Finally the time has come for us, the Seniors of 19±1, to move away from the happ:r shores of Howe. During our year here we have had many trials and tribulations but in retrospect we realize the im1 ortant part that Howe has played in our grooming for the future.

We sincerely ·hope that we have marked ourselves in the annals of the school and as our last effort we present this hook.

S OF 1941 DEDIC ·ATE

this TATLER to one of the finest men we have ever known, whose friendship and advice we hold in the utmost respect.

Wife of the Superintendent and daughter of the Rector Emeritus

.B1 or eighteen years Headmaster at Howe. Graduate of Howe and School Physician.

CLASS HISTORY 1941

A way back in 1854, the Howe Hotel was founded. The farsighted founders of this hotel saw great visions of outstanding tenants, but in 1931 the bubble broke. Tlrn bubble breaking came with the registxation of the first member of the class of '41. So it is with this thought in mind that we go through the pages of the registration book and pick up a trace of our class.

Early in September of '31, Jack Palmerlee stepped into the lobb y armed with ''Tootsie Toys'' and a squirt gun. Since then, Jack, (alias" brains"), has worked his way through the Lower School and has finally reached the rank of Lieutenant Adjutant.

In the same year a young boy waded through a deep snow fall and skipped merrily into the hotel. When the room cl erk, Major Little, finally figured out the southern drawl, he placed ''Milt'' Henden;on on the first floor. "Mi1t" is now on the top floor, 11 eing Captain of '' B '' Company and leading the Old Guard. On the way to the top floor it must be said that our southern hero had several conflicts with the very efficient house detective, Major Merritt.

Business was a little bad in and the hotel business was no exception,-no new tenants arrived. Business was getting ·worse in '33, hut this had no bearing on the arrival of "Finn" Duffy. "Pinn" is 'one of the boys,' and as such he has learned all of the ro1 es ; however he found that some of these ropes had many knots in them. ''Finn'' was sent to his room on that day in '33 and found that the number of the room was '2:22 '. "Finn" is a sergeant in '' B ", a tennis player, a great sportsman, and is also caught in Cupid's firm grasp; it seems enough has been said.

In 1935 a blonde whirhvind whipped up to the desk and registered at the Howe Hote l. Charli e Dautel, "D" as he is known to the gang, immediately took things over and threatened to attack the manager with his trusty baseball bat. Reason: The manager refused him room service. '' D'' decided to use tlie automatic elevator on the wa)r up. When the top floor was reached someone below, Herman by name, pushed the button and the elevator descended ... with "D". He still had his baseball bat with which he smashed his way up to the top again, with a so lid hit when the chips were down. "D" was and always will be 'one of the boys'.

'" With a rumb l e and a roar and a smashing on the door, Leslie politely walked ju and demanded a room. 616 was available 'SO it was there· that he went. In case you haven't guessed, it's Mr. Robert Clancy that we speak of, known to all as "Rick". "Rick" had a liking for automatic elevators as did "D", and again Herman pushed the button and down he went. This speciman used his old football spirit and with a bit of broken field running, also ascended the stairs to success . ''Rick'' will always be look ed upon as 'one of the boys' in the deepest sense of the words. When ''Rick'' checked in back in

'3l), our da ss uuml>ere<l only five tenants, but in the four remaining y ear s we w ere destined to welcome thirty-seven new In th e ve ar of tbe hotel aclrnrtised extensively and the desired r es ults we1:e :-;oon manifest. Tbe first to check in was a chubby little lad , who e rnn then had s ome Tatler ads in his suitcase; the new tenant was George ..Allendorph. In bis four years here, George ha s made a fine name for him se lf and now ranks as the second man in th e hotel. George took 11i s room with the idea of long steady work and has accomplished his goal.

·with a hearty 'Snizer-whaz' and a 'glouper daz', Frank Brandt made his way briskly up to the desk and inquired as to a room for four years. The other pen;;orn; in the hotel were not aware of the loud antics of this fellow uutil he developed the new and unique 'Snazer 1auµ;uage '. llis loud voice carried him to a place as head cheer l eader, and hiH faithful work has raised him to the rank of sergeant in "B" ( 1 ompan) '.

There was heard a loud l aughing at the door on that day in September, and in walked "Willie" Cederberg He alarmed the people in the lobh;' , who -vvere fast asleep over theiT work, with his loud and lust,\' questions at the information desk. Captain Preston was behind tlie cle$k and ]H'Oill]Jtly assured "vVi lli e" that he would have an icewater tap, a lmth, room service, and all the trimmings right in hi. room. ''Willie'' brought along a basketball which he kept throwing through the basket all through his years with us, and ha s finally gotten np on the last ]anding as au officer.

''Who is that fellow over there with the checkered suit on?'' said a hoarder one ''Oh, I just heaTd him register, and his name is William Gardner.'' Someone cut off the 'iam' on his name and put tlie word slicker in front, so it is by this token that we came to know t]1i .· new tenant a. ''Slicker Will'' . Evidently the hotel did not give enough seiTice, foT ''Slicker vVill'' had to take a great number of week-ends, always offering a feeble excuse for l eaving . In th e time that he did spend here, however, he did a fine job and climb ed the stairs to the g oal he had set-being an officer.

''Big Bill'' Hudson checked in with a grip full of test tubes and a Bun ·en Burner, and took up his residence in the hotel. ''Big Bill'' tTOd the straight and nanow path and rose smoothly to the top floor. He l eaYes this year with second lieutenant stripes, after attaining the knowledg-e he came to get.

A red-headed youth came str idin g into the lobby with a lon g coil of cloth es line and announced himself as "Bud" Knowlson. This is the l ad who after four years of hard work has risen to be Cadet Major, and now he is u s ing the clothes line for decoration purposes. In all sincerity, we must relate the fact that "Bud" has done a fine job of hujlcling up our military m1it, and he also is an all around fellow. He has taken a lot of razzing and come throug:Q with the best of the battle. So, let's give credit where credit is due.

