In Ll1e making of tl1is section of tbe record of tl1e Cla ss of 1935, we appropriately start with i11e fast sport of the sc hool year, the mnjor sport of the enti r e yea r, football.

Much may cornr a11cl go, oceans roll nnd wavps race, but may this be the scro ll upon which R written record will perp tl1atc the immortal spark belongfog to tlie Gridiron .Eleven proudly bearing the "Hmve Wildcats," football seRson of 1934.

W c say written record, but who can forget the ballyhoo of the rooters, the thrill irn;1)iring pep-meetings, tbe c r o up provoking snake dances, 11i c Hme ll of leat h er on sti11gi1 1g autumn wind. the thud arnl crash of leatb.er-annore<.l bodies agamst crisp eanli, or agaimit Pqua ll y i:;trained f1esh, the roar of the excite( [ cro1vd in accJmnalion of a brilliant or 8poctficular ph1y. Such is the life of n football player or fern. Ymi, who co uld forget those (layH, and wl10 <loei:; 11ot thi11k of tl1ern without a g l eam rc'tumiug to a. J.ulled eye. bi our n'view of the season, may we briHg from the "Herald" filt'8 an excerpt from an early .I! all interview with Uoac h Diethricli. "No prep schoo l tm:un avernging 141 pouncls with an in cxperienct>d line is going to srnai:; h throu gh many oppouc:nts early in the season." Fm-tiler along in th(' int e rvi ew h e s1-1 icl, '"vVc arc not going Lo proruisc Lhe School a lot of victor ies so ea rl y in the Sl'ason, b11t wtwill promise a Hllappy outfit. The spirit of the boys is fine, nnd l belie\·e the te;uu will develop iut o a real outfit by the end of' the• HN1H0ll." had :,; ix letter m '11 Lo start with. They wer Ca.vtain BPm1y NortlJrop at rigltt h1cklc, Fin H.oss at right encl, and I It <' coach's dream com<' true, a veteran backfield made up of Nourse•, Snyder, Smith and Everhart. This plus a group of scr::tpping fellow s made up tJ10 material from which <.:oac h fashioned hi s iigliti.ng eleven .

The :B..,all of 19:34 is one that will lon g be nrncrnbcrecl at Howe as our best footba ll year in many seasons This i s an inchrnivt' statement, as it ir-; rnacle about C lub teams antl Lower-Midget seriN:; as well as t11e Varsity

.A g r eater percentage of Ci 1cl ets played football at Howe this year Lhan for many years pFlst. A new system was inaugurated this y0ar which a ll owed for .Jm1ior and Senior Company teams . '1.1 l1c Senior teams wen• composed of 1 arsity players and the better g-riclders from the Cornpany teams. The s0T ie i:; prov ccl hard fought and in kn•sting fro111 the sfa rt with A Company having the upper Ii an cl.

'l1 l1e Junior :,;er i cfi was c lo . e l y contested all the way t]1rougl1. "A" Con1pany also won this competition, but the scores 1vcre clos0 and the outcome of almost every game was in doubt m1til the final whi s t le. Botb teams playecl a good brand of football ancl the members of eacl1 teHm received fine training from their coaches, Mr. Snow and Mr. Neff, which will stand t l1 cm in good steacl nc)(t fall when t IH• y mnkt' a hid for tl10 Yarsity. Th0 defcnsiv0 play of both te111118 w11s superior to tbc' offensive play, an<l it was the consistl'ncy ol' A Conqwny' · attack tlrn t .finally won tl1e series for ll1 'm.

TJ1e Lower - Li<lget serie s proved ·1s exciting and int<.>re8ting as any in th<' past. 'rho play wa: :o close that one touc l1down usually S}JC' ll <.>d virtory. 'l'lil' Midg<'h; won the game Ji'ouudcn;' Day before a lar gr crowd bnt 11lr Lowrr won the '.Pllm1k sg·ivin g D1-1y game and won th • serirs.

The Varnity 1his year prove<.l au old adagL', "How te1-1ms pJi:1y their hall in the last gual'ler" to be untrn0. The li ght but fighting aggrpgation whicli repres<'ntc<l the old Scl 1ool this sea8011 was in every Lall ga m e ev0ry minute. The inexperience of the lin e at the hr gfo ning of th0 season made ou r offense look much stronger than thr <lefrnse, but every game saw improvement in tl1eir play and they were a tough (to use thr boys' own worcls) outfit at the encl of th(• season.

