1929 Howe Military School Yearbook

DEDICATION

BECAUSE fatherhood is the ultimate goal of most of us; because a devoted father is a boy's best · friend; because a father's ready help, noble sacrifice, and gentle guidance is a priceless preparation for life; we, the Senior Class, dedicate this Tatler to our fathers.

FOREWORD

THIS publication, a cross section of Howe school life, is a permanent contribution of the Class of 1929 to Howe School tradition. It is their wish that you find it worth reading.

Hello, folks. How's everyone? Say, George, these people in the audience must be dead-they don't answer-and you know that reminds me. Today I passed a place right outside of town that people are ju st dying to get into. Yeh! uh! huh! They call it Roselawn Cemetery.

The History of the Class of I 929

By FRANK M. LITTLE, JR.

BEING the on ly member of the class to have seen a comp lete revolution of the manner s, customs, and regu lat ions of Howe, I have been chosen to record this history.

Seven years before the first publication of thi s annual the author, after a long and tiresome journey, strode weari ly onto the campus, having wa lk ed the entire di stance. It was way back when the Lower School was quartered in the present Administration Building, which s ur ely must have been named that in honor of Father Jennings, who administered many a demerit with the ever-present paddle. A few members of the class can remember th e old building as well as the paddle.

After five years came Don Boudeman a nd Joe Bosworth, who arrived with the id ea to succeed in the schoo l. Don with his myriad of violins, mandolins and banjos, and Joe with his leat h er heels and experience in Chicago warfare, caused much envy among the cadets.

In 1922 seve r a l important memb ers arrived, which included Larry Umphr ey, Jack Burrows, and Harvey Kimerly. Larry, the so ldier of the class, acqu ir ed his military ab ilit y not on ly by drilling during the military period, but a lso by playing so ldi e r during the recreation period. Ah, those were the clays! The author recalls an incident during a mighty snow battle between the Knicks and Whites, when he, in the h eat of the fight, struck Captain Preston, the referee, in the face with a snow ball. He can't quite remember whether or not it was accidental, but anyway he escaped punishment by u sing George Washington tactics and confessing the breach of military etiq uette.

Jack Burrows is the outstanding lad , who on all great days, including Government In spection, is Officer of the Day. Jack has a winning smi le and a word of enco uragement to a ll. Harvey Kimerly, a resident of Grand Rapids, h as an unusual record, start ing with the Lower School Tumbling Team and finishing by wearing a s ilv e r button on his collar.

In 1923 came Paul Loeber and Philip E l y. Paul has made a name for him self in the c la ss, showing his grit by playing football with a broken s hould er and ·trying all the harder to put the ball over. Good luck, Paul! Phil Ely is a very happy -go-lucky cadet with a great memory for names. Test him out some time. He could tell you the first, la st and middle name of every cadet who attended the sc hool during his six years as a student, hi s home address a nd telephone number.

Dye Carver arrived in 1924 and is marked by this sing ularit y, being the only member to arrive that year.

In 1925 the class waxed ·strong and mighty, adding to its roll Bob Johnston, Bill Chamberlain, Harry Burt, Eddie Griffith, Bob Wedemeier, Campbell Gray and Johnnie Burleson. Bob Johnston, the boy from Samia, Canada, in three years learned the Upper Sc h oo l well, and creates an atmosphere of laughter wherever he goes by his witty speec h es. Bill Chamberlain is one of the daring members of the Virgil class who knows his lin es

I ,

He is a ce lli s t of futur e promin ence and play s th e baritone for vari e ty. Henry Burt h ai ls from New York and h o ld s a first se rgeancy in military lif e and as an ath lete is captai n of e verything. Eddie Griffith, th e g r ea te st man in the cla ss without a doubt (in s i ze), loves to write l etters and ha s the laugh of Old King Co le him s elf. Bob vVedemei er, th e billiard shark, who is hopefully waiting for th e priz e w hi ch h e won last year in the tourn ey , i s a ls o an exce ll ent rifl e s hot, and woe be unto an enemy in range of Bob' s rifle. Campbe ll Gray, the devout, has suc h a d ee p vo i ce that h e is often mi stak en for the major. Johnnie Bur leson comes from South Dakota, and h e and Cam are both so ns of we ll known bi s hop s, whic h mak es them we ll known lik e wi se.

In i926 seve ral famou s memb er s of th e cla ss arrived. Bi ll Kno x , th e class jester, and Len Jahnke, hi s inseparable buddy , a r e both co l or se rgeants, and tJ1ey s ur e know their s tripe s . They work together in a ll they are r equired to do and arc nev e r found one without th e other. Herbie Sc hl es ing er wa s the greatest bu s in ess man that Howe h as ever known, and has had mor e bu sin ess than the average toll ga te co ll ctor. The others who h e lp ed in co n s tructing the backbon e of this illu s trious clas s arriving that year, w er e Dav e Hue s ti s, the ca det who attributes his s ucce ss to hard work alone, and believe s that fame may be won so lely by thi s method. "Leo," a lia s "Co ll ege Board" B loch, never is see n without so m e book on Co ll ege Board s tati s tic s, and ha s app li ed for pat ent s on hi s new inv ent ion, w hi ch co n sis t s of a book wit h lumin ous print which may be safe ly and convenient ly studied afte r tap . "Smokey" Morgan and " Long John" Cu ll ey arc the two l ongest and l ean es t m emb e r s and may b e seen fr e qu entl y att empting to o utr each eac h other. George Gage is the s trong es t man of the cla ss and ha s a weakness for the gymna s ium

During the author's fir s t year in the Upper Sc hool, Frank lin Douglas, ever dr eaming of Marian, ar ri ved, never aying much , but a l ways with a full mind , mad e known hi s pr ese n ce at How e. Don Ca rl os McC lea ry and \Na rd P if er, the two mail m n, are in clo se competit ion for t h e reputation of receiving the mo st lette r s of any cadet in th e c lass. Both are di sappoint e d if they do not r ece iv e at leas t a do ze n a day. Harol<l M il es from " Linkain," Nebraska, added much to th e r eligiou character of th e class H e know s religion from A to Z, and expects to h ave a pari s h of hi s own so me clay. Ch ar li e Muell e r may be r ecogni ze d at eve ry danc e by hi s partner , who i s, I be li eve, less than four feet tall. This year th e c lass ha s developed to it s apex in quantity and all favorable qualiti es The best g r oup of cadets e ver to be graduated from th e a lma mater was complete w h en Reel Lamoreau x , th e mo t cheerfu l and likable chap in th e cla ss, and Jim Stambaug h, the great authority on parliamentary law, appeared on lhe campus.

The famou s cla ss ha s not on ly mad e hi s tory in Howe, but will continue to carry on their already a tounding accompli s hm ents and make world history as the next great s t ep in lif e.

The Lower School

Dear Joe: White Hall, March 25, 1929.

