Ten years ago the first member of our class entered Howe. It wa 8 none other than Sam Elkin. The first couple of years Sam wasn't ye n · popular, for he lmd a mean way of playing a violin. Mayhe so meone should have told him not to use the hairs out of a horse's tail for Yiolin strings. Anyway, because of the great strain on other ca det's ears, Sam gave up the old violin, and took on a saber. Now he carries it as captain of Company "A".
rrhree 3rears passed before another member of our class entered Howe. Then, no one had the slightest idea that he would become pr t>s iclent of the Senior class, for he weighed only ninety pounds, and -.;tood four feet, eight inches. It was none other than ''Killer'' Kopscb, the m1rntache kid. As the years passed he fina11y began to gro-w up, throwing away his diapers and becoming a man.
"Masher" McLeskey pulled up in his super-charged model "T" in ':-3G. Ile left the group in 'i39, but finally returned, because he decided that IT owe was essential to his life. Upon his return he became the journalistic sou of the campus .
Sam, "Killer", and "Masher" sat around two more years before another member of the class arrived at Howe. And in those two years the? used to watch Captain Preston slam his large teacher's desk against the small school room desk, and yell, ''I know I'm hard to look at, but you ·will have to sit and bear it".
Anticipating the future in 1H38, "Hied Ryder" Coder rode up on his hoTSe, for he knew that there was to be gas rationing in 19-±3. "Reel" has laid down a Tecord of achievement that is envied by all hi · classmates, for he has been captain of two major sports and has participated with great diligence in all other sports.
In 1939 when the hunting season was open, who walked into Ho·we but "Bird-dog" White. White has made great achievements in academic and military fields of study for he has always been one of the top three in his class and received the office of cadet major his Renior year.
Also in September, 1939, who ro lled up to the Administration Building in a tank, but our boy "Jackson"Hunt. He has become one of the best liked boys of the class because he has shown grnat achievement and initiative in eveTything he has undertaken. I am sure he will not be forgotten by his classmates in the passing of time.
The same year, "Charlie" Dibble entered Howe with his great line "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People". "Charlie" is another one who is liked by his fellow class members, and I am sure be will not be forgotten
rPliat the fellows were getting SOl't of peeved about the wa:-» their shirts were being done up at the l aundry, but, by a stroke of l1wk, '· Lanudry" Lathrop emolled. After he demonstrated hi. ' technique in laundrying, the 110ys wern satisfied . "Laundry" has had bis np and downs at Howe, hut he came out on top . In his Senior year he lic<•ame eaptain adjutant.
Of cour ·ewe bad to have a playboy that year, so ''Yo-Yo'' Grissom regi;.;tcred aH a cadet. "Yo-Yo" ha: become the joker of tbe c]as,·, for he haH kept hiH sense of humor and taken the rough spots as well as the i:nnooth oneR.
we can't forget rr. 8) ·ler. EYen though "Tiny" is a litt l e plnrnp, lw has participated in all sports in addition to achieving a high c.H'cHlern ie rating .
..U·;o in ':39, Ilugh Mi ll er, alias the "Horror", enrolled at the .Adminishation Building, embalmed in a can of Dole Pineapple Juice. During his years at Howe he has been a rabid woman hater, hut, accor ling to receut report., be is now a love-lost soul. He has heen in all ntrsity sportR, and ha. shown grnat achieYement in his undertakings.
J-3:\Toll Miller alias U1 "Waye", found him elf toting a rifle in ':-m, but he left at the end of tho year. I gue s his arm got sore In '-±1, .ho wev r, he returned to continue where he had left off two years before. He has heen of great value to the band as well as in his other undertakings.
Donald Ro. enfeld, better known as the "Face", arrived in '±0 to show tho boys what a narcotic· fiend looks like after spending a mo11tl1 in South Bend. Don has hown the boys how to . hoot, earnino· leadership of the rifle team in his Senior year.
