THE SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS THE
* * HOWE :MILITARY SCHOOL* HOWE INDIANA
"These be the scenes in memory held dear Though seasons pass, the years may roll. Though time of strength take heavy toll These shall not fade, remaining ever clear." It is with this in mind that the Senior Class proudly presents the 1952 Taller.
The Senior Class of 1952 takes great pleasure in dedicating its yearbook to a man who has given twenty- three years of teaching, guidance and endeavor for the betterment of Howe School. To you then, Mr. Howard W. Downs, we dedicate the 1952 TATLER.

It was the year 1946. The Howe Happy Day School, a fashionable country resort founded to develop fine qualities in "twisted" young men, was nourishing. "Smiley" Bouton, noted authority on child guidance and monetary procurement, was sitting in his office, one fall day, when a great ruckus disturbed his reverie. Little did he know that the Howe Happy Day School was about to enter into its Era of Triumph. The first of the Class of 1952 had arrived. Outside the Administration Building stood a beaming, curly-headed little fellow, casually bashing the door down with a monstrous steel trunk. Yes, Tom Cappas was destined to become known as the illustrious "Great Big Man,'' and leader of the infamous "Syndicate." No sooner had this formidable cherub left for the Lower Barracks when the shaken advisor noticed a huge hulk passing beneath his window. Five minutes later, John Kerregan came into view, registered, sneezed, and left the smoldering ruins to follow Cappas. A few days later, Mr. Ibbotson arrived to take over the Chapel organ, followed closely by "Little '44," who immediately proceeded to snap pictures of the plush layout for a pictorial report to Life magazine. "Smiley", assisted by Activities Director Merritt, persuaded Ibby, Jr. to put away his camera and come to Howe. A few minutes later, a large silver space ship was seen settling to the earth behind the gym. It was Pete Rognlie, who had disowned the populace of Mars, and had decided to join the playboy roster at the Happy Day School. It wasn't long before Dave Kennedy and Bruce Powers appeared at the Ad Building, offering their tennis abilties in return for a six year vacation at the pleasant little country resort. Ed Sandford pulled up at the clubhouse after coming all the way from the Aragon Ballroom in Cleveland, accompanied by a servant who was lugging two trunks full of radio tubes, wires, and assorted nuts and bolts. In '47, three more promising young men, who were to be leaders among the elite arrived. Jack Haire, l 952's Major and ranking cadet, left the dynamic little town of Euclid, Ohio, to come to Howe, and John Russer! sprinted all the way from neighboring Elyria, followed by hordes of screaming women. George Lisle bolted from the Imperial Court in Tokyo when he read the alluring advertisements distributed by public relations. In the fall of 1948, "Bug" McCutcheon was passing through with a troupe of wandering minstrels when he noticed a happyi group of Happy Day boys leaving for a cruise in the Caribbean and decided to join them. He was greeted with outstretched palms along with Ted Chames, who had just been caught riding the rods of the Punkin Vine Special and thrown off. At this same time, "Scav" Jackson showed up with a guitar under one arm, and a jug of joy-juice under the other. "Scav's" dreams were realized in '52 when the Twilight Trio, the celebrated Howe pop combo, was organized, composed of "Scav", Dick Webster, and Sid Billett. The next to join the carefree gathering at the Howe Happy Day School was "Babe" Carlson, who was applying for the job of singing waiter. The "Babe" was the answer to Mr. Haggerty' s prayers, and the two became fast friends at once. In Flint, Michigan, Mother McKee noticed an ad in the papers requesting a jolly matron for the Battalion Staff, and hopped the first plane to our rapidly developing pleasure resort. promising, through a veil of tears, to write Jeanette every day. Seeking refuge from a lynching party, Nick Stamas ducked into the Q. M. Fifteen minutes later, Nick emerged with two cartons of stationery, sixteen boxes of talcum powder, and a dazzling new Howe uniform. In January of '49, Jim Putman stopped in while on a sight-seeing tour and was lured into staying by the striking campus scene and stimulating Indiana climate. On one fine fall afternoon in 1949 a scholarly looking young fellow
tripped over the Welcome mat outside "Smiley's" office, occupied with a ten foot sliderule and a large physics manual. Ever since then, Noel Grady has been trying to account scientifically for his enrollment a t Howe and eventual position of "First Man of 'B' Company". As Noel left the office, "Smiley" turned to find a grinning musclebound young man advancing toward him in the standard wrestling pose. Thinking quickly, "Smiley" parried with a pen and contract, and Joe van Steinen became a member of the Howe clique. Joe is now "A" Company commander and placed second in the state wrestling finals . Dick Webster, Pa ul Gallagher, and Bob Keasey read of the widely celebra te d Howe Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Leopold Lingkowski. and appeared just in time for the fal1 season at the Happy Dell shell. The last to show up in 1949 was Chuck Birch, fresh from the Brazilian jungles. The first to arrive in the fall of 1950 was "Carburetor" Keifer, who was representing a Dayton hot-rod repair firm. Keif didn' t succeed in "shackling" Big Jim's limousine, but was immediately assigned to the maintenance crew, headed by supervisor "Squeaky". Ed Breese and Bob Millager were the next to come, and after parking their Cadillac, moved into the "B" Company barracks . Dick Foster made the 230 mile jaunt from Euclid, Ohio, carrying a fly rod over his shoulde r and leading Clarence the Dragon on a leash. A few days later, Roy Me rcer clanked into the clubhouse reciting Macbeth, accompanied by "Byrd" Taylor. The "Byrd" went into "A" Company, and has become noted as a leading radical in current Happy Day political scandals . Lew Ehresman soon reached Howe after hiking for 60 days, and when he learned that Station H-0-W-E needed a new technician, he unpacked his knapsack and settled down to stay. The last to arrive in the fall of 50 was Reverend Jerry Jones, leading an overflowing congregation of converts. The deeply pious Jones sent his following on to Fort Wayne and marched onto the Howe campus searching for lost souls . At mid-year, Jim Match ett wandered in, and, as soon as he encountered Jack, he lost his long, flaxen locks to the inexorable barber's clippers. A loud blast of rhythmic accordion music preceded the coming of Sid Billett, who immediately compared notes with Webster and Jackson and the Twilight Trio was complete, and proceeded to develop its fine rnputation in the area. Activities Director Merrit t, doubling as scout, discovered "Big Jack" Williams in a Michigan basketball tournament and immediately signed him up to play for the Happy Day quint. Jack was an instant hit, and his nine feet of hoop talent were used to the greatest extent by the fabulous Coach Davis, who said, "This boy will make history!" Last fall, the last of the Class of 1952 made its appearance at Howe. While fleeing from Michael one day, "Smiley" ran into Mort Forster and Bill Phelps, who were hitch-hiking along Highway 9. "Smiley" picked the boys up, and before they knew it, they were duly enrolled members of the Howe Happy Day school. And so, the Class of 1952 was complete, and entered upon its last year a t Howe, intent upon establishing a creditable record, which they did, without a doubt. After several hundred words of jest and folly, we would like to add a few vestiges of serious thought. We, of the Class of 1952, would like to give thanks. We thank our parents, who gave us the opportunity to matriculate at Howe , a nd we thank the administration for bolstering our education so. We've had good hours, and we've had bad hours at Howe during the last six years, and we've loved every minute of those hours. It's been wonderful, Howe, and we don't enjoy leaving, but we know that we've been fully prepared to face the troubled world that exists today.

