Hall of Honor

Continued from page 12

Lowell Thompson was then inducted into the Howe Hall of Honor for his contributions to the growth of Howe in the 1950s which helped grow the school district His nephew Bob Thompson's acceptance speech told the story that Howe's school system was on the verge of closing due to attendance But the affordable homes that Lowell Thompson built brought families to town and children to the schools

Bobby Sollis was then inducted into the Hall of Honor for his many donations to Howe FFA program, farming career, and work as a volunteer fireman Sollis thanked everyone for being there and for voting for him before quickly saying, "that's it" which drew a great response from the audience

During Donna Jarma's induction, people were able to see how the enthusiastic former Howe English and Spanish teacher captured her student's attention as she danced her way up the aisle en route for her speech Her delivery was about her a leap of faith handwritten (in pencil) make-shift contract because the ISD were out of contracts at the time of her offer All set to go to Big Spring ISD, she made one more phone call to Howe before signing and found out Howe wanted her

She spoke of her first moments in Howe with a new superintendent and a new high school principal upon her arrival after she had interviewed with a different superintendent and principal There was also a coin flip on which room she would teach from and which classes she would teach In her first faculty meeting, she said others kept asking if she was really Catholic and if she was a "party girl "

"I belonged here because I took a leap of faith and could have left at any time because I kept saying, 'where have I landed? What is going on?'", said Jarma "This community embraced me and if you don't think I know I'm crazy - I am But I'm happy crazy I'm good crazy"

The chamber wants to thank Abby's Restaurant for the food and the Howe cheerleaders for volunteering to work the event elebrated a renovated ballpark
