McMullen, the super Science and Group Guidance student, began his eventful career the same year. Mac is one of the smoking room standbys. Corporal Stall, the third occupant of room 6, rush- ed out of Detroit one morning to be a cadet-1935. His speed in getting places has dwindled a little since then. 'tDave Esler, CSSD, another furniture man from Grand Rapids, enrolled as a two year student-he graduates an Alpha Tau member. Nice work, son. CilyH Olson, mail orderly extraordinary, was determ- ined in 1935, that the whole world would someday know that Green Bay was on the map, so he joined up with the Howe scribblers . . . he was also a peach of a basketball captain. Big Bill Tanne- hill, the tennis mentor, left Kalamazoo to occupy a high position in Howe ath- letics. Hutchie Hutchinson, who is noted for his disposition HD, graduates as a Sergeant. f'Mouse Mounsey and t'Scud Scudder, the outdoor boys of the third floor, came here in 1935 for a two year course- Send is a crack shot with a fish pole, QPortsmouth, Ohiol, and Mouse is fairly good with a rifle -Iowa must be a fine place for practic- ing. Toddie Todd, the violin man from Pontiac, also plays the baritone in the band . . . f'Toddie', is also a Sahgent. The band will miss you, Mark. This class History would not be com- plete without a good word for the new boys, who have accepted responsibilities, and borne them like old timers. Jack Kulms is one of these boys-a tough luck man of football, but a Varsity H winner in spite of his injuries. Mel Humphrey has shown himself, throughout the year, as worthy of the stripes he now carries. Herbie Twad- dle, President of the Midnight Oil Club , is the star student of the class, even though he doesn't sleep for weeks at a time l l His goal is Annapolis-may Howe's training prove useful to this fu- ture Finsign. B-arneyw Barnes is the quiet lad of the graduates. f'Barney will succeed in anything he does because of this enviable characteristic. Fish Fisher, one of Tannehillls pal and beer buddies from Kalamazoo, has the dis- tinction of being the most annoying mem- ber of the class, because I nearly left him out of this class history. Fish7', a future Alumnus of Manchester College, has been an addition to this year's band, with his clarinet. 'iCdie Remington, a man about Indianapolis, gives the Sen- ior class a slight touch of merry old Eng- land and the Bushwhacker's. Best wishes to a future Prime Minister. 'tPeckusH Peck, from Allegan, Michigan, must have learned to play the drums at the Holland Tulip Festival, because he 's mighty good. Charlie is the constant worry of Presi- dent Twaddle, and C' Curls Temple, due to his proficiency along scholastic lines. Jim Howland of Detroit, has been a cadet whom officers delight to work with-his willingness to listen to helpful sugges- tions, and his courtesy, will be remem- bered when future officers speak of the Class of 1937. Throughout the year, this class has improved, it has accomplished its pur- poses. We feel, although we have not been letter-perfect, we have, by consist- ant efforts, developed a cla.ss which the Patrons, Faculty, Staff, and Alumni should look upon with pride. Our best wishes are for the success of the Class of 1938-we hope that they hnd, within the pages of this Tatler, a helping hand to their problems of the future. P. S. lf T have touched anything but the hearts of the Senior class, I humbly apologize, mainly because there are thirty-three of them. -CARL Mora, JB.

CLASS HISTGRY Tl1e Senior class of 1937 has more than the normal number of cities and towns represented by its members. This year has been very successful for every boy in tl1e class. They all have accomplished, throughout tl1e year, exactly what they came to do, to acquire knowledge. VVith this in mind, we shall see where tl1e boys came from, and when they entered Howe. From tl1e huge metropolis of Spring- port, Michigan, came t'Farmer Sorrick one of the oldest veterans of the class. HFELI'111Q1',, left Springport in 1929, the same year that Swede Johnson, tl1e one man furniture factory, blew into tl1e Lower School, determined to graduate or else. 'fCasanova Boaks, from Detroit, made up the trio. , The next year, Ed Shelby, a drummer in tl1e band, entered the Lower School, where he learned the art of graduating. Ed leaves us a 2nd Lieutenant . . . good work! Late one evening in the fall of 1932, 'tDwarf Spencer's train stopped in Howe for some reason or other. Dwarf'7 decided to drop into Coach Krum's Ca- sino for a snifter or two. Wlhile in the act, Major Little sighted the eornely lad, and this year Jack graduates a Cadet Major, and mainstay of the tennis squad. Lots of luck in the factory Jack! 'tl-lousel' Hallowell, from Chicago, en- tered the gates of Howe as a private in 1932, and this year he leaves us a Cap- tain. Here's wishing you success. HPERLIIJGIJ7 Duenweg followed Hallo- well's example, entering the Lower School in 1932. Jack made a tine Pla- toon Lieutenant. He is from a little town, somewhere in lVestern Indiana, called Terre Haute, I believe. Ulhlhackie ltathien Rathbun, tl1e cultured Captain Adjutant, stopped over in Howe one night in 1932 to see what could be done concerning tl1e efficiency of tl1e military department. Johnnie graduates with more stripes than the smoking room has chairs. Dave Mote entered the Low- er School along with the boys. He is the Captain of Company BH, and a member of the Old Guard. His conduct record is flawless, and he's a good ex- ample for the boys in ranks to follow. His brother ..... l forget the name right now, wanted to have something to butch abo11t, so he entered Howe in 19332, primarily, to heckle Sarge . In 1933, he joined the band, playing a baritone ever since. He graduates a 1st Lieu- tenant, but Sarge thinks he should be the Major! 1933 was a memorable year, and what a year it was. First of all, Curls Temple, otherwise known as HCurly Temple, dusted off his slidebone, came to Howe to play in the band, made it, and is now graduating a full-fledged 2nd Lieutenant. 'tCurly hails from the wine center, Sandusky, Ohio. Chief Meyer, another band member, left one ,prison in Michigan City and came right into another one. Chief is tl1e top bass horn player-mainly because he is the o11ly one in that organization strong enough to carry it. Denny De- Noyelles, tl1e lst Platoon leader of Co. B, joined the cadets with Chief Mey- er and Curly Temple. His leadership is a credit to tl1e Sword and Sheath Club. 'tSatch Gabriel, the ttA.ll Ameri- can Boy , began his colorful career in the Middle School . . . he leaves Howe this year, with a 2nd Lieutenant's com- mission hidden in his suitcase. Mike Beam is tllG only member of tl1e 1937 class who arrived at Howe in 1934. 'tMike is the Drum Major of the band, and a line one, well as the iirst liute player of tl1e orchestra. Giant Gentry from way down South, down in south Jackson, Michigan, first saw ,Howe in 13125. hecainc the Sports Editor of the Howe l'-leralcl, the Vaptain of baseball, and a hard worker on the Tatler. The Howe weekly owes inucli of its success to the consistent el'- l'orts of this little follow. Hli2llll'l2lj',y
