The fir8t )·ear was a 1011esom e one for me, and I can remember little ex.('ept the time I tore my pants on the old tohogg-an slide, or when we u. ed to ride ·with our sled attached to Captain Pr .ston 's bumper.

rrirne marched on, and then xt y a1· I found hack again, only this time escorted by two fine young cadets-B ck and Uas:-iell who haYe arried the uame of Howe steadi ly upward with me.

It was not long until 193:2 roll d around bringing two more cadets de:tincd toward the. ame end, one from Hamilton, Indiana, and the other from :B--,ort Worth, Texas. The Senior Clas8 to be, was beo·inning to look like som thing. "B1 oothall, basketball, soccer, tum hliug, track, and ba eba ll all s rved to keep u · busy and conten ted. B fore long, other eaclets entered, among them, John Spillso n, and .J aek Chatain.

lDighth Grade pas:ed quickly, and after a summer of jolly goo<l. times, w all entered the Midd le, a little st range after bej1w o u sed to marrhiug· down to th Lower after CY meal, hut we soon o·ot used to it.

First came Mido·et football and the ea rly fall sports. 1.1 h u, just before Christmas Yacation, we a ll well r m m-

her the great conflagration that tlueatenecl the floors ,·o dear to us. That over, we went home for Christmas. New re ·olutions were made, and hrok( n, were exchanged, and back we w re, none the worse. Oh! yes, we had our throat. · wabbed in those days after vacation, also. \Vinter came with icy hlast s, on of the colde:t that we ha 1 eYer felt. It did not last long, 110 weve r, and we were out again. 8pring fe, ·er gripped all, and Commenc ment brought broad smiles from ev ryone.

Rtartiiw afr h in 1936, we all came back as Sophomore" . And) Gill was elected President of our class, and h>T this time it had grown considera hl)T• rr1rn fall wa. taken up with biology hike s, tennis, eating and sleeping. Wi ntcr earne and left just a.- quickly. Now, the Middl School clan c was the thing that was uppermost in our minds. D coratin g the gymnasium was first and foremost. But, as time went on, the dance came an cl l assed, a successful aff aiT, a11d i prino· was upon u again. Swimmin °·, hiking, bicycle riding, tennis, track, and baseball were all in Yogue, and th e Sophomores were all busy. AL ·o, prel arations were hei1i0' made, and plans heing formulat d in the back of many mind., for entrance into the Upper Schoo l.

The Upper hrouO'ht many sur·prise ·, including not haYing to get permi , sion to visit. Ah! what a life! \Ve soon got used to it, just as w had when we entered the Middle, and we adapted ourselves wond rfully.

s Junior ., we counted over thirty amono· us, quit0 a class. George Beggs III, wa tl1e logi eal choi e for the pre. i dent of our clas , and so he was el cted.

StrnliPs hcC'arne in c rPa iugly more diffic·nlt, mid minds hegan to turn more to stlHl>·ing· than to play.

Yarsitr athletics were also calling, so that inost of us went out for football. \Yinter blew i11, and the rifle team under l\f ajor Y ou11g 's guidance came into promineure, winning places in the TI rnrst 'l1rovhy, m1tl National R. 0. T. C. matehes. \Vinter hrought an alrnnclancc of skating, ancl a numher of good old-fashioned imowball fights. Basketball was well-repTesented among the .Juniors, and they had a Ye17 successfu l season. eame in with the spring air, along with ha ha1l and tennis,-all well-filled wit11 Juniors.

Commencement was the ohjcct of great lH'eparations for us, for as usual, the Juniors gave the formal hall in honor of the departing Seniors. This was a liig success and said to be one of the f°ineRt dances ever to be put on at Llow e. No one who has eYer graduated from ll1 g h School needs he informed that the Senior ;· ar is th e busiest, and most im 11ortant of one's lif e. We were all high

officer::; this year, and took our positions, as leaders, among the other cadets. G. Beggs was elected president again. Fall was about the same as usual, not so .· ucce. sful a football season, hut a l ot of fun, and after all, that's what we 're looking for in sports .

Our haHket ball team got off to a good start before we went home for the Yule season. when we returned, they proceeded to giYo the finest s howin g a llowe School team has ever made. A ll our minds were turned to but one thing, au undefeated ·eason. What a feeling we had ·when Maumee, Ohio, adm ini :tered the fin,t and only defeat. But, after all, a team can't ju st go on forever Jik e tbat, o we let it pass, and kept rooting for a one defeat season.

