1928 Howe Military School Yearbook

VOLUME ONE

P ub lishcd by the SENIOR CLASS OF HOWE SCHOOL HOWE, lND!ANA

Dedication

AS a small mark of our esteem for one of Life's greatest treasures; in faint acknowledgment of the

d e bt of Life itself; and be-

c a use of their never-failing love, and care, and sacrifice; we , the class of 1928, dedi-

c ate this volume of THE TA TLER to all Howe School mothers.

Foreword

,i\ S a record of this, our last 11 year at Howe School, we off er the following pages. It differs but little from those TA TLERS which are now a part of the archives covering Howe's glorious history. We leave it then, not in a spirit of ostentation, but rather as an humble contribution to Howe tradition.

Class History

By w. G. HOTTENSEN

WA Y back in 1915, John McKenzie entered the Lower School when he was but four years old. He ripened with the years of experience until now he is one of the powerful men in the class of '2 8.

In the fall of 1916, when the United States was contemplating upon entering the war, Dave Standart arrived at Howe with the sole purpose of attaining knowledge on military science and tactics so he cou ld join the army, but the war ended too soon, and Dave has been around here ever since. He is known as the GRAND OLD GUARD.

The Class Historian came in 1919, with the big snow blizzard. Those who can stretch their memories back that far will recall that the snow that winter was four feet deep. Upon entering the mess hall one day, Captai11 Berlin, the Commandant, asked this recruit his name. "William Hottensen," was the answer. "Put a 'sir' on that," ordered the Captain. The recruit responded, "Sir William Hottensen." Another OLD GUARD.

Things went rather slow until Dom Deligiannis' appearance in the school life in 1922. In the Lower School, he was a star in athletics, and has played two years on the varsity football and basketball teams, captaining the basketball quintet in '2 8. His brilliant record proves conclusive ly that good goods come in small packages. He's also an OLD GUARD.

Came '24, with Neal Baldwin, Dye Carver, Vance Dixon, Phil Graver, Bud Merto11, afterwards called Buster, Wes Neville from Lima, Ohio, John Old, Denni e Ross, Len White, sometimes called Petit, and Bill Putney joined our ranks. The famous triumvirate of Merton, Baldwin and Putney was inseparable. Vance Di xon, from the Kentucky mountains, proved to be a star football player and boxer. Dye Carver was famous for hi s ' honks,' while Phil Graver had the job of bugling and was reported many times for creating queer noises in barracks. The Jones of Dr. Sam Johnson's time was personified by Wes Neville, whose oft borrowed record, "Horses, Horses, Horses," was popular among the Vergil Class. "L indy " John Old who has passed all I. C. S. courses and examinations pertaining to aviation, landed on Williams' Field among the 'jeers' of 250 cadets. Deirnie Ross came laden with pictures from Hollywood of fair damsels and dashing heroes with the ever-pcrsuing villians. Petit White was duly rewarded with a commission and the highest position in St. Vincent 's Guild, because of his perseverance and hard work. You wi ll remembe1· that in this year Howe defeated Morgan Park's mi g ht y basketball :fi ve in a nip and tuck affair, the score being 27-22.

The fall of '25 brought us five prospective officers. Ben Lehman p layed football for two years besides fulfilling the duties of a Lieutenant. Rollie Lett proved to be the Pershing of the class and took Howe School like Grant took Richn1ond , discharging all his tasks successfully, faithfu ll y, and "indifferently." Romeo Renz kept the school vigilant by the frequent visits of his lady friends. (He's been reading Eleanor Glynn's "IT"). Adolph "Guzz" Summers' roaming nose jus t wouldn't stay in place, but that did not prevent his promotion to lieutenant Bud Warren

turne d o ut to be a D ON JUAN. His playing on the c oronet earned him a reputation at hi s a lm a mater. Lest we forget! Howe triumphed over Culver in ba sketball bv the score of 37-3 0. Feas t days were obser ve d, and a new Lower School was promised . . . .

Indian Summ er of '26 brought Durk Boyer, Warner Gillis, Frank Jenkins, Gordon Pai n e, Ca rlton Stewart, C hu ck Tredick , and C. Walter \Villi ams. From t hi s bunch came the editor-in-c hief and bu sin ess manager of the Tatler, a first lieutenant, the brain s of t he class of '2 8, a track star, and a g ood all-around fellow. This year we had a crack athletic department, Coach Coombs h ere for the time. His motto, "Kee p a-going" turned defeat into victory many times.

Bob Barber, Hub Bates, John Clark, Ron Edwards, and Don Jenkins were added to the merry throng of '2 8. This crowd was the most spectacu lar and unique. Hub Bates and his roommate, the comedians of our class, kept the cadet corps in co nv ul sion s because of their w it Barber was a great musician, and certainly knew hi s c hords. He pla ye d ever y thing from a left- banded lute to a doub le-barre led oboe. Jolm Clark from Kansas, esta bli she d an enviab le academic record. Ron Edwards lo ve d music so we ll that he played 'Tm Walking 'Round in Circles" a ll the time. Don J enkins played a s tellar game at both football and tennis \Ve are ve ry sony these fellows didn 't come a year or so soo ner , but nevert hele ss we welcome t hem he arti l y .

This en d s the hi stor y of the class that 's the BEST that Howe has produced and t he one that h as been together the lon gest. This team of '2 8 is bound to suc ceed, and we on l y hope that we h ave made a record scholastically and otherwise that wi ll NEVER be beaten by succeeding classe s of HOWE SCHOOL.

Class Prophecy

BJI DAVID G. STANDART

January 12, 1950.

WHEN I was asked to attend a meeting of the newly organized expedition for the st udy and investigation of the planet Mars, in the Demonstration Hall of the Ford Airport , on January 20th, I was exceedin g l y taken by surprise. I just cou ldn 't think of myself as being connected in a ny way with this gigantic enterprise, one of the greatest and mo st exte n sive of its kind. You can ima gine my feelings when I discovered t h e director to be Charles Walter Williams, t he noted sc ienti s t and past president of the Smith s onian Institute. He introduced me to the eminent sociologist Gordon Paine, w ho had co m e into wo rld -w ide promine nc e for hi s brilli ant and profound st udi es of ccrt:iin ob sc ur e traits of the clement Next, I found a Ii ttle old man behind thickly lensed g l asses, who upon examination turned out to be none other than Lann Neville, an investigator of extratenacit y of purpo se w ho had come from the Universit y of Heidelberg for iust this purpose.

The told me t hat the meetin g wou ld be called to order as soon as Hubert Bates, t he finan cia l back er of the Old Transport Planes, Inc., appeared. It seemed that th is particular t y pe of machine was to be used on the expeditio n , a fact w hi ch

made me vaguely nervous because I had been informed by good authority that it wa s a wildcat organization. Never before had I connected it up with the smilin g, rotund face of Johnnie Old, as ic now beamed at me across the polished table s

We had not been talking long before the door burst open unceremoniousl y a nd the obese banker whom scandal had connected with the great Philippine- Japan sale waddled in and, puffing with exertion, crushed out an expensive cigar as he sank into a chair and banged for order with a pudgy fist.

Shortly it was revealed co me chat chis expedition was purely for the experimental purpose of proving or denying, authoritatively, certain of the recent theories hazarded by one Bradley who seemed co be interested in volcanic origins. The members of the expedition would be scientists, mechanics, and ocher men who were specialists in their fields. A member of che World Church of Christ, the Most and Very Right Reverend Leonard White, would be the spiritual guide and might also be counted on to establish a few new missionary centers, regard less of che present creed of the Martians.

As for my part, the staff wished me to accompany chem as their radio-television expert. Having studied this extensively, and realizing at the same time its tremendous practicability, I had two years before put on the market the extremely compact and serviceable "Standart Radio-Television Set." My work was co keep the expedition in contact with the world, no small contract-for I would have co spend many hours contriving new amplifying apparatus to make my set suitable for the purpose.

