o f its membe rs. The chapter at H owe wa s the eighth c h apte r to be esta bli shed.

For a long while the fraterni ty prospered, but in 1q 1q, due to the prejud ice enterta in ed aga inst C r ck-lette r soc iet ies of a ny kind, a nd b eca use members hip was limited to b oys o n ly, the fraternity was dropped n a tionally . C um Laud e has taken the place o f Alpha Delta T a u .1mong the prepa ratory schools of t he country. How eve r, Howe Schoo l retained Alpha D elta Tau as its own loca l frate rnit y.

In the course o f the p ast yea r, the sta nd a rd for members hip in Alpha Delta Tau has been rai sed from 77.5 to 80. This m akes the fra ternity even more se lect ive than it h as b een prev io us ly.

The work of Alpha Delta T a u h as been most success ful. Every member o f the two hi ghest forms makes it hi s aim to become eligible for the f ratcrnit y. Each year two Juni o rs arc selected nea r the end of the year t o carry on the wo rk of the frat e rnity in the course o f the coming year.

THE HOWE HERALD The wo rk of t hi s yea r' s Hera ld under, Mr. Balscy's direction , has been exce ll ent. For .cn:rn l yea rs the Hera ld has been more or le s experim enta l, but this yea r the editors see m to ha\I: foLind what they want. First the paper was a la rge pub li cat ion w ith advert isements and other unnecessa ry m a teria l. From this stage it was placed in m agaz ine form. 1twas not un ti l lil't vcar that the Herald again made a newspaper with on ly the necessary material in it.

The f">aper \\'as considered so good that it was adm itted to the Schoo l Newspaper Federation, " Jcckrnl ion in which o nl y th e be t western sc hool p ubli cations can obtain 111 c1Tbershi p.

The sLaff h as worked hard and carefu ll y to make the paper what iL is today. Robert Dobson as l::.ditor-111-Chi ef and Warner Gi llis formed the backbone of the pape r. Both EdiLor .tnd 1arntg ing Editor wi ll be back next yea r to contin ue the ir splendid wo rk and perhaps \\ 111 nL w laurel s for Lhc H era ld .

I he work of th e FaculLy Adv iser, Mr. Bal sley, should a lso be highl y comJT ended. It 1 ,mlv through hi s untiring e fforts t h at the Herald has been able lo accoJTpl is h what it has.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SENTINEL The Midd le Sc hool ScnLincl was a new paper on the camp us thi s year, and we hope t h at 1t is here to st ay. It owes its b irth to Mi s Libey through whose initi at ive th e paper wa s sta rted. Strict ly speaking, the Sentin el is publish ed by the mc1T.bcrs o f the fo urth form. However, it dea ls wit h the news of the whole school and the world in gen era l so it is of eq ual importance to eve ryone. One of the features of the year was the recording word for word of one of Mr. Todd's famou s sermons "The S h adow of a Man". Aga in t h anks goes to M iss Libcy who took the time and the trouble to record thi s se rmon , which is tru ly a masterpiece. The Se ntinel a lso afforded mean s for the s tudents to have the ir essays and 'stor ies publ ished and thus stimulate an interest in uch work.

Too much can not be sa id for Mi ss Libcy. Sh e has been here a long time , and dur ing that Lirr c she has done more than can be i1Tagined to help the school along in every way. She has furnished the fellow s "back bone" , a it were , to go t h rough the fifth and s ixth forms with a n honora ble record. She doc rruch n~ orc than anyone can expect of her As Jong as she is tchind it. the entinc l will a lways be a success.

THE MINSTREL SHO\V

This yea r H owe School revived a new type of cntcrta i111rcnt, the minstrel show, whi ch she hope to repeat in the ft.1Lure. This yea r' s pe rfo rmance was the first of its k ind in scvcrnl yea rs flt 1-lowc. T he firs t pcrforrr.ance was fo r the purpose of obta ini ng mone y to se nd the basketball tea m to t he inte rscho lastic tourne y held a nnua ll y at the Uni vers it y o f Wi sconsin.

