he Howe Building An equally exciting day in the school year was that clear May morning when the spanking new Howe Science Building opened under student government operation. Officially named the Dr. R. Heber Howe Science Building, in honor of Belmont Hill's first headmaster, the building contained much-needed classroom, 'study hall, and laboratory facilities. Not only was the dedication of the building appro- priate in that Dr. Howe was the first headmaster of the school, but it also recognized his life-long interest in the natural and scientiic world. Dr. Howe, while headmaster, taught natural science in the faculty room annex until his death in 1939. The successful student operation of the building in the few short weeks it was open might also be considered as a trib- ute to this man who believed that there was some good in every boy, and who tried to substitute under- standing for discipline. Delay followed delay in the construction of the building and it almost appeared as though the class of 1957 would not see the opening, but finally that morning came when the two upper forms met in the spacious, panelled study hall to hear the Headmas- ter's few words of opening. A dream had come true. Like the completion of the articial hockey rink a few months earlier the events that were taking place did not seem as if they could really be happening. Even as the Headmaster spoke, window-washers and painters were performing their last-minute chores, and carpenters downstairs were still working on two of the luxurious laboratories. Although the class of 1957 occupied the building for but a few weeks, no other graduating class will ever see the Howe Building so fresh and new, and no other graduating class can ever claim the distinction of having been the first such class to use the building. The interest shown by the Sixth Form in the day- to-day running of the building was a living example of the Working Together spirit that pervades Bel- mont Hill, as was the construction of the building it- self. The whole-hearted support of the Belmont Hill family in this bold undertaking reflected the same cooperative spirit. 7 ,, s .. an . y. .... .. ,n w . fi -, M .-gf '-.gg e f-4-aisga-fv,f1,1at-ffag - . - vt t -' , .,.L.-- -1- sa-'. , 512 ' -V 4 'fe 3 V it - a t Kel li e ' - . iam r -'4 I il El i2.llll l5li:lllll ' ff l iliawigtjs we ge t .. - g ,i...,,,,, - - cf sa .... 5355 in is -' FF.. 1 5555 i gsfiiz?-Efii?-' .. - , 5 -was-iv '1 W:-1. . it Vg:-. if tm-ml.. 1 I -- iw 2 ,MgfEWliE8V1',',-,,.K f., , if ix.- ' .
