FOREWORD

We, the members of the Class of 1948, do leave this record of work, play, and happy memories for our own enjoyment and for the pleasure of those who turn through the pages that lie ahead.

T 0 ONE whose guidance has made our lives full and pleasant; whose sympathetic personal attention has always been available to us in time of need; and whose efforts to be of assistance and to cooperate in our work have proven so helpful, we dedicate this Tatler.

To you, the Reverend Dr. Robert J. Murphy, with deep and undying appreciation, we leave this sincere tribute.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1948

It was in the year 1941 that little Gordon Wiles, dressed in short pants and chewing on an all day sucker, strolled into the Superintendent's office, threw his lollipop into the wastebasket and asked to have his name put on the 1948 list.

It was only because the little fellow cou ldn't speak English that Eggy Yglesias got on the wrong plane from Costa Rica and was a few months late arriving. He first appeared with a coffee pot in one hand, the coffee in the other, and sputtering Spanish through the tamale he had pushed between his teeth. How he did miss his daily siesta.

The nex t year Dick Milholland pulled in with no shoes and proudly announced that he was the original "barefoot boy." Dick went out and gave the track the once over, thought it was nice, and decided to stay and break a few records-barefooted. Swish Swisher pulled in right behind Milholland, had the trucks unload his weight lifting equipment and hurried in to sign up. Before entering the office he gave page 208 in his ju-jit-s u manual a glance, entered, twisted the Colonel's arm, and told him to produce the papers.

The next year five more candidates to "The Fine School For Boys" made their appearance. When Harlan Booher rode all the way from Shelbyville on his horse , we knew that we were getting the kind of men we wanted. He dismounted, drew his guns, walked in the office, and savagely signed "Boo-Boo" on the dotted line.

Dick Finch, who had seen this savage act, was hidden behind a tree to escape stray bullets . After an hour or so had passed, Dick withdrew from his hiding place, rushed into the Administration Building and asked if this was the school where they wore pretty uniforms. He found, to his joy, that it was, so he signed "Dickie Bird", and ran off to be a member of the Royal Society of '48ers.

"Moldy" Habeck drove down from Holland in his Cadillac-it took him twenty minutes. When "Moldy" stepped into the building he widened the doorway and the floors sank slightly. "Moldy's" only concern was the food situation. He found that there was plenty for all of him, so he put his "X" on the list.

Jim Keeney was the first Detroiter to hit the campus in this fine class. We weren't sure he was here at first for he was standing sideways. Jim had a terrible time with his shirts as when he was standing at attention they were always at ease.

Herman Schultz was the next to be admitted. He at once became a waiter and made his living at Howe by selling extra desserts. Herman would have made more money but he wasn't too speedy, and by the time he got the pies out of the kitchen ready to sell, they were a day old.

The year of '44 brought fifteen new members to our doorstep. Ten of these boys were from Detroit and the rest were just from,-for, is there a town other than Detroit?

The first of these lads to spread the ink was none other than Buzz Barlow, who was swinging his key chain and brushing off his peg pants when he first drew attention. He said that he had applied for an application to Vassar but they wouldn't send him information.

Al Bass arrived at the same time. Al became interested in the noble art of wres tling and managed to mangle a few over a period of time. "La Sab" wasn't too fond of spending his Saturday afternoon's scrubbing floors, so, he ma'de a habit of driving into Sturgis on Saturday to attend a movie.

We were all ·astounded on this great day of entry when curly-headed Bob Blanchard trucked in wearing his grey pin-striped suit. Bob was a little discouraged to find that the great institution was not co-ed, but, then, he kept in constant contact with his Detroit companions.

Bill Brill ran all the way from Indianapolis to get his name on the list. When he arrived he couldn't remember just what he came for but he knew that he wanted one of those pretty blue suits with the black tie . Bill had a little trouble with his facings at first, but now he knows that his right is on his left side and his left is on his right side.

Eugene Drafta \Vas ready to sign up unt il he found out th at they didn't serve beer in the canteen. A fe\, of the boys talked "Draftie" into staying but h e wasn't happy until he sent home for hi jacket with "Emil's Bar" written on the ba ck .

Bob Duin came all the way dov.m from Grand Rapids to join our merry group. \Vhen Bob got into his uniform he looked so pretty that ·we decided to el ec t him our Fre, hman president. The guy started selling votes the next year a nd he is st ill president.

Leo Ellison crept in cautiou ly that bright and unny af t ernoo n , h e didn't want to be seen. Seems Leo' brother wa a company commander the year before and Leo wa a little wary of what the boys might think. We saw hi s ' nose before too long and we are still admiring his wonderful tan. Seems Leo has made quite a diamond collection since he fir t shook "hands with the Colonel.

Jerry Fox blew in with this group. Jerry h ad a little trouble s leeping at ni ght hi , first year for he was used to living next to the z oo and without the lions roarin g and the monkeys chattering he developed a bad case of insomnia.

We had a little royalty in our class as Scribner Harlan II joined the thron g Scribe didn't have much to say that fir t year but yo u should he a r th e guy rattle hi s gums now.

It was a unny day w h en Dave Hufnagel paddled hi s raft all the way from Kansa City to join the party. We a ll met Dave on Pidgeon River and he pulled into the harbor (the third tree from the br idge), a little hot under the collar. It seems th e recruit dropped his new typewriter in the stream on the way up. Dave tied "The Queen Mary" to th e tree and h as b ee n wa iting ever since for the da y when he ca n paddle b ack home.

The first time we saw Gordo Insle y he was counting the bricks in "B" Company so that he could check the accuracy of his new slide rule. After detailed calculation with this "s up er" piece of equipment, Gordo proudly announced that he had figured out that he had e le ve n fingers and thirteen toes. Later he reported a mi sc alculation; he reall y has nin e fingers and fifteen toes.

We all enjoyed seeing Bob Paul se n join the mob, but we soon learned to keep our distan ce It seems that th.at pr e tt y blonde hair he was sporting was not really blonde and therefore needed a littl e help. He kept us all broke buying him peroxide while he s pent hi s mone y se nding "nicies" to all of the cuties back home. Bob became an actor shortl y after arrival and obtained all of the "Tyrone" Paulsen parts in the play.