Tlte backfi0l l proYNl to be n conch's clrcam. Speed was th essence of their attack, but tlte boys w r e rnggccl enough to do a good brand of blocking. The kicking of Everhart was of the highC'St ca liber, an cl Snyder ancl Nourse eou Id tlt row passes as well as receive them on fl par witlt most prep schoo l backs. Smith was a s ur e blocker on the offen ·c, mJd his tackling, particulm·ly in the laRt two garn0R was snrc ancl harcl.

As the line <lPYcloped during t h e season it is hanl, \vith one exc pt.ion, to choose an outstarnllng player. That 0xception was Ross. ot once was hiR f'rnl turnecl during tlrn season, and in spite of his short stature, he rarely miHsccl a pass tlrnt came near him. Many tim0s during- the year h e came 011t of hi s position to take the ball on a. doubl e revcrRc ancl lri R a\·ernge gain on tltis play was six teen yards .

Uncloubtecl l y the la ck of a football camp this year hanclicapp cl the Varsity at tlw b0ginning of the season, and t11ink the club would i10t l1avc lo st a game, had the boys had more experi ence HO\vevcr, there was never a comp laint from :my player during the season, and they but worked tl1 harcler to improve.

The highlight of the season was the game with Cranbrook . That clay Howe had the perfect team on the fielcl. Tl1e boys were in splend id condition, as witnessNl hy the foct that rleven lad s played

U10 Cl1tire game, they blocked arn] tackled with a finesse arn1 polish not sem h ere up to then, imd tbey played an intelligent bTand of ball that s how ed them to be in perfect mental condition. Needless to say the result was more than grat ifyin g to everyone at Howe

Much credit for a good , eason must go to Captain Nort11rop m1d hi s teammates. The boys 'lvork ed hard all season. They made many sacrifices to meet all tl1e demands mHde on a Varsity player . With but very fpw except ion s the ent ir e sqnad kept the st ri ct training rules to whicJ1 they were su b;jocted, and they enjoyC'd playing the game and all report a fine feeling; of satisfaction in Jrnvin g attainerl a goal at which they aimed.

At the unanimous request of the sq1rncl the followi11g waR written ai1d published in the "Herald":

"The Football Coach ancl Athletic Director of Howe School, nnd incer e friend of tl1ose who work under him on any of thC' numerous squads, is the well knmvn Thurman C. Di eth ri ch Coach Dietbrich is the guiding hand behind m1y of the "fighting spii·it" that tho team might ha:ve had this year. All of the Varsity team of the 1934 Sl:'ason have been proud to work under him, and on the part of the team and it s captain, l et this be a public reminder of how we, the s quad of '34, have en,ioyed football under his guidance.''

Hobert Warner Leslie was the 150 lb. left end. Bob carried the Leslie name to continued glory by playing a fine brand of football, and tl1e whole Varsity is proud to have played with him. Hr is seventeen years old, and liv es in Lafayette, Indiana.

Edward Morris Chester, of Elkhart, Indiana, played the season as left tack le for the gray-jerseyed Cadets. Eddie weiglrn J 56 pounds, anrl h as another year in which to play ball for the Wilclcats If he does as well next year as he did this, in spite of an injured rib, we will all want to see him play. He is seventeen years old.

Benjamin G. Appleby, a 162 pound, seventee n year old cadet, from Saginaw, Michigan, hekl down the position of left g uar 1 during the gridiron season. ThL wa s Ben '8 first year of Varsity ball, but li played llkr a wte1·an. No big gain ever went tbrouglJ 11i s po s ition, aml lie did fl fine job of blockiug a 8 h e led the interference on rrnl rm1s.

Willimn Ilt>nry Hallow0ll, better known to l1is team-mates as "Big Bi ll ," played <l fine gnnw a s roving c0nter Bill holds the distinction of l.Jeing 1be big-g<'st man on the Varsity this se>flson (175 lb s. ). Bill was Hlway s "Johnie 011 the spot" i11 backing up his tPnrn -mates wilb 11is hard tackling- bePf. He ha s two yecws nt Howe; his houw is in Evarn;ton, Hlinoi., and he i s sixteen y0ars o ld Fine st uff, Bill.

