1951 Howe Military School Yearbook

TAT L ER E MILITARY SCHOOL* HOWE, IN DIANA

ST. JAMES' CHAPEL

Ten y ears from now, your memory will recall many events that were part of your life at Howe, but we believe that the first that you recall will be centered in the building pictured on the opposite page. Therefore, we open this book with the true heart of Howe School.

This year, the Senior Class dedicates its yearbook to a . man who, in addition to his work as headmaster, teacher, and coach has found time to give personal guidance and advice to all who asked. For your sincere interest in each and every cadet, for the patience and pleasant humor with which you corrected our frequent and repeated errors, we the Class of Nineteen Fifty-One dedicate our book to you, Mr. Raymond R. Kelly.

RAYMOND R. KELLY, M. S.

To this group fell the difficult iob of recording the history of the past several years, which is no small task . Each has helped to make this a fine book, some with the words that you read, others raised th e money necessary to print th3 book.

SERGEANT-AT-ARMS

STAN LOOS

Do you remember nineteen forty-four? There was a war on then. No one could get anything without a priority, and to get a hotel room was nearly beyond the realms of wildest conjecture. One September evening, in nineteen fourty-four, three tired men, Bill Hutchinson, Bob Hunter, and Reg Mallett, destined to be the first members of the Closs of '51 , stumbled into "Ye O lde Howe Inn", (Located on Route #9. Howe, Indiana), to beg for a room for the night. After beating on the registration desk for twenty minutes they managed to rouse the desk clerk, Jim Merritt, who told them in a twenty minute oration, which also described the evils of liquor and demon nicotine, that there were no vacancies to be had. That would have been the end of it, but who should stick his nightcapped head out of the manager's offi::e other than the manager himself Burt "service with a big SMILE" Bouton. Burt suggested that there might be a room or two left in the Lower Barracks wing of the hotel, so Jim wro te their names in his big book, and the first members of the Class of '51 were duly enrolled. It was a year later that the next group of boarders arrived. The war was over now but rooms were still hard to find. By setting up some cots in the broom closets, we found room enough for Johnny Nesbitt, C: ame Partridge, Bill LaRa, and Bob Heap. All were destined to attain great heights at Howe; Johnny was to be commander of Company "A", Crame wa:; to be Battalion Adjutant, Bill was to command the band, and Bob was to lead the Lower. In fourty-six, another gang stormed into the lobby and demanded rooms. There were just enough guests checking out to make room for the newcomers. John Dixon and Chuck Reynolds were the first to sign the register, and after a losing argument with Jim, the desk clerk, John DeBerry and i< arl D9fo9 realized that they could never talk him into a cut in room prices, so they signed too. Gerry Underwood entered next after having had a knock-down, drag-out argument with the doorman, Don Stuckey, over who should carry his trunk. Bill Ruffer and Dave Hackett followed, carrying Gerry's luggage, Fourly-seven saw Burt, the manager, greeting newcomers with outstretch ed arms, hands palm up, of course. Scott Baird and Dan Neidballa were dragged off the street, and once that 1hey were inside they decided to take a room . Stan Loos and Tim Gomez we: e hauled in the same way, while they were running the annual Black Top Marathon, a three hundred mile race between Sturgis, Michigan, and LaGrange, Indiana. Having read the Inn's advertisement which painted a picture of the inn as a typical countryside hotel, "Whe; e peace and quiet abound", Tom Pearlman and Bruce "The Innocent" Burke, arrived to take a rest cure. They ended up taking a shock treatment instead. There was a sudden outburst of gunfire just outside the hotel, and when a ll the noise subsided, in strutted "Dead Eye" Jim Steers, loaded down with skeet shooting medals, with his trusty rifle cradled in one arm. It took twenty minutes to coax old Jim, who had kepi us completely terrified with the story of his exploits with Chief Lackinook, and the battle in which he had killed twenty Indians with his trusty BAR lo come ou1 from under the registration desk. Rep Powell, the head bell boy, ran out the back door of the hotel, and hasn't stepped foot back into it since the shooting. Spider Wirtz entered next with two of Wilsons ten pound dumbbells un:ier his arms . Willie followed wi1h the other four hundred pounds on one shoulder. After Willie signed the book, it was officially closed for that year.

