During its three short years of existence the school has created for itself a background of records and achieve- ments, representing many hours of careful planning, un- selfish labor, and joyful service on the part of the faculty, principal, parents, pupils, and friends. Leaf through these pages of historical significance and enter the make-believe portals of this book, to view the factors that have contributed to make Thomas Carr Howe High School our realized dream. For many years the residents of Irving- ton and other east-side districts persistently worked for a new high school. The pur- chase of the site known as Violet Hill was the first step toward the realization of their dream. Mrs. Louis W. Bruck, then president of the Irvington Union of Clubs, turned the first spade of earth from Violet Hill four years ago on May 28, l937, at the ground breaking ceremonies. Cn November lO, l937, Mr. DeWitt S. Morgan, superintendent of schools, presided at the corner stone laying. Under the stone was placed the Bible, the United States flag, the lndianapolis Star, News, Times, Public School News, minutes of the board, history of the lrvington Union of Club's efforts to obtain the school for the community, biog- raphies of Thomas Carr Howe, and William Forsythe, well-known Irvington artist. The trowel used by Allan W. Boyd, then presi- dent of the Board of School Commissioners, was presented to the school by Mr. A. B. Good, business director of the Board of School Commissioners. The dedication ceremonies for Thomas Carr Howe High School took place on Thursday, September 29, l938, presided over by Mr. DeVVitt S. Morgan. The dedica- tion speech was made by Carl Wilde, then president of the Board of School Commis- sioners, and was accepted by Mr. Hilton U. Brown, prominent citizen of lndianapolis. At a signal from Mr. Charles MacKay Sharp, principal, the clock in the tower was started, signifying the official beginning of Thomas Carr Howe High School. Howe High School opened its doors for the first time in September, l938, to four hundred and fifty students. There were approximately three hun- dred and forty-nine freshmen, and one hundred sophomores who came from the other high schools. When the school opened, the library had few books to which the students could refer. To fill up these empty shelves, the Parent-Teacher Association, under the chairmanship of Mrs. T. M. Weesner, spon- sored a book shower in March, l939. Mrs. C. U. Watson and loe Watson Cpicturedl were among those who gave their services in collecting the 3,000 books donated to the school by friends. Near the beginning of the semester a demand came for a school publication. A staff was organized and a contest to name the school's newspaper was sponsored by this staff on March 29, l939. lean Huston and Ann Link Cpicturedl look at a contest poster. uf 7ZUz' ea? The first Pageant of Achievement, celebrating the second birthday of the ground breaking of the school, was held on Friday, May 26, l939, on the school campus. Margaret Gordon reigned as first Violet Queen attended by Eileen Edwards, Marilyn Behymer, Ella Nora Tomlinson, and lo Ann Harmon. Robert Winter represented the Philosopher. 3? Ll? 26014 Gur second year's enrollment almost doubled that of the tirst year, mounting to approximately seven hundred and thirty- two students. This growth of the school brought need for a full-sized gymnasium and lunchroom. The new gymnasium is shown as it looked last year when under construction. The first activity held in the wing was the First Nighter Dance, sponsored by the publica- tion staffs. The school celebrated the third anni- versary of its ground breaking with the sec- ond annual Pageant ot Achievement on May 29, l94O. luanita Davis was chosen by the student body from a group of five can- didates to reign as Violet Queen with loan Campbell, Clyde Holder, luanita Godfrey, and Patricia Swayne acting as attendants. Hal Silver impersonated the Spirit of the Tower. The annual citizenship plaque award, given by the American Legion Post No. 38 of lrvington to the outstanding junior boy and girl, was presented to Marilyn Behymer and Tom Reese. T 11 3 uf 7ZZ'zoZ M42 The enrollment of the school passed the 1,000 mark during the tall semester of 1940. Lawrence Born was the one thousandth pupil to enter the school. The present enrollment is approximately l,065. The tirst activity ot the term was the Gold and Brown Dance sponsored by the Hill- topper staff and seniors on October 18, 1940, in the school gymnasium. Ann Holloway and Richard Eichenauer were chosen the first Golden Girl and Brown Boy by the votes of pupils who subscribed to the Hilltopper yearbook. The first home varsity basketball game was played with Broad Bipple on the night ot the dedication ot the gymnasium, Friday, November 29, 1940. Before the game started Mr. De'Witt S. Morgan, superintendent of schools, gave a short talk. Mr. Harvey B. Hartsock, then president of the Board ot School Commissioners, gave the dedicatory address, which was accepted by Mr. Duke Hanna, representative ot the lVIen's 400 Club. 7 7 iw ,wa 1 'Ef?5?M ,Q . ggi ,AVF at yay.

