Dick Lesli(' iR FlS8istunt tactical office:r of the Lower School, and the captain of the 1933 football team.

In J932 four muubcrs of this illustrious class came to tormt·ut tho.-<, a ll' cmly mentioned. First of a ll is Gustave Chutorash, fomous for backslapping tactics arnl his "Hi ya, fella!" Second ly, .James "Wimpy" Gould, always asleep in c la ss, hut the terror of the athletic fielcl and Urn bass section of the band. 'l'hinl, Hcginald Heap, of Galenu, Kansas, who wended hi s weary way tbrough severa l courses with unusually good gTaclcR which entitled l1im to membership in the Alpha Delta rrau society. Undoubted ly, "Reg" is tlie best-read, and the most satirica l member of tlH' class "Herbie" Shoup is the fonrtli fellow who came to How(• in 1932. He has become famous for his ability to make noises on his trumpet, but we'll excuse him for that now that we shall not haYe to listen to those noises anymore.

The newPst arriva ls at Howe to join our class are ·walton Barry, George Ewald, Neil Brinker, George Emanuel, George Everhart, Ransom Hawley, Harry Kinsel, Ernie Orcutt, and Werner.

"Walt" Barry and George Ewa.Ld were terrors on tlie football field and also are the sport writers on the '' Heral<l '' staff. Neil Brinker and George Emanuel were two of our baFiketball heroes. George Everhart and Ransom Hawley are roommates, and the scourge of the thinl floor with their "uke" and "wldskey" tenors. Harry Kinsel was the president of the Griper's club for a while, but he changed his tactics and is now the president of the Anti Griper's Club "Ernie" Orcutt was one of our football stars. "Ernie" also made us grovel with that moaning trombone of his. "Weenie" Wernrr, although a first year man, accompli shed more in academic work than any other senior. But that's not all be did, "Weenie" was also one of our best basketball men. Being· s ix frrt four, he certainly covered space .

Tl1is class not only made history at Howe, but because of tlieir incloruitnblP spirit will continue to make history for years to comc:..

Class Prophecy

1t wm; jm;( twilight. wlwn I pulled on the reins of my tired pouy urn! pn•1m1·rd to ride the six miles to the ranch house. Sunset colors brig·ht<•nPd all tltl' 11' ide horizon. All clay long l had been hnmdi11g <m lv PH; it l1nd lwc11 a l1ard <h1y's work, tHking all the <·110rgy ci nwn eirn givl' to eon1pktc the task as it Hhou Jd be cl01w. I was tin•d, d1·rHdl'ully tired, nnd my mind warn!Prod away from t h0 day's business to thP ti1uc when T was far away from my 1·m1ch, my p011it>s, aud the bnrnding of calvci:;.

As l rode· that old paint pony t lirougl1 the weHtcrn twilight, rneuwril'H of thP days spent at How<' School came to mind. I had thoug·ht of tbr scl1oo l arnl the boys I knew then> more than once duri11g the Yl'al's that lrnd inten·em•d, but this time I felt an overwht>lming desirP to HC'e my comrades agaiu.

i-:;uddenly sornc•thing in the back of my mind saicl, "W11y not visit tll('lll? Tak<' H vacation .Heaven knows you need 01w." Thinking- thus, I matle llp my mind to SC't out the vrry iwxt clay.

Thus it waH t l11-1 t I fonncl my:·;elf wondering at my being at the Rtation nPxt momiug i11stcud of going about my regular duties at th<' much. l waH going, actually going. Tlier'l' l stood, the proud poS8l'880l' of a ticket lo Detroit. The J{ocket -Train pulled into tbe country station, slowing down from its two-hundrecl -rniles -m1-hour :peed to a gl'nt ly cushio1wd stop. An electric tramway whisked out from tl1e sillP of the pu llrna n car. A moment more nnd 1 was seated in rny chair mHI awarP tlrnt I was being- hurtled through space.

Upon ruy arrival in Detroit, T R0t out to find a 11otel where I cou ld co11s1cl0r whom 1 should visit first. I mount.eel tlie esca lat or which canicd IH 'op le from th t' station to the elevated boulevards that hung abovt• th0 cHy. Al l WPnt wPll uutil l was on my fpet again on that elP\' utec1 boulevard. Unhappily, or happily, as it later turned out, I caught one of my spurs and fell heac1long through the window of fl park<>cl rocket-automobik When I lookt>cl up, I noticed the i;;urprisPd countenance of a face with which ] waR familinr. Lt was none other tlrnn .JohnniC' Heic1, good old "Bun" Reicl.

