Dancing, Sledding, Meeting With Friends, Fill Students Life The Brown and Gold dance and the Junior and Senior Proms officially begin and end the social season at Howe. In addition to the formal school functions, friends get together in all activities, at any time and any place. Howe students can be seen sledding down the golf course hills, laughing and having a blast at parties, careening down streets on speeding skate boards, ,snuggled warmly to- gether on cold autumn hayrides or around camp- fires, buzzing the local drive-in, huddled ten strong around a table inside a dimly-lit restaurant after a football or basketball game Wherever there is action, movement, or excitement you will find Howe students.
