Ifs 1 32 steps to the top of the hill . .y where Thomas Carr Howe High School stands, vitahzed by some 1,950 teenagers who cUmb those steps. Each day we Howeites in some way put our hesi foot forward, whether into a serious situation or into one of sheer en- joyment. In classes we put our best foot forward to attain better than satisfactory grades so that we can gain skills or basic knowledge to aid us in living. Real footwork is the requirement for pleasure at Howe dances throughout the year. Trying out old ballet slippers or tap shoes fore- tells the coming of the Pleasant Run Revue. The football player steps up for the opening kick-off; the sprinter places his toe at the line. We find that as we work together at school we learn to appreciate friendships we make.

In Howe history 1960 will be remembered as the year that the inbound track of the Pennsylvania Railroad was removed; now we have the vibrat- ing rumble of only tlie outbound trains to remind us of the P. R. R. For motorists the big improve- ment on the campus was the paving of the parking lot last summer. March snow storms, the worst for Indianapolis in fifteen years, only slowed down Howe students. When snowfall was extremel) ' hea ' y, we had a surprise one-day vacation. As tlie year progressed, colorful fads added new make-up to the old scene. Shoe styles blos- somed out in a variety of old standards and wild e.xtiemes. Sweaters of every description brightened the Howe halls. Beatnickism had its influence with dark colors, leotards, bongo drums, yoga, and beat talk. In everyday life— bustling to school, shuffling in the halls, standing in the cafeteria line, and casually walking home— we were active, working, laughing teenagers. ar y Q ip y s go a Qadi ' w sc oo life . . , .