"Well 1'11 be,-where in the worl<l-1" he sputte-rwl i11 s1Jrprise. He had lost none of liis avoirdupois in the many years since we were graduated from Howe, imcl the exciternc'nt· was too much for his weak liearL

The initial surprise having abated, we streaked. off to Jo]m's palatial mansion, perched high above the <'XJlHllsiv<· city. On the way we stopped to have my head. bandagc<l by Dr. Pratt, who bancla:gcd me up so that I looked like H Turk masq11crading as a .

•John informe<l mfl that J1e was l1avillg· a pla11e designed for liis O\.vn pcrso1rn l use by those three famous aeronautical engincen;, Elder, Bair and Chutorash, who had fanned a company and wc>1·c carrying on a very successful business manufacturing a I l tyvos of lighter tha11 air craft and in particular, their low-priced Pelican Wing air nm-about which was as popular as Fonls wer<' when we were in Hchool. .John said they had sold tl1csc small planes to all the Howe faculty who went to Chicago and other places for their mi lkshakcs and moving picture shows.

We talke<l far ill to the night. "Bun" doing most of the talking, true to form. He to ld me that Ross was flying the Rocket-AirM ail between continents. Carotlrnrs and Werner were noted chemists and were doing big· things in the world by selling· their synthetic cd ucational pills covering all the sul>jccts being taugbt in preparatory schools and universities. These pil ls 11wvf' simplified school systems tliroughout the world. Carothers' wild scheme (he got the idea from reading Swift'8 "Gul live1·'s Travels") had been a]Jproved by Werner, wbo had put the manufacture of educational pills 011 such a reliabl0 basis, due to his cluuacteristic co11scientiousucss mid thorough training in chemistry under Mr. Norton. l had to give up the idea of seeing them, for J ·ohn went on to say lhat bot11 Carothers and Werner were busy working out a formula so that their pills might be manufactured for use in tl1e U. S. S. H.., which had just begun its twenty-.tirst "Five Year Plcm. '' Werner lwd written to friends in Detroit and sai<l that Carothers had forgotten everything he lnww after a first drink of Vodka, cv01ytl1ing except "squads rig·ht" and bis ability to raise a flag.

Thinkiug of going to becl after out long conversation, we both thought of "Wimpy" Gould. the word "sleep" and "Wimpy" b0ing somewhat syuonyroouR. "Wimpy" wfls in New York Cit-y,

80 .John Rai<l, "with a Rteady job aR a mattreRR teHtl'r in Gimbel's stOl'(' . " rrhere )tad been a l"\lll\01" that he WHS likely to IOSf' his job hc c11uKl' lie took such an inl<•rest in testiug one mattress at a timf'.

AR I fell as lpep that 11ight thf' names of Revera l oth<"r o ld schoolmalt•s came to mirnl, and 1 lwpt wornleri11g what had bcco111r ol' my comrades at Howe.

At brPakfast I wns start led to fiud myself being served by no lt•ss n rwrso11 than HPginalcl Heap, the o ld cynic of Howe, whose Rophist ie11tPd nH111nr1 · was not unbecoming in 11is present vocation.

11<_. was qui1e l'Hst• i11 l1is butler's uniform, pattP11ie<l after the l'ulldn• ss nnifonn we used to wear at. sc hoo l. "Bun" explained ihat his eu(ire staff of servants were accoutPrecl thus. "Makes me rigid at home, ya know." When Heap had deposited our iccClmclon lwfore uH, as if to say, "No one cou lcl do tl1i8 better than 1, 110 one,-" lie <lC'parted to the but l er's pantT·y with an undeniable look of scorn that h e had to serve anyone wearing spurs.

"Bun" then told me that Heap had come to his place se llin g F'uller Brushes, but because he <lid it so badly, "Bun" thought he might be able to g·ivc him a pos ition as butler.

"Bun" had to leavl' for bis office right after breakfast, but before he departed he sai<l that he owe<l all his success to hiR Pxperience as Assistant Tactical Officer in the Micl<l l e 8cboo l. ''Anyone who can hold down a position like that can do anyi hing,--o r almost anything," he assured rne.

Latc•r the same morning I boarded t l1 e intcrurbun rocket to Ann Arbor, inten<ling to look up my o lcl pal, Hawley, but upon v i siting his home 1 was greeted by his wife, the same Patricia of sc hoolclay renown, who told me, pausing now and then to reprimaml threP or four editions of Ransom Hawley, who clamored to know who the man dres se d like a cowboy might be-that hPr husband was in Fnmce ou a diplomatic mission. Rh P was apparc•11tly de li ghted to tell me that he had almost started another war.