The second ni ght was for the benefit of St. Mark's Guild. The s how, unde r the ab le direction of Mr J am icson, was a huge success. The jo kes a nd hu morou s "take-o ffs" on the facult y we re mos pleasing to the cadet s. Bob G ill as inte rl ocuto r was the v ictim of a ll the "wise c racks· o f th e end men, To hea r Browne Wil li a 1r.s ta lk a nd specia ll y say "wild eyed and desp" rarc· was worth the price of the s how in itself. George Co hn a nd "High-Jenks" Jenkins, end me n, played their pa rts well. ass isted much b y their na tura l south e rn acce nt. Much credit is due "Smitty" for his excellent exhibiti on of the manl y a rt of sci f defense in the last part of the s how . When " Rolli c" Lctt sa ng " l "d Love to Ca ll You M y Sweethea rt" to one of the fa irer m e mbe rs of the faculty, the c row d was h ys te rical. tvlr.

Incidentall y, we hope th a t " R olli e" has fo und hi s "Katink a". /\s s tated befo re, the s how was a great s uccess, a nd in the mind s o f so me "old-t im e rs " the best of a n y type eve r s taged a t H owe.

In. the evenin gs c lasses were h eld and con.du cted by Coac h Coo mbs for the purpose o f revi ew ing t h e rul es and playing principles of the ga n'e. ft is easi ly see n t hat by t h e time sc hool open ed the squad h ad <Ji ready a d va nced ad 1rirab ly in persona l rh ys ic<J I condition, as we ll as in team orga ni zat ion .

On Fmmdcr's D ay, Lhc Sa Lurda y following thi s defeat, the Learn was schedu led to play S turgis a t Howe. H owe had been defeated by Sturgis every fooLba ll sea ·on for the pas t sc\-cral years, w1d the wh ole school was behind th e team to h elp them win Lhi s girn1e if they lost cnrv ol he r. The t C<l ll1 entered lhe fi e ld am id shout ing and cheering from so me few hundreds I I we patrom, cadet , a nd enthu siasts.

of

The green and white team from Sturgis, a s wel l as the cadets' were out for blood. The H owe scored a touchdown in the r1rsL few minut es o f pl ay. Sturgis, strengthened by the see ming necess it y of the situation, accomplished the ame end a m oment later. Thi s erratic play hown so far b y both sides quickly, c hanged to a st ea dier brand of foo tba ll. The ha lf ended, wiLh H owe in the lead, after a struggle during which hoLh Lea ms showed streak s of brilliant p laying. The third quarter, during which neither s ide scored, was the most interesting part of the game . Both team s reentered the ~ame with set teeth. They fou ght, match ing brain and brawn with such bri lli ancy that it seemed that one or t he ot he r of these two ontest ing fact ions mu st soon break und e r Lhe stra in.

But it wits not unLil !au: in the fourt h period t hat the Mai·oon and W hi te fina ll y scored the last touchdown . The game ended dee id d ly in favor of H owe, Lhe score bci ng 17- 1 J. ~am.c sta rt ed with a n immedi ate di splay of speed and dash.

Th e d deat of Lhe Howe el even b y the Morgan Park Milita ry Academy on November 6th was du e to the har\ls hips of th e long, weakening bus trip to Chicago. This wa s Howe 's only trip mvay from home. It was a new experience, and the members of the Lcam were in n o wi se rrcp<i rc.:d for the sudden change in ho urs, food ,a nd water. They a rrived at M .P .M .A. in a rircd a nd Lra \' d worn condition, but rea d y to ft ght to the las L. The ga me st a rted in I lowc's favor, a nd cont inued such until th fir st of th e second half, when I. P .

H AROLD METZ- It is not every man who is a bl e to pass a nd punL with the acc uracy a nd consistancy s hown by thi s capa ble backfield man. We \Vi ii not soon forget the thrill of seeing Metz tear loose aro und e ncl for one of hi s Lhirty or fo rty ya rd runs to a to uc hdown.

JIM CARLTON is a numc that meant much on the linc- u , of Lhc past sea.on. Despite hi s weight he made hi s presence known to hi s opponents in a ve ry fo rceful manner. Hi s speed as w II as hi s righting spirit ca rri ed ter ror into the hearts of h is opponents. I Ii habit of keeping glue on hi s hands m ade it por.siblc for quite a bit of ya rdage to be gai ned for 1q:z.6, bccau e he was able to intercept passes and hang on to t h em. His cooperetion with hi s team mate was a big help in s mashing holes that were big enough to drive the proverbial truck t h rough the opposing line. We wish him lu ck in coll ege next fall.