It took u s a little time to become acquainted with "Hank" Schoenwandt because we didn 't kno w w hethe r th e last name w as an animal or a disease. Hank made himself known to u s very soon and none of us caught anything, so we all became his pals. He was the only re c ruit w ho knocked the foam off of his root beer before drinking.

The ne x t knock on the s uperintendent's door came from a little fat boy from Detroit. Yes, Nick Smith greeted us with a smile and a shake of his little fat belly. Nick (The Greek), got s limmer as the years progressed. He attributed it to the fact that he was becoming a big boy , but we all knew it was tho s e rough wee k-ends at home.

Our last entry in '44 was Ken Carse. Up until this time Ken had been making his living by wearing dark glasses, renting a tin cup, and playing his accordion in downtown Detroit. He would gladly play his "squeeze bo x" for us , (either one of the two pieces he knew) , if we would only be so kind as to pitch pennies to him .

The next year, early in September, Steve Bennett reported to the Superintendent with his mop, pail and bo x of Duz. There was a slight mi x -up as "Big Steve" was given the job of head janitor in the gym. We got him in the Corps about two weeks later but in doing so we about broke Claude's heart. He and Steve had become quite a ttached to one another ove r their dirty mops.

In his ov eralls, straw hat , and with a piece of s tra w between his teeth, Jack Carter came to us fresh from the farm ] ack's biggest blunder was when h e sa t down in

Colone l Bouton's chair and broke that fresh egg he had in his back pocket. His overalls soiled, he was forced to don a uniform. Jack ne ve r became accustomed to the commands "forward march" and "halt " He always said "giddy-up" and "whoa."

O ur ne x t addition was a great diplomat George (Ah! Comrade) Chase. We soon found out that George had his own type of government which is 1 % Fascism, Commu nistic, Democratic , Monarch y and Imperialistic. The remaining 99% is purely Chase. We were all sure that George wore "red" underwear but then they may have just been pink.

On this same sign-up day a big car drove up and out stepped little Doug Korneffel. Doug drew a rifle, thre w it on his shoulder, and started his life as a raw recruit. That monstro us cannon towered over little Doug and for the first two years the rifle did the manuel of Doug, but at long last, Doug does the manual of the rifle and challenges any M I to a duel of cream puffs at three paces.

Exc hanging his weights for a rifle, George Shook joined the ranks of recruits. George (Yah, my name's Shook) became interested in the game of foo .tball, and grew very much attached to his football uniform. George was the only member of our clan who wore cleated shoes and shoulder pads to all formal dances

In 1946 "At" Atwater rambled down from Dearborn to become a member of the rapidly growing party. "At" became a very loyal member of the "cause", and his eve r smiling "kisser" became a familiar sight on the campus.

David Bratton arrived on the campus, still a civilian, with his ever-loving Gloria wra pped around his neck. Dave was sorely disappointed when he found out that he could not have his "lamby pie" around without a chaperon, so he sent her home, bought sta mp s with his spending money, and wrote her hourly.

Jim Campbell, (the Alhoa Kid) blew in on a direct current from the South Pacific. Jim became friendly with a local belle, and when she did not have him occupied, he managed to do a little" war chanting" on the side.

Don Collins (The Cheek) drifted in from Cleveland, and landed right in the middle of the "B" Company butt room. Don spent a great deal of his time right where h e landed, absorbing the old "nic" and making friends with everyone.

The nex t boy to enter was ever so thankful that Habeck had been there before him to open the way. "The Pig" Emch was no dainty package toting a total of 220 pounds of flab. This big bundle of joy spent a great deal of his time cracking jokes in the so-called "smoking room".

Straight from the "Fatherland" came Albert Fleckenstein. Fleck was quite a drum fiend and can be pictured with a Chesterfield in one hand and a drum stisk in the other.

Two feet, extra large, and two arms, extra long, were next seen approaching the cam pus. This was the physical disability o.f "Einstein" Frederick, whose mind was a mass of mixed formulas. He spent most of his time in the physics lab exploring the defects of the Atomic Bomb.

It se emed as though the boy from the "Windy City" just liked to roam. "Noj" Fu lton couldn't make up his mind as to which was the most attractive, Howe or Sturgis, so he spent a great deal of time in both places.

The ne x t addition to our group was a little boy, Dick Hile. He became attached to the East Campus Clan and spent his joyful two years raising all types of general di sorde r. Dick was truly a friend of everyone.

A big blow and we have Ray Monroe . Ray was wearing tails and a derby, carrying a s il ve r tipped cane, and spor6ng spats when he arrived. His only regret was for all th e poor lost women he had to leave behind. Ray caused more disorder in his two years than any normal person could have caused in twenty years.

"B uck hot" Pellett joined our merry group in brogan shoes. Under his arm he (arrie d an old flintlock musket. "Buckshot" didn't really mean to join up but was

actually on a coon hunt one night when he met \Vally D eLong a nd some of th e boys in a card game under the bushes on the east camp us. Wa ll y was in a bar rel at the time of his arrival. "Buckshot" got in the game, lost his pants, and had to stick around until he could win them back.

Our next addition was a representative of Canada, none other than "His Majesty" Sheldon Weinstein . Sheldon arrived "aboot" three o'clock, ju st in time to make sure that his noble country was represented, and that his name got on the final list. Woody \Voodhams tripped in right beh ind Sheldon, shook hands w ith the Colonel and proceeded slowly to his assigned barracks . We didn't see much of the old boy until ·we sa\V him grunting, groaning, and ripping fl es h on the wrestling mat. Fred Tripple just got in in the nick of time. He was the last man in 1947 to get his name on the fatal list. Fred worked h a rd and made a name for himself befo re the lon g trip home.

Bob Cooper, who first entered Howe in 19+3. pulled out to join the paratroop ers. Bob returned after he had done his pa rt in the v ictor y and took the job of Assist ant Tactical Officer of the Lower School. We are all very proud of this member of our class.

It is to the Junior class, the class which will step into the Seniors shoes next year, that we now turn the reins over. It is these boys who will run our companies and ceremonies next year.