Manager Bouton's advertising paid off again in fourty-eight as eight more men arrived laboring under the deluded impression that the Howe Inn was fa med far and near for its hot mineral water baths. When analyzed, the only minerals Howe's water was found to con tain were lime, calcium, and some iron which had rusted off the inside of the pipes, and it was found to be sr. hard that one couldn't drive a nail through it. Bill Johnson and "Drunken Lou" Pyman were given the bridal suite, bu' when Bill found that he could not convert Lou to Alcoholics Anonymous, (Lal was a member of Alcoholics Unanimous), the two separated. Chip McCoy galloped up to the door, into the lobby, and stopped hi: horse, Gal O'Peace in front of the desk, and called for a groom. Doug endea up stabling his horse himself, but he took a room anyway. Gil Graham and Nip Kellett were the first to complain about room service. and Rat Ruttan and Brad Norton and Rog Jones signed their names lo a petition demanding more chamber maids to clean their rooms. It is suspeclea that the petition was placed in the open file beneath the manager's desk, !or nothing was done lo remedy the situation. The next year, in an attempt to improve service, the management hireri two new bell boys, Bell Captain, Bill Cieri and Bell Colonel Paul Henry. To. gether, the two of them took good care of Mance Gillis, and Dum-dum Miller Ed Bennett and John Poag moved into the smoking room in '48, and little has been seen of either since. After disposing of his pet vulture. Gerry Starbuck was given a room, an<i no sooner did Dick Templeton and Cub Stewart arrive than candy and cigarettes started to disappear from Earl Weiss' cigar counter, which was localed at one end of the lobby. Jim Merritt, doubling as a tailor, measured Rud Reinecke and Chud: Carlisle for peg pants, but when Jim was through with them , they turned ou· to be gray parachute pleatless trousers with an odd black stripe down boili sides. Jim was so pleased with his new invention, that he went into business and his creations sold like hotcakes. The last newcomers to The Howe Inn came in nineteen-fifty, and will. them they brought a ll kinds of trouble for the Inn. It's rumored that it wm Frank Morrison and Sam Young who were the ones who set the Kefauver Committee on Earl Weiss. It seems that both men were swindled by Earl'; numbers racket, and when they wrote to their congressman, the investigation was the result. Before an overflowing crowd in Blake Hall, and the televisior. cameras, and news photographers popping flashbulbs, Earl admitted that i' was Burl Bouton who had asked him to set up his gambling machine at Howe and that the proceeds were to go to the "Fords For Bouton, and others Master; Fund". Said Committee Chairman, Black Frank Connolly, "Costello used that oni three weeks ago."

It was Art Caputo and Don Vermillion who started the worst scandal' in 1he history of the Inn. While both were stealing tomatoes out of Ray Kelly's garden, they stumbled across a hollowed-out pumpkin which contained the secret plans for the air conditioning system of the new academic building.

Doubtless you will recall the blazing headlines of the newspapers which read, "Howe's Security Lost In Pumpkin Papers Affair." In the investigation that followed most of the hotel staff was questioned. Chief of Personnel, Ray Kelly, said "This is one of the very few things that I know absolutely nothing about." Th~ investigation finally narrowed the search to one man, Howard W . Kodiac, who was indicted and later acquitted. Kodiac, brilliant political scientist ond suspected Red sympathizer answered the question of what knowledge h e had of the affair, with, "Use your head. Don't be a sucker! 11" Before the year ended, Sam Haskins had gotten house detective Fred Greenwood, in a used car ssandal. So, one can see that peace and quiet is not all that abounded in the little country-side Inn located on Route Nine, Howe, Indiana, nor did it abound elsewhere in the world. As we check oul of our rooms for the last time, tipping lhe bell boys, the desk clerk, the manager, and even the doorman, and the little man at the cigar counter, with many thanks for a most enjoyable slay, we will be stepping out into a world that is once again on the verge of all-out war. Since the first members of our class, the Class of '51, arrived and the very best that has ever left Howe , there has been a lot of history made , and not all of it has been good.

It will be the aim of the Class of '51, to do its best to make its future as good. and even better than has been its history.

