Foreword

In the belief that :this year's edition of The T atlcr shows one year's progress in the !ife of the School and in the life of the student body, we, the Class of 1925, have endeavored through the medium of this publication to portray Prep School life as it is al Howe School. If in afler years this book will recall pleasant memories to the minds of the readers, we will feel that our efforts have not been in vain.

"Nick" is the one with the agile pen, and the credit for much of the Art work in The Tatler and in The Heral d during the pas . two years is due to this red headed lad. "Red" plans to study furniture designing, and follow in the fooLsteps of his successfu l father. He hao proves himself to be a leader in the Academic life of the school. "Red" has roomed with Hank during the past two years and this pair will bear watching.

"Y ib " is one of the best a ll around athletes who has ever been accorded the honor of wearing the "H." He has been captain of the basketball, football and baseball teams in his three years at Howe. Yib also hold s up hi s end when it comes to stud i es as he ranks near the top He ha s rise n to the rank of Captain of " B" company. Yib was originally a Dwight but because of the need of good officers in the Blakes he was transferred at the beginning of the year. Yib intends to enter Wabash College in the Fall.

An all around fellow and one who ha s served hi s sc hool well. The football stars of Howe will h ave to make room for him in their sacred ranks for he stands forth with the best of them. A large hole will have to be filled next year to .take his place, both in the cadet officers and the football and basketball teams.

You can usually find Tiny walking off a "few extra tours" on the guard squad but as he says "it's great exercise and bound to make a large appetite."

Our only regret is that we may not en jo y his association in the years to come.

Fir st in lin e cnmes Ander son \Vith unly one most grievous sin , I le managl'S the T ATLER a nd doc s all that, But he 's tremendou ly fo nd of "Gin" (poor boy).

11 e hail s from Harvey , l llinoi s, Th ey call him Armington.

\Vhen thinking of sheiks , think of Barret R., The boy is never without a date. J l e know s a l I the girl s, both lo ca l and otherwise Throughout all th e Hoo sie r Stat e.

From the go ld fi sh city co me s Manley Bran c h, And a manly man is he.

H e' ll s ucc eed in thi s wor ld , ju st give him a c han ce, An orator he'll be.

If you have neve r se en , a rea l radio fiend H e rc 's 1•our ch an ce to hear of one now. Thi s lad , thou gh really not bad, Created that epidemic at H owe.

Carter's go ing to be an engineer, l n mechanics he' ll do a lot. Fir st he' ll build a Carter -Ca r And then a big gas yac ht.

C halm ers studie s far too much, That 's how all hi s time he docs pa ss , Rut then there' s a rea son for doin g such, He l ea ds the Senior Class

From t he Badger state comes Curtiss, He' one of these l\1usical boys. One cou ld n ever think a piano under hi s s uper v isio n Cou l<l make s uch an unearthl y noi se.

Kaydct Allwyne Eberts is a first cla s bookkeep e r, Now that he' s fini s hed the term, He'll lie able to take a well paying job, In most any respectable firm.

"Coac h " H illi goss liked ba s ket ball And ba ske tball liked him, And with this g reat combination Our opponents c hance s \\ e re slim.

Hockett is a lad of literary fame, And he is Captain of the Macks. H e edited th e TATLER thi s.y ear, There's nothing that th is boy lack s

He's a four letter man in s port s, And possesses so me keen ya nkee wit. When it ·omes to making a name for Howe, "Fritz" House has done hi s bit.

Another product of th e Hoosier State Is this Bass Leslie lad

Mnrganthaler is a wee little fellow, Ifr is almost hid from sig ht. He is the foremost worry of the surro undin g do cto rs, Tht: buy no appetite.

He's a wizard in studying birds and bees, In fact he's a Botany shark. He'll tell you about any insect you please, That boy Alan PaLriarche.

Now Schneider is from l ndianapo lis, And cwr si nce tu How e he came, · 'Ve have been hear in g all about that cross rond city I ts grca tnc :;s, it s mnit, it s fame

'Vhen it comes to being a track man, Smitley is as fast as Frivi lous Sal. When the Relay is ove r and won, All honor s should go to "AL."

Steigcmeyer is really good looking, Around him the "wi mmin" do group. But to their whims and their whi les, This "wome n hater" ne'er will stoop.

"A visitor, s ir , and he has no card. However, hi s name is Mr. P M T and S Olaf," announced the va l et

"At this hour ," I exclaimed, for on Mars it is not the custom to receive v isitors at 10:00 P. M. For that matter, your own World, my d ear reader, differs little in this r espect The expression on the valet's face star tl ed me. was ghastly, almost inhuman "What kind of a personage is thi s to s tartle you so, James?" Not waiting for a reply, however, I asked to have him shown into my study.

