THE CLASS HISTORY

BY JORN s. CUPPLES

It wa. in 1936 that Howe was blessed with its' first member of the Class of 1944. This morsel of humanity was "Bud" Behn. "Bangoff" made all the preparations for the coming of the rest of this mighty dass. He bad plenty of time as the next member was Bruce Bylenga who arrived in 1938. At this time he was in high spirits and in no time at all, he became an outstanding athlete.

"Smitty" Smith was next to put his "John Henry" on the dotted line. He became interested in the Church and is now the head server and president of the Vires Society.

The same year ''Jake'' Jenson entered the institution. He started as a quiet, model young lad. But time changes everything; ''Jake'' is now ''one of the boys. ' '

Howe got its biggest break when '' 0. C. S. '' Whiting decided that Howe would be a good place to honor with his presence. "R. B." runs the works now and is doing a swell job.

Along with the "Dog·" came Ole Peterson, Howe's contribution to the "Lady Killers Association of America." In his stay at Howe, Pete gave many a girl a not-so-slight case of heart flutter.

''One-Eye'' Chin, originator of chop suey with garlic, arrived at Howe in 1939. "Charles" had a hard time breaking himself of the habit of swearing at the teachers in Chinese, but he was gradually brought up to be a model cadet . The climax of his Howe career was his short and sweet partnership with Capt. "Mac".

Next to join the hands of the Class of '44 was "Jake" Cupples After rather an exciting first three years, "Jake" finally settled down to become the chief "Puppy" in the battalion "Litter" of the class of '44. He also became the editor of the publication which you now have the questionable honor of reading.

Along with ''Jake'' came '' Grooper'' Greenwood, the pride of Medina, Ohio. The origin of his nickname will not be mentioned here, but take it from me, it "suited" him.

In January of 1941, a nose floated in and a minute later ''Big John" Ellison followed it. He started at once to build his "empire", but didn't get control until 1944. (Kind of a poor man's Adolph ·Hitler.)

"Happy" Millar was admitted in January of '41 also. "Happy" worked hard during his stay and worked up to be a Lieutenant. Twice, in fact, he earned buttons.

following year a few memhers were added to the roster or our <·lasR. '[1hp,· irn·ludPrl ,J olmnY Ho He, Bill Peterson, "Lex" Mavers Diek .J a<'k:-;on. ,·, BuhhlPH" Glen, "B.,leming, "Chew-it-up" Zi1;m1e1'. and" .. \ir Corps" these hoys made their various contributions to the pffort ·with great enthuHia, m and they all added to tht· gT<n,·ing- su1wriority of our <'lass. Zimmer especially was helpful af; lie "prirnteH rPpresu1tative" at 11 important conferences.

PPterson bt•t·anw famous for his beautiful renditions of the popular of' the da». l\fayerR, known to his intimate friends aH "<)ya l ", lw<·n11w a Rtar athlete, and one of the schools b'iggest leaders.

rl'lw <·I mis got m10t her rnoh iu 1n4:2 including the modest .Jack Htraug-P, (fostincd to hel'onw one of the most admired Seniors of the <·la.'s. '' .J akr'' took his time getting into the limelight. Now he's in it all over the place. ''Ht ff'' was captain of the Howe baskcthall tPnm this year also.

I11 ra nk Hhea another one to give Howe the onceornr in Ile has sprnt a good portion of hi, two years winning hC'h; from the military tlepartment, on "what the hook says."

''Baby'' Bal lard walked 011 the campus with the Scott cheerlNlder iu one hand and a two-headed coin in the other. "Baby" became rnlunhle on rnanucvcffR heeanse of his deftness at making a night l'Cl'011 na lHRanee.

Pete Kan<liH also earn in 1-Dveryone always looked forward 1o pmades when ''Pete" played in the band, because they all knew lie 'cl sneak in a couple of rim shots here and there.

Reuhen \clams and his super-brain aiTiveci and the Howe course of stud>' proved to he no match for the thinking powers of Reuben. Reuben also led the hand around at parades.

'' ·wheel home" Snrdcr, author of 'arhe :B1 actory Man", proudly am1omwed his presence in th same year. Snyder got his chance under ''Capt. Mac's'' regime and he proved to be a good man.

'' Pinoch'' Corley put hi nose into everyone's business as soon as he hit the campus, but no one minded it and Bruce got to be pretty popular. He spent his last half-year slaving under the "Dog", but he smvived th ordeal and graduated one of the choice few of the January s ction of the cla .· of 1944.

I

'' Sleepr'' R ed wa · awakened long enough to enroll in school, but he immediately went back into his coma for the remainder of his two years. "Sleepy" was one of the boys to take a crack at the Air Corps after his graduation.