_,,_\ Iso in '±0, ''Litt l e Cae:ar" Studebaker rolled into Howe to pnt his two cents worth in the S nior class. He has proven himself iH a l l of the phy. ·ical fitness programs, and has become well-liked 11)· fe ll ow Seniors.
Trnc> · \ ran Bnn:m, th la -1 from Sturgis, arriYed in this same year, he 'an. e 11 1 was jealous of t h e uniforn.ls and w l mt it did to the Sturgi. · girls. '\Yi th his talent for draw i ng, ho ha.· proY n himself quite an artist, hecoming incle pensihl to the 8enior cl ass .
Iu 19-l:O 'urh Hamtramack Kid", set his foot on the w 1 ome mat of Howe. Of course ''Maty:' was ·oTt of timid his ouple of clay at Dowe, which is only natural, but as t h e rear progr ssed be grew to know the place like a Ycteran. Since then ]1 has become an outstanding cadet at Howe.
Ange l o Pou los, alias "Greasy", enrolled at Howe that same .'·ear. He hi d to clef.\· th law of gravity his first year by jumping out of a two stor)' ·window. However, after that, he conc l uded that Gal ilio was right.
In 1941, "Stan" Batson s ign ed the register, and since then has fas cinated the campus with his tall stories and wisdom about the opposite sex. rrhe fellows have taken his advice concerning· female.·. Whether it has done any good or not remains to be seen.
Frank Beyer blew in that same year, twisting his key chain around his finger. Of course he disco11tinued this practice after Lord Jim jumped down his throat a couple of times.
Conine Bonin , the originator of the Conine theory, gaYe the boys a treat by letting them hear his hypothesis on electro-magnetic attraction to cigarettes. onine has tried hard to enter West Point. Whether he makes it OT not, still hangs in the balance.
Jack Butterfield dawned on the horizon in '.U to take up hi s berth in Company "A". Since then he has become a true son of Howe, carrying his burden of troubles and Jack has participated in all the intramural sports, and ha. heen a credit to his team.
Marty Cole, often referred to as "Eyes", stro ll ed into the smoking room, wearing a pair of binocular · for g las ses . He ran into th e door when he tried to enter, but as the years progressed h e formed a habit of finding the door by trial and error. Since his first day, though, h ha· gained the admiration and friendship of his class members and those of the school.
As I stood lookinO' oYer ·the railing one day, whom did I see with ix ca1rns of Lifebuoy under his arms 0? None other than "B.0." Gay. "B.0." has become quite a character in his class, l redicting the weather and beautifying himself with toilet water .
The cTOwd stood around in a circle while ''Tarzan'' Huggett showed off the hair on bis chest . It took him a year and half to transplant it from bi head to hi chest . "Tarzan" is another one who i.· w 11-liked by the cla. s, because of hi good humor and dilige11ce i11 getting things done.
''Norm'' Kemp came in this year of progressiveness, and witl1 hi" aeronautical mind he has taught th boys how to fly a kite without holding the string. · r es, he is some boy.
One day wh n I wa lk ed in the washroom, who was in front of the mirror admiring hims lf but Tony Touy is p lannin g on marrying into ome mon y, and openino· another Greasy Spoon Restaurant in Hamtrama k. I guess be came to Rowe to take l essons from Mrs. Byron on how to cook hamhurgeTS.
There was a t nific noise on the second floor, so I decided to investigate the matter . rrhere I found Dave Kroeh1e trying to knock him ·elf out with a tennis racket. Dave js one of the best tenni player Howe has had in r c nt years and we wish him continued succes in the game and other undertakings.
Manoelwcring a steamroller all over the parade field was "Buck" X anlrre, the po:-;tnre kid, in his size fourteen shoes. "Buck'' has heeome Yery bandy in his Senior year, for he is the one who is going to rewrite this article after I get through with it.