/ldWttte4, 1950-51 ATHLETICS

Football began the fall term with a Varsity squad consisting of lettermer Larracuenta, Schleicher Grathwohl, Beckley, Peterson, Corrado, Olson, Palmt:: Virgil, Storer, Storer T., Roelke, Ramsey. Monograms went to Higle· Lockhart, and Walton. The season opened with a win at St. Adelbert, Sou' Bend, 6-0. St. Jude of Ft. Wayne won 27-18; St. Vincent 14-12; Precious Bloc 31-13; St. Peter 26-23. Lower 18, St. Patrick 0. Coaches Slayton and Kraai lt: the Varsity. The most spirited boys, Storer T. and Kerr and the Captain Schie cher, went to Notre Dame to see the Notre Dame-Pittsburgh game. From lh \Vhites, Durkin and from the Knicks, Denton. The Intramural Series between the Whites and the Knicks was thrilling ar. only after six exciting games, 6-6, 20-0, 19-0, 19-7, 6-7, 7-6, did the Whites win th series. Mr. Bell coached the Knicks and Seibold F., Sgt. Heap and Fr. Jenninu took turns coaching the Whites. · While the Varsity basketball team was having its pre-Christmas practice series of Knick-White soccer games was held. Under Coach Kraal the basketball season went off with a bang in th defeat of Mongo and their Reserves. The outstanding event of the season wa the two-day trip to play York Twp. and Pike Twp. Schools of Ohio. The lette: men were: Larracuenta, Sloan, Palmer, Roelke, Beckley, Higley and Corrad Monograms were won by Walton, Robbins, Schleicher and Manager Lockhar The intramural basketball was exciting between Senior and Junior Knick and Whites. The Senior Whites record was seven wins and one loss. Mr. Be coached the Knicks and Mr. Slayton coached the Whites. The Senior Knie· letter winners were Cuthbert, Denton, Hackler, Kerr, Moeling, Peterson, Swa: son. The Junior Knick winners were Bash, Harding, Hill, Bancroft, Rosenfelc Wade, Williamson and Haberly. The Senior White letter winners were: Reid, J. Schram, Schlacht, Musse: Shedd, Hemans, Emshwiller, Bowdoin. The Juniors were Brett, Storer W., an Klope. The Junior Knicks won the series 4-0. During the winter months there was a ping pong tournament held k Juniors and Seniors in both singles and doubles. Hill and Harding led lh Junior doubles; Gariepy, Bancroft and Hill led in the Junior singles, while Penr rich,, Reid J., and Olson led in the Senior singles and Schram-Kerr led in Ir Senior doubles. Also during the winter months there was an activities progra: with Fr. Jennings coaching Tumbling Sgt. Heap, Trampoline, Mr. Slayto. Wrestling and Mr. Kraal, Rules for Athletic Sports. ART

Also during the winter's activity Mrs. Sla ter's Art classes furnished a: enjoyable and constructive part of the winter program. Fundamentals c design, color harmony, use and care of materials and appreciation of art in i everyday aspects were taught by means of actual participation and practk in the making of numerous projects. Besides drawing, modelling, and various kinds of painting, cadets we1· encouraged to use their knowledge and creative skills in the production of era: objects such as trays, book-ends, letter-holders, scrapbooks, belts, lanyard: plaques, mats and costume jewelry. In the time allotted to their activity many beauiful and practica l proje:· were completed. The most valuable part of the program, however, was fr, development of a sense of achievement and the enioyment of discovering hie den talents and skills. Those participating found their time a ll too short befo1 the cupboards were closed for the season.

REMEDIAL READING Again this year remedial reading was available to Lower School cadets who need improvement in reading rate or comprehension. About twenty-five boys received help from Mrs. Kelly in word recognition, speech, comprehension, vocabulary, sounds of letters and syllabification. These cadets manifested considerable improvement which will increase their ability to give a better performance in all their academic work. SPEECH The Lower School speech department, under the direction of Mrs. Kelly, presented two main events during the year and provided the two readers Reising and Storer T., for the cantata given for the February program. The cantata "Abe Lincoln" was presented by Mr. Ibbotson and his "A" singing group. The Christmas program was given by all the members of the fifth and sixth grades. Boys who took part in the program were Bash, Baugh, Brothers, Berger, Clemen ts, Culver, Eberlin, Haberly, House, Rosenfeld, Strickler, Svetcos, Terrell, Thomas R. L., Thurber, Barnes, Betz, Boysel Brett, Edgett, Gariepy, Harding, Hill, Klope, Mason, Parkinson, Partridge, Storer W. and Williamson. Reising did all the art work and Storer W. acted as assistant director. Seventh and eighth graders were again e ligible for the annual spring contest in which medals are given for the best performance in dramatic and humorous declamation and oratory.

