Dedication

Mr. James Malerich

I have known Mr. Malerich for over 13 years and in that time I have learned how much he knows about the school, education and dealing with people. His positive attitude and flexibility are both attributes that I admire. During some dreary times, Jiro Malerich stood by my side and helped me to navigate through those troubled waters. It is indeed an honor to include Jim Malerich as a friend, a confidant and a guide."

-Colonel Douglass

Mr. James Malerich joined the Howe family many years ago as an English Master Today he holds the position of Headmaster. Some of the duties he has held since he has been at Howe are English Master, Department Chair, Lower School Principal, Athletic Director, Dean of Students, Headmaster, and member of Executive Council. He also taught at the summer camp for over 20 years. He hopes that he has helped the cadets in their education while preparing them for life. Mr. Malerich strives to contribute to the success of the cadets every day.

In his 41 years here at Howe Mr. Malerich has been very involved with the athletics department. He has coached junior high golf, as well as varsity football and track. He is a member of the Honorary Varsity Howe Club, as well as an Honorary Alumnus. He has also been in charge of weight lifting. While coaching at Howe, Mr. Malerich experienced his most embarrassing moment. One day in football practice, he and Mr. Abston were standing on a blocking sled when some members of the team were practicing. The next thing you know Mr. Malerich found himself with a broken finger because the sled had run him over. This is only one of the many tales that Mr. Malerich enjoys sharing.

Mr. Malerich's favorite sporting team is the Chicago Bears, but Howe always comes first. We speak for all when we say that the cadets at Howe enjoyed seeing Mr. Malerich and his family at so many sporting events cheering on the teams. He also loves spending time with his grandsons and playing golf in his spare time. His biggest inspiration in his life i his family. This includes not only his family at home, but his family at Howe.

Mr. Malerich's door is always open to the cadets. Every cadet on

. ' campus can attest to being called into Mr. Maelerich's office at some time or another. Many times this was just to make sure that everything was all right. This illustrates the one word that Mr. Malerich used to describe himself, caring. Caring is something that he learned from his father and he strives every day to show the Howe family how much he cares. It has been a great 41 years that we have spent with Mr. Malerich. We look forward to the many years yet to come!

"Mr. Malerich is a legend at Howe. He excels with what he has done, and he has done so much here. I remember him from a very young age. He was my swimming instructor when I was only 8 years of age. I have known him my entire life. He truly loves Howe and he has touched so many cadets' lives with his time and caring. He will never be replaced. He is a wonderful man, teacher, coach and friend! .We love you Jim!"

This year we scored.: 5.25: ' possible points which earned · · · of Hortor Unit With Distinction. This .· is by a yeil<?w star worn bove the left pocket of the Garrison.

Special Ceremonies at Howe

The ceremonies at Howe are an important aspect of our culture here. Some of our traditions within the special parades and ceremonies date back to the Crusades (Sound offi). Others have ethnic origins such as when you hear Von Steuben which translates into, "Line up and go to bed!"

The students learn many important skills by participating in the various parades and ceremonies. Some of these skills are in both leadership and learning to follow. Our cadets also learn confidence and school p1ide as they work together to create these special events.

· '

It takes weeks of training the new cadets to be prepared for the event. Those watching agree that the hard work shows.

In the pictures above we honor a Marine. Bravo company also""practices rifle drill for the upcoming weekend.

Howe the Victims of 9/1A ·

This year marks the 5th anniversary of the worst attack on U S. soil. Americans gathered all over the country to pay their respects to those who had perished that dreadful day in September.

President Bush saluted the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. In Shanksville, PA ceremonies were held for those members who were on United Airlines Flight 93. In NYC there was a ceremony held at Ground Zero. A wreath laying ceremony was held in , Washington D.C. at the Pentagon.

The cadets at Howe Military School also paid tribute to those who had lost their lives on September 11. A dedication ceremony was held during the nonnal Sunday parade The parade included two fire trucks, an ambulance and a squad car along with five units off the field. Nearly 100 guests participated in the ceremony.

During the ceremony, the fire truck sounded its bell to let the world know that a firefighter had fallen. The flag was flown at half-mast in remembrance of the 9-11 victims. Cadet Jarkewicz played Taps and a prayer for the departed souls was given by Father Yaw.

Founders' Day

The annual Founders' Day Weekend is held during the 6th week of school. The weekend officially started with the laying of wreaths on the graves of former Howe faculty Each Company Commander escorted the Superintendent as the wreaths were placed to honor those who have departed. Many events occured on Saturday The day started with a drill competition between the companies. This year's recipient of the nbbon was Mike Company. A ceremony honoring the new inductees into the National Honor Society also took place on Saturday. Cadet Bloocn and Cadet Panfil were inducted while their families and the Corps watched The day ended with the Founders' Day Ball. During the ball, the Iron Guard of Howe Military School (composed of the junior class) honored the seniors as they walked through the Iron Guard's sabers.

