For many year some of us, and for some years, others, have lived together under tho shadow of a banner inscribed 19-1-0. We have formed cheris hed friends hip Hthrough the years and at last we must part. \Ve leav e behind us all this to enter into a different phase of our liv es .

We, who have penned this book, have heen Yery happy here and our sincerest wish is that those who follow us may experienre in eveTy respect, as we have, the plea!'lant knowledge that they are forever a l·eal part of Howe.

We, the Class of 1940, dedicate, as a token of our high steem, our gratitude, and our open admiration, this om TATLER to one of the b st friends a hoy could have.

THE CLASS OF 1940

If you can spare a few minutes, I would like to tell you about the pa st oi the Class of 1940. Let us imagine Howe ii:; a boat. Like al ] boats it has it s ca bins, chapel, gymnasium, dining room and chart rooms. The riYer we are sailing on is"history"; the })ast is l eft in our wake and the future li es just around the bend. There have 11een mauv sand bar s and rocks in the water to make the trip hazardous, hut ;10ne of thei-w lms pre\'e nted the ship from going forwarcl.

On September 16, 1931, two small boys went tlrn gangp l ank to tak e th eir place in cabin "40 ". rrhey were the nuc]eus of our class. Oue was Ray Boaks alias "Doaks ". Little did be know at tliat time that nine yeaTS Jater li e was to he the Captain of Company '' B'' and Uommauder of tbe Old Guard. "Doaks" 11as been a real "salt" throughout the whole tr1p and wJ1en he pac1rn ]1i s hag and graduates this .Tune Howe will miss area] fellow. The other lad was .Tack Glendinning from out Oonnecticut way. ''Glen'' is the autl1or of this hi . tory and h e hop es to graduate tbis June. The hi ef navigator of the S. S. HOWE was Father Young. This was the first that the new gymnasium was open for the use of the Cade t Corps.

The n ext year, no now members were added to tl1c roll of ca dets in tho 8cp t ern1)er, 1032, dawned on horizon and a clrn1)1)y lad from Odro it walked up tl10 gangplank. He is a quiet pcTson witl1 a great deal of artistic tal e nt. His future seems snTe to be a Ruccess. Evidence of this ca n ho found on the smoking room walls or h>r rememberi11g tlic now famous "Statu e M:vs tcry" of 1039. There can he no douht in yo ur mind that I m e an J1one other than "Fat Stuff" Lee. Three 111011. wl10 had g·aincd tl10 loY e and Tespect of the Cadet Corps in their as masters at Howe retired. The first ma ster was Major hdwa rds wJ10 was followed by Co lon el R.egan. Tbe seco11d was the Reverend Irving Todd; no one has been able to take his place. The third was Fatlrnr Young· wl10 after many years of faitl1ful service as '' Rki pp et'' of the S. S. HOWE ret.iTed from active service and 11ecame Rector :FJmeritus. Father Crosby took over this post.

With th e s tart of the yeaT 1934-1935, two n ew cadets entered Hta t ero om '' 40'' to make np their berths and sett l e down to six years of study and p]av. "Bohhy" McMahon was one of t1JC s o chaps Dnrin .g· hi s at Howe he ha s made a ver:y fine re ord. He is an lrnnor st ud ent . c <litor of the Herald and in too many ot11er organizations for me to mention in the small space at my disposal. He is a fine ("'1 1iri Btian and his future is one with no 1imjtations. The otlwT lad Wl1,S our own Bob Murpliy, tlrn Irishman from the Blue -gTass ro lmtn". The record he ha s made is one to be prol1d of. too. Bol1 is an officer in the Kamm Delta Liternr>r Society and the Literary Tijditor of the T-Tern]d and Tatler. rrhe fight and dTive that this littl e Irishman ha s in hi s veins is something to see when the lid has been taken off. J\ good example of this is the fine showing ho made ont on

the gridiron fall. rI'his )·Pal' was a red letter day for the sehooJ as well ns two boy . , for this was the first >Tear of Mr. Bouton':-; tour of dut)· as Nuperintendent.

