Here we acquire those principles of honesty, fair play, and good sportsmanship which are essential to American lite. Now before the highlights of the year are recorded in detail, come with us on a photo-and-fact tour of Howe High School. -P -Robeff Selby iv , Y .1-.?,..,,,,.1 Z4 M Me W4 we 0 fo 5c'Ac+of ln our eastside school we spend eight or nine periods a day in studies suited to our individual needs. Since more than half ot us are preparing for midwestern colleges, our school curriculum is largely academic, including a number of advanced elec- tive courses in mathematics, English, languages, and science. For the rest there are exploratory and pre-vocational courses in industrial arts, home economics, nursing, library service, commercial art, commerce, and music. When classes end, we take part in athletics, publications work, club meet- ings, or play rehearsals, according to our particular interests. Programs, pageants, plays, parties, dances, and games give us opportuni- ties for self-expression besides adding greatly to our enjoyment of lite at Howe. Guiding Thomas Carr Howe High School is our genial principal, Charles MacKay Sharp, who believes that our school program of studies and activities should lead toward the development of well-rounded personalities. Don't forget to put that in Monday's bulletin, Mr. Sharp tells Miss Jane Holl, clerk, left, and Miss Virginia Childers, secretary. 2 rr L Hip r ' ' . .. , . .ff X . ,Q - N K 2 ig x f s Q iv E 25553 X' hi' M at . 3 ,- as A as ,. ,...

Selecting The trend is on the up-grade at Howe as the theme, a group of Howe students set about planning such a production. The first essential was to raise the money for the yearbook. Chester Gray, subscription manager, and Ann Holloway, business manager, successfully carried the campaign over the goal of 1,000 subscriptions. With the financing literally assured, the staff set out on a picture- taking spree, with Bob Stitt, staff photographer, and the commercial photographer sharing pictorial honors. John Thomas, editor-in-chief, Patricia Myers, associate editor, Jean Huston, picture editor, Anna Jane Bash, class editor, Ethelda Keiter, activities editor, and Don Clapp, sports editor, each supervised the picture taking for the individual sections. Joe Pesut, staff cartoonist, drew the cartoons for the yearbook. The speed-graphic camera with which Bob Stitt took his pictures was purchased by the Howe Tower and HILLTOPPER. Then with the aid of proportion wheels, rubber cement, and the other members of the staFf, Mary Alys Werkhoff, and Lois Knapp, co- layout editors, laid out the picture panels. When the pictures were on their way to the engraver, the trend was copy-ward, with Joan Lanman and Wanda Pflueger as copy editors. When the proofs were returned, the pages were assembled in correct order and the proofs were carefully read. Finally a careful last minute check was made, and the assembled proof went to the printer to be run for the finished yearbook. MUSIC AT HOWE . . Mr. Frank S. Watkins and Mr. Beldon C. Leonard, music di- rectors, are shown discussing the score for the operetta, Norwegian Nights. Howe's music department has gained a repu'I'aticn tor excellence. Both its choral and instrumental groups have been invited to perform publicly many times. Four years ago the department had a band, orchestra, and several choruses. Since then it has grown to include classes in harmony and music ap- preciation as well as the choral and instrumental organizations. Norwegian Nights, an operetta based on the lite of Edvard Grieg, a Nor- wegian composer, was presented by the choir on November 6-7. The part ot Edvard Grieg was played by Ian Laing and his sweetheart, Nina, by Jo Ellen Burroughs. iSee page T7 for picture.l Others in the cast were John Milam,William McClellan, Hal Silver, Cortland Shea, Dorisieane Spiess, James Milligan, Melvin Shirey, Edward Payne, Virginia Schwarz, Betty LaMasters, Marion Mutz, Patty Delks, Alys Lawson, Betty Lou Roth, Robert Montgomery, Ruby Jordan, William Sides, Henry Wollenweber, Jack Sides, James Iverson, and William Prater.

Ve All - 1 4 VARSITY ENDS SEASON WITH A RUSH Our basketball squad put together a I2 won and 8 lost record this year for the best varsity season in the history of the school. They closed the regular schedule with a six game winning streak. Coach GiIfoy's boys opened the season with a 32-22 decision over Broad Ripple in a game which was marred by typical first of the season errors. Jack Jones topped all scorers by making II points. On the following night, however, in our first regularly scheduled game ever to be played against Tech, we suc- cumbed to a 32-23 count after leading 9 to 4 at the termination of the initial period. Following the City Tourney, the varsity fell before Shortridge by the clos- est of margins, 22-2I . Our keenest rival, Manual, was our last city opponent on the schedule. Play- ing nip and tuck all the first half, we led 24-22 at the intermission. The pause, before the outbreak, took place in the third quarter, as our Hornets scored only one point. Then came the deluge with everyone on the team tallying points as we pushed the count up 20 points so that the final score read, 45-33. Jack Bu- chanan and Bob Houck led the scoring parade with I2 points each. Our spell over the Redskins remains unchallenged as our varsity has yet to fall before the Southsiders. For the season, Buchanan, a iunior, tallied the greatest number of points, scoring I64, while Houck and Ed Holloway trailed with l25 and IO6 totals, re- spectively. Buchanan was honored for his outstanding play during the entire year, when he received the most valuable player trophy awarded by the Men's 400 Club. LETTERMEN'S CLU B FIRST ROW-Sponsor George P.

