We welcome Grayson Bible Baptist Church as the newest advertiser with The Howe Enterprise.

Cosmos Ice Cream & Italian Ice opened their doors on Saturday. The location is 974 W. Van Alstyne Pkwy in Van Alstyne.

Former teacher, coach, principal, & superintendent of Howe Arthur Boyle passed away this afternoon about 1 PM. Arrangements are pending.

Boyle twice served as principal of Howe High School and was the head coach of the Howe Bulldogs upon their return to varsity football action after a 10 year absence. His record during that time was 9-8 in two seasons (1958 and 1959) in 8-man football.

He was also former superintendent at S&S Consolidated. Before returning to Howe as superintendent in 1977, he was the elementary principal at Cross Plains, Texas, where he and his wife were from.

Then Board of Trustees President Jack Norman stated in July of 1977, “We felt Mr. Boyle has excellent qualifications because of his education, experience and especially his ability to relate with people, faculty members and students. He has broad experience in the teaching profession as a classroom teacher, coach, principal and superintendent, and the board felt that he was the man for the job in this community.”