The Cadets of Company "L" can be very proud of themselves this year, because they have worked very hard throughout the year to improve. Cadet Captain Phares was an excellent company commander, and was aided by capable officers, Cadets First Lt. Metcalfe, Hemans, Carek and Cadet Second Lt. Thomas, R.E. The non-commissioned officers, Sergeants 1/c Edgett, Storer, W. and Sergeant Wood. W., were earnest in keeping their respective platoons in line, as did the squad leaders, Sergeants Fielding, R., Gore, Haberly, Weyand, Corporals Pereira, Arnold, Terrel, D., Barnes, Bancroft. The assistant squad leaders were Cadets Corporal Bailey, Davison, Brown, R. E., Malcheski, fielding, J. Boysel, Pierce, W.H. and Johnson, A. K.. all of whom did a commendable job. To keep the Company in proper cadence, platoon guides Sergeants Higley, Wade and Partridge did a job which can be called perfect. This year Government Inspection was a great success. Each cadet from the company commander down to the last private worked hard and with earnest effort to get the building and themselves in a "tip-top" condition. The reward was a "good job, well done" from the Inspecting Officers. Well deserving for their efforts, Cadet Corporal Pereira of "A" Barracks, Cadet Corporal Brown, R. E., of "B'' Barracks, and Cadet Private Longdyke of "C" Barracks won the room pennant, in their respective barracks, which was awarded by the Government Inspectors. The rooms were generally neat and clean. However, there were some cadets who kept their rooms in top condition day in and day out. In "C" Barracks Cadet Sergeant l/c Edgett, Sergeant Haberly and Cadet Private Longdyke got the nod for having the best rooms in "C" barracks for this year, whereas Corporals Brown, R. E.. Davison, and Barnes got the nod in "B'' Barracks. And in "A" Barracks, Bailey and Pereira took top honors. The interest this year, in the Crack Drill Squad, was terrific. Lieutenant Heap, the Asst. Tactical Officer, had 35 cadets to start with and after weeks of practice about 15 of the best cadets remained to form the squad. A well deserving hand to Lieutenant Heap and the cadets for their earnest and serious effort, which made this years Drill Squad, one of the finest on the campus. Furthermore, the Cadets of Company "L" can be very proud of the success and progress that was made throughout the year. A job well done! Varsity Sports
Football The ends were Carek, Bishop, Phares, Brown, Merrick; tackle positions were held by Hemans, Radake, Weyand, R.E., Thomas, J. Fielding, Grissom. Guards were Harding, Emshwiller, Hill, Pettine, Bancroft. The center was Storer W., who had more fight per pound than any other man. Our backfield was comprised of Gore, Cole, Malcheski, Reid J. This year we lost our first two games. The third game was with the Freshmen second s tring whom we defeated 14-6. Gore was chief ground gainer. Reid J. could outfake any linebacker. Tom Hemans led the forward wall of the line with sterling defensive p lay. . Basketball This year our team consisted of W. Wood, Carek, Bishop, Emshwiller, Higley, Phares, Merrick, Malcheski and Gore. W e lacked height this year, however our ball handling improved greatly throughout the entire season. High scoring seemed to rotate regularly among all members. Wood sparked the team and calm Carek kept them in balance. Although we lost more games than we won yet the players were never beaten till the last whistle.
Baseball Baseball play was favored by fine weather. We seemed to have an abundance of hitting power. Radake, Gore, Wood, Malcheski, Davison, Cole composed murderer's row. Scott Orwig, and Metcalfe divided the backstop job'. Carek and Emshwiller, both lefthanders, improved greatly as hurlers. Infielders were Harding, Malcheski, Cole, Bishop, Davison. Outfielders were Radake, Gore, Merrick, Wood, Bradstock. This year we have three sixth graders, Raymer, Arliskas, and Seeley, who can hit well. We lost the first game to Rome City, 16-15. Track Team