Assuming the lead in the first period of the first game of the tourney, the Hornets held command 29-17 going into the final quarter. Then with four minutes remain- ing, the Cardinals began a rally which with a streak of careless ball-handling by our boys almost cost us the game. ln the game with the Green and VVhite, Jack Buchanan sent our Hornets off to an 8-5 lead at the first quarter with two buckets. This was shortened to 14-12 at the half, then Bob Evans led Tech to a 25-22 leadership at the close of the third period. After Buchanan tied the score at 29 all, Don Clapp sent our five ahead with only 20 seconds remaining. A Big Green reserve then deadlocked the score. lt was Buchanan who again sent us into the fore in the overtime. A Tech bas- ket then ended our Sectional hopes. Although this shot missed, the Hornets began hitting in the last quarter, how- ever, the late rally fell short as Short- ridge won 22-21. CITY TOURNAMENT After advancing to the finals of the City Tourney by virtue of a victory over Broad Ripple, our netmen fell before the attack of Washington's Continentals, 35-33 in the night tilt. Our team met the Broad Ripple five Saturday afternoon in a game which went as expected, our team running away from the Northsiders after the ini- tial quarter, with the final count reaching 35-13. ln a fast tilt which saw many fouls committed and roughness prevail, Wash- ington was crowned city champ after a hard fight. At the close of the first quar- ter, our Hornets held a 9-7 lead. Lester Berry and Don King then conducted the .lonesboys to a 21-16 halftime leader- ship. Jack Buchanan and Ed Holloway led a rally in the final period which at one time closed the gap to one point, but a counter offensive in the final minutes enabled the Washington team to tri- umph. N EW RECORDS ESTABLISH ED Bob Houck, iunior hook-shot artist, led the list of records broken during the past season as he shot in 7 fielders cmd an equal number of free throws for a total of 21 points, February 14, in the Silent Hoosier tilt. Robby Collins set the previous mark of 19 points in an encounter against Greenfield last year. Also tossed into discard on the same night was the team scoring record, established at 50 points against the Silent Hoosiers, which stood for only one year as it was raised to 53 against the same team this season. Another team record was made extinct when our hardwooders finished the season with a 12 won and 8 lost record as compared with the record of 1 1 and 9 hung up last season.

KEEP UP FINE STANDARD OF PLAY Our reserve basketballers, under the coaching of Mr. Wathen Leasor, kept up the reputation they made for themselves last year as they went through competition this season winning 14 and losing 4. They ended the season with 7 triumphs in a row. With five games remaining on the schedule Mr. Sherman Pittenger replaced Coach Leasor, who was granted a leave of absence due to illness. Playing in the first game of the City Tourney, our team opened with an impressive 35-9 win over Broad Ripple's reserve five. ln their second en- counter, the boys couldn't find the range, even at the free throw line, but battling all the way, the Hornets were only beaten by a 9 point margin, 22-13. The end of the season winning splurge was made possible by some great team play and the long range shooting of Bob Cole. Frank Fleener, who led the squad in total points, garnering 122, and Bill Watson were advanced to the varsity for the Sectionals. ln addition, Bob Banks, Cole, Bill Hanafee, and Dick Whallon are prospects for varsity berths next season.

Kelley's freshmen boys turned in the best record of a frosh basketball squad in the history of the school's short existence. A combination of height, speed, and drive enabled this year's team to win 10 games while losing 6. Included on the victory side of the ledger was a win over Tech, which had one of the city's strongest teams. Another of their wins was a forfeit since Speedway had to move most of its freshmen to the reserve squad. Arnold Koehler, tall center, led the rhinie offensive by making 111 tallies. Others showing promise as future reserve and varsity material in- clude Captain Max Fullen, Joe Bunch, Bob Bennett, and Ed Broden.

