WITH REFERENCE TO THE "BIG BOOK"

June Commenrement of the year 1938 savv the "Big Book" in the Commandant's innocent of the forty pages which would later be added to record the doings of the members of the class of 19+(,.

:\lajor Uerritt's Iuck was not to hold out long however, for that ve r y fall th e first entry was made for one of the boys who is now in the gradua ting class.

Yes, an entry was made, and what an entry it turned out to be! "Long John" Eccles began his cadet ca,·eer as a youth of average height, but after eight years of munching rinnamon toast he grew to be a six foot, five and one-half inch basketball star, taking the position of center on the \Vildcat team of '+5 and '+6. He fought for more than height during his eight years though, for in the Lower he came out with a go ld band on his hat and at the end of hi s Upper School ca r eer John had a nice pile of on his sleeve.

There \Yas more than one member of thi out tandin g class who made an early appearance, for the fall after John pulled in , another y oungst er traded in his rather dull, red, striped tie for one of those eye-catc hin g, black jobbies. "Rocky" Morgan jumped off a banana bo at after rid in g up from Panama with Conchita. Russ must have acquired some running abilit y from the Central American natives, for he broke the tape in many a race to furt h er Howe's glory on the track.

Ju st a h alf a year later, l\1other Goo e laid an egg and out hatched "Chuck" Gros s -com monl y referred to as "Goose". When "G oose" had completed his long journey paddling down Pigeon River and had entered U ncle Jim's office, the first representative of the Automobile City was placed in the " Big Book". Chuck held commissions in both th e Upper and Lower, finally as urning command of "B" Company. Here was another member of the Wildcat ba ske tball team who dropped the ball through the hoop from a point ju st t wo inches belo w that of John Eccles.

\Vhen the difficulties in obtaining a passport were cl e ared up, another member arrived v ia s team er, direct from Hamburg, Germany. " Hans", (but better known as ' 4Woody"), Weinrichter '"'as kidded a lot about the old country when all the time he was from su nn y Indi a na , but h e took it we ll. During his half year in the Lower plus four of hi g h sc hool, "Woody" proved quite capable in a thletics and leadership, leaving Company "A'' holdin g the rank of a Lieutenant and with a V. H. C. swea ter tucked under hi s arm.

The "Big Book" really became a volume of cons iderable size when the fall of '42 rolled around This date brou ght forth a file of nine poorl y drilled recruits to be enrolled.

Headin g the file a nd merely following hi s no se was "Bud" Shilling. Here was fou nd unlimited talent for giv in g the gym a beauty treatment at social gatherings. "Bud" found time between dances to work up a swea t on the tennis courts.

With his so mbrero s hadin g hi s eyes, "Ravo" Ravinet rode his ox-c art in from down Mexico way. Ernie did a fine job all the wa y around during his stay in "B" Company, earning hono r car ds and var ious other awards. With his Spanish accent soon corrected, " Ra vo" made a capable platoon sergeant.

At this point, too, little 41 M ike" came into focus from Grand Rapids. Four years of hard hitting football , and all other athletics made him an outstanding member of the Varsity "H" Club, finally holding the position of president of the organization his Senior year. Excellent leadership abilities were also shown as he held numerous authoritative position along the line and graduated as excutive officer of "A" Compan y

A friendly driver dropped " Joe" Seybert off in front of the administration after he had hitch ed a rid e from Kendallville, just a few miles to the south. For four years

Joe exemplified the finer points of livin g near the school by being fortunate enou gh to be able to go home on days off. Joe dug his cleats in on the line to earn a letter in football and did such good work along the military line th at he was put in charge of "C"

"Slim" Cunningham blew in on hi s saxaphone to fall in file wi th the others. A musically-minded individual was he, and it was thrnugh his efforts that a number of musical organizations on the camp us prospered. "Slim" accelerated his program by attending the summer session of 1943. This enab led him to be one of the two to leave us at the mid-year graduation.

The file suddenly let out w ith a big fifteen for the Wildcats under the direction of cheerleader, Don Campbell. In between athletic periods when he was busily engaged on the sport fields, Don found time to keep a platoon in good shape ·while holding the po. t of platoon sergeant.

Shortly after th e December 7th attack on hi s home island, "Little Horror" Miller strolled in with a grass skirt waving in the breeze. Bob couldn't keep out of anything, even a littl e mischief. He participated in most activities, held a position among the dass officers in every form, st rutted hi s way in front of the band for two years, and wound up wit h buttons on his shoulders in command of a platoon in "B" Company.

A siren in the distance; an ambulance approaching; a screec h or tires ; the door flies open, and out hops the psychoanalyst of the class, "Doc'' Meader, the surgeon with the Toledo Blade in hi s hand. Some of "Doc's" own familiar bugs caught him off guard and put him down for a bit, but he came back swinging and climbed up the ladder of promotio n to the height of Captain Adjutant. President of the Vires Society, Bob knew when to be serious, but \Vas a lot of fun in his time off.

Taking up the fi l e-closers to the rear of the group of nine new corners, "Rick" Stroud came putting in on a tractor from up Mentha way w ith hayseed in hi s hair and a sprig of mint between his lips During his four year sta y on the campus, Rick found his way to the very top to hold the position of Cadet Major. He also found his way into the life of one of the lo cal girls. Almost at any time one was able to hear mellow ( ?) strains of "Janie Dear'' corning by way of voca l cords from th e staff quarters. It was rumored that Rick frequently formed hi s staff for compulsory group s inging; however, this report is not confirmed.

During the sweltering heat of the summe r of '43, a sum mer session was in progress for the benefit of the bo ys w ho wished to finish their high sc hool education before entering the service. It was during this sess ion that two more of "the boys" of the class of '46 were signed away in the "Big Book".

One summer even in g w hen the su n was setting, the bo ys thought they were see ing double when the y saw two red glows on the hori zo n to the west. Soon one was distinguished to be Dean Downer,s flashy head of red hair. Quite a man \Vas "Muscles Dean" for he .wrestled his way through three seasons and came out w ith a place in the state wrestling meet at Purdue. A heft y bo y, too, on the football team, he stopped the none too few off-tackle plays which came over the right side of the line while on Company "A's" champ team of '+5.

With pen in hand and an easel under his arm, a s portin' Clevelander with magnificent artistic ability stopped off long enough to produce many cartoons for the various campus publications in addition to hi s other work in the academic line and with his own Company "C". Who was thi s fugitive from a paint brush factory? It ,:\, as none other than a non-com nam e d "Wally" Jenkins.

The standing record of nine new class of ,46 members joinin' up in one bunch was broken come the fall of 1943. That September there were ten green prospective '46 grads in the quartermaster's tr y in g on new uniforms.

•. rohnny" K.alkanian is the first of the ten boys to be heard from as hi s booming through the academic building. He wa frantically trying to get "E. P." to register him on his .Thedule as "Caldnnia" instead of "Kalkanian, ].". Johnny tarted right off hi s first year totin' the pi gsk in for ''B,, Company, and after three years of Yari<'d athletic._, he as of the club officers in the V. H. C. A person ro11lcl al\\·ays distinguish Zebra John' s g ruff voice commanding, not asking, the boys to fall in at a "If' Company formation.

St. Joe ccrtainlr ga\'e the "A" Company boy a break \Yhen "P-P" Palmer took up a temporar y militar y existe nce as a cadet at Howe. Here wa a somewhat quiet sort of chap who climbed to the rank of Cadet Captain and managed to make the grade into the A lph a Delta Tau Society in just three years time. "P-P" wasn't satisfied with only three years of militar y life though, so he applied and was accepted for V. M. I. for another four years as a cadet.

Kramer's loss was Bergoff's gain as Smitty moved closer to Fort Wayne (Longfellow). "Handsome J. E." had all the girls running after him, but he buckled right ilown and did some fine work in athletics and as an officer of "B" Company, the latter, briefly.

Even though the busines brain, "Freddy" Koehler, was accustomed to hotel hospitality, he didn't find any difficulty in getting into the swing of things In fact, after trudging over the city of even hills in sout hern Ohio, Fred found it \vasn't hard to get over the humps at Howe, finishing up wit h a full-dress sash around his waist and tech- ergeant tripes on his sleeve.