The Lower School track team this year, under the coaching of Mr. Randall, had a successful season, particularly in view of the fact that this is the first ~rear in several that a track team has been in existence in the Lower School. Those whose names were not included in the meets below were: Boysel, Brown R. E., Dryden, Eberlin, Gallagher, Noble, Pennrich, Porter J. W., Storer W., Wade, Baugh, Partridge, manager. The first meet was held against Middlebury at Howe, with Howe defeating the opposition 38-35. The meet was a close contest, with Phares, Radake, Malcheski, Bishop and Pereira excelling in the quarter mile race, high jump, 220 run, broad jump and the relay. Our second meet was a three way meet with Shipshewana and Middlebury. This was a very difficult meet with Shipshewana winning over Howe, although Howe managed to defeat Middlebury again by a good margin. The outstanding runners this day were Gore, Radake, Phares and Malcheski. The third meet was held with LaGrange. Howe walked away with the events, and everyone on the Howe team did well. The score was 60-41, with Phares, Gore, Merrick, Thomas, R. E. and Hemans contributing much to the team . Football Whites The Whites, coached by Mr. Randall, due to their lack of old players, lost all their games but they put up a stubborn resistance all through the season. Bailey was a strong lineman and Higley and Raymer sparked the backfield play. The members of the team were: Ends, Pierce and Porter; Tackles, Bailey and Beard; Guards, Sublett and McCall; Center, Burger R. and Backfield, Raymer, Higley, Bell, Bradstock and Fielding J. White Basketball The White Junior and Senior Basketball teams both won their division championship. The Juniors won theirs in a walk-a-way, winning by two games while the Seniors won theirs by a scant one game margin. The Junior's were a red hot ball club all season long. At the center post Mike Sublett filled the bill perfectly. Mike, although he is a Sixth Grader, is a towering six footeP who dumped in many a game winning basket. At the guard post's were John Raymer and Homer Bell. At the forward positions were Jim Porter, Tom Gallagher, Marshall McCall, Bob Burger and Mark Terrel. Johnny Strutzel and Mike Tharpe were pushing the first stringers all season long for a first string berth. The Seniors started the season badly, losing the first three games played. Then, Lt. Heap shook up the lineup by putting in boys who were sitting on the bench and changing some of the boys positions and the Seniors won the last four games to walk off with the championship. Torn Hemans was the team captain and center. At forward was Ron Bailey, Bob Fielding, Leon Merrick, Bill Pierce and Skip Bradstock. At guards the Whites had Bob Cole, Bill Noble, Jack Weyand, Bill Storer, Ronnie Brown, and Tom Grissom. White Softball Although the season is still in swing the White Softball team members are still fighting for a first string position or trying to hold the ones that they have
earned. Candidates for first base are: Tom Grisson, Tommy Hallberg and Homer Bell. A second base the Whites have peppery little Mike Tharpe. At short stop the captain elect Jack Weyand is directing the team. At the hotcorner Bill Noble and Bob Burger are fighting it out to make the first string. The outfield is still an undecided issue. The candidates are Pierce, Bailey, Schroeder, Sublett, Strutzel, McCall and Gaff. The Whites hold a two game edge over the Knicks. The pitcher for the Whites was Jimmy Higley while the catcher was Bob Wood or Gilbert Ross. The Whites also had a battery of brothers who alternate behind the bat or hurl- John and Bob Fielding. Knick Athletics This year the Knicks can be rightly proud of their accomplishments in both football and basketball. An undefeated season in football and the loss of the basketball championship only in a final overtime game testify to their ability and fighting spirit. Quarterback and playmaker this year was Kent Davison, an able ballhandler and dependable fie ld captain. His backfield mates were John Sproull at fullback, and Barry Rust, Bill Wade and Lee Boysel in the halfback positions. Scott Orwig, a latecomer , got out of difficulty repeatedly with his accurate kicking and passing. Bernie Williamson and Bruce Pennrich at the ends were key men on both offensive and defensive. Bill Burger, Jim Edgett, Gordon Baugh, Bill Barnes, Andy Arliskas, Ronnie Pereira and Dale Thomas made up our scrappy line. Special mention should be made of Barry Rust, the hardest tackler on the team; Dale Thomas, whose fighting spirit was an inspiration to the rest of the line; and Ronnie Pereira, a boy who, never having handled a football before, developed into one of our best linemen. The basketball turnout was large, with twenty-seven boys in both the Senior and Junior divisions, and there was talent to spare. Rust, Arliskas, Burger, Baugh, Roger Thomas, Wyn Rolle r!, Harry Eberlin, Dave Terrell saw action for the Juniors. Especially valuable were Harold Longdyke, a tough man on the backboards, Leonard Seeley, whose height and passing ability aided his teammates, and Skip Haberly, a capable center, accurate shot, and good team worker. This squad handicapped by inexperience, made a fine showing and displayed a fine mastery of fundamentals. The Seniors, sparked by Johnnie Radake, fought hard and clean all season. Ralph Harding, Nickie Pettine, Kent Davison, Bill Wade, Scott Orwig, Bernie Williamson and Mike Bancroft were heavy-duty players; and they were ably relieved by Kennie Ballinger, Jermry Hill, Bob Thomas, Dale Thomas, Bob Metcalfe, and John Sproull. The softball season promises to be a tough one. The Knicks are now trailing by two games, but with fresh talent and increased ability to aid them, they are confident of ultimate victory. Speech Interest in speech at the Lower ran high this year with the presentation of three main events. The Christmas program was given by members of the lower grades. The boys who participated were: Arliskas, Bancroft, Baugh, Beard, Bell, Bradstock, Brown, Burger R., Burger W., Davison, Eberlin, Edgett, Fielding J. , Gallagher, Haberly, Hallberg, Hoel, Longdike, McCall, Pettine, Porter, Raymer, Roller!, Ross, Rust, Schindler, Storer W., Sublett, Terrell M., Tharpe, Thomas R. E., Williamson, Merrick . Hill, Wade. For Washington's Birthday, a patriotic skit was given with the following boys taking the parts: Brown, Cappas, Cole, Davidson, Edgett, Fielding, R., Green, Hemans, Higley, Hill. Pennrich, Radake, Storer W., Weyand and Williamson. The main event of the year, the annual speech contest, was run a little differently this year. Try-outs were held as usual with Mr. Tucker atcing as