They were Ralph Toney, Leroy Bartlett, and Alan Crapo, dashmen, Art Graham and Joe Morrisey, hurdles, David Phelps, pole vault, and Bartlett, Don Durbin, Morrisey, and Toney on the half-mile relay team. In addition to this, our track team finished a close third in the City Meet, made a good showing in the Southport Relays by scoring TIM points, and compiled a season's record of seven wins and but three losses, while the half-mile relay team remained unbeaten until the State Finals in which they won Iaurels by taking fifth place. Capturing more first places than any other school, our Hornets came within I I points of Tech, the champions. Toney was high scorer for the meet with I2M points, while Graham stood out with eight points. Consistent scorers on the squad included Art and Bob Alexander, Jim Wade, Dick Dobbs, Ed Andrews, Floyd Bicknell, Bob Mannfeld, Bob Winter, Jim Iverson, and those who ran in the State Meet. The season's record follows: Howe-99Ma, Pendleton-35M, Howe-74, Southport-61, Howe-91, Greenfield-24, Howe-85, Shelbyville-30, Howe- ll I, Markleville-36, Broad Ripple-18, Howe-56, Washington-ol, Howe-50, Warren Central-67, Howe-78M, Silent Hoosiers-I SM, Howe-54, Blooming- ton-55. In meets with Tech, Shortridge, and Washington our freshmen failed to win a victory. HOLD FIRST ANNUAL ALL-CITY RUN Howe's thinly-clads captured second place in the first annual All-City Cross- country Championship Run held on the Howe course after compiling a sea- son's record of four wins, three defeats, and a tie in a triangular meet. Mike Mascari of Manual had the distinction of being the first individual winner as he toured the course in 9 minutes, 7.8 seconds. Bob Mannfeld fol- lowed Mascari to the finish and received a medal along with Bob Banks of Howe, who also finished in the first ten. After losing the first two meets of the season to Manual, 28-27, and to Southport, 31-24, the Hornets ran in a triangular run in which they tied Ben Davis at 30 and won over Broad Ripple, whose point total reached 60. Following a 25-30 loss to Warren Central, Mannfeld led in a I9-36 defeat of Washington. Our Eastside rivals, Tech, were downed next, 23-32. As the final warm-up before the All-City Meet, our harriers iourneyed to Bloomington and came off with their third straight win, 22-33. Manual was too much of a powerhouse in the Howe-sponsored All-City Meet as we came in second with a 53 point total as compared with the victors' 24. The other schools finished in the following order: Washington 73, Tech 76, and Broad Ripple 99. At the close of the season Mannfeld and Floyd Bicknell were elected co-captains.

Highlighting the season was a trip to Bloomington, where our linksmen en- gaged the local golfers. A 4M-7M defeat was the result of the trip. ln city com- petition a 7-5 victory was scored over Shortridge in revenge for two previous lk-l0M losses which had been suffered from the Blue Devils. Another local loss was absorbed from Tech's foursome, 4-8. Other meets resulted in victories over Southport, 8-4 Franklin, 8M-3M and 9-3, Speedway, HM-W, while a 3-9 de- feat and a 6-6 tie were received at the hands of Bloomington and Greencastle, respectively. Bill Hanafee was the season's medalist with a 79. Those who competed in the matches were Leland Dickerson, Arnold Koehler, Dick Bowsher, and Hanafee. Their season's record and good showing in the State Meet at Speedway may be traced to the fine coaching of Mr. Fred C. Lemley and constant practice on the Pleasant Run course.

From February 1941 to April 1942-that's 14 months. Yes, for 14 months the 14 members ofthe 1942 HILLTOPPER staff worked cmd schemed to make Howe's second year- book. ln February 1941 we started planning the Rainbow Ball, one of two annual night dances, which were great aids in financing the book. Before June we had a fairly definite theme. One scorching July day several of us met to work on the dummy. The top picture shows Jean Huston and Don Clapp, picture and sports editors, figuring layout proportions. Next, Mary Alys Werkhoff and Lois Knapp, co-layout editors, trimmed and mounted pictures for engraving. This was an October to February iob. Undoubtedly all seniors recognize Mr. Charles Porter who has iust told a photogenic victim to say, Peaches. Bob Stitt, our school photographer, is reloading the Howe Speed-Graphic and below him is Mr. William Watson, from the Ramos-Porter Studio, who shot all home rooms, and many activities. ln the next picture the editor and associate editor watch an engraver at work. Mr. Fred Noer and the Indianapolis Engraving Company were of great assistance in planning and producing our yearbook. Our business staff, Ann Holloway and Chester Gray, are shown the inside story of printing by Mr. Ralph Klare at Clarence Crippin and Son, printers. Choosing the perfect cover for our book was a real problem. The last picture shows Ethelda Keiter, club editor, and Anna Jane Bash, class editor, viewing our choice, a product of Kingsport Press Inc., Chicago. Through those,14 months of toil we had the help of Mrs. Ruth Marie Griggs, without whose ideas and guidance our book could never have been completed. We thank the E. R. Moore Company of Chicago for the caps and gowns we used in the graduation picture, Mr. Merle Wimmer, sponsor of the Howe photography staff, Miss Anna K. Suter, who often came to our assistance with her mathematical wizardry, and Miss Florence Guild, who advised us on technical English and literary style. Now, here you have the result, the 1942 HILLTOPPER, of which we are proud. We hope that you enioyed reading and looking at it as much as we enioyed producing it. jcfnny dna! pai