Sunday morning began with Founders' Day Chapel. During the service, the seniors were part of a processional into the church. Faculty, parents and alumni surrounded our cadets during the service. The Domenic "Vito" Criscio Award was given to a cadet by the Criscio family and his family. This year, Josh Pelfrey was the recipient of this award. Awards and recognition were also given for the Tradition Award honoring those cadets who have family members who are Howe Alumni. Following the service there is a Drill Exhibition that showed off such moves as the "Wrist Breaker", "Queen Anne" and "Army Navy". The Founders' Parade also took place on Sunday afternoon. The Corp was lead by the Color Guard and Band. The Cannon Crew was also present to help honor the playing of the National Anthem. The weekend is steeped in tradition and events, however, the cadets had time to relax and socia lize with their families.

The picture to the right shows the Color Guard as they went past the review stand.

In the picture above Cadets Lassiter, Droupine, and Crocker posed for a picture during the dance.

It is a night where the cadets, staff, faculty and families gather. The night begins with the traditional production featuring the cadets of Howe Military.

Howe Military Goes International

On November 14th Dr. Smith and Ms. Harris embarked on a journey that would take them around the world. Their destination was Korea with the goal of recruiting new students to attend Howe Military School.

Asians value structure, order and respect for authority. For Korean parents it is important for children to receive a rigorous college preparatory education. Korean parents also want their children to know American culture and society. Many Korean families feel very strongly that American boarding schools are the best w(}ry for their children to prepare for college and life beyond college: - ·

Dr. Smith and Ms. Harris met with Korean families and educational consultants in Korea who work with placing students in the right boarding schools abroad. These programs differ from exchange students who study abroad for a short period of time. The candidates that Howe is looking for are those students who want to complete their education abroad and graduate from the school.

When asked how the Howe family will bene'ltt from a greater population of international students, Dr. Smith answered, "Our cadets will greatly benefit from learning with students from other cultures and nations. We live in a global community today and our students are best educated when exposed to students from other countries. Howe cadets will benefit through learning with students from other nations and in developing a healthy world view."

......

._"Korean colleges are very competitive. In addition, many feel that American co ll eges are among the best i n the world. Ma n y famili es wan t their children to stu dy a n d be educated in Am erica.' '

-Ms . Harris ESL Teacher

"

Many teachers talk about those ' light bulb' moments that happen when they are teaching. I es pecially enjoy working with the international and English as a secon r language students because those moments happen all the tim e ."

-Ms. Harris

"One of the most memorable moments of our trip to Korea was when Sang Hoon's mom Eunmi Jung and her friend Sylvia took us sight seeing on a boat ride down the Han River. The people in Korea are so nice. It made such a strong impression on me."

-Ms. Harris

"I like going to school at Howe. I like that it is a military school full of good teachers and friends. The church system is also very good. I do miss Korea sometimes, especially the food!"

Shining iq the spotlight. ..

The theatre department presented Cricket County Academy this year. This comedy follows the path of a simple country family who come into a lot of money. Some might think of this as a modem adaptation of the Beverly Hillbillies. The entire play is set in the drama room of Gold Leaf Academy. This play is full of memorable quotes and one-liners as we watch these country bumpkins adapt to an Ivy League school. A surprise lesson in etiquette and manners comes when the upper class students find that they have something to learn from the simple country folk.

This year's play was directed by Mrs. Grossman, Ms. Lute and Mrs. Douglass. Cadet Sommer. held the position of student Cadet Sommer also stepped in as an understudy when he was needed most. ' Cadet Murphy handled the backstage. Lights and sound were done by Cadet Noel, Cadet McGuire and Cadet Hoffecker. Cadet Hall and Cadet Beaulieu were in charge of costumes. Many other cadets came together to lend their talent to the production. The success of Cricket County Academy can be attributed to all of the hard work and dedication from the staff and crew.

"My favorite memory of the play is when Mr Grossman played my part. She is so good! We need a thousand of her and we 'II go real smooth on opening night!"

-Rachel Detamore

"It was really fun to work with these cadets and see them develop th · characters. Each of them made their role their own and added personality that made the play even more amusing .. "

'I play Brenda Mae. She is a tomboy and a rebel. I try to add omedy to my I want her to be interesting and someone that can make the audience laugh."

-Reid Watkins

My favorite line is "They are as nervous as a one-eyed cat watching 2 rat holes"

''I don't know what you mean, evil enchantresses. I think I will nap now.!"

"She keeps talking like that and she's liable to ruffle my u feath...____.... ers."
