OFFICE, COOKS, CUSTODIANS: workers keep howe functional Howe ' s office staff assisted students by working in the bookstore, library, senior office, and gym, English and music departments. Also, they helped take care of registration, attendance, and the secretarial work for the administrators. Custodians were always busy. They swept halls during classes, washed windows, and repaired broken equipment throughout the building. Many of their jobs were done after school hours. Every evening, the custodians cleaned the classrooms and the restrooms. Every Howe student depended on the cafeteria staff. Each day, the cooks arrived before school and prepared the food they served for lunch. Several of the cafeteria workers were mothers of students and former graduates. 22 education Mr. Bruce Beck Mr. Richard Beck English, Head English Mr. Robert Beckley Mrs. Frances Barnett Music Teacher-aid Mrs. Margaret Benson Miss Sandra Brady Counselor English Mr. Robert Bramblett Mrs. Elinor Bretzlaff Music English

PTA, MEN ' S 400 CLUB: weight system purchased Howe had two parent-teacher groups: the PTA and The Men ' s 400 Club. These two groups have similar goals, and they often worked coopera- tively. The PTA was under the direction of President Mrs. Joan Thomas. A new project sponsored by the PTA was a Tenderloin Fry; this event took place the night of the Football Homecoming. The PTA and Men ' s 400 Club worked at the concession stands during the games. An annual project sponsored by the Men ' s 400 Club was the selling of Howe license plates. Both groups supported the student body by providing new facilities, such as the Universal Weight System the Men ' s 400 Club donated. Mr. Dick Becher led the Men ' s 400 Club as President. 24 education Mrs. Doris Cartwright Mrs. LaVerne Coffin Home Economics, Head English