As hunting season was open, I took my moose call out in the woods with me to see what I could find. \\Then I got out in No Man's Land, I put the old call to work. I waited for a while, and then I heard and saw a queer looking mammal spouting about parliamentan· proeedure. Immediately I knew it was "Moose" Parke, the P-cube kid. ''Moose'' has achieved more, both academically and spiritually, than an.\' other hoy of the s hool, and (I am sure) the members of his clasR look. up to him for it.
A shy little boy entered II owe in '41, with rosy cheeks and blonde hair. Y cs, it was Jay . Schoch, but I'm afraid he isn't shy any more, for I understand that he is giving a gir 1 a break by permitting her to walk down the street with him. All the football team remembers Schoch, for he is one hoy that doesn't let fear enter his heart.
With that fla Redford smile and his dollar personality, "Slick" Siarto arrived on his magic carpet, which he purchased at Sam's Cut Rate Implement Rtore. "Slick" has been a rea l "A" Company man. Doe. n 't he look it? Anyway we are glad to have him in our class.
''Jitters'' Springer moved in on us that same yeaT and with his high cla s vocabulary and his dull hut humorous wit, he has brought life and spirit into the class. Clark left us last May for college, and I'm sure that the 8enior class wishes him the best of possible luck in hi · undertakings. ·
We had to have a red head in our class and I sent my promotion man out to find one. He turned up with Bill Stewart. Bill is the progre. ' siYe type. Where theTe is trouble, there is Bill. Even though he is out-numbered, he looks up at hi, opponent and says, "You can't hit me because I got ofa, ses on", and then disappears.
"Bubbles" Turk, alia8 "Raby Chicken';, is a great heart breaker. II e always comes back to tell us how many girls he has fluffed off; some day he is going to find the right girl, and spend the rest of his life in misery.
With the noise of gun fire, Ed -way shot his way into Howe and with a hang became first sergeant of Company "B " . Ed has done a invell job and no one can deny that if it wasn't for Ed's initiative we wouldn't have a steam heating p l ant in harracks.
Closing the entries of '41 was Horatio Richstone, the practical joker of the class, with his broad sense of humor-and I do mean broad. He has done everything from buying Porfone 1vfagazine to giving helpful hint , if you know what I mean. But I can truthfully say that he is one of the best-lil\1ed fellows in his class.
Opening the '42 season of entries, ''Tunnel Digger'' Bohner strolled in with his philosophy of how to dig a tunnel under your opponent when playing football. The only trouble is the school authoTities blame it on the gophers . Besides digging holes, ''Digger'' has played his heart out for Dear 0 ld Hm:ve .
There was a loud laugh and tlrnn a screech. Of course I recog·nized the laugh. It was that of Bill Brown. But what was he laughing at and why the sudden Well, I found out Jater that he was stuck in the fuse socket, and had gotten a big kick out of it.
''Dead Beat'' Ferguson blew in about this time, slinging a crutch, and he is still slinging it. His frequent trips to South Bend for his knee became quite a joke, but, really, his cheerful attitude has been a great asset to the Senior class.
"Fearless" Feuer came this year, also, and by his constant picture snapping has been a great boom to the class In future years the hoys will look back on some of the photographs, and remember him.
:F'inley, the muscle expert, entered Howe to give the boys a little Charles Atlas training. He has helped the Physical Education Program extensively by his coaching of tumbling and gymnastics.
Hogarth, no relation to the t ]ephone exchange, enrolled in Howe with a physic, book in one hand and a trig book in the other. He has shown extraordinary knowledge of his suhjects and will I robably be a physicist .
Tom Huston craw l ed in on a11 fours, after meditating whether to become a colonel or private. However, he settled for a corporal, and a,· he leaves Howe he caTries with him the admiration and respect of the Senior class.
Lerner, the one woman man, came to Howe this year with an armful of pictures and a far away look in his eye. Throughout the he has been suffering from heart aches; neverth le s, he has done a fine job.