This was proved at the Roman dinner which was given before Christmas. Sixty-five costumed guests were served a Roman menu in true Roman fashion. Entertainment in the form of music and dancing was presented between courses. Before the last course a sacrifice was performed to the gods. The club sponsored the annual Latin contests which are open to all Latin students and are modeled after the State contests. Sixty-seven students entered the contest this year. Two persons in each grade of Latin received awards, a medal for first place and a ribbon for second place. The club corresponds with Latin clubs in three other schools in the state with whom they exchange ideas. A two-act play, Venus Drops a Bomb, which was written by Miss Pollitt, was presented at one of the meetings. Part of the script of this play was in Latin. Melville Weesner and Marjorie Weber are consulesp Buthanne Gossom and Dorothy Pray, scriptores, and Miss Narcie Pollitt, sponsor. omu ,fdfinum CORNU LATINUM, the monthly publication of the Latin department, is edited by selected students of Miss Narcie Pollitt's advanced classes.

Our entry into the sporting world has been one which will be looked upon favorably by Hornets of the future.

Nan ,re Imliurmjmlix 'l'imu.s M With the formation of a cross country team in the fall of l938, soon after the beginning of school, Howe's Hornets embarked upon their athletic career. 'This squad consisted of eight freshmen and two sophomores. These ten were picked from seventy-eight possibilities. The freshmen were Floyd Bicknell, Bob Hinkle, Bob Hook, lack Whited, Iohn Milam, lack lones, Alan Crapo, and Don Clapp. Bob Winter and Carl Barnes were the sophomores. In this basketball season of l938-89, we had only a freshman and reserve squad. This first basketball team appears below. The freshmen track team of the spring of l989 made excellent showings in all of its con- tests. ln the City Freshman Track and Field Meet that year, our Hornets came very close to defeating the perennial Tech champions. 27214 -Qz'Afez'Zc5 . . . Don Brown, Bob Boyd, and Captain Chester Gray are the boys who have turned out for our sports events ,. to lead us in our cheers for the teams. Floyd Bicknell took both the 880 yard and the mile run, and Arthur Graham took bothhurdla events. Art also set a new city freshman record for the l2O yard high hurdles of :l8.3 and a rect ord of :2O.7 for the low hurdles. Tech won the meet with 7U3A points and Howe ran second with 53M points. The near victorious Hornets: brought home approximately thirty ribbons: and the freshman hurdle records. Howe also won two dual meets and placecl second in two other trio meets that season. l-lowe's first basketball squad, a reserve team, was composed of, left to right, top row: Ray Bansdell, Don Pfeiffer, loe Bruno, Wayne Foster, loe Maloof. Bottom row, left to right: Carl Barnes, Duke Hanna, Bob Collings, Fred Sorrells, Francis Muthaii. I e if Gut Qmnddiu Here at Howe, basketball has become one of our major sports, and with the acquisition of a new gymnasium and a varsity team, basketball interest really has been aroused. Our first teams were only freshman and reserve, who, because of the lack of an adequate gymnasium at Howe, were forced to play and practice in rented church gymnasiums. The present members of our varsity team were once members of these first freshman and reserve teams. Their practice on these teams, together with the stabilizing effect of our own gym, has made it possible for us to have a successful season this year. Gur Hornets started the