'QOQAS S 'X In 1979, Principal B. H. Remynse joins the students in the exciting festivities of Howdy Day by being Sam Houston's own Mighty Mouse. The first time sophomores were officially picked on by seniors and juniors was in 1966. The tradition did not start the first year Sam Houston was opened because there was not a Senior Class. Originally, the tradition was called Big Sam Day until 1969 when it was changed to Howdy Day. Mr. B. H. Remynse remembers, Howdy Day used to last all day long, andthe week always ended with a skit in which the sophomores were proclaimed Texans. Mr. Remynse also com- mented, Howdy Day was shortened because of the in- creased enrollment. 1 r X 9 h .1 A 1 I 1 X Safe in her class, sophomore Debra Anderson can't wait for Howdy Day to be over.