We feel that under the direction of Larry Bouton the Juniors have done a fine job this year. They did an exceptionally fine job with their preparations and the completion of the decorations for the Commencement Dance.

Freshmen are often called the small frogs in the big pond. Many of the class of '51 are graduates of the Lower School, leaders in that organi zat ion, and many more are potential leaders.

Under the direction of their president, Gerald Underwood, the Freshmen have adapted themselves to the changes that they have met and, for the first time, many have undertaken positions requiring leadership. It is from these men, w ho haven't had much to say as yet, that we expect to hear much in the near future.

EIGHTH GRADE

It is this group which will leave the Lower School this year, many after being members of this organization for a long time, and will go forward into their high school work fully prepared and able to meet any problem with which they may face. knovving that their background ·will enable them to tackle the situation.

Most of these boys will return to the Upper School next year, and it is certain that they will uphold the fine record that they have established this year.

SEVENTH GRADE

In this class are the leaders of the Lower School for next year.

There are many different types of leaders pictured here but the aim and end of each and every one of these Cadets is primarily the same, to better himself as a leader in all fields, to hold the respect of his fellow classmates, and to obtain for himself a broader knowledge through academic work.

LOWER SCHOOL IN 1947-'48

At the opening of school in September it was good to see some of the old boys back ea rl y. The y came to greet the newcomers , make them at home and get them acquainted wi th their new surroundings.

Under the leadership of Lt. Rorres the Company has sho w n much improvement ov er the former year. There is more esprit de corps in the military. Captain Stuckey pe rfected a real drill squad for ex hibition drills at Commencement. In addition to th e aid of Rorres the Captain has had the able a ss istance of Gillo\v , Ober, Cappas and F irst Sergeant Sullivan. The leaders in the neatest cadet contests week by week have been Russert, Sevy E. F., Prible, Storer. This year there will be two silent drills-a new one composed of smaller cadets called the Junior Team. The Seventh Grade ba rracks leads in the barracks competition. The best rooms this year were as follows: 6th Grade Barracks, Storer, Kosman, Hennings; Seventh Grade Barracks, Sevy, E. F., Best, Brewer, and Irwin; eighth grade barracks, Steele, Sullivan, Prible and Reeves. The Officer Roster consisted in addition to those mentioned, Staff Sergeants O'Neil, Courim , Tolley. Sergeants Galmish, Kennedy, Dollas, Hunt, Reeves, Hiatt, Prible, Ibbotson, Reichelt, Traver, Sackett, Rognlie H., Corporals Houghtby, Rieth, Obering W., Steele, Kerregan, Rognlie P. H., Silverston, Powers, McCoy, Wright, Brodsky. Privates First Class, Storer, Gross R. M., Ohmart B, Patterson, Bouton P. H., McKinnon, Gamron, Jackson J. A., Boyden, Sevy E. F., Stout. The officers in charge of the different barracks have had much responsibility and deserve credit for the ex cellent rooms. The inspecting officers for the Honor School commended them highly and were pleased with their work.

Because of the abandonment of the historic Midget-Lower Series, Mr. Weech, the new Lower coach, looked outside the school for competition for the Varsity Football team In spite of the strong competition with teams out of the eighth grade class the squad put up great battles. The schedule and the results were as follows :-Lower 0, St. Vincent, Ft. Wayne 7; Lower 0, St. Vincent, Ft. Wayne 25; Lower 0, St. Vincent 2 5; Lower 31, St. Joseph, Ft. Wayne 21; Lower 6. Elkhart 6; Lower 27, Orchard School at Indianapolis, Ind. 0; Lower 7, Elkhart at Elkhart 21; Lower 0, Elkhart at Howe 27.

The outstanding playe rs were Centers, Ober, Brewer; Ends, O'Neil, Oh mart G., Reeves; Tackles, Rognlie H , Rorres; Guards, Dollas, Reichelt, Best, Powers; Full Back , Tolley; Half Backs, Sullivan, Cappas, Kerregan. Promising reserves were Sengbusch, Krueger, Lorenzen, Irwin, Rieth, Boyden, Bouton P.H. and Rozan.

Considering the strong teams met-St. Vincent won the grade school championship of the city of Ft. Wayne, St. Joseph vvas Elkhart used two grammar sc hools against the Lower, one school each half-the Varsity had a fine season. For re w ard Cappas, the Captain of the team, Tolley, the best spirited player and Hunt from the Knick team and Courim from the White team were taken to see one of the Notre Dame games at South Bend. They were pleasantly entertained by Mrs Sackett.

Immediately after th e football season, Mr. Weech o r ganized his basketball varsity squad, while the other cadets played soccer under th e direcfrm of Mr. Runge and Mr. Jones.

Club football was very exciting this year with close-spirited contests. One can see this from the results of the games. They tied four games each and each team won three gam es. The outstanding players fo r the Knicks were: Captain Hunt , fullback Scott, who was a real driver, and Gross R. M who was a scrappy center along with McKinnoi1, a great arid hard tackler. For the Whites Courim was outstanding as a leader and a player while Kosman as a running back and Catchick as a hard defensive man were hard to beat.

In the fall the big red letter day was the Hallowe'en Party. There was a parade of cadets in costume in a transformed living room that resembled a witches' habitat. T,, o fortune-tellers were kept busy. Costume winners were: Best looking costume,

Prible, Stout; :\lost comical costume, DoIIas, Tatum; most original, Rognlie P. and Cadet Traver.

The next big social event just before the Christmas holidays was the Christmas party. There was a beautiful tree decorated by the Rices and Capt Stuckey surrounded by presents arranged by l\lrs. Miller for each cadet. Carols were sung with Mr. Ibbotson at the piano. The cadets, under the direction of Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Slater gave a fine program of recitations and mu iral numbers. Santa Claus came and distributed the gifts. Refreshments \vere served Follo"'ing the Christmas holidays came the Mid-year Examinations. Then, too, the winter activities began. Tumbling was under the guidance of Mr. Weech and Father Jennings; Mrs. Slater, art; Mrs. Kelly, speec h; Mr. Runge and Captain Stuckey, hobbies; Mr. Jones and Fr DeGolier, basketball; Mrs Downs cared for grades. A special speech class met once a week with Mrs. Kelly.

