A Decade of Service Howard Williams. Since 1957 Mr. Howard W. Williams has ably led MSHS to new heights as an educa¬ tional institution. The past decade under his leadership has seen Marion’s High School move into a new building, establish a well- balanced senior high curriculum, and make almost unprecedented gains in its total edu¬ cational program. In his constant struggle to improve our school, Mr. Williams is an ad¬ ministrator, a disciplinarian, and an advisor and friend to the students. In addition, his duties take him out of school as he attends civic meetings and seminars and constantly strives to promote better relationships be¬ tween our school and our community. Mr. Williams cheers our team on to victory.