While avyaiting our vistor l will endeavor to inform you of the why and 'vherefore of my present occupation of northeastern Mars. To begin with, in the eventful year of 1937, immediately s ucceeding the establishment of communication between the two planets I decided to attempt che creation of an Utopia, a purely s ociali s tic commun ity, upon th e new-found planet. One can scarce l y call my new home a new-found pl1met. However, it is one not yet exploited by our rnce. In this manner I hoped to discover the tru e merits or faults of the socia l theory and, thereby, tu be able to guide the s ucceedi n g ge nerati ons in the right path

With this purpose in m ind I grouped about my se lf three old schoo lmat es, as a staff: Major Smit ley, a retired Army Officer; Mr. Patriarche, the greates t of a ll botanists , a nd Mr. Langford, an artist both in music and painting. T am a foreign mi ssio nary and for my part I expect to uphold the religious s ide of the community life. 1t is not my purpose, however, to ti re you with a lengthy recital of our life on l\1ar s and it is sufficient for the more curious tn that so far, ten lon g years, our work has been

"\V'e ll ! Now where did you come from, old fellow? A collie dog on Mars. This is so mething new in 'Al' Pat ri arc he 's line. Come here, old pal, and let 's look at you ." Stranger things than this had happ e ned during my stay on the fiery planet I was startled, indeed, but hardly to the point of calling for aid.

1 was interrupted at thi s in s tant by th e return of t h e va l et w ho , finding the dog with hi s paws upon the arm of m y c ha ir, n ea rl y turned a s omersault o\lt the window.

"Ho ld on, J arnes ! What's t he m ittt e r? " L as ked l a u gh in g at hi s evi d ent horror of the canine.

''\V-w-wh} that is t he v isito r , s ir, " he gasped

It \Y:ts my turn to register asto ni s hmen t.

"Ba h! Come on down to Mars; don ' t be ab sur d ," I r e pli ed. "How co uld a dog s peak a nd present himse lf as Mr Olaf? W here is hi s master?"

'' l am here, l\Ir. C halm e rs," wa s the calm r ep ly in a d ee p ma sc ulin e voice "vVhrrc ?" I exclaimed, fa ilin g to see a ny per so n exce pt the frightened valet in tlw room.

"Co me fort h, sir ,"- n ot ice the "s ir "; that ca me from a thoroug h Howe Schoo l tra inin g- L shouted , exasperate d , "and s how yo ur s elf . T hi s is n ' t Howe, nor will l soak rnu fiftv demerit s. Come out!" T h e do g spra n g upon m y d es k.

''Say, how about Sm itl ey?" Olaf rep li ed . " He wo n ' t kick m e o ut lik e he ust' d to in barracks, wi ll he?"

"No," I replied la u g hin g "By the way, in that c lose t yo u wi ll find a fin· co ll ec tion of o ld shoes a nd knowing yo ur fondne ss for s u c h pl ease go ri g h t a head and enjoy yo ur self ."

The Class 1-Iistory

In the distant past, a time almost forgotten, a little bo y strode fearlessly onto thl' rolling 1?;rrcns of Howe. He was the first of the best senior clas that has ever graduated from Howe. His name was and st ill is "Al" Smitley. They u ed to say during the following year that he would be a seco nd Grant.

All those who were th ere to meet the new fellows in the far back year of "19," knew the class hi storian when he arrived becau se of hi s tongue which he just couldn't control. l t would invariably begin t? when he tal.ked. "Hass" L<"slie also came in the same year only at Chnstmas tuue of that fruitful year, bringing with him hi s foundry to play with during hi s spa re moments.

'Vht·n the ) car of "2 1" rolled around we were all at the train to meet onr Class President and Editor, "Zimmie" Hockett, for even then he sho ne out like the star on Eve. And as he stepped from the patiicnt G. R. & I., he impressed us as a Columbus coming to di scover new land. Along with him came our ongstrr, "A rchie" Langford and the sc hool' s gardner, "Pat" Pa.ti·iarch.

The following year brought us somet hing to talk a bout, for lo , who should enter upon th<' stage but our most mighty captain of all sport s, "Yib" Mead and with him to help carry the immen se load came "Fritz" House. They were laden with footballs, basketballs, ba seba ll s, tennis racquets, medals of honor and sports and both bearing a stau nch loyalty for Chicago and Jack so n and a popularity with the female movie star s of Hollywood. But wait, we have more to come, for here is "Bill" Chalmers bringing athletic uniform s, high grades, a mania for ranking his form for the year and a big "Lone Star" of Texas on hi s suit ca c. Right behind him marched "Paul" Webster with a pair of drum stic ks, a drum, and a baton all tied up in a red bandanna and hi s face wreathed in happy sm il es.

"23' \1 as starte d by the editor-in-chief of the noted "Bozo's Bunk," "A ndy" Anderson. \Vith him he brought a cavalry sa bre and a lot of pretty pictures. His arrival was heralded by the clatter of i run shod hoofs as he pranced into Howe on his noble steed. \Ne received a few other brilliant member s s uch as "Hank" Arrnington who came with all hi s sheck le s, his plumbing and establishment.

"\Vhcn schoo l started in September in the yea r of 1923, who s hould get off "The Grant! Railway Incorporat ed," but roommates, "Ken" Carter and "Boom" Biederman. Boom was carrying a book of jokes and a fool's head , s upposing I gue.ss, to he the .Rect.or' je ster. "Ken" was carrying a funny lookin g littl e horn wlrn:h he co uld Ju st barely make squeak. You should he ar him now. Eberts also came bringing with him the air of Wyandot much lad en w ith the dust of hi s father's coal es tabli shment. "Tiny" Morganthalcr rolled in about this time in hi s Jordan Six, a turdy frame well cushioned with two hundred pounds of filling.