M., Patterson, Lisle, Rybicki, Catchick; Light Weight, Courim, Gamron, Wright, Smith, Lorenzen, Kissick, and Hunt; yvelter Weight, Cappas, Dollas, Sevy V.K., Sandford, Ibbotson, Powers , Ober, Hiatt, Brown, Bouton P.H.; Middle Weight, Russert, Galmish, Rognlie H., Rorres; Heavy \Veight, Sullivan, Reeves, Reichelt, Tolley, Kerregan and Spencer.

The Lower Varsity Basketball Team had a fine schedule. They won ten and lost eight games. The team finished second in the County Tournament being defeated only by Honeyville, 21-12. The eason scores were: L°';ver 24, Lima 23; Lower 9, Elkhart 2+; Lower 8, Lima 10; Lower 12, Lima 32; Lower 12, Sturgis 28; Lower 21, Scott 19; Lower 25, La Grange 23; Lower 10, Sturgis 17; Lower 33, Mongo 24; Lower 9, Maumee Valley 16; Lower 12, Maumee Valley 25; Lower 33, Pike Township 22; Lower 21, Mongo 15 ; 20, Wolcottville 18 (Tournament) ; Lower 16, La Grange 15 (Tournament) .

Rorres \Von the Championship with Courim runner-up. In the Junior division the players were: Kosman, Berthet, Tatum, Mars h , Bouton P., Gross R.M., Patterson. Bouton P. won the championship and Gross R.M was runner-up

The winter months found many sleds and toboggans on the toboggan slide . Also there were several skating excursions to the lake w ith much skating right around the Lower building.

Mrs. Slater guided the Art program, which included both arts and crafts This prnvided each cadet with an opportunity for self-express ion and the improvement of skills employing the various art media as well as the creation of handicraft objects and an apprec iation of art as it appears in everyday life. In the field of sketching and painting Cadets Kennedy, Lorenzen. and Ohmart B. have shown great skil l. Cadet Reeves and of hi s friends have produced amazing result s in metal with th e

vibra-t ool , w hile Prible and Silverston successfully experimente d in the construction of pl as t ic flo w ers. Other types of projects made available to the classe s include clay modell ing , w eaving , knitting, block-printing, braiding, wood working and burning. Speech training in the Lower this year w as more ex tensive than ever before. Each boy w as required to take a cour se which w as divided into three main divisions, speech corection for those who need it, speech improvement and public speaking for all. A n effort w as made to create interest in speech as well as to make it instructional. And to this end skits were written and acted out, poetry was read, stories told, wellknow n literary selection s were pantomined and debate que stions hotly contested. The use of the w ire recorder helped in creating interest and pointing out the faults and good po ints of each boy's speaking voice.

The three main speech events of the year were the Christmas program, the L incoln ' s Day program, and the declamation contest , held May 9th. The boys who to ok pa rt in the Christmas program were Berthet, Catchick, Courim, Gordon, Gove, Gross R.M. , Hansen, Herold W.N ., Houghtby, Kosman, Lorenzen, Marsh, Moeling, O ber, Ohmart B., Patterson, Schlacht, Sloan, Storer, Tatum, and Wilson R.C.

T hose who participated in the Lincoln's Day program were D'Angelo D., Garnro n, Haire , Kennedy, Kissick, Krueger, Rieth, Schondelmayer and Traver. The decl amations on May ninth before a large assemblage of parents and friends were by Ba rber , Brodsky, Courim , D'Angelo H., Gillow, Ibbotson, Jackson G.L., Kennedy, K rueger, Lorenzen, Ober, Reeves, Reichelt, Rozan, and Sevy V.K. The first and second in each of the three divisions were Oratory, Reeves and Ober; Dramatic, G illow and Courim; Humorous, Lorenzen and D'Angelo H.

In hobbies each cadet made at least one model. Best, Ibbotson, Gillow and O hmart B. should be commended. Prible and Silverston deserve special mention for their work in plastics. Models of airplanes, racers, ships, plastics, metal work, and wood models were on display at the May exhibition . Mr. Runge arranged this exhibition.

Over thirty cadets were out to make the tumbling exhib ition in ] une. Mr. Moeling presented the team with a new set of strongly designed chairs for the Clown fall. Also the addition of a new trampoline added much to the gymnastic exhibition. New costumes recently designed made the team outstanding as far as dress was concerned. Rich gold jerseys with maroon letter, maroon tights (stirrup type), maroon velveteens, with white sox and special shoes delighted the eyes of the Commencement audience on June 4th. The usual feature, the Fiery Hoop of Death, chair fall, kips, springs and clown acts were a part of an exhibition like the old time ones. The outstanding boys were Marsh, Steele, Rognlie P., Reeves, Prible. McKinnon and Sullivan on the high dives featured. The squad at the beginning was as follows: Bouton P. , Catchick, D'Angelo H., Jackson J.A., Courim, Gross R.M., Durkin, Kissick, Krueger, Larsen, McKinnon, Marsh, Reeves, Prible, Rozan, Rognlie P , Steele, Lorenzen, Sutton, Tolley, Ibbotson, Sullivan, Hornbeck, Stout, Patterson, Ohmart B., Fennell, Kennedy and O'Neil.

A new trampoline group was organized when the Lower added a trampoline to its equipment. Mr. Weech is coach and leader of the squad These are known as the 360 degrees club. In order to qualify for the group, a boy must be able to perform a complete front or back somersault on the trampoline and the additional exercises leading up to these advanced skills. The members of the club are O'Neil, Steele, Reeves, Prible, Silverston, Sutton, Rognlie P., McKinnon, Marsh, and Kennedy. Other members of the trampoline group working toward this goal are Gordon, D'Angelo H., Renz, Schondelmayer, Stout and Wright The group gave a special performance at the La Grange High School Gymnasium May 21st. They also gave an exhibition as part of the tumbling on Friday, June 4th. It was a great success.

