Active school life keeps 1,930 Tower entrance steps are a busy place before school as Howeites pour in from the parking lot and boulevard. Armed with books and papers, Amer- ican Legion Citizenship Award win- ners Dave Carmichael and Anne Husted climb the steps, ready for another full day at Howe. The Legion award is given each year to the out- standing junior boy and girl. Homeroom period on TOWER day sees practically everybody with his nose in a paper. Morris Craft scans the latest Howe news over Carolyn Jones ' shoulder. Fall, winter, spring, five days a week, teen- agers scurry through the halls of Howe. Book- laden, they saunter up and down steps, talking all the while to a fellow classmate about last night ' s date and the newest fad; then, with a click of a locker combination, they switch books and dash madly away to the next class. Often they linger in the hall with the latest steady before ducking into the classroom just as the tardy bell rings. They study and sometimes daydream during study period. In homeroom, they listen to daily announcements over the p. a. and read the Howe TOWER. In class they recite poetry and sing; write themes and work math problems, sketch portraits and titrate solutions. At night they cheer ball teams, rehearse plays, and enjoy themselves at dances. They are forever busy, always going somewhere to do something important. Whoever they are, wherever they are, Howeites are on the go— a big part of what goes at Howe.

bustles w ffi study and activity All Howeites know the voice of their principal though it is impossible for Mr. Charles M. Sharp to know all of them. His friendly good morning greets homerooms as the day ' s news is read over the P. A. T John Kelleher and Tom Grindstaff know that a theme tablet is a necessity in the homework depart- ment. Mrs. Mabel Burkart, bookstore manager, sees to it that they will be well prepared at class time. • Teachers are both on and behind the Howe scenes. They devote not only class hours but also preparatory periods to their work. In the social studies office, Mrs. Marsha Carlson consults department head Hartwell Kayler about a question on a history test.

enthusiastic Howeites on the go The clipping board is always a center of interest. Principal Sharp reads with pride about newsworthy Howeites who prove that Howe Done is Well Done. Vests are popular items, but they bring frequent trips to the sewing box. Sally Cooke shows Sharon Huff that a stitch in time saves many buttons. Although students may snatch some study time to read or write that special note or decorate a theme tablet, most of the study period is devoted to boning up for today ' s exam or preparing tomorrow ' s homework.
