 mk Howard Joseph LeClair Mr. LeClair arrived in our midst from the northern metropolis of Bellingham, Wn., entering second year High in 1918. after completing his first year at Assumption High School in the above mentioned town. Howard was born June 17, 1908, in the strangely named town of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Being of a likeable disposition, he lost no time in striking up a friendship with Messrs. I vers and Stunt ., a warm friendship that has bound these three young gentlemen together through school and which seems destined to keep them associated in many respects throughout the rest of their lives. Howard, like his two gifted classmates, has enjoyed success and distinction in everything he has undertaken during his school regime. To play a prominent part in Studies, Dramatics and Debate has always been his happy forte. He has been president of the College Debating Society, has won the Student Body Medal in 1924 and now holds in his Senior year the well deserved and ably executed office of President of the Associated Students. LeClair, like I vers, has taken a deep and earnest interest not to say a leading part in debate and dramatics. The spoken drama has been graced with Howard s presence, he having taken the lead in several of our theatrical efforts. “The Witching Hour saw Howard as the much applauded hero, while his character acting in several other productions has time and again contributed luster and distinction to both the plays and his own enviable reputation. Although a busy man and an industrious student LeClair has often found time to lend his official dignity and support to the College teams in their hard tussles with their athletic foes. On every occasion when school spirit and loyalty was wanted Howard was the man who started the wave of enthusiasm flooding the school. LeClair is this year’s Editor of the Annual and his unwearied efforts and original ideas in the journalistic field stamps the edition as the best vet. Page Twenty-three