Lee Utley came in time to hecome a football star in 1942, and wn:-. here long enough to receive a special citation for his fine work. Lee went into the Navy Air Corps following his January graduation.

Jack Hubbard started to get entang l ed vv-ith Sturgis as soon as he got se ttled at Howe. He also found time to do a good job for the but his main objective was not Sturgis.

Bruce Coleman was another one who started his Howe career a perfect cadet. However the influence of the Staff broug·ht him nround to his right state and he is now going crazy with the best of us.

Rarick M. came in this year and he made a fine record during his He was active on the rifle team and he was one of the few cadets in his year of military to receive a commission.

Tony Bostock, fresh from good old Britain, registered at Howe the sa me year. Tony estab li shed the ''.A'' Company Bugl and was a r tiv e in many sc hool functions. ·

Norman "I'll agree about anything" Boosey was another of the hoy to cross the threshold in '4:2. He was one of ''Mac's'' staff and he {lidn 't suffer anything by it.

"Bashful Bob" Co lv er came to Howe to learn the technique of getting women. He succeeded in getting the one h e wanted so now Bob i s really g lad that he came .

"Freddy" Manhartsburger, the Costa Rican man-mountain, was among the new class and considering the time he has spent in the eountry he has done a swell job and really de erYes a lot of credit .

''Ole'' Kroneman, or ''Harry James, sixty years from now'', came as a musician. We can forgive him for soni e notes in the "Two-'0Clock" .

Dick Reinacker, alia s ''The Weasel'' came at the semester of that 5·ear. He immediately became the cla ss clown and ha . r emained so r''er , rnce.

This ye ar's crop brought hut three additions, Jim Wooley, Jim Naylor and Al Worth.

\f\TOoley was one of the sax players in the swing band and was outstanding in the academic department. Naylor and W oTth were 0. K. cadets in the first year military, both rating the stripes of sergeant .

So ends our look at the members of th e class of 1944. They hope that their record will be good enough to make a l asting impr ession with their Alma Mater.

THE CLASS PROPHECY

BY ROBERT SHERREL WHITING

Boys, a great catastrophe has come about, but purely coincidental. Ten years have passed since the Class of '44 graduated, of which a great percentage either enlisted or were drafted into the armed forces. During the month of August, 1954, eight months following the Armistice, I was attending an American Legion Convention at Si-Head Center. As I strolled into the convention hall, a loud, deep voice bellowed out "Friends !" By George! It was none other than "Ole." Ycs, Olaf Kroneman, National Chairman of the American Legion.

As I gazed around the room, I saw someone who looked familiar. Wait, now-yes, it is! "Glamour" Glen wearing a white apron, bringing in the water for the speaker .

It looked as though I had arrived a little late as the convention was about to adjourn. As I strolled out into the street, waiting to see if there was anybody else around that I might know, a truck drove up. And-no, no, it couldn't be-But it was! It was Chin in his flying suit. As the truck pulled up to the curb, a gang of soldiers and sailors piled out of the back end . And believe it or not, it was the rest of the Class of '44. You all remember that Charlie was pretty good at keeping track of our class. Charlie received his commission through Circus, Inc., and now he operates a "Loopo-plane" at Gabonia Park. He flew around and picked up the whole class and decided to drop around.

The reason they were late is because Charlie used ''Bang-Off'' as his navigator and" Tuffy" Evans as his radioman. Oh! They forgot someo ne out of the park at Sliding Center. They forgot "Sleepy" Reed in the lower gun turret, who, as usual, was sound asleep.

\Vell, after we all got thrnugh shaking hands, and blocking traffic, we filed into the hotel for dinner, after which we heard from our old school mates.

We were letting "Jake" Cupples speak first because his wife wanted him home at a respectable hour. "Jake" is pounding the kins at the Gem and is active as "Ramona's" right hand man.

Along the same line we heard from another ''Jake'' ,-Jackson B. Strange reported that he had completed his V-12 program, had returned to Logansport and is a manufacturer of radio controlled basketballs.

We regret that Hap Millar could not be with us, but it was reported that he was acting as a secret service man in the G-2 division of the undergrnund in France.

HPuhen ,.\dams has lmnwd ont a dozen sun lamps trying to <leYPlop hiH 1iifrhing arm to join up with .Joe Louis' "Brown Bomhers."

•'()le'' Petf'rson was stationed in Siheria and married one of the ]oc·al thPre. "Peh.i ", waiter that he was, was sorry that lie <·ould11 't <·ome dowu from tSiheria for the reunion, but he lo t his birth <'t•rtifi<·ate and eouldu 't g(lt a passport. He :aid, "I couldn't make them helip\·e that I was horn."