GEORGE RYERSON was o ne of the two s upreme guards who made up H owe's immovable line. H e was a ha rd hitt er-H man a lmost pagan-li ke in hi s avage pursuit of the garrc.

It was the joy of Lhc on looke rs to sec Geo rge crash through the opposing defense, leaving behind him a wha le of a c hasm through which H owe backs followed wit h res ulting gains infinitely larger t han those expe rienced before t he time of t hi s hum an battering ram.

CLUB FOOTBALL SEASON i\t the fir st ca ll of footba ll Lhc Club men repo rted in la rge numbers a nd exce ll ent quality to Lheir re spective coaches. The season turned out to be o ne of the best, if not t he best, Club seasons in t he hi s tory of the school. The B lakes, who had held the supremacy for several years. were forced to take a back sca t a nd g ive the front row to t he Dwights. The Dwights wiLh an exceedingly fa st team, went through the season without being d efeated a nd without having H score made upon t he m until t he last game of the eason with t he Macs.

The firs t game of the season ended in a v icto ry for the Dwights ove r t he last yea r's cha1rpions, the Blakes. The score was 6-o, the one touchdown being made by jimmy Arnold, captain of the Dwights, who int e rcepted a B lake pass a nd ra n .+O yds. fo r the wi nning score.

The Dwights romped away with t he seco nd Clu b ga me of the season when t h ey walloped the Mucs 16-0. The ga me s l~owccl a startling exa mpl e of s upremacy of speed over weight in modern footbal l. /\ga in in the third ga me the Macs were o n t he s hort e nd of a 6-o sco re, the laurels going to the B lakes. The Gold a nd White owe thi s tr ium ph to the educa t ed toe of Tom Kettering who put ove r two drop kicks which saved the d ay for them.

By some very good pass work t he Owights cinched t he Club C hampions hip by defeating the Blakes 1b-o. Arnold, Mudge, Mc i nt y re, Schn ack H ., and Dobson did well fo r t h D wights wh il e the Blakes' strong po ints were Snarey, Warren, l<:ctte rin g, a nd Ocligiannis A. In their last game of the season the DwighLs came the nearest to defeat, winning over the !\lacs by Lhe very clo e , core of 20- 18. H eavy line plu ng ing featured t he wo rk of the Macs wh ile numerous completed passes s ucceeded in saving t he clay fo r the pwigh ts.

In the (111al fray of the whole season the B lake succeed ed in cli mbing to seco nd place in the '"Little Three"' by triumphi ng ove r Lhc poor Macs to the tune of 15-n. In t hi s game also l<cttcri ng"s dropkicks a nd Warren ·s defens ive wo rk gave the B lakes tJ1 e ed ge.

The t hree couc hes, Mr. A ll en of t he Dw ighL s, Mr. Bouton of the Blakes, a nd M r. Baurcnfcind of t he Macs, dese rve the greatest of credit for the wonderfu l succc::ss of the season.

A REVIEW OF TI-IE BASKETBALL SEASON Alt hough. thi s yea r's team was ha ndica pped by the fact th a t seve ra l lett e r men of the prev iuus ye,1r were not ab le to come out, the team experi enced a rathe r remarkable season.

F uur of the five regulars, so t o spea k , were lette r men. Th e fifth, L. D cligia nni s, showed all the ri ghl a nd expe ri ence of the ot he r four eve n though t hi s was hi s fir st yea r on Lhc 'Varsitv rost e r. Browne H . held dow n the running guard positio n. Last yea r du e to illness he was kept from hi s berth on the t ea m, but thi s yea r showed a s trong '"comeback" on hi s pa rt throughout the who le seuson. The scor ing parl of the quinte t did wel l a lo ng that li ne. Fulton , Well ington, and Howa rd with t heir deft passwo rk a nd cl eve r shifting ma naged to ro ll up a tota l of 3 ~ 3 po ints during t he t hirteen ga mes that the y pl ayed. This docs not include the many poims made b y the gua rds and s ubstituLes. Altho ug h the who le fir·st team wi ll grad ua t e, Coach Coombs i ~ fnr fro m despondent for mate rial for n ex t yea r. The stmng second team coirposccl of IVlo rgan at cent e r, Arnold a nd Wa rren at fo rwa rd , a nd S na rcy and M e rto n at gua rd , is expected to make as good if not a bet t e r reco rd than thi s yea r 's fir st s trange rs. Th en in lhc dim dark fulUre (two years) we·w ill h ave Ump hrey a nd Burt s tarring as H owe Schoo l's wonder forw a rds. The fou rtee nth me mbe r of t h e team w ho is as impo rta nt as any is Coach Coomhs.