season off right with a jinx-breaking victory over Broad Bipple's Rockets, before a capacity crowd in our new gymnasium, November 29, 1949. According to superstition, no school ever Wins a dedication tilt, but Howe was victor in this one with a 25-to-l7 score. In spite of a rather jittery first quarter, the Hornets, led by Don Pfeiffer and Don William- son, jumped into a l3-to-6 halftime advantage. Don Clapp, Kenny Burns, and Pfeiffer stretched this to 19 to l2 at the end of the third period. The reserves then came in and we coasted to a 25-to-l7 victory. This was only one of our many surprises on the basketball floor. Another surprise was scored against Greenfield, last year's Greenfield sectional champs, to the tune of 37 to 31. Bob fBobbyl Collins burnt up the floor as he tallied up l9 points for the Hornets. H very thrilling game was the second Man- ual game, in which Howe grabbed an early lead as Bob Collins sank two long ones in rapid 174 Don Clapp watches the jump between Kenny Burns and a Broad Ripple player during the dedication game. sequence. Manual then came back and led us l3 to 12 at the half. In the third period, Carl Barnes, jim Wade, and Collins helped us pass up the Redskins, and we led 2l to 20 at the beginning of the final stanza. Don Williamson hit two fielders for our only points that quarter, and Garrett, Philips, and Wilson, of Manual, scored five points to tie the game as the gun sounded. The game went into an overtime in which Wade made a hotly contested charity shot, put- ting Howe out in front. Williamson went under and scored the final points and the game ended with Howe on the long end of a 28-to-25 decision.

The Brown and Gold was represented very brilliantly this season in tournament competition when the hornets were runners-up in the City Tournament and advanced to the semi-finals in the Sectional Tourney. Howe went into the City Tourney a decided underdog, but our astounding win over Manual, last year's City Champs, 30 to 24, roused even the more conservative bystanders. Manual grabbed an early lead in the tilt, and Don Clapp hit a fielder to score Howe's only points in the first quarter. Bob Collins brought us within striking distance of the Bedskins in the second period when he scored two tallies. ln the second half Collins dropped in five more buckets, and Don Williamson, Carl Barnes, and Don Pfeiffer each scored as we pulled away to a decisive victory. Collins captured scoring honors in this tilt with seven fielders and a charity toss. In the final game, Howe was beaten by the Tech Greenies after a game fight, 35 to 24, but regardless of the loss there was much spirit shown for our runner-up Hornets. In the Sectional Tournament, a strong Franklin Township quintet, which went to the county finals a month before the sectionals, was tripped up by our cagers, 33 to 23. Bob Collins nabbed the open- ing tip-off of the game and a little later scored a fielder. Howe took a l4 to 6 lead at the end of the first quarter, 21 to l2 at the half, 27 to 18 at the end of the third period, and stretched this to a 33 to 23 win at the end of the final stanza. After this tiring game with Franklin, our Hor- nets fell victim to a flashy Speedway five. As a result of a two-hour rest advantage on our own team, the Sparkplugs took us for a nine-point ride, with a final score of 3l to 22. C oach Lewis W. Gilfoy deserves credit for his splendid handling of our varsity cagers, for under his excellent supervision our surprising Hornets have gone farther than any other school of our size and age.