I stood looking oYer the rai lin g ouo day in September 1 and watehecl three rnoTe hoyH ascend to take their p1ace in our class. Thi' first bo,· eanied a suitca e in one hand with stickers of Detroit arnl the eoYcring most of its surfac e . In tbe other hand he carried a first-hm;ema11' mitt and a "Hank Greenher 0 ·" hat. HiR hair formed [I ridge where it stuck out from under his cap . Thus it has been P\' er since. Ben and hasehall,-synonomous in meaning. Ben Stabile-base ball player par xcclkmre, jiYe hound de luxe and aptain irnperh of "A". Ben is also the President of t1rn Varsity "TI" C luli . "Phe secorn1 lad was Ward Jensen, the ''ghost'' from PentwatE•r, Michigan. All throu()'h his years at Howe, Ward has made a fine rceord. Ire is a quiet person <loin()' a good job in whateYer h is in. Last winter, Company '' B '' had plenty to worry about witl1 Ward playing center for Company "A'. " basketball team. The tl1in1 cadet Rlrnffled his six f et thre inche. across the deck and introdnct•(1 himself, "I'm Harold Delzell from Dayton, Ohio." Since then we l1ave gotten to know ''Del'' well and we know him for what lw i , - a cadet of the fir ·t order and a real sport. As we drew up to pier No. 1036-J037 our clasR consisted of cigl1t member . H this time seven more cadets join d our ranks and witl1 a total of fift('.'en aclet . we started on our voyage through high school. When Trac>TBrown entered our cla ss I do not think he had any ioea that three yearn l ater he was to he a member of the hand, orchestra, Herald Staff and an officer in the R.O.T.O. Tracy was the manager of the 1938-1039 l1asketball team. Vincient lVIe1i was among tl1is gTon11 of new cadets . ·when he this .June h e can look back on fom years of fine work and a job well done. In four y a1\ h liaR rornc from a private to the highest mi litary rank in sc]1ool, Cadet Maior. He is president of the Comns luh and a member of many other school activities . rrh 11 tl1erc Cliai·li r f'1hP'1'lS011. "Clappy" iR editor of this hook. If you think it is tlie best hook that. lias cnr 11cen pnhlislicd, why it is ]aT gely due to hi s work and tli c hel11 of T 1 ather Mnrphr. '' i. an honor student. a meml>er of the hand and a member of the Varsity "H" Cluh. TT e made his l cttrr in football last fall. I heard one 'cadet singing "Oany Me Baek to Old Yirginy ''. I thought tbat here must be a true gentleman of tlH' old South. Rut, alas, it was ''Kay-Kenny'' Renick from a toWll somewh rn ]n Michigan. Since then we have found out who the Virg-i11y in that song is. Kenny is the hest manag r that ·oach Morgan ever had. Ask Herrick if I'm not right. Mac Wheatley waR the next n ew member of tl1e cla ss He has clone a good job in four years h his Freshman )Tear he won th chool say contest . For th past four >TearR he ha s heen a reporter on the Herald, a member of the OrdeT of Rt. Vincent and last fall h e wa. · el ected vice-1 resident of the K app11

J)clta Literary Society. Gordon was the next in line. It took about two minutes to find out that here was a lad made of the real material. He is a Second Lieutenant in 1ompany "A" and a member of the y ·arnit,v "II" Clul>, making his letter in the spring of his ] 1 reshma11 year in track. The ]ast person to enter cabin "40" tl1at year was .Tack La :B..,org·e. I would like to men ti on Joe Golden at thi · time. Joe eamc ju J 9:-37. Jack La Forge and ,Joe Golden were two of the finest ho\'S that JIo-we has e\Ter had among its sons. They were good, clean ('Ht feJlows. Both of them had a joke for every occasion and a helping kmd ju every joh. They were both memb rs of the Varsity "H" Cluh, J ack making his letter in footba11 and Joe making bi.s in tennis. Bera11Hc they were Ruch topping cadets and true friends, I dedicate thiH the Histor:v of the Cl ass of rn±O to their memory.

The next year, 1037-1938, was our Sophomore year We were no longer the under-dog Freshman, hut cadets ready, willing and ahle to lead in our different activities. Gregg Benner the "man-mountain" from 1.Jast Lansing cam on hoard. At that time, Gregg was a big rlmhh:v lad and tJie idea of being the captain of the 1989 football team wa8 far away . But the future cannot he told and Gregg' was tl1e capta in of that team and its most va lu ab l e too. His frame of Rix feet three is noug-h j11 iti;;;elf to scare tl1e opposing team to death hut Gregg made 8UTe t.heY staved scared and he gave the game all he hRd. Greg·µ; liad not gotten J1i.s bag" unpacked when a seedv sort of a lad walked into the rahin and mmouncecl bimself as Robert CharleR CodeTherg , the hest tromhone r>laYer in the Middle-West. "Cve" is a verY fmrnv person. He has foe 11onor of being t1ie "Best Butch-liair eut Owner" of the Cadet rorns. Another of his accomplishments is that of hoing: tlle president of tl1e 18011 Society or common l y known the Scienre Cluh. Sinre 11i s admittnnce as a Freshman we h a Ye come to recognize "Ovo" as the hest trombone plaver at Howe,-nfter al], tl 10 Middle-Wost is 11uitc a l arge Rpace. In tlw midst of a blnsteTing Rnow :-1torm jn NoYrrn1>cn- Donald Sc hmidt from the Hoosier can itol eanw on board and ioi.ned our group. Don dug in for a l ong w i nter mid began to nut 011t Rome i;rnod \vork He lias heen a consistent winneT of honor cards a11d h e i ,· onitr. a hall -ca rrier wl10n it comes to foot hall . .Tu. ·t ask Company "B" about that.