Klope, and Higley led the company at the ·year's end and were given permanent custody of the pennants. The Silent Drill Platoon was one of the maior attractions at Commencement. Membership in this exclusive group demands excellent coordination, rapid reflexes and an agile mind. The secret of the pattoon's silently coordinated and intricate drill patterns lies locked in Captain Metheany's files for the private use of future Company "L" experts. Days of effort went into preparation for Government Inspection. The redletter day arrived and the inspecting officers were generous in their praise of the company and the appearance of the barracks. The Lower thanks Mr. Schleicher and Mr. and Mrs. Haberly for the fine television set which has added to the enjoyment of the cadets; also the fine gift of a new cassock and cotta for one of the small acolytes by Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy was greatly appreciated. Mr. Carek added to the beauty of the front of White Hall with a gift of fine tulips which Cadets Carek and Seibold C. planted for the Lower. They will add beauty of color to the front of the Lower Building. So ends a very active and interesting year for the Lower. The faculty and staff wishes all a very happy Summer vacation and Fr. Jennings is looking forward to a newsy Family Letter telling all about your summer to be mailed as soon as possible after the first of August. Sent to Fr. E. T. Jennings, Howe, Ind.

Pictured above, are the cadets who supply the copy for the Howe Herald. Howe's weekly newspape r. Their efforts are purely extra-extra-curricular, and other than the honor of b eing on the staff, they go completely unrewarded.

Mr. Hellman, Faculty Adviser of the paper, took over the paper and with it a field that was entirely new to him. The Herald Staff receives a ll the criticism of the corps, hears little praise for its efforts, never-the-less puts out a good paper each and every w eek of the school year.

Mr. Tingley The Varsity letterman's club, known on the campus as the V.H.C., is one of the outstanding and most popular clubs on the campus. The club wm organized for the purpose of promoting a high standard of athletics and c!ern: sportsmanship and through the years this has been its constant goal. One of the club's main a chievements this year has been the securing o! ~ new club room which is located in the gym. The V.H.C. has been responsible for some of the highlights of the schoo vear. It sponsored a professional basketball exhibition and the county baske' ball tournament. The club has also remodeled the lower rooms in the gym ! dressing, training, and equipment rooms.

Without doubt, one of the most exclusive organizalions on the Howe Campus is Alpha Delta Tau, Howe's local honor society. The organization is composed of cadets who earn a 3.25 average and maintain it throughout the year. More than this. the cadet must have satisfactory conduct and military grades, loo. This year, under the leadership of President Burke, the organization set aside money for the unselfish purpose of providing the new building with color prints of famous masters. In what proved to be a successful attempt lo raise the academic standards of the school, the members took it upon themselves to assist other cadets who needed aid in their studies. Three members of the organization, Bruce Burke, Dave Hackett and Bob Hunter, were elected to the national honor society, Cum La ude.

Th's yaar, un ~er the lead':lrship of its commander, Bob Hunter, and Mr. Howard W. Downs, Faculty Adviser, the organization has emerged frorr relative obscurity as a real leader among campus groups. One of its greotes' achievements was the promotion of an annual clean-up day, which, with th! cooperation of the faculty and staff and the entire cadet corps, started to clear. the undeveloped areas of the campus, with the objective of building a memor· ial park. The affair was a remarkable success.

Beginning four years ago with seven members, Howe's chapter of the National Forensic League today has 115 members and 92 degrees. This year the Howe chapter is first in the state and among the top twelve in the nation. In the State Meets, Howe had six first place winners of which two go to the National Speech Meet in California. Howe also w on the Tri-State meel (Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin) this year. Two invitational meets were he ld at Howe this year when over 400 were present. Besides speaking at speech meets throughout the state, Howe men have spoken at service clubs in many cities. Special thanks go to Mr. Tucker , Howe 's speech coach, and all N.F.L members for making such an excellent record in speech this year for the school.

Pictured above are the members of Howe's troupe of the National Thespian Society. These students are the group which has, under the influence. of their faculty adviser, Mrs. Crichton, striven to advance the standards of excellence in all phases of the dramatic arts, and has worked to create an a::tive and intelligent interest in the dramatic arts among high school students. Membership in this organization is earned through participation in several plays or by playing an essential part in the production of a play. This year a play, "Thunder Rock", and an operetta, "H.M.S. Pinafore", were staged for the pleasure of the corps.

Howe received its Masque and Gavel charter from the national society in 1946. From an organization consisting of five members in 1946 it has grown 10 the size of 16 members. The purpose of the Masque and Gavel is to promote student achievemenl in all phases of speech. The requirements for membership are ve ry strict. A student must be one of the best speakers in the school and must receive a recommendation from his speech coach.

