In the general election last Tuesday his fellow citizens thought well enough of him to elect him a member of the local school board. In a Reunion of the Class of 1940 at State College in Raleigh over the week-end he was voted President of his class. This is con sidered a very signal honor as the term is indefinite. His con tinued interest in school affairs at State was rewarded by unani mous approval by his classmates for this high honor. This isn't the first accolade ac corded Howell. Even in high school he attained many honors. He didn’t miss a single Jay m all his years of schooling in Cher ryville. He was an athelete of some note being Co-captain of the football team that won 13 games without a loss, being cham pions of the western conference that year. The loss, to Newton, was the last game of the second years schedule, Howell’s senior year, a real heart-breaker. This team was instrumental in the Cherryville lads acquiring the name of “Ironmen” as they play ed four games without a substi tution. He also played basket ball, winning three letters in each sport making a total of six in High School. Scholastically he nad the best grades of all his classmates at that time and was Valedictorian of his class upon graduation. He entered State College and majored in agricultural Education and once again was afforded many honors. He played four year of college football and was the team Captain his Senior year.