Right behind Freddy was another Ohio boy who was willing and eager to be among the name in the "Big Book". Charle Gene Ros elott was an Ohio boy-and how he was! Every time that sweet word "Ohio" was mentioned, "Chuck" was right there to defend his home s tate against any "f uriners", and to enlarge upon the idea that Ohio State U \Va top when it came to athletic contests with other schools. While dwelling in Gray Hall, Rosie was right in there fighting for "A" Company in all of the intramural sport teams and as a platoon leader on the parade field.

Johnn y was making the noise, but at the other extreme there was a newcomer who made so little fuss that a person wouldn't have thought that there was a cadet in Bill Anderson's uniform as he marched along in ranks if it hadn't been for the fact that he took an active part in company athletics and as a member of some of the campus dubs.

Fresh with e nthu sia sm after ju st finishing reading a biography of Fritz Krysler, Otto Horak stepped up to don his cadet blues with a violin case dangling from his little finger and with a football tucked under the other arm. This presents a problem-· which "F:-itz" did Otto read up on. He had such a squeaking good time in the Chapel orche tra, and suc h a cras hing good time on the football field that it is hard to say

Speaking of problems, the next yo ungster in the bunch really was one. The doorwa ys were only so wide and when "Tex" Thornberry and his broad shoulders tried to pass thrQugh one, of the two had to give and it usually wasn't "Tex". Here was one of tho e "Berry" boys who had a skill for everything. Four Varsity letters in different sport5 and a commission as a lieutenant were just the beginnings of a long list of honors bestowed upon him.

Coming from one of Howe's archrivals in baseball, D. U. S., did not seem to hinder " Dreambo y" Whittaker's s ucce s in making friendships. "Al" fired his way through the center of the range targets to earn an expert rifleman's medal and sank baskets with his intramural company team to take a championship in his graduating year.

The last of the '+6 grad to sign up in his Sophomore year that fall wa, another one of the many who hail from "Riot Town". Wearing s un glasses and hugging a weed in his mitt, Brown, R. G. came a truckin' aero s the parade field with an overnight bag carre d with razor slits. Bob soon got his softball pitching arm in shape and it wa n't long until he was tossing a mean nine inning . He got some corporal stripes at one time, but forgot to sew them on and they fell off.

Soon after the new year ome seven bo ys who were in second year of high sc hool l":tc h checked out a rifle from the armory. It is considerab l y more difficult to begin one's career at Howe by starting at mid-year, but the seve n who entered as members of th Class of '+6 were very fortunate in this sense since they were to fall in ranks with the other ' +6ers, all of whom we re outstanding and talented.

It was a long haul for the blond Scandinavian, "Ken" Ruud, from Oslo to Indiana, but Ken didn't show any signs of b eing tired. He went right over to McKenzie Tavern and ' tarted to display some of his sk ill as a chef. Not only over the oven did he show ab ilit y, for he was accepted as a trumpet tooter in the band and played in it right up to the fin al parade.

There wa n't a vacant spo t in any barracks for the ne xt chap, but they didn't v.rant to disappoint "Missouri" Anderson after hi s long ride to the school on a burro so the officials investigated the matter of finding him a bunk and discovered that Jack could find rest just as well in a hammock suspended between a couple of rifle straps under someone's bed as he could in the bed its elf. No, "Andie" wasn't any ix footer, but the "Missouri Kid" was really okay, did a fine job in "A" Company. He retired from hi . youthful military life with a rocker under a set of three stripes.

To be sure, there were some boys from a locality situated some one hundred fifty miles northea t of Howe in this mid-year group. The first of a string of three lived near one of the mile roads. "Trink" most likely hated to leave his orderly duties in surgery at Mt. Carmel Mercy, but ne ve rtheless Jim Trinkle assumed his new orderly duties at the guard detail desk wit h laudable efficiency and kept up the good work so stea dil y that he was finally entrusted with the job of "Zebra" in "A".

Immediately behind "Trink" was the second of the Detroiters, "Bas ie" Clifford. Bob "joined up" with the busy "B's" whe re "Goose" was to end up holding the au thoritative position. Interested in see ing "B" Company come out on top in every thing, Basie got into all of the company sports and did particularly well at the end of the "B" Company line on the gridiron.

A red and purple polka dot Model-T skidded to a stop on Alumni Drive just as the new bo ys vvere receiving some instruction in the manual of arms Behind the w indshield covered w ith Cooley High stickers was what appeared to be one of U nde Sam's sa ilors in a suit of whites and with enough battle ribbons on his chest to represent eve ry bit of act ion since the Battle of Lake Erie. Upon inquiry he was discovered to be a booged-up civilian in his brother's get up The uniform was discovered to be the only superficial thing about "Al" Crumb during his two and one half year stay, though. Al leveled his .22 on the bull of more than one target to capture the title of having the highest individual score in the Hearst Rifle Match, and he made some lightning fast pulls on the "A" Company football team in '45 to make the off-tackle plays a success. Al also mastered the rank of Master Sergeant on the battalion staff.

Slide-rule, seven-place logs, and a cathode ray tube were all a part of the standard equipment of the ne x t candidate to be considered. "Ronnie" Guild guided himself to the schoo l from Wheaton, Illinois, by means of a high-frequency beam of his own invention because train tickets were a bit difficult to purchase at the time of his arrival. Ronnie didn't spend all of his time in the lab, only half of it Sure, science was a great interest to him , but so was his company and the various clubs on the campus of which be was a member. In fact, he had such an interest in his company that by means of a photo-electric relay he tried to develop an apparatus w hi c.h would automatically prohibit the bugler from sounding a call at any attempt to do so.

•

Rrprese11ting South Bend, the last of this particular group came driving his Studie to the school ''"ith a trombone tied to the top of the car and glistening in the sun. The rear of the car wa. noticibly weighted down. It took ten fellows two and a half hour s to unload the back seat of the records or, as "Alex" affectionately called them, "discs". Enthusiastic over anything to do with "hot" or "mellmv" music, George always had a record on hi . vie. He was one of the original "Five Drops of Fat", a five-piece band Bill Cunningham organized in "A" Company. George kept his opinions of music in a Herald {'Qlunm entitled, "The Cat l\leows" even after graduation at mid-year '46 for a short time until Uncle Sam decided to occupy his time.

::\lajor Merritt had just gotten the whole battalion in good shape as far as hair ruts went the June before, when ' Clare" Kavan showed up in September sporting a crew cut looked like the crew had been out of sight of a barber shop for a year or t,,·o. Clare's first visit with Jack sa\v tons of soft, curly blond hair crashing to the floor beneath the chair. A mop of hair was not the only thing he brought to Howe in quant1t1e. His room "\Vas stacked high with drums of all s izes and shapes until he found that he didn't have use for all of them and stored a couple of hundred. He did find use for at least one, however. As drummer in the band h e used a parade model every Sunday and during the week at practice.

"Don'' Green bury hi t the campus chauffeured by five beautiful girls in a flamin g red convert. It seem. that every boy from Cooley is a football player. First it was Al Crumb, now it is another former Cooley student, Greenbury. Don knew how to us e all of his 180 or 90 pounds to good advantage whi le taking the fullback position. He already had ability as a football player when he became a cadet, although not in wre tling. But with a hefty build such a he posse sed, it took only some conditioning and in truction in the finer points to make him a pinner in every sense of the word.

Another one of those boy who all the girls chase is "Paco" Kirkland Frank had a tough time trying to keep from being bothered by the women, and he found that Howe was no refuge even in its de olate location be cause there was still postal service. Every day a tremendous pile of fan mail had to b e hauled into his room. This presented him with a problem of disposal. The Akron bo y gave a change of address to South Africa to he post office, and from there on in he was able to concentrate on the military life of Howe. He did so to the extent of being awarded the Jim Brown Memorial Pennants.

It \Yas but a hop, skip and a bounce from South Bend to Hov, Te for "Flab" Bailin. Sam thought he would loose his technique for pushing a que-stick when he first came, and wa content with just a glimpse of the pool tables which are available for use. He \Vas somewhat hesitant about taking chem his first year but finally decided to do so. He got along so well that he was all for taking physics the next fall.

The mellifulous strains of "Jerusalem the Golden" were f irst heard when Chuck Rock entered the scene. "Softshoe" began looking for the owner of that fine vo ice right away, and soon Chuck had a choir gow n on during Chapel. Once in a ·while the Senior English class was fortunate enough to have Chuck expound one of his hypothetical theories . But Chuck's a good kid and he made a good tech.-sgt. in "C" Company.