Neville's work was to keep us supplied with his synthetic food in gelatin form, put up in large capsules. Each unit has the nourishing value of 180 Shredded Wheat biscuits. By availing ourselves of the discovery we could easily carry a year's supply in a snuff box.

Mr. Neville said chat Mr. Lehman would probably go on the expedition. He had been asked to go but was so busy in his chemistry laboratory that he hadn't replied to the invitation as yet. Also Mr. Graver, now the country's best astronomer, had accepted an invitation co go with the expedition and would soon be in Detroit from which point the trip was to be scarred.

This about completed the meeting except a few arrangements which were being discussed and which must be completed in order co provide for Mr. Graver's apparatus. This was co go wich che expedition in order to make certain important observations when we reached Mars. After this discussion was finished, the meeting came to an end and we all took a large taxi-plane to the cop of che Aero Hotel where we ordered a table for six. As soon as we were comfortably seated we naturally began to question each other. In this way I found out from Mr. Paine that McKenzie was the artist and mechanical draftsman for the Old Transport Plane Co. Lord Bishop White told me chat while he was in New York he had an opportunity to listen co the new symphony orchestra which was brought together and organized by Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Barber, Mr. Merton, and che now famous trumpeter, Mr. Putney; all of whom had climbed high in che musical world. This brought to my mind that Mr. Warren, better known as Bud Warren, now had his own orchestra Also, chat while trave ling through the West, I had met Vanc e Dixon, now commander-in-chief of the U.S. Airport No. 3. This was a very great

honor, as there were only ten main U. S. Airports, by a newly arranged system, and each of these main airports had in tum, one hundred others under their Sltp ervision.

After we had eaten and were about to have our coffee and cigarets, two telegrams were brought to our table and handed to Mr. Williams. After he had read them he told us that Mr. Graver would arrive the next day, which was Thursda y, and that Mr. Lehman had glad ly accepted his invitation and wo uld be in Detroit Saturday. This started the conversation again and I asked Mr. Paine what had become of Mr. Summers and he told me that he was now a retired gentleman, ha ving early in the game made a fortune on several lots of Cleveland real estate upon which large hotels were built. I told him that my roommate of '28, Chuck Tredick, was a successful Civil Engineer in Peru, and that Mr. McCleary of Detroit, had opened a promising career in his Television Theatres.

I don't really believe any of us knew how lon g we stayed at the table, but as the music was good and the li ghts were dim, we stayed on with no thought of leaving and in the course of eve nts, I learned of the whereabouts and progress of the crew of '28.

Mr. Renz of Chicago, Detroit, Lima, Ohio and points east was now sole owner and multimillionaire of the Renz Bakeries, having discovered the art of making bread without flour.

Mr. Carver is the big efficiency expert of the West, now absorbed in wave control on the Pacific ocean. Of course, you have a ll read and heard of Mr. Gi ll is' articles and know of the renowned fame he has gained as owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune.

Mr. Ross, who now lives a few hour's ride from here, in Ca liforni a, is our most popular theatrical man and has just scored a big success in his latest play called the "Crabbing Cocoo."

Mr. Neville informed us that Mr. Stewart was devoting a lif etime abroad to a study of horses, now nearly extinct, and h e also told us an interesting tale that he read in the Atlantic Monthly about Mr. Clark, who made a fortune on some supposed l y wort hl ess stock that he acquired through the brokers of Hottensen & Company, at a bargain price.

It is a lso known chat Mr. Deligiannis, Hottensen's roommate of '28, is now a noted crimi11al lawyer; he decided to take up this profession after observing the actions of severa l of hi s classmates who seemed in need of such professional services.

The Last heard of Nafe Boyer was that he was wandering in Zululand. He never had been satisfied to stay in any one place lon g, and for years had been connected with exploring expeditions of the National Geographic Society.

Conversation began to lag a bit about this time and since we thought we had accounted for all of our classmates, we decided to go out into the lobb y and examine the news of the day, given to us by the television radio. We hadn't been in the lobb y long when w ho shou ld appear on the screen but Roland G. Lett, the broadcaster of the lately estab li sh ed station WFAN, of Foreign and American new s. He told us that he would reproduce the fight pictures of the Red Lewis-McNally fight, in w hi c h Red Lewis lo st his crown after holding it high for twelve years. But w hen we saw the pictures, and when Mr. Lett exp lain ed that Red Lewis was not the fighter's real name, we knew at once that it was Frank Jenkins of '28. Mr.

J.ctt gave us another s urprise when he showed us a picture of Cue-ball Edwards who was c hall en g in g the present c h ampion of 1.8 balkine billiards, Jake Shaffer's son.

fo ll owi n g thi s we all s hook hands and said goodnight, not to meet again until s.iturday wh en Mr. Graver and Mr. Lehman would be present.

f w ill not bor e the reader with the res ult s of the expedition, but wi ll pause to s.iY t h at it pro v ed a ver y great mccess and that I would have made a grave mistake no t t o hav e attended the meeting described. Furt hermo re, I would not have learne d ho w compl et ely successfu l have become the members of good old 1928.

Class Poem

By FRANK JENKINS

ALDENDIFER

Bill is a boy who is good on the track, He meets his opponents coming back. Over the 5.5 bar he skimsIf you doubt it- just ask him.

'Cause he's a bear on the slide trombone; In the band and orchestree.

BALDWIN

GRAVER

And who, oh! who, is GraverThe worry of all cadets. His calls are louder , braver, Than any that Gabriel gets.

HOTTEN SEN

He is proper, neat and hand some. He is proper, wide and tall. If yo u should want a job done, Just give this lad a call.

JENKINS, F.

Now, there's a cadet named Jenkins Blondes, poetry, fights adores. To Byron h e's been lik ened As over his works he pores.

LEHMAN

I pity the gir ls w ho don't know youIt's their hard luck, I'JI say! But if they did they'd beau you Forever and a day.

LETT

At the l1ead of the column he walks, And he walks in a lordly way. He gives you the jumps when he talks, In a voice that is almost a bray.

There is one among our number With a tall and graceful mien. All his high ideals slumber When a pretty femme is seen.

STANDART

Standart's a master mechanicMachinery he throws in a panic. Electrical fixtures and queer sorts of mixturesHis output is simply Titanic.

SUMMERS

ASCHOOL w ithin a sc hool, the Low er is one of the mo s t v igoro u s. a nd vita l part s of Greater Howe. Even though it h as always be e n a separ a t e and di s tinct departm e nt, it h as always been ve r y much in ev iden ce in d emo nstrat ing it s whole-hearted lo yalty and enthusiasm for Howe and Howe's traditions. The se sta t ement s n ee d no proo f Ju st observe the Lower's co ndu ct a t any ath letic contest, competitive drill or pep m ee tin g.

In club football the White seniors defeated the Knick senior s in a sc h edul e of five games. The junior and midget Knicks, ho wever, won their ser ies against the junior and mid get Whites. The entire club football sc hedt1l e resu l ted in the fo llowin g point s tow ard the Lower School athletic championship: Whites 3, Knicks 3. Mr. Graham Pla ce coached the Whites; Mr. Robert Place, the Knicks; an d Father Jennings, the midget teams of both club s.

The White Hall-Howe Hall mid get ga me s were h eart breakers a ll. The midgets won two out of the three-8-0, 6-7, and 6-0. The Thank sg iving ga me , the l ast of the se ries, was w itnessed by an unu suall y lar ge crowd of v isitin g par ents a nd it was well wort h seein g Th e score was tie until the la st quart er w h e n Krawitz, star back for the Midgets, (and a former Lower School pla yer, by the way) put over the winning touchdown by a well exec uted en d run.

The following cadets were awarded letters: Allyn 0., A l ter R., (Capt.) Buracker, Clee, Jenkin s ]., Farr, Shelley, Wilton, Sheron , Edwards, Ely, Kling, Keohler, Perrott E. The tearn was coached by Mr Robert Pl ace a nd Mr. Graham Place.

The se rie s in spe ed - ball went rather easily to the Whites and gave them three additional points toward the ath letic champions.hip.