They still poured in and in the flow came ''Ernie'' Vickers, compl et ely equipped with an If.:nglish accent, tennis racquet and crew cap. After four years of good work, ''Ernie'' has all of his origina l equipment plus a Captain's rank and the liking of all of his fellow tenants.

vVith a 'huff' and a 'puff', (mostly 'puff'), in walked "Zurn, Rhubarb" Xanders, awakening all of the lobb yists For the fiTSt week ''Zurn'' had a lot of trouble with his shoes; you see, ''Zurn'' had never worn them before. Since'' Zurn 's'' favorite sport was eating, he wormed his way into the confidence of the hotel dietitian and he is still going strong after four years . Being one of 'the boys' "Zurn" could not be held back, and he made his way to the top of the hotel and is now ranking officer in the band. Being somewhat like Ferdina11d the Bull, ''Zurn'' will soon be happy sitting in his fields of rhubarb and smelling th e stalks.

In the year 1938, our second year in the big time, we had five new tenants arrive . The first to make his appearance was Charlie Dew, asking in a literary tongue, "Whea' is the stage door, Charles Dew has made a name for himself in his thr ee years and has become one of the few third year commissioned officers. He claims that his greatest accomplishment was the winning of a steak dinner from Mr . Potter because of his high grade on the English co-op test. Rushing through the swinging door, and beating out rhyt hm on the registration desk, Jimmy Emery made his grand entrance to the hotel. When he had calmed down a little bit, the residents observed that he was signing up for three years . Since then he has been a ll oYer the hotel, up and down, in and out; "Cricket" tried the el e ,'a tor and the thing again came down .. . you'll have to guess who pushed the button this time. Jimmy was 'one of the boys' and always had a cheery word at the right time. It is a certainty that no one in the group of tenants will eyer forget '' Jimminy Cricket'' Emery.

A quiet little fell ow followed Emery into the hotel and asked for hi s room. ''Tommy'' Thomas was soon discovered to be one of t11e nicest fellows and best friends to all in the hotel. The proof of this is the fact that he received the medal for the Most Trustworthy Cadet in the Middle School that year. When "Tommy" dropped out in '39 all of his friends were sorr:v, but they were overjoyed when they welcomed his return in '40.

"Chief" Whitehouse's name appeared on the register, but no one could find him to say hello. The reason for all of this was that ''Chief'' was busy shooting 'craps' with the bell-boys in the baggage room. The ''Chief'' had his ups and downs, but has finally come through and is a second lieutenant in Company "A". The "Chief" was 'one of the boys' and his duty in the gang was that of cook. When lie was asked to sign his name as chef, he complied by spelling the WOTd 'chief' and thus his nickname.

All eyes were up-lifted when an important looking man calmly strolled into the hotel, he was Robert \Vuerth. He promptly set about

makin g th e h ig hes t of grades and tinkering with everyone's radio. Lat 0r on in hi s career he founded the W.R.C.W. radio station and the e Y '" er famom; 8.I.C. '11lrns we hav e been honored by having the one and 011 h · Roh vVu e rth in r e sidence h e re and a pleasure it has been, too . \ t 'the elos e of the year 10:18, ·we were all sorry to hear that one of our best friend s at th e hotel had left for another duty, and 80 it wa s with weak voie es that we bid goodbye to Lt. Col. A. 0. Young who was transferred to Texas.

·we all left 011 our vacation to the seashore and the mountains and had a great time. Upon our return to the hotel, we found that there were some n e w guests there. The first one that met the searching eyes was 0110 Burnett, l>etter known as "Burwith ". The first thing that "Burwith" did was to try to have the trnvel agency, handled by Mr ., \ ikrnan, fix up a trip hack to Detroit. It was no dice. '' Burwith'' has done a swell job with his athletics and is a technical sergeant on the staff. Ile has made the most of two years and carries two years of effort with him.

The crowd was standing around the desk in the lobby when Dale Ek, showing his superior strength, forced his way to the front and declared that he ·would register first. Ek has made a formidable record in his two years and will graduate as a sergeant in Company '' B ''. He will be remembered for his fine playing on the company football team and his all aTom1d good nature.

The crowd had to move back as a chap with a target rifle stood them all off and went through. This was Harley Grigg, the crack pot, (I mean shot), with a rifle. Harley is also a sergeant in "B" and plays in the band .

.Also in this group that came in '39, was a lad from around the corner named rrom Henry. ''Hank'' just seemed to be living for the dar of the government hike and he made the most of it, too. Henry is one of the regular custornern of the hobby shop, as well as playing some nice football on the "B" Company team.

gvery basketball team needs a good manager, and it happened that in this group was the fellow that was to prove that he was the best in this field. "Moe" Morehouse is the tenant in question, and he was an excellent manager. ''Moe" has been pecking away at the awards made around the hotel and he has been able to carry away several of thorn in the shape of honor cards, conduct ribbons, and is now a sergeant. ''Moe'' is a fine fellow and we have all enjoyed living with him.

The wind hlew, etc., and in walked John G. Mudge who has an argument for everything. He, first of all, tried to talk the manager, Mr. Bouton, out of his room; he found out that it was no use so he settled for a room in "B" Company John is known better as "Judge", nd he has done fine work as editor of the Herald . We all hope that the "Judge" will have an easier time on the trip home after Commencement than he did spring vacation.

We all thought that Tom Porter was just wandering around the country and dropped in at the Howe Hotel for a few days, but it was discovered that he really had started from New York with the idea of coming to this hotel. Porter is a sergeant in '' B '' and one of the favorites of Mr. Powell, our cashier. He has been a good fellow and will go down as a fine example of an easterner.

Looking around the lobby, we spotted an ashy looking chap that thought he ought to hide; his name was Richard Russell. When the tenants asked him to come out of hiding, he immediately was at ease and started talking so fast and so loud that no one could hear anyone else . "Rich" is a sergeant in "B" and a good scout, also a friend of everyone.