New at Howe School he produced a t ea m tha t both he a nd the ins titution ca n well be p ruud of Mr. All en, las t yea r's coach , dese rves a g reat d ea l of the cred it for th e s uccess of thi s year·, team. H e t'Jok a gre en tea m with t heir expect ed losses, t ra ined t he m, th a t t hi s season 's squad mi ght m ake a na me worth y of itse!L It took a lot of "stuff " to do a t hing li ke that and the team, in fact, the whole s tudent body a ppreciates hi s efforts. This howeve r do cs not take a ny of the g!My away from Coach Coom bs. His untiring efforts a nd pcrscve rc ncc were t he direc t ca uses o f the team' s success. FuLurc tcair s wi ll prove thi s.

The nrst game took place in the Midd le Sc hool gym a nd gave a d ec id edl y fa vora b le ou ll oo k on t he com ing sea 0 o n . \Ve eas il y romped away to a 26-3 v ic to ry ove r the rather weak Ships hewa na fi ve. It looked good ne ve rtheless, as it was the firs t game o[ the season fo r us and lhc eleventh for our opponents. A hard ga me at M iddl eb ury fo ll owed the vacation , Howe na rrowl y esca ping defeat, wi ~ h a 46-34 victor y. Two ga m es with St. C ha rl es of Cold waler resulted in two easy wins. 'J hen ca me t he bi g week in which we lost to Morgan Par!<. On Monday of that week we bea t the Mohawks, a n ind ependent team, 25- 15. \ Vcdnesday we defea t ed our o ld fri ends Sturgi s on th eir rloor 5q-24. Thursda y, Frida y, a nd Saturd ay we took mid-yea rs. Saturday afternoon Morgan P a rk in vad ed H owe, di s hing o ut o ur first defe at in a hard fought ga me which ended 28- rq. lt was hard for us to lo c t h is game but as luck and skill would have it we lost. M iddl eb ur y was easy a fte r thi s batt le of the previous week, H owe Schuol winn ing 3 1- rq. Th e seconds pla yed the whole econd pe riod. Fort \Vay nc's stro ng cat holic quintet whic h defeated us las t yea r was next on the schedul e. At firs t t hei r quickness a nd passwo rk baffled our d efe nse. Soon the t ea m "found itself", as it were, a nd ga in ed a comfo rtab le I ad which was neve r threatened throughout the ga me which e nded in a decisivr victory for H owe 3-1-- 18. The ~eco nd upse t of t he season came when we tnwc led to /\ ngula.

In four yea rs thi s powe rful team has neve r bee n d efeated on its ow n Aoo r. Before we played them t he cl osest a nyone had come Lu Lhem was fifte en po ints. Th e gy m was muc h larger Lha n our fell ows we r·c accus tomed to, but they put up the b est fi g ht of t he sea son in spite ol Lhe odds. Ti ll t he last few minutes of th e ga me it looked li ke anybod y's game. In the last few seconds Angola rega ined the lead that we held and s inking two baskets won the game 4 1-45. The fo ll ow ing week C ul ve r Mi li tary Aca de m y, nat io na l aca d e my c ha mpi o ns, defeated us in th e fin a l ga me of the season 6 1-2 1 . In spite of the las t d efcat s tati s tics und ge ncn.1! opini on proves t.hat t hi s yea rs tea m was one of the best that Howe School ha. ever see n. \Ve wun ten of the th i rtcen ga mes los ing t o the National Academy champions a nd runn er-up, a nd a team th at went far up in the Ind ia na s tate tourne y. Taking eve rything a ll in a ll thi s year's team wa a huge success, o ne th a t will be ha rd to duplicate in the future.

"B ILL" FULTON "Bill .. piloLed the team in the ye<1 r 1q25-26 and hel i:ed develop the raw ma teria l th at rradc this year's team such a success.

