2000 Howe Military School Yearbook

Howe Militarv School

Bill Trout, a twenty year veteran of the Army, came to Howe in 1971.

William Trout first came to Howe Military School in 1971 as the new tactical officer in Echo company 29 years later, he looks back with a smile at the many influences and changes that have taken place around him.

Col. Trout's motto has always been, "If you want to succeed, Howe is the place to do it." He references several past cadets whom he fondly remembers while at our school and who went on be successful people.

He also remembers General Scott, Mr. Malerich, Mr. Arklie, and John Pagin as past and present leaders of the school he admires. He genuinely expresses a fondness for the people at Howe.

Many cadets have the same fondness for the Trout Family. Any cadets who return to the Howe campus often find "an open invitation" to visit with Bill and his wife Doris at the Trout home.

Reflecting upon the time he has been here, Bill would like to be remembered mostfor being fair, just, and never trying to hold a cadet down, but encourage them to reach for their dreams.

Bill Trout seNed as Echo company tactical officer from 1971-1978, Commandant from 1978-1991, and Activities Director from 1991 to the present time.

His wife Doris Trout has been the Alpha company Dorm Supervisor since 1988.

For over 100 years Howe Military School has been a strong and integral part in the lives of many young people. The willed gift by John B. Howe initiated a long history in preparing students for the many challenges

they face in life. Although the faces have changed, the uniforms have changed, the buildings and teachers have changed, the message is still the same. " Fides et Honor " ... have faith and confidence in your own dreams and live them to the fullest!