Lucas flipped his way into Howe with a two headed nickel, and a "how about a little game boys 1" on his lips. After breaking the bank of Howe, he lea-ves with a fine record for intramural athletics.
Ben Morrison buzzed in in his Model ''A'' Ford with the cry on his lips, ''Show me the guard detail, and give me a table and chair to :-)it in the hall with" . He is indeed one of the finest non-commissioned officers that we ha-ve eyer had.
In all seriou ness, however, we have enjoyed our brief stay at Howe, and in future years, the memory of our friends, of the smoking room and of all the good times we enjoyed, will always bring back many fond recollections. During our stay, we saw class barracks changed into company barracks and Howe given an Honor School rating. In conclu ·ion, Howe has come a long way s in ce we first stepped in, and our fond hopes will always be \vith our Alma Mater.
'rlie S chool mourns the loss of
Member of the Class of 1904 and for thirty-seven years QuartermasteT of Howe Military School
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is "Bubbles" Turk, your local radio announcer, bringing you a blow by blow descTiption of the decennial reunion of the Howe class of '43. We are broadcasting tonight from the beautiful Crystal Room of the Kingsbury House in Howe, Indiana.
-
One of the first to arrive at the banquet is our puh1ic hero, Lt. General "Killer" Kopsch, who was cited for gallantry in the Battle of Rnmboog i e Range for leading his troops ar.ross Still Lake and defeating the Zoot-Suit Division.
"'With him is Corporal Claude McLeskey, who won the Order of the Golden Kite for conspicuous bravery in the typing class at Fort Benning. Now that the waT is over, Mac tells us he intends to go into business as a private detective.
Over in the corner, instructing waiters in the proper method of dropping trays, we find Clifford Parke, Jr., who went into politics and attained the high office of Page Boy in the U. S. Senate. Cliff attributes his success to the revived use of" Teddy" Roosevelt's "BullMoose'' Campaign .
Covering the celebration for the Daily Blab Syndicate is Marty Cole, the "Eyes and Ears of the World". Marty, now happily married, lives with his wife and kiddies, and mule "Bessie", in his little old shack on Pike's Peak.
The music tonight will be provided by Sam Elkin and his "Fiddlin' .B-,our'' through the courtesy of Lemuel's Liquid Leg Lotion. Sam ju st finished a successful engagement at President Roosevelt's 21st Presidential Ball.
The dinner th1s evening is being catered by our ''Greasy Spoon'' Cbef, Angelo Poulos. He owns a catering concern in the large metropolif:; of Howe, and in his spare time cooks at Krum 's Delicatessen.
Here comes ome more of tonight's guests, ladies and gentlemen. There' s Jack ButteTfield, president of the Bummer's Club, which, by the way, is the onl y men's club in existence that has only one qualification for membership. Any person who desires to join must have hummed cigarettes for at l east three successive years Jack was elected president for having the lon gest lmmmer 's record known.
On my left I see Ed \Vay, the "Klang King". Ed invented a twenty-four hour alarm clock which has a built-in radio and fire detection system. His motto is: "Where there's a '\Vay there's a Klang''.
Next we lia ve ],rank Beyer, the Postmaster General. He got his training at Howe and attained his high office through a of a starnp with a ch rry flayored glue. li,rank says his new stamp not only promotes the u se of the mails hut facilitates the fastening of the stamp to the eiwelope.
Because of the shortage of food, we have two doctors on hand tonight, the famous veterinarian, Bob Gay, and that eminent diagnosti cian, Clark Manion Springer. Having studied at Meatball Tech, Boh hegan th e pra ct ic e of swa bbing horses for measles. I'm sure you all rC'member his great case when he lanced the ears of those two famou s raee-horses, "Backward Bess" and "Riderless Ronnie". Manion graduated from Plainfield U . Il e gained recognition for his first case, Lady Godiva. many months of difficult research, Manion so l ved the ca. e-she had a head cold.