"Bi ll" hns t he honor of being a b le to SHY that not only h J S he pla yed 'Varsit v fo r three yea r ' but he has played first team duriPg th at time. ' rhc steadiness that "Bi ll " di splayed in pinches held the team toge ther a nd made it possible for th em to ro ll up the score

"ART" HOW ARD ''Art .. has for two yea rs been coun ted o n to be one of th e main sco rers of the game. \Vith .. Bi ll " Fulton a nd .. Duke .. he made up the feared trio known as the unho ly three. Art was in the thick of the fra y and a lways ca1i-c out with the ba ll . 1 li s coo lness anJ passing were rema rka ble, a nd h is place wi ll be a ha rd one Lo fill next yea r.

BROWNE "Browni e" was <I guard whom no pl ay went around without eve ryone knowing that "Browni e" had don hi s best to break it up. Except for sickn ess thi s wou ld have been "Brownie's" second year on the 'Va rsity, but in the seaso n of '25-'26 H e was la id up a ll yea r. However he made up for thi s in hi s next year by playing one of the most b rilli a nt garrcs o n the floor .

Hi s gua rding and Ooor work was s upe rb , a nd he wi ll be with us again next yea r, we hope.

DELIG ! ANN JS

1f a tea m is as good as its s m all s t p layer, H owe's team thi s yea r wa s a wonde r. To look at " H a lf-pint" o ne would t hink t hat basketba ll wou ld be out of the question for hi m. To watch him play one knows that it is decided ly in the question.

"Deli" held down the position of guard , a nd whenever the re was a sc ra mbl e und er t he ba ket, "Deli .. alwa ys came out with t he ba ll. More good news. H e wi ll be back next yea r.

102

ARNOLD ·· / i111m ie" seemed to be everyw here at once on the ba kctba ll floor It was certa inl y wonder fu l to see how rr.uch s trength and ,peed in one so small. ) a111cs h as held up a hare of Howe's ,coring record for two years, and we are so rry to lose hi111 to the crnd cold wor ld . Hi s place in the lineup will be a large one to nil .

WARREN "Bud" ha d a dead eye for t he basket and was at the start of 111any a bea utifu l tally to t he cred it of I !owe. He was a p roduct of the C lubs, h av ing played Blake last yea r. H e will be one of the 111ainsLays of next year's team, we arc ce rta in.

MORGAN Another new man who showed g rea t promise for n ext year and who did some very good work thi yea r was Morga n. His long nrms intercepted many passes a nd broke up ma n y plays, whil e his long legs seemed to cover a ll the Aoor at o nce and shared t he burden of a hundred guards. He was a wonderful shot, and we wish him the best of luck for next yea r.

BURT In spite of hi s big feet, "Red" was a factor of the tca111 who had a lways to be reckoned on by the opposi ng side. W it h those big fccr and that red t hatch he was certa inl y an obj ect to st rik e terror in the hea rts of those who tried to stop him in hi s quick dash dow n t he Aoor whi ch always ended in two more points for the quota of Howe School.

103

SNAREY-Hcrc is a fe ll ow t hat dese rves a g reat dea l o f commendation. As we who know him know, he is not ve ry la rge bu t he defies anyone of any size to get around him. Hi s guarding was rema rkable and when we t hink t hat he s ti ll has three more yea rs to play, we wonder just how good he will be when he is a senio r.

Watch hirn. He"IJ be a marve l.

UV1PHREY Alt hough "Chuck .. was the youngest man on t he team, he was by no mean s t h e leas t. H e was ve ry q ui ck a nd was always a certain sco rer when he got h o ld of the ba ll. With the ball i11 hi s hands the H owe roote rs always felt s ure that the ga n'e was a /J over but the s hout ing a nd that the coroner had better come to ca rry the a nt i-Howe tea m off t he Aoor.

BOYER Altho ugh t hi s was Nafc 's first yea r at Howe a nd conseq uen t ly hi s first yea r on t he 'Va rsit y, he played a ve ry good game at guard.

When Nafe went in the game, eve ryone h ad a ce rta in feel ing of sa fety for Howe 's v ictory. We hope Nafe will keep up hi s good work next yea r.

MERTON-"Tubb v" started out w ith t he Macks, but the coach found him so good that he ha d to take hirn on the team before ha lf the eason was over. "Tubby" a l o pla yed a l guard.

W hat he could n 't cove r with his a rm s he co uld w it h hi s bod y.

O nce in a while he wou ld take a s hot at the basket. More than once h e made it count.