. W:ell, finally rnlled a.nd with it came Burgess with aH hi s r:idio and hi s Curtiss taggmg along behind, lugging a large bo x 111 winch hr kept his ponderous memory. Suddenly we heard the tread of heavy feet and turning we aw our friend "Dick" Barrett, he had just hailed in

from Union City, where from reports they raise wi ld women. Another newcome r ca me in crowned with a Aamin g th atc h. 1I e was the famous " .Hard Boiled" Sc hn eider from Indianapoli s, w ho had ju st l eft hi s fat h er's tai lor shop, to come here, he sa id , to lea rn somet hin g about go in g to co ll ege. \N e ha ve t he be:;t of hopes. His fellow c iti ze n , the well kno w n Stcigcmcycr, who ha s inherited th e art of scl lin i; Cad illa c cars an d makin g l ove to women, has blosso med forth from hi s hiding place to help make our cla ss mor e of a s uccess. Pr etty soo n we heard a stea dy t hump - thump and an ever-increas in g noi se a nd who should co 1nc but our old friend "H illi" IIilli goss, boun cin g a ba sketball and yelling at t he top of hi s vo ice, " I want so methin g to cat, aw plea se gimme so me ." "Feet togeth e r."

vV e have among us :i. member w ho is not rated as a se ni or but he 1vill gra duate this year, hi s nam e is " ic" De Vries. H e is known for the agile pencil w ith which he draws car toon s

The neophytes for thi s ye ar are Burgess, Barrett , Schneider, Steigemcyer and Hilligoss.

Thi s end s the hi s tor y of Th e Class of J 925, a team of fellows who are leavi ng a blazed trail be hind th em wherever the y go and we hope that we arc leavi ng a mark on the records that wi ll be unequaled by any other clas s grndufrom Howe Sc hool.

TACTlCAL OFFCCERS

ri.Iajor James Schaeffer Merritt, Commandant of the Middle School and assistant to the Commandant of the Sc hool, graduate d from Howe in '17. Soon aftn he took the rank of Captain and Tactical Officer in the Middle School. ll c so succcssfu 1 in his work with bo ys in this capacity that he was promoted to rank of i\1ajor by the School officials in 1923. Major Merritt has hl•t•n at Howe for the last seve n years and is one of the mo s t popular members of the staff on the camp us. Among hi s many duties he is the Manager of the Athletics and is Athletic Director. Major Merritt received inten s ive training in the S. A T. C. at Fort Sheridan.

Captain George Sam uel P resto n, Commandant of the Lower School, is also a mem bc.-r of the class of '17. Captain Pre sto n has had c harge of the military in the Lower School for the past s ix years and ha s achieved remarkable results with the little fellows in this line. Captain Pre s ton's ability as a Drill 1\laster can be doubted by no one who ha s ever witnessed a parade in which the 0 Little Napo l eons" have participated.

Capta in August I vcr Davis completed his work at Howe as a student in '23 after li\•c years' serv ice in the Cadet Corps. This is hi s seco nd year as a Tactical Officer in the Middle School and Dame Rumor ha s it that he will return aga in in the fall to aid Major Merritt in ruling thr destinies of the l\Iid<llers.

Captain Harold Owen, spe nt two years in the corps but left in '23 for the East to continue his education. Captain Owen returned to the Middle in the capacity of assistant to M;ijor Merritt, this year and has become very popular with the fellows. \Ve hope that the men who r e.turn to the Midd'lc next year will have the pica.sure of serving under him

Captain Otho Ling came to Howe as Bandmaster in the fall of 1 923 and h as ,incc developed some of the best musical organizations that have ever grace d the Howe campus. He is a graduate of \i\Te ste rn State Normal a t Kalamazoo. Captain Ling came to us from Morgan Park, where he was hem! of the Music Department lt was Morgan Park 's lo ss and Howe's gain. T hi s help s even the score for the beating handed our "F igh tin g Five" by the Parkers. 1 he orchestra, as well as the band , ha s prospen:d u nder the able direction of tain Ling.

THE OLD GUARD

There is nn organization in the Schoo l which ha s but one qualification for membership, but that qunlificntio11 is in many respects a stiff one. To be a member of The Old (;unrd, n cadet must have spe nt at l east four years at Howe Sc hool. The members of The Old Guard may be distinguished by a chevron worn on the lower l ef t hand sleeve. This ch ev ron has the words How e Sc hool Old Guard embroidered in red on a blue grny field with a white star for each year of service.

The Adrninii.tration looks to the Old Guard fo r undivided loyalty and co-operation at all times. They represent the group m ost familiar with the ideals of Howe and as s uch they exert a strong influence fo r good in the student body.

THE BAND

Under the guidance of Captain Ling , the band is far s uperior tu what it ha s been for many yea r s. Captain Otho Ling; is a sp lendid teacher and ha s had much experience in the l eadership of band s and orchestras in other place s, coming from Morgan Park Mi li tary School of Chicago. He has worked hard for the la s t two years here and the band ha s responded to hi s tireless efforts.

