Tennis Ii

Varsity Tennis had excellent material with which to build up another winning team. Grant Speicher, Captain, who, in 1931, defeated Beardsley Gammel for the school champ ion s hip in stra ight sets, was number one man and played his usually fine, flashy game. His abi li ty to send his drives and shots into the far corners and to the baseline of the court was a torment to any man who opposed him. Speicher was Lhe on l y veteran of l ast year's team to return. Dibble played number two position. He was on the reserve squad la st y .ea r , developing into a hard driving and accurate player. His conscient iousness was a great asset both to himself and to the team. vVhipple was number three and with many years praclice behind him showed up exceedingly we ll , as did Feig who played number four. Cl1shing, R., Cushing, G., Ferguson, vVatt, Rogers, R., Rogers, J., vVolcott, and Miskill were al l well clrillccl reserve players. For doubles, Lieutenant Dillard had Speicher and Whipp! as number one men, and the Dibble and Feig combination for number two. The 1932 squad was composed of good sporlsmen and graceful losers. They played hard and we ll and deserved recognition.

IIThis was the second season for Bad1ninton and eight Cadets and two masters were very much interested in t h e spor t. A lt hou g h no d efi nit e sc h ed ul e was arranged for the team t hi s year, it is expected that next year they will have a number of games both h ere and ·w ith othe r sc h oo l s . Lieutenant Dillard, the coac h , a nd Mr. Underhill were t h e facu lty enthusiasts whi le Shank, Garre, Watt, and Wolcott held the first positions for t h e team.

]• '. Id er, Cassler, Lind, a nd Rogers, J . composed the seco nd team. An exh ib ition g ame was sta g ed before one of t h e bask tba ll g ames and its exc it ement and th ri ll s we r e grea tl y enjoyed by the spectators.

COACHtS II

Every team which play e d this year in any contest was successful. This success was due chiefly, for the Varsity, to the expert coaching of Coach Diethrich who has had many years of coaching, and who was we ll acquainted with the boys. He coached the Varsity through a hard football season, through an equa ll y hard basketball season, and through the baseball season. The coaching of tl).e Varsity Track was put in the hands of Mr. Snow who put out a team of which he may be very proud. Lieutenant Dillard, as usual, was the Varsit y Tennis coach and under his guidance his team went through a difficult schedu le with apparently littl e trouble from any of its opponents. The C lub 1 earns were ably coached by Mr. Bouton, who coached the B l akes to a footba ll victory; Mr. Underhill and Captain Ling, who coached the Macks to a basketball championship; and l'v1r. Neff, l'vir. Hall and Mr. Snow who took charge of the }'\!f idgets

ACT IVI Tl ES

The Tatler

IIIt has been the sincere endeavor of the 1 J\TLER Staff, headed by Editorin-Chief Katz, to present a volume that covers all phases of school life in the most interestin g manner possib le. This edition incorporates many new features which have not been present in past TATLERS, but the Staff feels that all such changes have been for the furtherance of the beauty, interest, and efficiency of the work. The Staff submits this vo lume as significant of one of the finest Sixth Forms tl1e schoo l has ever graduated. lVIay their memory be accentuated by this representative vo lume - their yea rbook.

Old Guard

IIThe Old Guard Society of Howe School was founded in 1927 and is made up of students and male members of the faculty who have been at the school four years or more. The Old Guard is called the backbone of the school because its members are looked up to by the new boys each year. It is their adm ir ation that enables them soon to become accustomed to school lif e. Any boy remaining in the schoo l eight years or lon ger, and who is graduated, is presented with a large silver shield and is known as Commander of the Guard. This year three members of the C lass of 1932 are among those so honor ed. They are Cadets Thompson , Ader, and Maiullo.

VARSITY "H" CLUB

IIThe Varsity "H" Club was organized in the spring of 1927 to promote good sportsmansh ip in Howe School athletics. This has since become one of the l argest organizations on the campus. It is the ambition of every cadet to become a member of this club. When a boy wins a varsity letter in any of the major sports, he automatica ll y becomes a member of the club. Each member wears a small round VHC patch on the left sleeve of his ga rrison coat. There are, at present, twenty-four cadets wearing this coveted patch.

The Howe Herald Ii

The Hera l d Staff this year was again unusually l arge. During 19301931, the Staff was divided up into departments. These departments cons isted of Features, Sports, News, Literary, Military, Dramatics, and A lumni This p l an was so satisfactory that i t was repeated this year. Last year Lhe Hera ld won second p l ace in the Annual Contest of Secondary Schoo ls and Co ll ege Papers, at Co lumbia University, but this year, because of a sma ll er paper, it was not entered. A Bur lesque Edition was put out wh ich was very amusing and entertaining . The Staff, under the direction of Cadet Capt. Maiullo, Editor- in-Ch ief, and Lieutenant Di ll ard, Facu lty Advisor, deserves much credit for its untir ing efforts to present the most interest ing and important news of the Schoo l's act ivities.

IIThe Alpha Delta Tau, when firsl rounded al Tome Schoo l, Fort Deposit, faryland, in 1906, was a national honorary fraternity for Lhe purpose of promoting academic slandards and developing the character of its members. Howe School was the e i ghLh schoo l to enter the organization. In 1916 the organ ization was discontinued as a national fraternity, and gave way to the Cum Laude Society. Howe, hovvever, retained it as a local fraternily. At the h ginning of the 1931 school year, there was but one member of th A lph a Della Tau in the student body. The societr remained inactive until Spring, when seve n new members vv e r e initi ated. Tbe Juni o r C l ass membership of four shows promise of being outstanding leaders during the coming year.

Alpha Tau Literary Society

IIThe Alpha Tau Literary Society is the source of much pleasure for its members. This year the society has taken all the Inter-Society contests. At the Annual Declamation Contest, Alpha Tau took first and second honors while tying for honorable mention. Cadet Chase was awarded the first place medal, and Cadet Katz, the second place decoration. Cadet Wilkins tied for Honorable Mention. At the debate, which is the cause of much rivalry between the societies, the Alpha Tau again came through with :flying colors. The subject was Resolved: That the Philippine Islands should be granted complete sovereignty. The Alpha Tau team, captained by Cadet Katz with Cadets Molt, Clarke, and Eisele, completely overwhelmed the Pi Delta aggregate to win a decisive victory. The officers of the society are: Pres., Richard E. Ross; Vice-Pres., Joseph Cavera; Secy., Raymond Stevenson.

IllThe Pi Delta Literary Society is one of the two lit e r ary soc iet ies of · Gray Hall. Meetings a r c h e ld every Saturday evening in the li v in g room of the 1\1.Iidd le Schoo l. The program u sua ll y consists of poetry, s hor t stories, curr ent news, shor t debates, a nd extemporaneo u s speec h es. The rivalry w hi c h exists between Pi D e lt a a nd Alpha Tau finds express ion in severa l annua l contests held throughout the season. The Annua l Declamat ion Contest went to the A lph a Tau, as did the debate, whic h for the l ast seven years h as been wo n b y Pi Delta. Cadet Sh epard, the soc iety pr es id ent, has done much in helping to put over the programs, and t h e soc iety fee ls that it has t hu s spent a fruitful year. The r emaining officers of t h e soc iety are: V ice-P r es., Frank Thompson; Secy., E. Paul Jahnke; Sgt .-at-Arms, Jo seph A Ma iullo.
