Howard
School has molded character and released compassionate and
productive citizens into society for many years. The Howard High School Class of 1972
produced scientists, teachers, chemists, engineers, authors, web
design professionals, nurses, entrepreneurs, ministers, bus drivers,
administrators, bankers, beauticians, realtors, musicians, . . . the
list goes on and on.
Among
the activities available to Howard School students were basketball
(boys' and girls'), football, baseball, wrestling, cheerleading,
marching and concert bands, concert choir, commercial cooking,
tailoring, cosmetology, automotive mechanics, auto body repair,
brick masonry, Student Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
Vocational Office Education Club, History Club, Mu Alpha Theta
Mathematics Club, William J. Davenport Honor Society, Clifford L.
Hendrix Science Club, Future Homemakers of America, The Pacesetters,
Audio-Visual Aids Club, Senior Council, and the Yearbook Staff.
In the
Class of 1972, Jon Ivan Jackson and Patricia Carter were Mr. and
Miss Howard. Tommy Cunningham and Dorothy Davidson were Mr.
and Miss Senior. Kathy Weaver was the Homecoming Queen.
Regina Russell and Ouida Brooks were Valedictorian and Salutatorian.
Our class sponsor was history teacher Mrs. Ellen F. Williams.
Clifford L. Hendrix was our Principal, and John L. Pitts was our
Associate Principal. Mr. Oscar L. McDonald was our Vocational
Coordinator, and Earmer Crutcher was the School Secretary.
The Fabulous Marching 100, and indeed the entire community, lost the
incomparable Grady Black-the
"gold-standard" of band directors-to
another city. Henry Bowles remained the faithful, long-time coach of the winning Howard Hustlin'
Tigers basketball team.