During the spring activities Softball took its place with the Knicks and Whites fighting for the club championship . Fr. DeGolier coached the Whites and Mr. Jones the Knicks. Mr. Runge coached the squad of smaller boys in out-of-door sports The Whites lost the series games to the Knicks. The Knick players were: 2nd B, Berthet;

S.S. , Kissick; 3rd B , Spencer; 1st B, Ober; 1st B and C, Krueger; C and RF, Bouton P.; P and CF , Gamron; P and Field, Tatum; F, Durkin; F, Rieth; F, Brod sky; C and F , Storer; LF, Captain Sevy E.F. The Knick Softball team players were Sackett, Lisle, Hennings, Rozan, Smith and Brown.

The Varsity Baseball team is inexperienced and Captain Stuckey is working hard to improve all departments of play. The schedule calls for two games with Middlebury, Sturgis Freshman, Sturgis Midgets 3 games, Battle Creek Choir team and Elkhart team. Brewer as pitcher has been the most reliable. Rognlie H. 3rd B; Kosman, relief pitcher; Galmish, regular catcher; Russert, C and RF; Ohmart G., lst B; Gillow, S.S.; Courim , center field with Cappas; Hunt, P, and LF; Haire, 2nd B. The rest of tlie squad were: Boyden C., Catchick, Dollas, Gross R.M., Hiatt, Kerregan, Ladd, a promising 6th grader, also Ohmart B, Patterson, Rorres, Sengbusch, Tolley and Wilson R.

The Todd Literary Society, composed of the Fifth and Sixth Grades, had thirty members this year. The boys aranged and put on their own programs which were planned by the program committee. Each month a new committee was appointed. Again the Todd Society sent a cash contribution to Boys Town at Christmas time. The officers for the past year were Gross R.M., President; Bouton P.H., Vice-President; Hennings, Secretary; Tatum, Treasurer; and Ohmart B., Sergeant-at-arms.

The highlight of the year was the annual picnic held during the latter part of May. The boys journeyed to the lake, consumed huge quantities of hamburgers, potato salad, and ice cream, and came home feeling it was a delightful ending to a "literary" year.

The McKenzie Literary Society was sponsored by Fr. Jennings. The officers were Rorres, President; Cappas, Vice-President; Kerregan, Secretary; Rognlie H., Treasurer; Parliamentarian, Gillow; Program Committee, Kennedy, Tolley and Ober. During the year there were talks given by visitors, debates, special movies, gift to Care for overseas destitute people, discussions and interesting, informative talk by members. The picnic was a grand success and this brought the society's activities to a sucessful close.

Fr. Jennings has had a faithful group of acolytes who have received training to serve the altar The Head Server was Prible with Bouton P.H. alternating. The servers were: Ibbotson, Patterson, Tolley, Sullivan, Herold C.A., Gillow, Rognlie P., Rognlie H., Courim, Marsh, Hornbeck, Sevy E.F., Gamron, McKinnon, Rorres and Reeves. The acolytes were on duty Founders' Day and Mothers' Day at the Lower special services . They have also served at Baptisms and Marriages. The highlight of social pleasure was a big rarebit given by Fr. Jennings

Beginning this year the boys of the Lower were divided into two choral groups instead of a single group as in former years, so that the music learned might better fit the vocal range o{ the individual boy. In addition to the group singing, both divisions assembled together one day a week to listen to music records based on an outline of the history of famous composers of the various periods with short biographical sketches of the composers and comments by Mr. Ibbotson on the music played. This gave the cadets a better appreciation of good music.

A cantata based upon the story of Pocahontas with music by Francesco B. DeLeone was given in February. The music was sung by members of the group "A" and the story enacted in costume by members of group "B". Mrs. Lois Kelly and ?\.·1r . Slater were in charge of the dramatics.

The soprano· and alto sections of the Chapel choir consists of nearly thirty cadets of the Lower School who receive special training in voice. During the school year these cadets, besides leading the music in the chapel services, learn and sing some of the best literature in Church music. Several trips were made to sing in various cities. Trips were made to St. James' Church, South Bend, Ind.; Trinity Church, Ft. YV' ayne, Ind.; St. Paul's Church, Hammond, Ind. In addition to these trips the ladies of St Mark's Guild gave them a delicious choir dinner in the Guild Hall Rooms at Howe.

At Commencement, as part of the Lower program with tumbling, drill, and rrampoline, a chorus of boys under the direction of Mr. Ibbotson sang: Group "A'', Ciribiribin-Pestalozzi; All, School Song "Dear Old Howe"; Group "B", Our Flag-Gibb; Group "B", The Spanish Guitar-Student Song; Group "A", "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny"-Bland.

During the year the Lower gave generously to all good causes-to the Red Cross, Heart Fund, Cancer Fund, Infantile Paralysis Fund and beat last year's Mite Box offering which exceeded a hundred dollars.

The Lower Library was fortunate this year. Thanks to the Mothers' Club and to Cadets Barber, Brodsky, Traver and others, the ' library acquired many more books than their quota. Books bought for the library are selected with care, and different age as we ll as interest levels are taken into consideration. Each teacher keeps a small library of everchanging books in his room and the rest of the books are kept in the common room. Thus the books are made available to the boys at all times and "outside" reading is a privilege for which the boys work hard.

The Herald Staff of the Lower had a busy year under their faculty adviser, Mr. Jones . They have week by week given an accurate picture of the events of the Lower School. Gillow and Prible have been associate editors. Cappas was sports editor and Hornbeck, Rozan, Brodsky, Steele, Marsh, Lorenzen were reporters.

There was a fine exhibit for the mothers and fathers of the Lower boys arranged by Mr. Runge. Academic work, projects in science, hobbies, mathematic projects and drawings, English work, maps, airplanes, boats, trains, fire engines, hook and ladders, artificial flowers, illustrated book reports, electrical and radio exhibits and a model pyramid passed in review before . the many visitors at Mothers' Day. They were delightfully surprised and pleased at the work done this past winter.

The big social event of the Spring season was the dance. The floor was crowded with couples and at least three hundred crowded in. The formals were colorful and the cadets in their dress uniforms presented a fine appearance. Movies and color pictures were taken of the affair. The room was gaily and prettily decorated by Mr. Runge and Mr. Rice and their committee of cadets . There was a real garden with a lake in the midst near the fireplace. Trellises were covered ·with flowers and the ceiling wit h balloons of all colors. Prible and Reeves with their dates ' led the grandmarch after a receiving line headed by Rorres and his girl, the principal, Bishop and Mrs. Mallett, Col. and Mrs. Bouton and the faculty and their wives had greeted the guests A five piece orchestra furnished the music which played a variety of smooth and lively tunes. Refreshments of ice-cream and cake were served. This event will never be forgotten by the young people who were at their first dance.