There was only one person in that crowd that could get in a word and that turned out to be "Gun" Timm. He started out with a story that would have gone into the night had someone not offernd him a cigarette. ''Gun'' is also a sergeant in '' B '' and one of the best talkers in the hotel.

''Fat Joe'' appeared on the scene waving an alarm clock and a bu g l e, shouting defiance to anyone who could sleep through one of his fir s t calls. For his time at the hotel "Fat Joe" has been made a first sergeant. Whiteley is one of the best trumpeteers in the band and we look for him to be playing when he leaves the hotel.

'I1he person who was to be the president of our group stood there in the lobby after all the rest had been registered. He l ooked disgusted with all the confusion that surrounded the elevator, as the group filed in; there was J olm Wright . In two years, ''Fielding'' has done a great amount of work and surely deserves all the credit he is get ting. J olm is a stickler for detail and the next time a new guest came in, he boarded the elevator in a more orderly manner under the dire ction of John Wright. "Wielding" leaves the hotel this year as a first sergeant in "B" Company.

The year rolled on and on and on until almost spring time. One day during this happy season a chap by the name of Ed Kotas drove into the garage and told the crew, Mr. Sipe and Mr. Morgan, to park hi s car, for he was going to stay a while. Ed arrived with a breath of spring and has been as happy ever since. He has been in the hotel for only one and a half ye ars and he is now a sergeant and a company stand-by of ''A''. 1-Dd is the hoy you see out there at the ball games, giviilg the batters about 1 per cent chance to get a hit.

1940 finall y came, and with its arrival came a group of future draftees. They stopped in at our hotel for a one year's stay, which netted them quite a lot of instruction and knowledge.

"Bud" Barlow entered wearing swimming trunks and demanding a place to park his car. The shark found to his surprise that the management required its tenants to walk so he dejectedly sent his 'T' back home. Bud waited table in his spare time and gave excellent ser,·ice. No amount of coffee was too much for the tables he served .

t>Y '11 though th e hOlrn c detective was lying in watch for him. Mr. B. ha :-; h (' r o m e an efficient P.F.C., and sports an exceptionally fine record. \Ye will all he son)· to leaY e a friend like "Bud".

"Y"ie" Bray plunged in with much intelligence and enough drive lHrwer to get hims e lf made a corporal in his one year's visit to the hotel. IT e sp ent a good deal of his time playing basketball in the gym for'' ... \'' ( \nnpan) , and the re s t working hard to make his high academic rcrord.

( )n a balm)· dar at football camp, a large truck drove up in front of the hotel and its driver calmly unloaded a mass of athletic equipment. The pile of article s included basketballs, footballs, baseballs, bats, and a bomb helt er. 'l1he manager, demanding to learn the ow1wr of this junk, wm; promptly informed by a stocky little gent that it he longed to the "W ond r Man", Junior Churchi ll. The stock)T gent wm; really the "\.Vond r Man'', Junior Churchill, and he to1d ever.rnne that this junk was his while he grinned from ear to ear. '' ( 1lrnrcb '' w;;ed all of these things in the pile of junk to mold a fine career here. He worked his way up to become a corporal and has done fine academic work. Here is truly one of our proudest possessions.

That same sunny day an accident occured at the establishment . A large two hor s e power airplane cracked into our roof, but we are to ' ay that no one was hurt, and little damage was done. From the wre kage te1)ped Mr. Durbin, still reading a pamphlet entitled, ''II ave You EYer Flown an Our friend had obviously not gone faT in the hook. Deanna has made a good record in conduct and in his school work, and has been liked by all of his housemates as heing a s traight-forward and all around good fe1low

..Another occurrence of last fall was the registration of one of our smaller hoys. This fellow cl aimed that he could play basketball, a statement doubted by all in view of his small stature . "Big Mac" Mc Vey prnved to u s that he did play an excellent game, though, and all through the season he put them through the hoop. Being only 6' 5'' his chief difficulty vrns in getting· off shots against the big fe ll owH. He has done a fine bit of academic work during his stay and is a corporal who does the company clerk job for "B ".

Several girls walked in one day and in their midst was our Danville flash, Philip Pearcy . Phil remained-the girls left-you know the rest. ''Dearest s o and so ; I miss you more and more as the days go by." yes! For a chano·e of subject it might be said that during Phil's stay here he has made many friends-I'll take ten please" Hello operatod" What are we To get back on the track again Phil has made a fine record for himself, playing football, '' B'' basketball and baseball for the Alma Mater. Yes, he did go to school and did O.K. there, too.

Paul Willits, ''Super Sheik'', checked in very calmly last fall and has been working hard ever since . Occasionally, he closed his books

for a game of basketball or tennis. Between times he became a corporc] and made a perfect all-around record.

The next anival had a slight misfortune as he stepped i.n front of the desk. Poor guy dropped his suitcase. The bellboys were on hand though so they picked up the scattered articles among whicl1 were dice, cards, a black-jack and several guns. "Mark" as he was known, got along well at the hotel and had a ver . r successful stay .

With a screeching of tires, Jim Zollman pu ll ed up in his 'one lunger' to stay with us for a while. Jim played football, basketball and a good game of poker; however, we don't think he wil] eYer say doub]e or nothing in "B" Company againg. Jim was on the bright and sunny· ide, too, and did well in school and with his military work.

Due to· an over-time nap the next man was a little late in checking i11. When he did arrive though he was in all his glory, . purn tinkled, hoots stomped and a banjo rnndered a weaTy desert song . ''Tex'' Reese made his appearance. To the manager his first words ·were, "I'm Tex, you sell 'em we give 'em away, Reese. I'd like a room; a '/carm room, please . I haYen't seen the , un north of Louisville. You all play footbal' up So do we.