From the gigantic manufacturing center of Olmsted Falls came "Looshe" Utley. "Loos he" started r ight off making use of hi s page in Major Merritt's "Big Book" b y filling up the lines with some doosies. "Putting tumblers on ears in mess hall" and "marching in Chapel with rapidity" ·were taken in stride, but the last strav;r was when he received a report for "vocally imitating bugler"· Need more be said here?

Right about this time a PT-2 zoomed overhead and just at the instant when the µlane ·wa over the parade field, a missile dropped from the cockpit. A huge white parachute bello ·wed from a pack. As the object neared the ground, it appeared to be a human and sti ll further classified as a "new boy", Ronnie Baird. "Bunny" was one of the Flying Club's most distinguished members in his days at Howe. He held the

record of taking up a pl ane from the Sturgi airport and returning with the same plane in one piece, nine times in a rO\\' No other flyer can make this statement. Aside from flying Bunny had many other interests. He was a notable athlete, winning letters in football, basketball; and track, and was a seco nd year first- ergeant.

The administration was in chaos, the compa nies were having turmultuous disputes over which would be the luc:ky unit to have such a honorable per on in it s ranks. All was lost until there appeared upon the horizon a white s tallion galloping forth with a bearded gen tl eman riding upon its back. It was at that moment when the spectators saw the silver embossed in his saddle shining in th e afternoon sunshine t hat they knew it was the two-fisted hombre from the dusty west, Carlos "Two-Gun" Spiess who was approaching "Two-Gun" dismounted hi sta llion an d got in the battalion. "It was a long ride," sez Jim, " but I'm glad I jerned up, cuz I n ever saw one of them B. A. R.'s befur and one will come in mighty hand y when I'm a-rustling next summer."

"Two-Gu n 's" entrance in Company "A" \Vas the last of the additions to the list of exactly forty w hi ch had by this time accumu lated. The "Big Book" was not to be opened again for the purpose of adding another page repre se nting a cadet in the class of '46. And so, the school life of these forty boys continued much as illustrated in "The Last Week", until the time came when they would graduate from high school and step out into the busy world.

DEAR SIR

HOWE INDIANA OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT HOWE MILITARY SCHOOL HOWE, INDIANA

Open Letter to the Class of 1946 Wherever you May Be

Dear Alumni:

April 5, 1956

After many long months of patient waiting and prolonged anxiety, we have finally succeeded in procuring the services of Sherwood Kilinski Borevi t ch.

You will recall that we tried time and time again to have Mr. Bore-vitch and his renowned wife, Mozelle, come and lecture when you were a cadet here at HOWE. It is for this reason that we feel it our duty to extend to you, the graduates of the Class of 1946, an invitation to attend this talk. This entertainment will be given Saturday even ing, May the 1st. Mr. Bore-vitch's repertoire will consist of a lengthy oral discussion concerning and entitled, THE PRESENT POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STATUS WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL BOUNDS OF ABYSSYNIA IN RELATION TO THE FOREIGN POLICY CARRIED OUT BY THE AFGHANISTAN GOVERNMENT. It should prove to be a very timely and interesting subject to all.

In closing, I would like to express the faculty's desire to see you here on this occasion. Sincere personal regards to you and yours,

Burrett B. Bouton Colonel, Inf., Inc. N. G., Super intendant

Mentha, Michigan

Dear Sir,

The biannual Mint Growers Association of America convention is to be held in Adrian on Saturday, Ma y the first, the same date as that of Mr. Borev itch's lecture.

Since I have been elected chairman to preside over the convention this year, I will be unable to break my engagement in Adrian and come to Howe.

However, I have to contact Earl Weiss soon to t ry to work out a system which will enable me to ma k e the needed deliveries of my new chewing gum which I now have in production, JANIEMINT. While I a m in Howe negotiating terms with Earl, I will c ertainly make it a point to visit you and your wi fe.

Very sincerely, Rick Stroud

San Taffyetto, Mexico

Dear Sir,

Your letter just arrived this morning, and I thought I had better write immediately, for tomorr o w Ernie Ravinet and I are to start our search which will be conducted in the wilds of this reg ion.

The search is for the purpose of attempting to f ind or to find traces of Mr. Rembold, the f a mous historian who has not been heard of since he went into the jungles here in Mexico while trying t o retrace the path which Mike Verwys and Al Crumb, t wo of his students, took when they made an expedition in the summer of 1945.

It seems difficult to express here my regret f or not being able to attend the lecture to which you have so unselfishly invited me, so I will close without stumbling for words any further.

Searchingly yours, Robert L. Miller, Class of '46

Dear Sir,

Of all the time I have at my disposal it seems a shame that your entertainment is to be held the same day as that of the Spookanook U.-Amoeba Tech. football game. I must cover this momentous occasi on in order to get a full write up for my newspaper.

The game will be played on the rear lawn of the Boone Avenue Devotional Parish. This same church, by the way, marks the completion of Deacon Charles Gross's efforts to establish a house of worship here in Spookanook.

"Boss" who you will recognize as the business brain of the class of 1946, holds the mortgage on the Parish and, incidentally, seven eighths of Spookie. Fred graciously consented to permit the teams to wage their battle on his property, and he will be on hand to present a trophy to the winning team.

The spark of Tech's eleven this season is "Smasher" Greenbury in the full-back position. Don, who made snap-back on the All Elastic for six years straight is a Sophomore at Tech and they will be fortunate enough to have his marked ability prevailing on their campus for nine or ten years to come until the time he is awarded his B.A. degree. Regretful that I won't be able to attend the talk, but I must cover this game if I expect to meet the deadline at the end of the month.

With haste, Managing editor, Charles Rock Spookanoook Plain Dealer

P.S. Would you consider advertising for the School in the Plain Dealer at the special rate of $1.72 per double page spread? I expect the total circulation to hit three hundred forty copies this month. Please contact me if you are interested.

Dear Sir:

In regard to your letter of April 5th; as mucll as I wou ld like to, I find it impossible to come to Mr. Bore-vitch's lecture, but I might say that I think you will find that talk to be of unprecedented educational value. You may have heard of our nation-wide hunt for a young lady to play opposite Kenny Ruud in the forthcoming Morgan Production, "LOVER'S PARADISE". Kenny is now on his way to the South Pacific where the photography is to be done. I have sent Kenny out there even before we have found the girl who will take the role opposite him so they can get a few of the jungle scenes taken. The success of the production depends entirely upon our finding the leading lady within the next month. It is for this reason that I won't be able to come to Howe.

Most sincere regards, Russell Morgan P. S. It may be of interest to you to know that one of your former instructors, Mr. Alfredo Manat, is the head of our interpreting department.

DEAR SIR,

We were very happy to receive your letter of invitation to what we feel will be a very entertaining entertainment, but will have to decline since Saturday nights, as you know, are our big nights.

True, we do have many competent employees, but we do not like to leave the full responsibility of our tremendous system in their hands. How is little Mike doing in the Lower?

Dear Sir,

While sitting here in my study at my summer h ome of Seacliff by the Surf, I feel most unhappy a t the thought of not being able to attend Sherwood's lecture.

Sherwood Bore-vitch and I are the best of friends, having had him up here at the Lake for a week or two last summer. I met him while on a lecture tour in Abyssynia three or nine years ago.

As I have already indicated, I am deeply regretful that I must tell you of an engagement which will hinder me to the extent of non-attendance at your entertainment.

This engagement is an appointment which I made s ome time ago with the Commandant of Cadets at West Point, and fellow classmate, Brig. Gen. Myron Verwys. Myron, who holds that distinguished position at the Academy, is to show me around the campus and present to me some materials pertaining to the history of the School.

With this information in mind, I will proceed to write a history of the institution in an estimated twenty-six volumes. I expect to accomplish this work this summer, if the artist and engraver, Wally Jenkins, who is to illustrate the work, returns from his teaching tour in Europe.

Most sincerely,

Robert G. Brown, esq.

Dear Sir,

Forgive me for failing to correspond, Colonel, but it seems that the last ten years have flown by with out giving me an opportunity to write to my frie nds.