judge . Then semi-finals were held the Sunday before Mothers' Day and finals Mothers' Day week-end. The boys who tried for the medals were Bancroft Brown, Hill, Pettine, Storer W. a:o.d Thomas R. E. in Oratory; Davison, Edgett'. Hemans, Higley, Pennrich, Wade, and Weyand in Dramatic; and Arnold, Cappas, Fielding R., Grisson, Hallberg, Noble, Orwig, and Pereira in Humorous. Art Classes An enjoyable period for self-expression and an outlet for creative ability was furnished by art classes conducted as part of the winter program. Emphasis was placed upon appreciation of art in everyday life and the suitability of various media to the type of project chosen. Each cadet was encouraged to select his own project and develop it according to his own tastes . Types of projects chosen, besides drawing and painting, were clay modelling, braiding, weaving, and the decoration and finishing of wooden articles such as serving trays, book ends, bowls, rings, salt anrl pepper shakers, trinket boxes, and wall plaques. Mrs. Slater did a fine job. Mention should be made of the fine work done by Cadets Bailey, Eberlin, Bancroft, Rust, and Thomas D., a lthough with so much interest and ability shown it is difficult to choose the most .outstanding. Handcraft A great deal was done by the cadets in the craft shop this year. The shop was in constant use especially during the winter months. As usual, airplane models held the most interest although some excellent ship and railroad models were completed. Cadets Hemans and Thomas D. did some excellent work. Gifts The Lower School was the recipient of several generous gifts during the year. The Mothers' Club made a very nice contribution for the beautification of the Living Room . Mr. and Mrs. Edgett had upholstered the davenport in the Living Room and Mr. and Mrs. Schindler presented a pool table which the Fifth and Sixth Graders enjoyed very much. Lucien Gilkey, an old Lower boy, gave money for the purchase of a new cotta and cassock for the small acolytes. All these g ifts have added greatly to a happy year at the Lower and th e Lower thanks these donors very much. Spring Dance
The Mothers' Day Dance, sponsored by the Eighth Grade, highlighted the social activities of the year. Most of the cadets had dates and excellent music was lurnished by the Blue Notes of LaGrange. A Hawaiian garden was the decorative motif. After the dance all the dancers enjoyed the Mothers' Club buffet supper at McKenzie Hall. The Choir As this is being written, the school year is drawing to a close. Looking back to last September we find, for one reason or another, a very smal1 percentage of the 1950-51 choir are members of the choir now. With so many new faces in the choir one can but compliment them on their fine progress in singing which developed as the weeks went by. The highlight of the year was the singing of the Sacred Cantata, "The Crucifixion" by Stainer on Passion Sunday. In this the choir was assisted by Mr. Alfred Emory, baritone and Mr. Robert E. Anderson, tenor, both of South Bend. The Easter Sunday Music was especially well done. Trips were made to sing in Trinity Church, Ft. Wayne and St. James Church South Bend. The following are the choir members appearing in the Choir picture to be found elsewhere in the Taller. Sopranos--Arliskas, Bancroft, Baugh, Beard Brown, Davison, E. Edgett, Gallagher, Haberly, Noble, Partridge, Porter, Schind-
]er, Storer W., Terrel M., Tharpe, Thomas R. E., Womer; Altos, Russell, Seibold
C., Kimbrough; tenors, Mr. Kimball Jones, Seibold F., Case and Jackson J. A.; Basses, Mr. Cunningham, Coleman, Campbell, Smock, Schurz, Shuman. Organist-Choir Director, Ernest M. Ibbotson, M.B., F.A.G.O .
The
Hallowe'en
One of the red letler days is Hallowe'en. The living room was decorated with goblins, black cats and everything to give it a ghostly atmosphere. The cadets and the many guests enjoyed the parade of costumes and many games during the evening, Two witches were on hand to reveal the future and the refreshments made a hit with the crowd. Christmas Party
Of course Santa Clauses' visit is always looked forward to . Mrs. Miller with the help of Santa, selected the presents. The living room was gaily decorated by Mr. Downs and Mr. Rice. After a very pleasing Christmas program of carols under Mr. Ibbotson's direction and fine recitations by the cadets, under the able direction of Mrs. Kelly, Santa came to give all present their gifts. This included the campus children and their parents. Refreshments supervised by Mr. and Mrs. Rice and the faculty closed the celebration. Of course there was a racing period in the gym given over to the racing car gifts. The annual wheel ride went off in fine style beginning with the early rising, breakfast at the Kingsbury House, arriving at Orland , a stop for refreshments, from the drug store. Then the cadets, Pennrich, Emshwiller, Noble, Thomas D., Higley, Phares, Pierce, Weyand, Thomas R., Bishop, Wood, Grissom, Sproul, Bailey, Metcalfe, Seniors, Kerrigan and Cappas, Mr. Downs and Fr. Jennings went on their weary way to Pokagon Park near Angola. A delicious lunch was served in the woods on arrival. Then came softball. After this some went horse back riding, others went swimming. After the wand~!fings and fun there was a dinner served on the porch of the Potowatomi Inn, facing the Lake. After the show, the faculty members who had arrived for dinner, drove the boys home and they were surely ready for their beds. The bicycles were returned by Fred Kilpatrick, who has been doing this almost since the inception of the bike ride. Honor Society- Beta Lambda Sigma
The old members of the Honorary Society were S torer W. and Edgett. Members in course were Davison and Brown. Pereira was initiated as an Eighth Grader and will receive his diploma in June. The boys went to the Shrine Circus and had other dinners during the year. This is the highest academic honor the Lower offers. Mr. Downs is sponsor and Fr. Jennings is an Honorary Member. Acolytes
