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

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

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