Yeah, I've plarcd. '' Well, he did, too, and was an im1 oTtant man on the football, basket1rn11 and baseball teams. ''Tex'' was truly 'one of the and one that we won't forget. He has made good at everything he has done here and will leave with eveTyone a friend.

Well, we've taken everyone from ten years back and come right up to the present. It has been our idea to give you some of the light side of what has happened at Howe Hotel; we sincerely hope that we have succeeded .

THE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY

We have recentlv received letters from the entir class of '-±1 and now publish interestii1g exerpts from them. The Seniors of '41 promised to send these letters to us ten years after their gTaduation . Here they are:

Allendorph, in his letter, says . . . ''and the only thing I find wrong with thjs , ociety life is the food. I'm getting terribly tired of caviar and ... ''

Barlow's letter, written on tissue paper, merely said that he had purchased another Model ''A'' and that it was workin°· swell. I 1io11e so.

Brandt's note, carefully written and steTilized, came telling about his success in the movies. Claims he was "the one who ruined Gable."

Vic Bray, still a Junior at Ripon, is planning' to graduate next )·ear. ''The draw-hack is Spanish. I'm getting 'C' ' in everything e l se ."

\Vhitehouse, on the other hand, has finally graduated from the I Iarvard School of Law. ''Everybody at Howe told me I could ne\'·er pass the entrance exams, but now . . . ''

Burnett says, '' Sangger whopper whipper snap. Woggle fizzer flip . . ''

We have received a very interesting letter from our old friend Clrnrchill. " lmrch" s ays tlmt he is making a succes of bis job in New York. He's teaching music there in a home for the deaf and <lum h. And be never had a lesson in his life!

Dante] was unable to write because of hi.. newe . t job. He' s that g uy in front of the downtown t:itores picketing for the Union. "Dee's" the one carry ing the portable radio.

Duff y writes, "Krupa and I have ju s t written a new piece that <'alls for a fast drnm ln-eak. We couldn't decide wl1ich of us shou ld phl) it so I'm letting Gene do it "

" I've just made m)· twenty-third parachute jump and it -was !\rn, as u ,·ual. They were wrong at school when they said that one must work hi s way up. I'm sure starting at tbe top.'' Nice work Dnrhin.

Ek, of all peo1 le, is in the Navy. Traitor! i_nywar, he writ that li e wishes he wa · back on dry land. an 't you see our Dale wa1ki ng down th e street " i_ wolf in 'ships' clothing ."

Naturally, we would expect to hear of l!imery's success in the big wo l'ld. "Louie Ramsey and I are running that new 'Bring-em-backa liY e' agency in DetToit. We bTing all kinds of a11imals, especia lly· hircls, ha ck from the wilds. Of cours , if there 'ivas anyt]1ing to break ... ''

Now we hear from Will Gardner: '' ... and tell Mr. Downs that he was right I have just been made foreman on this project and I

ab out tw cuty of the finest negroes working under me. They are g- ood worker H , fine men and ... '' Grigg i8 still holding forth at Howe Summer Camp . ''. . . and I 'rn <.loing swell here. \Ve still get our nightly walks and I've met ... '' ..:\s ) ' OU know, Ilenderson is a member of the United States Air (_ 1 orps. '' ... but I never expected to end up heTe. It was only after I found that the had to carry packs that I decided to ride for a-while."

1I cur;· writes, ''I am working at a lumber yard here that I have just taken ovel'. It forrnerly belonged to my father but now it's entire])· under my superviHion. '' Nice going, Hank.

"Hip; Bill" TI nelson, after years of work, ha s perfected a six months t·m·e for the seven .\·em· itch. 11ow about a four day treatment for the tlirrc day measle ?

Knowlsou is a sucreHs, too. ''I'm practically running thiH place 110\Y. I waH made president of the Lafayette Street Tailors A ssociation last week. \Ve 're trying for a much larger turnover next month. \ n)·time yon 're in To ledo, just drop in." 0. K. "Bud" .

Kotas writ s that he is on the road for that new breakfast food, 'Krack l)·-Knmc hys '. "I'Ye fina1ly found my best point. It's selling. I ne, er thought that I could sell an:vthing, but I know now that I can.'' We knew you had it in you, Ed.

''I'm \ cl')' happily married now,'' writes McVey, ''but the only trouhl is, I married a five foot, two inch girl. It somewhat bothers me wh 11 we dance.''

II 1 :M orehousc 's letter, (post marked-Shugis), says, "Now I have all the time I want hcl' without having to wony. I've been married twice mid I 'rn still looking. My time will come .''

Mr. Mudge writeH that b e is still in law and that it's a swell profession. "Rince :B-,ranklin is till in power, I'm assured of a job. rrhe onl)' thing T really enjoy, though, is getting paid to argue. T l0arned a lot from Mr. Potter.''

Palrnerlee, well, we can't make much out of it except that it's sig11ed: ''1st Lieut ..J. D. Palmerlee, R.O. T.C. Staff.'' Make what ) ' On can out of that. We've given up. Wonder ...

P hil Pearcy sent us a hatch of "Famous Last Words." We were sort of surprised at that. We've never heard of them. Much!!

Mr. Porter is sti ll trying to figure out which co lle ge to go to. "Penn State, Duke, . . . They 're both the same . What difference does it I wish I knew, Tom.

Reese is playing ball for Texas State Penitentiary now and is the star plH)'er. "I didn't have any trouble at all making the team. vVe 've a good team and we expect to beat Dallas Reform next week. A l thou gh they have a pretty tough team, I '' We know you' ll be good in there "Tex".

Russell has just usurped the famous McCarthy team. ''I dou 't know how I did it. I just looked at the man once and here I am.''

''I have just won another race and I promise I will do it again. Mr new 'hot air' motor is working fine and I don't think I'll ever run out of fuel.'' I doubt it, Kirk.

At last we've heard from Thomas. He says he's graduating soon. It seems he is still using that method of going to one school one year, changing and going to another one, then going back to the first one again. The only trouble is that he loses one semester each time be changes, so he isn't making such good time.