The b<tnd is composed of twenty pieces. l\/fany of the members have had a great deal of musical training before they came but others h;tve been taught a ll they know by Captain Ling.

The band next year will be the same wit h the exception ot Sergeant Langford. As many of the men hav e had at least a year and some two years' work under Captain Ling, the band will ne x t year be fa r superior to what it is now. The band has had numerous invitations to play in the town s near Howe.

The band has a htrge repertoire of marches and concert pieces. These arc all of t he best class as "Officer of the Day ," "T he N :i.tiona l Emblem," "Sa.lute to Washington" and "The Sta.rs ;rnd Stripes Forev e r."

St. James' Chapel

Howe School was founded the seco nd Wednesday of September, J 88+. In the yea r the old St. Mark's Parish Church , which a frame building s tood rn the western part of the Village of Howe, then called Lima, was given to Howe School. The church was mo ved to 1-loll'c School and veneered with bric 1 k and is now the part of the Middle Sc hool wh ich co ntain s the Quartermaster s office.

A new church was built the ame year, but in 1903 the St. Mark's Parish sold it and the building was remodeled into a double hou se: and s tand s near the business section of Howe.

St.. Parish joined with the School in 1903, when St. James' Chapel was built, 111 the use of the Chapel, but it maintain s, as it does now , a scparatr parochial organization. This year St. Mark's Parish bought a building, which sta nd s on the Northwest corner of Howe Square, for its parish hou se.

Before St. James' Chapel, which is so dear to u s all was built, the Howe boys used to attend services regularly down town. They were marched d01n1 in formation in all kinds of weather. vVc s hould now appreciate our O\Yn Chapel more bemuse we ca n attend it mor e fr equently. lt sre ms as if God was nearer u s and all that we do is gu ided by Him.

St. James' Chapel was not always, as it now s tand s, but ha s been enlarged three time s as the School has grown and needed it. The fir st Chapel in 1903 was in the s hape of a rectangle; its walls were of buff brick, as they are now. The east wall was where the lectren now stands but what is the choir room as was then u se d as the vestry. The style o f architecture is Early English. The Chapel is dedicated to St. James.

The interior of the Chapel is in the sty le of the famous chapels at Oxford, suc h as Magdalen and All Souls. The ca nopied sta ll s, panel s, lectren s and fald stools arc of quartered oak and hand ca rved. The organ befo re 191+ stood in the i·ear of the Chapel in a balcon y at the west end. The choir was also in this balcony. The altar of the St. Mark's Church was u se d then.

In th e year ] 903 the Trustees of the School ordered an addition to be built on the Chapel which was completed in 1906. The addition provided a new sa nctuary which brought the east end of the Chapel to include what is now the c hnir. Here was placed a. large memorial altar of white m 1irbl e , given by Mary, a bove which is the bea.utiful triptych including Sig. Ducci' s copy of the Ascension, and rare co pie s of Fra Angelico's Angels. Sig. Ducci, an ltnlian painter, obtained by Dr. McKenzie when abroad, also made many other co pie s of famous pictures which now adorn the wall s of the Clrnpel.

Under the Sanctua.ry is a memorial crypt Chape l in which repose the hC1clic of the Howe family, the founders of Howe School. The ex qui s ite altar of white marble in memor y of Bi s hop Knickerhackcr, Wll$ donated by Mr. F. J. Lautz of Buffalo, N. Y. l t was placed there but now stands in the Cr)' Pt b e neath the Mo·ther' s Chapel.

At thi s sa me time the organ from St. Mark's Church was replaced by a larger organ in the cho ir loft and is an instrument of excellent tone.

ln 1909 Dr. McKenzie added a new sa nctuary and a No rth Trnn s cpt to the Chapel. The altar was mo ved into the new Sanctuary and was arranged as it now s tand s. Scats were placed in what is now the choir. The North Transept composed of a balcony with sea ts and a hall with an entrance ;ind a new vestry room.

[n Fil+ a South Transept was added w hi ch is known as the Mother's Chapl'l. It was dedicated to the Holy Mot h er in memory of the Mothers of thl' Howe School Boys. This Chapel sca t s fifty Peop l e and in case of crowded conditions :it Commencement it mm' be used The beautiful oak from t he old c hur ch was donated br St: Mark's Guil'd. On the a lt ar is a fine wooden crucifix which was obtained by Dr. McKenzie in 1913 upon a visit to Obt'rammergau 11 here he saw the Passion Play and over the >vest door is an t'xtraordinan Crucifixion Group of carved wood. A rare copy of the Sistine which lrnd bren given by Mrs. Ho11 e to the School was placed in the l\lother's Chapel. Later in 19 I 5, J 917 and 1920 magnificent bronze tablets uf i\Iothcr.' ' names of Howe Boy s were placed in the Chapel, a fourth o n e is now lacking a frw names of co mpletion. T h e tablets are made through a subscription of live dollars and a Mot her's name.