In most sections of the United States, the first Monday of September is set aside as a legal holiday in the interest of all workingmen of our country. However, to the 30 or more aspirants for positions on the 1950 Varsity football squad this was certainly no holiday as the squad began their annual morning and afternoon sessions each day until the opening of school one week later. Replacing the late Mr. E. L. Moore as head football coach were Captains Bill Cieri and Paul Henry, who received their physical education majors at Ethica College and the University of Wisconsin respectively. Having only two returning lettermen, co-captains John Nesbitt and Jerry Underwood, to form the nucleus of this year's starting 11, Coaches Cieri an.:i Henry were faced with the task of filling gaps opened in the squad by the graduation of lettermen. Before reviewing lhe season and the squad as a whole, one fa ct must b e emphasized and that is that figures don't always prove a good indication of what's done in a season by a team. In the case of the 1950 Varsity football squad the season ended with a two won, five lost season record. In spite of this

fact everyone agreed 1hat whether behind or ahead, the team always had the fighting spirit so impressive with Howe teams in any sport. Looking down through the roster of players we find at center, Bob Hunte and Dick Templeton, alternating on defense and o:fense respectively. At th. guard spots were John Nesbitt, Joe Rieth, George Dollas, and John Dixon, all whom played brilliantly when the chips were down. Scott Baird, "Herk' '\/\Tilson, and John Kerregan were standouts both on offense and defense in th tackle posilions. Mance Gillis and Cramer Partridge were the main targets for quarterback Allie Reynold's passes with Nick Stamas and Walt Ibbotson acting with sticky fingers when the need arose. Freshman Tom Popek was another man who was called upon to run th• team from the quarterback slot and his fine passing accounted for a majority c~ the Howe scores. Co-captain Jerry Underwood was the big bucker of the team running a• fullback and at the halfback spots were fleet Stan Loos, Jim Stewart, Chud Courim, Fred Galmish and Tom Cappas who gained their share of yardag· when they were called upon. The first game of the season was with South Bend Central Catholic and wu, played on Williams Field, home of the fighting Howe eleven. The final score was 13-'.} in favor of C. C. but a determined Howe team showed that they haa what it took as they made a successful goal-line stand late in the fourth period The following Saturday the team journeyed to Dwenger Park in Fort WaynE to meet Fort Wayne Central Catholic sixth ranked team in the state ana sporting a 4 won, 0 lost record at the time. Howe became the fifth victim to la .. before the Irish but nevertheless the team played a fine game against aver·. strong, more experienced team. · The annual battle with Goshen came a week later on the home gridiron and saw the Cadets drop their third game of the season. The center part of th Howe line played brilliantly but Goshen found end sweeps to their liking an] monopolized on that feature. Leaving at 6:00 A.M. the team journeyed to Onarga Military in Illinois and returned with their first victory of the season 18-7. Particularly impressive wa~ fleet halfback Stan Loos who scored all of Howe's three touchdowns, one o: them being a punt return. Morgan Park's Warriors met the Howe Cadets on the home grounds th? week after the Onarga victory and went home with a 26-6 victory. Howe didnt get rolling until the final period and then showed they could really play ball as Tom Popek threw the only touchdown pass of the day for Howe's only score. In the annual Founders' Day epic the Cadet eleven was matched agains: South Bend Catholic in a game which had the spectators wondering who would score next. Howe drew first blood as Stan Loos's punt return set up Fred Galmish's line buck for the tally. However, with South Bend scoring in every quarter, the game ended 38-20 in their favor. Passes by Howe and runs by South Bend featured the game. The final game of the season is one that will be remembered by all who saw it for years to come. An underdog Howe team showed what it had to defeat Concordia of Fort Wayne 12-6 in a game played again at Dwenger Park in drizzling rain. The entire cadet corps journeyed with the team to Fort Wayne and gave fine support throughout. Passes by Tom Popek accounted for both Howe scores which were set up by long runs by Stan Loos. This was definitely ihe outstanding game of the season. If any one player could be singled out as a man who gave inspiration to the whole team, it would be John Nesbitt. With his outstanding work on bolh oHense and defense and his unceasing spirit, he was a guiding light for the whole team who always seemed to shine the brightest in darkness.

Lack of height seemed to be the main handicap to this year's team, but ii was made up for in aggressiveness and sportsmanship. Four Seniors, Chuck Carlisle, Jim Kellett, Allie Reynolds, and Dan Neidballa, were what might be deemed Coach Davis' framework for the team. Tohn Kerregan and Pete Bouton were worked alternately at center, while Stan Loos, the seventh mern· ber of the team could be called on to play any position.

THE TEAM Chuck Carlisle, a first year man, was the team's leading scorer. In a Tanuary game against Orland he hit 24 points, the season's top effort for a !;ingle game. Chuck was the most aggressive man on the court and his spark· ling style of play and lightning ball handling will be sorely missed next year.