I have been having such a pleasant time here at Howe thi s year that I have not had time to write you.

The Lower Schoo l, where I live, is a school within a school. vVe are a separate organization, but are working hand in hand with the Midd le and Upper Schoo ls for a bigger and greater Howe; I'm proud of it.

One of the things that I first remember about the schoo l wa the weiner roast, whi:ch was held back of the Lower in tht: bunkers. vVe had a lot of fun and plenty to eat.

In the ear ly fall our club football practice began in earnest a nd there was much competition for positions on the first line . The Knick and White Senior and Junior teams fought for the club football trophy. The ICnicks won the cup. The first team was coac hed by Father J en nin gs, R. Place coached the Knicks, a nd C. Learned coached the Whites.

Of course the greatest excitement of all during the football season was the ann u a l Lower - Midget contests. There was much fight and pep displayed on both sid es, but sad to relate for u s, our friendly rivals, the Midgets, won two o ut of three games. The three games were:

November II-Lower 6, Midgets 6

November 24-Lower 6, Midgets 7

Thanksgiving Day-Lower o, Midgets 7

The boys who received their let ter s in football were: Alexander, Ai1drews, Cus hing, Edwards, ·w., Haviland, Ib e r, Maypole, Raiche, Reid, Runnals, Thompson, Varnes, R., \Vhit e, Wilkens and Wilton.

The annual football dinner was given in the Lower School February 4 1 by Rev. E. T. Jennings. The eve nin g was a great s uccess, as the guests included the Midget team and their coach, Mr. Morris, also the Rector and Mrs. Young, to say nothing of the r est of the dignitari es of the camp u s

The general soc ial Ii fe in the Lower is int erest ing. On vVednesdays and Saturdays we have a littl e time to ourselves. We have our own movies of ed ucational and int eresting nature; but hav e gone over to Blake Hall a few times to see pictures of especia l interest.

At some time during the past month s eac h of us have had a chance to go to Sturgis and hav e one of Grady's famous malted milks. Gee! they're good.

The Lower Sc hool basket ball team had a very s ucce ssfu l season, and a lthough in all of their games they have been ou tweigh ed and decidedly outaged, they hav e come up from behind and won in the la s t few minutes of play. The boys were so fast that bright s uit s had to be purchased for them so that they could see each other.

The boys on the sq uad that r eceived the bright suits are as follows: Capta in Wilkens, Alexander, Maypole, Smith, F., Cushing, Vvhite, Askounis,

Edwa rd s, \V., \Vil ton and Iber. Other members of the squad are: Jones, Raiche, Nourse and Manager Haviland.

The team ha s a very enviab l e record, having won four out of five ga me s w ith Stu r gis, taking th e cup from the Lima team with a five out of six win, and defeating the Midgets tw o out of three games to kc p the pennant in White Hall for another year.

The fir st tea m in basket ball (a ll Knicks) was coached by Mr. R. Place. The White b as k et ball s quad was coach ed by Mr. Learned. The ·whit es wo n th e club basket ball season.

We also have a Lower gymnastic team which is working in preparation for th e Jun e ex hibition Sc hl es in ge r, M ., is assistant dir ector, and th e old bo ys in stru ct the b eg inn er s in how to do rolls, whizzers, etc. The s quad , afte r many cuts, consists of Andrews, Askounis, Clinton, E dward s, W., Haviland, Ib er , J o n es, R., Morris, W., Nourse, Raiche, Sc hl es in ge r, M., Smi th, J., \Vhi te, E., \ i\T ilt o n, Patterson, H., Diserens, and Maypole i s proper t y man.

If the squad improv es rapidl y enough, an exhibition will be g iv en before the Exc h a nge C lub at LaGrange, Incl. Don't you think that would be nice?

I h ave also been in on the McKenzie Literary Soc iet y, which meets eve ry Thursday eve ning und e r th e able guidance of Mr. Gordon S unbur y . We h ave put on pl ays. So yo u see, Jo e, that we are on deck and up and at it a ll the tim e.

We hav e baseball, t enni s and track yet to do, and believe me, th e Lower will not be at the tail encl of th e line in these sport s e ither.

I hop e thi s lette r ha s in so me way mad e up for m y slown ess in writing yo u before. Your friend JA CK.

THE exce ll ent work of Mr. Hai s ley in dramatics, and th e high standard of play se lec tion s ha s be e n carried on this year by the dramatic soc iety in tw o worthy performances.

On the six th of December, "The Valiant," by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlema ss, and the "Pot Boiler," by Alice Gerstenberg, were presentecl before an enthu s iastic audience in Blake H a ll. Tl1e work of Harvey Shepard, Stanley Hay es, and Jay Pozz in th e tense drama of the warden's office, is s till worthy of not e, as are th e antics of John s ton and McDonald in the trave sty which followed

A similar co ntra st in plays wa offered on the sixteenth of April by Lord Dun sa ny' s "A Night at an Inn," a nd "The Marriage Proposal," a hilariou s comedy from th e pen of Anton Tch e koff. Again the audience r es ponded with a torrent of applau se It is to be regr ette d that th e enthusiasm of certain younger members of th e audience slackened the emotional tautn ess of the dramatic "Night at an Inn ." However, the rescue by the brilliant group of actors of the suspense of the situation and th e s uperb skill and tage pre se nce with which they offered the school a performanc e not easily to be s urpa sse d, add but another laur el. If one excellence rose above another that evening it was the work of Clifford Ro ss , who, as the tempery, pompou s, emotional Tschubukov in the Russian farce, raised shout after shout of glee from the already delighted battalion.

The fea s t wa s held at the Guild Hall on the second of May, to celebrate the year's work, and complete, by the election of officer s and laying of tentative plan s for the next season, the lively reorganization of what was within th e memory the Howe School's most flourishing extra-extra activity.

THE Alpha Tau i one of two lit era ry soc i e tie s in Gray Hall. Every member of the ftfth and s ix th forms be longs to one of the se 01·ganizations and participat es in th e activities. Meetings are h eld on Friday evenings in the living room of the Upper and Middle Schools.

The main purpose of having the soc i eti es is to train th e m e mb e r s to be able to s tand up befor e an as . embly and talk, and also to appreciate literary se lec tion s and criticise th em. Programs are made out by a committee especially selec ted for that purpo se. Every m e mber of the societie s mu s t take his turn in giving ome reading or talk, which he may choose at random. Originality is. tressed; the boys are urg ed to write their own compositions and sometimes ex te mporaneou s talk s and debat es are f ea tured.

Mr. Sheet is the faculty advisor of the Alpha Tau, and the soc iety owes much to him for hi s kind co-operation at all time s in a sisting in the preparation of a ny program. It is hi s duty to choose and coach boys entering into the various lit erary activities, as well as to s upervi se the activities of the society it se lf. The Alpha Tau ha s had a very s ucces s ful pa s t, is doing good work now, and much is anticipated for it s futur e.