I entered the Navy immediately upon graduation from Howe; passed the V-5 exam and entered that unit, but was relieved from assignment when I was disc overed letting the air out of Adrml. "Fighting Joe " Seybert' s rubber life-raft.

He at once transferred me to the engine room for punishment, but I have worked hard and I now hold the rank of engine-wiper, 12th/C.

Joe still holds a grudge against me and he won't grant me . any liberties for the next twentysev en months. I have no chance of "talking this one off", so I will not be able to attend the lecture of the first of May.

As ever I remain, Ronald Baird, E-W, 12th/C

Dear Sir,

I've been longing to hear Mr. Bore-vitch and his at tractive wife deliver their talk for a number of years, and now, finally, when my wish has almost become a reality, I find that it will be impossible for me to attend.

You see , the date of your inviting entertainment is the same as the date set for Bob Clifford's wedding, and I happen to be Best Man for the occasion. Bob wants to come very badly too, but the arrangements for his wedding cannot be altered at this late date.

As you have no doubt read in the papers, my new warehouse is nearing completion. Work on the struc ture had to be discontinued temporarily this morning however, when the chief engineer, James E. Smith was hit on the head with a case of ·light port.

I know you will be concerned about the matter not only because Jim was a former student at Howe, but because the doctor we summoned from the Social Clinic No. 5, who is working on Smith now, is the famous Dr. Alfred Whittaker, a staunch advocate of socialized medicine in the United States. Dr. Whittaker, you will recall,is a former Howe boy also.

Dear Sir:

As you may have surmised by the letter-head, I have acquired a new broadcasting system here in New Oswald.

The first program which will mark the historical opening of this county-wide radio hook up is to be put on the air the very night Mr. Bore-vitch is to deliver his talk. Needless to say, the opening of this newly acquired system will necessitate my attendance, and consequently, I will not be able to attend the performance in Blake Hall.

Our first program will be sponsored by the manufacturer of that much talked of dog food, Sknarf Tidbits.

Sknarf Inc. is owned by that veterinarian of world fame, Dr. Frank Kirkland, whom you will recognize as an old Howe boy. The new advertising angle Frank has worked out is quite clever: "If your dog is over thirty-five and has lost some of his usual vitality, try Sknarf Tidbits for the Puppies-remember backwards Sknarf spells FRANKS."

For the main body of the program we will be fortunate enough to have Otto Horak and His Europeans on hand to play a number of selections including some pieces he used to play while in the Chapel orchestra at Howe.

Dear Sir :

En te r ta inin g the thought of Mr. Bore-vitch's dis cu s sion is most tempting, but I find myself conf ronted with the following situation:

A fellow graduate, Ronald J. Guild, has become ill with a rare malady, referred to in the scientific and medical world as boogiewoogieitis. Only last Friday Ronald demanded that we get for him a nine keyboard organ so he could at long last master Bumbleboogie.

I immediately called upon Dean Downer, president of P.M.A.A. (Piano Movers Association of America) to do the transporting job up the back stairs. For the first time in his life Dean met his a four and one-half ton, nine keyboard organ. The result wa s a seriously over-strained back.

I am very much afraid that neither of these two, nor myself, being the physician on both cases, will be able to a ttend the lecture.

THE YEAR AT THE LOWER

A fine, happy, and busy year is drn\ving to a close for the Cadets of \Vhite Hall. On opening day, Sept. 6th, forty-six new boys were ·welcomed. The next three days wer e busy ones. Uniforms and other accouterments had to be acquired. Achievement tests were the order of the day in the academic department.

On Sunday, September 9th, the old cadets arrived. The day, a busy one, greeting old friends and making new ones, was soon gone and Monday was here. Classes met for the first time and cadets acquired their text books and were all set for regular classes Tuesday.

MILITARY

The company, with a roster of eighty nine men and four officers, presented a challenge to the officers from the first day in September. That challenge was met by the Company Commander 1st. Lt , Setzer and the three platoon leaders, 2nd. Lt. Templeton, 2nd. Lt. Thornberry, and 2nd. Lt. Smith, Ch. The officers, the noncommissioned officers, and the cadets of "L" Company are to be congratulated upon their fine cooperation with Captain Stuckey.

Lacking only in stature the company always made a fine showing in the parades with the three companies of the R. 0. T. C.

In carrying out the old Lm..ver School tradition of having an exhibition of Silent Order Drill at Commencement time, the three squads that took part in it this year can be proud of their fine shm.•ving.

The company officers and non-commissioned officers were: 1st. Lt. Setzer, 2nd. Lt. Templeton, 2nd. Lt. Thornberry, 2nd. Lt. Smith, Ch., 1st. Sgt. Bouton, N., Staff Sgt. Thatcher, Staff Sgt. Shapley, Staff Sgt. Zitney, Sgt. March, Sgt. Kessler, Sgt. Hunter, Sgt. Volpe, Sgt. Insley, Sgt. Koehler, Sgt. Stouffer, Sgt. Lisle, Sgt. Wilson, Sgt. Obering, Sgt. LeVeque, Sgt. Biggs, Corp. Gibson, Corp. Ober, Corp. Pappas, Corp. Morre, Corp. Dillon, Corp. Richards, Corp. Mallett, and Corp. Cooper.

ACADEMIC

Academically this has been a strong year. There has been keen competition in all grades for top ranking.

In the fifth grade Cadet Courim has been leading with O'Neil ranking second.

In the sixth grade Cadets Barnes, Gillow, and Haynes have been near the top all year.

The seventh grade has had an unusually close race with Cadets McGarvey, Bouton, N ., Gross, Obering, and Underwood, G., maintaining a very high standard.

Cad ets Sambursky, Leason, G., Shapley, Smith, Ch., and Thornberry of the eighth grade all hope to be ranking cadet of the Second Form.

The Second Formers met and conquered the Co-Ops in April much to their own and the teachers' satisfaction . Cadet Le Veque made an exceptionally fine record being in the hundredth percentile in social studies and above the ninety-fifth percentile in all other subjects.

The Lower is now looking forward to the finals, and the Achievement Tests with ronfidence.

More cadets than ever before received "Reward of Merit Cards" for "Excellence in academic subjects."

Football, soccer, and tennis were the fall spor t s. Mr. Fisher coached the Knicks and l\lr. H unge was back at his old stand as White football coach. The club series was verr dose but the Knicks emerged victors four games to one. Phillips, Ford, Rorres, Riddell, Hutchinson, Preussel, Mallett, Partridge, Ohmart, Kishman, and Adam \\·ere the outstanding players for the winners. White, Sullivan, Todd, Courirn, O'Neil, Annos, Rognlie, Haynes, Gibson, Gillow, Esmann, Bucknell, Lisle, ::\Ic \Vethy, Ober, Kelly, Rieth, Stumpf, and Gross performed well for the losers. Mr. Downs gave v;ay to Mr. Rexroad as Varsity football coach this year. The squad was made up of Insley, McGarvey, Setzer, Smith Ch., Zitney, Templeton, Underwood G., Volpe, Thatcher, Foley, Savold i, Pappas, March, Harris, Sambursky, and Richards with Thornberry as manager. A fine squad it vvas, sweeping the Midget series four games to none. Because of inclement weather and the arrival of the basketball season, the traditional Thanksgiving game was not played.

After Christmas basketball was really under way. The Varsity with Mr. Fisher as coach, had another outstanding seaso n, losing only four games while winning seventeen. The team for the second stra ight year won both the Chicago Private Schools Tourney and the LaGrange County Elementary School Tourney. The squad this year was composed mostly of new material with Zitney, Sambursky, Richards, Setzer, Templeton, Townsend, Ford, Insley, Harris, Smith Ch., Thatcher, Bouton N. 1 lVIcGarvey, and Preussel. The dub series was exceptionally close with the Whites winning both the Junior and Senior series. Gillow, Stumpf, Rognlie, Rasada, Sullivan, Courim, O'Neil, Biggs, Gibson, Koehler, Thornberry, Shapley, Ober, and Annas rnmposed the White Junior and Senior squads while Knick squads included Rorre s, Stout, Solomon, Ohmart, Mallett, Nesbitt, Kessler, Pappas, Smith, ]. W., Adam, Riddell, Ritter, Volpe, and Quirk.

