"I will not lie, cheat or steal, nor rolerate among us those who do ." This is the honor code of Hdwe Cadets. The secret tO its success, howeve r, lies in the Cadet Honor Counc il. The Council is composed of two cadets from eac h company, cha ired by the Battalio n Adjutant. The Council investigates the alleged violations of the Honor Code. Once the investigations have been completed, the committee decides whether the violations of the accused cadet necess itates a hearing before a full Honor Board.

The Council has been active fulfilling its responsibilities to the corps. The cadets involved meet during the week and on Satu rd ays to cond uct hearings to make determinations about alleged violations.

HONOR COUNCIL

SPEECH Traditionally one of the largest organizations on campus, rhe Speech Team has included close ro forry per cent of rhe corps ar one rime or another. Forry cadets have been actively involved in some phase of speech competition this year.

Extending from October until the end of April, the Speech season usually involves a Saturday meet of eleven events, ranging from "extemp" to original oratory. The cadet selects an area, practices with coaching from sponsor William S. Hicks, and then competes.

The Howe Speech Team has always been a potent force in srare-wide competitions. Two or three srare champions have come from Howe. Mr. Hicks asserts, "I think Speech is extremely beneficial because ir helps rhe studenr learn tO stand on his own two feer and to think on his feet ."

The Debate Team of Howe, though sma ll , has always prevailed. Much of the credit belongs co the sponsor.John A. Pagin . Meeting once or twice a month, the team competes within the St.Joseph Valley League, one of the o ld est debate leagues in the state. The difficult part of debate is the amount of time and academ ic preparation required of the participant. Each debater must thoroughly investigate his sub ject and understand it in depth . According ro Mr. Pagin, debate helps each participant overcome speech problems and learn to deal with a problematic qu es tion logicall y.

RADIO WHWE, on rhe air daily from 8:30 am to 11:30 am and from 12:l0 pm to 3:10 pm, provides cadets with a unique opportunity tO experience actual radio station exposure. This year the radio sration has been run as a class project, under the sponsorship of Will iam S. Hicks. Cadets are responsible for establishing musical programming, arranging and maintaining announcer schedules, and repairing damaged equipment. The ten-watt FM station, which features easy listening and middle of the road rock and roll , is broadcast directly through the air and not through the electrical system. Although remnants of eguipmenr dating as far back as 1940 remained, the radio station did not begin broadcasting recently until a ribbon cutting ceremony in 1970. Approximately $40,000 in equipment had been obtained through the efforts of Mrs. Cecelia Gauss, mother of a cadet. The major advantage of maintaining a functioning radio station is that cadets gain a basic idea of how a station may operate. Cadets have gone to college radio stations after working at WHWE; others have graduated co continue their careers in the communications industries.

"In my three and a half year period at Howe, I've learned to struggle through the bad times and laugh through the good times. I've had my set backs, but with the help and support of my friends , I've made it through my last year. Through the years at Howe, there is one person that I've realized is very important to me. Without her support I never would have returned ro Howe and made ir. I give a very warm and lovable thanks to my mother."

P.S. To Norm and Curt-Your names will remain in my thoughts always."

"!can't exactly say that Howe has been the greatest experience in my life, but I certainly consider it worthwhile. Worthwhile, not so much educationally, but for what I've learned about myself. That could possible be the most valualbe lesson one might learn in life. The aspect I most admire about Howe is friendship. Friends have made this school what it is and what it will be . I've made friends for a lifetime and no material wealth cou ld ever detract from that. Jeff, Bob, Eric, Pete, Scott, John, Norm, Jerry, Dan, Tim-"Thanks and See You at the Top."

"All through this past yea r, I've been saying, can't wait to get out of this place . Now that I think about it, I'm going to miss Howe. It took me fou r years to find out what I wa nted o ut of my education. The first three yea rs, I cou ldn't seem to find ir.

I wasted a lot of precious time. Then in the spring of 1982, I decided to come here. I rece ived a lot of criticism from my peers fo r thar. But I ignored the criti cism and it has worked out for the best. I've had tim e to 'get my head together' and set some rea listic goals fo r my li fe. Thank you, Howe; I'll miss you.

A Father's Prayer Bui ld me a Son, 0 Lord, who wi ll be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who wi ll be proud and unbend ing in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

Build me a Son whose wishbone wi ll not be where his backbone should be; a Son who will know Thee ... and that to know Himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.

Lead Him, I pray , not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let Him learn to stand up in a storm; here let H im learn compassion for those who fail.

Build me a Son whose heart wi ll be clear, whose goal wi ll be high; a Son who will master Himself before be seeks to master other men; one who will reach in to the future yet never forget the past.

And after all these things are His, add I pray, enough of a sense of humor so that He may always be serious, yet never take Himself too seriously. G ive him humility , so that He may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom , the meekness of true strength.

Then I, His father, will dare to wh isper, "I have not lived in vain."

General of the Army Douglas MacArthur Best Wishes to the Son's of '83

Since the allotted space for advertisements was not filled at the time of the final deadline, and since our photographers had taken many, many candid photos, we decided not to merely leave blank pages, but to share with you a sample of their work. Enjoy.