MH. MORRIS b eca m e tht new Pi Delta faculty adv iser this year in the place of Mr. Haisley. He has d one much to improve the lit r a r y sta nd ards of the society by reading each week an ext r act from some book written by a prominent author.

The Pi Delta lost to the A lph a Tau in th eir first e n co unt er, the Declamat io n co nt est. The Pi Delta was well r ep r ese nt ed by Cadets Roney, S n a r ey, Kimerly, Stamba u g h, and Chamberlain. Cadet Roney placed second, and it is h oped that we can put forth some more goo d material, su ch as we had fo r the Declamation co nt est, in the coming events between th e two societies.

The programs given by the cadets h ave been exce ll e nt a nd much c r ed it shou ld be g iv en Cadet Bosworth for hi s good work. There have been severa l exc h a n ge programs between the two societies, and the se l ections presented by the A lph a Tau were much enjoyed by the members of the P i Delta.

The ranks of the old members were thinned considerably at Commencement las t yea r, so that there were only a few who were e li gib le to vole for the class office 1·s, the new members not being allowed to vote for the respect ive offices Cadet Burrows was el ected president; Cadet Bosworth, vice-pres id e nt, and Cadet C hamb e rl a in, secretary. Cadet Bo worth was also e l ected ch a irman of th e program comm itt ee

The Old Guard

WHEN patrons a n d new boys come to Bowe in the fall for th e ir first visit, they will naturally observe the uniform of the cadets . Then perhap s they wi ll sec a cadet in hi s garrison uniform. Perhaps rt.he old boy whom they see wi ll have severa l in signia on hi s left arm, and, being inquisitive they vv ill ask so meone w hat the var iou s in s ignia represent. Among the representative insignia perhaps is t h e in sig ni a hear ing the words, "Howe Sc hool O ld Guard," on a n ova l shaped piece of cloth in the middle of the left sleeve, in the center of which a r e a number of s tar:; repre se nting the number of years in sc h oo l. Upon further in vestigation th ey wi ll learn that the " How e Sc h oo l O ld G u ard" is composed of cade t s who h ave atte nd ed Howe Schoo l for four years or more. T h e m emher s of th e O ld Guard may be la r ge o r small, but la r ge o r s m a ll , th ey ha ve grown to love th e old sc ho o l, a nd to h o nor , respect and obey to th e ir best abilitie s the tradit ion s and r eg ulat ions of th e sc h oo l.

The member s of the sen ior class last year, who had been in th e schoo l eight yea r s or more, were presented a shi eld and were given the h o n orary rank of co mm a nd ers of t he O ld G u ard. In the class of 1929 three cadets received lhi s distinction. They are Little, Boswort h and Boudeman.

The Band

THIS year's hand ha , been , without a doubt, as good if not better than a ny other band eve 1 , een on the school parade ground. It has been a well balanced band, and every member ha played hi s part to the be st of hi s no mean ability throughout the seaso n.

The mu s ic offered by the band this year has been of a high e r grade than that of mo st amateur bands, and for the s ize of the unit the volume has been s urpri s ing, not only in the marches, but also in the inspection numbers-waltzes, serenades, and characteristic pieces.

Severa l band men are leaving Howe this year and among those, Warren, the fir t trumpet, s urely de se rv es a vvord of praise. Johnston is another veteran who merit s the high es t commendation for hi s work.

Too much cannot he said of the ceaseless and untiring efforts of Captain Otho Ling, the bandma s ter, who ha s made s uch a fine band possible. The ba nd' s confidence in him as bandma. t e r ha s only been s urpa ssed by hi s confidence in the band, and as long as Captain Ling r e r:nain s at Howe the band wi ll continue to flouri h

The band members have e njoyed every minute of th e ir band work at Howe and wish all succeed in g Howe Schoo l band s t h e best of luck.

FOP many years the sc ho ol orc h est r a ha s played an imp ortant part in the li fe of the schoo l. It is under the direction of Captain Otho Ling and it is du e to hi s effo rt s that the orc h es tr a h as prospered so.

The orc h estra gives thr ee conce rt s during the sc h oo l year in which Mrs. Margaret Young Jones or Mrs. E. S. Jamieson arc featured as so lo ists . In addition to this the o r c h estra plays in chap e l and at different schoo l a nd local functions.

T h e season has been unusually s u ccessfu l for this organ i zation , hut it is to the regret of a ll conce rn ed that severa l of the members are leaving Howe this yea r. \rVarren is to leave us this year and we are particularly sorry to see him go. He has filled a needed place in the trumpet section for fo ur years Chamber l ai n at th e 'ce ll o and Little on the clarinet are veterans of several years' experience whose serv i ces will be mi ssed also.

Any article on a n y How e Sc h oo l musical organization wou ld be in co mp lete without a word about Captain Ling. He has been at Howe for six years and has developed th e musical lif e of the schoo l wonderfully. Vie wish him many more prosperous years at Howe.

The Varsity "H" Club

THE Howe Varsity "H" Club was organized in the fall of r927, and since that time it has filled a large place in the campus activities. The charter members of the club were the members of the 1927 football squad and members are added after each athletic season, the fortunate cadets being the ones who obtain their varsity "H's" in each separate sport.

The man behind the organization of this club was Mr. Selden P. Coombs, our director of athletics from 1926 until March of the past year. To him belongs all the praise for founding this all-necessary organization .

The members of the club pay clues of twenly-five cents a week and with this fund they have a dinner during lhe yeai-. They are permitted lo wear an emb lem on their sleeve, showing their membership in the Varsity "H."

The presi<lent of the club this yea r was Harry Burt, in cidentally the captain of the 1928 footba ll team. Hurd Warren, our athletic and musical P. G., was secretary, and Ellis Schnack, treasurer. The other members for 1928 - 1929 were:

The club is composed of abo ut twenty Uppe r Schoo lers who use their spare time for practice. Much credit is due to Mr. S h eets for hi s work in connect ion with the c lub and we wish him the best of lu ck with future Upper 'School Glee Club s.

"INaccepting membership into the Officers' Club of Howe School, I pledge myself without reserve to maintain the ideals and standards of · Howe Schoo l , to fulfill all duties entrusted to me, and to use my best endeavors to upbuild the life and spirit of the corps." Thus runs the pledge of the Cadet Officer's club. The student membership of this club includes the commissioned officers and first sergeants of Gray Hall. The honorary members arc the Rector, the Commandant, and tactical officers of the school. The purpose of this club is to better the school in every possible way-this being made possible through the cooperation of the student officers. The club was organized in 1926.

The Rifle Team

r[HE rifle team ha s always been an important part of the military life of the schoo l, and this year's team ha s not been any exception to that tradition The team this year, captained by Frank Little, ha s had an unusually fine record, winning a very large per cent of its matches. In the annual fifth corps area match the team scored 6,764 points out of a poss ible 8,ooo, and in the match with our ancient rivals, Morgan Park Military Academy, the score was decisive ly in our favor.