The work of the academic this year has been of fine quality. Cappas, Gillow, Rognlie H., Dallas, Bouton P.H., Courim, Patterson, Storer, Gross R.M., Sevy E.F., Sackett, are members of the Honor Society , Beta Lambda Sigma, of the Lower School. Trips were made to Sturgis to hear the Barber Shop Quartette entertainment, a trip to Ft. Wayne to see and hear Spike Jones, and the festivities of the year ended \Vith a joint dinner of the Alpha Delta Tau and the Lower Society at Ft. Wayne in the Keenan Hotel. A movie was also seen. Many Reward of Merit cards were given out for "A's" in studies for the months. The leading students in ·academic average were: 8th Grade, Cappas, Gillow, Sackett, and Rognlie H.; 7th Grade, Com·im, Dallas, Sevy E.F., Galmish, Sengbusch, and \Vright; 6th Grade, Bouton P., Patterson, Gross R.M., Ohmart B.; 5th Grade, Storer, Gordon and Sloan. The all-round cadets in the All-Point competition, show the leaders to be: Gillow, Cappas, Rognlie H., Ibbotson, Tolley, Bouton P., Sevy E.F., Storer, Galmish, Courim and Dallas. Another Spring feature was the big Carnival, an enjoyable event for parents, cadets and campus people. There were dart games, throwing at cats, throwing ball through the clown's mouth, a fine museum of curiosities by Prible and Reeves , cane ringing, throwing through a swinging ring, and a shooting gallery. Prizes were given in each booth. Ibbotson was in charge of the sound record machine. Weiners

and buns with soft drinks had a heavy call. Sackett and Haire took in most ticket51 in their booth.

The annual picnic was held at Cedar Lake. There we re races, games, softball, prizes and refreshemnts which tasted good in the open air. There was the Tug-of-Wa r bet\nen the two clubs. Sunburned and tired the boys vote d it the best picnic ever.

The annual wheel ride took place on May 3 l st . Fifteen riders had signified their desire to go on the ride. There was a breakfast at the Kingsbury early in th e morning; then a ride to Kendallville, and on to Avilla for lunch. Then they rode to Ft. \Vayne. Showers <U1d rest were enjoyed at the Keenan Hotel and a fine dinner fo llow ed After dinner the group went to the Emboyd Theatre , and finally arrived home very tired. Thoe applying were : Renz , Schondelrnayer, Cappas, D'Angelo D., Gillow, Hiatt, Houghtby, Ohmart G . , Sackett, Ibbotson, Kerregan, Prible, Rognlie H., Steele. The le aders were Poljak, Bouton L., Mr. Runge arid Lt. Cooper.

Ther e were many educational movies on the program to help the regular academic courses; movi es on sc ien ce, history> math ematics and athletics. Also each month there was a story of a classic-"Tom Brown's School Days", "Little Men" and others \Vere shown. Ibbotso n ran the projector. Traver checked the films in and sent them out. Sullivan helped Ibbotso n.

Mr. Jones and Mr. Weech took Reeves, Renz, Sackett, Houghtby, D'Angelo D. , Kennedy, Sevy V.K., Sandford, Schondelmayer, Best, and Spencer-all interested science students-on a guided school tour to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. They had a pl easa nt ye t very instructive trip.

The cooperative tests and sec ondary board tests were given to the Eighth and Seventh grades.

Mrs. Miller has handled many birthday dinners and feeds during the past year. She also has kept a close watch on the health of the cadets so that very little sickness has occurred during the year. Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Miller do much to keep the boys neat and in orderly rooms. Much of Mrs. Miller's time is spent in casual visits from the cadets just to talk things over.

The club track meet was an interesting final event in the year. Rorres and Kerregan looked like possible winners in senior competition.

So you see from the time of the watermelon ride in the fall which opened the school year to the final hike in June, the Lower is a beehive of activity-academic, athletic, military and social. There was religious work each Saturday, with special talks given on the problems of school life by the principal. These were helped by a series of wonderfully reverent portrayals of the Life of Christ in sound films. This year has been so full it has passed rapidly and everyone had a busy but enjoyable time. Many gifts including pool equipment by Dr. Storer, Ping Pong table built by Mr. Rice, new athletic store room and ·hobby rooms were received.

We hope all have a happy and restful summer spent in a most profitable manner. Remember to write a newsy letter all about your summer vacation to Father Jenningsthis letter to reach him about August first, if possible. Then each of you will receive news of his friends for a Family Letter will be sent to ea:ch cadet as

Once again, Alpha Delta Tau has had a splendid year and has grown to the largest membership in its history. :Membership is based on high academic standards and good citizenship. Entrance is dependent on Honor Cards received which, in themselves, are proof of work well done.

Following the many formal initiation s the members have enjoy ed frequent "feeds" and dinners. In April the society joined with the Lower School Honor Society and had its annual dinner in Ft. Wayne. During the winter the organization ventured to Pokagon State Park where they spent the afternoon on the toboggan slide and enjoyed a chicken dinner.

Weekly meetings of the Sword and Shield Club are held in Colonel Bouton's office, with the Superintendent, the PMS&T, and the Commandant of Cadets. The purpose of the organization is to discuss problems and to bring about closer harmony between the cadets, their officers, and the administration.

Sword and Shield is one of the most outstanding organizations on the campus, . being composed of the commissioned officers of the three companies and the Battalion Staff.

THE HOWE HERALD

The Herald is published weekly and sent to the four corners of the earth, where it is read by parents, patrons and alumni of Howe.

The cadets receive a complete account of the week's activities in the four page paper.

The Howe Herald is the concern of all and therefore well-staffed with capable boys. This year Editor Smith, N., has done a fine job , and Mr. Rembold, the faculty adviser, deserves much credit for his work.