We were ri.Q.·M on sc llPdnl c when we drnw up to Senternber 1938. Wliat a year that wa.H. At last we had reached the U11per Rcliool and the cozv Rmoking rnorn in itR hasemcnt. A Ja.rg e group of new hovH cnteTed om r l a. s at t l1i s time. At the head of t1rn file was Jack Allonier from Cincinnati "Jake" in two years has made a record that anv cadet won ld 11e pTOud to haYe. He has made innumerable frjend8 in the Cadet Corps and biR being el ected president of this Renior cla8s shows how hi 8 feJlow classmates feel about 11im. He has made J11s varsitv Jetter in football a.ncl basel1all and be is the tre:::isurer of thP Varsity "H" Club. The next l)erson was one Edwin Rosenthaler. W11en I first saw Ed he had his candid out taking a 11 the s l10t s he could

of his fin.;t dav as a cadet. Last fall he came out to try his luck 011 the gridiron. iJ is luck \Vas good and he sfa:iyed on to bring down many au opposing hall- c arrier. Ed did not haYe the limelight for very long though, because one Robert Baker blew into the cabin with the wind of Florida to help him along. then he had a pencil and pa<l ready in rase some unfortunate cadet or master should do something that would he choice meat for that column in the Herald called EavesdTOpping·. It might be said that Mister Baker is an officer in the Kappa Delta Soriety and a memher of the hand and orchestra. His proper name iH "In The Mood" Baker.

':l1hcn there was a chap named Roger Sonucho ru. I do not remember his nick-name. He added to the humorous side of the cla. ·s. His jokes arc often good and as a girl in the 1938 produ ction of the Bad Ma11 the Comus Club, he made a perfect fair damsel in A draft of cold air blew into the cabin and Spanky Vignola, the ''good human man'' of Oak Park had arrived. Spanky made a vow at that time to be a sergeant by 1940. He has accomplished this vow, being one in Company "A" . Last fall Spankv made lii.s letter in football and was dulv initiated into the membership of the Var.sit.\1 "H" Cluh. SpankY will never forget the heavenly days of rush week. When I met Russel White l ey, 11e was assuming a pose that has s in ce become very common. He was standing at the top of the third floor stairs; in his right hand, he held a bugle, in h1s l eft was a stop watcli. He waR muttering ''four seconds, three seconds, two seconds andmess call hlew-o n the hour-on the minute-on the second '' Another borne run for "Fat ,Joe".

In N ovemher of t hi s year two more boys joined our ranks. The first was the "mad Russian from Armenia", Leon Bovajan, more common l y known as "Bonjo" to the more elite of Gray Hall In thr short time that he has been here his record has been a good one. He is a member of the Varsity "H" Club, President of the Glee Club and a main-stav in C:o::ic h Schilling's Choir . When I "Bonio". I went down to cabin "-!:O ". I grasped the doorknob and was going to enter but. instead, I found myself in a very awkward position on the floor. I had been knocked over h y an electrical shock. Instead of svmpatlw for my state, I was met by loud laughter from one John Kleinheksel. Dc::ir old ".John "-where would we be witl1out hi s nractic::i.1 fokeR and "Confucius Sayings"? If anything was wrong with a radio John would take tbe si tuation in hand and make sure it was broken. So we give a bunch of faded Mess Hall flowers to "Heksel" from Flint.

With the cold blustering winds of February, a tall dark and handsome lad stepped on board and made it known to all of us, that he, Edward Pellowe. was g·oin g to be a member of our clas s . FJd is one of those fellows who has a smile from ear to ear and I must say he uses it to good advantage. He is a member of the Varsity '' H'' Club, the Gler Club . and has done some fine acting in different plavs thiR year. With a ll tbe joy of meeting new friends and writing a new

pa ge i11 our this :vear hronght much sorrow to the Corps, Facn lh· and .:\ lunrni. :B..,oT in the spring a tTue and Joyal friend of Howe to his reward. He hacl devoted more than twent>r-five YPRTR of n Htiring senire to the school. Never ·will that grand person, the Revere nd Ining Tocld, be forgotten.

