We have certainly had a successful year, At the annual vespers service on Sunday, June 10, Howe seniors, parents, and patrons of the community heard the choir sing the traditional The Lord Bless You and Keep You. Since receiving senior rings on February iO of last year, we, the i962 seniors of Howe High School, have gradually advanced to a respected position among all Howeites. As freshmen, we calm- ly accepted hisses in assembly and bashfuily picked up our books when teasing upperclassmen knocked them from our hands. In time we gained stature, and proudly we booed at other freshmen when they dropped their trays in lunch. We were still inferior though, as our butterfiy nets signified. The arrival of the Junior Prom and class rings paved the way for our last and greatest year. There were the usual things - mock election, homeroom in the cafeteria, front row seats in as- sembly, class officers, colors, parties, and, as al- ways, the commencement and senior prom. But somehow each of these prestige symbols meant more to us, this year the honors were ours. Together we cheered our athletic teams, rehearsed for the Pleasant Run Revue, laughed at Jose Jimenez, studied our Indiana government, sang along with Mitch, danced the Twist, and weeped at our last sectionals. It was a year of mixed emotions, and one never to be forgotten. i From babies to hillbillies, from a doctor to a calypso dancer only to see the senior team go down in defeat. Besides the complete with bongoes, all types of senior basketball players showed up for the annual contest with the faculty fatmen, rousing entertainment of the game, the girls' and boys' drill teams and the cheerleaders provided some laughs.

Mr. Hal Tobin Meg's confidence in Evan's love causes her to become greatly alarmed when Evan enters the lobby of Madison Avenue Girls' Hotel with flirtatious Lisa snuggling at his side. Can a small-town college girl find happiness among the scrambling subways, booming business, persistent playboys, and soaring skyscrapers of New York City? This year's senior play, Ask Any Girl, provided a fun-filled account of young Meg Wheel- er's soiourn in the big city. Feeling restrained in the search for a suitable marriage partner in her home- town, Meg ventures to New York with her parents and two elderly aunts, who approve the Madison Avenue Girls' Hotel as Meg's residence. While taking part in a survey, Miss Wheeler meets sophisticated Miles Doughton. Meg's attention soon is lavished on Miles' brother Evan, whom she decides is the perfect mate. Her conniving tricks to win Evan lend to the mirth of the play. Woven into the plot of the leading couple's ro- mance is another love affair, that of Meg's room- mate Jeannie and her suitor Alvin. Other hotel in- habitants and employees of Doughton 81 Doughton combined to present an outstanding performance. A slightly-too-plump Jeannie tries nonchalantly to avoid the wooing of Alvin, a shipping clerk turned executive. The ta- bles turn when Jeannie accepts his marriage proposal.