Somewhat cfowppointecl, I flew to New York to look up Dick 1i'ranklin, who was engaged with his orchestra at the Club New Yorker. l found ltirn quitf' at homf' in a peuthom;e. "After living; on the tliinl floor of Gray Hall and rmrning it, [ cou ldn 't think of coming down to li ve 11Ntr the ground," h e exp lained.

That rvening 1 viRited the club to hear Dick's band. The music struck my ears without giving me much pleasul"c. rrhe band wn, compoRN I mostly of trombones of various sizes, but apparently it was suitab le to tlw new kind of jazz whicl1 had replaced the jazz of my schoo ld ays. The host of nigbt-cluubers attested to the fact that "Little Dick IPranklin's Band" was the best band in Manhattan.

What was my surprise, however, to see Chris Fleck in th<' center of the spot-light! He was Dick's "unusual tenor" and had developed a distinctly new k.incl of ''crooning,'' as unusual and as ear-splitting as Dick's music. But his efforts were received witl1 such wl10Jebeartccl applause, that I swallowed whatever ideas about music L ever learned and clapped my hands as loudly aR my neighbors.

When it was almost clawu "Dick," "Chris" and I returned to Dick's penthouse and held Hll old-fashioned "bull session." From "Dick" and "Chris" I learned quite a bit about some rnor•• of the fellows wlrn were in Howe when we \Vere there.

Casler was quite well-off and was what we might well lmve called him i11 19 34, a man of l eisure. Lind, who had had such 11igl1 aspirations to become a columnist 011 the New York Times, waR now diligently and ambitiously writing up tbe Sunday schoo l notes for tho "Podunk Gazette."

Our conversation was interrupted by tlie arrival of two guests, whose voices seemed familiar enough as they exchanged greetings witJ1 Dick in the distant hallway. Before I cou ld place these voices, however, their owners walked in. They were Ewald and Orcutt, attorneys at law, and partners in one of the lar gest firms in New York. "They always did have the "gift of gab," I thought to myself. Needless to say, I cou ldn't get a word in edg·owise. They had come in to see Fleck about getting him out of some sort of mixup, so I excused myself and went to bed. rrhe night life of the big city was too much for a rancher, anyway.

Healizing· that affairs had to be attended to at. the ranch, the next clay I said goodbye to "Dick" and "Chris" and flew by plane to .Jackson, hoping to see the Leonard boys on my way home.

The paper l had boug·hu in tho clil1ing room of the plane had a picture that caught my eye. It was a picture. of Garre, and the article accompanying the picture told how his profile had won him a place in tho motion picture business in Hollywood. All th e comedy studios were bidding· for him. Another article in tho same paper set me back somewhat. In one -inch l<:>tt ers in a banner Jiead were the words, '' Bf>el' Baron Extended Tour to Europe,'' and lmwnt h I noticHl Hany Kinsel 's picture. 1 was rcAf'cting upon why thosP llllnghty policemen had to be so crue l to our Harry, wl1l'n 1lir hug(' plan(• zoomNl down to the ,Jackson landingfield.

]i'nmklin and :U'h•ck had sent a radio-wave-o-gram to warn tl1r L('OJHlrds of my arrival, because I saw them both wild µ;rePtiugs to' me when 1 stepped out of the plane. Nnrpri8ingl,v r11ongl1, both had turnNl out to be really finf' men (linrnlsonw mid all that), aml both were successfu l, Max, as a lawyer SJH•cia lizing- i11 crirnimil cases, and Bob, as a fiuancif'r and prPsiclent of Uw Artificial Hen-Egg roq)oration. I spent two clays in their plN1s11nt hornl' (they hafl bought the .J11ckson prison and remodeled it to suit their nl'Pfls), and then dPpnrted in a rocket for Montmrn aml rny rnnch.

[was g lad to l1oru e, to drop back into the CJUiet of my fluties mHl the beauty of till' surround in g cou11try. My vacatiou had re>vivl'd lmrn y foml mcmories of the past, a past that now seems not quitr so distant as it did before I saw my old friends.

And in conclusion, as I sit here musing ove>r the strange tricks that- life plays upon nil of us, the thickening shaclows are replacing the gforiouR snrn;et. .A Rat i sfnction and a joy wells up in me, and I hNll' tlJP even ing wind saying, "Comn1cl<-'s always li ve."