Thl' west door leads dnwn stairs, o n eit h e r side of other stairs, to a d oor opening intn the ya rd. The center s tairs lead to a sp l e ndid crypt. In this crypt now rep<ns the body of the Rev. John Heyward McKenzie. The arc h es and pillars are of white brick and sto ne of mitrvclous design. The Reserved Sacr:unrnt is kept in the Tabernacle on the altar at all time s and the Mass (Holy Communion serv ice) is celebrated here daily.

l n 19 J + the organ was moved from the loft in the rear of the Chapel to the position in which it now s tands in one-ha l f of the balcony in the No rth Transept. The west balcony was remodeled into a guest balcony. A new window of co lored glass wit h the picture of th e Epiphany (the three wise men ufferinl!; gifts to Christ in the manger) was donated in memory of Jessie Gouloui hy her sis ter.

A bronze tablet in l oving remembrance of the Reverend James Eleazer Craig, <t graduate of Howe Schoo l , a Font, a gift of th e first rector of the Pari s h , the Reverend J. 0. Barton, and a tablet of bronze in memory of the Howe Boy s who gave their se rvices and paid the s upreme sacr ifi ce in the World \Var arc in thr hall at the west end which l eads to the main Chape l.

Jn the Crypt is a stained g lass window g iven by the three McKenzie brothers in memory of their Father, Mother and S ister In 1924- the Howe School alumni donated a large monument in memory of the beloved Dr. McKenzie. It stands near the entrance to th<'; crypt in t h e yard under the large Magno Iin tree.

In the tower is hung a fine 1, 700 pound bell which was presented by Mr. Jame s B. Howe in 1890 to the sc hool. Also a Peal of tubular Bells are in the tower donated by the Rev. John Heyward McKenzie and a clock with chimes were donaterl by Mr. Percy Dwight, of Detroit. A clergy cross 1s a gt ft to t he Sc hool in memor y of Adelaide Acheson Beecher.

The canopied scats in the main Chapel were give n as gifts to the School by the st udents and friend s whose name s they bear on brass plate s. The rector's wa s donated by Dr. McKenz ie and the Bi s hop's by Bi shop White.

In the vestry room is a cabinet filled wit h cost l y jeweled ves tm ents and !men for the altar which have been gifts at different times to the C h apel by the Schoo l 's many friend s Thl're are four white sets one of wh ich is set with jewels, two red, two green, two bla ck, tw 1 0 purple sets and a mag!11ficent.

A ll t h ese things Bis h op W hi te made possib le and mar hi s li fe be a guide to us

A little before the death of the Bi s hop a counci l of the diocese wa s called to appo int a Bishop Coadjuto r. T h e Rector of H owe Sc hco l, Dr. C harles Herbert Yo un g, was urged by many of t he clergy and la ymen for this high h o nor but h e n om in ated the Reverend Cam pb ell Gray , r.:dor of St. C hur c h , Peoria, Illin o is, who was elected.

For our fo urth ga me, o ur boys trave l e d t o KendaHville where we were r ece ive d very co rdiall y. We were somewhat handi ca pp e d by injurie s received in our pr ev iou s ga me.

How e rece ived a nd we w ere un a bl e to ga in and were forced to punt. B y strni g ht footba ll th e Kendallville el eve n was a bl e to put over a touchdown in t he first sess io n of the fray.

Howe 13-Garre tt 0

For the Founders Day ga me we played Garrett, the sa me t ea m th at beat us the year ?cfor c by the s mall m arg in of 17 to 14. Tt was a n exce ll e nt d ay a nd Howe ki c ked to Ga rrett , who made se veral a tt e mpt s a t our lin e and finally made firr.t d ow n on an e nd run s 11 ccess of o ur o pp o n e nt s did not l as t lon g, rts we brace d up a nd Howe was g ive n t h e b all on do,wn s. We fou nd seve ral i n the lin e a nd pla ye d them. We m ade a ga llant mar ch d ow n to their 20 var d l:n e w here we l os t the ball o n a fumbl e. The t ea m s play e d in the ce nter of t he h eld for the remainder of the quarter w ith our team h av in g the

better of the fray. The second session opened with Howe making another drive toward our goal. Their line and ends see med weak and much of our success was obta.ind here. A pas s, Mead to House, netted us 15 yards and we were now on the 20 yard line. On the next play House wormed his way through the line and away from three of the opposing tacklers for our fir st score. Morgan tha.ler kicked and the sco re was Howe 7, Garrett 0. The latter part of the quarter Howe played in Garrett's territory .

The second h alf we ru s hed our v is itor s down to their own part of the field where our ever-reliable fullback, Anderson, put the oval over from the 10 yard line from a n off tackle drive. The attempt for goal was mi sse d. Our opponents attempted several passes, but only completed 3 out of ] I. vVc again received the ball on The third quarter ended with Howe having 13 and Garrett nothing Howe kicked and the ball was returned 30 yards to mid-field. Now the opposing team put up a great display of come-back, as they swept us from our feet and we were soon defending our goa l from the 25 yard line. At this time the Garrett fullback fumbled the oval on an attempted criss-cross, and Gill pounced upon the b iLll. Hou se pulled our giant Tiny from the lin e and was sto pped on a fake punt formation. Tiny kicked on the next p lay and the ball was in play in mid field. They s till in s is ted on using the pass and we still in sis ted on breaking them up.

