Elf! THE TORCH XQEBH 1511111211 Thigh gifrlgnnl OWELL High School is recognized throughout the State as one of the better high schools. In size it is a Class B school. Nearly half of the student body comes from the surrounding rural area. Some of these students drive five, some ten, and a few drive fourteen miles to attend Howell High School. The students of Howell High School are as fine young people as can be found. They are industrious, ambitious, reasonable fun loving people, who are clean in both body and mind. They are willing to cooperate with each other and with the faculty. I am often amazed at their good natured and complete compliance to simple yet important requests that are made. Howell High School is well equipped to serve this group of deserving young people. Of the twenty-one teachers, all but three have an A. B. or B. S. degree while iive either have, or are working on a Master's degree. Each teacher was hired for a particular position and is especially fitted for the work he is doing. Howell High School is a member of The North Central Association of High Schools and Colleges, and is on the three year list of schools approved by the University of Michigan. This permits any graduate of Howell High School who is recommended by the high school authorities, to enter without examination, the University of Michigan or any of the other North Central Colleges or Universities. This association includes all the better institutions of higher learning in this section of the United States. Many of the graduates of our high school are now attending these Colleges and Universities. Work is oifered in a variety of departments, the academic, the commercial, agricul- ture, household economics, and manual arts. A student in Howell High School may specialize in any of these lines of work. Many special activities are a part of high school life. The Student Union, thru its representatives in the Student Council, supports or sponsors many special activities: Foot-ball, basket-ball, base-ball, track, debate, oratory and declamation, school parties, musical organizations, and dramatics. These activities together with the various clubsg The Girl Reserves, Campfire, Future Farmers' Association, Hi-Y, and Model Airplane Club give the students an opportunity for development and training. On the average of once a week, assembly programs of a high caliber furnish en- tertainment and education. Talent from within and without the school furnishes these programs. The Green and Gold, the school paper published bi-weekly throughout the school year, and the Torch, published every four years give Howell High School news and a permanent record of the activities and events of school life. All in All, each person who is a member of the faculty or student body should count himself fortunate and strive to make a good institution still better. To the adviser and staif of the 1930 Torch, I extend the heartiest congratulations for the success of this book. H. MAURICE MURPHY, Senior High Principal. age right I