At the other guard spot was Jim Kellett playing his second year on the Varsity, With either a one or two-handed set shot from near mid-court, he was a consistent thorn in the side of opponents. At one forward was Allie Reynolds, another Senior, whose shifty style of olay, great rebounding, and jump shots caused a lot of trouble for the opposition.

Pan Neidballa was the other forward who specialized in push and jump shots when in the keyhole. He was another man Coach Davis used for rebounding. John Kerregan, at the center post. also did his share of rebounding and his favorite shot would be a jump shot. A Junior, he'll be back next year; the only one of the starting five who will return.

Peter Bouton alternated with Big John at center. Only a Freshman Pete possesses a wealth of height and basketball know-how, and will be an asset during the next three years. Stan Loos was the utility man on the 1950-51 Varsity squad being able t0 play any position. A consistent man when called upon, his favorite shot was a one-handed push from either side comer. He was an exceptionally good rebounder and could outiurnp anyone on the team. Three Freshmen dressei with the Varsity, Dick Neidballa, Tom Scott, and Tom Popek, and they all played well when called upon. THE RECORD

The Cadets opened the season against last year's county champs, Brigh. ton, and fell before the Wildcats by a close decision. The first win of the season came against Howe's next door neighbor, Lima, as the Cadets edged the Tigers, 48-44. After two straight losses to South Bend Central Catholic and then Concordia, the Howemen trounced Centerville, Michigan. After Christmas vacation the Cadets led by Chuck Carlisle, edged ou! Lima again 42-41. This victory was followed by a loss to Scott. In the county tournament the Cadets mauled the Monge Dragons 63-27 in their opening encounter but lost out to the county champs Shipshewana, 47-34 in their next game. After the county tournament the team journeyed to Oriana, only to return a loser by three points, 62-59. Morgan Park journeyed to Howe on January 20 and wrecked the Cadet hopes for a victory in the closing se:· onds as they won 49-48. After a three point loss to Ligonier the Howe men again hit the winning streak by nipping Cranbrook, 42-40. Losses to Shipshewana (62-55) and South Bend Catholic (56-42) were followed by a victory over Topeka's Bears, 59-43. The Howemen slipped by Mongo 52-50 before dropping their final two encounters to Fremont and Culver Military Academy. In the sectionals, played at Kendallville, the Howemen lost out in their first game to Albion, 41-39, in a game that was tight all the way. The season ended with a record of seven wins and fourteen losses. Ol the fourteen lost, seven were by less than seven points and in those games the breaks just didn't come our way. The season will not look spectacular in the record book, but to all those who watched the Cadets play the team was oul· standing in speed, aggressiveness and sportsmanship.

From a statislical standpoint, the wrestling season this year could have been much better, but as is often the case, numbers do not always tell the true story. Except in the first two weeks, the team was never working with all its members, and in several meets, six men, or more than half the team, were absenl. In spite of all this, the team made a gcod showing in l::oth improvement and spirit. In the ninety-five pound class, George Rogers, a Freshman, was the main contender. He won more than enough matches to make him a valuable man on the team, and potentially a fine wrestler in the remainder of his years at Howe. In the one hundred three pound class, Dave Steers made a fine showing, and like Rogers, he is only a Freshman.

Rog Jones, at one hundred twelve, kept his opponents plenty busy, winn!no !he majority of his matches. Team Captain, Tim Gomez, a lightning quick man on the switch, held th, one hundred twenty pound class under control. · Bill Hart, one hundred twenty-seven pounds, will be back next year lo spark plug the team again. Bill LaRa, a Senior in the one twenty-seven class was number one man in his weight. Probably the best wrestler on the team, weighing one forty-six, was Malcolm Wilson. Without a doubt he is the hard luck man on the team. Las! Year on the day before he was to go to the state wrestling matches, he developed appendicitis, and this year he injured his arm, and was out at the three quarler mark of the season. Two other men were out with body injuries . Nick Stamas, and Bob Hunter. Nick will be back next year, and Bob, a Senior, leaves this year. Another one hundred and forty-five pounder is Punchy Lloyd. Potentially a state winner, he will be one of the mainstays of the team next year. Jim Stewart and Joe vonSteinen both wrestled in the one fifty-four class, and both showed great improvement as the season proceeded. In the next higher weight one sixty-five, Johnny Nesbitt and Webster alter· nated both doing very well. Scott Baird, one seventy-five pounder, pulled the two matches that the team did win out of the bag with pins at just the right time. Scott also wrestled above his weight as heavy weight in several matches. The reserves who will compose next years team are: Newkirk.

Birch, Webster and

As you read the scores below, remember that a score 0£ 19 to 24 is very close in wrestling, and several meets were lost by just one match.