Vl e have just received a telegram from Bill Brown who regrets to inform us that he will be unable to come . Bill runs the Quartermaster Corp · of the ],rench Foreign Legion, and is now busy unpacking a new of shoe laces.
The doorman just announced that four other members of the cla ss have arriYed, Studebaker, Keros, Huston and Finley . "Stude" and "Tony-", who went into tbe shoe business, are now manufacturing Cuban heels, on a mass production ba sis, at their larg e modern plant in Goshen. The two "Toms" combined their capital and now run the largest brewery in the Southwest. These boys are responsible for the present day popularity of the all-day bottle.
The entertainment tonight will be provided by Bill Finley, th e prominent tumbler and impressario of the Indian clubs. Bill has his l)Wll gym now, and can be found at the corner of Hill A venue and Liberty DriYe in Wheaton .
.1\fter dinner, the class will adjourn to Merrill Lucas' "Den", which is right arnund the corner . Here the boys will proceed to lose their pants, as thi s is one of the large st gambling joints in Indiana. The ''Den'' is known for it s numerous games, all of which are crooked. Out in the kitchen, I heaT a loud crash, and as I peer through the ke,\T-hole I can see Jim and Jay trying to get in the back door. Bonine and Schoch h ave been touring the world via tramp steamer and freight car. and seem to have forgotten their evening clothes The boys tell me that they intend to publish a geograp h y based on their int ens iv e of terra-firma.
While we were out in the kit ch en talking, two more members an'i"rnd, Bill Stewart and Harry Lerner. These two boys have progressed rapidly since they left Howe, and now have a partnership in an animal ho spita l. It is the only hospital in the world that caters to squirrels exclusively. Squinels-nuts !
I can see some more of the class coming in. There is "Lucky" Lathrop, President of Laundries, Inc. "Lucky'' made a name for himself by the creation of a portable Chinese Laundry, one of which he canies with him at all times. "Lucky" says that it saves him the tronhle of carrying an extra pair of socks.
Here comes a coat so loud-checked that it must be on ''Flash'' Van Buren. Trace, a commercial artist now, has his own large studio in Sturgis. He is known as one of the biggest-hearted businessmen in town, for when things get bad and the Utility Company turns off the gas and electricity, do you think he lets all his help No, sir! He wouldn't think of parting with those heautiful models They 're alwars around.
What have we A A No, it's bird-dog! Dickie just arrived from his kennels in his custom built dog drawn rickshaw. [hear that Dick is going to enter one of his super-bred bird-dogs in the Dog Show this year. Good luck, Dick.
We spot "Horatio" Richstone entering the door. He's wearing a yellow coat with a pool-table green vest and, a l so, a pink-choco lat e pair of pants . Undoubtedly you have all heard that Don runs Practical .Toke,, Inc. He handles the most amazing jokes imaginable. vVe all remember him for his daring exploits in peddling Fortune 1Jfogazi11e on Alumni Drive. He was the sole originator of the SipeRtein Theory, and has ju s t lately converted it into 1>ractical use.
Jim Syler just blew in wearing a brand new pair of blue jeans. He brought some home grown eel-squashes for the banquet tonight. Just in case you haven't heard, eel-squashes are Jim's own little invention. He grafted celery and squash and got-eel-squash!
A clatter of hoofs and a jangle of spurs heralds our next arriva l , ''Red Ryder'' Russ Coder. Russ just couldn't tear himself away from his boots and sadd le; so he joined the Canadian Mounted Police after the war, and is now hot on the trail of that notorious perpetrator of o·hastly crimes, Bob Blythe. Personally, I don't think he could track an elephant in three feet of snow.
Deacon Siarto just entered; because of the war, Andy never got bis Bible at Commencement. While looking for one he decided to enter the ministry. Andy was commissioned as Deacon, Fir t Class and has hi s own little group of parishioners in Dog Patch, Kentucky.