During the winter months the activities program was continued as in the past vears Mr. Fisher had calesthenics; Capt. Stuckey, rifling; Mr. Runge, gymnastics; Rexroad, boxing; Mrs. Slater, handcraft; Mrs. Kelly, dramatics; and Mr. Harris, first aid.

Spring vacation is over and spring sports are more in the air than spring but we hrave the outdoors. Each cadet chose a major sport which he attended three days a \Yeek and a minor sport for one day. Mr. Harris developed a fine softball team consisting of Cadets Dillon, Stouffer, Stumpf, Hunter, LaRa, Wilson, Pappas, Virden, Reichelt, Townsend, Ober, Hays, Haynes, Malrnstrom, Rozan and Cooper.

Hardball \Vas inaugurated again at the Lower after a lapse of several years. Mr. Rexroad's Bears really played severa l fine games against the Varsity Freshmen, Sturgis, and Indianapolis. The team consisting of Cadets Setzer, Underwood, G., Zitney, Leason, Peddie, Biggs, Smith, Ch., Templeton, McGarvey, Insley, Bouton, N., Lisle, Ohmart, Hiddell, Mallett, Ritter , and Savoldi is to be congratulated upon its spirit and determination.

Mr. Runge moved the pick of his winter gymnastics group, Cadets Adam, Annos, Courirn, Ford, Morre, Obering, O'Neil, Shapley, Stout, Todd, Rieth, and Volpe, outside and prepared for the exh ibition a t Commencement. The boys really gave a fine shm ving and were received with the usual enthusiasm by the spectators.

Cadets Sambursky, Richards, Rorres, March, Setzer, Esmann, Thatcher, Underwood, ]., Cooper, Denman, Owens, Prible, and Koehler chose track as their spring sport and soon developed into a fine team d efea ting LaGrange and Lima in both dual and tri meets.

The tennis and Golden Gloves tournaments are always looked forward to as exciting events. Needless to say, both lived up to expectations, producing many thrills and exciting moments. The contestants in the Golden Gloves showed the results of

the exce llent coaching of Mr. Rexroad. The cadets who entered the Golden Gloves \Yere : Coffman, Courim, O'Neil, Solomon, Traver, Biggs, Gibson, Gray, Rozan , Wollpert, Ober, Volpe, Rorr es, Savoldi, Stumpf, Bucknell , Peddie , McGarvey, Phillip s, Denma n, Nes bitt, Zitney , Bo_uton, Dillon, Grant, Harri s, Leason, Pappas , Sambursky, Smith, J. W., Templeton, Richards, and Setzer.

M U SIC

The music of the Lower was again under the skillful direction of Mr. ]. Joseph Sc hilling. In addition to the singing each morning at the opening of sc hool the Lower had an outstanding soprano section in the choir. Cadets Clarke, Lisle, Morre , Shapley , Mallett, Heap, Riddell , Quirk, Obering, Wollpert, Harding, Courim, Sullivan , Tagso ld, Stumpf, W., and White were the members of the choir.

On Lower School night during Commencement th e vVhitc Hailers entertained the audi en ce with three beautiful selections.

DRAMATICS

"Dra ma" in the Lower ca ptured th e fancy of the multitude again thi s yea r and it was with difficulty that each participant was chos en fo r the events.

The young fry took the lead in ushering in the season of the jolly man of the red sui t a nd white whiskers and the older boys added a touch of s olemnity to the oldfashioned Christmas of this y ear.

"C hipp er" Stuckey , Biggs, Coffman Gillmv, Ohmart, Courim, Ober, Traver , ;m d Houghtby gave their versions of the feelings of smallboys at Christmas time. Bouton, N. and Esmann reflected the real spirit of the season with their more serious rea dings. Captain Ling and Mr. Schilling provided the music with the following bo ys participating: Lisle, Phillips, Wollpert, Biggs , Mallett, Obering, and White.

With Mrs. Miller, Mr. Downs , and Capt. Stuckey always ready to lend a willing hand, the little man in his red suit arrived at the appointed hour and delighted the hear t s of all with his gifts and jolly manner.

In conjunction with the Upper School a rather unusual Washington's Birthday program was presented at Blake Hall consisting of a radio script presented by Cadets Hunter, Shapley, Mallett, Obering, Heap , LeVeque, and Lisle. Readings were given by Cadets Biggs, Clarke, Esmann, Morre, Bouton, N., Traver, Gillow, and Riddell. Master of ceremonies for the occasion was Kessler, while Koehler ably handled all tasks pertaining to stage management.

Inspired by the possibility of winning one of those coveted medals the following bo ys put forth their best efforts in the spring declamation contest. Cadets Bouton, Esmann, Heap, Insley, Keesler , LeVeque , Obering, Sambursky, Shapley , White, and Wollpert participated in this contest.

SOCIAL

The Lower has had almost a continuous round of social activity. The opening event was the Hallowe'en party and frolic in the living room. The costumes were original and clever. Mr. Runge had done a fine job of creating that eerie atmosphere with his decorations. Cadets LeVeque, Meck, Kessler, Mallett, Courim, and McGarvey won prizes for the outstanding costumes. After games were played and the Old Witch had told of the future, refreshments were served.

On Saturday afternoon of Founders' Day week-end the Cadets of White Hall serve d tea to the parents and friends of the school. Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Downs, Mrs. Stuckey , Mrs. Kelly, and Mrs. Slater poured.

Thanksgiving \\'as the next holiday. As the Lower- :M idget football game had been canc<"lled the cadets vented their fighting spirit upon a delicious turkey dinner at the dining hall. Boy, did they tear into that turkey!

'The holidays were fast approaching and there was a great hustle and bustle to get readv for the Christmas entertainment and party. The program under the direction of :\i:rs. Kelly and Urs. Slater was patterned after the old fashioned Christmas party.

The Cadets of the Lower again furnished most of the personnel for the traditional Boar's Head Procession. The Lower choir sang the Wassail Song. Cadet Hunter was court jester. Cadets Gillow, Solomon, Traver, Stout, Houghtby, and Rasada were attendants of the Kings. Cadets Phillips and Volpe were the Trumpeteers.

The Lower Dance on Saturday eve11ing of Mother's Day week-end is always a {!ala occasion. This year the Honor Society, Lambda Beta Sigma, with their faculty adviser, l\1r. Runge, sponsored the dance. The living room was artistically decorated with flowers with a clever miniature flower garden in front of the fireplace. During intermission special dances were presented by Mrs. Earl's dancing pupils of Sturgis. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served and the evening was brought to a noisy close by the releasing of the balloons upon the dancers belmv.

The Lower School Picnic held at Cedar Lake is the high light of the year. There were the usual games, races, and contest,. The boating and canoeing under the capable supervision of Mr. Runge was enjoyed by the boys. A fine picnic lunch was served by the ladies of the staff, and the boys returned home tired and sunburned but happy.

l\fr Miller's apartment was the sce ne of a la rge number of birthday parties. Cadets Templeton, Kirazian, Hays, C., Stout, Biggs, Obering, Koehler, Grant, Gray, Quirk, Mallett, Bucknell, Preussel, Rasada, Smith, J. W., Kelly, Ohrnart, Rognlie, Stouffer, Barnes, Heap, Savoldi, Todd, Wilson, R., Reichelt, Haynes, Foley, Adam, Gillow, Annos, and Thornberry en tert ained some of their classmates at the Kingsbury Hou se to those famous steak dinners.

LITERARY SOCIETIES

The McKenzie and Todd Literary Societies were particularly active this year. A fine group of officers directed the work of the societies under the supervision of Mrs. Kelly and Mr. Rexroad. Cadet Biggs \Vas the president of the McKenzie Society with Cadet Volpe, vice president; Shapley, secretary ; Insley, C. F., treasurer; Zitney , sergeant at arms; Kessler, program ch airma n; and Bouton, N., Herald reporter.

Cadet Rorres was president of the Todd Society with Cadets Sullivan as vice president; Ohmart, secretary; Gillow, treasurer; Ober, sergeant at arms; and Barnes J., L, Herald reporter.

The year was climaxed with the picnics at North Twin Beach.

HOWE HERALD

The Herald staff of the Lower has been headed this year by Cadet Shapley. His co-worker ha ve included Barnes, ]. L., Bouton, Dillon, Esmann, Insley, Kessler, >Jesbitt, Templeton, Thornberry, and Zitney. At the beginning of the year Mr. Rexroad was the faculty adviser, later Mr. Harris took over this duty.