Too much credit for th e s ucce ss of the rifle team cannot he given to Sergea nt Glickstein, whose unfailing efforts have made possible the splendid record made this year.

Several of the best shots of this year's team will leave Howe this June, but there are others who have been sh owing great abi lity during the past year, and we tru st that they will return next year to help carry on the good work. Among the graduates who wi ll be missed are Little, Knox, Wedemeier, Morgan, and Griffith. Some of the most promising of the cadets who will be at Howe again next year are Ross, Varnes, Alter, and Hayes.

The following made up the nineteen twenty-nine team: Knox, Little, Hayes, Wedemeier, Ross, McC lelland, Kimerly, Morgan, Bosworth, Buracker, Beyrer, Enge ler, Griffith, Varnes.

ALTH OUGH D Company ha s dropped back to seco nd place from first place which they held last year, the spirit of the caclels ha s been exce llent. The comm issioned and non-commissioned officers should a lso he commended for their efficiency and efforts to bring Company D to the top.

The football season closed with the Dwights in third place, but we feel sure that they will distinguish themselves in basket ball, baseball, and track. The ea rly elate at which we go to press makes it impossible to state how successful th e respective teams will be.

During the pa. t thre y ars Mr. Coombs h as turned out some of the best ath letic team · that Howe ha s ever put to field. His super i or knowledge and training made him fit to p1·oduce winning teams. He was we ll lik ed, good natured, and capab le. "Coa ch" w ill long remain in the memories of the cadets, espec ia ll y the member s of the teams, who had a more intimate contact with him in their daily practices.

CoACII SNOW, Assistant Coach

The Howe e l even had a forward wa ll that cou ldn 't be beat n this season, and it was clue lo the untiring efforts of Coach Snow. He worked hard to develop a line that wou ld hold on the offensi vc and "break through" on the defensive. By the time the season opened, h e had prod u ced a powerful offens ive and defensive machine from some "g r een" material, mo t of the line having had no Varsity experience. V./e trust that h e will be with u s again next year to carry on the good work

MIDGETS-CI-IAMPIONS

Review of the 1928 Football Season

AGREAT many of the Cadets gave up from two weeks to a week of their vacation lo come to footba ll camp and learn so me of the inside st uff on the ancient game. Some of the las l year's varsity squad were back, but the club s sent the majority of men. The eleven that Howe put into field at the frrst of the seaso n was li ght and it faced one of the s tiffe st sc hedule s that could be had.

In the opening game with Jackson Junior College it was apparent that the lightness of the Howe team was made up by the fast moving backfield. Howe Jost this contest 7 to o, the lone touchdown being score d in the first quarter by Jackson on a long pa ss.

Th e second game saw a much improved team sweep to their first victory of th e season over the Fort Wayne Catho li c Ce ntr al.

The Goshen eleven triumphed in the third game over the Howe "vVi ldcats." The score, 12 to 6, indicates ju s t how even ly matched the two teams were, and it wa s on ly after a littl e "tough break" in the third quarter that Goshen was able to sco re again on Howe.

Jackson played a return game with the "Wildcats" on Founders' Day, and it must be sa id that it was one of the finest games of the year as far as fight and determination was concerned. The fighting spir it of the "Wi ld cats" brought them a touchdown in the last few minutes of play, just when it seemed as though everything was lo st.

The "Wi ld cats" journeyed to Montpe li er for the next contest and after fighting "uphill and down" for most of the game, lost by a lone touchdown sco red by Montpelie 1· after they had blocked a Howe punt. This was just one break that a team has to face during a eason and it just couldn't be helped.

Howe went by motor bus to Morgan Park for the next tilt on the schedule. The field was a sea of mud and the "Wi l lcats" went clown to a 24 to o defeat. They played hard aga in st their old rivals, but Wallace of the M. P. M. A. team, was too much for them. He scored three of their four touchdowns - and was a great mud runner. The team missed the se rvice s of E. Schnack, who was out of the game on account of injuries.

In the last game of the season a rejuvenated Howe team ran wild through the hitherto but once defeated Hillsdale High eleven, running up forty-one points to the twelve of Hillsdale. Capta in Burt was back in the game after having been out most of the season from injuries recei vecl in the first Jackson game The fighting "vVildcats" wound up a very successful schedule, and although it was handicapped by injuries, the sp irit that the team showed brought them through succes fully whether the score indicated it or not.

BURT, Halfbacli Captain

Harry filled the position of captain this year with remarkable abi lity. His long end runs and dashes through the line were a lways sure to gai n ground. During the ] ackson game at the opening of the season, Burt wa injured and was not ah le to play again until the Montpelier game. But he finished tJ1e season with th good old "Wi ld cat" spirit, and lashed hi s way through the Hillsdale e leve n for two touchdowns. An injur y to his arm in the next two o r three plays made it necessary for him to withdraw from t he contest, and Engq ui st took hi s place. Burt sh ou lei be placed in the front rank of the captains of Howe el evens, for he certain ly did hi s bit and performed adm irabl y.

SNAREY, Halfback Captain-elect

The Varsity c h ose 'narey to lead next year's team, a nd they certain ly picked a good man to fill this coveted position. He was a lwa ys "th ere" on pas. es, and it was a lon g pass from Schnack, E., to narey, in the Ft. Wayne game which brought the lone touchdown of the tilt, and enab led us to come home in front of the visitors. B ill was always in the thickest of the fray, fighting hard, and when he hit an opponent they always remained ju . t where he lack led them. We feel s ur e that Bill will do all that is in hi s power to bring n xt year's elev en through the season with co lor s flying.

GR 111F1 T 11 , G uard

"Edd ie" was a plunging, fight in g g u ard who broke through the opposit ion many times and spo il ed many \.veil int ended p lays. His vacant place will be hard to nil.

Sell NACK, E.., Halfbac!?

"E lli s" was a fast man on th e offe n se a nd a hard hi tter on the defense. Hi s l ong, sweep in g end runs always brought some gro un d, and hi s passes were right to the mark. "E lli s" h as one m ore year.

P I FER, Ce nt er

"'vVard" mad hi s pas es s ur e, acc ur ate and ri ght where t h ey were wanted. On the defense, h e was eq u a ll y as su r e on th e tackles, and it was se ld om, i f ever, t hat a man go t throu g h hi s portion of th e lin e.

ALEXAN l AN, Q 11ar/ erbac ll

Little "A lex" was a cracke rja ck of a qu a r terback. H e was fast, tricky on hi s feet, and cou ld tuck the punts und er hi s arm and go for long ga in s down the field. "A l ex" st ill h as t wo more yea r s.

Sc 1t NACK, H., End

"Ha nk " s h owed up well this yea r and never let a man circ l e his Rank. He nailed opposi n g backfie l d men in their t ra c k s, and h e was a lways d o in g hi best.