\Ve s howed a lot of the old fight here and they again lo st the balT on clowns. On the first play Mead tore off a run of 23 yards through a massed field. On an attempted pa ss from Mead to House the ball was grounded. Again we tried it and this time, the ball was intercepted by their fullback. The whistle blew at thi s period and Howe h ad again won their Founders Day game.

Howe 0-Goshen 32

Every game was a close one The Blakes won the Championship for the third consecutive time, the Dwights coached by Mr. Lively taking second place and the Macks finishing third. The champions with a well balanced team went through the season without a defeat. Much cred it for the winning of the championship goes to Mr. Bouton the Bhtkc coac h T •he Blakes s h owed their real abi lit y in severa l practice games with the Varsity when they gave the Sc h ool team a real battle. The Blakes had the added honor of going through the season without being sco red on.

THE 192+ SEASON

FOOT BALL TEAM

l_Joiver and Mid.get Football

Three interesting footba11 games were played between the Lower School and the Middle School Midgets. The first game was a very hard fought one ending in a tic game, each team sco ring one touch - down. In the second game the Lower s howed a wonderfu l improvement and s mothered the Midgets under a sco re of 13, holding their opponents scoreless. A renl fight developed in the third game and so me good football was played by both teams, the feature of the game being a long place kick by C. John so n of the Lower This was the only core made during the game and Champion. hip therefore went to the Lower School. The Lower School team of 192+ was undoubtedly one of the be s t team. tlrnt the Lower has ever boasted of.

This year's team wa s composed mostly of se ni ors, seve n m en being lost through graduation. Howe h ad st rengt h , goo d goa l s ho otin::;, plenty of drive a nd a n exce ll e nt passing ga m e.

One of the big r easo n s for Howe's str e n gt h this yea r was due to the st iff opposit ion afforded them in prac ti ce by the seco nd team.

HOWE 37; CULVER 30

"\Vhat meanest thou by t hat word, CULVER," asked lit t l e Yibbo of the Chronicler, as he sat in front of t he campfire o n e fine s prin g eve nin g in th e year I CJHS? "l\'[y son, it is a lon g and stra nge sto r y, but if yo u w ill h ave patience [ will tell it to you as it was told to me by yo ur famo u s grnn d s ire, Mead the l\lighty."

" It was during the reign of King Lambert in ] 925 that a Mam m o th Migration did take place. The hrawn y warriors, bearing the crypt ic, CULVER, on their breastrlates, did in vade the To rth Cou ntri e, a nd great we r e th e D:t"tardly Deeds that were committed.

" It so harpcned that all who did oppose them were sm itt e n fatally upon the Dome, and Terrible was the co n s ternation in th e Land. It came to pass that on a fine \\'inter evening this horde did i n vade t h e empire of th e Howeites. Explorers had been sent into t he l and, a nd fearfu l were th e reports that were brought to Good King J ea n . ' Twas. aid t h at their numbers were as t h e l eaves o n the trees, their were fi ll ed with the ch oicest gems, a nd their m e n- at-a rm s were selected because of their g igantic s t at ure. A ll was pandemonium in t h e Countrie of the Hmn·ites.

" It was a cloud) d fty, a nd as the S undi al s ho we d the Hour t o b e that of the third Watch, a Noise went around th e dwel lin g of the m e n of King Lambert, 'They are come. They are come.'

"And the Good King tlid s ummon all of hi s b ravest warriors a b o ut him , men who had been marked for their st r e n gt h and valo r in Comba t. T h ey were led by l\1ead the Great, who came from t he C ity of Smoke accom p a ni e d by hi s townsman, the Duke of Arm i ngto n. Fulton the Scot had joined them as they were approaching.

"Frnm the regions of the Tall Her bage did ga ll op Hilligos s the Magnificent. o Smill' illuminated hi s face for h e h ad fo r eswo rn this Luxury in hi s early Childhood. Branch the Humane, Wi lso n the Swif t , a nd Morganthaler the \.Yee were at hi s idc And be hind them all did come Hockett th e Scribe, and he lag ge d far for hi s bunions were trnublesome.

"And frnm the Lowlands was heard a great vo lum e of sound fo r Beiderman the Jester was approaching. He was attired in the Sk in of the Grea t Bear.

" Hou se the In compa rable arr ive d on ho rseback for h e h ad been informed tardi ly of the thre ate ning Dan ge r. His fe ll ow men were joyful. H is feats of Marksmanshir were well-know n throug h out t h e Kingdom He was atte nd ed by Capouc h the Lo st a nd Howden the U n ga inl y.

"K in g Lambert spokt' \\'ord s of Wisdom to t h ese Va liant Knights, a nd extraordinary was the atc n t ive n rss. l\llead t he Great did speak volubly. The oration consisted of the se word s, 'We cannot Lose.'

"A t ahout the eig hth Hour al l 11·as ast ir in the camp of the Righteous. T h e F: n r m y was see n approac hin g, stripp e d for battle. Foremost a m o n g th ese was Peck the Grea tl y Touted to w hom a ll the M ig h ty Me n of CULVER li s t e n e d with great re s pect, for was he not hera ld ed as the G r eatest of A ll T im e?