The staff members worked well at their various tasks and have turned in reports that \Vere interesting and well written. The chief aim was to cover as many activities as possible and to have the cadets do the complete job.

THE CHOIR

The beautiful services in St. James Chapel, for which Howe is noted, are made even more enjoyable through the efforts of the choir.

The music supplied by the choir gains its quality through the union of the soprano voices of the Lower School members with the deeper voices of the older boys. Many of the members continue to sing with the choir from year to year, graduating from one vocal section to another.

A sacred concert was s ung by the choir at the St. Paul Lutheran Church in :'\:Iiddlebury, Indiana, this year.

ALPHA DELTA TAU

This year there were a large number of high school cadets who met the requirements of the Alpha Delta Tau Society and consequently the total membership increased grea tl y.

A high academic standard and good citizenship are specified in the requirements.

The Society puts on several discussion forums for the corps, which con ider national pro blem s These forums inspired many cadets to think along national lines.

In the process of accept in g the ne·vv members, many initiations of both the formal informal t ype \Vere held with feeds afterwards. In May was a large com bination

THE HOWE HERALD

Weekly throughout the year has the School's own newspaper been published, and weekly it has been received by literally hundreds.

The Herald has grown to symbolize the School by telling of the events that take place on the campus. The alumni are kept bound together by the paper which anno unces in address of the members of the past graduating cla ses.

This is all more o r less taken for granted because of the regularity with which the paper is printed. Who does all of the work required to print an issue? Members of the Cadet Corps form a staff which does this work This staff is under the supervision of a faculty member.

This year the Herald writers, under the supervision of Mr. G B. Oppy, who has given a great deal of his time to overseeing the work and helping the boys, have used a rotating staff on which no boy holds any one position for the entire yea r. By employing suc h a system many more boys have been able to receive writing experience, and many more phases of the work are learned by this journalistic group.

Pictured above are a number of cadets who have shown interest in this work and who have held various positions on the staff all or nearly a ll year.

THE OLD GUARD

The Old Guard li ves up to its name by ha v ing as members only those cadets who h ave been at Howe at l east four years. Seniors are accepted for membership after three and one-half years of "service" if they are elec t ed b y a unanimou s vote.

A worth while project was undertaken by the club this year. This project was to gat h er up the numerous pictures of the former gra duating classes and hang them in the Administration Building 'vhere they could be see n b y all.

B y earning money through the club's old stand-b y job of selling flow ers for formal dance , a um h as been accumulating in the treasury w hich will be used to construct a f.:pec ial room in one o f the new buildin gs to b e erected on the campu s . This room will co ntain all of the c l ass pictures w hi ch are now hanging in the Administration Building and will be u ed as a meeting place for Alumni.

THE VARSITY "H" CLUB

With the exception of the Waiters' Union, the Varsity "H" Club is probably the most highly esteeme.d brotherhood on the campus .

Here one find's the Varsity letter winners organized into an association which has as its aim the p:-omotion of good sportsmanship on the campus. All w inners of the "H" are considered for membership, and are accepted on the basis of character.

Being the most widely represented club on the campus, it has always been one of the most active groups, having severa l parties, and other social events in the course of the yea r.

Under the leade rs hip of "Mighty Mike", the V. H. C. purchased an electric basketball scoreboard which was presented to the school at the County Tournament. In order to raise the money needed to make this purchase, the maroon sweater wearers so ld pop, hot-dogs, candy, and popcorn at the tourney.

THE ISOH CLUB

With a unique name derived from the first two letters of the words "Howe" and '' sc ience" , in reverse order , the Science Club is made up of cadets -vvho show an interest m science.

The Club ha s been an active one this past year, holding many meetings at which va riou s topi cs were reported upon and discu ss ed. Although these subjects of discussion varied much at th e different meetings , one s ubject of importance, which was brought up from time to tim e, was the atomic age and how it would influence the future.

One activity of th e club which was a great success this year was the Science Show put on for the entire Corps in Blake Hall on Saturday evening. During the show a number of spectacular things happened including the eruption of a miniature volcano, the spitting of fire from one c adet's mouth, and the discharging of eight inch sparks in a number of ways and the illumination of a three foot, partially evacuated cathode ray tube both of which were done by means of a 160 ,000 volt transformer.

ORCHESTRA

It is in this group that are found some of the real musicians on the campus. \Vith Capt. Ling as its director, the orchestra develops to an even higher level the musical ability of those in it.

The annual Boar's Head Dinner, held just before Christmas vacation, and Commencement, are the two main occasions at which the school o rc hestra supplies the music. And very fine music it was, indeed, on both of these occasions.

THE COMUS CLUB

Originally ca lled "T he Eight Club" when it was first organi ze d b y eight members in 1939, the Comus Clu b, after being in a dormant s tat e since 19+3, has been revived and is taking an active part in the sc hool lif e. The present nam e, by the way, was derived from the name of the god of joy a nd mirth.

\Vith Mr. Tucker again directing the Club, the dramatists of Howe ha ve done some real acting this past year. T h ree one -ac t plays and one three-act super production entitl ed, "The Wolves" were staged in Blake Hall thi s yea r by the club. The three si n g le -act performances were entitled: "Drcs R eh ea r sa l ", "Banquo's Chair", and "Alc hem y".

The acting talent didn't top at putting on three pla ys, howe ver. In addition to the e performances man y declamations \\' ere given by th e bo ys, a few of the members receiving prominent places in the State Speech Contest.

THE HOWE FLYING CADETS CLUB

The campus aviators have formed a club which is the most recently organized of the numerous organizations.

Members all take flying lessons and frequently the group goes to a local hires planes, and gains flying experience by cruising about over the area surrounding Howe.

While not actually m the air, the boys discuss problems of flying and the future flying age.

Even though the club was only recently founded, it has been an active one and sho ws signs of being put on the list of permanent orli/;anizations.

HOWE RADIO CLUB

Starting with little more than a ten thousand ohm resistor and a telephone receiver, the Radio Club is now rivaling WOWO.

At Commencement, 19..J.6 , this dub was not two years of age, but it was an o:-ganization of prominence on the campus.

The boys intere ted in radio organized for the purpose of promoting an interest in amateur radio. The original memb ers didn't let anybody and everybody who. said he knew what a vacuum tube was into their group. Instead, they made a list of requirements which a cadet must fulfill in order to gain membership. These requirements are the maintenance of academic grades of "B" or better in mathematical and scientific , ubjects and passing grade in all other subjects. Conduct grades must be satisfactory in to be considered for entrance into the club. These requirements must be maintained for a period of two months before election to membership.

A sma ll, unused room in the academic building being the Club's first headquarters, different work hops have been se t up at various locations on the campus in an attempt to find a spot suitable for every angle which had to be considered. The organization finally gained access to the former caretaker's building next to Col. Bouton's residence afte:· their long search This building was completely re-painted and re-wired on the interior and sufficient lighting was installed.

RIFLE TEAM

It takes a great amount of skill and calm nerves to align the sights correctly on the tiny bull's eye of a rifle target, but this year the school was very fortunate to have a number of boys who could qualify for this job.

With the P. M. S. & T., Major McAlister, as their instructor, these boys became so exact in their work that when the first five members fired in the annual Hearst Trophy Match, they retired from the range wearing silver medals and carrying a large silver plaque for the school. These prizes indicate that the team won second place in the contest. One of the Howe sharpshooters scored a High Individual score for E sentially Military Schools in the Fifth Service Command in this match.

The entire team fired in the Fifth Service Command Rifle Match, for which they received Varsity awards at Commencement.

VARSITY BASKETBALL

The Howe Wildcats, under the tutelage of Coach Keith Davis, had their most successful season in many a year, emerging as winners in 14 out of 21 contests.

The 'Cats' got off to a flying start by edging a small but experienced Topeka team on November 2-t, by a score of 29-30. They followed with successive victories , over Lima, Scott, and Brighton. The first game lost was to a veteran Shipshewana five, 32-28. This record of four wins and one loss stood when Christmas vacation began.

The Wildcats continued their winning ways by downing a stubborn Scott High School team into su bmission 1 39-18 on January 9th. Three days later, the 1\1aroons, one of the state's powerhouses, journeyed to Howe and were forced to their utmost to defeat a hard-fighting Wildcat team, 45-33.