Josrph A lb ert Gray, the ]51 pouncl right guard, and sometime center, ha s played a great gnme of footb11 ll this season. Joe is made of tough stuff, and is a great blocker. Best of Iuck next year at collegr, Ri. h. Joe hails from Mi8lrnwaka, ]ncli11na, aml is sevcnte>cn yt>ars oltl.

We now come to the player wl1osc write-up cannot be Rb=lrtccl in the wmal fa s hion. His fu ll name i s Rm;s B lake> Northrop, cn ll cd "Bennie," and h e wui:; U1r i:; pirit of this ye1:1 r' s indomital.Jle aJ11 l :fighting Varsity. Be1mie playecl right tack le this year nncl la st In La. t scas011's gamPs, liis merits wer e so outstanding that the Varsity of that , ca. on .·Hw fit 1o el ct him to captain this year's team, ·which he clid to the extent of making them play "ovcr-theirh cacls" ball. He is 150 J)Ollll<hl of ngl1ting, scri:1ppin g·, clrivin g, hard hitting, footb:od l player. Bennie i s seventeen years o ld and hai ls from Detroit Al l honor , land, an cl praise to tl1e :fig·hting Captain of a fighting team.

Finley Fuller Hoss, is t h e remarkable littl e right em1 from Kansas ity, Mo. This was Finn's fomth ycnr of prep-school for tbe Ho-we 0Hdets . Finn is one -half of what it 1-ook to make Howe's passing attack what it was this yeR.r . He will be missed more, perhaps, tlrnn any other grad uatin g player. Finn is seventeen yea r s old, and tips the sca les a.t 144 pound .. Bon Boy, Finn.

Haro ld Eugene Snyder, from Defiance, Ohio, was the ]57 pound guflrtcr-back who was another great factor in making Howe's passing- attack so dangerous to the opponent. Gene could a lw ays be depended upon to rnak yarda.ge carrying the ball, too, which was p1·oven by l1i s sco rin g record. This is his sec011 cl year of Howe football, ancl J1e wi ll l>e misse l a great deal next year. Gene if:i seveuteen yearn old.

,James F'rcderick 8mith, tbe Wilclcat fu ll back, hai 1s from :H'lint, Michigan. Jim is the man \.vllo was calle<l. on this season, when the going was tough, to take the ball for the necessary yardage to a first down. Jim is a ,Jnnior at Howe, weighs 152 pounds, and this is 1iis second year to make a "Varsity H" at footba l l. He hokls the distinction of having made the first tackle of the season, and tied for first place on the first tackJ roll. Good luck next year, Jimmie. We'll be th inking of you.

George Hobert Ji]verha.rt has played the season for the Wilcats at right-half . "Blondie" hails from Macatawa, Mich . He is a whirlwind with a ball under his arm, and has averaged better than forly yards with his punts this season. George has earned tho title "The All-American Boy." Many a time his team-mates heard tlle call go up and clown their opponents' l ine: "Watch Everhart." B l ondie also p l ayed last year for the Cadets, antl weighs 134 pounds. Howe is proud of her great so11.

For those wllo have followed the game write-ups this yeaI and last, this p layer needs 110 introduction. His fu ll name is Johu Uumming Nourse Our words cannot do justice to this potentia l All-American "Jock" has been the key-man of the Howe offenso for two years, and has another year to p l ay at Howe before he ::;eeks now glories . Ho is a true double-threat man, hm1cl ling tlle bal l well on runs, aud 011 the passing ann l'eceiving ends of passes. When things looked darkest for Howe, he tucked the ball unde1· h is wi11g, and skirted the ends for unbelievab l e ga ins, turniug, reversing his field, side-stepJJing and cloclging in a \Va.y that dazzled the best of tack lers. For bis brilliant and consistent perfonna1rne the players t\Jis year tma11frnously elected Jack tho captain for the J 985 scasOll Jack w i II ca l I s igna ls next year as he has this, and will pilot tlie Wilclcats, we feel sme, to a solid block of hard-fought victories . Jock weighs ]55 pounds, and lives in Kansas City, Mo. vVe arc all behind yon 110xt .Jack, and are expecting you to take the Wildcat to town

Robert Marion Frittier, 137 pound player, who plnyecl both center and guard, p layed a tough game of footba11, despite an injured leg, which kept him out of the line-up a great cle11l. Fix tJrnt Jog up, Frit, arnl we arc watching you in col lege.