Ross, Center

"C li ff" worked h ard this yea r and his sp irit did the work As a r e l ief m an he was exce ll e nt , a nd h e invariab ly made s ur e that h e was in every p lay, br ea kin g up the oppos iti on.

K1NGSTON, Tac/lie

Kings t o n played a good, a ll -aro und ga m e of football. He was a good sport, took hi · knocks lik e a man, a n d n ever failed to g iv e hi s best to the team "C ha s" was in every play in every way, and we h ope that h e w ill be with u s next year to help the team to victory.

BoswoRTH, Tackle

" J oe" was quiet, goo d- natur ed, and a d ead-eye on the tackles. He gave eve ry o un ce of fight h e had toward bringing Howe h ome o n the winning s id e. vVe'll mi ss "Joe" next year.

LOEBER, Fullbad

As a fullback "Pa ul " was h a rd to beat. He always found the hol es at the ri g ht time and the old "vVildcat" s pirit was to be seen in hi a t all lim es. Even when h e was injur e d in the Jackso n ga m e, h e r e fu sed to give up until th e coach lo ok him out.

WARREN, End

It was "B ud 's" spi rit of ch ee rfuln ess a nd p e r s iste nc e that ga ve the t eam the punch that was needed in th e tight plac es This spirit, tog e th e r with hi s ex peri enc e of pa s t yea r s, made him an end that will n eve r be forgotten as long as a Howe eleven is put to fi e ld .

LA WYER, Gitard

Lawyer's weight and pow e r gave added s trength to the l e ft side of the Howe lin e. "Johnny" stopped many an opposing backfi eld ma n befor e he mad e a gain. Keep up th e good work, " John."

MORGAN, Halfback

"Ge n e ' s" h e ight and lon g arms were big factors in gett ing th e passes to th e ends and backs, and with hi s big st ride s he covered the ground in no time, always acco unting for so m e ya rd age.

ENGQUIST, Halfback

"Ge ne" was a n ew man thi s yea r, but h e showed up very well in every game in which he took part. Hi s s pec ia lty was long end run s, which were constant ground ga in e r for th e " Wildc a ts." \IV e' r e so rry to lo se "Ge n e."

THOMPSON, Halfback

" Thompie" was a m emb er of th e famous "pony backfield" which played havoc with Hill sda l e, and with another two or thre e ye ars befo r e him , he should become one of our be s t back s.

ALTER, Q uarterbad

Although "N ick" was small and light, he made up foT it in hi s lightning -lik e speed. He could cover th e ground quickly and handle the ball lik e a veteran. Much is expected of "Nick" next year.

TERSTEGGE, Tackle

"Joe" developed into a good, hard-hitting, fi.ghting tackle; he never m issecl hi s man and always gave his best to the learn. He' ll "be there" next year.

KRAWfTZ, Halfbacfl

"Leroy" was another powerful man in the "pony backfield," and with the ability and speed that he showed th is yea r, h e ought "to Aash" next season

McCuLLAGH, End

"Mac's" sp1n t during the eason was unb eata ble, and when he got hi s chance in the Hillsdale game one could see that he had the "goods."

GRAY, Tackle

Gray deserves a lot of credit for the fine spirit h e kept up at all times, a lthough he didn't get a chance to play.

BRODLE, Quarterback

"Andrew" worked hard to get a position on the "pony backfield," and when be did perform his bee-line runs proved too much for the opposition. More power t o him next year.

WEDEMETER, Ta,ck l e

\ i\Tedemeier got hi s "H" thi s year, and he certain ly d eserved it, for he playe d hard and s howed wonderfu l sp i rit throughout the entire season.

Bouou-rAN, Halfback

Although "Don" didn't get a ch ance to participate in any of the games, he was faithful to the team and seldom missed a practice, for which he shou ld be given a lot of praise.

KIRBY, Tackle

From the expe ri en ce h e ga in e d thi s yea r , Kirby o ug ht to m ake a first class lin e man for the team n ex t yea r Go to it, Kirby.

MATULLO, End

Ma iull o, a former Blake man, s how ed that h e h a d the right so rt of sp irit a n I pep. This will go far toward s he lpin g him in th e yea r s to co m e.

VARSITY SQUAD

Review of the 1928 Club Football Season

FOR the first time in twenty years the Macks won the football championship of the clubs. They worked hard and played a fine brand of football throughout the entire season, losing only two of their eight games. The Blakes started off the season with a bang, but after losing some of their best material, fell to the wayside and finished in second place. The Dwigbts were slow getting started, but after their third game, they straightened out and threatened to take the lead from the Mack s ,

The Blakes took the season's opener from the Dwights, 13 to o. Both teams played hard, but the Blake machine couldn't be stopped, and they rolled up two touchdowns on their weaker opponents.

A week later the McKenzie's powerful team swept through the Blakes in the second game to the tune of 12 to o. The Blake aerial attack in the last quarter proved their undoing, as two of the passes were intercepted, resulting in touchdowns for the Macks.

The Dwights were t11e next victims of the attack of the Macks, and the determined Blue and \"7hite won 8 too. The game was played for the most part in Dwight territory.

Another defeat was in store for the Dwights when they met the Blake eleven the following week. This victory of the Blakes' put them in first place, but their triumph was short lived.

The all-powerful Mack eleven received its first setback at the hands of the Blakes in the fifth game. This game was one of the best on the schedule, and it was full of good football. The Blakes' lone tally came in the first quarter after a steady march down the fielc1. ·

Mr. Unclerhill's improved Dwight eleven staged a comeback again s t the Mack s in the next tilt and fought them to a standstill. Neither team was able to score clue to the fine defensive game played by both teams.

The following Saturday saw the humble Dwights crush the Blakes in their third encounter.

Mr·. Bouton's Gold and Whites were slowly losing the valuable ground that they had gained during the first of the season, ancl on the next Saturday they went down before the Mack aggregation; they scored two touchdowns, one in the first quarte1· and one in the third.

The Blue and \i\Thite were again defeated in the ninth contest. This was the Macks only other defeat of the season. It was the Dwights who won out over the invincible Macks. The game was closely contested and resulted in a 7 to 6 score.

Saturday saw the Dwights and Blakes engage in a scoreless tie game which put the Dwights out of the competition for the championship.

The Blakes were again downed by the Macks in the crucial battle of the season by a score of 13 to o. This victory of the Macks put the Blakes .out of the running, and their only hope was for second place.

In the closing game the Dwights and Macks fought to a 6 to 6 tie.

Review of the Varsity Basket Ball Season

THE Maroon and v\Thite basketeers had a fairly s u ccess ful seaso n, winning eight out of thirt ee n sc h ed ul ed games. Fourteen games in all we.re played, but th e fir s t one with th e Sturgis Yellow Jacket s was not on the care!. The syste m of a lt ern a ting captains eve ry game proved to be quit e a good o ne, Harry Burt and Eugene Morgan s hould e ring thi s duty.