Next on the agenda was the LaGrange County Tourney held at Howe, when the Wildcats ' blasted a weak Brighton team, 51-28 in their first game. A do-or-die Scott team exerted the Cadets to the limit and only a' spectacular last-second shot won the game for Howe, 37-36. The Wildcats then met the defending champion and favorite, \Volcottville, in the tournament final, losing only after they had missed three consecutive foul shots in the last half-minute, 36-35.

Still feeling the effects of the rigorous schedule of semester exams, the Howe five went down to defeat at the hands of a strong Albion quintet at Albion, 39-27.

Following, came victor ies over Detroit lJ niversity School, 59-20 and LaGrange, .+9-32. Next the Cadets gained a notable +0-37 victory over their arch-rival Cranbrook School of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

The Wildcats gained revenge for the loss to Wolcottville which they had suffered in County Tourney by beating the powerful Bulldog aggregation 29-28 in the most interesting game of the year in the HO\,ve gym on February .+th.

The Cadet stretched their winning streak to five games with a 32-31 triumph over Brighton. The streak finally snapped when an underdog Rome City team turned the tables on the Wildcats and defeated them 33-29.

On the 15th and 16th of February the Howe cagers traveled to Detroit and \' ' ere defeated by a fast-breaking Cranbrook quad, 31-27, but took their fourth consecutive game in two years from D. U. S., +0-14. Then back home again in one of the most closely contested game of the year, the Wildcats bettered Lima 52-+1.

Drawing the powerful Wolcottville team as their opponents in the sectional tournament, the Howe five went down to defeat 42-33 only after playing on even terms throughout most of the game. Thus ended the season against both excellent and ordinary competit ion , with the trend always being toward greater moothness and proficiency.

The following men were awarded varsity letters for their outstanding accomplishments during the season: Baird, Thornberry, Eccles, Hadden, Poljak, Raeburn, Gross, and V eiwys.

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL

The intramural basketball teams were arranged in a new and more effective way this year. In addition to the "A" and "B" leagues there was also a "C" league. The boys were classified these th:·ee groups according to age, height, weight and semester in high school. The league groups were then divided into teams of from six to seven pla ye rs. Competition took place between teams of the different companies in their own league.

The system gave more individuals an opportunity to gain playing experience than has been possible in the past.

Competi tion vvas divided into t\\ o different phases, the season play and the tournament. "C" Company's teams won first place in their respective league for the season play. One of "B" Company's "A" league teams won first place in the tournament play. The other t\\ 'O first place positions were won by "B" and "C" league teams of "C'' Company.

VARSITY TRACK

Starting off one of the most vigorous track easons in years by winning the first meet from Shipshewana 56-35, the Varsity track team has done a winning job all the way around this year. Mr. Davis, Mr. Horton and Mr. Ward worked with the boys, giving them all running experience. From the Varsity on down to the Freshmen, all boys were given ample opportunity to do running against competition.

Again this year, at last, the Wildcat runner captured the county title by a wide margin. Most of the times on the various event which 'vere set last year were broken.

Following the County meet, the 880 (half-mile) relay team (Dickey, Joss, Morgan, Trinkle) went to Goshen to run in the Goshen Relays. And run is ju t what they did; fast enough to gain a third place out of twenty-one competing schools!

The outstanding accomplishment of the eason was the winning of a triangular meet with Albion and Kendallville at Kendallville by the close score of 631/2 to 61 for Kendallville and 57 for Albion. This particular meet was a thriller, the winner not heing determined until the la t relay had been run.

The following men were on the Varsity team: Baird, Carstensen, Dickey, Downer, Finch, Heinrichs, Joss, Lutz, Milholland, Morgan, Poljak, Post, Quandt, Radel, Telisky, Thornberry, Trinkle, Utley and Weinrichter.

VARSITY BASEBALL

Although thus far in the season the baseball team does not appear to be too successfu l when viewing the final scores, the Wildcat sluggers show a great deal of team spirit and determination. When facing much more experienced teams and when the score has not looked at all hopeful, the bo ys kept right on playing their hardest.

Fortunate enough to have five returning letter-men, Verwys, left field; Kalkanian, seco nd base, Stroud, third base, Page, first base , and Fox, pitcher, the team took on a number of reserve men, all of w hom have shown a great deal of improvement.

VARSITY WRESTLING

This winter marked the second anniversary of wrestling as a Varsity sport on the Howe campus. U oder the experienced supervision and leadership of Mr. Stambach, it has grown both in strength and in popularity.

After brushing up on the fine points and the essentials of wrestling, the team held its first scheduled meet of the year with Sturgis High School, and came out on top with a score of 49-10. Having gained more confidence and experience from their victory, the "muscle men" staged two more matches with Sturgis \vhich resu lt ed in two more victories to their credit. ( 33-23 ; 24-12).

Mr . Stambach arranged for two meets to be held with Muncie, Indiana, for the purpose of giving the team tougher competition and the valuable experience to be gained from wrestling a different adversary.

Many of the mat-men made good showings at these meets, but Muncie's team proved its worth by winning both contests.

The big meet of the year was the Indiana State Meet held at Purdue University. Howe came in eighth with a team of only five men (Downer, Geh lert, Ellison, Swisher, and Bass) as compared with the normal eleven or twelve man teams entered by the other schools participating.

This year the following wrestlers received Varsity awards : Downer (Captain) Shook Green bury Gehlert Swisher Joseph

THE LAST WEEK

As ll1urdered By 'Doc' ll1eader and 'Ronnie' Guild

As the last glad strains of Reveille die among the halls of the barracks, our story begins. Awakening, our ears detect the barkin g of a hungry dog, and "Boogie" Alexander beating a tune on the 88. Gradually, the undercla smen depart to make way for the 6 :30 group, more commonly known as the Seniors, who th row a cordon of men around the phone booth as they see "Rick" Stroud approaching. "Rick", in turn, very slyly lifts a bar of soap from Ken Ruud. Bailin is outside this morning deaning the mail cart.

After "Mike" Verwys has watered his tulip bed, and greased the \\rindmill, the battalion marches into First Mess, 190 of them in dress, and "Johnny" Kalkanian wearing sweat socks and loafers. "Tex" Thornberry wakes up in time to to s hi s bathrobe underneath the table before Lord Jim ees him, the noise that arouse him being Jenkins thrnwing his tray after becoming a bit peeved Meanwhile, "Goose" Gross, inspired by the beautiful morning, proceeds to write his first letter of the dav to his girl friend. ·

Everything goes -..vell in Ye Olde Academic Hut until second period when "Clare" Kavan gets into "Ramrods" room, and immediately starts his own personal brand of horseplay. "Al" Whittaker wakes up long enough to orient himself , and to see who was soaked for wisecracking. Changing cla ses, Mr. Oppy's room is found to be the scene of great interest as Trinkle, with the deftness of a surgeon, and Rock as his assista nt , carefully dissect a Readers Dige t and pa tes the article on a piece of cardboard. "Tyrone" again catches "Don" Campbell reading a book in class, who sub equently complains beeaus e Brown, R. G., can do the same thing and get an "A" for the co urse.

Next we come upon the odorous oddities concocted by the fourth period Physics class. "Hans" Weinrichter is found over in the far corner of the room experimenting with an ink to use in writing to Der Fuehrer, and "Ronnie" Guild is tr yi ng to perfect a safe and sane way of blowing up everyone in the school but himself. "Lil' Horror" Miller is off to one side writing to Einstein telling him of his many mistaken ideas and "Otto" Horak has just completed his 253rd setup of the telephone equipment.

The short b reak between school and Second Mess finds "Rasey" Rosselott combing his hair after receiving another letter from Gloria, and "Long John" Eccles is complaining that the only mail he ever gets is room-report slips. Second Mess is eagerly attended by all, with the exception of "Slim'' Cunningham \Vho waits Vince's table.

Mr. Manat's Senior horde that meet sixth period is found to be mostly asleep this day, while we find two discussion groups going on at the same time. "Doc" Meade r and "JT" Anderson probe into the limitless potentialities of socialized medicine, while "Carlos" Spiess and "Al" talk of their adventures around "63rd and Stony". '\Ve take a quirek peek into Mr. Oppy's ro trum to hear a speech by Anderson, W . ]. The rest of the Seniors hit the deck in Horton's room, where they learn a bit about Trig, a bit about Solid Geometry, and a whale of a lot about the Navy. After a long list of sines, cosines, and tangents had been reeled off by "Looshe" Utley, "Jim" Smith wakes up long enough to comment, "Huh?"