Basketba ll pas. ed, and here we are, s hiY ering with tlrn icy blasts of s now on the nineteenth of Apri l. Will spring eYer We hope it will soon, so that the golf, tennis, trnck, and baseball teams will all get out and really fight for our good old A lma -Mater, HOWE.

Rt. Yaleutin 's Day was the scene of another informal dance only this one was given up in Sturo·i: at the Hotel by the Rturgis girls. It was a regu lar Valentine's })arty, and over twenty cadets were permitted to go An interesting evening of entertainment was lffovided by the hostes. es, and everyhody enjoyed themselves immense l y.

During t h e Sp1'ing Vacation, the ( 1 hicago II owe lub Jrnd a banquet, to which a irnmb r of Chicago boys were invited . This gave the cadets an opl ortunity to meet some of the old boy., and talk over some of the o·ood o1d times Captain Preston showed a number of co lored movie of the school and of the Sunday afternoon parades.

The omu. C lub again came throuo'h wit h a group of IJ l ays. This time, one of them was presented by the V 1 aculty, and the other by the cadets The Faculty vlay ·wa.- titled "The Valiant," and was a story of a ma11 just about to be e1ectroeutecl.

Arnono· the Spring entertainers was Mr. Rus. · 11 IIoogerhyde, five t i mes the

national champion archer. He gave a demonstration of championship archery i11 the which would make an.rnue stand up and cheer. AlonO' with this, he gave a short, hut complete history of archery.

Girls came from far and wide, and agaiu, a: usual had a well time. few weeks later, one of the foremo:-:;t diYers in the countTy, Mr. Hi l debrandt, gave an interesting lecture in Blake Hall, on marine life, and told just l1ow a diYeT works. He had many interesting specimens of under. ea life, a. well as a h autiful collection of coral.

The Juniors, who have been busy trying to put on a worthy dance for the Seniors, sponsored another informal dance, which they called a ''Hard Times Party.'' This was to raise money for the Commencement formal, and that it <lid. 11-J\'erybody went in his old clothes, or anything that he wanted to wear, so all felt right at home.

It seems that the Comus Club pops up in nearly every other line and here they are again with two more plays,one, ''The Drums of Oude, '' a story of the terrors of India, and a p l ay put on by the Middle School exclusively, ''The Creeping Beast,'' which made everyone's blood freeze in his veins

We cannot l eave ''Pete'' Preston out, and still have our account comp l ete, for he gave one of the most interesting ta l ks of the year, te ll ing of his Wor l d vVar experiences as an aviator and giving a demonstration on a new type freezing machine, which he presented to the Howe Scien e _Department .

HONOR GROUPS

Thirty-two years ago, a local chapter of this society was established on the Howe School campus as one of the first chapters of the Alpha Delta Tau Society, a national fraternity. A few years later, the national society was discontinued but Alpha Delta Tau wa continued on the campus as a lot:al organization of t he sc h ool. Membership in this socie t y gives membership in the Cum Laude Society, the national society whic h took the place of the old Alpha Delta Tau Society.

The society has maintained its high scholastic standard by selecting only a c h ose n few each year from a large group of eager cadets. A cadet who is chosen for the honor of becoming a member of the society, must have acad mic grades above average and must have an excell e nt conduct record and character. If a member fails to maintain his high sta nd ards , he i s automatically suspended from the organization.

This year, the cadets look even better and while the i·esults of t11 e Irn-11)ection are not yet known, hope s are high.

Tlte cred it for tb e improvem nt shown b elongs to the Prof es.·or of Militar)· 8cieuce and Ta cti cs Major Young· leaves this for duty at Jlonston, T ex as. Corps takes this opportunity, therefore, to thank him for what he has done and to wish him, and hi s family, the Yer)' be st of luck for the future.

The Lake Forest game was played on a hot, su ltr y day which would have been good for baseball but was not so good for football.

The Garrett ga me was played before a large Founders' Day crowd. The Cadets fought up and down the field but th ey co uld not sco r e, but did keep the other team from scor in g. So end..: d another How e football season. Good lu ck, Junior s.

VARSITY TRACK

This year's track team was great ly handi cappe d beca use of gra duation vacancies. T he team is mad e up of very few veterans, and most of the runners are new to th e team.