We are proud to say that the Herald is a member of the Quill and Scroll Society and the National Scholastic Press Association.

In the case of the Seniors, the time requirement is only three and one half years providing they meet the approval of the members by a unanimous vote.

It is hoped that in the future the Old Guard will be able to construct a room in one of the new buildings for the use of the Alumni. The finances for the room are being boosted each year by the selling of flowers for the formal dances.

It is in this organization that the varsity lettermen rally to promote good spmt and sportsmanship. Membership is based on the winning of a varsity letter and the candidates character. Under Mr. Tingley, the faculty adviser, the club has flourished and many worthwhile activities have been undertaken.

THE ISOH CLUB

With a keen interest in science the ISOH Club meets once a week to further the course of scientific education. The club is one of the most active and creative organizations on the campus.

Throughout the year the ISOH Club has brought in various speakers and lecturers. The organization took a trip to Elkhart to inspect the Miles Laboratory and the Conn Musical plant.

In February a science show was presented with great success, under the direction of Mr. McGill.

THE COMUS CLUB

The name "Camus" comes from the God of Joy and Mirth and indeed the Camus Club has followed close to its meaning. Under the guidance of Mr. Tucker, the organization has grown both in size and importance.

"Sun-Up", "Career Angel" and "Ten Little Indians", the three plays produced this year, were all successes.

Throughout the year the Comus Club has been extremely active. Plays and speech contests have been the source of much entertainment Each play has proven more of a success and each contest has indicated the progress of the contestants For the first time, the Camus Club has branched out into the field of Debate this Spring.

MASQUE AND GAVEL

Masque and Gavel is also a new but important organization at Howe. Its purpose is to promote student achievement in all phases of speech. The requirements for membership are difficult to meet, but this year a large number of cadets have achieved membership.

During the past year Howe has done much towards increa ing its activities 111 speech and it is hoped that this will be continued in the future.

Through the aid of Mr. Tucker, Howe has made great strides in speech, and membership in the N F.L. has g;rown rapidly.

Membership is based on points, twenty of which must be earned before a candidate can be elected to membership. These points are obtained in various speech contests throughout the year.

This year points were won in contests at Peru, at Howe, Terre Haute and at Bloomington.

NATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY

This year the Howe chapter of the National Thespian Society was spread over the campus. This was only the second year in the life of this organization at Howe but the membership this year increased rapidly.

The requirements for Thespian membership are stiff and the aims of the organization are two fold: first, to advance standards of excellence in all phases of dramatic arts and, second, to create an active and intelligent interest in the dramatic arts among students in high school.

Thespian comes from "Thespus", the great Greek actor , and so the Howe cadets ha ve tried to parallel his ways.

It is composed of boys who have maintained high standards in academic work and in conduct for at least one semester. Membership in the organization is held only so long as the requirements that have been set up are upheld.

In April, Beta Lambda Sigma had their joint feed with the Alpha Delta Tau 111 Ft. Wayne.

THE RIFLE TEAM

This year Howe can boast one of its finest rifle teams in a long time. Many boys met the requirements of the team and spent long hours, during the winter months, practicing on the range. Howe is proud of its recently improved range and feels that it is now , perhaps, one of the finest of its kind in the country.

VARSITY FOOTBALL

Mr. E. L. Moore was the coach's name, and a grand guy he was. He made the boys work hard, but they liked it, and in the long run it payed off, as they improved their ball handling and "T" tactics as the season progressed. They soon learned that this formation took practice, practice, and more practice.

Concordia was the first foe and Howe disposed of them in short order by the score of 13-0, at Dwenger Park in Ft. Wayne. It was a game featured by long sweeping runs and snappy passes. The line played a game that inspired everyone.

A swift team was the Wabash eleven, and they showed this when they downed the Wildcats 40-7 on their home field. They showed how the "T" really operated.

Morgan Park Military Academy played host to the Wildcats and slapped their ears back. Howe suffered greatly from fumbles deep in the enemy territory. The final score was 21-0.

When the Auburn Red Devils came to Howe they were sporting a margin of 250 points scored to their opponents 4. They got a big surprise from the Wildcats who were up for this game and downed them 37-0. They had previously won six straight victories and rated fifteenth in the United Press poll.

Goshen Redskins, that's a name Howe won't forget for a long time. The entire Corps supported the team at Goshen. A chartered train had carried the cadets to their destination. Howe's goal was not accomplished as the Redskins beat them, 12-0.

Detroit University School invaded the campus the next week and Howe was out to avenge last year's defeat. They did just that. The score was 26-7, and long runs and passing were again outstanding features.

The next game was the "homecoming game", and this one was a return engagement. Once again Howe did the trick, this time to the tune of 14-0. However, Concordia was determined to avenge the early season defeat, and they nearly did, but once Howe caught on to the tricky plays it was Howe who dominated Williams Field that Founders' Day afternoon.

A hard hitting team was this year sparked by a brilliant lineman, Captain George Shook. George hit hard and fast, and will not soon be forgotten.

It is fitting, in football, to say a word for those who so ably supported and re placed players, the substitutes. To the men behind the scenes,-thanks !

RESERVE BASKETBALL

LT nder the \i\latchful eye of the coach, Mr. Keith Davis, the Wildcat Cagers finished off an uneventful season, with a \Von and lost record of 10 won and 8 lost. ot too impressive, but the Wildcat competition this year was much keener than it has been in the past.

Just before Christmas vacation Howe had won five games, all by impressive scores. However, on the last day before the holidays Howe encountered Shipshe\vana, losing to them. This was the turning point and from here on in the team had to bear down. Next came Lima and the 'Cats outdid the Orioles 37 to 2+. The team was beginning to work, and look good.

The Angola Hornets were just too much for Howe, especially on their own home floor. The score was 46 to 34.

Once again, County Tourney time drew near, and the 'Cats drew for their first opponents, none other than the Lima Orioles. It ·wasn't until the dying seconds that the 'Cats went all out and broke loose with successive baskets. That gave them the game.

In the second game, Howe handed out a drubbing to Scott to the tune of 50 to 29 Captain elect Jerry Fox was hot that night, as he poured in 19 tallies. It was a sad day Saturday, as Shipshewana won in the final frame 50 to 46.