Th e S tur g is Yellow Jacket s gave Howe it s fir s t opposition in a practice game, a nd " the bo ys" brou g ht in their :first victory. They looked rather ragg ed at the tim e, but lat e r, und e r the ca reful eye of Coach Coombs, many of their faults were e ra se d.

Ash ley was the fir s t sc heduled g ame for th e "Wildcats," and th ey turned in another victory over th e Ashley quintet on their own floor, the final sco re being 22 to 14. Burt, Morgan, and Snyder did the sco ring for the Maroon and White.

On the following Friday eve ning, Sco tt was s nowed under with a barrage of ba sk e ts by the fa st moving H owe five. Th e score, How e 43, Scott IO, indicat es ju s t how well "th boys" were playing.

Coldwater was th e ne x t vi ctim of the "Wildcats." Th e "A" team ran up the sco r e during the fir s t half, and was replaced in the seco nd in favor of the "B" team, who did mighty good work against St. Charles, allowing six ba s ket s while caging thr ee them se lve s to make the final score 2 4 to 16.

Next vVccln es clay evening saw th e Howe quintet receive th e ir first setback at the hand s of the fast International Business College t eam from Ft. Wayn e The game was well played and it wa s doubtful who wa s to be the victor until th e final whistle ended the fray 14 to l I in favor of International Business College.

The s ixth game brought together Pleasant Lake High and Howe. It was rather a s low game, fill e d with a great many foul s. Only three baskets were made during the entire ti It, th e re s t of the points being registered on charity s hot s

Anthony \/Vayne of Ft. Wayne, gave the "Wildcats" another taste of defeat the following week, but it was not until the last quarter that they were able to do anything, clue to the close guarding of Lawyer and Schnack, E. The score was even until the final period, when Anthony Wayne made it 23 to IO.

The Maroon and \i\Thite five made it six victories and two defeats by trampling over the Bron so n High aggregation to win 33 to I I. "Long John" Culley took the place of "Smoky" Morgan, who was on the sick list; and Jet it be said that "Long John" did some fine work.

The "Wildcats" journeyed to Ft. Wayne the following Saturday, and were defeated 14 to 4 by the team from Ft. Wayne Catholic Central. The game lacked offensive power and speed.

Coldwater played a return game with Howe on their own. Hoar, and were again set back, 38 to 13. Morgan, Burt, and Warren starred for Howe with a total of 32 points.

The cadet five lo st to the strong Or land team by the close score of r 7 to rz. The Howe quintet, led by "Smoky" Morgan, held to their slim lead until the closing minutes of the th ird frame, when they were overtaken by Or l and's powerful offensive attack.

Howe's fighting "W ild cats" drew blood when they traveled to Ft. Vlayne and defeated Anthony \Vayne, 25 to 16. They were in l o gain revenge for their previous defeat, and with the h elp of Morgan's uncanny shoot in g, they rode to vi ctory.

On the next Saturday, Morgan Park Military Academy won a close, hard fought ti lt from "the boys," hut they h ad lo fi ght every inch of the way to gain their laurels. The final score was r.+ to 1o.

The final contest, staged with the International Business Co lle ge on their own Aoor, was the fastest and most aggressively played game of the season Bot h teams were ab le to Find the basket, as s hown by the 43 lo 30 score, but Howe lacked a bit in the defensive lin e. Thus the squad finished up with a total of 305 points to their oppo n ent s' 238.

Individual Basket Ball Tally for 1928 and 1929

Varsity Record

The Squad

"Harry" is known throughout the sc hool for hi s uncanny side-s hootin g, and many a basket h e has stmk just when the team need cl it most. Burt was co-captain of this year's five, and he. certainly deserves credit for piloting the "Wildcats" through a successfu l season.

SCHNACK, E.

"Elli s," a veteran of la st year's squad, played an excellent game at guard, and it was se ldom, if ever, that the opposition gained anything through his side We hope "E lli s" will be back to strengthen the team of 1930.

MORGAN

"Eugene" was the other co-captain of the Howe quintet, and with his two yea r s of experience on the V a rs it y s q u a cl , h e was suited admirably for the position. It was hi s height and caging ability that kept Howe on the top more than once. So long, "Smoky."

LAWYER

Altho u gh "Johnny " was a trifl short , he made up for it in speed; h e wou ld cover the Ooor in no time, and when he got a chance at th e basket, it was ju s t two more points for Howe.

KRAWITZ

The ability and speed which "Leroy" sh owe d thi s season sh o uld go far toward s putting him on the Varsity five next year. Good luck , Krawitz.

WARREN

"R ud" was another exper i enc ed Varsity man, and the Warren-Burt-Morgan combination worked won lcrs for the cadet five. \i\T arren was a !way s "there" on the passes, and when he took a s hot the sp h e r e was s ure to pass through tb e basket.

THOMPSON

"Thompie" was a new man thi s year, having played on the Blake the year previous. But he .was not to be held down, for h e made hi s berth on the Varsity squad and should be good material for the futur e Varsity five.

CULLEY

A n ew "find" this year was "Long John " Culley, who came up from the Mack During Morgan's s ickn ess h e took hi s position at center and upheld it without a break. Sorry to lo se "Lo ng John."

SCHNACK, H.

"Hank" combined hi s club experi ence with a l ot of hard work, and made hi s place on the sq uad. With hi s ability he will be a valuable man on the s quad of 1930.

CARVER

Carver, the boy from Tro y, was a whiz at the forward position, a nd he accounted for hi s quota of Howe's point s when he played. We'll nev er forget "Dye."

BRODIE

"Andy" h as a not h e r year with u s, and hi s re m arkab le g uardi ng s h ou ld be an asset to the "\i\T ild ca t " qu ad of 1930.

ALEXANIAN

"A lex" sh ows great promi se for n ex t yea r. He h as speed, en dur a nc e, a nd accuracy, all o f w hi ch go t o make up a good player. More power to yo u, "A lex."

UMPHREY CEJKA

With two yea r s o n the Varsity beh'ind him, "La rr y" show ed up real well, a nd a lthough h e only pl aye d a f ew qu a rt e r s, we kn ow h e h as th e s tuff.

His h e ig ht a nd shootin g eye o ug ht to h e lp him a lo t when h e r et urn s n ext yea r , and we hop e to ee him among th e fir st st rin g m en.

SN AREY

Lady Luck wasn't so good to "B ill," for h e was out th e g r eate r part of th e seaso n with a b a d ankle. But h e did some mighty fine work durin g the first of th e year. "Bill" will be with u s n ex t yea r.

