The new director of the Plant Sciences Institute at Iowa
State University is Steve Howell '59. Steve came to Iowa State from
Boyce-Thompson Institute at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He is
pictured here at a Latin Class toga party in the spring of 1957 with his Latin
teacher, Rose Elliot. Mrs. Elliot's
teaching career spanned over forty years at Ames High as she taught, at
various times, Latin, German, French, Speech and Math. She retired in 1958 and
was succeeded a year later, as Latin teacher, by a young new teacher
from Nebraska, William C. Ripp.