It was all over but the shouting, but there were plenty of tough games ahead, induding one with the Concordia Cadets from Ft. Wayne. They were just too much for the Howe boys, who succumbed to the score of 38 to 27.

And there were other thrillers, including a sweet overtime triumph over the LaGrange Lions, 42 to 37. Albion gave the 'Cats an addition to their loss column as they handed them a 49 to 38 drubbing.

Howe trimmed Topeka by a score of 44 to 34, and the next night made mince meat out of the D. U. S. five, 42 to 20.

The Cranbrook Cagers came to town sporting a tall and classy squad, and they showed it in their victory, as they won 34 to 31.

Next came the State Tourney,

the Wildcats were beaten by the Ligonier Raiders, at Kendallville, to the tune of 44 to 32.

WRESTLING TEAM

The Howe Grapplers met with a successful season this year, finishing with a proud record of only three defeats out of ten meets. The defeats were handed to the matmen by Lafayette, Morgan Park and Cranbrook. Two ties at the hands of South Bend Central and Hammond Clark account for two more of the ten meets. The five victories obtained by the Howe team were all with decisive and one-sided scores. Hammond Clark was the first to fall soon followed by Morgan Park Military Academy and Cranbrook. The other two victories were the losses of our near neighbors, Sturgis.

Venturing to the State Meet the "Grunter's and Groaner's Association" of Howe placed among the best teams in the state by winning a fifth place. Individual honors in the "big" meet went to Habeck, Ellison, and Bass. Habeck , after three rigorous bouts, managed to "pour it on" in his final match and thus captured the state title for the heavyweight division. Ellison waded through his first three opponents but succumbed by one fatal point to his foe in the final bout and placed a close second in the 165 pound class. Bass, after three rapid pins in preliminary matches, gave way to his opponent in the final match to place second in the 138 pound class. . A total of sixteen

teams participated in this meet and Hmn's 25 points were just four shy of the second place. Howe, however, led all of the teams entered in the number of falls with a total of eleven.

Howe was well represented at this state contest of brawn with the following cadet participating in the meet: Becker, 95 pound class; Wilson, M.]., 105 pound class; Rosselott, 120 pound clas ; Keeney, ]., 128 pound class; Brill, 133 pound clas ; Swi her, 1+5 pound class; and Woodhams, 175 pound class.

VARSITY TRACK

The Howe cindermen, boasting a strong team, in spite of the loss of good lettermen, have come through very impressively in the seas :m thus far.

For the first meet, Howe handed a combined aggregation of Shipshewana and Middlebury a 99 to 33 V2 to 24 lacing. As far as the record books go, it probably tands as one of the highest scores turned in by a Howe squad in recent decades. Milholland led the field in garnering 19 Y2 points for high honors. The Howe thinlies showed strength in the dashes, hurdles, high jump, broad jump, shot put, and pole vault.

The second meet they participated in they also won, the score not as high, but it was a win, just the same. Freemont, and Hamilton were the victims this time by 82 to +9, to 29. Howe took several firsts, and swept the dashes.

By now, the squad was beginning to come on its own, and all the boys were working hard for the coming county meet. Howe, as it had been agreed, was to participate for times and records only, and not for places. This was done to promote a track interest in the county schools Milholland succeeded in being the only individual to break a record, and this one was his own record in the low hurdles. The half mile relay team also lowered the previous standard.

At the Goshen Relays which are participated in by all the big name schools in the state, Howe came through with a sixth place out of 26 B division schools. Herring turned in some stellar performances in the 220 and also contributed some fine dashes in the several relays. The Howe half mile relay team took a third with good time of 1.37 seconds.

The final meet before this copy goes to press finds the thinlies swamping the Lions from LaGrange, 84 to 22Y2. Howe took nine out of the 12 firsts

VARSITY BASEBALL

The baseball season got under way with Mr. Slater continuing where he left off last year with some sound returning lettermen, who should help him round out a good squad. Among his returning men are, Fox, who should turn in several victories for the 'Cats. Leo Ellison, Hardy, Poljak, Fulton, Bass, and Smith, L. G. are the others.

His assistant is Sgt. Greenwood, who once played baseball for Howe under Coach Slater. With a good crop of young rookies who will be out there doing their bit to contribute to the cause, by mid-season, Howe should have quite a team.

The first game whh Shipshewana turned out to be a rout with the cadets on the long end of a 14 to 4 score. Plenty of long hits, and tight pitching were the main factors in the victory. Most of the players who made the trip saw action and, as the result of this, gained some experience which they might need next year, especially the pitchers.

Middlebury came to town sporting two fine pitchers, but Howe combined two home runs and fine pitching for a close victory to the tune of 3 to 2 Howe led all the way, but just to make things more interesting, Fox got a bit wild in the final frame after he had pitched wond erful ball, and did not get the side out until two runs had crossed the plate.

When Howe went to Elkhart, it was a different story. Elkhart won, 17 to 2. Five Howe errors paved the way for the opponents victory, although they got their share of the breaks in the game.

As this article goes to press, Howe has just lost its second game, this one being to Albion, always an archrival of the Wildcats, but they too have a trip to make to Howe, and you can be sure the team will be out there trying to pay them back tenfold.

TENNIS

With a new group of boys out for this sport, Coach Frank M. Little, Jr., launche<l his net campaign with the hopes of attaining some victories in the name of Howe.

The team suffered greatly from the loss of such valuable lettermen as: Rice, G. \V., Boyce, Corbin and Maddox.

Those who compose the team at present are Fife, Foy, W., Stephenson, Merriman, and Thornberry.

ANTHONY ELLISON AND FAMILY

There is now a conflict of social ideas regarding health and hospital insurance. Many advocate that this important matter should be handled by the government exclusively and on a compulsory payroll tax basis.

We in the insurance business point with pride to the fact that our business is doing a grand job. We are doing more than one billion dollars annually in providing this protection to those who desire it Practically all workers are covered throughout the nation. We believe the individual should have the right to select his own plan to fit his own needs which he cannot do under a government compulsory law.

We believe that competitive free enterprise will take more personal interest in the individual than a government bureaucracy.
