HCWITZER The compilation of the 1973 Howitzer was not the work of a few indi- viduals, but required the efforts, cooperation, and coodination of the entire Corps. Recognition must, however, go to the'15O cadets who sacrificed their studies, sleep, and privileges to make this year's book a success. To these people go a special thanks The history of the Howitzer does not go all the way back to 1802 or the days of Colonel Thayer. lt is a'relatively new innovation by West Point standards, dating back to a speech delivered in the 100th Night Show of 1886. The name Howitzer originated as a satirical speech whose remarks were aimed at the Tactical Department. The speaker hoped his remarks, like an artillery howitzer, might be capable of hurling projectiles from a relatively safe position to a vulnerable spot in the enemy defenses. lt became tradition to record these remarks from the show until 1896, then the publication officially became known as Annual of the Corps of Cadets. Today, it has been expanded and refined into a four year his- tory of the graduating class. The editors hope that the readers derive as much pleasure from its pages as they had in piecing the 1973 Howitzer together. LJ 1' f , 1 C -,ff 1 1 ic!!