As soon as construction was started on our school in 1936, Work was also begun in clearing ground for our athletic field. The Well-sodded field was corn- pleted in the fall of 1940, and various school activities have taken place on it since then. The quarter-mile track, encircling the field, has an extraordinarily long straightaway for the dashesg and adequate facilities havefbeen added to accommodate track and field events, football, softball, and field hockey. The high-jump area is at the east end. of the field, the shot-put on the south side, and the pole vault and broad jump pits and runways are on the north side of the field. A small concrete building houses track and field equipment at the West end of the field. The athletic field's position in front of the building, and the compactness of our campus and buildings make the school plant one of the most efficient in the city. 3. ,Qt T2 I -f fi ' I jf L f X -bfi V M ut 7210 ...... dna! 62055 ounify . ff he cross country run was the first sport engaged in by 1-Iowe's gf ,ef A athletes, and our runners accomplished great things for so young a squad. Track and field followed soon, and the two squads proceeded to A show the other schools that Howe's Harriers were to be reckoned with. t eyes toward the future. In the first cross country varsity season, 1939, our Hornets distinguished themselves by winning four runs, losing two, and taking sec- ond in a trio meet. Their conquests included Warren Central and the Indiana Boys School. T he 1940 schedule included four won and six lost. Our first win last season was over Southport, when Art Alexander, Bob Winter, lack Whited, Bob Mannfeld, and Floyd Bick- nell took all the places from third to seventh to win, 25 to 30. Broad Ripple was next to fall when Howe placed their first five in the first six places to win, 20 to 35. Howe's Harriers won a close one from Washington, 26 to 29, when lack Whited took second, Bob Winter, fourth, Bob Mannfeld, fifth, Phil Lasley, sixth, and Art Alexander, ninth. The last run of the season was against Tech. Our Harriers barely edged out the other eastside thinlies, 27 to 28. Bob Winter placed second, Phil Lasley, fourth, Art Alex- ander, sixth, lack Whited, seventh, and Bob Today, both teams are going strong, and we are casting very hopeful Howe's first varsity track squad finished their season with three wins, one tie, and five losses. Those defeated were Beech Grove, Noblesville, and the Indiana Deaf School, The most impressive victory was over Beech Grove, when our thinlies won, 101 to 11. Howe took all thirteen firsts, eleven seconds, and four thirds. T hose boys who took first in their events were: Ralph Toney, 100-yard dash, lack Whited, mile run, Bob Alexander, 440-yard run, Arthur Graham, 120-yard high and low hurdles, Bob Schneider, 880-yard run, Don Durbin, 220-yard dash? Dick Dobbs, high jump, lack Iones, tie in pole vault, Dick Eichenauer, shot put, Iames Wade, broad jump, and both the mile and half- mile relays. Other outstanding athletes were Alan Crapo, Iohn Risch, Ed Andrews, Art Alexander, and lames lverson. O ur meet with Shelbyville was outstand- ing, in that the meet was a tie, 58-up.

Mr. George P. Farkas and Mr. Lewis W. Gilfoy donated their time to pro- vide excellent umpiring. Ioe Bruno, and his hard-hitting batters from Home Boom 27 won the tourney last fall. Most of these fellows also participated in a touch football league later in the year. iw l uf -Qzffefej SOFTBALL Softball is a sport in which Howe's girls ex- cel. Last September, four teams were organized and a tournament ensued. The four team cap- tains were: Martha Lee Spratt, Bonnie Van Treese, Betty Bohrman, and Mildred Faubion. Anna Wessel otticiated throughout the season. Mildred Faubion umpires, while Bonnie Van Treese catches for batter, Anna Wessel. ARCHEBY Last year, archery became a favorite sport with girl athletes at Howe. Archery has become so popular that two groups have been organized. Individual competition will begin this spring. Mary Kathryn Huber, Lois Knapp, and Ruth Davis examine the target. BASKETBALL Girls basketball is a sport which was started this spring. Captains of the six teams are: Betty Rohrman, Nancy Ostrander, Mary Schafer, Mar- ion Mutz, luanita Davis, and Catherine Power. Betty Myers is on the alert as Mary Schafer guards Juanita Davis. For participating in these various activities under the direction of Miss Ruby Lou Lillard, girls' sports director, all girls are eligible for awards from the Girls' Athletic Association. These awards are based on points which are obtained through organized school activities such as table tennis, volley ball, and those pic- tured above. Points may also be obtained through various physical tests and outside sport- ing activities. 2 lg E 2 2 4 1 5: mi 51 3 E. 5. 1 I X 3: Q.