Howe's cindermen, coached by Mr. Kei1h Davis. are looking forward to the season this year optimistically. After 1he company 1rack meet it was realized by all tha11his year's team would be particularly weak in the field even ts. However, on the other hand, the team is exceptionally strong in the dashes and distance events . Mains1ay of the track team is versatile Stan Loos, who besides running his 100 and 220 yard dashes, broad jumping and high jumping, also is the anchor man on the half-mile relay team. Tim Gomez runs in the 440 yard dash, 100 yard dash, and also runs on either the mile or the half mile relay team. John DeBerry is the Howe miler and half-miler and also runs on the mile relay team. Pressing DeBerry hard in the half-mile is Walt Ibbotson, who has b eaten him this year. In ihe mile Gil G!aham and Tom Bainbridge add needed strength in

that de partment. Freshmen Tom Scott and Don Smith are two other men who perform in the half mile and both run on the mile relay team. The ha lf mil& relay team is composed of Russer!, Gomez, Malle tt, and Loos while the milo relay team is made up of DeBe~ry, Scott, Smith, and Gomez. In the hurdles both high and low, Reg Mallett holds the number one spot, followed by Nick Stamas and Don Smith. John Russert and Reg Malle tt are two other Howe dash men entered in ths 100 and 220 yard dashes. In the field events, John Nesbitt and Dick Temple ton are the mainstays for Howe in the shot-put while Case and Brown, P. G . are the two Howe pole vaulters. Besides Loos in the broad jump, Smith and Russer! are Coach Davis' other two performers while Stamas and Kerregan are the other men in the high jump. In the first meet of the season the cindermen did a respectable job as they beat Fremont, taking first places in all except the field events. Four days la ter the Howemen tasted defeat for the first time as they lost 10 Columbia City, the 1950 Northeastern Conference champions, 66 to 43. In this meet Stan Loos took first place in both the 100 yard dash and the broad iump while Tim Gomez took first in the 440. Also. Howe 's mile relay team took first place. Against Kendallville the Howe cindermen met defeat again to the tune of 65 2/ 3 to 43 113. Again Stan Loos took first in the 100 and 220, and also in the broad jump while Tim Gomez took first in the 440. John Nesbitt heaved the shot 39 feet to win that event, and Johnny DeBerry ran first in the half mile. The cindermen came up against the Garrett Railroade rs on April 19 and sent them home with a defeat as the Howe thinlies won 65 to 46. Howe took first place in a ll but four events. The Goshen Relays was the test for the Howe track team and they proved that they were going to be tough to b ea t as in a field of 21 schools the Cadets placed second to Warsaw. Stan Loos took the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet, 10 inches. However, the surprise of the day came when the Howe double medley relay team composed of DeBerry, Gomez, Scott, and Ibbo tson won that event. Also the cindermen took a second in the half-mile re lay, third in the sprint relay, and a third in the mile relay. The following Saturday the team journeyed to Kokomo to participate in the Kokomo Relays where they again did an exce llent job, placing fifth of the fourteen schools ente red. Stan Loos jumped 21 feet, 13/s inches to win the broad jump a nd also placed second in the 100 yard dash . Also Howe's 500 yard relay team came through with a vic tory as they won the 1,500 medley relay. The team is composed of DeBerry, Scott, Gomez, and Loos. In a track meet against Sturgis the cindermen came out on the short end of 56 Y2 to 52Y2 score. Although the Howqmen took first in the m ile, half-mile, 440 yard dash, the loss of both relays proved to be the deciding factor in the

I

I

I

meet. Worthy of notice is John Nesbitt who took first in the shot wilh a heave of 38 feet, 6 inches. In a triangular meet with Goshen and John Adams of South Bend the team came in third place against two of the strongest competitors for the Northwest Indiana State Track title. Stan Loos again took first place in his specialties, the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Also, John DeBerry took a se:::ond in both the mile and the half-mile. Against a track squad made up of the strongest men in .LaGrange county the Howemen again came through wilh a first place as they won 66 to 43. Individual accomplishments in lhis meet were not available at time of publication. However, it should be noted that this team was composed of the best men in each event in the entire county which goes to show that the Howe track team ls really going out of its class in competing against such s::::hools as Goshen, Columbia City and John Adams. The captain of this year's team is Stan Loos who for the past three years has been very active on the squad. He holds the school record in the broad jump and for the past two years has been the sectional champion in that event. This year he runs in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes, broad jumps and high jumps, and is a member of the half-mile relay team. Wilh the successes in the Goshen and Kokomo Relays the whole track team is looking forward expectantly to the state sectionals at Elkhart on May 11th. THE SCHEDULE