When the baske tball seas on opened there was a di smal pro spect ahead a nd not m.uch hope for a championship. In taking up his duties as c oach , Lieut. Putn ey found that he did not ha ve as mu c h as a substitute left over from last year's sq u ad. However, as the club seaso n opened, he found that w hat he la c ked in exper ie n ced m a terial, was more than counterba lanced by the pep and ent hu s ias m of the two

squads that reported. On both the junior and senior teams, the Whites defeated the Knicks.

After the club season was completed, preparations were made for a hard school schedule: three games with Lima, four with Lagrange, three with the Midgets, one with Goshen, and two with the Sturgis Whirlwinds. Twenty candidates reported for the first team practice and try-outs. E li gibility rules were str ictly adhered to and cut down what might have been a flawless record. Lower 2L _________ Lagrange 14

Total points: Lower, 270; opponents, 217. Games won, 11; games lost, J. Highest scorer, Sheron, 92 points.

Basketball letters awarded to Sheron, Buracker, Alter R., (Capt.), Engeler, Allyn 0., Clee, Maypo le, Walker I., Perrott E., Alexander, and K li ng.

When announcement was made of the tumbling try-outs, the following members of last year' s squad reported: Bradshaw, Buracker, Wi l ton, Sch lesinger, Shelley, and A l ter R. The new try-outs were: Varnes D., Alexander, Morris E., Perrott E., Walker I., Weinbrenner G., Asko,mis, Yeider, Clinton, E ly R., Edwards J. and W., Mackey and Raiche. At the time the Tatler goes to press, frequent and regular practices are being held in preparation for the Commencement Exhibition.

Baseball, Tennis, and Track are still ahead of us.

To stimu lat e better results in the academic grades among second and third Formers, Mr. Jamieson has offered a pennant and back-board to teams composed of the members of these forms from White Ha ll and Howe Hall, carrying on the old Lower-Midget rivalry. The results have been very satisfactory in that the general average of members of both groups has been raised considerably since the contest started

During the current school year, the McKenzie Literary Society has been in a very flourishing condition with the following officers: President, John Shelley; Vice-President, Robert A lt er; Secretary, John I. Walker; Treasurer, Robert Varnes; Parliamentarian, Robert Patterson; Chairman of Entertainment Committee, Richard Buracker. In the weekly meetings, many interesting topics were discussed. Before the Christmas holiday electricity and many of its various phenomena held the stage. Then fo llo wed the automobi le, the phonograph, compressed air, radio, and television.

Supplementing the work of the McKenzie Literary Society has been the exhibition of a number of educationa l and entertaining movies. These covered a wide range of · subjects: industrial, scenic, historical, and pure and unadulterated fw1 In addition, through the courtesy and generosity of some of the White Hall patrons, an exce llent radio set with power amplifier and speaker has been in almost constant operation

THE A lph a Tau Society is one of the two Literary Societies of Gray Hall. Every cadet is a member of one or the other of these societies during his junior and senior years. Weekly meetings are held every Friday evening and parliamentary procedure is followed closely. The main purposes of the societies are to discuss interesti n g and import ant occurrences, to broaden each member's lit erary mind tl1rot1gh the reading of poems, essays, and short stories, and to accustom one to public speaking by means of short extemporaneous speec hes.

During the year, the two societies hold contests on severa l occasions. The first competition is the Declamation Contest, held in the late fa ll. This is fo ll owed by the Debate in the early spring. The Oratorical and Essay Contest are held just before Commencement. A lph a Tau has shown a healthy growth and an excel lent spirit during the past year. Having won the Declamation Contest and having lost the Debate, it is looking forward with a great deal of confidence to the Oratorical and Essay Contests. The Society is managed by capab le officers under the direction of Mr. Sheets, Facu lt y Advisor.

THERE is an organization at Howe which needs littl e introduction to the ne w bo ys and non e at all to the old ones. It is the Old Guard. To become a mem ber of thi s organization requires a cadet's completion of four full years at Howe. At the end of eac h year a banquet is held at which time the new president, usua lly a senior , is elected. This year, William Hottensen holds that position. Severa l masters on the facu l ty are al so eligible for membership.

The O ld Guard co mmand s the res pect of everyone on th e campus. They know the "ro pes" thoroug hl y and in many ways are ab le to help 01n the new boys when t hey arrive. It is the O ld Guard after whom th e " pleb es" pattern. Their insignia is a littl e chev ron wo rn on the l ef t arm, on w hich is embroidered the words "Howe School O ld G uard, " followed by a number of stars repr ese ntin g the number of years the cadet h as be en at sc hool. The o ld est memb er s of this or ga ni zat ion ar e: McKenzie, Standart, Little, and Hottensen. When a ca det ha s been in residence at Howe te n years, be i s g ive n the honorary rank of Commander and is prese nted with a silver shield

The Band

THE band and orchestra are, without a doubt, the two most successful organizations in school. They owe their success mostly to the untiring efforts of Captain Otho Ling, who is a graduate of Western State Normal, Michigan. He left Morgan Park and came to Howe as bandmaster in 1923, and since then he has built up a music department well to be proud of. It is our hope that Captain Ling will long remain at the head of Howe's music department.

The band, in recent years, has been developed from a rough, solo-playing organization to a smooth, uniform military band. It is not a group of picked musicians, but a group of the only cadets in school capable of blowing into a horn and giving forth music. These cadets are drilled to the highest point of musical ability that is to be expected from the short time they have to prepare.

The band this year consists mostly of members who have worked with Captain Ling for two or more years. It is probably the best band Howe has ever had. Next year wi ll see many new faces in the bandroom because the majority of the band is graduating this year.

The Orchestra

TH R EE tim es during the pa s t school year, the orche s tra has furnished the fines t so rt of e nt e rtainment on the Sunday Night Concert Program. On each occas ion th ey s howed in both ensemble and solo work that they had benefitted by pain stakin g effort on the part of their director, Captain Otho Ling.

Wh il e t here arc seve ral almos t - veter:in members, a large part of the organization is co mp ose d of ca d e t s w ho had never done concert work before and it is for th a t reaso n eve n mor e i emark a ble that a smooth, harmonious and artistic program wa s p u t o n at t h e initial a pp earance in No v ember.

At eac h c on cert g iv en by the orchestra, a decidedly pleasing part of the progra m were t h e v oc al solos given by Mr s. Edmund Jamieson and Mrs. Margaret Yo un g T h e se lec tion s were illwa y s of the sort thoroughly enjoyed by the cadet au di ence

St. Vincent's Guild

FOR many years there has been one group at Howe which is of great importance in successfu ll y carrying on the work in the Chapel. This organization is St. Vincent's Guild. It is composed of cadets who act as the Acolytes and Crucifers, and it is an honor to be chosen for the work. There is one member chosen each week to serve in the Crypt, while for the Sunday service there arc usually three chosen. They assist the Priests in the service and make themselves useful about tlw Altar. This year the honor of Head Acolyte was g iven to \'Vhite, L., whose duties were the caring for the Altars and the training of the new members. The personnel of the Guild is as follows:

The Herald Staff

FEW extra-curricular activities take so much time and conscientious effort as does the weekly edition of The Ho11Je Herald. This is true both as to the Faculty Advisor's work and that of the staff. The 1927-28 Hera ld has been the best that Howe has produced for many years. Besides covering the athletic contests, sermons, military and barracks notes, and other items of local interest, the paper included world news digests, national sport notes, and other items the average cadet ofttimes misses. Also, a series of editoria ls contributed much to tone and dignity. Another feature of special interest to alumni, is the column devoted to alumni news. Also, stimu lating memories were revived through columns captioned "Ten Years Ago Today," "Fifteen Years Ago Today," etc. These contained extracts verbatim from old issues of the Herald. For all of the above, unstinted praise is due Lieutenant Di ll ard and his staff-not to forget the who le-hearted cooperation of our printer, Lester (Cy) Parker.

