Lava Zami .flclaf Not at the top, but climbing. Several times since we began our career in the halls of this high school, we thought that we were at the top of the ladder only to find. another ring yet to clinib. As freshmen we were fairly convinced, until Fresh- men Day , that we did not have far to go in order to at- tain our ambitionsg as sophomores we were less sure of the fact because of our inability to control the uncontrolable freshmen, and as juniors, although we know now that we still have a long way to go, we can look back over our past three years in Howard High and see many accomplishments of which we can justly be proud. In extra-curricular activities we have been well repre- sented by both the boys and girls. Just to briefly mention our scholastic records, we have left those to the other classes. We are known as the Hpeppiest bunch in the building if not the most brilliant. Initiating the new grade auditorium, we presented to a full house, a rollicking comedy, The Blue Baer. It must have been a success, because the town critics: claimed it to be the best ever. We are tofd they say this to every class, but we continue to feel elated. Plans have been begun for the outstanding social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme has not been announced, but we do hope that the seniors will enjoy it and appreciate our efforts. Perhaps next year when we are dignified seniors, the top rung' of our high school ladder will be reached. Robert Gibbon. 23

ofzciilda Rowing, not drifting September 5, 1937 was an exciting day for 45 fresh- men as it was the beginning of our high school career. W'e wondered if ever before in our short lives we had felt quite so insignificant as now. Under the helpful guidance of our sponsor, Miss Payne, we were taught the rules and regula- tions of H. H. S. Just one week after we had embarked upon our jour- ney, we were initiated by our enthusiastic superiors, the sophomores. The freshman officers were: Richard Young, President, Mary Myers, Vice President: Helen McGreW. Secretary- Treasurerg Menzenita Houser and Jack Blizard, Cheer Leaders: and Waldo Gray, Sargeant-of-A1-ms. Our Stu- dent Council Representative was Frankie Squier. On School Day of the Howard Fall Festival, each high school class entered a float. We were very elated when We received first prize, which enlarged our bank account some ten dollars. One of our classmates. Virgil Jay, broke his leg while playing football and was forced to quit school for the re- mainder of the term. We chose as our class flower, the red carnation, and as our colors, blue and silver. ln the fall of 1938 there were forty members of our old freshmen class to begin as sophomores with a few new faces in the midst. My! we certainly feel much better than we did at this same time a year ago, and We can certainly sympathize with the freshmen of today. We know what lies before them. ln due time we initiated the freshmen and were quite easy on them in comparison to our treatment last year. During the year we have enjoyed several social func- tions, one of the best being the all school Christmas party. We are very proud that five members of our class re- ceived football letters this year. We now feel that we are quite ready to enter into our third year of high school and fill that position quite Well. Helen McGrew. 25