Roin hampered the Cadet basel::all squad early in the season and consequen1ly got the team off to a slow start after the first game rained out. Coach Connolly this year has a team which is inexperienced. However, there are quite a Iew underclassmen who received reserve letters last year and who are slowly, but surely, rounding into shape as both hitters and fielders. This year at the initial sack is lanky six foot Dan Niedballa, who is playing his first year on the Varsity squad. Journeying around the bases Tom Cappas is found at second, a reserve letter winner last year, who is known as the sparkplug of the infield for his constant chatter. Jim Kellett is at the ~hortstop position and Jerry Underwood rounds out the infield. Both of these p!ayers are returning lettermen and· give the infield needed experien::::e. Fred Galmish is

found camping out in center field with John Nesbitt in left and Dick Neidballa in right field. Allie Reynolds, a three year man, is Coach Connelly's choice for number one pitcher and captain of this year's team while Tom Popek is the receiver for Allie's pitches. Also out for the Varsity baseball squad are the following men who give the needed reserve strength necessary for any sport: Courim, Dollas, Grady, Hart and Weiss. The managers are Kellett, D. and Marsh. So far _the team has played three games after the first was rained out. In a game against Sturgis, the Howe men were shut out by an experienced team by the score of 6 to 0. In the next game against Orland the team met defeat again but showekl much improvement as the Orland Tigers defeated Howe 5 to 11 . Although with a one won. two lost record so far, the team has shown steady improvement and should be in lop shape for the game on Mother's Day with Middlebury. The Howe Reserves met the Sturgis Reserves on May 3 on the cadet diamond and behind the pitching of Jim Weiss came out on the winning end of a 6 to 3 score. The game was featured by a triple off the bat by Noel Grady which drove in three runs. Schedule April 20- Rome City, (H) . . ................. ... ............. . ... .

This year's Varsity tennis squad, coached by Mr. Crichton and captained by Cramer Partridge is looking forward to a successful season. Having three returning lettermen, Partridge, Kennedy, and Hackett, to form the nucleus o! lhe squad, this year should be an outstanding one in the tennis field. Also, there are many new men coming up from the intramural ranks who will help to strengthen the team in balance. Chuck Carlisle, the school tennis singles champion from last year, is playing in the number one posiiion. The remaining four men in the singles division, (in their respeciive order), are Partridge, Hackett, Kennedy, and Krueger. In the doubles, Carlisle and Partridge are in the number one slot while Hackett and Kennedy form the number two doubles team. Pressing the first five men for positions are McKee, J. C., McKee, J. R., Schurz, Merritt, Charnes, and Weida. So far one match has been played in which the team played Goshen. The final score ended in a tie, four matches for Howe and four for Goshen. Carlisle and Krueger won their single·s matche s, while Kennedy and Ha:::kett won their doubles match. With five more matches remaining, the racketmen have high hopes ol going through the season wiih an unbeaten record.

The second year for this sport at Howe proved a highly successful one, and showed that in time to come it will definitely become known as a major sport. Cross-country is one sport which perhaps requires more physical endurance than any other here at Howe and yet is the most colorless. Coach Davis, working with a squad of twelve members, found his mainstays in Co-captains John DeBerry and Tim Gomez; yet in this sport it isn't the team with the fastest man that wins. In cross-counry, team balance is esse ntial, and a good measure of the team's success resulted from the fifth and sixth place efforts of Reg Mallett, Dan Neidballa, Bill Hart. Gil Graham and others. The team ended the season with a two won and five lost record which is very respectable considering the opposition they ran against. In the sectionals held October 22, 1950 in Fort Wayne, John DeBerry placed seventh in a fie ld of one hundred or more harriers.

MR. and MRS. STUART HAGGERTY

Have you ever stopped to consider what a task it would be to feed three hundred people? We ·can assure you that it would be no easy iob, particularly when these three hundred are hungry cadets. The two people pictured above meet this problem three times a day, seven days a week, for thirty-six weeks each year. Mr. and Mrs. Hag:;rerty are here pictured as cadets seldom see ihem. Before them is some strange looking apparatus which, when operated by an expert, like either of them, will produce the very finest fabrics that can be made. Before these looms, Mr. and Mrs. Haggerty spend much of the short time that they h ave off between the preparing of food and the cleaning up after the meal is over. The Haggertys have been here for six years, and in that time, the food has become better and better, until this year. This year's food has been better than good, it has been excellent. So to you, Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Haggerty, praise where praise is due .
