The drum maior is the symbol of Howe's traditions. He directs the band at all important functions. Rallying Enthusiasm, Joining Organizations Are School Activities Outside of the classroom, students have the op- portunity to pursue their interests further. After- school clubs encompass any students interest and create much individual competition. Rivalry with other schools is keen in many fields, especially tor the debate and speech teams who have excelled in both dual and state meets. The whole school en- ioys supporting athletics and during basketball and football seasons, the success ot our teams is a con- stant topic ot conversation. Our band and drill team always add spirit to the games, and provide an entertaining halt-time show. ln addition to sports and the band, there are many activities: a tall play, a musical production, a variety show, the mock elec- tion, honoraries including Quill and Scroll, and National Honor Society, so many activities, in tact, that each student is insured of having an organiza- tion in which he can learn and participate. Counselors and teachers help students with inquiries and problems concerning schedules and school life.

Supporting Gur thletes- s Sports Howe's athletics enthusiasm can be seen through- out the year: the grim-faced line of harriers on the treacherous cross-country course around Christian Park in the fall, the trained, sinewy wrestlers on the mats in the gym during the winter, the hardworking baseball and tennis teams creating a whirlwind of excitement and activity at Ellenberger in the spring. A standing monument to the community's spirit is the magnificent football stadium in which the Howe foot- ball team had the most successful season in recent years. The tense moments at the track meets, the bristling excitement of a last minute full-court press at sectional time, a long, rolling putt that just reached the hole-these are the moments that com- prised a memorable year of athletics. What really makes Howe athletics a worthwhile activity is not only the successes achieved, but the determination and dedication by which these victories are earned. A game of skill and endurance, baseball is a popular sport. Ellenburger is the scene for many contests. 'x.