Review of the Club Basket Ball Season

THE Blakes were c rown ed champions of the seaso n 's ba s ketee r s They played exce ll ent ba s k et ball, had a wonderful d efe n se, and a pow e rful forward attack. Th ey never lo s t a game, although a few of th em were mighty clo se ly contested. Much credit is du e Mr. Bouton, coach of th e Gold a nd \Vhit e. Th e Dwight team, which placed seco nd, had a s trong team , but something seemed Jacking to give them the n ecessary punch to come through on top. Th e Mack s, champions la s t yea r, put up a good fight, but were without th e se rvice s of a coach part of the time; thi s may have been the cause of their not r epeating thi s year.

The Blakes won over the Macks in the first game of the season, which was played just before the cadets left on their Christmas holidays. It was in this game that the Blakes inau gurated their famous system of closing fast to win in the last few minutes of play.

Buracker and Borland were stars for the Dwights in their first victory, and the Macks were vanquished, taking the short end of the 16 to 4 score.

The Dwights tasted defeat in the next game at the hands of the Blake quintet. The game was fast and it was only through the superior shooting of Douglas that the Gold and White were ab le to win 13 to rr.

By this tim e the Blakes were running lik e a we ll -oi led machine, and through fine teamwork they conquered the l owly Macks 18 to II. Miau llo and Deligiannis did some fine work for the winners.

After lo sing three stra ight the Macks s urpri sed the Dwights by setti n g them back a pace to the tune of 14 to 7. The Mack defense was almost in penetrable; Lynch and Harling did the scoring for the Blue and White.

On Washington's birthday, the Blakes took a game out of the fire, again defeating the Dwight';. Douglas was there with his shoot ing eye, and it was his baskets, coup led with good teamwork, that gave them the game, ro to 9.

It was the Macks turn to lo se again, but it was only after an overtime period that the Dwights finally succeeded in s ubduin g the Blue and White. Borland starred for the Purple a11Cl White, a nd the Lynch-Cunning-Harling combinat ion worked wonders for the Macks.

The eighth tilt of the season ended in the Blakes turning in a win over the Macks by a score of 17 to ro. The game looked like anybody's until tbe final minutes, when the B lakes, led by Douglas' shoot in g, cinc h ed tl1e game

The Purple and White were snowed under by the fast Blake quint et in the final game, the resulting score being 27 to Ir.

CAPTATN LING Baseball Coach

Last sea. on Captain Ling's Howe nine went undefeated. This s hould be an excellent proof of hi s coaching ab ilit y, for h e polished off the rough spots and perfected a team that hung up such a good record. Vv e hope h e will repeat this season.

Review of the 1928 Tennis Season

THE first match of the tennis season was played at Howe with B luffton furnishing the opposition. After a hard foug h t tilt, Howe won out over the visitors fou r contests to one.

The second match produced some of the be s t tenni s seen on the courts. The Goshen team played we ll, but Howe was too much for them, Howe winning four to one in the number of contest played.

In the third match Howe made a clean s weep of the series by defeating the St. Alban's team four contests to none.

The strong Sout h Bend team upset the hope of an undefeated season for Howe by taking the fourth tilt, five contest to one.

Howe came back in the fifth match to defeat Morgan Park Military Academy, four contests to two. This wa s Howe's mo l important match and they sure ly put it over in fine shape.

Howe was again up se t in the sixth and final onset of the season by the fighting Ft. vVayne team, the score being four co nt ests to tw o

The doubles team, composed of Umphrey and Jenkins, came thro11gh the season with on ly one defeat marring their record. This was to the SOltth Bend team, co mpo sed of Paul Martin and Lcvenburg; they were the third national ranking doubles team, and our boys made them give tbei r best to put the game over.

AWARDS

Cadet Umphrey was awarded the A. M. Campau Si lv er Cup for the single s championship, Cadet Lynch being runner - up Cadets Umphrey and Jenkins were awarded the School Cups for the doubles champions hip . Richard Neall and Harry Grut were runners-up.

The Traveling Club at Home

THE annual meeting of the Royal and Ancient walkers of the BullRing was held in the pine trees behind the Upper School last Tuesday morning at four o'clock in the afte rn oon. Roll ca ll was taken, and the members a n swered w ith the u ual threat, "Dow n with aristocracy." The minutes of the previous conspiracy were rea 1 and adopted. Severa l new members w re duly installed in the club, after a rigid physical examination. The election for the officers was then held; votes were cast, and the fo ll owing officers were ass igned to their duties:

Mr. Lawyer, High M uclly ]'..{uch

Mr. Chamber la in , Grand Keeper of the Records

Mi·. Runyan, Grarid Keeper of the Reveniie

Mr. Lamereaux, Grand Spealler of the House

Mr. Umphrey, Overseer of the Poor Honorary Members: Mr. McCleary, Mr. M ucller, Mr. De li giann i s.

Mr. Stambaugh then made a motion that severa l improvements shou ld be made for the comi n g year. He s u ggested that there be a new asbestos pavement installed in place of the old dirt one, clue to previou fires resulting from the ene r gy whi h the members of the club exerted during their activities . The motion wa · seconded by Mr. Berdan, and carried by the unanimous vote of the entire club. Immediately fo ll owing, Mr. Bag ley suggested that the new ring sho uld be banked on all corne r s for the pu rp ose of a idin g the members who traveled at terrific speed on their numerous journeys. The suggestion wa put in the form of a motion by l\!Ir. Pifer, seconded and carried.

Mr. E ly moved that a semi-annua l dinner hould be held instead of the usual a nnual one. Mr. Bloch voiced a n objection, but was overru led and downtrodden. A serious debate was held over the matter as the officers of the club wanted to keep their men in good condition, wh ich cou ld not be <lone by overeating. After several days of thought the matter was clecicled upon and Mr. C hamberlain in scribed it upon the scro ll and it was promptly mad a new rule that from then on th ere sho uld be a semi-annua l dinner once a year.

Mr. Brodie then arose a nd stated that h e wa s r eady to donate $10 toward the we l fare of the club, a nd he s u ggested that eve r y ot h er member should al so giv e a tidy sum. He was overru led and di smi sse d.

Mr. Burke, our foreign vi s it or, then gave th e fo ll ow in g s hort talk t o th e club: "T he proposition is peac e Not peace through th e medium of demerit s; not p eace to be hunt ed through th e labyr inth of intri cate and en dl ess walking; not peace to a ri se o ut of univ e r sa l di sco rd fom ented from reports in all pa rt s of the sc ho ol ; not peace to depend upon th e assigning of demerits; not peace to be obtained by the u se of th e soak-pad; but it is s impl e peace, so u ght in it s natural co ur se a nd ordinary haunts. It is peace to ari se from th e truth that " magn a nimity is th e tru est wisdom." I therefore propo se that by removing th e sys tem of " walking" t o g iv e the s tudent body permanent sa tisfaction and to reco n ci le th em to the faculty."

This s peech wa delivered in true Burk e onean sty le, a nd was vigorou s ly app laud ed.