XNEW' club was organized this year under the guida n ce of Captain Lett. It was founded wit h the hope that all letter men of Howe School wou ld cooperate and promote a higher and truer spirit of sportsmans hip and fellow . ship. The Varsity "H" Club has attempted to show the student body its code, which may be expressed by its motto: "So here's to the toast: 'Be it ever our boast-win or lose, we will play on the square.' "

Mem.bers of former Howe teams are members of this organization, and in years to come, we hope that it will be one of the lar gest club s of it 's kind in Howe School. The old members will be given a chance to tell the ym.inger generation of their days at Howe, and thus a more intimate spirit will be formed between the old and new "H" men. Old l ettermen will always :find a hearty we lcome when they come co visit the schoo l.

The Varsity "H" Club is one of the most distinguished organizations in the school. By contact with its members the new boys are infused with "the Spirit of the Corp" and are spurred on to live up to the example of the older cadets.

The ((Honor Card" Group

Kold tradition, in a new form, was re-established at Howe this year, when the Rector put into operation, the Honor Privi lege system. In brief , those cadets who achieve a high monthly acadmenic average, rece1\le an Honor Card enti tlin g them to certain unusual privilege s during the succeeding month. To Third and Fourth Formers, the Honor Card gives permission in the village Wednesday afternoons bet ween two and tlu·ee o'clock Members of the Fifth Form get vi lla ge permit on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, or they may walk into the country. For Sixth Form cadets, the card carries the privilege of v illage permit, or country hike, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday between two and three. Commissioned officers of the Upper School who cam an Honor Card are entitled to an additiona l afternoon added to their officer's privilege. An Honor Card is forfeited when holder receives a deportment gra de below 8 5, or if he receives more than 15 demerits on any sing le report during the current month.

Alpha Delta Tau X

PHA Delta Tau was originally established over twenty years ago at Tom e School, Port Deposit, Maryland, as a national honorary fraternit y in private preparatory schools throughout the United States. About ten y ear s ago , however, there was a great deal of agitation against Greek letter fraternitie s among boys of high school age. In consequence to this popular disapproval , Alpha Delta 'Tau gave way to Cum Laude as a national organization. The chapter at Howe school was retained as a local honorary society. It has always been a gre;t source of inspiration to those striving for academic excellence.

One of the qualifications for membership is a constant average of eight y per cent., not an easy thing to achieve in these days of College Entrance Board standards. Membership is confined to the Fifth and Sixth Forms and cadets in the Fifth Form are not elected to membership until toward the end of their junior year. When elected as juniors, the same high standard must be maintained as seniors in order to retain membership.

The Rifle T earn

THE winter of 192 7- 1928 marked another point in the advancement of the rifle team of Howe School. The team consisted mainly of cadets who had been members the previous year. Thm, most members were familiar with all proceedings and had merely to start their practice. Under the careful direction of their effic ient a nd never-tiring coac h, Sergeant Napier, the members of the team responded w ith c lean and accurate shoot in g. The roll contained the names of a s•orc of the school's best marksmen, selected with infinite care from the R. O. T C. unit. Cadet Captain Dixon served as the Captain of the team. There is no denying the fact th:tt thi s group of cadets deserves extens ive credit for its 11.o nderful spirit and n eve r-failing faithfulness to spend the afternoons i11 practice at the ra n ge.

Matc he s were fired this year with Junior R. 0. T. C. Units in military aca demics in various parts of the United States. Among these academies were: St. T homas Military Academy, St. Paul , Minnesota; Allen Military Academy, Bryan, Texas; Kemper Military Academy, Boonville, Missouri, and Culver Military Academy, C ul ve r, Indian a Howe also participated in t11e Annual Fift h Corps Area Ga ll er y Match and the N:ttiona l R. 0. T. C. competition for the William Randolph Hearst Trophy. In both of the se matches the team established a fine record for itself by ranking very near the top of the li st.

Howe is looking forward to the Rifle Team of 1929. Over two-thirds of the tea m will be returning to carry on its splendid work. Those who are expected to return are: Dostal, Tersteggc, \Vedemeier, Knox, Little, Ross, D., Bosworth, Varnes, J. , French, and Griffit h.

The members of the 19 28 team were as follows:

Company D

L. Deligianni s, Captain

F. Jenkins, I st Lieutenant Neville, 2nd Li eutenant

D. Boudeman, D. M. I st Sergeant Boyer , I st Sergeant

XTHOUGH "B" and "M" Companies have been drilling excellentl y , " D " Company has had the privilege of holding first place The spirit of the Company has been marvelous, and this has bcC11 shown by the manner in which they drill. The officers helped in the training of the recruits on their arrival in September, but most of the credit must be given to the individuals , because of their willingness to work hard so that their Company should hold first place.

The Dwights have also displayed their ability in athletics Although they did not do so well in the basketball tourney among the three Companies, they did win the football championship of the school. As the Tatler goes to press so earl y, wc are µnable to say how the Dwights wilJ fare in baseball and track. In track wc have a fair chance of winning the Club Meet, because a large number of las t year's veterans are back. However, most of last year's baseball team are out for the varsity, so practically a new team will have to be organized.

CompanyB

L. White, Sergeant Major

R. Lett, Captain 0. Chaffee, 2nd Lie11tena11t W. Bosworth, 1st Sergeant

BECAUSE of the efficiency and fine spirit of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, "B" Company has be en able to maintain a good standing in the Corps. Although not in first place, it has remained consistently in second place.

"B" Company was captained by Lett, and through the splendid cooperation of hi s two lieut enants, Renz and Chaffee, Sergeant Major White a11d 1st Sergeant Bosworth, he was ab le to keep the company on an even standi ng in the Battalion despite the continual shift in command.

The Blakes have alway s been noted for their athletic prowess in all lines. They have been well represented on the Varsity football team as well as in basketball. The Blakes took away the honors in track in '26 and '27, and it is hoped that they will repeat these victories this spring.

Although "B" would enjoy the honor of being in the much-cherished first place, it is infused primarily with the expansion of the "spir it of the Corps."

J. Renz, l st Lieutenant

CompanyM

V. Dixon, Caj1t11i11

W. Hottensen, Caj1/ai11 Adjutant

W. Summers, 211d Lirnle11a11t

L. Umphrey, Isl

W. Putney, 1st Lie1111'11a11f

F. Lehman, 2nd Lie1111'11a11f

THIS year more cooperation has been shown in "M" Company than in other years, and in the end "M" Company will raise itself to the top. Several years have found the Macks in last place in mi l itary and athletics, but the year 1927-'28 has shown a wonderful improvement in both lines. This year the Macks came to life and won the basketball championship with case. Instead of finishing at the taiJ end in football, the Macks developed a spirit which encouraged the team to win two games and finish in second place. In conclusion let us say that in the long run "M" Company wi ll push themse l ves into first place eventually, beca\.1se of t heir determ i ned efforts to win.

The 1927 Football Season

OF a team that star ted out in a lo st and on the eve of a great game found itself, too much may not be said

As in prev iou s years, many of the School's veteran football men gave up a week of t h eir vacat ion to return to the ear l y fa ll training camp. Men from the club teams, w ho had shown their football abi lit y in the spring practice, also showed their loyalty to t h e Schoo l and the coach by returning early.

Before t he t hrill of v ictor y mu st come the stiffness of muscles and the soreness of bruised spots. The fellows at the camp had these ailments and triumphed over them to mold into a vars it y w hich was to tackle the h ardest sc hedul e ever attempted by a Howe team.

When the Cadet Corp s return ed for the fall term, it was perhaps perplexing to them to see h ow far the t eam had advanced towards perfection in tackling, blocking, and other footba ll technica li ties. It was not long before this team was to meet it's first opponent on the hom e field

The game wit h White Pigeon started off a rather varied season Both teams showed a lack of co h esio n. The exhibition on the pan of the cadet team was, to say the least, disheartening. There seem ed to be missing that abiJity to produce t he power just when it was most n ee ded. A 6-6 tie was the re s ult.