Nt.ixt \Ye hPanl from Coleman. "\Vell, I'm tough see 0? I'm attPmli11g M usc•les College i11 Ripling County. I'm taking up the arts of wrPstling nnd am playing around with law as a sideline . I'm planniug011 heing tough Pnough so that when I hecome a lawyer I can run tlw show, s11e ''

"Pete" vV. reported that he joined the navy only to marry a WAC. Cau 't yon imagine "Pete" walking down the street whistling "A wolf in 'ships' <'lothing'' Traitor!

ended up hy being a conscientious objector . He reported that he waH trying to pull strings so that he cou l d become President of the Detroit .Alumni \ssociation.

Bruce Bylenga went to Hanard and graduated . He returned to I lowe and re-volutionized the gnglish Department . His p l an of ''the lesH a ('adet does, the higher his grade'' was put into effect . Bruce was voted most popular master last week.

Dave F1 leming reported that he had received his commission in the Merchant Marine, only to he put in command of a leaky rowboat on the Pigeon rnver. Dave expects a new command soon.

''Mildew'' Ballard reported that he was drafted, and one day he pieked up a WAC and he ended up marrying her. You all know that "hahy" was fond of "pick-ups" anyway .

<'Banana Nose'' Mayers reported that he is the chief bar tender at the "run-ov-er bar". Lex received his handle when he got in an argument with one of his cuHtomers and got his mug right back in his face.

''Smitty'' reported that he l eft Howe and attended a school for missionaries On becoming 18 years of age, he registered as a conscientious objector . During the war, he served as a morale builder to the South Hricans. .He got along fine as he was a l ways active in race riots in Detroit.

"Grooper" left Howe with the .January class and was drafted shortly afterwards. Six months after the D .O.W . he returned to his little village square and settled down on a sma11 farm. Fred couldn't

hr. preHent as his wife has taken away his privileges until his chores haYe been completed.

"Luchiff" stated that he had been spending his time trying to deYelop a "Luchiff-stein theory" which he could dedicate to the school. Good Luck Luchiff ! We will probably be hearing from you in another ten years .

Colver joined up with the paratroopers and found his jumps enjoyable . He said that they were wrong at school when they said that one had to work his way up the ladder.

Hubbard received his degree in medicine and reported tl1at in his practice at "Sliding Center", the death rate has decreased. Only Hix people died of'' small pox.'' The other five weren't even bothered.

"Big Al" Zimmer took the first train back to Cleveland after the war. By the way, while in the Army, he from P.F.C. to Second Lieutenant. In the old home town, he started the business of building a collapsible saber to be used by Howe cadets on vacation.

"Wheel-horse" Snyder found his way back to Goshen. He bought an estate outside the metropolis with the money earned by publishing a book entitled "How to Influence a Tactical Officer". He is now working on his greatest effort, ''The Life and Loves of a Howe Cadet.'' He's writing from actual experience.

John Rose said that he was leading the life of a contented married man. Now all John has to do is explain just how a married man can be contented .

''Al'' Worth went through the war as an instructor in the manly art of self-defense . Now Al is in the ring going under the name of "The Flexible No e ." More boxers have been surprised by that flexible nose than the number of stripes Al got his first year at Howe.

''The Weasel'' Reinacker has spent most of his time since graduation trying to find a cure for a new disease called ''Cow Fever.'' He has tried putting her to pasture, but she always returns. Riny just doesn't know how to "Fluff 'Em Off".

"Big J." Ellison confided that he is selling his .nose by the acre to plastic surgeons . The only complaint that John has is that the noise of the Diesels on the hoists keeps him awake at night.

Frances -Shea proved to be an expert in thinking up original ideas to make money. He built up a thriving concern which manufactures chevrons with talon zippers. With each set of chevrons comes a pamphlet on the advantages of a zipper chevron. Of course, Frank was the author of the pamphlet.

I >ic·k .l aeksou, after receiving his discharge from the Army, went home to find a way to work trig on an adding machine. After nearly amputating his arms in his routraption, he gave it up for a bad job mHl honght an answer book. Much simpler that way!

,J al'k ,Jen sou was discharged from the Army after straining his haek hecause of strenuous activities. He returned to Grand Rapid. a:-i a c·ontortioni t in a freak show. Jack gave a demonstration of hi: abilities during the dinner. II ha improved since he was a staff memher at II owe.

