when the stadium was added Howeites thought that construction was complete. This year ' s freshman class nearly doubled the senior roster. So, outgrown shops, physical education facilities, and library space wil soon force another addition. Nancy Bruner, senior, aids the To sers in- spection of the new front vsalk. After 25 years of witnessing all assembly programs, dramatic productions, and dances in the gym, Howe students now enjoy an auditorium seating 1500. 17

Gothic Tower Oversees Much Needed Additions One of the gymnasium entrances reveals the Gothic style used by Howe ' s designers. Part of the original Howe build- ing, the Tower has since witnessed the construction of five school additions. In 1940 the gym and locker rooms were added, a cafeteria was cre- ated in what is presently Room 17, and the first bookstore was opened in the current Senior Office. Con- struction of the R.O.T.C. rooms and the present bookstore was completed in 1955. In 1963 the cafeteria wing was built. It included a much needed auditorium, eight science labs, the science lecture room, and today ' s cafeteria. A long-awaited football stadium was added to Howe in 1965. Com- pleted this year, it contains class- rooms, locker rooms, rest-rooms and refreshment stand. A side-walk connecting the front walk and the parking lot was poured last spring. In the future the Tower will see play areas finished and possibly a new gym built. Today ' s building is only similar to the archi- tect ' s original design for Howe. Howe seems small and barren before the addition of the stadium and auditorium. The smoke- stack joins the Tower in its lonely vigil on a wintry day.