Out in the kitchen, testing the food for any over abundance of vitamins is Don Rosenfeld, the wandering playboy . Having cleaned up on the horses, ''Face'' settled down at his hundred acre mansion on the outskirts of South Bend.
I have a treat for all you boxing fans this evenin°'. "Deadly Dave'' Kroehle has just come in and I '11 try to get him to say a few words. I'm sorry fo l ks but Dave is being mobbed by autograph hounds who
are all elamoring for the signature of the world's champion. Dave got his boxing career off to a , well start polishing off "Moles", and since has risen to gTeat heights.
\Ve are now waiting for the arrival of "Goose" Grissom "\vho is on his way from California. As most of you know, Chuck is the one who i11Yented the musical yo-yo with the built in record changer .
....\ rriYing with him hould be ''Rudolph" Dibble, the matinee idol. 1'1 rank is keeping all the cats contented with that outstanding trumpet mun her "'Nell I Guess So". He has also become famous for his personality waxe ,y}1ich rea11y mows 'em down .
..:\not her celebrity has just come in, "Buck" Navarre. "Buck" owes all hiH success to his over-sized feet which have really taken him up the road of fame. "Buck" now plays for the Detroit Maroon Wings, and has become the only goalie in the history of hockey who doesn't need a stick-his feet serve the purpose.
Plea ' e excuse me a minute, folks. I'm being paged to the phone -a certain Thaddaus Matyjasik wants to speak to me . If you 're real quiet I'll let you listen in on our conversation
Yes, this is "Bubbles" Turk-what's that you say? Your wife won't let you out tonight because you 'Ye got to mind the twins. Well, have her mind the kids. Oh! She's going to play Bingo. All right, I '11 say hello to all the fellows for you. Good-bye''. Matty now owns a rhain of hamburger houses, ha. married a big fat mamma, and still liveH in Hamtramack.
"While I was on the phone,· three more members of the class of '±3 were admitted to the Crystal Room,-Bill Batson, Alvin Feuer and Byr011 Miller.
I can , ee "Hitler" Feuer over there at his table reading Hdler's Children . Tbis noted traveler has just returned from Germany where he interviewed" Adolf" himself at his Berchesgarten Palace . He says there bas heen quite a clrnnge. Hitler is now living in a pup-tent, and l1is 11alace has given way to a sheep ranch .
In the opposite corner of the room ·its Billy Batson reading up on his fay·orite character . I-I e's working for the large book company which publi. bes Captain MarYel Comic Magazines . Billy has really gone p l aces since he'. learned how to pronounce Captain Marvel 's famous word, ''Shazam''.
Next to him is Byron Mil l er . His ambition when he left Howe in '-1-:3 was to become an aviator in the U. S. \.rmy Air Corps . But now he is flying one of those stationar3r airplanes at a Hi-Speed Gas Station in Cl a1·kston. Ile is having a lot of trouble keeping that wave out of his face.
It seems that the "Tr ipl e -"-\.llian c " is ba ck in power, folks. Bohner, Hogarth and Morr ison, our thr e terrihle industrialist f-i, hav e disc·overed a new ch em i ca l process and now lia ve the market cornere d . Bohner pickles cucumb ers and sells the pi ck l e juice to IIo 0 ·arth, who 11rocesses the jui ce and mak es root beet. rrhe foam from the ·1·oot h oe 1· goes to Morrison who manufactures havi ng cream and then nds any wa. te products back to Bohner. These boys are all g lad that they took Nip stry while at IIowe.
The la .· t four who enter ed, arriv d from distant .'hores. Huggett tlie II rm.it ··walked in with Cad t Y emp. Ralph bought hims tf a sma11 is land in th e South Pacific, and has h en there ever since graduation. Tl e had a little trouble getting rid of some "tailess" monk )7 S at first, hut Heerns to hav e liv e d a peac eful life since then. Mr. Kemp i s in the Nava ] Air orps no , and expects to get his wings any day. Norm ha s had a lot of tough breaks due to his mi ·guided knowledge of aeronautic.' but intends to graduate in tb n ar future.