Under the leadersh ip of Thomas R. E., and Phares, the acoly tes served each morning at 6:1 5 A .M. Wednesdays, Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays. The head servers helped the new boys to serve efficiently. During Lent, Fr. Jennings had a Meditation every Friday and the whole group attended each Wednesday and Friday during Lent. The boys have enjoyed breakfasts at the Kingsbury and saw the Operetta a t Lima High School. They were helpful in leading the student group by example to break last year's record in the Mite Boxes so it reached $1 19.00. The members of the acolyte group are Hemans, Thomas R. L., Bancroft, Radake, Arnold, Grissom, Partridge, Hill. Educational Movies
There was a wonderful lis t of educational movies to augment the academic· program as well as to enrich the religious program. Also each month there was a special classic feature. Much use was made especially in Arithmetic of
the gift of the Lower Class of 1951 films slides. The movie operator who was most faithful was Thomas. New York Times historical film slides were received once a month. Varsity "L" Club
Mr. Cone sponsored the club which was made up of all the Lower Varsity letter winners. McKenzie Litera ry Society
The McKenzie Literary Society had a fine year under the leadership of the following officers: President, Hemans; Vice-President, Phares; Secretary, Cadet Higley; Treasurer, Cadet Carek and Parliamentarian, Cadet Pennrich. Among the highlights of the various programs were the feature movie given by Mr. Bernie Payne '13, lhe radio play with sound effects "The Black Arrow" by Stevenson. Also the biggest feature was the art lecture on oil painting given by Stan Barrett, an old member of the Society, and a member of class of 1927. He painted Cadet Phares and talked to the Society, explaining each step as he painted. Todd Literary Society
·...-
The Todd Literary Society had a good year. The programs were varied and interesting and a great deal of talent was discovered among its members. At the Carnival the Todd won second place in the best decorated booth contest, thanks largely to the efforts of Haberly, Terrell D., Burger W., Strutzel, Tharpe Gallagher and Gallagher's parents, who provided the booth with a large supply of balloons. The society helped provide some good movies and sent a contribution to Boys Town. The offfcers who ably directed the socie ty this year were President Haberly; Vice-President, Terrell D.; Secretary, Arliskas; Treasurer, Bell; and Sergeant-at-Arms, Fielding J. The final meeting was the usual pie feed at the home of Mrs. Kelly. Social Events
Mrs. Miller has arranged many birthday parties for the cadets: Arliskas, Baugh, Bancroft, Bell, Fielding, Gallagher, Grissom, Hoel, Partridge, Ross, Schindler, Storer W., Struzel, Sublett Terrell D., Williamson. Edgett, through lhe kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Edgett, had a party for the whole school, consisting of special made cakes, grape punch and ice cream. Picnic
The Lower School Picnic was held at Cedar Lake. The morning was spent in boating, canoeing, swimming and, most of all, turtle hunting. After a lunch of hamburgers and the trimmings various races were run. At four o'clock the busses appeared and a lired, sunburned but happy group headed for home. HGwe Hernld
" ,.
The Lower School Herald Staff under the direction of Mrs. Downs is made up of six Eighth Graders, Bill Noble, James Higley, Ronald Pereira, Bruce Pennrich, Jack Weyand and Robert Thomas and one Sixth Grader, Paul Haberly . Each week these boys have written the news of the north end of the Campus. Lt. Bob Heap has acted as Sports editor. This year the Staff joined the Upper School al a banquet and movie in LaGrange. The Library
The Library was a very popular spot at the Lower this year. Mrs. Kelly and her assistants, Fielding R., Thomas R. E., and Weyand report that the classics were more widely read this year than ever before. The American Adventure Series was also very popular and animal stories. The Lower wishes to lhank Fr. Jennings, Dr. and Mrs. Schindler, Mr. a nd Mrs. Steers and the many cadets who donated so generously to th e Library.
Miscellaneous The opening social event was a hike to Mr. May's farm where the boys had a royal feast of watermelons and cantaloupes. This has been a tradition the opening Sunday for many years . Other activities were boxing coached by Capt. Cisowki, and tumbling coached by Fr. Jennings and trampolin coached by Mr. Cone. Each cadet is required to attend each of these activities for a two weeks' period. Academic The Lower took the cooperative tes ts and the Seventh and Eighth Grades took the Secondary Board tests in arithmetic . The Eighth Graders took the High School Entrance Test, too. On Mothers' Day many projects in all subjects were on exhibition. Many Reward Of Merit or Honor Cards were given. Cards given to a cadet for making an "A" in any academic subject were earned by a large number of cadets this year. Cadets who earned this year were Burger R. and Marshall McCall in the Grade; Arliskas, Bell, Burger W., Fielding J.. Haberly, and Terell D. of the Sixth Grade; Brown R. E., Edgett, Pettine, Storer W., and Wade of the Seventh Grade; Bailey, Hemans, Noble Pereira, and Thomas R. E. of the Eighth Grade. · This year for the first time the Lower School cadets were able to earn Honor Cards which the Upper School receives by having no grade below "B'' and an "A" conduct average. It began the fifth school period. This review of the activities of the Lower for the year 1951 -52 brings to light the fun that the boys and the faculty have during the year. REMEMBER about writing a newsy le tter to Fr. J Jennings all about your summer activities. See that it reaches Fr. Jennings, Howe, Indiana by the FIRST OF AUGUST. Then you will receive the FAMILY LETTER te lling about all your activities of the summer so all can read it. A most happy and profitable vacation is the wish of the Principal and all the Staff of the Lower.
Howe, Alma Mater, loyal sons we stand To pledge our love to thee with heart and hand Faithful are we throughout this life 'till death We'll sing thy praises with out latest breath. Thy love so kind hath led us in the past. In thy fair walls our happy lot was cast, And day by day as down life's path we trod Thy wholesome guidance brought us nearer God. Now year by year as we our way pursue, Recall to us thy teaching ever true. Refresh us d·a ily wheresoe'er we be, All through this life we gladly look to thee. Once more before thine altar low we bend, Pledging our deep devotion without end, He·ar thy true sons as joyous voice we raise. Howe Alma Mater, Thine be all our praise.

