In IBS4 the D1alCCtlC Society presented a play called W-fhe l-lowitzerf' and in cooperation therewith published a small pamphlet containing: the program, several good addresses by first classmen and a Hgrindn section. Their object was clearly expressed in an a la fin :- And now we roll our lanyard up, Our l-lowitzer is fired. A To all we drink a farewell cup Before the gun's retired. as as as as as t Good humor was our bursting charge, t The explosions only laughter. t ln l896, the first year book was edited, with the idea of perpetuating certain events of Corps interest and of presenting a tangible picture of Cadet life to those interested in the Academy, its development and traditions. Since 1896, the Howitzer has gradually grown until it has reached its present form, endeavoring always to preserve the best and most typical 'phases of West Point life. V ' 6