"Ernie" Vickers was deported la t year . It seems that all the time he was hern, he wa learning our system of military training. It was all for tbe Mother Country. I'm afraid we won't hear from him . watt, as you should have guessed is manufacturing medals. "I got most of my training for this at Howe and I'm glad of it . If it lmdn 't been for that I wouldn't be doing so well.''

Willits, the prosperous doctor of ottleville, reports, ''The death rate here has been considerably lowered in the last two years. Due to my great treatment, we've only lost two out of three cases of measles. The other twenty people were not even bothered . '' Medica l treatment, de luxe, Paul.

"lv e had better skip this one from Wright . If anyone should care to know, just write the Easthaven Asylum in Indiana . They say it was overwork, but I have my doubts. You know John . Wuerth i, unable to write as he has already sent one letter this month . Yon see, he got cauo·ht once too often on the air. You know how strict they are at Alcatrez.

Xanders is frying to raise enough money to send another generation to Howe. '' .. . and we must keep up the tradition.''

Well, we've come to the end of the list of our old ·friends. It was nice to hear from them. Carry on, Class of Forty-one !

AROUND THE YEAR WITH THE LOWER SCHOOL

The boys and the staff of the Lower have had a busy and happy year together.

Starting with a new set of officers the company developed day by day until the silent drill and parades were perfected. The roster of student officers was: Second Lieutenants, Rupprecht and Weeman; First Sergeant, Parr; Sergeants, Fox, W11iteside, Kennedy; Corporals, Birch, Eccles, Macbeth, Dodge, Gross C., Calheck, Rose; Privates :B'irst Class, Lear, Doig, Leslie, Southworth, Zerilli, Heller, Hudson, Klock, Morgan, Gould A., Hanna, Rine. These officers and Lt. Stuckey were complimented on the first and many other parades. The boys who won the most citations during the year in military were: Birch, Zerilli, Calheck, Dodge, Hanna, Pan, Radel, Weeman, Kennedy and Gross C. Rhine, too, has won many best-drilled contests. Special mention should be made of Cain, Zerilli and Pickard for the wonderful conditions of their rooms and alcoves during the year. Also, there were thirty-thTee conduct ribbon winners thjs year. Tb ere were over twenty boys who went home early because of good privileges. Twenty-four boys weTe on the Star List.

Prospects in football at the start of the season looked very gloomy as a large number of old boys went to the Middle. The Knick and White Seniors had a thrilling series with the games resulting as follows: Knick 13-Whites 13; Knick 35-Whites 6; Knick 24-Whites U. Knicks won the series, Whiteside, Zerilli, Calbeck and Leslie playing fine ball. After the series, the squad was organized to meet several strong teams,-the champion Meridian team ·of Lafayette unscored on, the strong White Pigeon and the strong Middle School Midgets. A squad of thirty-three boys was taken to Purdue where they were wen treated and played fine ball against a superior team. Several old boys, including Reisig, Peterson, Frost, Bailey and Sanders, played in the game. A return game was played at Howe when the Meridian squad was entertained. The Midget series was exciting and close, the Lower only losing on Thanksgiving Day when they couldn't score from the five foot line in the snow. By tying this game the Midgets won the series which then stood three ties and 2-1 wins. The scoring was even on both sides: Midgets 13-13; Midgets 20-Lower 13; Midgets 6-Lower 6 (F ounders' Day); Lower 12-Midgets 0; Midgets 6-Lower 0. F'inal game Lower 0-Midg-ets 0. Special mention should be made of the parents who kindly carried the squad to Purdue,-Mr. Calbeck of Ligonier, Mrs. Birch of Detroit and Mr. Kennedy of Muncie. Rose was the player who showed the best spiTit, Whiteside, the best player, Captain Weeman piloted the team, Calbeck, the most improved player, Hudson, the gTitty tackler, who played stellar ball until an injury kept him out of play, Poljak the smallest member of squad who created a sensation with his stellar, spirited play before the big stadium crowd at Purdue against the Meridian team-all these deserve special mention. Fr. Jennings and Mr. Kelly

coached the 8quad. Reisig was the star captain of the Middle who pJarcd on the I1owe Midgets. The letter men of the Lower Varsity were: Birch, Calbeck, :F 1erris, Gross J., Heller, Jones, Leslie, Macbeth, Hose, Rupprecht, ·weeman, Whiteside, Zerilli.

In a social way events crowded the calendar all year . The big opening e\·ent was the grand get-together wiener roast when all the new boys hecame acquainted with the old. Everything was perfect for the night. n1e weather was fine with a harvest moon shining down. Mrs. Miller, Lt. Stuckey and Fr. Jennings served the delicious eats to the crowd of hungry boys. There were the usual fun-making stunts and marshmallow and wiener roasting around the fire. Everyone had a fine fone getting acquainted.

It 't long before the great red l etter event of the fall came, the Ifallo--we 'en Party and Frolic in the li ving room of \Vhit e Hall. The costumes were unique and clever. Also the room was decorated and eerie-like for the occasion hy Mr. Hurst. \.. happy crowd of :voungsters and grownups gathered The best lookin g costume prizes went to Whiteside and Eccles, the most comical to Morgan and Bernsf ord, the most original to Macbeth and Neely. There was apple hobbing, fortune. · a real fortune teller, musica] chairs and refreRh ments serYed hy the Rices, Mrs Miller and Mrs. Slater. It was a coloTful an l happy event.

Near the Christmas vacation came the big party held in the Lower Living Room. There were two trees prettily decornted by Mr. Rice, Miss Miller and Mrs. Miller. Santa made his welcome visit and talked to all the young people giving out presents to the boys and children of the campus. Carols were sung and refreshments were erved . The meeting was in charge of the McKenzie Literary Society officers. The boys held the annua l small car auto races in the gym immediately after the party was o'i'er. Many parents and campus guests were present to help ce l ebrate the Christmas season .