The next game was with Concordia Co ll ege and the fir s t half of the Consta ntine game proved to be of t he same nature. In the second half of the latt er game the Maroo n and White te am found itself, played real fooball, and produced the first win of the season. Score, 18 - 0. At Gan-ett the so-ca ll ed second ceam h ad its chance to s ho w of w h at it was made, whic h it did in a fighting, scrapping manner, ro ll ing up a score of 2 1 - 0 aga in st it s opponent

The team was ind ee d facing a cris is. No Howe team had ever been found lackin g in fight, and it was fa r beyond this va r sity's wish to ha ve its record ma1· the name of the School and the C oa ch .

The week before the big ga me of the seas on with M. P. M. A. on FoLLnder's Day was one of trial. But the fe llo ws had found themselves. They refu sed to be ca lled qu itters, an d although the Morgan Park team pushed ove r three touchdowns in the first h a lf, it was a fi g hting Howe team that held th em score le ss the second half and score d itse lf in the fina l period. In thi s game, Schnack, one of the stro ngest backs on the team, was disabled so badl y that he was lo st to the squad for the rest of the season.

The ne x t game with Hi ll sdale Co llege Freshmen, was a wa lk - away for the Fros h; ho wever, the team put up a fight ag ainst overwhelming odds. The second misfort un e of the seas on came in this ga me. Putney, captain and quarter-back, received a broken nose w hi c h kept him out for the rest of the games.

Ho ldin g Fort Wayne C. C., which was doped to win and had playe d some of the be s t tea m s in the state, to a sc oreless tie with a now badly crippled eleven, the vars it y came to its la st game w hich was pla ye d at Goshe11 with one of th e be s t teams u1 No r t h ern Indi a na T h e entire Corp s went to this game. The Goshen line proved to be a bit un y ielding; therefore, mo s t of our long gains were made

arouJ1d enJ and by long passes. Two blocked punts were disasterous for Howe and resu l ted in two easy touc h downs. The game went to Goshen, and thus the season was brought to a close

For many p layers this was the last game for Howe, and they p l ayed it with that time-honored Howe spirit.

So, here's to the toast: "Be it ever our boast, Win or lose-we wi ll pl ay on the square."

THE SEASON'S SCORES

PUTNEY, Quarfl!rback

Putney, captain and quarterback of the Varsity of '27, although put out of the running in the early part of the season by a broken nose, proved to be an inspiration to his men all through the rest of a tough schedule. The loss of "Bill" in the backfield was greatly felt, and his around-end gains and broken field running would have added a much needed touchdown (n.ow and then) to our score. We thank "Putt" for buoying up our hopes when the chances looked the sli11m1est. In spi tc of his tough breaks, he wiJl go down in the anna ls of Howe as one of her fighting captains.

BuRT, Half back

"Red" Burt, captain-elect of the team of '28, played at halfback this season. Much is expected of "Red"; he has a real position to fill, but one look at him in action puts one at ease so far as his capability is concerned. No matter bow injured Burt is, he will stick to his teammates and do his share towards a winning score. What more can be expected of a captain?

As many have done, Harry rose from the Clubs. His example of spirit and aggresiveness should be an inspiration to the present clubmen who will some day wear the Maroon and Wl1ite for Howe on the Varsity.

JENKINS, F., End

Frank was a specia lt y man on l ong passes. A lon g pass from Lawyer to Jenkins in t he M. P. M. A game gave u s a touchdown. "H i- Jenks" was lo st to u s in the l ast two ga m es beca use of a spra ined ank le However, Jenkins is co min g b ack ne xt year to help Warren win the Morgan Park game.

DELIGIANN IS, Ha lf back

"Deli" was one of the scrappiest li ttle backs ever to play on a Howe te ;un. Never comp la ining and a lways endeavori n g to gi ve his all to the team in spite of hi s lack of inch es and pounds, "Skeeter" had t h e lasting stamin a t h at must go into the makeup of eveq rea l footba ll pla yer. His never-fa ili ng good-wi ll sha ll al ways be re m em bered.

D 1XON, Guard

Dixon, a veteran guard from l ast year's stro n g line , li ved up to his forme r r eputation b y holdin g u p t he r ig ht sid e of the line against all opposition throughout t he season Quiet, una ss uming, an d yet a dependabl e and st urdy man to h ave in the line. "Vance" w ill be 1nissed next year. T he last two seaso n s ha ve proved him to b e a va lu ab le member of t he team.

LETT

Goo d old "Ro ll y." If spirit wi ll do it , " Rolly" wil l make the all -A me rican some day. He d idn ' t a lways "get" his man, but he sure was after him every minute of the ga m e and w h en he connected there was no more gaini n g by that man for a whi le. "Ro ll y" was a plu gge r a nd w hen his oppo n ent fina ll y hit Lctt's pct C harley Horse and got him mad, h e fou nd "Ro ll y" all over him We wi ll sure miss hi s sm il e and hi s spirit in years to come. Lett leaves \JS wit h two stripes on hi s sweater. Good wo rk!

MERTON,

Fullback

"Tubby" Merton, although rather large, al ways seemed to be where he was most needed. This knack of carrying a number of extra pounds through a small opening in the line earned for "Tubby" his position at fullback. It was mighty cheering to hear Merton's voice spurring a tired line on to a touchdown. A good sport that boy; a fine smile too.

WAllltEN, End

"Bud" was a new addition to the Varsity. His size and former experience on the Clubs made him a man to hold down his berth on the team. He played a steady and hard game which was characterized now and then by a spectacu.lar tackle. Ask "Bud" who is going to help win next year's M. P. M A. game.

ScHNACK,

E., H11lfbach.

A veteran of three seasons, Ellis had the breaks against him this year. At ear ly fall training camp, the coach found that he had in Schnack some very fine backfield material, but E lli s' bright future was nipped in the bud when he was seriously injured. Schnack has two more years to go, and much is to be expected of him.

GRAVER

"Phil" is to be highly commended for his excellent show of spirit at all times. He was ah ays a fine example to the rest of the team, and because of his hard playing and neversay-die spirit this year, Graver won his "H." \Ve will miss you "Phil."

LEHMAN, Center

For two yea rs " Ben " h as pla ye d at the po si tion of center. It is h ard to find a rea ll y goo d center, but Lehman always managed to get the ba ll to th e right m an in the backfield. It is not easy to b e pound ed on the he ad and put the ball into the rig ht man's h a nd s. However, "Ben" liked to be hit because it gave him a c han ce for a come ba c k. We' ll miss Lehman and his stead in ess n ext year.

BOYER , E 11d fl11rl !111/fback

" Nafc" played at end and hal f. At both these positions h e did very we ll. W hen it came to eat in g passes out of the air, Boyer was on t h e j ob. "Nafe" gave a ll h e h ad w hene ver i t wa s requ ir ed of him. His abi liqr to run t h e ba ll himself and stop chose attempti n g to pass hi s territory wi ll not s oon b e for gotten.

HOTTENSEN, G1111rd

Good ol' "B ill !" We' ll not soon forget "Ha tty" and hi s eve rl ast in g goo d -w ill and play in g abi li ty. Like many other s, he came up fro m the C lub s and, in spire of thi s bein g hi s :first year, won hi s sweate r. This is Hottensen's la s t year at How e, so we bid h im good bye and good lu ck.

LOEBER, Ha l fback

Pau l , a veteran of last year's victorio u s team, pla ye d a good game at h alf . His exper ie n ce and coac hin g of last ye ar de .vc lopc d him into a stro n g defen s ive and offensive pl aye r. C::is compete nc y in picking hole s in the opposing line was a big factor in all the ga m es in w hi c h he pla ye d Loeber w ill be back next year.

G 1uFF ITH, G uard

Many things are expect ed of Griffith next year. He won hi s "H" t hro u g h hard plu gging, and we believe he w ill have earned a sweate r at the en d of next year's season. Griffith filled in nice ly at guard w h ere he will undoubt edl y play ne xt fa ll.

SNAREY, Halfback

Snarey ha s two more years in which to show his "s tuff. " If he keeps on with the same det ermination h e ha s sh own this year, he wi ll cer tainl y "s hine " as a s tar back.

