Dedication To that mighty fine fellow who has somehow man- aged to boost us through our Senior year in the face of magazine sales, this year book, and insufficient credits. We shall always remember him for his sincere interest in us and our problems as well as for the good times we have had with him. We dedicate this 1949 edition of the TORCH to Mr. Gill in appreciation for services above and beyond the call of duty. +.s4l Q31 .3 as mi Board of Education GLENN SLAYTON President L.

Now the staff can devote more time to conquering the world. It really hasn't been as bad as that, but we'd like to drop a hint to next year's seniors, either plan to have your annual half-finished by next December or else petition the government for an extra three weeks in February. We would have given three weeks of Mr. Gil1's salary to have had that advantage this year. Now that the job is done and visions of dead- lines no longer appear in our dreams to haunt us, the staff wishes to extend its sincerest thanks to everyone who has helped to make this year- book possible, and especially to THE ART DEPARTMENT They have devoted their time, talents, and limber imaginations to produce posters, special effects, and title pages for the TORCH. MR. ZEMPER He must be tired of hearing the patter of big feet running in and out of his studio, but he has been swell through it all. We hope he recovers! MR. GILL If it were not for the good doctor this an- nual would not have been. How can we express ourselves? THE ENGLISH XII CLASS The times they have forced themselves to forget the daily assignment in order to work on this seed catalog will long be remembered. THE BUSINESS MEN OF HOWELL They have given us their support as they have to so many others. MISS WARNER Her plentiful experience in the yearbook game and moral support led us over some of our early stumbling blocks. AND TO YOU, DEAR READER For if you have read this far, it cannot all have been in vain. John Chamberlain Editor , 9 1 3 E f f g 'M T Q' ,JJ Q X IIA! ZZ? 'g f f .3 gf: ff ld, A T? .

It is a branch of the Senior Y-Teens for the junior high girls. The future plans of the jr. Y-Teens are to present two plays to their group which the girls have written themselves.

Varsity Club We feel that this year the Varsity Club has really functioned. Coach Fred Jappinga worked with club members as they reconditioned the football scoreboard, and smoothed out land purchased to enlarge our athletic field. Flags were purchased and placed at the four corners of the football field. One of the most novel things done by the club was to distribute cards with a printed basketball schedule to spectators at the games. A new award system is being worked on and a faculty versus student basketball game is being planned. G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association is sponsored by Miss Jane Davis. The object of the organization is to teach good sportsmanship, co-operation, and fair play. This is the only organization in which a letter may be earned by a girl.

Social parties are held several times during the year. , H1-Y The Hi-Y club is a descendent of the early Y. M. C. A. groups in high schools. It is an organization of boys whose purpose is to create and maintain high standards of Christian character through the school community. During the school year it was a common sight to see a Hi-Y member selling Ever- sharps and pencils with basketball schedules on themg they also had a booth in the Junior Carnival, and they sponsored a paid movie. This money went into the World Youth Fund. Socially, they had a turkey dinner with the Sr. Y-Teens, a formal initiation for the Brighton Hi-Y, and went swimming at the Detroit Y. M. C.

Debate Howell was one of the 119 schools enrolled in the 1948-49 season in the Michigan High School Forensic Association for participation in contest debating. The debate topic this year was, Resolved, that the United Nations now be revised into a federal World government. By winning four of the eight debates in the preliminary series, the Howell teams, coached by Mr. Roger Wilcox, made it possible for Howell High School to be among the approximately fifty schools which were awarded the Detroit Free Press wall plaque for excellence in debating. Student Council The Student Council is the governing body of the Student Union. Each class pres- ident is automatically a member. In addition, each class elects two delegates to the council. Officers are elected annually by popular vote. Five teachers act as advisors. This year the Student Council sponsored paid dances after athletic contests, a re- freshment stand at the athletic field, and a student suggestion box.

The Junior Varsity, under the coaching of Fred, Jappinga won one game while losing three. Reserve Football Coach Fred Jappinga produced a group of scrappy, hard-hitting boys this year.

This year the cheerleaders have helped give us that good old school and team spirit. Under the direction of Miss Jane Davis, they have led our cheering section through both the football and basketball season. At the pep meetings conducted by this group, they put on special stunts. On a special occasion, they sponsored a Snake Dance. Each year they add new fledglings to their group of high jumpers. Next year these beginners will have learned the game and will continue to keep this lively group in the public eye. Baseball The 1948 Baseball team had a very successful season. Coached by John Munn, the Highlanders finished in second place in the Capitol Circuit League, only one game be- hind the leaders.