The mid-winter soc ial event for the Lower was the annual football banquet at the Kingsbury Hotel, held in honor of the Lower Varsity lTootball quad. The faculty and the staff of the Lower and Mr. Bouton were guests as were the Howe Midgets who helped the Lower p la y ao·ainst Meridian. There were many favors and featured programs at the dinner.

On Ma) r 2-!th came the biggest dance of the year . This year the dancers and guest · were transported to the Hawaiian Islands. The li ving room was transformed by a large painted set with artificial palms. There were native dances, and the lei and grass skirts were in evidence. The guests danced to the soft strains of Hawaiian music. Even the door prizes were from distant Hawaii. Miss Miller's dancers from Elkhart, Misses Mary Ann Stout, Marilyn Russell, and Sally Davis gave a fine floor show . There were balloons dropped from the cei lin g during one of the featured dances. The dancing instruction in the fall helped tremendously towards a good time.

.

Immediately after football season, boxing instruction was given to all cadets in preparation for the Golden Gloves which was held in the early spring. The Golden Glove finalists were in Class I, Zerilli against Calbeck; Class II, Rine against Weeman; Class III, Macbeth against Eccles; Class IV, Klock against Hudson and Class V, Poljak against Corrado. Also, at the pre-Christmas season Fr. Jennings gave tumbling instruction to the whole group searching for material for the exhibition in June. After the holidays, there was some skating at Still Lake; also some tobogganing behind Lt. Stuckey's car on the big sled.

The basketball season started in earnest after the holidays with of practice for the many new candidates. There were oniy Weeman and Whiteside from last year's team to build upon. A strong schedule was played including the Midgets, LaGrange, Lima, Pike School, Franklin, and Maumee . Mr . Kelley's team impToved steadily. The club series was won by the Whites under the leadership of Radel and Hudson. IDwers scored most for the Knicks in a very close and exc iting series. The Junior Whites won under the leadership of Poljak. There was a round robin tournament in which nearly all the school participated. After a number of games the winner ·was a Knick team composed of Whiteside, Zerilli, Macbeth, HOTsman and Gross J. The lettermen of the basketball Varsity were: \Veeman, Cal.beck, vVhiteHide, Zerilli, Leslie, Rose, Macbeth and Smith C .

The Ping Pong tournament was participated in by most of the school. After a close tournament \Veeman was victorious in the older group and Birch in the sixth grade and under. Meda l s were given the winners.

There were twenty candidates from the Lower out for tumbling. Henderson and Dautel are practicing on balance and double movements . Reisig, Peterson, Kopsch, Wells and Brussel are working hard . With these boys as a nucleus and many new candidates from the Lower, Beresford, Bouton, Grnss J., Hudson, Parr, Morgan, Poljak, Zoll, Rose, Klock, Radel, we will haYe a fine exhibition in June . There will he features added to the Fiery Hoop of Death and the clown fall. Henderson will take the lead this year in place of Glendinning.

During the early spring months the soft ball series ·was begun between the Knicks and the \iVhites in the . large gymnasium. rrirn Whites won all three by large scores. The Varsity softball team was strong and is shaping itself up fine for its games with LaGrange, Lima, and other Grammar School teams of the county. There was a hard ball series between the clubs and outside teams.

I-1Jach boy has been given tests in his class to see how he measures up physically foT his age. These consisted of chinning-s, dashes, jumps, etc. The best marksman was decided on the out-of-door target. Fiach boy in the school was required to take part.

The Todd Literary Society enjoyed a very successful season taking part in many activities and holding the usual interesting Sunday

uight meetings. rrhe following of firers were elected to preside ornr tho meetings: Larry Bouton, President; Jack Poljak, Vice-President; .J olm Gross, Treasurer; Dominick Corrado, Sergeant-at-Arms. Under the instructions of thei1· Rponsor, Mrs. Kelly, the boys quickly learned to conduct their own meetings according to traditional rules and also learned to plan and carry out their program:::;.

The McKenzie Literary Society was under the leadership of the following officers: President, \Veeman; Vice-President, Parr; Secretary Klock; Parliamentarian, Fox; Entertainment Committee, Birch, Eccles, Rupprecht and R.ose. Many movies such as ''Land of the F'ree ","Christmas Carol," "Yeste1·day and To-Morrow," a wonderful movie on Hussia taken by Mr. II cwitt. He also gave a very interesting lecture on these pictnres. Fr. J enuings gave an illustrated lecture in color on the Lo-w Celehration of Holy Communion. These pictures were taken in our Mothers' Chapel b)T Fr. Murphy . 'I1he society was fortunate in hearing a talk from Ismail Khalidi of Palestine, who spoke to th e ,boys on St. George's School in Jerusalem. He compared the customs at Howe with those of St. George's. He told about the three religions that attend the school,-Moslems, Jews and Christians living in harmony within the school walls . There was an interesting debate between the Knicks and -Whites, ''Resolved that Guard Squad should be abolished.'' Fox, Southworth and Rose representing the Whites won the debate. The McKenzie Literary Society represented the Lower School in honoring George Washington at Blake :Hall. The boys who gave declamations were: Weeman, Klock, Bouton, Torrey, Gross C. and Morgan. All did well.

During the year there has been a faithful group of acolytes,-ten of them being confirmed this April. The headserver was Kennedy with Weeman as assistant. There were meetings held for instruction in churchmanship and the proper manner of serving. Corporate Commnnions were held with a fellowship breakfast following. Those who were in the group were: Rose, Gross, Gross J., Weeman, Dodge, Birch, Gould A., Eccles, Macbeth, Kennedy, Doig, Klock, Bouton and Morgan.