The 1951-52 Howe band was one of the finest seen on the school campus in many years. Ably led by Bandmaster Capt. Ling, and Cadet Lieutenant Webster, the band played well at all school parade ceremonies, and appeared al the basketball games in force. In early April , this organization presented its annual symphonic concert, which was received with deep appreciation by all present.

This year's Herald staff produced a top-notch weekly throughout the year. Mr. Hellman and Mr. Cunningham were faculty advisors, and Clark McCutcheon worked as Editor-in-Chief. Staff efforts are purely extra-curricular and this year's roster of reporters did a superb iob of recording current campus events for the Corps, patrons, and alumni. Sorely needed extra time was voluntarily given, but valuable experience was gained and each Herald man enjoyed his work immensely.

The primary goal of the VHC is to build a high standard of athletics and clean sportsmanship at Howe Military School. The club originated all its plans and activities from its new clubroom in the gymnasium. This beautiful clubroom was planned many years ago, and represents much hard work on the part of e very member, past a n d present. The Varsity "H'' Club sponsored the LaGrange County Basketball Tournament in February, playing host to many fine hoop teams. In the spring, the members and their dates enjoyed the annual picnic and hayride.

One of the best organizations on the Howe campus is the Alpha Delta Tau, Howe's local h onor society. To become a member, a cadet must earn three honor cards in succession. After he has passed the vote of the club, he goes through the formal initiation. A member must maintain a 3.25 point average and have satisfactory conduct and military grades throughout the year. The members, as one of their projects, endeavor to help those whose grades a re below average.

The Old Guard, an organization composed of cadets and faculty with four or more years of service, has continued to grow as a leader among the various organizations. The activities the Old Guard has undertaken include one project for every month of the year. All will remember the introduction of new and old cadets at a steak roast in September, the colorful Christmas trees that decorated the campus, the Old Guard Dance, and the informing notes in St. James' Chapel on Mother's Day. The continuation of the Old Guard's five year project of turning the swamp area into a Memorial Park for the dead of the two World Wars was carried out with great success. Next year the Old Guard hopes to move in the bulldozers.
Beta Lambda Sigma is the Honor Society of the Lower School. Membership in the society is restricted to those cadets maintaining a very high scholastic record. Full membership is reserved for cadets in the Eighth Grade. Cadets in the lower grades may be associate members only.

The purpose of the Radio Club is to promote interest in radio, and to make ready those who would seek to hold an amateur license. Weekly meetings are held, and each cadet brings up topics which are of general interest to other radio club members. This year new and better equipment has been given to the club by a patron, and has stimulated interest in the mechanics of radio.
A two year old organization, the Camera Club, has done much to promote interest in photography among the cadets. The darkroom is always available lo those cadets who wish lo print and develop their shots, and lhe modern equipment and instruments make it all the more attractive for those cadets not yet in the club.

To gain admission to this organization, one must participate in two plays, or one play and satisfactory speech work, as determined by Speech Coach Tucker, plus, of course, informal and formal initiation ceremonies. Comus Club considers both active roles and behind-the-scenes work valid participation in a play. This organization produced two hits this year. The hard hitting "Command Decision" was presented in the late fall, and during the spring season, Mothers' Day celebrants witnessed the hilarious Gilbert and Sullivan "The Mikado". Mrs. William Bell took over the duties of faculty advisor this year and did a splendid job.

The purpose of the Thespian Society is to create an active interest in the dramatics arts, and to simulate intelligent understanding among high school students. Admittance into the organization is hard to attain in that the requirements are rigid. Thespian comes from the name of the great Greek actor, Thespac, and the insignia of the club, a smiling and a frowning face, symbolizes the two sides of drama, tragedy and comedy. The foundation of the club is based on the seven steps in drama.

Howe tied for first place in the Freshman-Sophomore Debate Tournamen t held at Howe on May 3. Individual honors were awarded to Seibold, F. at Indiana State and Salem. The Debate Team was under the coaching of Mr. James B. Jenning~ .
MOTHERS' DAY WEEK-END
Mothers' Day Week-End brought a thrilling round of activities and a large crowd of visitors to the campus. Perhaps the presentation of "The Mikado" was the outstanding event although parades, ath letic events, chape l services and the military ba ll were all greatly enjoyed bo th by cadets and visitors.

On the second of September, the three months empty Howe campus suddenly awoke as a brawny, summered group of Varsity football candidates returned for a week of rigorous conditioning prior to the opening of school ... and the 1951 grid season. Frank Connolly, who was initiating his first year as head football coach, and assistant Vaughn Snook proceeded to organize this motley crew into a toughened machine that went on to win six straight games, only to lose its Founders' Day finale. After four years of the "T'', the Howe offense put into effect a powerful running and passing attack under the single wing formation. MEN OF PRESTIGE
Heading the Cadet attack was Senior Tom Cappas, the team captain and quarterback, whose play pointed a flawless picture of solid leadership, spirit and know-how. Sophomore Tom Popek bore the brunt of the team's punting and passing from his fullback position, and improved steadily throughout the seven game schedule. At the offensive halves were Russer! and Smith. Smith, another Sophomore, aided the squad considerably through his aggressive play,
and Russer! fitted the single wing set-up well, as he was probably lhe team's hardest and fastest runner. The season's defensive halves were Grady, Haire, and Jones, S, all Seniors, and all intramural products. Haire was, perhaps, the team's most improved ball player by the end of the season, and started the last two games. Grady was the finest open field tackler on the field, and Jones helped to break up many opposing passing assaults. At center was Chuck Courim, a Junior, who played heads up ball all the way. Spelling him on defense was Dennis McLaughlin, who can be readily termed the team's "granite block." Blocking three kicks at crucial points throughout the season, Denny was a mainstay in the Howe defense, and should help out a lot next year. Spirited, dependable George Dallas played his second year of Varsity ball at one guard post, and Earle von Steinen, who was the most underrated boy on the squad, did a splendid job at the other. Only lack of weight kept spunky Dick Foster from playing sixty minute football. This Senior alternated at guard and tackle and helped out a great deal. Senior John Kerregan will be sorely missed at tackle next year after four seasons of Varsity ball, but Fred Galmish will be back. Galmish's tough, inspiring play sparked many a victory on Williams Field and he will be duly appreciated again next year. Seeing the most action at the flanks were ends Stamas, Taylor and Bouton. Stamas, was generally considered the team's best offensive lineman. It was Nick's ruthless downfield blocking that made possible many long offensive gains throughout the slate. "Toe" Taylor was a fine pass receiver and kicked the extra points all season. Bouton, a Sophomore, played quite a bit, and hinted to cadet speculators that he would really be heard from in the next two years. It was the Reserves who readied the starting men for each week's contest and replaced the weary gladiators when the need arose. Webster, Duley, Reith, Brown, PG., Lloyd, Oberlin, Seager, Sandford and Maier are to be commended for jobs well done.

WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISHED Six of the seven games played last fall were staged on Howe's Williams Field. A sizeable crowd was on hand on opening day, Sept. 22, to see how Coaches Connolly and Snook's proteges had developed. The Howe gridders made his debut a successful one as Onarga Military Academy, of Illinois, was the first to fall before a six game victory skein, as Popek's arm and Husserl's legs combined to produce a 12-7 Cadet triumph. On the succeeding Friday, the Howemen battled a surprisingly reverse-pass play, but, never-the-less blanked a highly touted White Pigeon (Mich.) squad with a 13-0 score. Once again, the Husserl-Popek duo accounted for the Howe chalkmarks. Another 13-0 count prevailed October 6th as the "Whiz Kids" battered St. Mary's of Michigan City. The scoring was done in the second half. John Russert electrified the spectators as he look a handoff from Smith on the second half kickoff and reversed his field, trotting 80 yards to the St. Mary 2 yard line, where Popek went over for the touchdown. Jerry Jones intercepted a pass later in the half and went all the way to score. South Bend Central Catholic came to Howe the following week in an attempt to break up the Cadet streak, but only succeeded in becoming victim number four. Popek, Cappas, Smith and Russer! accounted for the TD's as the Indians went home on the short end of a 27-6 count. The entire Cadet Corps travelled to Nappanee to see the sole road game of the season, and watched Popek and Russer! score in a 12-2 thriller. The Bulldogs led at halftime, via a second quarter safety, but the Cadets awoke in time to tear away their fifth conquest. Next on the schedule was Catholic High of South Bend. This game was the most one-sided affair of the season, as the Howemen crushed a disheartened
Lion eleven, 39-7. Tom Popek ran for three touchdowns during the first half, one of them a 60 yard jaunt and Cappas, Haire, and McLaughlin scored the other three in the second half, with Haire returning a punt 55 yards to paydirt. Thus, with six wins and no losses in -their poke, the Cadets faced a formidable Concordia team of Fort Wayne in the annual Founders' Day grid epic, and the last game of the season. A large, thoroughly chilled crowd of weekend celebrants watched the Concordians break 290 Cade t hearts as they eked out a 14-6 victory. Don Smith went over tackle to score the only Howe counter early in the game and the opponents tallied two quick ones before halftime. From then on, it was strictly a battle of endurance, without score, as a cutting, snowladen wind, descended upon the field of combatants. Despite this jabbing disappointment, the team ended its season with one of the best records of play established a t Howe in years. Only such a team as this could play such a season of football and only a duo like Coaches Connelly and Snook could shape such a team's .destiny. Yes, the 1951 Howe Varsity football team WAS a great team .... .... . one which won't be forgotten around the Howe campus for years to come.

The 1951 -52 basketball squad, coached again by Mr. Keith Davis, did not establish a stunning record of wins and losses, but did succeed in manifesting a show of drive and spirit throughout the season. With two returning lettermen from the preceding campaign, Coach Davis had to build his team mainly from last year's Reserve squad, and by County Tourney time, he had a fairly rugged outfit shaped. This year was a building season for Mr. Davis, and with four starting Sophomores and two important Juniors from this slate, Howe should boast a winning quintet in the next two seasons.
THE TEAM At center was Senior John Kerregan, team captain, who was one of the returning regulars from last year's team . At 6'1'', "Big John" accomplished a majority of the squad's rebounding, and was among the top scorers. Sophomore Pete Bouton, the other letterman of '51, played a regular forward position throughout the season, and was the top scorer of the year. Pete made the team's top individual scoring effort with a resounding 27 points in the South Bend Catholic game. Dick Neidballa, another Sophomore who will figure

heavily in Coach Davis's future hoop plans, directed the team play from his starting guard slot, and improved consistently in ball-handling. Junior forward Mike Lynch began the season with the Reserves, but quickly climbed the ladder and by the end of the season, was playing regular Varsity ball. Jim Weiss, another Junior, helped the squad considerably from his forward position with a dependable display of speed and versatility. Sophomore Don Smith came up from last year's Freshman team to cop a starting spot, and sparked the play continually with his sparkling spirit. Sophomore Tom Popek did a very respectable job at guard and his passing set up many figues in the Howe scoring column. Jack Williams, a Senior who didn' t become eligible to play until early February, was a great help during his short stint on the court. Jack's 6'4" of know-how boosted the squad considerably at the Sectionals. Dick Taylor, another Senior who will be gone next year, was an intramural product, and, though he didn't see much action, his spirit and patter encouraged the boys a great deal.
HOW THEY FARED
The team opened its season on Nov. 21st against the ever-po lent Brighton quint. Jim Robbins was the key man as the Wildcats smashed Kaydet opener hopes with a 36-28 triumph. Lima was the next to floor the Howe squad, as our neighbors salvaged a 40-33 win. LaGrange and Garrett added to Kaydet woes, but, after a win-starved four game losing streak, the home five suddenly awoke as we edged South Bend Central Catholic by a 31-28 score. Concordia overpowered Howe, 50-23 . but the Howemen jumped right back to blast a hapless Centerville (Mich.) squad by 60-41. The campus scene began to perk up as the cagers downed Scott and avenged their previous loss to Lima with a 48-29 decision over that team. County Tournament time invaded the scene, and once again, the Howe gym was 1he center of activity. The Kaydets lost their opening game to Topeka by a heart-breaking 38-37 count, and Shipshewana went on to win the championship. Howe then travelled to Chicago to meet Morgan Park and absorbed a painful 58-40 thumping. Ligonier and Shipshewana each downed the Davismen, but their other South Bend adversary, Catholic High, fell victim to a 60-40 swamping, with Pete Bouton scoring his ;record making 27 markers. With "Big Jack" Williams eligible to play, the team proceeded to romp over Topeka and shaded a tough Orland five, 48-42. Steuben County champs Fremont conquered the Kaydets by 55-40, and Culver and Goshen followed with decisive wins, and the regular season was over. The Kaydets went to Kendallville to participate in the Sectional Tourney, and won their first game against Topeka with a 58-45 victory. The host team, however, beat us 57-45, and went on to win the tournament.

