Following the formal ceremony, therewill be a softlxal ;game be- tween students -and graduates: This anniversary turns one's thoughts backward to Howick Cen- tral's beginnings. The school building, built in the form of an 'H', was completed in September 1963 and officially opened November 22, 1963. At that time it was a 16 -room school. During the late 1960s three rooms and a library were added. There were between 600 and 700 youngsters attending the school in the sixties. The lowest number of students attending Howick Central was in 1985 with 385 pupils. The school population has been increas- ing since then and there are presently 420 students. The school motto, "Where today and tomorrow join hands" reminds us that the purpose of this 25th anniversary celebration is not only to bring back memories of the 'good old days' but to look toward the future of Howick Central School. Paul Statia, principal, is ready to meet the needs for the future. "Education is being called upon to prepare people for a very exciting new century where jobs skills are different. The school needs to meet the changing needs of the future. I believe we are doing that."