Edward .Jolm Gammell comes from tlt0 ·windy City. "Stcgc" is only fift<·Pn )'Cars old, mu1 hn s <mother y1 •ar to play at Howe. He l1m; t lw makings of n fin' 1.acklc, which lie ably dernonstratt?d thir-; yea r.

Anotl1l'I' up arn l corn i11g player for llext yeflr's Vcn·si1.y, is _H,aJph JD11gP1H 1 G 1·cgory. Hrilp l t will probably take ovt?r Gene Hny1lt>r's poHition of quartPrll<1Ck 1wxt y ar. He is sixtren years o ld 1 wpig'ln,; p01rnd s, nrnl conH'S from Paine!-willc•, <H1io.

The 1934-35 basketball season at Howe School was more than satisfactory from every angle. The team played a representative schedu l e during tbe regular season and lo st but four games in the seventeen played. Central Oatliolic, one of the strongest teams in the State, was the only club to win two games from the cadets. The team was truly a Howe team, as every boy on the squad bad l earned his basketball at Howe, many rising from the clubs to the Varsity. The play of the Wildcats this year was interesting to watch at a ll times as they presented a varied attack, emp loying the set play type of game as well as a fast breakin g offense. The first str ing of R oss, Nomse, Les li e, Hnmmel ancl Snyder, ably nssiste<l by ('lrntai11, 8mitl 1 m1d Northrop, s how ed some of the clPv<'rt>sl passi11g Hnd ball harnlling ev(•r seen 011 a Howe court ':l1oo rnucl1 cmrnot lw srtid of the fine· sp irit of this year's Vm·sity. '11 ile cadets trni1wd f'uithful l y, maintained a fine group acadPmically, and, in the won1s of Coach, "showed nothing but the fi11Pst spirit of' co-oJ>eraUon at all times."

Among the most int"t>t·e:;tiug games of the year were those witl1 Three Hivers, l\•nlral Cat holi c, Hiclu;ville, Point Place, and Cnmbrook. A 11 liacl fhw teams and displayed different types of play which tested the ability of the• Howe tram. It is also interesting to 11otp !hat om· team lllPt opponents from four different states this year.

For the first time in severa l years a Howe team eompeted in a tournament. The ca.dots we11t to Morgan Park as an entry in the l\1id-WeHt Prive1te 8chools Tounrnmcnt. They lo st a heart - breaker wlw11 their opp011cnts in the first round, t h e fast St . Albans team, scored i11 the la st ten scconcls to win 26 to 24 J1Jveryone said tlrnt the team tlrnt beat St. Albans would win the tourney and such proycd to be the case. Even in (l efeat every friend of Howe can well be proud of the trarn that day.

'11 he l1igl1 spot of the season was tl1e Cnmbrook game . Always cager to win from om· fine rivals from Detroit the gray clad Howe team clicl ib.;elf proud i11 tl1at game which was played before a ci-ow d that includ<.'d many alumni members of the Varsity "H" Club. Cnmbrook prescuted a hard fighting temn led by their star Pettengill, but Oaptai11 Bob Leslie led J1is team to g loriou s victory. No Howe team pre se nlcd a pa ss ing attack as fast, sk:i llfull and deceptive as the cadets s how ed that nigM. lt wa.· a well earned victory and the team d eserves tlte praise they received.

A couple of veterans and several reserves will return for the season 11 ext year, aml Bob Clrntain, captHin-elect promises another gooLl ball club.

The regulars for tl10 Company Basketball teams this ycnr were:

A better showing was made in these meets than last year, and on the whole was a st ron ge r aggregation than previously, although weflk in two or thnlc events Everhart, Smith, and Nourse were the outstandil1g performers. A gro up of Middle Schoolers lrn s been out tl1is year, wbic]1 g iv es promise of turning in ·ome p 0rfonmm ces tll e next two years.