Thi~ hasLy experimen t was Fl s uccess. The school was g row ing in numb e rs. About 1qo7, a new building was bu ilt to gi,·e li ving qu a rters fo r t he two upper classes, now ca ll ed the Upper School, the old building being he nceforth know n as the Midd le School.

1 hn vc ment ioned the d estruction b y lire of the first dining ha ll. Thi s occ urccl in Jul y.

Promptly begun the bui lding o f a n ew on e, but it co uld not be comp leted by Scpteirbcr 20t h , the elate for opening of sc hoo l. A yea r bdore, on Wi lli ams Field, rhe "Club I louse " ha d bee n bui lt. It is now the north wing o f W hil e H a ll. Thi s was int end ed to se rve as he adq ua rt ers f<1r the aLhlcLics of Lhc Schoo l a nd for soc ia l a ffa irs. It now proved a hm·en of refuge. For twn months, the c ntir·c schoo l, now so me two hundred s tudent s, facu /Lv an d o ffice rs, were fed 111 the Lhrec large room s. The cook ing was clone in a huge tent , ren ted from a circus company.

The Syst em had its good po ints but, on the whole, was not sa ti s facto ry.

T he sc hool wis hed to contribuL e its sh a re to preparat ion for the t e rrific t ask whi ch li es before the Nutin n. In 1q 17 the mi lit a ry syste m was resumed _throu gho ut the School, being ev ident ly bcLtcr a d apted to o ur purposes.

I h Avc sA icl thm 2 5 yea r s ago the M iddl e School was the onl y building on the Ca m p us. rh.: ho use now known as Lhe Rectory WF!S a t th a L ti me Lhc res id ence o f Mrs. H owe, who li ved until 1qo.J.. I reme mbe r he r as a ha.ndsome, so mewhat state ly lady, bright a nd a lert, with a sen'e o f humo r. !Vlr . H owe was, more than a ny one el se, the found e r of I !owe School. M r . .Jn hn I !owe, her hu sband, who di ed in 1883, left a legacy to be used fo r the education of boy ~.

He had no t hought o f locat ing a schoo l h ere . .Jus t he re perhaps l sho uld mention Bi s hop Whit e. H e b cca n~c B ishop of Lhc cli oce s during t he sa me yea r that Dr. Mc l(c n :! ie took c ha rge o f the Sc hoo l. The B ishop wa s a nia n of gonclj ucl grnen.L a nd tremendous ene rgy. H e was a lways ou r f"irm fri nd , a nd gave much Li1rc und t hought to our problems, H e wa s, of co urse, the Pres id ent o f the Roa rd o f Trustees . .'\t one time , he a nd Mrs. W hi te spe nt a yea r in res id e nce h ere. I le o ft en s poke in C ha pel and t\uditoriLlln , a nd hi s vo ice n eve r los t its so no r us, ringing qua li ty, evc:n in d eclining hea lth .

I li s splendid ad dresses a rc st ill re me mbe red b y those who heme! them.

W hil e speak ing of the Recto ry, I mu st me n Lion "O ld J osc ph ." Hi s las L nam e was Rowl ett, though probably few pe rsons a bo ut the school knew it. H e wa s ga rd ener a nd house man fo r 1\ frs. I !owe a n.cl continu ed hi s du t ies t ill hi s d eath in 1q22. Among hi s many functi ons was the office of butler fo r t he R ecto r at form a l d inn e rs. It was a n education in state ly go d ma nners to sec Jose ph a ppear at the door o f the parlor a nd sfly: " Dinn er is se rved , Si r." Jus t pre-

ced ing Joseph as gardene r was Ca rl Sc h roeder. F lowe rs a nd s hrubs grew li ke mag ic under hi s touch. The only person who co uld o utdo him in ra ising fl owe r was Mrs. Schroeder. The neighbors sa id the plants grew fo r Ca rl beca use he was ski ll fu l, but fo r hi s wife because she loved t hem. Very soon afte r I came he passed on to t he land where leaves n eve r wit her and fl owers never droop.