The la st thing on th e program was th e a lumni notes: They stated th at th e Right Honorab lr and Right Reverend Harold Ba n cr oft Mile s, Bis h op of Terre Haut e, was r ece ntl y di s patched to Palopaloma a a mi ss ionar y, where h e w ill pend seve ral yea rs with t h e nativ es lea rnin g their miraculous m et h od of " h ow to grow hair on yo ur ch es t wit h th e a id of Lifebuoy soap."

We wish Bancroft h a ir rai sin g adventure.

Th e meeting wa s then ad j ourn ed until the n ext year by the High Mucky M u ck .

The New Thrill in Motoring [

Four Speeds Forward ] Standard Gear Shift

OWNERS say that the only new motoring thrill they have enjoyed in recent years is the distinguished performance of the Graham-Paige four speed transmission, with its two high speeds and standard gear shift. The smoothness and swiftness of fourth, and the rapid acceleration of third, can only be appreciated by personal experience . There is nothing new to learn - you start in second; first is instantly available, but seldom used. We invite you to enjoy a demonstration of this new thrill in motoring.

I have been asked to ·write a few words about a man who loved people his church, books, sports A man who many times walked over the campus late at night Who was never too ti red to kneel and say his prayers.

A man who going on a trip would carry addresses and phone numbers of alumni and patrons to call and say '' hello'' ... Who traveled East, West to Hawaii , North and South visiting priva e schools and colleges.

A man who was disturbed when a b oy had to be asked for his resignation from the Cadet Corps "Why '"as the School un able to inspire and motivate this boy?"

A m a n acutely aware of his foibles who was happy when alumni returned to visit who was extremely grate ful to the b e nefactors of the School who enJoye receiving etters rom strangers commending the Cadets in their conduct and appearance on bus, train and plane A man who believed totally in the Schoo l 's motto, ".Fides et Honor ," \i\Tho dedicated his life to Christian Education.

A treasury of stories and many confidences died with this man on that twentythird day of October.

A GOD FEARING AMERICAN

b eca m e ac qu a int e d with Colonel Bouton in the year of 19 3 6, wh e n o ur so n , Ke nn e th , e m o llcd for four years al llowc 1\lilitary Schon!.

T h a l a lqtt a iman cc 14r c w i11to a de e p r e sp ect a nd after World \i\lar IT w a s mer a nd Ke nneth was tli scharg-e d from the .\ir Corps , we decided t o go cl ow n and look oYC r How e School and see what condition it was in.

\\ 'e h a d a Jon g- talk with Colonel Bout.on and he was prcctt.y disco u ra f\ ecl a nd cli s h c artcncd, a11cl having the respect for Colonel Bouton a nd fo r How e School that we had, we slartcd lo build Howe School in10 th e in s titution it is 1oday. The inspiration always c:ame from Colonel Bouton H e never a>kecl for anything but was deeply gntelul for anything we did for Howe School.

H e wa s a Goel fearing \merican and when J American, he Lriecl lo make each one of the boys that graduated from Howe a bclter man for spending his few years of life there. It was his ambition lo meet e ach bo y and lo k11ow each boy a11d tu IJuilcl him up lo b · a young man. hulllall l' owu s, b ut h e clid not depe11d 011 thc111. His was a guidcll lif'e, a life that co111es only by self denial and prayer. He escaped the \:l'ils that beset all persons Lo whom authority is committed, and he escaped the corruption o[ authority

his lo n g res id e n ce in N orth e rn Indiana he has been elecLcd or ap pointed to alJ the diocesan nlliccs open to laymen. He excell e d in itself. He could have

all human roles and all human r e lation s hips. l am happy and proud to have been his bishop and been an rr:end. He was an honor to his

gcncr;ilion , whi c h is also my geu<:ration. He lives with us sLill in the vast communion of the faiLhfu], living aucl dead. I commend him Lo your prayers May Burrett Be e be Bouton rest in pea ce!"

When Howe School losl Colon e l BouLon, they Josi a Lerrific 111an , and we, the Herrick family, lost a close personal friend. Howe School will go forward because you have a man now as Superintendent, Mr. Ray Kelly, who I am sure in Lime ro come will carry out Colonel Bouton's ideas and plans.

MEMORIES DON'T DIE

This man, our man , rny gracious man Yo u did not di e la s t fall For men oI greatness , men of honor Shall never die at all.

The key to success, the word ' s endeaver Endeavor shall we all Over roads of rough and glorious vicLory With pride one cannot fall.

This man, our lead e r, our Christian leader Through your work we've auained , For like a father you did watch You taught and loved and pained.

A Just Honor

Colonel Bouton was a friend Lo boLh Mrs. IIerrick and myself. Jn the year I 960, he made l\lrs. Herrick the first Honorary Lady Graduate and 1 likewise was named an Honorary Graduate o[ Howe i\fililary School. He has been in my home many times-always a genlie111;1n with a great sense of humor ; serious-no mauer what Lhe subject was, and especially the Cadet s- he could sec goodness in every oue of you and it wa s his ambition to bring that goodness out. autocraL without serious challenge , but he was humble, patient , and compassionate. In difficulti e s he never pitied himsel[ and never asscncd himselL He strengthened the weak and shared the distress of their infirmities , but not the i11firmiLies themselves. In prosperiLy he was not self-indulgent. He was a clisciplinecl man, but there was no t hing forbidding about hi s discipline. His goodness was so r eal lhal people wanted to be like him, and yet when they failed to be like him they could not envy or resent him. In the end, everybody was simply grateful for him. He was , in short, a person i11 whom the Chrisli;in religion genuinely work<:d. Jn his direct, honest fashion he rnacle it auraclive and productiw.

The man of whom we arc sp e ;iking had, as all other men have, a history. He was born in Roxbury , New York, almost 62 years ago. He went to St. Stephen's College a 1. J\11nandale-on-thc -Hudson ;incl to ITarvanl , gaining a degree at each pfacc. e was a hus and and a faLher, and his home had the mark of Christ upon it. He had been at Howe since 192 1!, for Lhc first ten years as a member of the faculty and from 1934 on as Superintendent. He had served as PresiclenL of the Association of Military Schools and President of the Independent Schools AssociaLion of the Central States. He has i eccived an honorary doctor's degree from Bard College and the Outstamling Civilian Service Medal [rnm the United SLaLes Government. He has frequ e ntly been a vestryman. During

Time goes on, we all grow old , A man is made so young, And for his ideas we may foster One day, some clay may we be one.

Oh Colonel, my beloved Colonel, You march with us no more ; But how swe e t arc the memories th e gr at m a w e ador e

-Hille St. John.

Jn 1939 the AdjuLant Genc1al's office oi the Sta le or I nclian;1 passccl a procl aom a tion wh e r e by th e then Mr_ Burrett B. Bouton received a just honor. The procl a mation staled that the staff of Indiana's two military schools: Culver J'vlilitary Academy and Howe Military School may be entitled with the Hororary title of Colonel or any other such commissioned post of duty as long as that person remain in an ollicial capacity within the school.