The la st two membeTs of th cla ·s have finally arriv cl. Tliey are ''Jac k so n" .Hunt and "I orrible Hugh" Miller. "Jackson" and Hug·h dTov e up from Florida in a tank and bad a little motor trouble on the way. When ''Ja ck. on'' got out to fix the motor, his hair got in tl te ay and tbe y finall y bad to call a garage. Bob made his fortune by R" llin g seco nd-hand half-track· to the natives of Buna and Gona after tho war. He then moved to Florida for female reasons and is now bus)r inhaling un shino.
Hugh lost his te th in an airplane crash and had to resort to hi. own ingenuity in order to keep on playing the licorice stick. He devised a method of fastening a bottle of compressed air to the clarinet to r eplac e hi s blowing. Billed a. ''The Toothless Blunder'' be has played all the hig theater . I haYen 't had the opportunity to hear Hugh play ye t but he mu t be good because he received the "CharlieIIor sc'' award for being the outstandin°· musician of the year .
Now that every one is hern we can settle down to the important bu siness of eating and of talking things over.

Last Septemher, to begin one of the most impressive, yet the ln·jcfest, seasons in the history of Howe, found forty candidates answeri11g the Varsity football call. ''J1he Wildcats looked foTward to a schedule of eight games, lmt hecam;e of transportation difficulties, Coach liJast could play hut thrne. ':Che returning lettermen were: Birch, Bonine, Bylenga, Coder, llunt, Kistner, Kopsch, Matyjasik, Reisig, and vVhitjng. At the end of the first week of practice, the squad was cut to twenty-nine men. All of them played last year except one new boy, Utley.
On October 3, the Cadets met Cranbrook School from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, on Williams It was the first contest of the season for both teams. Cranbrook expected to repeat their victory of last year, and Ho-vve was out to stop them. Although the result showed a scoreless tie, the outcome was a moral victory for the Cadets. rriie following Saturday, October 10, the Cadets traveled to Indianapoljs to play Park School. Even though the ·wildcats put up a great game, they lost to a powerful Park eleven, 21-0.
After tliis conteRt, Howe had three weeks in which to prepare for tbeir final game.
N ovemher G, the team memhen.; once more squeezed into tho fom automobiles and set off for Onarga Militar.v 8chool, Onarga, llliOn th e following afternoon, against the Onarga Yarsit,\·, the,\· pla,\·e<1 one of tb e be. t games tbat an.\.,. Howe team evcT played. rriw ·wildeats threatened to score manr times. Severa] times, when the.'· w<>rc in S('oring l)OSition, a careless furnhle cost them the hall. The l1iµ;hlight of the Howe offense was a forty-five yard frorn Cole to Impe,\·, \d11ch almost ga':e them the game. Impe.\.,. was downed on tlie four yaTd lin e . The 11ext play

that they threatened again, hut could not seem to push
ball acrnss those Jast few yards. Tl10 fiw:l.l score was: Ilowe 0 0narga 0.
This year's basketball team, by the end of the season developed into a fairly good ball club. Both of the coaches, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Wilson, did a fine job, but the change in style threw the boys off their stride.
The season, so far as the record goes, was not impressive; however the cadets played many a fine game of basketball that they lost in the last few minutes of play. In the season opener with Orland, the Wildcats stayed neck-and-neck with their opponents all through the contest until the last few minutes, when a few hastily-made baskets put the cadets behind at the finish by three points. The Lima game was a repetition of the same type of ball. When the final gun went off the two contestants were still in a deadlock. In the overtime, Howe dropped behind and lost by two points.
One of the few thorough drubbings the cadets received during the whole season was from LaGrange. After the first quarter, the boys didn't keep pace with the dead-eye, long-shot artists of the opposition. The return match was just about as bad. However the cadets showed,
toward the end of the game, more power against LaGrange than they had in game.
