QTHINGS or mfznssr IN I959 time this Let's see now, says Mr. Zemper to Arnold Preece, we'll straighten out this coat--be sure to smile. Under- class pictures were taken during registration for the first year. After this hectic period was over, the school year quickly unfolded with biology, solid geometry, English Literature, and many other courses challenging the minds of the students. We present an accurate picture of the curricu- lum in our EDUCATION section on PAGES 4--33. All was not cramming and experimenting at Howell during the past year. Ann Jonckheere and Dick Gehringer, shown dancing at the Winter For- mal, are just having fun.

Those fast-moving games are the result of good hard work on the part of the team, such as 4 this blocking practice shown here. ln our SPORTS K section, PAGES 56--67, we have brought in some of p ' these behind the scenes shots, along with the action fi'l4'f3 .2T't' A pictures at the games. g Here's Dave Fisher -- typical Highlander, rushing to catch the morn- ing school bus. His day, like those of all the STUDENTS, is full of a variety of things from class- work to parties. For a closer glimpse of the life of an aver- age high school stu- dent, turn to PAGES 68--114. 321m-lei A .D xew.. we ,jul A t'ti S- My 1? I Gary Davis seems to have met up with some pretty shrewd customers in Ruth, Matthew and Elizabeth Brady. It's fact that teenagers spend a lot of money every year and this can be easily confirmed by a glance at our SHOPPING section on PAGES 124--146, where teenagers are shown purchasing all of their little necessities of life. 2

ln 15 or 20 years your children may look through this yearbook and chuckle at the funny hair styles the odd clothes and the old old building By 1979 there will probably be Just as many radical changes as there have been since 1868 In that year the first high school was built E D Galloway was the first and only mem ber of the graduating class of 1869 The Central School as the building was known was a Victorian three story brick struc ture with a large cupola topping it off All of the grades were housed here including the nursery school probably corresponding to our kindergarten On the top floor of the building in the third tional talks and exercises given by the students teachers or lecturers in one case the governor of the state addressed the student body By the late 1920's chapel was held only once a week and disappeared altogether in the '30 s The curriculum of the latter part of the 19th century was not too different than it is today The courses offered were Latin German English science history mathematics music and drawing By 1922 homemaking and gym were added to this list and German and Greek dropped Also in 1922 the building we now occupy was completed on the same site as the old Central School which was torn down The Athletic Association H1 Y Girls' Glee Club and Boys' Glee Club were among the many clubs that were started in the early part of the 20th century These clubs and others like them in addition to sports of all kinds were and are a real part of school life An annual event was the Tug of War held between Juniors and Seniors The Juniors usually won this contest although they were several times accused of foul tactics such as using a car or a horse on their side. Speaking of sports Howell had several state or near state champion base- ball teams good basketball and track teams but the early football teams were not too strong. The beginning of the jazz age and the roaring twenties had its effect on the student body. Short skirts bobbed hair and the Charleston took their place on the student scene. Dances were held twice a week in the gym and music was provided live' by two or three of the better school musicians. Vlith the Vlall Street crash of 1929 and the depression that followed many school activities were dropped The Torch first publishedin 1911 under the name of the Scroll was discontinued until the '40's. In the '40's and '50's some changes were made in curriculum with classes like psychology, English Literature, and driver training added. Also Homecoming and the Winter Formal began to establish themselves as traditions on the social calendar. And so we come to 1959. Since 1869, 4,606 students have graduated from Howell High School, including the class of 1959. What have the students done to make history this year? What has happened to make this year stand out above all others? The Torch of 1959 gives you the history of the past year, to add to the history of former years. 3 - ADDED T0 P AST RECORD-- MAKES HISTORY grade classroom, chapel was held every morning.