Tuesday follows much th e same pattern as Monday, but Wednesday morning the study hall plays ho st to th e contestants in the final exams (''three to one you'll flunk 'em all, Buddy"). "Dean E" Downer and "Joe" Shilling are both rivaling Bing Crosby this fine June morning, Dean because of singing abilities, and "No e" for his long string of ponies. As the Seniors leave the study hall, they are not surpris ed to see "Clare". Kavan and "Ace" Stambach playing jacks, after a strenuou game of hopscotch. After a quick weed, we return to the sweat shop, only to find Morgan hard at work

composing hi memoirs, which is his last step in obtaining his Ph. D. Seybert went home the night before because hi knees were out of joint, his TB was bathin g him, he had suffered a fractured fingernail, and ma inl y because he was tired of it all, for he had spent four full days on campus \vithout a break. The Seniors come to the windo'' ' and wave at "Jack" Anderson and "Ravo" Ravinet as they are wheeled by in baby buggies.

Although it is only Wedne day, as we casua ll y stro ll to the Mess Hall we notice ''Daddy" Baird looking up and down the highway for the car that will bring his :Mother, Father, and JJ!arge. "Looshe" Utley and "F reideye " Koehler wind up their Herald \\' Ork for the year with their last article, to wit, "I'd like to sell a Tatler ad to :an Undeirtaker, but I'm not dying to get in the place." And speaking of salesmen, we notice "P-P" Palmer selling the last bottle of his five gross lot of Razma , ''' hich will entitle him to one free four by five picture of Gene Autry.

Evening finds several strange sights on the campus, not the least of which is that of "Cooley" Greenbury in hi clothes closet accustoming himself to the darkness in preparation for a nocturnal rendezvous. "Basie" Clifford is directly outside of barrack with bear traps, fingerprint powder, magnifying glass, a G-man water pistol, calabash pipe, and a hunter cap looking for the cruel fiend that let the air out of Vince's tires

Two more seemingly endle days of horror pass, exams are all finished, and everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief. Friday night, the entire corps is found in the gymna ium. Muffled sobs are heard from the upper rows, and turning around, we see the Seniors \Veeping hot tears of passion as the ] uniors file down and receive their class rings. After the Lower has finis h ed with their tumbling act, "Al" Crumb and "Clare" Kavan leave the audience and go down and se t up their recru iting desk for the Young Revolutionist of America. Crumb attracts considerable attention by giving the YRA logan, "Roe-hoe, Eatit." "Paco" Kirkland was called away from the doings ea rl y to the bedside of Lucy, the sc hool horse, w ho was in bed with a case of indigestion.

Bright and ea rl y Saturday morning "Long John" Eccles is called from his room by a Texas representative to see if there are any hor ses large enough to keep John' s feet from dragging. "Smokey" Anderson and "Ravo" Ravinet are also wanted b y diaper sa lesmen to see if they will pose for some ads in connection ·with his company's adverti ing. "Chutch" Alexander, through various and su ndr y, shady transactions in vo lvi ng three dozen Sinatra records and ten thousand gallons of Wave Set, has finally amassed enough money to buy a S 1% interest in the Garrick Bar in "Chi" "Dean" Downer has just signed a contract w ith Madison Square Garden to wrestle Charles At las in order to raise funds for the Nigerian relief. Cunningham, who has also made his mark in the world w ill travel to , New York with "Shoulders" to play a concer t a t Carnegie Hall on h is Licorice Stick . "Two Gun" Spiess is in the butt area rolling a cigarette in hi s right h and, and with hi left matching Lieutenant ('Ed') Way shot for shot with the ho rse pitsol that he had carefu ll y raised from a Colt Anderson, W. J., is see n on top of the flagpole crying to the winds, "Oh, th e futility of it all," \vhile "Don" Greenbury lead Pete Bouton over to "A" Barracks to give him a ride on the elevator to the fourth floor.

In the afternoon, we stroll over to Williams Stadium to watch the futile battlings of the Varsity team against the well seasoned players of th e Alumni. Our Handsome Hero, "R ick" Stroud hits a long fly to the pitcher and sta rt s off towards first m ak in g about 90 feet an hour. "Pa ul " Palmer, carrying his framed letter of acceptance to V. 1\1. I , drive hi s Farrnall Tractor over to the west s ide of the field carrying Rosselott' s loudspeaker unit that Rosey is going to use to tell more people about beautiful Ohio. "Woody" Weinrichter approac h es the crowd ca llin g, "Here I come, you lucky girls" "Ken" Ruud, who has so ld him self on the Army as a career, is trying to conscript th e rest of the Senior , who in turn tell him that they have had enough. Horak, ha v in g found a playmate, races the gopher arnund the track and wins b y a good two feet.

Becoming a bit hungr y> we go over to the Canteen ,,·here we find the man with the 5 o'clock s hadO\v, Kalkanian, telling l\tlajor l\Ialmstrom ho\\" much he has enjoyed having him as T. 0. "Horror" l\lliller is at the fountain drinking coke out of a shot g-lass and " ' ashing it down ·with ginger ale from a beer mug, and by th e cries of "I Betcha, I betcha" , we know that "Don" Campbell is in the buttroorn. Kirkland and Tod are playing hou e ·as "Ronnie" Baird run s through the halls shouting, "Seybert has returned." Yes, Joe has decided to graduate with us. "Ronnie" Guild is playin g his own spec ial brand of Boogie. "Al" Whittaker, another wolf in cheap clothing, walks towards the crowd of women on the \vest side of the parade field, but top s when the rest of the company does. At this tense moment, "Nose" Shilling breaks ranks a nd a lso every record for the 100 yard dash as he runs for a bright shiny 19-f.6 penny n ear Stroud.

Time truggle s forward aga in t a strong headwind and we f ind ourselves at the Comme nce ment Ball. In the East Room, "Looshe" Utley is showing colored slides of Olmste d Falls to likely prospect s from Detroit, and "S mitt y" Smith is singing his theme , ong over the loudspeaker system, "It Could Happen To You." Weinrichter, we noti ce, has a worried look on his face and he confide. in us and tells u that he is \Vorried as h e has never ki sse d a gir l before! Suddenl y, a plane lands so uth of the gym, and "Rocky" Morgan and hi s night club tan jump out just in tim e for the Iron G ua rd procession. Driving away from the dance, Clifford tells hi s date that he ha s never kissed a girl befo re .

In s ignificant notes are sou nded b y the bugler, which are re pectfully referred to in th e A;my as Taps > but on this e cntful night they are completely ignored as "Bob" Brown comes in wit h a complete line of Lady Esther co metics on both cheeks.

Time flies, and so does in spect ion , Chapel, and Parade. At Second Mess we find Jen kins throwing glasses at the wall to give him an idea for a su rr ea li st drawing that he is working on , and just before the Commencem ent Exerci es we find Gros and Koehler shaking hands outside the gym . "Goose" smiles and gives Koehler's ring back to him. This spontaneous show of friendship causes "Fredeye" to smi le also, and give Gross his wallet back to him. After two hours of fi ne oratory and medal awarding, we see Stroud leaving the gym l eaning heavily to the left, a "Jim" Trinkle and Rock are outside dueling with their swords to see who \\l ill really marry Jeanne Crain

And now Dear Readers , we approach that time that we have all been waiting for, the final Parade. "Doc" Meader and his girl friend, Gene Tierney, form the lines, w hil e "Two Gun" Spiess, taking this parade more serious l y than the other , is wearing his s hoe s Heinrichs surrept itiou sl y points the cannon towards the Mess Hall and re pl aces the dummy with a live rounrl. For the l a t time, th e Class of ' -J.6 will hear their band sound off, and pass in review but let us never forget our "Last Week."

Here's a smile, if you can use it. Take it. Keep it. Don't refuse it. And when you have used it, then Pass the smile right on again; Someone else may use it too. Smiles, if they've been worn, it's true, Still are just as good as new!

If you've not learned this, you will: If the smile's a hand-me-down, Even second- hand, it's still Better than a brand-new frown!
