given to negotiate a lease with the
County of Huron for office space at

slides of the present.
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."