\Vhcn Centerville came down to visit, the Wildcats met them and aefcated them. They had another one of those nip-and-tuck battles, but this time the cadets would not bow down, and they went on to win }>y a score of 33-31. The Rome City game was the same kind. A luck Y . . basket with 13 seconds to go, spe lled defeat for Howe. In the Teturn game with Lima, the last game the team played under Mr. Morgan, the cadets dealt them a thorough defeat. They were once 1wli1nd, and had contro l of the situation an the way.
·when Mr. Wilson took over, the first contes tant on the ljst was Rtnrgis, a very tough customer. The Howemen played creditable ball, hut the opponents were a little too strong . Brighton also handed th e cadets a defeat . Finally, a return game with Centerville found the Wildcats strictly "on the ball", and all Centerville got out of it was the short end of a 53-34 rout.
The cadets then entered the Indiana High School basketball tourney sectionals in Kendallville. They were unluck y enough to drn w Wolcottville, a possible title threat, as their opponent in the first tussle. The Howemen went on the floor with a lot of fight, but W olcottville was just as tough as it was cracked up to be, and the cadets were def eat ed.
Despite their seeming unsuccessful · season, the boys should be credited with making the best of a team that had very little experience. The men who received Varsity Letters were: Alan Zimmer, Tony Keros, Bill Peterson, Lex Mayers, Bill Uhitil, Byron Miller, Ole Peterson, Evere tt Calbeck, and Jack Cupples.
The Howe "Netters" had only played one match before the Tatler went to pr . , and consequent ly did not have much of an opportunit;T to s how the cadets what they cou ld do.
After a week of practice, they met li..Jlkhart on Apri l 19. The results of the match were in favor of the opponents, 6-0.
Da , .e Kreohle was the only r turning letter man this spring, and Coach "Wilson has hi g h hopes of building a fine team around him.

This year, unlike former years, there were four intramural teams in the series. The traditional Company teams were done away with in order to provide an opportunity for each of the many boys wbo was jnterested in playing. teams, namely, the Grays, Blakes, Dwights, and McKenzies, were revived after man)' dormant years. Their coaches were Mr. l\forga n, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Tucker and Mr. Haley rcspectivel);.
r:rhe Grays seemed to have an edge on the other teams throughout tl1e season. Much of their success can be attributed to their fullback, Byron Miller. With his help they took the winning six straight games. The other teams were pretty evenly matched, and put on some rcall)· hard fought battles .

lot of fiue competition was enjoyed, due largely to the fact that many of the team members were ineligible Varsity material.
Blakes held top honors throughout the season . Although came out on top, they could not be called the best team on the floor. rehe Grays, after many coachless weeks, finally showed what kind of hall tbcy could pla,y when they "cleaned house" on the Blakes in t1w final game, under Mr. Kelly. Their bid for the tournament championship was cut short, however, when they dropped a very close contest to the Dwights, 33-28.

The T atler takes this opportunity to thank all those who have, by their advertising, made this record of the school year 1942--43 at Howe Military School possible.
We wish all of you the best of luck as you go from final review into the service. There we'll be backing you with more than good wishes, for since long before Pearl Harbor we've been turning out quantities of equipment for the Army, Navy, Air Corps, and Merchant Marine. Our service, supplementing your greater service, is gladly given, because we know that the future for you and millions of others will be even more happy than your years at Howe.

HERE'S potent news for Howe patriots - The U. S. Army required a new type command boat for its amphibian command. U. S. Army engineers working against time (and around the clock) dispatched complete plans and specifications to Chris-Craft with orders to RUSH! In one-tenth of thetime
that it previously took us to build a pleasure boat of the same length, the new command boat was built, tested and delivered
Another example of Chris- Craft's ability and willingness to co-operate with the United States Armed Forces ... Another real reason why the United States will win this war I