"'Twas but a few mome n ts l ater that K in g J ea n ap peared w ith hi s Small But l\/[ighty clan of warriors. They were cl ot hed i n ar m o r si mil ar t o th a t of ' the Cu l vc ri tcs except that their breastplates were of S il ver and we r e e mblazoned with the Coat of Arms of t h e Family of Howe. Sma ll in statur e the y brsidc those who had come to harra ss.

"L:trge Cro\\'ds h a d gat here d to witne ss this St ru gg l e, for would not a defeat mran extermination for the Worthy. I , my so n, was but a bab e in

a rm s, so could not w itn ess the Fray. 'Twas fought in the very Courtyard of the P a l ace a nd astonishing were the bouts of en co u rageme nt that went up from Multitude as our m en took the arena. The Seers a nd Goo dl y of the Kmgdom we r e there. Young t he Godly, J am icso n the Wise, Robinson, the Friendly, Todd the E ld er, J ennings th e C hur c hm an, ;md Edwards th e M ig ht y Chieftan were among th ose who h ad co m e to the co urt t o s hout encoura ge 1nc 1{t to o ur Knights. The lad ies of the Co urt had taken their plact':> when the Hostilities h a d begun.

"In those Days , my so n , s tran ge missles were use d a nd the purpose of them was not only to destroy those who opposed them, hut a lso to humiliat e the Opposition by miss in g th eir hea d s a nd cas uall y droppin g the s1 h eriods through the iron rings, draped wit h the Ne ts of a dead Glacl1ia tor , lo cated at eac h e nd of th e Co urty ard. The In va d ers seeme d r ema rkabl y adept at doin g this before the Battle was beg un. Great was th e anxiety of the Gathering and th ey a ll w hi sp ered, 'We are Lost. We are Lost.'

"T h e mighty Valor of the Visitors had been wi d ely hera ld ed and indifferent were those w ho had staye d at h ome when the CULVER Soldiers sa lli ed forth to w in a few Scalps for th e adornment of th eir t e nts. Were n ot th ey well-nigh in vi n cibl e?

"Lo, an d Behold! The bat tl e h as beg un. Those w ho were t o co nqu er th e Howeites we r e: Wilson th e Terrible, Harris th e Scornful, Cole the Ungo dl y, DeFord the Supercilious a nd Briggs th e B ea uti f ul. Much was kno w n of the Skill of th ese warriors an d many were the Misgivings in the h ea rt s of th e Onlookers.

"King Lambert ha s h ea rt en ed hi s Men by say in g, 'T rul y, a ll co nt ests arc di vide d into three Parts. The first of t hese is th e Beginning, in w hi ch yo u must be Sw ift a nd quick to take a n advantage.

The mo s t imp orta nt of th ese is th e Latter.' With these words o ur King se nt hi s Army int o th e Battle

"Verily, the Battle was a n unwi se and misconducted Athe ni a n expedi ti o n against th e Howeites. From afar ca m e th e c ha nt o f citi ze n ry, as the H !1rdcs came to c h eer th eir sta un c h Warriors.

"Dow n in th e Pit , the three g reat Federa l Lords, Leighty the vVanclerer, B o ut o n of the Great Open Spaces, and even Park the Dignified, w ho forsook the Minaret o f the Mosque, toiled lik e Galley Slaves in restoring t h e G l orious Warriors who h a d fallen in the F r ay.

"W h en the first period was over, great was the Exc it ement 111 the Balcony s urroundin g the Co urt yard. David the Red, so n of David the Soo th sayer,

was loudest of them all. Had not House the Incomparable s unk the Sphcfo.id in Jron Ring innumerab le time s? Hilligoss th e had filled the heart of Briggs the Bea utiful with terror, and Branch the Humane had rapppcd Cole the Ungodly upon the Dome, Fulton the Scot had dazzled the Culverites with hi s Hcetness of Foot. The Great Mead was fighting the greatest battle of hi s Life. Wil son the Swift who replaced Fulton the Scot, after he had fallen in the conflict, sorely harra ss ed the Enemy. At the Reckoning it was fount! that \Vil so n the Swift led in the numb er of sca lps taken from the foe. hut Hilligoss tlu: Magnificent and Hou se the Incomparable had almost worn the Nct of the Gladiator threadbare.

"The l\lultitudc sa ng the so ngs of Victory and burned incen se to the name of Goode King Jean. The warrior s res ted and Blair the Cheer Leader and Wood the Agile did incite the Onlookers to even greater Manifestation s of Joy.

" Th e Ifoweite s did take to the Arena for the final Period. Hockett the Scribe did my stify the Culverites by hi s peculiar gallop and dead ly accuracy. Hilligo ss tht Ma gnificent hurled the Spheroid time and again over the head of Dt·Ford the Supercilious into the welcoming ring. Branch the Humane forgot hi s title and awful was the Havoc that he wrought on the Offense of the Enemy. Hockett the Scribe wa s wounded ;111d hi s s hield wa s taken up by hi s co untr) man, H ouse the In comparab le. l\1£cad the Mighty smote Harris the Scornful, and loud were the Lamentations of hi s followers. The Outcome of th e battle wa s inevitable. The J nvader s were beaten and slowly retreating As it neared the time of the t enth wntch Peck the Greatly Touted Aed with a mere Handful of the mu ch vau nted Band who had invaded the Kingdom of the Hnwcitcs. \Vhcn the final co unt was made it was found that the Culverites had s lain hut a few and placed the ball within the Net but THIRTY times. The \Varrior s of Goode King Jean had s l ain many and almost worn the Iron Ring in two with their Thirty-seven times. Pand emonium Reigned.