This year the Lower has contributed to the choir success with two soloists, Rose and Parr. Other voices which added to the choir's success were: Parr, Dodge, F1 ox, Rine, Rose, Clemett, Gross C., Kampe, Radel, Bouton, Eccles, Jones, Heller and Morgan. Mr. Schilling has had practice in group singing each morning in the Lower just before school begins.

At Christmas time the dramatic society gave a beautiful mystery play called the "Empty Room" directed by Mr. and Mrs. Kelly. The scene was laid in the Inn at Jerusalem. The set was placed in the Lower gym by Mr. Potter and his assistants. All the cast gave a reverent performance and impressed the audience very much with their sincerity. Many parents and guests were present to encourage the youthful actors. \Veeman and Fox did very well.

The Lower boys gave generously to the mite boxes this past Lent,money which they want sent to China.

In the academic work this yeaT the following boys have he en in Beta Lambda Sigma, the highest academic society in the Lower: \TV eeman, Rose, Jones and Lear. Other boys who have had honor rating are: Klock, Ewers, Radel and Bouton. Meetings were held and social good times arranged,-one joint social meeting at Ft. Wayne with the two honor societies of the Upper and Middle. Many reward of merit .cards have been issued this year in English to Klock, Rose; in Heading, FJccles, Ferris, ,Jones, Lear, Klock, Bouton, Horsman; in Spelling, Eccles, Ferris, Jones, Lear, Hanna, Klock, Bouton, Kampe, Penarowski; in Arithmetic, Evans, Rose, -f..,v eeman, Klock, Gross J.; in Science, F},Tans, Jones, Klock and in Social Studies, Weeman, .Jones and Klock.

'.:l1he library has added several sets of books for reference work. Many different hobbies have taken up some of tlrn boy's time in the winter months. TheTe was the photographic contest and the airp]ane contest. Lear's dark room saw much use while radio lrnilding and model airplane building occupied Rine 'H, McPherson's and Leslie's time.

Dming the year the Art department has had its usual exhibitions, the various activities and projects carried on in its classes. These projects included those in the realm of fine arts as well as of handicrafts. Among the finer arts, Whiteside, Rose, McPherson, Jones, Clipsham and Graf have found an outlet for their talents in numerous drawings and paintings while those whose interests were in handicraft have displayed their skill in weaving, braiding, knotting, metal tapping, woodcarving and numerous other activities.

This year an official Boy Scout Troop was chartered in the Lower School under the auspices of the Boy Scouts of America. Lieutenant Kelly who was selected as Scoutmaster chose as potential patrol leaders: Evans, Weeman, Calbeck, H.ose and Parr . These then embarked upon a training period during which they received instruction wbich would enable them to assume their designated responsibilities . Upon the competition of this course several new boys were selected as candidates for membership in the troop . Aspirants to the Tenderfoot Class were: Leslie, Jones, Zoll, Gross C., Eccles, Treesh, Lear, ..Whiteside, Rine, Klock, Logan and Birch. New boys were assimilated as rapidly as good organization would permit.

The Scouts were divided into two patrols. ·weeman was designated as Troop Leader, Calbeck and Evans as Patrol Leaders, and Rose and Parr as assistant Patrol Leaders

The Lower passed the government inspection and was commended on its special drill and the neat appearance of its rooms.

Two wheel rides, one to Shipshewana and the other to Ft. Wayne came near the end of the year. The sixth grade took the first ride and the boys who recited the catechism the long ride . On the morning of

the seeond of ,June, very ear ly, the crowd of cyclers started out for the Kingsbury Hotel, first leg of the journey After a big breakfast, the squad rode on its way to LaGrange, Wolcottville, Rome City and Kendallville. Next stop was at Avilla at the hotel where rest and refreshment was found. ':I1hen for the final lap through severa l towns to the sanitarium and then the gradual climb into the city. It was reached about 3 :30. Showers, rest, and rubdowns in order followed h.v a big dinner. Then all went to the Emboyd After the show the facultv drove the boys home tired out from a full day. Fr. J ·ennings acted as pacesetter with Lt. Thomson, Mr. Kelley and Mr. Bouton as as8istants. The squad was composed of He ll er, Reisig, Peterson, vVeis berg, :B"'erris, Kennedy, Rose, Rhine, Rupprecht, Southworth, rrreesh, W oeman, \Vhite sidc, Zerilli, Pan, Clemett, Zoll, Ca l beck, Sanders and :B1 erguson.

One of the greatest shocks of the year was the death of Lt. Jack Kinsey, an old Lower boy, who was killed in Panama. He gave his life for his country and carried on the fighting traditions of Lower tearus. Williams and Snyder are also in the service .

One of the finest days of the year was enjoyed at Cedar Lake. It was the annual Lower School picnic . There were the usual races, ball games, plenty of good eats, boating, swimming and the featured fire works display. Many guests were present.

The All-Point cup leaders were Weeman, Rose, Klock, Jones and Bouton. It was a close battle for honors all the way. During the year there were several gifts from patrons including money for books, repair and reconditioning of the billiard tables and letters for the football team. Health has been splendid this year ,-in fact, one of the best years the Lower has had.

And so end the activities of a busy, happy year climaxed by the events of Commencement with prizes won for work well done.

THE BAND

The band, under the able dir ec tion of Captain Ling, continued to uphold its tradition of being one of the finest or ganiza tion s on the ca mpus. This year, as in years past, the band was not only active in music, but also in military drill and command. During the winter months the members practised hard on mass command and set an exce llent exa mple for the companies in precision.

On March 1 the band played its annual concert. In spite of th e handicap of having this event moved up a month, the ca dets played superbly.

Although some of the m emb ers will be graduating this year, there will still remain a strong trumpet section and all the others should be as good, if not better, next year.

GRIDIRON SPARKS OF 1940

season opened with the annual football camp which included seven of last year's lettermen. Coach East put the squad through its paces and developed a creditable team, although lighter and not as experienced as the previous team.

The 'Cats playec their first game at Buchanan, Michigan, under the lights. The play was of high caliber for the first game and although they went down in defeat, 8-6, the team showed possibilities.

