I ight on Activities Howeites placed extra-curricular activities in the spotlight They grabbed a sandwich and dashed to PRR practice, then they studied nutrition with the Home Economics Club Chess Club members check-mated each other, and the quiz team held practice matches. Revelers smeared make-up around during their play Howe students pitched in and helped the Student Council during Clean-Up Week TOWER deadlines pressed staffers for time, HILLTOPPER members struggled to meet their deadlines, too We saw our names in Indianapolis newspapers, thanks to the Howe News Bureau. The Hi-Y and Tri Hi-Y joined other clubs from Marion County for work on the Model United Nations. The Speech team went over the state to participate in meets. The choir worked out actions to Rudolph, and the band spent hours practicing for parades. Wide awake at seven o'clock in the morning, the R.O.T.C. practiced battle group formations each Thursday. At Howe, there is indeed an activity for everyone, and the students focus a spotlight on their activities.