"But a mere handful of the defeate d Tribe limped homeward toward the South Two of their umber were left with King Lambert as Hostages. These two were found when the Slaves 1Yere cleaning up the scene of the Carnage. King Lambert ordncd these two return ed by Merrit the Meritorious.

" Great wa s the Rejoicing throughout the Land. Feasts and celebrations were held for Forty dar s and Forty night s. A Hi s tory of the Great Conflict wa s kept in the Archive s of Little the Keeper of th e Seal, guarded by Fisher the Angler. Here endcth the Chronicle."

FACULTY- VARSITY GAME

"'What be oasis in th e desert of commonplace offerings 111 the \Yeck s ath let ic act1v1t1es was the final ga me of the Worst Series pb1yed her e March 11, between the much herald ed Faculty Five and the Varsity Squad.

The J'.aculty aggregation was the first to ba t , and Lively deliberatel y and with unerring accuracy teed off for a three base hit , while the re s t of hi s teammates ambolcd. over th e green in high glee. Bouton then got the ball and went the. 1111e for a touchdown and then kicked a goa l, or a go <tler , (I'm not sure w hi ch)

.Mead misse d a l on g. fly out in cente r, and let in another run, while Leighly non chalantly s.t1:etch<'cl 111m sc lf out on the ground and shot a few rounds from prone r o.s 1t1on 0:1 the thousand yard range, which kept the men in the pit bu sy scoring bulls eyes.

Hilligo ss, in c har hc of operation s on the ba ck front, directed a barrage 11 hich crept slowl y bu t uncea singl y forward toward the enemy's lines, and at

the zero hour Lambert, lone handed and alone, nttacked a machine gun nest in rhe enemy territory and made a sacrifice hit, bringing in lrnlf n dozen or six men who were on bases.

Davis with his famous spitball fanned four of the varsity's best in rapid concussion. Hou se made a touch down and Tiny kicked a goal. Capouch grabbed the ball at the tip-off and dribbled down to the ten yard line, but Cha.lmcrs fanned out, retiring the side in the seventh round. Both were wobbly at the bell.

The half was full of line bucking, with both teams m;iking good gains. The Varsity, however, held the Ex -collegians for downs and made substantial progress. In the fifth inning Fulton smashed the puck over the line, Branch lost a skate, and Mead skated down the rink on the back of his neck.

Branch tuned in on KDKA for the final run of the sixth. Hockett, the neutral time keeper, promptly stopped his watch every time the Faculty team was ahead, and as promptly started it again, every time the Varsity aggregation had a lead. It is undoubtedly due to hi s c leverness in manipulating the chronometer that the Varsity got away with t he game.

Parkinson, who acted as stage manager for the attraction responded to the cry of the galleries and extended the hook to Leighly and Bouton, putting Millis in for heavies, and Owen for soubrette parts for the second act. Both were immediately popular with the audience, for their cleverness in reading their lines, and for their conception of the part. 1 he lat'ter comme n dation applies especially to Millis.

Beiderman, who played the juvenile lead, and Morganthaler, the leading lady, were well received by the large and ent hu siastic audie nce that greeted the players. Both have become prominent matinee idols during the theatrical season, and it is hoped they will be seen in stock here again next year.

As soon as the Facu lt y's sh irts got wet their feet began to slip, although even in the most severe crisis Lambert and Mill is chewP.d their gum as placidly as a bovine with its cud.

In the second half vVood served a twister just over the net that ricocheted off Mead's racket, and brought the score back to advantage again. Davis fanned, Leighly went out on a pop-up to second, and Millis was out at first, retiring the side.

During the intermis ion, cute litl c Tiny (that dainty elf whose folkdances have made him so prominent as an entertainer on the campus this year), put on a brief specia lt y while Merritt del ivered an impromptu address to the gallery. His stentorian tones resounding from beam to beam until the rafters rang.

The final h a.If was a repetition of the first, only more o. Readers who want the report of the game in full arc as ked to re-read the foregoing para.graphs. T h e final curtain descended with the scor e 25 to 31 in favor of the Farc it y Squad and the villian still persuader.

Club Basketball 19£lv£5

Greater enthusiasm was shown in th e Cluh basketba ll thi s year than ever before. A ll the iJ:amcs were played in the Middle Sc hoo l gy mna sium on Wednesdny and Saturday afternoons.

The Blakes won the J unio1· Club champ ionship thi s year without mu ch trouble.

The Mack s were able to win but one ga me but gave th e other two Clubs ma n y sc ar es lo sing severa l games by just a few points.

Owing to the fact that the Tatler is go ing t o press so early the achievements of the Te nni s Team cannot b e co mpletel y r ev iewe d.