To t hink of M r . H owe is to t hink of t he ma ny g raceful a nd t ho ughtful th ings she did for the school boy . S he bought a big ta Hy-ho coach for t he ir o ut ings" It was a gorgeo u ~. yellow affa ir, an d when filled wit h boys 111s1dc a nd out, seemed to have JU St come roll ing out of a D ickens sto ry. It would not ro ll ve ry fast , however. There we re mo re ho rses in Lima township 25 years ago t han now , but ra rely could enough of these now exti nct beast be assembled to draw t hi s ponderous ve hi cle. As the Irishma n sa id who worked hi s passage on a cana l boat by leading t h mu les o n the tow pat h, riding in the tal ly-ho was "ve ry loikc wa l kin' barin ' the name of ut."

The fire that destroyed the d ini ng ha ll also put a n end to the hospita l, which occupied, t he uppe r fl oo r, as does t he p resent hospita l. Of t hi s hospita l t he gua rdi a n a nge l was Miss Poole, fa ithful , sk il fu l, ene rget ic t rained nurse from Maine. Sh e wa fu ll y a breast of the from rank of her profess ion. Ind eed she was so metimes a li tt le ahea d even of the shock troops. She u sed iodine so freely and bold ly t h at t he boys ca lled her "Sa in t Iod ine." But she a nd her brow 1pa in t healed their cuts and brui ses and now, 25 yea rs a fter, veril y h er nud ac it y is justified.

I hope no H owe School boy labors und er the impress ion that syst emat ic athl etics is ~o m c­ th ing new here. Ir SO, he sho uld hear old boys talk of Mr. Woodruff. "Good Dad Woodruff," athl ete, teacher, fri end a nd guide, hi s shadow still li es o n the path we tread. At t ha t time there was little inter-school athletics, and t hat lit tle was of slight va lu e. ln co-operat ion with the Rector, M r. Wood ru ff set in mot i n t he inter-club system whi ch we t ill u e. l le was always sayin g, "P lay for the game, not to w in ." T here h ave been m a ny ot hers who have come to us, given some years of earnest loyal work and have gone their way again. So man y arc these that I can not even name them, but l wou ld they knew that they a re still remembered here.

I 've ramb led about, a nd some may say: "Did you have a ny cl asses in those days?" Yes, I see m to remembe r Cicero classes in t he sewing room at t he M iddl e, French in t he li tt le room oppo itc, His tory in the band room. Mathemat ics a nd E nglis h must have been so me where, fo r we took Coll ege Boa rd exa minat ions (and passed t hem) . T he College Board bega n 26 years ago and H owe School was among t he first who joined it. l\ nd what an army of boys have t rooped past me as I h ave gone m y li tt le round! Big handsome fel lows, so me of them were; others brigh t li tt le chaps w it h faces li ke cherubs (actions not a lways cherubim and sera phim); keen bra ins a le rt a nd eager; the bes t of the c brains very often under red ha ir. Whe re have t hey a ll gone? Some alas are dead, s ixteen in camp or on the sodden fields of France. Others we hea r of now a nd then, mostl y doing their wo rk in the world. l kne1v them all , and now the ir sons a re coming, look ing (a nd ·1cting) ve ry li ke their fathers. Sometimes a new boys' face makes my hea rt jump. H e looks so li ke another boy of 20 yea rs ago. Of these old boys man y have come back to put shoulder to the wheels and give the o ld school a push upward.

Including Drs. \ Vade and Wade, there are ten here now.

Ma ny othe rs have come and gone, two as H eadmaste rs.

I t wou ld be easy to tell many ta lcs in li ghte r vein abo u t the boys of t hose days, but [ must refra in. L ike Oli ve r Wendell H o lmes, " I do not d are to be as funny as I ca n ." But t he a bove rema rk a bout b ig boys b rin gs to mind t he t rag ic fate o f a new maste r w ho once came to join us. H e ar ri vcd in t he a ft ernoon of the open ing d ay. At that t ime Se ni o rs Juni ors and lowe r class mcn were a ll in the two co mpa ni es. !\ t hese comp a ni es fo rmed fo r d inner in the hadows of St. Mark's C loister, those on t he ri gh t looked so giga nt ic to thi s young master that he Aed in terror, not to be seen aga in .

From t hi s h asty ~ketc h , it may be see n t hat as t he years have sw ift ly passed, t here ha ~ been a stead y ine rca e in number of build ings and student s, and in modern equipment. Thrm1gh it a ll "one increasing purpose runs" , to bu ild a sc hool in wh ich t he idea l shou ld be sound bodies. sound cha ractc r. sound scholarship.