K INGSTON, Tackle

Kingston, a former Bl ake man, brought to the varsity a qu antity of good spirit and foot ball abi lit y. In sp it e of bein g out we ighed by man y, h e stopp ed 'e m a ll. Kingston will be with us next year. Hit them so they stay hit , "C ha s."

BATES, Tacllle

Bates, although a n ew man, did some fine work in holdin g down the l ef t sid e of the lin e at the po sition of tack le His quiet ways, w hile pl ay in g, held a rather si ni st er aspect for hi s opponent. He was a hard hitt er an d played for the jo y of playing. He leaves u s thi s year. So lon g, "Hub ."

ALTER, Tack le

Among those w ho came up from the C lub s is "Ni ck" Alter. Not very large, yet hi s ability to tack le made him a fine defensive man, and his driving power on the offense helped the team a great deal in the Garrett game. More power ro yo u "N ick."

BALDWIN, G1111rd

"Ba ld y's" unceasing effort and indomitable spirit won him a place on the team and a sweater. He is a lad to be looked up too for, although he did not start in all of the games, he was always ready to go in and give his all to the team. \Ve know rhat he will play the game of Life that way, too.

BoswORTH

"Joe's" exce ll ent spirit, his interest in the team, t h e c heerful and ready way in which he sacrificed his time to learn the game is to be highly praised. Although he did not have the opportunity of showing his ability, we arc sure he has the s tuff and will get many chances to show it ne xt year.

LAWY R, H11/fbaclt

Lawyer was a new man this fo ll , and a mighty good find an all-around player. He showed up especia ll y we ll in the backfield. John ha s a couple of more years with us and by the time he graduates we hall expect to sec severa l more stripes adorning hi s sweater.

J EN KI NS, D., G uar d

Don did h is bit towards fi llin g up the r ig h t side of the line. He was a bi g man and a hard o n e to e lude. He will long be remembered for hi s wi llin g ne ss to work, a nd the fine spirired way in whic h he did it. He grad u ates this year, and hi s position will be a hard o ne to fi ll.

Ross, Tac/de

"Cliff" Ross wi ll st rength e n the team of next year a great deal. H is aggre ss iven ess an d abilit y to tackle a nd tackl e hard were a constant help to the t ea m. Much is expected of "C li ff," and we kno\v he' ll do hi s best toward s makin g ne xt year' team the be s t.

SCHNACK, H., Bacllfir ld

Between the two Schna c k s, the y would be able to form a rea l combinat ion. " Hank" Schnack , a lth ough one of the you n ges t men on the team was a hard man to sto p He is a hard tack ler, and wi th the ex perie n ce h e has ga ined this year h e s hould sho w up exceed in g ly we ll n ex t fa ll. He l1:1 s two more yea rs to go . Keep up the goo d work , "B ud. "

RunsAM, Ta ckl e

Rubsam played a strong ga m e at tackle. Wit h t he experience he h as gai ned this seaso n , ad d ed to ne x t year's, he wi ll be a hard man to stop, as well as a tough one to avo id

ALEXANIAN, Halfbt1c/:1..

Anot her Ii ttle m a n is "Alex." It is easy to see that in him the varsity of the next two years or more, are to have a man a lmo st identical to "De li ." The same fight, the same spirit, and the same ab ility to cover gro und in an amazing lack of time are the offerings A lex has for the teams of s ucce eding years. Good lu ck, boy.

THE 1928 BASEBALL SQUAD

Review of the Club Football Season

THE :first week in October, the club coaches ca ll ed their teams together and found there was a great deal of va luable material pre se nt. This year Father Jennings was appointed coach of the Macks in order to see if their losing streak could be stopped. The Blnkes a lso boasted a new coach, w ho came from the far-off state of Texas, namely Coach Snow. From the east came another new face among the club coac hes. Mr. Underhill. It was he who turned out the w inning team for this season The Dwights repeated again this season in bringin g home t he bacon, but only after a hard fight with the Macks and Blakes. Usually the club teams are not evenly divided, but this seaso n found all teams with about the same c lass of material.

The first game brought the B lakes and Dwights together, and dmin g three he ct ic quarters both teams showed the lack of practice. During the la st few minutes of p lay the Dwights intercepted a Blake pass and made the only score of the game, thus bringing the first victory home to the last year's champions.

A week later, the Macks met the Blakes and surprised the entire sc hool by winning their :first game in severa l seasons by a score of 12 to 6. The Macks showed the other teams they were to be feared throughout the season becau se of their excellent line plays which brought gains every time they were used on the Blakes.

The third game brought the two leading clubs together and the Dwights won an easy game from the Macks. During the first h alf, the Dwights ran wild over their opponents and rolled up 19 points. The Ma cks seemed to be asleep and nearly eve ry time the Dwights had the ball they made a score. During the second half, they woke up but were unable to score, and the game ended in a 19 to 0 victory in favor of the Dwights.

A week later, the Dwights again defeated the Blakes by a score of 13 to 0. The work of Stoler and Boudeman showed that the Dwights were on their way to another championship. However, during this game the Blakes showed some wonderfu l plays and much iniprovement over their last game.

The Blakes surprised the school by defeating the Macks when Bloch took a Mack pass out of the air and ran for a touchdown and also the only score of the ga me. Dming the last few minutes of play the Macks u se d everything they had, but failed to move the Blake line.

The Dwights with the championship under their belt s, pl aye d the la st game with the Macks and expected an easy victory, but a. II of a sudden the Macks deYe loped a fight that was unbeatable and they left the surprised Dw ight s far behind Eve ry ti me the Dwights reached the Mack goa l line the Macks stiffe ned and turned them back. Then late in the game the Macks marched down the field once more and this time, Summers carried the ball over for the first score of the season across the Dwights' goal li11e. A minute later, Summers again went through the line for the extra point. This was not all of the scoring because Stewart J. was ca ug ht behind his own goal line shortly afterward and a safety was the result. This closed the seasort 's most inte resting club game, w ith a score of 9 to 0 in favor of the Mack's.

So ended one of the best seasons the clubs hav e ever witnessed. A lar ge part of the interest was du e to the three coaches who devoted many hour s of their spare

1,me rn the reams. It was only through thei1· efforts that a keen rivalry was <'ta bli shcd at the beg i11ning of the season and held throughout Later the club coaches picked an All - Club eleven. Players elected to thi s team arc considere d the cream of the clubs. Many of the111 we w ill sec on the Varsity wit hin a year or t wo .

A R.eview of the Basketball Season

IN this year's team, there is to be seen the foundation of the teams of future years. With but one veteran of last year's Varsity, the almost wholly green team made an exceptionally fine showing all through. It had its slumps as well as its more brilliant moments, and the heroic way in which it dragged out of the slumps wi ll not soon be forgotten, in fact the team will never be forgotten, for no Howe team with real fighting spirit ever is.

Deligiannis proved to be the mainstay of the team; he was also given the honor of captaining it. At running guard Skeeter did exceptionally well in helpin g to break up the opposing team's offensive when it got that for. Tubby Merton, playing at floor guar d got in so me fine footwork. In spite of hi s severa l poLLnds, between him and DeJigiannis, the matter of guarding was pretty well filled. Moi·gan, a rangy man, proved to be a fine center. Because of hi s hei g ht a nd canny eye for the basket his power was fully felt by the opposing teams. Morgan's "right-hand man," so to speak, was Bud Warren, also a tall boy. Buddy, wit h the help of "Red" Burt at left forwa1·d, was able to sink quite a few. All three of the e men wi ll be back again next year and naturally great things are expected of them. The so-ca ll ed "second string" proved to be exceedingly strong At center, there was Stoler, a strong defensive as well as offensive man. Holding down the forward positions were Wally Maner, an uncanny shot ; Clark, a very fast man. Both of these men were new to the team this year and the experience they have gained wi ll sure ly gain them a berth on next year's first team. At the guard positions, there were four excel lent men, Boyer, who wit h Schnack and Merton, s hift ed at first string guard, and Umphrey and Snarcy, two of the yo un gest and cleverest players on the team. A lthou g h Pearl had been s ick during the first part of the season, he finished strongly and strengthened the team considerably. It is easy to sec that with such good material there was a good deal of s hiftin g done. Every player was kept on the jump because of the keen competition A great amount of credit is due Coach Coomb for the fine team he turned out of comparative ly green men. It is a certainty that next year he may rightfully expect to have a team to send to the tournament of prep schools at the Univcr ity of Wisconsin.

