I was at de ls Howe from March 1938 until I graduated in 1946. We worked four hours each day and went to school fours each week day. I learned that there was nothing I couldn’t do. After de la Howe I earned three college degrees and worked on the space program and taught college courses. Calvin Fowler 1946

This is a shout out to all people I remember in these postings. Pam Harris, we spent all those years together, 63 till U graduated early 1970. Conny Dempsey, I had a crush on you, I was 13 you were in huganaut cot. Joe Moore, you were like a big brother, and Lewis and I would be in trouble on campus or Columbia until we matured and I treated Jeanne like she was my sister. Also, Joann Alewine I remember your name, I drove the big farm truck and lived in hesster cot when you came there. I have not been back to the campus since the mid 70s and family and work in far away places took over. De la Howe gave us a place to grow up if you tried. I hope it still will help the youth of today. Levon Smith

De la Howe will give your son more opportunities to learn and grow. I know it is hard to let him go, the things he will gain from the programs available at the school will take him a long way into his future. sincerely, Jo Ann Alewine Durst Alumnus 1969-1972

My son is 15 years old and he was accepted at John de la Howe on August 6, 2012. I miss him but his education is very important to me so I let him go three hours and 45 minutes away from home to get a better education for himself.