The following week was different and the 'Vildcats snatched their first and last victory of the season against Auburn, also a night contest . Xanders went over from the two yard stripe for the first score early in the third peTiod and Da utel went sixty yards for the second later in the same period.

From the Auburn game on the team seemed to lose its early season go and was defeated in the next six ball games. Central Catholic of Fort Wayne walked over Howe 18-0 and Park School took a tough one, :20-6. Even though the score was against them the Wildcats played a good hard game against Park and set a passing record of 28 good ones out of 35 heaves. A scrappy team from Bluffton found the way to the goal after Howe had held the lead and scored a 19-6 victoTy over the

'rhis year the Wildcats had another of their successful seasons on the hardwood. They marched out on the floor seventeen times under tho banner of Howe and in twelve of these contests they came out bearing the spoils of tbe battle. The team dropped two out of tbe first five games, but came back strong and rang the bell nine times as against three 'thuds. '

The 'Cats met all the big· teams they have in the past and downed all but Culver and Park School. The defeat at Culver came at the end of a fine hall game and one which brought two competent teams together. It is true that Howe's three year string against Culver is broken, but it was no one's fault-just a tough one to lose. Park showed the way very early in the game at Indianapolis, in fact they made the first eleven shots, and went on to chalk up one against Howe.

The quintet rolled over the rivals from Detroit, Cranbrook, to the tune of 55-22, and kept right on going against Onarga, Concordia, Morgan PaTk, Lake :B1 orest and the tough team from Bryan, Ohio. This Bryan game was a thriller and one of the hardest the team was in all year. They finally beat Bryan, 47-43, in the last few seconds. Bryan went on to the state tourney as one of the sixteen best teams in the state of Ohio.

DIAMOND DUST OF 1941

This y·ear the Howe nine is developing into an aggressive and winning ball club under the coaching of Lt. Perrott who replaced Captain Ling. The team was lucky to have seven of its old members back for another year, and with the new men, the team has taken up where it left off last year.

When the call for try-outs was sounded, upwards of thirty players reported, of whom nineteen are now on the squad . The team is, therefore, two deep in every position with one extra player . Using this sy stem, Lt. Perrott has been able to have extended practice in batting and fielding .

Among the old men who reported for duty were pitchers Burnett and Kotas, who carried the pitching staff to great heights last year; catcher Knowlson, transferring from the outfield; first baseman Wuerth, returning after a year's absence; second baseman John Wright, who, incidentally, plays left-handed and does a fine job; third baseman Whiteley, the plug in a big gap at third; and Captain Dautel in center field. These men are all playing their positions at the present and the vacant spots have been filled by Churchill or Thomas at shortstop, Reese in left field, and Clancy in right field. The utility players on the squad are Marlatt, a center fielder; Cochrane, an infielder; Bray,

a third baseman; Gr eenwood, a left fielder; and Xanders, a right fielder. has been catching in practice and McVey has been on fin:1t to round out a s<1uacl of capable and willing ball players.

Iu the four o·ames to date, the team has won two and lm;t the sam number. In the opening game, on April 19th, the 'Cafa; defeated a combination team from Stmgis, and after dropping one to !, Decatlll', they came hack and heat Bremen. Then came the all important game with Culver, at CulYer. The game was fast and clo.-e but CulYer was able to push oYer four runs and win the game, only after Ed Kotas had pitched a beautiful game of ball. With four or five games remaining on the schedul , we may well expect that the niue will come through with more than their share of victories to 1mt beside their la t } ear's record.

The fact that most of this year' team will graduate this June has already been anticipated and the installation of the Junior Varsity will bring up a lot of younger players who could not be kept on the squad this year.

FOOTBALL

This year the two company teams had the advantage of being able to practice with the VaTSity two days out of the week, thereby gaining experience and adequate scrimmage The series was heated all the way through and close games provided a hot race for the title. Tlie first game resulted in a 0 to 0 tie. This made it evident that the winner must show something extra, so "B" went into the bag and came up with a win in the second contest, 13-0. Company "B" took the next two in a row with scores of 7 to 0, and 18 to O to capture the seTies. '' \..'' ral1ied in the next game and held '' B '' to a 6-6 tie. In the final game ''A'' Company broke through and got a littl e Tevenge fo1· l ast defeats by winning, 13-0.

The play this year was of a more organized type and many of the boys will be able to moYe up to the Varsity next fall to fill vacancies there. Coaches Downs and Neff drilled theiT teams with all the tricks they knew and did excellent job s .

Winning the title this year gave "B" Company a record of two championship teams which might be on the way to equalling the streak set by ''A'' some years back.

With the installation of the company barracks came greater interest in the company series, hence the hotly contested games. '' B '' Company chalked up its third straight championship by winning ten games and losing only one. The "B" quintet presented a wellbalanced attack that repeatedly ran up high scores. The big gun in this offense was "Milt" Henderson, who dumped in 230 points to place first in scoring . John Wright teamed with Henderson at guard, while Duffy and Grove held down the forward positions. Kaiser and Clancy alternated at the center spot. Others who contributed to the champions hip team's success were: Jenkinson, a forward; Hugh Miller, a forward; Pearcy and Bailey at guards and Sam Green together with Pence filling in at center. After losing early in the season, ''Doc'' Hewitt's warriors never faltered therafter.

''A'' Company, although playing a losing battle, showed signs of tipping the champions at several stages . The mainstays of the team consis ted of Schmidt, Vickers, Wells, Palmerlee, Bray, Brussell and Thomas. They played reputable ball all through the series, but "A" was slightly handicapped due to the loss of its coach, Mr. Neff, in mid-season.

During the season the Varsity Reserves played twelve games against the two company

made a record of eight wins and four losses. The Reserves, coached by Mr. Morgan, gave the companies a real battle in all games. However, they were bested by "B" Company in a five game series, three to two.