The basketball season opened with a game with the A hley High School. Ashley had p layed eight games when we met them and it was to be expected that our lack of practice wou ld result in a dcfcnt. The second game occurcd after the Christmas holida y, with St. C harl es School at Co ldwat er. This proved a rather easy victory for the Howe ream.

Next, followed a practice game with the Sturgis Baptise team, a speedy aggregation composed large ly of members from the 1927 Sturgis High School team. They came to Howe and added another v ictory to our Ii t.

The Lagrange High School team was our next opponent. The game started off with a rus h and continued as a hard fought contest right up to the final whistle. The score was held even until within a few minutes of time. Then Howe suffered the misfortune of having a star center taken out and Lagrange forged ahead

Howe's traditional rivals were met in the fifth game. The team went ro Sturgis full of hope and confidence but we re unab le to put over the w innin g basket, all that wou ld ha ve been necessary to cinch a v ictor y after a hard , clean game. In the return game, however, the story was of a better hue , and with Sturgis on our home floor, the cadets were able to make it a tie series by winning through a safe margin.

Howe lo st the next two games. The first was with Ft. Wayne Central Catholic and the second with Lagrange High School. There was little humiliation in either defeat, howe ver, as the Ft. Wayne C. C. was a seaso ned aggregation of veterans and the Lagrange team was one with state c hampionship aspirations, wit h months of practice behind it. Then the losing streak was broken once more by a brilliant v ictor y over the fast Green and White team from Sturgis.

Angola, which by the way, qualified for the finals in the State Championship, came to Howe next with a team that worked like a perfect scoring machin e. With that sort of a combination to face, Howe entered the game with small c han ce of making any showing w hatever. They more than rose to the occasion, however, and after holding them to a tie score most of the first half, finished the game but little behind.

It is unfornwate that Howe was unable to meet Morgan Park. A game had been schedu led, but owing to a mi sundersta ndin g or a lapse of memory on Morgan Park's part, it had to be finally arranged as an aften10011 ga me The team started out early enough but the bus developed e n g ine trouble and they never arrived After waiting along the road for severa l hour s they returned to sc hool.

Club Basketball Season

THE Macks once more repeated their performance of the la st two years by winning the Club Championship in b asket ball for the seaso n of 1 92 8. The Blakes finished seco nd with three defeats and four wins. This season saw the haughty Dwights fall into last place w ith five defeats and one victory

As 11sual the Macks suffered but one defeat at the hands of the Blakes. In this ga me the Blakes held the Macks score le ss for the seco nd half , and finally defeated them 16 to 7. The Macks have a perfect alibi becau se two of their regulars were out of the fray because of injurie s received in earlier garnes with the Blakes.

At the close of the season, the Dwights surpri sed the sc hool by winning their only game of the season from the Blakes, an d thus lowerin g the hopes of the Blakes for the championship. During this game Gillis showed his teammates a little of his old scoring ability of 1927, and, :ifter a h ard fought contest, lead his men to a 13-1 2 victory.

Th e be st game of the season was staged between the Macks and Blakes early in rh c seaso n In this contest both teams s howed ample scor in g power and showed rh cv we re to be feared throughout the season. The climax of the fray deve lop ed in th e. fourth quarter with the Macks trailin g by five points. They immediately open ed up and tied the score and then forged into the lead, but soon the Blakes ti ed the score with only three minutes to play. Once more the Macks took the le ad and held it unti l the whis tl e blew giving them the right to the best club b asket ball game of the season. The final score was 18 to 17, and was the most nerve-wrackin g game of the season for players as we ll as audience.

This year Mr. Bauernfeind and Mr. Sheets coached the c hampion s hip Mack t eam. The Blakes were coac hed by Mr. Snow, and the Dwights b y Mr. Underhill. These coaches deserve a great deal of cre dit for the success of their teams, and a lso for the genera l s u ccess of the C lub Basketball season.

Thi s year the c h ampions were l ed by A lexan ian. He played a constant game at forward. Brodie, Hottensen, Summers, Pifer, and Stetler made up the all-star quint e t The reason for their victory i laid to the fact t hat this team was ab le to work in unison and form a strong defensive and offensive team.

The Blakes were led by Lett, who played a ste ll ar game at g ua rd. Cejka, Maiullo, Krawitz, Thompson, F., a ll of l ast year's Lower Sc hoo l team, played with the Blakes and gave some pretty exhib iti ons of basketball.

Thi s y ear Gi lli s l ed the Dwights and wit h the aid of A ld end ifer and Durst, pla y ed a pretty game, especia ll y at the c lo se of the season.

On Wa shington ' s birthday, the Varsity-All-Club game was played, a nd repeatin g again this year, the Dwights, having played the best game of the Clubs, earned the ri g ht to play the l ast quarter against the Varsity second team. Severa l teams wer e pla y ed outside of sc h ool by the Macks and they scored a victory in. a ll but one out side con test.

DELIGIANNIS

Deligiannis is the sma ll est, yet one of the finest g u ar ds Howe h as had for some tim e. Because of hi s experience and playing a bilit y, "Skeeter" h ad t h e honor of being captain. In sp it e of hi s lack of h eig ht , by hurlin g hi s body into the air, Deli giannis was a bl e to c h alk up his shar e of po ints for th e cadets. His abi l ity to get in and und er a sw iftl y dribbled ball was pretty to sec We lose old "Half Pint" this year and w i t h him goes one of the cage iest basketball players Howe is going to have for some time.

MERTON

Again, we h ave "T ubb y"

Merton To see Merton cafl'y hi s few pound s into precarious positions was a pleasure to on lookers He held do wn the g uard pos i tion in a spectacular way: eve r y now and then he wou ld slip out of h is po sition to advance the Howe score by severa l digits. Same old Merton; sa m e old smi l e.

MORGAN

To "S m oky" Morgan went the task of getting tbe tip-off , and it was very se ld om that he fa il ed in hi s job His heig ht n a rurall y was an asset to the team , ad d to this a canny eye for th e basket, as we ll as spee d and you ha ve Morgan. "S m okey" ha s a noth er year. With thi s year's exper ien ce, he should be a n excee ding l y va luab le man Here's lu ck, " Gene."

MANER

"Wally" Maner came to the Varsity from last year's club champs, the Macks, and proved to be an exceptiona l find. Since his arrival at Howe he has been noted for his basket shooting. All it took was a Ii ttle training and Maner developed into a real player. He should be able to make his berth on the first string next year. The best of l uck, "Wally."

S l-INAK

E ll is has a basketba ll form that is pretty to watch. Being a canny sh ot, and very speedy, Schnak did some clever guarding. He very often interchanged with Merton or Deligiannis. At these times he showed beautiful form and was a formidab le opponent. Ellis has two more years in which to show his abi lity. Go to it, boy.

WARR.C:N

Warren, one of the veteran of bst year's team, played the right forward position wit h great zeal. His speed, shoot ing ab il ity, nnd :fi n e defcn ive work had to be continua ll y reckoned with by the opponent. His dependabi lity and hard worl stood him in good stead for a rather tough season. "Buddy" will be back with us next year, and because of his cx:pcrience will be one of the mainstays of the team. Good luck, " Bud."