Coached by Mr. Kelly and captained by Nick Stamas, the 1951 -1952 wrestling squad made a good impression even though the statistics show four wins and six losses. The team will lose only four Seniors, and should make a better record next year. Howe placed nine men in the Sectionals, and two of these went to the stale finals at Lafayette. Diminutive Tim Marsh, who won a second place in the Sectionals, racked up 39 poin ts in the 95 lb. division, and being a Sophomore, should accomplish a great deal in the next two years. Bill Hart went onto the mat a t 120 pounds, and placed third at the Sectional meet. Senior George Lisle, who garnered a four th in the Sectionals, wrestled dependably in the 128 lb. class. Roy Mercer, another Senior, wrestled at 138 pounds until he was forced to withdraw from
competition halfway through the season because of an operation. "Punchy" Lloyd was another stalwart and placed second in the Sectionals in the 145 lb. division. Senior Joe von Steinen, besides being the team's top scorer, won a first in the Sectionals and went on to place second in the state finals in the 154 lb. weight class. Denny McLaughlin, at 165 pounds might well have gone further ha d he not injured his hand at the beginning of the Sectional meet, where he took a fourth place. Team captain Nick Stamas, the other Howe stale finalist, took a first in the Sectionals and a four th in the state finals in the 178 lb. class against extremely stiff competition. Freshman Tony Corrado was the surprise of the season as his talents suddenly took form at the Sectionals as he placed second, in the Heavyweight division. Dave Steers, in the 112 pound class, earned a fourth place in the Sectionals, and did a good job throughout the season. The other boys who will bolster next year's squad are Beckley, Rogers, Kerr, Hinckley, Green, Schurz, Smock and Denton. Below is a listing of the meet scores.

The 1952 Varsity track team, coached, once again, by Mr. Keith Davis, with the assistance of Mr. Vaughn Snook, put forth a respectable effort, but was missing a lot of its old power. The biggest loss to Howe cinder hopes was Stan Loos, who graduated in '51, after placing second in the state broad jump finals. It is to be noted that Indiana high schools are not athletically classified according to size; thus, Loos was competing against the cream of every district in the state. Loos holds the school broad jump record with a distance of 22' %", and established the regional record in this event in 1950. The absence of Loos, coupled with the loss of '51 grads DeBerry, Gomez, Mallett, and last year's top 440 man, Tom Scott, who did not return to school, dealt a painful blow to this year's prospects. John Russert, 1952 team captain and high point man, ran the 100 and 220 yard dashes, along with Keith Duley and Jim Weiss. Russer! and Duley also represented Howe in the shot put event. Duley hurled the iron sphere 4·2· 3" in the Culver meet and should accomplish a good deal next year as a Senior.
Smith, Bainbridge, Bouton, Ibbotson, and Case ran the 440, and, in the 880 yard run, Ibbotson was top dog, with Case and Swanson backing him up. Bob Case ran first man in the mile with Ibbotson and Swanson right behind him. Swanson, a Freshman, improved consistently in the distance races, and should develop well. Juniors Phil Brown and George Longwell ran the high and low hurdles for Howe. The rules have b een changed in this year's low hurdles event, limiting the distance from 200 to 180 yards in length. The Howe half-mile relay team was composed of Russer!, Duley, Schleicher, Longwell, and Weiss, while distance men Smith, Bainbridge, Bouton, Case, and Ibbotson ran the mile relay. Freshman Ken Schleicher number one broad iump man, leaped 19' 1%" in the county meet. and, along with Don Smith, should develop well in the next few years. Stamas was the first Howe man in the high jump and pole vault. Weiss and Smith also high jumped and Brown and Case competed in the pole vault. Following is a tabulation of the team's 1952 record. A few Howe men travelled to the Goshen Relays on April 19th, but Walt Ibbotson was the only one to place as he captured a fourth in the 880 yard run. On May 10th, Howe was represented at the sectional track meet as Keith Duley placed fourth in the shot put, and Don Smith copped a fourth in the broad jump event.

Coached this year by Mr. Kimball Jones, the Varsity tennis team was forme d and maintained on a purely competitive process. The team consisted of a ten man "ladder" which was formed by an elimination tournament prior to the regular season. Throughout the season, varsity men were challenged and positions on the team switched around quite a bit. This way Varsity players were constantly kept on their toes and a ll around morale was maintained. As the Taller went to press Pete Rognlie was No. 1 man by virtue of his winning the pre-season tourney; with Mike Lynch p laying number two. Pete Bouton was number three, team captain Dave Kennedy four, and Tom Merrill five. George Weida played number six man, C lark McCutcheon was seven, and Bruce Powers was eighth on the "ladder." Freshmen John Wheelock and Henry Kerr played nine and ten on the team and gained valuable experience which will prove useful in years to come . To date, the netmen have won one match against Coldwater, but lost against Culver and South Side of Fort Wayne. Remaining on a tentative schedule are matches with Culver and Goshen. ·

With four wins taken from a seven meet schedule, the 1951 Howe Cross Country team established a respectable season's record for its third year of competition in the sport. Co-Captained by Senior Roy Mercer and Junior Bill Hart, and coached by Mr. Keith Davis, the '51 harriers produced seven letter winners, only three of whom will graduate this June. Sophomore Bob Case established the best time of the season in the Goshen-Kendallville meet, at Kendallville, when he finished the gruelling two mile course in 10:46. Hart, Mercer, Case, and Weiss formed the team driving wheel, but the other three monogram recipients, Ibbotson, Bainbridge, and Breese picked up many valuable points throughout the slate. Prospects are bright for the 1952 season when four vital men and a crop of willing reserves will be back competing. ·

THE AMERICAN INSURANCE DIGEST & INSURANCE MONITOR
The OLDEST Insurance Journal in America, will be 100 years old in March, 1953. The owner and publisher of this publication, George W. Wadsworth, whose son is a CadetatHOWE MILITARY SCHOOL dedicates this page to that splendid School and hopes that it will also attain 100 years of service. The many wonderful boys who I have seen at HOWE during my son's attendance there proves to me that HOWE MILITARY SCHOOL is an exceptionally fine institution. Its staff, headed by Colonel Bouton, impresses me with the thought that their's is a sincere interest in the future and welfare of their students. HOWE is a marvelous school. I am happy my son, Cadet George W. Wadsworth,
is having his high school years in such an ethical and inspiring environment.