'l1o11r Bostock has spent much of his time trying to find some to g<>t his fingcn; into politics so that be might bring some influenf•<• to hear on the lend l asc situation.

}"reddy Manhart. burger went back to Costa Rica after the war nud married the " lligator Pear Queen" of 1952. He reported that he has four hoys.

"Binie" Whiting, the poor man's J:i...,rank Sinatra, is now the inging salesman at Sam's Cut Rate in Detroit.

''Pete" Kandis reported that he has been on the road since he left Howe trying to point out the highlights on that new se l f-served breakfast food. Don't get discouraged, "Pete", as we see your point of Yiew,' but we wonder if you do.

''Doc'' Rarick has become Kendallville 's leading physician . He has just perfected a six months cure for seven year itch . He is now working on a four day tTeatment for the three day measles .

"Uncle Jim" Naylor has the "Fun for Children" show every night over . tation R-U-N-G-E . A lot of the kiddies and a lot of the grown folks enjoy dialing in R-U-N-G-E when "Uncle Jim" is on.

Here cndeth the report on the class of 1944.

SWORD AND SHIELD

THE CHOIR

The choir is one of the oldest organizations on the Campus, and plays a vital part in the chapel services. The soprano section, made up entirely of Lower School cadets, is composed mostly of veterans of last year who were seaso ned to produce a fine, smooth tone, so vital in church music.

The Upper School part of the choir, including the altos, the tenors, and the basses, is, for the most part, new this year. All have done a fine job, however, and their anthems have been enjoyed by the congregation all year.

INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL

Due to wartime restridionR on the use of gasoline, Howe was nuahle to have a Varsity football squad this yeaT. rro take ittS place, an Iutraumral program was set up ·w-hich worked out very sati.sfactorily. Tile eadets from each of the three companies were placed in either thP ''A'' group, the '' B '' gToup or the '' C '' group, according to thefr height and weight and tean1s were formed from each of these groups. rrhe '' C '' teams competed against the Lower School.

On October 2, CompanieR A and B's '' ...A . '' teams met in the first ela:-ih of the year. This was a hard fought game all the way and when the final whistle blew, A Company led 18-13.

On October 9, the '' '' teams of C and B Companies met and fought it out to a finish. It was a thriller all the way and again B ,ompany suffered defeat by a score of 12-6.

On October 13, Company A and Company sent their ''A'' teams to battle. In this gall1:e, ompany A won 19-7.

On October 16, Company A and Company B matched their ''A'' teams for the second time. This game wa one of the best of the en tire season and was bitterly fought all the way through. The end was a deadlock, 6-6.

On October 20, the ''A'' teams of A and B Companies met. This game proved to be an upset for C Company for A made up for its ear lier defeat by winning 19-6.

On October 23, the cadets saw another great tangle on the gridiron when Companies A and C met for the second time. This game was also a thriller that ended in a deadlock, 0-0.

The last game of the season between Companie A and B was p layed October 30. B Company was generally conceded by campus dopsters to be the favorjte . However, the final score saw A Company leading 20-6 .

November 11 brought the sea on to a close with a mighty battle between Companies A and C. A finally overpowered C with a 6-0 score.

VARSITY BASKETBALL

This year's Varsity baskethall team was coached by Mr. Quirk who made a fine record. In the course of the Reason, the team won eight out of 17 games.

\..s most of last year's lettermen graduated, there were on1y three who returned, Mayers, Calbeck and Of these three returnin g letter men, one graduated in .T anuary.

To make up his team Coach Quick drew upon the outstanding intramural players of last year who were ineligible at that time.

On December 1, the VaTSity made its first trip to Brighton to Htart off the Howe season. It was a very good game up to the final horn but the cadets were defeated by a strong Brighton five. The final score was 33-21. The Reserves lost to the score of 22-15.

One week later, on December 8, the cadets took another trip, this time to LaGrange. This game was also a good game but the cadets bowed again. Howe was defeated by a score of 40-30. The Reserves won their first game by a score of 24-19.

For the last game before Christmas Vacation the cadets went to Orland and captured their first victory on December 13. This win

Perhaps you read the story. How one of our submarines recent1y docked on the west coast wilh eight tiny flags painted on her conning tower symbo lic of her prowess ..• and the first thing the crew asked for was ice cream

We have a special interest in submarines for Holly piston pin retaining rings are used in their big diesels. The forming operation is very difficult and exact ing hut we have been told that our rings do an outstanding job in maintaining operating efficiency.

Can we help in your war effort? We'd like to have more boys asking for ice cream. Write, wire or better still ... phone

If any of you cadets are ever over there, drop in on me for a few days and enjoy a traditional spot-of-tea.