N ow we come to tho last chaptei· of our Jog book. The first cadet tl1H t I m e t was a who has g-ainecl the admiration and friendship of hi s <' las s- mates and those jn tho schoo l. I am talking about "Doc" \Yard, meml1er of the Varsjty "IT" 01ub, the student of the Student Advisor y- Council and a Prirnte I11 in.;t Cl ass in the R.O.T.C. TTo has heen a real asset to the elass and we are more tha11 pro11d to have him as a meml>er of our el ass. "Doe's" hometown is Chil.licotl 1e, Ohio. Tlis room-mate is a lso from this town. "1Digbt-ball." o,.,.erly, lik e "Doc", lin s made his l etter in three sports. He is a member of the VaT "H" Cluh. "Ba ld .v" came, saw, and conquered tho friendsh ip of oYeryone and lw wi 11 be missed greatl> r after he h as l eft on .Juno tJ1e ninth. I heard some011 e call for "Jason" and I t hou gbt that someone had eaten t o stirs''. But, it tnl'ned out to be one Swartzbaugh from Toledo. Hi s tal ent:-; for delicate work ar sornet l1in g to stand up and cheer ahont. .All year ] ie l1 as li ecn amazing eYeryone with bis scale models of s1)ced-hoats, airp l anes and ot h er what-nots . When I met Jimmy fTunt he was jm;t getting his hunk ready for the us ial morning inHpe ctiou. .Timm? is the youngest member of the cla ss but thjs bas liad i10 e ff e et 011 his grades and his being the number one member of the tennis team. rrh n "Bncl" Gl'een made his entrance . "Bud" is a rn em1>rr of the Varsity "H" Cl uh, making ]1i s letter in football last fall. He iH an honor student, ha Ying been elected into A lpha Delta T au and ha s had parts in the Comus Club presentations of this year. With the taunting me l od? of the Beer Barrel Polka played on an accordian, Warren Farkas appeared . Rumor has it t 11at he ]1as learned on e or two now songs since then hut the ''beer barrel'' is still rolling s trong. The last, but not least, new member of our class is Haro ld ·Dearth, the famed hook-collector from Sidney . Last fa11 Dearth made his Var sity foothaH Jetter and in t11e winter months he was a main fa y on the C hampionship "B" Company basketball team.

Last fall Major I. .A . Hunt came to take over t11e post of P.M.S.&T. He was relieved at Christmas time by Major A . L. Tuttle. Tbis our la s t ).,. ear at Howe has been a difficult one with many problems to solve. We heljeye these problems have been so l ved and that we l eave Howe a better schoo l than we found it. When we leave we will take only tho s e fond memories of "hull sessions", "steak feeds", the chapel and the friends we bave made among the Corps and Faculty. Behind us, we will ]eave a ll our disappointments and troubles, to the room s we have occupied. As we shake ]iand s ::md go our se1 arate way s , we wonder ..where or when we ·hall meet again.

A DIP INTO THE FUTURE

'' \Vh) · , good evening, Bob! W 011 't you come

"Wbat 'd J tell Look at that door over there: 'J . J. \llonier, Specialist in Romance.' Ah, yes. Ear]y in life h e began personal experimenting in lovers' quarrels, fomenting spats with as many individual g'ir'ls as possible, that he might exercise his ingenuity in effecting reconciliations, his theoTy being that any romance be satisfying. He seems to be working on a most unusual case. Gad l He's working on Boyajan ! Never did ho have any thouo·ht of ]ove towards any except the faithful Jeannie. ..As a result, other ladi es not being able to believe that such an one could stay sing le, hav e run after him in droves.

THE ISOH CLUB

In the second year of its ex iste n ce, th e sc ie n ce club, known as the Isoh Club, ha s more than its wort hin ess. The club was formed by Rob e rt E. Mangum for boys who arc especia ll y interested in science. The m e mb e rship incr ease d, and restrictions were mad e in order to hold down the number in the dub. A project was carried out by which one boy each m eetinggave a talk a nd demonstration on hi s favorite scie ntific interest.

On a Saturday eveni n g in March, the I so h Club provided th e e nt erta inm e nt of th e eve nin g with a Sc ie nce Fair, which was great l y e njoy e d. Then on April 26, the bo ys in the club drov e to South Be nd, inspected the Bendix Corpora tion plant and later, Notre Dam e University.

The success of the Isoh C lub is largely clu e to the two se m es ter pres id e nts, Charles Clappison, and Robert to Mr. Sipe, the Faculty Adviser, and to th e m e mb ers of the club.