BuRT

"Red" Burt proved to be one of the best of forwards. In sp it e of the largeness of his pedal extremities, Burt covered plenty of ground in SLLrprisingly short ti.me and his ability to find the basket in a shorter time, made him a va lu ab l e man. Burt will a lso be back next year to help add some victories to Howe's li st of achievements. "Red," just reta in that same old fight

Bo YER

"Durk" played a fast and consistent g:ime at guard. His passing and footwork were as those of an expert and he was often ca ll ed upon to strnt J1is stuff. It was seldom that N afe let anyone in for a close shot at the basket. His h:ird work and cleverness at the game w ill lon g be remembered. Grad-1 ua ti on takes Boyer this year. In him, the team had a real player. S'long "Durk."

UMPHREY

This was "Larry's" second year on the Varsity, al though not very large in stature, he was quite capable of holding hi s own aga in st larger opponents. His fighting spirit and flashy speed made him formidab le. He has one or two more years with the team and sho uld be a fine player inside of one year. Keep up the good work, "Larry."

SN AREY

O ne of the yo un gest men on the squad , Snarey, is by no means a pl aye r of little ability. He was very skillful in br ea kin g up a fast offensive atta c k. He a lso ha s t\\ o more yea r s and w ith the skill he h as ga ined so far, coup led with th at of another ye ar , he s hould be on e of the outstanding players Howe h as in the future.

CARY !\

"

D ye" was new on the team this year and played a neat game. Although not fl as hy, h e w;is unwaverin g ly co n siste nt , and s ho we d up very we ll in the games in wh ic h h e parti cipa ted. It is a s ham e that Carve r wo n 't be ba c k n ext year, for wit h t h e promi se he s ho we d this yea r , he would b e in va luable to next year's tea m. Goodby, to yo u an d your honk , Mo by.

STOLER

New to the Schoo l this yea r and laborin g und er a misfortune, Stoler did some brilliant work at center. He proved to b e one of the best sho ts on the team a nd a g rea t many of Howe's points were nin up by "Bo b." A very swift man, wit h lasti n g tamin a, Stoler s hould be a con iderable as et co next year's team.

CLARK E

This is Gilson's first year too, and in a year he may well be proud as far as basketba ll is concerned. C larke show ed fine headwork in all of the games in which he played. He was always entirely unassuming, full of spirit and never a crabber. He is a fine examp le of what the club teams turn out. He will no doubt fill in a much cherished forward position next year. We like your spirit, son of Howe, keep it up

The 1927 Track Season

THE Howe Track Season of 19 27 was featured by two meets of importance. They were the Annual Inter-Club Fie ld Day and an Invitational Meet with Lagra n ge High School.

Coach Coo mbs ca ll ed for candidates early in Apri l, and by the first of May, a very credita ble squad was in training and s howin g fine prospect s for a s ucce ssfu l season.

The C lub Meet was held at Williams Field on Ma y 21st The Blakes again repeated as winners, w ith the Dwights seco nd , and the Macks trailing. Probably the out sta ndin g s t a r of the meet was Bob Metz for the Blakes. In addit ion to being high-point man for the meet, he estab li sh ed a new record for the j ave lin throw of 130 fee t T he results of the C lub Meet follow:

The Rover Boys at Howe

With all clue resji!'cf to Victor Aj1pleto11

CHAPTER I

HEY, Dick! Howdy, Tomi Well, good old Sam! This jovial gathering is composed of the three Rover boy s on their way to Howe. Dick, the eldest, is a great football player. Ask him. Tom, the next of age, also plays good football and is a natural American boy, full of the pep and vigor of youth. Sam, the yo ungest, is sma l l but pow erfu l, with the very dickens in his eyes. Oh, he 's just a terror. So much for the boy s, we will now watc h them go down to Howe and run things

"}forr:i.h for Dick," s hout s Sam and Tom in loud ejaculation, as the olde st Rover pushes the conductor off the rear platform.

"Now, let 's go back and rip up a couple of more scats," thi s from Sam, the little dicken

As the train pl.ills into Howe, Dick look s out of a broken window and secs rhe whole Battalion with band and nil, just waiting ro embrace him and hi s two wonderful brother s.

"H urrah for Dick," shout s Father Todd, the grand old man of Howe.

Major Edwar d s and Father Young take Sam and Tom aside and tell them ho w g lad they arc that they ha ve come to Howe to i·un thin gs and so ends this first c hapter.

CHAPTER II

"Well, Dick, here we are at good old Howe. Oh, we're just going to love it," savs Tom

Being tired from their quiet journey, the loving lad s go into the arms of Morpheus, but sleep cannot quench the fun-loving Sam, who at two o'clock in the morning da she s down and rings the fire bell. After the others boys find out who ha s done the de e d, they break out in loud g uffaw s of l a u g hter.

CHAPTER III

"Rover, give us the first declen s ion, " this from Fat her Todd.

Whereupon Dick gives the Gettysburg address.

"Fi ne! Fine, Rover! No delinquent for a recitation lik e that."

After a few days in military trnining, the se three bo ys ha ve mastered e cry detail.

"Co me, Tom, let u s go out and show Coach Coombs our way of playing football," this from Sam, the di cke n s.

Whereat the tJ1ree Rovers da s h out upon the field and carry the ball for touchdown after tou c hdown through the :imasscd first and seco nd reams.

IV-Fm T GAME

"H urrah! Hurrah! Rovers! Rovers! Rovers !"

O ut da sh the fun-loving lad s. The whistle blow s. Tom ha s the ball. Down

field he goes! He's down! He's up again! Dick clips the first man, whi le Sam with the very dickens in hi s heart proceeds to gouge the eyes of the opposing fullback.

The game is over, the Rover boys prance in to the s howers with a ll the glow of youth. The score is 170 to 0 in favor of Howe. The Rovers did it all.

CHAPTER V-DlCK lS MADE A SERGEANT

"Well, Rover! How is everything?" !his from. Major Edwards. "Fine spirit! Great, in fact! Why, Mar·vclous! Well, Dick, for your fine conduct, for your manly courage, I am goi n g to make you a sergeant. Do you think you could hold the position?"

"Yes, sir, " Dick answered with great zea l, "but don 't you chink that Sam or Tom deserves it more than myse lf? I wou ld gl:tdly give it up to them."

"We ll , I believe I'll mak e them corpora l s," Major Edwards responds.

"O h, hurrah! Cherrio! Chcrrio! Cherrio!" shouts Dick in hi g h g lee.

So the boys are seen in their respective positions on the drill field.

"Say, Dan Ba xter, the ne xt time yo u knock my musket from my hands I sha ll chastise you."

"Oh, go crus h a hon bon, " cries Dan Baxter, the bully of Howe, in derision. Whereat, Dick plants a well aimed blow beneath Dan's bcl t.

"No fair, no fair," cries Dan as he grove l s in the dust. "Dick Rover, I'll get you for this," shouts Dan.

"Good bo y, Dick!" cries Tom. "Next time hit lower!" s hout s Sam .

And the Major l aughs at these boyish prank s good natured l y. "Haw, haw. "

l-IA!'TER VI-T1-1E FEED

"Let's throw a feed, Dick," says Tom.

"S ur e thing, it 's not allowed so let 's do it," cries the fun-loving Sam.

"We can h ave pop and cakes, and the goody-goodies which mamma ha sent us."

So after taps the boys have a great feed in their spaciou su it e, inviting the whole sc hool , including the Lieutenant in c har ge of the building.

Dan Baxter tells some masters of the proposed spread, and as he and hi s cronies wait for the masters to arrive, they li sten with watering mouths to the " h, goodies," and muffled g uffa ws issuing from the room, but the masters fai l to arrive so the bully's plan was trampled under foot.

CllAPTER VII-GOJNG HOME

At la st the time co me s for the great vacation. Down the streets of Howe parades the battalion, with the Rover boys perched hi gh upon the s hou ld ers of the cadet co rp s.

"We ll , !om, I guess we're pretty goo d l" says chc modest Dick.

"Oh yes, we certainly ha ve lT ," says the fun - lo ving Sam, as he kick D. n Baxter in the mouth .

Once more on the train the boys 1·cnew their pranks w hi ch consist of ripping up scats, breaking up windows, and oh, just having load s of good, clean fun, much to the amusement of the other passengers.
